Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY 7, FEBRUARY, 1922. y-V NUMBER 77" APRIL 14-15 DATES FOR CONFERENCES OF PREPPERS HERE Student Council and Faculty Will Discuss Details of Student Meetings Y. M.-Y. W. REPRESENTED Movies of Campus Scenes and Athletic Contests Will Be Part of Program April 14 and 15 were the dates set for the conferences of high school student body presidents, editors of high school publications and representative girls from the girls’ league organiza tions at a meeting of the committee from the student council and faculty representatives on Saturday. The en tire proposed plan was outlined and met with the hearty approval of all present, although there is much to be accomplished yet by the students and the faculty in order to work out all the details to make the conferences a success, according to those who have been instrumental in working out the plan. Lyle Bartholomew outlined the ad vantages possible for the high school executive officers to receive from such a conference, comparing it in scope to the Pacific Association of Student Body Presidents now existant among the colleges and universities of the Pa cific Coast. “Although the problems which confront the presidents of the high school student bodies will not be nearly as complicated as those of the college student executives,” he said, “they still have many questions which they can bring up and discuss in a conference of this nature which will be to their mutual advantage.” Preppers Like Idea President Bartholomew stated that he had already been in communication with a number of the student officers in various high schools in the state and that they were anxious to carry out the idea. Alfred Powers, representing the school of journalism, outlined the plan for the editors ’ conference and de clared that work had already begun on this conference and that the success of last year’s meeting of the high school editors assured another highly beneficial session this year. It is the plan to bring the associate editors of the high school publications to the campus as well as the editors in order that the points and suggestions on how they may better their publications, which they will get in such a confer ence, may be carried back into their work the following year. Plana for Women Are Made Ella Bawlings and Dean Fox out lined a tentative program for enter taining the girls who will meet and it is possible that the plan of the women's league in the universities and colleges may be carried into the high schools. It is hoped that this can be accom plished. In many high schools in the state there is at present a girls’ league and the conference will be of special benefit to representatives from these organizations. Dean Fox also raised the point of having a joint conference of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. representatives from the high schools here at the same time and the plan ir now being consid ered by the committee from the student council. Invitations Out Soon As a result of the conference with the heads of departments of the Uni versity it was decided by the commit tee to request letters from President Campbell to be sent to the high school spuerintendents throughout the state outlining the plans and programs of the conferences. Letters of invitation will also be issued by the Student Council to the various officers and representa tives at once. As a result of the discussion Satur (Continued on page four) FACULTY“FOREGOES DANCE Ban Put on Affairs Until Present Epi demic Shows Abatement Students who have complained loudly and long over the recent ban placed on college dances may be interested in knowing that they are not the only people who are foregoing the terpsi ehorean pastime. “In accordance with the spirit of the ruling of the Health Service, it seems best to postpone the meeting of the faculty dancing class until the epi demic has abated.” 80 reads the fac ulty bulletin, published Monday. Fac ulty members will be notified of the date of the next meeting. LIFE SAVING METHODS SHOWN IN WOMAN’S POOL Eed Cross Man Demonstrates How to Rescue Drowning Man; Girls Give Aquatic Program Collister Wheeler, of Portland, who has charge of the Red Cross life saving work, was on the campus Saturday and in the afternoon gave a demonstration of life saving and water first, aid methods in the women’s swimming pool. The part of the demonstration most in teresting to those who plan to spend ; their afternoons and evenings on the j millrace was his work with the canoe I which he had in the pool. He demon strated the proper method of righting a canoe, bailing out the water and get ting in again. Mr. Wheeler with the aid of John Palmer also showed how to break the hold of a drowning person, tow them to shore and what to do until the doc tor arrives. He gave the audience and the students who have passed the Red Cross life saving test many pointers of rescue work which are not included in the test. After the demonstration a number of the girls from the physical educa tion department and Miss Eva Shultz, a swimmer from O. A. C., gave a short program of swimming and diving. COON QUITS AS GLEE COUCH JOHN STARK EVANS TO SUCCEED SUCCESSFUL DIRECTOR Excellent Music Promised at Girls’ Concert March 4; New Stunt Is Feature Owing to the pressure of other work. Professor Leland A. Coon has resigned as director of the University of Oregon Women’s Glee club. The organization has been very successful under the di rection of Mr. Coon and the news of his resignation was received with a great deal of surprise and regret. Fortunately Professor John Stark Evans, who has been the efficient di rector of the Men’s Glee club for some time, has consented to act as director of the women’s organization. Mr. Evans has charge of the University vesper choir aj well as the Men’s Glee club and has proven himself a most able leader, so that it is indeed fortun ate for the Women’s Glee club as well as for the University that he has con sented to undertake this new work. The home concert of the Women’s Glee club will be given in the Women’s building on March 4. The girls are working very hard and some excellent music is promised. There are many whisperings of a new and mysterious stunt that is being evolved for this concert and further developments are being watched with a great deal of in terest. CAMERON SPEAKS TO CLUB Economics Professor Tells Klwanis of Municipal Ownership ' Prof. M. K. Cameron of the econom ics department of the University spoke before the Kiwanis clnb members at their weekly luncheon, held in the Hotel Osburn at 12:15 Monday after noon. In his talk, which was on “Condi tions Determining the Success of Mu nicipal Ownership,” Mr. Cameron stat ed that on the size and wealth of the city; on the intelligence of the voters, and on the honesty and efficiency of the city’s past government, as well as on the characteristics of the utilities desired for ownership, depended the advisability of municipal ownership. In conclusion he stated that all cities should have the power of ownership to use as a club on private companies.

UNIVERSITY GIVEN PRAISE BY AUTHOR ON FIRST TRIP HERE Mrs. Ellis Meredith Visiting in Eugene; Warner Gift Said Valuable CAPITAL HELD WONDERFUL Proceedings of Disarmament Conference Watched in Washington, D. C. Mrs. Ellis Meredith, prominent author, journalist, and pioneer suffrag ist, ■who is visiting Mrs. Murray War ner at 668 13th avenue east, was en thusiastic in her praise of the Univer sity, in so far as she has been able to view it since arriving several days ago. “You want to know what I think of the University? It would be presump tuous to hazard an opinion without very much more knowledge of the subject than I possess,” was Mrs. Meredith’s modest introduction. “You have a good site, wonderful trees, a fine Administration building, and a Woman’s building that must make every woman who sees it wish she were a girl, and an Oregon girl. Dean Fox is charming and to know Mrs. Campbell is a kind of a benediction. We have so many Colorado memories in common that we do not meet as strang ers, but almost like old friends. Mrs. Warner as Good Fairy “And then in Mrs. Warner the Uni versity seems to have found the good fairy who comes in late with some spe cial gift, all the more acceptable be cause so unexpected. I greatly doubt whether any museum in this country ever started with a collection of such value and such a uniform standard of excellence. I have forgotten the name of the Japanese statesman whd said: • In the fourteenth century we had won derful art—pottery that remains unex celled—paintings and sculpture and lit erature—were we then barbarians?’ I think Mrs. Warner feels that if the nations are ever to get together there must be a far better mutual under standing, and anything which con tributes to that goes just that far to ward the establishment of lasting peace.” Conferees Are Seen “To anyone who is interested in pol itics, especially in the larger sense,” continued Mrs. Meredith, “Washington has been’the most wonderful place Jn the world this winter. Even if one could not get more than a glimpse of the delegates to the disarmament con ference going into their meeting place, and in spite of the fact that they all seemed uncommonly able to keep their own counsel, there were various oppor tunities to both see and hear some of the real lions. “The Society of Friends rented a large house near the Army and Navy (Continued on page three) GLEE CLUB WILL APPEAR IN HEILIG FEBRUARY 15 Singers to Hold Preliminary Concert at Noon Luncheon Given by University Club Plans are progressing rapidly for the Men’s Glee club concert, which is to be given at the Heilig in Portland Wednesday, February 15. Indications, according to Art Rudd, manager, point to the most successful glee club concert ever held in Portland. As a preliminary to the affair in the evening, the club will sing at the Uni versity club luncheon Wednesday noon. Cards have been sent to all members, and a large attendance is expected. The concert will receive a great deal of publicity in the Portland papers, ami cards, printed in green ink, have been sent to over 800 Oregon alumni and ex students. The members of the glee club will leave here Wednesday morning and will return the next day in time for classes. Manager Rudd returned yesterday from a trip to southern Oregon and northern California, where arrange ments were made for an extensive glee club trip, to be taken later in the year. DR. EATON WILL NOT COME Dr. E. L. Eaton, of the University of Wisconsin, will not come to the cam pus this year to deliver a series of addresses aB was originally planned. Efforts are being made, however, to bring him out here early next fall. " 8cience in Everyday Life” is the title of Dr. Eaton’s series of addresses, which deal with science in relation to Christianity. Reports indicate that the lectures are received with enthusiasm every place they are delivered. GOOD WEATHER AIDS STUDENTS’ HEALTH; BAN MAT BE LIFTED Colds and Grip on Decrease; No Cases Serious; May Permit Dances INFIRMARY NOW EMPTYING Fewer III in Houses; Help Is Appreciated; Students Thanked for Cars The change to good weather seems to have brought with it a let-up in the epidemic of colds, grip, and coughs, which has been menacing the campus during the past two weeks. “The sit uation is clearing up very satisfactor ily,” said Dean John Bovard, yesterday afternoon. “The number of new cases is very small, and it seems as though the crest of the wave has passed. No definite statement ean be made at this time, however.” Committee Meets Today The University Health Committee meets this afternoon at 3:00 o’clock in Dean Bovard’s office, at which time the situation will be discussed and in vestigated from all angles, and it is probable that a decision will be reached concerning the time when the ban on dances and various social af fairs will be lifted. Organizations which have scheduled parties for this week-end are anxious to know the de cision of the committee. The ban has Resulted in the post ponement of many affairs during the past two week-ends. This will throw a large number of dances into a com paratively short period of time. How ever, the ban has been a great factor in putting a check to the rapidly spreading epidemic of bad health, and the University Health Service is high ly appreciative of the cooperation which the students have shown in this particular. Infirmary Not Crowded There are not as many outside cases of sickness now as there were during last week, and the infirmary is no longer full, according to information given out by Dean Bovard's office to day. Comparative figures will be available in a day or two. The student response, to the cnll for cars and drivers was excellent, states Miss Robertson, visiting nurse. Miss Robertson visited many students in the various fraternity, sorority and other houses where students live. JUNIORS DEFEAT SOPHS IN GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Senior Team Leads in Interclass Games, Victors in Yesterday’s Con test Rank Second The junior girls’ basketball team do feated the sophomore team yesterday afternoon by one point. The score was 20 to 19. This victory places the juniors second in the series with the seniors still leading. The game was hard fought through out and marked by the close guarding of both teams. The first half ended 9 to 15 in favor of the sophomores but with the begin ning of the second half Marjorie Flagel, junior jumping center, succeeded in keeping the ball at their end of the floor most of the time. Helen Glanz, sophomore forward, played an excep tional game, making all but two of the points for her team. The lineup was: Juniors (20) Sophomores (19) C. Howells, 10 .F... Helen Gian*, 17 H.

DISCUSSES NATIONAL CONVENTION AT MEETING Bungalow to Be Renovated for Coming of Northwest "Secretary, Feb. 14; Budget Is Short At the regular meeting of the V. W. 0. A. last Thursday, Glyde Scheubel, undergraduate representative, who re cently returned from the convention of Oregon undergraduate Y. \Y. 0. A. rep i resentatives at McMinnville, reported that the main business of the convon ! tion was the discussion of the national convention to be held April 20 to 27 at Hot Springs, Arkansas. Elsie I,aw rence, chairman of the finance com mittee, said that they are $560 short in the budget and that unless it is cov ered no representative can be sent to the convention. Miss Damon, the field secretary of the Girl Reserves for the Pacific Coast, told of the work being done by the younger girls. The Bun galow can have about $500 worth of new furnihliings, acceding to Glenn Frank, chairman of the Bungalow com mittee, because $50 was realized on the chrysanthemum sale, Homecoming, and $270 on the recent rummage sale. Tt is planned to have the furnishings ready when Alice Brown, northwest student secretary, is here February 14. NINETY STUDENTS NOW MAKING USE OF MONEY Part Being Reserved for Seniors Dur Ing Spring Vacation; Only $50 Lost In Past 10 Years The present, amount of the TTniver sitv’s student loan fund lias reached the $10,000 mark, according to Dean Straub, chairman of the student loan fund committee. About $9,000 of this is now loaned out to nearly 90 students, the remaining $1,000 being reserved for seniors who, during the spring term, may find themselves short, of the funds necessary to carry them on until gradu ation. Small additions to the fund have been made from time to time. The largest contribution was received from Max Hnndman, who graduated from the University in 1909 and who is now teaching in the University of Texas. He borrowed $100 from the fund while in college and when paying up his debt sent a $1,000 Liberty Bond for the fund. As a rule, freshmen are not given the benefits of the loan fund. Under un usual circumstances they may borrow $50 for three months. Sophomores may apply for a loan of $100, juniors as high ns $150 and seniors up to $200 but no one student is allowed more thnn $300. “The discouraging feature of the loan fund,” Dean Straub says, “is the lack of appreciation on the part, of the bor rowers to return loans when due. It is discouraging to have to write a student a half dozen times and finally end up by receiving nn unkind letter from the borrower. Students do not seem to realize that others are needing the money just ns they needed it. By ac tual observation T have found that less thnn 50 per cent of the loans are re turned of their own necord by borrow era.” Tn spite of this, Dean Straub snvs that in the last 10 years only $50 has been lost to the fund. ALBERT E. ROBERTS WILL ADDRESS NEXT ASSEMBLY Senior Secretary of Y. M. C. A. to Tell of Experiences; Well Known as Association Leader Albert E. Roberts, who for the last 18 years has been Senior Secretary for county work of the international com mittee of the Y. M. O, A., will address j the students at the regular assembly : next Thursday at Villard. His topic has not been announced but it is ex ! pected that he will recount some of 1 his experiences as senior secretary of j the association during the last two I decades. Mr. Roberta was a member of the government commission to study rural life in European countries, and in that capacity visited sixteen foreign lands. He is a momber of the National Ooun try Life association of which Secretary of Agriculture Wallace is chairman. He [has been Jntimatelv identified with I other societies devoted to the improve ment of country life. He has been famous as an outstanding speaker and I a man of pleasing and forceful person ality. The Interstate Y. M. 0. A. Associa J tion News says of him: “Ho is one of | the most eloquent speakers in ou • movement. Under his leadership the county work has been standardized and has gained recognition as one of the ! great departments of Association on : deavor.” Mr. L. P. Putnam, secretary of the campus Y M. C. A., knows Mr. Roberts personally and describes his ns one of ; the most dynamic speakers that he has | ever heard. He assures the student ! bodv that he is a speaker of the calibre nf .Tohn R. Mott, and that few addresses ■ which have been heard by students this year can rival the one which will I be given by Mr. Roberts. WASHINGrON FIVE Hums LEAD IN COAST CONFERENCE Idaho Has Perfect Percentage; Deciding Games on Feb 15, 16 OREGON IS STILL IN CELLAR Class Shown in Aggie Game; Rockhey Varsity Star, Gill for 0. A. C. Coast Conference Basketball Standings W. L. P.O. Washington .10 0 1000 Idaho . 4 0 1000 Oregon Aggies . 4 2 .667 Stanford . 2 3 .400 California . 2 3 .400 Washington State . 1 5 .166 Oregon . 0 10 .000 While Oregon was dropping a two game series to the Oregon Aggies last week-end the University of Washing ton Vikings were strengthening their lead on the Pacific Coast conference by cleaning up on the Pullman Cougars in two contests, 37-28 and 40-10. The Sun Dodgers havo now won ten and lost nothing, while the Demon-Yel low, now docorating the extreme bot tom of the list, has lost ten without a single win. Washington has yet two series to play. At Seattle they will tako on the Oregon Aggies in a two game tilt, then they will journey to Moscow to tangle with the Vandals on the 16th and 1 fith of this month. This will be the deciding series, as Idaho has won four without a loss in the Pa cific Coast conference and is tied with Washington for the top. Washington Men Stars The dope all points to Washington however, as they have a wonderful team, every man a point getter, while Tdnho’s strength is in a great pair of guards and a clever center, the for wards being rather mediocre when closely guaded. Saturday night the Idaho quintet lost their first collegiate game when they dropped a fast game to the University of Montana five, 26 22, at Missoula. Even should the Oregon Aggies be able to overcome the Sun Dodgers in their series at Seattle, the Vikings have won too many games and the Ags will not be able to boost their percentage high enough to draw the flag. O. A. O. Wins Game The closing game of the series be tween Oregon and O. A. C. played in the Armory last Saturday night, re sulted in a 35-18 win for the collegians. The game started fast with neither team showing superiority in tho first minutes of play. With the initial per iod half gone "Slats” Gill opened up for tho visitors and by hooping three difficult shots in succession, gave his team a substantial lead which remained unthreatened throughout the contest. Aside from the opening minutes of the game the Aggies showed superior ability in passing and shooting and kept the ball in the vicinity of their own basket during tho major portion of the set-to. Hjolto, the collegians’ lanky center, closely guarded, was able to get but throe bnskets, one in the first half and two in the second. “Slats” Gill, Captain Stinson’s lanky running mate at forward, was tho in dividual star of the game, securing six field goals, practically all from diffi cut angles. Gill was also high score man with tweve points to his credit, and Stinson, captain of tho invading quintet, was runner up with 11. Hadden Roekhey payed a nice game at forward for the Lemon-Yellow, the little fellow showing more class at the position than he has evinced thus far this season. Zimmerman and Latham kept Hjelto from running up a score as he did on the preceding night. Roekhey was high point man for the varsity with seven points to his credit and Andre runner up with three. (Continued on page four) NEGLIGENCE DUE TO “FLU” Sickness Prevents Students Paying Lab Fees; Five Reinstated Though funds aro short and “flu” holds sway, five unwise students of the 26 who were suspended from class upon non payment of lab fees, were lucky enough to have their petitions for re instatement granted. Their experience proves the old say ing that “a stitch in time saves nine,” and perhaps there has been a lesson learned, the additional feo and the red tape of petitioning being responsible. Who knows? However, it was reported that a few of the suspensions were due to illness and “flu” germs, and not to negligenee.
