Y. W. BUNGALOW SCENE
OF CHRISTMAS PARTY
Washington Club Makes Merry in Spite
of Coming Exams; Childrens
Games Played
The Y. W. C. A. bungalow was the
scene of gay festivities Thursday night,
when the Washington club gave its an
nual Christmas frolic. Coming so close
to examinations it was difficult for
some of the students to attend, but ne%r
ertheless, there was a large crowd of
Washingtonians present.
It was a regular children’s party and
many of the usual children’s games
were played, providing a great deal
of laughter for all those present. There
was a huge decorated Christmas tree in
one corner and a jovial Santa Claus
came bursting (literally) through the
window behind the Christmas tree and
■passed around the presents. A number
of humorous letters had been “written”
him by members of the club, requesting
absurdities of all kinds. Santa read
these aloud amidst wild bursts of glee.
Mistletoe, hanging from the chandel
iers, caused grief in some cases.
LeLaine West had charge of the af
fair assisted by Madeline Conner, Doc
Braddoek, Virginia West, and Wayne
Meek.
CH! OMEGAS ANNEX GAME

Excellent Offensive
The Chi Omega basketball team
swamped the Delta Gamma players last
night, when the former piled up a score
of 24 against their opponents 2. The
game was fast and although the win
ning team easily outclassed the losers,
the latter exhibited an excellent figRt.
Pauline Bondurant, playing center,
broke up many of the Chi Omega pass
es. Both forwards of the Chi Omega
team showed ability in shooting bas
kets.

DURING REGISTRATION
Registrar Suggests That Students Make
Out Their Study Cards Before
Christmas Vacation
Students should make out their study
: cards before leaving for home, accord
ing to Carlton Spencer, registrar, in
■ order to relieve the congestion that is
j likely to result from the attempt of all
students to complete the whole regis
I tration process during the first of next
| term.
“Only one day, January 8, is allowed
; for registration in the winter term, in
i stead of the two days as in the fall
term. Classes will start promptly on
j Tuesday morning, January 9. If in
structors are willing students ought
to make out their study cards before
' going home.”
students are given until Wednesday
to file their registration cards and pay
j their fees. After that a late registra
tion fee of one dollar for the first day
and twenty-five cents for each succeed
ing day must be paid.
An innovation in the registration
procedure will be made next term by
the collection of all fees at the opening
of the term instead of paying incident
al fees of $11.25 when registering and
laboratory fees several weeks later.
A request is made that all seniors,
who are in doubt about their credits for
graduation in the spring, call at win
dow’ 7, in the Administration building

FACULTY VACATIONS NOT
SPOILED BY BLUE BOOKS
Members Interviewed Plan to
Rest or Travel
Correcting blue books is not to spoil
Christmas entirely for faculty members,
many of whom are planning to get a
real vacation over the Christmas holi
days. When questioned as to his plans
for Christmas, Dean Straub said, “I
am just simply going to stay at home
and rest, and read and study.” Dean
Straub suffered an attack of la grippe,
a short while ago, and he feels that a
quiet rest will put him in readiness
for the spring term.
Dean Eric Allen may get to attend
a meeting of representatives of jour
nalism schools in Chicago during the
holidays. His plans have been rather
unsettled, pending the return of Pres
ident P. L. Campbell, when the pro
bability of Dean Allen taking the trip
will be definitely settled..
Dean Colin Y. Dyment and Dr. Stuart
Dyment will spend their vacation in
Eugene. Hp to date they have really
been too busy to make any plans, they
said, but if weather conditions are right
they hope to keep in trim by follow
ing the ball over the green.
Professor Edgar DeCou and Dean Fox
DeCou are contemplating a quiet but
pleasant Christmas at their home at the
Bartle Court apartments. James'H. Gil
bert and Mrs. Gilbert will spend their
vacation in Portland visiting Mrs. Gil
bert’s parents. “We always go ito
Portland every Christmas,” said Mr.
Gilbert when questioned as to his plans.
Timothy Cloran will spend Christmas
here, after which he will go to Portland
to deliver a paper before the State
Teachers’ association which meets in
Portland December 28 and 29.
Professor A. R. Sweetser will spend
Christmas with his son in Seattle. Mrs.
Sweetser, who has been visiting in the
'East, will meet him there.
Several other members of the fac
ulty will remain in Eugene, while others
will go home or visiting. All indica
tions are that faculty members as well
as students are stealing a moment from
the last few rushing days to look for
ward with eagerness to a rest from
duty.
LUNCHEON GIVEN FOR DEAN
Girls’ Head Unable to Attend Delight
ful Luncheon Given by Miss Tingle
Miss Tingle, head of the household
arts department was hostess at a beau
tifully appointed luncheon Tuesday,
given* in honor of Dean Elizabeth Fox.
Dean Fox was unable to attend because
of illness, a fact which is of interest,
because Miss Tingle had planned the
affair six weeks ago, but as she was
ill at that time it was postponed until
yesterday. The luncheon was held in
the household arts building. The deco
rations used were in keeping with
Christmas colors; red Japanese lacquer
pieces, red candles set in lacquer can
dlesticks, and evergreens being used ef
fectively about the table, with small
painted place-cards of Japanese scenes.
The guests were Miss Gertrude Tal
bot, Miss Alice Betts, Miss Mary Wat
son, Mrs. George Fitch, Miss Florence
Alden, Mrs. Henry Sheldon, Miss
Maude Kerns, Miss Mattie Pattison,
and Miss Mozelle Hair.
r. M. WILL OFFER
NEW COURSES IN
STUDY OF BIBLE
Council of Religion Recently
Formed Plans Outline of
Work for Classes
J. S. WILSON TO LECTURE
Local Pastors Are Scheduled
to Teach; Noted Speakers
to Be Called In
Two new courses in religion will be
offered to University students on regis
tration day and J. Stitt Wilson, na
tionally known student of social and
industrial problems, will be presented
to the student body at the first assem
bly of the new term, as the result of
the recent activity of the new Council
of Religion, just created as a campus in
stitution.
Course No. 1 will be called outlines
of the “Philosophy of Religion.” The
idea of the course is to aid the student
in organizing and systematizing his
own religious experence and knowledge,
experiences of mankind, and generally
Accepted and established truths of
science. Rev. W. H. L. Marshall, of
the Congregational church, will teach
the class.
Course No. 2 will be called “Master
pieces of Bible Literature” and will
be a study of the Bible from a liter
ary standpoint, under the guidance of
modern critical methods. Rev. Bruce
J. Giffen, student pastor, will direct
the study.
Sweetser Heads Council
The Council of Eeligoin is headed by
Professor Albert E. Sweetser; L. P.
Putnam is vice-president, and Miss Dor
othy Collier, secretary. Other faculty
members are Mozelle Hair, H. E. Doug
tlass, M. H. Douglass, Professor W. P.
Boynton, E. S. Conklin and W. E. Milne.
Student members are Helen Addison,
LeLaine West, Webster Euble and
Bruce McConnell.
The work of establishing courses is
being done this year with the future
view of a definite school of religion
on the campus, not as an actual part
of the University but with its work
so closely allied in standards and poli
cies that elective credit could be given.
Courses to Be Given at “Y”
Courses are to be conducted on the
same basis as regular classes and a cer
tain amount of preparation will be nec
essary. No fee will be charged.
Both courses will be given at the
Y. M. C. A. hut and will be open to
both men and women. Hours will be
arranged that will be satisfactory to
those taking the work and registration
may be completed in the Ad building
at the time of registration, according
to those in charge.
Another important activity sponsor
ed by the council is the bringing of
important speakers to the campus. J.
Stitt Wilson, former mayor of Berke
ley, California, and well known in so
cial, civic and political work in the
United States, will come to the cam
pus for the first assembly next term
and will also appear at vespers on the
following Sunday. He is known as the
man who has reached more university
students than any man alive. While
here he will be available for private
fconferences in addition to his appear
ances before the student body and at
the Y. M. C. A. hut.
MISS TINGLE EXHIBITS
VALUABLE LACE PIECES
Collection of Oriental and European
Sets Valued at $3,000; Some
Are Family Heirlooms
A collection of old lace valued at
more than $3,000, belonging to Miss
Lillian Tingle, was exhibited before the
members of the textile class in the
household arts department yesterday.
Ruth Kneeland, a senior in the Uni
versity, also gave a lesson in practical
pillow lace making, and Miss Tingle
gave a short talk on the economy of
buying real lace, and the historic value
of it.
Many pieces in the collection are val
ued at $700 each. Some of them were
made in modern times, blit the most of
.them are antique work, coming from
England, France, Switzerland, Belgium,
China, Spain, Italy, and Germany. Miss
Tingle also discussed the science of
studying the characteristics of different
localities as worked up in the specimens
of pillow lace. Several pieces of hand
work made in England during the early
Victorian age, were shown which had
stitches so small that a magnifying
glass was required to see them.
The textile class has had several per
; onal collections of hand work shown
j them during the term, which supplied
the necessary material for study which
is not given by the department.
GREATER OREGON
COMMITTEE PLANS
HOME ACTIVITIES
Group Chairman Makes Known
What Is Expected From
Student Body
STRESS ON GRADES ASKED
Work Done by Graduates from
Preparatory Schools Must
Be Considered
The Greater Oregon committee held
its final meeting before the Christ
mas vacation Thursday night in Dean
Straub’s room in the administration
building, and completed the formation
of plans for the Christmas holiday
work among the high schools through
out the state.
Colin V. Dyinent, dean of the school
of literature, science and the arts, spoke
before the committee presenting tho
view of the administration on the work
of the committee and especially empha
sized the necessity of getting quality
students who are thoroughly prepared
to enter the University before coming
here. He also advocated that an entire
ly friendly attitude be taken toward
the other smaller colleges on the coast.
Paul Paterson, chairman of the Great
er Oregon committee, asked that since
some of the important towns in the
state have not been assigned to any
one on the committee that students
coming from those towns got in touch
with him if they will be able to do any
work over the holidays. “Among these
towns,” Patterson said, “are Silverton,
The Dalles, Dallas, Bend, Corvallis and
many other similar important towns
in the state.” Patterson may be reach
ed at the Baclielordon house, 1338, or
through the office of the graduate man
ager, Jack Benefiel.
Alumni Are Listed
“For those members of the commit
tee coming from any of the following
towns it is asked,” said Patterson,
“that they get in touch with the alum
ni organization in their town, who are
anxious to cooperate with them in this
work.” The alumni list is as follows:
Roseburg, Walter E. Fisher, president,
Mrs. W. E. Fisher, secretary; Oregon
City, Frank Mount, president, Charles
Gratke, secretary; Albany, K. TI. Steel
quist, president, Roberta Yale, secre
tary; Salem, Lyle Bartholomew, presi
dent, Isla Gilbert, secretary; Astoria,
Virgil Earl, president, Olive Gilbert,
secretary; Portland, Harold F. Young,
president, Dorothy Flegel, secretary.
In addition to these there are also or
ganizations in McMinnville, The Dalles,
and Pendleton whose officers have not
yet reported. These organizations are
newly formed, and Patterson suggested
that since they are very live they will
probably be of great assistance to those
doing this work.
Preppers’ Grades Stressed
“The work of the committee as out
lined,” Patterson said, “is to stress to
the future student the necessity of
thorough preparation in order to gain
entrance into the University. We are
no longer striving for unmbers of stu
dents. It is quality students whom we
wish to attract. It is espesially urged
that the necessity of obtaining 10 units
in column one of the high school tran
script be stressed. This includes such
work as English, science, mathematics,
history and languages. No student,
without exception, can hope to enter
the University who has not 10 units in
these subjects. Many valuable students
were lost to the University this fall
through failure to comply with these
rules in their high school preparation.”
In addition to this point, Patterson
said that others which might be stress
ed are the benefits of professional train
ing, cultural background, democracy,
the comparative inexpensiveness of ed
ucation here, and the general Oregon
spirit. Further information regarding
this, Mr. Patterson said, may be obtain
ed through Jeannette Calkins, secretary
to the registrar, who has pamphlets full
of information on the subject.
Students to Help
“Every student is a member of the
Greater Oregon committee,” said Pat
terson, “and while not all of us are
asked to go before the high schools of
the state to talk for Oregon, we are
all asked to become familiar with the
information about our college, and to
talk our University and its good points
at every opportunity with future stu
dents, and voters of the state, stress
ing always the quality of work desired
and the spirit of higher education that
is prevalent at Oregon.”
A meeting is to be held Saturday af
ternoon at one o’clock in the “Y” hut
for all people from Pendleton who will
be there over vacation.
The revised Greater Oregon commit
tee follows: Portland, James Meek;

UNIVERSITY ORCHESTRA
WILL REPEAT PROGRAM
Pop Concert to Be Repeated During
First of Winter Term; Audience
Appreciates Offering
In response to several requests that
have been received by Rex Underwood,
director of the University orchestra,
the program of the “pop” concert,
which was given in Villard hall last
night, will be repeated some time dur
1 ing the early part of next term.
The program is made up of modern
compositions which are characteristic
of all symphony orchestra programs and
it is given with the idoa of educating
the students of the University in the
best orchestral literature that can be
given.
“Last night's attendance was conspi
cuous because of the greater number of
men than women who were there,” said
Mr. Underwood, “and at the completion
of the program, no one left immediately
but waited for more, even when the
players were leaving the stage and the
instruments being put away.”
Aurora Potter Underwood, pianist,
who was soloist of the concert last
night will also be soloist for the next
concert, repeating the Chopin group.
EMERALD STAFF WILL
COMPETE FOR AWARDS
Efficient Work on Daily Will Be
Rewarded by Prizes
For the purpose of furthering the
efficiency of the Emerald staff, begin
ning next term monetary awards and
recognition will be given to members of
the staff who exeel in various branches
of newspaper work on the daily. This
year a budget of $150 has been set aside
for this purpose out of the Emerald
finances and this money will be distri
buted for efficiency in news gathering,
news writing, and management. It was
originally intended to have the money
distributed over a period covering the
three terms, but the budget was not ap
proved until recently and it was
thought advisable to give the money
for work done during the winter and
spring terms.
Tlie two highest awards will go to
the most consistent worker and to the
news editor handling the desk work
and assignments in the most proficient
manner. These prizes will bo $10 each.
Other awards listed are $5 for the night
editor getting out the paper with the
fewest number of typographical errors,
$5 for the student handing in the great
est number of tips during the term,
$2.50 for second prize for tips handed
in, $5 and $2.50 for the greatest num
ber of unassigned stories handed in, $6
for the best, news story of the term,
$4 for the best feature story.
The editors believe that the system
of prizes will enable all members of the
staff to compete for honors and will
greatly add to the efficiency in news
gathering and news writing.
At the end of the winter term all
records will be checked up and the win
ner made known. The spring awards
will be made at the Emerald banquet,
held at the Hotel Osburn after the last
Emerald of the year has been “put to
bed.”
WOMEN DEBATERS CHOSEN
Seven Selected at Tryouts; One Other
Will Be Picked Later

ven who participated in the Varsity try
outs yesterday in the Commerce build
ing. The eighth member of the de
bating team will be chosen at the next
tryout.

versity of Washington will be held
next term. The question that will be
discussed is “Resolved, That the United
1 States should cancel the war debts of
France and Italy.”
The women chosen were Margaret
Duerner, Lurline Coulter, May Fenno,
Mildred Bateman, Eugenia Strickland,
Edna Largent, and Frances Simpson.
From the following four, the other
debater will be chosen: Margaret Wood
son, Ethel Johnson, Frances Ward, and
Margaret Morrison.
CLUB DANCE POSTPONED

bers.
“The dance is not permanently given
up,” said Professor F. S. Dunn, acting
chairman of the faculty social club
“merely postponed until after vacation
During the rest of the year, we hav<
planned to have a dance the seconc
Friday in very month. These wil
take place regularly unless something

8. S. A. E.230
9. Friendly Hall .217
10. Beta Theta Pi.214
11. Kappa Delta Phi.139
The Sigma Chi Pentathlon team cap
tured first in this event for the second
successive year by making a total of
418 points in the meet last night, to
345 for the Kappa Theta Chi team,
which was second. The Kappa Sigs took
third place with but four points less,
their total boing 341. Fourth place
went to Delta Tau with 321, fifth to the
IFi.jis with 287 and sixth to Baehclordon
with 281.
The Pentathlon was run off in its
entirety last evening instead of the
method used last season in giving each
team its time in taking the tests. Lyle
Palmer, Sigma Chi was high point man
last evening with 123 points, only a
few lower than the record snore of 131
made by Haddon Rockhey last year.
Phil Itingle, also a Sigma Chi, made
103 points and set a high record in the
bar vault by going six feet six inches
off the floor. Ringle had a, high score
up to the swim, but fell down in this,
and thus lost his chance of being high
point man this year.
Virden Individual Star
Ben Virden, the individual star of
last year’s do-nut track meet, stepped
out in the 100 yard dash on the gym
track making it in 22 seconds and two
fifths, thus annexing 35 points by this
one event. Virden made 103 points
also, thus tying with Itingle for second
place honors.
The event which attracted the most
interest was the bar vault, as this year
a new rule is in effect, being that none
of the contestants were allowed to
touch a piece of cardboard suspended by
a string from the bar, thus making it a
great deal more difficult than last year
when some high scores were made on
the bar, as some of the men went over
seven feet by taking a swing.
The meet started at 7:30, but be
cause of the length of time taken in
running off the high jump and bar
vault it was eleven o’clock before it
was finished.
The five events which were run off
in the meet were the high jump, bar
vault, 100 yard run, rope climb, and
the 100 yard swim. The swim came last
on the program, and the rather slow
time made by most of the contestants
is accounted for by the fact that they
were tired out from taking part in the
other events.
Meet Is Interesting
The meet was interesting throughout
and quite a large group of spectators
were present to cheer for their teams.
The meet was a great improvement
over the pentathlon of last year and the
men taking part showed that they had
practiced for it a great deal more.
Eleven teams in all were entered, and
all took a great deal of interest in the
evening’s work.
STUDENTS TO SEE CLASSIC
, Oregon Will Be Represented at Annual
East-West Gridiron Contest
Many Oregon students whose homes
are in the south as well as Oregon alum
j ni are planning to see the big East
) West game at Pasadena between the
University of Southern California and
Penn State. No check has been made,
although many students whose homes
are near Pasadena have stated their
intention of viewing the classic.
Graduate Manager Benefiel states
that Oregon students or alumni who
wish to Bee the game should write to
Gwinn Wilson, graduate manager of
■U. S, C., stating that they are from
the University of Oregon. Such re
quests for tickets or reservations will
be promptly honored with the best
available seats.
