BOW TIE FAD
Declared to Be Repetition
of “Ancle’s Youth" Period and
MAY INDICATE
That Hoop ykirts and Coats
of Mail Will Characterize New
STYLE CYCLE
By Jay Dee
Tl.ro years ago vouM raise your
eyes and kid the man who wore bow
ties and if youM say. “You jazz bow
fool." he'd up and knock you for a
gool. That distant past may now be
gone because the restless world moves
on, but new the thing which is was
Then and that which was is back agai'
• • •
When I was in a grammar grade an
attic trunk T chanced to raid. Its
depths were filled with ancient books
and funny clothes of antique looks. And
down beneath a beaver hat T chanced
to find an old cravat. It was a wide
ami spotted bow, the kind they wore
some years ago. Instead of tying with
a string 'twas held on firmly by a
spring. At it 1 laughed in childish
glee anil dragged it down for all to see.
Then me my mother gently chided be
cause the heirloom I derided. “This
tie," she said, “your Uncle Earl wore
when he courted Auntv Pearl. On silk
en scarfs and bat-wing collars he used
to spend his extra dollars.” Regret
fully I laid it back and murmured,
“Oh, alack, alack! To think that rela
tive of mine should thus disgrace the
family line."
Oh men may come and men may go,
but styles, it seems, move to and fro.
So now the necks of all the land are
unadorned by four-in-hand. Instead,
they rvear a rubber tie about the size
of half a fly. The collar button scarce
it’d hide when both the wings are
tucked inside. Aud if it’s on an un
clean shirt it is no shelterer of dirt.
It has advantages, I guess, for men who
haven t time to dress. Ferhaps it. saves
a useless knock from James H. G. at
eight o’clock, but it sure makes a fel
low yap when pulled 'wav out and then
let snap.
Among the things that oft repeat
are history, profs and frat house meat,
but styles, it now must be averred, join
with the duplicating herd. Perhaps
within the next four years well powd
ered wigs will hide our ears. White
Tuffs may then adorn out necks and
coats will be of purple checks. The
football men in suits of mail will chase
their rivals down the dale, and on the
race the galley slaves will locomote the
pigging knaveV Girls* bathing suits
will be full length (to swim in them
will take brute strength) and dancing
frocks will swell with hoops while
jokers call them “chicken” coops. All
this may be, mv gentle friend, before
your days on earth do end.
But what has this to do with that!
WTho is obtuse and why is fat? The
fact remains that tiny bows survive and
flourish like the rose. Elastic, clamps
and made-at-liome bow ties peep forth
where’er you roam. There’s bows and
beaux and Cupid’s bows but these here
are the final dose.
“Beg pardon?—Yes, I’ve worn one
too.—Why?—Oh, ’cause all *he fellows
do.—Like ’em?—Well now, yes and no.
you see they're just a come-back bow.”
WALKLEY TO READ ARTICLE

Will be Heard by Chemists
Glenn 0. Walkley will present a paper
before the Chemists’ club, which will I
meet Thursday evening in McClure hall
at 7:15. The lecture will be on “Geo- 1
logical Occurrences of the Halides.”
Mr. Walkley has spent considerable
time on the preparation of this article

PROGRAM OUTLINED
FOR HIGH SCHOOLS’
CONFERENCE HERE
Committee on Entertainment
Headed by Bartholomew
Sends Invitations
SESSIONS APRIL 14-15
President Campbell to Talk
At Banquet; Codes to
be Discussed
Plaits for the high school editors’
and student body presidents’ conference
which is to be held here April 1-1 and
15 are progressing rapidly. A com
mittee for the reception of the visi
tors has been appointed and is busy
extending invitations for the occasion,
and formulating a tentative program.
L\ le Bartholomew, president of the
student body, is acting as chairman.
Those who will assist him are Helen
Carson, secretary of the student body;
Ella Rawlings, president of the Wo
men 's League, and Floyd Maxwell,
editor of the Emerald. It is expected
that all the invitations will be out by
the end of this week. Time will then
be devoted to the working out of a
definite schedule ot entertainment far
the guests.
Letters Sent Principals
Together with the extending of invi
tations to high school students, let
ters are being written to the principles
of all the schools which have been
asked to send representatives. These
letters are in the manner of an explana
tion of the idea of the conference, and
ask the aid of the principals in select
ing proper representatives from their
respective schools.
“Our suggestion for the first meet
ing” reads the letter to the school
heads, “Would be that the president
and the secretary of the student body
for the current year, or authorize sub
stitutes, be empowered to attend. There
would be clearly some advantage in
having one boy and one girl as repre
sentatives. These should be in addition
to the editor.
“We believe that such a conference
will speedily develop an interesting and
valuable program of work for itself.
Such contributions as our student body
can make will, of course, be at the dis
posal of the meetings. We are a mem
ber of the Pacific Association of Col
lege Students and have much informa
tion on all phases of student body
operation and activities. We can prom
ise some notable and practical speak
ers, both from the campus and other
towns. The school of journalism will
provide an excellent program for the
editors.”
Conferences to be Concurrent
There are to be conferences of stu
dent body presidents, separate from
editors’ conferences and meetings of
secretaries of high school student
bodies and other high school jjirls.
They will be held at the same hours,
and will be led by members of the Uni
versitv faculty and others. There will
be joint sessions for discussion of com
mon problems. Several topics have
been suggested for the conferences. For
the student body presidents there have
been subject proposed such as “Problems

Short Story by Edison Marshall
Rated America’s Best for 1921
To have the distinction of having writ
ten the best short story published by an
American in this country during 1921.
of receiving a $500 prize for it. and of
being invited to attend the annual dinner
of the Society of Arts and Sciences in
New York, belongs to Edison Marshall of
Medford. Oregon, a student in the Uni
versity of Oregon in 1914 and 1915, and
a member of Delta Tau Delta.
The annual contest, which is given
yearly by the Society of Arts and Sci
ences in memorial of O. Henry, according
.to Professor W, P. G. Thacber of the
rhetoric and journalism departments, j
was brought into being as a remonstrance
against the O’Brien Anthology, a pub!
cation which for six years has been com
posed of the so-called best short stories
of the year.
Mr. Marshal] has accepted an invito
tion to attend the annual dinner of the
society at the Hotel Astor. New York.
March 20, at which time he will receive
his award in person.
The prize-winning story, ‘‘The Heart
of Little Shakira,” was published in
Everybody's Magazine in January. 1921.
It was later printed in Current Opinion,
the editor of which compares Marshall’s
work with that of Kipling.
“It is the story of a tiger hunt in
India, with little Shakira, a Hindu lad,
as the principal character,” said Pro
fessor Thaeher. “Shakira saves the life
of an English sahib, a famous tiger
hunter, and at the same time puts an
end to the career of a notorious man
eating tigress. It is a story of adven
ture, of action and heroism, with enough
of an authentic background of animal
and village life of India to provide the
necessary local color.”
“In the years 1910 and 1917 Mr. Mar
shall was presented with ‘roll of honor’
stories, supposed to have permanent lit
erary value,” said the Morning Ore
gonian. “In 1919 he was included in the
prize volume for the first time with ‘The
Elephant Remembers.' In 1920 the corn
mittee said of his work, ‘Edison Mar
shall has written the epic “Brother Hi!
the Elk.” In spite of its length, some
1500 words, the committee was mightih
tempted to request it for publication.’ ”
Edison Marshall was among the found
ers of Ye Tabard Inn. the local chapter
of .Sigma Upsilon, and was the donor
the Edison Marsliall annual short story
prize, the contest for which is now open,
llis friends on the campus are making
an effort to have him stop here on '
return from New York, to tell some
of his experiences.
PROBLEM OF MERCHANT
MARINE LECTURE TOPIC
Prof. Peter Crockatt Discusses Ship
ping Interests: Offers Limitation
as Solution
—
To create a subsidy, consisting of
i a 10 per cent diversion of revenue from
imports, to be used to aid shipping in
terests during the present busuess de
pression is the proposition submitted
: by the llardiug administration, said
i'rof. Peter Crockatt, >f the department
of economics, in a lecture at the " Y ”
hut last night regarding the merchant
marine situation on the Pacific.
i Up to the time of the Civil War Amor
iea held its own in shipping eompeti
tion. Then, with the change from
wooden to steel ships, England forged
j ahead.. England could procure steel
and other material for shipbuilding
cheaper at that time than could the
United States, and England shipping
interests in addition received a sub
sidy from the government. Unable to
cope with this opposition without
government aid. American capital
naturally turned to the development of
internal resources such as railroads,
mining, etc. Not enough interest was
taken in the development of shipping
to make the American merchant marine
an important factor in world wide ship
ping.
Between 1014 and HU!!! America spent
$4,500,000 on the development of her
shipping interests, and now owns 11.
000,000 of the entire world tonnage of
65,000,000. This fleet, which cost up
to $l!50 a ton to build, can now be
sold for only $150 a ton, or sixty i
cents on the dollar.
Merchant marine tonnage must be
limited in the same manner as naval
armaments, according to the speaker. :
to prevent useless expenditure for com
petitive construction of unnecessary
ton nage.
ACTIVITIES M OUTLINED
GREATER OREGON COMMITTEE
TO REACH ALL HIGH SCHOOLS
Advantages of Higher Education to be
Subject; Cooperation of all
Students Asked
The outline of activity for the Greater
Oregon committee during Spring vaca
tion was discussed at a meeting of all
members held yesterday afternoon. Top
ics for high school talks were outlined
by Earl Kilpatrick, a member of the
faculty promotion committee. “The ob
ject of University speakers should be to
impress upon the high school students
that they actually need'the university,”
he said. “The need of a vocational or pro
fessional training such as they can obtain
at Oregon, together with the advantage
of general education, should be told from
the standpoint of the students.”
Mr. Kilpatrick told of the activity of
the faculty promotion committee, and its
plan to send speakers to various high
schools of the state. This committee is
ready to cooperate with the Oregon stu
dent representatives in every way, he
stated.
The Greater Oregon committee is ton
large and unwieldy at present, according
to several members, who suggested that
only representatives who could be de
pended on be retained. One plan pro
posed was that speakers of ability be
selected, and that each should cover a
district composed of several high schools. j
“It is very important that all high j
schools of the state be covered during
vacation,” said Paul Patterson, chair- I
man of the committee, “and since many
members do not. either through lack of j
interest or time, perform the duties as
signed to them, some other means o'
reaching the schools must be found.
This plan is the best solution offered so
far.” Final action on some plan will i
be taken at the next meeting of the com
mittee.
Charles Lamb, chairman of the Junior j
Week-end committee, asked that pamph
lets containing accurate information of
the departments of the University be.
placed at the disposal of week-end guests.
It was also suggested that the University
he open for inspection of the students
Friday and Saturday of that week, am.
that interesting exhibits be prepared b>
tlie schools and departments for tin
benefit of the visitors.
It was decided that the Emerald
should be asked to publish a special e
tion to lie placed in the hands of tin
high school students Friday night -
Junior Week-end. Other plans for eo
operation between the Greater Oregon
and Junior Week-end committees will In
discussed later.
“Oregon must reach every high school 1
this vacation,” said Patterson, “and to
do so will need the cooperation of every
student, regardless of whether or not P.J
is a member or the Greater Oregon com
mittee.” All committee members are
urged to be present at the next meeting,
which will be announced later by ( hair
man Patterson.

NATIONALLY KNOWN
MUSICIANS MM BE
BEARD ON CAMPUS
Plan Presented to Create Fund
to Provide for Appearance
of Better Artists
CHARGE WOULD BE SMALL
Ail Students to Share Cost
oi Concerts; Landsbury
Favors Pian
A resolution formed by the music
activities committee of the associated
students yesterday, provides a piaai
whereby Oregon students will be en
abted to hear nationally known music
artists, at an approximate cost of 17
to _o cents for each concert. The step
was taken because it was held that
the l niversily is behind other eduea
tional institutions in offering such op
portuuities, atm that it is impossible
to bring these artists to the campus
under present conditions.
The committee, in consideration of
these facts unanimously passed the fol
lowing resolutions, which will be pre
sented to the student council at its
regular weekly meeting this evening:
"We, the music activities committee
; of the associated students, recommend
the creation of a special music fund
to provide the necessary guarantees for
artists recitals, and th^s fund be se
j cured by the addition of 50 cents per
term to the existing student body fee.
" We further recommend that any sur
plus money from the artist series be
used in providing for any deficit in
curred by the student body musical
organizations in promoting the inter
osts of the University.”
Fifty Cents to be Term Charge
Under the proposed plan, the 50
! cents as paid by each student at thp
outset of each term will cover all cost
of concerts for that term, and the pre
sentation of the regular student body
ticket will be sufficient to admit the
student. The plan will place the con
certs and recitals on the same financial
basis as athletic games.
As the concerts have been conducted
in the past, the burden of the expense
has fallen on the shoulders of a few
interested, who have supplied the vari
ous artist’s managers with a guarantee
amounting in most cases to approxi
mutely $500. In most cases the audi
once has been insufficient to pay -s'x
ponses, with the result that these few
have lost heavily.
Under the proposed plan, with each
student paying his share, the cost of
each concert will be reduced to about
17 cents if three concerts are given each
term. According to Dean Landslmry
of the school of music, the plan would
enable the student body to hear at least
twice each term, an artist of no lesser
rank than Paul Althouse, the Metro
politan tenor.
Members Make Statements
Following are the statements of the
members of the committee regarding
the proposed resolution:
Dean Uandsbury, of the school of
music. “Oregon is one of the few
schools of importance which does pot
put artists' recitals within reach of the
students’ porketbooks. Under the plan
as proposed the student body ticket
would admit to these recitals, at
actual cost of about 17 cents.
This is a purely cooperative scheme and
not high finance. Why should not the
student body make the profit instead
of the middle man.”
John Anderson, chmrman of tin com
mittee. “In the past considerable criti
cism has been directed toward the I ni
ver.sity because of lack of opportunit
ies for hearing celebrated eoncert per
formers. Experience has proved that
the creation of this fund is the only
satisfactory answer to this criticism.”
All Could Hear Artists
Bernice Altstock. “Financial embar
rassment often prevents students from
paying the price it is necessary to do
ntand in order to bring the best music
inns to the campus. This plan will
make it possible for every student to
attend concerts of the class. There
are but few students on the campus who
would not enjoy hearing such attrac
tions.
FACULTY WILL GIVE DANCE
Members of Winter Dancing Class Will
Celebrate Completion of Course
The faculty is going to “step.” All
winter a dancing class has been in pro
gress under the tutelage of Professor
Sid Woodhouse of the Kugene Dancing
\cadeniy, and the graduation exercises
will be held at Dreamland hall Thurs
day night.
The dancing class has been meeting
twice a month during the winter term,
and has been attended by from 30 to
Ti each time.

small staff has proved very efficient,”
the editor said, in speaking of the
progress ol the work on the book up to
1 date. There are only 2b members on
flu* staff besides the editor and man

All literary and advertising copy is
complete, and the only material which
is held up to some extent is the photos.
This has been largely laid to the photo

Lemon-Yellow Victorious in
Four Games: Nevada and
Willamette Victims
TEAM PRAISED FOR SPIRIT
Coach Looks for Improvement
Next Year: Ten Men
Make Letters
With the scries that Oregon dropped
to Willamette Inst week end the var
site basketball team wound up a sea
son which from the standpoint of
games won was certainly not a success.
Twenty six games were played by the
l.emon Yellow from the opening of the
season proper against Multnomah club
on the 7th of January through the
fnal game against Willamette played
last Saturday night.
Two games were taken from the Ne
vada quintet, while the only conference
wins that Holder's proteges were able
to register were the two over Willam
ette in the games played here February
- I and L’o, making a total of four wins
for the season.
Only two letter men were on the
s<111;111 lit the beginning of the season,
Mare Latham, forward, and Francis
Heller, guard. With these two vete
rans as a nucleus (’each Bolder built
a team which if it did not win many
games was invariably found fighting
to the final gun.
Tribute to Orogon Fight
A rare compliment was paid the
Oregon team on the southern trip. It
was at Stanford and at the close of
lh(> last game id' the series, that finally
went to the Cardinals after a bitter
fight, a man came up to Coach Bolder
and sticking out his hand said: “I
want to shake hands with you, coach.
I came 50 miles to see this game, for
I wanted to see how a team that had
lost all its games would play. T con
sider it nothing short of phenomenal
the manner in which your team played
after losing all their games. They
fought as though it was the first game
of the season.”
The Lemon Yellow finished at the
bottom in both conferences, winning no
games in the Pacific Coast race and
but two in the Northwest, group. How
ever, th- prospects seem much brighter
for the ensuing year, for all the pres
ent sipmd with the exception of Bel
ler and Latham, who graduate, will bo
on the job with some excellent mater
ial coming up from the frosh in Aim,
King, Haynes and Paulson with Hal
Chapman and Hunk Latham eligible
once more.
Bill Spoar a Find
Poach Bolder considers that he has
a find in Bill Spear for the coining year
and states that the big fellow should
make a corking good player next sea
son. Spear and Chapman have been
used in practice against the varsity for
some time.

Vil lard's Green Leafing Said
To Be in Peril of Destruction
Nothing would s«‘'*in to safor on
this campus than tlie Virginia creeper
that gives life to the drab walls of old
\illard hall. Hut awarding to Honald
Shepard, head gardner, they daily!
stand the vhanvn of being torn from
their places.
'I’his danger might easily arise should
too heavy a wind sweep the eampus or
should a “silver thaw” strike the
eountry; tor the (jucmpiifolia, which
is the Sunday name for Virginia
creeper, has a bad habit of aeeumulat
ing an excess of dead wood wherever
it (limbs. The extra weight of this
load is the threatening element of Vil
lard’s mural decoration *
t alifornia red woods are a part of
the campus tree collection that seem
not to be known by many. There are
several on the grounds, one of them
near the Condon Oaks on Eleventh
street.
According to Mr. Shepard they grow
very fast, faster, indeed, than the
average ( vergreen. They can be picked
out by the great si/,e of their lower
trunks.
The eampus ga rdf tiers have been
busy during the 'ast few weeks putting
several beds of perennial flowers into
shape. Plants have been placed around
Susan Campbell ball, the Woman’s
building and Hendricks hall.
Larkspur, Sweet Williams and Holly
hocks form the majority of the new
plants being raised. A large patch of
pansies timl tulips have also been
plan toil ill n bed on I .'niveroitv street
just, back of Hendricks hail.
‘be purpose for planting such
flowers is to furnish material for com
mencement day decorations and bo
itm*l.. This coins to l>e a new thing
on the rumpus.
Other than the other beds mentioned
a group of smaller ones are now being
cultivated back of the power house fat
ing I 1th street. There are planted
pansies, < 'unterbcrr\ Hells, Sweet Wil
limns IVnch Hells, Hair Hells and
Shasta daisies. There are nearly three
hundred plants in this group, which
were started last fall.
There will la* many roses for campus
bocpiets this summer if the University
rose garden back of friendly continues
to thrive as at present. They were
planted especially for cutting purposes
in order to save the blooms oil other
parts of the campus.
Mine. Caroline Testout, Frau Carl
Hruschki, Fran/ Ueggan, Ophelia and
Baby Rambler are the names of the
varieties found there.
More than ,’!000 rose cuttings are also
planted in this garden. These were
started this winter and will be ready
to transplant in the spring. Such young
plants are used for extension of beds
mid replenishment of old stands. Mr.
Shepard estimated that he could count
on 50 per cent of the slips planted to
live.
