Sigma Nus and Owls Qualify as Firemen and Dish Jugglers While the story of the fire at the home of Dr. and Mrs. M. L. York carried in Tuesday morn ing's paper was correct in most details, there were some the re porter failed to get. Members of Sigma Nu and the Owl club answered the call, Sprague Car ter assuming command. The fire originated in the attic of the house and an attempt was made to drown the fire by fight ing it from the outside instead of from the inside, which caused a great amount of water to soak through the walls. Every article of furniture was carried out by the University students and townsfolk, the fire men being conspicuous by their absence. Carl Newbury bids for the leather medal by staying up stairs and passing out furniture. Jimmy Ross, diminutive member of the Owl lcub, claims the pearl handled mop, as he rescued the family strong box. Art Tuck is said to have handled more dishes during the fire than a hasher, and according to late reports, none were broken. Fortunately, several of the men picked up a heating stove, in which there was a healthy fire, and carried it to safety. During the fire enough hose was un wound to stretch to Skinner's Butte, which mattered not, con sidering someone forgot to turn on the water. BASEBALL GAME OFFICIALLY OPENS JUNIOR WEEK-END (Continued from page 1) The spirit of a good Junior Week end was doubly strengthened today upon the appearance of the Oregana, a better, more appropriate edition never having been issued before. The book has a dark green, rich looking cover, carrying an appropriate de sign and including cuts which are remarkable for their clearness. Ac cording to Jack Beneflel, publicity manager for Junior Week-end, this is the best Oregana ever published, with the best cuts and material, and the editor, Helen Manning, has built a perpetual memorial to herself and her alma mater within its covers. The feature section of the year book is sparkling with pep and full with keen wit and clever articles. The books are being dsitributed from the administration building and every one is urged to go and get his Ore gana as soon as possible. Three dol lars is due on the book before they can be obtained and only a few ex tra copies besides those ordered have been printed so that any wishing — extra copies should get them early. The editor states that no more will be published. * Football Trophies Here Another surprise that will add to the enthusiasm of the week-end is the arrival of the gold football watch charms for the men who played in the Harvard-Oregon game and these will be given out along with the other trophies after the sixth dance at the Junior Prom. Through the ef forts of the Women’s league it was possible to get these watch charms for the football heroes with the money taken in at the Women’s league leap year dance. All of the football men are back on the cam pus and will be present to accept his trophy with the exception of Hollis Huntington, and an endeavor is being made to get -him here by that time a swell. As complete a program as has ever been published has been gotten out for Junior week-end under the man agement of Ernest Crockatt and is being sold in the various houses on the campus. This program, accord ing to the way Jack Benefiel put it, carries everything from the word go to the finish of the week-end. It is complete in every sense of the word, good looking and contains every en try in every event which is to take place during the entire week-end. The first dress rehearsal for the senior play took place last -night, proving to the satisfaction of all that the cast had been well chosen and would put on a finished produc tion. The costumes and property arrived for the show Tuesday and everything is in readiness for a crowded house. Every member of the cast is well picked and doing his work efficiently and the play is bound to be a huge success, says Benefiel. Canoe Entries Given.

PROBATIONS ON DECREASE Number Drops From 68 in Winter to 59 in Spring Term Probations for failing to make the required nine hours of credit the pre ceding term have decreased from 68 during the winter term to 59 for the spring term, according to Registrar C. E. Spencer, while probations for, excessive absences, which were just' begun this term, is raising the num ber. These resulting from too many: cuts already amount to 12 for this term. Freshmen are the worst offeiiders in the matter of probations, accord ing to figures on that subject, with sophomores a close'second. For pro bation No. 1, or failure to make nine hours a term, 27 freshmen and 26 sophomores were on the list for the winter term, while only 10 Juniors, 2 seniors, and 3 speicals were included. The student usually fulfills the re quirements of probation, as only six have been dropped from the Univer sity for failure to do so by the com mittee for this purpose. The report of this committee also shows that 138 have been posted for excessive ab sences so far this term, and 13 posted for poor scholarship. During the winter term 19 were put on probation for excessive absences. Inquiring Student Gets Real Authentic Data on Candidate “This editor of the Emerald job appears to .be attracting a lot of attention.’’ It was Wednesday morning, just after elections had started. The student who made the above remark was sojourning at. the Nicotine Club with “Bas’’ Wil liams and a long, skinny junior. “Who is this fellow Harry Smith that’s after the job?” It was the inquiring student again. “I haven't voted yet,, and I don't know whether Smith is the right man or not.” “Pretty good fellow,” replied the long, skinny junior. "You’d better vote for him.” “Good man all right,” said Bas, with an unseen wink at the long boy. A few minute’s argument be tween the inquiring student and the long, skinny junior convinced the former that Smith was the man for the job. “But say, just what does this Smith guy look like? Who is he, anyway?” • It was the long, skinny junior who replied. “I happen to be Harry Smith,” he said.
