/BLANKS NOT FILLED OUT
Seniors Fail to Answer Questionnaire
of School of Journalism.
Several days ago the School of Jour
nalism mailed out questionnaires to ev
ery member of the graduating class.
Though stamped, addressed envelopes
were enclosed to make returns as con
venient as possible, only 30 out of 107
have so far come in.
The questionnaires will he used as the |
basis of individual and collective stories
in the newspapers of all communities in
terested and will be written in a con
structive way which should help both
the student and the University.
Most of those who have not answered
have probably laid the letter aside and
forgotten about it. But the close of
school is rapidly approaching and every
questionnaire should he in. Every pros
pective graduate is therefore urged to
fill out and return the sheets today, if i
possible. 1
7 VARSITY SWIMMERS

Dual Meet and Water Polo Game With
Multnomah to Be Put On
Next Week.
Seven members of the varsity swim
ming squad will go to Portland next week
where they are scheduled to meet the
Multnomah club team in a dual swim
ming meet and in a water polo game on
•Tune 11. No selections have been made
.vet. of the seven men to make the trip
but according to the available material
the team will be chosen from the follow
ing nine members of the squad: “Mickey”
M ilsey, Ilus ’ Donglus, George Neal,
“Stoke” Palmer, “Jo” Murchie “Hap”
Hazard. “'Mickey” Ttinglor, “Frenchy”
DuPainv and “Duke” Howard.
The seven men taken will also form
the water polo team to meet the Winged
"M" players in the game which has been
scheduled. The events in the swimming
meet will be as follows: 50 yard dash,
100 yard dash, 200 yard dash. 100 yard
back stroke, plunge for distance, and 200
yard relay. The relay race will be a
feature of the meet, four men will make
up the relay teams, each swimming 50

Three of the varsity team wore the
Multnomah colors last year in swimming
meets, “Mickey” Uingler took part in
the meet at Oregon in the 100 yard

were also on the Multnomah team. “Bus”
Douglas and “Mickey” Wilsey were both
members for the past three years of the
Multnomah club water polo team which
captured the northwest water polo cham
pionship last year. Douglas was captain
of the club team last season.
Doubles Match Lost;
Title Claimed
State
The Lemon-Yellow tennis squad drop
ped their doubles match to the Aggie
team, Saturday, 12-10. 3-6 and 6-0, but
won a majority of the singles matches
played.
The games were slow, especially when
compared to the matches in the Pacific
coast conference matches. The fact that
Oregon rated above O. A. C. in the Pa
cific coast tournament gives the Univer
sity state championship in the opinion of
local tennis devotees.
A summary of Saturday’s singles fol
lows: Westerman, of Oregon, beat Ma
berly, of O. A. O., 7-5 and 6-4, and
Smith, of Oregon, defeated Joy, 4-6, 6-1
and 6-1; Williams, of Oregon, defeated
Kincaid, O. A. C., 8-6 and 7-5; Jue, of
Oregon, was defeated 6-4 and 6-3, by
Rosen, of the Aggies, and Garrett, of
Oregon, was defeated by Colwell, O. A.
C„ 6-3, 1-6 and 6-2.
COURSE FOR NURSES ENDS.
Miss. Hazel Huck, instructor in the de
partment of household arts, has recently
completed a course which she has given
to the nurses in the Mercy hospital on
“elementary ditetics.”
Zoology Lab Has Grunions;
Look Like Sand But Are Fish
A strange fish is the grunion. lie be
longs by nature either in the sands of the
sea or in the waters thereof, but he has
a gift for adapting himself to circum
stances, and when Harlan B. Tolmes, ex
‘21, dug up a considerable number of
him when he was very young, packed him
in his native damp sand in a glass fruit
jar, and sent him the 1200 and some
miles from San Pedro, California, to the
University, he didn’t care at all. The
grunion tribe is now cheerfully engaged
in developing eyes, tails, fins, and so on,
in glass jars up in the zoology depart
ment.
Mr. Holmes, who left the University
last fall to take the position of research
assistant in the fish and game commis
sion of California, has sent the depart
ment two different batches of the eggs of
the fish, which arc laid in the said along
the California shore. The grunion is a
little fish like a smelt, and is sometimes
known as the silvefsides. When full
grown it is four or five inches long. The
infant grunions, far from their homes
but nevertheless happy in the zoology de
partment. arc less than two millimeters
in diameter—a little bigger than the head
of a common pin.
It is a very remarkable thing, says Dr.
Harry Beal Torrey, head of the zoology
department, that the eggs of this salt
■ water fish, buried in the ocean sand 1200
miles away, should be shipped such a dis
tance, under such circumstances, and
still be developing as if nothing unusual
had happened.
Mr. Holmes sent the first batch of eggs
about a month ago. They have been liv
ing in moist sand, and are now nearly
ready to hatch. When Dr. Torrey put
a handful of the sand into a bowl of wa
ter, the tiny creatures could be seen
wiggling energetically, and if one looked
very carefully one could see their eyes,
like the most minute silver beads, gleam
ing in the sand. When one of them was
placed under the powerful lenses of the
zoology department, it was plain that
the tiny creature was finally going to be
a fish, for he had a tail that he waved
! gracefully. He also had a very large
i silver eye, which he rolled, and once it
j looked as though he winked it, but Dr.
' Torrey laughed at this and explained that
that is something fish don’t do.
The second batch of eggs arrived only
j the other day, and the infant grunions
aren’t over a week old. Under the mi
croscope, however, they too show signs
of life, for one can watch under the lens
the heart-beat and circulation of blood
in the tiny creature that looks to the eye
alone like nothing more than a minute
shining particle in the sand.
Teams Under Elston Ireland
and Roy Veatch to Begin
Work at Noon
EFFORT MADE TO KEEP
SECRETARY DONNELLY
Faculty Support Is Assured;
Univesity and Student
Presidents Help.
“Twelve, noon, is the zero hour. At
that time the campus Y. AY. 0. A. cam
paign for funds opens and two days later,
Friday noon, when the smoke has cleared
tlie University Y. will have enough money
pledged to assure a successful year,”
is the statement of Owen Callaway, pres
ident of the student Y„ who will launch
the annual money-raising today.
Thirty-three prominent University stu
dents have been chosen to carry on the
work under the direction of Roy Veatch
nnd Elston Ireland has an equal number
with him. Both captains are confident
of victory and a hard fight is due.
Each noon, starting today, the church
es of Eugene arc giving a “feed” for the
workers, which will he served by the
girls of the Y. W. C. A. All of the 66
workers are expected to be present.
Pledges For Next Year.
Because of the flatness of the average
student’s pocketbook at this time of year,
no money will be collected at this time.
Pledges will be made for next year, how
ever. The pledging will be taken as a
vote of confidence by the campus Y. of
ficials and will probably be a factor in
determining whether or not Hal Don
nelly, present student secretary, will re
main for another year.
The theory upon which the campaign
ers will work is as follows: That every
men in the University is permitted to
enjoy the privileges of the Y. M. C. A.
and that therefore every man student
should be willing to subscribe.
$2.50 Average Set.
Two thousand dollars will be raised
in the campaign and $2.50 has been set
as the average contribution. A number
of other coast colleges are raising sev
eral times this amount and as the aver
age Y. M. C. A. fund for all universities
in the United States is $MS18 it is be
lieved that little or no trouble will be
experienced in raising the required
amount.
The $2000 raised by the students will
be about one-third of the total fund need
ed to support the student Y on the Ore
gon campus, according to Ilal Donnelly.
The rest of the money will come from
faculty members, alumni and the state
Y. M. O. A. headquarters.
The Portland alumni have already
started an Oregon Y. ‘M. fund. Faculty
interest in the drive is shown by the fol
lowing statement by President P. L.
Campbell, issued yesterday afternoon
from the executive office:
“Organization of the Y. M. C. A. work
on the campus during the past year has
grown most satisfactorily. 1 understand
that a still more comprehensive program
is being planned for the coining year.
This work is of very great value to the
campus as a whole and I sincerely hope
that it may meet with hearty financial
support on all sides. I shall personally
he glad to contribute to the fund.”
Both Student Body President Savage
and President-elect Bartholomew are
strongly behind the drive. Morgan Sta
ton, Nelson English, Elmer Pendell and
Meryl Boyer have been chosen lieuten
ants under Roy Veatch, and Ralph Pos
ton, Bill Purdy, Bruce McConnell and
Frank Carter will work in that capacity
with Ireland.
Personnel of Teams.
The following men compose the teams:
Reds—Si Starr, Tommy Wyatt, Mor
gan Staton. Ralph Couch, Charles Lamb,

Bernice Altstock, newly elected secre
tary of Woman’s league, left yesterday

Atlstock by a day in order to make ar
rangements for their stay while in the

University Woman Likes Her
Job of Forest Lookout on
Horsepasture Mountain
ITow would you liko to spend your
summer vacation on the top of ;l moun
tain, U(HX) feet, above sea level, working
for the government V That is what Dor
othy Hickey, a junior in the University,
did last summer and plans to do again
this summer.
Muss Dickey was one of a very few
forest lookouts, her station being llorse
pasture mountain, which is one of the
two major lookouts in the McKenzie river
country. McKenzie bridge is about 70
miles from Eugene, explained Miss Dick
ey, and her mountain post is 1.7 miles
farther. This lost. 1". miles, she said,
r.he, with her mother, sister, the family
cat. and the cooking utensils, traveled
by “pack horse.”
“I can hardly wait ’til it’s time to go
again,” she said. “Usually, the lookouts
go about the fourth or fifth of July, but
this year there has been so much rain
that we won’t, go until the tenth.” The
season lasts, she explained, until some
time in September, the date depending
on the beginning of fall rains.
Asked if there were many fires. Miss
Dickey said she was the first to dis
cover 1(1 last summer. As soon as a fire
is discovered by one lookout, she went
on, another station is called to give a
reading of her instrument on it. The
intersection of the two lines of vision
enables the central office to locate the
fire exactly on the plat of the forest.
As soon as a fire is located, she said, a j
company of mm arc sont. out to fight it.
Karly in the summer, the men repair
tlie telephone system, which Miss Dickey
ileseribes as “truly wonderful.” “There
are wires all over the mountains,” she
said, “and some of the men carry little
pack telephones that they can attach
anywhere.” New trails, too, are made
hy the men, for their convenience when
the summer has advanced anil the fires
begin. The trails are also convenient
tor the tourists who come to the moun
tains, added Miss Dickey.
"Itut (isn’t lit awfully lonesome up
there?” suggested the Kmerahl ques
tioner.
"Oh, not at all," replied this young
guardian of the forest. “There is the
telephone,” she smiled, “we have our
mail every day or two, mid there are
ever so many people. Four days was
the longest time that we were without a
caller.” She related visits from mem
bers of the forest crews, tourists, and
sheepherders who brought gifts of mut
ton. Many friends from Fugene found
their way to her mountain lookout, she
declared, and she even celebrated her
birthday with a party fn her lofty sum
mer residence. “I have lots of time for
reading, too,” she added.
“Does it rain during the last of the
season?” she was asked.
“Yes,” she smiled, but added with op
timistic loyalty to her “job.” “hut you
can’t have everything perfect anywhere.”

TROSSEAUS GIRLS’ PROBLEM.
Several trosseaus are among the prob
lems which girls in the sewing class of
the department of household arts are
busy finishing before the term closes.
JAZZ TO BE FEATURE
of mot bill
University Musicians To Give
Real Syncopation Treat
The University orchestra is not pri
■ raurily a jnzz organization. In fact more
thnn once visitors at rehearsals have left
| after a short time because music such as
Tehaikowsky’s “Slave March,” and Bee
thoven’s First Symphony was beyond
their understanding.
The University orchestra does play
jazz, however, and one of the main fea
tures of the concert to be given Friday
evening, .Tune 11, in the Eugene theater
is to be n number in which several of
the members will try to demonstrate how
comprehensive and far-reaching jazz may
be. To some the word “jazz” means
nothing but. a blare, a noise. This idea,
according to the management, the or
chestra will try to correct by showing
that jazz can be as delicate as it can be
massive.
The act. is to begin with a suggestion
of jazz, the sort that will interest those
who like real music, according to the
promise of those in charge. Girls play
ing violins are to be the ministers of
the syncopation. This will be the deli
cute jazz from which so much is said to
be expected in the way of American
music.
For those who like jazz at its worst,
there will he six blowers on trombones,
trumpets and saxophones. The central
figure and chief offender in this group is
Herbert Hacker, whose trombone is one
of the best known musical instruments
on the campus.
The rendition of popular music will not
be confined to small groups, however.
The whole orchestra has iu its repertoire
a number of selections such as “A Young
Man’s Fancy,” (the music box number),
“Skookum” and “La Veeda,” which
though rather old, as Rex Underwood,
the director says, will never be too old
when played by a big orchestra.
