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

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.

UPPERCLASS WOMEN
TO HAVE HOOP TEAM
Separate basketball teams will
represent the junior and senior wo
men’s classes this season. 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.

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.
