Discussion on World Topics Booked for Spring Term; Talks Before Meetings Group discussions on world topics will be conducted among the men's living organizations beginning with the spring term, if plans considered by the inter fraternity council last Wednesday even ing work out successfully. Tt is planned to carry out the work by having some faculty membor at each house for din ner, and he will give an after-dinner talk, followed by discussion on some subject selected by the students of the house. It is expected that the meetings will take place on the night of houSB meetings, and that the discussions will not last longer than half an hour. Del Oberteuffer. Yic Risely ami Bruee McConnell were named by the council as -To, committee to help in selecting the speakers and arrange schedules, by which the plan could be carried out. The idea has gone over big,^according to Ober teuffer, chairman of the committee, and is proving popular. A few, such meet ings were held during the present term to try out the plan, but in order to avoid confusion in the last few weeks of the term, it was thought advisable to leave the matter for next term’st work. Any house may not only select its own topic, but also the speaker whom it wishes to hear. Tutankhamen, Coueism, American Architecture, Modern Education, Women Jurors and psychological questions are some of the topics which have already been suggested for the discussions. Among the speakers listed are Dr. E. S. Conklin, Dean H. D. Sheldon, Dr. H. B. Torrey, Professor Justin Miller and Dean Colin Y. Dyment. “I consider the activity a very desir able things,” said Prof. Justin Miller of the law school in discussing the mat ter, adding that it was felt by some students that they spent four years at the University diligently reading the campus publications, and after gradua tion they go out into life feeling they are in a new world. It is sometimes thought that these matters ought to be taken up in the courses given at the uni veisities and colleges, according to Mr. Miller, but it must be rememberd that the academic work is built up on past work, and that too many times opinions are biased, he said. Dr. B. W. DeBusk of the school of e lo cation declared the plan to be a good way to bring the up-to-date and inter esting topics for the students to discuss, j and be a means of ! ■ 'rang ,!ew know what is happening out side the campus. SIGMA DELTA PI HEARS TALK BY LELAIIME WEST Series of Lectures in Spanish Begun; Meetings to Be Seminar in Form At the monthly meeting or isigma Delta Pi, national honorary Spanish fraternity, held on, Saturday afternoon at the Gamma Phi Beta house, the first of a series of talks on Spanish-speak ing countries was given by LeLaine West, a member of the organization. Miss West illustrated her talk, which was given in Spanish, with curios and pictures which she obtained on her visit to' Mexico last summer. These meetings are to be in the na ture of a Spanish seminar, and during the year each member of the society will be responsible for a session. These seminars are always to be conducted in Spanish, giving the members an op portunity for acquiring fluency in con versational Spanish. At the next monthly meeting, which will be held soon after the beginning of the spring term, Helen Hoefer and Marian Gillis are preparing discussions,, the subjects of which will be announced later. Sigma Delta Pi elects to membership only on the basis of a two average in Spanish and superior owrk in all other subjects. The club is composed of 13 members and has as faculty advisors, who are also members, Miss Bosalina Cuevas and Miss Florence Whyte. OREGON STUDENT PLANS TO MAKE TRIP ABROAD (Continued from page one) wanderlust became even more acute. His | desire £o see historic scenes dates from his earliest remembrance when he staged the French Revolution on a small scale I with wooden soldiers. Mow he wants to see the Basque country, book-stalls along the Seine, and the architecture of cha teaus. He has no particular interest in seeing the things that the average tour ists looks for, though, of course, he will take in the art galleries. His idea is to study the manners and customs, and give especial attention to the art of the theatre “I’ll travel on trains through the less interesting parts—apd through the Alps —one could hardly manage them on a bicycle, you know.” He takes with him a letter to Joseph Urban of New York—the man who does decoration for the Metropolitan opera, and who staged “When Knighthood Was in Flower.” He has, besides the ad dresses of Americans in the different countries. When he was eight and saw the play, “Everywoman,” he stopped designing model circuses and began to think of the stage. And now he will realize his dream of studying first-hand. tHis equipment will be the simplest— golfing trousers, crepe shirts in greys and light tans, blankets for sleeping in the open, and just the barest necessities. The bicycle lie will buy abroad. His sketch-book adds the artist to the ad venturer. “And when you return?” he was asked. “Oh, I’ll go on majoring in architec ture,” he replied with a smile. DO-NUT WRESTLING TO GET UNDER WAY TODAY Drawings Will Bo Postcl This Morning in Men’s Gym; Contestants Must Get Doctor’s Certificate Do-nut wrestling will get under way today. Drawings for the matches were made last night and the lists will be posted on the gym bulletin board this morning. It is the desire of Gerald Barnes and Coaeli Widmer, who are in charge of the matches, that the men run them off as fast as possible. Both instructors will be able to handle mat ches from 10 to 12 and from 2 to 6. “The first round,” said Mr. Barnes, “must be finished in a couple of days in order that the challenge round may be reached. We would like to run off as many matches today as possible, 15 at least. The bouts will be held in the two wrestlings rooms.” The bouts will be five minutes in length and the wrestlers must weigh in before their preliminary match. Those men failing to make the weight will be automatically eliminated from the con tests. Men making the weight will not be required to weigh in again during the progress of the matches. It is also essential that the contest ants get a doctor’s certificate before they engage in a match. Men who have passed the physical education test are eligible, but to date only one cer tificate has been turned in and the men must turn them in to coaches at the time of weighing. The contests will be dispatched with as much speed as possible so that the final bouts may be held Friday, March 23. GYM STAFF ATTENDS MEET Women’s Physical Education Confer ence Held in Portland Last Week The annual women’s physical educa tion conference held in Portland last week-end was attended by the staff of the physical education department of the University and several majors in the department. Grade schools and high schools were visited to view the various types of work carried on by the public schools.

Alden, head of the physical education department, partici pated in the program at the banquet held in the Turnverein club house, giv ing a review of “Organization and Ad ministration of Physical Education,” by Jesse Williams. The convention was attended by ap proximately one hundred persons, all of whom were in some way connected with physical education work. The next con vention will be held in Eugene in May. ‘ HOOT” GIBSON AT HEILIG just a dumb-bell American dough boy blundering through Europe in coun tries whose language lie doesn’t savvy, but oh, what a riot 'lie stirs up!

The low s&Qres of both teams is ac counted for by the extreme cold, which made accurate shooting difficult.
