Season; Faster Than
Previous Night.
Washington State College, Pullman,
Wash., Jan. 26. — (Special to the Emer

shooting at will, combined with the poor
teamwork of the Washington State Col
lege quintet gave Oregon the long end of
tonight’s score of 33 to 18 in the second
gtme of the series played here. Durno
ran up a total of 23 counters, convert
ing 11 out of 16 tries for fouls, and
making 6 field goal's.
The Cougars were weak on passing
and teamwork, although they showed
more fight than in last night’s game. The
game was much the faster of the two
played here, and interest was at top pitch
all through the game. The winners play
ed the prettiest floor work seen here
this, season.
W. S. C. never had a chance after the
first few minutes. Oregon jumped into
the lead early in the game and held it.
The first half ended 17 to 8 in favor of
the visitors.
Coach “Doc” Bohler used three sub
stitutes during the course of the game in
an effort to stem the tide. Many fouls
were called, Durno and Mclvor each
having four personals chalked up against
them.
The Oregon quintet leaves here for
Seattle where they play a two-game se

REAL JAPANESE GARDEN
l IS POUND ON CAMPUS
Waving Bamboo Trees and Oriental
Flowers Make Setting
Complete.
A real Japanese garden on the eam
pus!—yes there is, aud there are those !
who have seen it! There are waving
bamboo trees and tall white lilies in full
bloom; there are wisterias whose buds
are bursting purple and a whole forest
of Japanese pines; and to be sure that
everything is complete there are crypto
marias too!
A sleeping lion guards the shrine that
overlooks the green terraced rice fields.
The rocky little stream that has fine
pools for fishing comes rippling from the
hill. And on the very tip-top of this
hill is the tea house—no, it isn’t a new
“tip-top itm” where you can get that
afternoon lunch; for no University folk
go there. The lady %iat strolls on the
hill has a parasol, her neighbor washes
clothes in the stream, wears a kimona
and the only one who knows the pools
is a Japanese fisherman. And what if
they are only an inch tall,—they just
fit the rest of the garden, which is very
charming even if the basket in which
it rests is only eighteen inches long.
The honor of designing this lovely bit
of landscape, which adorns a table in
Mary Spiller hall belongs to Miss Lillian
Tingle, professor of home economics,
but it is said that her small nephew, Al
fred ’Tingle, shares honors for much of
the, workS such as finding the brick for
the hill, planting the wheat seeds that
grew into such fine bamboo trees and
digging up the weeds from the window
box that make some of the foliage.
It is rumored that yet this year there
may be other gardens some of the Ha
waiian Islands and the beach at Wai
kiki.
ASSEMBLY TO BE GIVEN

Aid for European College Students Pur
pose of Drive; Speakers
to Present Facts.
The student council has arranged for
a special Student Body Assembly today
in order to make an appeal to the stu
dents for aid in the American Relief

European institutions. Herbert Hoover
is at the head of the movement in the
United States.
Stunts will be given in front of Villard
hall iust before assembly, and the R. O.
T. C. band will play. Also the men’s
Glee Club has promised to furnish spe
cial music for the assembly.
Dr. Harry Beal Torrey of the zoology
department, will present the facts con
cerning the administration drive an? Dr.
H. D. Sheldon, dean of the education
department is going to cite instances of
the great need”that prevails in the Euro
pean countries among the college stu
dents.
The committee in charge of this as
sembly, appointed by Carlton Savage,
includes: Chairman, Norton TVinnard,
Lyle Bartholomew, Roy Yeatch, Vivian
Chandler, Ruth Flegal, and Lyle Bry
son.
Count Ilya Tolstoi Depicts
Terrible Conditions in Russia
Russia, in the throes of bolshevism, is
suffering under a regime of despotism,
worse in its cruelties and more terrible
in its scope than even the reign of the
Tsars themselves.
Thus Count Ilya Tolstoi, son of the il
lustrious Count Leo Nicholiavitch Tol
stoi described the condition of Russia
last night at a meeting of the University
forum in Villard hall. His broad shoul
ders slightly bent, and with an earnest
, ^ upon his face, Count Tolstoi told,
*ith simple eloquence, of the pitiable
Plight of the world’s most gigantic na
tion. The trials of the peasants, the hun
ger of the people in the cities was pic
tured vividly by the man who had known
the country in times of peace, and saw it
torn today in the aftermath of a great
war.
Bolshevism Outgrowth of War.
Bolshevism, said Count Tolstoi, was
from a new kind of government. It
the outgrowth of the misery caused
g the war, and left Russia in a deplor
* e ®tate of despotism — deplorable
ocause of the fact that each petty bu
reaucrat is today a practical despot,
where under the Tsars, there was but
one despot, the Tsar himself.
The peasants have returned to primi
ive methods of livelihood and cultivation
0 the soil, explained the count. V'ith a
Pathetic gesture he made the simple
Statement that the greatest occupation
of the men and women in the cities was
the hunting for food — not with money,
which availed nothing — hut an actual
search for nourishment. Thj price of
bread at equivalent to $300 a pound was
cited as a strikingly characteristic ex
ample of the condition with which the
modem Russia is forced to contend.
Christianity is fi9Rie.iy.
“There is a remedy,” said the Count.
He cited the philosophical theories of i.is
illustrious father when he propounded
the solution of the problem as within
the scope of food, civil aid, and educa
tion. “It is impossible to fight bolshev^
ism with violence,” he said. “Bolshevism
is the child of violence itself, and but for
this same violence on which it was
nurtured, would have died three years
lago.”
Proper application of the spirit of.
real Christianity would solve this prob
lem as well as all other world problems.
This the count advanced as the thought
of his father, who had reached this con
clusion after devoting years of his life
to philosophical and theological study.
Count Leo Tolstoi’s 50th year, ex
plained his son, was beset by doubts that
at one period or other arise in the mind
of the thinking man. Was there really

Cut System Installed Last
Term Has Worked Well,
Say Heads of Departments
With the second term of the present
school year well under way, the Univer
sity has had an ample opportunity to
give a fair trial to the new “cut sys
tem” which was put in operation at the
beginning of the last fall term. This
system, which as cut systems go, is an
innovation, and, according to Colin V.
Dyment, dean of the college of liberal
arts, has worked out well. Officially,
the method now in use does not resemble
the time honored “cut system.” This
does not mean, however, that a student
can attend classes or not, ns he desires.
In fact, the high standard to realize
that it is absolutely impossible to cut
classes and yet be able to pass exams
at the end of the term.
Heads of departments have agreed
that the instructors shall handle the
cases of excessive absences individually.
Each instructor determines for him
self what influence absences will have on
grades at the end of the term.
Dean Dyment has had no personal
trouble with excessive cutting and has
had no complaints thus far from instruct
ors in his department. In his opinion
the present system is working out very
well indeed.
The law -department, says Dean Hale,
has not worked out a definite policy like
that of the commerce department. The
instructors keep in pretty close touch
with the students and if there is any
thing unsatisfactory about their work in
any way, the instructor endeavors to fix
it up by a personal interview. In the
eases of excessive absences with no ap
parent cause which cannot be reached by
the personal interview method, notice
is sent to the registrar in the regular
manner. lTp to date, however, absences
in the law department have been com
paratively few and it has not been neces
sary to appeal to the administration.
The commerce department has laid
down a set of rigorous rules. In a three
hour course, two unexcused absences
mean the first post, three, the second
post, and four, failure. Three unex
cused absences mean the first post in a
four hour course, four mean the second
post, and five, failure. Pour unexcused
absences mean the first post in a five
hour course, five mean the second post,
and six menn failure. Any unexcused
absence means substantial decreases in
the final grade of the student.
A new ruling in the men’s gym de
partment states that a post is s#it in
for four absences, and six absences
means failure in The course.
In the advanced courses in psychology,
according to Dr. Conklin, the scholar
ship is very good, and little trouble is
experienced with the students cutting.
Instructors in the psychology depart
ment deal individually with absences, as
in other departments throughout the
University. Dr. Wheeler has worked out
the following plan in elementary classes:

Dr. Belaunde Tells of Products
and Industries.
Economic conditions in Peru formed
the' basis of a talk given this afternoon
at the Y ,M. C. A. hut by Dr. Victor
Andres Belaunde, Professor of interna
tional law and political science at the
University of San Marcos, Lima, Peru.
Dr. Belaunde told of the products, in
dustries and financial conditions of his
country. The natural resources of Peru
are varied, being a land of contrasts Dr.
Belaunde explained, in giving reasons for
its prosperity.
The economic history of Peru was di
vided into four eras or epochs by the
speuker. He gave these as the Inca
period, when the natives tilled the soil;
the colonial period, under the Spanish
government; the eve of ‘independence;
and the war of the Pacific. He told pf
the different methods of farming and
the economic bearing each has had upon
the country.
Sugar forms the principal product in
agriculture, according to Dr. Delaunde.
This year $40,000,000 wolfth of the pro
duct was grown. Other agricultural pro
ducts vary from the cotton of the low
lands to the grains of the table' lands. In
the temperate valleys, alfalfa, maize,,
wheat and barley are grown to advan
tage. In the lower valleys sugar care,
coffee, cocoa and cotton form the prin
cipal products. On the higher table
lands potatoes and grass are the prin
cipal crojis.
The mines of Peru, found in the region
of the Andes are profitable. Foreign
ers are allowed the same privileges as
natives in mining. Silver, gold, vanad
ium and many other minerals are found
in abundance.
Hide and wool exports form one of
the principal sources of national wealth
The export of hides reached a total of
$3,120,000 sin 1019. Wool export
reached a total of $13,520,000.
The forests also yield their part to the
national wealth. In these forests are to
be found hard woods and rubber. The
rubber production, although falling off
in late years, has been one of the best
sources of revenue.
According to Dr. Belaunde, the most
favorable index of the country’s prosper
ity is its foreign commerce which has
grown in 20 years from $12,000,000 f
year to $200,000,000. Another index if
the condition of the banks, which he says
are in a most prosperous condition. The
national debt is but $35,000,000, or lest
than the income of the nation for one
year.
PLEDGING ANNOUNCED.
Kappa Theta Chi announces the
pledging of M. R. Crain of Portland.
Caesar Will Be “Crab” In
Comedy Tonight.
Caesar, Ivappa Sigma canine mascot,
has been selected for the part of “Crab1”
in “Two Gentlemen of Verona,” playing
tonight and Saturday afternoon and
evening. Fergus Reddie has been look
ing for some time for a suitable Shakes
pearean character to cast in this part,
and has finally announced the selection.
Caesar is to play opposite Professor
Reddie, who takes the purt of Launce
(j foolish servant. These two find time
in the course of the play to associate
with Claire Keeney as Speed, another
jokes! er, and between them they man
age to keep things quite lively.
The comedy is a love story with some
modern tendencies to the plot. One of
the gentlemen, Valentine, falls in love
with Silvia, whose father wishes to
marry her to Thurio, a foolish dandy.
Proteus, tlready betrothed to Julia,
likewise becomes enamored by Silvia and
doublecrosses his friends to gain her
hand. Julia finds that he is faithless by
acting as a messenger, disguised so that
Porteus does not recognize her. Before
the happy end comes many situations full
of bandits, disguised lovers and fool
ish servants carry the play along in
Shakespeare’s mirthful way.
While he wrote the play for fun
Shakespeare’s insight in human nature
gives it as much comedy in character
study of types as in the situations.
New scenery has been obtained for
the play, and with the superior costum
ing which has been arranged, its presen
tation promises to be very effective.
PRICE SUGGESTED US
COACH BY MEMBERS
OF COUNCIL IN SOUTH
Assistant California Mentor
Recommended by Tiffany
and Bovard.
DOBIE WIREsltEFUSAL
OF $8500 OFFER MADE
Definite Action Due Shortly,
Says Campbell; Meeting
Not Secret
A telegram received by Professor H.
C. Howe, president of the athletic coun
cil, early yesterday morning from. Dr.
John F. Bovard, head of the school of
physical education and A. R. Tiffany,
both members' of the council and with
Bill Reinhart members of the committee
named to investigate a new coach, who
are now on their way to Eugene from
Berkeley, stated that Gilmour Dobie had
refused to accept the offer of $8500
made him, and that the two members of
the committee recommended ‘'Nibs”
Price, at present assistant coach at Cal
ifornia, for head coach at Oregon.
“Nibs” Price has been assistant coach
at the University of California for two
years, and was formerly coach at San
Diego high school, where his team won
the California state interscholaatlc
championship. He is highly recommend
ed by both Bovard and Tiffany.
Definite action on the coach situation
will be taken in a few days, according to
President Campbell," ex-officio member of
the council. All the members of the
council are not in Eugene, and a meet
ing at present is impossible, according to
the president. The next meeting of
the council will not be held behind
closed doors, according to President
Campbell, but the students wilt have full
knowledge of the proceedings.
President Campbell was in Eugene
only yesterday, returning to Sflem last
night. Bovard, Walker and Tiffany are
their way to Eugene from Berkeley,
white Bill Hayward and David Graham
are out of town on business. Bill Rein
hart, student member of the council, ia
north with the basketball team.
The telegram received from the two
members of the council ip Berkeley sug
gested a meeting of the council im
mediately to take action on Price, so
that final arrangements could be made
while the members of the committee
were still in the south. Professor Howe,
who received the communication, said
that a hurried meeting was impossible.
The telegram received by Professor
Howe says in part: “Dobie wires, "Can
not Afford to Accept Offer’. Unanimous
opinion of faculty, students, players and
i citizens Price splendid coach and largely
responsible for team this year.
Would .likely be Smith’s successor if oc
casion arose.Can probably get him
for five or six thousand.” The wire
was signed “Tiffany and Bovard.”
] Since the proceedings of the athletic
council have been published, considerable
comment has been aroused on the cam
pus. Alumni and citizens are also in
terested, and much talk has been heard
both in favor of a new coach and for the
continuation of the present graduate sys
tem. The petition of the football men,
signed by twenty-two varsity and fresh:
men athletes, may bring forth a counter
attack by members of the two squads

Onions have beeu ordered off the

Almighty senior is stepping out!
Stepping! You said it Mabel! The

house at 7:30 Friday night, when the
infant procession congregates and wind?
up the street, with a brass band or two,
calling for seniors at every house, girls
and all. At the bungalow and hut town
seniors will fall in line.
From then on it’s easy sailing. No ad
mission. Just step in, grab your first
dance and camel walk, porpoise glide, (if
the dean isn’t looking) to the rhythmic
effects issuing from Lob Kelley’s color
ful crew of syncopaters.
When .Dorothy Wootton and her fel

Funny thing, there are 227 in the
senior roundup and only one can’t come
so far. Pretty good for a start! The
fact that school clothes are to be worn
by the elite — everyone in fact, may ac
count for this.
Stunts and all other side issues are to
be kept as dark as the graveyard

Woottou, but we saw roasted peanuts,
