Conference President Allows
California Flunks to Be
Made Up in Oregon
By ED FRASER
Considerable discussion has been
caused by the conflicting statements
appearing lately regarding the eligibil
ity of one “Mush” Hjelte, the Oregon
Aggies football and basketball star.
It was first reported that the ques
tion of his eligibility came up at the
meeting of the Pacific Coast Intercolleg
iate Athletic association and that he
was declared ineligible, but in yester
day’s Portland Oregonian appeared the
statement of Professor Dubaek of O. A.
C. which stated Hjelte had made up the
work he had flunked at California and
is now eligible.
The conference rule is to the effect
that a man may not compete in colleg
iate games if his record shows that he
has more than one fifth as many hours
flunk as passing hours, and the state
ment of Graduate Manager Nichols of
the University of California, made at
the Portland conference, was to the
effect that Hjelte had failed at Califor
nia two successive terms and had made
net more than three passing hours in
either of these terms.
This would seem to indicate that the
tail boy has at least 24 hours of flunks
against him, and since he has been at O.
A. C. for only two years it seems in
credible that lie could have made the
necessary 120 passing hours in that
time, which womra be necessary to bal-1
ance the 24 flunk hours.
Since Professor Dubaek, who is pres
ident of the Pacific Coast conference!
this year, declared that Cog Campbell
must return to O. A. C. and make up
his conditions before he would be eligi-'
ble at Oregon, he must have changed his
mind greatly since that time as he now
states that Hjelte has made up the
flunks acquired at California by study
at O. A C. New if Campbell ^ required
to return to 0. A. C. to make up his
conditions before he is eligible at Ore
gon it would seem rather a queer situa
tion if Hjelte is allowed to make up
California flunks by attendance at the
Oregon Agricultural school.
At present it is doubtful just how
the question will be settled but it will
no doubt be brought before the mem
bers of the conference at the next meet
ing, which is scheduled for December.
GEOLOGY ENROLLMENT
TO BE LIMITED TO 100
Registration Doubles in Two Years;
Museum Crowded Out of
Condon Hall
Increase in registration in the geol
ogy department this year has been so
heavy that it has been necessary to lim
it the number of students in that de
partment to 100. On registration
day the advisers were compelled to
close registration in general geology
and economic geography classes at 3
o ’clock.
According to Dr. E. L. Packard, act
ing adviser of the school of geology,
registration in that department has in
creased fifty per cent in the last two
years; the students numbered 50 in
1920, 70 in 1921, and 100 this year.
Such large registration was not an
ticipated, and it is now necessary to use
Condon hall, which held the collection
of Dr. Thomas Condon, first professor I
of geology at the University, as a lec- j
ture room, though it in itself is inad-1
equate. The collection has been stored'
until suitable facilities for display are
available.
Courses this year in the geology de-’
partment are organized under Dr. Pack
ard, Professor E. T. Hodge, and Dr.
W. D. Smith, head of the department.
Dr. Smith has returned from two years;
in the Philippines, and will offer the j
course in economic geography, which \
has not been given during his absence. ‘
STUDENT DANCE IS OCT. 21
Woman’s Building to Be Scene of
Dances; Good Music Promised
The first student body dance of the'
year is to be held a week from next |
Saturday, October 21, in the Woman’s
building. Pat Irelan has been appoint
ed by John MacGregor, president of
the student body, to have full charge of
the dances this year. Irelan promises
that the best of the student orchestras
is to be secured to furnish music, and
that in all other respects the dauces
will be up to standard this year.
Another dance listed for the fall
quarter is the Homecoming dance on
November 11. There will be two sep
arate dances as there was last year,
one at the Woman’s building, an(|_the
other at the Armory. The last student
body dance will be on November 17.
Admission to the dances will be 75 cents
per couple.
‘SCHOOL DAYS’ AT THE REX
Youthful Star Prefers Dog and Swim
min’ Hole to Palatial Residence
Did you evfr play hookey from
school? Wesley Barry, freckled-faced
movie star, plays hookey more than
once in Gns Edwards’ screen play,
“School Days,” which comes to the
Rex theater today. And in playing
hookey, Wes is said to lay the founda
tion for a story tliat will appeal to ev
ery human being who has experienced
the thrills, the pranks and the many
disappointments of boyhood. v
For little Wesley, as the untamable
and irresponsible Speck Brown, loves
the old swimmin' hole and his dog
“Hippy” more than all the wealth in
the world. However a wealthy uncle
induces him to pursue an education
among the juvenile highbrows of the
east. After undergoing the adventure
that one would expect of Wes Barry
under such conditions he becomes dis
gusted with the artificial life of his
wealthy schoolmates. Selecting the wee
small hours of the morning for his ac
tions he steals away from his palatial
residence, boards a freight train and
finally arrives safely back at his old
haunts.
NEW HANDBALL COURTS
SOON TO BE AVAILABLE
Growing Interest In Sport
Demands Room
Four new handball courts, to be built
on the west side of the outdoor gym,
will very soon be available for the
leather-handed sons of Oregon who wish
to take up handball, it was stated yes
terday by the physical education de
partment.
The new courts will be four-walled
and each be 20 ft. wide, 37 ft. long,
and 15 ft. high. One of the courts
will also be used for the playing of
squash, a game which is very populai'
around athletic clubs.
Up to the present time, handball has
been hampered because there was only
one lone court, which could not accom
odate all those who wished to use it;
but it promises to be a very popular
sport in the future.
In order to facilitate the use of the
outdoor gym during the winter months,
it will be boarded up and heated. This
will mean added comfort for those!
classes which will meet there.

President Campbell to Speak;
Dancing to Be Feature
Plans for the freshman get-acquaint
ed party, to be held in the Woman’s
building Saturday night, are material
izing. The frosh committees have been
named and a program is being prepared
to insure a rousing good time.
The freshmen have reserved the main
floor of the women's gym. The first part
of the program will be on the get-ac
quainted order. There will be music
and pmueh to attract the lirst year stu
dents, and President P. L, Campbell,
Dean Pox, and Dean Straub will talk
to the class on subjects appropriate to
the occasion. The last half of the
program will consist of daeing. Those
who do not dance will find other diver
sion.
Meanwhile, the amusement comnPttec
has been active. Myron Goodell v ill
tag all comers and see that all frosh
are out. John Crocker will look after
the advertising and publicity of the
event, so that no one can complain that
he did not know about the party. Miss
Helen Cunton will have charge of the
music, Ronald Beattie will see that
there is a, plentiful supply of refresh
ments, which will be served through
out the evening, and MBs Marie Swear
ingen will be m charge of the program.
When the party is over, every fresh
man should know every other member
of his class. The aim is to mix thorough
ly. All are Expected to turn out. Dean
Straub threatens dire things if he
hears that any freshman girl lias to
go home unaccompanied, and it is gen
erally understood that the same, will
be true if any man cannot tiild a girl
to take home. Although the affair is
several nights away, there is high ex
pectation in the lirst year ranks, and
there is little danger of a small turn
out. | g
