hVARD FAIRBANKS
[
Fortner Oregon Sculptor
Writes From Yale
TWO REGIONS COMPARED
Tribute is Paid to West
And Opportunities
That jthfc/people of the are
expecting rjnich In the production
of art f rofnj the j ingles of the west,
is the medsfire of Avard Fairbanks,
Oregon sciilp ;or, who. is now at the
Yale school' < # fine arts, to the stu
dents (if tjho UilivferMty of Oregon.
“The people of the east have a
deep interest in the Pacific coast,”
he said in a . message, recently re
ceived, by the fine arts department
of "the university.
Mr. Fairbanks, who was instruc
tor in seplptnre at Oregon last
year, and who has |d'one jieveral
pieces that have w-on national rec
ognition, stated that during bis
r";esent eastern trip the''has niet
several famous artists and that he
is planning articles for publication |
dealing with these artists.
Two Sections Compared
The east has the wealth and the
art patrons, but behind it alt there'
seems to be a lack of that genuine
western feeling that wo all are
privileged to partake of. Money
can never buy that spirit of the
west,” said Mr Fairbanks in com
paring the two sections of the
country. He senses an opportunity
for the artists of the western part
of the United States to create a
great and lasting art now that the
attention and the sympathies of
the country as a whole are centered
on the west.
Superior intellectual and spirit
ual products, as well as superior
physical products, should bfc tho
gift of the wost to the world, in the
opinion of Mr, Fairbanks. It is in
the power of this section of the
country to produce a genius and an
art form that would bo an active
and potent influence fcjr improve
ment throughout the country. .
Credit Given West
“Let us fulfill the expectations
of tho west,” he! said, “and not
only let the west give to the world
.u^erior products for physical sus
tenance, but let us give an intel
lectual product that will mean a
spiritual development throughout
the whole land.”
Credit is given by Mr. Fairbanks
to the people of the west for the
opportunities they have granted
him for contact with them and for
the development this contact has
entailed. “One of tho things that
has made life more significant has
boon to mingle with you and see
the progress in your work,” he salil.
KILPATRICK TO STUDY
CAUSES OF DISASTERS
Karl Kilpatrick, dean' of tire ex
tension division, was recently ap
pointed :i mombei- of the committee
: i^f , American experts to make a
fltwly of the causes of calamities
Hind of measures to bo taken for
tlmir prevention.
Dean Kilpatrick suj^gosts tin a
letter to the Ceogruphic Society of
Geneva, that n ■study Should be
tna'dje ef the “psychology of disas
ters,” , , ‘ •
V'There are many purely human
and mental factors which otUh r
largely into the causation of certain
types of disasters, and especially
into the possibility of their recur
rence,” writes Dean Kilpatrick.
“Also there is a most fascinating
Study awaiting some competent and
privileged1"Individual who shall have
the opportunity to study and record
fk-* phenomena of Individual^ and
gyvKHp reaction to different types
Qf jutastropihe.”
This movement for the study of
disasters is worldwide, and each
country is to mnbe a national map
of calamities, and these will be com
bined into a world atlas of catastro
phes.

BASKETBALL LINEUP
REVIEWED BY COACH
Coming Game Thought to
Be Close One
“The clash with the Willamette
five Saturday night will be one of
the hardest ond closest games! of
the whole season,” said Billy Rein
hart, Oregon basketball coacli. “'j'he
Bearcats always wore good basket
ball playdrs, and : they thoroughly
know the game.”
Tho fracas, which will take place
in the Armory, will be the opening
battle of the 1925 basketball sea
son for the varsity. Reinhartj is
not Certain just what lineup he trill
use, except that the two vetersins,
Hobson and Gowans will start j at
forward. These two men will have
a double job on their hands, for ^ibt
only are they' expected to convert
at regular intervals, but their stead
iness will have to offset any at
tacks of nervousness that may be
experienced by the new men to the
squad who are under fire for the
first time.
The squad is composed of men,
however, who have played quite j a
bit of basketball, and Billy is con
fident that they will play like vete
rans. Drill on offense and defense,
with a view to perfecting the five
man play that was so successful last
year, has been going on all week,
and the team is rapidly rounding
into shape.
To supplant Hobson and Gowans
at forward when needed, Reinhart
will have Childs, Llewellyn, and
Stoddard. At center, either Jost or
Okerberger will start, with a pos
sibility of Carter getting into the
game as well. Westergren has been
going ood at guard, and will prob
ably start, with Gunther or Rein
hart as a running mate. Gillen
waters, who has 'been. Hast, may be
in shape, and Hughes will be avail
able if needed.
The entire University is expected
to turn out for the game, which has
been set for 7:30 sharp. A regular
rooting section will be formed, and
tho stage has been alloted to the
sports writers.
All big games will be held in the
Armory this year, as usual. Eu
gene is fortunate, athletically
speaking, for all the first big
glumes, the ones that really count
the most, take place at home. The
ISHORTSTORY CONTEST
WILL END FEBRUARY t
Students wishing to coinpete in
the Edison Marshall short story
contest should turn their manu
scripts in to W. E. G. Thaeher, in
structor of short story, between

Keltner. No previous prize win
ners can compete, but the contest

rolled undergraduate students^

This contest is held each year
by Edison Marshall, short story
writer and a graduate of the uni
versity, for students in the uniJ
versity, to further an interest iri'
| short story writing.
schedule is the best that Oregon has
had for some time, the coach says,
and one of the most interesting sea
sons, from the spectators point of
view, is in prospect.
