Old Books for Sale! Old Books
to Buy! How many among the stu
dents on the campus who think—
the only ones worth while—have
one or two books valued enough
by them to warrant purchase?
How many campus “Poor Rich
ards” have been looking for a
copy of so-and-so’s math book, or
botany, or physics, which they can
purchase for forty cents to a dollar,
or thereabouts, to add to their life
collection? How many English
lobbyists want a second hand
pocket edition “ Areopagiticaj” or
“Faerie Queene” to be carted
around from pillar to post in the
next few years and lovingly worn
to pieces by them? How about a
good stout second-hand Blankety
blank, 1815-50, for the history
bugs to add to their collection?
'V Are there enough STUDENTS on
the Oregon campus to merit such a
loving second best book enterprise?
If the virulent Oxforditis bug has
touched you on this campus, you
know already of this movement

Ah, Colonel!” said Holmes, ar
ranging his rumpled collar, “jour
ney’s end in lovers’ meetings, as
the old play says. I don’t think I
have had the pleasure of seeing
you since you favored me with
those attentions as I lay on the
ledge above the Reichenbacli Fall. ’
The Colonel still stared as my
friend like a man in a trance. “You
cunning, cunning fiend,” was all
that he could say .
Line by line we follow it
breathlessly. What can be better
than an occasional volume of Sher
k lock Holmes, if perchance you
■“coffee” alone after a hard eve
'ning’s study Sherlock Holmes,
stories are a passion and a hobby
r with us, and we make no apology to
anybody. We alway,regretted that
anyone who could create such a
vivid character as the detective,
should lay down the pen. If ypa
have a hobby in light reading, you
will sense the relief with which
we turn to Holmes and Watson
when the mind is tired.

A Student Union
Few “Activities”
By C. N. H.
*
The memory of their first trip
through the student union building
■or “Stephens hall,” as they call it
at California university, makes any
Oregon student long for the time
■when there may be a like building
on this University campus. From
top to bottom, the manager has
taken us on two successive summers.
■Gothic in style, the building is one
of the most beautiful and impres
sive on the southern campus.
Within its walls and on its bal
conies and roofs are combined what
we have here at Oregon in many
scattered places—lounging rooms
with great, man-size fireplaces, ban
quet rooms, barber shop, Co-op, tea
rooms, cafeteria, soda fountain and.
confectionary store, special book
store in connection with the Co-op,
employment bureau, tobacco store,
publication offices, student adminis
tration offices, roof gardens, and
much more. It is rapidly becoming
the center of campus life and is
securing to California the needed
spirit of fellowship among her ten
thousand students.
Oregon is growing. In not many
years her student union will be an
absolute necessity. Tire campaign
for it must not be allowed to lose
campus interest!
We made a new pipe-stem for our
self this week, and two thoughts
occurred to us. Don’t laugh at this
juxtaposition! As we burnt the heart
out of the seasoned wood with a
hot wire, we reflected on the state
ment made by an observer that,
proportionately, there were not
enough people engaged in “activi
ties” on the Oregon campus. We
wish that the “bookworms and
butterflies” would think this over!
We heard that the student adminis
tration some time ago, a year or
more, put a system of registration
of “desired .activities” into effect.
We wonder it met with the usual
amount of campus cooperation!

Earl Shafer Is
Out for Season
Early Recovery Hoped
for Star Guard
Earl Shafer, Oregon’s fastest guard
on the varsity basketball squad, was
operated on Friday for acute appen
dicitis. The attack was totally unex
pected, as he was scheduled to play
against the Whitman squad that even
ing.
It was reported that the operation
was critical and that any delay,.;
might have been fatal. Shafer was
said to be resting easy last evening
and every expectation is had for an
early recovery.
This illness has weakened the Lem
on-Yellow squad considerably, as it
is certain he is out for the rest of
the season, and he was one of Rein
hart’s best bets for the gitard posi
tion.
This was Shafer’s last year of com
petition under the Oregon colors for
although this is second year on the
Varsity, he played a year on the
Willamette five before transferring
to Oregon. Shafer’s home is in Salem.
Recovery From
Grippe is Slow
“Gradual resumption of normal
routine following an attack of grippe
is essential to early and complete
recovery,” said Dr. W. K. Living
ston, head of the University health
service. Grippe often leaves after
effects temporarily affecting the
heart or kidneys or it may damage a
great many tissues from the toxic
effect of the infection. The tired
ness and peplessness remaining after
the grippe should be worked off very
slowly and sufficient time should be
taken to gain strength even if it is
three or four weeks.
A few cases of grippe have been
taken to the infirmary for the se
cond time because the person was too
anxious to recover rapidly and by
vigorous exertion caused a recrudes
cence of symptoms or damage to
weakened organs.
Renee Chemet and a Rare
Guadagnini Violin
i
By Josephine Bice
Interesting, indeed, will be the
concert given by Mme. Renee Che
met, noted French artist, at the
Methodist church Tuesday evening,
February 26, at 8 o’clock. It is not
)ften that the campus has the op
portunity of hearing a gifted artist,
i winning personality and a beauti
ful woman at once.
Mme. Chemet is famed as being
the foremost of violinists and the
>nly woman who can compare with
Maud Powell. She will play Maud
Powell’s own violin next Tuesday
night.
This famous violin is a rare old
juadagnini. The name Guadagnini
is one to conjure with in violins.
The Guadagnini family lived and
worked in Italy at that extra
ordinary time when violin making
was an art; when all the world
famous old violins of today were
made.
There ’is sonitliing fascinating
about those old masters and the
violins they made. Each of these
precious instruments represents a
life-time of labor ' and love, not
only of one man, but of whole
families.
There was Nicholas Amati and
his family, whose every violin was
a complete and perfect master
piece of workmanship. The very
choicest wood available was shaped
into these instruments; and today
the name Amati is synonymous
with a tone of ethereal purity—a
combination of brilliant power and j
sweetness.
Without doubt the king of all
violin makers is Antonio Stradi
varius, whose name is known to
everyone. Every smallest detail of
the 70 different parts in the making
of a violin was done with perfec
tion and accuracy. Stradivarius was
not a violin maker, he was an artist.
A lifetime of study was required
to perfect this genius; Stradivarius
made violins from the age of 23
until he was 92 years old. A great
musical critic has said: “The violins
of Stradivarius possess delicacy,
mellowness, free power, penetrating
brilliance, and roundness of tone.”
There hangs on the wall of an old
smoky hut in the Highlands of
Scotland one of the most perfect
of all Stradivarius violins. It is
plastered with rosin to keep it to
gether, since it has been subjected
to such conditions; and its owner
will not part with for any amount
of money. Time and time again,
artists and collectors have offered
him huge sums for this marvelous
instrument, but he shakes his head,
saying only that it is a family heir
loom and a Stradivarius.
The Guadagnini family lived in
Milan for the most part. The first
Guadagnini had been a pupil of
Stradivarius, and his violins follow
the Stradivarius model. The Gua
dagnini violin possesses a fine, mel

Take Matches
The University of Oregon frosh
wrestling squad was defeated by the
Corvallis high school grapplers by a
score of 41-49, Friday night at Cor
vallis. The high school wrestlers, who
are coached by Robin Reed, were well
trained in the O. A. C. style of wrest

Fakuda and Woods lost by deci
sions in the 125 and 135-pound class,
as did Laurs in the 145 division.
Wingard and Leavitt won their
matches by decisions. Although they
lost the meet, the frosh gained con
siderable experience which will aid
them in the meet next Friday with
Reed college at Portland.
Monday night the varsity will meet
the University of Washington wrest

FUNERAL OF FRED JUNKEN
HELD FRIDAY
The funeral of Fred Junken,
senior in the school of architecture,
who died Tuesday at his home in
Willamette, Oregon, was held at
2:30 Friday at the Holman Under

Junken left school a week ago on
account of illness, and his death
followed an operation for appendi
citis.

Portraits of Campus Types
% __
ti
By M. L. M.
Mirror reflections are curious
things. We have all experienced
the sensations of the concave and
convex mirror in the side show. And
consequently, we have all exclaimed,
“How awful—why that doesn’t
look like me.” And yet, who else
could it be? Overdrawn perhaps,
but the basic qualifications are
there and we have only to tone
them down a bit to recognize our
selves.
A reporter may ask of some pro
fessor, “What sort of a person
would you classify the Oregon stu
dent as being?” “The types are so
numerous, my son,” replies the hy
pothetical prof, “that a composite
portrait would be only a blur.”
There is William, for instance.
He has a serious purpose in life and
ranks high in the philosophy course.
1 He is egoistical to a high degree
ut has very few enemies for he
s a pleasing personality. William
not a shy and retiring sort of
person where the ladies are con
cerned, for he believes that in order
to have a social' back ground, syste
matic dating is very essential. Wil
liam has a high moral character
and will probably make a great suc
cess in life.
Then we have Hortense of the
bobbed hair and the appealing eyes,
who invariably takes the front seat
in the recitation hour, and con
scientiously disagrees with every
thing. Sad to relate, not everyone
undrstands Hortense and so she
eventually gets out of college with
a pretty fair average and, of course,
a sheepskin.

library, behind the pile of books,

New Volumes
Are Received
Latest among the new books in
the library are “Tulips and Chim
neys,” by E. Cummings; “The Man
Himself,” by Rollin-Lynde Hartt;
“The Outline of Art,” by Sir Wil
lian Orpen, the first of a series
corresponding to the works on out
lines of science and literature that
have been in the library before;
“Girth Control,” by H. T. Finck;
“Crossings,” Walter De La Mare;
“Yesterdays in a Busy Life,” Can
dace Wheeler; “Oh, Doctor,” by
Harry Leon Wilson; “Children of
the Age,” by Knut Hampsun;
“Midlander,” by Booth Tarkington;
“West of the Water Tower”; “Sil
bermann,” by Jacques De Lacre
telle, and “Ebony and Ivory,” by
Powys, a group of short stories.
The new shelf of seven-day books
of special interest has also had some
new additions recently. “Essays in
European and Oriental Literature,”
by Lafcadio Hearn; “The Pioneer
West,” edited by J. L. French;
“Milestones in American Litera
ture,” by Boynton; and “Musical
Chronicle, 1917-1923,” by Paul
Rosenfeld, are the newest onos on
the shelf.
Several books have been sug
gested for the collection of special
interest books through the sugges
tion box on the circulation desk,
which is part of the plan to fprther
the interest in the shelf by giving
both faculty members and students
ap opportunity to voice opinions as
to now purchases made for the col
lection. Three suggestions have
been received for “The Dance of
Life,” by Havelock Ellis. The
library, however, already has two
copies of the book on the rent shelf.

Aid also is offered to the college
! officials in properly punishing all
students committing offenses against
the Volstead Act. There was not
a dissenting vote in the group of
50 student coupeilmen when the
matter was brought to a vote.
This is thought to be the most
sweeping action taken by a college
student government in support of
prohibition enforcement.

Development Work
Governor Honored
Judge Carey Chosen
National Head; State
Leader W. S. Gilbert
With the appointment yesterday
of Judge Charles H. Carey, of Port
land, as national chairman, Gov.
Walter M. Pierce as honorary state
chairman, and Col. William S. Gil
bert of Astoria as state chairman,
the University of Oregon launched
the active phase of its $5,000,000
building and development campaign
yesterday. Private gifts are sought
to aid in providing for the rapid
growth of the institution. Presi
dent P. L. Campbell estimates the
enrollment will increase 100 per
cent in the next five years.
Alumni to Aid
Graduates and former students,
under the leadership of Robert B.
Kuykendall,' ’13, are asked to raise
among themselves $1,000,000 in a
campaign to begin immediately. De
tailed plans for their campaign will
be considered in the University
club, Portland, tomorrow night at a
meeting of tllie \alumni campaign
executive committee and the divi
sion chairmen. These two groups
comprise 26 outstanding sons and
daughters of Oregon.
Alumni will undertake to provide
the funds necessary to construct
a library adequate for University
needs, a new men’s gymnasium, and
the Memorial court, the latter dedi
cated to those sons and daughters
of Oregon who made war sacrifices.
Work Is Outlined
The state wide and national cam
paign for the public generally will
be held next February, but mean
time the general committee is of
ficered and is already evolving
plans for the effort next winter.
Associated with Judge Carey will
be a general committee composed
of a number of the leading citizens
of Oregon.
“Friends of the University who
aro behind the movement to care
for the University’s rapid growth
are convinced in sober earnest that
the goal can be reached,” said
President Campbell yesterday. “It
would not be right under present
conditions to expect taxation to
take care in full of the pressure
of our heavily increasing enroll
ment, and yet, unless something is
done, many young people must be
denied educational advantages, or
we must adopt wholesale methods
and cheapen the educational pro
duct. Such makeshift, expedients
are inconceivable.”
National Basis Used
Alumni will seek their goal on a
national basis. Oregon is districted
into six divisions. In addition,
there are Pacific? coast, central,
(southern, eastern, and foreign divi
j sions, each, with one exception, pre
sided over by a resident chairman.

Posture Drive
Starts Monday
Floroscope to be Used
In Wednesday Show
As a special feature of the Cor
rect Posture Drive by the physical
education department, the Knight
Shoe store of Portland is sending
its orthopedic doctor to be on
the campus Tuesday and Wednes
day with a floroscopo to test the
correctness of the shoes worn by
University women.
A floroscope, be it known, is a
machine constructed on the prin
ciple of an X-ray, the patient puts
her foot in the machine and sees
the outline of the position into
which her shoe forces the foot.
Another “side show” feature of
the exhibit in the sun parlor of the
Woman’s building is the schemato
gruph, which outlines the posture,
and enables the girl to see herself i
as the campus sees her.
On Tuesday and Wednesday,
regular gymnasium classes will not
meet, but will go instead in street
clothes to the sun parlor for the
posture and floroscope tests.
The posture posters, drawn by the
seniors in the department, will also
be on display. A prize will be
awarded to the winning one. It has
not yet been disclosed what the prize
will be.
The posture song contest, open to
any one on the campus, will not
close until Monday noon, and the
department is hoping for some good
examples of campus ingenuity.
Graveyard Removal Rumor
* * * * * v
Proposed Memorial Park
By Ed Miller
The possibility of ridding the cam
pus of the Odd Fellows’ cemetery, ad
jacent to the Woman’s building, has
1 long been of interest to University
students. Almost as old as the grave
yard itself, is the story that the ceme
tery is to be removed to make room
for the steadily expanding Univer
sity. Recently, rumor has it that
within the next five years the grave
I stones will be leveled and the whole
! converted into a memorial mortuary
t park.
Tho desirability of such a step is
! obvious. As each year passes, tho
] University is slowly spreading around
I the cemetery on three sides. As soon
as sufficient funds are raised by the
five million dollar building cam
paign, the new library, science
buildings and memorial auditorium
will all be practically within a
stones throw of the western
extremity of the cemetery. The new
men’s gymnasium to be located where
the present R. O. T. C. barracks
stands, coupled with the proposed new
athletic fields, will completely enclose
the cemetery .on the east. While there
is nothing particularly detrimental
about the cemetery to the life of the
University, most any one will agree
that a spacious mortuary park without
suggestion of tombstones would be
far more fitting to the purposes of an
educational institution.
The difficulties of the situation are
equally obvious. In the cemetery there
are approximately three thousand i
graves. Xo doubt, a great many rela
tives of those interred would object
strenuously to having the place
molested. Mr. E. S. La Duke, who has

Vandals Win
Oregon Fray
Score of 27 to 25 Final
Outcome of Struggle
After Overtime Play
Game Shows Speed
Oregon Wins Whitman
Tilt Friday Evening
Making 41-15 Points
After fighting the regular 40
minutes to a tie score, the Idaho
Vandals pulled out in the over timf
period and tucked another victory
in their belt by a score of 27 to
25. The score was close throughout
the game and neither team was able
to get a lead of more than five
points. At the end of the second
half, the score was tied at 25.
Last night’s game was one of
the fastest exhibitions that has been
soen on the local floor for many
moons. The fast breaking Idaho
offensive is somewhat simjifeir to
the open style used by the Aggies,
but is kept in motion in order that
the defense cannot be formed. The
Vandal defense was checking close
ly, not allowing the Oregonians to
get set for a shot.
Oregon Takes Lead
Oregon took the lead in the first
few minutes of tlhe hectic fray,
but was unable to maintain it, as
the Red Shirts broke through and
looped a couple. Throughout the re
mainder of the first half the lead
swung back and forth with the Ore
gon five on top a major portion of
the time, but a Vandal rally toward
the end of the half knotted the
count at 15. Fitzke, the big Idaho
pivot, who was the liigh point man
of the Moscow quintet, played the
entire second half and over time
period with three personal fouls
chalked up against him.
The visitors took the lead at the
start of the second period and main
tained it fairly consistently till the
last five minutes, but the Lemon
Yellow quihtet spurted and passed
them in the last four minutes. With
but four minutes to go, the count
favored Oregon, 25 to 24, but when
Oregon called a fourth time out,
Idaho was given a free throw which
Telford converted and tied the
score.
Over Time Taken
After a rest, the over time period
was started and the locals were
unalile to score in the five minutes
but Berner slipped through the Ore
gon defense and rolled the leather
through the loop for what proved
to be the winning score of the game.
When the timer’s gun ended the
session, the ball was in Idaho’s pos
session at their own end of the
floor.
The Oregon team play was visibly
affected by the absence of Earl
Shafer, who was operated on for
acute appendicitis Friday and
whose services will be lost to the
varsity for the remainder of the
season. Hal Chapman was in the
lineup again after an enforced ab
sence of several weeks, but the
stocky guard was noticeably slowed
up by the injured knee, which was
encased in many layers of bandages.
Game Is Critical
Latham and Gowans tied for the
higli-point honors of the fracas
with nine points apiece, while
Fit/.ke was a close second with
eight counters. Last night’s defeat
does not eliminate the varsity from
the conference race, but it makes
it such that Oregon must win her
next three conference struggles
with Washington, W. S. C. and
O. A. C., respectively. That is
going to be no mean task as two of
tlie games are away from home,
Shafer will be out of the game for
the rest of the season and Chap
man badly handicapped by a lame
knee.
The summary:
Oregon 25 Pos. Idaho 27
Gowans 9 .F. 5 Penwell
Hobson 4 .F. 4 Berner
Latham 9 .C. 8 Fitzke
Chapman 1 .G. 4 Nelson
Gillenwaters 2 G. 6 Telford
Referee, Coleman, O. A. C.
Oregon defeated Whitman in a
very loosely played contest Friday
night, 41 to 15. “Hunk” Latham
alone annexed enough counters to
turn in the victory by scoring a
total of 24 points against the visi
tors. The Lemon-Yellow held the
advantage at all stages of the game
and at times scored almost at will.
