—
Week-end Committees Are;
Proceeding With Work
Following Campus Vote!
MAIN EVENTS ARE KEPT
High School Guests Will
be Rigidly Excluded;
Name Change Considered

Now that the student-body has
expressed itself as favoring a
Junior Week-end without guests,
and the student council has upheld
that opinion, the Junior Week-end
committee is getting to work again
to make the event as effective as
possible. The committees delayed
their work for a week or two while
awaiting the decision of the coun
cil.
“The present plan,” says Ed
Tapfer, general chairman, “is to
keep the events of the vod-vil, the
canoe fete and the junior prom.
There will be no high school track
meet, and in all probability no
campus luncheon. The Junior Week
end committee will co-operate in
seeing that no guests are wished
on the houses. The elimination of
the high school athletic meet will
be an aid in this line, as it drew
a large number of preppers last
year.”
Opinions Are Desired
“The campus luncheon has been
regarded by many as an unneces- i
sary evil and if there are no guests ■
it will have even less excuse for
existing,” says Tapfer. “If the stu
dents have other opinions on the
subject, the committee will appre
ciate their comments.”
The publicity committee will
start at onfe to publish the action
of the student body' throughout the
state, so that the houses may meet <
no embarrassment in writing to i
their guests and telling them that •
the old plan has been abolished. <
The directorate is seriously con
sidering the proposition of chang- :
ing the name of Junior Week-end ,
in order to make the new plan a i
distinctive affair and to obviate any
hard feeling on the part of the
high school students in the state.
No decision has been reached on
this plan. The committee declares ;
itself ready to put over as good ,
a Junior Week-end as Oregon has ,
ever had, for the enjoyment of the i
student body.
i Prom Plans Secret
There will be enough perform
ances of the vod-vil so that every
one can see it. For the canoe fete
sufficient bleachers will be placed
along the race to take care of the
entire crowd. The prom committees
are meeting at short intervals and
report that clever ideas have been
adopted, though their nature is be
ing held secret. The program, dec
oration, feature, floor, refresh
ments and patron committees are
working at the present time.
The canoe fete will be conducted
on the same plan as before, men’s

Frolicking Frosh
Hopeful Hosts at
Glad Glee Tonighl
Tonight we will hear the shriek
of the green cappers. Tonight we
will gleefully gambol down to the
green gafuzzle and glide glibbly
over the gay boards.
The order of the Green has
promised to have the maple spot
less and decked out in a new
coat of hair tonic and resin. Dec
orations for the big palace of
scamper will be in place by the
time the all-University hop-Scotcli
swings into action. The decora
tions are secret, so we can ’t tell
you about ’em, because we don’t
know ourselves.
But we might let you in on
some of it at that. They’re go
ing to be \yhat you think they
ain’t.
Yes, it’s going to be a gay
brawl, the best the green will
sling this year. It ’ll be well worth
the price of admission, even if
you have to haul her there in a
taxi. We’re in the temperate zone,
but still you can get dates, so if
you haven’t done so, rattle the
receiver and ring her up for the
glide given by the green tonight.
LOANED TO MUSEUM
Exhibition Will Continue
Until February 8
Two European antique chairs have
>een loaned by Mrs. B. L. Bogart,
)f Eugene, to the exhibition of arts
tnd crafts in the little .museum in
lie arts building. The textiles,
vhich come from the Portland Arts
ind crafts sopiety, have been on dis
day during the past week, and now
he chairs may be seen with them.
The small chair, which Mrs. Bogart
Drought with her from Italy, is of
valnut, upholstered in gorgeous red
Venetian brocade. It was obtained
in her last' year’s trip abroad. It
s an antique, possibly of the last of
lie sixteenth or the first of the sev
nteentli century period.
The larger chair is French design,
nade by Lionel C. Algoran, a friend
if Mrs. Bogart’s. The upholstering,
lone in petit point of quaint birds
n browns, greens, and soft blues,
vith touches of red and yellow, was
unbroidered by Mrs. Bogart herself.
The entire exhibit will last until
February 8. The paintings by Emil
lacques, Belgian painter, will be on
lisplay in the museum until Febru
iry 3, when a collection of wood
dock prints will arrive to be hung.
Die paintings will then be sent on to
Portland.
HEATING PLANT STILL
USING SLAB WOOD
Due to the lack of a part of the
notor, the University heating plant
s still using slab wood, instead of
;he hog fuel, which they intend to
lse la'er. The machinery is ex
aected soon, and according to H. M.
fisher, superintendent of buildings
md grounds, can be installed with
in the space of two or three hours,
rwo of the three boilers have been
in use since Christmas, and the third
will be ready soon.
Education Urgent Necessity
in China, Says C. K. Edmunds
By Marian Lowry
“No more efficient effort can be
made to create a spirit of friend
ship,' and of closer co-operation be
tween the United States and China,
than the preparation of an adequate
and capable corps of teachers by
America for the Chinese schools.”
It was Dr. Charles K. Edmunds,
president of Caston Christian col
lege. China, speaking. Eo is on
the campus until Saturday night, j
with the purpose of meeting pro- [
speetive candidates for positions as
teachers in the Canton institution. J
“The desire of the Chinese peo- I
pie for education, can not be mea
sured. It is extreme. They are j
flocking to the schools in greater |
numbers than can be taken care
of,” he said.
Dr. Edmunds has been connected !
4
with the Canton college since it
was founded in 1903. From 1903
to 1907 he acted as professor of
physics, and since 1907 he has been
president of the institution.
“There are unlimited opportuni
ties in China for teachers,” Dr. Ed
munds said. “Canton Christian col
lege offers an unusual chance, in
that the medium of the institution
is English. Instructors there teach
in English, but they are expected
in time to learn the native language.
“Our campus consists of 200
acres. It is located on an island
not far from Canton, which is the
second largest non-Christian city in
the world, and the largest in China.
“There are 1,000 pupils in the
institution, all of whom live in

STAGE ALL SET
FIS FROSH GLEE
Big Social Affair of Year
Will be Staged at 8:30
This Evening Down Town
MOTIF IS KEPT SECRET
Decorations and Programs
to be New and Original,
Those in Charge Promise
' The Frosh glee, biggest and most
important event for the entire stu
’dent body during the winter term,
will be held tonight, beginning at
S:30 in the armory. Members of
every class in the University will be
guests of the freshmen class.
Preparations for tonight’s dance,
under the management of Bob Love,
‘have been actively under way for the
three weeks past. Although the na
ture of the decorations has been kept
secret by the committee, the general
motif is said to be appropriate for
occasion. Carpenters, architects,
and painters have been called into
service to make the hall into a new
place. The features and programs
will be original and novel.
Music to be Better
“The programs will be in a unique
shape which will make them valuable
momentos of an enjoyable evening,”
says Chairman Love, “and the spe
cial placing of the orchestra prom
ises to give greater volume to the
music than usual.” The Mid Night
Sons will furnish the music.
The. checkroom facilities at the
armory have been increased in order
to adequately hande the large crowd
that is expected to attend, and there
will be punch, of the right kind to
mitigate the thirst of the dancers.
Committee is Listed
Freshmen men are supposed to take
only freshmen women to the glee,
according to tradition, says Dean
John Straub, although freshmen wo
men may go with upperclassmen if
they choose.
The committee chairmen under
Bob Love have spent much time, ef
fort, talent, and money in order to
insure the glee being a success. They
are: decorations, James Forestel;
features, Carmalita Hadley; pro
grams, Morton Coke; patrons and pa
tronesses, Holt Slaughter; music,
Billy O’Bryant; and refreshments,
Frances Strange.
DEAN WRITES ARTICLE
Discussion of Motion Pictures in
Demand by Libraries
“Several eastern libraries have.
sent requests to the University ex- j
tension division for an article which j
recently appeared in the visual in- (
struction number of the extension
Monitor, written by Earl Kilpat- j
rick, dean of extension division,” i
said Alfred Powers, who is con-'
neeted with that department.
The article, which is titled “Mo
tion Pictures in Education,” is an j
original discusson of motion pic- j
tures by Mr. Kilpatrick, and was j
used to some extent by him in the 1
Portland summer session of the
University as well as over the radio
before being printed in the Moni
tor, Mr. Powers said.
FIRST TEAM WINS GAME
Easy Victory Gained in Women’s
Class Basketball Series
In the women’s class basketball
game played Wednesday night, the
first freshman team beat the third
freshman team with a score of 38
to 18. Ragged playing and a lack
of teamwork were noticable
throughout the game, due to the
fact that the members of the teams
are not yet used to playing to
gether.
Both teams failed to complete
passes, largely through the slow
work of the centers. The third
team guards, Ruth Crofton and
Francis Dodds, did good work in
holding down the opposing players.
Vesta Scholl and Genevieve Spears,
forwards for the first team, played
the best game for the winners. j
Dark, Very Dark;
the Door Locked
a Deserted Maid
The Friend in Need is
a F riend Indeed
Tt was dark, very dark, for it
was tiie hour after dinner time.
The doors were locked; the windows
were too high for a maid to jump
out unassisted; the campus was
deserted. She was an Emerald
reporter; she must hurry; but
there she was—locked fast within
the palatial walls of the old journ
alism shack.
The time dragged on. Again
and again she tried the door, but it
remained locked and resisted all
efforts. Again and again her de
sire to dare almost overcame her
as she approached the window pre
paratory to jumping. Each time
she hesitated.
And then—well, miracles always
happen in such cases. Three of
her scribe friends approached, and
when they heard her call, one
grabbed her books, and the other
two helped her descend from the
window.
It happened that the night
watchman, like most campus per
sons, unable to keep track of Em
erald reporters, locked the place
up.
IS
Students Urged to Keep
Pace With Progress
Educational vision was the plea of
Dr. A. E. Winsliip in his assembly
(address yesterday. He impressed up
on his audience the value of far
sightedness in educational projects,
emphasizing the necessity of keeping
up with the progressive views and
ideas of this day.
In that lino Dr. Winship, editor
of the .Tournal of Education and
prominent in that field, pointed out
that the plan of education had pro
gressed from public education to de
mocracy in education, thata is, mak
ing it possible for a greater number
of persons than ever before. This
plan is progressing, because within
the last eight years attendance all
over the United States in high schools
has doubled.
“We are living in a time when it
is better to know the world and
where it is going than where it came
from,” he said, showing the value of
keeping up with the progress of the
world. To illustrate his point he
drew parallel cases between the pro
gress that education must make and
the progress that has been made in
Various lines of industry. The s’ik
industry shows this in the new pro
cess of making silk from wood, dis
pensing with the silk worms. The
coal industry shows the same bene
fits of the progressive idea. From
the great waste that there used to
be in gases and pitch in making coke
in the old-fashioned wav have been
made by-products worth more than
the coke itself. “I want to empha
size that we have to learn in c loca
tion, as elsewhere,” summarized Dr.
Winship, “that you will find, where
you least expect it, this power, these
benefits to mankind.”
A place where education could
bring out such benefits, pointed out
Dr. Winship, is in the case of the
eight million boys and girls in the
country who would be benefitted by
the program carried on by the beys
and girls clubs throughout the states,
As it stands seven hundred thousand
boys and girls receive this training
and produce products valued at
$8,000,000. Tf the rest were edu
cated along the same line, he said,
the result would be astounding.
Tn concluding, Dr. Winship urged
that all students realize that they
must keep pace with progress and
that back of tlicir studies was their
chief business to do something for
God and humanity.

Game to be First Real Test
For Varsity Basketeers;
Washington Determined
VISITORS RATED STRONG
Oregon to Have Chance at
Trying Quick Pass Work
on Veteran Hoop Team
The first real test for the varsity
basketball team comes Monday
evening when the Webfooters tackle
the league leading Hu'skie five from
Washington. A good idea of how
the local quintet will stack in the
conference race may be gleaned
from the game Monday.
Washington is the first real team
the varsity goes up against. While
the pre-season games have not
been setups, they have proved easy
I for the Webfooters and have re
j suited in lop-sided scores.
Huskies are Powerful
Tlie Huskies are invading Oregon
with the intention of returning to
the Seattle encampment with their
belts loaded with scalps. They
have a powerful team with a num
ber of veterans. Frayne and
Hesketh make up the forward com
bination. Both have been in ac
tion before against the varsity and
know the game. Anderson, Welts,
Gardner and Fronde are not new
at the court game. They helped
defeat the Aggies at Seattle last
week.
In going against the Huskies,
Oregon will have a chance to find
out i how the quick pass system
works against an A1 team. So far
the varsity five has had little
trouble working the ball down the
floor into the enemy’s territory and
registering points.
Oregon Lineup Strong
Likewise the defensive play of
the Webfooters will receive its
first real baptism. Very few of the
opposition have been able to pene
trate the five-man defense per
fected by Reinhart, and have had
to be content with long shots, very
few of which were good.
The big six will undoubtedly
bear the brunt of the coming tiff.
Hobson, Gowans, Latham, Shafer
and Chapman have been working
well together and King fits right
in when he is sent in for relief
duty, dost is improving daily and
may get a chance at the northern
squad Monday.
After the Washington game
comes the Aggie series, and Ore
gon ’s chances against the Corvallis
hoopers can be judged somewhat by
; the showing made against the
| Huskies.
HANDBALL GAMES WON
Bachelordon in Line For Trophy ;
Phi Delt Wins Its Games
Having won the final game in
its league, the Bachelordon hand
ball aggregation now remains un
defeated, and in direct line for the
trophy. Yesterday at 4 p. m. the
Bachelordon pair wore easily vic
; torious over the Delta Tau Delta
! combination by a score of 21-2,
j 21-15. With little difficulty, the
Bachelordon pair, Patterson and
Garner, defeated the Delta, repre
sented by Heerlt and Boyd.
In the second game of the after
noon, the Phi Delta Theta handball
squad defeated the Kappa Delta
If hi aggregation by a very close
' margin. The score of the contest
was 23-21, 21-19. As both teams
played an aggresseve game and at
a fast pace, it was difficult to judge
the winner, until the last point
had been scored. Playing on tho
winning team were Staley and
Powers, while the Kappa Delta Phi
| combination was -made up by Rob
j inson and Brooks.
PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENTS

pledging of Lloyd Franks of Oakes

Winter’s Cold Is
No Deterrent to
Women Plungers
Swimming in the race at this
time of the year is generally a
matter of compulsion and one is
I usually propelled into the icy
waters by too willing hands. But
tlirce girls claim the honor of bc
, ing the first to go swimming in
I tho mill race this year of their
own accord. But a greater won
der than that is that they really
! enjoyed the icy plunge.
“It was marvelous,” said one
' of the trio. “It surely made me
feel good.” The other two were
j equally loud in their praise of
i winter swimming. It was real
winter swimming, too, because
they went in yesterday afternoon
j when tho sun was A. W. O. L.
The names of the girls are
! withheld, but if anyone wishes
j to contest their claim to honor,
j one of them is a junior, tall and
well known around the journalism
i shack. The other two aro fresh
J men. Besides, one can probably
| tell who the girls are by picking
j out the three girls with tho worst
[ colds ou the campus.
MATERIALS CLASSES
Laboratories Will Replace
Old Steam Plant
‘‘The brick chimney of the old
steam plant is .just about torn
down, and before long now the
classes in strength of materials
will have a new laboratory,” said
Professor E. H. McAJister, head of
department of materials and as
tronomy. “ We expect to be in
stalled in our new laboratory somo
time after the first of March,” lie
said.
The work in tearing down the
old chimney has progressed slowly.
The bricks were pried up one by
one by workmen using a crow-bar,
and then dropped through tho four
foot square hole in the chimney to
the ground below, rather than out
side, to prevent them from falling
on people passing by.
The two old boilers in the plant
have been taken out and soon tho
installing of radiators, the concrete
floor, and partitions wild begin.
The 1,600 square feet of floor space
to be used by Mr. McAlister’s ma
terials class is to be partitioned off
into three rooms of about the same
si/.e. This means that each room
will have a little more than 500
square feet of floor space.
One of the rooms is to be used
for testing cement and concrete,
'[’here will be an arrangement for
preparing concrete and other ma
terials in a second room. In tho
■ third room a large testing machine
is to be installed. This machine
will be capable of exerting a pres
sure of 200,000 pounds. Electric
motors will be used to operate all
machinery in the laboratory.

In a regular Frank Merriwell
finish, the varsity morraen took the
green cappers into camp by a final
score of 30 to 29 last night in the
Woman’s building tank. The med

man of the meet with a total of
15 points, taking first in the 40
yard backstroke, 80-yard dash and

“Be in the Game That Is Going
to BeSays Dr. A. E. Winship
By Catherine Spall
“ F want to be in the game that
is going to be,” declared the white
haired man as he looked out over
the campus from the largo window
in the President’s office, with his
blue-gray, far-seeing eyes, earnest,
intent, and serious. The simple
i statement was the substitution Dr.
Albert Edward Winship, educator,
i editor, and lecturer, offered for a
philosophy. “I’in always seeing the
things that are, in relation to things
as they are going to be.”
Tn appearance Dr. Winship strik
ingly reminds one of Olemenceau.
Short in stature and inclined to be
plump, he has a white mustache, a
firm mouth, and a broad, intelligent
j forehead. Tntriguirfg and individual
! are his buttoned bulldog-toed shoes
with shiny new rubbers he wears
over them—he is far-sighted when it
comes to Oregon weather.
“I think we are getting away from
crystallized and petrified convention
ality in our colleges, without running
wild on individuality,” stated the ed
ucator, who is cautious in committing
himself. “College students always
have been of two classes—tlioso that
are mostly conventional, and the
cranky ones that are individual. Col
leges are developing more personality
than ever before.
“There will always be those who
live in the past, with a scholarship
past rather than an educational pre
sent. In every institution there are
those who get a social, civic, eduea
