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 <he last meeting and general re ports will be submitted this afternoon. The campus luncheon group is planning on changing the menu from the usual meat-loaf-beans-ice-cream-cone combina tion. Mrs. Edna P. Datson is to have chage of preparing all the food, which will be purchased by means of class levies and not by the various campus organiza tions as in years past. The publicity committee has sent Jun ior week-end posters all over Oregon and invitations were delivered to senior classes from high school assembly plat forms during the spring holidays. Every senior in Oregon is invited and all guests will be given admission to all week-end events without charge. SCRIBES WILL FROUC AT THETA SIG AFFAIR Silver Party Proceeds Will Swell Fund to Furnish Recreation Room for Journalism Women The old shack will take on new^ activity today when Theta Bigma Phi women’s journalism fraternity, enter tains the students of the journalism department, compensation for which is “silver” to swell the fund for furnish ing the room, which is to be used for recreational purposes for the women of the department. Gaudy signs throughout the new building lure the scribes and news chasers to the merry gathering where food and music are promised. Mr. George Turnbull announced his enthusiasm about the affair and was not at all deterred by silver lining. Al though he said he was densely ignorant to what is to happen, he stated, “It will probably be pretty good as Theta Phi has never given anything that wasn’t tiptop.” nm school receives TEXTILE DESIGN LOANS Elizabeth Barker Sends French and English Patterns Thirteen examples of William Morris’ designs for textiles and three of the mod ern French have been loaned by Eliza beth Barker, who has the Colonial Library and Art Shop in Portland, to the campus department of normal arts for reference. They are on display on the third floor of the new art building. Similar patterns will be secured for the University by Miss Barker on her next trip abroad. Mrs. Lucy Bamberg, the Portland portrait painter, is to pur chase early Italian textiles—Sicilian and Genoan brocades, damasks and velvets. This will make possible the use of the real designs, not cheap reproductions, for the art reference. The designs on exhibit are of special interest because of the effect of the work of Morris on modern decorative taste— as opposed to the fantastic and messy design of the Victorian era. These are hand designs printed on linen and cotton by vegetable dyes especially prepared by a secret process. These dyes give to the fabrics a quality of pure coloring differ ing both from the muddy-looking so called “artshades” and from the manu facturer’s dyes. The unit of the pat terns such as the “bird and strawberry,” the “tulip pattern,” “peony,” and “tulip, and daffodil” is simple. This very simplicity makes possible a beauti ful stained-glass effect against the light. The vegetable dyes give a clear, trans parent quality which makes them es pecially fine for window drapes. The “bird and strawberi-y” pattern is used in the drawing room of Susan Campbell hall. The background is Morris’ non-fading in digo. A piece in two blues like that used in Alumni hall in the Woman’s build ing is also displayed. These tapestries are made by the firm of Morris and Company, London, still us ing the Morris traditions of the old firm of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner and Com pany, 1861. The looms are at Merton Ab bey, Surrey, where hand-weaving lias been continued as one of the staple industries even since Morris obtained a Jacquard hand-loom in the late seventies. DARRELL LARSON ELECTED Mask and Buskin Officers Named and Plans for Senior Play Announced Darrell Larson was elected president of Mask and Buskin dramatic frater nity at a meeting held last night at the Anchorage. Katherine Pinneo was named vice president and Asteria Nor ton, secretary. Ted Baker was named manager and treasurer of the organi zation. Plans were discussed for staging “Successful Calamity,” which will be given as the senior play, early in June. Mask and Buskin has been espec ially active in dramatic work on the campus this year and its work has received general commendation. SCHAEFER BREAKS ANKLE Henry Schaefer, Coach Bolder’s most likely candidate for first base on the Frosli team, was put out of the game for the season, last night, when he broke his ankle as he slid into home plate. Schaefer had been showing up exceptionally well and his loss is a serious one to the freshmen squad. INTERFRATERNITY GROUP PROTESTS FACULTY ACTION Council Approves Resolution Objecting To Publication Of Offenders’ Names FINING ALSO CONDEMNED Representatives of Houses Believe Authority Has Been Exceeded Disapproval of the publication of stu dents’ names giving n. s. f. checks and the policy of fining offenders term hours was voiced last night when the interfraternity council by an unani mous vote sanctioned a resolution of protest which will be submitted to the faculty student affairs committee to day. Following is the resolution: “Whereas the Interfraternity council feels that those who pass n. s. f. checks while attending the University should be censored and that some mea sure should be taken to curtail the un due amount of such checks; and where as the Interfraternity council feels that the measures taken by the student ad visory committee have not been happy ones, but are open to serious objections; and whereas the interfraternity coun cil feels that the matter is one to be handled by the' students by arousing student sentiment against the careless ness which results in the largo number of n. s. f. checks being cashed, and that the Interfraternity council goes on record as opposed to present methods used by the student advisory committee and is anxious to cooperate with the student advisory committee in devising and applying a less objectionable and more effective measure of handling the sit uation. Objection Is Twofold Although the interfraternity coun cil's objection to the faculty action is twofold—publication of names and fin ing of hours—the members of the group made it explicit that check offenders are breaking laws of the state and should be legally reprimanded for writ ing checks when they have no money in the bank. The council is willing to support the faculty in dealing with neg ligent students, but the members of the interfraternity group believe that the student affairs committee is going beyond its justifiable rights when it requests the student publication to print the names of writers of n. s. f. checks, and that the fining of hours is in excess of the authority of the committee. In the meeting last night the opin ion was expressed that the check prob lem is removed from the jurisdiction of the University and that the banks should resort to the same legal methods which are used when business men are protected. It is the belief of the interfrater nity council that the opinion of the campus should be expressed on the sub ject of publication of names and fining of hours in connection with the writ ing of n. s. f. checks. In taking the stand of submitting a resolution of pro test to the faculty, the council made it plain that it represented only the fra ternity group. BLEACHERS WILL HAVE COVERING BEFORE FALL Construction to Adjoin Grand Stand; Cost of $2500 Estimated For Protection of 2500 People Half of the circular bleachers at the north end of Hayward field will be covered before football season, decided the executive council at its regular meeting last night. Approximately 2500 seats will be protected from the rain before the Homecoming game next year at a cost of approximately $2500. The construction will be permanent and will probably be followed by cov ering the entire end beachers within two years. The covering will adjoin the grandstand at present. It is plan ned to use the protected seats for co eds of contesting institutions. The work will be done late in the summer. EX-CAMPUS SCRIBE VISITS Included among the Phi Beta Kappa guests who were on the campus for initiation was Miss Dorothy Duniway, ’20, assistant registrar at Reed College and secretary to President Richard Scholz. Miss Duniway will assist Dean Allen in teaching journalism classes at the University of California this summer. She remained in Eugene until Monday evening. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED Cigars were passed at the Kappa Sig ma house last night when Ralph Van Waters, class of '26 announced his en gagement to Miss Virginia Whiting of Portland, daughter of Mrs. A. S. Whit ing. Vgu Waters is the son of Rever end Van Waters of Portland. No date has yet been set for the wedding.
