RUT TO BE OFFERED STUDENTS Committee Named by Presi dent Savage Considering Improvements. new plan will be VOTED ON IN MARCH In Tentative Form Now; Much Time Spent Formulat ing Ideas. Radical changes in the present consti tution of the- associated^ students, which will probably affect the entire system now used, are being considered by a com mittee of students appointed some time ago by Carlton Savage, A. S. U. O. pres ident. upon the recommendation of the executive council, which was Vested with authority to make a complete investiga tion of the present student government and to recommend any changes which it thought advisable to the students for consideration at the regular meeting of 1 lie student body in March. The committee, consisting of four stu dent members and four members of the faculty and alumni who servo in an ad visory capacity, is not yet ready to an nounce the amendments which it will submit, to the students in March, the complete plans being yet only in :i ten Juiive state and subject to changes. Other Plans studied. According to Wilbur Carl, chairman of the committee, about three months has boon spent in drawing up plans for the changes which it. was th night advisable to propose, during which ’ ime the ••cn stitutions and the government plans of other institutions yave been investigated with a view to incorporating the best features of other schools in the new sys tem for Oregon. A representative was sent to O. A. 0. to investigate the plan* of student government, at that institu tion, while correspondence has been held with a great many representative col leges in the country. At present the new plan is only in a tentative state, according to f'arl: A sub-committee has been appointed which will draw , up the plan which was ap proved by the committee at its last meeting, held yesterday afternoon, which will be presented at the next meeting of the entire committee, called for next Wednesday. Should the plans as drawn up he approved they will then be an nounced, according to the chairman. Council Starts Move. The movement for a change in the A. S. IT. O. constitution came from the exe cutive council and was given a hearing at a meeting of the student council some time ago. The committee named by President Savage consists of Wilbur • 'nil, chairman; Lyle Bryson, secretary; Vivian Chandler, president of the wo man’s league, and John Houston, vice president of the student body. Savage also serves as a member of the commit tee. Faculty and alumni members are Lean Colin V. Dyment, Karl Onthank, Marion McClain and Dean Walker. According to Carl, a member of the executive council, where the movement started, it was felt that the present form of government needed more co-or ( Continned on Page 4.) BALL PLAYING BARRED ON STREET BY POLICE Dean Straub Announces Action Taken By City Officials to Prevent Dangerous Practice. The city streets of Eugene shall not be used as a baseball diamond, gridiron nor basketball court. This edict has (gone forth from the city officials, and 'prevents Students from exercising the <<ommon practices of playing catch and passing, a pigskin upon the city tlioro I fares. This action, which is announced to i University men by Dean John Straub. ( has been taken by Chief of Police Chris tensen in order to prohibit what is said to be becoming a dangerous practice. Students, according to the chief of po liece, make it a habit to play catch upon streets where there is considerable traf fic, thus placing their personal safety in jeopardy and hindering those who use the thoroughfares. Recently a passing automobile \«is struck by a baseball, the windshield of the car being broken and 'the occupants narrowly escaping injury. This, and similar accidents which 'have occurred have led to the blanket ruling prohibiting the playing of catch or passing or kicking of a football upon the streets. Devotees of these various sports will be forced to confine their ac tivities to vacant lots, or places where passers by and the regular traffic will not be obstructed. TO EilTEI HUES Committee Has Difficult Task To Secure Coaches. Twelve of the girls’ organizations on the campus, have signified their intention of competing in the series of inter-soror dt.v debates which will take place next term. Those who are entering are: Alpha Delta Phi, Alpha Phi. Chi Omega, [Delta Delta Delta, Delta Gamma, Gam |ma Phi Beta, Hendricks Hall, Pi Beta Phi, .Sigma Delta 'Phi, Zeta Rho Epsilon, Kappa Kappa Gamma and the Girls’ .Oregon Club. A committee consisting of one girl from each organization has been ap pointed to select coaches, and work up the material for the teams. Those on this committee are: Elaine Cooper, (Helen Carson, Mildred Lauderdale, Ruth Griffin, Thelma Lyons, Francis McGill. [Elizabeth Meiis, Beatrice Hensley, Elsie [Hildebrand, Gail Acton and Marjorie Stout. “The girls find it very difficult to se cure coaches, every one is so busy,” said Marjorie Stout, chairman of the coaching committee. However, five out of the twelve organizations have suc ceeded in obtaining coaches, and are be ;ing worked in earnest. Those who have selected coaches are: Chi Omega, Miss Julia Burgess: Delta Delta Delta. Remey Cox; Delta Gamma, Professor Eldon Griffin; Zeta Rho Epsilon, Ethel Wake field, and Oregon Club, Professor George Turnbull. * The question decided upon is, “That ; the provision of the present law im posing Panama canal tolls on American coastwise vessels should be repealed.” Speeches are to be eight minutes in length with four minutes for rebuttal. The first series of debates will be held 1 the first week in April. - No! She Does Not Box; Other# Ways to Obtain Black Eyes 1 lie appearance on the campus of a '’°y with a black eye excites little or no comment. It is taken for granted that ho has been indulging in one of the many sPorts in which boys bat one another about as if they were tin soldiers with leaden weights in their feet. It is an entirely different matter, how ever, when a girl appears with the above-mentioned “shiner.” True, it may oot excite much audible comment, the v ‘'eat majority of the students being too l'olite even to mention it. Instead they stand off and stare at such an unusual phenomenon. ^ Stories are far more dis i meting than comment especially if the ' h tim happens to be a> poor little frosh, n '‘hiss which is always sensitive to every aionee cast in its direction. Some may 1' ‘11 go as far as one professor who ^tupped in the middle of a recitation "hh, "Miss-, where did you g* t that black eye?” aud when duly iu tonned hastened to add: “Of course I knew you hadn’t been fighting.” An other might wonder if a course in box ing has been instituted in the new wo man’s building. As a matter of fact the trouble was all over a little basketball game in which no one was particularly to blame. The main difficulty was that the frosh in a bas ketball game was playing pimping cen ter. a position entirely outside of her ex perience; which, according to all time honored principles calls for an individual far above the average height, while this particular center measured but five feet three inches. She was just tall enough to catch her opponent’s elbow squarely <iu the eye,—which she did. By the end of the game there was a fair sized moun tain on that side of her face and the next day it looked like a maple grove in autumn. i “Oh, well,” she said, “I don’t care. It was worth it. We beat them 46 to 5.” MISS CUMMINGS TO LEAVE OH; WILL CO TO WELLESLEY Position At Head of Hygiene Department In Eastern College Lures. WOMEN’S GYMNASIUM WORK HERE BUILT UP ; Retiring Director Recognized Nationally For Develop ing Great Department Miss Mabel U. Cum mings, head of the de partment of physical education for women, has been called to head a similar department at Wellesley, one of the three great wo men’s colleges of the country.

She re ceived her training at the Boston School of Gymnastics. University of Chicago, Tufts College Medical School, and Rush (Medical School, “Notwithstanding the offer as head of a depai tment in one of the three great women’s colleges in the country.” said INIiss Cummings yesterday, “I had great 'difficulty in reaching a decision to leave the University of Oregon. There is no greater opportunity anywhere In the country than here at the University for Uhe development of physical education and professional courses for women. The 'University is recognized as a leader in this work among the colleges of the country. The new woman’s building from the standpoint of a working plant has no equal anywhere. The fact that the courses at Wellesley are of a grad uate rather than of an undergraduate nature is all that is taking me away.” i President and Dean Praise. President P. L. Campbell and Dr. John Bovard, dean of the school of physical education, said that Miss Cummings was going to the biggest position if its kind in the United States and described in fhigh terms the quality and value of her 'fwork during her five years with the Uni versity.

By virtue of their win over Stanford at Berkeley last Friday 86 to 24, and their ,victory over the Orpgon Aggies at Oor ivallis last night 24 to If), the Bears have |jumped into the lealership of the coast conference. The Berkeley quintet spilled the dope last Friday by winning from the Stan ford five, until then leading the confer* Vnee with no defeats credited to them. The score indicates that the game win all in favor of California. Last night i at Corvallis, the Bruins started, their second team, but when the half ended 12 to 4 in favor of the Beavers, the south erners were forced to get in and fight «■’ for a victory. The game ending 24 to '19 indicates the fight put up by the vis itors from Berkeley in the last half to win the game. Varsity Watches Bears. Coach Bolder and the members of the Oregon varsity squad left Eugene yes terday afternoon and saw the California , five in action against the Aggies, on the Corvallis court. The second game will he played there tonight, when the south erners will come to Eugene for a two game series with the varsity. That California is out to make a strong bid for the conference title is evi dent from the result of their last tyro games. They started the Aggie game with their second string quintet, evi dently wishing to save their first string ers for the two games with Oregon this week-end here. This game does not of fer much dope, on the comparative strength of the varsity and the Califor .nia teams on that account. Little Is Known. Other than the foot that California walloped the Oregon Aggie quintet by decisive scores in the two games played at Berkeley during the early part of the season, and the fact that the Bears brake even with Washington in a two game series at Berkeley, little is known of .the comparative strength of the South erners as compared to the varsity quin tet. The dope sheet would apparently 'give the Bears the edge over the Lemon yellow quintet and no easy game can be expected in the series to be played here .Friday and Saturday nights between the two teams, \ Washington defeated Oregon by a jpretty wide margin in the two games played at Seattle early in the season. (They lost their first game to California j and won the second contest by a few | points. Oregon also defeated the Aggies decisively, and the Washington games r will probably have to be taken as the only criterion of the ability of the blue and gold quintet on the basketball court. Bohler Works Squad. '»Coach Bohler is putting the squad through the paces this week and is mak~ ing preparations for sending his team in fto the California games in the best pos sible condition. He appeared to be well '.satisfied with the work of the quintet in the two Aggie games, although he stated that the Aggies did not play as good a i game here as they did in Corvallis the week-end previous. Oregon’s chances to climb to the top of the Pacific Coast conference stand lings depend a great deal upon the out .come of tlie games thi^ week. Stanford (Continued on Page 4.)
