Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIV. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY. JANUARY 18, 1923 NUMBER 68 FRANK B. RILEY IS TO SPEAK AT Lecturer Is Noted Publicist and Lawyer; People’s Own Country Pictured SLIDES ARE TO BE SHOWN Work of Speaker. Praised by Eastern Critics; Triumphs ; on West Coast In his illustrated address at Univer sity assembly this morning on the lure of the great Northwest, Frank Branch Biley, noted lawyer and publicist of the Pacific Coast, will bring to Oregonians to. picture of their own country which lias been made famous throughout the United States and has made the West the goal of all easterners who have heard him on his tours of the country, according to the enthusiastic reports which have followed his lectures. Many students will remember Mr. Biley’s ap pearance on the campus two years ago and will recall his power of graphic description and the sense of humor which has made his lectures so popular. Mr. Biley’s illustrations of the coun try which he describes are the product of numerous trips into the mountains and uncultivated sections of the north west and his slides are colored so that those who see them may feel that they have actually taken an excursion into the wilderness with this experienced guide. Since his last lecture on the campus, Mr. Biley has obtained a com plete new set of slides and these Trill all be shown this morning. Eastern critics in speaking of Mr. Biley’s appearances praise him spon taneously and enthusiastically and the title of “Evangelist of the Northwest” has followed him back to Oregon. The Plymouth Institute of New York de clares that he has “more magnetism, more fire, more fun and more genuine affection for his subject material than any lecturer we have ever heard in New York,” and similar praise has been showered upon him by all the organiza tions which he has addressed. An un precedented demand for his illustrated travel-story has called him on his sixth annaul lecture tour. He is recognized as the man who has done more than anyone else to sell the West to outsid ers, and to advertise the resources and beauty spots to the world. His appear ances are sponsored by the leading civic educational, social and scientific organ izations in the West and his repeated triumphs in the East have proved his value to the states which he represents. By profession Mr. Biley is a noted lawyer and publicist of the Pacific Coast and he makes his headquarters in Portland. His avocation of traveler and lecturer occupies most of his time however, and his enthusiasm for the country which he knows so well always arouses the sympathy of his audiences. His lecture has been called the pure gold of entertainment and this com bined with the native interest of his story make him beloved by all who hear him. The assembly will be held in Villard hall at eleven o’clock wnce it is im possible to show slides ia the women’3 gymnasium before dark TRUE PRODIGY IS FOUND AT LAST W. K. NEWELL, ALTHOUGH BEGIN | NEE, LEAENS GOLF EAPIDLY ! Many Faculty Members Among Devo ! tees of Ancient Scotch Pastime; Competition on Links A true prodigy has at last been found on the campus. The University’s schol ars, artists and writers have never had a greater claim for praise in their par ticular fields of endeavor than this pro digy has in his. He is W. K. Newell of the faculty, and his remarkable abil ity has been exhibited in the game of golf. Although he had never played golf before this fall he took it up last term and lias played like an experienced de votee from the start. In fact, his skill has called forth the praise of his less skilled, rather jealous companions. Mr. Newell is not, by any means, the only golfer the faculty claims. Mr. Robert W. Prescott, who was formerly a member of the faculty, and is now connected with Eugene real estate busi ness, has won several cups at various times for golf championships. Other faculty players are Bertha Stuart, Professor DeCou, Dean E. W. Allen, Dr. W. E. Savage, Mr. G. S. Turnbull and J. F. Bovard, who main tains his own links on the campus. ROBINSON CHOSEN FOR VACANT COUNCIL SEAT Two-Year Term Position Given to Fill Gram’s Place Claude Robinson will act as junior man on the Executive Council to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Harlan Gram. This was the action of the council at the regular meeting last night in accordance with the pro vision of the constitution that the coun I cil shall fill vacancies among its mem ibership. Robinson is a major in economics and has been prominent in student affairs. In addition to serving on numerous committees he has been active in foren sic work and is a varsity debater. The position to which he is elected is to complete the two-year term started by Gram this fall. Gram’s resignation, which went into effect at the end of the fall term was caused by his not being enrolled in the University. He plans to complete his college course in the East. The budget for the first’ part of the year 1923 was approved, along with the (report of the graduate manager. The council granted permission for schedul ing a game with a Hawaiian basketball team here February 7. STEEL MAKING TO BE SEEN — Chemistry and Condon Clubs Will Pre sent Six-Reel Film Friday Night The Chemistry and Condon clubs will present jointly a six-reel film entitled “The Story of Steel” in Villard -hall Friday night at 7:30. The picture de picts the processes through which the crude iron ore passes until it is chang ed into hardened steel. O. F. Stafford, professor of chemis try, obtained the film from the Federal Bureau of Mines. Art Collection One of Finest of Kind, Says Portland Critic By Katherine Watson A white-haired woman, seated with a Chinese manderin coat spread across her knees, a carved lacquer box held in her hands, the soft lamplight fall ing alike on white hair and Japanese prints that line the wall, Mrs. H. C. Wortman of Portland, talking softly of travels in Japan, China, Persia, India, of pictures, vases and laces, seems qual ified to discuss and evaluate the Mur ray Warner ar; collection of the Uni versity. And listening, one forgets the rain outside, the lateness of the hour, every thing but the coats, the prints, or the little Japanese maid who came noise lessly within range of the dancing fire light once or twice and seemed but an other trophy, a doll carried home from the Orient. “The Murray Warner collection is one of the finest of the minor art col lections that I know of,” said Mrs. Wortman. “By minor art I do not mean an inferior art; so many' misun derstand. There are always the two arts, an expression of the emotion and a desire to decorate, the last of which is a little apt to be passed over by the great artists who realize little and understand less of its real importance.” She v ent on to outline the vast field covered by this branch of clothing, household articles, rugs, architecture, all that adds to the “livableness” of life. She explained that “decorative art is more limited, more circumscribed, than a pure expression of emotion, that it must be suitable for the thing decora ted, must comply in size and material, and then, of course, there is the re petition that occurs.” Of all the objects comprising the col lection, textiles, lacquer, armor, paint ings, prints, Mrs. Wortman expressed her belief that the coats, many of which are very rare, are the most important. ■ There are long Manchu coats and short Manchu coats worn by the women, and a large number of Mandarin coats, some embroidered richly and almost all trim med in a heavy Tibetan silk. “The Japanese prints, which fill an entire room of the Warner art collec tion, are an almost complete represen tation of all the later print-makers,” !said Mrs. Wortman. She went on to tell about the interesting process by which Japanese prints are made. The | early prints were all done in black and white lines, and it was only after many years that one of the print-makers con i ceived the idea of putting the colors bf rose and green into the picture. A separate block is necessary for each col br used. The print-makers following this man reasoned that if colors im (Continued on page two.)

YELL LEADER IS WANTED Many Urged to Tryout; Probability of Place on Student Council An opportunity will be given at the basketball game Friday evening to any student desiring to tryout for the posi tion of yell leader, according to Art Rosebraugh. The chances are very good he says, that those trying out for this position will be chosen since the pre sent yell leaders will not be on the staff very long. “I hope there will be quite a number on hand for the tryout Friday night,” f these was the case of a freshman who bewalied to a member of the board ■that lie “thought the term plan was like we had in high school and the semester like we have here at the University.” As a result of his misunderstanding he had placed his X in the wrong square. However, these exceptions were very rare, according to the board, several of whose members stated that students appeared to have reasons for voting a certain way, and desired to express (Continued on page four.) MANY SUBSCRIPTIONS TAKEN FOR OREGANA Several Organizations Reach 100 Per Cent Goal Five houses reported 100 per cent in the Oregana drive late last night and (several more lacked only a few sub scriptions to put them up to their full' quota. Sales were everywhere mount ing rapidly and more were expected to sell today. Alpha Sigma was the first house to report 100 peii cent and they were fol lowed closely by Phi Sigma Pi, Alpha Delta Pi and Chi Omega had reached dheh- goal by seven o’clock last night and Alpha Beta Chi reported a full subscription soon after. Susan Campbell hall lacked only two of having one hundred per cent sub scription, while Newman hall also re ported that they were two short. Hen dricks hall sold in the vicinity of one hundred books and was rapidly ap proaching a 100 per cent subscription. Several other houses were not sure of their standing late last night. All mon *ey and receipt stubs will be turned in to the Oregana office before tonight when a complete count will be made according to Myron Shannon, circula tion manager. Jason McCune, manager of the Ore gana, said last night that a goal of fif teen hundred Oreganas was set at the beginning of the drive, counting the total sale outside the campus as well as on the campus. From all indications in the large reports sent in by all of Ahe houses the drive will go over this estimate several hundred copies. Alpha Phi last night reported a sale of 21 copies, Gamma Phi Beta 20, Delta Gamma 20, Delta Zeta 15, Pi Beta Phi 15,„Kappa Kappa Gamma 21 and the booth in the library sold one hundred and twenty-five yesterday. Men’s houses as a whole seemed to be selling less books than the women’s houses. The Oregana office has definitely an nounced that only the number of books sold now will be ordered and that there will be no extras in the spring. The price of the book this year is $4.75, $2.50 of which is now paid and the other $2.25 will be due Junior Week end when the book will be out. Only one day, yesterday, was alloted for the drive for subscriptions. A few late sub scriptions will come in this morning and no more will be taken, according to the announcement by Shannon. MESSAGE TO BE GIVEN Miss Elaine Cooper, a graduate of the University of Oregon, will broadcast a radio message from Portland, on Jan uary 29, “radio day,” for the Christian Endeavorers of America.

The message is to be heard all over the United States and will be broadcasted from the Port land radio station. LANE ALUMNI BANQUET LAST NIGHT AT DSBUHN Graduates Organize and Will Aid in Gift Campaign The largest alumni organization of any of the county organizations thus far perfected to carry out the gift campaign among the University of Ore gon alumni was organized last night at a banquet of the Lane county alumni at the Osburn hotel. Approx imately one ^hundred and fifty ex-Ore gon students were present at the ban quet. President P. L. Campbell spoke of the. progress of the gift campaign and told of his recent visit to the larger eastern colleges. These eastern institutions, he said, are, now undertaking identically the same plan as Oregon to secure funds. Yale college, he said, has per fected a wonderful organization among her alumni and receives $4150,000 an nually from them. The gift movement is general all over the United States. In securing more money for all col leges the officials of the campaigns ex pect to derive the greatest part of the funds from the friends of the institu tions in gifts plus the appropriations and taxes from the state, with the es pecial effort of their alumni.

MRSITK QUINTET FACES ACID TEST Idaho and Willamette to Put Veteran Teams on Floor This Week-End VANDAL FORWARD WONDER Lemon-Yellow Squad Displays Promise; Hunk Latham Big Aid in Offensive VARSITY GAMES At Eugene Armory Jan. 19—Willamette, 8. Jan. 20—Idaho, 7:45. Jan. 25—Washington. Feb. 5—Washington State. Feb. 9—0. A. C. Feb. 10—0. A. O. Hawaiian team coming—Date to be scheduled. • • • Frosh-Rook Games Feb. 9 and 10. Reserved seats on sale at Hauser Bros, and Co-op. By Ed Fraser The crucial test of the Oregon bas ketball team comes this week end when they meet Willamette and Idaho here on Friday and Saturday at 8 and 7:45 respectively. Willamette comes first on Fridaj and from all reports has a better team than last year’s which won two games from the Lemon-Yellow. The game with Idaho on Saturday is the big game, however, as Idaho was the Pacific coast conference champion last year, and has all but one veteran back this season. The Vandals gave Oregon two sound drubbings last sea son, and are rated as the strongest ag gregation again, so nothing would give Oregon quite so much pleasure as to send them home on tho short end of the score. They have with them A1 Fox, who was the high point man of the conference last year, and Chapman and Schafer certainly have their work cut out for them in this contest. Willamette, although not as strong as Idaho, has a fast bunch, for they held tit* Aggies to a low score in the game played at Corvallis last week, and are coming to Eugene with the intention of repeating last year’s performance. Oregon Squad Stronger Both these teams are stronger than last season, but they will no doubt be 'greatly surprised at the strength of Or egon, for the addition of Latliam, Chap man, Schafer and Cowans has made it several times more dangerous in a scoring way than it was last season. Hunk is the strongest addition to the team, and if he keeps up the work he has shown so far this season, he is headed for an all-coast berth. Zim merman also has improved remarkably and is shooting better than ever. The team has been working out reg ularly this week, but has had no scrim mages, Coach Bolder’s idea being that after tho conference season begins tho games give the players nearly all the scrimmage play they need. A peculiar circumstance connected with the team is that although there were five letermcn back at the first of the year from last year’s team, only one, Zimmerman, is playing as a reg ular.

Youthful Biologist Discovers New Creature In Investigation By Don Woodward An aspiring young investigator en rolled in the course of freshman biol ogy, while in taking a census of the teeming life contained in a drop of ditch water, suddenly relaxed the mus cles of his lower jaw and squinted even more painfully through the micro scope. In the center of that little world, crowded with darting Paramecia and colonies of delicate-stalked Vorticellae, the youthful microscopist perceived a violent agitat:on. Like the spinning vortex of a whirl pool the surrounding fluid appeared as though lashed by the beat of the Fla gella, or tail, of some microscopic mon ster. The student watched breathlessly as a blundering Paramecium approached, its myriads of Cilia, small whip-like hairs, propelling it rapidly toward the dangerous spot. Straight ahead lay its doom. Nothing could save it. The observer all but cried aloud to stop the heedless Cell. Slowly a branch of the Vorticellae ' colony uncoiled, the cup-like termina i tion unfolding as an etheral blossom. Around the rim of the cup, a circle of j Cilia commenced to wave, forcing a ; stream of liquid into the mouth. Squarely between the onrushing Par ' amecium and its gyrating whirl ot doom extended the innocent bell-sliaped Vorticella. Crash! The two Protozoan bodies col lided. In a flash the Vorticella withdrew from the line of vision, shrinking back, its slender stem coiling in a minute spiral. The startled Paramecium halted, paused a moment before the fascinated spectator, and then, with wildly thrash ing Cilia, the long cigar-like form sped away and out of danger. The tense body of the student re llaxed. The agitation still persisted, [the movements being so rapid that he could ascertain nothing as to the true form of the creature. This had gone far enough. The sym pathetic and kindly investigator press ed the two glass slides together between Kvhich the drop of water rested. “He would obliterate that terrible monster.” With the eyedropper he carefully i placed a new speck of ditch-water be lt ween the slides. Applying his eye to the microscope j once more he uttered a gasp. Another of the horrible things was in this slide, too. He called a labora tory assistant. Bui the assistant could not name it. It must not be known to (Continued on page three.)
