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

[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.

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

Daniel, president of the Oregon

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.

VARSITY TENNIS MEN

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.

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.

of the committee on prize Essays
of the American Chemical Society,

! worthwhile prizes for universities
'and colleges, as well as high school
students, said Dr. Stafford. It is
hoped that Mr. Williams will be

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.
GRIDIRON PLOWED
Hayward field has been plowed
up and will be worked over when
the weather permits so that the
field events in the coming track
