i f TD ORGANIZE TRIP IViiss Gertrude Espinosa Plans Student Summer School in Southern Europe An unusual opportunity for students, faculty members and other interested persons to study the Spanish language, customs and art in a university of Spain with native instructors, is being offered by Miss ('. Gertrude Espinosa, instructor in Spanish, who is organizing a summer tour through Spain, Italy and France, with a month of study at the University of the Pyrenees in Barcelona. Miss Espinosa announced her plans yesterday and reservations for the trip may be made at once. There is no limit set. upon the number of persons who mav be included in the party, according to Miss Espinosa. The management of the tour is under the direction of the “Intercollegiate Tours” of Boston, for which concern Miss Es pinosa is organizing the local party. The party will sail from New York .Tune 21, arriving in Paris July 1. Sev-! oral days will be spent making side trips through France before continuing to Madrid. The summer session of the i university will open July 16, running I until August 11. The courses offered will include classes in Spanish—painting, history, grammar, dancing, music and composition. All studies will be carried on in the Spanish language except for elementary students who may need as sistance in English. It is intended in this way to develop proficiency in the language. All classes will be conducted in the forenoons, Miss Espinosa says, in order that the afternoons may be devoted to sightseeing and recreation. One of the features of the entertainment program will be bathing in the Mediterannean sea, which is always a favorite with tourists. There will also be hiking and scenic trips. The Barcelona country club will be at the disposal of the tourist party, upon the payment of small incidental fees. The buildings to be used will be those of the Colegio International, an American school for girls. The college has a li brary of over 5000 volumes in English and Spanish for students ’ use. In addi tion to the summer school, there will be added educational advantages of a visit to Spain—the historic center of the old world with its wealth of romantic history , and folklore, its art, and architecture, its customs, its language and legends. The entire expenses of the tour ^are: covered by the sum of $1095, Miss Es pinosa says, with the exception of in cidental expenses. A deposit of $60 is to be placed with Miss Espinosa upon making reservations. Further informa tion may be obtained from her. EUGENE SOCIAL GROUP GIVES $1500 TO FUND Fortnightly Club Set Aside Scholarship Loan for University of Oregon Women Needing Finances The Fortnightly club of Eugene has set aside its sinking fund, amounting to $1500, as a scholarship fund for University of Oregon women, according to an announcement recently made The fund will be formally known as the Fortnightly Club scholarship loan fund for University women. The fund will be increased from time to time, it is stated. Many of the members of the club are former collegians. Some are alumnae of Oregon and others of other univer sities and colleges. The benefaction is the second for student loan purposes made within a little more than two mouths. In De cember Mrs. Alice W. Wrisley of As bury, N. J., made a $10,000 fund avail able for student loans. Although there lias been no organi zed drive, -42 persons have contributed thus far to the University of Oregon endowment campaign.

Seven persons who reside outside of Oregon are numbered among the don ors as follows: four in Washington and one each in California, New Jersey and New York. WHITTLESEY’S ARTICLE IN COLLIER’S WEEKLY Was Graduate of Oregon in Class of ’01; “One. of Finest in Univer sity,” Says Dean Straub Walter Lincoln Whittlesey-, 1901, graduate of the University of Oregon, is the author of a widely interesting series of Collier's Magazine features. In the March 13 issue of Collier’s Whit tlesey writes on “Y’uu Pay Your Tax es; Do Your Taxes Pay- You?” He says that the average man works one day each week for the government, which derives its toll from taxation. Under the title of “It Never Could Happen to Y'ou” Whittlesey has been running a collection of records of the queer turns of fate and luck and an exposition of the theory that fact is almost daily proved superior to imag ination in the creation of impish in cidents. In this series he tells this story of Oregon: “What sort of habit goes deeper and lasts longer than the skilled self con trol of a good athlete? His unthink ing instinctive readiness in meeting any emergency ? And yet thirty years : go, the strongest man in Oregon 's Willamette valley, a muscular black smith who could easily put up a 20C pound dumbbell, with one hand, dis abled his right arm and weakened it for life by pulling a lap robe over his knees as he started for a buggy ride The quick jerk with which he did it snapped an important tendon.” . Although this.Oregon writer has not yet entered the field of fiction, his friends, assured by his fluent style, believe that the step from fact to fab rication, would be a simple one if he desired to take it. •‘Walter Whittlesey,” said Dean Straub, “was one of the finest students that ever passed through the Univer sity.” While in college, Whittlesey, a mem ber of Kappa Sigma fraternity, was prominent in oratory and debate and also worked on the Emerald. He has made his home in New York for some time, holding a position with the U. S. Distributing corporation. Portland Methods Are Studied by Scott and Bovard A study of the best tennis courts in Portland will be made by Dr. John P. Bovard and Prof. Harry A. Scott, who go to Portland Saturday for this purpose. The best features of the Portland courts will be used in the building of the twenty new campus courts, the construction of which will begin in the near future. Nothing will be neglected to make these courts the very best that can bo built. Instead of the usual dirt around the courts, a thick surface of macadam will be spread. The back stops will be constructed of iron pipes set in cement, and covered with extra heavy woven wire netting. Because of the large amount of avail able space the courts will be extra large. Two of them will have a play ing surface of 60 feet by 120 feet and will be used for tournaments. Drinking fountains are to be placed at various places near the courts. Top ographical maps are being made of the two blocks surrounded by Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Emerald and Agate streets, in order to determine the grade of the ground. Where no fill is needed, work on the courts will begin at once, and it is expected that a few of them -will be ready for use by the beginning of the spring term. ALMACK TAKES DEGREE John C. Almack, formerly professor of education in the University of Ore gon extension division, has taken his doctor’s degree at Stanford University and has been offered a place on the faculty of the school of education there. VARSITY SWIMMERS MEET OiC. FRIDAY Team Enters Amateur Contest in Portland Saturday on Northern Trip The varsity swimming' team will com■ pete in two meets this week-end, one | with O. A. Friday, and the other at Portland, Saturday. The O. A. C. meet has been uncertain until a day j or two ago, as it was rumored that the meet would be postponed. The meet at Portland Saturday night will be held under the auspices of the state Amateur Athletic association. It is not definitely known who the entrants will be, but it is expected that most I of the colleges and athletic clubs of the state will be there. Multnomah club will be represented. Gerald Barnes of the physical education department, who is coaching the team, will accompany the men. The do-nut swimming meet which was originally scheduled for March 21 may have to be changed due to the proximity of the term examinations, announced .Terry Barnes, of the physi cal education department. The date was chosen, first, because of the fact that boxing had been cut out of the winter term program and only wrestling was left; second, because do-nut wrest ling and swimming, in most cases at least, conflict as to the men who par ticipate, and in the third place, Mr. : Barnes thought March 24 an appro I priate date as that week will be free I from all social events. | Kbwwery sume" opinion has been ex : pressed to Mr. Barnes to the effect that March 24 will not be an appropriate date and the physical education depart ment wishes to change the date in the J event that the majority of participants wish it. Therefore, all men who will participate in the do-nut swimming ! meet and who do not find the date, as set, satisfactory are requested to com municate with Mr. Barnes in the phys ical education office. According to Mr. Barnes, a freshman meet with the Oregon Aggie Books is practically, assured for April 13, and all frosh swimmers who have proven j themselves of sufficient, merit may turn out in the future for the regular var j -sity practices at five o’clock. Divers, j both do-nut. and frosh may receive coaching from three to five on Tues days and Thursdays by dropping into the office and notifying Mr. Barnes. Lloyd Webster, who is succeeding Jim my King in charge of the pool, will I give individual instruction to anyone at five o’clock on Mondays, Wednes days and Fridays. “MY FRIEND THE DEVIL.” HEILIG “My Friend the Devil,” is another screen classic adapted from the works of famous French authors by William Fox. The other was “Monte Cristo,” the immoral romance of Alexandre Dumas in which John Gilbert is seen a- Dantes. “My Friend the Devil,” which opens 1 a D rei'-day run at the Heilig theater today is a pictorial version of Georges ■Ohnet’s celebrated novel, “Dr. Ram eau,” which has been widely read throughout the world. " TWO MORE PHI BETA KAPPAS Mis. Margaret Bannard Goodali and | Mrs. Virginia Weaver Bacon, 1 vth ef the class of 1904, are among those ■•livt.'c, to Phi Beta Kappa by v.i,> pre lim) ary organization. Their names j wet e omitted yesterday from tun pub lisher list. Mrs. Goouall is head of the , English department in the University Align school here, and Mrs. Bacon’s | honn is in Portland. Student Body to Pay Bill In curred by Tiny Shields A balance of $215 on the- doctor bill incurred by “Tiny” Shields during sick ness with pneumonia a year ago will be paid by the associated students. This was decided at the regular meeting of the executive council last night. Al though Shields did not press the claim it was felt that since the sickness was contracted while serving on the football team on the Hawaiian trip it would be only fair to pay the remainder of the bill. A resolution of appreciation was passed and sent to George Bolder, coach of the basketball team, for the work lie lias done in coaching the varsity and freshman hoop squads during the past season. Other business included the decision to allow no advertising solicitation in connection with Junior week-end pro gram or pamphlets for Junior Vodvil, authorization of John MacGregor as of ficial representative of the students at a meeting of the Student Forum at Reed College this week-end, and the sanction of the Oregana printing con tract with the Oregon City Enterprise. It was decided to transport the Wo men’s Glee club through southern Or egon on their trip by means of a motor bus. Decision to use this means of transportation rather than the railroad was influenced by the greater conven-1 iehee and by a considerable financial consideration. The Men’s Glee club trip during spring vacation is not to include Salt Lake City as formerly planned. The granting of basketball sweaters to Ralph Couch, Earl Shafer, Russel Gownns, ITaddon Roekhey, Don Zim merman and Jack Day was authorized. Hunk Latham and Hal Chapman earned sweaters, but are not allowed to re ceive more than one sweater a year. They won sweaters in football. * HELD OVER for the WEEK-END!
