UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
HAVE POEMS PRINTED
Katherine Watson and Read
Bain Are Honored
Two University of Oregon students,
Katherine Watson and Bead Bain, have
poems appearing in “The Poets of the
Future,” a college anthology for 1920
1921. The book contains 125 poems
which have been selected by the editor
as the best poems submitted by stu
dents from all of the universities and
colleges in the United States. Sixty
eight colleges are represented in this
book.
Katherine Watson, whose poem “To
L—” appears in the anthology, is a
sophomore at Oregon. She comes here
from Chicago, where her preparatory
work was done. Miss Watson has had
several poems published in current
magazines. She is a member of Pot and
Quill, women’s literary organization.
Bead Bain graduated from Oregon
last year, and is this year instructing
in the sociology department. His poem
is entitled “On the Death of Theodore
Boosevelt.”
The state of Oregon is further rep
resented in the anthology by one poem
each from Pacific, Beed, and Willam
ette universities. The University of
California has eight poems, which is
the largest number of poems contribu
ted by any one school; Columbia Uni
versity being second with four.
“The Poets of the Future” is com
piled and edited each year by Henry
T. Schnittkind for the purpose of en- !
couraging young writers- He invites
the instructors in every college in the 1
United States to encourage their most
promising students to submit work to
him. This verse is judged by a com
petent committee, and the best 125
poems are selected, regardless of the
school from which they are sent. The
present volume, besides the 125 printed
poems, contains a list of 135 names of
those whose poems rank next highest in
literary merit.

SLEUTH CLEARS MYSTERY
Edison B-eproducer Which Disappeared
In “Y” Found by Young Sherlock
The “mystery of the music box”
which has been hanging over the Y. M.
C. A for the past few days, has been
cleared up at last. Sometime during
the Christmas vacation the reproducer
mysteriously disappeared from the Edi
son noise machine. This disappear
ance has been the cause of much theo
rizing among amateur sleuths, and at
last one of them followed out a
“hunch” which led to its recovery.
The machine is one of the army and
navy type used overseas during the
war. There are several cavities behind
the record table which descend into the
“engine room.” One young Sherlock
noticed these holes, removed a few
serews from the front of the machine,
reached into the dark interior, and
after grouping about for a few minutes,
withdrew his hand bearing the missing
reproducer.
RIFLEMEN TO MEET 0. A. C.
Ten-Man Teams to Compete on Ranges
at Corvallis Saturday
The University of Oregon rifle team
will meet O- A. C. ’s rifle team' at Cor
vallis Saturday morning. According
to Major Raymond C. Baird, O. A. C.
will dispatch their army truck to carry
over our team to Corvallis. Major;
Baird stated that the team would carry
over the Oregon jinx and are in hopes
of defeating the Aggies, as Oregon has
done in this event for the past two
years.
Those composing the team are: E.
S. Sloan, C. L„ Heider, D- E. Bullock,
W. H. Durham, Don Zimmerman, A. M.
Wilhelm, James Meek, O. T. Gant,
Nielson Page and Edson Biggar. Ma
jor Baird and Lientenant Knowles and
faculty members will accompany the
team it is stated.
Major Baird says the Military de
partment of the University hopes to
have a machine gun team in a short
time and will engage in competition
with other colleges in that line
WARNER TELLS OF LAW
CONVENTION AT CHICAGO
Higher Standards for Law Schools Dis
cussed; T. A. Larremore on
Executive Committee
Dr. Sam Bass Warner, of the law de
partment, made a trip to Chicago dur
ing the recent Christmas recess to at
tend the convention of the American
Association of Law Schools. Dr. War
ner said that some very important busi
ness was discussed at this meeting,
mainly concerning the raising of the
standard requirements for entrance to
those schools which are members of
the association.
T- A. Larremore, who was a member
of the law faculty of the University
last year, was elected to the executive
committee of the association. Mr. Lar
remore is well known on the campus.
In the agitation for the raising of
the standards of the law schools there
was discussed the possibility of im
proving the quality of teaching in the
schools by requiring the faculties of
the law schools to take compulsory
courses in teaching. This system is pur
sued at Yale.
The advisability of giving psycholo
gical examinations to all students ap
plying for admittance to law schools
was discussed. A rule was passed to
require all those desirous of entering
the law schools to have had at least
two years of college. This requisite
will apply to all those law schools which
are members of the association. The
University will adopt this as an en
trance requirement in the law depart
ment.
MAIL REFORM REQUESTED
More Exact Addressing of Envelopes
Suggested by Postmaster
To reduce the trouble and mail con
gestion of former years, Postmaster
Henry M. Fisher, urges that all stu
dents, at the beginning of this term
ask their friends and correspondents to
address their letters to the street and
number of the house, where they are
living or to the exact hall of residence
if they are on the campus.
Many of the students, says Postmas
ter Fisher, give their address, as simply
the University of Oregon, or their par
ticular fraternity house. The Eugene
post-office recognizes no such addresses
and sends all such mail as University
general delivery, where it must be re
addressed or left until called for, thus
resulting in days of delay. The campus
mail is in the basement, of Adminis
tration building and all first-class mail
in the post-office building. Those stu
dents whose names begin with the fol
lowing letters would do well to call
for mail as soon as possible: B, C, E,
H, J, Q, R, S, T, W.
DANCE AFTER GLEE SING
Piggers Already Making Dates for Big
Affair of January 28
A dance, with the best music ever
heard in the Woman’s building will fol
low the Men’s glee club concert, Satur
day, January 28, according to an an
nouncement made Monday afternoon.
Reports indicate that piggers are
making dates early for the function,
as a very liberal price will be made to
University students. The Woman’s
building will be used for the concert
and dance and as no other University
functions are scheduled for the 28th, a
record breaking crowd is expected.
Glee club practices are being held
several times each week. Stunts, with
more punch than usual, and an abund
ance of harmony will feature, accord
ing to those in charge.
MU PHI WILL ENTERTAIN
Annual Musical Assembly to be Given
January 19 by Women Musicians
Thursday, January 19, Mu Phi Ep
silon, national musical fraternity for
women, will give a musical assembly
at which many of its members will
entertain the student body. This is an
annual affair and the entire hour will
be devoted to various selections- The
program has not been definitely worked
out as yet, but an exact copy of this
program will be ready for print very
soon. The opening number will be
given by a small orchestra. Esther
Wilson will give soprano solos, Lora
Teschner, chello solos, and Dorothy
Dickey, a piano solo. There will also
be some double quartet work and a
piece played by three violins with
piano accompaniment.
SERVICES ARE RECOGNIZED
The University is in receipt of a let
ter, from Adjutant General P. E. Har
ris, containing a certificate from the
war department awarded in recognition
of the services of the University in
establishing a unit of the Student Army
Training Corps, during the World War.
PLEDGING IS ANNOUNCED

LACK OF MONEY DELAYS
BUILDING OF NEW COURTS
Plans for Raising Funds Will be Ac
cepted and Sponsored Says
Dean John Bovard
The hope of new tennis courts this
spring has completely vanished, accord
ing to Dr. John F. Bovard, dean of the
school of physical education, who has
been doing all in his power to push the
work. However, he says that he will
see that the old dirt courts are put into
shape as soon as the ground dries off
providing some one will make use of
them. Last year the department went
to the trouble and expense of fixing
up the courts and they were used only
for baseball practice.
Complete plans for the new courts
have been made and are only waiting
for money to carry them out. If the
students can devise some plan for rais
ing the money Dr. Bovard invites them
to lei him know and he will see that
it is carried through. The new courts
will cost approximately $1000 each.
They will be cement, on the ground
near Hayward field. The plan is to
make the courts the best possible with
one large court with bleachers for
tournaments.
In order to give more persons a
chance to use the present courts, Dr.
Bovard suggests that students work
out a system whereby two people can
not monopolize the courts but after
a certain length of time will be obliged
to give them up if there is someone
waiting.
DELTS PULL BETAS IN RACE
Tug of War Lasts Fifteen Minutes;
Piling Proves Life Saver
The Beta-Delt tug of war Saturday
resembled all good public functions in
at least one respect—it took one hour
to get enough rope to hold the affair
and another fifteen minutes or so de
bating on the most suitable place to
pull it. It was a stern struggle how
ever, and lasted fifteen minutes, the
Dolts finally winning the tussle.
The Betas splashed through the race
with considerable alacrity, although it
took several hands to help them out at
the other side. One Beta, unable to
swim a stroke managed to float to the
middle of the race and there clung to
a piling of the railroad bridge until a
rescuing rope pulled him the rest of the
wav over.
It was a good contest, with real
sportsmanship exhibited on both sides.

uation. Endorsement of the step will
i be received by many in the University
who hold hopes for a functioning honor
| system with this as encouragment
toward its ultimate establishment. In
several departments, notably the schools
of journalism and commerce, an “honor
system” is existant by general under
standing between students and faculty,
without, however, machinery for its
enforcement as a true “honor system.”
The head of one of the schools where
such a system is generally accepted
said yesterday that he did not know
what action he would take should a
case of cheating arise in his depart
ment. “I should probably call in
several of the more advanced students
for advice,” he declared.
Behind such a plan as that which
bared its teeth yesterday for the first
time in the law school is the assump
tion that every student in the depart
ment is honorable in all his actions
within the department and that a
breach in this code constitutes a serious
offence, sufficient to bring down from
the injured body a penalty to be made
effective by the use of moral coersion,
the chief weapon of the system.
“Social ostracism for those who err,”
might be the motto of the law school.
“This does not mean that the students
could not be merciful and fail to
ostracise a man who had committed
only a minor breach,” declared Bur
leigh, chairman of the committee which
held the hearing,” but it does mean
that, in the main, the least cheating is
a capital offense for which there is only
one punishment.
Under this system no student is ever
expelled from school but if he is found
guilty he is given to understand that
his presence is undesirable to the stu
dent body and he is allowed to with
draw. The system throws a big respon
sibility upon the student body and its
operation, when violated, is drastic. It
will not work, however, unless the stu
dent body is ready for it’ and willing
to accept the responsibility that it en
