VOLUME XXVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY ,14, 1925 NUMBER 56 oregano DRIVE TO OPEN TODflV Year-b o o k Subscriptions To Be Taken at Houses And at Booth in Library MANY PICTURES USED Price of 1925 Annual $4.50; $2.00 to Be Paid Now and Remainder on Delivery Today is the main day during which students can subscribe for “the 1925 Oregana. This is the word ■given out by the manager’s office. The campaign will continue until 11:30 a. m. Thursday but it is urged that those who can, should sign up itoday. The price of the Oregana is set tentatively at $4.50, of which $2.00 must be paid at the time of sub scribing. To facilitate payment the business manager, Gibson Wright, is allowing students to date their checks ahead to February 1. The remainder of the purchase price is to be paid at the time of the de livery of the book sometime in May. Plans for the drive have been made by Kenneth Stephenson, cir culation manager, and the publicity has been handled by Virgil Wylie, who has made all the posters ad vertising the campaign. Places for Subscribing Subscriptions will be taken through house representatives and at the Oregana booth at the library. •One representative has been ap pointed in each house by the circu lation manager. The booth will be open from 8:30 till 3:30 today and from 8:30 to 11:30 Thursday. All students are urged to subscribe early because no extra copies will be printed and only those making the initial payment will be able to get books. Last year the same warning was .given out and over a hundred stu dents failed to heed it and were, as a result, unable to be supplied with -copies when they tried in the spring, said Gibson Wright, who was in charge of circulation last year. The library this year was forced to ad vertise for copies of last year’s Oregana in order to complete its files since it had neglected to sub scribe. Considerable trouble was experienced in obtaining copies. If the number of students sub scribing is not sufficient to meet the needs of the year book, the price will have to be raised. It is for that reason that so much stress is being placed on students subscrib ing early, he continued. Pictures Are Numerous The Oregana this year is giving special emphasis to, pictures and more pictures are being used than ever before.^ All the main Univer sity events, such as Homecoming, Junior Week-end, the big class dances, and others will be represent ed. The idea is to make the Ore gana more of a memory book of the college year. Colored section heads will be used at the beginning of each depart ment and the editor of the year book, Augusta DeWitt, hopes to (Continued on page four) [Mary Spiller Hall Has Special Diet Table For Girls A special diet table for over weight girls, who are residents of the University dormitories and who desire to reduce, has been ar ranged at the Mary Spiller din ing room. At present, there arei five girls taking advantage of this chance to grow thin, while one girl who can not eat starchy foods, takes her meals at the same table. The meals, planned by Mrs. E. P. Davis, dietician for the halls, consists mainly of vegetables, fruit salads, and gelatine. While no limit is placed . upon the amount of food which the girls may eat, the kinds are limited. Starchy fooils are completely eliminated, and drinking wateT at meal time is also taboo. Three regular meals are served dfeiily to those on the diet. The diet table, which is similar to one conducted several years ago, was arranged at the request of Dr. Bertha Stuart, of the wo men’s physical education depart ment. ASSEMBLY SPEAKER TO ADDRESS CLASSES Upton Close will Deliver Lecture at Y. M. Hut Students will have the opportun ity of hearing three lectures on various phases of oriental art, poli tics and commerce, tomorrow, when Upton Close (Josef Wj&shington Hall) will speak at the assembly and before two groups.

This lecture is for business ad ministration students, and will be on the topic, “The Orient in Ameri ca’s Life and Commerce.” Anyone interested may attend the lecture other than that given at assembly. Mr. Hall spoke here last year and the news of his return has occa sioned much favorable comment. He spent many years in the Orient and that he knows his subject is at tested to by the fact that his books are known among the best on ori ental conditions, history and art. DEAN ALLEN WILL LEAVE FOR NORTH BE*TD TODAY Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, is leaving today with Mrs. Allen for North Bend, where he will confer with Edgar Mc Daniel, president of the Oregon Newspaper Conference, |upon pro gram plans for the annual meeting of the conference which is to be held on the campus, March 13 and 14. MORONI OLSEN PLAYERS CHARM IN PHILIP BARRY’S ‘YOU AND P Philip Barry’s prize Harvard play “You and I’’ thoroughly charmed the hundreds of Univer sity and townspeople who attended the performance last evening at the Heilig theatre. The Moroni Olsen players gave a performance which is rarely seen in Eugene. This little play is full of the most delightful comedy of the modern slangy sort throughout the first act but the thread of the story rap idly changes to a real heart strug gle. It is the seldom used, though none the less effective, story of the suppressed desire of an older man to forsake his stodgy business ca reer to follow his love for painting when by so doing he will sentence his son, who wishes to be an archi tect, to the same sort of a career which he is following. Of course he decides in favor of his son ere the curtain is rung down. Janet Young’s work is not un known to the University. As the wife of Maitland White, the busi ness man who wants to paint, she again displayed her particular charm, beauty of voice and char acterisation. Mr. Olsen, as the business man, and Byron Foulger, as the successful novelist, were especially well done, Mr. Olsen with his warmth of feeling carrying his audience with him through the whole part. The two juveniles, Dorothy Adams and Sumner Chase Cobb handled their parts as repre 1 sentatives of the modern young ! people of today, with ease and grace. Theirs was a sympathetic | treatment. It is too bad that the Moroni Ol sen Players haven’t something else to offer Eugene, for another play ; of the standard of “You and I” | would be really appreciated. 'OLD OREGON' HRS MEDICAL ISSOE Pictures of Clinic Work Laboratory Activities Are January Features OTHER SCENES INCLUDED Recent Research Projects And Other Special News Recounted in Articles The distinctive feature of the January medical school number of Old Oregon, will be the pictures, said Miss Jeannette Calkins, edi tor of the alumni magazine.

VARSITY TENNIS MEN HAVE DAILY PRACTICE The varsity tennis aspirants are turning out regularly for practice now. They are using the men’s old gymnasium and, when the weather permits, the cement courts near Hayward field. Coach Fahl has them learning the fundamentals, such as how to hold the racket properly to keep the eye on the ball, 'and how to hit the ball right. The finer points wrill be taught later in the season. The tennis tournament, which was held early last fall brought out considerable new material. Among these were, T. G. Hubbard, Bill Adams, “Swede” Westergren, Roy Okerberg and George Meade, run j nor-up, and Reginald Hcger, winner. Heger, who is an exceptionally good player, Was taken sick shortly af ter the tournament, but is now re cuperating fast and is expected to be able to play by next term. Last years men who are out again this year are Harry Meyer and Bill lidcBride, both very good men. Meyer will captain the team this year. Meets have been scheduled with | the U. of W. at Seattle, and O. A. C. | at Corvallis. Also meets may be arranged with the Multnomah Club I and the Irvington Club at Portland. I The team will also enter the Paci fic Coast conference to be held at i Corvallis, May 30 and 31. President Coolidge Receives Former University Student ‘"Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge, meet Mr. Hlarold Gourley, of Eugene, Oregon.” With these words Senator Charles L. McNary, sena tor from Oregon, introduced a former student in pre-medics at the University to the chief execu tive of the United States. The president and his wife were very cordial, Gourley writes, and he chatted a few minutes with Calvin Coolidge Jr., who was home from college for the holi days. The president’s son is a typical American youth, and very likeable, the former Oregon stu dent said. Gourley went to Washington at the start of the last legislative session as a secretary to Senator McNary. Onei of his duties is to attend all sessions of the sen ate and keep a report of the pro ceedings. The work is very inter esting, he says, and it gives one a new insight into the workings of the government. BASKET BALL TEAMS SOON TO BE CHOSEN Work in Practices Good; Old Players Back Successful aspirants to class teams will be chosen in the next few basketball practices, according to Miss Shelly, basketball instruc tor in the physical education de partment. Practices this season have been characterized by an open, fast type of game. There has been uniformly good passing and a minimum of technical fouling. Practice in shoot ing baskets is being emphasized this week for all the teams. An attempt to work out signals has just begun. The position of guard on the senior team has aroused the keenest competition of the season. A large percentage of experienced players have turned out and spectacular playing is predicted for the senior team. Many of the girls have play ed together for a number of years and this shows in the quality of their team work. The system of checking practice, used for the first time this year, has proven very popular with both the girls and the officials in charge of the sport. Each girl has been required to check in and out of every practice attended. In this way an accurate record is kept of those who practise regularly. ALEXANDER WILLIAMS JR. WILL BE CAMPUS VISITOR Alexander Williams Jr., secretary of the committee on prize Essays of the American Chemical Society, of New York City will be on the campus the first weejfc of Febru ary, according to word received by O.

Freshman of Old Draws Out Array Of Difficult Books If a list of eighty books which you have drawn out of the li brary during the past year could be compiled, what would it in clude? Just such a list is hid den away in the file of a library report for the year 1912. This list had been appended to the year’s report, the librarian said, because the student who had drawn the books was a fresh man, Max Somers by name. The titles of the books wore enough to stagger the most hard ened modern senior. And of the authors only a few are men tioned: Euchen, Randolph, Spil ler, Hart, Bertrand, Russell, G. B. Shnw, Marx, G. K. Chester ton, Spencer, Taine, Schopen hauer, Maeterlinck, H. G. Wells. Five of tho books on the list were philosophical and religious works; eight were on journalistic and biographical subjects; twen ty-five dealt broadly with the field of literature; and forty-sev en were of the nature of trea tises on various jlhases of tho social sciences. WEARING OF CORSAGES NOT REQUIRED AT BALL Petroffs’ Russian Baliet to Present Feature Tickets for the Senior Ball, to be icUl Saturday evening, January 17, will continue on sale the remainder jf the week at both the Co op and library. All who desire to attend the ball are urged by the committee in charge to obtain their tickets as soon as possible. Engraved invita tions to the ball will bo given when tickets are bought. Corsages Unnecessary While the dance is a formal af fair in every respect, it was decided by the committee to adhere to the ruling previously made by the Pan Hennanic council, to omit the wear ing of corsages by the girls. How ever, in every other manner, “La Hallo Russo’’ will be in accord with all the luxurious formality of old Russia. Those not wishing to attend the dance will not be deprived of view ing its unprecedented surprises. Spectators Will be admitted to the balcony on a 25 cent charge. Unlike previous dances, the view will not be obscured by a false ceiling or other obstructions. The scene will be brilliantly lighted, thus display ing the settings and decorations to best advantage. “To be able to see the feature alone,” states Junior Soton, “will be worth more than 25 cents.” Feature is Ballet Tho feature, Victor Petroff, for merly of the Imperial Opera of Rus sia, and his ballet, together with their own special music, are being brought from Portland. Petroff has achieved great fame as a ballet master, said Ed Bohlman, and it will be an unusual opportunity to see his program of Russian dances, including the Pavlowa Gavotte.
