NUMBER 76
■ESS ASSEMBLY
HERE NEXT MONTH
Authority on Greek History,
Now in West, to Be Asked
to Visit Campus
GROUP TALKS ENCOURAGED
Definite Date Not Yet Decided;
Athenian Democracy Is
Theme of Books
In all probability, Dr. Alfred E.
(Zimmern, noted scholar and student of
Greek history, will be brought to this
campus during his extended stay in
the northwest. As a result of the idea
suggested by the Emerald two weeks
ago, the University is today getting in
touch with President Scholz of Beed
College, who is bringing Dr. Zimmern
to this section of the country.
Dean Dyment is in charge of the ar
rangements which are being made to
have Dr. Zimmern visit the University.
A letter has been received by him from
Dr. Scholz to the effect that the latter
met Professor Zimmern in Montreal on
his trip East and has brought him to
Portland with him. The University of
Washington is asking Dr. Zimmern to
•come there to deliver a series of lec
tures. Since his time is much in de
mand, the University of Oregon may
have to suffice with but a short visit.
Group Meetings Asked
“Our intention,” announced Dean
Dyment yesterday, “is not to ask Dr.
Zimmern here for the sole purpose of
speaking in assembly. We hope that
he will get together with groups of
■students who are interested in him and
his work. The students will be en
couraged to hold open house and meet
ings of various kinds and ask Dr. Zim
mern to talk to them. Dr. Zimmern
will be brought to the campus under
the auspices of the general University.”
No definite date has been set for his
coming, but it is hoped that it will be
early next month.
Dr. Zimmern has been, since 1919,
professor of international politics at
the University of Wales, Aberystwyth.
He was educated at Winchester, New
College, Oxford. He was lecturer in
ancient history at New College in 1903;
fellow and tutor from 1904-1909; Uni
versity secretary of joint committee on
Oxford and working class education
from 1907-1908. From 1912-1915 he
was staff inspector of the board of
education. He was with the govern
ment political intelligence department,
foreign office, in 1918-1919.
Spends Long Time at Reed
Upon announcement that he was
•coming to the west to lecture, the Reed
College Quest appeared with the fol
lowing article: “Lectures by Dr. Al
fred E. Zimmern on international rela
tions will be included in a course in
World History since 1870, if present
plans materialize. Dr. Zimmern, who
is expected to spend six weeks at Reed
during February and March, is coming
straight from the Arms Conference and
is an authority on vital world problems
of the present day.”
Dr. F. G. Young of the University
department of sociology speaks highly
of Dr. Zimmern. “For the student body
of the University of Oregon to miss
meeting and conferring with Alfred E.
Zimmern,” he says, “would be an un
pardonable calamity for both. Oregon

ASCETICISM GREAT HELP
TO INDIA SAYS STUDENT
Kanshi Bam, Journalism Major, Tells
of Wonderful Results Gained
from This Practice
“Asceticism can perform wonders,”
said Kanshi Ram, a major in journal
ism from India, when questioned by a
student yesterday. “Asceticism has
made many things possible and has
brought about undreamed of unity be
tween the Hindus and the Mohamme
dans. Asceticism has waved a wand of
magic over the people of India, regard
less of caste, creed and religion, and
has inflamed the candle of national
spirit into the hearts of male and fe
male alike.
“Asceticism is not a strange thing
for the people of India. It was prac
ticed by their forefathers in times past,
and has convinced its followers that
it can accomplish the most difficult
things. Even the new spirit of nation
alism is the outcome of this practice.”
India, as described by Mr. Ram, is
today the most interesting and wonder
ful country in the world and the victory
of asceticism over force, he says, will
teach the world a lesson which will
gradually give the politically dependent
nations a hope of gaining their natural
birthrights bv peaceful means without
resorting to bloodshed.
A. E. ROBERp) SPEAK
TRAVELING REPRESENTATIVE OF
Y. M. C. A. ON CAMPUS
“The Challenge of the Country” Is
the Topic Announced for
Student Assembly
Albert E. Roberts, who arrived in
Eugene from Corvallis last night on
his scheduled speaking tour throughout
all of the western and Pacific states,
will appear before the student assem
bly. He is traveling under the auspices
of' the Y. M. C. A.
Mr. Roberts was interviewed last
night at the Osburne hotel, shortly af
ter he arrived. The topic previously
announced for the speaker was “The
Challenge of the Country.” Mr. Put
nam of the University Y. M. C. A. was
with the reporter and when he an
nounced to Mr. Roberts the speaking
program of the Eugene high school, the
University, the Chamber of Commerce,
and the city Y. M. C. A., arranged for
him tomorrow, Mr. Roberts stretched
himself easily in his chair and smiled
in a way which, if it were not for the
triteness of the words, would be called
frank and engaging. Mr. Roberts came
west to Seattle some two weeks ago to
rest, but was rushed off on a 2 o’clock
train to make a speech at a boys’ con
ference at Centralia, a few days after
his “rest” had begun, and has been
traveling practically day and night
ever since. Two sunrises seldom find
him in the same town, but he seems to
thrive on it, for he is a man who has
that “glorious feelin ’ ” about his work.
Mr. Roberts spoke earnestly about his
work. “I believe that the life of a
country lies in its rural population,
like the giant of old who drew his
strength from mother earth. T am
aware that I am speaking to a Univer
sity audience; agriculture is but a part
of country life. The professions are
needed as well; a doctor, a good old
fashioned country doctor, or lawyer, or
banker with the community interests at
heart is what America needs. H. G.
Wells was right when he said that
Charles Evans Hughes and Warren G.
Harding came out of Main street, and
that when he came to think of it, |
Nazareth wasn’t such a metropolis
either. We must feel that when we are
doing our little bit, we are working
with Almighty God. City life of to
day is religiously, socially, morally,
and mentally artificial; what the coun
try offers to the young men and women
of today is the kinship of the brother
hood of production.”
Watchman, Nine Years on Job
Misses Students in Vacation
“You know, it’s a peculiar thing,
but all the nine years that I have been
on the job I haven’t had any trouble
nor haven’t seen any trouble. There
have been fellows on the job who have
seen it. but they were looking for it.
I don’t look for it and haven’t seen
any yet.” 6. W. Brad way, night
watchman of the Oregon campus, was
talking about his work the other night
to a reporter who sought an interview.
He had just settled down for a ten
minute rest in the boiler room before
starting on his second tour of the col
lege grounds. After several unsuccess
ful attempts at lighting his pipe, he
finally got it to draw, straightened up
in his chair and continued:
“Yes, sir, it’s a peculiar thing, but
I’m glad of it because I get along so
well with the students and the faculty.
“You can bet that there are times
when I like to work better than others.
This is the lonesomest place I ever saw
during vacation. I don’t see anything
or anvbodv. When school is on there’s
lots doing and everything is lively,
then all of a sudden everything shuts
down and the place is deserted. I sure
do miss the students then.”
A trial showed the speaker that his
pipe had again lost its fire, and another!
hunt for a match that would light com
menced.
Mr. Bradwav has been making his
beat regularly six days out of the week
since February 1, 1913. In his rounds
he visits every building north of Thir
teenth street, enters every rooib and
locks every window and door. One
hundred and thirteen keys attached in
bunches to his belt enable him to carry
out this task. He has had to use every
one of them so many times that he is
able to pick out any desired key merely
by its position on the belt.
The merry jingle made by this col
lection at every step and the brightness
of the lantern he carries always an
nounces Mr. Bradwav’s approach.
The campus was mueh different nine
years ago when Mr. Bradwav first took
up his duties as watchman. He said
that it was much smaller as far as the

STUDENT COUNCIL
RESENTS ACTION OF
FRATERNITY GROUP
Resolution Condemns Act of
Representatives in Not
Recognizing Authority
SATURDAY CLASS PROBED
New Faculty Plan Discussed;
Student Opinion on
Matter Sought
Resoutions expressing regret at the
action taken by the Interfraternity
council in its recommendations to the
junior class on Junior Week-end were
passed last night at the regular meet
ing of the student council. The reso
lution as passed by the student council
follows:
“The student council regrets exceed
ingly the action of the interfraternity
council in passing resolutions to be
submitted to the junior class in regard
to Junior Week end. The council feels
in taking this action that the matter of
Junior Week-end had been discussed
thoroughly in its several meetings and
that it had interpreted campus senti
ment, which had been expressed in the
meeting of the heads of houses and
others, in making the recommendations
to the junior class at its last meeting.”
Action of the student council to this
effect was taken following the passage
of resolutions by the Interfraternity
council because the official represen
tative organization of the students felt
that their recommendation to the junior
class expressed the sentiment of the
campus and that the opinion of the
heads of houses, as expressed at a meet
ing of that group, was included in the
recommendation which they submitted.
The adverse action of the Interfrater
nity council at a meeting after the stu
dent council had passed on the Junior
Week-end question was interpreted to
be presuming in character and without
regard for the authority of the officers
elected by the student body at large.
Saturday Classes Proposed
Representatives of the faculty, which
is behind a plan to institute the holding
of Saturday morning classes on the
Oregon campus, will be invited to a
special meeting of the student council
next week, the exact date of which has
not been arranged, to explain to the
student representatives their reasons
for the proposed change in class
schedules. This decision was reached
following the discussion of the proposed
plan by the student council. The coun
cil also passed a resolution asking Pan
hellenic, Y. W. C. A., Woman’s League,
Girls’ Oregon club, Y. M. C. A., Inter
fraternity council, Tre Nil and Men’s
Oregon club to make an expression of
the views of the membership of those
organizations on the Saturday class
plan at the next regular meeting of
the student council, either by written
resolution or by sending a representa
tive to the meeting. The organizations
included are considered to represent the
entire student body and to therefore
express the sentiment of the campus.
Music Plan Favored
Sanction of a proposal made by Dean
John Landsbury, of the school of music,
at a recent meeting of the council, by
which the concert series brought to the
University campus each year under the
influence of the school of music should
be turned over to the student body to
be handled by that body as a means of
benefit to the University glee clubs,
orchestra and band, was approved by
the council* The council reserved the
right to oppose any plan which could
not be satisfactorily worked out with
out adding to the entrance fee already
paid by the students.
At present the plans under consider
ation are for the University to take
care of the fund for this purpose from
the laboratory fees required of the
students or for an increase of about
50 cents in the student body fee. Mem
bers of the student council were strong
lv opposed to any plan which would
increase the fees.
Self-Government Discussed
Student self-government, now being
considered seriously for the associated
students, was discussed by the council,
with the result that a committee com
posed of Floyd Maxwell, Ella Rawlings
and Maurice Eben, was appointed to
investigate thoroughly student self
government and to secure copies of con
stitutions and other information from
the institutions in this eoutrv where
student government is now in effect.
The committee on concessions, repre
sented by Ella Rawlings, reported that
Pot and Quill had been granted the
privilege of selling candy on the cam
pus on February 14.
SEEN THREE NIGHTS
Campus Stars Take Part in
Play to Be Presented
February 15-17
HISTORICAL PLOT IS TAKEN
Political Intrigue Chosen as
Theme of Story; Humor
Is Introduced
When “Disraeli," the play by Louis
N. Parker which was ro successful as
a commencement play last Juno, is pro
(iuced again on the campus, it will be
played three nights instead of the usu
al two. February 15, 16, 17 are the
dates set for the production, in which
Fergus Keddie, Charlotte Banfield,
Irene Stewart, Claire Keenoy and sev
eral other Guild theater stars will be
seen. The faculty and the students are
taking an added interest in the drama
tic productions on the campus and it
has been impossible to accommodate all
those who wished to see the play in two
performances. During two of the last
plays many persons were turned away.
It is felt that the new arrangement will
prove satisfactory.
Plot Is Historical
The play tells the story of the dif
ficulties through which Disraeli was
forced to go before he could secure
control of the Suez canal for England.
The main interest of the plnv lies in
the personality of Disraeli himself, Mrs.
Travers, played by Charlotte Banfield,
is the Russian spy who adds much to
the suspense and tenseness of the play.
Sir Micheal Probert, played by Edwin
Keech, cannot see the possibilities in
the Suez canal and does all in his
power to make the deal impossible, but
even he is unable to cope with the
clever ingenuity of Disraeli. Claire
Keeney as Lord Deeford, stupid but
well meaning, offers much amusement
with his model cottages for the peas
ants, but with an offered opportunity
he shows what he can do and before the
play ends he is quite a hero.
Stewart Is Seen
Irene Stewart will again be seen in
tli# role of Lady Bevensey, a great ad
mirer of Disraeli and an extremely at
tractive young girl who is quite modern
for her time and who adds much to
the novelty of the play. Hugh Myers,
the man who made it possible for the
canal to be purchased, will be played
by Darrell Larsen.
The other members of the cast, all
of whom have been seen in Guild thea
ter productions this year, are: Lord
Cudworth, Joe Clark; the Duchess of
Glastonbury, Margaret Nelson; Lady
Cudworth, Sadye Eccles; Lord Brook,
Vern Fudge; Lady Brooke, Betti Kessi;
the Duke of Glastonbury, Harold
Brown; Lady Beaconsfield, Elizabeth
Melis; Bascot, Virgil Mulkev; Mr. Fol
janhe, Arthur Johnson; Potter, Wade
Kerr; Flukes, John Ellestad; and the
footman, Joe Clark. The court attend
ants and foreign potentates will bo
played by the remainder of the coin
panv.
STRAY NOT FROM PATH,
ASKS CAMPUS GARDENER
Don’t Cut Comers and Keep Off Newly
Plowed Ground If You Would
Have Beautiful Lawn
“If students only knew liow much
trouble they cause those who take care
of the campus lawns, they would be
more careful about cutting corners and
walking on the grass,” said Donald F.
Shepard, campus gardener, when inter
viewed on the question of keeping the
campus beautiful. One of the greatest
faults that the average student has is
to walk across plots of soft ground
where grass seed has just been sown.
All transgressions on the Univerity
lawns are not committed by students,
said Mr. Shepard. One ease cited was
that of riding a horse over the new
lawn in front of the Woman’s building.
Another place was shown the Emerald
reporter where someone had walked
and wheeled a bicycle over a portion
of the new lawn around Susan Camp
bell hall.
Footprints of the girls as well as
those of the men are very much in evi
derce in many places, says Mr. Shep
ard, and especially on some grass plots
near Mary Spillar hall and near Presi
dent Campbell’s residence. Automobile
drivers are also very careless about
staying on the driveways and it has
therefore been necessary to fence off
some of the paces around the Women’s
building, pointed out Mr. Shepard.
Male Seniors
Preparing for
A Grand Rush
BY SENIOR SLEUTH
Sombrero dealers have reported a
marked inerc&se iii sales since the an
nouncement in Wednesday's Emerald of

OREGON ATHLETES
STAGE WHOLESALE
INVASION OFO.A.C.
Varsity and Frosh Quintets
and Mat Squads to Clash
With Aggie Teams
BUSSES TO CARRY PLAYERS
Bohler to Take 8 Men for Each
Game; McKeown to Grapple
in Bradway’s Place
Oregon athletic teams will make a
wholesale invasion of the O. A. C. camp
this week-end. The predominating at
traction over there will be the two
game series between the Lemon-Yellow
and Aggie varsities on Friday and Sat
urday nights, with the frosh basketeerg
journeying over again to try conclu
sions with the rooks in a two-game
series. A wrestling squad of 12 men,
varsity and freshmen, will make the
trip to try conclusions on the mat with
the farmers.
Busses will bo utilized to convoy the
athletes to and from the Benton county
seat, tho players returning immediately
after the gamo on Friday night, and
go back again Saturday afternoon for
the closing game of tho series. One
bus will take the basketball players
over and another will carry tho grap
plers over Saturday morning.
Teams Not Yet Picked
Eight varsity basketball men will
make the trip each night, but Ceach
Oeorge M. Bohler has not yot picked
the ones for the game on Friday night.
Probably different combinations will
be taken each night and as many of
the squad as can be takon will make
the trip.
Seven frosli basketeers will accom
pany the varsity each night and the
frosli-rook contest will serve as a cur
tain raiser to the big games both nights.
The wrestling matches will be held
Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the
O. A. C, gymnasium, and will consist
of both Varsity and freshman events.
Wrestlers Not Chosen
While the wrestlers have not yet
been definitely picked, the Varsity will
be represented by practically the same
team which went on with the Aggies
here last week-end, with the exception
of Ray McKeown, who is scheduled to
take Bradway’s place in tho heavy
weight division, Bradway being out for
the season with a bud ear.
The freshmen grapplers will be
chosen from among the following:
Zachary, Prescott, Bliss, Lundburg,
Vester, Robertson, Loo, and Bumption.
Score will not be kept on the freshmen,
according to Barnes, for the purpose
of the moot is to give the freshmen
who show natural aptitude for wres
tling, some experience for next year's
Vursity.
GRIFFE8 CONCERT POSTPONED
Word has boon received by Doan
John T. Landsbury of the University
school of music that the Uriffes group

ruary 8, as scheduled. The group is
comprised of Olga Steob, pianist; Edna
Thomas, contralto; and Mascha Jacob
inoff, violinist. Tho schedule of the
northwest tour of these artists has been
changed owing to sickness. It is doubt
ful whether arrangements can bo made
for the trio to appear here later.
Mrs. Hempy Supplies Memory of
Forgetful Girls in Gym Classes
Tlic freshmen and sophomore j;irlH!
who are subjected to three hours of I
gymnasium every week would have a i
sorry time if it wore not for Mrs. Ora
F. Hempy, who has served in the ca
pacity of lost and found department,
general information bureau, and moth
erly adviser in the women's gymnas
| ium for the past four years.
This was the conclusion arrived at
I by a reporter as she watched the hurry
, and scurry in the basement of the
! Woman’s building preceding a fresh
i man gym class.
“There are so many little things I
i can do to help the girls out,” Mrs.
Hempy explained after the last girl
j had rushed up the stairs.
Upon inquiry it was learned that one
j of the “little things” was no less than
I the restoration to its owner of a dia
mond ring, and quite often she is re
sponsible for coats and books finding
their owners.
Often some poor freshman or even
sophomore comes rushing up to her desk
with the pitiful tale of “My middy
didn’t get back from the laundry” or
“I simply can’t find my shoes and I’ve
cut four times already, and if I cut
again I’ll get a flunk.” On such oc
casions Mrs. Hempy supplies the miss
ing article and the wearer goes on her
way rejoicing.
“I always keep a complete outfit on
hand for just such emergencies,” she
explained. “And then thero are al
ways lockers to be unlocked. The girls
will forget their keys.
“They are all splendid though, and
very seldom forget to wring out their
swimming suits, or leavo their things
lying around,” she continued. “We
have been able to do away with the
pound which was so popular in the old
building.
“Do you know many of the girls by
their names, Mrs. Hempyf the reporter
asked, and she was assured that before
a girl had remained in school very long
she was called by her first namo around
the gym.
However, Mrs. Hempy does not be
lieve that the girls of the classes of
'24 and ’25 are any more orderly than
those of previous years, but attributes
the change to the fact that they have
more room and bigger iockers.
