VOLUME XXV NUMBER 62 HAYWARD if BE OLYMPIC COACH Letter From Amateur Union President Asks Oregon’s Trainer to Go to Paris ROBERTSON STAFF HEAD Spearow May Pole Vault on United States Team in European Contest Bill Hayward, Oregon’s veteran track coach and trainer, has been invited to act as one of the track and field coaches for the American Olympic team when it leaves to participate in the 1924 Olympic games which will be held in Paris next summer. Bill’s invitation was made known in a letter received from William C. Prout, president of the Amateur Athletic Union of America. His final selection depends, however, upon the ratification by the Olym pic committee. Hayward has ac cepted the invitation, and if his ap pointment is confirmed by the Olympic body, he will sail from New York June 17 with the Am erican team. Coaches Together Before Lawson Robertson, track mentor at the University of Pennsylvania, has been selected as head coach of the American track teams and if Hayward makes the trip this year, it will be the third time that he and the Penn coach have been co workers on the Olympic coaching staff. Robertson and Hayward were together at the games at Stock holm in 1912 and again at Antwerp in 1920. It was disclosed in tlie interview with Bill that the Lemon-Yellow has had a representative on every American Olympic team that has gone abroad since 1908. In that year, Oregon’s famed sprinter, Dan Kelly, whose record of 9 3-5 seconds in the hundred still stands, was a member of the Olympic squad which represented the United States at the games in London. Oregon Men in Games In 1912, at Stockholm, Oregon was represented on the Olympic team by McClure, in the distances, and Hawkins, in the hurdles. There were no games in 1916 on account of the war, but at the Antwerp games in 1920, Ken Bartlett, var sity discus liurler, and Art Tuck, javelin, accompanied the American team across the water. In that same year, Hank Foster missed qualifying for the broad jump by a scant half inch. It looks as though the 1924 Olym pic team will not be without its Oregon man in Kalph Spearow, varsity track captain, polevaults in his usual form. Last year, Spear ow came perilously close to shat tering the world mark in this event and if his work this season is up to the standard of that of last, he should have little trouble gain ings berth on the Olympic squad. ONTHANK FAMILY HAPPY OVER BIRTH OF BABY GIRL Mr. and Mrs. Karl Onthank are being congratulated on the birth of a daughter, born Friday morning. —----< Director of Glee Concert Tuesday j John Stark Evans GLEE CLUB PROGRAM HAS MANY FEATURES Concert is January 8; Only Appearance of Year The Men’s Glee club, which will be heard in concert next Tuesday evening, January 8, has several outstanding features on its pro gram, the chief of which is the ever popular quartet. They will give several light and popular numbers, which include some old time quarter harmonies. Lyle Palm er and the Bolshevik Duo are also among the specialists who will ap pear on the program. A novel and unique lighting ef fect is being worked out by Ted Baker, manager, in which the quartet is to be featured. The same idea was carried out as a part of the program given at the Whitman and Washington State college concerts, and it was con sidered one of the biggest hits. The quartet, in addition to its glee club work, has been greatly in demand for downtown affairs, and in the near future will fill an en gagement in Salem for the Rotary club. Ronald Reid, pianist for the club who also is the assistant director, has toured quite extensively as a pianist in chatauqua and lyeeum work in the east. Another interesting feature of,the concert will be the “Soft Shoe Shuffle” by Lyle Palmer. Lyle’s ability as an entertainer of high quality has been manifested fre quently on the campus and his name on any program proves popu lar. Si Muller and Dale Cooley, in the “Bolshevik,” are sure to please the most exacting audience, for they have something new and different to offer. Si Muller will be remember ed for his unusually fine wor^ in “The Hour Hand,” when it was produced last year. Dale Cooley is a graduate of the University high school, and he is considered one of the best campus comedians. The “Bolshevik Duo” is an original con- i ception of the two young men. Admittance to the concert, which will be held in the Woman’s build ing, will be by studsj^t body ticket, and all new students are to be ad mitted on recognition. The Men’s frlee club concert has ■ always proved one of the biggest drawing cards of the school year, and since it will only be heard one evening on the campus an excep tionally large attendance is ex pected. Japanese Current May Play Havoc at University Campus Consider Oregon without its pro verbial mist. It may be if ... . Imagine the campus with throes of1 hockey players instead of the Sun day golfers. Bang’s Biding Aca-; demy would continue, to be sure, but the co-eds might be astrii^! reindeer. All these may be if the Japanese current gets frisky and goes exploring outside her regular path. The earthquake sort of stirred up an internal revolution down in the subterranean regions of the sea, and in the squabble the ocean bed got a dent or two and a few bumps that are going to affect mightily the future life of the Pacific coast, says a group of scientists, or they say j words to that effect. At any rate, I the Japanese current is off its'base and may decide not to come so far north as Oregon and, incidentally, the University. Those moist winds (only blind optimism prevents us from saying excessively moist winds) will bring none of the “gentle rain that droppeth from heaven.” Maybe we wTill have howling winds, drifts of snow and ice from Alaska to cool our ardor around exams. We’d wear snow-shoes when we wandered to the graveyard to study the stars. Wouldn’t it be fun to surreptitiously squeeze her hand when teaching her to skate? Er—er—skating on thin ice. Such a change among the faculty!

More than 200 high school boys and girls are expected on the cam pus to meet in serious contemplation of their respective problems, but ; who will be equally ready to parti j cipate in any college excitement ! which may be offered. College Night is planned, as the outstanding occa sion for the amusement of these preppers. The program of enter I tainment which is being arranged , by Floyd McKallon, Though de ' signed particularly for the benefit j of the high schoolers, is also to be : open to the University student body. /Awards Promised A particular feature of the eve ning ’s program will be the award of sweaters to the football men who earned them during the past season. Bill Hayward will be on hand to see that the boys get their ! due, and the lettermen will make 1 their appearance before the high j school delegates. ! The glee clubs and the University orchestra have promised to put on numbers. There will be musical solos, stunts, skits, a dialogue by two campus humorists, a solo dance, and other forms of diversion for the tired mind. Program at Banquet The entertainment will be held at the gymnasium in the Woman’s building immediately following the banquet for the high school dele gates there at 6 p. m. Friday. At the banquet there will bo a brief speakers’ program. President Camp bell will preside as toastmaster, and there will be brief words of wel come by John,Straub, dean of men; Virginia Judy Esterly, dean of women; Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism; and Claude Robinson, president of the Associ ated Students. - An exhibition which will be held for the benefit of the dele gates, particularly the girls, is that to be staged by the Women’s Athle tic association. A definite time and place have not been decided as yet, but it will no doubt be staged at the women’s gymnasium Friday afternoon. The Women’s league is planning to put on another style show for the visiting girls. It will serve to show them correct and sensible modes of dress for the high school girl. This will be held Sat urday morning at a place yet to be determined. To Entertain Delegates Campus organizations will have the chance to entertain these dele gates at luncheon both Friday and Saturday noon. From all indica tions a large proportion, if not half, the representatives from the high schools wrill be girls this year. More of them than ever before ^re in cumbents of the high school student body offices. Thus the co-eds will be called upon for their share of the entertaining this year. Friday evening has been set aside as an evening exclusive for the entertainment of these guests. There being no other social functions, it is trusted that all the student body will turn out for the occasion PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENTS Delta Delta Delta—Announces the pledging of Jeanette* Dentler, of Portland. Chi Omega—Announces the pledg ing of Edna Donahue, of Eugene. Alpha Omicron Pi—Announces the pledging of Georgia Davidson, of Portland, Oregon. Delta Tau Delta—Announces the pledging of Elting Launt, of Port land. Scandal Sheet News Reviewed; Let’s Study Nou Pigges Told to Wait for Balmy Spring Now that the scandal sheet has been browsed through and is fod der for the flames and everybody knows what everybody else received as a Christmas pre sent from the faculty, it might behoove some of us to take on a little knowledge for the exams along toward the fag end of March. It might be well to give a few reasons why studying would be a profitable indoor sport during the coming days. Thirty members of our student body had their dreams shattered by a host of letters which sent them home to the folks talking to themselves. Wo had better study. The long winter nights are here and the east wind is howling through the grandstand and the bleachers on the race—good chance for the pigger to leave the lady home and browse through a little philosophy or econ. Spring is the time to pig—the moonlight, the stars—ah, let us study now and wait for the spring.

Under the new year system of registration this number shows the increase in enroll ment and compares favorably with the number of new students who reg istered at this time last year. The enrollment for the last term was 2,224 students and with this in crease the total enrollment, so far, is 2.380 persons. The increase at th’s time last year was 158 and the total enrollment for the wunter term last year was 2,347, showing an in crease for this year of 33. It is expected by the registrar’s office that the increase will be greater when the final figures are compiled. It is impossible to tell yet how well the new system of registering for the whole year is working out, but Carlton K. Spencer, the regis trar, believes that it will prove en tirely satisfactory. He believes that the new system is better than the old and that as soon as the students become accustomed to planning a course for the entire, year that much of the present work of changing courses will be eliminated. The registrar's office, besides handling the registration of new stu dents has been kept busy with the petitions of those desiring to drop or to change courses. Students wish ing to change courses must do so within the next week and a half, ac cording to the information given out by the office.

EMPLOYEE IS INJURED WHEN TIMBER FALLS Jesse Jones, Working in New Power Plant Suffers Broken Ribs and Bad Cut Jesse Jones, a laborer in the cm- , ploy of the building and grounds j department, was seriously injured | Wednesday afternoon when he was . struck by a falling timber, while | at work in the new power plant. Jones was working on the floor j of the boiler room and two other men were above him, lowering a timber with ropes. One of the ropes slipped and the timber fell on Jones. He sustained a severe cut on the head, the loss of several teeth and two fractured ribs. He was taken to the infirmary for first aid and later was removed to his home. W. 1. King, a carpenter, was in jured Thursday afternoon while operating a power rip-saw in the repair shop. The end of the board which he was sawing flew up and struck him in the solar plexus when the saw caught it and threw it back. At first it was feared that he was severely injured and he was taken to the infirmary for treatment. When he had recovered the shock and loss of breath, it was .dis covered that his injuries were hot serious. He was back on the job yesterday, finishing up the interior of the new headquarters of the, University Depot. Juniors Help Bring Christmas Cheer to Needy Children Many needy families and many little Eugene children who other wise might have lost their faith in Santa Claus were made happy by visits from Mrs. M. S. Ady, police matron of the city, and in charge of charitable work. Mrs. Ady left baskets brimming full of “all kinds of good things,” candies, and fruits, and warm clothing, and shoes, and wooly animals that go “Squeek” when “little sister” squeezes it with her pudgy hands. Part of the money contributed for this work came in the form of a check for $100.00, presented by the"Junior class of the Univer sity, money that had been raised Junior Shine day. At that time, the class of ’25 turned out and (became temporary bootblacks, shining the footwear of everyone who could bo persuaded' by the charity of the purpose, if not by the quality of the work. filfILS’ OREGON CLUB WINS IN BASKETBALL Hendricks Hall First Team Loses Final Game o <» STANDING OF LEAGUES League I— W.

Lowe’s Chart of Business District Will be Given to City of Eugene The most complete up-to-date map of the business district of Eugene, showing present occupants of all business blocks, is one made at the end of last term by John R. Lowe, graduate student in the school of business administration. Each student in the statistics class, taught by W. B. Mikesell of the school of business administra tion, was required to make a map of a certain street in the business district for the purpose of locating a retail store, making records and statistics concerning each location. After individual maps of each street were made, John Lowe grouped them all together, making a complete map of the business part of the city. The map is about 18x12 inches in size and is said to be unusually excellent as to proportions and ac curacy. It is planned to exhibit it later at the Euglene chamber of commerce and place it there at the disposal of city use.

Tlio candidates have been doing through drill in pivoting and work ing the ball down tho floor by passes as well as shooting, to allow Coach Evans an opportunity for a thorough inspection of the material. He will be forced to cut the group very rapidly in order to get a final squad down to intensive training as the season will begin almost im mediately for the frosh. His task will bo lightened somewhat due to the pre-season workouts most of the men received in the do-nut league. The first cut will come Monday and from then on men will be dropped as the coach»sees fit.

Rooks and the team will bo pointed for these contests. Other games will be played against the stronger quintets of the state. Many former high school players of the first magnitude are contest ing for places on the team. A few of the men are Wostergren, All State forward for two years, from Astoria high school, and All-do-nut forward this year. Kiminki, also from Astoria, is a very promising candidate for a guard berth. Chiles, Flynn, Schmeer, Hughos and Wester man. stars in the Portland league last year, are showing up well. Okerberg, Reinhart and Cash, mem bers of the fast Salem five last year will fight for places. Among others out are: Johnson, Sliulte, Carter, (Continued on page three) OREGON INSTRUCTORS ELECTED TO POSITIONS State Teachers ’ Association Will Contribute Annual Sum to Student Loan A meeting of the Oregon State Teachers’ association was held at the Lincoln high school in Portland, on December 27, 28 and 29. Thirty-five of the 5,000 members of the associa tion are from the University of Ore gon faculty. Oregon teachers who were honored with election to offices aro: Mr. Dickerson, who was made head of the history section; Ethel Wakefield, who was made vice-president of the entire association, and Dean Dyment, re elected head of the higher section. Dean Sheldon was chairman of the committee to revise the constitution. Superintendent A. C. Strange, of As toria, was chosen president of the entire association for this year. Professor P. L. Stetson and Dr. Gregory of the University, gave prom inent reports during the series of meetings. Some of the most interesting busi ness accomplished during the confer ence was the voting of $150 to be used by Dr. Gregory in his study of retarded children and students. Two hundred dollars was added to the gum already in the fund which has been established for student loans. This same amount is to be added annually. The executive committee is to estab lish a board to arrange for the lend ing of this money to students throughout the state. The higher section of the associa tion also voted to recommend the putting of German back in the high schools as it has been in none of them since the war.
