VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15. 1924 NUMBER 97 NEWSPAPERMEN CONVENE HERE Short Newswriting Course by Dean Dyment to be a Conference Feature DR. CROSLAND TO SPEAK Delegates from Most of State Papers Expected; Big Program Is Planned Today at 9 a. m. the sixth annual Oregon Newspaper conference offi cially opens with the registration of the visiting editors and pub lishers. This conference marks the growth of an idea since the small beginning in 1919. This year’s con ference will contain more features of interest to those engaged in all branches of the journalistic field than any previous session and there will be more representatives of these various branches here for the conference. Dyment to Speak One of the new features of the program is the “Short Course in Newswriting.” This will be con ducted by Dean Colin Y. Dyment, of the University. This feature was instituted by the school of jour nalism at the request of a num ber of newspapermen and trade journalists who wish to keep their newswriting up to the highest stan dards. Dean Dyment will be as sisted by a group of state news paper men who take special interest in the art of expression. “The Results of a Two Years’ Scientific Investigation of the Causes of Errors in Proofreading,” the topic that Dr. H. R. Crosland, professor of psychology, will pre sent at 9:30 this morning, is the release of a story that is likely to create wide interest and to present certain facts that will be beneficial in advancing proofreading stan dards. With the presentation of this subject, there will be a demon stration of methods that will add to its interest. Advance Guard Arrives All the features of the program for the conference have been designed to give the journalists of the state practical help. There will be dis cussions of problems pertaining to all branches of the journalistic field throughout today and Satur day. Newspapermen of the state, who have had actual experience with such problems will present the subjects. The advance guard of the news papermen arrived on the campus yesterday to attend the conference, and many more have written that they will arrive some time today. There are many who have signified their intention of attending and it is expected that there will be representatives from most of the papers of the state. The attendance is expected to range between 80 and 1Q0. Franklin Club Meets For the first time,' the Willamette Valley Ben Franklin club will meet simultaneously with the conference at the University. Many of the publishers are members of this club and will have further interest in the discussion otf printing prob lems. All sections of the news paper conference are planning for a larger attendance and a bigger program than ever before. For the joint session of all sec tions of the conference today, George P. Cheney, president, will be in the chair.

The public is cordially invited to come in and meet the visitors, and a special invitation is being extended to all women in the school of journalism. Last year in connection with the state editor’s convention. Theta Sigma Phi sponsored a meeting of all writers, including those whose interests were not strictly journal istic. Following the tea, sufficient time will be allowed for the visi tors to make ready for the editor’s banquet being held at the Hotel Osburn in the evening. CONCERT TONIGHT HAS Willamette Glee Club Is on Last Lap of Tour An especially interesting and varied program will be presented by the Willamette university glee club, which will appear in concert tonight at the Methodist church at S o’clock. ! The Willamette glee club comes here : under the auspices of the Wesley club, and members of the University of Ore gon men’s glee club are sponsoring the concert. Both popular and classical numbers will be sung by the club ensemble. “The Wreck of the Julie Plant,” a | stirring ballad by O ’Hara, will open ; the program. Lloyd Thompson, bari j tone soloist, will take the incidental j solo. Albert Warren will play the , famous “La Paloma.” by Yradier, on I the cornet. Mr. Warren is also a first tenor in the club. Two bari tone solos will be sung by Edward Warren, president of the club, and Mr. Lloyd Thompson. Select imper sonations by Lloyd Waltz will fur nish amusement. An interesting fea ture of the evening’s entertainment will be the Scotch songs by Joe Nee, ^Scotch singer. Mr. Nee will appear in Scottish highlander costume, so something of the Harry Lauder style is to be expected. The varied pro gram also includes a vaudeville skit by the club, the name of the act be ing “The Red Chamber Dream,” a Chinese opera selection. Perhaps the most important number on the pro gram will be the selection by the Willamette octette, “Where My Car avan Has Rested,” by Lohr. The octette is well known, having been enthusiastically received everywhere the club has sung. “The Willamette glee club had a very successful season last year, and they promise an even greater hit this year,” said Lyall Bolton, former mem ber of the Willamette university glee club, and now a student here, in an (Continued on page three) CONDON SCHOOL HAS LOAN OF PRINTS FOR EXHIBITION A hundred Colonial prints of famous paintings, reproduced direct ly from the originals, have been loaned to the Condon school by the Colonial Art company. These prints have an individual charm and em brace a large measure of the recog nized art treasures of the world. They will be on exhibition at the Condon school from 2 to 5 on the afternoons of Febrtfary 20, 21, 22; also on Friday evening, from 7:30 to 9. The public is invited. Early Italian Designs Found in Hangings at Art Gallery Dull blue and black velvets, heavy frith metal stencil, some with 15th and J6th century Italian designs, are to be seen among the wall hangings from the J. Monroe Hewlett studios in New York which are now on ex hibit in the little gallery in the arts building. The gallery will be open to the public beginning at 9 o ’clock this morning, and the hangings will remain on display until Marjch 5, when they will be sent to the Port land Museum of Pine Arts. Designing tapestries, and tapestry like hangings in keeping with the scale of the architecture, is the hobby of Mr. Hewlett, of the architectural firm of Lord and Hewlett in New York. In those on display here are seen some of his experiments, and the work of some of his designers. While most of the stencils are on velours there is a brilliantly barbaric one near the door which is done on linen. It is a curtain of the 14th century Italian design of tree and bird, printed, with hand coloring. Monk's cloth, and theater gauze backed with black lining, are other materials. The second is a 13th cen (Continued on page three) concuss mo FOR THREE YEARS Vote of Executive Council Taken as Distinct Mark of Confidence in Mentor SALARY NOT ANNOUNCED Maddock Meets Football Players; Spring Training Will Start by March 1 Joe Maddock, Oregon’s new foot ball coacli, was voted a three year contract at a meeting of the executive j council of the student body last night at the Anchorage. The council was j optimistic over the chances for com- i ing athletic successes. The three year contract may be taken as a dis tinct vote of confidence for the new j man. The salary was decided upon but will not be announced at present. Maddock will lpave for his home this week, but will return in time to start spring football by March 1. Early Practice Popular It was decided to hold spring foot ball practice early in the spring this year in order that the football men might turn out later for the spring sports. According to Virgil Earl, the idea of early spring training is be coming prevalent throughout the mid western universities. ,, At a meeting yesterday afternoon in thO Commerce building, the new | mentor was introduced to the foot ball men by Earl. Maddock con ducted an informal discussion of his plans for the coming year. Coach and men talked over the football that has been played at Oregon in the past. The idea expressed in the meeting was that the defensive brand of ball did not need rejuvenating but that the offensive play would have to be bolstered. Training Is Outlined A great part of the spring training will be put in instilling the principles of a fast driving offensive into the men. This means calling signals on the run, men lining up in the final formation, snap the ball and drive. The coach was very pleased with the large turnout to the meeting as there were about 75 men present. LIBRARY HAS NEW BOOKS Drama of Civil War and Historical Work Comprise Increase Two new books of interest have been added to the library recently. “Robert E. Lee,” by John Drink water, author of the play “Abraham Lincoln,” is one of them. The book is a drama of the Civil war and is j built around the personality of Robert E. Lee, dealing with the | opening of his momentous choice between command of the Union and Rebel forces. It follows his cam paigns, his surrender of Richmond, and his farewell speech to his sol diers. The play is in one act with nine scenes. “Studies in Statesmanship,” by D. C. Somervell, is a new book be longing to the seven-day collection of special interest, non-fiction i works. The book focuses attention on a succession of critical epochs in history. “Julius Caesar,” “Washington,” “Napoleon,” “Rich elieu ’’and “Bismarck” are among the nine studies of history that are taken up. The biographical element that is found in the book is said to add much to the dramatic and i human interest appeal that the studies make. FIRST JUNIOR TEAM WINS Third of Class Quintets Defeated in Basketball Game The junior girls, team 1, defeated the junior third team in the basket ball game played last night, 30 to 8. It was more or less of a practice i game for the first team, which is to meet the seniors next Saturday j afternoon. The results of that match will determine who will be in line to play the freshmen team, which ! defeated the seniors Wednesday. In the other game played last ' night, the freshman girls, team 2, i beat the sophomores, team 2, with | a score of 15 to 14. It was a hard- ] fought and well-matched game. 1 Varsity Quartet in Great Demand This Week-end Editors to Hear Men at Hotel Osburn The varsity quartet is having an unusually busy time this week-end keeping engagements. The popu larity it has achieved is not only confined to this campus, for the manager has been receiving many tempting offers lately which would take the four songsters to various cities in the state. Last night they sang at the banquet of the Corvallis Ttotary club held in that city. Tonight they will be heard at the joint Phi Mu Alpha and Mu Phi Epsilon dance tp be held in the 'Woman’s building. Tomorrow noon they will furnish entertainment for the edi tor’s convention banquet at the Tfotel Osborn. MEMBERS OF NORMAL SCHOOL CLUB MEET Influence of Teachers Is Stressed in Talks Members of the Oregon Normal School club held a banquet and meeting at the Campa Shoppe last night at 6:45. About twenty-four members of the club, living in or near Eugene, attended the meeting. President J. S. Landers of the Oregon Normal school at Monmouth, gave a talk on “The Normal School and Its Wider Implications.” Mr. Landers expressed it as his opinion that the influence of the school in Oregon would eventually result in a teacher’s college. He particularly stressed the great in fluence which the teachers have on the school children, and, as a direct result of this, the subsequent influence which they have on in dustry and government in general. Dr. B. W. DeBusk, professor of education, gave an 'address on “Character Development,” which he considers to be of utmost im portance in the development of a child. He pointed out the relation of character development to democ racy, explaining tjhe part whicih the emotions and the intellect play in bringing about this growth. Another number on the program was a vocal solo by Helen Burfield, who is a member of the University Glee club. Miss Barfield’s selec tions were, “Sunbeams” and “If You Were the Opening Rose.” Miss Bertha Hayes presided at the banquet in the place of Miss Mary Donaldson, president of the organization, who was called to Portland and was not able to at tend. PUPIL TO BE PRESENTED Claire Collette, Pianist, Will Appear in Graduate Recital Claire Collete, a senior in the school of music, will be presented in a graduate piano recital Tuesday, ' February 19, in Ahimni hall of the j Woman 's building. She will be as- i sisted by Nina Warnock, violinist. Miss Collette is a pupil of Jane : Tliacher, who speaks of her as hav ing a very crisp, clear technique which enables her to play a difficult program, including numbers by j Beethoven and Chopin and a group of modern compositions. “Her in terpretation is not only intellectual but musical,” says Mrs. Thacher. Nina Warnock, who is a pupil of Rex Underwood, will play “ITejre Kati,” by Hubav, and “Nocturne,” by Chopin-Sarasate. No special in vitations are being issued and the public is invited to attend. COURSE IN MILITARY BAND WORK IS GIVEN AT PURDUE Purdue University—Courses in military bands have been added to the curriculum at Purdue univer sity. The department is under the supervision of Professor Bmrick, who has acted as director of the band for many years. The work in these courses is on the same basis as the courses in military training. Basic work includes the fundamental training in military courtesy, maneuvers of bands, re hearsals and drill periods. Advance courses are in military history and law. OREGON WINS BOTH DEBATE CONTESTS VARSITY PLAYS W.S.C. TONIGHT Game at Pullman Will be Hard Tussle; Cougar Five Strong on Home Floor HUNK LATHAM IS FEARED By Bob Prescott (Sports Editor, W. S. C. Evergreen) PULLMAN, Wash., Feb. 14.— T'he outcome of the game against the University of Oregon Friday night is uncertain. The most that can bo said is that it will be a tough battle for both teams and the winner will earn the victory in every sense of the word. Oregon is at a disadvantage in that she is playing away from home and with no supporting crowd, which is always a factor in the 'success of a team. Latham Big Factor On the other hand, Hunk Latham in the lineup gives the Webfooters an edge on the Cougars which is difficult to overcome, as Bolder’s chief problem this season has been that of developing a center who is big enough to compare favorably with others in the conference. After experimenting with sev eral prospects, he has at last worked Bill Nolan into a combination which promises to be one of the best scor ing machines in the West. If no injuries result from the game with Washington tonight, Doc will probably start the same team which has played most of the pre vious games. This includes Schultz and Kelso at forward, Nolan at center, and Captain Schroeder and Reese at guards. Stellar Players on Team Schultz is one of the keenest shots in basketball circles and never fails to register his share of count ers, while Kelso plays the coolest and steadiest game of any man on the team. Nolan has uncanny abil ity at leading his guards, and Reese and Schroeder are rated as two of the best checkers on the coast. The Cougars do not under rate the capability of the Lemon-Yellow be cause of the latter’s loss to Idaho Wednesday, and are anticipating one of the hardest tussles of the season. STUDENTS ENTERTAINED Washington and Lincoln Birthday Party Is Celebrated The foreign students of the Uni versity were the personally invited guests at a joint birthday party held in the Baptist church last night in commemoration of the lives of George Washington and Abra ham Lincoln. The party was held midway between the birthdays of these two great men for the pur pose of instructing the foreign stu dents about them. Hev. Henry Davis, secretary of the campus Y. M. C. A., gave a talk about the life and ideals of George Washington, and Itev. C. E. Dunham, pastor of the Baptist church, told of the life of Abraham Lincoln. After these talks came a musical entertainment, and last of! all, refreshments. TED BICE CONVALESCENT FROM SERIOUS OPERATION Te<l Rice, journalism student and varsity debater, who was seriously ill from sinus operation caused by wounds received in the war, has re turned to the campus to recuperate. His condition at the first of the year was decided to be very critical by several consulting physicians, but he is recovering rapidly now. R. 0. T. C. AT MISSOURI INSTALLS NEW RADIO University of Missouri—A radio broadcasting station has been in stalled by the R. O. T. C. of the University of Missouri. Weather re ports are being sent out every eve ning now, and it is planned to broadcast regular radio programs later on. Samara Will Sell Toothsome Bits to Hungry Students Divinity, fudge, and other tooth some sweets are to be vended in the halls, laboratories and class rooms of Deady hall this after noon after 12:30. The members of Samar?, women’s honorary botany fraternity, are conducting the sale to raise money for their library fund.

It, is the purpose of the mem bers of Samara to increase the number of books on the shelves of the botanical library in Deady hall, especially to add useful reference books and works of memorable men in the botanical field. HEALTH DIVISION HAS LARGE ENROLLMENT Underweight Girls Make Up Majority of Total About 275 women arc enrolled in the health division of the de partment of physical education this term, under the personal super vision of Dr. Bertha Stuart. Of these, many are underweight eases, while others are cases of general disability. Of the number enrolled in the department last term, 25 failed to return to the campus after the vaca tion. This is a much better show ing than last year, when 60 women enrolled in that department failed to return after the first term. It is the opinion of those in charge of the department that the phy sically fit are remaining in collego, while poor health is the cause of | most of the withdrawals. Of the underweight girls enrolled in the classes, 120 gained from one lialf to eight pounds during the month of January, which brings JO of them up to normal weight, while a few have even overstepped the normalcy mark. This is ac credited to the supervised exercise and the diet planned by the de partment. Jane Gavin, who has charge of the reports and records, states that there is a marked differ ence in the records of those who have been conscientious in follow ing the schedule and those who have not. LAURA RAND, MEMBER OF CLASS OF ’21, IS MARRIED Word was received on the cam pus this week ’of the marriage of Miss Laura Rand, a member of the class of. ’21, to Clarence Thomas Terril of Bend. The wedding was an event of Monday evening at the Hotel Portland. Mr. Terril is a prominent lawyer of Bend, where the bride was musical instructor in the schools for two years following her graduation from the Univer sity. Mrs. Terril, who is a member of Pi Beta Phi, was attended by a number of sorority sisters. WOMEN ACHIEVE STATE VICTDRr Home Meet Gets Two to One Decision; Unanimous Vote Gained at Salem REBUTTAL IS PRAISED Immediate Evacuation of Ruhr by the French Question for Argument By Leonard LerwiU The women’s debate teams of the University won a unanimous deci sion from Willamette University at Salem and a two to one decision from Oregon Agricultural College in Villard hall in the triangular contest held last night. O. A. C. was reported to have won a two to one decision from Willamette University at Corvallis. Corvallis Result Uncertain There was some difficulty in mak ing out the decision at Corvallis. The decision of one of the judges was first read as a vote for the af firmative, but a later inspection of the ballot gave rise to doubt as to what it really was. By that timo, the judge had left town and it could not be verified at a late hour last night. The subject debated in last night’s contests was: “Resolved, that France should immediately evacuate the Ruhr.” The negative team of each institution left its home campus to meet the opposing affirmative team On its home floor. The Oregon affirmative team, which debated in Villard hall, was composed of Mildred Bateman and Mildred Whitcomb. The negative team, which met the Willamette - affirmative team in Salem, was Mar garet Woodson and Dorothy Abbott. Contest Is Close The debate held hero last night was declared by many interested in tho subject to be tho most interest ing and competently handled con test that has ever taken place on the Oregon campus. It was pointed out that the decision of two to one indicated the closeness of the de bate and tho excellence of the work done. II. E. Rosson, debato coach at the University, declared that talent rarely seen in any debatd was brought out on the Villard hall stage last night. Rebuttals Win Praise Mildred Bateman brought pro longed applause from the audience at the close of hor argument. When she returned to the stago to make the final rebuttal for the affirma tive, she was greeted with another outburst of applause which was fol lowed by expectant silence. In a clear and determined voice, which seemed to carry conviction through out tho room, she summed up the arguments as presented in tho con structive speeches. Tho negative had contended that a tax of $13.00 per capita extended over a number of years would bo sufficient to pay (Continued on page four) Artists Who Give Recital TonightAre Former Students The concerts to he presented to night and tomorrow night in Guild hall, by Arthur Johnson, tenor, and R.
