VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. WEDNESDAY. KERRI'ARY (’>. 1TJ4 NUMBER R9 ART STUDENTS TO TOUR EUROPE Professor Schroff Will Con duct Two Month Trip Abroad in the Summer PARTY TO SAIL IN JULY France, Italy, England and Switzerland Included in Itinerary as Planned A two month’s tour of Europe, .England, Holland, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium and .France, will be conducted this summer by Alfred H. Sehroff, head of the fine arts of the University. The trip which will cost about $800 has been planned especially for art students, but others have !► signified their interest also. Mrs. Sehroff, herself a painter of minia tures, will accompany her husband. The complete itinerary, planned by Charles Egon Bell, Pacific Coast manager of the intercollegiate tours, is just off the press. Many Prizes Won Mr. Sehroff lived for. some time in Europe earlier in his career. He studied antique stained .glass in England and France, and visited old cathedrals and museums. He has won a medal for stained glass at Kingston, Jamaica in an interna tional competition, and since taking up painting instead of glass designs and execution, he has become known as a jpainter of brilliant landscapes. Last year he won two first prizes given in the west—one awarded by1 the Seattle Fine Arts society, and one in competition with artists from all over the Unit ed States at an exhibit in Spring ville, Utah. Lectures by Mr. Sehroff will be given on board ship and at each place visited. The party will sail from Mont real, Canada, on the S. S. “Doric” of the White-Star Dominion line, July 5. Two days will be spent on the St. Lawrence river, and the ocean will be crossed by the shortest route. Arrival in Liverpool will be July 13. From Liverpool, England, the train will be taken to Chester, that quaint medieval town which still keeps its atmosphere of the past. Complete Plans Made Five days, from July 15 to 19, inclusive, will be spent in London, and July 20, 21 and 22 in Amster dam, Holland. While in Amster dam they will see, along with other art treasures, the famous “Night •Watch” by Rembrandt. Antwerp and Brussels, Belgium, will be visited on July 23 and 24, and the train will be taken through Luxembourg and Lorraine on July 25. Notable stone-carving and the great cathedral at Strasbourg will be seen on July 26. Lucerne, the loveliest city in Switzerland, with its panorama of the Alps and its stone lion, will be reached on July , 27. A train will be taken to St. Go^liart and on to Milan in the fol lowing two days. Leonardo’s “Last Supper” can be seen at Milan. Many Stops in Italy Venice, with its Bridge of Sighs, its palaces, thP bronze horses above St. Mark’s—a city still showing (Continued on page four) Law Dean Decides Canes Are Correct for Campus Use “They want to know why you don't carry one.” This statement brought forth an amused laugh from William G. Hale, dean of the school of law, as he leaned back in the swivel chair at his desk. “Well, I’ll tell you why I haven’t carried a cane. When I graduated from high school, really an acad emy, at Forrest Grove, our class adopted that symbol and I invested in a cane. “Among the treasures that my mother put away to keep is that cane. If 1 can locate and retrieve i that cane, which is at my mother’s home in Portand, I shall appear fully decked out with it. “When I first saw the law i students equipped with these I in- j quired whether it was sinister or I not. Ho injury has come thus faT, j and I believe the members of the law faculty should arm themselves. I’m glad* to cooperate and expect in the near future to appear on the campus with a cane.” WILLAMETTE GLEE TO SING HERE SOON Club To Make Extensive Tour This Season The Willamette University men’s glee club will be heard in concert Friday evening, February 15, in the Methodist Episcopal church of Eu gene. The club is reported to be one of the outstanding musical groups of the northwest, offering an extensive repertoire of both heavy and light numbers. The club is making an extensive trip this year, including many towns in Southern Oregon and Western Washington as far as Vancouver, British Columbia. The tour spon sored by the club last year, which proved very successful, covered some two thousand miles, and included concerts in thirty of the more im portant cities. Among the features which are highly commended this year is the Willamette Yell King, Poe Nee, in Scottish Highlander costume, singing his famous Scotch melodies. Lloyd Thompson, prominent on the Willa mette campus, will carry tV solo part. Byron Arnold, a piano soloist j cf excellent technique, is the acoom-1 pan i st. The University of Oregon glee club will support the concert in every way j pofcible, said .Tohn Stark Evans, top director. The success of the Oregon glee club conee-t ir. Salem last year. was ii a great pait due to the whole hearted support extended by the mem bra of the Willamette glee club and student body. it i" the opinion of many on h1 can 7 us that the Willamette Uni.vr ,;itv glee club deserves the 311 to ■ of the entire Univm sity of Orog m s’n-1 de t body, and it is the w ^if every stvdent to make the co ic^rt a success SENIOR WOMEN WIN FROM SOPHOMORES 40 to 16 The senior women were victors over the sophomores, team 2, in a basket ball game played last night. The score was 40 to 16. The Quinlan twins, for the seniors, showed up well with their usual good teamwork and basket shooting. Betty Alexander, for the sophomores, made almost all of the points annexed by the losers. Audience Is Charmed by First of Stuart Walker Plays Amid a wonderfully artistic set ting, which seemed but a natural background for the ease and finished acting of the players, the first per formance of the Stuart Walker Port manteau plays was given before a large house last evening at the Heilig theater A thoroughly artistic production, with all of the studied effects, which seemed but natural to the uneducated eye. but each of which had perhaps caused the artist days or months of concentrated effort to produce. A finished characterization in ev ery sense of the word hardly express es the performance of George Soinnes, lead in “The Gods of the Moun tains.” Not, only was he faced with a difficult part in that he had the task of carrying the audience with him into a totally foreign environ ment, but he was fully equal to what was required of him. The setting for the scenes of this play, added much to the effect upon the audience, the deep blue of the sky as a background for a jutting peak of green, and in the foreground, the temple with the gods seated in a semi-circle around the sacrificial altar. “The Very Naked Boy,” a whim (Continued on page two.)

SIGMA CHI LEADS III PENTATHLON Woodward Makes Record in Bar Vault; Fast Time is Chalked up in Swim McCABE HIGH POINT MAN Lyle Palmer and Lamont Stone Tie in Tank Event; Delt Team Takes Second The intramural pentathlon open ed last night in the men's gymnas ium with the bar valut and swim ming as the first two events to be run off. The Sigma Chis are leading in the first two events of the pentatlialon with a total of 173 points. Delta Tau Delta is the runner-up so far with 154 points, while Phi Sigma Pi is third with 147. Some very good marks have been set in the events listed so far and in both the average points scored were higher than ever before. Don Woodward now holds the - record in the bar vault by boosting him self over the bar at 6’ 10”. A ma jority of the contestants did bet ter than 6 feet. Very good time was chalked up in the swim, with nearly all of the entrants navagat ing the five lengths in the 60 foot tank, taking four laps any fashion and one on the back, in considerably less than two minutes. Lyle Palmer and Lamont Stone tied for the best time in the event with 1:11 2-5. Good Records Made Bob McCabe held the high point honors for the two events with 55 points, and he was followed in or; der by Lamont Stone and Lyle Pal mer with 54 apiece, Price with 47, and Don Woodward with 46.

The meet will I precede the O. A. C. Rook-Frosh basketball game. This is the first meet for the freshmen and is more to furnish ex perience for the future varsity grapplers. : Tl.^1 definite weights are unknown but is is probable that either five or six bouts will be staged. Coach Widmer lias been pitting the babes against the var sitv grapplers and they have been showing real stuff in the workouts. Jim Cossman has been chosen to referee the meet. A meet with O. A. C. rooks is being arranged but as yet the date is indefinite. CLIQUE SPIRIT LIMITS STUDENT LIFE MENTALLY AND SPIRITUALLY, SAID WOODROW WILSON All University Will Pay Respect to Man as Educator, President and Leader; Regular Assembly Address for Thursday Changed By C. X. H. In niinory of the war president of America, Woodrow Wilson,, the topic regularly scheduled for discusssion at the University assembly next Thurs day has been hurriedly postponed and a review and estimate of Mr. Wil son by Deau Henry D. Sheldon sub stituted. The University administra tion felt this the proper thing to do in view of the very apparent con centration of campus thought upon the passing of the ex-prosident. Thursday, the University faculty and students alike will pay respect not only to Mr. Wilson, president of the United States during the World War, but to Woodrow Wilson, edu cator and leader in time of peace. As leader of the American nation, President Wilson expressed his goal and ideal in that much bandied speech, “To make the world safe for democracy.” As a college president, "Mr. Wilson stmul no leas for democratic student life and organization. He struck hard at the “clique” system in vogue at Princeton during the days of his administration A former Princetonian reminisces: “While standing informally in the smoking room in our junior and sen ior clubs after dinner, he would tell the men that the whole club system was undemocratic and wrong. ‘You men are limiting your owu mental and spiritual growth by moving off in these little cliques’ he would say.” The clubs mentioned by the for mer • student of Princeton quoted above, were simply eating and loaf ing clubs and provided no sleeping quarters, inasmuch as the dormitory system was enforced bv the univer sity administration, said W. P. G. Thacher of our own campus. These (Continued on page three) VARSITY SWIMMERS TO MEET REED HERE Portland Team Has Several Multnomah Stars The varsity swimming team will meet the Reed college team, of Port land, Friday afternoon at 3:15, in the tank at the Woman’s building. Reed college has several Multnomah club stars on the team which indi cates that the visitors will have a fast bunch of swimmers. Tn the meet with the freshmen, the varsity showed that a little more training will put them in line for a top berth in meets with other teams. Lyle Palmer, who took first in the 40-yard event during the frosh meet, has been showing his old time form. He also ran Lombard a close second in the 80 yard dash. McCabe has been coming to the front and tied Palmer in the 40-yard dash. Yoran seems to have the edge over the other inen in the backstroke. Athough Lombard and Stone of the frosh fin ished ahead of him, with a little more training Yoran should be in line to carry off a first place Horsfall has been going strong in the dives and in the 220 Ho gave tin exhibition of high-class diving in the frosh meet. A1 Sinclair is the strong man ill the breast stroke. The r#lay team composed of McCabe, Yoran, Horsfall, and Palmer, won the event by a close margin. In the Heed meet it is likely that the var sity will cop the event as the frosh were as strong opponents as any team that the varsity can expect to meet. Herron, who specialized in the sprints, will probably be seen in ac tion against the Heed aquatic aggre gation. He has been out with a strained back but is rapidly rounding into condition. The distances of the events may be lowered as both teams are not in the best of condition, for so early in the season. Eight events have been list ed on the program, consisting of 50 yard dash, 100 yard backstroke, 100 yard dash, diving, 220 yard dash, plunge, and 160 yard relay. Four nien will represent each team in the relay and each man will swim two laps, or 40 yards. There is probability that Reed 'college will bring a frosh team to nieet the local yearling team. The frosh under the tutelage of Don Park have developed a strong squad bf swimmers. DR. HODGE PRESENTS PLAN TO DRAIN CITY’S AMAZON Professor Edwin T. Ilodge of the geology department talked on the 'drainage of the Amazon, at the Fair mount Christian ehureh to the East Side Community club last night. Mr. Thompson, an engineer from Seattle, had proposed a plan for the redemp tion of these low lands and Dr. Hodge presented this plan last night after having studied it carefully in relation to the immediate situation. DEBATE TO BE FEBRUARY 14 Franco - German Problem Will Be Discussed Members of the women’s debate squad are hard at work on the ques tion for the Willamette-O. A. C. Oregon debate which is to be hold a week from tomorrow, February 14. The four Oregon girls who will participate in this contest are Doro thy Abbott, Margaret Woodson, Mildred Whitcomb, and Mildrod Bateman. The Oregon affirmative, com posed of Mildred Bateman and Mil dred Whitcomb, will meet Willa mette at Salem. Margaret Wood son and Dorothy Abbott will re main hero and face the O. A. C. team. The names of the O. A. C. girls have not yet been received, but Willamette has announced its team as consisting of Elaine Oberg, Lila Geyer, Esther Moyer, Nadic Strayer Eluine Glower, and Caroline Tail man. Two of these girls have probably been selected as alterna tes to the regular team. Miss Oberg is the only member of the squad who has had previous experience on a Willamette team. The Franco German problem is the question at issue for this de bate. The proposition is, “Re solved; that France should immed iately evacuate the Ruhr.” Gerrit Dommink, of the written and spoken English department, is coaching the Oregon girls. He meets with them daily for practice in both constructive and rebutal speech work. - BICGHLER IS RECOVERING FROM SURGICAL OPERATION I Edward Bicgliler, sophomore in the romance language department, was operated on for appendicitis Satur day. He was reported as recovering nicely today though he is still at the Eugene hospital. EARL RETURNS FBI TBIP FIST Athletic Director’s Choice For Football Mentor to be Announced Soon MONTH’S TOUR IS MADE Executive Council to ;Pass On Decision Reached in Journey Through Country By Monte Byers iu a very short while wo ought to know who will direct the destiny of Oregon's gridiron machine for the coming year. Virgil Earl, athle tic director of the University, ar rived homo yesterday ready to make his recommendation to the athletic committee. Earl has just completed a month’s tour which took him through California, up through the middle states, and over into the eastern section of the country. What information he has concern ing the coach who will handle th0 reins next year he is withholding until the proper time comes to let it out. Bari’s Mind Made up His mind is definitely made up and it will remain for the athletic committee of the executive council and the executive council itself to decide upon the mentor he has in mind for the position. Should everything go smoothly through the different channels and the president’s approval secured, all that will be left to do is notify the mentor of Earl’s choice and tell him to check his dunnage to Eugene in time for spring practice. News To Break Soon Campus followers of the situation are anxious to hear who the future football chief is and the news ought to break within the immediate future. Without doubt Claude Robinson, president of the A. S. U. O., will call a meeting today or to night, and the question will be set tled. In the month’s tour Earl has combed the field for the best coaches available. Some he found tied up to contracts, others in posi tions they did not care to leave. He has seen over two dozens mentors and with the knowledge of football and coaches which he possesses it is certain that the man he has in mind for recommendation will be able to deliver the goods. Whoever the new coach is, he will have something to sail with when he takes the tiller of the Ore gon football ship. Good Men Developed Shy Huntington has loft some good men. ITe has recently de veloped others,and these men ought to be ripe for next year. A promis ing array is coining up from the freshmen ranks, providing they keep away from ’’Old Man flunk.” Oregon will now have to sit back and wait again for action from the council committee. Earl is ready and all those in the know are anx ious to get the deal over and be sure of a competent coach for next year’s campaign. If the choice is made, and we have every reason to believe that, it will be, Oregon can settle back and wait for the new mentor to take the reins. Professor Recalls Wilson as President of Princeton Merton K. Cameron, assistant professor of economies, is one of the Oregon faculty vvlio happens to have been an undergraduate at Princeton University during the ad ministration of the late Woodrow Wilson. His reminiscences of the great personality who directed the affairs of that institution bear out in the main the general opinion held of him as a statesman. Pro fessor W. F. Thacher, of the school of journalism was also a former pupil of Wilson. “Woodrow Wilson as university president was the same idealist he proved to be as the nation’s ex ecutive,” said Professor Camoron. ‘‘1 remember one particular /in stance of the autocracy employed to bear out his attitude toward his fellow men. In the face of great adversity he discharged from the ' university a professor who had seen forty years of service. This he did apparently without any reason at all, and at least, without giving him the customary hearing. The (Continued on page four.)
