\ VOLUME 21 EUGENE, OREGON, THURSDAY, Emerald MAY 27, 1920 NUMBER 83 E. W. HOPE RESIGNS AS DEAN OE LAW, TO RE-ENTER PRACTICE Head of School Expects To Go To Colorado; Plans Not Yet Definite GREAT GROWTH IS SHOWN Registration of 100 Expected Next Year; Library Contains 5000 Works Dean E. W. Hope, head of the law school in the University, is resigning his position here to engage in the practice of law in Colorado, for which state he will leave in June. This an noucement was made last evening, and came as a surprise to his friends here. He has not handed in his official re signation to President Campbell as yet, but will probably do so when the board of regents meet in June. No successor to Dean Hope has been nam ed, but one will probably be named at the board of regents’ meeting. Dean Hope has not definitely de cided where he will enter law prac tice, but is thinking of going to Den ver. Insufficient remuneration here is the reason for his resignation, he states. Coming to the University of Oregon in 1913, from Los Angeles where he had been engaged in the law practice, Dean Hope became a mem ber of the law faculty of the Univer sity. At that time the school was in Portland, under the direction of the late Judge C. U. Gantenbein, and it consisted chiefly of night classes. Law School Grows Fast Under the direction of Dean Hope the law school has grown to be one of the most important schools in the University. He was the only profes sor here the first year, but the faculty nas graauany grown until it now in cludes three full time and two part time professors. E. R. Bryson, of the Smith and Bryson law firm, and Dr. James D. Barnett of the University faculty are the part time instructors. In 1915 the board of regents de cided to move the law school to the Eugene campus. This year it has had the distinction of being admitted to the Association of American Law Schools. Only 50 schools in the Unit ed States are members of the as sociation, and this places the school here in class one. Any student going from here can be admitted to eastern law schools with full time law credit. When the University law school was started, there were no full-time law students, but this term there are nearly 70; a registration of 100 is ex pected in this department next year. The school started with no books; now it has a library of 5000 books and pamphlets. Graduate of Pennsylvania Dean Hope received his A. B. de gree in 1898 from the University of Pennsylvania and his M. A. from Le land Stanford in 1903; his Ph. D. from Johns Hopkins in 1905 He has also been a student at the universities of Berlin and Munich. Bats In Old Deady At Peace No More; Scientists On Trail Bats in some belfries may never be disturbed, but the bats in the Deadv hall “belfry” are certainly not in this class. Hubert Pres cott, a major in the zoology de partment, is right on their trail. This trail is a little white ladder leading from the third floor to the land of beams, bats, and cobwebs. Until this week these night kings reigned supreme in their lofty tow er. But their quiet has at last been disturbed, for the inquisitive Prescott, with the aid of a few other men from that department, is seeking into even the innermost corners of their retreat. It is a natural laboratory, and Dr. John P. Bovard, head of the zoology de partment. Very few people know anything about the general life of bats, their habits, feeding, nest ing, and the feeding of their young. These are a few of the points the boys are looking into. Two kinds of bats were found, a long-eared type, and a short-ear ed type. The boys didn’t say whether or not the long-eared ones were the studious ones that had strained their ears listening to lecturers below discussing their habits and history. At any rate hundreds of the black fellows were found, hanging on the beams in the attic, and literally covering the place up there. PATTERSON TO TEACH HERE Graduate of ’17 to Bring Bride For Summer Session Chalmer Patterson, ’17, of Eugene, who is now an instructor in the de partment of physics in Albany College, will teach here during the summer school session. The early part of June, he and Mary F. Irvine, a graduate of Albany College and now a teacher of music there, will be married. Mr. Patterson and his bride will make their home in Albany, but will both be in Eugene for the summer. Miss Irvine will take some work in the University. Mr. Patterson was an assistant in the physics department in the Univer sity and last summer took some work in preparation for his master’s degree. COMMUNITY PLAN BEGUN New Phase of Extension Wqrk Being Introduced by Girls Uldawalla Basler and Florence Fu ruset are starting what may be a de finite part of the extension division’s work if their work proves successful. Miss Basler is coaching a play to be given at Wendling as part of the pro gram at the opening of the L.L.L.L. hall at that place, and Miss Furuset is coaching a number of children in a drill at Marcola. This is a start toward the commun ity work plan now being followed by a number of colleges and universities in their extension programs, and has proved successful in a number of places. Exhibit of Design Praised Highly By Portland Expert Batiks, Posters, Hat Boxes, and Book Cases Fine, Says Miss Wuest Designs for batiks, hat boxes, de signs for materials, vases, book cov ers, and all the other places where a design may be applied, are on ex hibition at the architecture building this week. On the second floor in the large class room reserved for ex hibits arranged on the wall are the exquisite products of the classes in art. “This is the finest exhibit I have ever seen at the University of Ore gon.” said Miss Esther Wuest, super intendent of art in the Portland pub lic schools, who is in Eugene for the purpose of seeing the exhibit. “It ■seams that they have the strong (Continued on page 4) SHORT MUSICALS PLANNED Half-Hour Recitals Free to Public Will Be Given Next Year Half-hour musical recitals, open to the public, and absolutely free of charge, will be a new feature of the ! extensive program planned by the | music department for next fall, ac ; cording to Dr. John Landsbury, dean of music. The programs will be held l once a week at some convenient hour i such as from 7:15 to 7:45 in the even ing so that everyone can attend. “The purpose of the recitals,” said ! Dr. Landsbury, “will be to keep the i students in touch with good music, as well as afford an opportunity for ad ! vanced music students to appear in i i recital.” The recitals will probably be held in the new music building which will be ready by next fall. R. JL BOOTH FINK FIELD IPS HIDE BF ZOOLOGY STUDENTS Museum Work Given New Start} Plans For Development Commenced TWO SPRING OUTINGS TAKEN Biological Survey of Region Near Mt. Pitt to Be Conducted this Summer R. A. Booth, state highway commis sioner and business man of Eugene, is the friend of the University who has financially supported the spring field trips made by Dr. John F. Bovard. head of the zoology department, and by students in that department. These trips, of which there were two, were made to the coast, and to Siltcoos Lake, near the coast. Mr. Booth has long been interested in this sort of work, said Dr. Bovard, and has regretted that the museum and field work of" the University was compelled to decline during the war. Through Mr. Booth’s generosity the museum work has been given another start, he continued, and it is planned to develop it as part of the depart mental work. A summer trip .o southern and southwestern Oregon is being planned and Mr. Booth will finance it in part, according to Dr. Bovard. The Univer sity has practically no specimens from this part of the state, he said. The museum department of the University of California has studied the birds and mammals in the region just over the line from Oregon, and when those on the Oregon side have been studied, the two surveys can be correlated, said Dr. Bovard. Mt. Pitt Survey Planned We expect to make a biological survey, he continued, of the region around Mt. Pitt, which is sometimes cabled Mt. McLaughlin. Harlan Holm es and Hubert Prescott, majors in the zoology department, and Dr. Bovard or some one to represent him, will make the summer trip. They plan to start as soon as commencement is over, and will be gone for six or eight weeks. During the expiditlon they will make collections of birds and mam mals, and if possible of reptiles. On the first spring trip, from March 28 to April 3, Dr. Bovard, Harlan Holmes, and Hubert Prescott obtained 89 speciments. These were of the bird and animal life around Siltcoos Lake, on the coast, and were all additions to the University museum, said Dr. Bovard. The Townsend Warbler was one of the rarest birds found on this trip. New Specimens Obtained Eighty-seven specimens were secur ed on the second trip to the coast, from April 30 to May 3. All of these were very interesting material, said Professor Bovard, and were new to the collection here. Most of them were water birds among which were the Western Sand-piper, Red Back Sand piper, Alaskan Sand-piper, and the Greater Yellow Legs. The second trip was made during the great spring migration of /the birds, he said, and the sight was won derful. Thousands of birds flew over, the air was filled with them from early morning to late at night. All for Research Work These speclments were all study skins, for research work, said Dr. Bo vard, and not for show purposes. At present the department has no place for mounted specimens, and they will not be mounted. They can be mounted later, he said, if museum room is se cured, but they are more valuable for research work than for show. Mr. Booth, the man who has made all this work possible, and who by his help has given the University museum work a new start, has lived in Oregon most of his life, and has been heavily interested in th8 timber business for many years. He has long been inter ested in hunting and fishing, and in all outdoor life. Mr. Booth has given liberally to the endowment fund of Willamette University. This is his first gift to the University for scientif ic work. OREGON NINE LEADERS IN NORTHWEST, THIRD Team Wins 10 of Season’s 18 Games, Breaks Even With Stanford; Beats O.A.C. BERG FANS 71 IN 10 GAMES Lind Bats .423, Gets 5 Homers; Skeet and Knudsen Next; Steers, Berg and Leslie Rank High The varsity baseball team finished the season as northwest conference champions and tied with Stanford for third honors In the Pacific coast con j ference with a percentage of .600. In j the coast conference Oregon won 7 J and lost 7 games and Stanford won ! 5 and lost 5. California claims first honors in the coast conference, having won the six conference games which were played. With a record of 8 wins and 6 defeats in conference circles the University of Washington nine places second in the coast conference. Oregon and Stanford are tied for third; O.A. C. placed fourth, and Washington State in the cellar Besides Oregon the northwest con ference is made up of O.A.C., Washing ton State, Idaho and Whitman. The Oregon team’s season record counting games with Whitman and the University of Idaho is 10 victories out of 18 games played, or an average of .565. In the northwest and coast con i I fCrences Oregon won all four of her i games with the Washington State col legt nine and broke even with the O. A.C. team in the annual four game series, each team winning two games. The University of Washington claim ants for the 1920 title took three out of four games from the varsity, while Stanford captured the only two games played with the University this year. Berg Fans 71 Art Berg was strikeout king for the season. In the ten games in which he worked the big southpaw struck out 71 batters. He won five out of the seven games which he started and worked effectively as relief pitcher throughout the season. In the last week of the season he pitched three games in four days, winning two and losing to the Aggies by a 3 to 2 score in the last game of the series after blanking them 4 to 0 the day before. Francis Jacobberger won four out of five games which he started. He struck out 18 men during the season. Jacob son struck out 29 men in the 6 games in which he worked. The big right hander was nosed out by a one-point lead in two of his games. He looked at his best as a relief pitcher in the second O.A.C. game Batting honors for the season go to Captain Herm Lind, varsity first sacker who pounded opposing.pitchers for a season’s average of .423. Skeet Manerud, lead off man and shortstop, is second with .381 for the season. Knudsen came in third among the varsity sluggers. His season’s mark was .362. Reinhart was next with .333. Leslie, Steers and Berg also ranked high, their averages being .290, .276, and .272 respectively. Lind Leads In Homers Captain Lind leads the home run hitters easily with 6 circuit swats to his credit. Twi of these in the first game with the Aggies spelled defeat for Jimmy Richardson’s men. Man erud, Knudsen and Vince Jacobberger each connected for a home run during I the season. Carl Knudsen, right fielder, leads in three baggers with a total of six. Bill Steers follows close on his heels with five. Spike Leslie connected for three three-baggers, while Lind and Berg each got one. Captain Lind annexed six two-bagge|T5 in addition to his quintet of home runs. Steers, Rein hart, Knudsen, Fox and V. Jacobber ger got two apiece, while Manerud and Leslie were content with one. McPherson College has organized an anti-tobacco society. It recently made several trips into the country for the purpose of converting country folks. Cushions Refused; Fender Seats For Senior Picnickers Those sedate, long-faced, and noble browed, people who wander with scholarly steps across the cam pus are the seniors. For four years they have awed the incom ing babes into subject slavery; for four years they are supposed to have dazzled the eyes of the school with their shining faces and superior intellects. But even a senior is capable of really enjoying himself occasion ally. Tuesday was the date of the annual senior picnic, when every senior cast his books into a corner, care to the wind, and ate pickles and ice cream cones. One of the big trucks ready to carry them out into the country stood by the street car tracks. A car came along. A tall red • headed girl rushed out, hailed the eonductr, and begged^ a ride. Then she and her companion; climbed onto the cow catcher!, ^ and thus seated in state becom ing to their class, rode several blocks. The sight was viewed by ■ many, and circumstantial evidence shows that Alys Sutton and Jean nette Moss really did ride thus. VAUDEVILLE CALLED OFF Junior Class Cancels Stunt Show Because of Conflicting Dates The junior vaudeville which was to have been given the latter part of the spring term has been definitely called oft', according to Johnny Houston, chairman of the committee on stunts for the show. Conflicting dates with the dramatic department and the late ness of picking out a suitable play were given as reasons for not putting on the performance this year. “There is no reason in the world why we couldn't put on as good a show as the Oregon Agricultural col lege, but we simply started too late in the year,” said Houston. The committee sent to Portland for a number of plays from which to pick one suitable for the junior circus but none of them were desirable. Plans for a junior vaudeville were first started prior to the spring vacation, but owing to so many college activities little time could be spent on stunts and features for the show. BUSINESS POSITIONS OPEN Commerce Students Offered Job With Montgomery, Ward & Co. R. C. Moore, representing Montgom ery Ward & Co., was on the campus Monday interviewing students of the commerce department with the inten tion of selecting some of them as fu ture executives in its new store. The company is erecting and equipping a complete branch store on the old Lew is and Clark exposition grounds in Portland. Mr. Moore said that previous ex perience in the Chicago plant has demonstrated the fact that commerce graduates are better fitted for the work than any others. He said that if the men he caine here to get ac quainted with thought that they would like the work they could come to Portland and see the new building and talk with the employees. Mr. Moore said that approximately 1000 to 1200 people would be employed. LIFE IN NEAR EAST TOLD Dr. Lincoln Wirt Talks to Class About Armenian Relief Work Dr. Lincoln Wirt, of Berkeley, Cal ifornia, who has Just returned from Armenia and Syria, is a visitor on the campus and addressed Dean Fox’s vo cational guidance class Tuesday morn ing in Vlllard hall, at 11 o’clock. Dr. Wirt spoke on Armenian relief work, and gave facts on this from his per sonal observation of conditions in those countries. Dr. Wirt has had many interesting experiences while in the near east. After the British captured the city of Jerusalem he rode over it in an aln plane and dropped roses into the streets. LEI ABBOTT, '21 «CAPTAIN OF VABSITY TRMTK TEAM Nine Men Left This Afternoon For Northwest Meet at Pullman Saturday LAST EVENT Of SEASON Chances for Victory Are Slight; Sport Writers Opine Oregon May Win Six Events Leith Abbott, a Junior from Ashland, was elected captain of next year’s track team at a meeting held Tues day afternoon. Abbott is a natural born runner and has for two years performed on the varsity. He has al ways featured in the half-mile and the relay, and has won many honors in these events. The varsity track men, nine in num ber, left Eugene at 1:50 this after noon for Pullman, where the delegates of the Northwest will vie for the championship in a meet Saturday. This is the last meet of the season with the exception of the Olympic tryouts at Pasadena, June 26. and P. N. A. meet, June 12, in Portland. The Oregon men making the trip were Captain Hank Foster, Kenneth Bartlett, Harry Hargreaves, Leith Ab bott, Thomas Strachan, Glenn Walk ley, Carl Knudsen, Sidney Hayslip and Dick Sunderleaf. Bill Hayward went to Salem by auto Wednesday, and will join the. team in Portland. Bill Hayward will not enter a reg ular team in the P. N. A. hut several members will enter as individuals. Kenneth Bartlett, Hank Foster, Leith Abbott, may enter the gathering with the idea of later being selected for the Olympic team tryouts. Sport writers give Oregon the chance to win six events in the north west meet. Hank Foster in the 100 and 220 and the broad jump, Abbott In the half-mile, and Bartlett in the dis cus throw, ought to win considerable points for the Eugene students. Fos ter has defeated the athletes from Washington and O. A. C. in his events before this season bo he ought not to have any trouble winning, as Wash ington and O. A. C. will undoubtedly furnish the strongest competition. Bartlett will find his strongest op ponent in Pope of Washington. He took second to the Washington man in the dual meet held in Seattle May 8, but Ken broke the coast record at the Palo Alto gathering. Abbott will be the only entry In the 880, end his performance this season shows he will deliver the goods. The relay will probably be run by Foster, Hayslip, Sunderleaf, and Ab bott. Both Sunderleaf and Hayslip are dependable milers, which makes the team look fast. Since this team won at Corvallis when the Aggies ran away with all three places In the 440, they ought to stand a good chance for first place at Pullman. If the dope is not scrambled too thoroughly, O. A. C. will take the lead in the mile, hurdle races, high jump, shot put, javelin and the meet —perhaps. The University of Washington, Ida ho, Montana, Washington State col lege, O. A. C. and Oregon will enter nine-man teams in the meet. Local dopesters regard O.A.C. as the strong !est team among the entrees, and will ■ probably win the meet, as Oregon's i inexperience will not be able to cope with Mike Butler’s veterans. With perhaps the exception of the meets in which he will enter as an individual, Hank Foster will run his last race next Saturday for his alma mater. Foster has been a consistent star since his advent at Oregon. All this season he hqs been bearing the brunt of the work in the speed events, and in former years his work has been enormous. No man has shown great er fidelity and faithfulness to the track work at Oregon than Hank Foster. Science Club Elects Officers Dr. John F. Bovard, head of the de partment or zoology, was elected pres ident oC the Science club at its meet ing last Tuesday evening. Dr. Ray mond H. Wheeler, professor of psy chology, was elected secretary. The officers were also installed at this meeting, and will hold office for the ensuing year.
