Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIV. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1923 NUMBER 111 CLASS TRACKMEN READY FOR RELAY MEET ON HAYWARD Five Events on Program; Good , Time Made by Athletes in Trials During Week JUNIORS LACK MATERIAL Senior Aggregation Strong; Contests Will Be Run Off in Record Time The class runners are set for the races this afternoon and will be present, near ly eighty of them, at 2:30 o’clock on Hayward field to burn up the cinders in the interclass relays. What Bill wants now is a big crowd out to watch the competition, which he says ought to furnish more than one thrill even if no new records are hung up. Time kept on the men in the tryouts j this week indicate that the teams are about evenly matched . That is all ex cept the juniors, who seem able to scrape up only one team, but they may blossom out with some new ones this afternoon. The seniors have been able to get together five more or less form idable relay teams by using most of the men twice and some three times. Most of these are wearers of the “O” and probably hold a slight advantage over members of the other classes. The frosh and sophs have a great abundance of material to pick their teams from. Spectators who turn out will see prac tically all of the cinder artists in ac tion who are to represent Oregon in the collegiate meets in the spring term. Five Relays Scheduled There are to be five separate relays, the quarter mile, the half mile, the mile, the two mile, and the four mile. In the quarter mile each man will run 110 yards; in the half mile 220 yards each; in the mile 440 yards each; in the two mile 880 yards each, and in the four mile a mile each. This schedule gives every runner a try in his own event from the hundred yard dash men to the milers. Senior Team Strong Among the senior ranks will be found Glenn Walkley, Guy Koepp, “Speed” Peltier, Arthur Larson, Del Oberteuf-, fer, Art Bosebraugh and Floyd Bowles, all of them having at least one Lemon Yellow stripe around his sleeve, and some of them three. And among the underclassmen are the potential let ter bearers of the future. Bill Hayward urges all who possibly can to come out and exhibit an interest in Oregon athletics. The races will be run off with all possible dispatch, and will be full of keen competition. NEW MONITOR IS READY — Extension Publication Is for Benefit of Correspondence Students The Extension Monitor, a publication edited by Miss Mozelle Hair, secretary of the extension division for corres pondence students of the University, is to be out within a few days. The Monitor carries stories of encour agement and interest, and announce ments of coming lectures, to thousands of students who are doing correspon dence work from their own homes, many of these being in out-of-the-way spots widely scattered over the state. The doctrine preached by this mag azine is, “if you can’t come to the Uni versity, the University will come to you.” Many students who for various reasons can not come to the campus for their instruction are studying and work ing toward a degree, under the super vision of the extension division. To them the University is the “University of the evening lamp”; “The University of the two-cent stamp.” More than four thousand received instruction in night classes and by correspondence during the year of 1922. !cure for poison i OAK IS RECEIVED ! DOCTORS SAY RESULTS OF NEW TREATMENT SUCCESSFUL I Health Service Obtains Curative and Preventative Solutions; Cost of Sacli Is One Dollar Students who are susceptible to poi son oak now have an opportunity to avoid it altogether, or to be relieved more promptly after contracting it, by the curative and preventative prophy laxis which has recently been received by the University health service. While there can be no certainty of a cure being effected through the use of these solutions, Eugene physicians, who have given the treatments, are satisfied with the results, said Dr. W. K. Living ston of the health service. The Broem mel pharmacy of San Francisco, which puts up the preparations, has a record of over two hundred cases which have been treated with considerable success. Twelve University students have taken the treatments with varying degrees of success. The preventative treatment, which ordinarily gives immunity for one sea son. is begun by taking the medicine in fifteen-drop doses after each meal. These doses are gradually increased un til twenty drops are being taken and this is continued until the medicine is used. The curative treatment consists of intermuscular injections of the al coholic extract, which are repeated in 12 or 24 hours if the first injections have not brought relief. The fee for the preventative and curative treat ments is $1 each. The health service also has a wash which is used with success in cases of poison oak. “The fact that the leaves are not out on the poison oak and consequently it is more difficult to recognize than later in the season makes the disease one that is apt to be more readily con tracted at this time of the year,” said Dr. Livingston, “but it is no more dan gerous, nor prevalent now than at any j other time.” OREGON MEN TO ATTEND GEOLOGIST CONFERENCE l New Plan of Classifying Rock Proposed by Dr. Hodge Doctors E. L. Packard and Edwin T. Hodge of the geology department will be fepresentatives from the University of Oregon at a meeting of geologists held at Berkeley. California on Mareji 17. The men plan to leave for the con ference of scientists Wednesday. Dr. Hodge will present a plan of classifying igneous rocks that will rev olutionize the present system if his plan is adopted. All the present known igneous rocks will be classified and pro vide a means by which all future rocks that may be discovered may be cata logued. Hitherto rocks have been ar ranged according to their qualitative value. Under the proposed system, the classification will be strictly quantita tive. The present plan has admitted irrgularities and inconsistencies. There is a lack of natural relationships be tween various classes of rocks. Dr. Hodge suggests a method by which the groups will be arranged in natural or der. The relationship can be traced from one rock to another, eliminating the gaps that exist! Dr. Packard will deliver a paper on “Flippr of a Pre-Historie Quail.” Sev eral years ago he found such a quail oil' the coast of Oregon. With great difficulty, he reconstructed the paddle : of the animal. With his model, he will ! trace the development of the quail. The animal wras once a land creature and has adapted itself to marine life. Dr. Packard is president of the Paci fic Coast Paleontologists ’ society. He plans to return after the adjournment of the conference. Dr. Hodge will ex tend his trip for a week. He will visit the geology departments at University of Southern California, Stanford Uni versity and University of California, examining the equipment and studying the work that these universities are do ing. Thrills of Sea-Faring Lite Are Offered to Encourage Recruits Avast heavin What has become of those hardy sons of Neptune who rush ed to the call of Robert Lane for a sail boat excursion around the globe? Where are the doughty half-dozen who would brave the terrors of the seven seas in an open boat? Step up and hand vour names to the organizer if you have not done so. You are jtbout to embark on the great ad venture of your lifetime. Navigating the billowy deep is more hazardous than marriage. Man knows the dang ers and pitfalls, pummelings and cares of the matrimonial venture, but on the sea he knows not what is in his path, but that is where the kick enters the plot. What is more thrilling than a life on the bounding main, with the wind ■ blowing through your shaggy mane and the salt spray dashing over and knock- j ing you for' a goal on the slippery deck? What is more fun than rattling up the riggin’ in the teeth of a howling sou ’wester and getting out on the yards reef in the fore-top-gallant-sail, with your lingers bleeding and every bone aching? There is nothing more thrill ing; nothing. Can’t you sniff the salt air and the (Continued on page three.) OREGON RIFLEMEN TIE TWO PUCES Second and Eighth Positions Won in Telegraphic Meet of Ninth Corps Area BUCHANAN IS HIGH MAN Scores 559 Out of Possible 600; Matches With Aggies at Corvallis Today The University of Oregon rifle teams won fourth and eighth place in the Ninth Corps Area rifle match recent ly, according to word received by the military department. The teams seored 5368, and 5240 out of a possible 6000. O. A. C. with scores of 5637 and 5492 took first and second place, and the University of Nevada ranked third with 5418. The O. A. C. third team, scoring 5414, took fourth place. Sixth place was taken by the University of Washington squad, with a mark of 5366 and Washington State College made 5353, taking seventh place. These eight teams have been selected out of 28 entries in the Ninth Corps Area to represent this district in the national telegraphic meet, which will be held sometime before May 15. “Although we failed to win the meet,” says Lieutenant M. E. Knowles, in charge of rifle work, “I am very well satisfied with the results. It is quite a distinction for Oregon to place two teams in the eight which are to represent the Ninth Corps Area in the national meet. Scores of the team members are constantly improving, and I am very optimistic, over the outcome of the national event.” Buchanan High Man High individual score for Oregon was made by William E. Buchanan, who made 559. Lyle Nosier scored 553 and Sherman W. Smith 549. These scores are computed on a basis of 600. In the sitting position Thomas Page scored 99 out of a possible 100, and Buchanan made 95 in the standing position. Scores made by the first team follow: W. E. Buchanan, 559 out of a possible 600; Lyle Nosier, 553; T. N. Page, 548; Joe Peak, 546; Bupert Gilbert, 543; W. 0. Haydon, 528; Ed Britts, 525; L. B. Blackney. 524; John M. Larson, 522; and Carrol Ford, 520. Meet O. A. C. Today The competition scheduled with O. A. C. at Corvallis today will be participat ed in by the following men from Ore gon: W. N. Aikan, W. E.

MISS EDGINGTON SPEAKS Theta Sigma Phi Has Open Meeting for Women Journalists The local chapter of Theta Sigma Phi, national journalism fraternity for women, was hostess on Thursday eve ning at an open meeting, held in Miss Grace Edgington’s apartments in the Woman’s building. The program for the evening consist ed of a talk by Miss Edgington on her experiences during the trip which she took last summer to universities and colleges in all parts of the United States as national organizer of Theta Sigma Phi. Miss Edgington gave a graphic des cription of the journalism departments in eastern and southern universities and particularly of the part that wo men take as journalists in the eastern part of the country. The students of the east, she said, were very much impressed to find that there was a school of journalism in the west of the nature of Oregon’s. “As arule,” said Miss Edgington, “Or egon compared most favorably with all of the schools which I visited though they were in most cases, two and three times as large.” MRS. COMBE VISITS CAMPUS Mrs. Charles E. Combe, of Harris burg, Illinois, national visitor for the Alpha Xi Delta women’s fraternity, is a guest at the local chapter house. Mrs. Combe arrived in Eugene last Thurs day evening and will leave Monday for Corvallis to visit the O. 4- C. chapter. Tomorrow from 3 to 6 o’clock the mem bers of the Alpha Xi Delta will hold a tea for Mrs. Combe at their home on East Thirteenth street. Unique Job in Diamond Mine Awaits Oregon Man Claire Holdredge, ’21, Now Enroute to Central Africa to Take Assistant Engineering Position in Volcanic Cone Two months travel on land and water, a 1000-mile voyage up the Congo river into the heart of Africa, then work as an assistant engineer in a dia mond mine located in a volcano cone— this is the adventure which awaits Claire Holdredge, member of the class of ’21 and an assistant in the geology department last year. Holdredge, who has been employed by the Edison Power company in nor thern California during the past nine months, is already on his way to Af rica and according to Dr. Edwin T. Hodge, of the geology department, he will be in New York this week-end on the first lap of his journey to the “dark continent.” From New York, Hold rege will go to Liverpool, then to Brus sels, Belgium, where he will hold a conference with the owners of the min ing company, the Ste Internationale Forestiere et Miniere du Congo, said to be one of the largest mining incorpor ations in the world. From Antwerp, Holdrege will embark for the western coast of Africa, and will then go by steamer some lt)00 miles up the Congo. After leaving the steamer the Oregon graduate will go overland into Portu guese West Africa, where the diamond mines are located. I According to members of the geology j department, the country into wlrich | Holdrege is going is not a fever-infest j ed territory, but is a beautiful region high above the sea level—so high in tact that tin* tropical temperature of central Africa gives way to the refresh ing coolness of the temperate zones. It is the belief of Dr. Hodge that the diamond mines in which Holdredge will be employed as an assistant engineer are located in the neck of decayed rock in the cones of former volcanoes. The Ste Internationale company has been doing some extensive prospecting in the Congo region in recent years and has iinally discovered a productive region. The plots of some of Stewart Edward White 's novels are laid in this part of Africa where Holdredge will arrive dur ing the first part of May. Dr. Hodge pointed out the fact that this territory was a “blackman’s country,” but the negroes are far more servile than the southern blacks of the United States. “It is likely that Holdredge will have about six husky blacks acting as his personal bodyguard and servants at all times,” humorously remarked Dr. Hodge when telling of the adventure which awaited the Oregon man. Dr. Hodge was instrumental in securing the position for Holdredge. MEDICAL SCHOOL HEAD CIS RADIO LECTURE Dr. Dillehunt Speaks on Work Accomplished by Science The work which is being (lone at the University of Oregon medical school at Portland in the prevention of dis ease and the education of the medical student as explained by Dr. Richard Dillehunt, dean of the school, speaking to the radio world on “The Object and Trend of Modern Medicine.” This was the sixth regular extension division broadcast given from the Oregonian broadcasting station, KGW. The trans mitting was received last night on the Westinghouse receiving set of Edward Robbins at Friendly hall. The lecture came in perfectly, the usual static and code interference be ing absent. So clear did it come in, that the speaker ’s voice could be heard distinctly when the ear phones were held three feet away. “Medical science developed yaccina tion and a cure for dyptheria. It has put a stamp on typhoid fever, has made yellow fever practically extinct, and has accomplished thousands of oth er such miracles through the research laboratory.” said Dr. Dillehunt. “Be cause of the yellow fever, France had to give up work on the Panama canal and ceded the project to the United States for a small sum. The govern ment research laboratories went to work on the situation and discovered that the mosquito was the germ bearer of the yellow fever. Immediate steps were taken to stamp out the mosquitos in the canal zone and the result was the practical abolishment of fever and the completion of the canal was accom plished.” “Of the 160 medical schools in the United States, the Oregon medical school ranks among the 12 best,” ex claimed the speaker. “The institution was placed as the best in the western states.” A brief outline of the course of study required in the medical course was given by Dr. Dillehunt. “We aim to turn out few and efficient doctors,” ho said. MISS TINGLE IS HOSTESS Dainty Luncheon Given for Visitors from Illinois College Thursday In honor of Dr. and Mrs. C. H.

GALA [VENT FDR WOMEN TO BE STAGEO APRIL 14 Annual Frolic Is Colorful Event; No Men Wanted Plans for the annual April Frolic, an event at which all the women of the University are the sole, participants each year, are now beii%' 'worked out. At a meeting of Women’s League exe cutive council held Thursday night com mittee chairmen were appointed, and plans for making this year’s April Frol ic one to far exceed all others in clever ness and originality were made. Last year half the women’s houses put on the stunts, every other one on the alphabetical list being chosen. This year the other half are to put on the stunts, while the others look on. An excellent orchestra will furnish music for dancing between each stunt, eats will be sold, and of course the costumes, which always are the chief considera tion, are already being planned, and it is rumored that there will be even a more varied display than ever. No men, either. This is the one time of the year when the co-eds are free and independent individuals, throwing convention to the winds, and appearing in regalia of every sort and description. There will be gallant swains, and milk maids, gypsies, troubadours, old-fash ioned ladies, and all the story-book characters. April 14 is the date; one week after the new term begins. Immediately upon returning to school the co-eds will begin work on April Frolic, and will not be bothered until midnight Satur day which ends the gala occasion. Many guests will be down to spend the week end and will be initiated into the do ings of college women when they are “out for a good time.” As usual, wo men are concerned, they will have to cony, and the usual number of women .judges will be present, but as far as men arc concerned, they will have to seek other diversion for tho evening. The following committee chairmen have been appointed by l’eg Beatty, general chairman of the event; pro grams, Inez Fairchild; floor manager, Muriel Meyers; food, Mary Skinner; music, Madge Calkins; stage manager, Hnlda Chase. DOUGLASS HAS LISTS The religious anil moral activity com mittee of the University of Oregon to gether with the library have provided lists of important books in the iield of religion for students and others in terested in Religious Hook Week, March 4 to 10. At the request of the com mittee, M. H. Douglass, librarian, wrote to a number of leading clergymen ask ing them to submit lists of books they would particularly recommend to the undergraduate. These lists may be ob tained from Mr. Douglass. PAN XENIA PLEDGES 10 MEN Pan-Xenia, honorary international foreign trade fraternity announces the pledging of the following men: Ruther ford A. Brown, Max Schafer, B. Verne Dudley, Edd Haney, 8. Harold Evans. Edgar D. Blood was pledged to asso ' ciate membership. Initiation will be held later in the month. First Out-of-State Concert in 11 Years Is Scheduled by Organization PLANS ARE NEAR FINISH Numerous Appearances Are Arranged for Spring Tour of Singers For the first time in 11 years a Uni versity organization will give an out of-state concert, when the Men’s Glee club on its spring vacation trip ap pears in Caldwell, Idaho, on April 6. The organization will sing in Nampa, Idaho, on the following night. Plans for the glee club trip are pro gressing rapidly and are practically completed, according to an announce ment made yesterday by Jimmie Meek, manager of the club. „ Cancellation of the contract for tke appearance of the organization in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Ogden, Utah, will cut short the southern part of the trip. Appearances will be made in towns in Idaho and Oregon. The first concert will bo given in Hood Eiver, Saturday, March 30. Appearances Are Many This will be followed by appearances in Tho' Dalles, April 2; Pendleton, April 3; La Grande, April 4; Baker, April 5; Caldwell, Idaho, April 6; Nampa, Idaho, April 7. The club is to return to Port land the following Sunday, and will sing there Monday, April 9; one per formance will be given in Salem, April 10, and the club is to return to the campus the following day. About 21 of the club members will make the trip and the manager has been able to obtain a special ear for their conveyance. This will not entail any additional expense, and will facil itate transportation for the club. Great Interest Shown “A great deal of interest is being shown in the trip of the club this year,” Meek said, “because it is the first time since 1912 that any organization has been allowed to give a recital or con cert outside the state. It was in 1912 that the Men’s Glee club, went to Boise. “The support of the alumni was as sured the manager when he made the pre-concert trip during Christmas vaca tion. Everyone is actively interested in having the men make this tour, and the people in these cities are anxious to meet men from the coast,” Meek said. Evans Will Make Trip John Stark Evans, director of both the Men’s and Women’s Glee clubs, will make the trip with the men; he lias arranged different programs for each performance, and a number of new songs have been worked up.

REUNION WILL BE IN JUNE Early Students in University Asked to Return to Campus Extensive plans are being prepared by Daniel W. Bass of the class of ’85, to bring back old students, whether I graduates or not, who attended the University from its beginning until I 1890, to a reunion which is being held ! on tiie University campus, the week end | of June 27, 1923. “Whenever we are able to find the addresses,” says Dean Straub, who is ! assisting in the preparations, “cards I and circulars will be sent them and it i is hoped that all those who do not receive these cards, but who hear of ! this will feel themselves invited to I come to this reunion.” Dean Straub especially asks that the newspapers of the state will give public ity to this, the first reunion of old students. The program is in the hands of Mr. Bass, whose address is care of Hotel Frye, Seattle, and to whom all commun ications should be addressed.
