Men Urged to Take Training
j; Work More Seriously
HARD SCHEDULE AHEAD
Washington Relay Carnival
Comes This Month
The track meet scheduled at 2:30
o’clock today has been called off by i
Coach Hayward because of the funer
al of Ronald Reid.
The relay carnival at the University;
of Washington is less than a month;
away, and it is necessary, claims Coach
Hayward, for the men to take their!
training work seriously if they expect,
to make a creditable showing at the |
northern school.
Oregon will probably be represented
at Seattle by two relay teams and one (
entrant in the pentathlon. This will
mean that at least nine men will have
an opportunity to make the first trip
away from the local field. Bill plans
to enter teams in the mile and two
mile relays. This means four quarter
and four half milers must be developed
by May 3.
Medley Bace Added
To the usual list of class A events
making up a relay carnival, the com
mittee this year, at the request of sev
eral schools, has added a medley race.
This race is run by a team of four
men, one running 220 yards, one 440,
one 880 and one 1320 yards.
Reports of other track meets and
from other track coaches demonstrates
the fact that Oregon will be up against
unusually hard competition this year
in several events. O. A. C. track fol
lowers are jubilant at the return of
Ray Dodge, who is a distance man and
a prospective Olympic team runner.
From Washington State comes word of
“Truck” Davis, an all around man in
the field events and whose specialty
is putting.the shot and heaving the
discus.
Hartranft is Star
Then there is one man who will
undoubtedly cause the shot-putters of
the countries that anticipate winning
the bullet heaving contest at Paris
this summer some worry. That is
Hartranft of Stanford. The person
who, last Saturday, in an exhibition,
flung the 16 pound- lead pellet four
inches past the world’s record mark;
only to be disqualified for stepping
over the line. He also heaves the
discus close to the worlds record di
stance.
Still, Oregon has Tuck and Spear
ow, both masters in their line, and
both working hard this spring. Tuck’s
knee is still being treated, but there
is hope that he will be in shape to
break another record with the jav
elin this spring, nevertheless. There
are several others who are showing up
among those trying for the team as
sure point winners this spring, and
as men who will give a real account
of themselves when the real battles
eome.
PLANS DETAILED FOR
CAMPUS STRUCTURES
(Continued from page one)
approach to the upper level of the
Memorial Court, which in itself is
150x150 feet. The Auditorium with
its domed roof in front of the great
pyramid to house the gridiron over
the stage Berves as a fitting climax
to the architectural composition.
Around this Court, it is proposed
to group studio and class room
buildings, music, drama and crea
tive arts. These, in turn, have
secondary courts to the east and
west of the upper terrace of the
Memorial Court, separated only by
as arcaded passage which makes for
interest in architectural scale and
composition.
Crowning the Court itself—a
group of statuary is proposed, com
memorating the deeds of sacrifice
and valor of the sons and daughters
of Oregon. In front of this group
will be a rostrum from which the
entire student body may be ad-1
dressed. Here will be held the great ]
rallies and here the traditions of
Oregon will be guarded and enun- i
rioted.
Auditorium to Seat 5,000 •
The Auditorium building will be :
a structure 150x200 feet, designed
to seat approximately 5,000. It will
bo approached through the colon
nade towering above the Memorial
Court, through the Memorial Rotun
da (a HaU of Records). Thus,
around the Memorial Court, with
the minor halls for drama and
music, and the main auditorium will
take place the activities of the Uni
versity which most call for self
expression. The stage, equipped for
large theatrical and operatic pro
ductions, together with the great
organ, will be a gathering place for
the music and art lovers of the
state.
In architecture, the combination
of red brick and buff trim, which
has already been expressed in the
buildings for Law and Commerce,
will be maintained, with an ever
increasing proportion of the buff
note, until, in the facade of the
Auditorium, the red of the brick
gives place to the lighter buff of
the columns and wall surfaces.
The architectural style is free,
but is influenced by the brick archi-!
teclure of Lombardy and the Greco
Byzantine notes of detail.
Georgian Note Adopted
The Georgian note, which has i
been adopted in the Women’s
Quadrangle and the Woman’s build
ing, will, no doubt, be carried
through the minor guadrangles and !
groups of the University buildings, |
where such a domestic scale as jp
called for in this style can be
adopted.
Naturally, the scale of the
Memorial Court and the great I
buildings flanking it must be of a
more monumental character, and
the Greek note introduced will, the i
University architect expects—give 1
sufficient unity to the entire com
position, which will be made up of
self-contained groups for the most
part, from which the new campus
running from the Memorial Gate
way on lltli avenue east to the,,
Auditorium (1,600 feet therefrom) j
will dominate.
The completion of the Memorial
Court is a challenge to the students
of Oregon, both old and new, and,
the embellishment of the Court,
likewise, challenges Oregon paint
ers, scuptors, craftsmen and archi
tects, say those interested in the
project.
SCRAP BOOK HAS MUCH
ON HISTORY OF SCHOOL
(Continued from page one)
come traditional as pace-makers for
those who come after them, can be
seen.
A sinister note, with a certain
bravado added by the men them
selves, enters the notebooks with
the war-time element. Almost every
man from the school who joined
the army is represented in one way
or another. A clipping records the
fact that Russel E. Collins received
a captaincy after serving as an
aviation instructor in 1916. Eyler
Brown, now architecture instruc
tor, is shown in front of a dug-out
in France.
The life, work and tragic death
of Roswell Dosch, young art in
structor and sculptor of promise,
finds its place in the pages.
The notebooks as a whole show
the growth of the school to its pres
ent position, always with the crea
tive and cooperative spirit, and
withal a brooding sense of beauty.
NEW YORK HIKERS STOP
AT UNIVERSITY FOR VISIT
Roberta Davis and Jean Zeller
mayer both of New York are week
end guests on the campus, having
stopped off last night on their hik
ing trip which they are taking -back
to their* homes. They hiked out
here, and came to .Eugene from
Portland on their return trip, yes
terday. They plan to stop at Yose
mite park during the greater part
of the summek Miss Davis and Miss

Morality Grown Insolent
A preacher was criticised by a hear-1
er by the saying: you can always
tell by his sermon the book he has
read last. A minister, who did not
find his faith confirmed, or his pre
judices tickled by a book he reads, I
is reading the wrong book. Perhaps
the hearer critic meant that the ser- i
mons were bookish • • such criticism
holds.
I recall a say no- o' ’' Af-wT liae-h,'
A man well known in the middle west \
thirty years ago a > i:.o-t s,;cfr-i
ful minister in Indianapolis. His
church was independent. The subject
for discussion, in a ministerial confer
ence was: “The Value of the Divin
ity School to the Preacher,” the in
tent being to advertise divinity
schools. Mr. McCullach said: “A
divinity school is an institution for
teaching young men how not to do it.1
I got my training for the ministry j
by twenty years of commercial trav- ;
eling out of Chicago.” This means ;
that preaching that is anything more
than twaddle, must be inwrought with j
life.
I got my subject out of a book, one |
of the last I have read, Havelock!
Ellis’ “The Dance of Life.” As all*
great books do, this book helped me
o’' C eovery and I got the urge
for this discourse out of it, but what
1 •.■ant to do is to hitch my star to
i wagon.
As near as I can I mean these
words to be the opening words of my I
discourse on Sunday morning at the
Unitarian church, where I take Mr. I
Eddy’s place for the day. If inter-1
ested or curious, come.

clared. The executive committee
will probably take this step.
“We shall also plan to continue

Aspirin Tablet Will Revive
Cut and Wilted Plants
Professors Tanner and Sweetser
Explain Chemical Action
Cut flowers may be prevented from
fading and wilted ones may be re
vived by giving them an aspirin tab
let, according to an Eastern pharma
cist. »
In one of his experiments drugged
blooms outlasted normal ones by three
days. In another case wilted flowers
jwere revived in two hours, looking as
fresh as they did when picked.
The experimenter’s explanation is
that the aspirin, placed in the water,
acts as an antiseptic, interfering with
the enzyme which normally causes
the clogging of the vessels of the
stem at its cut surface.
Prof. H. G. Tanner, of the chem
istry department, explains that drugs
which tend to make animals uncon
scious have the opposite effect on
plants and for this reason the results
of the experiment seem logical.
Professor A. B. Sweetser, of the
botany department, holds the same
view, but hopes further that the ex
perimenter might find some method
of preserving the natural color of i
pressed flowers either by aspirin or
by any other means.
Superintendent of grounds H. M.
Fisher is highly interested in the ex
periment and promises to find out
for himself if it will work, although
the idea seems practical to him.
