CANOE FETE TO BE
KEPT FEATURE Of
Decision of Class of ’23 to
Retain Distinct Oregon
Event is Unanimous
BLEACHERS WILL BE BUILT
Amount to be Expended Left
to Committee; Admission
Fee May be Charged
The canoe fete will be continued this
year as a feature of Junior Week-end.
This decision was reached at a meeting
of the Junior class held yesterday after
noon in Villard hall, and the members
of the ’23 class unanimously voted to
get behind the annual event. The
committee to handle the fete will be
appointed very soon by Tom Wyatt,
president.
The chief discussion concerning the
fete arose concerning the question of
constructing permanent bleachers to ac
commodate spectators. The committee,
which was appointed last week, con
sisting of Ivan McKinney, Harold
Simpson, and Carl Yonder Ahe, made
its report after a week of thorough
investigation. It was found that to put
up permanent bleacher^ as originally
planned would be practically impossible
from the financial standpoint. It was
estimated that bleachers for 1500 peo
ple would cause an expense of not less
than $1000. Little help can be secured
from the student body because of the
financial conditions now existent, and
no help from the University due to
the fact that the proposed site for the
\ bleachers is off the campus proper.
Even temporary bleachers, to help con
struct which the University will loan
some lumber, will run up to $600 if
made to accommodate the crowd.
Fete Substitutes Opposed
The decision in regard to bleachers
was to continue the fete as before,
with the idea of constructing as many
bleachers as finances will allow, and
possibly charging admission to cover
some of the expense. It was decided
to leave the determination of the
amount to be expended up to the dis
cretion of the committee in charge of
the fete.
The suggestions to substitute a de
partmental exhibit, a pageant, or a
light comic opera < in the place of the
fete, were waived aside, as being not of
use under present conditions.
Committee Meeting Called
Charles Lamb, general chairman of
Junior Week-end festivities, announced
a meeting of all committees for Thurs
day evening, so that work can be
started immediately. All committees
but that for the canoe fete are included
in the following list:
Publicity — John Braddock, Jessie
Lewis. Kenneth Youel, Dorris Sikes.
Junior Prom—Nelson English, Imo
gene Letcher, John Gavin. Ivan Mc
Kinney, Florence .Tagger, Bernice Alt
stock. Delbert Oberteuffer.
^ Campus Luncheon — Lenore Cram,
Owen Callaway, Dorothy Chausse, Mere
dith Beaver, Beatrice Morrow, Mar
garet Duniwav.
Campus Day—Carl Vonder Ahe, Hu
bert Smith, Vern Fudge.
Tug of War and Burning of Caps—
George King. Rudd Brown, Ralph
Couch, Arthur Larson.
Programs—Morgan Staton, Herbert
Larson. Mabel Gilham.
Recommendations Carried
Recommendations two and .three of
the student council, which were tabled
at the last meeting, were reconsidered
and carried. These two recommenda
tions had to do with the limiting of the
canoe fete, and the construction of
bleachers.
The question of having a class dance i
was discussed, and it was decided to j
have an informal ’23 dance about April
20. The motion of one of the men of
the class to make this affair a “ladies’
choice” was carried by a very narrow
margin, every feminine member of the
class voting against the motion. As a
result, many men of the class are
wondering if they will be called up for
dates for the dance, even though the
motion has been put over.
O.A.C. CO-OP SPENDS $25,000
Oregon Agricultural College, Corval
lis, Feb. 21.—(P. I. N. 8.1—The O. A. C.

are now 46 members, including all sor
orities, fraternities and clubs on the
campus, representing a total of
nearly 1400 men and women.

GIRLS' CONCERT MARCH 4
22 SINGERS TO TAKE PART IN
HOME PERFORMANCE
Joanna James, Viola Powell, Bernice
Altstock, Florence Garrett
Will be Soloists
The next important musical event of
the year on the campus is the annual
home concert of the Girls' Glee club
which will be given at the Woman’s
building on the evening of Saturday,
March 4. The 24 University girls who
comprise the club are rehearsing every
night to make the concert one of the
successes of the season. With the kind
of intensive work the girls are now
doing there is every indication thpt
an effective and interesting program
will be produced.
The members of the club acquired
much valuable experience on their holi
day concert trip to Coos Bay. They
are working on several new numbers
which, added to those used on the tour
along with other selections, will make
a completely revised and increased
program. Joanna James, soprano, and
Bernice Altstock, alto, are the soloists.
The incidental solo work will be done
by Viola Powell and Florence Garrett.
Clever Feature on Program
Part II of the program is to be a
beautiful and impressive musical fea
ture which is entirely new. Costumes
and settings for this number are being
arranged by the girls and the whole
promises to be something original on
the campus. Another attractive num
ber, the nature of which will be di
vulged later, will be produced by Max
ine Buren and Margaret Phillips.
Last. year the tickets for all Glee club
concerts sold for $1. but this year
the price has been reduced to 75 cents
for any seat, all of them being re
served. Tickets will be on sale next
week at the Co-op and Kuykendall’s
Drug Store.

PORTLAND EDITOR
TO OE SPEAKER IK
VILIJUIDTHURSDAT
N. J. Levinson of Telegram to
Discuss Reliability
of Newspapers
TOPIC CONSIDERED TIMELY
Visitor is Veteran of Press
Who Has Worked on Coast
Since Nineties
N. J. Levinson, associate editor of
the Portland Telegram, will deliver the
assembly address Thursday morning on
the subject, “Can We Trust the Modern
Dailies for Sound Opinions.”
The arrangements for bringing Mr.
Levinson to the campus were made by
Dean George Rebec, of the graduate
school. “Mr. Levinson is considered a
very able man in Portland,” said Dean
Rebec, “and his opinion on problems
pertaining to the development and im
provement of journalism is valued very
highly. His articles upon political and
sociological problems, in which he is
deeply interested, are considered very
fine.”
To Address Journalism Class
Mr. Levinson has been invited by
Dean Eric W. Allen, of the school of
journalism to discuss the future of the
small town newspaper at an assembly of
junior and senior students in journal
ism, who will meet with the editing
class in the usual place at 10 o’clock,
Friday morning.
“Mr. Levinson’s assembly topic is
extremely timely,” said Dean Allen1
yesterday. "This school has come to'
the same conclusion at which Mr. j
Levinson has arrived, that is that opin-1
ion writing is a branch of journalism
the possibilities of which are not yet
' fully appreciated.”
Editor Several Years
Mr. Levinson is a veteran newspaper
man, having been associated with Paci
fic Coast newspapers since the early
nineties.
According to Dean C. V. Dyment, who
. formerly did journalistic work in Port
land, Mr. Levinson went from the staff
of the Oregonian to Fresno, where he
acted as the editor of a paper for a
number of years. He returned to Ore
gon a few years ago.
“Mr Levinson possesses a genial per
sonality,” said Dean Dyment, “and out
side of business hours he is associated
with the literati of Portland. He is
very widely read and enjoys many a
heated discussion on ‘why things are
not as they should be. ’ Philosophy
and sociology are groat fads of his.”
SOPHOMORE WOMEN
IN MERRY CABARET
Girls of Susan Campbell Hall Play
Hostesses for Picturesque
Event; 185 Attend
Feature dancing, soft drinks, music, j
and colored lights made merry the J
cabaret dinner given last night by the j
sophomores of Susan Campbell hall. It j
was held in the Woman's building, and j
the guests were all the girls of Susan
Campbell hall and the underclassmen
of Hendricks.
The 45 tables used were decorated
in pussy-willows, with a menu and pro
gram at each place. These were done in
cream-color, and a green caterpillar
crawling over a big “24” portrayed the
name of the place which was posted in
great letters above the door; “Cater
pillar Cavern.” One hundred and eighty
five girls came in costumes suitable to
the setting of a cabaret.
Entertainment was furnished during
the dinner from a brightly-lighted
stage, and a built-out platform for the
chorus. Cigarette-venders flew hither
and thither to supply the great demand
for their wares, which proved to be
candy. Bernice Myers, with a chorus
of six girls in costume sang, “The
Shiek,” “She’s a Mean Job,” and
“Ma.” Doris Bothwell gave a Swed
ish feature dance, and a toe-dance was
given by Adah Hartness. Helen Bur
field entertained with a pianologue.
An original sophomore song was given
as the Grand Finale.
The committee for the affair was
composed of Adah Hartness, chairman,
Juanita Jackson and Katherine Watson.
Dean Elizabeth Fox and Miss Broes
smit were patronesses.

JITNEY DANCE AND TEA
SCHEDULED FOR TODAY
Atmosphere of Eighteenth Century to
Prevade Woman's Building and
Hendricks Hall Affairs
Holidays in the middle of a school
week are very few and far between and
it is only fitting that they should be
celebrated in some manner by the stu
dent body, especially if such a holiday
happens also to be Washington’s birth
day.
This afternoon from 2:30 to 5:30
there will be a dance for all Univer
sity students in the Womnn’s building.
It ?is dateless, jitney and highly in
formal. Everyone is expected to turn
out.

lace ruffles and powdered wigs will bo
featured by those assisting at the Colon
ial Tea at Hendricks hall this after
noon from 3 to 5. Members of the
faculty and faculty wives are invited
to attend the affair, as are representa
tives from the living organizations on
the campus. The men, as well ns the
women, are asked to call on their way
to the dance in the Woman’s building.
Any students residing in town will bo

TARKINIiTON PLAY BRIGHT
MARIAN TAYLOR HAS TINE
CHANCE IN PRODUCTION
Ogden Johnson Cast as Leading Man;
Freshmen to Stand Long In
Ticket Line
Interesting American types, tense
situations, and clever lines all go to
make “The Country Cousin,” the Tar
kington play, which will be given at
the Eugene theatre, Saturday night,
as the annual student body play, one
of the most unusual productions over
attempted by campus dramatists, ac
cording to Miss Charlotte Banfiold,
director. »
Marian Taylor, who plays the lead,
has a chance to show her ability in a
remarkable' manner. Taking the part
of the country cousin she typifies the
unusual American country girl, well
read and full of life.
The leading man, Georgo Tewesberry
Reynolds (Ogden Johnson), is the sup
erficial type, very fond of cultivating
his family tree. The contrast between
the two brings out tlio conflict be
tween eastern and western ideals vory
vividly. TTis supercilious attitude,
when he first meets her and his later
devotion and humility makes one of the
principle centers of interest.
The high point in the action is the
cross-examination of the country cousin
after she. has been accused of stealing
a valuable brooch. How she clears her
self of the charge and triumphs over
those who would do her harm is a situa
tion that dramatic critics everywhere
have declared to be one of the best on
the stage today.
A recent addition to the cast, of the
play is Virgil Mulkoy, who takes the
part of “Blake,” a jeweler's messenger,
who helps the heroine out of the diffi !
cult position.
Because of the ruling that there shall |
be no advance sale and no holding out
of tickets a number of houses are plan .
ning on having their ■nderclassmen in :
front of the ticket window of the Eu
gene theatre twelve hours before it j
opens. Ah the opening hour hns been
set for nine Saturday morning, the day
of the play, this will mean that the |
first man will be in line by nine Friday !
night.
PINS ARE LOST IN SHIPPING
Package of Theta Badges Thought Loot
ed on Way From East
“If the contents of this paekege do
not satisfy your expectations in every j
particular, please advise us at once.’’j
This statement and a bit of crumpled j
tissue paper in an opened box, instead
of seven Kappa Alpha Theta Pins, ar j
rived yesterday at the Theta house.
The missing pins had presumably been !
looted on their journey from the eastern
factory to the waiting initiates. Home
thing over fifty dollars is the loss, and j
the compauy entails it by failing to
insure or register the package. The i
only other harm done, however, is to!
the seven pinless co-eds, who must ex
ercise their patience for a fow more
months.
CAMPUS EDITORS POSE
Three generations of editors, past
and present of the Oregana and The

Helen Manning, Wanna McKinney, and |
Inez King. Those of The Emerald
were Leith Abbott, Harry Smith, and
Floyd Maxwell.
VADSITY III FORM;
TAKES EMU LEAD;
Edlunds is High Man on Floor
With Eight Field Goals,
Some Difficult
BRADSHAW VISITORS’ STAR
Diminutive Captain Starts His
Team’s Scoring and is
Always Dangerous
The varsity basketball team took
the closing game of the Nevada series
last night at the Armory 24-19 in a
fast, hard fight. Up until well into
the final period of play the gamo was
nip and tuck with the invading quin
tet in striking distance of victory. But
in the last ten minutes of play the var
sity gradually pulled away and the
Sagebrushers threatened only in spas
modic scoring spurts.
The first half was close with both
teams fighting grimly for the possesion
of the ball, and ended with Oregon on
top of a 12-10 count. Bradshaw, the
visitors diminutive guard, opened the
fireworks with a pretty counter from
well behind the foul line. Andre, for
the varsity, evened things up a minute
later with a field goal which culmin
ated a play that brought the ball out
of the Nevadans’ territory. With the
score at four all Zimmerman got a field
goal close in that put Oregon in the
lead which they kept, throughout tho
contest.
Guards Work Well
The game last night was faster than
flic opener and both teams put up a
better brand of basketball. Tho work
of the Lemon Yellow guards was ex
cellent. last night, and both Burnett
and Couch repeatedly liroko up Nevada
plays nnd sent the ball back into their
own territory. The varsity put up tho
best brand of team work, which was
especially noteworthy in their passing
and checking, that, they have shown
on the home floor all season.
Eddie Edlunds at forward for the
Oregon five had his eye on the basket
from tho opening whistle and dropped
tho ball through the basket eight times
for a total of 1R points. Kddie dropped
them in from all angles and nothing
but hard luck kept, him from roping a
few more ns he showered the iron ring
with shots from all distances through
out the game. Andre playing the other
forward position was not up to form
last night due to a severe attack of
boils, but succeeded in garnering two
baskets.
For the invading quintet Bradshaw
at guard and Reed at forward were the
main factors in their play. Bradshaw
converted five out of eight free throws
and shot two baskets while Reed an
nexed three field goals.
Willamette Coming Friday
Due to the fact that tho Armory is
unavailable for the games with Wil
lamette on Friday and Saturday nights
tho contest will be staged in the men’s
gymnasium, tho first Friday afternoon
at 4 o’clock and the second Saturday
at 3 o’clock. An attempt was made to
switch dates with Willamette so that
the games would be played in Salem
this week but arrangements could not
be completed so the games will be
played as scheduled save that they will
come off in the afternoon instead of
evening.

One hundred and twenty-one “herea,”

Watson’s English Outline class, an

first warm days of the season.
Who said anything about “blue
Monday” or “spring feverf”
