Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1924 NUMBER 114 COUNCIL’S ACT AROUSES TALK Abolishment of Doughnut Program of Athletics Argued Pro and Con WOMEN NOT AFFECTED Views Given by Members of Physical Education Faculty Favor Changes Much comment has arisen over the spontaneous action taken by the inter-fraternity council as to the future of doughnut athletics, at its meeting Wednesday evening. At present, the prospects of any inter fraternity competition are very gloomy, unless the council modifies its action. Baseball, track and swimming are the major doughnut events scheduled for the spring quarter, which may be barred. In deciding on this course, the council stated as one of its main reasons for the action that the freshmen or students participating in inter-fraternity competition were seriously handicapped in grades by the time given to these sports. Instructor Defends Sports Surprised at the attitude taken by the council, Rudolph Fahl of the department of physical educa tion stated that it was his belief that the grades received by dough nut athletes surpassed those of the “lounge-lizards,” or were on an average with the majority of the students on the campus. Inter fraternity competition, he con tinued, gave the minor athlete a chance to enjoy athletic competi tion; also, it stimulated these men to receive a proper amount of •exercise in a pleasing manner. “Hank” Foster, also of the de partment and in charge of doughnut athletics, stated that he' was of the opinion that the system of dough nut sports was the backbone of the largest universities in the United States and that he was of the belief that the present system of inter-fraternity competition on this campus might be modified, the abolishment of plaques and trophies and that no pressure be applied to force fraternities to enter the doughnut league. Action Thought Hasty A three-sport letterman in the University expressed his opinion that “Doughnut athletics is the only opportunity offered the major ity of fellows on the campus who are not of varsity calibre, and the program should be modified before going to the extreme of abolishing this form of competition.” At present the doughnut leagues of handball and wrestling will go to a conclusion, but future doughnut leagues are now in a very doubtful position, with class competition probably substituting fraternity competition. Men Feel Relieved The general sentiment on the campus among fraternity men was one of relief that the matter- had been decided. A number of parti cipants in the various sports de clared they had felt “driven” by their houses into sports, but most of j them favored some method where- i by athletes for major sports could be discovered. Many of those who favored the change held that the inter-frater nity council had acted somewhat hastily; that that action should not (Continued on page foril.) o Student Playing in Guild Comedy O----—<*> Bernard McBhillips FINALS OF DOUGHNUT WRESTLING TO BE HELD Semi-finals of Yesterday Keep Fans on Toes The finals of the doughnut wrest ling championships will be held this afternoon in the men’s gymnasium commencing at four o ’clock. The semi-finals that were held yesterday were full of interest and kept the fans on their toes. The bouts today promise to be real exhibitions of grappling.

Le Foyer Francois to Give Program of French Music “Ici on parle Francais.” Not only is “la langue Franeais” spoken in Le Foyer Francais, the French club of the University, but no other tongue is tolerated at the meetings held twice a month at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow. A program is presented after the business is transacted and later games are played—all in the language of the Gauls. Music, literature and the many customs and manners of the people of that country have provided much interest lately, for often a professor of the romance language depart ment lectures. Sometimes towns people, speakers of French, attend. The club has a real purpose—that of giving the students a chance to ifte the French language outside of class in a conversational way. An evening of French music will be presented by the club next Tues day. Folk music, which is not so familiar as the more formal music of France, will be featured. “By this program, it is hoped to arouse an interest in French music,” said Miss Lois G-ray, of the romance language department. “It should give a clearer idea of the folk songs and national music of that most in teresting country. French folk music is unusually charming and is not exceptionally well known.” Elizabeth Honkanen is chairman Continued on page three) HIGHEST GRADE FOR GROUP 1.71 Beta Gamma Sigma Leads in List of Honoraries for Fall Term Averages FIGURES NOT COMPLETE Phi Lambda Theta Second; Mortar Board Is Third; Number Included Is 22 Beta Gamma Sigma, men’s honor ary fraternity in business adminis tration, heads the list of profes sional and honorary organizations in grade averages for fall term -with an average, of 1.71.

MEN SIGN FOR SPORTS Sophomores Changing Class Hours Urged to Report at Office « -- All sophomores who expect to complete their physical education requirement next term, are request ed to come to the office in the men’s gymnasium and see the physical education director, Harry A. Scott. Also sophomores who expect to change the hour in which they will take class work must report to the office bffore the final examinations start. The physical ability men who are not signed up for a sport in the spring must do so at once. The freshmen should look up the hour in which they have signed to take gymnasium class work for next term. The director wishes that this matter be attended to so as to save trouble dater.

AMENDMENTS PASSED AT STUDENT ASSEMBLY Program Given by School of Music Students A group of students in the school of music furnished a program at the student body gathering yester day morning which was welcomed enthusiastically by students as a brief interruption in the pressure of the work at the end of the term. The business of the meeting con sisted in the passing of two amend ments, proposed by the forensic council, to the by-laws of the A. S. U. O. and short talks were given by the debate and wrestling coaches on spring activities. The amendments passed provided for a change in the size and style of the gold “O,” awarded to mem bers of the varsity debating team and for the award of an “0” to the manager of the team. Both were passed without discussion after their presentation by Walter Mal colm, who explained the purpose of changing the “O.” The reason for this is that it will make the award more distinctive and will standard ize the pin by adding to it an in scription of the word “forensic” and the year in which it is won. Mr. Malcolm also explained that the members of the debating team and forensic council feel that an award is due the manager of the team for his work is equal to that of the debaters. Professor Hugh E. Eosson, debate coach, announced the schedule of contests for the rest of the year, and Earl Widmer, wrestling coach, was introduced by Claude Bobin son, president of the A. S. U. O., wdio was in charge of the meeting. Mr. Widmer’s remarks were fol lowed by a varsity yell for the members of the wrestling team who are to meet O. A. C. this weekend. The musical selections concluded the program and consisted of sev eral groups of stringed instruments with piano and flute accompani ments. The students who took part in this program were Jane O ’Eeilly, Gwendolen Lampshire, Katie Pot ter, Beulah Clark, Nina Warnock, Claire Collette, htary Burton, Jean Harper and Delbert Moore. s VACATION WORK BARRED Students Cannot Make Up Study by Correspondence Course Following the rule adopted by the University before Christmas vaca tion, no enrollment in correspon dence study during spring vacation will be allowed University students who are registered on the campus. Formerly, when the holidays were longer, students were allowed to make up work in this way, but, be cause of the short length of time given now, this plan is no longer considered, said Dr. Dan E. Clark, of the University extension divi sion. FQREIGNSGHOLAB TO SPEAK TODAY Statesman and Sociologist, Oscar Jaszi, Formerly in Cabinet of Karolyi LECTURES ON HUNGARY i __ Faculty Men Hear Talk at Anchorage; Middle Europe Described as Helpless A distinguished Hungarian schol ar, sociologist and liberal states man of Karolyi’s cabinet, Prof. Oscar Jaszi, is a visitor on the campus today. Last evening, Pro fessor Jaszi was given an informal dinner at the Anchorage, and today he is scheduled to speak twice to students and all others interested. He will give a lecture on the sub ject, “Bed and White Bolshevism in Hungary” at 10 a. m. in Yillard hall, and at 2:15, in room 105, Com merce building, he will deliver a classroom lecture on “The Present Crisis of European" Marxist Social ism.” Hungarian Government Feudal He described at dinner the prob lem of Europe from the point of view of the countries of the old Austrian empire. He has no very live hope that Europe can escape a catastrophe. The best,chance hei sees is in the development of eco nomic federations. He regards the present government of Hungary with its feudal ideals as an ob stacle. His hope is that somo con ditions may be attached to the forthcoming international loan to Hungary that may make possible a more liberal situation in that country. In such a case, Hungary might conceivably become the cen ter of a Danubian confederacy. He cannot see much encourage ment in the League of Nations as at presont constituted, but be lieves that the entrance of America might make possible the growth of a new spirit in the league and in Europe, by which war might be avoided and European reconstruc tion began. Faints Dismal Picture To every solution suggested he sees almost insurmountable ob stacles, and the picture he painted was not an optimistic one. Professor Jaszi, whose visit to the campus is under the auspices of the administration, was one of the most active figures in the high-minded but unfortunate Karolyi attempt to establish liberalism in war-broken Hungary. “His mission at ’ the University of Oregon and in America is to re veal the meaning of this endeavor i in th& hope of helping mold world opinion to a recognition, on the one hand, of the real character of the White Regime that now holds Hun gary in its iron grip, and on the other hand, to marshal the assis tance of world opinion to Hungary’s better hopes and strivings,” said Dean George Rebec, of the gradu ate school, in commenting on tlie sociologist’s purpose in coming to this country. Liberals Attempt Reforms Professor Jaszi became a mem ber of the liberal government es tablished by Count Karolyi, when, j at the end of the war, Hungary j collapsed and the old feudal aristo cratic regime, which represented one of the most reactionary ays- I terns in all Europe, was, for the ! moment, not only discredited, but ' paralyzed. Count Karolyi, though a man be longing to the most ancient and distinguished of Hungarian fami lies, was, in his political and social thinking, a liberal of a type similar to that of the men who carried through the first Russian revolution. The aims of the new government were to liberalize the political life of Hungary by breaking down the privileges and powers of the feudal noblesse, establishing universal suf frage, and in general purifying and rendering responsible the organs and processes of government. Radicals Oppose Program On the economic side, the pro gram included, first, the breaking down of the vast estates held by the nobility, and parcelling the land among the peasantry. Limitations were to be put upon exploitation of powers of finance and big busi ness. Labor was to receive not only security as to conditions of employment, hours and health, but (Continued on page two ) Filling Station for Thirsty Pens to be in Library A fountain pen filling station, which "'ill demand a fee of one cent for extracted service, is soon to be installed in the library in the lobby of the reserve de partment. The steps in the filling process are indicated by a little individual figure which adds to the attractiveness of the machine. “Wonder of wonders,” says a description of the filler, “a place where thirsty pens may be re vived! Turn a handle and a lit tlo ink well in front of the ma chine fills and relieves the pen’s thirst. The unnecessary ink is wiped on a little wiper on the ma chine.” Neither the use to which the money will be put, nor the color of the ink to be used, has been announced. FRESHMAN TRACK MEN TRAIN HARD FOR MEET Milers Have Fast Team; Five Races Listed Fresh distance and 220 men had their tryouts yesterday to deter mine who should compete in the intor-class races Saturday. It was necessary to run two heats to de cido the 220 candidates and the finals will be run this afternoon at 2 o’clock. The mile race was one of the fastest run yet this season and shows the first year men have ma terial which can be developed into real varsity timber in time. The men who wjll represent the green cappers in the four-mile relay Sat urday are: Conley, Hunk, Button and Hartwell. Coach Hayward will pick four of the following to represent the yearling crew in the 880 relay: Price, Clark, Extra, Flannigan, Rodda and Giovando. Those to run will be determined this afternoon. Racing stock of the junior and senior class has gone up by the ap pearance on the cinder path of B. Lucas an old letterman, whose specialty is the 440. This will give the upper-classmen a further ad vantage; but the sophomore team has a bunch of fighters who are de termined to put up a real battle. Saturday’s meet will start at 2:30 o’clock, with five races on the pro gram. All the races will be relays and will be run off according to the following schedule*: 440, four-mile, one-mile, 880 and the two-mile race. California Wins Hoop Title for Pacific League OAKLAND, Cal., March 6.— Tho University of California team took tho Pacific Coast honors to night when tho University of Washington Huskies fell before the Bruin offense by a final score of 28 to 25. This is the first time since the 1920-21 season that the Bears have taken the con ference basketball title*. The first game of the series went to California by a one-point margin and, although both of tho Bear victories were by close scores, the* two straight • victories eliminates tho necessity of the third game. OREGON LOSES DEBATE MEETS University of Washington Gets 3 to 0 Decision and Stanford Wins, 2 to 1 WORLD COURT QUESTION Varsity Maintains Should Adopt; Northern School Offers Strong Opposition By Marian Lowry Clinging to a single fact through out their constructive speeches and rebuttal, that compulsory jurisdic tion was the only force that would make tho world court an effective 'body, the Washington debaters thrust an unexpected point into their argument, and, rejecting any answer, defeated Oregon affirmative on an alternate plan, and won last night’s contest by a 3 to 0 vote*. A wire sent from Palo Alto said Ilerschel Brown and Glenwood Archer, Oregon’s negative, lost to Stanford, 2-1. The question up for contention in the annual triangular contest was, “Resolved, that the United States should enter the permanent Court of International Justice under the plan laid down by the late President Harding.” Arguments Are Given The Oregon man, Martin Moore and Ernest Henrikson, built up their arguments on the facts that the present world court was in accord ance with the United States’ past policies and actions, and to enter the world court now would be> only the logical climax and fulfillment of those policies; that America’s entrance into the organization would build up international law in its development; that the United States, by such an action, would consistently bring the world peace which it has so long advocated; that if the United States did not enter the world court, the logical progress towards world peace would be retarded; and that America, to insure future prosperity both for herself and for the world in gen eral, must enter the world court. The Oregon men attacked the issue of the Washington debaters on the grounds that the time had not come for compulsory jurisdic tion, as the idea of a world court is now, and to use compulsory juris diction as a force would only an tagonize nations to war, rather than to urge them to seek peace; and that the American public and Sen ate would never accept a policy which would force nations to pre sent their disputes before world ar bitration. Plan Claimed Futile The Washington team, composed of Harold Morford and Lawrence Seltzer, in its contention, admitted the affirmative’s views, then played up the point that the United States could probably aid the> world court more by staying out, thus working on the principle that America’s rejection would be an in centive for the world to come to peace sooner. The first Washing ton speaker, Harold Morford, based his constructive talk on the fact that the court was not functioning, could not funtion, and never would funtion, because it had had no (Continued on page three) School for Scandal, Sheridan9s Satire,Has Successful Showing By Patricia Novlan Byrne The premiere of the “School for Scandal,” Sheridan’s brilliant satire ion the people of the later eighteenth century, given at Guild hall last night by the junior and senior com panies, was a very worthy one and in some respects a remarkable one. The most insignificant of the char acters were played with sincerity. The play itself is a delight and is noteworthy for its brilliant literary execution. The interpretation had all tho inconsequential effervesence that Sheridan wrote into his amusing drama. Bernard MePhillips presented Sir Peter Teazle as the natural, polished, serious and generally refined char acter that ho is, but there were hints I of a senility which was unfair to • that fine man of a little over fifty. Lady Teazle’s part demands a charming personality, vivacity and good diction, all of which was given it by Elizabeth Robinson, plus a treat to the eye which Miss Robinson fur nished. We might hope for just a little more spontaneity, but that is all. One has learned to expect intelli gent interpretation of difficult parts from Darrel Larsen, and in this play he does full justice to the subtlety of Joseph Surface’s character. He plays him with a fine discretion— almost, one might say, insidiously. The engaging character of Charles Surface was interpreted with a fine gayety of spirit by David Swanson. This part was, in addition, given the (Continued on page three)
