Wheeler, of the psychology department, will make a report of the committee which is considering especially gifted stu dents, tonight, before a meeting of the local chapter of the American Association of University Profes sors. The meeting will be held at six o’clock, at the Anchorage. Dr. C. E. Seashore, of the Uni versity of Iowa, who visited the campus a few weeks ago, appointed Dr. Wheeler chairman of the com mittee to investigate the methods by which gifted students might be enabled to do better work. The meeting is to be in the form of a dinner, and the election of of ficers. which was postponed from the lae>t session, will be held at this time. Professor Edgar E. DeCou, of the mathematics department, is the retiring president. Dr. O. T. Stafford, of the chemistry depart ment, was secretary during the past year. Senior Writeups For 1925 Oregana Are Still Lacking Few senior write-ups for the Oregana were handed in last week, in proportion to the num ber of seniors whose pictures were taken for that section of the year-book. These must be in to identify pictures and the time limit has been lengthened till Friday of this week. A box is in the vestibule of the library where write-ups can be left or they may be placed on the bulletin board of the journalism building for Margaret Vincent. Write-ups are to include name, hometown, major subject, living organization, honorary fraternities and clubs, campus activities and offices. , OFFICERS OF 0.0,11 COMPANIES ASSIGNED Instructors Complete List Of Places for Men Although permanent appoint ments as officers in the E. O. T. C. companies cannot be made due to the irregularity of the drill periods of the various students, assignments for ranking officers have been made by the army officers in structing the respective companies. The assignments include first and second lieutenants, first sargeants, sargeants and corporals. The men do not drill always at the same time as other men in their class, and it often happens that there are more sophomores or up perclassmen in one company than there are positions for. However an attempt has been made to select the best qualified men for officers, and a fairly good organization of all companies is the result. Squad leaders have also been se lected and the cadet officers will take the roll themselves in moat of the companies. Heretofore roll has been called by the instructor at a resulting waste of time. In the regular army, the non-commissioned officers have charge of checking up on the men in the company, and a report is then made to the com mander. PHI CHI THETA TO SELL DOUGHNUTS TOMORROW Big, fat doughnuts are promised the students tomorrow by the mem bers of Phi Chi Theta when they hold their annual sale of the sugary circles. The money derived will go into the scholarship fund of $50, award ed annually by Phi Chi Theta, wo men 's honorary commercial frater nity, to a junior or senior woman in the department. The student who receives the scholarship is judged upon her scholastic record and ability in activities. She must be partly self-supporting. The doughnuts will be sold all day tomorrow on the campus. The usual fee of five cents will be ex tracted. FLOYD MAXWELL TAKES CHARGE OF NEWS REEL Floyd Maxwell, ex-’23, school of journalism, who has been on the Oregonian staff for several years, serving in the capacity of motion picture editor, has recently been appointed news director and editor of the Oregonian news reel. This reel will contain the biggest news events and novelties from weelc to week. While on the campus, Mr. Max well was editor of the Emerald, and was a member ef Sigma Delta Chi, men’s national journalism frater UNTFERSITY OF LONDON IS LARGEST IK WORLD University of London.—The Uni versity of London is the largest uni versity in the world, having more colleges affiliated with it than any other. These colleges oeeupy at present not less than 212 acres. CAMPUS TALENT PLAT TO APPEAR Original Musical Fantasy Is Production of Fergus Reddie and Perry Arant FAIRYLAND IS SETTING Orchestra, Chorus, Ballet Chosen From Music and Dramatic Departments “Yellow Candle Light,” the Uni-, versity of Oregon’s own play, will have its premiere tomorrow night at Guild theatre. Written, com posed, directed, produced and acted by University people, this original musical fantasy by Fergus Reddie and Perry Arant offers something distinctly new in entertainment, both for University and towns people. “Yellow Candle Light” has been described by some of the people wb ■-> have seen it in rehearsal, as appeal ing to the same type of audience that has attended performances of “Peter Pan” for the many years that Barrie’s fantasy has been so popular. Play Deals with Fairyland Tt deals with a child’s conception of fairyland, and is produced en tirely from the child’s point of view. Yet the comedy is such that it Appeals to the older person, bring ing back memories of school days and childhood sweethearts. The simple, appropriate melodies are entirely original and will be sung by a chorus of sixteen voices. An orchestra has been organized under the direction of Perry Arant, especially for “Yellow Candle Light,” whose members are all prominent in University music cir cles. All of the dancing and ballet work is under the direction of Del bert Faust. Scenery is Elaborate The new scenery constructed dur ing the Christmas holidays, togeth er with many yards of brilliantly shaded cloth, bought especially for the play, will be used with all the effectiveness and liberty which such a fantasy allows. All of the animals in the play (two horses and one mouse) are being played by men, under peculiarly constructed costumes. The designs for the horses are executed more on the impressionistic style than on the realistic. The box office at Guild theatre will be open during class periods today and throughout the remainder of the week. The usual prices of 50 cents and 75 cents will prevail. GODFREY SELECTED LEADER OF SCRIBES George H. Godfrey, sports writer for the Christian Science Monitor, was elected president pf the newly formed University of Oregon Sports Writers’ association at a meeting last night. Nine sports writers, representing eight newspapers, were i made charter members. Associate members will be elected among the sports writers on the Emerald who show promise. Honor ary members will be ehosen from the sports writers of the leading newspapers in the country, who have done valuable service to the University, either through their columns or otherwise. The purpose of the association is to get a better working arrange ment among the writers and to elim inate duplicity. Thus, both the writers and the coaches, will be saved much time. Before a big football game, Godfrey explained, coaches have been pestered with as many as 12 or 13 reporters a day for stories. Under the new system, the routine work will be covered by one writer and the others will get the notes from him to write their stories. Each man, however, will be entitled to his “scoops.” “We will get better acquainted with the athletes,” said Godfrey. "We are going to invite them to a (Continued on pag* four) Composer of Music for Fantasy I Perry Arant HOLD PINING BOUTS Wrestlers Will Continue Mat Matches Today Preliminary bouts of the dough nut wrestling schedule were run off last night.

Greely and Sommers in the 118 pound class, will meet in a challenge bout. In the 138 pound class Kelson challenged Ep ping; Strauss challenged Fitzsim mons in the 178 pound class and Proffit meets Stevens in the un limited weights.

Bates are having a most en joyable European trip. They are at present in Rome. Mr. Bates re ports that living prices are ap preciably rising, being almost doubled in France and Italy. They have remained about the same in England. “Rome is full of priests and sold iers,” he says, in a recent letter to Dean Colin V. Dyment. “But I do not fight with them, bei. g too busy studying Italjan writing and trying to find out the details of the reform of the Italian educational system, recently put across by Gio vanni Gentile,—the one instance in history of a philosopher’s doing any thing practical!” Mr. Bates says that they will re main until March. It is their in tention to return to Eugene in time for the University summer session. STUDENTS TAKE POSITIONS ON LOCAL NEWSPAPERS Three school of journalism stu dents have recently gone to work on Eugene and Springfield papers.

AMERICAN DEGREES ARE TOO EAST, SAT CHINESE University of Florida.—The min istry of education of China is op posing the sending of Chinese stu dents to American universities, say ing that American college courses are inefficient and degrees are ob tained too easily.

Wayne Leland has been ap pointed as an advertising manager; (Continued on page four) WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PROCRAM POSTPONED Women’s basketball has been fur ther postponed until the middle of February, owing to additional cases of vaccination for small-pox. Even with this extended delay, a number of the players who were vaccinated only a few days ago, will not be able to play in the open ing games. This also affects sched uled practices which will not begin until further notice. “Women’s swimming meets may begin sometime next week,” said Miss Barbara Page, swimming coach. No teams can be entered un less they have been able to get in the required number of practices. Vaccination has been making this a complicated process. The women’s rifle team has been affected only slightly by vaccina tion cases, according to Edna 8pen ker, head of the sport. Practice in actual shooting began Monday. Next week the women's rifle squad will match its marksmanship with that of the men’s rifle squad. Scores for the entire week will be kept and a comparison of the women’s scores with those of the men’s at the end of the weeks’ shooting will reveal the superior marksmen. Mystery Package From Seattle Lies In Campus Depot Mystery surrounds a package received by H. M. Fisher, of the University depot last Saturday morning. This package was a large, bulky one, addressed to the lost and found department, and postmarked Seattle. A yellow raincoat with a green “O” unrolled itself when the bundle was opened. No explana tion accompanied the article, so the coat now hangs on a nail in the lost and found cabinet along with many others of similar de scription. What history lies back of this unusual procedure is a matter for conjecture, and Mr. Fisher 'ex plains it in two ways, either that it is a practical joke, or the re sultant action of some conscience stricken soul who ropents a hasty appropriation performed on an especially wet day. TIME FOR PAYMENT OF FEES NEARS ENO Stragglers Will Receive No Mercy This Term With five days left for paying fees, the announcement has come from the business office that strag glers will be shown no considera tion. When closing time on Satur day arrives, the windows will be shut, and those who will not have paid their fees will suffer the added penalty of three dollars for the first day after the period is ended, and 25 cents for each day thereafter. Last term those who could not be accomodated on the closing day were given slips which permitted them to pay their fees without the added three dollars on the Monday following. This practice will be discontinued because of the long period allowed this term. This ex tension in time was made purposely to eliminate late payment feds, but the students have been slow to take advantage of the opportunity. Very few students, compara tively, have paid their fees so far, and the remainder are accepting the extra period as a t’md for de t lay. The business staff has asked that students waste no more time, as it is hardly possible to accomo date the number who must pay their fees in tho timo left. Thoso who do wait until the last minute, however, will receive none of the kindnesses of former years. PEARL PYRITZ ACCEPTS POSITION IN CALIFORNIA Pearl Pyritz, former student in the department of physical educa tion, is now physical education in structor at the El Retiro school for girls at San Fernando, California, about 25 miles from Los Angelos, according to word received here. Miss Pyritz accepted this posi tion at Thanksgiving time, having been with the Heinline Conserva tory of Roseburg as dancing in structor since September. “The El Retiro school is in ses sion the year around,” writes Miss Pprltz. “We have no vacation times as most schools have. I get a day to myself only once in a while, as we are very busy all of the time. I have eharge of the clinic depart ment as well as physical education, and for the past few weeks I have been nurse, doctor, and general secretary as well. “Anyone is mistaken who says this part of California is warm. Tt is colder here than I have ever know it to be in Oregov and I sometimes get homesick to be back again.” AJVARD FAIRBANKS FATS VISIT HERB YESTERDAY Avard Fairbanks, former instruc tor of sculpture in the University, paid a short visit here yesterday morning, on a sidr trip from Boise, Idaho. Mr. Fairbanks left his work here last summer to take a sculp ture course at Yale and came to Boise on business. His statue of “The Doughboy,” which he made here last venr. was accepted by the state of Idaho as a memorial to the overseas veterans QUINTET FACING CRITICAL GAMES Varsity Meeting Whitman Tonight in First Fray Of Important Series PAIR OF REGULARS OUT Hoopers to Play Huskies And Grizzlies During Heavy Home Campaign When the Oregon basketball quin tet meets the Whitman five tonight t-'le armory’ the var8i»y v.H swing into the heavy end of the Northwest Conference schedule, for the games scheduled for this week will all be contests that will force the Lemon-Yellow five to play theTinr80u form in thft7'wh-*reMon of the 0,088 oontest that Whitman gave O. A. C. last week the Missionaries are now rated as a dangerous team that might upset the pennant aspirations of several coast conference quin r-* 6 A^ies barely defeated the Whitman team by a 0ne point margin, the score ending 12-11 in favor of the Beavers. Substitutes May Start When tho varsity meets Whit man tonight, tho team will be crip pled by the loss of several veterans, noward Hobson, speedy varsity for ward, is out as the result of a vac cination. Hobson will probably bo out of the line-up for several days. Ted Gillenwaters is recovering from a sprained ankle but may break in to the game tonight, although it may be necessary to run in subs to fill the places left open by the loss of these regulars. The Oregon varsity has just re turned from a very successful north ern trip, having defeated three quintets by impressive scores. Their victory over the Multnomah five is made outstanding as a result of the Clubmen’s victory over the Aggies. Pacific and Willamette also fell be fore the attack of the Oregon bas keteors. . Expect Tough Games Judging by tho scores that the varsity has run up against their op ponents, Oregon should got off to a £°°d start this week. But against more experienced quintets, the Ore gon five may find tougher opposi tion. Pho tilt tonight will serve as a medium to judge whether tho var sity will be ablo to take the meas ure of the Montana and Washing ton teams. The Oregon basketeers will be aided in one respect in their games this week inasmuch as, each opponent of tho varsity plays 0. A. C. the night before and therefore) the opposition will probably not furnish as lively competition. RIFLE TEAM STARTS TO PRACTICE FIRING The men’s rifle team of the R. O. T. C. is engaged in actual firing for the first time since practice began several weeks ago. Only a few shots are being fired each even ing this week, until all the fellows get used to firing. Ten shots apiece were fired yesterday after noon by each man out for the team. With the first match only about a week away, more intensive prac tice in actual firing will begin as soon as possible. The progress each individual makes will depend en tirely upon himself, according to Captain ,T. T. Murray. If a man can advance fast in learning to fire, he will be allowed to shoot more than the man who needs more in struction in squeezing the trigger without actually firing. ALLEN CARNCROSS, EX-’22, ON LOS ANGELES HERALD Allen Carneross, ’22, school ot journalism, is now on the copy desk of the Los Angeles Herald, having left the San Diego Union. Mr. Carneross was on the Emerald and Oregana staffs, and was a member of Sigma Delta Chi, men’s national journalism fraternity.
