to Last Week’s Tryouts
Members of the men’s and wo
men ’s varsity debate squads have
been chosen from among those who
entered the tryouts which were held
beginning last Saturday morning
and continuing up till Wednesday
afternoon. The squads have al
ready been organized for prelimin
ary work, and will collect material
during the holidays. Then when
the new term starts after Christmas
k there need be no delay in getting
down to actual work on the ques
tions.
Twelve Men Named
Those who have been placed on
the men’s squad to work on the
Stanford - Washington - Oregon tri
angle to be held March 6 are:
Ernest Henrikson, Herschel Brown,
Sol Abramson, Ted Larsen, Willard
Marshall, Harold Hoflich, Martin
Moore, Felipe Gamboa, Robert
Craemer, Elam Amstutz, W. Lock
wood Beatty and Harold Sox. These
12 men will all work on the ques
tion up till a short time before the
actual contest, when the four out
standing members of the squad will
be chosen to constitute the team.
The question for the debate which
these men will work up is, “Re
solved that the United States should
enter the world court.”
Women Selected
Women who were successful in
the tryouts and who will take up
work for the O. A. C.-Willamette
Oregon contest which will take
place l^ebruarv 15 are: Gertrude

thy Abbott, Lela Wade, Ellen Mc
Clellan, Mildred Whitcomb, and

will be on the same basis as the
men’s. The question of the Ruhr
invasion, Jwhich is another form
was part of last year’s women’s var
sity work, will also be used this
year. The question will be worded,
“Resolved that France should im
mediately evacuate the Ruhr dis
trict.”
Coaches Encouraged
H. E. Rosson, coach of debate,
and Gerrit Demmik, his assistant,
are much encouraged by the in
terest shown in the tryouts, and
feel that this should be a good sea
son for forensics, despite the fact
that the material is so new and
the schedule so heavy.
NEVADA FOOTBALL MEN

University of Nevada—(P. I. N.
S.)—A banquet was held in the

“Peter Ibbetson” Is Made a
Dreamy, Beautiful Fantasy
' ■ "—a
By Leon K. Byrne
DuMaurier, in his hook, “Peter
Ibbetson,” rather than attempting
to draw a moral, tell a story or
depict characters, desired to make
his readers feel, wanted to take
them out of themselves into a fairy
land of dreams, of sensations, of
emotions. The dramatization of the
book, done by Fergus Reddie and
his pupils, and presented in the
Cuild theatre last night under Char- j
lotte Banfield’s direction, caught j
the spirit of fantasy at times and
at other intervals missed it.
Dreamy as in the original, Mr.
Reddie has made of his Ibbetson a
thing of beauty as well as an ob
ject of wonder, and, whether or
not the thing abide by the laws of
dramatization, it does present, in
picture, the dream children, Gogo
and Mimsey in their struggle with
life. Mr. Reddie, at least, has
dreamed true.
A press agent has presaged Peter
as the unhappy victim of his
dreams, led or misled by them to
a state of discord with the world.
The play makes one wonder whether
it would not be truer to say that

AD CLUB AFTER
Local Society to Petition
Alpha Delta Sigma For
Chapter at ^ University
PORTLANDERS THANKED
Affiliation With the Pacific
Coast Association Also
Desire of Organization
The University of Oregon Ad elub
will petition Alpha Delta Sigma, hon
orary national advertising fraternity,
in the near future, as a result of a
decision at its regular luncheon held
yesterday noon.
“The possibilities of making
Alpha Delta Sigma are favorable,”
said Frank Shorty president of the
club. “It means to advertising
students as much as other profes
sional fraternities mean to their
members.”
Scholarship is Appreciated
The club adopted a resolution to
be sent to the Portland Advertis
ing club, expressing appreciation
for the $150 yearly advertising
scholarship which was recently
created by the Portland club. The
scholarship is a distinct boost to
advertising in the University. The
resolution reads:
“The Advertising club of the Uni
versity of Oregon is deeply ap
preciative of the generous interest
of the Advertising club of Portland
in establishing an annual scholar
ship for a student advertising at
the University of Oregon; there
fore,
“Be it resolved that the cordial
thanks of the Advertising club of
the University be conveyed to the
Advertisisg club of Portland, and
published in the Oregon Emerald.
“University Ad Club.”
Program Planned
The local club is planning to pre
sent a program at one of the week
ly luncheons of the Portland club
to show the donors of the scholar
ship that the students of the Uni
versity appreciate their favor, and
m> bring the two clubs closer to
gether.
It is expected that the Ad club
will affiliate also with the Pacific
Coast Advertising associations, in ad
dition to the charter they already
hold in the Associated Advertising
clubs of the world.
Publicity Will be Handled
The club is ready at all times to
handle the publicity and advertis
ing for the activities of any campus
organziation, Mr. Short announced.
The men in the club are students of
advertising, several of them having
had professiosal experience, and will
glady assist if called on.

COSTS MONEY INSTEAD
OF POINTS AT ALABAMA
Women’s College of Alabama—In
\ stead of costing points to cut clas
ses at the Women’s College of Ala
i bama, it costs cold cash. The fol
lowing faculty rules were published
in a reeent copy of the Wo Co-Ala
News:
1. Absence from a test, due to
any cause, will necessitate the
paying of one dollar.
2. Absence fcom examinations,
two dollars.
3. Two dollars a day will be
charged students who leave the
school early before a vacation
and the same amount for each day
they stay over the stated time
for them to be back.
VIGILANCE COMMITTEE
APPOINTED AT OHIO TJ.
University of Ohio—The Univer
sity of Ohio has an organization
known as the sophomore vigilance
committee, appointed to keep stu
dents from walking on the campus
grass. Each member of the vigil
ance committee has in his posses
sion a whistle, upon which he sounds
a warning to those who “stray
from the straight and narrow
cement paths.”
Sculpture Club
Initiates with
Sugared Horror
Clay Statues Respond
to Music Strains
A combination of horror and
powdered sugar characterized the
Sculpture club initiation on Wed
nesday night, when five new mem
bers were welcomed at the inner
shrine of Art. At any rate, the
powdered sugar on the dough
nuts accompanied by several
toasts in cider cheered the
Bohemians after the ordeal was
over.
And what is a revel without
music? Even statutes, swathed
to kaep their clay damp and
workable, must have heard.
The new members include: Mrs.
Avard Fairbanks, Elaine Brock
bank, Vivian Hargrove, Mabs
Breckon, Manuel Souza and Vic
tor Saari. Membership is deter
mined on the basis of both in
terest and ability in sculpture.
DEAN TELLS STUDENTS
European Troubles Found
Hard to Understand
“I thought before I went over
. that I knew something of European
conditions, but I don’t know as much
now as before I went. I feel that I
don’t know anything. And, further
more, nobody else does,” said Dean
Eric W. Allen of the school of journ
alism, in an address on “Glimpses of
Europe,” at the last assembly of
the term in .Villard hall, yesterday
morning.
Dean Allen traveled in Italy,
France and England, and was prim
arily interested in the people. “The
Italians have dominated the world
several times. They think for them
selves as great among the great na
tions, and they are indulging in a
reaction against republicanism and
democracy. The common people are
much more friendly and courteous
than their upper classes,” he declared.
“We felt a tremendous respect for
the English. Their manners are not
as polished as those of the Latin
nations. They are more like ours. The
number of unemployed in England
runs up into millions. There is a
gloom over the country, and I did
not talk to a single person who
saw a ray of hope ahead. The
English people have set their teeth
in an uncomplaining way and are
undertaking to pay their debts.
“France is now engaged in the
great and dangerous undertaking of
trying to dominate Europe, the dean
believes, and is in the position of
the “man who had the tiger by the
tail and did not know whether he
should hang on or let go.
“We hear that the League of Na.
tions is futile, yet one of those
stories that comes down from the
[ eastern side of the old battle line

I-—
University Chorus to Give
Fourth Presentation of
the Mass of St. Cecilia
WORDS ARE IN LATIN
Roy Bryson, Tenor, Aubrey
Furry, Baritone, and Ruth
Akers, Soprano, Soloists
The St. Cecilia Hass, sung by the
University choir will receive its
fourth annual presentation on the
campus Sunday afternoon at 4:30.
It will be given as usual in the
Methodist Episcopal church.
The mass, which is one of the
finest things in sacred music, is
sung entirely in old classical Latin.
It was written by Charles Francois
Gounod and was presented for the
first time in the church of St.
Eustache on November 22, 1855.
Three Sing Solos
There are seven numbers in the
mass, the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo,
Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei.
The Kyrie which is a touching
prayer, is followed by the Gloria
in Exeelsis Deo, one of the most
emotional Glorias written. The Credo
is a wonderful expression of faith
which depicts the reverence of the
true believer in God. In this num
ber and in the Sanctus which fol
lows unusual chorus work is dis
played. The tenor solo in the
Sanctus is sung by Boy Bryson. As
a fitting- climax to this beautiful
mass the Benedictus is sung by
Buth Akers, soprano, and the chorus.
Aubrey Furry is heard during the
mass as the baritone soloist.
In previous years outside soloists
have been used. The choir was as
sisted last year by Madame Bose
McGrew and John B. Siefert, of the
school of music, and John Claire
Monteith of Portland.
Evans Directs Choir
John Stark Evans, of the school
of. music, is again directing the
choir, and to him should go the
praise for the beauty of the mass.
In an interview recently, he said
that the work of the student
soloists is unusually fine, and that
it is quite seldom soloists and es
pecially student soloists are capable
of accomplishing such creditalblo
work.
Because of the prominence of the
mass in the realms of sacred music,
| its appealing qualities, and the un
! usually fine presentation it receives
; by the University choir, it will witli
I out a doubt continue to be an
annual affair.
PLEDGINGS ANNOUNCED

Has Paddling Bee
on Library Steps
They go wild, simply wild over
me. I don’t know what they felt,
when they've got that awful belt,
but they go wild over me—sh—
I'm a paddle. Thursday on the
steps, come the freshlets with the
reps; the tall ones, the small ones,
I swat ’em all like that—spat
spat. I don’t know what it can
be, but. they jump when they see
me. Oh, the boys who wear the
green, they are heard and seldom
seen. They are young and all of
that, but they do love to get a
spat. They go wild, simply wild
over me. For a simple misdeamnor,
they go up and get a beaner.
Then they are so very meek, that
they stand and eat for a week.
Oh, they go wild over me—I’m
a paddle.
TODAY IS THE TIME
TO BUY YELLOW TAGS
Money From Sale Goes to
Convention Fund
This is tag day on the campus.
Yellow tags with “A. S. U. 0. dele
gate to Indianapolis” printed on
them will bo sold by the hundreds
to the students. The price is fifteen
cents. A booth will be placed in
front of the library as headquarters
for the sale.
In other words, the official dele
gate of the A. S. U. O., Ed. Kirtley,
is to receive his financial backing
from the student body, and today’s
tag sale is the means of raising the
money. If you have forgotten your
fifteen cents this morning, borrow
that amount from the first friend
you meet, or get it at noon, but at
any rate buy a tag, say these in
charge of the tag day sale.
Lot Beatie is in charge of the
tag day. He is assisted by Flor
ence Mncgowan, Y. M. C. A. sec
retary, and her group of girls from
the freshman commission.
Since Kirtley is the only one of
the fourteen delegates who will
make the trip to the student vol
unteer convention whom the stu
dent body as a whole has been
asked to support directly, it is
urged by the convention committee
| that every student support the stu
dent council’s choice by buying a
tag. No other means have been
taken to raise the money to send
Kirtley.
All the delegates but one met
last evening in the “Y” hut to
discuss Pullman accommodations,
dates, registration fees and cer
tificates, and to plan for the trip
east. They will leave on the after
j noon of December 24 and will be
back in Eugene on January 5. Tho
delegates from the U. of O. will
go to Portland, where th)ey will
join the other delegates for Ore
gon. They will then go in special
cars to Spokane, where they will
join the Washington group in
making up a special train which will
carry them to Indianapolis and re
turn.

FINE HOOF COME
THIS AFTERNOON
Teams in Good Condition;
Campus Championship is
Pending in Today’s Tilt
ADMISSION FEE 10 CENTS
Passing and Dribbling of
Both Fives Good; Fijis
Winners of First Mix
The Fiji and Beta quintets tangle
today at 4 o’clock for the doughnut
basketball championship of the Uni
versity. Both teams are in the
prime of condition and are deter
mined to be the one to carry the
cup homo with them after the bat
tle. The tilt promises to be a rare
treat to those fans who enjoy a fast
and clever contest on the gym
floor.
A small admission of ten centa
will be charged and the proceeda
will go to the order of the “O.” In
previous years there has been very
little standing room left at these
title contests, so the fans are urged
to come early and secure a ring
side seat, so to speak.
Both Groups Fast
In comparing strength, there in
little to choose between the two
aggregations. Both are exceptional
ly fast, and their scrappy spirit and
cloverness has carried each to the
top of the league. Both teams have
been erratic in their play at times
but have, with one exception, man
aged to pull through with a victory
and by fairly decisive scores.
Each five plays an aggressive
brand of ball and depends upon a
clever passing offense coupled with
some neat dribbling to work the ball
down under the basket. Both sides
have shown their ability to cage
the counters from long shots, but
each depends upon its ability to
work the ball under the hoop for,
the majority of’ their markers.
First Game Close
These two fives have met onee
in this league and the Fijis carried
off the honors in a torrid contest,
25 to 18. This contest was decided
in the last two minutes of play.
Both teams have improved tre
mendously since that tilt, however,
and should put up a great struggle.
The tentative lineups are:
Fijis: Chiles and Brown, for
wards; Flynn, center; Goodell and
Schmeer, guards.
Betas: Westergren and Calloway,
forwards; Gunther, center; Sox and
Socolofsky, guards.
Y. W. C. A SERVES TEA
Hot Fudge Sundaes Sold to Support
Delegate to Convention
Dainty Christmas menus with
decorations appropriate to the sea
son were a featuro of the monthly
Y. W. tea, held yesterday afternoon
in the bungalow. Hot fudge
sundaes—delicious? M-m-m, and
cinnamon toast with tea, were all
on the menu and enjoyed to the
extreme by the enthusiastic pat
rons.
The V. W. teas have been given
each month for the purpose of rais
ing a sum of money to send a dele
gate to the student volunteer con
vention being held in Indianapolis
on December 28 to January 2.
