VARSITY DEBATE
SET FOR FRIDAY
Triangular Event is Epoch
in Oregon Forensics
TEAM IS EXPERIENCED
British Columbia Negative
to Come to Eugene
Friday night Oregon’s men debat
ers are going to meet the Universi- !
ties of Idaho and British Columbia
in a triangular debate, and when that
event takes place, something in the
nature of an epoch in Oregon’s "de-1
bate history will be made, for it hos
been many years since an Oregon de
bate team has met a team from north
of the Canadian-American border.
Tn fact, it is quite out of the mem
ory of the “oldest inhabitant”.
Large Crowd Desired
Nor has there been a debate with
Idaho for some time. So there will
be something new all around. With
comparatively brand-new adversaries,
an interesting, timely question, and
experienced men on the squad, there
is no reason why the entire student
body, not to mention the faculty and
townspeople, should not turn out lo ^
the contest, which \y.ill be held in ,
Villard hall at 7:15 Friday night,.
January 18. Forensic heads, real-(
izing that the class parties would
perhaps prevent many persons from
attending the debate, have scheduled
it for an early hour, so that it will ,
he entirely possible to get dinner, '
the debate, and a class party all in
one evening.
Subject is Timely
Tn the opinion of Gerrit Demmink,
coach of debate, the question, Ro
solvcd, that the United States should
immediately recognize the present
Soviet government of Russia—is a
splendid one. “I think quite the
finest that T have seen,” is the way
ho expresses it.
Mr. Demin ink explains his satisfac
tion with the question on the grounds
of its timeliness and intrinsic inter
est.
“The debate is not going to bo
dull and uninteresting just because
this particular question has been tlio
subject of a forensic contest on this ,
campus once before this year,” ho i
declared, “for since that time tho
question has bocoine oven more a pub- I
lie and burning one than before, j
The recent negotiations between
America and Soviet Russia havo
served to bring the Russian question
home to the American people.”
Negative Will Travel
The question seems particularly
appropriate to Osegon just now, com
ing as if does right upon the heels
of the portrayal of conditions in Rus
sia as given by K. T. Colton, inter
national Y. M. C. .A secretary, at
last Thursday’s assembly.
Ralph Bailey, .Toe Frazer, Walter
Malcolm, and Marion Dickey, all of :
whom were members of tho team
which won the state debate cham
pionship for Oregon at last term’s
Oregon O. A, C.-Roed contest, will<
U''hold Oregon in this triangle also.
Bailey and Frazer will take the af
firmative of the issue, meeting the
British Columbia negative here. Dicv
y.y and Malcolm will constitute the
negative to meet the Idaho team at
Moscow. The triangle will be com
pleted by the British Ooulmbia-Tdalio
debate 'it Vancouver, B. (’., where
the University of British Columbia
is located.
RECITALS ARE PLANNED
Second Student Rehearsal of Year
Will bo Given Saturday
The second student rehearsal of
the year, taking the form of an
informal recital, will bo given Sat
urdav afternoon, January titi, at
1:30 i>. in., in the lounge room of
the school of music.
Thoodroe Wnlstrum, of the school
of music, has charge of the affair,
and all faculty members presenting
it student are requested to hand in
their choice to him in the very near
future.
It is hoped by Mr. Wnlstrum and
other members of the school of
music faculty that this event will
prove as successful as the recital
held last month at which many
students and townspeople attended.
The school of music is planning to

“If Winter Comes” has been

NOVELS OF ANCIENT
. WORLD ATTRACTIVE
Dunn Collection Contains
Rare Old Volumes
Outstanding among the interesting
groups of books in the library is the
Frederic 8. Dunn collection of about
four hundred novels from ancient
times down to the Norman conquest.
The collection is valuable "because
many of the books are out of print j
and not, now procurable; also because
they are well selected and represent
definite and remote historical priods.
These books were collected from |
Paris, Rome, England and remote se- !
cond hand book stores. Gathering
them became a hobby with Professor
Dunn, who was always interested in
historical novels, and during his stu
dent days started this collection. For
20 or 25 years the collection grew
and is now completed up to the time
of the Xorman Conquest.
“While I began only in a meager
and modest sort of way in making
the collection,” says Professor Dunn,
“I was fascinated. When I began to
teach I discovered it was useful to re
•fer to books as illustrations. Then
it became a hobby and would have
been a dissipation—an intoxication,
so I stopped when completing the
group up to the Norman period.”
Oriental, Roman and Greek periods
are covered well by the collection
and in chronological order the classic
periods. Same of the books includ
ed in this interesting collection are:
“Omar the Tentmaker,” by Dole;
“Past Days of Pompeii,” by Sir E.
Bulwer Lytton; “Henry H>sen’s
Prose Dramas,”; “Nero,” by Steph
en Phillips; “The Quiet King,” by
Mason; “Joel, A,Boy of Galilee,”

COOPERATION IS ASKED
OF UNDERCLASS GIRLS
University Women to Take Charge
of Alumni Hall Few Hours
During Each Week
Since the completion of the Wo
man’s building, it has been the cus- i
tom for the women of the University
to take charge for a few hours each
week and relieve Mrs. Wilson, the
hostess. This is generally done by ■
freshmen women and has been con
sidered a duty of the class.
, Miriam Swartz has charge of pro
viding girls for this and she states
that the girls have been rather neg
ligent this year and have not con- i
sidered the responsibility very seri
ously. She asks for the cooperation
of the underclass girls.
Winifred Graham has charge of |
Friday afternoon, from 1 to 5; Mary j
Jane Hathaway, Tuesday evening,
from 7 to 9; and Ruth Crofton, Mon
day afternoon, from 1 to 5. There ■
is very little to be done, the prinei- j
pie thing being to be there, to an
swer the telephone, and to show oc- 1
occasional visitors about alumni hall. -
GARDEN PLANTED IN
ART BULDING COURT
Boxwood Hedges, Bircli Trees and
Flowers Are Planted by
Mauds Kerns
A gorgeous spot of color, in con
trast to the restful and formal sever
ity of the inner cloister of the school
of architectlre and arts building,
is to be furnished by the landscaping
of the outer court south of the arts
building facing the school of journal
ism. An informal garden is being
laid out, which will serve the art
students of the University, and of
Campus high school *ith a laboratory
for outdoor painting and sketching.
Work began yesterday, with the
laying out of a boxwood hedge, and
the transplanting of two birch trees
to the entrance of the gravel path. ■
A weeping willow is to be planted,
in the hope that there will some day
be a pool in which it can be reflect
ed. Cypress trees are planned for
the dark green effect against the
stucco walls. Beds of azalea will
furnish vivid flower effects, aqd tall
hollyhocks and fox-gloves will have
their season.
The landscaping effects were
planned by Miss Maude Kerns, head
of the normal arts. It is her hope
that the informal garden, begun in a
small way, may develop gradually,
supplying plants and shrubs for still
life studies, and adding to the color
effects of the building. The flowers
are to be planted so that one will
follow the other in season, keeping
the outer court always brilliant with
bloom.
