Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1922. NUMBER 73 Greetings Are Extended to Barometer; Response Is First Message BASKETBALL RESULT SENT ^ Service Will Be Daily; Other Colleges Will Be Added to List in Short Time ♦ At exactly five o ’clock yesterday evening the operator in charge of the Emerald Radio Service station threw the switch, depressed the key, and with a heavy spark crashing from the swiftly revolving rotary gap, called station 7 Y J, at the Oregon Agricul tural college. Signing off, he threw the switch to receiving position and listened intently. In an instant there was an answering buzz in the receivers, and the operator rapidly wrote “7 A B K (Oregon’s call) de (from) 7 Y J (O. A. C’s call). Go ahead.” Emerald Sends First In virtue of having inaugurated the service the Emerald then sent the first message as follows: “To The Barometer, Greetings: May a spirit of friendli ness and cooperation between these "two great institutions of a great state be fostered and advanced by this achievement of a great feat in science, —the successful completion of this radio communication service. THE EMERALD.” This was answered by the Barometer as follows: “The Emerald, Greetings and congratulations upon the installation of your radio equip ment. May this new service be of great benefit to us both. THE BAROMETER.” Radio Service Open The Emerald radio service was of ficially open! Results of the basketball game with O. A. C. were transmitted and several news items were exchanged. Hereafter a regular schedule will be maintained. Other colleges will be added to the service so that news from the colleges will be ] inted in the Emerald the day after its occurrence instead of after a delay of several days, as is now the case with the mail service. FOUR FILMS BEING SENT TO EXTENSION DIVISION Julius Caesar, Last Days of Pompeii, Merchant of Venice and Pilgrim’s Progress to Arrive This Month Four films, “Julius Caesar,” “Last Days of Pompeii,” “Merchant of Ven ice,” and “Pilgrim’s Progress” will be sent to the extension division from New York on February 8, for use in the high schools of the state. An effort will be made to have these films shown in Villiard Hall before they are dis ■w tributed. Over 210 communities in Oregon are now using the 180 sets of various edu cational slides which are sent out free by the extension division to schools and churches. Mrs. Murray Warner is giving a set of slides and lecture on Japan to the extension division; Pro fessor Griffin, who has spent consider able time in China, is writing a lecture for a set of slides on China. Another set on the rice and silk culture in Japan to be made up specially in colors by H. Suito, a Japanese photographer and artist of Tokyo, may be secured through Dr. Frank R. Rutter. WARNER APPOINTED COACH Kerr, Thornhill, on Athletic Staff of Stanford University Stanford University, Palo Alto, Cal., ■peb. 2.—(P. I. N. S.)—Official an nouncement was made here last night of the appointment of Glenn “Pop” Warner to the position of advisory coach to cover a period of two years. Following a two year period as ad visory coach Warner will actively take over the reins for three years as head coach. For the next two years the position will be occupied by Andrew Kerr at present one of Warner’s assistants, while Thornhill, last year line coach for Center college, will act as assistant. Contracts with Pittsburg covering the next two years prevent Warner’s tak ing the reins over immediately, but ^ Kerr will use the famous Warner meth ods. Gene Van Gent, present coach has numerous offers from other schools, but has not yet accepted any definitely. Young Speaker Flees As Smoke Wakes Sleepers Speakers have been hissed off the stage by mad mobs and carried off because of stage fright, but few have had the experience of being smoked off by cigarettes dropped into their pockets. However, such was the ex perience of a student in a public speaking class yesterday morning. The student’s name started with A, so he was the first speaker of the morning. He was telling the sleepy class of the powers of Daniel Web ster as an orator when the smoke be gan to rise from his coat pocket. The frightened speaker was forced to leave Webster and run for the water, leaving the class ignorant of many of Webster’s virtues. HEALTH SITUATION BETTER DEAN FOX ASKS COOPERATION TO STAMP OUT EPIDEMIC Ban on Social Functions to Be Lifted Next Week if Conditions Improve Enough The health situation is greatly im- • proved, according to a statement given out by the University health service yesterday, but precaution is still neces sary to prevent a recurrence of the “flu” epidemic. Few cases of sickness are present in houses or halls, and the infirmary is not so crowded as it has been during the past two weeks. The ban prohibiting dances and social functions will remain in force for this week-end at least, the health service announces, though it may be lifted next week if conditions warrant it. Dean Fox, in a statement given out last night, asked that all students co operate with the health service, and refrain from attending any dances, or affairs where they will come in contact with crowds. If instructions are fol lowed this week-end, Dean Fox says, the ban may be lifted within a few days, and social functions permitted the latter part of next week. Dean Bovard, head of the University health service, also wishes it under stood that no dances or other affairs have the sanction of the University authorities, and that any affairs held are in violation of the instructions issued at the beginning of the present epidemic. A statement will be issued some time next week in regard to the lifting of the ban on all social functions. SCHENCK WRITES FOR FAR EAST MAGAZINE Mining Industry of Philippine Islands Reviewed; Cole Has Article on Alcohol as Fuel Recent issues of Trans-Pacific, a magazine devoted to the Far East and Australasia, carry articles by Hubert G. Schenck, geology major, and Howard I. Cole, former professor of chemistry here, who is now with the Bureau of Science of the Philippine Division of Mines. The article by Schenck, who spent a year in the Philippines doing geological work, reviews the mining industry in the Philippine Islands and is based on observation and statistics compiled by him while employed by the Philippine Division of Mines of the Bureau of Science. The output of mineral wealth for the Philippine Islands for 1920 was $3,805,385, according to the article, and over one million of this wealth repre sents the output of gold. Although there is a fairly large supply of iron ore in the islands very little of it is developed. Schenck draws the con- : elusion in his article that although the islands are not now economically inde-1 pendent, that with the application of capital they could very easily reach that condition. The article by Mr. Cole pertains to the use of fuel alcohol derived from vegetation such as palms in the Philip pine Islands. The writer believes that all fuel needed for motive purposes in the islands could be obtained from this j source. 26 STUDENTS SUSPENDED Payment of Fees with Dollar Tax Will Prevent Loss of Grades Twenty-six students were automatie allv suspended from the University af ter February 1 for failure to pay their laboratory fees. Notices have been mailed to the de linquents, informing them as to the pro cedure for reinstatement. By paying their fees with an additional dollar for late payment they regain student standing. They must then immediately i petition the registration committee, of , which Dean Dyment is chairman, that their hours be not forfeited. Most students failed to pay either because of lack of funds or because they did not know that certain sub jects required fees. t COUNTRY COnSIII’ TO BE STAGED BT Student Body Play Scheduled for February 25: Large Cast Announced MISS BANFIELD DIRECTING Nels English, Marian Taylor to Play Heavy Roles in Production Booth Tarkington’s “Country Cousin’’ has been selected as the first student body production of the year, according’ to Charlotte Banfield, of the department of drama and speech arts, who is to direct the play. The drama will be produced under the auspices of Mask and Buskin and the roles will include many campus stars and Guild hall fav orites. It will be given in the Eugene | theatre February -5. Ogden Johnson, who has not been seen in a campus production for some time, can be remembered by many as a campus ( dramatic favorite, will play the part of George Tewkesberrv Reynolds a conven tional New Englander visiting in the West. Marian Taylor plays the country cousin who proves that there can be as much culutre in the West as in New England. Marion Taylor played many delightful parts on the Guild hall stage last year. Eleanor Houitt, the cousin of Nancy Price, the country girl, will be played by Doris Pittenger and the over-ambitions country boy who loves her will be played by Nelson English. Clarie Keeney, who has without a doubt been more popular on the Guild hall stage than any one else for the last three years, will be seen again in the interesting role of Mr. Houitt. Hildegarde Repinen will play the role of Mrs. Houitt. Miss Repinen has done some remarkable work in dramatics this year. The other members of the cast are: Athalia Wainwright, Star Norton; Mrs. Jane Kenney, Florence Cartwright; Cyeil Keeney, Ray Dunn; Mrs. Maud Houitt, Catherine Pinneo; Archie Goar, Verne Fudge; and Pruitt, Berrian Dunn. The play is supposed to take place in a small town in Ohio during the late war. It has been played a great many times all over the United States during the last few years and has always been successful. Alexandra Carlisle and Eu gene O’Brien starred in the play when it was first produced in New York. JUNIOR JAZZ DRAWING MADE IN SPITE OF BAN Saturday, February 11, Date Set for Annual Costume Jinx; All Garbs Not Unconventional Barred “Anyone coming to the Junior lottery dance in a recognizable condition will be ejected,’’ is the way Ivan McKinney in charge of arrangements, characterized the crowd expected at the Junior Jinx to be held at the men’s gymnasium February 11. “We are going right ahead with ar rangements regardless of the present day ban on dances,’’ said McKinney, “and it will be our hard luck if we can’t hold the hop. The drawing has been made and the names will be printed in to day ’s Emerald. ’ ’ The dance program will contain every thing from the Paul Jones to the latest bug of the boulevard, say the wearers of the cords. “Scads of Paul Joneses, men’s tags and women’s tags. And since it is to be a costume dance the women will have to take their part in the tagging,’’ said an euthuiastic upper classman. “This is a strictly hard time costume hop,” said Tom Wyatt, class president. Anybody coming in all dressed up and looking for introductions is liable to be —well—well, it’s up to them. ’ ’ A number of juniors’ names may have been overlooked and if so do not appear in the list. Members of the arrangement committee ask those whose names do not appear in the published list to either turn in their names or to bring whoever they please, junior or otherwise. The committee also urges that the men call their partners up as soon as possible so that if there are some who do not wish to go to the dance their chance partners can arrange for another escort. WOMEN GET HIGHER AVERAGE TUAN MEN FOR FAEIJUARTER Scholarship of Undergraduates Below That of Graduates; Girls Make 3.29 ALL-UNIVERSITY MARK 3.53 Men Held Less Conscientious in Work; Grading System Said to Be Bad Women averaged higher than men, and graduates higher than undergradu ates, for the fall term, according to sta tistics given out yesterday at the regis trar's office. The all-university aver age, including both men and women, was 3.511, the men making 3.75, and the women 3.29. The record stands as follows: Graduate men’s average ..'. 2.22 Graduate women’s average . 2.13 Graduate students’ average . 2.19 Undergraduate men’s average. 3.89 Undergraduate women’s average.... 3.32 Undergraduate students’ average 3.57 General Average Given Undergraduate and graduate men’s average ., 3.75 Undergraduate and graduate wom en’s average . 3.29 All-university average . 3.53 Last year at this time the all-univer sity average was 3.52, but comparisons are impossible, the registrar states, be cause the entire situation is altered. Last year conditions were counted as VI and failures as VII, while this year failures are averaged in as VI, and con ditions are eliminated. Girls More Strict “Girls have stricter house rules, and more respect for ideals of scholarship,” said Mrs. George Fitch, assistant to the registrar, in commenting on the averages. “Boys are less conscientious and more independent of the instruc tor’s idea of what is important. They do not apply themselves as much to the work ns a whole as to the part of it in which they are interested. The result ing unevenness lowers the grade. Then, too, if a boy begins to flunk he flunks in almost everything, while a girl sal vages some of the hours.” Grading Held Unscientific The boys may find some comfort in the fact that a grade may not be a fair index of what they know. Penn Colin V. Dyment says: “The grading system is an unscien tific method of measuring a student’s knowledge. However,” he concluded, “it is the best system devised thus far and the only one in this stage of the University’s development that would not prove ruinous. It was a great step forward when the University made grading more competitive bv publish ing results.” HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WILL MEET ON CAMPUS Plans Under Way For Conference of Officers, Editors of Annuals and Papers Ella Rawlings, Helen Carson, Lyle Bartholomew and Floyd Maxwell will meet tomorrow morning at 11 o’coek in Dean Straub’s office to discuss plans for a conference of high school officers and editors which will be held on the University campus early in March.

Lemmy and His New Suit to Be Out Next Week Lemrny will be on the campus Mon day or Tuesday dressed in a new suit, from cover to cover. The little fel low’s entire makeup has been changed so that he now resembles his older brothers in the comic family. The “Inevitable” number will be the title of the joy-maker this issue. The theme is borne out by clever art and high grade literary work. “Bee" Morrow has depicted the inevitable manner in which love-making will be done in the future, in a full-page piece of art. “Doc” Braddock also contributes a full page this number. On the cover, done by Ray Bethers, the cemetery plays the leading role, with the inevitable lovers and the moon hanging over the Ad building. John Dierdorff bursts forth in rhyme, in the Walt Mason style, with a fea ture that has the tone of the maga zine and is exceptionally well done. Camcross also breaks out with a very grave discussion, in lecture form, which treats the subbject of Ro mance. But Lemmy must have a few seri ous characteristics to remain intel lectually balanced, so the Editor and the Cynic have filled a page with editorials on current campus prob lems. Thus loaded down with smart copy and a new grade of paper Lemmy will appear looking so good he may need an introduction.

AGGIES WALK OFF WITH FIRST TILT 01 SUE OF 391019 Lemon Yellow Basketeers Are Outclassed by Superior Passing and Hooping SECOND HALF HARD FOUGHT Hjelte Is Outstanding Star of 0. A. C. Team; Latham Is Strong in Last Half The Oregon Aggies took the first of the two game series from the varsity five last night by a 39-19 score, which is a mild count from the way things started in the first half, the Orange and Black tossers running it up 17-1 in the first ten minutes of play. It looked then as though the Lemon-Yellow would be snowed under but the varsity came back strong in the final period and with the count 30-7 at the opening whistle, secured 12 points to their op ponents’ 7. Tho invading quintet opened the game with a rush and kept the ball in thoir territory most of tho time during the first period. Hjelte, the Ag’s rangy center, annexed seven baskets in the initial canto, while Captain Stin son at forward added nino points in this half. During the early part of the game tho Orange and Black tossers completely outclassed in every depart ment of play. Many Substitutes Used Numerous substitutions were made by both coaches, Bohler using ten men during the course of the game while in the final minutes of play Coach Ruth erford sent in an entire new lineup. For tho Aggies their center, Hjelte, was tho outstanding star, the big fellow securing nino field goals and proving a mighty factor in breaking up Oregon plays and keeping the ball in O. A. C. territory. The visitors’ forwards, Cap tain Stinson and “Slats” Gill worked smoothly, both men being fast and ac curate shots, while Richards at guard showed up to advantage. Marc Latham showed some real class in tho last half of the game and held the lanky Hjelte down to two field goals, securing four himself. As the final whistle blew Ralph Couch at guard for the varsity dropped one through the net. the ball being in the air as the whistle blew. Oregon Comes Back The rcmarknblc feature of the game was the strong comeback Oregon made in the last half after being so com pletely outclassed in the first period.
