KAPPA SIGMA TAKES LEW
Oregon Club Standing Not
Given Out Yet
The doughnut sports standing, in
cluding the results of the boxing and
wrestling tournament, with the excep
tion of handball, still places the Kappa
Sigs in the lead with ten points, as
compared with 14 for their nearest com
petitors, the Sigma Cliis and Kappa
Theta Chis who are tied for second
with that number. Sigma Alpha Ep
silon is third with 19 points, and Delta
Thu Delta fourth with 22. The next
jump is to the Fijis who have 27
points opposite their name. In these
events the object is to get the least
number of marks in order to rate high.
This result is compiled by leaving the
Oregon Club out, for the reason that in
the boxing and wrestling finals the
Oregon Club men were grouped in one
division only, while there are in reality
two branches of the club. This wTill
cut them out of the first places which
they took in both of the sports unless
all of the men come from one of the
groups. The new standing, including
that of the Oregon Club will be out as
soon as officials of that organization
can be got in touch with, and the plac
ing of the men decided.
Handball Undecided
The handball series is very undecided
at present, as the singles have been
dragging along, and probably will not
be finished for a week or more. The
doubles have been started, and should
be run off faster than the singles, as
there are not as many entries in this
wing of the sport. When this sport is
finished and the results tabulated the
standings of the different teams will no
doubt be greatly changed as the Kappa
Sigs, who are leading the league at pres
ent are faring badly in the court sport,
while their nearest rivals the Sigma
Chi team have been winning consist
ently. Since the doubles and singles
are to be averaged together in order
to determine the winner in this game
some other organization may yet come
to the front.
There are nine sports lined up on the
schedule for the doughnut series, ac
cording to the present plan. Four of
them have been run off, with handball
still on deck. Four more are yet to
come, the first of which will be track.
Representatives Meet
A meeting of representatives from all
organizations was held in Bill Hay
ward’s office yesterday to decide on
plans for the doughnut track meet
which will come off some time in the
near future. A committee of five men
was appointed to decide on the rules
for the meet, the eligibility rules, and
the date on which it will be held.
Tommv Wyatt was made chairman of
the committee. The other members
are Lot Beatie, Harold Dedman, Horace
Bvler, and Ivan McKinney. The com
mittee is to meet at 4:15 this evening
with Bill Hayward in his office, and
will decide at this time on the various
nliases of the doughnut track question.
Plaque Is Offered
Bill Hayward is to give a plaque for
the organization which has the biggest
steady representation out for track
during the year, according to the plan
which he outlined last night. He says
that at present there are not nearly
enough men out for the different
events, and that on Saturdays when the
trials are held there are only two or
three men entered in each event where
the lines should be full, and at least
five or six men out.
Bill stated, that he eared more for
men that took second and third places
than of a great many fir*t place win
ners. for the reason that second and
third place winners do just as much
work, and probably more, also they
do not get nearly the glory or praise
that the more accomplished first place
men receive.
The varsitv chances against O. A. C.
are pretty slim, said Bill, for although
there are a great many letter men
back, none of them are record breakers,
and most of them are onlv mediocre.
“I don’t see where we can win a sinele
first place in the track events with
the Aggies, from the lbfl yards to the
two-mile run.” was the way he ex
pressed his opinion of the subject.
The principal object of the doughnut
track meet is to stimulate interest in
this sport, and induce more men to
come out Bill explained. He made a
plea that all the representatives at the
meeting start the ball rolling for a
larger turnoue by interesting men in
their own organizations.
More Material Needed
“I could go out on the campus right
now, and pick out better material than
there is out on the track” said Bill in
emphasizing the plea that more of the
men with possibilities turn out. “The
freshmen and the sophomores are the
men that I want” he asserted. He
cited several cases showing how a good
track man could be developed from un
promising material if the men would
only come out and give him their time.
The point that more men without ex
perience would come out if Varsity men
were barred from the doughnut meet
was discussed. This plan may be fol
lowed in the meet. The fact that men
do not have to pass the physical ability
tests in order to get out for track was
explained. Bill urged that no men stay
away for this reason.
FIFTY STUDENTS TO TAKE
SUMMER MILITARY WORK
Civilian Camps Will Open July 15;
Oregon Men to be Sent to
Camp Lewis
Over 50 students in the University
R. O. T. C. have turned in applications
for summer training, in civilian camps,
according to an announcement made by
Major Baird. The camps are scheduled
to begin June 15 and to close July' 26.
The students from the University who
are accepted for summer camp train
ing will be sent to Camp Lewis, Wash
ington.
The army' summer camps are divided
into a Red and a White camp, the Red
being composed of civilians from 17 to
25 years old, and the White, of men
from 18 to 25 years of age unless the
student has successfully' completed a
course in the Red camp, previous to
hiS seventeenth year. Major Baird
states, however, that he regards most
of the cadets in the University' corps
as qualified to enter the White camp,
since they have already successfully
passed at least one y'ear of military
work at the University.
The Reserve Corps at Oregon is en
tirely composed of infantry, says Ma
jor Baird, but at other schools, the
corps is divided into, field artillery,
coast artillery, engineers, cavalry, air
service and other such divisions, as well
as the infantry'. The students w’ho
qualify from the several divisions will
be sent to various camps throughout the
■country.
Major Baird states that O. A. C. has
a machine gun and cavalry corps in ad
dition to the infantry, and that the
University of Washington has a divi
sion of the air service, as have also
several California universities.
The camp assignments of the various
divisions of the service for next sum
mer as quoted by the military depart
ment from the Ninth Corps Area Bul
letin, are: Infantry, Camp Lewis, Wash
ington. All units in Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho and Montana. All units in
California and Nevada to the Presidio
of San Francisco. Field Artillery,
Camp Lewis, Wn., Coast Artillery, Fort
Worden, Wn., Engineers, Camp Lewis,
Wn., Cavarly, The Presidio of Monte
rev, California, Quartermaster’s Corps,
The Presidio of San Francisco, Calif.
Medical, Dental and Vetinary Corps,
Camp Lewis, Wn.
TRANSITION EUROPE
(Continued from page one)
however,” he said, “have not driven the
best men out of the profession. It is
really wonderful. Inducements are not
great enough to draw in new men; de
votion is all that holds the others.”
In Transylvania where, under Hun
garian rule, Rumanian editors in a per
iod of about 10 years time piled up prac
tically 200 years of jail service for un
bridled statements, there is little op
pression even though the tables have
turned and the Rumanians are now in
the saddle. But in nearly all of troubled
central and southern Europe a rigid and
irksome censorship does exist with the
exception of Italy. Papers appear with
great white spaces, news services have
been disrupted by shifting national
boundaries, and the life of a newspaper
publisher is indeed a dog’s life.
Pope Pius XI Described
Insight into the personality of Pope
i ius ai was given dv ur. i lara on imi
basis of a long friendship beginning
early in the present century when he, a
recent graduate of Yale, was a student
of Latin manuscripts in the Ambrosian
library in Milan where the assistant li
brarian was Monsignor Ratti, now su
preme pontiff, and extending through
the years when on occasional visits to
Italy he found Ratti advanced to the
post of librarian, then of librarian at the
Vatican, then archbishop in Poland, arch
bishop in Milan, then cardinal and in
the space of a few months, pope. “ If
I were younger I would shoulder a gun
and fight for Italy” is the statement
attributed to Ratti by Dr. Clark, who
finds in him an intensely patriotic Ital
ian, one whose sympathies while in Pol
and led to his being kept incommunicado
for months by a suspicious German gov
ernment which was led finally to query
the Vatican as to the sympathies of the
strong-minded churchman who would
shoulder a gun for Italy.
Dr. Clark thinks that Pius will do
everything in his power to heal the old i
wound between the Vatican and the
Quirinal. He also attributes to Ratti
an expression of regret that the study
of the classics is falling off in America
and a statement that he could not under
stand how any man or woman who want
ed to become cognizant of civilization and
man's past progress could get along
without them.
Racial Conditions Bad
He told of strained racial conditions,
of national boundaries which might be
electrified for all the potential trouble
they hint. He drew a picture of little
children in a town split by a river which
marks the border of Poland and Czecho
slovakia who. carrying passports, cross
the bridge each day to schools on the
Polish side and each day undergo four
strict examinations by customs and bor
der officials. He told of the Czecho
slovak parliament where German depu
ties representing the large and unsympa
thetic German population of Bohemia
cannot understand the language in which
the proceedings are conducted, who sit;
mystified during important and heated
debates and then vote after whispered
advice from their compatriots with
greater linguistic development but per
haps varying political faith, who face a
house empty of Czechs and Slovaks when
; they rise to speak in German. He told,
too, how this new-born state composed
of Protestant Czechs, Homan Catholic
Slovaks, and the disturbing Germans rose
to its first national emergency and mo
bilized an army when Charles sought to
take back the Hapsburg crown but failed
because he was eight hours late in reach
ing Budapest. There were several riots,
he declared, and these were easily
i quelled.
Other Scholars Coming
Dr. Clark was brought to the campus
yesterday morning for a brief period
stolen from his trip south to San Fran
cisco in the progress of a lecture tour, in
accordance with the policy to which the
University has recently eommited itself
of bringing famous scholars for the value
of their contact with student and facul
ty groups. Dr. Alfred E. Zimmern, who
comes here March 16, 17, 18, and Dr.
Edgar E. Robinson, historian, who will
be here today, are brought, for longer
periods however, in accord with this plan.
Dr. Clark lectured yesterday before
classes in English history ami interpre
tive newswriting and spoke while a
luncheon guest of several members of
the faculty at the Anchorage. Ho is
highly respected, declare professors here
who have followed his work, lie gradu
ated in 1897 as valedictorian of his class
| at Yale; spent some years, a student at
the Universities of Grenoble, Munich,
and Paris, and of the American Academy
at Rome at which he was director of
classical studies from 1916 to 1919. From
1904 to 1916 he was assistant professor
of Latin at Yale. During the war he
lectured throughout America for the
Italian propaganda department. He is
director of a summer school at Quebec
i which is largely attended. It is planned
| that he return next year.

HOY VEflTCH GETS POST
ON FACULTY m BEIT
3-Year Appointment Comes
During New York Stay
Roy Veatch, a senior in the Univer
sity, received an appointment to the
staff of the American University of
Beirut, Syria, for a three-vear period,
during his stay in New York last week.
Four university graduates are to be
taken on the staff for next year and
Veatch is the first one to be appointed
out of 16 applicants.
The American University of Beirut
’>• located in Beirut, the chief seaport
of Byria. It has a student body of
o’ r 1000 and includes seven depart
ments. Most of the students are men.
However, there is a nurse’s training j
school in conjunction with the univer
sity which is the first step toward co
education in that part of the world.
The university is incorporated under
the laws of the state of New York and
is under the control of board of re
gents of the University of the State of
New York.
The Beirut institution, together with
Robert College of Constantinople,
which is under the same control, form
the chief representatives of higher edu
cation in the Orient and the Levant,
and exert a great influence on the af
fairs of that part of the world. They
are not denominational institutions, and i
hold no requirements of religious faith !
tor entrance. Over 30 different coun
tries are represented at Beirut, and j
more different forms of religion.
Veatch has not been assigned his!
particular department and subjects as j
yet, but will probably teach some
economics, his major here, and do some
boys’ work in the preparatory depart- i
ment.
Dr. H. L. Bowman, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church in Portland
held a similar appointment several
years ago and was influential in get
ting the appointment for Veatch.
MOTHER OE RUTH HAYMEN DIES
Mrs. Ernest Hayinan, mother of Ruth
Haymen, a student at the University

SATURDAY CLASS
IS NOTHING NEW IN SCHOOL
OF OBAK
No matter how the faculty decides
about the six-day week, there is one de
partment of this man's university that
will not be effected by it. That is the
School of OBAK, which grants the de
grees of P.S. (pool shark) and G.F.
(good fellowship).
His nibs, the head of the department,
said yesterday: “We have found the
needs of the student so great that this
school has had to conduct Saturday
classes since the beginning of the Uni
versity. We work on the principle that
if you treat a man square and give him
the most for his money, he will natur
ally enjoy coming here and will show
great improvement.
“Our curriculum is popular. Take
for examplo our course of cigars. Wo
have kept it so up-to-date and full of
the best that onr counter is always crowd
ed with eager students.
“Then there is the department of
lunch. We have recently installed one of
the most complete laboratories in the
town to tako care of tho increasing num
bers who enroll there. Huntley, the head
of this section, has spent a lifetime in
research, ascertaining the best and most
economical formulas for grub. That is
why the luncheonette is able to feed you
so good at such u reasonable price. If
you haven’t enrolled you had better do
so while there still is room.
“OBAK'S is tho school popular and
progressive, the only one which has a
regular recognized group of pipe courses,
lie recognized long ago the fact that so
many pipes are necessary to every man
if he is to get through without trouble.
If your other studies get too much for
you, enroll in OBAK’S pipe course and
roll the merry hours away. Briers, gourd,
corn cob and antique—wo have them all.’’
DEBATE CHANGES
SUGGESTED FOE BENEFIT OF
STUDENTS
Oregon meets the University of Wash
ington and Stanford tonight to settle the
| question of const debate honors. Like
most debates this one will be about a
question that few of us know much about
and one that we are paying several con
gressmen to settle for ns.
The question is a good one; that is, to
t forget. As we said before, we are hiring
several good men to settle it for us, so
why not spend our time settling some of
1 the questions that daily arise in the
I mind of the average student?
For example. “Why is OBAK’S” or
“Why does the luncheonette serve the
best, meals for your money in town?”
These are matters that are coming up
to the student every day. Their solution
will materially help the status of society
when solved.
Not only that, but the audience would
get a regular education if they listened
to the talk. For instance we wonder
how many are aware that they can get
Chili Con Came for “Oc, and a Clam
Chowder for oidy 15c at our snow white
lunch counter.
And then there is always the question
of whether it is safe to ream out one’s
pipe with the good old fashioned pockot
knife when a Bobbie Perfect Pipe
Reamer will not only do the work better
but is a regular insurance against hack
ing up the brim o’ the bowl. The life
of many a good pipe has been shortened
by the old method when all could have
been saved lmd the owner known about
the Bobbie.
