Prom the smallest Batik handker chi(^ to the largest oil and water col ors, and from the tea and reception at four until the last doughnut and cup of cider at ten, Jury day in the art school was enjoyed and favorably criticised by judges and visitors. Work of the students of the vari ous departments was on review in j the studios, where the judges passed ■criticism on it, and where guests and friends of the school were able •to see the development made in the ■different branches.

D, James, Folger Johnson, Morris Whitehouse, John 1 Bennis, and Joseph Jaccoberger. Mrs. Bamberg and Miss Barker ] criticised the work of the normal and fine arts department and the five men, who are Portland archi tects, judged the drawings of the architecture students. At two ■o’clock Miss Barker spoke before a gathering of normal art students •on antique colonial furniture, and throughout the day -student confer ences were held to discuss the dif ferent phases of the work. Mrs. Bamberg, who has been a guest of Jury day for several years states that she has never been so pleased with the work. “I think it is deliglitful, the things that "these young people are doing. The ■ dainty things in the normal arts department, the models of the scul pture classes, the splendid examples of oil-and wqter-color—everything appeals to me! ” John Bennis, who with Mrs. Bennis cama down with the archi tects from Portland to see the work of the school of architecture, is en thusiastic in his comments of this department. “There is a marked development over the work of pre (Continued on page four) !

REVIVAL IN READING NOTICED; STUDENTS ON UPWARD TREND How many books do you read out side your class requirements, in a term? What kind of books do you read? It is generally agreed that the reading of a goodly number of books of divers natures is absolutely essential to the attainment of a lib eral education. We who would se cretly fain emulate the example of Oxford, are constantly exhorted to widen our field of outside reading, to “read more and better books.” If the opinions of a few of the faculty members of the University of Oregon, men and women who are in a position to form a fair estima tion of campus conditions, can be taken as indicative of the actual amount of outside reading being -done by the students of the Uni versity, there is a marked revival of interest in books *mvong stu dents. All, however, are Hgreed that the average student does not read as mueh as he should, and their comments on this problem of the student’s outside reading should be food for thought for any who are interested in the betterment of the University. Mrs. Mabel McClain, head of the library circulation department, notes that students in general are reading more books at the present time than at any time in the past five or six years. “The general trend of interest," Mrs. McClain said, “seems to be toward books on biography and travel.

LOCAL HIGH ACHIEVES DISTINCTION IN GRADES The mean average for girls, who are graduates of the University high school now in attendance at the University, is 2.5, while that for the b<ws, graduates of the same high school and now enrolled in the University, is 2.8. These figures, based upon the grades made by 44 students during the past term, were compiled by Harl R. Douglass, of the school of education. The mean average for all the Uni versity high school graduates is 2.7. A number of these students, ap proximately one-fourth, completed the regular four • year secondary course in a three-year period. Many of these University high school graduates whose grades were used in the survey are freshmen and sophomores here. Only one aver aged below TV. This student re ceived P in all subjects, because he left s-hool without formally withdrawing from his classes.

The squad will leave on the afternoon train for Portland and will play the first contest of the trip with the clubmen there. Coach Reinhart is not expecting this tilt to bo a hard game as his men wallopped Willamette by a 63 to 31 score and the Bearcats came out on the long end of the score in there struggle with the Multnomah quintet. The winged M tessera are reported to have strengthened their five and hope to give the Web footers a hard battle. Two full squads are making the trip, including Cowans, Hobson, Okerberg.

UNIVERSITY HAS 2916 STUDENTS Winter Term Attendance Increases 176 on Campus And At Medical School RAPID GROWTH EVIDENT Increment of 56.6 Per Cent Shown; Calculation Made On Basis of 1925 Figures University registration shows an increase of 176 for the winter term, according to Carlton E. Spencer, registrar, which brings the number of students, including the medical school, to 2916. On the basis of these figures, Mr. Spencer believes that at least 100 persons will enter for the spring term, raising the registration for the year at Eugene and in the medi cal school to more than 3,000, a record for the University. Of this number about 2,800 will be in at tendance on the Eugene campus, it is estimated. The graduation class for 1925 is estimated ~at 400 by the registrar. This is an increase of 64 over the number who graduated last year. The rapid growth in University registration is evident in a compari son with the numbers registered here in previous years. On the bas is of 1920 figures, the increase has been as follows: 1921, 5.9 per cent; 1922, 25.5 per cent; 1923, 34.4 per cent: 1924, 36.8 per cent; and 1925, estimated on enrollment to date, 56.6. This means that the school population will likely be doubled in five years. Total registration last year, in cluding those in correspondence study and in the extension division, was 7,120. ALSATIAN STUDENTS MRS. HOOVER’S TOPIC “Student Life at Strassburg” is the topic of the talk which Mrs. Alta Cooney Hoover, member of the faculty and wife of Glenn Hoov er of the economics department, will give at the regular meeting of the Y. W. C. A. which is to be held at the Bungalow at 4:30 today. This talk will be especially in teresting, Miss Florence Magowan, secretary of the Y. W. C. A. stated today, since Mrs. Hoover has spent some time in Europe and has first hand knowledge of her subject. Esther Church, a junior in music, will give a piano solo. Eloise Buck will preside at the meeting. The meeting was to have been last week but due to a conflict with the Women’s League meeting, it was postponed until today. DR. MARTI RESIGNS EXECUTIVE POSITION The president of the Cosmopoli tan club, Dr. Fritz Marti, assistant professor of philosophy, yesterday resigned. Miss Andree Pellion, vice president of the club, is now acting as president until the place can be filled. No information has yet been given out as to who will be selected for the office. Juan Domingo expressed the opin ion that the club must have the support of the American students if it is to successfully continue. It is the medium of co-operation be tween the two groups of students. It affords valuable opportunity for the foreign student to more easily understand, the American point of view‘and for the American student to understand the foreigner’s point of view. A program is to be given in the spring by this group, which Mr. Domingo hopes will be patronizod by the University students. Humorous Snaps Wanted By Oregana Feature Editors “Pictures, snaps, photos,—hu morous, ridiculous or otherwise— we want ’em” is the message sent out by the feature editors of the 1925 Oregana. “If you have a personal grudge against some student on the cam pus and have a picture of him— send it in,” say the editors, “That’s what we want.” Often scattered among the stu dents of the University there are numbers of pictures which are too valuable to suppress—too in teresting to keep in the dark, and there is no better medium than the Oregana to give them j proper advertisement. If there are not such, it is just one step further to take them and that, in the opinion of the staff, is what should be done. If there are any pictures of Junior shine day, or other cam pus events, these too are wanted, is the word given out. All con tributions may be turned in to the Oregana office in the A. S. U. O. building. DISCUSSION GROUPS HOLD FIRST MEETING Women Study Geography of India and Turkey Two of the discussion groups, fos tered by the World Fellowship com mittee of the local Y. W. C.

ONE TIME STAR, TO GUIDET[1 Executive Council Makes Choice With Approval Of Alumni Association NEW MENTOR TWICE ON ALL-AMERICAN ELEVEN “Dick” Captained Gridsters Of Oregon and Columbia And Made Track Letter By unanimous consent of the executive council, Richard Shore Smith, of Eugene, was officially se lected as Oregon’s new grid men tor. “Dick” Smith, as he is com monly known, will serve in an ad visory capacity as coach for both the varsity and freshman football teams for an indefinite tenure, no definite time limit being included in his contract. The quiet session at which “Dick” Smith was selected to suc ceed Joseph II. Maddock as coach of the University of Oregon eleven came as an anti-climax to a spirited alumni meeting in Portland on Tuesday evening. The Portland alumni last evening at a conference, held to pass on the merits of a suc cessor for Maddock, enthusiastically fell into line, supporting Smith’s se lection. Advisor Has Backing The new advisory coach has not only the backing of the Portland alumni and Eugene alumni associa tions, but also the respect and back ing of the Oregon grid warriors who highly respect his ability as a leader and instructor on the grid iron. Richard Shore Smith was named All-American fullback by Walter Camp for two years while at Col umbia university, New York. He was an all-around athlete and dur ing his playing days, captain of two collegiate elevens, Oregon and Col umbia. Played for Columbia Smith was one of the greatest players of the period from 1896 to 1903 and many critics class him as among the best fullbacks who ever wore college colors. He won the distinction of making the All American team while a law stu dent at Columbia, following his graduation from the University of Oregon in 1901. He played on Columbia elevens from 1901 to, 1903. With the appointment of Smith, thorp are now two former All American players holding coaching positions on the Pacific, Coast.

Tt is to be the beginning of costume dances to be given annually. The movement toward introduc ing something different on the cam pus was inaugurated by the Seniors when they gave their Senior Ball and the Knights express the hope that the students will get behind this new idea as they did behind the ball. They are ashing that the students co-operate by eoming to the dance in costumes. As an ad ded incentive they are planning to give a novelty surprise a few days beforo the dance. It is the first affair of its kind on the campus and they intend to keep it different by offering fea tures, which though they may not be unique, will at the same time hot be similar to those usually giv en at campus dances. Already preparations have begun for the dance. Committees have been chosen and are at work. John Boswell, general chairman, will have charge of music and the circu lation of tickets. Parker Bran in will have charge of the decorations and refreshments and Lawrence Riddle will head the publicity and features.
