Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, MARCH 16. 1922 NUMBER 100 EUROPEAN OUTLOOK BECOMING BETTER, SAYS DR. 2IMMERN Washington Conference Called Wonderful Success by Noted Scholar FACULTY DINNER ENJOYED Europe Convalescing; Britain and U. S. Expected to Work Together Dr. Alfred E. Zimmern, who with Madame Zimmer, has come to the Uni versity to give a course of lectures by special invitation, sounded a note of guarded optimism for Europe in his address last night at the dinner given in their honor by the faculty at Hen dricks hall. Among the, points of greatest inter est made by Dr. Zimmern are the fol lowing: The Washington conference on arms and Pacific problems has been a great success (provided the treat ies are ratified). The League of Nations is function ing in Europe and doing a great deal to stabilize Europe, in spite of American non-membership. Europe has gone back to work. The greatest sufferers from the present situation are the industries of Great Britain and the United States. The fall of Lloyd George ministry will mean the beginning of better relations with both Prance and Ger many. It is Britain’s fault, and not Prance’s, that the two governments have drifted apart in their policy toward Germany. Britain through Uoyd George loaded upon the rep arations a sum in pensions and kin dred expense a sum three times in excess of the amount which Germany could legally be expected to pay. Under the Pioncare government, France is working to a better under standing with Britain and America. The best policy toward Germany is, first, reasonableness of terms, then firmness in insisting on their fulfill ment. Dr. Zimmern held the audience of more than a hundred faculty men and their wives and faculty women for over an hour giving an insight into Europe in reconstruction, into the Armament Conference, the League of Nations, and other interesting subjects. “The Washington conference was a wonderful success in all that it was competent to do,” said Dr. Zimmern. In speaking of the far East and Pacific questions let me first attempt to im press you with what it meant to the British to give up her naval supremacy. The fact that we accepted the plan is a wonderful tribute to the confidence that exists between the two English speaking peoples. The days of naval supremacy is to be replaced by a su premacy shared by your nation and ours. This means a tremendous respon sibility. As far aB I can see by looking into the future, Britain and America are going to work together. Not only this, but they are going hand in hand to win the confidence of the rest of the world.” Conference Methods Praised “The Washington Conference has been a success not only in what it has achieved but also in the method of its achievement. They have not pursued the tacticB of the Peace Conference by trying to settle the affairs of the whole world at once but have worked on the basis of taking one region of the world and working out its problems separately. “If you should ask me whether the; people of Europe are working, my ans-, wer should be that there has been a | wonderful improvement in the years since the war. This has been more true of agricultural nations than of the industrial which have been handi capped in selling outside. “Europe has passed through a tre mendous ordeal, one not only of ex pense and casualties in war, but also in the dislocation of their industrial and agricultural system. The reason that their finances have been in such confusion in the central countries is that they had to begin their reconstruc tion by buying raw material from na tions overseas which had better money * than they had. Genoa Conference too Late “The greatest mistake made by our statesmen is that they failed to adopt the co-operative plan of reconstruction. The Genoa conference comes just three ▼ears too late. Had it been called (Continued on page three) VESPER SERVICES ARE TO BE HELD MARCH 19 Cantata Olive to Calvary to be Given; Lenton Organ Recitals Postponed Until March 26. — There will be a special Vesper ser vice given at the Methodist church on Sunday, March 19, by the University Vesper choir under the direction of John Stark Evans. The service will be entirely musical and the following solo ists will appear: Madame Rose McGrew, George Hopkins, Glen Morrow, Eloise McPherson. The feature of the ser vice will be the Lenten cantata “Olivet to Calvary” by Maunder. Mr. Evans ■ will be heard at the organ. Contrary to previous plans the Len ten organ -ecitals by Mr. Evans will I continue until Easter, being given on i Mareh 26, April 2 and April 16. The culmination of the Lenten mnsi i cal treats will be the cantata “The i Seven Last Word? of Christ” which ; will be given on April 9. This is said I tf- be of even greater musical interest j than was the St. Cecelia Mass given at j Christmas time. The University choir, i directed by Mr. Evans and assiste 1 by ! Madame Rose McGrew, soprano, John B Siefert, tenor, and J. Erwyn Mutch baritone, will render the impressive ser vice GYM EXHIBITION PLANNED MORE THAN 560 WOMEN WILL TAKE FAST IN STUNTS Work in Interhouse and Interclass Contests Commended by Head of Physical Education The work of the women’s physical education department for the term will culminate in a monster gymnasiur ’im onstration Friday night at 8_ jock when more than 550 freshnr - "d sophomore girls and uppercla- gq^ ;rs in the department will taki , n gymnastics, drills, folk dan nili- } tary tactics and apparatus j^t)ers The big new gymnasiu> a its will make the demonstrati^^^re in splendid equipment for spp^, 3 work teresting than ever before .*nd the physical education department invites all students, members of the faculty, and Eugene townspeople to come and see what has been done during the past three months. The demonstration will start with a grand march in which all of the gymnasium classes will take part, in cluding the majors in the department and the corrective students. This will be followed by a gymnastic drill in which about 175 girls will take part. The freshman majors will give three folk dances and all of the freshman classes will take part in games and feats with the basketball and appara tus. The next event will be military tactics and gymnastic drills by the upperclass majors. The evening will end with the annual interclass track meet in which 12 girls from each claBS will compete for the Hayward indoor track cup for women. The department has made a special effort this term to base gymnasium work on activities which were natur ally more interesting to the girls. The contest instituted by Miss Florence Alden, head of the department, at the beginning of the term has stimulated much competetive interest not only among the individual girls but also between the different classes. The stunts on which the girls are scored include many which prove beneficial j in the class and house activities, such j as baseball pitching, basketball throw j ing, high jumps and rope climbing. The basketball and swimming sea sons were unusually successful not only from the standpoint of the results of the games, but also the number who i took part, according to Miss Waterman and Miss Winslow, who have been coaching these sports. So many girls turned out for swimming that it was added to the list of doughnut sports. I Kappa Alpha Theta won the first ser ies. In the class meet it was neces sary to have three duel meets instead of one as before. About twice as many girls played in the interhouse and class basketball ser ies as last year, and Miss Alden ex pressed herself as being especially pleased with the games. “The girls play unusually good basketball,” she said, “their indnranee indicates splen did preliminary training.” She also commended the girls on the splendid spirit shown. MARSHALL TO LECTURE That the Bible is the product of man’s religious experience, and that it is the expression of man’s growing idea of God will be the theme of the third of the round-table discussions, at the “Y” hut led by the Rev. W. H. L. Marshall of the Eugene Congregational church, this afternoon from 5 to 5:40/ This is the last of the three discus sions led by Mr. Marshall at the hut. WEATHER FORECAST Thursday, rain, southwesterly winds. > FEDERAL FINANCES TOPIC OF A L MILLS IN ASSEMBLY TALK Reserve System Methods to be Outlined in Speech by Portland Man AFTERNOON LECTURE AT 3 Technical Aspects of Subject Will be Discussed With Advanced Classes A. L. Mills, president of the First National Bank of Portland, and one of the foremost figures in financial cir cles of the northwest, has been secured to deliver the assedbly address today. This is the last assembly of the term. As an officer in the Federal Reserve System, Mr. Mills is well able to speak with assurance on his topic, “The United States Government in Bank ing.” It is probable that he will out line the development of federal inter ests in banking and give a brief history of federal experiments in banking in the past, with particular bearing on the development of the Federal Reserve System and the part it has played in tiding the country through its most acute financial crises. Held Good Sper,,:er Mr. Mills comes here with a reputa tion as a fluent and capable publie speaker, able to handle a topic such as he has chosen in a clear and inter esting style. Members of the faculty whohave heard him say that he is very forceful and that they have a I high regard for his ability. He has been much in demand throughout the state, and his speeches have met with success wherever delivered. Two months ago he addressed the students at O. A. C. on some similar topic, and reports indicate that he made a very strong impression. He also delivered an ad dress at the inauguration of the presi dent of Reed College a year ago. This is the first time for a long period that a man prominent in finan cial circles has addressed the assembly. It was only by a fortunate opportu nity that Mr. Mills was able to come to the campus, as business interests require his almost continuous presence at Portland. After his graduation from Harvard in the early eighties, Mr. Mills came direct to Oregon, starting his financial career in a small bank in Eastern Ore gon. He then worked in a Walla Walla bank, and after a few years there came to Portland and became connected with the First National Bank, the presi dency of which he has held for a num ber of years. He has had a large part in building up this institution, and is regarded as a very able banker. Prominent in Public Life Despite his many business interests, Mr. Mills has had time to devote to public affairs. He is a member of the Board of Overseers of Harvard Univer sity, and is prominent in many public movements. At 3 o ’clock this afternoon he will meet some of the advanced classes in finance as well as any students who may be interested, in room 105 of the commerce building. His talk then will be on some of the more technical as pects of the Federal Reserve System of banking. Miss Florence Garrett will render a vocal selection. NEWMAN CLUB LIBRARY CONTAINS 500 VOLUMES; Father O’Hara Gives Greater Part of Collection; Port1 and Man and K. of C. Other Donors There are now about 500 volumes, of general Catholic literature, in the Newman club library. The greater part of this library has been donated by Father E. V. O’Hara, pastor of St. Mary’s Catholic church of Eugene. The second largest donation was $100 given by a non-Catholic man of Port land, Oregon, while the Eugene Knights of Columbus come third with a dona tion of $75. Other donations in the way of books have also been received from various sources. Among the books now contained in the library are the complete works of Cardinal Newman, lives of the saints, Catholic Encyclopedia, various works defending Christianity, the writings of the fathers of the church, works deal- j ing with Christian architecture and books treating on the Church and Sci ence. In addition to the bound vol umes there are also kept many of the current Catholic magazines. Father O'Hara is, at the present time, j planning an addition of works of the Catholic fiction writers and poets to j the library. 1 PARTNERS LID UP BY LOT FOR ENTRIES IN THIS YEAR’S FETE Seventeen Canoes Will Enter Event; Organizations to Plan Together LEASE MAY BE OBTAINED Street Will be Used; Funds Indicate Probability of Permanent Bleachers The results of the canoe fete are as follows: Alpha Delta Pi .Bachelordon Hendricks Hall .Chi Psi Delta Delta Delta .Sigma Nu Kappa Alpha Theta ... .Kappa Delta Phi Thacher Cottage .Friendly Hall Gamma Phi Beta ....Delta Theta Phi Susan Campbell .Kappa Sigma Pi Beta Phi .Phi Sigma Pi Delta Gamma .Phi Gamma Delta Alpha Sigma .

As a result of the above lottery, which was held last night at the meet ing of the general Junior Week-end committee, all the men’s and women’s organizations are now paired off for the annual mill race event. This shows that 17 floats will be entered. Plans for the Fete are shaping out well, according to Harold Simpson, chairman of the event. Permission has been obtained from the city to use the street along the mill race. The com mittee is still working on the lease, which it hopes to secure in a few days. This is necessary this year if the plan to erect permanent bleachers is carried out. According to present indications, sufficient funds are to be placed in the hands of the committee to erect perma nent bleachers which will accomodate a considerable crowd. All committees for Junior Week-end are lining up their work, with a meet ing of the general committees every Wednesday night. With the opening of the Spring term concentrated work will start in earnest. The publicity committee is the most active at the present time, getting out advance literature on the annual cam pus event. CAMPUS HEALTH BETTER Cases Treated by Health Service on Decrease Since January The number of cases being treated by tho University health service has been steadily decreasing since the epidemic of grip in January. At the office it was said that this reduction shows that the students have done a lot of work in helping overcome the epidemic of :olds. This month there have been very few :-ases of colds treated; some days there have been none. There have been eight operations. The daily average at the infirmary has been between four and five. During February there were 67 pa tients at the infirmary; 44 being cases of grip; three operations and 18 mis cellaneous cases. DIRECTOR WRITES ARTICLE Piece by Earl Kilpatrick Published In Book of Readings An article on Pleasant Hill, Oregon, by Earl Kilpatrick, director of the ex tension division, has been published in a book of readings on “The Rural Community” by Professor N. L. Simms, professor of sociology at the Massa chusetts Agricultural College. This article formed a chapter in the rural survey of Lane county, published in 1916. Professor Simms has pub lished this book of readings for college use, and uses the material on Pleasant Hill to show the type of community which is held together by the school, the Union High School being the bind ing factor among the small towas of this community. HEW SERIES ARRANGED Secretary Putnam of the campus “Y” is arranging a series of lectures for next term to take the place of Dr. A. R. Sweetser’s lectures, from 15 to 5:45 on Wednesday. Dr. Sweetser’s series of lectures will end this week. VISITING EDITORS TO SEE EXHIBITION OF STYLES Correct Dress to be Shown High School Women; Portland Firm to Loan Sport Clothes During the week end of April 14 and 15 which will be given over by the University to the entertainment of visiting high school editors the Wo men 's League will stage a style show for the benefit of the women editors. This is an entirely new idea on the Oregon campus, although it has been successfully carried out at other insti tutions of collegiate rank. The motive behind tho idea is to give the prospect ive girl students an idea of the proper clothing for a college woman, not only on the campus but at social functions. Frocks and sport clothes will bo ob tained from supply houses of Portland and some will bo furnished by the do mestic art students of the campus. Those in charge of arrangements for the style show which will be held on April 14 are Catherine Nicholson, Wil hemina Beckstead, Savilla Week, Phebe Gage, and Foarl Lewis. A committee meeting will be held tomorrow at 5 o’clock in the Women’s building, at which further plans will be discussed. GUILD PLAY SUGGESSFUL FERGUS REDDIE AS 8HYLOOK EXCEEDINGLY FINE Entire Company Enters Into Spirit of Sixteenth Century Drama Staged Last Night “Tho Merchant of Venice,” which was produced last night in Guild theatre, was one of the most successful Shakespearian plays ever produced on the campus. The work of Professor Fergus Reddio who played Shylock, and who directed the play, and that of Charlotte Banficl was exceedingly fine, and the whole company entered into the spirit of the sixteenth century drama with keen interest. The set tings were simple, which greatly facilit ated the changing of the scenes and shortened the time between the acts. Th play was composod of five acts, two of which wore divided into two scenes. Tho fourth act, which shows the court of the Duke of Venice, where the trial of Antonio, the merchant, takes place, was exceptionally good, and the scene between Launcelot Gobbo, the fool, played by Claire Keeney, and Old Gobbo, his father, played by John Ellstad, won much praise from every one who saw the production. Hildegarde Repinen, who has boon seen several times on the Guild hall stage, played Jessica, Shylock’s dough tor, well. This role was in extreme con trast to the other moro serious roles she has played this year. Nerissa, the friend and companion of Portia, was played by Sadye Eecles. Two solos wore sung, one by Delbert Faust, who played the part of Gratiano, who snng under the window of Jessica, and the other by Viola Powell, who sang during the casket scene when Bassanio was trying to choose tho cas ket which held the picture of Portia. Bassanio was played by Norvell Thompson, who had not been seen in a Guild hall theatre production since he played the lead in “Why Marryt” last fall. This role is one of the most important in the whole play, and it was handled very well by him. The play will be staged both tonight and tomorrow night. Y. W. TO GIVE SILVER TEA Proceeds to be Used to Buy Furniture for Association Rooms Plans have been made for a silver tea to be given at the Bungalow early in the Spring term, the proceeds of which will be used for additional fur nishings for the association rooms, ac cording to Miss Dorothy Collier, sece tary. Mrs. George Bohler was recently ap pointed chairman of the committee in charge of arrangements, assisted by Mrs. Dean Walker. New rugs were laid during the past week which were purchased from the proceeds of the Rummage Sale held in February, and it is hoped there will be drapes hung and a davenport installed very soon. MUSICIANS TO PLAY SATURDAY Helen Harper, violinist and Hildred Hall, pianist will go to Cottage Grove Saturday to play for a formal tea to be given by a group of the ladieB of Cot tage Grove Saturday afternoon at the Hotel Bartle. The musicians will be entertained Saturday night by some of those who are giving the tea. PLEDGING ANNOUNCED Delta Zeta announces the pledging of Myrtle Bice of Bend, Oregon. WINNERS 0F RELAYS Results to Show Men Who Will Defend Oregon in All-State Meet Here April 14-15 HIGH GRADES ARE WANTED Aspirants for House Teams are Turning Out Every Night; 78 Already Signed Up The results of the intor-class relays to be staged on Hayward field Satur day will determine the tracksters who will defend Oregon in the All-state relays to be held here on April 14 and 15, and in the Seattle Relay Carnival. It will be necessary for those men chosen to stay here over the spring va cation to get in shape to meet these other tenms, according to Coach Bill Hayward. * Saturday's moet will also be a de termining factor in picking the relay team to represent Oregon at Penn State on April 27, 28 and 29. Hayward’s plans for a team are not panning out. Some of the men who ho was depending on have apparently quit coming out with no excuse. Spearow is the only man now that Bill can depend to up hold lemon-yellow aspirations in the famous meet. “I haven’t got time to fool with a man who knows that I am depending on him and doesn’t show up,” Bill said. Hayward Is Pleased The coaches are arranging the regular nightly practice so that all men in the snme event are on the field at the same time, adding materially to training ef ficiency. Hayward is much pleased with the way in which his proteges are picking up in their class work, and it is unlikely that any of them will be ineligible because of class work. “We want them to koep their grades at four and above,” Bill said, and most of them are fulfilling his expectation. Whenever a trnckster's grade card shows him low in any subject, he has Bill to reckon with. Judging from early reports the Inter Organization track meet to be held next term is going to bo a big success. Already five houses have turned in lists of men who expect to turn out, the total being T8 to date. Many of the aspirants are turning out but Bill says that he is not going to check up on them until the first of the now term, because most of them need all thoir spare time to put in on their studies. However Bill said that he would keep a close tab on them after that, and the men will have to turn out regularly in or der to compete. Frosh Meet Planned Whilo it is probable that the fresh men will not have a track moet away from home this year they stand in lino for several good meets here. Chemawa and the Kugene High are on the list. Pacific is anxious to got a meet with the yarlings, and so is Cottage Grove. Beside these they will take part against the O. A. C. rooks in both the All State Relay and the Oregon-O. A. C. meet. Tf they do not win many honors this year they will at least get a lot of valuable practice that will stand them in good stead next year. There are enough of them getting experience this year to at least put Oregon in a bettor place than she now stands. “BIB” HOYT MUST SWIM OR FAIL TO GRADUATE University Regulations Require 60 Yards; Ten With Difficulty is Longest Distance Made Just another victim of University regulations is the plight of Wilbur '‘Bib” Hoyt, a senior who is, or rather, was, to graduate in June. Bib’s records show that lie will no doubt have plenty of languages, sci ence, economics, history and so on “ad infinitum” but he does lack the ability to swim 60 yards and University re quirements say that ho has to make up this deficiency. Bib found this out last fall and for almost six months he has conscienciously tried to learn to swim, but with little success, for the best record that he has chalked up so far is a 10 yard endurance, accompanied by strenuous splashing and spitting. The first trouble that he had in his attempts to learn the manly art of swimming was his inability to keep his feet from sinking. Three months of hard work remedied this but the result was that he couldn’t keep his head up at the same time. Bo Bib’s last months of college life will consist of a grim struggle between watery discomfiture and graduation with the odds all in favor of the former.
