Oregon Daily Emerm o VOLUME XXIV. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. THURSDAY, APRIL 10. 1923 NUMBER 132 “THEWIflJESTYOF THE LAW" TO BE ASSEMBLY TOPIC President E. 0. Holland, Wash ington State College, Will Discuss Problem VICE IS TERMED HABIT Foreign Criticism of American Disregard for Statutes Will Be Shown The common disregard for law which has come to be called one of America’s greatest vices by observing foreigners, will form the topic of the assembly ad dress today to be given by Dr. E. O. Holland president of Washington State College. The timeliness of Dr. Hol land's subject is sure to win for him an interested audience, according to the President’s office since this is a question which is occupying the atten tion of many scholars and welfare workers of the country who find the drastic results of too frequent heedless ness of the laws which the Americans make for themselves. The asembly will be held in Villard hall and will be opened by an overture given by the University Orchestra under the direc tion of Rex Underwood. Speaker Visits Before Dr. Holland will appear on the Ore gon campus for the second time when he reaches here today. He was a visi tor at the time of the Washington State-Oregon game last November dur ing Homecoming celebration. He will be welcomed as a representative of an institution with which Oregon has al ways maintained most friendly rela tions, according to President P. L. Campbell. The visitor comes to Eugene today after addressing a student convo cation at O. A. C. yesterday. Dr. Hol land will also speak to the educational seminar this evenng in 'the Education building. During his brief stay on the campus he will be the guest of Presi dent Campbell. Little is known in advance of the method of treatment which Dr. Hol land will give his subject, “The Ma jesty of the Law.” It is a theme which is being widely discussed in this coun try today and it is evidently an object of surprise to all strangers in this country that while the American people have such great freedom in making their own laws they neverthless refuse to respect their own statutes and law enforcement. Attitude Toward Law Studied So much for the accusation made by outsiders and whether the speaker will uphold the American atti tude, or give a warning if he believes that one is needed, his audience will learn this morning. Since he is closely in touch with the citizens of the fu ture in his work among a large group of college students Dr. Holland is famil iar with the attitude of the new gen eration towards law, and his conclu sions concerning it will be of interest to students as well as administrators on the campus. JOURNALISTS NAME OFFICERS Annual election of officers was held yesterday by Sigma Delta Chi, national journalism fraternity, in the meeting held at the Anchorage. Edwin Fraser will serve as president of the organi zation next year. John Piper was elected vice-president and Clinton How ard was named secretary-treasurer. Kenneth Youel is retiring president of the journalism group. Another impor tant meeting of the organization is to be held next Tuesday evening in the journalism “shack.” ELECTION ANNOUNCED Ye Tabard Inn of Sigma Upsilon elects Lawrence Hartmus of Portland. Y. W. MAKES PLEA FOR OLD CLOTHES Students Urged to Dig Up Cast-off Garments Lots of people want lots of things like Pieree-Arrows or bank accounts, or stu dent body offices or I’s, and as often as not they are a little hard to get. But at last an organization has come to the fore with a brand new kind of a want. Not an Easter bonnet or drag with a professor, but . . . Old Clothes. “Now that’s what I haven’t got nothing else but,” says the large cross section of the public. So it ought to be a relatively easy thing for the Y. W. and the Y. M., for they are the modest in quirers, to gather any amount of cast off, because they aren’t wearing them in Portland any longer clothes. They are still wearing them in Russia no matter what they are. If they are a little out of style, if the color has faded a little in the Oregon sun, if the owner has wear ied a little of the polka-dots or the stripes, or the ruffles, the Y. M. and the Y. W. will be grateful to relieve already crowded houses of offending outfits. Now is the time to help the Russians and knock dad for a row of summer hats to take the place of the old ones. Any thing is desirable, all sizes and types of clothing and for the next few days all roads lead to the Y. W. IMEN’SlBlifEDSTE CHANGED TO APRIL 26 Two Freshmen on Team Which Meets Washington The Oregon-Wasliington women’s dual debate, scheduled for Tuesday, April 24, has been postponed until Thursday night, April 26. The change was made because of a conflict in dates at the University of Washington on April 24. The University will be represented by two strong teams at this contest, says Prof. C. D. Thorpe, coach. The question is “Resolved that a constitu tional amendment should be enacted giving Congress the power to regulate marriage and divorce.” May Fenno and Eugenia Strickland make up the Oregon negative team which will go to Seattle to meet the Washington af firmative. This is Miss Fenno’s sec ond year as a member of the Varsity team, and also her last. She is consid ered by coaches as an unusually good, all-around debater, and capable of put ting up a very forcible argument. Mis3 Strickland is attending the University for her first year, but she took an active part in the do-nut debate series last fall, and is doing good work on the Varsity squad. Both Mildred Bateman and Margaret Woodson have the distinction of having made the team in their freshman year. They compose the Oregon affirmative team which will meet the Washington negative here at Eugene. They are doing excellent work, Mr. Thorpe says. COURsI OPEN TO PREPPERS University High Will Hold Summer School for Elementary Grades The application of practice to theory will be supplied this summer when the University High School will hold a sum mer school for children who have pas sed the eighth and ninth grades. Three teachers, Mrs. G. O. Goodall, Mr. El bert Hoskins and Mr. E. S. Dickerson, respective heads of the high school En glish, science, and history departments, will give lectures in the University summer school on methods of teach ing in their particular line. A demon stration class of high school students will be held by each of the teachers to show the theories expounded in the University classes. These grades of high school students were judged to be the most typical of high school classes, and consequently were chosen for the summer work. Seniors and Sophomores to Trip Light Fantastic Friday Night Friday night the Sophomores will jig at Dreamland and the Seniors will caper on the maple in the men’s gym iVhat the other classes will do is hard to fathom. The freshmen may throw a fit instead of an assortment of ankle cracking antics. The juniors have done many weird things since they lave been here, so the sky is the limit. If they don't have dances of their own, they will probably attend the others via the balcony and sit there and glower at the fortunate ones down below, who flit about as if they were in the seventh heaven. The sophomore dance is appropriate for this time of year when the herbage is busting out in new raiment, when we smell the fragrance of the soil and so on. The fourth year sheiks and sheik esses haven’t given their tripping act a name, to date. It will probably be the conventional roughneck variety, where a trick bat and a black Jack take the place of corsages. It is rumored that the slicker expo nents of the terpsichorean art are out to riddle the world’s marathon dance record. * Good point. The Pacific coast might just as well have another championship as not. The last was 69 hours and between now and the night it will probably be in the neighborhood of 85 hours. Some of these so called porch pifflers ought to break out a pair of iron-rim med trench shoes and thump the boards for a new mark. It is also rumored that an elongated miler, the best Ore gon ever had, thinks that he could ring j up a new number, so the dances may be interesting. If the frosh and the juniors would i come to life and put on shuffling par ties, the night would be a crowning success. RELAY ASPIRANTS WILL RUN IN FINAL TRYOUT SATURDAY Results To Determine Oregon Sprinters In Washington Field Carnival FOUR LETTERMEN IN RACE Those for Half-mile and Mile Teams Are Held To Be In Good Condition The final tryouts wliieli will deter mine Oregon’s entrants in the Relay carnival to bo held at the University of Washington, April 28, will be held next Saturday afternoon at 2:30. The events which will be run off in the com petition are the 220 and 440, but there will be unofficial competition in other events. Oregon will enter teams in the mile and half-mile relay" at Seattle. The mile relay team will be picked from the 440 yard men and the half-mile from the 220 yard sprinters. Former Sprinters To Run In the 440 class, the varsity has two lettermen in Risley and Rosebraugh, while the other aspirants, Covalt, Har denberg, and Carruthers, are stellar performers of the freshman teams of past years. These men are all in good condition and Saturday’s tryouts, with a trip to Seattle in view for the win ners, should bring out some gdod races. In the 220, Captain Ole Larson, Del Oberteuffer, and Don Breakey are get ting in some good licks. Risley and Hardenberg are working in the 220 as well as the 440. Larson and Oberteuf fer have both won their letters in the sprints while Hardenberg and Breakey are numeral men from last year’s fresh man team. Other Events Scheduled In addition to this there will be var sity and freshman competition in the other events next Saturday. “The re sults of the freshmen tryouts will not determine much,” says Bill Hayward, “but they will give me a basis on which to judge the best men for the Colum bia Indoor Meet which will be held in Portland May 5.” RALPH CASEY WRITES ARTICLES ON COLLEGES Growth of Institutions in Oregon, Mon tana and Washington Described by Journalism Professor “Fine Schools in the Pacific North west,” an article in the 1923 “Far Western Travelers’ Annual,” was writ ten by Ralph D. Casey of the school of journalism. “Washington, Oregon and Montana may claim to rank among the most pro gressive states on the basis of the rapid advancement made in education in re cent years,” says Mr. Casey regarding the schools of the three states. Wash ington, he says, was the first to estab lish a state university, while Oregon depended upon denominational schools, of which there were 28 in 1880. Mr. Casey describes the beginning and development of the separate schools, and how they were started. The University of Washington, after a discussion as to location, was founded in Seattle on ten acres, eight of which were donated by A. A. Denny, an early pioneer of Washington. The Univer sity of Oregon was started on an old homestead site where Hilyard Shaw, a pioneer, sold goods for the Hudson Bay company. The University of Mon tana has also a history of struggle^and determination on the part of her early pioneers. Besides the universities, each state has an agricultural ’college; Montana has a school of mines; Washington has three normal schools, Puget Sound Uni versity, Whitman college and Gonzaga college. Oregon has Reed college at Portland, the Oregon State Normal school at Monmouth, Albany college at Albany, Linfield College at McMinn ville, Pacific University at Forest Grove, Willamette university at Salem, Pacific college at Newberg, United Brethren college at Philomath, Mt. An gel college at Mt. Angel, Columbia uni versity at Portland and Columbia col lege at Miiton in eastern Oregon.

Hodge to Trace History of Oregon’s Ancient Tribes Radio World Will Hear Interesting Story of Man’s Migration to North America from Cradle of Human Race I — By Phil Brogan Over the western radio world, ap proximately one-third of the North American continent, tomorrow night there will be broadcast the interesting story of the ancient man of Oregon— a story which begins in central Asia, believed by anthropologists to be the cradle of the human race, and ends with the Albany mounds, where recent ly were discovered skeletons thought by some persons to be the remains of a pre historic race. Or. Edwin T. Hodge, of the geology department, will broad cast this story, which has been con densed into a 20-minute lecture, from the Oregonian tower in Portland. Dr. Hodge, who is a specialist in min eralogy, but is interested in anthro pology and paleontology, was inter viewed yesterday afternoon in Quartz Hall—the diminutive structure at the rear of Johnson building. Over the door in the interior of this little edi fice is a picture of the Java man- -a low browed, heavy-jawed animal that looks out on the mineralogy laboratory from a horseshoe frame. On the table in the office where Dr. Hodge was in terviewed were human bones, fragments of skulls and pictures of the Albany ! skeletal remains. Last Friday Dr. Hodge and Dr. Earl L. Packard, of the geology department, visited Albany and secured the bones and pictures. It was in this setting of bones and books, pictures and pamphlets that Dr. Hodge, who was formerly consulting geologist for the city of New York, touched ou a few of the pertinent facts of the Al bany discovery. The human trail from ‘Central Asia to Oregon ns verbally pictured by Dr. Hodge was a fascinating one to follow, but the geologist . was reluctant to grant his interviewer permission to print a description of the mile-posts of geological eras and epochs which man passed in his long jourrffy up the coast of Asia, across the Bering straits, down the coast of North America to Oregon, and then eastward through the Colum bia gap to all parts of the continent. Dr. Hodge was assured his thpnder would not be stolen if he would express his opinion about the Albany mounds. Dr. Hodge believes that 20,000 years ago man lived in the Oregon country, but he is not certain that the Albany remains are of great antiquity. An (Continued on page three.) JUNIOR CLASS TO RAVE PROGRAM OF ACTIVITIES Executive Council Frowns On Use of Advertising The first meeting this term of the di rectorate of the Junior week-end com mittee will be held this afternoon at 4:30 on the third floor of the Commerce building to discuss the recent activities of the various committees. A number of important ideas are ready for presenta tion, according to Doug Farrell, chair man. . The executive council decided last night to allow the Juniors to publish and sell a program of the week-end activities. Last fall the council decided that 'pro grams should not be “hawked” on the campus and that advertising for the pro grams was not to be sold. The coming program will not contain advertising and will be sold at a very low price through the houses, at the Co-op and from booths on. the campus. They will not be “hawked” in the grandstands at ath letic events, according to the ruling of the council. The matter of campus day will prob ably be brought up for discussion tonight. Considerable opposition has arisen over the proposed elimination of the clean-up feature. This is regarded as traditional in many quarters and it is probable that t"he idea will be retained. Decorations for the Junior prom will also be an item of discussion. A meeting of the prom committee was held early this week and the findings will be re ported tonight. All committees have been functioning since
