Newspaper Page TextOregon Dail k Emerald VOLUME XXTTT UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5,1922 NUMBER 103 SIX-DAY-WEEK PLAN TO BE CONSIDERED BY FACULTY TODAY Resolution by Student Council Opposing Proposal Will Be Presented APPROVAL HELD DOUBTFUL Compromise May Allow Each Department or School to Decide Policy After having been carried over from the March faculty meeting, the ques tion of the six-day week will be the special order of business at the meeting of the faculty this afternoon. Dr. A. E. Caswell of the department of physics is the originator of the proposed change. It is the opinion of many who are well posted on faculty sentiment in regard to the proposal that the motion as it is being presented will not pass. The plan was drawn up so as to make a compromise between the alternate day principle of class arrangement and the consecutive day principle. In it all classes are arranged in three groups and the student will have the choice of taking courses which are in either of these groups. By one combination he would be able, it seems, to avoid any class-work on Saturday. By accepting the other arrangement he could clear Monday of classes. Dr. Caswell point ed out that this would make possible work on Saturday for those who need it in order to stay in school. Many members of the faculty object to a change on the ground that their Satur days are already filled with research and other outside activity. Objections Are Many Others sympathize with the general student point of view, namely, that Sat urday classes would deprive the self supporting student of working time. Carlton Spencer, registrar, said that he doubted very much that the motion would go through since so many objec tions are presented both by faculty and students. Dr. H. D. Sheldon, dean of the school of education, who has been heretofore known as being op posed to the change, said yesterday that he thought, unless the proposal is modi fied in such a way as to be agreeable to all parties, he hardly believes it will meet with faculty approval. The proponents of the plan have pointed out that it is absolutely neces sary for the relief of present and future classroom congestion. There is fore seen no relief by any extensive building program and it 1b held that the situa tion is becoming graver all the time. In various of the departments where the laboratory space has become inade quate, relief has been brought about through scheduling of Saturday labora tory hours. Department Option urged On the other hand there are those of the faculty who believe that the mat ter of Saturday classes should be de termined by each school or department for itself. Where the need for them is greatest, it is thought that such relief should be given. As for putting through wholesale legislation for the entire University regardless of whether certain departments have need of extra elassroom space, this faction is opposed to the plan. Student sentiment seems to be gen erally against the adoption of a sched ule including Saturday as a work day. Organizations have met with the stu dent council for discussion of the plan and as a result of this the council has passed resolutions against it. Petition to Be Presented The following is the petition from the student council which will come up for reading at the faculty meeting this afternoon: “Inasmuch as the matter of Saturday classes is being handled by each de partment according to its own needs; and that the proposed plan guarantees no greater freedom in the selection of classes than the present one, as the option is with the instructor in schedul ing classes; and that many of the class rooms are unnecessarily vacant in the afternoon; and for the attached reasons contained in reports submitted for your consideration; the student council goes on record as being opposed to the pres ent plan until a greater need for a sys tem which will work so many hard ships upon the students is shown.” ENGAGEMENT IS ANNOUNCED Sadye Ecdes announced her engage ment at the Chi Omega house just be fore vacation to Dr. Fred Wilcox of 8alt Lake City. Dr. Wilcox is a mem ber of the Sigma Chi fraternity. PRESIDENT WILL DELIVER NEXT ASSEMBLY ADDRESS Mill age Bill and Growth of University to Be Topic; Misapprehensions Will Be Corrected President Campbell will deliver the assembly address next Thursday, speak ing on the millage bill and the growth of the University. Some uncertainty has existed in the state as to the application of the mill age bill, and some exaggerated state ments, especially regarding the operat ing cost of the University, have been made. President Campbell will have the latest information about the bill, in both its external relations and its relations to the University. This ad dress is intended to give students an accurate view of the University’s situ ation. Using an architect’s drawing of the possible development of the campus, the speaker will forecast the growth of the University, outlining the factors necessary to carry out this program, such as support from the state, alumni, gifts, etc., as well as the part students will take. A large chart showing the present and future campus is being prepared, and will be placed on the platform for reference. This is the first time such a forecast has been made, using physical growth as a basis. The musical part of the program will be taken by Florence Garrett, soprano, who will give a vocal solo. She is well known as a member of the glee club. ‘GERMANY TODAY’ IS TOPIC CABLETON FACULTY MAN HEBE AUTHOBITY ON SUBJECT Visitor Tells of Bemarkable Movement of Teutonic Students, Who Now Virtually Control Colleges SIX 9 O’CLOCK CLASSES TO MEET AT HUT TODAY Nine o ’clock classes of Dean Young and Professors Clark, Barnes, Barrett, Turnbull, and Schmidt are authorized to accept this announce ment as notice that these classes will meet at the Hut with Dr. A. W. Vernon this morning. “Germany Today” will be the topic of an address which will be given at 9 o ’clock this morning in the Y. M. C. A. hut by Dr. Ambrose White Vernon of Carleton College. Dr. Vernon studied in the Universities of Berlin, Hulle, and Goettingen in the nineties, married into German aristocratic circles, has been to Germany very many times in the last quarter century, and last summer came into close contact with members of the new government, notably with Noske’s successor, the Prussian Stattsekretaer Goehre, as well as with many repre sentatives of the old aristocracy, who are bitter opponents of the Ebert re gime. German Students Control Among the many items of interesting news Dr. Vernon brings from Germany is the story of a remarkable movement among the students of German uni versities who are thoroughly organized and in many ways are virtually taking charge of the conduct of the universi ties. They advise the rector what courses are to be given and what not, and this advice has to be followed; they have organized athletics to take the place of the old military activities which have been discontinued; and they have even established a national stu dent headquarters at Goettingen which oversees the conduct of all the univer sities. Dr. Vernon reports that the animus of the student movement ap pears to be conservative rather than radical. Dr. Vernon for Short In eaeh university now is found a Students ’ Parliament which exercises real power, and it is a question whether the students’ central body at Goettin gen is not more influential than the ministry of education, which the stu dents distrust. Dr. Vernon’s own sympathies, he de clares, are with the Ebert government rather than with his reactionary and conservative friends. He quotes an American observer, however, high in the Students’ World Federation, as de claring that the movement of the Ger man students very likely means the regeneration of Germany. BIBLE WILL BE TEXTBOOK Y. M., Y. W. Offer Two-Hour Course in New Testament Literature The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. are offering during the spring term a two hour course in New Testament litera ture, under the leadership of Eev. Gif fen. The class will meet at the “Y” Hut on Mondays and Fridays at 8 a. m., and on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7 a. m. The only textbook used will be the Bible. Those interested in this course should see Miss Collier, Mr. Putnam or Mr. Giffen. 27 WOMEN AND 01 MEN RECEIVE ALL GRADES ABOVE 2 General Average of Students Is Highest Since the War, Is Belief Expressed CARL MYERS GETS HONORS Clara Robinson, Lyndon Myers and Annabelle Denn Win Straight I Marks More men of the University received exclusively high grades and honors than women for the winter, as 51 men received no grade lower than a II, while there were but 27 women who made similar records. This is contrary to the experience of the past, as the women have usually been well ahead of the men. In the graduate school they still lead, however, for, of the nine graduate students receiving I’s in all subjects, f\\e are women. Among the undergraduates the fol lowing are worthy of special mention: I C. Carl Myers of Eugene, a senior, majoring in business administration, re ceived honors in all subjects; Hubert G. Schenck of Eugene, a senior major ing in geology, has two honors and three grades of II to his credit; Ches ter Zumwalt of Eugene, a senior major ing in business administration, received honors in accounting; Lyndon Myers of Albany, majoring in law, has a straight row of I’s; William Bose braugh of Salem, majoring in law, mer ! ited a series of I’s in everything but ; gymnasium, in which he was given a II for his athletic prowess; and Francis | Haworth received all I’s except in physical education also. Two Gins Are High Annabelle Denn of Roseburg, a junior majoring in music, and Clara Louise Robinson of Eugene, a junior majoring in business administration, who were the only girls meriting I’s in all of their subjects. Despite the generally conceded raised standard of work which has been re quired of the students this term, there was a sharp upward rise in the general average of grades received, it being said that there has been no term since the beginning of the war which has seen such high scholastic results. In the graduate school there were 37 students who received no mark below a II. The following are students in the undergraduate school who received no mark below a II, excepting gymnasium and military in some cases: List Is Given Women—Hallie R.

For the first time in years the tour was a success financially, and iu addition the men enjoyed themselves to the utmost, according to current reports. They were entertained at the homes of alum ni and friends of the University and stories of quantities of angel food cake and chicken that disappeared figure in every man’s account of the trip. Dances wore given at Medford, Ash land, Roseburg and Oakland, which pro vided good times for the men and as sisted somewhat in the finances. Leaving Eugene on Tuesd; T ■<’ vaca tion week, the club went to Cottage Grove where they were entertained at a banquet given by the students of the high school and alumni of the Univer sity. Harry “Skinny” Hargraves, prin cipal of the Cottage Grove high school and enthusiastic Oregon alumnus, was in charge of the entertainment. Ovation at Medford From Cottage Grove the men went to Medford where they were met by Arthur Rudd, the club manager, who had gone ahead to handle the publicity work. Evidently very good work had been done, because the men received a real ovation. A contest in ticket selling had been arranged between the high school classes and a great deal of in terest was shown in the concert. “Laurie” Gray and Vernon Vawter were the ex-Oregon students who did much to aid the success of the club in Medford. In Ashland John Finneran worked with the American Legion in arranging one of the best concerts of the trip. It was necessary to got the men out at 4:30 the following morning in order to catch the 5:30 train for Roseburg. This was met with the cheerfulness and good sportsmanship which was shown by every member of the club during the entire trip. Roseburg Enthusiastic Roseburg proved one of the most en thusiastic towns visited and the con cert was especially well attended. Much credit is due to the active students of the University for their work in ar ranging for the visit of the Glee club. Every member of the club as well as the director and manager were delight ed'at the success of the trip. Maurice Eben, president of the organization, and for three years a member, said: “It was the most pleasant and best con ducted trip we have had.” < According to John Stark Evans, di rector, the trip was successful from an artistic standpoint as well. “There was no let down in the quality of work, the men held up to their usual high standard throughout,” said Mr. Evans. Jack Benefiel, graduate manager of the University, said: “It was the best trip in years, not only because about $100 cleared, but from every other standpoint.” U OF 0. STUDENTS MARRY Eleanor Mae Brown Becomes Bride of George Wheeler in Eugene Eleanor Mae Brown, a student in the University, was quietly married to George Wheeler, a junior in the school of business administration, on Thursday evening at the First Methodist Episco pal church by Reverend B. E. Parker, according to the Eugene Register of Tuesday. Mr. Wheeler, whose home is in Mo desto, Cal., attended the College of the Pacific for two years. Miss Brown, who is the only daughter of Mrs. Jose phine Bevens Brown, is from Portland. The young couple plan to make their home, after June 1, in San Francisco, where Mr. Wheeler has accepted a po sition with a foreign trade concern. PLEDGES ARE ANNOUNCED The following pledges were an nounced yesterday: Beta Theta Pi, Paul Walters of Pendleton; Phi Sigma Pi, Don Woodward of Portland; Delta Gamma, Marian and Margaret Phy of Union; Zeta Bho Epsilon, Evelyn Ben nett of Portland. SEVEN STUDENTS FLUNK, 39 PUT ON PROBATION Casualties Reported Only One-Fourth of Fall Term Figures; Women Do Better Than Men Seven students flunked out of the University the winter term and 39 are on probation, according to statistics compiled in the office of Carlton E. Spencer, registrar. This is only one fourth as many casualties as resulted from the fall term in each case. Of the seven who failed, six are men, and of those on probation 31 are men and eight women. “Students are studying harder,” said Mr. Spencer in accounting for the de crease in probations and flunks. “They realize what they are up against, and are dropping some of their outside ac tivities.” “Men are more inclined to let out side activities play the larger part in their college life than women are,” said Mr. Spencer in commenting on tho poorer showing among men than women. “Women do not take their activities ns seriously, and ordinarily their activities take less time. Women are more cau tious, too, in the courses they take, and usually estimate just how much they can carry. Then, besides, a larger per cent of men are self-supporting.” Registration will be finished this week. After tonight one dollar will be charged for late registration, and an additional quarter for each day there after.

There will also be a strong demand for good jokes aed other literary ma terial this time, for, according to Doc this is to be the highest class issue jet published. The list of contributors has grown considerably during the past two terms, and the work of a large number of artists, cartoonists and writers has been printed. The remaining two numbers of the term will offer an opportunity for still more campus talent to get lined up with the magazine. ATHLETE CATCHES BANDIT "Moose” Mulrhead Uses Old Speed to Aid Law in San Francisco Walter (“Moose”) Muirhead, former varsity track star, turned bandit catch er a few days ago while on a visit in 8an Francisco. “Moose” used his sprinting and hurdling ability in chas ing an armed robber down into the Mis sion district and there assisting in his capture, according to a published dis patch. Just as “Moose” left his automobile to enter the Palace Hotel two men act ing rather suspiciously came out of the Alexander building nearby. Muirhead gave chase to one of them, following him in and out of several street cars and through a pool hall, finally over taking him in the Mission district, where he helped an officer make the capture. The fugitive carried a re volver. During his college days "Moose” was one of the most versatile athletes that ever attended Oregon. He was a point winner in the high and broad jumps, high and low hurdles, and was also pro ficient in the pole vault and javelin. At present he iB connected with the Beaver Portland Cement Company. He is manager of the cement plant at Gold Hill. VARSITY BASEBALL OPENS mil 14-10 Team Is Expected to Make Better Showing Than 1921 Combination NEW HURLERS LOOK GOOD Oregon Strong Behind Bat; “Spike’' Leslie May Be Used on First With but little over a week remain ing before the opening of the season, Oregon's baseball squad is settling down to the hardest kind of work, un der the direction of Coach Oeorgo M. Rohlor. The squad practiced steadily throughout the spring vacation and though hampered by bad weather, got in considerable batting and fielding practice. The varsity season will officially open on Cemetery Ridge against the nine from Pacific University April 14 and 15. On account of the all-state relay which is scheduled for Hayward Field for the same dates, the first game with Pacific will be played late Friday af ternoon, while the second game will be played early Saturday morning. Willamette Withdraws These dates were originally taken by Willamette but due to tho fact that the Bearcats will be unable to fulfill their schedule, Graduate Manager Bene fiel secured tho Pacific University nine in order that the varsity might have some practice games before they swing north to play the strong University of Washington aggregation the following week. The defection of Willamette also lost for Oregon the Idaho games ns the Gemstaters wore coming south on a slender expense margin and upon Willamette’s withdrawing from confer ence baseball gariios the Muscovites were forced to nbandon the trip and cancel games with Oregon and the Ag gies. Manager Benefiol is trying to fill the gap in the schedule with games with the Multnomah Club of Portland but so far has not been successful. Infield to Be Strong Although the pitching staff is as yet an unknown quantity, prospects seam bright for a better team than that which Oregon put in the field last year. The infield, the Lemon Yellow’s weak point last year, looms up very favorably at this time, while the outfield is at least as strong as that of last season. The catching staff looks good and even if Spike Leslie should be switched to first to strengthen the infield, the re ceiving should be capably handled by Ward .Tolinson and Johnny Watson, can didates for the backstop’s berth. Vacancies on Committee Filled Vacancies on the baseball activities committee were filled by appointment yesterday by Lyle Bartholomew, presi dent of the student body, who acts in conjunction with President Campbell in making the appointments. IT. R. Doug lass, of the school of education, and former University of Missouri diamond star, was appointed as the faculty rep resentative to succeed E. R. Bryson. Harry Hobbs, assistant cashier of the United States National Bank and a (Continued on page two.) DOUGHNUT BASEBALL IS FIRST WOMEN’S SPORT Keen Competition Between Houses Is Expected for Cup Held by Hendricks Hall Doughnut baseball is the first wom en ’s sport scheduled for the spring term. Practice will begin tonight at 5 o’clock, according to Charlotte Howells, head of the sport athletic association, and will be held every Monday, Wed nesday and Friday at S o’clock and on Tuesday and Thursday from 4 to 6. “Every house on the campus has sig nified its intention of getting out a team and competition for the cup, which is now held by Hendricks hall, will be keen,” says Miss Howells. She urges the houses to organize their teams as soon as possible because they will 1 have only two weeks for practice and each member of the teams must have four practices. Grace Snook, a senior major in the physical education depart ment, will have charge of the practice hours. The games will start April 19 and will run probably three weeks, playing two games every night. The teams will be divided into two leagues, as in bas ketball, and each team will play every ' other team in its league and the win ners will play for the ohampionship.
