LAURELS IN ACTIVITIES
SOUGHT BY OREGON CLUB
Men Out for Track, Debating
and Basketball
■When a call for debaters "was
sounded by the Oregon elnb, 16 men
responded. Out of this number, two
teams were chosen with four men on
each team. The first team is com
posed of Bailey, Rool, Maccoley, and
Kerns. Bailey has had four years of
debate work in the Salem high school,
Bool three years in the Eugene high
school; Maccoley sir years at Jeffer
Bon high, and Kerns, two years in
North Dakota.
The second team includes Brock,
Spere, Blood, and Lerwell, all of whom
have had more or less experience along
lines of debate and public speaking.
The Oregon club promises also to
make a good showing in basketball
this year. Forty-five men signed up
for this sport, and two teams have
been indefinitely chosen.
The intellectual side of the club has
not been neglected. A committee has
arranged to have the grades of the
members kept separate, in the same
manner as other organizations on the
campus. Every effort will be made
to bring up the scholastic standard,
and to pnt the name of Oregon club
near the head of the list when the
grades are published.
"Traek” will be the main subject
for discussion at a meeting of the Ore
gon club Monday night at the “T”
hut. An urgent invitation is extended
to all men interested in track to be
present.

At Xnatltutea; Speaks on Flower
Preservation Alone Highways
During the last week A. B. Sweetaer,
prpfes^or of 'botany, has traveled
through Eastern Oregon speaking be
fore the teachers ’ institutes in con
nection with the extension work of the
University. His addresses were made
before the institutes assembled at La
Grandej in Union county, and Vale
in Malheur county.
Professor Sweetser spoke first before
the tri-County institute, which includes
Baker, Union and Wallowa counties,
at La Grande. “The Biography of the
Flower” was the subject of his address.
He urged the preservation and re
planting of flowers along the highways.
From La Grande he went to Vale,
where he spoke before the Malheur
county teachers’ institute on the sub
ject of the teaching of biology. He
addressed the high school section of
the institute in the afternoon on the
same subject.
During his trip Professor Sweetser
distributed literature of the extension
division. It is his observation that
considerable interest is being shown
in the extension work the Univer
sity is offering.
He also met a number of the alumni
who are teaching in the counties rep
resented by these institutes. All of
them are interested in their work, and
are making progress.

PYGMALION TO BE GIVEN
TO GET MONEY FOR POOR
Play by Shaw Win be Repeated to
Raise Christmas Cheer Ponds
“Pygmalion,” the comedy by George
Bernard Shaw which was produced
successfully on the campuB last year
will be the means of bringing Christ
mas cheer to the homes of many Lane
j county poor this coming Christmas for
the play will be given again December
1 and 2 under the auspices of the
Eugene Elks club in order to raise
money for the Elks ’ Christmas Cheer
fund.
This play was well received on the
campus last spring and when the Elks
club asked the dramatic department of
the University to produce a play for
this affair “Pygmalion” was decided
upon not only because it is a play that
had a popular appeal, but many were
turned away and were unable to see
the play when it was produced on the
campus. The cast of the play when
it is produced in December will con
tain as nearly as possible the same per
sons as it did last year. Miss Charlotte
Banfield, Madam Rose MoGrew, and
Fergus Reddie will play the leads, but
Darrell Larsen will have the part which
was played by Professor Michael last
year. Norvell Thompson and Irene
Stewart will be seen in it again and
two minor parts will be given to Ruth
Hayman and Mabel Gilham.
De COU PREPARES DATA
FOR FOREIGN COUNTRY
Information Requested by Swedish
Government Concerning
Oregon Law
At the request of the Swedish Gov
ernment, data on the origin of the
Oregon Initiative and Referendum has
been prepared by Professor E. E. De
Cou, head of the mathematics depart
ment of the University. This informa
tion has been sent to Herbert Tingsten,
head of a delegation commissioned by
the Swedish government to study the
workings and success of the movement
in the United States. The delegation
is conducting a careful investigation
in the eastern part of the country.
Professor De Cou, who wrote many
articles for eastern magazines on the
Oregon Iniative and Referendum when
it was first experimentally launched
within the state, about 12 years ago,
will be quoted in Sweden as an author
ity on this political issue. The Swed
ish government has evidently taken a
vast interest in this wide-spread and
favorable undertaking in the United
States, and hopes to attempt inculca
tion of the initiative and referendum
in its own government, asserted Pro
fessor De Cou. Reports of the re
; search work carried on by the delega
tion will be made to the Swedish Par
liament, where deliberate consideration
will be given to the new political prob
lem. *
PRESIDENTS OF STUDENT

—(P. I. N. S.)—The annual conven
tion of the Student Body Presidents
association, an organization of all the
presidents of associated students in the
Northwest, will probably be held at
the University this year.
Floyd Maxwell, Editor of the Emer
ald at the University of Oregon, sug
gested to Wendell Brackett, corres
pondent for the Inter-Collegiate Press
association that the president’s conven
tion be held in conjunction with the
P. I. P. A. convention to be held here
November 8, 4, 5. A joint banquet of
the two organizations will probably be
given.
No definite action will be taken in ;
arranging for the meeting until fur
ther information is received from other (
colleges.
MBS. GERLINGER ON CAMPUS

af the board of regents, came to the
campus last evening to attend the j
board of regents meeting. Mrs. Ger- j

EXTENSION STUDENTS
LIKE WORK, SAYS REBEC
Oodtms la Mathematics and Foreign
Languages Excite Special Inter
act la Portland
Students who enrolled in the mathe
matics courses offered by the Univer
sity extension division in Portland are
willing to work, says Dr. George Rebec,
head of the Portland center. Enrol
| ment in these courses is much larger
than usual this year, he says. At the
request of a group of students a new
class in calculus was organized last
week.
Requests for instruction in Greek and
[Portuguese have come from about 700
persons, and the classes in Italian and
the Scandinavian languages have been
very popular. Dr. Rebec gives two
reasons for the interest shown in the
study of foreign languages: students
of music find it helpful to master one
or more languages; and many persons
of foreign extraction wish to learn the
speech and study the literature of their
fathers. It is interesting, says Dr. Re
bec, to note the requests for courses in
Greek, a subject which is taught in
very few high schools and not in all
colleges.
One thousand students are doing Uni
versity work in the Portland exten
sion division at present.
DON DAVIS SENDS LETTER

Work in Pennsylvania
A lottcr has been received by Dean

nent senior last year, graduated with
the class of ’21 from the school of
business administration. Mr. Davis is

competition with a number of men from
Stanford, and Washington. Hs is
brought into contact with many eastern
oollege men.

tions are very much like those in a
fraternity house. They live at Arm- !
strong Manor, and have an organiza- '
tion resembling the university idea.
