DATE OF VOD-VIL TRI-OUTS SET Students to Offer Stunts For Selection During Week of February 16 ACTS TO BE ORIGINAL Entertainment Will Be Held In Heilig Theatre; Prices For Seats Are Announced The -week beginning February 16 will be given over to tryouts for the Junior Vod-Vil, according to an announcement made last night by Paul Krausse, who has charge of this event. The entire week will be given over to the tryouts. All students who contemplate tak ing part in this event will present their productions during the week designated for tryouts, said the chairman in charge. The act or other offerings must be original, but need not necessarily be memorized by the student. The lines may be read, instead of recited. In judging during the tryouts, two other people besides Krausse will be appointed to pass upon the offerings of the prospective enter tainers. These will be appointed at a later date. Although the tryouts will not re quire the finished production, a comprehensive outline of the act must be presented to the judges, so that a clear idea can be had of its value on the stage. The hours and place of the judg ing will be announced later. Prices for the seats have already “been set. The entire floor in front of the posts will sell at one dollar a seat, while the seats behind the posts and under the balcony will sell for 75 cents. The first section in the balcony will sell for one dol lar a seat, and seats on the sec ond section of the balcony will be 75 cents. Disposition of the boxes has not been made as yet. The en tertainment will be held in the Heilig theatre. The staff of workers has already been named. In addition to those already appointed, Tom Robertson has been added to the corps as elec trician. The dates for the vod-vil have been set for May 8 and 9. CAMPUS WOMEN LEAD GIRL RESERVE CLUBS Girl reserve clubs of the local high schools, under the leadership of campus women, sent their lead ers and representatives to the meet-, ing held at the Y. W. C. A. build- ! ing down town yesterday for the purpose of hearing Nelson F. Me-, Duff, head of the national forest1 reserve service, present his plans for “Forest Reserve Week,” which is to be held in April.

South American Republic Copies World’s Customs The language and nature of the people of Spain is about all that is left in Chile that is really Span ish. The very style of architec ture is copied from English models. Chile, one of the most modern of the South American countries, imitates the world in general, and England in particu lar, said Italia C. Dallera, who is now an instructor in the romance language department. Her home is in Santiago, Chile. “Oh, of course we have the tango,” she laughed, “but we have all of your dance steps too!” The music that is popular in America, is also popular in Chile. “Yes, We Have No Bananas” made its first appearance in a Chilean cabaret just after its in troduction in Chicago. The Chilean students love sports as the English do, just for the spirit of the sport. Football and fennis are the favorite games, while the Sunday raees, of course, are the events which no one ever misses, Mass Dallera explained. Basketball is just now becoming known among the students. DATE FOR FROSH GLEE CHANGED TO MARCH 7 Former Time included in Holiday Week-end The date for the Frosn Glee has been changed from February 21 to March 7, on account if the Wash ington ’s birthday holiday week-end following the original date for the function. In spite of the fact that the new date falls within three days of the two weeks limit placed upon all student affairs in examination time, the Glee was set for March 7. This action was taken after consid erable discussion in the student af fairs committee yesterday after noon, when it was brought out that if the dance were held on the night of February 21, this would be the first night of a three-day vacation, and a large majority of the students would have gone home. Inasmuch as Monday, February 23 is allowed as a holiday, there is a vacation lasting from the last Friday after noon classes until Tuesday morning following. This, it was pointed out in the committee meeting, will be taken advantage of by most of the students, which fact was overlook ed when the affair was set for Feb ruary 21. Petition for change of date was presented by the executive com mittee of the freshman class, which has charge of this annual campus affair. DEAN DYMENT ATTENDS MEETING IN PORTLAND Dean Coliin V. Dyment left for Portland yesterday to attend a meeting of the University of Ore gon Medical school curriculum com mittee, of which he is chairman. ANNOUNCEMENT Doughnut wrestling, men’s gym nasium, Monday, January 26, 4 p. m. All entrants required to be on floor. ASPECTS OF CO-EDUCATION DISCUSSED BY DEAN STRAUB “While there are some good points in the co-educational system,” said Professor John Straub, dean ■of men, “I sometimes doubt its val ue. There is no doubt that it en ables men to measure up women at their real value, and not dream that they are angels. Again, it shows the women that men aren’t all heroes.” An eastern college president haB issued the statement that a student should have read 100 books in his four years at school. “One hun dred books a year was the stand ard in my college days,” said Dean Straub. “But then,” he continued, ■“there were no dinner dances, nor ■mill race parties. When the men gathered around the dinner table at night, they discussed the day’s news events. The students also found time., to keep up with current magazines. “Where did we find time to read 100 books a year? Well, on Sun day afternoons, it was not uncom mon to go off for a walk in the woods, and read Milton’s ‘Paradise Lost,’ or some of Shakespeare’s works. 1 am afraid that very few students do that, today. “I have read the Bible four times,” the dean continued. “It is the only book that I have ever been able to read more than once. When I was 40, I tried to re-read Robin son Cruso, which I had read as a boy, nine years of age. I found the reading dull, because I could still anticipate what was coming next. “Most of the colleges and univer sities now have the co-educational system. Of course, all the state nni ( Continued on page four) , RECENT YEARS BRING VICTORY Basketball Gains Attention Since Coming of “Bill” Hayward to the Campus STATISTICS ARE QUOTED Improvement in Varsity’s Playing is Indicated By Sports Staff Writer (Editor’s note: This is the first of a series on basketball by the Emerald Sports Staff statician, Don Osborne. The next will follow in an early issue). Through a string of victories in the last few years, Oregon has gained for herself a reputation of always being a strong contender for the basketball championship for both the coast and northwest conferences. However, until about four yeafs ago, this story was en tirely different: not enough atten tion was given to basketball. AH interest was turned to other sports, chiefly, of course, to football. Few Games Won The University of Washington has won a big majority of the games played between the two schools. Stanford has never lost a game to the varsity; they have won 10 straight. However, they have not played Oregon for the last two or three years. The University of California, too, has won a majority of her games against Oregon. The O. A. C., the W. S. C. and the Ore gon teams have all been in some what the same class. O. A. C. has won a little over half and W. S. C. a little under her half of their games with Oregon. They too have been putting out much better teams in the last three or four years than they did before. Last W. S. C. Game Thriller Eemember the Washington game in the Armory last year. The last minute of play found Oregon one point ahead, when an Oregon man fouled a man from Washington, With the game actually handed to him the Washington player handed it back by missing both shots. For excitement this game has been equaled only by the one played by the same two teams on the same floor the previous year. When the final gun was fired the score was tied 32-32 which necessitated the playing of an extra period of five minutes. Here a thing happened which probably will not happen in the next million games played. At (Continued on page four) DOUGHNUT WRESTLING J TO BEGIN ON MONDAY The doughnut wrestling artists will break into the sport program when they open their intramural contests in the men’3 gymnasium Monday afternoon. All men partaking of this sport will have to be on the mat at 4 o’clock and be ready for their turn. The weighing in process will be handled in the office at the physi cal education department. There have been a few changes listed in the matches. B. Epping, Phi Sigma Pi will wrestle in the 138-pound class and has received a bye for his first match. L. Oxford, Oregon club, is entered in the 148 pound class and receives a bye. A. Strauss, Oregon club, will meet C. Williams, Friendly hall, in the 178 pound class. S. Stevens is entered in the unlimited class and receives a bye for the first match. If men fail to make arrangements for non-participation for their match a decision will be given to their opponent according to the set of rules drawn for the occasion. Earl Widmer, varsity wrestling coach, will officiate at the meet and will render all decisions. The matches will take place on the second floor of the men’s gym nasium and arrangements will be made for the care of the spectators wishing to see the men in action. Varsity Defeats Pacific By 9 Final Score of 65 to 21 Go wans is Varsity High Point Man Forest Grove, Oregon,—(Special) —The varsity basketeers triumphed over the Pacific Badgers at Forest Grove last night in a hard fought game by a 65 to 21 score. According to Reinhart, Oregon’s mentor, the game was fast and clev er. An improvement was noted in the varsity teamwork and passing ability and although the game was a bit rough at times comparatively few fouls were called. This gives the varsity two wins so far in their northern invasion and as the next game is with Wil lamette tonight they are expected to return home with all wins. Gowans was high point man of the fracas with Hobson and Oker berg running a close second and third. The lineup is as follows: Oregon 65 Gowans, 17 Hobson, 12 Okerberg, 10 Westergren, 7 Gillenwaters, 10 Pacific 21 Jessee, 2 Tucker, 3 Emerson, 6 Adams, 7 Coons, 3 Substitutes: Oregon, Reinhart, 7; Chiles, 2; Gunther, Jost, Carter. Pacific, Lyons, Blackman. Referee: Coleman. Educational Pictures Feature Of Show About fifty persons attended the free picture show given in the Y. M. C. A. hut last night under the direction of the Y. M. C. A. stu dent cabinet. A number of short travel, scenic, sport and educational pictures were shown. They included several tak en by the United States govern ment, which showed the work of some various governmental depart ments. One such was that of the acticities of the Department of Ag riculture. “Transportation,” an other government-taken picture, graphically traced the development of modes of transportation from the time of weary foot travel to the present age of electric locomotives. A picturization of “The Pied Piper of Hamlin” proved to be popular with the audience. Piano accompaniment was played by Clifford Constance, while Char lie Spear served as operator. Last night’s performance was somewhat of an experiment to de termine if there would bo enough interest to warrant the giving of more frequent entertainments of a similar knd. R. Bomayne Brand, chairman of the social committee in charge, declared the affair a suc cess. There will probably be similar shows given in the future but def inite plans have not been made. DR. WARNER HONORED WITH SOCIAL EVENTS Dr. Estelle Ford Warner, medical director for the Bureau of Child Hygiene, Oregon State Board of Health, informally addressed a group of senior majors in the de partment of physical education yes terday on the subject of, “Prin cipals of Physical Education.” Dr. Warner spoke before the Her mian club on health education, Thursday evening, and she devoted’ a large part of Friday morning to majors in physical education who are preparing theses related to her work. A number of social events honor ing Dr. Warner were given during her visit on the campus. Dr. War ner and Miss Florence Alden, head of the women’s physical education department, were the guests of Dean and Mrs. Bovard at luncheon at the Anchorage Friday. Susan Campbell hall entertained, Thursday evening at a dinner in honor of Dr. Warner. Guests in cluded all the members of the physi cal education faculty. SYSIENTIS PLAN Committee Recommends Change in Handling Music Athletics and Forensics PROMOTION IS BASIS Council Receives Plan As By-laws; Question to Be Placed on Spring Ballot A new managerial system in re gard to athletics, music and foren sics, was discussed by the commit tee which was appointed to investi gate the present system, and make recommendations. This committee consists of Randall Jones, chair man, Victor Risley, Ted Gillen waters, Lester Smith and Jack Benefiel. The conclusions which the com Present System Bad mittee came to, provide for a sys tem wherein the freshmen in an athletic activity are given a chance to work up, and persist in the ac tivity, contrary to tho present sys tem which is not very well defined and smoothly working. The idea is that the first year men are to do the actual work, and learn the plan and procedure of the manage ment. In their sophomore year, the beat of them will be promoted to the place of assistant manager ships. In the third year, the best one will be the direct manager of the activity working in co-opera tion with the graduate manager, and taking care of all the business and financial matters which the ac tivity entails. From among these direct managers, one man will be chosen to be the general manager of all activities, overseeing the ac tual working and the porsonnel. seeing that the ranks are filled and the activity is functioning smoothly. Sweaters are Recommended Music and forensics will be han dled a little differently. They will be under the direct attention of the graduate manager, who will appoint assistants to take charge of the or chestra and glee clubs. The committee also recommended that one stripe sweaters be given to the managers, and a sweater bearing two stripes be given to the senior manager. Tho committee ex pects to get these recommendations in the fonm of a by-law, to pre sent to tho executive council. If it receives approval from this source it will be put on tho ballott and submitted to the students for vote at the next election of the A. s. u. o. STATISTICS COMPARE SALARIES AT SCHOOLS Statistics recently computed from figures of the United States bureau of education report, compare the average salaries of the faculties of the state universities in the United States with those of the faculty of the University of Oregon. These statistics show that 17 uni versities have larger enrollments than the University of Oregon, while 27 have smaller enrollments. Figured on a basis of the 45 uni versities in the country, 27 of them pay higher salaries to their instruc tors, 17 pay higher salaries to as sistant professors, 25 pay more to professors, 31 pay more to their deans, and 26 university presidents receive higher salaries. These figures show rather a large discrepancy at the University of Oregon. Only the salaries paid to assistant professors here, are as high as in other state universities, on a basis of enrollment. With Ore gon eighteenth in enrollment, it al so ranks eighteenth in the matter of salaries paid assistant profes sors. However, in the case of salar ies received bv instructors, profes sors, deans, and presidents, the Uni versity of Oregon ranks from eight to fourteen places lower than she should, in consideration of the comparative enrollment of the vari ous state universities. Amber Fluid Puts . Valentino Sheen On Tousellecf Locks A mystery has raised its head on the campus almost over night, as it were. It appears as if cer tain touselled locks have sud denly ceased to be touselled, and have acquired brilliance and beauty. In short, the owners of said formerly touselled locks have taken on the appearance of Val entinos. Magic? Mysticism! Hardly. The answer lies in a small bot tle of a certain amber liquid, guaranteed to make tousolled locks stay put, to put a coat of varnish on the most unattractive of hempen or other mops of hair, and to absolutely make them stay put for—well, several hours at least. Whether any of the recipients of the small samples of amber fluid have given it the several hours tryout or not is not known, but as long as the fluid lasts, it continues to be employed to dazzle the eyes of the—er—the opposite sex. It is said that the staying qualities of this fluid will be best known when the last drop has been used. FOUR CLASS TEAMS TQ COMPETE MONDAY Women Will Start Season With Interclass Mix The first interckss women’s bSS ketball game of the season has been scheduled for Monday, Febru ary 2.

AUSTRALIA STUDIED BY DISCUSSION GROUP The geography and natural re sources of Australia was the sub ject of an animated discussion held yesterday noon at tho Anchorage by the World Fellowship study group of which Katherine Reade is a leader. This is the first time this group lias met for discussion. All except the group studying Mexico has had its first meeting, which takes up the discussion of the geography and natural resources of the country. This group will meet next Thursday at the Anchor age for a dinner meeting. TO PLAY TODAY Hard Battle Predicted in Basket Contest in Gym nasium This Afternoon FRANKLIN TEAM STRONG Visiting Quintet Said to Have Had More Practice Than the Freshman Five The freshman basketball team will get its first baptism under fire when it meets the speedy Franklin high school quintet from Portland in the men’s gymnasium today at 2 o ’clock. The first year basketeers have been gradually rounding into shape under Coach Evans, and they will give the aggressive Franklin team a hard battle. A number of prom ising players are numbered on the frostt squad and they should develop into a strong combination when they get going. Grades Take Toll Tneligibility took its toll from tho ranks of the freshman candi dates when eight men were ruled off the squad because of grades. This will of course be a severe blow to the team for the time being at least, The Franklin team Is reputed to be one of the strongest in the Port land high school league this year. It is composed mostly of veteran players who have been practicing far longer than the freshmen have. “Red” Scallon, all-around athlete of the Franklin school, is probably the most outstanding player on the visiting aggregation. He is a clever player and one of the surest shots in Portland. He will be a man for tho yearlings to check eloBely. The imen from whom the fresh men lineup will be chosen today are Beeney, Turner and Krudson, for wards. Beoney was a member of the state championship Medford team coached by “Prink” Callison. Turner hails from Spokane, Wash ington, and he is a good floor man and an accurate shot. Krudson also from Portland. Choice is Between Two The choice for the center posi tion lies between Ebberhart, of Eu gene, and Sawalish, who comes from Oklahoma. Both men are lengthy and work well in tho teamwork. They should take advantage of fcheiy. hoighth for a number ot shots I around the basket for points. The guard positions are being contested by a number of promis ng candidates. Powers, former University high guard, will likely get a chance to start the game. Morton, of Marshfield, and Hutch ison, former Jefforson high basket ball cap'’in in Portland, also may start tho game. Richstien, also a member of the Medford champion ship five last year, is certain of I breaking iinto the lineup during the I contest. PuUstt, former Astoria I player, has been showing up well land will be given a chance to show his wares in action. CONDON CLUB INITIATES SHOW SKILL IN WIELDING SKILLETS (By E. S.) Five of the toughest and rough est fellows you’ve ever seen ram paged over the campus yesterday and showed their crudeness in the difficult and delicate task of flap ping flap-jacks. The geologic neophytes of Con don club put into practice their skilled muscular control, acquired by long use and familiarity with the shovel and pick. This time the adeptness was not in tossing nug gets across the bar and flashing the shooting-irons from the hips. Nope, the husky miners tossed a mean mixing spoon in the pan-cake bat ter and spun the flap-jacks into air. The spectators collected bets at eaeh miss. And raucous guf faws razzed the miner of uncertain aim when his flap-jacks flopped to the ground. Forty-niners, they were, from the boots to the cranium head-gear. Tents, skillets, a fire, liberal im pcrcations ip the language of the rock ages were atmospheric condi tions necessary. A grudge of long standing was paid off against the inhabitants of the Shack, the journalistic initiates being the victims. For eons the geology department has suffered precations in the language of the news in the estimable Emerald. “Ha, ha,” belowed the , miners. “We’ll fix them. Hist.” And forthwith the scribes were commandeered, and flatteringly fed with the skillet concoctions of flap jacks. Murder hath been done and the dailies will flame with this suave method of revenge. Recona pence goes to the miners.
