FACULTY ADOPTS SEASHORE PLAN Entering Freshmen Will Be Given Intelligence Tests To Determine Ability CLASSES TO BE GROUPED Students to Be Sectioned According to Results Obtained From Tests At the meeting of the faculty yes terday, it was decided to approve the report of the committee ap pointed to investigate the Seashore plan, concerning intelligence test ing. Tlie committee reported in favor of giving intelligence tests to all members of the freshman class next Fall. This will not be for the pur pose of excluding students, but for the purpose of ascertaining the general mental ability of the enter ing class. The faculty also approved in general a second reeonntiendation of the committee,—the principle of sectioning large classes on the bas is of intelligence testing. In this case, the tests would be supple mented by the performance of the students. Both recommendations were sub mitted by Dr. Bay Wheeler of the psychology department. The com mittee will continue to make fur ther investigations. Following the meeting of the fac ulty members of the Oregon chap ter of the American Association of University professors voted to send a telegram to Senator William Borah of the senate foreign affairs committee, urging that the commit tee report to the senate the world court plan.

Chivalry Blooms On Campus Still, Evidence Shows The advance March gale that sallied down on the campus yes terday, whipping brilliantly liued slickers mercilessly, proved itself the proverbal ill wind that did blow some good. At 3:14 yesterday afternoon, while chronically belated students strove vainly to hurry against the latest freak of Oregon’s weather, the gale was at its high est. Two co-eds were struggling with books, flying coats, and hats, that slipped periously. Suddenly, a filmy, blue some thing floated past the Pioneer, and on down the path. One of the girls cried, “0, mv handker chief!” as she clutched at her hat. “I’ll get it,” said a young man, who was passing. He pursued the flying object, and returnefl it. with a smile. The girl thanked him, and they went on to their respective classes. “Chivalry isn’t dead here at Oregon,” re marked her companion. FRED SMITH ARRIVES ON TOUR IF COUNTRY “Fundamental Education” Is Assembly Topic Arriving on liis lecture tour from the University of Washington this morning, Fred B. Smith, interna tionally' known for his activities with the Y. W. C. A., will .make his first address on the campus at the regular assembly period in the Woman’s building. His subject will be “Fundamental Education.” Although no longer officially con nected with the American Y. M. C. A., Mr. Smith is best known for the work he has done in that field. For perhaps 15 years he was one of the international secretaries, and be-1 cause of his ability as a public, speaker was very much in demand. He has made at least one trip around the world. During the war, Mr. Smith was very popular at the cantonments. His greatest work in America now is to arouse public interest in law enforcement. When the com mittee of One Thousand was chosen last year to meet in Washington, D. C., in the interest of law enforce ment, Fred B. Smith was made chairman. Two-day Visit Scheduled Besides his assembly address, Mr. j Smith’s program is as follows: 7:15 Thursday night in Villard,I subject, “Is America a Great Na-1 tion?” Friday noon, luncheon with com-1 mittee of hundred at “Y.” 4:15 Friday afternoon, at “Y,”j subject, “The World Outlook—-j Peace or War, Brotherhood or Revo- j lution?” Thursday noon Mr. Smith will (Continued on page three) SMITH PLANNING RIGID TRAINING Oregon’s New Grid Mentor Tells Sports Writers Of Plans for Training WORK STARTS MONDAY Coach Hopes to Develop Kicker and Center for Varsity Football Team Rigid training and strict disci pline will be emphasized in coach ing the 1925 Oregon varsity football team, said Dick Smith, new head coach, at a meeting of the Sport Writers’ association held yesterday noon at the Anchorage. Coach Smith and Virgil Karl were guests at the first of a series of bi-monthly luncheon being held by the asso ciation. While, Coach Smith is not plan- j ning to establish a complete com pliance with all training rules dur strictly enforce careful living for ing the spring turnout, he will the varsity squad in the fall. Ore gon faces a hard schedule next fall and several big contests come early in the season, necessitating an early rounding into condition of the team. Men who fail to keep all training rules next fall will be dropped from the squad, Coach Smith said. When spring turnouts start next Monday afternoon Smith plans to j work with the center candidates j and the kickers especially. Smith ' believes that most of the response j bility for speedy running of plays' rests with the center and expects to put in much of his time in develop ing a capable snapperback. To Develop Punters Oregon lost considerable yardage last season because of weakness in punting, Smith pointed out, and the new mentor will attempt to improve tiiis department of the game for next fall. He expects to work all spring with two or more kickers and to keep them practicing during the summer, if necessary. Smith does not favor any par ticular system of football, but plans to have his team thoroughly drilled in fundamentals. Much of the work this spring will bo drill in the rudi ments of the game and the new coach expects to keep his squad out this spring until satisfied that they are thoroughly versed in the funda mentals. Fifteen lettermen are expected to be back for places on the team but Smith declared that every man turn ing out will have an equal chance, I with him, o*f making the varsity, j When he lines up two teams fori their first scrimmage the old sec-j ond team will be in the places of; the varsity and lettermen will have to work their way into the lineups (Continued on page four) Women’s Aquatics Are Handicapped By Vaccinations Women’s swimming is being seriously handicapped by the re o ('curing seiges of vaccinations. No teams have been announced by any of the houses and the swimming coach has not yet been able to arrange a schedule for the expected meet. Definite plans will be an nounced as soon as the handi cap of vaccination cases can be sufficiently overcome. SPEAKER EMPHASIZES NEED OF EDUCATION Dr. Williams Says World Needs More Knowledge One of the things the world needs today is a better knowledge of sci ence, said Dr.Alexander Williams Jr., secretary of the American Chemical society committee which will award essay contest prizes, speaking to a group of students and faculty at Alumni hall Tuesday evening. “The American Chemical society is the only great chemical society in the world today which is at tempting to do anything along the line of public education,” said Dr. Williams. “First, you have to make people think; the man in the street doesn’t know what the sci entist is trying to do and he cer tainly hasn’t the faintest concep tion what political influence sci ence has on the world. Scientific Importance Given “The whole peace of Europe is bound up in the Ruhr question, which is an economic necessity. Everywhere you look, a lonely man, working in his laboratory, is dis covering something. Theso little things that apparently mean noth ing on the surface are the small muses of effects. “Mr. Francis P. Garvin, of New York, wanted to do something of educational value, and ho donated $10,000 of which $0,000 was in cash awards. East year more than a half million boys and girls wrote essays and fully a half million people read books upon the subjects. The society is not trying to make chemists, but they are trying to give the boys and girls and the man in the street an idea of chemistry and its relation to every basis of human life. The scientist is the only intellli gent man in warfare, according to Dr. Williams. “There is no glitter nr glory to war. You never have to use your brain. It is a business where you get your throat cut by someone you have not quarreled with. Just remember that a war lo come will not be a pretty parlor ! I OREGON KNIGHTS, HOSTS TO 1CAMPUS FRIDAY ! TO DANCE FfllONY Decorations Will Be Plain, In Keeping With Custom During Fifteenth Century CO-OP TO SELL TICKETS Gay and Brilliant Costumes | Decreed Proper Garb for New Traditional Function i ._ — Importing t ho rare old atmos phere of medieval Normandy, tlio j age of brilliant costume and cus tom, into the modern air of tlio Oregon campus is a feat that is being ably accomplished by the Knights of Oregon fof their first annual costume ball to be given Friday night at the Woman’s build ing. The Knights, however, have her alded the proclamation that any !0110 "of in the garb of a student, shall be considered as fittingly robed for this festive occasion; thus one attending the dance will be spared the time and expense of pre paring a fancy costume, should one wish to come in simple attire. “This dance,” said John Boswell, chairman of the affair, “will be one of the outstanding events on the University social calendar.” The music, features, and enter tainment will set a criterion for fu ture functions, many students have declared when the plans of the dance were disclosed to them. The Pi-id Pipers will furnish the music for this dance which alone is an attraction that should merit the patronage of every campus amusement seeker. Another fea ture which further enhances the value of this ball is that no dance outside of this function will be giv en on this date at the Campa Shoppe, or the College Side Inn. The decorations will not be elab orate but more in keeping with the fifteenth century, period, this era standing more for the designs of a simple nature and calling for the people to come in gay costumes. With many students having bought tickets to the affair, the success of the dance has been par ticularly assured judging by the sale of the tickets. Couples desir ing to purchase “admission cards’' may find them on sale at the Co op. Larry Riddle, in charge of the features and the success of the dance, is rather optimistic over the manner in which the plans for the dance are progressing. It has already been decided by the Oregon Knights to make this ball an annual affair. It is ex pected that this dance will rival the success of other University functions, and that the tradition of this affair will be eagerly up hold by future Knights.
