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

men 's honorary commercial frater

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.

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

ENJOYS VISIT IN ROME
Letters received by campus
friends state that Mr. and Mrs. Ern

“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.

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.”

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.
