BOYS JIT CONFERENCE Registration Booth to Oper Thursday Afternoon The rising tide of feminine powei will be manifested in the conferenc es of student body presidents, edi tors, managers, and girls’ league exe cutives next Friday and Saturday Notices received in advance fron: delegates from the high schools in dicate that the preponderance of re presentatives will be girls. The men are threatened with smotheratiom be neath the increasing position of the feminine in the world of activity. In former years of the conference the girls have taken a minor place. Men have dominated the sessions. But this year high school girls’ leagues are asked to send their re presentatives, and it ha* been found that a surprising number of student body presidents and editors of high school publications are girls. To cope with such a situation the forces for the accomodation of the guests over the coming week-end will be adjusted. The more equal divi sion of delegates between the two sexes will make accommodation of them easier. In previous years men's organizations which have handled the accomodation of the high school reason of the nfhjority of men. guests have been over-crowded by This year there are to be about 200 delegates at the conference. At least half of these should be girls who can be taken care of by the women’s organizations. To manage the apportionment of guests as they arrive, there will be a registration booth for all high school delegates at the Administra tion building. This will open Thurs day afternoon. Bay Harlan, in charge of the housing of the dele gates, will manage the booth. From there as headquarters the delegates will be taken to their respective or ganizations who will provide their ac commodation for the two days. It is known definitely in advance who is expected and approximately when they will arrive. Oregon Knights will meet the delegates at the depots and conduct them to the registration booth. By the time they have arrived it will be definitely known to which organization they have been assigned, and the assign ments will be made immediately up on presentation of credentials. Each organization is asked by Harlan to have on hand some re presentative during Thursday after noon and Friday morning to escort the guests from the registration booth to their respective houses. By this method it is calculated to avoid confusion and embarrassment. Together with the delegates will come a few faculty advisors from the high schools. They as well wall be accomodated by the organizations, since the total numbers of all are restricted and there is no clanger of crowding. CONVENTION DISCUSSES WORLD PROBLEMS (Continued from page one) Bowell, member of the imperial war cabinet. Sherwood Eddy, recently returned from a world wide survey of econo- [ mic and social conditions, asked re peatedly the question, “Is America 98 per cent all right?” He at tempted to answer this question by scoring the Ku Klux Klan and lynehings, the theory of the so called superiority of the white race, and the self-satisfied life led by American college youth who are either ignorant of world affairs or ignore them. “There must be no more war! ’ was his cry of warn ing to the delegates. Paul Blanchard Speaks Paul Blanchard, medical mis sionary in Arabia, known as the “Apostle of the Desert,” declared a league of modern industrialism is more far-reaching than the League j of Nations. Two two-hour periods were de voted to group discussions where j students had the opportunity to ex- j press themselves on any of the j problems that concerned them or : their schools. In 40 out of the 49 groups race prejudice was the ma- j jor topic for discussion. War and the youth movement came next, while the question of the danger of imposing a western civilization on a so-called inferior eastern civiliza tion was one of the minor topics. The delegates who attended the ♦ convention from the University are: Mary Bartholomew, Mary Donald son, Charlotte Winnard, Edith Howe, Helen Andrews, Ethlyn For-1 rest, Ed Kirtley, Orlando Hollis, Paul Krausse, Arthur Everett, Ar thur Gray, James Stewart, Lester Tumbaugh, Henry Davis, from the Y. M. C. A., and Bruce J. Giffin, student pastor. Delegates to Give Beports The delegates will' give their re ports of the convention in the vari ous churches, business men’s clubs, to the student body and other o: ! ganizations on and off the campu Discussion groups will be forme in the near future in which an student in the University will b . permitted to take part in the di: cussiou of worldwide issues an national and international prol | lems. Announcements of thes groups will appear later in the En erald, as well as articles dealin in detail with these problems. • FIRST VISIT TO FIFTH AVENUE IS THRILLINI (Continued from page one) teachers as among the leading insti tutions of its kind in the Unitei States. “Dean Hale’s new work, ‘The Lai of the Press,’ was rated during th convention by Prof. N.

New York IS BEING SHELTERED Track Men to Train Under Cover During Winter With five carpenters creating a i workman-like din as they revamp i the outdoor gymnasium into a sheltered arena for his proteges to j develope, in, Bill Hayward is rear ing back in his armchair and grin ning at Old Mali Winter for the first time in a good many years of his service here at Oregon. Bill ex presses the hope of having his athletes learning their tricks under shelter before the end of this week. The straw has been hauled for the big mat, the buffer blocks con structed for the javelin throwers and shot putters, and Bill has even managed a successful arrangement | to record the power of the shot ! heavers. He said that the javelin ■buffer was too cumbersome to make la recording instrument work with. jNew hurdles of a lighter variety have also been constructed and the block to hold the shank of the | vaulting pole imbedded. Oregon has always, in the past, jbeen handicapped by lack of oppor tunity for early spring training; and while this will not be as ef llicient as the training quarters of | some of her track competitors, nevertheless, it is a great improve ment over the facilities of past years and promises, according to Mr. Hayward, to be of material as sistance in putting the team in shape for the hard • sessions they must face next spring.

Clark, of the extension division. During 1923, there were 947 stu dents enrolled in 1,288 courses com pared to 885 students enrolled in 1,110 courses in 1922. Every county in the state was represented, Lane and Multnomah counties having the largest number, said Dr. Clark. Eighty students were from outside the state, with representatives from Florida to Alaska, the Philippines and the Dutch West Indies. Students vary in age from 14 to 64 years, said Dr. Clark. The young est students are those taking en trance requirement courses. Dr. Clark said that on the whole, cor respondence students are older than the general average for the campus. The largest number of registra tions were in education, according to Dr. Cla>k, with English composi tion second; literature, third; mathe matics, fourth, and history, fifth. During the year, 9,895 papers were received and corrected. This num ber exceeded those received in 1922 t)v approximately 2,000. This | is due to the fact that the students did more work than last year, Dr. Clark believes. Correspondence students who are not residents of the state pay a registration fee which is three times as great as that charged Ore gon residents. HowAbout Your School Supplies?
