RESOLUTION CHUNGES
TIME OF PLEDGE DHY
IMIIM'S HOUSES
Sorority “Rushing” for Fall
Term Will Come During
Registration Week.
TUESDAY, INSTEAD OF
SATURDAY IS CHANGE
Present * System Interferes
With Work During First
Week of School.
rietlge Day in women’s fraternities
for the fall term will hereafter be the
last (lay of matriculation instead of the
Saturday following, according to a reso
lution adopted by the social affairs com
mittee. This day will be the Tuesday
preceding the calendar date for the
opening of class work and the remainder
of tbe week will be subject to the rules
at present governing the mid-week dates,
tbe resolution states.
This action was taken, according to
the committee, to ameliorate some of
the problems which have attended “rush
ing” in women’s fraternities at ’’he open
ing of the fall term, evils which are rec
ognized by “all parties concerned, so
rorities, ‘rushees,’ Pan Hellenic, faculty,
student body.”
“Unquestionably, under the program
as now followed, the first, week of the
fall term is alamentable epoch of dis
sipated energies, of frantic ambitions
working at cross purposes, and of re
grettable forfeiture of the more serious
ethics that should have uninterrupted
opportunity at the opening of the stu
dent’s university career,” states the
committee.
This ruling will entail a radical change
for it will mean that all “rushing” must
take place before the beginning of class
work.
“One natural sequence of the new leg
islation,” says the committee, “is the
necessity of early arrival on the campus
of both ‘rushers’ and ‘rushees’ and the
probable opening of the ‘rushing season’
on the Thursday or Friday preceding
matriculation days.”
KERBY MILLER TO GO
TO FAMOUS COLLEGE
Oregon Rhodes Scholar To Be Ad
mitted To Balliol, Oxford,
Next Fall.
Kerby S. Miller, Oregon graduate with
the class of 1920, winner of the Rhodes
scholarship at Oxford University, has
just received word that he will be ad
mitted to Balliol College, one of the
three oldest and probably the most fa
mous of all the colleges which make up
the great English college. Information
to this effect is contained in a letter re
ceived fr’om bim yesterday by liis mother
Mrs. K. S. Miller, 1833 Fairmount
boulevard.
Mr. Miller is at present ui New York
studying toward his masters’ degree in
philosophy at Columbia University. He
is expecting to enter Oxford next fall.
Friends here say that the entrance to
Balliol will be particularly pleasing to
him. since this was his first choice of
all the Oxford colleges.
Balliol dates back to the Thirteenth
century, and some of its buildings now
Standing were erected in the Fifteenth.
Its tradition of scholarship has ranked
high through the ages and its grad
uates have been among the most illus
trious of English intellectual leaders.

CHARGES VIOLATION
OF CONFERENCE RULE
Coach Mathews, of Willamette, Scores
Richardson and Keene of 0. A. C.
for Alleged Scouting.
Salem, Oregon, March 14.— (Special)
( barging that James J. Richardson,
tenoral manager of student activities
it Oregon Agricultural College, and
Koy "Spec” Keene, president of the stu
lent body of the Corvallis institution
violated rules of the Pacific coast con
science which prohibit “scouting” by
conference members for high school ath
etes, Coach R. L. Mathews, of Willam
4te University in a statement issued this
noruing scores the two men for their
tction in coming to Salem and taking
he members of the Baker high school
basketball team to Corvallis with an al
eged view toward inducing the players
:o choose the Corvallis school for their
college courses.
Richardson and Keene, along with
ither persons connected with athletics
it O. A. ('., came to Salem Friday
ivening to witness the games of the state
ligh school tournament staged here un
ler the auspices of Willamette Univer
sity. Saturday evening, following the
ournament, Richardson and Keene re
:urned to Corvallis by automobile, tak
ng with them the entire Baker high
school team, entries in the basketball
:otirnameiit.
“There is no reasonable room for
loubt as to the intention of Richardson
ind his party in taking the boys over to
Corvallis,” said fcloack Mathews. “They
vere seeking to induce them to select
J. A. C. as a place to go to college and
;aking advantage of the tournament
itaged at the expense of Willamette
University to do their scouting. Aside
rom the fact that scouting is expressly
irohibited by the rules of the Pacific
•oast conference, of which O. A. C. is
i member, Richardson and his party
showed poor sportsmanship by their con
tact in coming to the tournament and
stealing Willamette’s guests.”
“We welcomed the presence of Rich
irdson and other college representatives
it the tournament,” said Mathews, “and
ried to show them every courtesy, but
ye did not expect them to take advantage
if our party in circulating their propa
ganda. In contrast to the actions of
Richardson are those of Coach Bolder,
if the University of Oregon, who at
ended the games and aided in the of
ficiating, but did not utter so much as
me word to any of the visiting high
icliool students regarding their college
ilans or the University of Oregon.

ORCHESTRA TO GIVE
CONCERTS III THIS
IN SOUTHERN OREGON
Six Places Will Be Visited In
Spring Vacation Starting
On Monday Evening.
MME. M’GREW WILL
BE “ARTIST GUEST”
Trip To Be Biggest Thing Yet
Attempted By Musical
Organization.
Tlie University orchestra is carrying
twenty-five pieces, including Rex Under
wood, director and Madame Rose Mc
Grew, guest artist, on its tour of South
ern Oregon towns during spring vaca
tion. The towns in which concerts will
he given are Yonealla, Oakland, Grants
Pass, Medford, Ashland, and Roseburg.
The organization will leave Eugene on
Monday, March 2S, playing in Yonealla
on the same evening. The concerts will
be given in tiie other towns in the
order listed.
Orchestra Has Varied Features.
As a result of consistent practice dur
ing the whole year, under the guidance
of Mr. Underwood, the orchestra has
developed into an entertaining organiza
tion containing a rather varied number
of features, to add to the full orchestra
work in making up interesting programs.
The fullest was in the Cottage Grove
concert given some weeks ago. In that
program Alberta Potter played a violin
solo which was received with great en
thusiasm. Frank Jlie’s tenor solo was
received in like manner. A violon
cello quartet, composed of Carpentar
Staples, Agnes Kennedy, John Anderson
and Ralph Hoeber made one rather un
usual feature. A lias's sex'tet gave jazz
to season the program. All these are
to be used in the Southern Oregon tour.
Madame McGrew to Accompany.
The decision of Madame McGrew to
accept the invitation of the orchestra to
accompany them on their tour has caused
some little exliultation on their part.
The Southern Oregon tour will be the
most extended one as yet attempted by
the organization. Its first year as a
student activity is almost at a close now.
During that time it has been quite ac
tive, both on and off the campus. Last
spring, shortly after becoming a student
body activity, a tour "of Coos County
towns was made which was quite suc
cessful fiancially. Later a large part
was taken in the staging of the Music
[ Festival, and in the graduation exer
cises.
The largest entertainment given so
: far this year by the organization was the
orchestra concert and dance given in the
fall. Another campus appearance has
been a recital in Villard hall at which
time John Stark Evans, assistant dean
of the school of music, and Jane Timeli
er. instructor of piano in the school of
music played concertos accompanied by
’the orchestra.
Speaker at Final Assembly of Term
To Be Held Thursday at 11 in Villard
Bishop Walter T. Sumners
Bishop Sumner Pleased by
Growth of University; Will
Speak at Assembly Thursday
Bishop Walter Taylor Sumner, head
of the Episcopi^ church in Oregon, ar
rived on the campus Sunday for his an
nual visit to the University. Always a
booster for Oregon, the Bishop has ex
pressed himself as being much gratified
over the growth of the school since his
last visit.
While on the campus Bishop Sumner’s
program is being cared for by Dean
Fox, working in conjunction with the
Reverend Mr. Jennings, of the Eugene
Episcopal church, and Karl Onthank,
secretary to the president.
Since his arrival last week-end the
bishop has spoken at the Episcopal
church and at a meeting of the Eu
gene Kiwanis club. He was entertained
at the Delta Delta Delta sorority house
Monday evening.
Today he will talk to a vocational
guidance class in Villard hall, at 11 a.
m. and will have lnncheon at the Beta
house. Kappa Alpha Theta will enter
tai nhim at dinner tonight.
One of the principal addresses of his
stay will be made at the Y. M. C. A. hut
tonight, at 7:15, when the bishop will
address Episcopalians, both students
and others.
Wednesday will also be a busy day for
the bishop. At !> he speaks at the Eu
gene high school and at 11 at the Uni
versity high school. He will be enter
tained for the noon meal at the Chi
Omega house and for dinner at Friendly
hall. At 5 in the afternoon he will ad
dress the Y. W. C. A. cabinet. Mrs. F.
L. Campbell and Dean Fox will give a
tea in his honor at four.
Bishop Sumner’s most important ad
dress will be made at Thursday morn
ing’s assembly, when he will speak on
“Self Government.” This topic is con
sidered especially timely, coming as it
does when the new student body con
stitution is being considered.
Following luncheon at the Phi Theta
house. Thursday, Bishop Sumner will
spend the afternoon at the Y. M. C. A.,
allowing some time for conferences and
some for a final address. Dinner at
Hendricks hall will be the last even on
his campus program.
STUDENTS' RELIEF
IRK SUCCESSFUL
“Jimmy" Price Engaged In
Raising Funds.
“Jimmy” Price, formerly campus Y.
M. C. A. Secretary aud special student
in the department of sociology, who left
the University a few months ago to
join in the Near East Relief campaign,
spent Sunday and Monday on the eam
pus._
Most of his work since leaving college
has been in Wyoming, where in six
weeks he secured maintenance for 250
Armenian orphans.
In the little town of Graybull, Wyom
ing, he visited the high school and se
cured $360 from he freshman class of
thirty members, and $120 from th6 ten
juniors.
After leaving Wyoming, Mr. Price
spent a short time in Billings, Mont.,
then a few days in Seattle visiting with
his parents, aud came on to Portland
last week. Monday afternoon he left
Eugene for Salem to speak at a “Fathe’’'
and Son” banquet. He is not yet ad
vised where he will be sent from there.
Jimmy seems to be making a great
success in this work. While in Wyom
ing he received a letter from the Near
East Relief headquarters offering to
send him to Armenia as head of an
orphanage of 10,000 children; but the
next day he received a letter counter
manding this offer and stating that as
long as he continued to raise money at
such a rate in America, that he was of
more value in this country then he could
possibly be in Armenia.
When Jimmy stepped off the train at
Eugene Saturday night ,a gentle rain
was falling. “This is absolutely the first
rain I have seen since leaving Eugene,”
lie said, “although there was one small
snowfall in- Cheyene.”
DANCE BAN IS PENALTY
Faculty Rule Forbids Women Students
Too Much Social Activity.
Heads of schools and departments who
have reason to believe that any major
woman student is falling serviously be
hind in general university work because
of excessive social or other or other
outside activity, and who wish in conse
quence to have the student barred from
all dances, and perhaps from other ac
tivities, until scholastic status is'raised,
are invited to report name and circum
stances, with a recommendation, to the
office of the dean of women. A case in
point occurred last week in the college
of literature, science, and the arts, the
woman j question being prohibited from
any dancing whatsoever until a certifi
cate from the department of phyiscal
education for'women should show that
she was able to dance and at the same
time keep up her work, without disabling
'no self.
U. OF C. GETS LAND BY WILL.
In accordance with the will of Denni'
Sears, former University of California
regent, $1,000,000 worth of Alameda
marsh land comes into the possession oi
’the university.
\
Phi Delt House Will Be New
Meeting- Place.
The Newman club of the University
of Oregon will take over the building ad
joining the campus across from the Co
,op store, at present occupied by Phi
Delta Theta fraternity, during the sum
hier vacation, according to plans made
known to members of the local Newman
club by Father Edwin V. O’Hara last
.Sunday morning. When addressing the
Catholic students following their com
munion breakfast, Father O’Hara told
of the materialization of his plans and
the purpose of the Newman club at the
University.
( A five thousand dollar religious li
brary is to be one of the features of
Newman hall. “Every department of
knowledge has its corresponding religious
literature,” stated Father O’Hara to the
70 students and faculty members pres
ent at the meeting. “As people study
more deeply they find more need of re
ligious instruction. The Newman hall
library will be accessible both to stu
dents and faculty. I have no desire to
conflict with Jhe work of the ‘Y’ on the
campus, but I feel that a Newman hall
is needed to symbolize the Catholic
church in the University life.”
No fmuncial assistance will be asked
from members of the Newman club for
the purchase of the building, said Fath
er O’Hara when outlining his plans for
obtaining the $ir>,000 needed for the
purchase of the house and the proposed
library. He told the students that im
mediately after Easter he would tour the
state in behalf of the organization, and
that he hoped to have the necessary
funds raised by July. “I will need the
co-operation of the Newman club and its
alumni,” said Father O’Hara. “Only
upon your assured co-operation can I
go forward with the work."
The upper floor of the hall will be
rented in order to take care of the in
cidental expenses in the maintenance of
the club.
Father O’Hara spoke to the students
! on the advtntages of higher education
they would be the leaders in their com
munity life when they returned home,
and therefore that they should not neg
lect religious ideals while at Oregon.
Futher J. P. Towey, Paulist mission
ary and Newman club worker, addressed
the students briefly. Father Towey has
been connected with the Newman clubs
at the Universities of Minnesota and
California. Genevieve Clancy sang a
solo preceding the addresses. Francis
Kern, “president of the Newmau club,
presided at the meeting.
DANCERS BORROW MUSIC.
■ “Borrowing” the music from a near
by fraternity dance, one Stanford couple
solved the problem of the high cost of
dancing by using the deserted band
si and which is Being moved from its
original location. The rising moon com
pleted the setting and the resourceful
couple found an evening’s entertainment
which may prove pouplar while the statu
remains on its present site.

Judgment of Other Coaches
- Consulted Before Choice
Was Made. \
(By J. Fred (“Doo”) Bohler.)
(Director of Athletics at the
State College of Washington and
Advisory member of the basketball
rules committee of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association, rep
resenting the western district.)
(Pacific Intercollegiate News Service)
Washington State College, Pullman,
March 14.—(Special)—The following
all-coast and all-uorthweat teams are of
ficially named for the 15)21 season:
All-coast Pos. All-Northwaat
Team. Team.
Durno, Oregon.F.. . .Durno, Oregon
Itighter, Stanford. .F.. . Rich, Whitman
Sielk, Wash.C.. H. Latham, Ore»
Eggleston, Calif... G. . . Hunter, Idaho
Adams,Stanford.. .G. .Mclvor, W. S. C.
In picking these teams, considerable
consideration has been given the judg
ment of the other coaches of the two
conferences, and their choices were col
lected and compiled before the final se
lections were made.
Durno Unanimous Choice.
In the coast conference, Durno of Ore
gon is the unanimous choice of all the
coaches for the first forward position. *
He is small, but makes ' up for this
handicap with his speed, and clever dodg-r
ang and dribbling. He makes long shots as
well* as short, ones from kn$ angle on
the floor, besides converting a high per
centage of his free throws. This is hia
third year on the all-Coast team.
The second forward choice must go
to Highter of Stanford. Although he
cannot come up to Durno in cleverness,
he has been a big factor in the strength
of the Stanford team through his abil
ity to locate the basket. He is large
and rnngy and has the knack of break
ing through his guards and scoring
when anywhere near the basket. Rightsr
wus another unanimous choice of the
conference coaches. This is his second
year on the all-Coast team.
Sielk Is All-Coast Center.
For the center position, first choiee
must be accorded to Sielk of Washing
ton. Although he has been a member
of the Sun Dodger squad for several
years, he did not reach his stride until
this season. He is an exceptionally
