MRS, HI TORRE! HELPS POT AND QUILL MAGAZINE Girls Declare that No Attempt to Get “Highbrow” Wanted Plana for the magazine which will be published by Pot and Quid, the cam pus writers ’ society for women, are be ing made. At a recent meeting, Mrs. Harry Tlftil Torrey of Portland was present and helped the girls work out their plans. Mrs. Torrey has always been an interested member of Pot and Quill and ns a professional writer has been of great help and encouragement to the student members. No editorial staff has been chosen, because the organization is small enough for manuscripts to be criticized in a round-table discussion by all the members. The magazine will contain several rather brief short stories, and some essays and verse. The name “Pot and Quill” will not be used for the magazine because the members feel that, although this issue is entirely in their own hands, the name would not suit if later on the magazine should be come the organ of the campus in gen eral. Members hope that the publica tion will prove of interest to campus readers, for there is going to be no at tempt to make it “highbrow” or even near “highbrow.” The material in cluded will be only the sort found in the usual college magazine. This will bo the first publication issued by Pot and Quill. The members are all interested in writing, however, and a number of them have had work printed in various periodicals. All Pot and Quill members are encouraged to make a study of markets and to make a, real business of the attempt to soil manuscripts. Most of the students belonging to Pot and Quill have taken or are now taking University courses in short story writing, play-writing and other forms of expression. Thorough criti cism by members is one of the chief things done by the organization. Officers for the coming year were elected ns follows: President, Marion Crnry; vice-president, Emily Veazie; secretary, Margnrot. Carter; and treas urer, Margaret Skavlan. GOLF INTEREST GAINING AMONG STUDENT PLAYERS Establishment of Holes Near Campus Is Proposed; Department of Physical Education May Furnish Clubs Student golfers who are now watch ing sadly the decline of their golf stroke due to tint lack of dubs with which to keep in practice, will be inter ested to hear of the offer made by Dr. John Rovard, dean of the school of physical education, to furnish students CLASSIFIED ADS Minimum charge, 1 time, 26c ; 2 times, 46c: 6 times, $1.

If a large enough number of students are interested in the sport to make it worth while for the department of physical education to supply itself with the clubs, Dean Bovard would like to hear from them, and immediate steps will be taken to get the required supplies. “Golf is a great game,” said Dean Bovard, “and I expect to see it includ ed in intercollegiate athletics in the near future.” In many collegs, espe cially in the East, golf has come to be one of the leading minor sports, and great interest is being shown in the game, according to reports from col leges and universities all over the country. Ilpre on the Oregon campus, enthusiasm for golf is rising in bounds, especially since the arrival of the warm spring days, and the course at the Country club is dotted by student play ers on all days during the week. Several holes will probably be estab lished somewhere on or near the cam pus, according to Dean Bovard, if enough students register enthusiasm over the idea. This will make possible the frequent practice which is now so hard to secure, due to the long distance of the course from the campus. Back lots and open fields near the University are now in constant use by the enthusi asts, but a smooth green of two or three holes will be a great advantage. Dean Bovard asks everyone interest ed in the sport to come and see him, and promises that any steps taken will receive his enthusiastic support. He hopes some day to see golf one of Ore gon 's minor league sports.

The course, which has been given in the spring term for tho past four years, is intended to increase the vocabularies of students by adding words of prac tical, conversational value in particular, and of literary value to some extent. Technical and foreign words are avoid ed, and those words which are found in modern fiction and essays are empha sized. “The students are expected to compile a dictionary of from 100 to 500 words in the course of the term,” said Miss Burgess.
