VIENNESE PROFESSOR TO LECTURE ON CIZEK ART METHODS TONIGHT Dr. Hanna C. Hollar of Vienna, i who came to the atate recently with the Cizek exhibition of the work of Austrian children in creative art forma, will lecture on the the ory and practice of the Cizek type of inatruction tonight at 8. p. m. in the fine arta auditorium on the campua. An exhibition of the children’s work in painting, draw ing, modeling, embroidery, and carving, will be on display in the auditorium from 4 to 8 p. m. The exhibition and lecture are free to faculty, students, and townspeople. Dr. Hollar came to the atate to explain the instructional method of Professor Cizek in the State School of Arts and Crafts, Vienna. Profes sor Cizek's method has produced results, according to Professor Maude I. Kerns of the University School of Architecture and Allied Arts, which have aroused great in terest and enthusiasm ever since the work of his students was shown in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York more than a year ago. Dr. Hollar, who is an art critic and archeologist, explained the method in the Portland art mu seum. Thousands of children and adults visited the museum. The visiting art critic, who has toured England and America with the exhbition, comes to the campus at the invitation of the University School of Architecture and Allied Arts, His lecture is expected to be of particular interest to students of art. There is little formal instruction in the Cizek school. Children have made all the charming water-colors and pencil drawings in the exhibi tion, the quaint figures of baked clay, the curious carvings, as part of their play life. The art works are simply bits of a child’s life that have appealed to his or her imagination. The children come to the school of their own free will because of the joy of creating the art forms. There is no commercial or voca tional end in view in the school. The children paint, draw, model, and carve because they desire to express themselves, and they are helped as they work by a few sug gestions from Professor Cizek. Professor Cizek is a famous art teacher whose pupils are for the most part not children, but young men and women. By special ar rangement the doors of the State School of Arts and Crafts are open to children on Saturdays and Sun days, materials are furnished, and ! the children may work as they 1 will, helped by a word dropped here and there from Professor Cizek as > he walks among them. CINDER ARTISTS TRAIN FDR MEET ■*._ ... - ...M. Oregon Will Compete With Stanford Tracksters At Palo Alto on April 11 TRYOUTS ARE SATURDAY Men Work During Spring Vacation; ‘Tiny’ Johnson, Rosenberg Show Up Well Oregon’s track team weathered the scandal sheet without a man rendered ineligible. That was the biggest triumph of the past week and now the team is settling down for intensive work before the Stan ford university meet on April 11 at Palo Alto, which is the first test of the season. Next Saturday af ternoon the elimination tryouts for the meet will be held. The entire varsity squad will be put through the final mill to choose the six teen-man team to make the trip. There is competition—intense competition out on Hayward field this year and some of that will be shown in the events to be run off Saturday. A fighting crew of men must be picked from the mob, and the only way it can be done is by putting the aspirants through their paces hard. Bill Hayward was pleased with the work this last spring vacation. Thirty varsity men stayed over and trained consistently two times a day for the entire vacation with the exception of the one day off and two days where only afternoon workouts were held. Every day the aspirants reported at 10 o’clock in the morning and 3 o ’clock in the afternoon for the grind. The work outs were hard and they are going to be harder from now on, accord ing to the coach. Warm Weather Awaited The team is rapidly getting into condition. Sore legs are prevalent, but the handicap of bad weather is the cause of that. The team is waiting for warm weather to get rid of those sore -legs. As soon as it comes the conditioning of the men will be rounded out. Every man out for the team is showing up better and gives promise of sur passing anything he has previously done. The team promises to be the best all-around group Oregon has had for some time. Bill will probably take men in each event for the southern meet. Several things this term have bolstered up the hopes for the sea son. Lowell (“Tiny”) Johnson, husky frosh discus man of last year, came out at the end of the winter term and reported “for work. “Tiny” will be about the best man Oregon has in the platter throw. He has improved this season and is waiting for conditioning until he does his best. Bosenburg Hurls Javelin Last week in regular workouts “Chick” Eosenburg, captain of Ore gon's track squad, heaved the jave lin 182 feet. A throw like that is going to count for many points on the coast this year. In the big Stanford-U. S. C. track meet last Saturday the best done was 177 feet 6 inches. Eosenburg has shown steady improvement over his last year’s work. Proctor Flanagan in the broad jump leaped 22 feet, 8 inches. That is approaching the coast record very close. Flanagan, besides be ing a broad jumper is a sprinter. A jump as much #over 22 feet as he can do is good for points on the coast any time. Those are some of the things which happened during spring va cation. The rest of the men out have been working hard and what kind of improvement they have made will show in the meet Satur i day. Grim Death Stalks Prey in Library; Student is Victim .*.****" - Suspect Held; Mool Court to Try Case William Dills, prominent and well-known figure on the, campus was tragically killed, either by his own hands or by someone else at the entrance to the library last night at about 7:45. Witnesses declare that immedi ately preceeding the fatal act the lights went out, two shots were fired, someone cried out hoarsely, “He shot him, catch him!” An other voice, far weaker and un I doubtedly the voice of the unfor tunate victim whispered in a choed, gurgling tone, “My God! I’m shot!”—the lights went on, and Dills was found on the li brary steps breathing his last with two bullet holes in him and blood running from his mouth. By his side was found a 48 cali ber Colt automatic. It is not known yet whether the act was suicide or murder. Several theories have been ad vanced by his associates however. Those who think it might be a ; case of suicide declare that he was afraid of the Phi Beta Kap pas, that they were on his trail continually and f almost had him a few days ago and that “rather than fall into their hands he would kill himself first.” It is I also said that he w£s pursued a great deal by the fairer sex and that one woman in particular .iust about had succeeded in get ting him. Still another explana tion offered is that he was given to spells of melancholia because he had been taken for a journal ism major. One suspect has been arrested and is a,t present awaiting moot court trial at the county court house. Jean DuPaul and Marion Dickey are following the case closely and hope to get a clue soon—they both support the idea that there is a woman in the case? GUILD HULL PLAYERS TO PRESENT COMEDY The cast for “Miss Lulu Bett,” the first play by the Guild Hall Players this term was announced yesterday. Helen.

THIRTY GRIDSTERS OUT FI SPRING PRACTICE Head Work and Team Work Stressed By Smith About thirty men answered Dick Smith’s call for the resumption of Spring football practice yesterday afternoon. This marks the second round of the preliminary training as the squad worked out some in the fundamentals last winter quar ter. From now on the practice will be more concentrated and funda mentals and teamwork will be stressed in daily workouts, cover ing the next three weeks of sched uled work. The workout last night consisted in some limbering up, kicking and passing. Then the squad was tak en in and treated to a little skull practice where plays were ex plained and worked out on the chalkboard. It is intended that the Oregon team next year should not only play football but should know and think football as well. As in nearly every form of ath letics the players must thoroughly master the fundamentals before much team pl^y can result. The squad is to be divided up into teams so as to make them as even and balanced as possible. This will thoroughly test the individual, ability of each man and keep all of the candidates working. Scrim mage will start either the last of this week or the first of next. Beal intensive training will be the order of the day from then on. Coach Smith has s6 much ground that he desires to cover in his preliminary training, and he will try and get the practice over before the base ball season Opens as a number of the football squad are also out for baseball. The material that is out now looks to be about the most promis ing that has turned out for Spring practice at Oregon for several years. It begins to look as if foot ball were on the upgrade for sure.

By Fairy Davis “Dr. Huestis, it is reported that there is a snake in Deady that gets out and roams about the building!” “Yes; want to see it!” “Can it get outf” “Not now.” We went down the corridor on the second floor of Deady—the girl reporter and the zoologist—and opened a door. Dr. R. R. Huestis, the instructor, walked over to a large glass jar with a screen top held down by a big rock. “How many are there!”, was fearfully asked, while looking around at the walls and furniture to see whether it was draped about something. “Only one,” Dr. Huestis answer ed. “There were two, but they were cruelly separated by death.”-With in the glass jar was about three feet of coiled, dark henna and white striped snake. Dr. Huestis removed the rock. “Don’t let him out!” the repor ter shouted. He removed the screen, while she was all set to sprint. He reached down into the jar and took the snake gently by the neck and held it up. “It*8 a King snake; they kill rattlers, you know, but are one of the gentlest and kindest of snakes,” he said. “I had it shipped up from California last winter in a box with several mice. It didn’t eat the mice, either,” he declared proudly. From pure altruism, the reporter supposed, but he added, “there wai a wall between them.” “He escapes at times because he is pining for the warm hill sides of California, He escaped last winter and was gone six weeks. We knew he was hiding in D^ady be cause there were no mice about. One day a girl saw him and re turned him. She has been recom mended for a Carnegie medal, I believe. The snake was so glad to get back that you could almost hear him purr—almost. “Last week a laboratory assist ant met him coming down the hall. She had just received her grades and thought she was seeing things, but the janitor assured her that it was a real snake. They captured him and brought him back. “He hasn’t eaten anything this winter, but is looking forward to a good breakfast pretty soon.”
