Gale Seaman Gives Plans
For California Meet
A convention of college imen from
nine Western states, British Colum
bia, Mexico and the Hawaiian is
lands, will be held at Asilomar,
California, under the auspices of
the student department of the Y.
M. C. A., December 27 to Januarv
3. Gale Seaman, “Y” secretary of
the Pacific coast, was on the cam
pus yesterday and presented the
data on the meeting to the cabinet
of the campus association and other
men interested in religious work.
A quota has been worked out for
each college and all have accepted
theft- allotments, the “Y” organi
zations on each campus being as
signed to see to it that their quo
tas of delegates are sent to the af
fair. Oregon was assigned 15 dele
gates and at least that imany men
will be sent to the convention.
Seaman has just finished a tour
through the colleges of Washington
and Oregon and all the schools he
has visited are strongly interested
in the meeting, he said. The schools
are trying to arrange for their dele
gates to travel by automobile to
the Southern city and it is thought
Oregon’s representatives will go
the same way. In order to reach
Asilomar, on Monterey bay, in time
for the opening exercises, Decem
ber 27, it will be necessary for the
delegates to leave on Christmas day
or the day after.
According to a folder, advertis
ing the convention, Asilomar is
widely used as a meeting placq in
California. Many sports uncom
mon to Washington or Oregon in
winter are promised the students
who attend the gathering, such as
swimming and surf bathing.
Vital subects to students inter
ested in religious work will be dis
cussed during the week of the con
vention. Many good speakers have
also been listed to speak on these
subjects, according to the descrip
tive pamphlet. Some of the topics
to be taken up are: “The West
Coast Interracial Problem,’’ “Chris
tianity and Vital American Social
Problems,” “Present Needs for
Men in Full Time Christian Ser
vice,” “Education and Training for
Christian Service,” and “Campus
Conditions Affecting Full Time
Christian Service Conditions.”
Such well known speakers as the
following imen have been secured:
Francis J. McConnell, James A.
Francis, Harrison S. Elliot, G.
Sherwood Eddy, and Fnancis P.
Miller.
This will be the first time that
delegates from all of the Western
states and British Columbia, Mexi
co and Hawaii have met together
under the auspices of the Y. M. C.
A. and the convention is arousing
a lively interest in association cir
cles.
A fee of six dollars will be
charged all delegates but it is pro
posed by the California associations
to entertain the Northern men with
out charge.
WRESTLING PROSPECTS
THOUGHT FAVORABLE
From the present turnout for
wrestling, indications point that
places on the varsity will be closely
contested. Coach Widmer has a
large number of experienced men
who are working out daily prepar
ing for the hard season which will
open‘after the Christmas holidays.
In the 125-pound division Ford,
a letterman of last year is out and
will try to hold down the job again
this season but will find tough go
ing in 'Whitcomb, also a letterman,
who will attempt to drop from his
regular 135-pound class to the low
er division. In the 135-pound class
Wingard of last year’s frosh team
is making a strong bid for the job.
It is probable that Davis, who
wrestled for the frosh several years
ago, will be able to get down to
135 pounds. This will be a real
battle to see who will hold down
the berth.
In the 145-pound class Laurs and
Christenson of last year’s frosh
team and Bobertson, a letterman,
will fight it out for the position.
These men are all experienced and
fast.
In the middle weight and light
heavy classes, Coach Widmer has
several men out. Wells, who made
his letter last year, is turning out
and will" offer any opponent real
competition.
The prospects for a strong frosh
wrestling team are very bright, de
clared the coach. Several men
with high school experience are
turning out regularly for the first
year team. These men have been
showing considerable class and a
formidable team should be devel
oped for the squad. Matches with
various high schools and prep
schools of the state will be arranged
and it is probable that a match
will be scheduled with the O. A. C.
rooks.
PROBLEMS CONFRONT
EDUCATIONAL LEADERS
“Education now is an economic
problem, and educational leaders
have to be students of economics
and political science, as well as
students of education,” said Pi.
Homer P. Rainey at the Phi Delta
Kappa dinner Wednesday evening,
at the College Side Inn.
“There are various problems con
fronting the educational leaders at
the present. First, there is the
question of getting enough money
to finance the program to which we
are committed,” he continued.
“Then comes the old problem of the
tax system, which fails to provide
enough funds.”
The program for the year was
outlined and an announcement was
made to the effect that a banquet
of all Phi Delta Kappa members
in the state would be held in Port
land during the Oregon State
Teachers’ association.
Charles E. Franseea, of the Ore
gon Normal school; H. H. Dirkson,
of Monroe; and A. C. Springer,
principal ^f the school at Marcola
were the thfee out-of-town members
who attended the dinner.
EIGHT WOMEN CHOSEN
FOR VARSITY DEBATE
After three days of tryouts eight
women were selected Wednesday
night as a squad from which the
final women’s varsity debating
team will be picked. Those chosen
were: Flora Campbell, Mildred
Bateman, Margaret Woodson, Loret
ta Mason, Dorothy Newman, Helen
Crosby, Marguerite Clark, and Cecil
May McKercher.
The women will work on the ques
tion in a group as the men have
been doing and the final team will
be chosen as the work progresses.
The first debate is to be held with
O. A. C. and Willamette university
and will be on the question: Re-,
solved that the immigration act of
1924 be so amended as to admit
Japanese immigrants to the United
States on the same basis ,as that
of European immigrants.
The second debate will be with
the University of Washington and
possibly will be made triangular
with the University of California
entering. The dates have not been
set for either of these debates.

ONE COLLEGE FORBIDS
STUDENT MARRIAGES
If students imarry at Baylor col
lege, the couple are forced by the
faculty decree to spend a year’s
honeymoon outside of the college.
At Wellesley they manage these
things differently. The college
gives a course'in love and marriage.
The lovelorn and heart-broken stu
dent at Wellesley receives first
aid right on the campus.
The dean of the school of arts
and sciences at the University of
Texas is of the opinion that the de
cree forbidding marriage between
students while they are still under
graduates is “illegal.”—New Stu

ANNUAL CONVENTION LI OBAN’S
COLLEGE STOKERS
AND HASHERS
CONVENE AT OBAKS
Obak’s will be the scene of a busy
session the coming week, when the
Annual Convention of the Associ
ated Intercollegiate Stokers and
Hashers of the Pacific Coast con
vene for their fifth conclave. Last
year this mighty organization held
its yearly meeting at the University
of California, but this season the
honor falls on Obak’s, and already
delegates from all of the coast col
leges are arriving for the big week.
Several important issues will be
voted upon this year, perhaps the
most important being the contro
versy of hours of stokers in Soror
ities. These men are of the general
opinion that an early fire in both
unhealthful and uneconomic. “Why
should we be called from our beds
on early wintry mornings,” is the
query of one of the exponents of
late fires. “If, by so doing, we rob
the sorority woman from a tingle of
frosty air which is both benefieial
and beautifying.
The convention headquarters aro
in Obak’s Auditorium, aud daily
sessions will be hold from 9 a. m.
to 12 p. m. These meetings are
semi-public and afford an excellent
opportunity to the average student
to see a group of talented young
men whose sole aim is to make bet
ter living conditions for the in
mates of our modern universitaea.
Obak’s will have special report*
of the game today. Spend the
afternoon following the team is
Portland.
