MU PHI FEATURES
MUSICAL PROGRAM
AT LAST ASSEMBLY
Modern and Romantic Pieces
Selected by Honorary
for This Morning
CONCERT IS ANNUAL EVENT
Composition by Miss Letcher
Will Be Sung by Soprano
in Woman’s Building
A program composed of modern and
romantie compositions will be given by
Mu Phi Epsilon, women’s national hon
orary music fraternity, at the assembly
in the Woman’s building this morning.
Concerts of this kind are given by Mu
Phi Epsilon once a year, and are looked
forward to with great pleasure. The
numbers are both vocal and instrumental.
Joanna James, soprano, is to open the
program with Kramer’s Last Hour and
Imogene Letcher’s “Love’s Light.” Miss
Letcher, a senior in the school of music,
wrote both the words and music of
“Love’s Light.” It is one of her most
recent compositions.
“Tarantelle” Brilliant
“Tarantelle,” Drdla, a violin duet, will
be played by Alberta Potter and Mar
garet Phelps. Tarantelle is a brilliant
light thing and is probably one of the
best known numbers on the program.
The heaviest part of the program is
Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsodic, No. 6,
which will be played by Helen Caples.
Bernice Altstock will sing “Where My
Caravan Has Bested,” accompanied by
Florence Garrett and Leona Gregory.
Story Is Told
Perhaps the most beautiful number on
the program is the “Waltz of the Flow
ers,” from Tschaikowsky’s Nutcracker
Suite. The story of the Nutcracker Suite
concerns a small Bussian girl who on
Christmas eve is given a nutcracker for
a present. She is quite charmed with it,
and is very sorrowful when her two bro
thers broke it. That night she dreams
that the Christmas tree comes to life and
all the toys and ornaments on it dance
wiih her. It is to personify part of her
dream that the Waltz of the Flowers was j
written. It will be played by Alberta
Potter, violin, Aurora Underwood, piano,
and Lora Teshner, cello.
Chorus Will Sing
The program is completed by two
songs which will be sung by the Mu Phi
Epsilon chorus; “Dreaming,” Shelling,
and “When a Maid Comes Knocking at
Your Heart,” Friml. Both of these songs
are of a rather light nature and will
show the ability of the chorus to a great
advantage. The chorus is being trained
hv Madame Bose McGrew, of the school
of music, and is composed of Mrs. C. A.
E. Whitton, Mrs. A. C. Dixon, Mrs. W.
M. Cash, Florence 6arrett, Marvel Skeels,
Bernice Altstock, Mildred Brown, Leona
Gregory, Hildred Hall, Margaret Phelps,
and Eloise McPherson.
Accompanists for the solos and chorus
of the concert are Aurora Underwood
and Imogene Letcher.

SCANDAL SHEET
LOOMS NEARER
UNEXPECTED PLEASUEES AWAIT
BABES AFTER CHRISTMAS
Consolation for Grades Found in
Poor Array of Numerals and
Flunks of Others
There was a grade sheet came out fair
to see;
Names of our classmates, alphabetic
ally.
Some little talk awhile of me and
thee—
And then there was no more of thee
and me!
It’s hard to believe for old-time per
users of the scathing scandal columns,
that there are students on the campus
who have never known the excruciat
ing experience of opening with tremb
ling fingers down O, P, Q, R, S,—Sm—
Smith, Mary, etc., to find an unimpos
ing and unflattering array of numer
als after abbreviated names of enigmat
ic courses dimly remembered, or tried
to explain to a kindly but insistant
daddy the relative value of I and F.
The poor unsuspecting are the fresh
men. Many there are who will see
their names for the first time in print
thus and will avoid all publicity there
after. A goodly number will feel, and
not altogether vicariously, the sudden
drop of ego to zero.
There is one thing, however, which
is compensation. The first moments
will be hard but after getting used to
the idea of having made pretty poor
grades there are about 1,999 names to
look at and the flunks restore one’s
equanimity in a world where a grade
sheet comes out at Christmas time.

MOTHER GROUP’ STATUE
IS NEAR COMPLETION
Art Work to Be Put in Niche
Between Residence Halls
Maternal love guided by knowledge
and experience, daring of youth sof
tened by the uncertainty of maiden
hood, an abundance of hope, trust and
faith found only in the heart of the
young, all are to be found in a plaster
model of a Mother Group which stands
in the art studio. The group is the
work of Avard Fairbanks, well known
campus sculptor, who intends to make
a reproduction of the mother, infant
and daughter in Tennessee marble or
pink granite, after which it will be
placed near the Woman ’sNiuilding.
Work on the model has been in pro
gress for more than a year but has
not been pressed, owing to the lack of
incentive necessary to hasten it to com
pletion, according to the designer. It
is intended to be used as a gift to the
University, but as yet no one has of
fered to present the completed work to
the institution.
“The mother is in the background,”
said Mr. Fairbanks in describing the
group. “She is the strength and moral
support of the girl. She stands firm
footed and is far-seeing. All her hopes
are entered in the hopes of her daugh
ter, in whom she lives 'igain.
“The daughter is impelled by some
fine instinct,” he continued, “not hav
ing known bitter experience. She rises
on tiptoe, eagerly seeking the higher
education before her. The thrills and
the ambition of youth draw her into
balanced position. A single influence
to right or left might stray her, or
change her course. But knowledge and
the ideals of motherhood are on guard
that, she may progress ’ toward a life
of beauty and happiness.”
It is very appropriate that this, beau
tiful work of art should be placed at
the entrance to the Woman’s building,

Galoshes Flap in Foolish Fad;
Rhymster Sees Revolt by Men
By T.lwlr
Fashions that pass for a foolish fad;
styles that cause reformers pain; galosh
es and all; each have had origin in wo
men ’s practical brain.
The sufferagette our dads assailed;
caused a riot and was promptly jailed;
then hunger-struck. Kindly note that
she got what she wanted, the right to
'ote. Hair was long and coiffeurs took
too darn much time; a startled look in a
barber’s window—the answer was there
a woman went home and bobbed her
tair; Skirts were dragging on the
ground—they cramped her style and of
ten wound about her feet. The skirts
were sheared and much open-work hos
'°ry appeared. School-girl complexions
were hard to keep, color from boxes
’’ s handy and cheap. Ears got cold,
'“appeared from sight as cootie garages
were built overnight. When woman gets
a. Practical hunch, a new fad happens—
right now—at once!
, Wl,,eh hrings us down to the present
' : Galoshes flap, there’s the deuce
pay! Reformers rave, nearsighted
1 1 r! They cannot see hat fads are
003 *n woman’s hands to put an end
to hoodooism, not to spend cold hard
cash for nothing gained. Poor dears!
Every time it rained rubbers were lost,
there were shoes to buy, something was
needed to keep them dry.
A Montgomery Ward or Sears Roebuck
catalog gave an.idea that stuck. . . .“Arc
tic Shoes,” some woman read, “A dollar
ninety-eight prepaid.”
“Oh,” she sighed, “how nice they’d
be, if they weren’t so hopelessly bour
geoise.”
Like a flash she had an inspiration
and galoshes spread across the nation.
Partly unbuckled, turned down af the
tops, they’re worn to church, to parties
and hops. There’s no longer need for
a slipner-bag. Galoshes will stay, like
the powder rag.
Woman's vote left man with a thirst
but she has repaid. With the first flap
of galosh he seized the idea; and now,
look around, observe anti see; he’s adop
ted the hunch. He too is saved from his
hoodoo. Long has he raved; called on
strange idols; in fact he has cursed,
whenever a refractory shoe-lacing burst.

FIRST YEAR MAN
WINS PENTATHLON
WITH HO SCORE
; Eugene Richmond Nears Mark
j Set by Rockhey in Tests
Held Last Year
SHOWING IS HELD GOOD
Instructors Pleased But Think
Men Are Lax in Training
For Gym Events
The physical ability pentathlon for
freshmen and sophomore men ended for
the present term yesterday noon when
35 men successfully completed the tests.
This number brings the total of men
who have passed the tests this term
to 123.
Eugene Richmond, a freshman in the
school of physical education made 119
points in the tests yesterday, which
gives him highest honors for the pre
sent year.
Pentathlon Is Voluntary
The pentathlon just finished is vol
untary on the part of the students tak
ing it. The system was devised last
year by Professor H. A. Scott, director
of the school of physical education, and
consists of the high jump, bar vault,
2 lap run, rope climb and a 100 yard
swim. One must pass every require
ment to pass the test, and the ability
with which one passes is denoted by
a scoring system. At least 25 points
in all events must be made.
One benefit derived from the success
ful completion of this test is the right
to choose any sport desired in gym
work. According to Professor Scott, it
is the aim of the department to make
all physically fit, and it is considered
that one who passes the requirements
of the P. E. test is fit. In other words
he continued, the ideal strived for by
the department officials is to have all
complete this test.
While the showing of the students
taking the pentathlon yesterday prov
ed very satisfactory to the instructors
in the department, they lament the fact
that more did not practice the different
events with the passing of the test in
view. “Five minutes a day, in each
event,” said Professor Scott, “would
have made it possible for a great many
more to have made the requirements.
Mvself, and the other instructors are
only too willing to coach anyone at
any time, and it is hoped that in the
future more will take the advantages
offered.”
High Scores Made '
Of the 35 taking the tests yesterday,
11 passed with a score of 60 or above
This score is considered very good, ac
cording to the instructors. The men
besides Eugene Richmond were Wade
Rutherford, 81 points; Jean F. DuPaul,
76; Robert Williamson, 75; M. L.
Youngs, 71; M. Byers, 69; W. Carroll
Ford, 66; Orville Tuning, 66; Francis
E. Jacobs, 65; Ted Purvine, 61; Milton
O. Peterson, 60 and Paul H. Carey, 60.
In the different events, the winner
with his time and score was as follows:
Rope climb: Eugene Richmond, 9 sec
onds for 29 points. High jump: Harry
Proctor, 5 ft. 1 in., for 33 points. Wade
Rutherford took first in both the run
and the swim with a time of 23 seconds
for 31 points for the run and 1 min.
25 sec. for 23 points for the swim.
BOOK PRINTED IN 1867
• GIVEN TO UNIVERSITY
Old English “'dition of Cowley’s Poems
Presented by J. C. Zinsen,
Washington Farmer
A folio volume of the poems of Ab
raham Cowley has been pesented the
University library by J. C. Zinser, pro
prietor of the Cascade Terrade Farm,
Washington.
The book, printed in old English, con
tains the poems of Abraham Cowley, an
English poet of the 17th century, and
a full page engraving of the author,
done by W. Faithorne Sculp.
A letter, which accompanied the book,
sent to President Campbell from Mr.
Zinser, said:
“I am sending you a folio volume of
Abraham Cowley, edition 1678. Of some
collateral interest are the youthful
scribblings on the fly leaves, made
June 14, 1702, in the reign of Queen
Anne.
“The book came into my hands with
loose covers. It was rebound by a
high school boy, grandson and name
sake of General Stephen A. Hurlburt,
who died in Lima, as our minister to
Peru.”

COUNCIL POSITION
MONT, GRIM IS
TO LEAVE COLLEGE
Successor Will Be Chosen By
Old Members Before Close
of Fall Term’s Work
VENDING TO BE SUPERVISED
Report of Conference Meeting
Is Received; Next Football
Schedule Authorized
The resignation of Dutch Gram from
his position as junior man on the execu
tive council was accepted at a regular
I meeting of the council last night. It will
take effect at the end of this term. Gram
was elected last spring to fill the two
year term, but will leave the University
to attend college in the east following
examinations.
According to the constitution any va
cancy occurring on the executive council
shall be filled by the remaining members.
A committee was appointed to submit
names and {he council will make the se
lection of a successor at a specified meet
ing to be held within a few days.
Sale to Be Postponed
It was decided that in the future any
organization or individual wishing to
vend or conduct a selling campaign on
the campus should secure permission
from the executive council. The council
pointed to a rule forbiddiny any selling
on days of football games but disavowed
any desire to restrict all such selling. The
request of the Sculpture club that its
members be allowed to sell envelope
stickers in the form of an Oregon seal
Thursday was considered and it was de
cided to ask the organization to postpone
its sale until after Christmas in order
that it might not conflict with the sale
of Red Cross stamps in any way.
The report of the ^athletic representa
tives. Professor H. C. Howe and Grad
uate Manager Benefiel on the meeting of
the conference in Seattle was received.
The schedule for the coming football
season as it has been printed was ac
cepted by the council.
Directory to Be Printed
The council decided to publish a stu
dent directory, in which would be printed
the name, address, phone number, major
subject and other information concerning
every student in the University. The
directories will be in the form of small
booklets and will be sold among the stu
dents and living organizations.
The following appointments to activ
ities committees were authorized by the
council: minor sports, Lyle Palmer, Leon
Culbertson; track, Elmer Payne, alumni
member. The awarding of the football
letters and blankets, which has been
announced, was given official sanction by
the council.
DEBATERS WILL TRY OUT

Women debate tryouts will be held
in room 4, Commerce building, Friday
afternoon at 4 o’clock. TTs question
“Besolved, that the Tinted States
should cancel all allied w-.r debts with
the exception of those >>f Great Bri
tain,” is the one argued in the do-nut
debates.
Seven minutes will be {.iven for con
structive argument and three minutes
tor rebuttal. All people who were in
do-nut debate and esp'-daily the Zeta
Kappa Psi pledges should try out, said
Edna Largent, forensic manager.
The team will be chosen later after
more work has been done. All people
trying out will work together in pre
paration for Varsity meets. Professor
Thorpe will select the teams later. In
this way, with several working on the
team more material will be at hand,
according to Miss Largent.
EXAMS BEGIN IN SIX DAYS
Fate of Many Students Determined by
the Finals
I The end is near! This is the senti
ment of many students who realize that
I the term examinations are but six days
off.
Work must be done in earnest dur
i ing the next few days in order to avoid
; the dire results which exams bring in
their wake. It is only too often that
i the finals decide the fate of someone
: who has been on the dividing line all
term.
The reference rooms of the library
are becoming crowded with the usual
pre-examination rush and typewriters
are clicking busily under the stress
imposed by short stories and term pa

POP CONCERT TONIGHT
IS FIRST OF SEASON
Loss of Players Is Declared
Director’s Trouble
Rex Underwood, director of the Uni
versity orchestra, which will give its
first “pop” concert this evening, con
siders some of the most difficult things
in conducting an orchestra to be the
losing of the old players and initiating
new ones^ into the ways of orchestras
and orchestra playing.
“Losing members of the orchestra,”
said Mr. Underwood, “means that it is
strong in some parts and weak in oth
ers, and this often necessitates an en
tire re-arranging of that part of the
orchestra.” Some of the people who
make the orchestra have had little ex
perience, other than that obtained on
high school orchestras, and it is neces
sary for the director of the orchestra
to whip them into shape so that they
will be able to play compositions which
are in the repertoire of every symphony
orchestra. This is helped out to a cer
tain extent by the fact that usually
about 75 per cent of the more exper
ienced people return and are able to
carry on the work, until the rest be
come accustomed to it.
une ot tne strong parts ot tne uni
versity orchestra, Mr Underwood said,
has always been th’e stringed instru
ments “That is a very reliable and
strong section,” said Mr Underwood,
“and it carries the brunt of things. But
of course that is true of any orchestra.
Our stringed instruments are one of the
reasons for the success we have had for
it is due to the excellent foundation
we have to build on. We have also
been very fortunate in our brass instru
ments.”
The orchestra gives three “pop” con
certs a year, in addition to the big
home concert and the trip, which will
be during the spring vacation. The pro
gram for each of these concerts is dif
ferent, entails more work, all of which
is done at the rehearsals which are
held only twice a week, each lasting an
hour and a half. In addition to this
the orchestra also plays at least three
times a year at assemblies.
For the “pop” concerts the orchestra
does not endeavor to give a completely
finished and polished peformanee, but
it does try to give a good substantial
program made up of the things which
every ono should know and which will
go towards giving students a knowledge
of the right kind of orchestral liter
ature.
“With the inexperienced and raw
material,” Mr. Underwood said, “we
have the backbone of the orchestra,
professional and semi-professional play
ers. Lora Teshner, cello, has done ly
ceum and Chautauqua work, Alberta
Potter has a fund of experience, and so
has Herbert Hacker. Beulah Clark,
flute, is on a lyceum circuit now and
will be back some time during the
spring quartet to play with the orches
tra.”
Another reason Mr. Underwood gave
for the success of the orchestra is the
way the members work. “They
are interested in it,” he declared.
“They don’t fool; are intelligent, and
they are remarkably quick to grasp
an idea when it is presented to them,
without having to be told several times.

ALL-STAB DONUT
TEAM SELECTED
BT VARSITY MEN
Kappa Sigs Get Entire Squad
on Two Mythical Quintets
Chosen Last Night
PLAYERS GOOD MATERIAL
Positions in Regular Line-Ups
Will Be Sought by Six Out
of Ten Men Named
By Leon Byrne
Last night just before the regular
Varsity turnout the seven basketball
lettermen who are out for this year’s
team chose a first and second all-star
do-nut squad. With the exception that
five Kappa Sigs, the entire team, plac
ed on either the first or second squad,
the honors were fairly well distributed
among the different houses.
The choice of the lettermen was:
First team Second team
Fraser .F. Gunther
Carson .F. Bryant
Glosser .C. Gowans
Bliss .G. Leake
Schafer .G. Kelly
Honorable mention was given to
Stendal, Sigma Nu forward; Hobson,
Phi Delt forward; Wright, Phi Delt
forward; Watson, Phi Delt guard; Mc
Millan, Fiji center; Staley, Fiji for
ward; Murray, Oregon Club forward
and Haynes, Beta center.
On the first team, Fraser, Gosser and
Bliss are members of the championship
Kappa Sig team. “Mongo” Fraser,
first among the forwards. Carson, the
other forward, although he did not get
into the semi-finals, played a rare brand
of basketball for the A. T. O. five when
they were in action.
Gosser Considered Good
Gosser, center of the Kappa Sig team
was pieked for his ability to play a 5
man game, in other words, hiB team
work. While he is not fast, his play
ing was one of the deciding factors in
winning the intramural championship
for his team.
The two guards, Bliss of the Kappa
Sigs and Schafer of the Fiji team, play
ed basketball in varsity manner. Both
men are small in stature but loom up
threateningly large when their basket
is menaced. Although a clean player,
Bliss is a fighter through and through.
Schafer, the diminutive Fiji, was rated
as one of the fastest men in the lea
gue this year. If he were able to get
his hands on the ball he was usually
able to talie it the whole length of the
floor, through the entire opposing team.
in the second team, Gunther played
for the Oregon Club and Bryant was
one of the mainstays of the Kappa Sig
team. Gowans was center for the Delta,
Leake played for the Kappa Sigs and
Kelly for the Fijis.
Have Chance for Varsity
To illustrate the quality of some of
the do-nut teams this year, six of the
above men are contending or will con
tend for places on the varsity, and ten
of those mentioned are out for the
Frosh squad. The men who have a
chance at the varsity are Fraser, Bliss
Schafer, Wright and Haynes. Of the
frosh, Carson, Gosser, Gunther, Bryant,
Leake, Kelly, Stendal, Hobson, Watson
and Muray are contending for places on
the frosh team.
Coach Bohler was asked to pick an
all-Btar do-nut team but he declined,
saying that the easiest way to choose
the best five men was to take the cham
pionship team as it was and call it the
All-stars. How nearly this statement
was true is shown by the fact that the
entire Kappa Sig team did place on the
honor lists.
CORRECTIVE WORK IS AIM
Physical Education Director Points
Out Function of Exercise
The function of the corrective classes
in the physical education department is
to correct remedial defects, rather than
to teach men assigned to restricted ex
ercises how to play games, states Prof.
I Harry A. Scott, director of the physi
: cal education department, who writes
| that a reporter recently misunderstood
a statement he made.
I “It is the function of the corrective
| classes to correct remedial defects. I
j consider this function as being very
important,” said Professor Scott.
; “However, due to lack of time, it is im
; possible for us to correct many present
; defects. What we try to do in cases
; of this kind is to make the student
| acquainted with a suitable corrective
program, and at the same time teach
him some receative activity. The cor
rective program should be followed ev
ery day of the year if results are to be
expected. Combined with the recrea
tive program, the load is considerably
lightened.”
