Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1922 NUMBER 135 STATE HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE TITLE TO BE SETTLED SATUBDAT Teams from Pendleton and Grants Pass Meet for League Finals CUP WILL BE PRESENTED Program Arranged to Be Over in Time for Participants to Attend Prom The state championship of the high school debate league will be decided Saturday evening when the Pendleton high school team, winners in the east ern Oregon districts, will meet the Grants Pass team, western Oregon champions, in Guild hall at 7 o ’clock. The time for the debate has been set for 7 o’clock so that it will be over in time for the Junior Prom. The president of the debate league, A. C. Strange, who is superintendent of schools in Astoria, will preside at the contest. President Campbell will give a brief address and Professor E. E. DeCou will present the cup to the winners. The judges chosen by the executive committee are Professor Clarence D. Thorpe, of the public speaking department of the Univer sity; R. W. Prescott, who was formerly head of the University’s public speak ing department, and E. O. Immel, a Eugene lawyer. State Is Divided The Pendleton and Grants Pass teams have won their right to debate for the state championship by defeating all the teams in their district and then winning from the high point teams in other districts, the entire state being divided into 12 of these districts. Largely through the efforts of Pro fessor E. E. DeCou, the first of the high school debate leagues was started in 1907, with 28 high schools partici pating. The first award granted was the “Regents’ cup” given by the members of the board of regents of the University, to become the prop erty of the school winning it twice. In the fourth year after the organiza tion of the league the Grants Pass high school team won the championship for the second time and the “ Regents ’ Cup” became their permanent posses sion. The next trophy was the “Univer sity of Oregon Cup” given by the Laurean and Eutaxian literary societies of the University and by Professor DeCou. This cup became the perma nent property of the Salem high school last year when they won the state championship for the third time in the last ten years. DeCou Gives Cup The beautiful silver loving cup -which will go either to the Grants Pass team or to the Pendleton team is known as the “DeCou Cup,” being the gift of Professor DeCou, the founder of the league. It will also become the permanent property of the school win ning it three times. Professor DeCou in speaking of the league says that he regards the weary hours of time and labor that it took to put the league on a firm footing, as well worth while, quoting the names of prominent faculty members and ■ Varsity debaters who first came in . touch with the University through the ; state high school debate league.

WOMEN DECIDE TO CUT FORMAL DANCE COSTS Resolution to Reduce Decorations and Corsages Expenses Meets House Approval The women’s houses on the campus have expressed themselves in favor of cutting dowu the expenses of formals, and at the meeting of the heads of houses held Tuesday evening, a resolu tion was adopted which provides for the use of less expensive decorations and corsages, and for doing away with favors. This resolution was proposed at the last meeting of the heads of houses and Monday evening was discussed in all of the houses. It represents the sentiment of the majority of the women on the campus. “The main idea is expense,” said Ila Nichols, president of the organization. “Formals as they are now conducted draw heavily upon the pocketbooks of both men and women. It is our aim to do away with all unnecessary ex pense and we hope that all of the stu dents will cooperate with us.” U. OF W. TRACK MEN HERE SIXTEEN MEN FROM SEATTLE ARRIVE WITH COACH Chances Declared Even; Hurley Not Up to Larson’s Speed in Dash; Oregon Team Not Chosen Everything is in readiness for the big dual track meet between the Uni versity of Oregon and the University of Washington, to be staged on Hay ward field Saturday afternoon. Track Coach Edmundson arrived yesterday afternoon with the 16 men who will vie .for points against the Lemon-Yel low aggregation. “It ought to be an even meet,” said Edmundson, speaking of the probable outcome. However, he seems of the opinion that the foretelling at this time is merely a matter of conjecture, and says that it is anybody's victory at present. According to his state ment, Vic Hurley, veteran 100-yard dash man, has yet to come up to “Ole” Larson’8 time of 10 seconds flas in that event this season. Neverthe less Hurley’s best official time in the 100-yard dash is 9.4 seconds, and varied opinions on the outcome have been expressed. Entry List Not Settled Coach Bill Hayward has not yet de cided on the combination he will use against the Purple and Gold lineup. According to Bill, there are several possibilities, but due to the fact that the number of entrants is limited to 16, some of his desirable proteges may be left out in any combination. While Ihe Washington lineup is un doubtedly strong, as evidenced by their defeating the Aggie teams in the re lay carnival, they have lost several of their top notchers through graduation since they last met Oregon on the track. It was then that they defeated Oregon by an 88-43 score, but Oregon prospects have been greatly brightened since then through dint of hard train ing and the experience gained in the season ’s meets. Washington’s Entry List The University of Washington entry list follows: 100-yard dash, Hurley, Douglass and Anderson; mile run, Williams and Finke; 220-yard dash, Loudy, Hurley ind Free; 120 high hurdles, Frankland md Anderson; 440-yard dash, Doug ass, Pratt, Loudy and Hathaway; wo-mile run, Zenner and Finke; 220 ow hurdles, Hurley, Frankland and Anderson; 880-yard run, Beall and Fer ■ey; relay, one mile, Douglass, Pratt, l.oudy, Hathaway and Free; pole vault, 'allison, Mason; shot put, Bryan, diller; high jump, Frankland, Callison, dason; discus, Bryan, Miller; broad ump, Metlin, Frankland and Callison; avelin throw, Metlin and Mason. Schooi of Architecture One Of Fifteen Honored Colleges “The University of Oregon school of architecture is one of the 15 schools of architecture in the United States approved by the association of col legiate schools of architecture,” Ellis F. Lawrence, dean of the school of architecture and allied arts, declared yesterday. If a student has received a professional degree here, he said, he may go on to Massachusetts Institute of Technology and obtain a master’s degree in only one year. The admissoin of the University school of architecture to this associa tion, he explained, was obtained just at the completion of the five-year per iod of existence requisite for entrance, which is a record achievement, consid ering the strictness of the association. The promptness with which the Uni versity was admitted was due to the excellent work done at the Massachu setts Institute of Technology by the students who have gone there from Oregon since the founding of the school of architecture here in 1914. “ There are three departments cen tering around architecture,” said Dean Lawrence, in outlining the work of the school, “architectural design and structure, fine arts, and normal arts. “In architecture students become contractors, practising architects, and structural engineers. The work is a combination of art and engineering, and takes in a great deal of architec tural history, research and ornament, and work on practical projects.” There are also city planning and courses designed to give some idea of the business of architecture. Coupled with all these is a study of engineering and of testing specimens of lumber and other building materials by means of a testing machine in the boiler room near the architecture building. Most of those studying fine arts go into painting, sculpture, illustrating, (Continued on page three.)

Today and tomorrow all the Univer sity will wear its brightest smile and extend the glad hand in welcome to students of the preparatory institu tions of the state who come to be en tertained and impressed with college life and all that goes with it. Tor toise-shell glasses are to be laid aside temporarily and texts will be shelved for a time while holiday garb is donned for the week-end. Throughout the entire two days’ program, guests will be regaled with social functions, and all kinds of athletic contests. When general entertainment grows lax organizations will take up the task. Something is to be doing all the time. Guests commenced to arrive from all parts of the state last night. It is estimated that the total registration of visitors will amount to about 400. Many of them were in evidence at the student body dance last night at the Woman’s building. It is not expected that as many will come to the campus; as did last year, and this will prob-1 ably allow more time for entertain ment of those who do come. Work Party Begins Day The first thing on the program is the work party which opens at 8j o ’clock this morning and lasts until j boon. Equally important is the meet-! ing of arriving visitors and the regis tration of them at the registrar’s of-i fice in the administration building. It1 is advised that guests be registered di- j rectly after arrival. They must be taken in person to the registration headquarters in order to procure the; ;juest card which admits to all func-, tions for the week-end. Any guest, without such a card will be obliged to pay admission to all events. Serving will commence at the cam ous luncheon promptly at 12 o’clock.. Hie luncheon will be served in the nen’s outdoor gymnasium. Tables will; oe placed close to the walls so that plenty of room will be afforded for :hose in line. Four lines will be formed 'or procuring the food, two on each lide of the gymnasium. Lenore Cram in Charge Lenore Cram, in charge of the, uncheon, wants all food to be at thej gymnasium at 10 o’clock. Servers are; isked to be on hand at 9 o ’clock. The: uncheon will cost students no more han 15 cents. Guests will be served :ree of charge if they present their fuest cards. Immediately after the luncheon the 'rosh and the sophomores will pull their mnual tug of war by the railroad iridge over the mill race. Sophomore nen who are naked to be on hand to mil are: Kay McKeown, Troy Me Craw, •’renchie DuPaul, Ben Reed, Cog Camp-j >ell, Bun Trowbridge, Hal Chapman, Jutch Gram, Eddie Kirtley, Bay Har (Continued on page twe.) AMERICA CAN LEARN EROM AUSTRALIANS STATES COL. LEADER Active Taking Part in Games by Islanders Noted by Assembly Speaker EMPHASIS ON LAW GREAT Criminals Shown too Great Consideration in This Country, Contention When Colonel John Leader, the man whose name and deeds are unmistak ably linked up with the history of Oregon in the stirring days of ’17- ’18, was introduced as assembly speaker yesterday, the audience rose in a body as a tribute of esteem to this man whose personality so electrified the University when, as head of the mili tary department, he organized the mil itary forces on the campus. The colonel brought a message from the Antipodes. “America,” he said, “can learn from the Australians the great value of athletics and the im portance of strict law enforcement.” Briefly he sketched his recent tour from Victoria to New Zealand and Australia, where he was engaged in Ellison-White Chautauqua work, inter spersing his recital with humorous an ecdotes and puns which served to illus trate his points. Speaker Tells Impressions As to his talk itself, he claimed that the reason Americans revere the name of Christopher Columbus is because he came as a discoverer, while all other visitors from foreign shores have come as lecturers. The colonel clamied, however, that his was not to be a lec ture but rather an informal talk, and with his characteristic nervous inten sity, he outlined his experiences in and impressions of the British dominions lying in the Pacific. While loud m his praise of New Zealand, he was equally condemnatory of Australia, claiming, in his epigram matic style, that it was characterized by bolshevism, betting and booze. Graft, the colonel declared, is rife throughout Australia, particularly in Sydney, where he believes the soul of a Tammany boss would find blissful repose. The most biased anti-prohibitionist would quickly change his mind, accord ing to Colonel Leader, if he were to view the scenes of carousal which con tinually take place in Sydney. Australia in Bad State “Australia is in the handB of the trade unions,” said the colonel. “If a laborer does more than his alloted share of work, he is heavily fined. The whole country is 'in a bad state. There are probably more unemployed men there than anywhere else in the world.” Business and general trade conditions are unfavorable, he added, and every thing seems to indicate a Red revolt I against the officials. The adverse conditions under which Australia was settled are largely re sponsible for what the country is to day, he said, pointing out that the orig inal convict population which formed the bulk of the early settlers had ex erted a markedly detrimental influ ence. The Australian bushmen, who were the original inhabitants, are still in the Paleolithic, or stone age, stage of civilization, and are probably the least civilized of any race of people, j he asserted. Their weapons, he said, - are the boomerang and a heavy stone age instrument. They have no re ligion, and commonly practice canni balism. 1 Law Is Observed Despite the crudeness and intellec- , tual inferiority of the average Austra- ( lians, Oregon, the colonel said, might i well learn from these people the laying , of greater emphasis on games and . sports of all kinds, together with ob servance of the law. The active par--, ticipation in games by the Austrlians , lias made them the most perfect, phys- , ically, of any people, and a greater , smphasis of both the physical and intel lectual here at Oregon would, he be- ( ieves, soon revolutionize athletics on the campus. , Penalties sufficiently severe to fit s the case, and the carrying out of these , sentences, as is done in Australia, t rather than practicing undue leniency | would soon rid the entire country of j the wave of crime that sweeps any rountry wherein criminals are shown , too great consideration, he believes. . George Hopkins, member of the fac- : ilty of the school of music, played t two piano selections. 11 BULLETIN PUBLISHED ON WARNER COLLECTION Lillian AiUd Writes Article on Exhibit for Distribution by Art Society A special bulletin containing an ac count of the memorial collection of Oriental art recently given to the Uni versity by Mrs. Murray Warner of Eugene, has just been published by the western division of the Society for the International Revival of Industrial Arts, of which Avard Fairbanks, pro fessor of sculpture at the University, is chairman. The account, of the col lection has been written by Miss Lil lian Auld, a senior in the University, and the bulletin includes a number of photographs of pieces in the collection. A copy of this bulletin will be in closed in each invitation which is be ing sent out to art critics and friends of the University throughout the state to attend the formal presentation of the collection on the campus, May 29. The collection is being placed in the Woman’s building where it will be ex hibited as the beginning of a Univer sity museum. Professor Fairbanks plans to send copies of the bulletin to the branches of the society all over the world, in cluding all of the continental nations and England. O.A.G.TENNIS MEETTQDAY SMITH, WILLIAMS, CULBERTSON, HAYDEN, VARSITY MEN Three Letter Men on Aggie Team; Singles Today at 1:30; Doubles and Frosh-Rook Tomorrow The Varsity tennis squad will meet the Aggie team today at 1:30 on the Varsity court. Today’s matches will consist of the singles, each school en tering a four-man team. Tomorrow at 12:30 the frosh racquet wielders will meet the rooks and immediately after ward the Varsity teams will play off the doubles. Captain Kenny Smith, Stevo Wil liams, Cub Culbertson, and Goorge Hayden will represent the Varsity and will play the men in the order named. Smith and Williams will compose one team for the doubles, while the other will consist of Culbertson and Hayden. The O. A. C. team will carry Joy, Ma berly, Kincaid, and one other not yet known. The first three are letter men, Joy and Maborly having played in the Coast Conference tournament held on the campus last year. Smith and Williams have been going good this year, although Williams pulled a tendon in his arm while play ing in the south and this has been hampering his usually speedy service. His arm has been improving and prob ably will not hinder him much today. The first year men are out to avenge the defeat which they received at the hands of the rooks at O. A. C. Frank Wright and Harry Meyer will play for the frosh today, a third man to be picked this morning. The frosh play ers will very probably make a better showing against the rooks than they ilid at O. A. C. because they are used to playing on cement courts and the courts at the other school are clay. The matches today will offer the first and probably the only chance to see the Varsity in action against col legiate competition and all should prove to bo hard fought matches. ELECTION ANNOUNCED Geological and Mining Society of American Universities, University of Jregon section (Condon club) an-; munces the election of George Higgs, >f Klamath Falls, to membership. 0. A. C. Comes Here with Good Squad to Meet Bohler’s Bail Twirlers i WHITMAN DEFEATS OREGON Swatfest Staged by Visitors in Initial Innings Gives Safe Lead Given an even break with the weather man, the Oregon tossers will fight it out with tho Oregon Agricul tural college nine in a two-game series, the first of which will be played this aftornoon at 1:30 o’clock, with the concluding tussle scheduled for tomor row morning at 10 o’clock. Yesterday afternoon Oregon dropped a six-inning aquatic event, 17-11, to the Whitman Missionaries, tho game being called after six hectic innings of errors, hits and driving rain. Aside from tho downpour, which eventually necessitated tho cessation of hostilities, the gamo was marked by the heavy hitting of both aggregations and a quantity of errors caused by the slippery condition of tho ball and the field. The Oregon swatters annexed five circuit clouts during the wading match, but loose pitching in the first two frnmes, coupled with seven healthy errors, gave the Missionaries too long a lead for the Varsity to overcome in six cantos. Collins Starts Game Collins opened for Oregon and the lusty manner in which his slants were received by the visiting batsmen sent a swurm of Boriesko’s men across the plate. Gray, who relieved him, did not fare much better, and pitching from a cold start with a wet ball, had poor control and little smoke. In the sec ond, with tho opposition having enough runs over to win almost any ball game, Dug Wright took up tho burden, and considering the extreme dampness of everything concerned with tho after noon, pitched good ball until the sign ing of tho armistice at the end of the sixth. Whitman scored 15 runs in the first two innings and counted two more in tho sixth during an embryonic cloud burst. Tho Demon Yellow talliod in every inning but the third, putting three across in tho first, two in the second, three in the fourth, three in the fifth, wliilo Phil Ringle broke tho monotony of the misty sixth with a circuit clout to loft eonter. Boss Fattens Average Jimmy Boss, Varsity second sucker, had a good day with tho club, securing threo binglos in three times up, two of them being home runs. Don Zim merman and Hunk Datliam each got a four-pillow clout also, Zimmerman se curing his in tho first frame, while Ilunk poled out his round trip ticket in the fourth, sauntering in easily from third on lost ball. Dug Wright fattened his batting averago with a single and a throe bagger in three at bats, while Terry Johnson secured two clouts in four attempts. Incidentally, duo to the absence of the regular um pire, Wurd Johnson arbitrated. If the Ridge is 'in shape for the (Continued on page four.) Dean Dyment Believes Liberal Training Essential to Success “While a man cannot live by culture ilone, he should, nevertheless, in this lewer day, have culture and u well ounded education if ho expects to ompete in the big things and to be of ;reatest service to his country,” said Joliu V. Dyment, dean of the college if literature, science and the arts, in .n interview recently. “The man who aspires to anything nore than mediocrity in his profes ional career must build that career ipon the broadest possible foundation f liberal education.” In the old days, he went on to say, he college of literature, science and he arts was the whole University. Vith the growing demand among high chool seniors, however, for a univer ity education that would include more han simply learning for the sake of earning, there were added the pro essional schools. As a result of this professional move sent, the University not only has cre ted the nine professional schools, but Iso is professionalizing some of the departments of the college of litera ure, science and the arts, that old Istronghold of “culture for culture’s sake, so that they too may lead more directly to professions.” “if the chief end in view of the college of literature, science and the arts must be singled out,” he explained further, “it is this: To have inspired in its graduates a scholarly attitude in the quest for truth. “ i’ruth seldom lies on the surface where all may discern it, but often lies hidden and deep and must be mined tor, sometimes throughout long periods and even by intricate ami laborious processes. In such searches for truth the scholarly attitude is essential.” This “scholarly attitude” includes among its attributes a fine sense of social duty, studiousuess, discipline, self-abnegation, patience, the willing ness to examine all evidence and the capacity to appraise it, explained the dean. “If it can have inspired in a quota of students this scholarly attitude,” he said, “the college of literature, science and the arts will have performed the highest type of service to the state that supports it.”
