Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, EUGENE. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1924 NUMBER 107 Alumni to Furnish Funds for Library, Auditorium and Men’s Gymnasium COURT TO BE IMPOSING Campaign for $1,000,000 Launched Last Monday Will be National One The new library, the hall of col lections or Auditorium, and the Men’s gymnasium—the three build ings which the alumni and former students of the University will pro vide funds for through their pres ent nation-wide campaign for $1,000,000—constitute the next items of the building program on .the campus to be taken up. Six thousand former students will be given an opportunity to partake in this program for the development of greater facilities for the use of the University in the future. New Library Described The new library will be a two story structure with a frontage of 225 feet and a depth of 160 feet. It will consist of three units, a main body and two wings; the main body of the building will be con structed first and the wings added ■when the necessary funds are avail able. In addition to the two main stories, the building will have a complete basement. The hall of collections will face the memorial court and will also have a frontage of 225 feet, but with a depth of 125 feet. The main unit of this building will provide an auditorium and gathering place large enough to accommodate the en tire student body. There will be three wings to this building which will be completed as facilities are provided for them. Court Location Given The memorial court will be con structed in the southwest part of the campus on the highest point of ground. It will be approached from the north by the main axis of the campus extending from Eleventh avenue to the hall of col lections, where it will terminate. Imposing steps will lead to the court, which will be constructed with three levels. The lower level will be landscaped in grass and paths. Facing this level, will be the library on one side and the hall of collections on the other. The intermediate level of the court will be constructed of paving, with a portion of it in grass. The main court, with the exception of two minor lateral courts, will be entire ly of paving. This will provide the principal outdoor gathering place for the entire campus. The dimensions of the complete court will be 150 feet from north to south, by 150 feet from east to west. Statuary Group Planned Near the center of the steps lead ing to Auditorium will be the prin cipal memorial statue, a piece of sculpture dedicated to sons and daughters of Oregon who made war sacrifices. This will be the domi nating figure of a statuary group that will be placed in the court. Two bronze flag poles will be placed here, one at each end of the steps leading to the hall of col lections. The present men’s gymnasium, which was built to care for (Continued on page three) Snappy Title for ‘Old Oregon’ Humor Section is Wanted A prize of $2.50 is being offered for the best title for the humor seetion of Old Oregon, according to an announcement by Miss Grace Edgington, alumni secretary. There is no limit to the number of titles that any person may turn in so no one need limit himself to one or two. The titles should not contain more than three words and should have a distinctive Oregon flavor, so they must be short, snappy, and to the point. zVll suggestions are to be submitted to Miss Edgington on or before Marcfy 8, the last day of the contest. The names of possible editors for the column are also wanted. A number have been turned in but a larger list is need from which to choose. SKITS SHOW BENEFIT OF 0000 CARRIAGE Results of Posture Drive to be Given Today The stunt show presented yester day afternoon in the Woman’s build nig closed the posture drive which has been carried on for the last three days by the women physcial educa tion majors. Four skits taught with varied plots the lesson of good car riage. “The Crooked Man,” was the first stunt, with characters with clumsy joints and bent backs. They recovered from their ailments when they made efforts to straighten their posture. A short act entitled “The Night Mare,” followed this, showing a small boy who, in his dreams saw an image of his poor carriage. His de sires to become a soldier after watch ing a drill put on by nine tall, straight figures, led him to improve his appearance. The third act, “The Evolution of Evangeline,” was divided into six scenes, telling the story of a girl whose health was weakened by the teachings of a foolish mother who would allow her to do no gymnasium work nor partake in outdoor sports. The last scene showed the girl after a year in college where physical ed ucation and instruction of the right' sort brought her improved appear ance and better health. A short musical act, “The Jack in-the-Box,” was the final number. The slogan of the week, “Posture Expresses Personality,” was featured. Pearl Pyritz and Florence Baker took first prize in the poster contest. The second and third places were taken by two posters made by Har riet Veazie. The results of the posture tests will not be known until late today. Miss Florehce Alden, head of the depart ment of physical education for wo men, showed the plaque which is to be awarded to the organization get ting the highest percentage. It was was made by Beatrice Towers. The song submitted by Helen Bur field and Frances Simpson took the prize in the song contest. DOUGHNUT VOLLEYBALL ON ATHLETIC SCHEDULE Doughnut volleyball is to be the next sport on the women’s athletic schedule. Practices start this after noon and the teams will be chosen next week, when a definite program will be arranged. • No Finals and Few Athletes in Swiss Colleges, Says Marti By Ed Miller Fritz Marti, who came from Swit zerland last October to teach ethics and nineteenth century thought in the philosophy department of the Uni versity, brings with him strange tales of student life in his native country. In the first place, there are no grades, no credits, and no examina tions to worry the student. Mr. Mar ti, who is but a few years removed from his undergraduate days, finds it difficult to reconcile himself to the American system of grading. “I don’t like to evaluate any mental performances with numbers,” he ex plained. All is not roses for the European student, by any means. Required of ■a high school graduate is a speaking knowledge of three or four languages, and a great store of mathematics, often through calculus. Mr. Marti speaks five langueges—French, Eng lish, German, Italian and Swiss, which is similar to fourteenth century German. He also reads Latin. The four year instruction periods as recognied in America are unheard of on the continent. High school car ries the average student through his twentieth year. He then attends a school, such as the University of Berne, an institution of 1600 students, which Mr. Marti attended, corres ponding somewhat to the American graduate schools. A four or six year course entitles him to a doctor’s de (Continued on page three) LOCKLEYTO TELL OF PIONEER LIFE Assembly First Devoted to Subject Since 1919 at Unveiling of Memorial EVENT TO BE AT VILLARD Older Generation of State Interviewed by Writer of-Column in “Journal” Fred Lockley, special writer for the Oregon Journal of Portland, will be the speaker at assembly in Villard hall today. He will speak on “The Oregon Pioneer.” This subject will lay special emphasis on what the pioneer did for education, and how these ideals should be car ried out as applied to the improve ment Campaign of the University. ■ This is the first assembly to be devoted to this subject since the unveiling of the campus “Pioneer” in 1919. Mr. Lockley is especially able to talk on the subject he has chosen because of the close contact he has | had with pioneers throughout the state in the past few years. His journalistic work has consisted in part of interviewing and writing up for the readers of the column he edits in the Oregon Journal, the stories related by the older genera tion of Oregon. The relation be tween this fast passing group of the state fs citizenship and the his tory of the Northwest will be de veloped in Mr. Lockley’s address. Lockley Is Westerner Those who know Mr. Lockley say that he takes a keen delight and joy in meeting and interviewing the pioneer. Members of the journal ism faculty declare that all one need do to pep Mr. Lockley up is to mention a possible source for a pioneer story. Immediately he is eager and interested and will not rest until he has the story. His ' interest lies not only in obtaining a story for his paper, but the per- i sonal experiences and tales of the ! old timer and their bearing on the history of the state interest him as ; does the individual who relates the tale. Mr. Lockley grew up in the West : and spent a part of his life on an I Indian reservation. During the war he was a Y. M. C. A. secretary in . France. He has been a frequent campus visitor and is well acquainted with many of the students and faculty members, who, like the pioneers, have been written up in his column. It is said that Mr. Lockley prob- . ably knows as many, if not more people, than any other man in the state, as he has touched every sec- j tion of it and people are his hobby. Speaker Droll Humorist During the past, Mr. Lockley frequently has addressed classes in journalism here and is a* familiar , and popular figure around the shack. He speaks well, his ability to talk entertainingly and instruc tively depending in part on his power to portray people and in the droll vein of humor running through his writing and conversa tion. The speaker will be the guest of j Sigma Delta Chi, national honor ary journalaism fraternity for men, at luncheon this noon. A song bv the Girls’ Glee club will be a feature of today’s as sembly. SONG CONTEST POPULAR Contributions Accepted to March 1; Two Prizes Are Offered Tlie song writing contest spon sored by Ray Graham’s Collegians, has already called forth a surpris ing amount of campus talent, ac cording to Junior Seton, manager. Contributions will be accepted until March 1, says Seton, and on Sat urday night, March 8, the Colle gians will play all of the composi tions and the crowd will pick the winner at that time. First prize for the best song will be admission to all of the dances given by the Collegians for the re mainder of the school year and as either a man or a woman may be i the prize winner, this offer includes his or her partner. The second prize is to be $10. Every effort will* be made to have the winning songs published, it is said. Y.W.C.A. to Give Annual Banquet Next Wednesday Results of Election to be Announced The big annua] Y. W. C. A. ban quet given for all sustaining mem bers of the association, old and ■new officers, and the advisory board, will be held at 6 o’clock, next Wednesday evening at the College Side Inn. The outstanding event on the program of the evening will bo the announcement of the election re sults for the 1924-25 officers of the campus Y. W. C. A. The elec tion of officers is to be held from 9 to 4 o’clock next Wednesday. Tickets for the banquet will be 50 cents, and will be on sale at the various women’s living organi zations on the campus, and at the Y. W. 0. A. bungalow. All women on the campus who are members of the Y. W. C. A. are invited to attend the banquet, and all tickets must be purchased before Monday evening. I All Acts Must he Turned in Before End of Week — Announcement was made yesterday by Ed Tapfer, Junior Week-end chair man, of the appointment of Don Park as manager of the Junior Vod Vi), to succeed Jack High. The work of tlie manager includes the business end, advertising and seat sale, while the selection and direc tion of the acts is under the charge of the director, Dave Swanson. The final call for acts is issued for this week. The committee is busy at present reviewing the acts which have been turned in so far. They report that many of the acts are promising and several are unique. Actual work on the directing and finishing of the acts will begin the first of next term. Thus it is nec essary for the entire program to be outlined before this term ends. All appointments for the review ing of acts must be made through Dave Swanson, it is stated. He can be found by phone at 186. All pros pective acts must be reviewed before March 7 as the program will be chosen on March 10. « The committee states that if a suit-! able musical comedy is handed in to j them, it will be featured. The com mittee desires that the program be j balanced and that each separate act i shall be a finished production when 1 the show is finally given. Work has already begun on stage settings and the group in charge promises some clever scenic effects. They feel that a large part of the effectiveness of the program will de- ; pend upon the correct background and early work along this line will help to assure its success. Probably more than one perfor- ' mancc of the Vod-Vil will be given ! this year, so tlfat the townspeople may have an opportunity to see the performances. The exact method of putting on the two performances has not yet been announced. It has been suggested by several interested students that the Vod-Vil be made an event of Mother’s Week end, as there is very little entertain ment for the mothers when they visit the campus in the spring. The Vod-Vil is the big spring term event, next to Junior week-end and the committee believes that it will be as good as ever this year. They especially urge the phoning in of acts this week as the program will be made definite then and the rest of the time devoted to polishing and brining into form all the numbers. There is still an opportunity for any students with an act in prospect to win a place on the program. MISS BROEKSMIT WILL BE HOSTESS AT DEAN’S TEA Miss Helen Broeksmit, head of Susan Campbell hall, will be hostess this afternoon at the weekly tea held for students by the dean of women, in the absence of Mrs. Ksterlv, who is out of town for sev eral days. Tea will be served at 667 East 12th street, between 4 anl 6 o’clock, and all women stu dents are cordially invited. Joe Maddock Back Again to Start Wheels Going for Practice Next Week UNIFORMS TO BE ISSUED Men Turning Out Must Get .Outfits Before Sunday from Old Gymnasium Joe Maddock, Oregon’s brand new football mentor, arrived on the campus last, night. Last time he came for a visit, you might say a get-acquainted visit. This time, however, he comes for business as any one who strolls out to the prac tice field next Monday will find out to his own satisfaction. Every thing seems to be in ship-shape, ready for the new grid boss to start, the wheels in motion. Spring Workout to Start Next Monday afternoon is tho date set for the candidates to crawl into the old moleskins and trot out to the old sawdust patch. On his previous visit, Joe did not reveal much as to how he intended to son duet the spring session, but it is the general belief that the most of the time will be given over to fundamentals and general instruc tions in Maddock *s style of foot ball. It is imperative that the men who are going to turn out for the spring grid training draw their uni forms and necessary equipment be fore Sunday. The issuing will start today at the stock room on the second floor of the varsity section of the old gymnasium. A trip to the stock room will con vince the casual observer that there is plenty of equipment to fit Oregon’s football candidates up in great style. In fact, if there were as many ca/ndldntes as there is material for them, the coaching ■ staff would have to be greatly en larged. Shoes Long Suit Shoes seem to be the long suit. There are more than 300 pairs of shoes, all stitched, patched, oiled and shelved by Caretaker Everett. There are shoes of most every size that a college football player could wear, some of them have rubber cleats for practice, others have great long mud cleats for soggy fields, while' the others have just the ordinary inch cleat. There are over 1200 pairs of shoul der pads on tap, approximately 50 ! of which are brand new. Top this ! off with about 250 headgears, 190 : pairs of pants, scads of sweaters j and sox, and you will see that the j men will be pretty well taken care | of during the spring workout. NEW SOCIETY TO MEET Collegium Augustale Will Convene for First Time Thursday The first regular monthly meet mg of the new classical society on the campus, Collegium Augustale, will be held at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow tonight at 7:30. The pro gram for the evening is being ar ranged by a committee of which Lois Inman is chairman and will in clude papers on Horace as a basis for the evening’s'discussion. The committees on a motto and on the nomination of officers will report at this meeting during the business session. Those who have been asked to take part in the pro gram and will speak on different aspects of Horace are Evelyn Underwood, Josephine Rice and Prof. F. S. Dunn, head of the Latin department. GROUNDS TO BE SEEDED Plots Around Both Oregon and Art Buildings Will be Planted The little strip of ground along the north side of Thirteenth ave nue, where the old pipe line was dug up last summer was smoothed and seeded yesterday. The ground had to be left to settle a long time before it was ready to seed. The little square on the south , side of the Oregon building will be filled in and seeded as soon as the ground dries, according to II. M. Fisher, superintendent of the University buildings and grounds. After several weeks to allow for settling, the ground in front of the art building will be re-seeded. —o Oregon Player in Game Last Night <5> :Mtismwrrw Hobson VARSITY SWIMMERS TO MEET MULTNOMAH _ I Men Show Improvement Since Last Contest The varsity swimming team will meet the Multnomah water sharks in a return go which wil] be held at Portland, in the club tank, Saturday evening, at 8. Although the varsity aggregation was slipped the small end of the score it is no indication that a closer meet will be staged. Coach Fahl’s men have been put ting in some hard licks in preparation for the fray. [n the workouts all of the men have shown considerable improvement over the last meet. Either seven or eight men will make the trip, states the swimming mentor. The men that will probably take the trip and be entered in the dif ferent events are Palmer, capt., Mc Cabe, and Horsfall, 50 yard dash; Yoran and Palmer, 100 yard back stroke; Sinclair and Yoran, 100 yard I breaststroke; Horsfall and McCabe, dives; Palmer and McCabe, 100 yard dash; Horsfall, Herron and Yoran, 220 yard dash; Wiswall, Samuels or Ileider, plunge; Herron, McCabe, Horsfall and Palmer will swim the relay. The team will leave for Port land Friday noon. SEATTLE ARCHITECT TO BE CAMPUS VISITOR SATURDAY Paul D. Richardson, Seattle archi tect, will he in Eugene this week end and will look over the campus, visiting the school of architecture and allied arts. He is to arrive Saturday to visit Prof. W. R. B. Willcox, of the architecture depart ment. Mr. Richardson is the archi tect who designed the building for the Cornish School of Dramatics in Seattle. During the war he was resident architect for the govern ment housing bureau at Bremerton. on VICTOR nS.C.FROY Cougar Quintet Shows Up in Spurt During Last Eight Minutes of Contest GAME HAS 33-29 SCORE Latham Loops Most Baskets for Varsity With Hobson Playing Close Second Tn a contest, featured throughout with periods of thrills and of loose playing, the Oregon quintet was victorious over Washington State, taking the heavy end of a 33-29 score. Although the score indicates :i liardfouglit game, the varsity was resting on the advantage of a good lead, until the 1 final minutes of play, when the Cougar squad threat ened to even the count, by rolling up 12 points. At the start of the fracas, Ore gon swept the W. S. C. five off their feet, by a whirlwind drive, netting 10 points, before the north ern squad could cope with the speedy attack. Hobson started the Oregon scoring machine by looping in three baskets. Playing Not Brilliant Unable to check the early drive of Reinhart’s men, the visiting quintet called time-out, and were able to hold the Oregon squad by better teamwork. Outside of a few brief spurts in scoring, neither team played a brilliant game in the first half. By stages of steady offense work, the winning five were load ing at the end of the first half by a 20-8 score. The first period was fairly fast, with both teams continuously work ing up and down the floor. Each quintet got a good share of chances at the hoop, but seemed unable to locate the basket. Not only in the first stage of the game, but throughout, checking was hardly used by either squad, the opposing forwards finding little difficulty in working down by the basket. Varsity Starts Scoring In the second period, Oregon again started a short scoring ram page, with Hunk Latham playing the stellar role. Although closely chocked, the big boy found oppor tunity to swish the netting, with some of his woll-known long range shooting. After the few minutes of opening play in the second quarter, the game settled down to a loose but fast stylo of play, with occa sional shots by the Orogon scoring combination. * Wholly unexpected, Washington State opened up a speedy scoring drive in the last five minutes, run ning up points in one, two, three order. Morgan, the high-point man for the Cougar quintet, was the loader in the attempt to even the score. With dangerous regularity, ho broke away from the defense and dropped in a counter for his squad. In the final minutes of play, the Oregon squad tightened its defense and ended the rally. Latham Plays Well Although the squad played a very mediocre brand of basketball, not a little credit is duo to Latham, who rolled up a total of lti points. Handicapped by close checking, the big center did find the basket with some consistency. Hobson also shared much of the burden of scoring, gathering 11 counters. By winning this game, Oregon, (Continued on Page Two.) Doctors Are Chosen as 6Ideal Husbands9 by Wesleyan Girls (This story was received from j John Dierilorff, who is handling pub licity work in connection with the fi nancial campaign of Wesleyan col lege at Macon, Georgia. Dierdorff was formerly connected with the | timeraId.—The Editor.) Macon, Georgia.—A doctor is the! “ideal” husband. At least tliat is j what 17 out of 45 girls in the senior' class at Wesleyan college seem to think, if their answers to a recent questionnaire can be taken as a re- j liable guide. .Just what process of reasoning led nearly 40 per cent of the girls to declare themselves in favor of a doc tor husband is not apparent from the : answers, but it may be that they think the presence of a medical man in the family would be reassuring. To be able to know on good authority when Junior really had the colic and when he was only practicing the “baby blues,” would save a lot of worry. Lawyers come next in order of marital popularity. Eight girls want the men who win their hearts to be legal rights. Right after the lawyers come the ministers, five of them. The proportion seems a little low, but per haps by working overtime five min isters could set aright the sins of eight lawyers and conduct the con (Continued on page three)
