Ill si Miss Lucile Saunders, Former Student, Writes Letter. NEWSPAPERS NOT BUSY Chief Journalistic Effort Said to Be Covering Bull Fights. The experiences of a free-lance report er are described by 'Miss Lueile Saunders in a letter recently received on the cam pus from Lima, Peru. Miss Saunders was formerly a student in the school of journalism of the University. but left school to work on papers in the north west. She finally decided to see South America, and is now touring the southern countries writing stories for the Oregon ian and various trade papers. The let ter. in part, follows: Lima. Peru.—-Dear Fellow Journalists: The trip has gone fine, as the typewriter hasn’t had indigestion and the camera got out of order only once, and the bud ding author found a can of insect powder more useful than the Colt .2.1, especially after-the iodine botlle spilt into the lat ter. Everything is shipshape. I’m not going to talk about myself or the lone jaunt across Mexico in a se gunda elase coach, or the visit I paid the mayor of Amapala,, Honduras, who has been in jail twice, or about my journey through the surf in a dug-out canoe at Manta and Bahia. I’m going to talk shop. Bull Fights Interesting. Tn Mexico City the newspapers look modern and large and very Spanish. They have bulletin boards along the streets and numerous crowds reading all about, the latest bullfight, ete. I spent a week crossing the southern part of the coun try and every time we put some papers off in a little town the folks would sit around all evening reading the account of that same bullfight, out loud. I didn’t hear another piece of news for six days. In Panama, there is a newspaper printed half in Spanish and half in Eng lish. so it behooved me to call. When I got there the jitney driver didn’t have change for five dollars, so I made my debut by going in and asking the cashier in a most breathless fashion if he could loan mo fifteen cents. The office was very dusty and the cashier had a wooden leg. and seemed about as lively as any of those present. I told him to let me talk to the city editor who was busily engaged talking to a very black darky. After while he turned around, spoke, and introduced me to the black man, as “Our owner and publisher, Mr. Dukey.” Queer People Met. I let them ask me questions about the I, newspapers in the states and whether I knew so and so on the New York Herald or somebody else on the Bigville Bee. 1 must tell you about the “journalist” I met travelling through Guatemala. His name was Will Plank. Will had freckles and needed to comb his Lr.ir and brush ids suit occasionally. All the could talk about was the ruins he had seen, and he talked all the time. Here, indeed, I had met more than my match when it came to disturbing the atmosphere with the voice. Even when I showed lnm my famous Times-Bulletin-Statesman-Orc gonian scrap book, each page only served to remind him of something much better he himself had achieved. j So much for shop talk. I am to meet I lie man who is society editor and scan dal monger (that is quite an art here), <d the big paper of Lima today. I will lell you about him later. As ever, LUCILE SAUNDERS.

Oregon club did | not score until the third inning and made ! her six tallies in the third and sixth. The Hendricks battery. Ruth Wolff and Emily Berry, played throughout the entire game without sending a batter to first on balls and fanned out three of the downtown girls. Hendricks started out with six hits in succession in the first inning and landed six points. Oregon club’s first two in nings resulted in only one fair hit, but they succeeded in holding Hendricks down to three tallies in the second. Hen dricks made ten runs in the third, in cluding T.ynetta Quinlan’s homer. Pearl Lewis, the Oregon pitcher, knocked a ,:rmo 1",’> ‘ii the third. >e~fng in two founts, and the inning end'd with :our poiuts in her favor. Oregon club held Hendricks to another three semes in the fourth, and none in the fifth, but Hendricks retaliated by making ten more in tlie sixth. The down town gh Is made their final two scores in the sixth Hendricks crossed the plate twice in the last inning and the final sere stood 38 to 0 in her favor. Ruth Wolff end Iynetta Ou ,nan, with six runs each, and Eppy Perry, with fno, were He- drifts’ high scorers.

Tho groat interest that is being given | throughout, collegiate circles to debate ! brings forth numerous suggestions as to | ways to improve this activity. One of the most striking suggestions is that of fered by Professor Kay K. Inline!, of Michigan, who extolls the .virtues of the no-judge debate. Writing to the Michi gan Daily, he says in part: “For many years our college activities have been evolving from their period of childhood into maturity. Once, in the childhood of our sports, it was consid ered good form to try to ‘rattle’ the op posing team. The whole idea was to win at any cost. It was childish; we no long er cherish it. Wo still like to win. but we know it is better to play square. “Tbe no-judge debate is another stop in the development of our maturity. It is believed by many of us that the time lias come to drop some of the ‘rewards and punishments' that move children to effort, and to offer in their place the more dignified incentive of ‘work for work's sake.’ Medical students study to become good physicians. Engineers sttidi to become good engineers. Competitive contests, with judges, in these fields would seem childish to all of us. “It is a sign of manhood when the child no longer has to ho bribed to prac tice a piano lesson or to go to school. Is there not something to be said for an at tempt to lay the emphasis in debate where it. belongs and not on some exter nal stimulus? Debating is not a college ‘sport.’ Tt is a preparation for the work of later life. Is it not about time for us to enter into tho practice of debating for its own sake? “A debate decision settles nothing, not even the question of which is the better team. There are no fixed standards as in a football game. It is merely tbe opin ion. formed under pressure, of throe men. More than frequently this opinion is wrong. Quite often a judge comes to the conclusion, after reflection, that lie f should have voted the other way. Some- | times, though much less frequently than of old, judges are chosen because of their known or fancied leanings to one side of the question or to one school. Ol most without exception colleges have a ‘blacklist* containing men to be avoided as judges. I believe that our interest is not primarily in the decision but in the debate. If 1 did not believe this I would drop my connection with debating today. In a word, 1 believe that we have become men, and that it is time for us to have done with childish things.” j Graduation Pictures The Martin Studio Seventh and Willamette.
