Pro-j fessor Ward is to give the commence-'] ment address at the University and ; Dean Ellery the baccalaureate sermon.! Three committees were appointed at the meeting last night by Dr. Caswell, one to arrange for the itinerary of Dean Ellery and Professor Ward, an other to elect membership to the society from the present senior class, and a third to arrange installation ceremon ies. Prof. H. B. Yocum, Prof. W. D. Smith and Dr. Caswell are members of the itinerary committee; Prof. E. L. Packard, Prof. O. F. Stafford, Dr. H. B. Torrey, Dr. E. S. Conklin, and Prof. A. C. McAlister will act as the commit tee of electors; and Dean John Bovard, Dr. Caswell and Prof. E. L. Packard, will arrange for installation ceremonies. Sigma Xi was granted to the Univer sity of Oregon at the national con vention of the society held jointly at the Harvard and Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology last December, by a unanimous vote. Membership in the society is granted to faculty members and graduate students who have shown unusual ability in original research in scientific work. The securing of the charter for the University is considered one of the great honors bestowed on the institution and is a recognition of the University’s scholarship and scientific accomplishments. FORMER STUDENT HELD UP Two Bobbers Enter Jewelry Store and Bind Miss Mildred Hall Mildred Hall, former Oregon student and a major in the school of journalism, was ono of the four persons bound by two robbers who held up the G. Cramer jewolors in Portland Monday aftornoon. The Oregonian carriod a long story on the hold-up and in part said this of , Miss Hall: “Approached with the twine, Miss ( Hall, an attractive type of collogo girl, a former student at the University of Oregon, demurred and smiled as she did it. Marauders though they were, the pair relented and bound her hands be hind her in her swivel chair, whore she was sitting with a bag of loose dia monds in her hand cheeking over the stock book when they entered.” FIVE GIRLS WILL HIKE Cooa Bay Macca of Hendricks Hall Oo Eds Taking 150 Mile Jaunt Five Hendricks hall girls are plan ning to hike to Coos bay to spend tho spring vacation, if weather conditions permit.

HIGH SCHOOLS END RIVALRY The intense rivalry between the Eu gene high school and the University high school was closed last week by the game played to decide the district ■ championship in basketball. Preceding the game, 1’. H. S. students painted the white E on Skinner's butte so that it resembled a green O. The Eugene high students attempted to paint the U. H. S. building. They were apprehended by a night watchman. One of the boys struck the officer accidentally, and was fined $100. Good sportsmanship was shown on both sides, as the students have clubbed together to pay the boy’s fine. CLASSIFIED ADS Minimum charge. 1 time, 26o ; 2 timea. J 45c; 5 timet, $1.

Salvi is heir to the highest Italian talent, indefatigable in his labor, and increasingly interna tional in his reputation. He has been called “the Prince of Musicians,” “the God of the Harp.” STUDENTS NOW KEEPING BANK ACCOUNTS BETTER Carelessness in Overdrawing Decreases 50 Per Cent, Says Dean Straub; Wrong-Doing Not Intended Student carelessness in overdrawing their bank accounts lias diminished jreatly since last October, according to Dr. John Straub, who issued a state ment for the student advisory commit tee recently. The decrease in “N. S. F.” checks in the short space of five months has been perhaps as high as 50 or 75 per cent, said Dr. Straub. Dr. Straub thinks the decrease is due to a realization by students in general that “N. S. F.” checks are a •eflection upon the University as well is upon the guilty student, and that lie credit of students with business men lowntown is injured greatly thereby. 1'he student advisory (discipline) com mittee has twice issued warnings igainst this form of financial careless iess, and in December began summon ng students who had been reported by ;ho banks as having overdrawn ac ■ounts. Almost all such students easily con zinced the committee that they had in tended no wrong-doing, and all agreed o keop their check stubs accurately mbtracted. Some of the returned ■hecks were due to improper subtrac tions, some to the practice of writing ■ounter checks, some to failure to keep itubs at all, some to sheer indifference, tnd some to the failure of expected re nittances to arrive. “Regardless of the cause,” said Dr. itraub, “the issuing of bad checks is lot only an offense against ethics in msinoss, but also against the law. In nitsido business life, makers of bad hecks aro speedily blacklisted, even if they do not ond up in the penitentiary. Downtown business men have never made it a practice to complain to the luthorities against students, however, ind as a result of that liberal attitude, they have suffered much imposition. “The committee will continue to suin non students whose checks are not rood, and would be glad if the Emerald would issue a new warning to all men and women to be careful in money matters.” SIMPLE LIBRETTOS SOUGHT Publishers Asking Aid of English Department to Find Texts Suitable librettos for small operettas that may be used by little children in the public schools, and the lower grades by girls of high school age and boys in the upper grades and high schools, are being sought by the C. C. Birchard Co., Boston, Mass., who have asked the aid of the Englisli department of the Uni versity in their search. Students in music, drama and literature may find it interesting to try writing a libretto. “A libretto,” says Mrs. Anna Lands bury Beck, of the school of music, “con sists of the drama, verse and lyries for light opera.” Mrs. Beck is famil iar with the C. C; Birchard company’s productions and has various librettos publislid by them on file in her office. STAFFORD TO GIVE TALK Forest By-Products Subject Tonight; Bound Table Meets at Osbum Forest by-products will be the sub ject of the talk given by Prof. O. F. Stafford, of the chemistry department, before the Round Table club at the Osburn hotel tonight. The value of paper and various chemical products which are obtainable from wood, will be discussed by the speaker. Dr. E. T. Hodge, who was to have de livered the address tonight, has been callod to California, and consequently Professor Stafford’s talk, which was to be given at the June meeting, was mov ed forward to fill the vacancy. PAINTINGS TO BE SHOWN Nearly JOG water-color pictures of Oregon wild flowers painted by Mrs. A. R. Sweetser will be shown at the Central library in Portland, beginning March 31. This collection will repre sent the University of Oregon exten sion division and is an annual event held in connection with the exhibition of the Oregon Audubon society. pi\\Sordon ■fj i . il.mlk an Arrows h i rt of a better oxford, in a line, tailor-like way.

D’COU 20 New Courts Will Enhance Summer Sessions mer session of school since the move ment was started for the construction of the new tennis courts, is the opinion of Professor E. E. DeCou, head of the mathematics department, and a believer in sports. He has been chairman of the intramural sports committee since its creation six years ago. “If the present plans go through and the 20 new courts are built, tennis will be the greatest element in the recreational side of the summer sessions,” he declared yester day, and added that he considered the recreational side of great importance to the summer sessions. He said that if the University gets the proposed courts it will surpass any place on the Pacific coast in tennis facilities. In his capacity of chairman of the intramural athletics committee, Profes sor DeCou has been actively interested in athletics for several years. He out lined the work done by the committee to further athletics. This included the obtaining of the men’s outdoor gym and the women’s outdoor gym which burned last summer. At present the committee is helping the physical edu cation department in planning and working on the proposed courts. The use of the courts will not be confined to students, said Professor De Cou. Faculty members were constant frequenters of the courts during last season. In fact, he said, the faculty men are taking a much greater inter est, in all forms of athletics now than lever before. “Probably fifty members take some kind of exercise regularly,” he declared. U. H. S. QUINTET CHAMPIONS By virtue of their 31-15 victory over the Scio basketball quintet Monday night in the men’s gym, the University high school team is winner of the dis | trict championship, and will journey to | Salem Thursday to play for the state | championship. The game with Scio was j not scheduled until a few days ago, j but since the Scio team had never been defeated, they had to be taken on if the campus team was to win the title unchallenged. The game was slow, the U. H. S. team leading throughout. The first half ended with a 17-4 score in their favor. CHARLIE CHAPLIN AT REX Charles Chaplin’s art as a pantomin ist is revealed at its best in “The Pil grim,” the First National feature com edy that will bring tears of laughter A at the Bex theater where it starts today. One of the most notable exhibitions of his peculiar ability is his rendering of the story of David and Goliath when, as an escaped convict who has donned a minister’s clothing, he is forced into the pulpit. The impromptu sermon is vividly il lustrated and delivered without the aid of a subtitle, but though a boy ap plauds vigorously, and Chaplin takes an encore, the rest of the congregation is not favorably impressed.

IN fiction and the movies all college men natu rally fall into two groups. Those who pass their days and nights “Rah! Rah!“-ing and snake-dancing; and those who never appear except with evening clothes—and cane. The man who works his way through college simply doesn't figure. Taking care of a furnace, running a laundry, waiting on table, tutoring, covering for a city paper, working in shop or office in vacation— all this may be lacking in romantic appeal, but it is an essential part of the college picture. And a valuable part. The whole college is the gainer for the earnestness of men who want their education that hard. Valuable to the college, but even more to the men who travel this rough going. They learn an important lesson in Applied Economics— the amount of sweat a ten dollar bill represents. If you are one of them you may sometimes feel that you are missing a good deal of worth while college life. If you are not, you may be missing a good deal, too.
