The custom of students gathering at the tea hour around the inviting fireplace of the dean of women, has proved very popular among the Univer sity women all year, judging from the large group who have attended these informal gather ings. Each day during the spring from 4 until 6 o’clock, baseball games, hockey team practices, and horseback riding occupy the time ordinarily devoted by* the women to the tea hour; VIRGINIA BACON, '84, TO REPRESENT OREGON Alumna to Attend A.

Take one from the baskets of the members of Phi Theta Kappa, who will estab lish their market around Commerce hall today. The /members of the honorary commerce society will sup ply the salesmanship—and the stu dents will pass out the necessary five cents. The reason for the pleasant hold up is explained by Mary Hathaway, president of Phi Theta Kappa. Each year a $50 scholarship is given to some upperclass woman in the school of business administration and the doughnut sale is the means of secur ing the necessary sum. Aodpt the motto, .“Come prepared” and you will get satisfaction. PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENT Sigma Beta Phi announces the pledging of Laura Prescott of Ash land, Oregon. Mary Raker Reveals Bird Habits to Samara Members Students are not the only ones who migrate to and from this cam pus. There are a large number of birds, which travel from one^part of the country to another in search of congenial surroundings, and stop for a while on the campus and in the vicinity, to size up the situation and move on if they are not satisfied. Some remain for the summer, others are winter visitors, and still others elect to make it their permanent place of abode. It is not everyone who meets these feathered visitors and becomes ac quainted with the residents of the air. They do not hold open house at the beginning of the year in order to meet their friends. Yet they can always be found by true friends who are willing to search them out. And they have one such friend on the campus. One who is willing to visit them in their own homes and learn their habits and ways of liv ing. One who has a friendship with the birds and is willing to introduce the campus to her friends. Last night she did so in a speech before Samara and the botany classes in room 103 Deady hall. This is Mary Raker, senior in the University and a student of the bird life of the West, who with her father, has spent much time studying birds and their habits. The lecture last night was illustrated with many col ored slides showing birds of all kinds and descriptions in their native sur roundings. The slides were made by Robert Horsefall, of Portland, who visited many secluded spots and found the birds in their private hauhts in making the pictures. Stories of bird life and bird strife (Continned on page four.)

NINE PREPARES FOR TILT WITH ALBANY The University high school base ball nine is working out every night on its diamond near the Music building in spite of the cold and rainy weather. The team has already played two practice games, one of which it won and the other lost, and now the men are work ing hard to strengthen the weak spots. Burton, as pitcher, has been going good, fanning out about ten men in the game with Cottage Grove last week, and allowing them only one run. His backing was not exception ally good, however, and the coach is working on the rest of the in field and the outfielders (to gjfet them ready for the first big game with Albany high, April 25.

Total of 1924 Fees Paid Says Business Office Banks Return Eleven N. S. F. Checks When the business office closed Saturday noon, 1901 students had paid their fees. Since then, 23 more have paid. These students have had to pay the $3 fee for paying after the allotted time. The business office has re ceived a total of 11 N. S. F. checks. Six came back to the office last Saturday and five since then. All those who have had their checks returned for not sufficient funds will have to pay the late filing fee of $3 also. The business office does not know the exact number who have failed to pay their fees, but it is supposed that the number is fair ly large. No effort will be made to see that all pay their fees since there is no accurate means of finding those who are in school and those who are not. The business office assumes that those who do not pay their fees are no longer in school. Only those who have paid fees will re ceive credit for their courses.

Motoring with him from Portland will be President K. F. Scholz, of Reed college.

Leaders Axe Named Dr. Meiklejohn is ranked with the foremost authorities and stu dents of modern tendencies in edu cation in the country, among whom are Frank Aydelotte, president of Swarthmore college, and President Scholz of Reed. These men, through extensive research in all branches and phases of progressive educa tion, >are leaders in that move ment in education often referred to on the campus as “Oxforditis.” During his office as president of Amherst college from 1922 to 1923, Dr. Meiklejohn was the leader of a re-organization of the Univer sity’s teaching methods, and intro duced progressive reforms in the | general administration of the col , lege. He did develop a rare eager ness and interest in learning in the I students. When Dr. Meiklejohn re signed, many of the professors turned in their resignations also, and part of the graduate students refused to accept their degrees, the feeling within the college being so strong in favor of the presi dent ’s standpoint. Various Positions Held ! Throughout his entire life, Alex ander Meiklejohn has been promi nent in educational circles. Born in England, February 3, 1872, ho moved to America at the age of 8 years, entered school and -was grad uated from Brown university in 1893, with a degree of B.A. Tak ing two more years of graduate work, he obtained his M.A. from the same university in 1895. From there, he entered Cornell and was given his Ph.D. degree in 1897. Returning to Brown university, Dr. Meiklejohn held different pro fessorships in the institution, being head of the department of phil osophy from 1901-1912, when he was made president. He is a mem ber of the American Philosophical society, American Psychological association, Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi and Theta Delta Chi. Dr. Scholz Rhoden Man President Scholz, author and professor of history, was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford in 1904-7, a mem ber of the first goup under Rhodes’ will, and a student at the Univer sity of Berlin.

EASTERN OREGONIANS BUCK GIFT CAMPAIGN Dean Henry Sheldon Finds Alumni Enthusiastic “Eastern Oregon people are show ing good re-action to the Gift Campaign, under the leadership of very enterprising alumni,” said Dean Henry D. Sheldon, upon being interviewed yesterday. “The 'news papers are willing to give the cam paign publicity and I believe the prospects of putting the drive across are quite good.” Dean Sheldon Jeft Eugene on April 6 for Eastern Oregon, where he investigated the success of the campaign in that region. In the cities where he visited, there have been committees of workers formed, each one headed by an alumnus of Oregon. These men are: Arle Hampton, La Grande; Henry Mc Kinney, Baker City; Harold Black aby, Ontario; and Robert Kellogg, Enterprise. Dinners were given at each of tho towns, the heads of the com mittees explaining the campaign, while Deam Sheldon placed before the diners the groat need of build ings on the campus. “I think it is particularly splen did that, although a few of the Eastern Oregon cities have been hard hit by the agricultural depres sion, the alums are determined to meet their full quota,” said Dean Sheldon. “It. is planned by the heads that every town and city im Oregon will have a dinner on the opening night of tho drive, to fur ther it in every way possible. These affairs have already been arranged for.” The drive, which will extend from May 9 to tho 29th, estimates the quotas on the basis of 3,800 alumni, at, a donation of $260 each. Dean Sheldon says the people are gener ally enthusiastic, and are good material for the industrious, influ ential workers, who, he says, have organized the campaign so thor oughly. JUDGE HENDERSON TO BE OREGON REPRESENTATIVE Judge Charles E. Henderson, who was graduated from the University in 189.3, will be Oregon’s represent ative at the semi-centennial of the founding of Purdue university, LaPayette, Indiana. This celebra tion is to take place May 1, 2, 3. Judge Henderson will present the felicitations of the University of Oregon to Purdue on that occasion. DISTANCE MEN CET INTO SHAPE Inclement Weather Fails to Stop Track Athletes From Spring Training TEAMS SHOW UP WELL Sprinters and Mile Runners Endeavor to Develop Stamina and Distance In spite of the cold weather, the track athletes are not missing prac tice these winter days, for with the relays coming Mhy 3, and » dual moot with Washington in less than a month, much conditioning will bo necessary to get the men into shape. Last night, several of the dis tance men who have been on the shelf the last fow days with vari ous ailments were out performing. Bill has a crew of men working in these distance races, who, if they escape the ravages of hard luck, should develop into point winners for the school. Totz, McCool and Keating make a fighting trio that, once they get into shape, should give other conference distance runners a |real racp. 1 There are others who have not been out for the varsity squad before this year who are also showing promise. Van Guilder and Stephenson should give the others competition for a place on the team if they keep improv ing as they are doing. Football Men Tracking Several men from the (football squad have reported for track since the close of spring practice. Ken Bailey, Jens Terjesen and Ed Kel ley are playing around with the weights. Terjesen was on the frosh squad of 1922 as a discus heaver. Vic Risley had his outfit of quarter-milors out last night giving them the air. This is one of the hardest races listed in present _day track meets and requires hard con sistant training. Last night thia crew not only breezed a quarter at good speed; but did their stuff several times around the track with tho mile squad. This is to develop stamina. Complete Schedule Given The next practice they will probably work with the sprinters, in addition to doing their own dis tance. A quarter-miler needs the speed of a sprinter and endur ance of a distance man. Couple this witli the fighting heart and the norve of a big game hunter, and the ideal is reached. This spring’s program for the varsity as listed is: April 19—Local competition. April 26—Interclass moot. May 3—University of Washing ton relays at Seattle. May 10—University of Washing ton, dual meet, Eugene. May 17—Dual meet with O. A. C. at Corvallis. May 24—Open. May 30-31 — Olympic tryouts and conference meet, Eugene. LIBRARY BUYS PERIODICALS FOR HISTORY DEPARTMENT A new sot of periodicals, “Le Moyeu Ago,” has recently been purchased by the library. The set contains 3.3 volumes and deals ex tensively with the history and ! language of the middle ages. The | periodicals were obtained primarily for the history department. State Development Discussed by Dodson, Portland Manager By Frances Sanford To get the business men of Ore gon to cooperate in helping mar ket the agricultural products of the state, to encourage greater land development, anil to sell Oregon to ourselves and subsequently to the outsiders—these are the most im portant ways in which W. B. D. Dodson, manager of the Portland chamber of commerce, who is at tending the short course for com mercial secretaries being held on the campus this week, believes greater Oregon development can be most effectively accomplished. “The part of the state around Portland has raised $300,000 to spend on this development pro gram over a period of two years,” he said yesterday. Sitting up very straight, and discussing these prob lems of state development with the most serious of expressions in bis brown eyes, Dr. Dodson radiated sincerity and strength of convic tion with every word that he ut tered. Half of this amount sot aside will be spent each year, according to the speaker. The first fiscal year expires on the coming July 1. The program is divided into three parts: the marketing of agricul tural or soil products, the land set tlement work, and the publicity for recreational and tourist travel about $35,000 is devoted to market (Continued on page four.)
