Walkley, Sunderleaf, Hayslip, Ko.epp and Peltier Look Best in Distance. NEW FIELD TO BE DONE FOR CONFERENCE MEET Washington, 0. A. C. and Likely Multnomah To Be Met in Dual Contests. With but five letter men out for track in the tri-weekly workouts and with a heavy schedule in prospect Ore gon's chances for a successful season seem pretty slim. However the men are in the capable hands of Bill Hayward, vyko has worked wonders with the Lem on-fellow squads before, and who is ably assisted by Hank Foster, ’20. Hank as every one knows burned up the con ference cinder paths for three years, under varsity colors. As yet the new track on Hayward field is not completed, there being a de lay in securing materials. Volcanic ash may be used in the place of cinders, in the event that cinifers cannot be secured. The date for the new track’s completion is not definite, but it will undoubtedly be finished in time for the Pacific coast conference meet to be held here in Honors Predicted for Runner. Of the five letter men who are out Glen Walkley is by far the surest bet, he is a stepper in his event, the two mile; Hank Foster predicts coast honors for the rangy Eugene lad.. Sundeleaf and Hayslip are two mid dle distance men who wear the lemon “0” and are consistent performers in their events, while Don Portwood and Si Starr are out for the pole vault. Dot is a broad pumper of ability as well. Last year’s freshman squad contrib utes some valuable material to this year’s varsity. Art Larson and Del Obcrteuf fer are out for the sprints and both of these boys had the stuff last year. Col lins. who ran the quarter for the frosh should do it this year under 50 seconds, which ought to mean some points against most of them; Gdy Koepp brought home the bacon in the mile while wearing frosh colors last year, and should repeat for the varsity: “Speed” Peltier is a good man in the half, and then of course there is Art Tuck. Art has had a lot of hard luck in the last tear and spent a lot of time in the hos pital. but Bill may be able to round and pound him into shape, and when Art’s right lie’s one of the best on the coast in nearly any event though the discus and javelin were his long suits last year. Meets Are Arranged. Roscoe Hemenway ahd “Scotty” Strachan are men of varsity caliber who will have a chance to show their mettle this year. Hemenway is jfiod in the sprints, especially the 220. while Scotty • works in the weights. So far dual meets have been arranged with O. A. C. and the University of Washington. O. A. C. at Eugene and the Sun Dodgers in Seattle, probably there will be a dual meet with Multnomah to he staged either here or in Portland. Then there are the two big conference moots, the Pacific Coast in Eugene and the Northwest at Pullman. OREGANA STAFF FILLED Hascltine Schmeer to Help on Sports; Work Moving Fast. Ntaft' appointments on the Oregana have been completed with the naming of Hascltine Selimeer who will work on the athletic staff. ‘'The work of getting out the Ore gami is coming along splendidly,” said tlanna McKinney, editor for 1921, “and j there is no doubt that the ^>ook will be j out according to schedule during Junior j week-end. A few" of the departments j have already completed their part of the hook, and others have their work almost done.

I think that Mr. Altliouse sings as well as Caruso,” said Madame Rose MeGrew, head of the voice department of the 1 Diversity school of music when asked her opinion of the rumor that Paul Altliouse, Metropolitan tenor, who will appear in concert in Villard hall on Thursday evening, would be chosen to take some of the big Caruso roles in Metropolitan opera, as soon as his con cert tour is completed. “Of course. Mr. Altliouse is younger and has not had as much experience nor so great a reputation as Caruso, but I think his voice is as good.” “His voice is large and rich and mel low and at the same time soft.” con tinued Madame McGrow. “He takes the high notes with the same ease as the low ones. Some have likened his voice to that of John McCormack, but their voices are different. Mr. McCormack is just a singer of songs. Mr. Althouse’s voice is more cultivated. He is an opera singer.” Appeals to Young People. The great tenor has a strong appeal for young people, according to the Madame. That and the . fact that he is such a great singer, she said, were the reasons that she did all she could to get him here. His singing is wonderful. Another thing that should appeal to the young people, she said, as she looked over the program he is to give, is that he is bringing fresh songs. Most of the songs on the program are new. The singer is not bringing a lot of old stuff. The “Celeste Aida.” section of the program, he sings wonderfully well, she said. Mr. Althouse’s personality is delight ful. Madame MeGrew continued. He is perfectly at ease from the moment he comes upon the stage. T.Ie. just seems to beam upon the audience. And as he beams, he gathers them all to him. They are liis almost immediately. Mr. Altliouse is assisted at the piano by Rudfilph Gruen. Tickets may be obtained from mem bers of tile committee, flic school of music, the Co-op. and Kuykendall’s Drug Store, according to Glen Morrow, sales chief for the council. Scats may be reserved at the two places last men tioned. TO-EO-LO TO GIVE DANOE Annual Formal Affair to be Friday Night in Eagle Hall.

SPIRIT OF STUDENTS IN WORK IS PRAISED Undergraduate Training Here Ranked With Eastern Universities. Henry II. Kendall, of Boston, president of the American Institute of Architec ture and Robert II. Kohn, of New York, a director of the national board of the institute, two of the most widely known architects in the country, were visitors upon the campus yesterday. Visiting the school of architecture here as a part of their nation-wide inspection tour to similar institutions, they brought with them a valuable concept of the pro gress in this line throughout the coun try. The work done in preparing stu dents for the architectural profession by the Oregon school was examined, and highly commended by the visitors. Mr. Kendall and Mr. Kohn were accompanied by their wives. The work done in the various depart ments of the school of architecture was cn exhibition during the afternoon. In speaking of his impression of the school here. Mr. Kohn said: “You have an admirable architectural school. I am quite surprised, as I had no idea that matters had been so well developed. The interest of the students in it, as well as the work done in the decoration and sculptor classs, is something that I did not know any western coast college was doirg. The work done here is better than that carried on in the universities of the East, like Columbia and Penn sylvania. when I myself was a student there. The undergraduate work is equal to undergraduate work done in the East today. Western universities seem to tackle this work in a new spirit.” Tour Conducted. The, other guests, who accompanied them yesterday from Portland were Mr. and Mrs. William Purcell, Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Holford and Mr. and Mrs. George Reed. These are all promient archi tects. and Mr. Purcell is -president of the Oregon chapter of the American In stitute of Architects. The two national officers of the or ganization are conducting a tour of in spection of the western chapters. In speaking of the purpose of the trip, Mr. Kohn said: “This is a part of a general trip around the country to visit archi tectural societies and schools, in order to find out what they are doing, and to tel! them what other schools are doing. The Institute of Architects is a body composed of the principle architects of the country, who have much interest in the students who are to be the followers^ of this profession in the future. I real ize that unless students get the right im pression now of their obligations as pro fessional people some time in the future, they will not be able to serve society in the fine sense of th word.” Luncheon Held. The guests arrived on the 12:25 train, and at 1 o’clock Dean E. F. Lawrence (Continued on Page 3.)

Foster-Child Fantasy Causes Investigation by Dr. Conklin; Definite Theories Formulated ’rsrv Have you ever thought, that your fath er and mother were not your real par ents? It is a common feeling under gone during childhood, and is the ex perience of 25 per cent of 904 students both in aud out of the University in the state of Oregon, tested by Dr. Ed mund S. Conklin, head of the psychology department, in his study of the foster child fantasy. The tests made of Ore gon boys and girls brings to light many interesting psychological features of this prevalent fantasy. ^ Girls are more likely to hold this be lief than are boys, according to figures tabulated from questionnaires sent out by Dr. Conklin to high school students and under-class men in the University. Preliminary experimentation and in quiry revealed that some persons could recall definitely having experience with the fantasy, but merely as a day dream, while others actually had believeo'them selves foster-children. For this reason the question. “Was it merely a day dream or did you believe it to be true?” was asked to bring out the frequency of the two groups, but. it did rather more than was expected. Many Children Believe Fantasy. The results of this question were classified as follows: Belief—Male 17, female 54, total 71, or 25.4 per cent. Day dream — Male 58, female 101. total 159. Casual thought—Mole 12. female 15, total 27 . , Out of 258 boys and girls who be- i Moved in the fantasy 87 were made and 171 female. 1 Nearly all children conceive the notion that they are the children of much : greater parentage, maintain some psy- ; chologists, especially those of the Freu- i than school. If this fact is so, it asserts much influence upon the conduct of the children, says Dr. Conklin. Three Stages Are Discovered. Three stages of the fantasy were dis covered by Dr. Conklin—believing them selves to be poor orphans or foundlings, 15 per cent: development of ideas of greatness, 18 per cent; while in 54 per cent of the cases the idea did not take a definite form. The greatest cause of the child fan tasy is suggestion. Forty-five per cent af the children held this belief because af books, stories, etc., and the hearing and seeing of actual instances of foster parentage. Mistreatment, actual or supposed, of rhe boy or girl, is the second most com non cause. Harshness, partiality, tensing, fault ’hiding .inconsistent treatment, desire for iffection, lack of respect for parent caused 25 per cent to think that their larents were not their real ..fathers and mothers. How does the child act when under :his delusion? Conspicuous alienation :rom the parents is the most common 'ffect. The seeking of profound medita ive thought might be considered as a huge prelh.iin.ary to the alienation in the lully developed phenomenon; so also the lepressing emotional experiences under tone. Survey Develops New Data. This survey has brought to light 'auses and developments of the foster ■liild fantasy not revealed by other scientific researches along this line. The )04 school children considered in Dr. ’onklin’s survey attended school in the ’ollowing cities: Baker, Eugene, Mc llinnville, Roseburg, Klamath Falls, La 3rande, Cottage Grove and Medford. Cover Is Feature; Drawn By Bernice Butler. A cover by Beruice Butler, and a frontispiece by Wilbur Hulin are two of tlie features of the Formal number of Lemon Punch which will be distributed to subscribers the latter part of this week. The magazine is now on the press, and only a few days work is required until the magazine is ready for the per usal of its readers. An unusually large number of con tributors are listed for , this number, among them being Paul Farrington, ex ’21; Bill Bolger, ex-’23, and Ernest Crockatt, ex-’21, all of whom have been identified with humorous work on the campus in past years. Farrington was editor of the humorous section of last year’s Oregana. and his contributions for this number are well u$ to his standard of the past. Bolger, the originator of1 Bashful Bertram, who conducted a col umn in the Emerald last year, and Crockatt were both members of the staff of Lemon Punch last year when it was issued as a supplement to the Em erald. Farrington contributes some lively articles, among them “a handy dictionary for formal goers” and several other hu morous articles relative to the formal and its vices. Bolger and Crockatt (Continued on Page 3.) DROWNED IN MILL RACE D. Read, Aged 78, Was Resident of Lane County 30 Years. T).

Hendricks hall retains its undefeated position in tluf doughnut league basket ball series, through the defeat of Zeta Rho Epsilon 17 to (5, Monday evening. Oregon club won her first game by de feating Alpha Phi 24 to 11. Charlotte Howells, in spite of slightly injuring her finger in the first half of the game, won 22 of the total 24 points for Oregon club. Hie teams of shorter giris seeiped to have the advantage in the two games. Both winning teams were noticeably shorter than their opponents. However, Maudiue Elrod, Alpha Phi forward, suc ceeded in throwing several baskets over the heads of the Oregon club guards. The co-operation of the Quinlan twins, Hendricks hall forwards, supported by their well-organized team mates easily won from Zeta Rho Epsilon, who defeated Oregon club last Friday evening. Sev eral members of the teams are caring for minor injuries, such as bruised knees, black eyes, and stiff fingers as a result of the games. -Liu; nne-ups wore as follows: Alpha Phi. Oregon Club. C.

More than .‘500 students on probation at the University of Michigan took the psychological tests this year to deter mine their fitness to continue their courses. “What concern has the slo gan. ‘Eventually, Why Not Now?”’ “What is Peruna?" and “Who wrote Barrack Boom Ballads?” were some of the questions asked. AGGIE FIVE IS BEST TEAM MET THIS YEAH, sirs COACH B0HLEH No Easy Time Expected By Oregon Men on Friday and Saturday. U. OF W. WON’T PLAY LEMON-YELLOW HERE No Change in Either Line-up Is Expected for This Week’s Games. “The Aggies were the best aggrega tion we have been up against so far this season, and we are not taking any ehanoes on an easy time with them on our home floor,” Coach Bolder said last night, while discussing the two-game series between Oregon and the O. A. C. five to be played here on Friday and Saturday nights of this week. The team was given a rest Monday night and last night, a program which Coaeli Bolder believes in enforcing after a hard game. Active practive will be gin again tonight with a light workout scheduled for Thursday night, both practices to be held at the Armory. As the scores will indicate, the games at Corvallis were not sewed up by any means by either team before the final whistle blew, and indications are that the two games here will be as hard fought as any on the schedules. Victories Are Needed. Oregon needs these two games to give the Lemon-Yellow a chance at the Pa cific Coast conference title, the Univer sity of Washington five having cancelled their games here which were originally scheduled for February 25 aad 26. Coach Bolder was not very much pleased witii the action of the Washing ton five in refusing to keep their sche duled games here and eager for a chance at the Sun Dodgers on the home floor. Washington gave the reason that the faculty would not sanction their trip to Eugene, as they had already taken a trip to Washington State and to Califor nia. It is the opinion here that Wash ington usually handles these schedule matters in the same manner as the other schools do, receiving the faculty sanction before closing their schedule contracts, but evidently things of that nature are handled differently at the northern in stitution. two Dates open. Til two dates of February 25 and 26 are left open on the Oregon schedule, and while it is not known whether an other team will be secured to play here on those two dates or not, it is prob able |fiat an effort will be made. Both California and Stanford will make their northern trips next week, California playing Oregon and O. A. C. and Stan ford including Washington and Washing ton State in its itinerary. The only other games in the conference schedules this week-end wifi be the Idaho-Washington Stat contests, one at Moscow and one at Pullman. These games promise to be a real battle as this is the second se ries the two teams have played, in the former one, each is credited with one win. The lemon-yellow five is in good shape and it is not expected that Coach Boh ler will make any changes in the line-up which will go against the Aggies this week. “Tom” Cawley, of the Portland Y. M. C. A., who refereed the contests at Corvallis, will handle that end of it in the games here. Referee Draws Hoots. Coach Bolder mentioned that the Ag gie rooters took particular delight in hooting the decisions of the referee ill the games at Corvallis, and stated that he hoped the Oregon fans would not make tin; games as disagreeable as those at Corvallis were on this account. It is not expected that Coach Ruther ford of the O. A. C. quintet will make any changes in his line-up over that used against Oregon last week, which will probably mean that his team will go on the floor with Stinson and Arthur in the forward positions, Sanders at cen ter and S. Ross and Hubbard at guards. TWO GIRLS TO TEACH. Tn response to the demand for teach ers, Alice Hamm, a senior in the Eng lish department has accepted a tem porary position as teacher of English in the Eugene high school, and Ruby -Fen wick has accepted a full-time position in the Lincoln school. Miss Fenwick is a freshman in the University and is maj oring in household arts.
