TO VIE SATURDAY
Track Meet Is Scheduled to
Begin at 2:30 O’clock;
Teams Being Selected
* FRESHMEN WILL TRYOUT
Distances Lengthened In
Last C ompetitive Fray;
Result of Events Given
Fast, hard fought races, some
good distances and heights in the
last competition meet of Bill Hay
ward’s training schedule gave an
indication of the probable strength
of Oregon’s track team for this
year. From it the prospects appear
good.
For the first time the new 220
yard straight away was used. It
will be in constant use by track
men from now on so that the aspir
ants will get out of the habit of
making the turn. It is packing
down like the rest of the oval
and will be in good shape for the
big interclass meet next Saturday.
Teams Dined Up
Bill has scheduled his interclass
meet for Saturday afternoon at 2:30
o’clock and he is lining up the
teams which are to compete for the
classes in the windup meet of the
season.
There will be try-outs for the
freshmen, to determine the men who
will enter the interclass meet, this
afternoon at 4 o’clock. Elimina
tion will be held in the mile, half
mile, 220-yard dash, shot put, jave
lin and discus. All freshmen who
^ have signed up for these events
should report on Hayward field at
4 o’clock.
Most of the races were length
ened last Saturday for the men who
entered them, in order to give them
more endurance. Speed' will be
stressed from now on as well as en
durance.

Campus Writers
Will Have Chance
To Meet Editors
*
How would you like to meet
your future employer? The fel
low you’re going to work for next
year, or maybe the next—anyway
after you have graduated from
the University? Plans are now
being made by the faculty mem
bers of the school of journalism
and Sigma Delta Chi whereby this
very thing may be possible for
the campus scribes.
On Thursday afternoon at 5
o ’clock, a general assembly of all
the campus scribes—freshflien,
sophomores, juniors and seniors,
those who work on the Emerald
and those who don’t—will be held
in the assembly room of the
shack. “Kap” Kuhn, presiding,
will then explain to the embryo
journalists how each may form,
a real talking acquaintance with
one or more of the editors, real
up and coming newspaper editors
' who are to hold their annual con
ference at the University on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
of this week. Every student
ought to be there, says “Kap.”
We want them all to attend the
sessions of the conference and
meet their future employers.
PROBLEMS OF Y|UTH
TO BE LECTURE TOPIC
Mrs. Virginia B Demarset
Will Speak in Villard
A special lecture for University
students will be given in Villard
hall Thursday by Mrs. Virginia
Booth-Clibborn Demarest, noted
evangelist now appearing daily in
the armory. “The Glory of Youth,”
is the theme of the lecture. It will
btart promptly at 1 o’ciock.
The campus address is being ar
ranged under the auspices of the
United Christian Work of the Uni
versity with Henry W. Davis, stu
dent pastor, in charge. This will
probably be the only appearance of
the woman evangelist on the cam
pus as her series of revival meetings
in Eugene ends this month. The
talk will not be over an hour in
length and all students should try
to attend the affair, said Mr. Davis.
Mrs. Demarest will have some
thing of vital importance to say to
the young people of the University.
She is a woman of rare refinement
and personality and has drawn
large crowds wherever she has ap
peared, according to Mr. Davis.
Thousands of Eugene townspeople,
business men and students attend
her meetings in the armory daily.
The usual characteristics of a re
vivalist are lacking in Mrs. Demar
est in that she is calm and collected
in her talks. The air of excitement
usually found at a revival meeting
; <t lacking in most of her appear
ances though she fires her audience
with her earnestness and heart to
heart appeals. The address at Vil
Inrd Thursday will not be in the
form of a revival meeting but will
be merely a lecture on religious
problems of youth.
SENIORS TO PAY DIPLOMA

ment. Seniors are admonished tc
not put off payment of this fee to(
long, as it is an essential for gradu

of school is the latest date that fee;
will be accepted.
CONCERT INCLUDES OLD SONGS
AND SEVERAL OPERA NUMBERS
By Emily Houston
The most delightful concert, giv
en last night by Florence Easton,
prima donna soprano, and Elinor
Bemiek Warren, assisting artist,
was composed of excellent num
bers on the program and a ist of
fourteen other numbers from which
the audience selected for encores.
Miss Easton sang nine of the list
for encores at the insistance of the
audience.
Miss Easton can scarcely be
praised too highly for the pleasure
she gives not only by her clear and

exquisitely beautiful voice but fo
her own personality and the inter

songs. Of especial merit also wa

election held yesterday. Beatrice
Peters is vice-president; Virginia
Keeney, undergraduate representa
tive; Nancy Peterson, secretary;
Dorothy Delzqll, treasurer.
The retiring officers are Flor
ence Buck, president; Mary Don
alson, vice-president; Helen An
drews, undergraduate representa
tive; Beatrice Peters, secretary; and
Mary Beth Smith, treasurer.
“No definite plans have been
formed for next year,” said Miss
Florence Magowan, secretary of the
Y. W. C. A. The cabinet will be
chosen at the end of this term, or
soon after vacation, by the elec
; ted officers. Elective officers and
chairmen of the committees on
membership, finance, religious edu
cation, world fellowship, service,
meetings, church co-operation, so
cial, bungalow, publicity, personnel,
and freshman commission, form the
cabinet.
Announcements of the election re
turns were made at the thirty-first
anniversary and eighth annual ban
quet of the Y. W. C. A., held at the
College Side Inn last evening.
Y. W. Friendship Stressed
Florence Buck, toastmistress, in
troduced Mary Donalson, who rep
resented the seniors. Miss Donal
son stressed the importance of the
deep friendships brought about by
Y. W. C. A. associations. She liken
ed seniors to the Evening Star, in
that their college career is coming
i to a close but they will go out in
the world to shine in other places.
Betty Manning represented the un
derclass members of the Y. W. C.
A.
Miss Buck introduced Mrs. Bruce
Giffen as a representative of the
Y. W. C. A. advisory board which
acts as the North or guiding star
of that organization. Mrs. Gif
fen voiced the desire of the board
to be a true guide and help to the
girls.
Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterlv, dean
of women, compared the Northern
Lights to the faculty, asking seve
ral professors why the Northern
Lights were similar to the facility,
she received various answers, Mrs.
Esterly said. One man said the
faculty are similar in that they
shine seldom and are often dull.
The distance between scholars and
the college students impressed
many as similar to the great dis
tance of these lights from the earth.
Mrs. Esterly said she disliked this
separation of the professors and
their pupils and hoped for closer
co-operation.
Spirit of Youth Active
Henrietta Thompson, national Y,
W. C. A. worker, who has been trav
eling over the United States and
particularly the Pacific coast, in
the interests of foreign students
spoke at the banquet. She sug
I gested the idea that the thing tha1
j has kept the Y. W. young and ac
I tive is its spirit of youth. Th<
spirit of adventure is necessary ii
the Y. W. C. A., she said.
The musical program was a pian<
solo, a vocal solo and a trio of pi

JEWISH LEADER WILL HE
SPEAKER AT ASSEMBLY
Rabbi Wise is- Coming to
Campus Tomorrow
“Some Creative Things and Their
Evidences” is ^the topic announced
for the address by Babbi Jonah B.
;Wise, of Portland, for this week’s
assembly. Those who recall the
.Babbi’s former visits promise some
thing more than a lecture by the
head of a religious organization.
One of the characteristics which
has contributed to the popularity
of Babbi Wise as a public speaker
is his ability to tell humorous
stories.
“He is a man of keen wit,” said
Dr. E. S. Conklin of the psychology
department, and then he proceded to
^relate numerous incidents typical;
,'of the Babbi’s quick, and sometimes
surprising repartee. “Everytime I
sgo out with him,” Dr. Conklin con
cluded, laughing, “my wife always
asks when I return what the Kabbi
has said this time.”
The father of Jonah B. Wise was
a rabbi before him and founded the
reform movement in the Jewish
church. He also founded the He
brew Union college at Cincinnati
from which Jonah Wise graduated
as rabbi in 1903.
“He belongs to about 57 differ
ent kinds of organizations,” Dr.
Conklin humorously exclaimed when
[asked concerning the Babbi’s activ
ities in Portland, where he has been
since 1910 as the head of the Be
formed Jewish church. Babbi Wise
has a national reputation as a
civic, charitable and social worker.
He has done a great deal for the
poor Jewish children in Portland.
Babbi Wise is also known for his
editorials and special articles con
tributed to current religious jour
nals.
UNIVERSITY VESPER
SERVICE CANCELLED
The March Vesper service to be
given by the University choir this
coming Sunday was cancelled last
night at a* meeting of the music
committee. This action was taken
because of the conflict it would

that will take place Sunday after
noon and also because of the near
ness of the final examinations.
The next Vesper service will be
held the evening of Good Friday
April 10. At this time the choii
1 will sing the “Seven Last Word:
of Christ,” which is being repeatec

Botany Students
To Try to Define
Lamb-tongue Areas
The distribution in the state of
Oregon of the flower popularly
known as the lamb tongue, is the
subject of an experiment being
worked out by students in the
botany department, under the
direction of Professor A. B.
Sweetser.
It has been found that in vari
ous parts of the state the flower
is a different color. On the coast
it is red, in southern Oregon it
is purple, the Willamette val
ley specimen is cream colored,
and that of eastern Oregon is a
bright yellow.
The purple variety was dis
covered on the Ashland normal
school campus by Louis Hender
son, research worker. He sent
a specimen to the Harvard her
barium, where it received the
name of Frythronium hender
soni.
The students are endeavoring
to find the lines of separation of
the areas in whieh the different
varieties grow, by sending mail
ing cases for specimens to inter
ested parties in the different sec
tions of the state.

OREGON MAN INVENTS
NEW EASEL-PALETTE
An artist’s portable easel and
palette combined has been devised
by an instructor in the department
of allied arts and architecture, V.
O. Hafen. Although he made his
first one several years ago while
making a bicycle tour througl
Prance to Italy, he has constructed
different ones since then, improv
ing and enlarging them.
They resembled the regular la]
boxes used by artists in sketching
landscapes, except for the fact tha'
they can be worn about the necl
by means of a strap fastened to thi
outside of the box in such a wa;
as to balance it. This enables thi
painter to stand up or walk abou
while he works, without fear of th
box slipping or jarring.
There are two boxes, the smalles
of which is nine by eleven inche;
and the largest twelve by sixteen
inches. They can be made lik
walnut or mahogany, and covere
with veneer. At one end they cor
tain from two to six canvases whic
slip into separate grooves, and a
the other end is a compartment fo
brushes and paints.
Tn the bottom of the box betwee
the canvas and the supply compari
ment the paints can be mixed. Th
cover which holds the canvases i
their grooves is on hinges and raise
up on end when opened. Whe
. closed it is clamped into place b
[ hooks, keeping the materials witl
i in neatly intact. The strap ca
; then be slipped over one should*
i and used as a handle for carryir
the box like a camera.
