Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE*, OREGON, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 5, 1921. NO. 74. f , I VARSITY WINS FROM O.A.C. FIVE 30-29 11. C. ROOKS TIKE ill GAME FROM FBDSH TOSSERS 21-9 Babes Outclassed by Corvallis First-Year Five After Hard Fight. hjelte, rangy aggie CENTER STAR OF GAME Buns Up Total of 15 Points for Team; Oregon Guards , Work Well. The O. A. O. Rooks proved to be too much for the Frosh basketeers yesterday afternoon, and the first year men took a 21 to 9 defeat, in the first of a two game series to be played here. The Frosh were outclassed from the start, but kept, up a game fight throughout the contest. The game was fast, and the score is a poor indication of the fight shown by the frosh. During the last half, the frosh were unable to annex a single field goal, their lone tatty being made on a converted foul. At the beginning of the first half, the frosh looked as though they would be able to give the Aggies a hard run. but after the Rooks hit their stride, they held their lead throughout the game. The first half ended 12 to 8 in favor of the Rooks, the game being all in favor of the Corvallis^ contingent during the second canto. - Inability to convert fouls was one of the faults of the freshmen. Allstoek con verted only one counter out of the sev eral fouls called on the O. A. O. babes, while Hjelte rarely missed a chance to hook a free throw. The Rooks started oflrtt by annexing the first point on a free throw’. Hjelte, the Rook captain and center, making the free throw good. The Frosh came back and jumped into the lead when Francis Altstock scored a field basket. Hjelte converted two more fouls, and Altstock made another field basket. Oregon held the lead for a few minutes, and then the rangy Rook center began to chalk up scores regularly and O. A. C. held their position from that time on. lu tue second half Oregon was never close enough to the Kooks to cause them much worry. The 0.*A. C. quintet piled iqi eight jioints, while the Oregon babes i ere only able to annex one. Iljelte was the star of the game. He j\vas working all the time and was big’ll P'iut man for the Aggies His heighth gii'e him the advantage of the tip off, and the Rooks were able to gain consid erable advantage from this fact. He played the floor well, and his size made it easy for him to guard the smaller Oregon men. He did most of the point getting for his team, seoring four field baskets and converting seven free throws out of eleven attempts, a total of fifteen points. The guard combination of Chapman and Douglas played very good ball for Oregon. It was the work <of this pair that held the Rooks score down as low as it was. Neither one of the men slacked up during the entire game and between them they kept the O. A. C forward combination to only six points McMillan played the best game that hr has played this year. He follower Hjelte all the time, and prevented thr Rook man from scoring many times. Hi was unable to get the tip off but wai on his man all the time. He scored om field basket. Rockhey and Altstoci both had an off day. They both workei hard but could not get free. Rockhe; luok many shots at the basket that hov ererl on the edge, but dropped outside Altstock scored seven points, and ban luck kept a number of his shots fron dropping. The principal trouble fo both was the fact that neither passe well. They took long shots when passe might have meant a score. Oregon only made one substitution dui ing the entire game. That was in tb last half when Blackman was sent i for McMillan. O’. A. C. sent in Cran ,r|r Garrity at the start of the secon half, and later sent in Ryan for Cran iaggert was substituted for Richards i tbe last period also. (Continued on Page 3.) FRESHMEN ENTERTAIN ENJOYABLY AT DANCE Armory Effectively Decorated For Glee; Balloons Used As Feature. One of the most enjoyable dances of the year was given by the freshman class last, night in (he Armory, which was effectively decorated for the occa sion. A most brilliant part of the evening entertainment was the feature which was elaborate and unusual. A cleverly executed balloon dance was given by Verna Shiite of Hendricks hall. As this was ended the lights were lowered, and as the orchestra played a slow waltz, balloons of many colors were wated as if by magic from above over the heads of the dancers. Kewpies were attached to the balloons, which were distributed among the girls as (souvenirs. Dainty programs printed in gold and tied with purple ribbon revealed to those present the order of the dances, which was: step, fot trot, waltz, step, fox trot, fox trot, step, feature waltz, fox trot, step, waltz, fox trot, step, waltz. Music was furnished by a 10-piece orchestra, which played until 11:30. Punch was served throughout the even ing to the danogrs. 799 SEEK EDIKM BE CORRESPONDENCE 129 Enroll in January, Young and Old Register. The University extension division re ports 129 registrations in correspondence j courses during the month of January, 1921, as the highest record yet reached for a single month." These 129 course registrations represent 113 students,,who come from 81 towns and 32 counties in Oregon. The counties having the larg est number of registrations are Douglas. Umatilla, Clackamas, Washington, Lane and Multnomah. The registrations for January bring the total number of reg istrations in correspondence courses to 799. Education courses are the most popu lar with the January students, there be iug 45 registrations. English comes next with :<0 registrations, mathematics with 15; literature with 13; and the remainder scattered among drawing, eco nomics, history, physics, physiology and psychology. Hie correspondence students range in age from the high school student to men and women well past middle life. Their 1 occupations and interests are as varied as their ages, for they are teaching, preaching, farming, herding sheep, tak ing care of homes and raising children, serving as clerks, stenographers, 'engi neers. and doing the many other things that make up the life of Oregon com munities. But they are united in their one ambition to get the education that circumstances have made impossible for them ' to get in regular school classes. Their desire to get through correspond ence courses what they have missed in other ways is illustrated by the follow ing letter received by the extension division from a student who is 'doing splendid work in English. “I am in my 70th year. I have had to work hard all my life and couldn’t get an education. Now I’m having my chance. I’m a fruit, grower. 1 have i had ten children, seven of them are liv ■ ing. Three are still in army service, ; but when they come home they will by 1 in the Agricultural College and the Uni r versify.” The extension student may register . at any time and continue the work as 1 fast as time will permit. The eorre i spondence student uses his spare time r for study; he does not let it interfere I in any way with his regular duties, but s prepares himself for greater proficiency ih his chosen field. e u e d n LEGISLATOR VISITS ON CAMPUS. P. J. Gallagher, member of the state legislature from Ontario, will be on the campus this week-end as a guest of Pro fessor Harl B. Douglass of the school of education and Mrs. Douglass. Mrs Gallagher arrived from Salem last Wed nesday to make a brief visit with Profes sor and Mrs. Douglass. SUMMER MTU TO BE LENGTHENED BY WEEK THIS YEAR But Time Will Be Made Up By Cutting Into Periods of Other Holidays. THANKSGIVING REST REDUCED TO ONE DAY Faculty Also Adopts Plan for Full Seven Year Course In Medicine. An extra week of summer vacation was granted and one day was taken from the Thanksgiving and four from the Christmas vacation in the schedule for the fall term of the year 1921-22, which was adopted by the faculty at. its regular monthly meeting Thursday afternoon. Under the new schedule the term will be gin Monday, October 3, and will close December 23L the Thursday before Christmas. The Friday after Thanks giving will not be a holiday and as a re sult it will be impossible for a great ma jority of the students to go home for that eye lit. More value can be received from an additional week in the summer by a stu dent who works than from the extra days at the Thanksgiving and Christmas periods, said Carlton Spencer, Univer sity registrar, in explanation of this action. He further stated that the Thanksgiving vacation always broke in to the work of the term, as a great many students did not return to the University until a number of days after the vacation. Medical Course Approved. An outline of the proposed seven year medical course was also presented,’ and was approved by the faculty. This system provides for a three year course at the University, and then a four year course at the medical school in Portland. This will do away with the two year medical requirement at the Uni versity. It will also place Oregon’s medical course among the highest, as there is only one other school in the country to require more, Johns Hopkins University. Btuacnts in tne scnooi or education who are preparing to teach science in high school will be granted the professional degree of Bachelor of Science in education, in the future, ac cording to the decision of the faculty. In order to fulfill the requirements for this degree they will have to take some work in education, mathematics, and four or five different sciences, but the regular 86 hours will not be required in any cue department. Ta Investigate Registration. The faculty was asked to appoint a committee to consider the probability of having a system of registration for the whole year. This would enable the stu dent to register for all three terms at the beginning of the first. If this course is found practicable it will save a great i deal of time and energy on the part of both the student and the instructor. The chairman of the committee rep resenting the faculty colloquium gave notice that at the next faculty meeting a motion would be made to refuse grad uation to a student unless 140 of the 186 hours required for graduation are above the grade of 5. fwo petitions were denied by the fac ulty. The first was from a student who asked to be allowed to go through the form of graduating next .Tune, al though this student lacked 6 hours of the required number to graduate. The other petition asked that the student be al lowed to finish up his correspondence work while attending the University. CARLISLE ARTICLE PRINTED. Dr. Chester L. Carlisle, of the United States public health service, who direct ed the stafewide survey of delinquency, dependency and mental defect, for the state of Oregon, has an article in the January imbiber of the Elementary School Journal, published by the faculty of the school of education of the Uni versity of Chicago, entitled “A Survey of Conduct in Community and School.” The Oregon state survey has had nation wide attention as a unique contribution to community welfare work. Geologists Plan Three Weeks' Summer Camp Near Medford For Parly of Twelve Students A summer camp for geology students, offering opportunity for field work in new territory, is amiouneed by the de partment of geology ns n feature of the University summer sehool, to open June 20. , Preliminary plans for the eamp, which is to duplicate that of last year, are be ing made by Dr. E. L. Packard, head of the department of geology. The camp, which will be held during the first three weeks of summer school, ending July 0, will be set up some distance south of the one last year, which was established near Raygold, a few miles north of Med ford. Five hours University credit will be allowed the members of the party. The vicinity selected, according to Pro fessor Packard, affords exceptional op portunities for geological survey work, as there are, within a comparatively small area, numerous kinds of forma tions. Last year the party, which consisted of seven students headed by professors of the geology department, mapped ap proximately 15 square miles of territory in the Medford quadrangle in the vicinity of Raygold. The maps, which show gen eral characteristics of the country, in cluding contours, were made with plane tables. The different formations are entered upon the map, so that it pre sents the result of a comprehensive 'study of the district. The country, according to Professor Packard, is rich in scenic and historic as well as geological interest. The students last year took particular interest in a section of table Jand, to the northeast, of the .portion of the country in which they were working. Tt was at. this place, ac cording to riic stories, that the Indians made their last stand in this part of the state, against the white men. On this mesa, ending on the south in a cliff of some 150 foot drop, the red men were surrounded and put up their last, heroic battle. In order to gain an idea of the gen eral geology of the country in which they were working, the students last year made a trip to Crater Lake. With the same purpose in view, this year, the party will spend the last few days of the trip visiting the Oregon caves, widely kuown for their scenic interest. The camp, which will be established some distance south of Raygold, will conduct, its operations to the south of the portion which was mapped last year. The result of the two years work will be put together, and this progress con tinued year after year, until a compre hensive study of the country has been made. The method used by the geology department is the same as if the party were sent; out by a commercial concern, to study th formations, history, origin, and age wof the district, and determine whether or not any economic products exist beneath the surface of the ground. One portion of the country covered last year was actually under development for oii. The camp is open only to more ad vanced students of geology, who have completed certain requirements made by the department. The party is to be headed by Professor Packard, and the personnel will be limited to approxi-4 nately 12, according to the present plans. FIRST CONTEST WON BY HENDRICKS HALT Theta Team. Defeated 12 to 4 In Basketball Game. I-Iendricks liall won the first game of tlio doughnut girls basketball series Thursday evening by defeating the Kap pa Alpha Theta team 12 to 4. The dex trous team-work of Lyuefta and Vern etta Quinlan, forwards for Hendricks, ran up their score, while “Boom” Cannon easily starred for the Thetas, playing at guard, but changing to forward long enough to make the first basket for her team. The game was fast and the ball was not held by either te|m to any great extent, the Thetas losing several good chances at the basket. The line-up was as follows: Hendricks Hall. Thetas. Lynetta Quinlan.... F. . Catherine Bain Veruetta Quinlan_F.Stur Norton Agnes Christie.C . .Carolyn Cannon Helen King.C . Elizabeth Torrey Ruth Wolff.G .". ..Jessie Lewis Emily I’erry.G. .Dorothy Maguire This is the first year doughnut bas ketball contests have been held for the women’s houses. Thus far, Kappa Al pha Theta, Hendricks hall, Oregon club, Gamma Phi Beta, Pi Beta Phi, Zeta Rho Epsilon, Thacher Cottage, and Alpha Phi have signified their intention of enter ing teams, and a schedule of all the games will soon be arranged. The games are to be played in the outdoor gymnasium, since the baskets have not come for the indoor floor as yet. Miss Emma Waterman is coaching the teams and refereed the Hendricks Hall-Theta game. A trophy will be awarded to the winning team by the Women’s Athletic Association. CHAPERONS SCARCE AT IOWA. It is almost impossible to obtain chap erons at university affairs at the Uni versity of Iowa, because they cannot countenance the mode of dancing and be cause they do not like to reprimand the couples on the floor. PLEDGING ANNOUNCED. Alpha Phi annohnces the pledging ol Della Deich of Portland. STUDENT BODY PUT TRYOUT TO BE SUilY “Arizona,” Melodrama To Be Put on in March. Tryouts for the part of Bonita Canby, leading lady in “Arizona,” a melodrama by Augustus Thomas, will be held in the W W. C. A. Sunday at 4:30 p. m. The play will be given sometime in March as a student body production, under the direction of Mask and Buskin. It is de sired that all women on the campus who have had any experience iu the stage attend the tryout. The student body play is an inovation on the campus. Many have long felt the need of such an activity separate from the work of the public speaking department and this play comes as the initial move iu response to this demand. Direction of the play will be iu the hands of Bob Earle, who has had a great deal of experience, having played all over the northwest in Chautauqua and in stock companies in Washington. He is anxious to get in touch with all inter ested in the .play. “Arizona” is without, doubt one of the best melodramas on the stage today. The story is laid at the ranch of a success ful cattleman near a frontier fort. Much soldier life of the lSWs is depicted with many harrowing scenes tense with ac tion. UKRAIN WANTS SCHOOL Nation, Near Russia, Asks About Oregon With Idea of Starting University. 1 The new nation of Ukrainiu, located oil ‘the southwestern border of Russia wants to know ubout the University ot Oregon with the view of establishing similar institutions in Ukraiuia. The request for information came from the Ukrainian Diplomatic Mission at Washington, D. C., but is originally from the Ministry of Education of the Ukraniau peoples republic. Copies ol the constitution and by-laws and othei data pertaining to the conduct of the University were among the things de sired.
