Increase of 131 Over Last
Year Is Shown.
A total of 1354 students were fully
registered in the University up to 4:00
e clock Wednesday afternoon. This
shows an increase of 131 students over
the registration in the winter term of
19-0. Last year about 300 students reg
istered late and it is expected that at
east that number will pay late fees this
year.
Many students took advantage of the
opportunity to register before going
0,1,0 l°r the holidays, so the new term
started with 114 already Enrolled. Tues
'Jay the number totaled 880, with 474
moi e names entered on Wednesday.
J'*10 001 term showed a registration of
hss; students, hut , according to Mrs.
eorge Fitch of the registrar’s office,
tie winter term is not expected to total
ji'nie than 1GOO students. With so many
ate rogisterations the office is unable
0 ®lve any definite figures.
’there are an unusual number of for
students who return to Oregon to
hnish their courses, says Mrs. Fitch. She
e °s that one reason may be on ac
count of the large number of self sup
porting students found in the school.
In the winter term of .1020, 182 new
Audents entere’d and it is expected that
lP number will be about the same this
year.

About twenty-five candidates are
working out nightly under the direction
of Coach Bolder in preparation for the
coming game with the Multnomah club
tossers which will be staged at the club
gym in Portland on Saturday night. This
■will be the opening game for the club
men as well as the varsity quintet, and
from all indications it will be a hard
fought contest.
Multnomah club is considered to have
one of the strongest fives this year that
has ever represented them and they are
practicing faithfully for the opening game
of the season. Coach Toomey has a
number of veterans to pick his team
from, including X. Clcrin, at center;
Sharpe and Fowler, forwards, and
Twining and Cole guards. Ned Fowler
held down a guard position for Oregon
on the 1917 varsity quintet and his abil
ity is not underestimated by the Oregon
players.
Line-Up Not Yet Decided.
Coach Bolder has not given out a
line-up as yet but is putting the entire
squad through a stiff practice schedule
each evening. Some two hours of play
ing and basket shooting together with a
secret practice late in the evening lias
been the order so far this week.
“Hunk” Latham, who is battling for a
center position, appears to have the
edge on the pivot position, and his long
reach and basket shooting ability are
coupled up pretty well with the proper
amount of speed. It is possible that
“Hunk” may start at center against the
clubmen. Marc Latham who worked in
the center position last season has been
playing at forward during the last few
practice sessions, alternating with Knud
sen who is also making a strong bid for
a first string berth. Durno will in all
probability take care of one forward
position, but as to just who will work in
the other forward is yet a matter of
speculation. Bellar and Chapman, both
letter men of last season are working at
the guard positions and “Bill” Boinhart
is making a strong bid for a position at
guard.
Game a Practice One.
Houston, Base, Burnett, Couch and
Leslie are all working out nightly, Hous
ton played a good game in the doughnut
league this season while Base, Burnett
and Couch are all members of last year’s
frosh quintet.
The game with the dub quintet Satur
day will give Coach Bolder a good line or
the material which he will select his tean:
from to open against the Cougars at
Pullman on January 22, and it is not ex
pected that the varsity will be able tc
defeat the fast winged M. five.

Edison Marshall Offers Prizes
In Fifth Annual Short-Story
Contest For Oregon Students
Announcement of the opening of the
fifth annual Edison Marshall short story
contest was made last evening by Pro
fessor W; F. G. Tliachor, of the school'
of journalism. The contest, which is |
open to all regular students in the Uni- ■
versity, closes February 15, at which
time all manuscripts must have been!
handed in. ,
The details of the contest are under
the supervision of Professor Thacher.
The first prize offered is $15, second
prize, $10, and third prize an auto
graphed copy of Edison Marshall's lat-j
est novel. s
The short stories, which must be orig-1
inal, are judged upon the standards of
the class of stories printed by the bet-,
ter class of American magazines. For-'
mer prize winners in the contest arc
barred from competing, but winners of
second or third place may compete for
higher places than they won in previous
contests.
OREM DM IS
SLOW, SAYS Min
Warren Kays Disappointed in
Day’s Report.
Every student not wearing the trian
gular tag today will be bombarded from
all sides, according to "Warren Kays,
manager of the Oregana who is conduct
ing the drive which means the success of
the annual student publication.
‘‘The various houses are not coming
through as they should,” says Kays, “and
the success of the book depends greatly
upon the attitude maintained by the or
ganizations. We are adding 50 pages to
the size of the book this year, and with
the present high prices, this means an
enormous cost. The hardest part is to
reach the students outside of campus or
ganizations. If every student will do
his part the book will not prove a bur
den to the A. S. U. O. Everyone must
come across and help put the drive over.”
Speeches will be made at assembly this
morning, and it is specially asked that
each student come to the campus today
prepared to exchange three dollars for
an Oregana receipt. Checks will be ac
cepted if made payable to the 1921
Oregana.
Organizations have not yet, turned in
official reports, and the committee is un
able to give the number of subscriptions
received. Lois Hall is lending in the
number of subscriptions turned in hi" an
individual, though an actual count has
not yet been made. A complete check
will be made this evening, and a full re
port will be printed in Friday's Emerald.
DRILL HOURS CUT TO 2
Machine Gun and Rifle Practice Open to
Lower Classmen.
'Throughout the coming term the hours
of drill will be changed from th/ec to two
a week. This change lias been made in
order to permit instruction in the use of
the machine gune and the automatic
rifle. The drill periods will be held at
11 o’clock on Mondays and Thursdays
while instruction on the machine gun and
automatic rifle will be held at different
times throughout the week and each
cadet is requested to supply the com
mandant with a list of his vaeant periods.
Instruction on the machine gun is re
stricted to sophomores and the auto
matic rifle to freshmen. No special i n
structors have been appointed for these
subjects. In the spring term machine
gun and automatic irfle companies will
be formed for practical field work.
Fictitious names ‘ace sigued to nil
manuscripts which arc entered in the
contest, and the real names of the auth
ors turned in separately.
Edison ’Marshall, who is perhaps one
of the state’s best and highest paid
writers, has offered prizes in the con
test for the past, five years to stimulate
interest, in collegiate literary activity.
Marshall was one of the charter mem
bers of Ye Tabard Inn of Sigma Upsi
lon, and has always been intensely in
terested in the literary and journalistic
work of the students at Oregon.
Judges for the contest have not yet
been selected, according to Professor
Thachcr.
In the contest last year the first prize
was won by Laura Moates, then a junior
honor student in the department of rhe
toric. Second prize was won by James
L. Almaek, and honorable mention by
Irene Stewart.
WTHIL EDUCATION
Faculty Rejects Other Bills
at Colloquium.
Creation of a department of education
with a secretary in the presidential eab
inct was favored by the faculty at the
first colloquium of the winter term, held
Tuesday night in Pr. Gilbert’s room. A
faculty vote on this general question and
also on some more specific phases of na
tional educational policy was asked by
the American Council on Education.
The dollar for dollar system of fed
eral aid for state schools was not en
dorsed and the supervision of education
was endorsed only conditionally. The
Smith-Towner and Kenyon bills failed
to meet the approval of the faculty.
The rejection of these measures w*as
due to a general opinion among the fac
ulty members that any such legislation at
the present time is in a raw and unfin
ished form, and although they believe
that the principle is right they do not be
lieve that such action could be taken at
the present time without runniug the risk
of wasted money and other faults. The
question should be thoroughly investigat
ed, in their opinion, and any legislation
should be based on definite findings.
Dr. If. B. Torre,v spoke on the honor
system in vogue at the University of
California, and Professor V. It. McDou
gle told of the system at the University
of Illinois. President Campbell was
scheduled to speak on student self-gov
ernment but he was delayed several
hours by washouts on his way from
Salem and was unable to be present.
COLE’S PLACE VACANT
Or. Shinn Seeks New Instructor for
Chomistry Department.
The vacancy which occurred in the
chemistry department this term, when
I>r. Howard I. Cole, who has been an in
structor in the department since the fall
,of 1915), went to Manila ns an organic
research chemist, has not yet been filled,
according to Hr. F. L. Shinn.
An application lias been received from
Werner W. Duerekc, who is a graduate
of the University of Wisconsin and re
sides at Kiel. Wisconsin. Dr. Shinn
said he wired Mr. Duereker to come and
is expecting his answer today. As the
position is not permanent. Dr. Shinn
thinks it possible that 'Mr. Duereker will
not come, in which case, he will take
charge of the lectures and William K
Skidmore, who has been assisting in the
chemistry laboratory, will discontinue
part of his studies and take charge of the
l laboratory work.
