MEDICAL SCHOOL FUNDS GRANTED Students Permitted Use Of Multnomah Hospital For Observation Work AUDITORIUM IS PLANNED Attitude of Legislature Favors University; All Appropriations Passed Despite a strict economy program adopted by the state legislature in allowing appropriations, the Uni versity was granted the funds re quested without reduction, accord ing to Karl Onthank, executive sec retary of the University, who re turned to Eugene after the close of the legislative sessions, Thurs day night. The appropriations concerned only the medical school, at Port land. That branch of the Univer sity is maintained by appropria tion alone, whereas the rer1. of the school is supported by the millage tax. No requests for funds were issued this year, other than for the medical school. The school itself was allowed $114,161 for two year’s mainten ance. $61,060 was allowed for one year’s maintenance of the Doern becher children’s hospital, on which construction will soon begin. Bids for work have been opened and the contract will be awarded within a few days. The structure will probably be ready for use late next fall. It is being built with money from a fund of $200,000 willed for such purposes. Auditorium is Allowed Two other bills passed allow stu dents at the medical school the use of the Multnofliah county'- hospital for observation and other work re lated to their studies, and permits the Eugene city council and the board of regents to make arrange ments for erecting an auditorium on the campus. The latter provision is meant to remove obstacles which might arise to hinder work when started. Besides these measures, 20 bills which indirectly bore on Univer sity affairs were introduced. The majority of these were withdrawn or failed to pass* while the re mainder were so amended that they cannot have any injurious' effect on the school. Resolutions are Adopted Resolutions were adopted thank ing the Doernbecher and Jackson estates for their gifts to the Uni versity. Another asked Congress to build a veteran’s hospital in Port land on the medical school grounds. Mr. Onthank declared that the attitude of the legislature toward the school was exceptionally fine. Although other appropriations were pared as much as possible, the school was allowed its requests in full. ‘Shower’ Yesterday Brings Useful Gifts For Y. W. Bungalov The shower tea at the T. W. C.

UNCLAIMED ARTICLES WILL GO TO HIGHEST BIDDER, TUESDAY By E. Cady “What am I bid for this fine scarf ? One dollar? Oh, that’s too little for this excellent wearing ap parel. One-fiftv? That’s better. Two? Fine, who’ll make it two fiftv? Two-fifty? Two-seventy five? Anybody going to raise that bid? No? . . . Going for two seventy-five! Going—going—gone, for two-seventy-five!” The voice of one of the campus auctioneers, Randall Jones, James Leake, and Bob Mautz, falls thus upon the ears of the listeners. Scarfs, jewelry, compacts, men’s hats, coats and caps, umbrellas, and every conceivable object under the sun, will be knocked down to the highest bidder, next Tuesday, from 10 to 12, on the library steps. They come from the University lost and found department, being those accumulated up to last November. The auction sale is under the aus pices of the Women’s League. Collect all the coppers, folks, and join the eager throng. Don’t crowd! If you come early enough, you ’ll get enough space to stand on! It’s the first of the month, too, you know, and the mail the day be fore will have been full of “checks from home.” Bring them (along. They may come in handy! Most of the things are in first class condition, and all will un doubtedly be just what someone wants. If you are in need of an umbrella, coat, cap, hat, or any small miscellaneous article, wait until the auction to make your purchase, and you will be wealthier in the end.

The teams to engage in this sec ond contest will be the winners in their separate leagues, and will each have a clear record. The plan is worked out on the order of a spell-down and the consolation (Continued on page four) Women’s Fencing Discontinued Due To Lack of Foils All women’s classes in fencing are to be suspended until suf ficient equipment can be ob tained. To continue classes un der the present regime necessi tating the use of numerous make shifts would do more harm than good to the knowledge already gained, according to Clinton Dav isson, instructor of the sport. “It is indeed unfortunate that our first attempt to introduce fencing to the girls has met with so many obstacles,” he said. Although eighty women signed up for the sport only a scant sixty reported for class work. Before the suspension of this activity, it was estimated that there were fifty girls attending classes regu larly twice a week. These “reg ulars” are highly enthusiastic and declare that the sport is un usually fascinating. There is magic in the very terms of foils, rapiers, etc. The work has consisted mainly in drill in the basic exercises; the girls have learned what is meant by “parry” and “lunge;” they have been told how to per form offensive and defensive movements. The point to be stressed now is practice. DOUGHNUT HANDBALL FINALS DUE MONDAY Sigma Nu and Oregon Club To Play Final Game The doughnut handball final game will be played Monday after noon between the teams from Sig ma Nu and Oregon club. These teams have downed all competitors so far and will vie for the dough nut championship.

Oregon club left Sigma Pi Tau holding the small end of a 21-19 and 21-3 score at the termination of two rounds. The game Monday is expected to be a real clash with honors about even as the comparative scores so far show. Both teams have been handling out decisive drubbings to the opposition. This final game will terminate, doughnut activities for this term but with the opening of the spring term other sports will be put on the program that will call for real team work and individual prowess. Baseball and traek are the out standing sports for next term. AUSTRALIAN SPEAKS TO DISCUSSION GROUP Miss Hayden, an Australian who has been in the United States only one month, Bpoke to the World Fellowship discussion group study ing Australia at the Anchorage yes terday noon. “The national flower of Austral ia is the wattle flower, a yellow blossom which grows on large trees. Oh, yes, of course we have kangaroos, emus and boomerangs! ” At this point Miss Hayden brought out one of the weapons and showed it to her audience. Wool is the greatest source of wealth in Australia, according to Miss Hayden, and is closely fol lowed by wheat, fruit, poultry and grapes. The foremost problem in Aus tralia today, Miss Hayden said, is whether the government shall re strict immigration to English immi grants and keep the country idle, or open the doors to all and put uncultivated lands into immediate use. America’s increased restric tion has caused tHe problem to grow, she said. cylbert McClellan goes TO DENVER CONFERENCE Cylbert McClellan, junior in the school of economics, started Thurs day morning for Denver, Colo., where he will represent the local chapter of Delta Tau Delta at the Western division conference. It is expected that he will return to the campus Sunday evening. PENNANT CHANCES A T STAKE TONIGHT OFFICER COMING Miss Grace Louks Will Be On Campus to Help With Convention Preparations VISITOR TO MEET GROUPS Development of Leadership Object of Discussions To Be Held Next Week Miss Grace Louks, representative of the national student board of the Y. W. C. A., will be on the cam pus March 4, 5 and 6, according to Ellen McClellan, chairman of the World Fellowship discussion groups. Miss Louks plans to hold two discussion groups with students here. Each group is to meet with her one hour every day of her vis it. The first group will consist of about fifty invited girls who will take part in the discussion of cam pus problems. These girls will be chosen for the interest and ability they have shown in past activities on the campus. The second group will be smaller, and made up only of girls who have led discussions this year or may lead next year. Their talks will be based chiefly on technique of leading discussions. Leadership is Desired The discussions, Miss McClellan believes, will be a help in develop ing leadership among the girls, and will be a preparation for coping with problems which will necessar ily arise in connection with the Wo man 's League convention which will be held here during spring term. Having done special research work on discussion groups at Colum bia university, Miss Louks is well equipped to instruct the girls. She had charge, with Harrison Elliot, of all discussion feature work at the Student Volunteer convention at Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1923, which was attended by several stu dents on this campus. Attendance May Be Arranged This is Miss Louks' first trip West. She is visiting many parts, but particularly the Pacific coast. Assisting Miss McClellan in receiv ing and entertaining Miss Louks are Buth Corey, Mazie Bichards and Frances Plimpton. Anyone who has not been invited and is particularly interested is requested to see either Miss Magowan or Ellen McClellan.

Margaret Vincent, chairman for the campus luncheon, announced that a meeting of the members of her committee would be called the first week of the spring term. Pre vious to that time, no definite plans for the luncheon will be made. Clarence Toole, canoe fete chair man, reported that the lighting committee had been selected, and that plans are rapidly being shaped. New bleachers at both ends of the present bleachers will be construc ted to accommodate a larger audi ence, because there have not been sufficient seats for the large crowds which attend the fete each year. The new bleachers will in crease the seating capacity ap proximately 400, The queen for the fete will prob ably be chosen the first of April by popular vote of the class. Fur ther plans for the naming of the queen will be published later. James Scripture, junior prom chairman, named Arthur Gale', of Bandon, as chairman of the decora tions committee. George Mans field, who was originally appointed to take charge of the decorations, is not enrolled in the University this term, so a re-appointment to fill the vacancy was necessary. The prom will be held in the Armory, May 94. The next meeting H the director ate will not be held until the first week of next term. VARSITY-HUSKIES III FINAL CLASH Oregon Must Win Game to Tie Aggies for Pacific Coast Conference Title PLAYERS IN GOOD SHAPE Washington Wants Revenge For Defeat on Gridiron; Victor in Previous Tilt Oregon and Washington, tradi tional rivals, meet in basketball on the Seattle floor tonight in the last scheduled game of the conference for both teams. Oregon must win the game to keep in the running for the Pacific Coast conference title. Washington will fight hard to win in order to make second place. The Huskies will battle hard also be cause they have never forgotten the defeat handed them last fall in football. The odds seem to slightly fjivor the varsity, for Oregon has won more games so far than has Wash ington, and has beaten teams that have defeated the Huskies. Idaho soundly trounced Washington, and Oregon in turn defeated Idaho. Huskies Have Advantage The Huskies will have a distinct advantage in playing on their home floor, and also they will be hopped up because of their victory over the Webfeet earlier in the season at Eugene. The game will easily be the hardest fought contest played this year on any conference floor. In addition to the flood of tele grams that have gone to Coach Reinhart and his team a good sized rooting section will be on hand. Every student who could find a way to go to Seattle left last night, and the old Oregon “Oskies” will ring out in the Huskie gym with the spirit, if not the volume, of the 3,000 Orepon students praying for victory. Team in Good Shape The Oregon team, to judge from stories of the previous games, is in good shape for the contest tonight. Okerberg will start at center, Hob son and Qowans at forwards, and Westergren and Jost at guards. Washington will probably > start Hesketh and Frayne, forwards, An derson, center; and Cobly and Hale at guards. If Oregon wins the contest, a three-game series with O. A. C. will be arranged, probably for next week, to determine the Northern squad that is to meet the southern vinners for the Pacific Coast title. NIGHT WATCHMAN TELLS STORY OF LONG HOURS OF DARKNESS By J. De P. “Wonder what a night watchman thinks about!” The question as mere speculation is not quite so intriguing as when the same query is directed at the nightwatchman himself. J. W. Bradway, nightwatchman for the north end of the campus for 13 years, has thought about a good many things. During the course of his noc turnal vigile he has philosophized, pondered, schemed and dreamed— and has his own explanation of things. “My job isn’t what you would call downright interesting,” said Bradway, speaking with a drawling Uiid-western accent. “During my thirteen years I haven’t run across anything more startling than a couple of quarrelsome cats. It never gets monotonous and I have plenty of time to think about things folks never give a second thought.” “Now take some folks,” he con tinued after lighting bis pipe lei surely, “you know how they always say they hate silence and seem to shun itT Well, I can’t say that I’ve found it so bad—after I found out it was about the only place a man can be really truthful with himself. “It’s funny how I can sort of fashion things in the silence of the night and then take them out and air them when it grows daylight. Then, t.oo, at night there are no shadows or disturbing sounds to oc cupy the mind—everything seems to work in a kind of silent har mony. “I was thinking about this thing of shadows in real life and the shadows of the mind. They are al ways behind us in the morning and the same it is in the morning of life; around about noon, we step all over ’em; and at evening they stretch way out in front of us to remind *us of what’s coming, I guess. I was thinking of that the other night and wondered if that (Continued on page four)
