This week’s games in the Paei ■ fic coast conference: Saturday—Oregon versus Oregon j Aggies at Corvallis; Washington ■ State versus Washington at Seattle. ! Undaunted by their defeat in a j torrid encounter with the Huskies last Saturday night, the Oregon ' varsity is now preparing for a hard battle with the Aggies this week end. This contest promises to be one of the outstanding tilts of the season. Inasmuch as Washington, > O. A. C. and Oregon have each dropped one game, the result of the j ■contest between Oregon and the j' Aggies will no doubt eliminate or seriously handicap one of the Ore- J gon teams in the coast conference! race. Oregon Gets Lead The 33-29 score between the var- i sity and Huskies is a rather indi cation of the closeness of the game. Oregon started out with a lead and held the advantage till close to the l end of the first period. However, -the northern team opened up with a speedy offense in the final min utes of the initial half and gained the lead and from that time until the end of the game, Washington was fighting desperately to retain the upper hand of the tilt. Oregon Has Chance The loss of this game will not hamper the Oregon basketeers in j (Continued on page four) 1 BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT SENDS IDT INQUIRIES The status of the teaching of bi ology in the state is being deter mined by means of questionnaires. These questionnaires have been sent to the high schools of the state by Miss Vesta Holt, instructor in zoology. The questionnaire seeks to dis cover the character of the course and to learn what are its aims. Data is asked concerning the lab oratory equipment and the biologi cal library. The preparation of the instructor of the science is being asked. Prompt replies to the 232 inquir ies are returning to the depart ment. High schools wherein there are two teachers are mailed these queries. The class in the teaching of bi ology will compile the results of the investigations. These results ■will probably be published. Number of Stars Not Determined, Says Astronomer Professor E. H. McAlister, of the mechanics and astronomy de partment, believes that the nor mal eye can see 5,000 stars at a glance. A person whose eyes are well trained can see 10,000. “Some stare never come on this side of the equator,” said Profes sor McAlister. Besides, one sees but half the sky at a time, as the other half is on the other side of the world. “As to the actual number of stars in the sky, no one has de termined. We do know, though, that several hundreds of millions can be seen at the Lick observa tory in California and the Terkes observatory, owned by the Uni versity of Chicago, which have the two largest telescopes in the world. CHEMIST TO LECTURE TONIGHT FOR LAYMEN Relation to Other Sciences Speaker’s Topic Dr. Alexander Williams, secre tary of the American Chemical So ciety committee, which will award essay contest prizes involving $6,000, will speak before students and faculty in Alumni hall at 7:30 this evening. “Chemistry in Sci ence, Economics, and Politics,” will be the subject of his discussion. The society is offering six $20 prizes to high school students in each state as well as six four-year scholarships to Yale and Vassal-, each scholarship carrying $500 a i rear and tuition for four years. Besides, six prices of $1,000 have been provided for students of col legiate grade. The contest does not seek to add , materially to the numbers of those engaged in chemistry as a profes sion, nor to lay undue stress upon 'hemistry as a science, but rather to encourage students to know more about chemistry without nec essarily engaging upon the serious study of the science itself, to real ize the cultural value of such study and with this introduction to be come interested in a fuller acquaint ance with other natural sciences. INDIA WILL BE TOPIC AT COSMOPOLITAN CLUB Indian in all details, in decora tions, discussions and refreshments, will be the atmosphere of the Cos mopolitan club meeting tonight in the Y. W. bungalow at 7:30 o'clock. The addresses will be given by students who have lived in India. Satya Deve Loompa, of Jaloun, India, will discuss the economic and political conditions of his country. Daljit Singh Sadharia, a sophomore in the political science department, movement in India. The social con ditions will be discussed in an ad dress by Sylvia Hurd, who has re cently returned from a missionary position. The speakers will wear Indian costumes. Indian Refresh ments will be served after the talks.

TO GIVE ‘KEMPY’ Three-act Modern Comedy By J. C. and Elliot Nugent Will Be Presented Soon PROMINENT CAST CHOSEN Play Entertains Broadway Audiences With Clever Speeches and Situations Mask and Buskin chapter of Pi Epsilon Delta, national honorary dramatic fraternity, has selected “Kempy” by J. C. and Elliot Nugent, the big hit in New York two seasons ago, as the play which they will present at the Heilig theatre, February 26. “Kempy” is a three act modern comedy written by two of the most famous vaudeville skit writers of the day, and therefore does not de pend entirely upon situations to ereate comedy. The lines of “Kem py” were clever and humorous enough to amuse Broadway’s most critical audienees for nearly a year. It was only recently released by the publishers for amateur production. Wilson Has Comedy Bole The cast for “Kempy” has been selected by Norvell Thompson, the director, from among some of the most prominent Guild theatre ac tors who are members of Mask and Buskin. Gordon Wilson will have the chief comedy role as the “pen ny-pinching” father of three mar rigeable daughters. Walter Mal colm takes the part of Kempy, the plumber’s assistant with ambitions to be an architect, who marries the heroine, Jane BoDine, and at the same time falls in love with his sis ter-in-law Ruth, played by Betty Kerr. Barney McPhillips will be the real estate salesman who has mar ried the oldest of the three sisters, played by Helga McGrew. Helen Park will take the part of the moth er of the group of sisters, and Clif ford Zehrimg will be the former suitor to the hand of the heroine, who, in the final “clinch,” has her restored to his arms. James Leake Manager Following in the steps of former Mask and Buskin successes, “Kempy” will be given at the Heilig theatre but one performance, the evening of February 26. Last year the A. A. Milne play, “The Dover Road” was presented with great success before a large campus audience, and this year’s perform ance is therefore expected to draw an unusually large attendance. The business management of the play will be handled by James Leake. F. S. DUNN TO ADDRESS LATIN CLUB AT SALEM Professor Frederick S. Dunn, I head of the Latin department, left i for Salem yesterday, to address the | Latin club of the Salem high school. 1 Professor Dunn’s lecture, which I will be illustrated, will be on the subject of “Julius Caesar and His i Monuments.” i' The lecture will uescribe the 'monuments and structured of Jul ! ius Caesar, some of which were' not I finished before his assassination. Most of these were completed by his successor, Augustus Caesar. Illus trations will show where the monu ! ments stood, and how the ruins look I today. Some of the buildings to be shown will be the Senate House, after wards used as a church; the the atre, which is still standing and is now known as the theatre of Mar eellus; the town haU; and the ros trum from which speeches were dc ; livered, situated in the Forum.

Pot and Quill elects the fol lowing to membership: Mrs. Alice Henson Ernst Mrs. Kathleen Clark Mary Jo Shelley Margaret Clarke / <3>-«> ART OF PRINTING TO BE DISCUSSED John Henry Nash Will Be Speaker At Newspaper Conference Next Month DATES ARE MARCH 13-14 Topics Will Include All Phases of Subject of Commercial Printing The are and business of print ing in its various phases, commer cial and manufacturing, historical Land qualitative, will be one of the (leading subjects on the program for the seventh annual Oregon news ! paper conference to be held at the | school of journalism on March 13 and 14. Other leading* topics will be in the fields of advertising, edi torial problems, and circulation. John Henry Nash of San Fran cisco, who is declared by Dean Eric W. Allen of the school of jour nalism, to be one of the three or four most successful quality print ers in the United States, has been obtained by the program committee to lead o£f on the subject of qual ity and start the discussion of the market for the highest grade of work. “Mr. Nash has more interesting things to say about printing than any other man I ever met,!” says Dean Allen. “By his fellow print ers of California he is regarded as absolutely in a class by himself. He is, so far as I know, the only printer who has ever been granted an honorary degree for the perfec tion and effectiveness of his work. Mr. Nash was recently honored in this way by Mills college. Work Done Alone “Mr. Nash’s shop_ is a little one man affair. Here he works with his own hands without any large supporting organization, yet he has made his name known throughout the world wherever experts discuss the work of great printers, Guten berg, Jenson, Aldus, Elzevir, Cax ton and John of Spires. “Mr. Nash has a vault in his shop and in this he has collected a ‘printer’s working library,’ as he calls it, consisting of copies of fa mous books, examples of the finest printing the world contains, and books about the technique and his itory of printing. He often pays ' $800 to $1,500 for a single volume, for such books are rare ,and are 'eagerly competed for by collectors. Studies in Europe ' “On occasional trips to Europe, Mr. Nash spends his time among the high-grade printshops of Ant werp, Leipzig, Paris and Venice and (Continued on page four) AQUATIC TEAM TO MEET WINGED M FEBRUHRY 21 With the return of Norman Burk, star swimmer to the lineup, Oro ■ gon’s tank team will be at full l strength for its meet with the Mult nomah club on February 21. Burk; has been confined to the infirmary j but has completely recovered from his illness. Oregon’s team is stengthened with Burk in the lineup. Without the sprint star the varsity was able only to tic the clubmen. Oregon will have better chances in the home tank. Rudolph Fahl, coach of the swim ming team, is attempting to line up meets with Washington, California and Stanford and should he secure any more meets, the varsity will have its best schedule in years. In previous years Oregon has been limited to a pair of meets with the Aggies. STUDENTS ABE OFFERED LOW BATES FOB TOUB McGill University.—A tour of Europe at the flat rate of $330 is being offered to students at Mc Gill university. This includes Btop-overg at all important cities and ten university centers. Ground Hog Sees Shadow is Claim Of S. A. E. Mascot “Six more weeks of winter,” said the S. A. E. dog talking to his friend of the Kappa Sigma house. “How come, Noble old top?” “Well, I was watching for the ground-hog yesterday and-” “I intended to do that too, but I was ou| late the night before and didn’t wake up until late in the afternoon. He saw his shad ow, did he?” “Nothing else but, Caesar. And you know what that means, don’t you?” “Do yon think I have lived twenty years for nothing? That old ground-hog idea is just like the traditions here at Oregon.” “How’s that?” “Never known ’em to fail.” SIXTY-EIGHT STUDENTS NEGLECT TO PUT FEES Penalty for Late Payment Will Be Enforced Sixty-eight students failed to pay their fees by noon Saturday and as a result must pay an additional three dollars, plus 25 cents for each extra day of delay nfter Monday. Since several of those included in these figures have withdrawn from school without filing cards, and others are. intending to withdraw, the total will probably be smaller. At the present time it shows a marked decrease over the total for last term. The extension of the fee-paying period this term to 10 days, proved very effective, according to em ployees of the business office. The last day rush was cut down from 000 last term to a little over 200 this term. Another improvement has been in the matter of “N. S. F.” checks. Tho evil has practically- disap peared, it is reported, four or five being the maximum received so far. Compared with last term's record, when over $1,000 worth of checks not covered by sufficient funds were received, the change is a bright one, according to those in charge of fee collecting. On the whole, they state, the stu dents were responsive to their re duest for early action. Those who did not pay on time are urged to do so at once. They will be allowed until the end of the week to set tle accounts, after which period they will be suspended automati cally. Notices are now being mailed to those who were delinquent in paying. RADIO LECTURER WILL DISCUSS GIRLS’ CLUBS A radio program broadcasted by KGW, the Oregonian’s station in Portland, will be heard on the cam nus tonight at 8 o’clock in room 121, Woman’s building.
