CURRENT QUESTIONS STUDIED AT RECENT ASILOMAR MEETING Report of Y. M. Conference in California Tells of Many Nations Represented (Editor’s note: This is the first of a series of seven articles on the Asilomar conference held in Mon terey, California, during the Christ mas holidays, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. The articles are being written by Jim Case^ from notes taken by Elam Amstutz, foren sie manager, who was one of the 11 representatives of the Univer sity at the conference.) Asilomar, California, near the his toric city of Monterey, on Mjonterey bay, selected by artists and litterati as an oasis even in the California land of wonders, furnished an ap propriate setting for the Western American conference, held from De cember 27 to January 3, under the supervision of the Y. M. C. A. There, on a rugged campus of 57 acres, students and faculty mem bers from all sections of the West came together to discuss, frankly and freely, matters of vital inter est to college m'en. There, radical and conservative locked horns in a sincere attempt to find satisfactory solutions to prob lems, international, national, local, and personal; either social, politi cal or economic. Men from India and Japan ^expressed without re serve the difficulties attending the relationship of their people with the Americans. The primary ob ject ef the conference was to have an unhampered expression of ideas from the young men of the West in regard to current questions^ The result was more than pleasing, in the opinion of Frances Miller, one of the two national secretaries of the Y. M. C. A., who visited the Oregon campus a few days after the beginning of the present term. By ship, train, and automobile, the 500 representatives gatheretd to talk among themselves and to hear noted eddr^tora an<^ lectt^rens of the East, Middle West and West. 'Almost every eollege in the West was represented by one or more delegates, the number from eaeh be ing determined by the size of the in R.O.T.G. OFFERS CHANCE TO ATTEND 1925 GAMP The E. O. T. C. department is attempting to obtain an estimate of the number of freshmen and sopho mores who would like at attend the summer camp at Camp Lewis just after school is out in June. Jun iors in advanced military are re quired to go. The instructors believe that all \snderclassmen who plan to take the advanced military course, or even those who are going to take only the required two year course will profit a great deal by going. June 12 to July 23 inclusive is the tentative time for the six-week training period at Camp Lewis in 1925. Expenses of the underclass men to and from the camp are paid by the government. Shelter, cloth ing, excellent food and recreation are provided for the men during their stay in camp. It is desired that those who are interested in 'attending the annual training camp this year, report to their, drill instructor at the) E. O. T. C. department b'efore Saturday noon, January 17. Last year, 24 men from the Uni versity attended. Three of these took the basic course, or the work outlined for underclassmen. Four juniors who did not attend the camp last year must do so this year, in order to complete their military work. Cadet officers who have been at similar camps are enthusiastic con cerning the benefits both of the military training, and of the recre ational phase. SOPHOMORE ELECTED HEAD OF R.O.T.C. BAND John E. Davis, a sophomore in economies, was elected president of the E. O. T. C. band at a meeting Tuesday afternoon. G. M. Drury and Laverne Pearson, freshmen, were elected to serve on an execu tive committee. Pearson was also elected secretary- of the band. The executive committee;) is com posed of Freshmen because it will be possible for the members to or ganize the band next year where as sophomores would no longer be in the organization. stitution. From the University of Oregon, 11 men journeyed south, mainly by automobile. One Oregon gToup bought a Ford especially to make fhe trip and only abandoned the typically Oregon -weather-beaten ma chine when within several miles of Eugene on the return trip. The men who went to the conference are: Robert Giffen, Chi Sung Pil, Lester Smith, James Stewart, Dell Tedrow, Bart Kendall, Harry La Porte,, Clifford Constance, Paul Pat terson, Onofre Hipe, and Elam Amstutz. 1 Through the courtesy of the Y. W. C. A., which owns the Asilomar pampus, and through the hospital ity of the California Christian or ganizations, the visiting delegates were provided with entertainment and lodging during the entire time the conference was in session. For merly the conferences were held by the Western states individually or in pairs. Last year, the Seabeck conference in Washington enter tained delegates from both Oregon and Washington Y. M. C. A. groups. This is the first time that the en tire western area has been as sembled in one conference and plans are being completed whereby the convention will be an annual af fair. In the conference itself, the dele gates were in session from early morning until late at night, Groups of from four to 10 discussed topics of the hour, and later in the day re ports of the various groups were submitted before a general assembly and comparisons drawn by lecturers pnd officers of the conference. Men such as Nornmn F. Coleman, presi dent of Reed eollege, Portland, and Harrisen 6. Elliott of New York, summarized the points of the day and presented them to the assembly, together with personal views on the subjects. “Russ” Callows, coach of the University of Washington’s rowing crew, was a principal figure of the conference in explaining the view taken by students and athletes of the different problems. HOMER COLLECTION 1 RECEIVES NEW BOOKS Volumes Recently Published; Wood Cuts are Used Rich wood-cuts, exceptionally fine water color prints and artistic typo graphical arrangements loom out as the distinguishing features of a little group of eight books recently added to the Pauline Potter Homer Memorial collection in the Univer sity library. All the book are of recent publication and are unusually well printed. Hans Andersen’s “Fairy Tales,” a good-sized book printed in large type, is replete with delicately finished water color illustrations and wood-cuts of a dis tinctly fine grade. The ever-intrigu ing “History of Don Quixote de la Mancha” of Cervantes (Shelton translation) is given added valua tion in a new book published by Constable & Co., London, and pro fusely illustrated with amusingly fantastic reproductions of famous old “Knight of the Windmills,” done in water color and wood en graving. “Old Inn,” by Cecil Aldin, pub lished in London by William Heine man, is another book which proves especially delightful to the admirer of good books. The soft ground etchings which appear in abundance all through the work, are especially delightful to the eye. “The House of Gladness,” by Maurice Maeterlinck, illustrated by E. J. Detmold; “The Story of My Heart,” by Kichard Jeffries, and “Gardens of Borne,” by Gabriel Faure, completes the list of newly acquired books. In the last men tioned book, by Faure, several full page water color drawings in the original by P. Vignal, add immeas urably to the interest of the work.

At the beginning of the season it was ru mored that there would have to be a combination junior-senior team jowing to the lack of available eau j didates to fill positions on two sep arate class teams, but conditions have improved to such an extent that a first and second team for each class will be* chosen. Mildred, “Buster”, Onslaw. star forward slated for the junior team, is out of the running with a brok en ankle. This will necessitate a drastic reorgbnization of junior team, material. There is little hope that the crippled forward will re cover in time for any of the games this season. Girls will be selected for first and second teams at the managers’ meeting Monday. Assignments to positions will not come until later. In the two practices before the first game scheduled for next Fri day, first and second teams of each Class will receive intensive training in team work. Signals are being developed to an efficient stage, and practice games show a marked in crease in speed. Very close scores are predicted for a number of the approaching interclass games.

L., Editor Volume 4 SATURDAY, A. M, Number 8 GASTIT SPECTACLE HELD What was probably the deadest affair of the winter social season occurred last night when the “Glani mor and Scoffin’’ pulled its an nual brawl somewhere in the coun try. Hiding in state in a special car the members of this notorious group proceeded to their secret lair to indulge in another wonder night ablaze in the Friscan spirit. (Other spirits are not mentioned.) The dance held in the Rendovous of the followers of the Glammor and Scoffin was a dreary success. Embalming fluid and skull cakes were served for the refreshments. The Hall being attractively decor ated with “stiffs,” coffins and crepe. TEA TABLE FOR TRAINING Beginning next Monday evening i OBAK’S will start a training table for tea hounds. The purpose of this action is that men who aro at- ' tending sorority dinners and teas may be substantially provided with the necessary nourishment before [ starting out on their ventures. The table will serve meals only in the 1 evening^as the men can be properly] -- fed at tlieir homes during the noon hour. Each evening table talks will be given the boys as well as a thor ough workout in davenport calis thenics. OBAK’S hopes in a few weeks to be able to turn ■ out a group who can balance a cup of tea in one hand, juggle nabiscoes in the other while sauntering about in delightful conversation. A ridged social test must be past in order to gain admittance to the training table. None but men suffering from malnutrition caused by eating at sorority houses will be admitted. NEW CLASS ROOM SYSTEM STARTED Due to the large enrollment OBAK’S has had to divide its time , between two groups majoring in pool and billiards. Students A to H will have the tables from 8:00 to 9:00 and those with names beginning with letters H to Z will have the tables from 9:00 to 10:00. This system is plan ned to relieve the congested condi tion of the class rooms which have been over-crowded this quarter.
