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

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.
DOSCH’S WORK EXHIBITED
Statues Shown in Portland; Sculptor
Tonnerly Instructor Here
An exhibition of the works of Bos
well Holt Dosch has been recently held
in Portland. Boswell Dosch was a
gifted young sculptor who established
the department of modeling and free
hand drawing at the University, and
also did special work in Portland in
the University extension work. He
studied in Paris, at the Sorbonne, under
the famous sculptor Bodin and his great
pupil, Bourdelle.
Mr. Dosch was chosen by Bourdelle
from a class of 150 students to be one
of four private pupils. It was after
his return to America that he accepted
the position at the University. The
war cut short His career and prevented
his return to Europe. He died in 1918
of pneumonia at his home in Portland.

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.

large house near the Army and Navy

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.

Y. W. 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

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

famous as an outstanding speaker and
I a man of pleasing and forceful person
ality.
The Interstate Y. M. 0. A. Associa

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

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.

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.
