Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 16, 1922. NUMBER 81 PIONEER AUTHORITY ON INDIANS, DAME AND FISH 10 TALK Senator John Gill, Portland, at Assembly Today, Well Known as Legislator FLUENT IN EXPRESSION Years of Study and Extensive Reading Add to Ability on Platform “How Our Hidians Lived” will be the topic of Senator John Gill, of Portland, in his address to the assembly this morning. Senator Gill, who is nationally known as an authority on American In dians, is the author of a dictionary of Chinook jargon. His talk will deal with the interesting customs and mode of liv ing of the northwest Indians, and will include many interesting sketches of h' travels. The lecture will be illustrated with several charcoal drawings. ‘ ‘ Senator Gill is without doubt one o1 the most interesting men in the North west,” said Karl Onthank, who knows Mr. Gill personally, ‘1 and since he is an excellent speaker, his address will, I am sure, be rated by the students as one of the best of the year. Besides being an authority on Indians, and outdoor life in general, he is a deep student and is very much interested in the University.’' Searched Far for Material The fish and game of Oregon have been extensively studied by Mr. Gill, and he is regarded by all who know him as one of the highest authorities in the country on this subject. His search for material has led him into many strange and wild places, which he will describe in his talk today. JDr. J. F. Bovard, dean of the school of physical education, says of Mr. Gill’s ability as a speaker: “His talk will not only prove intensely interesting, but un usual as well. Years of study have given him a thorough understanding of his subject, which, coupled with his remark able ability of expressing his ideas, makes him a speaker who will be re membered. ’ ’ Learns Language on Streetcar In addition to being very well read, Mr. Gill knows several foreign languages, most of which he learned during his spare moments. Is is said of him that he learned Norwegian on street cars on his way to and from his office in Port land. Senator Gill was born in England and came to this country at the age of 13. He began his early training at the Meth odist academy at Willbraham, Massa chusetts, and while a student there ac cepted a position on the faculty of the Willamette university at Salem. Later he opened a book store, and is now asso ciated with his brother, J. K. Gill, in the J. K. Gill company, of Portland. Mr. Gill has served several times as a member of the state legislature and is well known for his work on the state fish and game commission. He will ad dress the Eugene Chamber of Commerce at noon today. WOMEN’S CONCERT MARCH 4 The Women’s Gee Club is working hard under John Stark Evans, the joint director of the two glee clubs, in preparation for the home concert on March 4. The tour which the club "took during Christmas \ acation to Marshfield and other towns, has given the girls valuable experience. The pro gram will be announced later. The concert will be give,' in the Woman’s building. COMMITTEE ON ATHLETIC POLICY TO REPORT LATER Comprehensive Report of Investigation Being Prepared; Selection of Coaches Deferred Discussion of the general athletic 'policy of the University, which was slated for the meeting of the Executive Council last night, was postponed for a future meeting of that body, when j it was found that the investigating! 'committee did not have a report ready I for the Council. Dean John F. Bovard, j Dean Walker and Norton Winnard. i members of the investigating committee ! are taking up the present policy of the ! University in detail and attempting to prepare a comprehensve report to be made at the future meeting. Matters of routine occupied the regu lar session of the Council, the report of the financial committee being accepted i and matters pertaining to the employ- ; 'ing of assistant football coaches being referred back to the football activities 1 committee for action. Members of the j Council expressed regret that the pro cedure of these matters could not be made through their respective activity committee before being brought to the Council for action. It was pointed out that parties interested could ex pedite matters greatly if they would adopt such a plan in the beginning. ERNEST HENRIKSON, FRESHMAN, IS FIRST IN TRYOUT Old Line Contest to be Held This Year in Newberg March 10; University Victorious Last Two Years Ernest* H. Henrikson, a freshman from Portland majoring in rhetoric, will represent the University in the Old Line Oratorical contest which will be held in Newberg on March 10, as a result of the tryout which was held last night. Henrikson’s oration, which was on the divorse question won him first place over five other contestants. This is the first time in a number of years that a freshman has been chosen to represent the University. Last year Oregon’s representative was Ralph Hoeber, who won over all the college representatives of the Northwest. The year before Fred Coley of Oregon took first place. Vernon Duncan was given second on an oration entitled “The Psychology of Peace. Other contestants were Law rence Cook, who spoke on world peace, Wesley Jameson, with a speech of Niagra Falls, Charles Fish on conser vation of natural resources, and Mr. Turanae, on Philippine civilization. The judges for the tryout were Professor Solve, Professor Cameron and Professor Barnes. The contest this year will be under the auspices of Pacific College and will be entered by all the colleges of the Northwest. Henrikson’s subject will probably be the same as he took up in the tryouts yesterday due to the lack of time. TESTING MACHINE USED Engineering Students are Benefited by New Stress Apparatus A machine for testing the strength of building materials has recently been installed in the Sociology building for the use of students in architecture and pre-engineering courses. The machine tests the strength of wooden and steel beams, the strength of columns and of concrete. According to Professor Adams, of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts, 'the machine is very practical, as it shows the students how building mater ials act under the forces of construction. Students in the course on strength of materials, under Professor McAlister, and those taking constructive design, under Professor Adams, find the ma chine particularly useful. Guild Theater Stars Are Seen % In Reproduction of “Disraeli” Through the combined work of Pro fessor Fergus Reddie, Charlotte Ban field, Irene Stewart, and Claire Keeney “Disraeli,” the historical play by Louis N. Parker which was produced in Guild theatre last night and which will be repeated tomorrow and Friday nights was another Guild theatre suc cess. The pay circles! around and brings out the unusually brilliant char acter of Disraeli, the Jew, who through every difficulty was able to purchase the Suez canai for England and was able to make the queen of Engand Empress of India. Into the story of the politics of na tions was woven an interesting love story of Lady Pevensev and Lord Dee ford. She could never love a man who had had his position made for him and he was not quite sure whether a voung girl should read Greek, but when the opportunity arose Lord Deeford proved that be was able to fill a big position in spite of his titles. Profes sor Reddie played the title role with an interpretation which was powerful and yet delightful and Miss Banfield, as the Russian spy, was fascinating in her clever role. Irene Stewart as Lady Pevensey, played the enthusiastic young girl and admirer of Disraeli with a cleverness that is seen in all of Miss Stewart’s work. To produce the pay it is necessary that four completely different sets be used as it is divided into four acts each showing different rooms and although it is extremely difficult to change the settings were surprisingly good. The bright colored eighteenth century cos tumes which were worn added much to the colorful and fantastic effect of the play and helped carry over the spirit of that time. The entire members of the cast worked well together and good work was done by all the characters. Special mention should be made of Elizabeth Melis who played Mrs. Disraeli or Lady Beaconsfield, the woman who people say Disraeli married for her (CoBtismed on page four) TO SELF-SUPPORTER Employment Heads Contend Students Would Suffer Real Losses PLAN WOULD AFFECT MANY Large Number Dependent Upon Earnings is Statement; Morning Needed It is the united opinion of those who are in touch with, or in charge of, student employment on the campus that the including of Saturday in the sched ule of classes would work a great hard ship upon the self-supporting students. The attitude of these employment heads is that those of the faculty who are so ardently in favor of the Saturday plan are not fully aware of the handi cap under which working students would be placed. It has been estimated that approximately 75 per cent of all 'the University students are either wholly or partially self-supporting. The belief prevails that a great number of these would be forced to drop their school work because of their dependence upon Saturday as a school holiday. Mrs. Donnelly Against Mrs. C. R. Donnelly, who is the head of the men's employment bureau for the campus Y. M. C. A., believes that ut least two thirds of the 60 college men that she has placed in regular jobs would be forced to quit their school work if they were obliged to attend school on Saturday. By “regular jobs” is meant in cases where the boy works two or three hours during each day and at least half the day on Saturday. Aside from those in regular jobs she has secured odd jobs for at least 200 men. Many of these attend to their duties on Saturday morning. Also there are many men doing work of which she has no knowledge. It is her opinion that a large percentage of these, even though they are receiving state aid, would be forced to leave school. “There is no doubt,” said Mrs. Don nelly, “that those who are already in narrow straits financially w'ould be forced out of school, and that those ■ who are getting along by helping sup port themselves would be placed in great difficulty. Dr. Caswell came to me before presenting the question to the faculty colloquium, to ascertain the degree of hardship that would be 'worked on the self-supporting students. His was the opinion that at most not more than 20 students would be ser iously affected. I told him that I was positive that the greatest part of those who are working in regular positions would have to give up their school work altogether.” Saturday is Needed Miss Louise Davis, associate secre tary of the University Y. W. C. A. who is in charge of the women’s employ ment bureau likewise believes that a greater part of the women who aro sup porting themselves in any manner would have to leave school rather than give their Saturday time to class work and that at least 95 per cent of the work ing college women would be affected to a greater or less degree. '•We have watched the agitation for Saturday classes with great interest,” said Miss Davis,” and we have really been much worried. There is no doubt but that every girl who is in some way helping herself through school would bt* forced to extend herself to meet with a Saturday class regulation. Most of the girls who entirely support them selves have jobs doing general house work. They do their work at odd times during the day and a bit at night. The majority—very nearly all of the employers— require that the girls de lete Saturdays to house cleaning. In this case the morning is indispensible to girls in such positons. It is only the few of them that partly support themselves by caring for children dur ing the evening who would not be seriously inconvenienced by Saturday classes. I know, too, that girls in the various living organizations utilize their spare time on Saturday morning st anding to their personal duties and house work. I suppose that it is the same with the men. A hardship would result in many places.” Resolutions Drawn Up Ruth Flegal, president of Tre Nu, a club for girls who are either partially far entirely self supporting, says that the general sentiment in the club is against classes on Saturday. To this effect resolutions have been drawn up by the club, and have been sent to the student council. She says that Satur day classes would force many of the working girls to withdraw from col lege and that it wonld make conditions inconvenient for others in various ways. BOXING-WRESTLING CARNIVAL MED Third in Series of Doughnut Sports Scheduled for New Armory 14 BOUTS ARE ON PROGRAM Points Awarded Will Count in Final Rating of Intra mural Teams The biggest boxing and wrestling carnival ever staged under the auspices of the University is to come off at the Armory the 24th of this month, ac cording to officials of the school of physical education. This carnival will embody the finals in the doughnut ser ies of both these sports, and will have seven events in each. Basketball and the physical ability tests have already | been run off while the handball series is now in progress. Each of these sports is to be counted separately in the standing of the dif- 1 ferent organizations in the doughnut league records, so the houses that are '■ now in the lead will have to enter strong teams in each or they are liable to drop a step down in the final stand ing. Handball at present lies between either the Kappa Sigma or Sigma Chi teams, and sineo these two teams are at the head of the list., handball wilt not lower the standing of either of the j leaders by a large margin. Least Number of Points Wins The grading is figured on the basis of one point for the team taking first j place, two for second place and so on, so by this method the team with the least number of scores at the end of the year will win the doughnut competi tion, and the reward which is to Vie given. It can readily be seen that an organi zation must turn out steadily for every ! sport that is listed in order to keep among the leaders, for by losing out in even a single sport some house may lose the championship. There are to be nine sports, according to the pres i ent plan. These are, boxing, wrestling, handball, baseball, basketball, swim I ming, tennis, track, and physical edu cation tests. Two of these have been run off, and tennis is practically over, so there remains only six sports in which the teams that are behind may redeem themselves. The trophy which will be presented to the winning team has not been decided on as yet, but the physical edu cation instructors are in favor either of a large plaque, or a large cup, which a team will have to win for three years in order to gain it permanently. The idea at present also includes the sag gestion of having a large plaque in some prominent part of the gymnasium, on which the winning organization will have its name engraved each year. Must Register Feb. 15 The preliminaries of the wrestling and boxing bouts will lie run off be (Continued on page four) EARLY UNIVERSITY HEAD WILL LIVE IN NEW YORK Charles H.

Moth, teams opened up with an ag ressive offensive attack in the last half, and the game was much faster in the final period, as a result of the change in tactics from the tight de fensive work in the initial half.

STANFORD FACULTY MAN MAY ADDRESS ASSEMBLY Edgar E. Robinson, History Instructor Will Speak, to Smaller Groups; Northwest Trip Planned Edgar E. Robinson, professor of his I tory at Stanford University is to tour [the Northwest from February 25 to March 8 and has been Invited to speak at the weekly assembly on March 2. Mr. Robinson was recently in Washing j toil in a semi official capacity and be cause of opportunities incident to the mission for the Hoover War Library was able to make some unusual and interesting contacts. If Mr. Robinson comes to the campus he may speak to smaller groups of stu dents or faculty members as well as his public address at the assembly. Mr. Robinson might speak on the general subject of “The American Part in the Washington Conference,” and to smal ler groups on “Personalities and Dele gations at Washington” and “Machin ery of the Conference.” Senior Men Seek to Avoid Warm Fireplaces So Phone Is Popular (BV SENIOR SLEUTH) How to avoid the fireplace these warm February evening* is the topic of conversation t liin week among the sturdy, husky voiced members of the elite cam pus set otherwise known as the senior class. Another sudden development among this same smart set is the popu larity of a certain new song said to have been written by a man by the name of Hemenway, whose given name is ltos coe, entitled, “I Hear You Calling Me” with dance interpolations phoneward. The author is said to have consented to present it officially this afternoon at the Alpha Chi Omega Musicale. Mr. Hemenway wrote the song, accord ing to close friends, as an experiment in mental telepathy. Concentration is the keynote of his new idea. ‘ ‘ Every man is the master of his own destiny,” was his original phrasing when interviewed last night. ‘‘If a man hopes'to get anywhere in this modern day,” Mr. Hemenway went on to say, “let him sing my song according to directions. It never fails.” He has arranged the piece for the convenience of both tenor and baritone males. The falsettos can take care of themselves, he believes. This latter comment was made with no refer ence to Carl Newbury. Another experiment worked out on the Oregon campus to the fulfillment of senior week is being advertsied by Floyd Bowles. Mr. Bowles presented him self at the Emerald office last night and begged for space in which to pre sent his original plan. Lack of space prevents the complete presentation of his ideas here. Those who saw Mr. Bowles Monday night agree that his plan is im practicable, though clever. Not many senior men have the available wardrobe. Juniore are convinced that senior week will become an Oregon tradition. The idea is original to this campus and (OeatiaMd mm page tmrnr)
