F. WOODWARD ADDRESSES ASSEMBLY j Speaker Is Strong For Millage Tax Bill and Shows Keen Interest in Students William F. Woodward, prominent busines of Portland addressed the student assembly Friday morning. In enthuiastic terms he expresed himself as a steadfast believer in the benefits of higher education, and complimented the students for the; spirit in which they were boosting! the campaign for the millage bill. The Portland man evinced a keen interest in student activities and while the mighty “Oskie” rang thru the building he followed the gyrations! of “Slim” Crandall from his seat with all the apparent delight of a twelve j year old boy. Stunning Vampire Thrills Men, Gets Dates And Smokes A tale of enraged sweethearts, duped men, shocked co-eds and amusing situations is told today by Lyle McCroBkey; who last night, attired as a woman, at tended the student body dance. McCroskey, who is to be the leading man in this year’s senior play, is a master In the art of makeup and. disguise. His attire, mannerisms and portrayal of feminine charms last night was such that many of *his men friends would waltz around the floor with the thrill-giving Miss Jane Watson” before the decep tion was noticed. Mac vamped the men with many bold advan ces and found many of the co-eds watching him with Jealous eyes. His appearance was so lady like that a student doffed his hat when Mac and his attendant boarded a crowded street car, and proffered him a seat. After the dance at an eating place ‘‘Miss Watson” gave the asembled diners a touch of Bohemia by producing a Bull Durham sack and cigarette papers and after rolling a cigarette with mascu line dexterity “she” lit it and blew clouds of tobacco from carmined lips. Also “she” brings J “dates” with six sororities home as a part of the evening’s spoils. It is probable that Mac would have got away without a single i person knowing his identity had it not been for hisham-like hands 1 which sooner or later caused in vestigation as to who the “hash slinger with the blond hair and big mits” was. Bill Ralston seems to be the goat of the entire affair as he got himself “in bad” with many of the girls because of bringing such a “horrid looking” stranger to a student body dance. FRESHMEN POSTPONE CONTEST WITH O. A. C Schedule Had Oregon Dated for Saturday; Small Percent Out for Practice Freshman baseball, due to a late start and the bad conditions of the weather, has progressed little up tJ this time. Little outside practice has been done. O. A. C. had a freshman game scheduled for Satur day, April 24, but the Oregon fresh man have called this off, as the team is not in shape to play. Games may be scheduled with Chemawa and with Salem high school. Dick Nel son is coach, and Arnold Koepke, manager. Although a large number of men signed up ,the turnout has been poor. It is going to be a problem to fill first and second base and one of the outfield positions, due to lack of contestants. Alexander and McEntee are out for outfield positions, and' in the infield, Jacobberger is working at short and Svanerud at third. For the battery there is a larger line-up. About eight men are out for catch er, and Furry and Manerud are showing up well. Five men are con testing for a place in the pitcher’s box. They are Holmes, Temple, He witt, Gray and Ford. TENNIS AWAITS SUNSHINE Tournaments With O. A. C. and Wash., for Junior Week-end Tennis season will open as soon as the weather is favorable, and Oregon has prospects of being well represented in this sport. No defi-i nite schedule has been arranged, but | some of the tournaments are being lined up. Oregon will go to Wash ington, and .on Junior Week-End, O. A. C. will come here. There is also a proposed trip to Stanford, as Willa mette University has asked for a tournament there on their Junior Week-End, May 8, and Oregon will; probably send a team to Salem on that date. Mortimer Brown is captain and ma nager of tennis. Other former Var sity squad players are Kenneth Smith and Harry Westerman. i CUT POLICY IS MODIFIED INSTRUCTORS TO JUDGE Students To Be Posted For Many Absences; Probation May Follow New System In Effect At Once; Missing of Classes To Bring Small Grades A new cut system based on re commendations of the student council revised by a committee of the facul ty, was adopted at the faculty meet ing on Thursday and goes into effect immediately. Under the new plan instructors report students to the registrar for excessive absences, and such reports are treated in the same manner as reports of poor class work —the students are posted. Students posted in two or more subjects either for absences or poor work are to be placed on probation. The revised cut system reads: 1. The present cut system is here by repealed. 2. Instructors shall repot students to the Registrar for excessive absen ces. 3. Reports for excessive adsences shall have the same effect as re ports for poor scholarship; namely, the student shall be posted. 4. A student posted in two or more subjects for either poor scholarship or excessive absences or the two combined shall be placed on proba tion. 5. No absences shall be excused. Posting Starts Promptly Reports from the registrar’s office indicate a desire- on the part of some of the faculty to test the new system ,as 24 students were posted for cuts up till noon on Friday, the first day under the new ruling. Determination of what constitutes excessive absences rests with each instructor, according to the faculty bulletin interpreting the clauses list ed above. Students are diercted to report to the Dean of Men or Dean of Women as the case may be. Not ice is also sent to the Dean and to the head of the student’s living or ganization. Failure to report to the Dean within the specified time sub jects him to being called before the probation committee. In extreme cases of indifference the student may be dropped from the University. The student who fails to attend class suffers a loss, the faculty bulletin states in discussing the pro vision that no absences may be ex cused . The deans and the commit tee on probation shall take into con sideration the cause of the absence in dealing wit hindividual cases, how ever, and there shall be no element of penalty when the student is absent through causes beyond his control, the explanation states. No excuse will relieve the student from the responsibility for the work he has missed, and this responsibility may involve his making up the work mised or suffering a reduction in grade as the nature of the course may determine. w Fall and Winter cuts toum Cuts accumulated during the fall and winter terms will be charged against the students under the old system, according to Carlton Spencer, registrar. These are now being coun ted up and for the first ten cuts one term hour will be deducted from the student’s credit. An additional hour will be d'educted for the next ten cuts or fraction of ten, but no credit will be deducted where fewer than ten cuts are held against a student Mr. Spencer said. Two Join University High Faculty William Thornton, senior in the physics department, and Paul Wei denheimer .senior in the rhetoric de partment, have been added to the staff of supervised teachers at the university high school. Mr. Thorn ton will have charge of a section of general science and Mr. Weidenheim er will teach English. EASTERN PUBLISHER TO SPEAK AT NEXT STUDENT ASSEMBLY W. E. Ellsworth .Will Lecture On Roosevelt) Talk To Be Illustrated W. W. Ellsworth, prominent east ern publisher and lecturer, will ad dress the assembly next Thursday on the life of Theodore Roosevelt. He will illustrate his talk with 130 colored slides of snapshots from the ex-president’s life. Mr. Ellsworth is touring the country under the aus pices of the J. B. Bond Lyceum Bureau. Mr. Ellsworth, whose home is in New York, is a friend of Prof. T. A. Laremore of the law school. “He is a member of a well-established old Connecticut family,” said Prof. Larremore, “is a great grandson of Noah Webster and is a descendant of Oliver Ellsworth, one of the early justices of the supreme court. Mr. Ellsworth has written a num ber of magazine articles and books, his last one “The Golden Age of authors,” being published in 1919. He lias been a publisher for most of his life, retiring from active work in this line in 1915. He was first conected with Scribner’s publishing house, but when the Century com pany was formed he went over to that organization, and was at one time its president. American history the publishing business and the lives of great Americans have been the themes of Mr. Ellsworth’s lectures. GALE SEAMAN TO VISIT Y.

SUICIDE CLUB IN ZOOLOGY Six Students Start Separate Honor System in Vertebrate Class m The Suicide Club has appeared in our midst, but its • namd is more than its meaning. The zoology de partment is trying out an honor system in the laboratory work of the class in Vertebrate Zoology. Six members ot this class, under Dr. John F. Bovard, head of the zology department, have been formed into a special laboratory section and do their work in it with no assistance from instructors. In general, the work of the regu lar supervised sections is followed, but special problems may be worked out. Each member is put on their honor to put in the required number of hours and do the regular amount of work. Members of the calss are Ruth Tuck, Richard Berg, George Adler, George Houck, Ransom McArthur, and H. D. Huggins. Watch Out For Bad Burglars! D. G's Arc Victims Of Looters A gang, of automobile bandits is at work on the campus. Crime is on the increase. The Delta Oammas are the latest to feel the effects of the epidemic of robberies which began with the looting of the Pi Phi domicile some time ago. About 6:30 last evening, while the D. G.’s were eating dinner, the dining room door was sudden ly thrust open and in sprang two masked men. Over leveled “revolvers” they sharply com manded “Hands Up!” The girls did not obey the command, thinking that it was a Joke. Thereupon the robbers advanced upon Vivian Chandler, hut in spite of their display of "firearms” she refused to take the matter seriously. Then they went to the otehr table and see ing a wrist watch on Mildred Huntley’s arm they took it from her. The invaders’ backs were part ly turned to the first table at this time so the brave Vivian and Luceil Morrow led an attack upon them from the rear. A desperate struggle, in which most of the girls took part, ensued. Finally the robbers wrested themselves from the grasp of their attackers -and dashed out of the front door, leaving hats and masks behind. Notorious campus characters profess complete ignorance of the afair, but law department ha bitues promise that the offenders will be brought to trial next Thursday night without fail. The girls do not evince a great deal of interest in the posible verdict but they do want that watch back so they can get to their eight o’clocks on time.

MOOSE JAW LOSES TO VARSITY TOSSERS BT16J010 SCORE Gam* Played Between Showers; Late Start Permits Only Five Innings INFIELD SHOWS SPEED “Jake" Jaeobberger Pitches First Three Frames; Shim Goes In at 8tart of Fourth Coach Huntington's lemon-yellow tossers won a decisive victory over the Moose Jaw team in a slug fest on Kincaid diamond, Friday after noon, taking the Canadian leaguers into camp by a 16 to 10 score. The game was played between showers and In spite of the cold north wind and the ominous dark clouds which kept the few fans who braved the elements, shivering and dancing to keep warm. Five innings were all that could be played on account of the late start but they were fast and furious and the game was full of pep. Rains Make Diamond Sticky The diamond was pretty sticky and prevented some good plays but the game was fast considering this fact. This is the second game the two teams havo staged and neither team is showing any exceptional work so far. Huntington has a fast infield this year, that much is certain and it is going to hustle the other con ference players to get on the bases unless they lilt them safe every time. Francis Jacohherger and Dick Shim .the little Jap, took care of the pitching Job in the game, “Jake” handling the first three innnlngs and Shim going in at the start of the fourth. “Spike” Leslie and “Vince” Jacohherger took care of the receiving Job and alternated in the right field position when they were not behind the hat. In his infield “Shy” started Lind at first, Liehe at second, "Skeet” Manerud in the shortstop position and Fox on third. Collins was substituted for Fox in the fifth inning. Oregon Scores In First Oregon started her scoring machine in the initial frame when they scored 4 runs. “Bill Reinhart got a neat little single off Keough, Lind walked and “Spike” Leslie hit a short fly into right field just out of reach of the right fielder, scoring both Rein hart and Lind. Steers got a hit and Fox grounded a hot one to the Cana dians third base line which Beard couldn’t handle and both ‘Spike” and Steers scored. The inning ended with Oregon In the lead by four runs. The Canadians staged a little sec ond inning rally and put Baird across the plate for a run when Griffith hit a safe one. But this ended their scoring. Oregon started out in the second in the same batting order as they began the game, hav (Continued on page 4) MORE GIRLS NEEDED IN BASEBALL TEAMS Must Practice Six or Eight Times to Be Eligible as Members of Mouse Nines An urgent request for more girls to turn out for baseball practice in preparation for the series of games to be played off among the women’s houses on the campus lias come from Jeannette Moss, a senior in tho phy sical education department who is coaching the g'ds in baseball this spring.
