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

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.

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

of the contest.
The names of possible editors for
the column are also wanted. A

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

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,

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.

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.

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,

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
