In Heilig Theatre; Prices
For Seats Are Announced
The -week beginning February 16
will be given over to tryouts for

All students who contemplate tak

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

In judging during the tryouts,
two other people besides Krausse
will be appointed to pass upon the
offerings of the prospective enter

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

75 cents. Disposition of the boxes
has not been made as yet. The en

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.

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

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

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

Adams, 7
Coons, 3
Substitutes: Oregon, Reinhart, 7;

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

Susan Campbell hall entertained,
Thursday evening at a dinner in
honor of Dr. Warner. Guests in

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.

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.

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.

ball cap'’in in Portland, also may
start tho game. Richstien, also a
member of the Medford champion

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.
