UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6. 1923 NUMBER 84 NOTED HISTORIAN WILL ARRIVE ON CAMPUSTODAY Charles Upson Clark to Give Series of Lectures When # on Oregon Campus WILL ADDRESS ASSEMBLY Affairs of Near East, Subject of Talk in Villard Hall Thursday Morning The visit of. Charles Upson Clark, well known student of American and international affairs, to the University campus on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week provides for the University student body one of the best educational chances of the college year to get in touch with the world outside of the college sphere, according to Dean Uric W. Allen of the school of journal ism, who with Professor R. C. Clark, head of the history department, is in •charge of Dr. Clark’s program during .'his visit to the campus. Dr. Clark comes to the University prepared to lecture on many phases of European situations, ancient and mod ern, as well as on purely American problems. In order that he may come in closer contact with the students of the University and present to them in a more particular manner the phases of the various world problems in which the different groups of University students are interested, the speaker’s • program las been so arranged that the only large body of students which he will ad dress at one time is the University assembly, before which he will speak Thursday morning on “The Problems •of the Near East.” This subject has been chosen in view of the fact that the condition of affairs in the Near East has shown indications of being extremely interesting this week, and it is a phase of foreign affairs in which students are as a rule not so well versed. Will Arrive Tonight Dr. Clark will arrive in Eugene to night at 6:45 and will give his first campus lecture Wednesday morning at 11 o’clock in room 105, Commerce hall. His subject will be “Geographical Fac tors in the Modern European Situa •tion.” Following this lecture, Dr. Clark -will lecture at the time and place shown in the temporary program given below.

EX-FACULTY MAN DIES Shad 0. Krantz, Formerly Professor of Commerce Here • Shad 0. Krantz, former member of the school of commerce facu^y, died Friday morning at the Clara Barton hospital in Los Angeles, after an oper .ation for appendicitis. Mr. Krantz was well known throughout the Northwest as a journalist. He came to Portland in 1911 and worked for several years on the Oregonian, his assignments be ing chiefly on railroad, lumbering and financial beats. Early in the war Mr. Krantz was of fered a professorship in the school of commerce under Dean D. Walter Mor -ton, a position which he held with eredit for some time, resigning to be .come assistant secretary of the West Coast Lumbermen’s association. This work led to his appointment as Pacific coast manager, of the Gulf Coast Lum berman. He left Portland in 1920 to publish a lumber magazine in Los Angeles. Mr. Krantz was 38 years old. CASES OF ’'FLU" STILL COME. IN EEPOET IS THAT NTJMBEE ON .SICK LIST IS DECEEASING Infirmary Still Closed to Visitors; Eandall Jones Much Improved; Livingston Back at Work While the total number of patients is decidedly less, there are still a few real ‘flu’ cases coming into the in firmary,” said Dr. Livingston yester day. “It is hard to say just when the epidemic will be over but we will not allow visitors for some time yet, simply because it is a better policy to keep the patients quiet.” Dr. Livingston, who has been on the sick list himself for the past week, is back at work again, and though he still feels “somewhat shaky,” according to his own statement, he is much better. Randall Jones of the Sigma Chi house, who was severely injured last week when run over by an auto, has sufficiently recovered to be sent home from the infirmary. Jones complains I of hearing poorly in his right ear but ' according to Dr. Livingston, this dif ficulty will probably be overcome as time goes on though it is impossible to say just what will develop. He plans to be back at his University work, however, by next week. Dr. Conklin, head of the psychology department, has also been on the sick ; ^*st the past few days, his complaint being sore throat and bronchial trouble. J He expects to meet his classes today if j further complications develop. -- FACULTY AGAIN V0TIN6 ON SEMESTER SYSTEM Referendum Result Will Be Known on Wednesday The decision* of the faculty on the referendum of the semester plan which has been the chief topic of contention on the campus for several weeks will be made known on .Wednesday after the regular faculty meeting. Assistant professors and instructors have been asked to vote on the measure in order that their opinions may be known and their votes are rapidly coming in to the registrar’s office. Word is expected from the faculty of the medical school in Portland today and ballots will be distributed to all voting members of the faculty this afternoon so that the final decision may be announced at the meeting Wednesday afternoon. All those who received ballots must have them in at the registrar’s office by three o ’clock on Wednesday in order that they may be reported and counted. This decision will make the end of a long controversy over the relative mer its of the three term and semester sys tems of University sessions. The de cision of the faculty to adopt the se mester plan at a meeting several weeks ago met with such lively comment and opposition that it was moved at the next faculty meeting to vote on a ref erendum. When the opinions of the assistant professors, instructors, and members of the staff of the medical school are all received faculty members will be advised of their attitude on the question and this as well as the-over whelming majority of the students’ vote for the three term plan will be the new elements which may carry the ref erendum. CONDON CLUB ISSUES BULLETIN TO ALUMNI Quarterly Publication Contains Infor mation of Unusual Interest to Oregon Geologists Condon club section of the G. M. S. A. U. in a few days will mail to alumni of the organization the quarterly news j bulletin containing information which will be of interest to the Oregon geol- j ogists, now scattered through many states of the Union. The Condon club bulletin was started i over a year and a half ago by Hubert j Schenck, graduate student in the de partment of geology, after returning from the Philippine islands. The quar terly this term is edited by Phil Bro gan, managing editor of the Daily Em erald, who is interested in geological work and is associated with the Condon club. One of the main features played up in the bulletin for the winter term is the granting of Sigma Xi, national hon orary scientific fraternity, to the Uni versity of Oregon. All three members • of the geology faculty, Dr. W. D. Smith, Dr. E. L. Packard, and Dr. E T Hodge, are members of Sigma Xi, and it is probable that students who have been graduated from the department in re cent years and who have been engaged in original research work will be elec ted to the fraternity This fact has been mentioned in the bulletin. MASK AND BUSKIN IS TO STAGE BIG DRAMA AT UEILIG “Come Out of the Kitchen” by A. E. Thomas Will Be Put O.i by Company ELEVEN INCLUDED IN CAST Advance Ticket Sales to Start Monday; Claire Keeney Is Director The first student play to be staged on a large scale this college year is slated to attract crowds to the" Heilig theater Thursday, February 15, when an all-star student cast will present “Come Out of the Kitchen,” a spark ling three-act comedy, written by A. E. Thomas. A cast of eleven men and women, all of whom have delighted theater-goers by their ability in years past, has been working diligently on the play for the past two weeks under the direction of Claire Keeney of the department of drama and speech arts. Excellent pro gress has been made, according to Kee ney7, who predicts this will be one of the most finished plays a student cast has ever produced here. Keeney bases his prediction on the fact that the cast is made up of experienced people and because the play is so adaptable to a college audience that the entire com pany is enthused in their practice work. Play Is Clever “Come Out of the Kitchen,” clever, snappy, mirth-provoking, is one of the best known play-s of Mr. Thomas, and has had a phenomenal success both on the legitimate stage and movie screen. The play is being produced under the auspices of Mask and Buskin, honor ary dramatic fraternity. Vern O. Fudge is serving as business manager and has a good-sized staff at work now collect ing properties. The advance ticket sale will start Monday morning with low prices being one of the popular features of the pro duction. Seats, which can be reserved at the theaters on the day preceding the Show, will be 75 cents and 50 cents.

The high school team was clearly outclassed j throughout the game, as the men on the ! squad were much smaller and slower than the yearlings. Bill Gosser with 14 baskets to his j credit for a total of 28 points, was the I big gun tor the frosh, while Buddie Singlor and Baughman showed up best! for the high school team. The frosh played a fast aggressive I game and kept the other team on the defensive throughout. The passing of the visitors was good, but they were unable to solve the five-man defense of the frosh, and most of -their points came from long baskets. The yearling squad has a heavy schedule this week as Wednesday after noon they tangle with Ashland high school in the men’s gym, and on Friday and Saturday play the Aggie rooks here as preliminaries to the Varsity contests. Since they dropped one game to the rooks at Corvallis last week-end, it means they must win both games here in order to have a clean record. LAST DAy FOR LAB FEES Only one more day! Then the busi-j ness office begins to eliminate from the list of -students the name' of those who have been delinquent in paying their lab fees. For the iast few days the office has been crowded with stu dents who have waited until the last minute. Nothwithstanding this great ■ rush the cashiers report that they think there will be a large number of de- j linquents. As yet no statistics or re ports have been made. FREE VERSE POET CAMPUS VISITOR ON FEBRUARY 23 Carl Sandburg Secured by Speakers’ Committee for Lectures WORK WINS HIGH PRAISE Corn Fields and Railroads Are Subject Matter of Feature Writer Car] Sandburg, sometimes called the “Chicago Poet” and known universally for his propensities along free verse and journalistic lines, will appear on the campus February 2.'!, according to in formation made public by Fred Michel son, chairman of the student speakers committee, today. Sandburg is hailed by the critics as one of the foremost poets of this age. Among the well known poems are Corn huskers” and “Smoke and Steel” which he has given in the past in various as sembles in the leading cities and uni versities of America. He \vas born in Galesburg, 111., in 1878. Early in his career he was secretary to the mayor of Milwaukee, and later became editor of the System magazine. Is Newspaper Man Since his early beginning he has held a place on various newspapers, either as editorial or literary feature writer. In 1914 he was awarded the Levinson prize, which is given by the “Poetry Magazine” for the best verse of the year. In 1898 he was in the military service in Porto Rico, as a buck private iik company “C,” 6th Illinois volun teers. The “Chicago Poet” is now making his first tour west and will speak in Missoula, Montana, on the twentieth and in Seattle on the twenty-second. Sandburg, in the language of the street, is a “regular poet.” He writes about corn fields and railroad tracks and things that everyone is interested in. Praised by White William Allen White, well known au thor and journalist, says of the poet: “The Carl Sandburg entertainment is more than a lecture. It is a concert, grand opera, philosophic pabulum and dramatic entertainment all in one. I have never enjoyed an evening’s enter tainment more. I can recommend it to the high brow or the lowbrow without stint.” Arrangements for the sale of tickets will be announced at a later date when a definite admission charge has been settled upon by the student committee. Sandburg’s popularity demands a lib eral stipend, and it may therefore be necessary to increase the entrance fee above the twenty-five cent mark. Tick ets will be on sale at th Co-op, Kuy kendall’s and all the living organiza tions, where they can be procured by the students and town’s people. FROSH FOOTBALL MEN TO RECEIVE SWEATERS Twenty-Six Frosh Athletes Will Be Awarded Numerals by Class Today in Villard Hall Twenty-six members of the freshman football squad will receive their sweat ers and numerals this afternoon at 4:15 in Villard hall. The sweaters which are due in color will bo of the V neck style and will have the number 26 icross the front instead of in a circle is the numerals have been in past j'ears. This is the first time in the nistory of the University that the first rear men have been awarded sweaters. Die class voted favorably on the mat ter at a meeting held the latter part >f the fall term. A news story in Saturday’s Emerald dated that the sweaters were to be iwarded on that day instead of today ind as a result much confusion was mused in the class. Those who will be awarded sweaters ire Gosser, Hunt, Bliss, Warren, Sin clair, Mau^z, Carlburg, Pearson, Mc Millan, Bass, Scriptures, Mays, Mosier, Anderson, Mills, Paulson, Purvine, Brasterhouse, Stoddard, Navet, Aiken, Peak, Bitner, Hobson, Toole and Shri ave. OREGONIA DANCE CHANGED The party which has been planned by the members of Oregonia, faculty so cial club on the campus has been chang ed from Friday evening to Thursday of this week. Since the Frosh Glee will be held in the Woman’s building on Friday and Oregonia entertains at the same place the faculty has decided to change the date of their affair. Those in charge of the party announce that it is to be formal for all who attend. Cougar Player Who Starred Last Night Jack Friel INSTRUMENT IS NEEDED TO RECORD TREMEORS Earthquakes Pass Unnoticed in State of Oregon Oregon'has no right to sponge on her sistor states for .scientific knowledge, or to continue to be the missing seis mic link in the Pacific coast territory, believes Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of the geology department, who points out that there is not an instrument in the entire state to record earthquakes. Dr. Smith is acquainted with the Hawaiian region devastated by a tidal wave a few days ago and touched upon the need of a seismograph in Oregon when discussing the probable center of the earth tremlors which hurled the South Pacific waters into mountainous tidal waves. Dr. Smith in recent years has made a detailed study of earthquakes in Or egon and in 1919 published a bulletin on the subject. In this bulletin he quotes Count Montessus de Ballore, perhaps the world’s greatest authority on seismic phenomena, who states there is a seismic hiatus between Crescent City and Portland. Dr. Smith says that this is a hiatus of ignorance brought about by the absence of an instrument to record the tremlors. Data compilod over a period of years show that somo ■jo earthquakes have been observed in Oregon. Last year an earthquake was felt in Eugene. A good seismograph will cost several thousand dollars, but Dr. Smith states an instrument to record local tremlors can be set up for a few hundred dollars. The nearest instruments to the Univer sity are located at the University of Washington and Gonzaga. There are five or more seismographs in California and, as emphasized by Dr. Smith, Ore gon is obviously the missing link in the Pacific state group. Earth shocks have been reported several times in differ ent parts of the state, but due to the lack of a recording instrument these (Continued on page three.) UNIVERSITY HIGH VICTOR Cottage Grove Hoopers Snowed Under by Count of 31-15 in Game Here The University high school de feated the Cottage Grove high school Friday night by the score of 31 to 15 in the game ih the men’s gym on the University campus. The score at the end of the first half stood 15-10 in fa vor of the University high squad and a favorable lead was held until the end of the game. The contest was charac terized by speed and clean playing, three fouls only being called on the two teams. Hidings, playing forward for the U. H. 8. team, was high point man with 17 to his credit, while Heek, visiting forward, led his aggregation with 5 points. Next Wednesday afternoon the Uni versity high school will mix with the Eugene high school. The University high lads head the upper Willamette district with no defeats chalked up against them. COUGARS DEFEAT OREGON IN FAST HOOP STRUGGLE Second Period Rally Ruins Varsity’s Chances in Championship Race BOTH SIDES CHECK CLOSE Game With Hawaiian Team Called Off Because of Recent Injuries By Ed Fraser The Washington State Cougars came , back in the Inst half of the game last night, with the score standing 10 to 6 against them, and by shooting six bas j kots from the center of the floor man aged to run their total up to 21, while i the Lemon-yellow tossers seemed un able to locate the hoop with any of their numerous attempts and scored on ly 5 points during the last 20 minutes, j the final score being 21 to 15 favoring I the visitors. This defeat by the northern team ; was something of a surprise to Oregon | dopesters, although everyone knew they had a lot on the ball because of their win over tho Idaho Vandals. Captain Friel was the shining light for the Cou gars, as his four baskets in the last half were mainly responsible for the win. Poor Ball Played The entire Oregon team played the poorest brand of ball they have shown so far this season, and their passing and shooting was raggod. The poor shooting was especially noticeable, for when the team which ran up 40 points on Idaho was able to get only five bas kets they certainly are off. Practically every basket of the game was made from the center of the floor, the one exception being one made by Sorenson for the Cougars early in the game. Washington also had the better of the foul shooting, as they made three out of four, while Hunk could gather in only five out of eleven for the Varsity. Teams Check Close This game coming immediately after tho O. A. C. contests seemingly caught the Lemon-Yellow in a slump, for they, played a much slower brand of ball than against Idaho, O. A. C., or any of the other teams they have met so fur. The redeeming feature was the close chocking by both sides, as neither team could get a clear shot closer than the center of the floor, and although La tham, Zimmerman, Gowans, Chapman and Shafer are probably the most ac curate shooting aggregation that has over represented Oregon tlioy eortainly were far from being in form last night, aud repeatedly missed fairly easy shots. This defeat practically puts Oregon out of the running for Northwest hon ors, but if the men all get back into condition by Friday night they may be able to lower the Aggie colors. Hawaiian Game Off The game with the Hawaiian all-star team which was to be played here Wednesday has boon called off by the manager of that quintet, as they have canceled their tour of the Northwest because of the fact that several men on the squad were injured in some of the games played in California.

TO HAVE VISITOR Esther Dayman to Come in Interest of Girls Reserve Corps Next Thursday and Friday, Miss Es ther Dayman, Pacific coast director for the Y. W. C. A. girls’ work, will be a visitor on this campus. Her purpose in coming is to inspect the girls’ club work going on in Eugene. She is also planning to talk with a number of groups who are interested in organiz ing a Girls’ Reserve corps. A special meeting will be announced later, at which University girls who are interested in high school and gram mar school girls’ clubs, camps and play grounds, can attend. Anyone wno would like to join a training class given by Miss Dayman for two days should call the Bungalow and leave their names with Miss Collier. Already the class is being filled up as many of the physical education girls are interested.
