Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXTII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1922 NUMBER 83 HEADS OF SCHOOLS DIFFER IN OPINION ' OF 6-DAY SCHEDULE Dean Hale Strongly in Favor of Saturday Classes; Time Precious, Is Plea DEAN ALLEN OPPOSES IDEA Journalism Director Says Research Would Suffer; Faculty too Small “We should make the most efficient use of the state’s investment,” said Dean Hale of the law school, yesterday, in speaking of the proposed six-day •week plan for the University. Dean Hale favors utilizing all possible time for prodigious pursuit of the studies for which students are in the school. He heartily favors the curriculua be ing managed so that the most may be secured for the time invested. He said that no business man would think of closing down his business on Saturday which would mean losing a good per cent of the calculated interest on the capital which he had invested. “It is a mystery to me,” continued the Dean, “where we ever got the idea of a five-day week. I do not know whether it was handed down to us by an omnipotent, world powerful Jeho vah or whether it is man’s own inven tion. Success in Law School “We have introduced the Saturday morning class into our school already. The change worked fairly, but is prob ably not so satisfactory as it might have been if, substantially the entire university had adopted the plan. From talks with the students I have found in most instances they felt that they were discriminated against. It has not been so much a question of classroom space in the law school, but we found that we either had to use the Saturday morning class or utilize to a greater extent the student’s afternoon. When the question arose as to whether we would conduct classes on Saturday, I spoke to a few of the students who were working to find whether it would be more disadvantageous to them to schedule Saturday classes or whether .to have more afternoon classes. Most of them desire to have their afternoons uniformly free. “Another reason appeals to us, in dependence of the mere necessity of such clasees. We believe that better work will be done if the student has his work more evenly distributed over the entire week. Putting a complete Saturday and Sunday into the week is just like injecting that many holidays. There is a loss of momentum when the period of intermission is so great. Dis tribution brings about a better work ing schedule. Taking it as a whole, we are reach ing a point where classrooms are crowd ed and buildings are congested. The feeling is developing that we need more space. Under these circumstances it is perfectly illogical to shut down our plant on a perfectly good day like Saturday. Dean Allen Opposed Diametrically opposed to the idea of Dean Hale is that of Dean Allen of the school of journalism. Dean Allen thinks that the University would suf fer through the inauguration of a Satur day class schedule. “It means the destruction of the University spirit,” stated Dean Allen. “Most of us are on a six-day week now. The immediate effect of a change will be the seculari zation of Sunday. I do not think it possible under University conditions (Continued on page two) AT HOME WILL BE HELD SUNDAY IN ALUMNI HALL Woman’s League Sponsors; Students Urged to Make Greater Use of Building Woman's League will be at home in Alumni hall of the Woman’s building Sunday afternoon from 3 to 5:30. Everyone is invited to drop in during the afternoon to enjoy the music and the davenports and the fires and the company of other campus folk. Woman’s League plans to have the Woman's building open every Sunday afternoon so that people may feel that they can come in and enjoy the quiet beauty of Alumni hall. So far not many students have seemed to realize that they are quite welcome in Alumni hall, and really expected to make some use of it to justify its existence. Es pecially is it true of the men; who seem to believe that the Woman’s building is solely and exclusively for the use of the women. There will be vocal music beside that furnished by violin, piano, ’ ello and harp, Sunday afternoon. Everyone is invited. I DATES FIXED FOR ZIMMERN SCHOLAR TO ADDRESS STUDENT MEETINGS MARCH 15, 16, 17 Leading Hellenist’s Schedule is in Hands of Reed President; No Assembly Talk Arranged Alfred E. Zimmern, British scholar, is to be brought to the University of Oregon campus on Wednesdey, Thursday and Friday, March 15, 16, and 17, which dates are subject to the confirmation of President Richard F. Seholz of Reed College, where Dr. Zimmern is to offer six weeks of work this spring. In his three days on the campus Dr. Zimmern will address student meetings in the nature of groups, classes and or ganizations, but will not appear before assembly. A serious effort is to be made by the university to make Dr. Zimmern’s visit here a positive success by bringing him into contact with the people who will re ceive the most benefit from him. He is an authority on government and politics and on all matters pertaining to early Greece and in this later field has been ranked among the leading Hellenists. He will, however, be available to out siders through open meetings which will be held at convenient afternoon or even ing hours. Dr. Zimmern’s coming, many on the campus believe, heralds a new departure in university life here. In many educational centers in the east and a few in the west the practice of bringing in outside scholars for the in tellectual stimulus they make possible is being followed in increasing extent. It; is probable that several other excellent [ men of prominence in their fields will be brought here later in the spring. SCHROFF TO GIVE PAINTING Most Popular Canvas in Exhibit Will Be Presented Chamber of Commerce Professor Schroff of the school of architecture and allied arts, whose ex hibit of paintings will be opened at the Eugene Chamber of Commerce Febru ary 20, has just announced that at the close of this exhibit he will give one of his paintings to the Chamber of Com merce. All those interested, who at tend the exhibit, will be asked to state their choice of one of the ninety can vases which will be on exhibit and these votes will be counted at the end of the exhibit to decide which picture Mr. Schroff will give. The exhibit which has recently been at the Seattle Fine Arts Society and has received much praise from art crit ics in that city will be in charge of W. K. Newell, University superintendent of properties. FRENCH CLUB MEETS At the French club meeting Tuesday night an interesting talk was given in French by Germaine Dew. This was the regular meeting of the club and pre ceding the program the business meet ing was held. Vio Powell gave several vocal solos. Undated Student Lawyer Sues Senior Woman For Failing Him Charging that he has been cruelly lacerated in his feelings and has been unable to successfully prosecute his avocation as an attorney, Gordon S. Wells, Lane county lawyer and stu dent of the University of Oregon, has filed a complaint against Dorothy Dickey, saying that she has wholly failed, declined and refused to make a date with him during the past week as she was obliged to do under the rules governing senior co-eds. Mr. Wells, in his formal complaint, 1 avers that Miss Dickey refused to make a date with him on the grounds that she was not a senior in the University. Mr. Wells complains that this allega tion is false, fradulent, and frivolous and prays a decree of the court that it order and decree that the plaintiff has the full standing and credentials of a senior man in the University. In his appeal to the court of the state of reason, Mr. Wells legally defines the requisites of a senior. “A senior is commonly defined as one who is spending his fourth consecu tive year of residence on the Univer sity campus,” states Mr. Wells, for nmlly declaring that he is legally a senior and is entitled to the atten tions of a co-ed who by the rights of lottery should date him. All the emo luments and benefits that accrue to such a position have been denied him (Continued on page three) MEET DETAILS TO BE SETTLED TODAY Hayward and Benefiel go to Portland to Meet Other College Delegates SEVEN INSTITUTIONS JOIN Eugene, April 14 and 15, Time and Place Proposed for Big Competition Latest advices to Jack Benefiel, graduate manager, indicate that Oregon Agricultural College, Pacific Univer sity, Reed College, Linfield College, Willamette University, Mt. Angel Col lege and the University of Oregon will be represented at a meeting to be held today in Portland of the official ath letic representatives of the colleges and universities of Oregon to arrange for the all-state relay carnival. Invitations for the meeting were sent out by the University of Oregon, and all heard from so far have accepted except Pacific College, which institu tion held that it did not have enough men to warrant entering a team. Rules to be Made The purpose of the meeting will be to determine rules and classifications for the all-state meet at Eugene on April 14 and 15. The University of Oregon will be host at the meet as proposed and with the finest track in the north west can offer a suitable place for the holding of the first track meet for all the institutions of higher learning in this state. The affair is to be a relay carnival and will include events ranging from the 220, which provides for the short distance artists up to the 4-mile, where in the endurance men will have a chance to prove their worth. The carnival may include a few field events and possibly a pentathlon. Idea is Hayward’s Bill Hayward, veteran track coach and varsity trainer, is responsible, di rectly, for the calling of the Portland meeting, and the idea of the state relay carnival. The purpose of the relay is, essentially, to foster the de velopment of track throughout the en tire state. The meeting in Portland today is called primarily, for the purpose of ar ranging classifications which will per mit of the teams of the various insti tutions being pitted against each other with some show of equality. While Ore gon and O. A. C. will probably find themselves pitted against each other in practically all of the events, both of the state schools will enter their fresh man teams and they will compete against the teams of other schools entered, in some of the events at least. Both Jack Benefiel and Bill Hay ward are making the trip to Portland to represent Oregon at the meeting.

OPENING DOUGHNUT COB HELD ON MAI Ai IN RING Houston, Branstetter, Ferry, Roycroft Winners in Boxing Tilts COMPETITION TO BE KEEN Losers May Challenge Winners For New Chance; Semi finals to be Tuesday The first round of the doughnut box ing and wrestling matches, which were run off yesterday afternoon, proved that the competition for places in the tournament is to be keen. Several of the boxing bouts especially brought out some good material, and the contes tants went after one another as if the bouts were titular ones instead of in the doughnut series. In the 135-pound boxing contests Houston scored a close decision over Blackman: and Branstetter beat Dodd ridge. There was only one bout yester day in the 145-pound class in which Perry succeeded in winning from Vir den. The 158-pound class had no con testants prosent so no wins wero scored. Roycroft won from TTockett in the only fight put on in the heavyweight division, which in general opinion was the best bout of the day. Eight Mat Bouts Held Only four boxing bouts were run off yesterday, but the wrestlers fared bet ter, as there were eight events put on in that sport. In the 135-pound clnss Pish flopped Strane in a hot contest. The 145-pouaders claimed four of the eight wrestling contests. Wyatt took a decision from Martin after five min utes of hot work; Moores tossed Bren nan on his shoulders: Winnard put Vester out; and Paterson scored a deci sion over Lee. The 158-pound men put on some of the best bouts of the afternoon. Camp bell won from Bergsvik; French dropped Bliss on the mat for a fall; and Youngs flipped Prescott in a fast five minuto period. The heavyweight class was devoid of matches yesterday, but today the following five men will fight it out to find which of them will be in the sem-fnals. Horsofall, Torge son, Jameson, King, and Atkins. Losers May Challenge All men defeated yesterday have the privilege of challenging the winner of some other bout in the same weight, and indications are that practically all of the losers are going to use this privi lege. All these matches or challenges will have to be run off today in order to eliminate enough men so that the competitors for the semi-finals can be picked before Tuesday. Coach Barnes, who is conducting the weighing examinations, is calling every one that is the least bit overweight, and several men had to shift to a higher class for this reason yesterday so try to get into the meet. Today Last Day to Start All men who have not fought their first round, and all challengers must get into action today, or they will bo eliminated from the race. The hours for the matches will be from nine to 12 in the morning and from three to five in the afternoon, and no matches so every person who is more than one pound overweight need try to get into j the meet. The semi-finals are to be held in the men’s gym Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock and no admission will be charged. The room in which the bouts were held yesterday was packed to overflowing with students, so indica tions are that a large crowd will be present at the matches Tuesday. The finals are to be held in the ar- j mory, February 24, according to of ficials of the school of physical educa tion. Twenty-five cents admission for students, and 50 cents for others is to be charged, to defray the cost of rent- j ing the armory, and to pay for the cup or plaque which is to he awarded the winner of the Doughnut series of sports. “TINY” SHIELDS IMPROVED Oregon Football Player Nearly Dies From Attack of Pneumonia Archie (“Tiny”) Shields, Oregon football Btar, nearly died of pneumonia recently, according to a telegram re ceived at the Kappa Sigma house. The telegram, which came from Washougal, Washington, states that he is now on the road to recovery after being in a dangerous condition for some ‘time. Tiny, who was a star guard on this year’s football team, left for home with his brother, Floyd, soon nfter the re turn of the football team from Hawaii, with the intention of working the winter term and returning to school in the spring. CONCERT OF GLEE CLUB IN PORTLAND MAKES HIT Solo Work, Readings and Feature Please Audience; Men Sing at University Club Also Characterized by dramatic writers of Portland newspapers ns “the finest col lege musical event heard in Portland in years,” the University Men's glee club made a distinct hit with several hundred alumni and friends of the Uni versity who attended the concert at the Heilig, Wednesday night. Arthur Johnson's solo work and the readings by Nelson English and Cyril Vallentyne made a distinct impres sion upon the audience. “The Grass hopper,” the main stunt of the evening, received hearty applause, showing as it did the variety of voices in the organi zation. The size of the crowd was somewhat smaller than expected, due to a hard rain storm and many opposing attrac tions. The San Carlos grand opera com pany is playing at the auditorium all week while David Warfield in “The Return of Petor Grimm,” now showing at the Heilig also detracted from the glee club ticket sale. While in Portland the men sang at the University Club and at Washing ton High School and received a great ovation at both places. President P. L. Campbell, who was in Portland at the time of the concert, characterized the work of tho club in that city as “one of tho best advertisements which the University has received for some time.” John Stark Evans, director, was n gnest at numerous social events during his stay in the city and his work with the Glee Club was generally praised. Maurice Eben, president, received con siderable favorable comment for his efforts in constantly improving the organization of tho club. STUDENT PLAHO APPEAR “COUNTRY COUSIN" AT EUGENE THEATRE FEBRUARY 25 Ogdeu Johnson Leading Man With Marion Taylor Taking Opposite Role; Story Has Clever Plot The experiences of George Tewkes berry Reynolds (Ogden Johnson), lend ing man in the student body piny, “The Country Cousin,” which will be given at the Eugene theatre next Saturday night, will answer the question of what the easterner knows about the West, according to those in charge of the production. The story is by Booth Tarkington and is full of clever situations and sub tie wit. It is modern in every respect having been produced for the first time since war days, with Alexandria Car 'lyle as the star. It is said to havo been a groat success wherever shown. “The Country Cousin” is the story of an American country girl (Marian Taylor) who “Shows up” the haughty New Englander, George Tewkesberry Reynolds, in love affair. Sam Wilson (Nelson English) and Eleanor llowitt (Doris Pittinger) play opposite one another in what turns out to be a story of equal interest with that played by the leads. Mrs. llowitt number one (Hildegarde llepinen) and Mrs. llowitt number two (Katherine Pinneo,) also have important parts in the action. Claire Keeney in his usual portrayal of a character part, plays Mr. llowitt while Verne Fudge, another Guild hall favorite, is Mr. Gore, rich business man, who is attracted by the flashy ways of Mrs. llowitt, number two. Star Nor ton, Florence Cartwright, Ray Dunn and Berrian Dunn who also have diffi cult parts, are all showing unusual tal ent in the rehearsals, according to cam pus critics. The play will be given ns the main student body production of the year and is the only social event scheduled for next Saturday night. It will start im mediately following the basketball game. PLEDGING ANNOUNCED Phi Mu Alpha announces the pledg ing of John B. Siefert, French Moore, and Ronald Reid. CARDINALS DEFEAT VARSITY ID OPENING GAME; SCORE IT-12 Davies and DeGroot Play Stellar Roles For Cardinal Team ROCKHEY HIGH POINT MAN Lemon Yellow to Clash With Nevada in Armory Monday Night Stanford University, Feb. 17.— (Special)—Stanford defeated Oregon by a score of 17 to 12, tonight, in the first of a two game basketball series here. The game was closely contested and hard fought throughout. Roakhey starred for the Oregonians while Davies and DeOroot played the stellar roles for the Oardinnl basketballs. Returning from the Southern trip Monday night on the Shasta, Oregon’s basketball squad will not securo much of a rest, as they take on the Univer sity of Nevada quintet in the first of a two gamo series shortly after they get off the train, the game being scheduled to start at 7 o’clock. In spite of the fact thaht the varsity five will have barely time to straighten the kinks out of their lower limbs be fore they take on the “Sagehens" the Lemon-Yellow should have at least an even chance for the Nevadans are not rated ns an exceptionally strong five. The dates with Willamette have been switched and Oregon will play the first series with the Bearcats at. Salem next, Friday and Saturday with the Willamette five journeying to Fugene on the following week-end. From com parative scores with O. A. O. the var sity should have better than an even chance with the Salem colleginns. “Del” Oberteuffer, varsity yell king, urges every student to meet the Shasta from the south Monday night at 5:30 to meet the basketball squad which will return from the south on that train. Del believes that with the first Nevada game coming up a 7 o’clock on that night a rally and a real recep tion for the returning warriors will go a long wav toward putting them in shape to trim the invading Sagehens. "Fveryhody out” is Obie’R cry, “rain or shine.” CHEMISTRY MEN TO MEET Illustrated Lecture Will Be Given by Professor Tanner February 25.
