WASHINGTON Mil
SAYS SIX-DAY WEEK
rum UNECONOMIC
Visitor Reports Failure of
Scheme at University
After Year’s Trial
MANY KEPT FROM CHURCH
Research and Field Work Held
Handicapped; Limit Set
on Attendance
Herbert T. Condon, graduate of the
University of Oregon with the class of
1892, and now comptroller of the Uni
versity of Washington, was a visitor
in bis old haunts on the campus yester
day. Mr. Condon brings the news that
Washington, after a year’s trial of the
six-day week, about two years ago
gave up the plan and went back to the
old five-day schedule.
“The arguments against the six-day
plan,” said Mr. Condon, “were largely
economic. Large numbers of the stu
dent body who were earning their way
through were doing Saturday work and
found it difficult to obtain on the other
days the needed amount of employment.
Kept Away From Church
“A second argument was, That the plan
simply forced over into Sunday a num
ber of the things that had been done on
Saturday. We were denounced from
the pulpit of the First Presbyterian
church by Dr. Matthews for taking the
students’ Sabbath away from them. The
students, Dr. Matthews and others
charged, were kept away from divine
services by the system.
“A third argument used against the
plan was, that Saturday should be the
day for the student to ‘take stock,’ so
to speak, of his week’s work—to
strengthen up the weak spots—and his
day for recreation.”
The principal reason for the adop
tion of the six-day week, Mr. Condon
pointed out, was for economy of
schedule and room space. The plan
did save the space of one building.
Faculty Was Divided
“The faculty was divided over the
merits of the idea,” said the Wash
ington comptroller when asked as to
the attitude of the teaching staff.
Several found that the system inter
fered with research and field work.
I have heard no argument lately for
a return to the six-day week.
“We might however, have been com
pelled to retain it had it not been for
the accession of some fine new build
ings and the restriction of enrollment.”
Many Students Dropped
Washington’s new ruling which
makes it necessary for a student to I
make C (equivalent to Oregon’s III)
or higher to remain in college resulted
in the dropping of 450 students at the
end of the winter term of last year,
according to Mr. Condon. This reduced
the congestion materially, but two
thirds of these re-registered in the fall
term of this year. Washington’s stu
dent limit is now at 4500.
Mr. Condon’s wife was Miss Maude
Wilkins, class of 1896. One of his
classmates is Professor F. 8. Dunn,
head of the department of Latin lan
guage and literature.
The Washington man is here on a
vacation. He expressed himself as
much pleased with Oregon’s building
progress.

1822 OREGANAPROGRESSES
NEW BOOK TO CONTAIN SPECIAL
ART FEATURES
All Copy Will be in Hands of Printer
by March 1; Subscription Sales
Exceed Expectations
Work on the 1922 Oregana is rapidly
being completed, according to Inez
King, the editor. Half of the engrav
ings and 64 printed pages are completed,
and the balance of the work will be in
the hands of the printer by March 1.
A feature of this year’s issue will be
eight pages of pictures taken by Avard
Fairbanks’ class in artistic photography.
These pictures will be printed in brown
ink on a paper of a pebbled finish. Bor
ders for printed pages are of conven
tional design, with neutral grey to har
monize with the type.
Most of the illustrations are half
tones, as also are the department head
ings. These headings were done in
wash by Ed Bohlman, Doris Bothwell
and Ray Bothers. Miss Bothwell and
Bothers attended the California insti
tute of fine arts last year and have con
tributed a number of other art features.
The design for the comic section is
the work of Wilbur Hulin. Ernest Hav
cox, otherwise known as the campus
cynic and E. J. H., is in charge of this
department.
The number on the staff this year has
been limited in order to more definitely
place responsibility and in order to al
low; the heads of various departments to
choose their own assistants. According
to Miss King the plan has worked ex
ceedingly well.
Subscription sales have exceeded all
expectations according to George Mc
Intyre, manager. The Oregana will
make its appearance about a week be
fore Junior Week-end.
This year’s 3taff is as follows: Inez
King, editor; Margaret Jackson and
Luella Hausler, classes; Emily Perry
and Eugene Kelty, athletics; Kenneth
ouel and Lenore Cram, living organi
zations; Jessie Thompson, administra
tion; Ernest Havcox, features; Ray

Co-ed Code Competition Rules
Announced by Mrs. Gerlinger
(Editor’s Note:—Mrs. G. T. Ger
linger, a member of the board of
regents, in an address before the
University women a short time ago
suggested that a coed’s “code” be
written and adopted at Oregon. The
idea has met with a great deal of
favorable comment, and in this ar
ticle specially prepared for the Emer
ald. Mrs. Gerlinger has outlined the
definite competitive plan.)
By IRENE H. GERLINGER
At a recent meeting of the Woman’s
League, it was proposed to engage the
girls of the University in a friendly
competition to see who could-write the
most acceptable Code of Morals. Ethics,
and Manners. It was suggested that
such a code, if adequate, would serve
as a basis for the guidance of all young
women who might choose to adopt it.
It was proposed also that this co
ed’s code, or creed, or whatever its
author wishes to call it, should be ex
pressed in some choice literary form
such as Channing’s Sympathy. the
Sermon on the Mount, Aristotle’s
Ethics (on characteristics of high
| mindedness) Chapter 8, Book 4, a
| prayer, Commandments, or any of the
i verse forms which might even be suf
ficiently lyrical to be set to music.
The manuscripts are to be type-:
i written, unsigned, and handed to the1
chairman of the judge’s committee not
; later than May 1. Accompanying this
| must be a plain, sealed envelope con
taining a card with the author’s name.
Upon receipt of manuscripts and en
I velopes containing names, the judge
j will put on each the same number.
More than one manuscript may be-sub
mitted by an author. A prize of ten
| dollars will be awarded at Junior Week
j end to the successful writer. In case
I of collaboration between two or more
authors producing the successful code,
this sum will be equally divided. The
judges will count 75 per cent on the
high ethical quality and the complete
I ness of the Code, and 25 per cent on
, its literary form. Dr. John Straub
. has been asked to act as chairman of
I this committee. The other members
are Miss Elizabeth Fox, Miss Mary

BUNT AND BATES
[FAVOR ABOLITION OF
FRESHMAN ENGLISH
Requirements for First Year
Work in Department to be
Discussed by Faculty
SUBSTITUTE IS PROVIDED
Those “Obviously Deficient”
May be Given Composition
Course With no Credit
At the faculty meeting of March 1,
there will be presented to the faculty
a motion proposing to abolish fresh
man work in English composition. The
plan provides for the substitution of
a year of work in an advanced course in
written English as a requirement for
any of the bachelor’s degrees. Such
a course would carry not less than two
nor more than three hours per term.
The motion which is presented by
Dean Dyment and Dr. Bates is as fol
lows in regard to its details:
“The freshman entrance examination
in English would be required of all
matriculants but would be devoted
largely to grammar and syntax. Those
matriculants who were obviously En
glish defectives, and other deficients
sent in by major professors, would be
required to take a sub-freshman course
without credit.
“Except in the case of deficients, it
would not be contemplated that any
freshman (majors in the department of
English not necessarily included) should
take written English in their first year.
“The department of English would
provide some two dozen written Eng
lish sections, covering a variety of
work such that any school or depart
ment could list for its course of study
any suitable writing course, fitting it
into the second, third or fourth year as
desired.
“Each candidate for any of the
bachelor’s degrees must have passed
one year of these writing courses.
“The expense of this plan would not
be greater than the expense of written
English as given at present.
The plan is not proposed to relievo
any congestion that the department of
English may have, but is directed to
correct improper English in all depart
ments of the University. Under a rul
ing of this order all aspirants for A. B.
degrees of any kind would be required
to take at least one year of written
English courses.
FRESHMEN BASKETEERS
WIN TWO GAMES IN SOUTH
No Contests Dropped so Far by Babes’
Quintet; Record is Best Made for
Five or Six Years
The frosli basketball team returned
from its trip to Southern Oregon with
out breaking its clean record of vic
tories, as they won both the games
which were played on the trip. The
first one with Ashland was taken by
the close score of 28 to 31, while the
Medford game was taken 25 to 31.
Returned members of the team re
port that the frosh played poor ball
both games and should have won by
larger scores if they had played as well
as they did in the rook contests.
The Ashland game was especially
close as the high school team led by
several points at the end of the first
half, but during the second period the
frosh came back and staged a rally
which netted them several markers
and put them in the lead shortly before
the final whistle blew.
These two games are the last that are
scheduled for the yearlings unless the
proposed Portland trip is brought
about and at present the outlook is
doubtful.
lhe rrosli team has a record this year
that has not been duplicated by any
frosh teams for the last five of six
years as to date they have not lost a
game, and the prospects are that they
will be able to defeat any high school
aggregation which they meet before the
end of the season.
IDAHO ADDS MAJOR SPORT
University of Idaho, Feb. 20.—Wrest
ling will be inaugurated as a major

This will be the first match of the year
for the local men, and it will give them
a good opportunity to measure their
strength against an older and more ex
perienced bunch of men. Babe Brown?
veteran heavyweight grappler for Ida
ho, and holder of the Pacific Coast am
ateur championship, is coaching the
squad and will enter in the heavyweight
class.

and the idea has been fostered by Bill
Hayward for several years past. The
completion of the $10,000 cinder path
at Oregon, which -will serve as an ap

The events occur in the order named.
As planned, the carnival competition
was divided into three classes—Class
A is limited to the University of Ore
gon and Oregon Agricultural college
first teams, class B will be for all
other collegiate institutions entered,
while the competition between the
rooks and the frosh will fall under
class C.

Better Athletic Spirit Object
The relay carnival as outlined will be
unique in the history of state ath
letics and will be the first time that
the various colleges and universities
have had an opportunity to meet in all
state competition. The relay was sug
gested by the University of Oregon to
foster a better athletic spirit in the
state, according to Jack Benefiel, grad
uate manager, and to give the smaller
colleges some incentive to turn out
track teams.
The representatives from the various
schools in the state were as follows:
Roy Bolder, Willamette university; W. ,
A. Long, Pacific university; Mike II.
Butler, Oregon Agricultural college; '
George W. Clark, Reed college; Morse
Pettit, Linfield college; B. W. Mc
Neal, Albany college, and Jack Bene
fiel, University of Oregon.
W. A. A. WILL MEET TODAY
Elimination of Awards of Intrinsic
Value to be Voted on
The Women’s Athletic Association
will meet this afternoon at 5:15 in
the Women's League rooms at the Wo
men’s building. The meeting is an
important one as the association will
vote on the elimination of personal
awards of intrisic value such as sweat
ers for track and walking, canoe paddle,
tennis racket and swimming suit. This
does not affect the student body awards
to members of varsity teams. Plans
for Field Day, which will be the last
Saturday in May, will also be discussed.
JUNIOR CLASS TO TALK
PLANS FOR CANOE FETE
Arrangements for Week-end to be Gone
Over in Class Meeting; Dance
to be Held in April
Plans for holding the canoe fete dur
ing Junior Week-end will be discussed
at the junior class meeting which will
be held this afternoon at 5:15 in Vil
lard.
A committee which has been inves
tigating the matter of financing the
building of bleachers to accommodate
the crowd viewing the canoe fete will
report at that time. This committee
has gone into every detail regarding the
canoe fete, aesording to Tommy Wyatt,
junior president, and has devised ways
and means of securing funds to defray
the expense of building the bleachers.
Just how this has been accomplished
will be brought out at the class meet
ing.
Another junior class dance will bo
held sometime in April. What form
the dance will take—whether fancy
dress or “roughneck” will also be de
cided at. the meeting.
Plans for Junior Week-end are now
well under wav, Wyatt says. Charles
Lamb, general chairman of the week
! end committee, has called meetings of
all committees already appointed, for
some time this week.
ATHLETICS AHE
CLOSER SCHOOL FRIENDSHIP IS
OBJECT OF CONFERENCE
_
Oregon and O. A. C. Physical Education
Departments Not in Favor of
Intercollegiate Sports
The physical education departments
of both the University of Oregon and
Oregon Agricultural college expressed
themselves as unfavorable to intercol
legiate sports for girls, at a conference
of the faculty of the two departments
and representatives of the women’s
athletic association held at Corvallis
Saturday.
The purpose of the conference was
expressed by Miss Alden, who was
elected chairman, when she said, “The
idea of the conference is to bring the
two schools together in such a way as
to cement their friendship and pro
mote the spirit of mutual interest and
admiration among the girls rather than
purely rivalry and competition. For
merly the two schools have met merely
as competitors, but now wo hope to get
better acquainted socially and realize
that we have the same standards, hopes
and ideals.”
“The Oregon Woman’s Athletic Asso
ciation does not stand for intercol
legiate sports for girls” said Margaret
Russell, president of the association,
“but friendly games between the two!
schools are greatly favored and looked
forward to by the girls as a culmina
tion of house and doughnut sports.”
A definite program of contests for1
the rest of the year was outlined. March j
4 was set as the definite date for
the basketball game which will be
played at Eugone in the women’s gym
nasium. It will be the first varsity
contest in the new building and the
Oregon W. A. A. is planning special
entertainment for their guests.
The (Into of the swimming meet was
loft open but it will probably be held
about the first of May, nor was it def
initely decided whether it would be at
Eugene or Corvallis. The last girl’s
meet was at Eugene in 1920 and re
sulted in an overwhelming victory for
Oregon. The basketball game and ten
nis matches will bo played at Corvallis
on June 3.
Following the conference, the Oregon
delegates, Miss Alden, Miss Emma
Waterman, Miss Catherine Winslow,
Miss Jessie Thompson, Margaret Bus
sell, Charlotte Howells, Muriel Meyers,
and Mae Find lay, were entertained bv
the domestic science department with
a luncheon in their new building.
CALIFORNIA CLUB TO DANCE
Social Evening Set for Friday, Feb. 24,

The California Club, an organization
recently formed on the campus, will
give a dance on Friday, February 24, i
at the Chamber of Commerce hall. Cal |
ifornia poppies will be used to decorate
the hall and the programs, designed by !
Doris Bothwell, are very original.
The California Club, organized to |
unite California students in the Univer
sity, has about 60 members. It was
formed in January with Don Park as
president, Helen Dougherty, vice-pres- I
ident, Doris Bothwell, secretary, Jack I
Meyers, treasurer, and Emil Ohio, ser j

SIRING OF DEFEATS
IN SPEEDY CONTEST
Neither Team Has Edge During
First Period; Edlunds
Makes Last Goal
VARSITY PLAY IS IMPROVED
Series Will be Closed Tonight
With Next on Schedule at
Willamette Friday
Oregon 32, Nevada 20.
Tims Oregon won the first rogular
basketball game of tho season and
chased old man Jinx into tho offing for
a space by trimming tho five from tho
University of Nevada in tho Armory
last night in a game marked by bril
liant scoring spurts by both teams and
a whirlwind finish.
Tho Oregon team, just back from a
disastrous southern invasion, outplayed
tho Sagebrushers and led steadily
throughout the contest. “Rabbit”
Bradshaw, the visitors diminutive
guard played a speedy game and led
the Nevadans scoring with 13 points.
The little fellow hooped soven free
throws without a miss and then with
but two or three minutes of play left
and with the score Oregon 28, Nevada
27 the little fellow missed the tying
score and a second lator Eddio Ed
lunds pulled things out of the fire
with a field goal that boosted the
Lemon Yellow’s count, to 30.
Game Starts Fast
The game started with a rush, Ref
eree Coleman railing a foul on Zim
merman on the initial toss up which
Bradshaw converted for Nevada. A lit
tle later Rol Andre for the varsity
evened it up with a free throw. Loo
Clear dropped in the first field goal of
the gamo from the center of the floor
and a minute later Zimmerman con
verted a missed free throw by Andre
into a marker.
The closing minutes of the first half
were nip and tuck with the score being
constantly tied. With the score 12
10 Nevada, Andre stepped out and an
nexed two baskets and a free throw, the
half ending with the varsity on the
long end of a 15-12 count.
With the opening of the final period
of play Coach ftohler sent in two sub
stitutes, Edlunds for Altstock and La
tham for Zimmerman. The varsity led
steadily throughout the second period,
being threatened by the invading quin
tet only occasionally. Edlunds loosened
up and nicked the Reno hoopers for fivo
field goals, tying with Rol Andre for
high point man fof Oregon.
Passing Is Accurate
The Oregon team showed a marked
improvement in their play last night,
their passing being much more ac
curate. They refused to become
rattled with the invaders rallies but
tightened up and got the ball out of
danger. The guarding showed a great
deal of improvement and the entire
team chocked to advantage.
The two teams will meet in the
final game of the series tonight with
the varsity journeying to Salem the
last of the week for a series with the
Willamette Bearcats on Friday and
Saturday nights.

was ahead of the Cardinals 7-5 but
could not hold the pace and during the
