Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1922 NUMBER 95 ORGANIZATIONS TO DRAW FOR ENTRIES III NEW FEIE FUN Sororities and Fraternities Will Work Together in Decorat ing Canoes COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED Work Under Way; Publicity is Started; May Stage Dance to Increase Funds Men’s and women’s organizations will work ogether in providing entries for the Canoe Fete. This decision was reached at the meeting of the general Junior Week-end committees last night, following a considerable discussion as to the best plan of cutting down on the number of entries. A meeting will be held of representatives of the vari ous organizations, at which time a lot tery will be held, whereby each soror ity will draw a fraternity as partner in putting on a float in the Fete. This will cut down the number of entries to about sixteen. This decision is in keep ing with the recommendations of the student council, which suggested some time ago that the number of organiza tions is now to large for a continuance of the old plan of putting on the Fete to be expedient. Work to Begin Soon The work on the Canoe Fete will begin immediately as the appointment of a committee by Tom Wyatt, presi dent of the junior class has just been made for this purpose. Harold Simp son, treasurer of the class, is to be chairman of the fete. The other mem bers of the committee are James Ross, ^ Frank Vonder Ahe, A1 Krohn, Ruth Fowler, Helen Murdock and Margaret Jackson. This year considerable more effort will have to be expended on the fete than is usually the case, due to the many changes in the event. The com mittee is now at work obtaining a lease of the property on which the bleachers are to be erected. This has become necessary as a result of the de cision to put up permanent bleachers to accommodate the spectators at the fetes over a period of years. The Canoe Fete committee is plan ning to secure a date for a student body dance, the proceeds of which will go toward the erection of the permanent bleachers. Two Posters for Publication John Braddock, chairman of public ity, announces that all material is ready for publication, and will be sent out within the near future. Two kinds of posters will be sent out to all towns, and principally to high schools. One poster is made up of pictures of the cam pus, buildings, and other scenes, while the other will be in the nature of car toons. Letters will be sent to prospect ive University students in the senior classes of the high schools, and articles sent out to the various town papers. Constructive work is being started by all committees for the annual cam 's pus event. The second general meet ing was held last night, and will be a Tegular event on each Wednesday evening until the time of junior week end.

GRAPH GIVES ENROLLMENT Curve Carries Idea of Number of Students Since 1902 The increase in registration at the University during the last few years is shown very clearly in the graph that has just been completed by Hiss Ger, trude Stephenson, chief clerk in the registrar’s office. Miss Stephenson started to plot her line taking as zero the year 1902-03, when there was a registration of 187 students. From then the line worked up gradually, the 500 mark being reached in 1908-09. until the school year of 1918-19 showed an attendance of 1114 students. Then the line makes a startling leap upwards, as in the next year there was registration of 1725. The curve is still rising as the fgures for 1920-21 show a registration of 1842, while this year 2190 students haye reg istered.

Among the ones which will report are the Greater Oregon com mittee, the campus committee, the mu sic committee and the different activit ies committees. Not only is it desired to have a large attendance of students but faculty members are urged to come out more than they have in the past.

Gregory, of the school of education has written an article on “The Reading Vocabulary of Third Grade Children which was accepted by the Journal of Educational Research I and will be published soon. The article takes up the vocabulary . of the normal third grade child. There are nine required books that they must study, according to Mr. Gregory. Any ■ child that can meet the required course will have a minimum vocabulary of 5190 words and with very little out side reading will have a vocabulary of 6000 words. “Contrary to statements sometimes heard on the Btreets that the average working man has a vocabulary of 600 words/ is far from true, said Dr. Greg ory. It would only seem logical to ■ think that the working man would have i a vocabulary at least equal to that of a third grade child.” POPULAR CONCERT INCLUDES NUMBERS OF WIDE INTEDES1 Opening Selection to Star Promptly at 8 o’clock in Villard Hall JOHN SIEFERT WILL SING Overture from “William Tell’ Will be Played; Lora Teshner Soloist The program of tonight’s “Pop’ (short for popular-priced) concert ii Villard hall, by the University Sym phony orchestra has been arranged b\ Hex Underwood, the director, to appea to a wide range of people, and althougl it contains none of the so-called “popu lar” music, it is made up of numbers in which there is an interest for every one.

The price of ad mission has been made low with tin hope that the students and townspeople may take advantage of it and hear i class of entertainment that ordinaril> would cost several times the 25 cents asked, according to the management “William Tell” overture by Rossini probably the most famous of overtures will open the program. The cello sole with which the number begins is playec by Lora Tesliner, and represents the dawn of day. After the dawn comes the storm, which is considered one oi the best storm scenes ever portrayed in music. The storm abates and a calir follows in which most of the effect is carried out by the interweaving oi counter melodies by flute and oboe Then, without any warning, comes ths march which forms the heaviest oi finales. Miss Teshner to Play Another notable number is “Ths Song to the Evening Star” from Tann haueser by Wagner, played by Lors Teshner as a cello solo. This solo wil' be accompanied by the full orchestra John B. Siefert will sing “Wulther’s Prize Song.” This is the most populai aria from “Der Meistersinger,” Wag ner’s only comic opera. He will alsc have- as his accompaniment the full orchestra. “Yalse Triste” by Sibelius, the fam ous Finn composer, follows. Sibelius describes the state of mind of a fever stricken woman; follows her througl her delirium until she leaps from liei bed and dances to the music, finally dropping dead. This number enable; the orchestra to bring into play it; fullest tone quality. March is Final Number i For the final number the orchestr; presents “Einzugmarsche der Bo.jaron’ by Halvorsen. The composer portrayi the approach of a marching body oi men, their arrival and departure. Tin clarinet first tells of the distant ap proach, after which the instrument! gradually work in until the full or chestra takes up the march. The march ers departure is portrayed by tin gradual fading out of the instrument! until the clarinet again takes up th« solo. The flute is the last to be heart as the marchers retire. Both the last two numbers wen played by the Portland Symphony or chestra in its concert at the opening of the Woman’s building and the lat ter was one of the best received of th< entire program.

FLAT RATE INVESTIGATED FACULTY DISCUSSES ADOPTING NEW SYSTEM AT MEETING Payment of Laboratory Fees May be Made Equal For All Students Regardless of Subjects Dr. A. E. Caswell was appointed head of a committee to investigate the feasibility of substituting a flat rate system for the present system of pay ing laboratory fees, at a meeting of the faculty colloquium held Tuesday evening. It was argued that a flat rate system would cause the burden of the lab fee to fall equally on all students, instead of having one pay almost nothing while others pay as high as $15 for ono term. According to statistics presented by Karl Onthank, secretary to President Campbell, the average foe for any one student in one term is approximately $3.62 or a little over $10.00 a year. A flat rate fee for the use of library books was suggested to ^enable the li brary to purchase more copies of books which are used in the literature courses thus enabling the student at a small cost to have the books which would cosr him a considerable sum should he have to purchase them himself. One of the principle arguments against the flat rate system was that the present system has proven satis factory, and that if a flat rate system was established here there would be a chance for an increased expense in the laboratories as money could then be drawn from a general fund. Further statistics,‘presented by Karl Onthank, showed that there has been a gradual increase in the laboratory fees during the past three or four years. This increase, said Onthank, has been made necessary by the increase in ser vice in the laboratories, and that there will be another increase in the fees next year. IDEAS OF STUNTS WANTED Names Must be Turned In to Program Committee by Saturday The eight organizations which drew positions in thiB year's April Frolic are to have the names and ideas of their stunts in to the program com mittee by Saturday of this week, ac cording to Wanna McKinney, chairman.

HIGH SCHOOL GETS GAMES Eight or Ten Contests are Schedhled for Baseball Season The University high school has com ; menced the baseball season by schedul i ing games with the Springfield and Eu gene high schools. Coach McIntyre plans on about 8 or 10 games for j the season and is now making arrange . , merits with Corvallis, Albany, Cottage ! Grove and Roseburg. Out of the seven basketball game* which were played in the past season the University team won two, which were the games with Corvallis and Cot ; tage Grove. The prospects for the team next year are good according to the coach, who states that all those on ' | the team this year will be in school . again next fall. FINAL INTERCLASS Hayward Arranges Nine Weeks of Competition for Tracksters — FIRST MEET ON APRIL 8 Prospects for Winning Team not Bright According to Oregon Mentor Final tryouts for' class track teams will be hold on Hayward field Satur day afternoon, starting at 2:30. The events will bo the 220-yard dash, the 1440-yard run, the half mile and the i mile. The coaches are anxious to see ; a big representation from each class ns it is all working toward the shap ing of conference material. Rain prevented the regular Saturday competition last woek, and has ham pered training efficiency with seem ingly endless showers. But despite this fact the work is going ahead with a constant turnout. Trainer “Bill” Hayward has the pro gram made out for his proteges to put them into shape before and between the conference meets. If all these work out successfully there will be nine straight weoks of competition for the tracksters. Interclass Belays First The first of the series will be the interclass relays on April 8, one week before the All-state relay to be held here. This will enable the coaches to pick some of their material for that event. Then between the time of the Northwest Relay Carnival at Seattle, April 22, and the Oregon-O. A. C. meet at Corvallis, May 13, two more local contests will be staged. The first of these,' the inter-class meet, will Come on April 29, and the second, the inter organization meet, will come on May 6, one woek before the Oregon-O. A. C. meet. Tho men who show the best form in these meets will take part in the con ference meets, according to Hayward, and he hopes to soe good material de veloped from organizations that are not already out. Men Not Turning Out “I could go through any of the houses right now,” Bill said, “and pick out better track material than is turn ing out.” An inter-fraternity meet may bring men out to compete for their houses that would never come out under any other conditions. Speaking of Oregon’s chances with the Aggies this year Bill said that he did not know of a single track event that Oregon stood any chance of win ning. “if we beat them, he said, it will be by taking seconds and thirds in the track events, and coming out on top in the field events.” Tinder those conditions it will take all tho men can put into it from now on to put the Lemon-Yellow over the top. While Oregon may take seconds and thirds in the track events, there is lit tle assurance that she can take enough firsts in tho field evonts to make up tho deficiency. However, the aspirants are improving each week, and when the time comes for action they may be able to hand out a few surprises. HANDBALL SERIES NOW ON Schedule Announced for Double*; Sigma Ohl Win Singles The first round of tho handball dou bles is about over, and any team wish ing to take advantage of tho privilege ! of challenging another team will have to schedule the match and get it played I off this week, says Coach Barnes, who has this sport in charge. Each defeated team is allowed only one challenge. After the games this week there will be only four teams left in each of the two leagues, and the semi-finals the week following will eliminate two of these from each league. Notice of the games which are scheduled are posted on the bulletin board in the gym, and are also in the Saturday Emerald, so that all teams should report promptly for their games and should also take the scores to tho office immediately after the contest is over. The doubles and singles are to bo averaged together for the final stand ing in handball, which will constitute only one sport in the doughnut league. The Sigma Chis have already won the singles and are going strong in the doubles, but will have to play a strong game in order to geat the Kappa Sigma ! team which took second in the singles and so far has been playing a wicked j game in the doubles.
