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.

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.
