Mr. Whittlesey Tells How
to Raise Easy Union Money
The Alabama minstrels were
making their debut before a house
packed with students one night.
The end-men were growing restless,
as end-men always do. Long legged
“Carbon” Whittlesey on the ex
treme right could be seen fairly
itching to show off his little con
jurer ’s trick. And the markedly
obese gentleman of strangely ellip
tical proportions on the opposite
end was seen to mop his shining
ebony forehead with the back of
his white-kid-gloved hand, and
puff his cheeks out with exaltation
of discomfort while waiting for
the interlocutor to conclude the
tedious introduction (at least it
was tedious for those practiced
black men holding down the end
berths).
But the central figure of the
charcoal group seemed not so hur
ried in his elecutionarv dispensa
tions. He was doing his Mason
and Dixon best to maintain the
level of effulgent wit, which
seemed to be taking with the stu
dents. His garrulousness, his
(questioning uninterrupted except
by thej Occasional answer to an
enigma by a member of the merry
black-faced company, he delved
into the complications of histrionic
repartee and incited his audience
to laughter by the sweeping calis
thenics of his gesticulations, and
the curious inflection of his basso
profundo into a well-modulated
whispering query.
“Misto Whittlesey,” boomed
the sonorous voice of Interlocutor
Johnson, “spose you calc’late fer
this heah 'lustrous assemblance a

chester near Boseburg. A committee
of tbe faculty has been appointed to

tee being Dean John Bovard, L. H.

ART CLASSES TO MEET
IN STUDIO NEXT WEEK
The new studio in the architecture
building for use by the fine arts
classes is now ready to be painted.
The lights are being connected, and,
in the opinion of H. M. Fisher, sup
erintendent of the campus buildings
and grounds, the studio will be ready
for use by the middle of next week.
The life classes that are scheduled to
meet nights have been unable to meet
this term because of lack of room
and lighting facilities.
The flower beds of thq campus are
being cultivated by the campus gard
eners this week. This work, which is
usually done earlier in the month,
was late this year on account of the
rains, Mr. Fisher said.
Degree Cards
for Graduation
to Be Requested
Those to Finish in 1925
Should File Soon
i
All tlioso students who expect to
graduate next year are asked by
the registrar’s office to file an ap
plication for a degree card before
. leaving the University this term.
This is to enable the registrar to
make out summaries for them and
to send these to them during the
summer. Lately many juniors have
been asking for summaries at the
office. This means a duplication
of the work done during the sum
mer and causes an unnecessary
amount of work. However, those
who want summaries may get them.

STUDENT LIFE IS TOPIC
AT ^WOMEN’S LEAGUE
MEETING AT TUCSON
The University, its student af
fairs, its location and development,
and the campus woman’s relation
to student activities as a whole,
were the general topics of discus
sion at the convention of Associ
ated Women Students at Tucson,
Arizona, last week.
“In student activity and inter
est, we are far advanced,” said
Georgia Benson, delegato from the
University of Oregon, who returned
Tuesday. “Our University is
ideally situated. Only in our
academic honor system are wo be
hind most of the other colleges.”
The growing honor system af
forded ono of the most interesting
discussions and, socially, Oregon
compares with most of tho univer
sities and colleges of the West,
but, academically, we fall short.”
Through the Women’s forum,
I women of the University of Oregon
arc) able to discuss nd establish
standards, although it is not a
legislative body, and much the
same thing is being done by other
universities and colleges through
various councils and women’s or
ganizations, Miss Benso.ii declared.
The delegato from the Univer
sity of California discussed the
honor system at California and de
clared that it worked beautifully.
They have a student affairs com- j
mittee and the importance of re- ■
porting cheating is emphasized.
They have found that the competi
tion of organizations for high
grades does not lead to cribbing.
Each student is considered honest,
they are not guilty until they con
fess, neither are they required to
sign cards.
Freshmen, upon entering, are
given a letter emphasizing the im
portance of the honor system and
the uprightness of reporting cases.
Systems of tapping by the students
when cheating in the room is dis
covered aro used and in the law
school, “because they do so much
talking anyway,” they sometimes
rise and givo discourses on the
honor system. However, accusor
and accused are never required to
appear together before the dean,
who handles all these affairs.
One morning was turned over to
a session conjoint with fcho deans
of women, who held a conference at
Tucson at the time of tho Women’s
league conference. Here coopera

LAST SWIMMING
' CONTEST FRIDAY
Oregon and Aggie Aquatic
Teams to Meet in Final
Fray in Corvallis Tank
SPRINTERS SHOW SPEED
Webfooters Are in Condition
After Stiff Practices;
Plungers Are Improving
Oregon’s swimming team will
journey to Corvallis to meet O. A.
C- s aquatic stars Friday evening
m the final contest of the season.
The Webfooters hold a victory over
the Beavors in a meet held earlier
in tho season. After several weeks
of strenuous workouts, the local
mermen are in shape to meet the
Aggies, who have also been putting
in hard practice in hopes of cap.
turing the big end of tho score.
The Oregon team has engaged in
five meets so far this season, swim
ming twice against tho freshmen
and the' Multnomah club of Port
land, and once with the Aggies
Entries Not Decided
A team was also entered in the
state meet and tho locals managed
to take third place. In the meets
with the frosh the varsity carried
off a victory and the other match
ended in a tie. These meets were
held early in the season.
Multnomah managed to hand the
varsity swimmers two set backs. In
the meet held at Eugeno, the state
record in the 100-yard dash was
tied by Peterson of Multnomah.
Coach Fahl has not definitely de
cided who he will enter in the dif
ferent events, but will probably
put Horsfall and Palmek in Ithe
100-yard dash. Palmer managed to
win by a narrow margin over Car
penter of O. A. C. in the last meet
and is out to repeat.
Plungers Doing Better
Horsfall will not be entered in
the relay, but will swim the 100
instead. Yoran and Gardner will
again swim the backstroke. Gard
ner managed to nose out Yoran for
first place in the O. A. C. meet,
while the Aggio entry came in
third. Sinclair was defeated by
Van Dyke in the breaststroke, but
ns ho has been making better time
in his workouts, should run his op
ponent a close race to win.
In the plunge, Wiswall is show
ing his best form of the season. He
won second place by plunging 56
feet against the Aggies. In his
workouts this week he has been go
ing the length of the tank, or 60
feet. Smith and Turner of O. A. C.
are also plunging near this mark.
Samuels has also improved since
his last showing
Divena Handicapped
Horsfall and McCabe will take
care of the diving events. Horsfall
gave Burroughs of O. A. C. close
competition on the low board, but
the local divers will be somewhat
handicapped by the 10-foot board
in the Beaver tank. Oregon’s only
entries in the 220-yard free style
are Horsfall and Herron. Hors
fall managed to win over his Cor
vallis opponent by 60 feet. Palmer,
McCabe and Stoddard will enter
the 50-yard dash.
The relay will be composed of
Herron, Stoddard, McCabe and
Palmer. Stoddard is a new man at
the aquatic sport, but made a good
showing on the relay team in the
recent meet, and will have a chance
to go in the sprints. The team
will leave for Corvallis Friday
noon.
