Thomas Arkle Clark, Illinois Dean, Visits Campus Friends Thomas Arkle Clark, a “Who’s Who,” dean of men at the University of Illinois, author, and national au thority on fraternities, was a visitor in Eugene Saturday. During the short time he spent on the campus Dean Clark renewed his friendship with Dean William Hale, and Professor E. H. Decker of the law school, who were at one time members of the faculty at Illinois, and other members of the University faculty including Dean Straub with whom he discussed the problems which confront a dean of men. “T. Arkle,” as he is called by the students at the Illinois institution, has characteristics that are outstand ing and distinguish him, declared Dean Hale. “There is only one ‘T. ^ Arkle’ with his half smile and odd little twitch of his shoulders. I re member during one of the events of the annual week-end at Illinois, the student circus, at which students have the advantage to ‘take off’ on the faculty, one student in the perfor mance disguised himself, and wander ing about in the crowd without say ing a word, was easily recognized as ‘T. Arkle’ just by his mannerisms, the way he wore his hat, and carried himself.” “T. Arkle’a” name is a bye-word on the campus back there. All stu dents know him, and he knows til of them. Not only is Dean Clark an interesting character, but a remark able one, in the opinion of Dean Hale, who added that Clark knows (Continued on page three) POSTURE DRIVE IN FULL SWING Campus Trees Which Slump Will be Tagged Today by Heads of Campaign SONG CONTEST TO CLOSE Plaque Is Designed to Show Perfect Poise; Posters on Display to be Judged All paths lead to the women’s gymnasium—if one ean judge by the green footprints apparent everywhere on the campus this week. For today the posture drive begins in earnest, and “Posture Expresses Personality” will be the slogan of the week. Even the trees are not to be allowed to slump if the senior physi cal education majors have their way, and each tree on the campus which does not come to specifications of “perfect posture” will have to wear, for the day, a tag bearing the evi dence of its disgrace. Prize to be Given The schematogram, an instrument which casts the shadow of one’s car riage, will be in use beginning today, and all members of gymnasium class es are asked to report to their classes today and tomorrow in street clothes to go through this test. All girls who are not in gymnasium classes will be tested at their houses, and a prize of a plaque representing perfect poise will be awarded the house hav ing the highest percentage of girls with correct posture. This percen tage will take into consideration the total membership of the house. Posters on display in the sun parlor of the Woman’s building are to be judged also as part of the drive. Votes may be cast by anyone viewing them. Portland Doctor Here A Wednesday feature will be the presence on the campus of an ortho pedic doctor, sent to Eugene by the Knight Shoe company, of Portland. He brings with him a floroscope, an instrument constructed on the same principal as an x-ray, with which he will test the shoes of the girls to determine the correct style for each type of foot. The song contest, another phase of the drive, will remain open until noon today to enable those who have not yet turned in their contributions to do so before that time. Stunts Are Arranged The climax will come at 4:45 on Wednesday afternoon, when a stunt show will be staged by physical ed ucation majors. Stunts are “The Crooked Man,” “Evolution _pf Good Posture,” “Jack-in-the-Box” and “The Night-Mare.” This is the second annual posture drive to be staged on the University campus by members of the physical education department, the affair be ing endorsed by members of the Wo men’s Athletic association, and Wo men ’s league. All girls are asked to lend their support. See Tour Shadow!

Students Still Neglect to Pay University Fees Business Office Sends Out Notices The records of the business of fice show that about twenty students have not paid their laboratory and registration fees for the term. However, it is impossible to deter mine whether all of these students are attending the. University this term. The business office has sent out notices to these students and it is expected that the matter will be ended within a few days. The re; cords supplied by the registrar’s office show that these .students were registered for a while but it is thought that some may have withdrawn without the proper pro ceedings. There were a few cases recorded where students had failed to pay thair fees through misunderstanding the new registration system. Sev eral thought that when their fees were paid during the fall term that this covered the fees for the year. These have been notified and the mistake rectified. Is Your Posture Worth Pooling At?

Ho has interviewed many old pioneers all over the state. Ho spends part of his time travelling through the different sections of the state getting stories from pioneers and other interesting per sons. Mr. Lockley does not con fine his interviewing to pioneers— any one who has had unusual ex periences makes the basis for one of his stories. Ho claims that he can get a story from any one.

VHRSlir LISES TO WASHINGTON Score at End of Northern Battle for Conference Place Is 29 to 22 Points LATHAM GETS INJURY Victory Gives to Purple and Gold First Call for Sectional Championship SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 25.— (Special to The Emerald).—A crip pled Oregon team took the short end of a 29 to 22 score in a fast, hard-fought game, which deter mined which of the two teams would still be in the running for the conference honors. As a result of last night's tussle, the Huskies are now in the lead of the northern section of the conference, while Oregon is definitely out of the run ning. Oregon Takes Lead The Oregonians took the lead in last night’s fray, when a brace of fouls converted by Gowans and a field goal by Latham ran the Lemon-Yellow count to four before the Washington offense got under way. The Purple and Gold attack led by Bob Iiesketh soon got into action and ran the count to 15-6, in favor of the home aggregation. An Oregon rally, in which Hobson was the stellar performer, netted four points, but at the end of the half, the score favored the North erners, 17-10. Another Oregon rally, headed by Latham, knotted the count early in the second period, but shortly after ward the Huskies came back and took the lead, never to be headed. At this juncture of the game, Latham was injured, but it was not sufficiently serious to prevent his finishing the game. The big fellow stayed in and looped two more baskets, being runnerup to Hcxketh for the high point honors of the game. Husky Schedule Finished This victory gives the Huskies the first call on the sectional championship, as they have com pleted their schedule, while the Aggies, their nearest competitors, must trim Oregon to even tie Wash ington.

Oregon Students Feel Charm of Hough’s “Covered Wagon” A few pioneers, looking striking ly like the men and women on the screen before them, sat with a houseful of sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons of the men who first settled Oregon and watched the unfolding story of how the West was won, when Emerson Hough's epic of the Oregon Trail, “The Covered Wagon,” was pre sented, last night. For two hours that crowd lived with the heroes of the old West and the hopes and fears that were so intimately tied up with the lives of the pioneers who moved from the Missouri river to Puget sound in the long white trains of wagons. ] The pride in the accomplishment of the deeds of the early settlers md the splendid harmony of the | whole spectacle marie the usual first night critics forget to be critical and with the rest they lived for a time in “the days of ’49.” It was all there, life, death, hard ship, love and thrills for the most hardened movie fan. Yet the art, the settings and the spirit of the victory of the early days lent a depth that made the picture a crea tion not to be forgotten. 'Ilie crowd of Oregon studente who helped make up the audience saw much to praise in the epic. It seemed that here, at last, was a pic ture that was real. There was a feeling of touching the soil, of rub bing elbows with real people— people who were made of real stuff (Continued on page four.)
