SPEAKERS COMING TO CAMPUS IN BEHALF OF WORLD CHURCH MOVE Doc. H. C. Mason and Dr. H. H. Bell to Be Here Monday, Tuesday, Thursday The men speakers of the Inter church World Movement of* North America will he on the campus Tues day, Wednesday and Thursday of next week. These speakers will be of great interest to students, accord ing to Rev. William Moll Case, Roy Veatch and others who have heard them give addresses. They were chosen from scores of splendid speak ers because of their particular gifts of intersting students. “Doc” Horace C. Mason, as he is commonly known to the students of the University of Washington, alone is a treat, according to Roy Veatch. He is bald-headed, extremely adept at the art of face making and pos sesses rare skill as a controtionist. “If any man could fall asleep during one of his talks he would have to be deaf, dumb blind and unconscious,” said Mr. Veatch. “If for nothing else than becoming acquainted with “Doc” Mason the students should make a special effort to hear him.” Dr. H. H. Bell will be another speaker wTho will have something to give the students. During the war he was engaged in overseas work and in the opinion of Rev. William Moll Case he was one of the best liked speakers in the field. Formerly he was prominent in the activities on the University of California campus, and now has won a national repu tation as Associate Secretary of the Educational department of the Inter church World movement. Miss Oolooah Burner is the only member of the party who has a par ticular message for the women of the University. During the war she was head of the Y. W. C. A. nurses of the Johns Hopkins unit and was abroad a littlS over a year. Previous to her service abroad she was one of the most popular secretaries among university students and was always considered to be a rare feature of Y. W. C. A. conferences, according i to Dean Elizabeth F. Fox and Miss Urith Dailey. The girls will have a rare privilege in being able to confer with Miss Burner on vocational guidance. Ruth Flegal and Mildred Weeks have charge of consulting hours for the girls and University women interest ed may see either of these girls. J. 1. ALMACK WINNER OF PRIZE WITH POEM; CONDON OAKS THEME Verses Written In Theta Sigma Phi Contest to Be Printed In Oregana James L. Olmack is the winner of the poetry contest just concluded by Theta Sigma Phi, women’s journal istic fraternity, for poems on a cam pus subject. A prize of ten dollars has been awarded to the author, and the poem will be printed in the litei* ary section 0|f the Oregana. The women’s plea for poetic ex pression of campus life or spirit went almost unheeded. Of the few turn ed in, Mr. Almack’s poem was by far the best, according to Miss Mary Watson, one of the judges of the con test. The subject of the poem is the Condon oaks, memorial of Dr. Thomas Condon, pioneer geologist in Oregon, and professor of geology in the Uni versity for a quarter of a century. “This poem is superior in technique and content to the rest,” said Miss Watson, “and Mr. Almack has evi dently understood and caught the spirit of the old geologist for whom the oaks were planted.” The contest is expected to be an annual offering by Theta Sigma Phi, and it is hoped that more of the very real genius on the campus will be given expression and use in the year ly Oregana. The poem is given below: A sturdy living monument you stand; Yielding us memories of one who knew The secret of past ages; how they drew Vast wonder through dim aeons on the sand, That shaped the universe, and made the land Rise out of wild waters; gave to view The tale of worlds destroyed and made anew. Give us his wisdom and clear-seeing eye For truth; the power to see In simple things the broad immensity Of Space and Time, that living cannot die; And knowing, lift us to the light Feeding his torch; that we may be Clothed with the holy prophet s power and might, A proud uplifted living memory. O. A. C. CLAMPS ON BAN; GAMES CALLED OFF (Continued from page 1) not be - looked upon with the same interest and enthusiasm as otherwise and it is probable for the good of the game that the Aggies have taken this step. The season just ended has been seriously disrupted by the influenza epidemic, but there seems to be every reason to feel proud of the team which has represented Oregon in basketball this year. Basketball has evidently returned to its pre war footing on the Pacific coast and while Oregon did not have a cham pionship team in the running she had one which was a force to be feared throughout the. season. Team Does Well on Road The fact that the team won a larg er percentage of games on its road trips than at home, speaks well for the quality of the players. Several Of the contests on the Eugene floor were thrillers, and the ten-minute overtime victory against Washington was a classic in itself. It is almost time for the passing around' of all Coasf honors and it is safe to predict that some of the Ore gon men are due for consideration in that respect. Patronize Emerald advertisers.
