Scholarship Won
By Edwin Durno
i _
| Edwin Durno, ’12::, physical edu
j cation, ha« been awarded a schol
arship to the Harvard Medical
school for the year 1925-20. Word
, of the award was received by
Mrs. J. P. Durno, his mother,
who lives in Eugene.
Mix scholarships are awarded
annually by the college and this
is the second time Durno has
received the honor of being se
lected one of the group.
While on the campus Durno
was a member of Phi Delta Theta,

RULING ASKS RICHER
SCHOLARSHIP STANDING
Students Must Pass In More
Hours Per Term
A definite step toward raising ttie
scholastic standing of the Univer
sity was taken at the facultv*meet
ing, Wednesday, when the number
of hours in which a student must
pass in order to remain in school
was increased.
The new ruling, adopted on the
motion of the scholarship commit
tee, provides that freshmen must
pass in at least five hours of work,
and other students in seven hours.
The existing plan allows, the stu
dent to remain in school if he passes
in three hours. The change will not
be put into effect before the spring
term.
Dissatisfaction was expressed
with the present system under
which freshmen often take two
hours of military work, and by
passing in this subject and in phys
ical education are allowed to stay
in school. The new ruling, it is
thought, will make it necessary for
the first year students to pass in
at least one other course if they
are to remain in the University.
The adoption of the new plan was
made with the intent of weeding
out those students who are not fit
university material. The natural
effect will also be a noticeable ad
vancement in the University’s
standards.
NATIONAL SECRETARY
OF Y.W.C.A. TO YISI
IT
Elsie Heller, national student Y.
W. C. A. secretary, located in the
northwest field, is to be on the
campus this week end and possibly
the first part of next week, Mis|
Florence Magowan, secretary of the ;
local organization, announced today.
The purpose of Miss Heller’s vis
it is to make arrangements for the
coming State Cabinet Training con
ference, which will be held on the
campus either the latter part of
April or the first of May. She will !
also make arrangements regarding
the visit of Miss Grace Louks, a
national secretary who is located
in the eastern field and will tour
the West later in the spring.
Miss Heller, who is returning by
way of San Francisco from an
executive committee meeting of the
national student council which met
in New York shortly after the
Christmas holidays, hopes to reach
the campus in time to attend some
of the Fred B. Smith lectures. Dur
ing the meeting of the national
church workers who conferred upon
the campus last term, Miss Heller
was present and at that time spoke
at some of the meetings. The exact
duration of Miss Heller-’s stay will
be announced later.

By Oregon Institutions
NINE SCHOOLS INCLUDED
Research in Particular Angle
Of International Question
Asked By Debate Coach
Students interested in forensic
work are urged by Oscar E. Brown,
debate coa'ch, to begin work on ora
tions for the Peace Oratory con
test to be hehl at Pacific univer
sity, Forest Grove on April 3. This
j contest is open to all students, both
| men and women, he states.
It is desirable in choosing and
preparing a subject, to avoid the
i conventional treatment sometimes
I given the material, he said. In the
manner of general directions, the
j orations should develop some defin
ite phase of international peace.
Sentimental' pictures, contrasting
war and peace, or moralizing ef
feeds are not preferred. Some meth
od of a practical value should be
developed.
“Research should be devoted,”
Mr. Brown said, “to some particu
lar angle of world peace, also of
fering a plan or solution for its
achievement. ”
Tryout is Tebruary 24 ,
Orations should be limited to
1,800 words in length. Aspirants
must have them memorized for the
try-outs to be held February 24.
Typewritten copies of their work
must also be presented at this time.
The Peace contest in the state
is being sponsored by the National
Intercollegiate Peace association.
For the oration taking first place
in the contest, a prize of $75 will
be awarded, and for the one plac
ing second, $50.
The winners of the contest have
the opportunity of entering the na
tional contest. The two prize-win
ning topics will be sent to the na
tional headquarters to be judged for
composition and thought value. For
the one winning the national event
an award of $100 will be given.
More Interest Wanted
“The object of this nation wid^
contest.” said Mr. Brown, “is to
promote a greater and more general
interest in the movement for inter
national peace.”
Institutions in this state intend
ing to enter the contest are: Paci
fic college. Albany college. Lin
field college, Oregon State Normal
school. Oregon Agricultural college,
Willamette universitv. Eugene Bi
ble university. Pacific university,
and University of Oregon.
Tn the contest last year, which
was held on the campus, E. D. Con
way, representing the University,
took second place.
OREGON KNIGHTS GIVE
FANCY BALL TONIGHT
Tonight in the Woman’s build
ing, the Oregon chapter of the In
tercollegiate Knights will celebrate
their first annual “Costume
Knight.” They have been consider
ing this particular dance for some
time and as they are offering it as
the first of their original costume
affairs to be given at about this
time each year, they are indeed
anxious that the campus respond to
the occasion by arriving tonight
with some manner of unusual dress.
“A floor full of costumes is -'ll
that is now needed to make t.h»
dance a decided success,” savs John
Boswell, committee chairman. “ Al
though we have not pla ined on go
ing into decorating +oo extensive!’',
the decorations will be anprnpri
ate for the occasion. We also hope
to interest those present \v *h some
unusual features. The Pi-id Pipers
and their music need no introduc
tion. But most of all.” stated
Boswell emphatically, “the spirit
and success of the dance depends
upon the willingness of the stu
dents to come in costume attire.”

RUDD SELLS STORIES
TO NEW YORK PAPERS
Art Rudd, last year’s editor of
flip Emerald, and now n graduate
student at Columbia university, is
putting in his spare time “free
lancing” in New York. “Two Run
dav features, such as T have been
selling to the World,” he writes,
“make as much for me as T used
to get for a whole month’s work.”
“I am meeting a good many in
teresting people,” he continues,
“and learning as much as possible
about places to sell various kinds
of writing.” John Piper, he reports,
is now doing a night shift for the
I Associated Press. Olenn Quiett of
! the Oregon gift campaign organi
; ration and Ernest Haycox are
I among the Oregonians with whom
i Art chats over an occasional sand
| wich.
Rudd never forgets the Round-up.
'hiring his vacation from Columbia
he ran down to Washington and
talked Wild West to President
Poolidgo at the White House, inter
esting him in the great Pendleton
show. And meanwhile he has kept
his grades at Columbia well up to
his Oregon standard—all A’s and
B’s in the term examinations.

USSEMBLY SPEAKER
INTERESTS AUDIENCE
<
Moral culture is ns essential to
success as an intellectual founda- ,
tion or a pleasing and energetic
personality, according to Fred B. !
Smith in his assembly address on I
“Fundamental Education.”
Mr. Smith has the poise and skill
of the experienced speaker and his !
unexpected blunt frankness and
good-natured chuckle are well cal
culated to win the interest of his j
audience.
Tn consoling the slow student, he i
said, “I am always suspicious of
stars—stars of any kind—they
shine during four years at college, !
then their 'ight suddenly goes out.
Tf one of mv children—and T have
plenty of them—should come to me
and tell me he was head of his |
class, I’d be worried.” adding, i
“J’ve never been worried.
“Tt is the eternal perseverance j
that wins,” ho declared in praising!
the student who keeps on although
I he is not n brilliant student and
who gets lonely or discouraged, or
'who “walks on every one else’si
! feet at the dance.” The sort of
student that received the speaker’s,
' denunciation is what lie designates
as a “conceited fool with morals !
that are beginning to break down.” |
i Character, he said, is a culture with
its roots in faith and religion.
“Live on a lofty plane,” was his
closing admonition.
Mr. Smith made his first visit to
; the campus 2." years ago, and since
that time he has returned on the
average of about once in every four
years, so that, each “generation” at
the University has known bim. Tn
recalling these visits, he humorously
observed, “T am not surprised that
there have been so many successful
students going out from this Uni
versity.”

on-Yellow- or the Aggies to win a
coast conference pennant. Which
ever team loses is practically elim
inated as a championship contender.
Oregon will be handicapped in
more than one respect as the var
sity will lie playing on a foreign
floor, and sickness has played a
rather hard part with the team, al
though at present the quintet is
in fair condition.
By comparative scores, O. A. 0.
has the better chance for a vic
tory, as the Aggies have defeated
the Huskies, a feat the varsity was
unable to accomplish.
Lineup Is Arranged
Howard Hobson is back on the
team and is playing up to usual
form which will greatly aid the
varsity in its fight with the Aggies.
Iluss Rowans and Howard Hobson
and Okerherg will np doubt start
at forward and center. Ted Gil
len waters and Swede Westergren
will complete the lineup playing at
guard.
As the result of the Oregon
Washington contest last week-end,
Coach Reinhart has discovered a
good defensive man in Chuck Jost
who will probably break into the
fray Saturday night. Jost, a rangy
guard, may prove valuable in check
ing up the fast breaking Aggie for
wards.
Aggies Have Strong Team
The O. A. C. lineup will probably
include Ridings and Baker as for
wards with Brown, lanky, dangerous
tip-off man, at center. Stoddard
and Steele will play at guard.
The Aggies are trying to develop
a new style of game, playing more
of a percentage game of basket
ball. Under this system, the Beaver
forwards play for the breaks and
then, break with almost unstopnblo
speed. Bob Hager, Beaver coach,
