OREGON WILL ENTER TWO RELAY TEAMS IN U. OF W. CARNIVAL Triangular Meet Is Called Off Owing to Soggy Track In Portland Oregon will enter two teams in the relay carnival to be held next Satur day in Seattle, under the auspices of the University of Washington. The triangular meet between M. A. A. C., Oregon and O. A. C. scheduled for last Saturday was called off, not only be cause of the poor condition of the teams, but owing to the soggy track in Portland. The quarter and half milers are to be worked hard during this week, according to Bill Hayward. He ex pects to enter two teams in the meet, a two mile and a one mile relay team. It is not known what men will make the trip to Seattle, for much will de pend upon the week’s work. The Aggie track men are probably in better shape than any others of the Northwest cinder artists. This is because the Corvallis men have been able to work out in the armory during the long rainy spell. However, Cap tain Foster is optimistic in regard to the condition of the Oregon team, “bregon ought to be in as good con dition as any other northwest college,” he said. “All of the colleges Hhve been seriously handicapped by the ad verse weather.” University of Montana, Idaho, W. S. C., O. A. C., University of Washing ton and University of Oregon will all enter teams in the relay carnival at Seattle Saturday. ZOOLOGISTS CONDUCT MUM EXPEDITION OVER APRIL VACATION Animals of Coast Pine Strip Studied; Unnamed Man Gives Funds Dr. John F. Bovard, head of the zoology department, and Hubert Pres cott and Harley Holmes, majors in the department, are conducting a series of museum expeditions during the week-ends. They spent the April • vacation on the coast studying a strip of pine forest along the ocean. The money for these expeditions was donated by a man not connected with the University who is especially in terested in museum work, and who does not wish to make his name known for the present. “It was known,” said Dr. Bovard, “that the plant life in this pine strip was similar to the plant life in the pine forests of the mountains. The object of the expedition was to de termine whether the* animal life was similar to that of the higher regions, and it was found to be practically identical with the life in the moun tain pine regions.” Typical mountain forms found on the trip were the mountain chickadee, the Townsend warbler found in high altitudes and in Alaska, the myrtle warbler, a mountain form, and the Oregon chickadee, which usually nests high. The golden crown kinglet, which nests in the high mountains but migrates to the lower regions, was also found. About 90 specimens of birds were found, said Dr. Bovard, and were brought back to the University where they Will ie used as study specimens. This is the first time a museum ex pedition has been financed by an out sider, he continued, and the gift will enable the three men to continue the work over week-ends until school is out. They expect to go over to the coast several times on these trips. “I am happy to see the museum work revive again,” said Dr. Bovard. “It has a good start now, and is ready to go in great shape.” THREE FROM GIRL’S GLEE CLUB ENTERTAIN Gladys Lane, Genevieve Clancy, and Kate Chatburn Boost Millage Campaign in Wendling Gladys Lane, Genevieve Clancy and Kate ChatburmS, a trio from the Wo men’s Glee club, made a decided im pression on residents of Wendling when they put on a short entertain ment there Friday evening before an organization of loggers, according to Leland A. Coon, instructor in the school of music and director of the Women's Glee club. After the mus ical numbers Miss Chatburn, the com edienne of the group, made a speech on the millage tax which proved to be effective to the extent that the ladies of the town volunteered to go through the mill to see if every man has re gistered. Performances relative to this are to put on by the different groups of the men’s and women’s glee clubs, be ginning this week and lasting indefin itely until May 21, the day of registra tion. A new interest and enthusiasm is felt through this plan and effort will be taken to make each of the programs and speeches as successful as this first one. * Remey Cox, head of this particular campaign, is making out a schedule for the next five or six weeks show ing where and when the trips will be made and by whom. In this way the students can keep up with the in terest in the work of fellow-students. MAY 7 FINALLY SET FOR LEAP YEAR HOP Women’s League Dance to be Held in Spite of Postponements— « Tickets One Dollar Third time is charm—the date for the Women’s League dance, twice postponed, is now definitely fixed for May 7, and as there is no other col lege entertainment scheduled for that evening the committees are planning for a record attendance. Any shy maid who couldn’t get up enough courage to invite the man of her choice to the affair last term is thus given an other chance. There are new stu dents who are anxious to go, a few have left school, and so many changes will have to be made in the dancing programs that the eleventh-hour con verts need not worry about filling their partner’s programs. Tickets are one dollar each, girls, and you have the privilege of taking your escort via a taxi, street car. or on foot, just as you may feel inclined and your finances permit.
