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.

FROSH HOOPERS DEFEAT
MEDFORD FIVE 47-27
Games With Ashland High and Aggie
Rooks Scheduled for This Week;
Gosser Is High Point Man
The frosh kept up' their winning
streak by taking Eddie Durno’s Med- ■
ford high school team down the line
for a 47 to 27 defeat yesterday after- j
noon in the men’s gym. 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.

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

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.

Y. W. 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.
