JUNIOR WEEK-END
VIEWS AIRED
Oponlons Concerning Tradition are
Bought on Campus; Various Ideas
Found; Two Committees Inresti
gate.
ACTION DELAYED
Class Awaits Expression of Students
Before Commencing Work on
Plans; Many Would do Away
With Bushing.
Leith Abbott, President of the Senior
class: “I am in favor of cutting down
on the elaboration of Junior Week-end.
The canoe fete has outgrown itself. In
the last two years it has become such a
large demonstration that the expense has
been too great for the students to bear.
If every one is to see this event, there
should be bleachers constructed along
the mill race. Another idea which
would contribute toward lessening the
expense is that of choosing by lottery,
perhaps, one men’s and one women’s
organization to join in making an entery
in the parade. Thus the expense would
be cut in half and the number of entries
would be reduced so that less time would
be taken up by this event alone.
“We need a spring festival of some
sort, but there is always the question of
who is to pay for it. Someone must bear
the burden. The sacrifice of time is the
main thing. I do think that we could
cut down on time by running the canoe
fete on Friday evening and filling Sat
urday ’s program with events so that
one thing will happen after another. In
the morning there could be staged the
regular baseball game. The luncheon
might come at noon, as usual, the track
meet the first' thing in the afternoon,
and the Prom in the evening.
“I am opposed to a wholesale invita
tion being extended to any outsiders.
Such a policy gives the university pub
licity at the expense of the various stu
dent organizations. We might take ad
vantage of the regular meetings of the
High School Editoral Association and
the convention of the presidents of High
•School students bodies. They alone
might be invited to come here as Junior
Week-end guests.
‘ ‘ The prices charged for admittance
to the senior play must be cut. An
•enormous amount of money is collected
by the seniors at the expense of all the
other classes.”
•• • •
Lyle Bartholomew, president of the
Associated students: The last meeting
of the Associated Student Body Presi
dents decided that Junior Week-end was
an essential part of the program of the
building up of the universities. None
of the fourteen colleges represented were
willing to do away with Junior Week-end
or a similar occasion. I do feel that the
time should be limited. The entertain
ment should last only two days, Friday
and Saturday. The canoe fete should
be retained as being distinctly Oregonian,
and the finest feature of the whole pro
gram. It might be limited as to time
and expense, however. The senior play
should come at some time other than
Junior Week-end. I feel that the worth
of the university should be emphasized
to the visitors. Guests should be allowed;
to talk to the deans of the schools in
-which they are interested and probably
could be assisted in making out a tenta
tive program. The Junior prom should
'be kept as a feature of the Week-end..
I feel that discussion of the subject j
of Junior Week-end by the interfraterni
ty council, a committe appointed by the
student executive committee, and by the j
Emerald would tend to bring about ji
bigger and a better Junior Week-end.”!
Karl Onthank: ‘ ‘ Most of us agree
that it would be a pity to abolish Junior j
Week-end. It is worth holding on to'
but is has grown to the point where j
we should select the best elements and j
make changes which would eliminate the
heavy expense which the students must
undergo.
‘‘ The canoe fete is too elaborate and
expensive. It could be reduced as to I
the number of fleets whieh enter. Many
means could be used to make the whole
program less expensive as to time and
money. The guests might >be restricted
in some way the entertainment especial
ly should be limited to the Week-end.” j
• • •
Dean Straub: ‘‘There are two prin
cipal reasons why Junior Week-end
should be cut out. First, it is too ex
pensive. Second, the students are not
getting the benefit of it. They give
up their rooms to the guests, their part
ners for the prom, and the privilege of
seeing the elass play to their guests.
When the last guest is gone they throw
themselves down on their beds and say
thank goodness, that is over.” My idea '
is to have a jolly get-together of all the
students. Let’s make it so that what
we do in the way of entertainment and j
celebration will be for ourselves. / Let’s !
have it on Friday and Saturday only, j
Two days are sufficient.”
Dr. Bovaxd: * ‘ Some of the features
of Junior Week-end are important and
worth while. I should hate to see it j
go. The canoe fete is the apex of beauty
and artistry and affords great personal
eajovment to those who watch it. I
have not made a study erf the expense* of j

NUMBER 65
PLEA FOR CHINA TO
BE MADE BY HEAD OF
COLLEGE AT CANTON
Dr. Charles K. Edmunds Will
Tell How Oldest Nation
Is Endangered
CHANCE TO LEARN NEEDED
Better Educational Facilities
Sought; Assembly Speaker
Knows Country Well
“Democracy and the Far East” will
be the subject of an address by Dr.
Charles K. Edmunds, president of Can
ton Christian College of China, at to
morrow’s assembly.
Dr. Edmunds has traveled in all re
gions of China, and has made a study
of the present conditions which he
terms “intolerable.” His address today
he says, will present to the students,
“a grand kaleidoscopic panorama of
China from the Mongolian frontiers to
the mountainous stretches of Yunnan.”
“It is of the utmost importance that
the hands of the outside nations now
grasping at the throat of China be
wrestled from their quest of the very
life of the oldest of civilized nations,”
Dr. Edmunds has said, “and that the
'•ast democracy of the East be permit
ted to work out her destiny to the en
richment of the world at large.”
Traveled All Over China
Dr. Edmunds, who has spent the last
18 years aomng the Chinese, is well
known as an educator, and has had
an unusual opportunity to study the
conditions of the Orient, being connected
with the Magnetic Survey of China,
which is under the auspices of the Car
negie Institute. While in charge of this
survey, over 45,000 miles of territory
were traversed, and many unusual
places, which will be described in the
address, were visited.
“If China is given a chance, she will
make a wonderfully progressive na
tion,” Dr. Edmunds has stated, “The
Chinese people are anxious for an edu
cation, and the five million students
nre causing great congestion in every
institution of learning in the country.”
Details of the growth of educational
facilities, the needs of the students and
schools, and ways and means of extend
ing aid will be described during the
talk today.
Fifty Americans in Faculty
The Canton Christian College, in
Canton, China, was incorporated in
New York, and at present has a faculty
of 50 Americans and 50 Chinese, with
a student body of 1300.
President Edmunds is representing
the college on a lecture tour of this
country, in an effort to interest Ameri
can people in the needs of increased ed
ucational facilities in China, and r,o
impress the importance of the develop
ment of friendly relations with the
countries of the Far East.
The University orchestra will play
the selection from Victor Herbert’s
light opera, “The Only Girl.”

FEATURE WRITERS
Promotions Made; John Anderson How
Is Daily News Editor; George

announced in the news staff of the
Emerald after three weeks of tryouts
since the beginning of the term. In ad
dition to those named on the staff for
the first time several promotions have
been made from the news staff to the
upper staff.
John Anderson is to be on the staff
of Daily News Editors to fill the po

of Phil Brogan. Anderson has been a
night editor this year. George H. God
frey will fill a vacant position as night
editor.
The Hmerald is to have a regular
corps of special writers. For the pres
ent it will be composed of those who
have been contributing so far this
year. Ernest J. Haycox, who has writ
ten a number of articles, Mary Lou
Burton, formerly a special writer on the
Emerald, and John Dierdorff, also a

special writing work and his place as
News Service editor will be filled by
Alfred Erickson, a member of the news

INDIVIDUAL AWARDS
DISCUSSED BY W. A. A.
Elimination of Trophies to be Voted
Upon at Next Meeting; Harriet
Veazie Head of Walking
_ l
The Women’s Athletic Association
held their first meeting of the term
yesterday afternoon. The question of
the elimination of individual awards of
intrinsic value such as the tennis
racket, swimming suit and canoe pad
dles were discussed, and Harriet Veazie
was elected head of walking to take
the place of Frances Habersham, who
did not return to school this term.
The executive board of the associa
tion considered the question of elimi
nating such awards at their last meet
ing and yesterday afternoon placed it
before the members. The opinions ex
pressed by the girls were all in favor
of the plan on the grounds that the as
sociation should not have to bribe girls
to go out for athletics. It was sug
gested that the money used for these
awards should be spent for class and
house awards and thus a greater spirit
of cooperation and sportsmanship would
be developed. The question will be
voted upon at the next meeting.
FILIPINOS PLAN PROGRAM
Variety of Numbers Will be Given at
Meeting of Spanish Club
At the regular meeting of the Spanish
riub tonight at 7:30 the Filipino mem
bers of the elub will have charge of
the program. Felipe Gamboa is chair- J
man and has arranged an excellent pro- j
gram which will consist of songs, poems, j
and selections by the Filipino stringed j
orchestra. ‘
Besides the program, business of much
importance will be brought up and dis
cussed, and it is the request of Ive
Laine West that all members be preseat.
REALISTIC WEDDING
PLANNED FOR STAGE
OH CAMPOS TONIGHT
Barrie Play Full of Color
and Almost Unique in
Its Treatment
QUAINT COMEDY FEATURED
Hildegarde Repinen and Claire
Keeney Have Many Chances
for Effective Work
Shortly after the curtain rises on
Barrie’s “The Wedding Guest” tonight
in Guild hall a wedding so realistic that
the play can not be produced in Eng
land and Scotland because of the
strict laws there, will be seen. The
bride will be there with her nervous and
srcited attendants; the bridegroom
with his self assuming best man; the
father who can see a bright side to his
only child’s being married, and the
numerous quaint Scotch guests will all
gr to make one of the most distinctive
plays ever staged.
The play itself is a gripping problem,
and modern in every respect, ns it is
one of Barrie’s latest. Although the
plot may be much like those of other
plays of the type the handling is en
tirely new. The play is filled with
tense moments, and one could never
say he guessed the solution to the prob
lem before the end of the last act.
Claire Keeney will play the role of an
optimistic father who ns his daughter
leaves with her husband shakes his
head and says, “Not a cloud in the
sky.”
Unseen Cloud Hovers
But there was a cloud in the sky
in the form of Mrs. Kate Omnaney who
lnd loved Paul Digby, the bridegrooih,
before his marriage. She is the unex
pected guest at the wedding, nnd with
all happiness taken out of her life
She has it in her power to ruin two
other persons happiness. Her inward
8fruKK'e nnd her final decision offer
unusual opportunity for Hildegardc
Repinen, who has the role of Kate
Omnaney. Some very good work has
been done at rehearsals and Miss Repi
nen has shown herself exceptionally
well fitted for the part.
Lorna Coolidge, who starred in
“Swanwliite” last term, will play the
part of Margaret Eairbairn the young
bride, who has been kept away from all
things worldly.
Others in Cast
The artist who is loved by both wo
men will be played by Arthur Johnson.
The other members of the east are
Reverend Mr. Gibson, Virgil Mulkey;
the best man. Delbert Eaust; the brides
maid, Mabel Gilliam; Lady Dunwoodie,
aunt of Margaret, Margaret Nelson;
Meikle, the butler, John Ellestad; and
Jenny Geddes, Doris rirtenger. All
the members of the Company will take
some part in the play, nnd several of
the stars will have parts of the wedding
guests who have rio lines, but have
good opportunity for pantomine work.

ZIMMERN MAY LECTURE
PLAN SUGGESTED FOR BRINGING
OXFORD MAN TO CAMPUS
Students Probably Will Have a Chance
to Hear Eminent Schalor; Visit
of One Week Desired
The clinching of plans to bring Al
fred E. Zimmern, eminent British Hel
lenist scholar, to the campus for a week
of lectures with students awaits some
indication of student and faculty in
terest, is declared by the University
administration. The proposed visit of
the distinguished Oxford man is part
of a plan which has long been in the
minds of many in the University to
make possible as a means of intellectual
enrichments the visits of many such
men, eminent in their respective fields
both here and abroad
Mr. Zimniern is a young man whose
active nnd courageous thinking have
won him world-wide notice, and whose
knowledge of ancient Greece, of Oreok
government, and Greek ideals has
placed him high in the world of schol
ars. He is to come to the Northwest
under the auspices of Reed College, and
will be the guest of President and Mrs.
Richard Scholl while in Portland. The
plan of the University is to bring him
to Eugene, sponsored perhaps by some
campus discussion club of students or
faculty members, for a series of lec
tures which, of course, would be open
to the public without charge.
Such plans are followed by many of
the eastern universities and a few in
the west to meet the challenge of large
student bodies and diminishing personal
contact by turning both faculty and
student minds from class room routine
to fields beyond the confines of a few
restricted subjects.
Mr. Zimmern has been since 1019
Wilson Professor of International Poll
tics at the University of Wales. ITc is
n product of New College, Oxford,
where in 190.1, he was lecturer in an
cient history. During the war lie was
attached to the political intelligence
department of the British Foreign of
fice. Tie has visited many parts of the
world in search of recreation and so
has carried his ideas bv word of mouth
as well as by the printed page. TIis
books in the University library are:
“The Economic Weapon in the War
against Germany, “The Greek Com
monwealth, Politics and Economics in
Fif tli-century Athens,” “Nationality
and Government,” with other war time
essays,” and “The War and Democ
racy.” The latest was written in col
laboration with R. W. Setson-Watson,
T. Dover Wilson, and Arthur Green
wood.

CARDINALS DEFEAT
VARSITY ID SPEEDY
GAME, SCORE 32-29
McHose High Point Man For
Visitors; Rockhey Leads
For Lemon-Yellow
FINAL TILT TO BE TONIGHT
Late Rally By Oregon Most
Dramatic Incident Staged
on Floor This Year
The basketball team from Leland
Stanford Jr, University took the
opener from the varsity 33-29. The
game was bitterly contested through
out and was markdtl by a heart-break
ing finish in which a brilliant scor
ing spurt on the part of Oregon in the
final minutes of play failed to top the
Cardinals lead.
The game started fast with Captain
Davies of the visitors slipping in a
pretty field goal shortly after the open
ing whistle. Edlunds, starting at for
ward for Orogon, tied it up at two all
as soon as the ball was put in play
again and Marc Latham tied it again
after Janssen for the Cardinals had an
nexed two additional points. With the
score tied at four the visitors started
to step out and McHose, forward, ex
tremely youthful in appearance but
certainly aged in baskotball experience
started dropping them in from all an
gles. McIIose dropped in Bix beautiful
baskets in the initial canto and was
the prime factor in holding the Stan
ford lead.
Toward the end of the first period
with Stanford a long way ahead the
varsity stnrted a rally. Zimmerman
dropped in three and Rockhey hooped
another one and the whistle ended the
half with Van Gent’s men in the lead
18-16.
The second half was a replica of the
first with the visitors forging steadily
ahead until the minutes of play when
again tho Lemon-Yellow five playing
brilliantly came up from behind with
a salvo of clever baskets by Latham
and Rockhey. The closing spurt in
which the varsity unlimberod some real
basketball interspersed with speedy
floor work and henrt breaking shots
was the most dramatic incident of the
local season and brought the crowd to
its feet as the opposing teams checked
and passed through the last seconds of
play.
The game was very rough and thir
teen fouls were called on each aggrega
tion by Referee Coleman. For Stan
ford, Captain Jim Davies converted
four in eleven attempts, whilo his
speedy little running mate McHose was
unable to count in two tries. For tho
varsity, Rockhey annexed five points
by the free throw route in twelvo at
tempts while Franz Heller missed his
only try.
The Stanford forwards, Davies and
McIIose wero the whole show for the
visitors, they worked well together in
passing and checking and both showed
that they were exceptional shots.
Rockhey for Oregon played a brilliant
gamo at forward and Don Zimmerman
and Latham showed up well. Eddie
Edlunds playing his first gamo for the
varsity at forward was in the game the
first half and was working on tho ball
all the time. Rurnett at guard played
consistently, breaking up the visitors
formations nnd getting the ball,down
the floor.
For the Cardinals, McHose was high
man with 16 points, Davies runner up
with 12, for Oregon Rockhey led the
attack with 11 chalked up to his credit
with Marc. Latham a close second with
eight.
The two teams meet again tonight in
the final game of the series.
