OXFORD ASPIRANTS WILL BE EXAMINED Winner of Rhodes Scholarship To Be Picked By State In December The state examination for determin ing who shall receive th Rhodes schol arship to Oxford from Oregon for the year 1923, will be held December 8. Colleges and universities will select their representatives between October 1 and October 7. This means that the candidates from the University will be chosen during the first week of the fall trm and all students wishing to try out for the scholarship should make their intentions known this spring, accord ing to information received from Dean Dyment’s office. Candidates for the scholarship are given two examinations. They are first examined by the committee for that purpose from their respective schools, an then those chosen from the various colleges of the state are examined to determine the winner. The committee on foreign scholarships of the Univer sity consists of Dean Colin Dyment, chairman, Prof. E. 8. Bates, and Prof. Donald Barnes. Subjects Not Restricted A Rhodes scholarship is tenable for three years and the annual stipend is 350 pounds or about $1,750. No res treitions are placed on the scholar’s choice of subjects. A candidate to be eligible must be a male citizen of the United States, must be between the ages of 19 and 25, and must have com pleted at least his sophomore year in college. A student may apply in the state in which he resides or in a state in which he has received at least two years of his college education. The qualities which are considered in making the selection of a Rhodes schol ar are: qualities of manhood, force of character and leadership; literary and scholastic ability and attainments; and physical vigor, as shown by interest in outdoor sports or in other ways. The University of Oregon has had more Rhodes scholars than any other institution in Oregon, according to Dean John Straub. Two years ago Kir by Miller of the University won the scholarship. He is not at Oxford. Last year a man from Reed College, in Port land, was the successful candidate. Pacific Coast Represented Scholars will be elected from 32 states this year. All Pacific Coast Btates are on the list, while the largest states in the union, such as New York and Pennsylvania, are not represented. PINOCHLE TOURNAMENT APPROACHES LAST BOUT Vonder Ahe, Campbell, and Haney Will Play for Championship in Closing Contest Wednesday Night Bret Harte might return to the cam pus Wednesday night for local color for one of his gambling stories. Three flashy miners from tho goology depart ment, the glints in their eyes vying with the sparkle of tho horseshoe tie pins, loud snorts subduing their stri dent tones, will shuffle the cards to decide the pinochle champion of the University. The three best card sharks left in the semi-finals of the tournament are Karl Vonder Aho, who has won six games and lost three; and Ian Camp bell and Ed Ilaney, who htive five wins to their credit and four losses. Vonder Ahe, according to close observers, has been the most consistent player, but the odds in his favor have dropped. The anouncement of his engagement may possibly make him nervous and .spoil his steady hand, in the theory of the onlookers. Haney and Campbell plan to play hard to prevent the cham pionship from being taken away from Condon Club members, and to keep the prize deck of cards on home territory. Admission of ten cents will bo charged to witness the keenest card contest on the campus. Dates are not prohibited, say the promoters of the affair. However girls must present af fidavits as to their deafness or wear ear-stoppers. Hr. Warren D. Smith, head of the ge ology department, will act as honorary chairman. Don Zimmerman, president of the (1 and M society, will officiate as acting chairman. Troy Phipps, for mer pinochle chairman, will be offi cial score keeper, with Phil Brogan, managing editor of the Emerald, assist ing.

Fiery Local Lawyers Expose Fearful Fraud One thousand dollars is an unusual price to ask for a fountain pen and especially so when it is a well-known make, retailing at $2.50, but Odgen Johnson, law school student, finds that after accepting the pen in payment for some typewriting ho is sued for it’s value by his former employer, “Shorty” Meyers, also a law student. The dis pute will be settled in the court of Justin Miller in the circuit court room this evening. And at the same time some of the future powejs in the legal world will get some practice in the ways of a court. Representing Mr. Meyers is Forest Littlefield, and representing Mr. John son is Abe Rosenberg, both of whom are delving into the legal details of the case. “The plaintiff claims that the pen is a family heirloom and that he did not agree to give it to Mr. Johnson as a payment but I will take every step to protect my client from such a graft,” said Mr. Rosenberg in speaking of the case. NINE HIGH SCHOOLS WILL CONTEST AT TRACK MEET 100 Preppers To Compete with Frosh Runners Junior Week-end; Event Has Three Purposes The freshman track squad will have keen competition in the meet to be held on Hayward field Saturday, May 19, when nine high schools will com pete with it as a part of the Junior Week-end program. The high schools that will send teams to the University for the meet are Washington, Lincoln, Franklin, Henson Polytechnic, Com merce, Jefferson, Roosevelt, of Port land; Columbia University, also of Portland, and either Mount Angel or Chemawa will compete.

The purpose of holding such a meet is three-fold, namely: as a drawing card to attract future University students to the campus; to afford the freshman track team competition; and to fpster athletics and physical education among the high schools. Approximately one hundred high school athletes will par ticipate in the meet. Admission will be by student tickets and guest tickets.

TO ORATORY MEET To Represent The University For the Second Time This Year Paul Patterson for the second time during the school year will represent the University of Oregon at an oratorical contest, when he goes to Moscow, Idaho, on May 24 to compete with speakers from the Universities of Washington and i Idaho in the Northwest oratorical meet. ■ Not only did he win the right to go to [this contest as a result of the tryouts held in Villard hall last night, but he won the Mrs. Wilson Jewett prize, an award of $40 offered through the public speak ing department to the student winning in the tryouts. Other students partici pating in these tryouts were Ernest Hen rikson, Wayne Meek and Kelsey Guil foil. Faculty members who acted as judges were Dean W. G. Hale of the law school, Dr. J. H. Gilbert of the econo mics department, Professor Roland M. Miller, also of the economics depart ment, and Professor Melvin T. Solve of the English department. Is Forensic Manager Patterson is a senior in the school of business administration and is from Seat tle, Washington. He holds an enviable record in forensic activities, having been a member of the Varsity debating squad for four years, forensic manager dur ing this year and the Oregon orator at the Old Line oratorical contest held at Albany the earlier part of this year. The Northwest contest is an annual event carried on by the University of Oregon, the University of Washington and the University of Idaho. The prize offered by the league conducting the affair amounts to $100. Last year the contest was held at the University of Washington, this year it is scheduled to be held at the University of Idaho, and at the University of Oregon next year. The Idaho representative won the event last year, at which Ralph Bailey, also a member of the Oregon debating squad, went as the University orator. Interest In Contest Keen The tryout held last night is the last opportunity for this yeaT that University students in general will have to compete in oratOi’'c-l work, as the Failing-Beek man orations scheduled for commence ment week, are open only to members of the graduating class. Students at the University have dis played unusually keen interest in oratory this year according to Professor C. D. Thorpe of the public speaking depart ment, and the prospects for next year are good. Last year he said students had to be urged to turn out for the try outs, but even then they did not al ways respond and as a result no one tried out for the Peace orations. This year every tryout has had a good turn out, and many dark hourses as well as experienced speakers have come out to ] the tryouts. Y. W.
