Managers Will Have
Weekly Meetings
Of particular significance to
social fraternities is a cooperative
movement among living organiza
tions to be inaugurated immediately
under the leadership of Dean
Walker, student advisor, and Lilian
Tingle, head of the department of
household arts.
The nature of this movement is
not one of group purchasing as now
maintained at other colleges; rather
it is to be. a clearing house of ideas
and suggestions whereby organiza
tions may profit from the experi
ence of crthers.
Dean Walker Sponsor
Dean Walker is instituting an ac
counting system to which houses
may subscribe. Expert accountants
are to check over house records at
the end of each month. A. nominal
sum is to be charged, to wit, $2
per month for each house, for which
a service will be rendered, giving
exactly the status of the house
financially, whether it is falling be
hind or geting ahead in its expenses.
The cost of doing this is not met
by the small sum charged, but the
remainder is paid from funds of the
office.
In addition each month sta
tistics aro taken of the operating
costs of the houses whose books are
audited. This matter is to be con
fidential and will probably be in
code that the name of the house
from which such material is ob
tained will not be known to other
houses.
A series of visible average ex
penditure charts for various com
modities is to be prepared also. By
comparing the monthly costs of
these commodities in his own house, j
the manager will know at a glance
whether or not he is within the
bounds of correct management.
Several Have Accepted
This .offer of accounting service,
first made to the inter-fraternity
council meeting last term, has been
accepted, by several organizations,
and is still open to subscription.
Miss Tingle is inaugurating a
plan no less practica*l. Beginning
this term, she is setting aside an
hour a week when present and pros
pective house managers may con
gregate for a round table discussion
of problems, particularly those of
the kitchen.
Here suitable menus will bo dis
cussed, practical recipes suggested
and sundry other problems thrashed
out which now perplex the house
manager, and which at present he
must solve without assistance.
Miss Tingle asks that all inter
ested in attending such a conferenco
meet her in the household arts de
partment at 12:40 tomorrow, to ar
range a regular hour for weekly
meeting.

The University will hold Mother’s
Week-end the first Sunday in May,

The entire junior week-end eom

Universities: East vs. West
******
Oregon’s Superior Campus
By Phoebe Louise Wright
Middle western universities taken
as a group are distinctive in their
personality from that of the Univer
sity of Oregon. The distinction is
noticeable particularly in the social
atmosphere and in the actual ap
pearance of the universities.
The University of Oregon is typi
cal of a certain pioneer spirit which
pervades the entire far west, where
the enthusiasm and vigor of a new
country are found. The school is
still in a state of experimentation
and is constantly working toward
its ideal of perfection.
There is a certain earnestness
found on the Oregon campus which
is not found in the middle west. The
students seem to feel a sense of
responsibility to themselves and to
their state—though they do not,
perhaps, think of it in exactly those
terms—and their idea is to get as
much as possible out of their oppor
tunities for education; whereas in
many of the middle western uni
versities, the idea is, with a cer
tain percentage of the* students,
rather that of attending a more or
less fashionable winter resort, for
the purpose of having as much fun
as possible. The* social life at Ore
gon is not so pronounced, a fact
which is very much to Oregon’s
credit, because that which is in
dulged in is enjoyed to its fullest
extent, and dating doesn’t become
the bore that it otherwise would.
There are more students, both men.,
and women, who datei at Oregon in
proportion to the enrollment than at
the average middle western college.
There a minority does most of the
going about, and their support to
scholastic standing, as may be
imagined, is none too great. The
Oregon much talked of democracy
may have a lot to do with the popu
larity of dating.
The loyalty of the Oregon student
to his alma mater is no greater than
that of the middle western student
and one often feels that it is too
much talked of to ring as deeply as
the Oregon student would like one
to think.
The Oregon campus is more attrac
tive by far than the average middle
western university, but this is
largely true because the campuses
of all western schools -have the ad
vantage of evergreens, whereas the
middlewest was greatly slighted in
the apportioning of trees when the
world was young. Maples and oaks
furnish most df the shade. The
roses on the Oregon campus give to
the campus a note of beauty that
is seldom if ever found in the mid
dle west.
Swimming
Sidelights
Some of the spectators must have
missed their dinner to get there in
time to grab a front seat—but it was
sure wrorth it.
Counting everyone there was easily
400 packed around the tank; and
frem the number of feminine patrons
the early rush for seats resembled a
Monday bargain sale.
• * *
It was hard to judge who suffered
the moBt; but from the expressions
noticeable on the spectators’ faces
the strain was greater for them than
for the swimmers.
• *■ •
One young lady couldn’t disting
uish between the jaek-back-knife and
the forward flip-flop; but her escort
found that easier to explain than the
mechanism the plungers used to get
their air “While they coasted along
just like a steam-boat.”
Burroughs’ work on the diving
board won much well-earned ap
plause; and Oregon students who saw
him work last night wish him well
when he gets to Paris next summer.
All the ladies appreciated his smile.
• * •
It is possible that some of those
planning to attend the student body
dance worked so hard watching tho
swimmers, especially the 100 yard
dash men, that they will be unable to
perform with their usual vivacity; but
they must believe it was a sacrifice
that Oregon will appreciate.
European Trip
Is Inexpensive
Opportunity Is Given
to College Men
Under special arrangements with
the Cunard steamship line, college
men are arranging an economical ex
cursion to England, France, and
other European countries this sum
mer, sailing from New York for Ply
mouth, Southampton, and Cherbourg
on June 21, on the S. S. Saxonia, and
returning home from Southampton
September 6.
Only college students are eligible
but students of all colleges are wel
come to join the excursion. The
|‘‘Saxonia’s” entire third class has
been reserved for the college men and
no others will Be admitted.
The cost for the round trip has
'been placed at $165, and, according to
11. D. Adams of “The Oaks,” Ithaca,
|N. Y., who is chairman of the excuT
S’on, the low rate of exchange prevail
ing abroad makes it possible for stu
!dents to enjoy two months of sight
seeing and exhibitions, fairs, athletic
meets and kindred attractions for
$400.
Some of the important events

abroad, the coming summer, will be
the British Empire Exposition, Lon
don; the Olympic (James, Paris; the
Ancient Tailteann Games, to be re
vived in Dublin; and many lesser
happenings throughout Great Britain
nd the continent.
Mr. Adams also states that the ex
clusive third cabin will answer the in
creased demand for an economical and
comfortable mode of transportation
to Europe. On. this excursion non
students and immigrants will be posi
tively excluded from the third class,
thereby eliminating what has been
the economical traveler’s objection to
the modern third class.
Students are invited to take their
musical instruments along, so that
mpromptu parties, “song fests” and
musical evenings may be the rule. The
Cunard line will arrange to store the
instruments until the ship returns in
September. The chairman also prom
ises “Good wholesome British food
four times a day.”
Road Advised
by Crockatt
Construction of an east and west
ail line through Central Oregon was
dvocated as necessary for the proper
economic and social development of
the state by Peter Crockatt, professor
of economics at the University, in tes
timony before the Oregon public ser
vice commission in Portland yester
day. Professor Crockatt has made an
extensive study of the railread and
transportation conditions in the state.
Professor Crockatt stated he be
lieved the line devised by Harriman
for Central Oregon is the best since
it taps the best stand of timber in the
United States.
“Public necessity does not mean
only economic necessity, but may
mean social and military necessity, as
well, and the road is certainly neces
sary from a standpoint of national
defense,” Professor Crockatt de
clared.

The right kind of a salary and a sea

tract Huntington from his now ven

,as that is concerned, Huntington

built his home here and has many
friends pulling for his success. Hunt
ington is still a young man and has
many more years as a football men
tor ahead of him. But he looks
ahead and finds that the future of
■a football coach, or a coach of any
kind, is not a certainty, so he has de
cided on something more secure.
Business is not entirely new to
Huntington. While mentor of the
Webfoot teams, he has been interest
ed in a big industry and it has been
profitable to him.
There are other athletic coaches
with the same idea, in fact our pre
sent football coaching staff is a good
example. Joe Maddock has interest
in a line of mercantile stores and he
coaches more for the love of the
game. Bart Spellman has coached
Oregon lines for some time, but he
has also been active in the business
field in Seattle.
Baz Williams, our successful fresh
man coach, has a bakery business
here in Eugene and coaches because
he likes to be in touch with foot
ball. His two teams have been good
ones and a number of his proteges
are going to wear varsity uniforms
next fall.

The Olympic trials for this region
will be run in conjunction with the
Pacific coast conference track meet,
providing the other members of the
conference sanction tho plan. The
A. A. U. seems to be in favor of tho
idea so it remains up to the confer
ence members.
In staging the trials this way, it
will be beneficial to all concerned.
In the first place, the A. A. U. of
ficials will see the college athletes
at their best and in the best compe
tition of the years. Secondly, the
athletes will kill two birds with one
stone. They won’t have to compete
in two separate meets and will be in
better shape.

Naturally, there will be a host of
athletes and the going will be crowd
ed, but two days should weed them
out and the second day events ought
to be thrillers.

Swimmers come and swimmers go,

Multnomah Athletic club and devel
ops more of them. Jack has been
with the Portland institution for a
long time and has turned out some
champions in his time.
Norman Boss, holder of a number
of world marks, used to work under
Cody. Happy Kuehn, fancy diving
champ of the world, is a Cody pro
duct. Not only men, but women have
succeeded after heing coached, by
Cody. Connie Myers, Thelma Payne,
both national diving champions for
several years, got many of their point
ers from Jack Cody. Dave Pall,
Stanford diver, is another of Cody’s
proteges. These are just a few of
the successful swimmers and divers
Cody has trained.
He gets them young, teaches them
the finer points of the water game
and then they go up and keep climb
ing. Cody is successful with high
schoolers to a great degree. Ben
