Alumni Make Good Regents
The announcement of the appointment of Fred Fisk, an Oregon
graduate with the elass of 1897, as a regent of the University to suc
ceed A. C. Dixon emphasizes a new field for graduates. What better
way to serve the state and the cause of education than by acting
as a regent of a state university? And where can better material for
such positions be secured than among the body of the alumni?
The work of Mr. Dixon during his term of office has been a
distinct service to education. It would have been difficult to find a
man better suited to act on the board. It is only the fact that his
successor is also well suited to the demands which will be made upon
his time and on his knowledge that insures perpetuation of the ef
fective service given by Mr. Dixon. Fred Fisk has demonstrated his
interest in the University since the day of his graduation. His work
as upholder of the interests of higher education in the legislature just
closed has been signal. *
As a regent of the University Mr. Fisk will have an opportunity
to do more for education than has been possible in the state senate.
The judgment of Governor Walter M. Pierce has been good.
Whitman’s Song Contests
At Whitman College prizes are offered for the best song in an
annual contest. A committee is chosen 1o make the selections, which
are incorporated into a college songbook. This idea goes along with
that of Professor Timelier, in urging more songs for Oregon. Why
not have an annual contest here along the lines of that conducted at
Whitman?
Up in Portland a man was recently arrested for saying hello to
a woman. Maybe lie was an Oregon student.
Why not have an old-fashioned all-University smoker? The night
of the April Frolic would be a good time.
It is almost time to distinguish'campus politicians by their pro
fuse “hellos.”
OREGON STUDENTS WIN
SUCCESS AT PRINCETON
Physics Men Take Advanced
Work in Research
Two men from the physios depart
ment of the University have made
marks for themselves in advnneod work
at Uriueeton within the last two years,
with aid from valuable scholarships,
says l)r. W .1’. Boynton.
Arthur Branuey, who came to the
University of Oregon in the spring of
11120 from British Columbia, and attend
ed Oregon for two years, received the
experimental science fellowship of
Uriueeton last year. The scholarship
allows $700 and tuition annually. Brain
lev did wonderful work here. Dr. Boyn
ton says. During the time he was here
he seldom fell down to a 11 on the
grade sheet. One semester he made a
v record of eighteen hours of 1 and three
unregistered hours, also 1. He was a
member of the University Honor soci
ety, and has recently been elected to
Phi Beta Kappa.
Dr. A. E. Caswell of the physios de
partment spent 1920 at Princeton doing
research work. He was aided by the
national research council of the Rocke
feller Foundation. From it he received
$2000, and was allowed to ehoose the
institution at whidf'to study. He in
vestigated the electrical and magnetic!
properties of metals.
Besides these, one ex student, Marion
O’Day, is doing graduate work in phvs- i
ies at the University of California, and
is expected to get his doctorate this {
May. Donald Wilkinson, sophomore in
pre-engineering, will go there next year.
Howard Wise, graduate assistant in
the mechanics department, Dr. Boyn-i
ton said, is considered the best physics
student now tit the University, and one
of the best that has ever taken work
1 here. Wise, lie believes, would make a
good successor for Bramley at Prince
1 ton. lie will continue his studies some
! where next year.
WHITMAN COMPILES SONGS
Whitman College, Walla Walla, Feb.
til. tP. 1. N. S.)— Compilation of the
songs for the new Whitman song book

of the Women’s League and the Wake
elita society. The contest in writing
new songs will be ended March 1, and
it is hoped that with the new songs
thus obtained and with revision of some j
of the old ones, that the new book will
bo an expression of the present college i
generation without losing tiny of Whit- ■
man’s traditions. •

SAYS DR. CAMPBELL
Original and Simple Song Is
Held Beneficial
The nejd of a new Oregon song has
been arousing interest recently among
faculty anrl students and President
Campbell yesterday expressed himself
as being heartily in favor of a new
song. He is interested in having a defi
nite plan formulated for a competition
in which the campus talent will have
a chance to display itself.
The president believed that Oregon
needs a new type of song, the type
which he calls a “hymn”; something
similar to “Fair Harvard” or “Old Nas
sau,” Princeton’s song. The need is for
a song with both dignity and appeal;
a song that can be sung by a miscel
laneous group of mixed voices and does
not necessitate the working out of parts
in order to be well rendered. Songs that
have a charm makes them universally
popular give a school a certain pres
tige and distinction which is worth
while.
The songs Oregon has now are good,
excellent in their way, the president
believes, but the real necessity is for a
song of a different type, and one that
is wholly original. Several Oregon
songs are semi-steals from other school
songs, as “Mighty Oregon,” which is
similar to “Mighty Michigan.” Those
songs which are original, as the Pledge
Song which the Men’s Glee club sings,
are often too difficult to permit of
general group singing.
President Campbell is in favor of
having a competition, under the di
rection of certain members of the fac
ulty, which will stimulate interest in
the writing of a new song with origin
al words and music. The competition,
the president believes, might become
a yearly event and thus in several years
time one or two songs should be written
which would stand out as first rate
compositions. The president is anxious
to have the general student body take
an active interest in the idea of a new
Oregon song.
GIRLS PLAN PAPER CHASE
Freshman Commission Sponsors Outdoor
Event Wednesday
A paper chase is being planned by
the Freshman Commission of Y. W. for
Wednesday evening from 5:15 to 7, in
stead of the regular meeting. All fresh
man girls are urged to come, bring their
own lunches and a cup and five cents
for coffee.
The chase will start from the Bunga
low. It is planned that the girls who
are there first will be hares, and those
arriving late, the hounds.
Freshman girls living in town are
asked to sign at the Y. W. bungalow if
they can go, and Hulda Guild has
charge of the girls who can be reached
through organizations.
If it rains Wednesday, the chase will
be postponed, but the girls are asked
to bring their lunches to the Bungalow,
where coffee will be served as planned.
RESERVE CORPS GIRLS MEET
Miss Esther Dayman, who is organiz
ing a Girls’ Reserve Corps here, met
seventy girls from the University high
school and the Geary school last Satur
day afternoon. The girls played games
under the leadership of Maud Graham,
after which Miss Dayman spoke on the
ideals and purposes of the Girl Re
serves. After her talk, the girls divid
ed into four groups, each under the
