VARSITY MEETS SWORD SOON Seven Lettermen Will Bear Brunt of Work in Coming Track Meets This Season SOUTHERN TEAM STRONG Elimination of Aspirants Slated This Saturday Good Matches Promised Seven track lettermen are the ones who will bear the brunt of the work in the coming track meet with Stanford, on April 11, at Palo Alto. The rest of the team will be picked from the men turning out and (here are many in that bunch who are going to show up equally as well as the lettermen. Stanford with the strongest track team in the history of track at the Cardinal college is an opposition which the Oregon squad cannot overcome. There will be no likelyhood of Oregon beating them but it will give the Lemon Yellow a taste of good weather which the Stanford tracksters have been enjoying for two months, and a lot of good competition. Lettermen Look Good The lettermen out this season have been showing up better than last season. They have shown good pre-season work. “Chick'” Rosenburg, captain of thje team, is hurling the javelin farther than he ever threw it before. Rosen burg is also competing in the pole vault and the broad jump. The two stick men, Walt Kelsey and Fran cis Cleaver, are doing fine work. Both are veterans and under Bill’s “Rush ’em between the hurdles” they are developing speed. Dick Carruthers, letterman in the quar ter mile last year, is backing up the hurdlers this season. That’s his event and he ought to go good. Jim Kinney, rangy and as fast as ever is clipping his quarter mile time down consistently. By the time the Stanford meet comes of^ he ought to give Miller and Rich ardson, the crack Cardinal quar termilers a good run for it. He is backed up by Paul Agor, letter man in the quarter of last season. Eby, letterman in the high jump, has been handicapped in doing his best by the bad weather. He has been coming close to six feet in workouts. That completes the list of lettermen. How they will stack up against men down south is a matter to be decided by the out come of the meet. Tryouts Next Saturday The rest of the men out will com plete the membership of the squad. The big tryouts next Saturday af ternoon will eliminate a great many of them. There has been a great deal of competition on Hayward field this spring and some sterling races are promised for this week end. Last minute checking up on grades finds that Bill will be un able to use one of his most promis ing sprinters, Harry Holt. The old bugbear of grades seldom fails to hit the track team. Jerry Extra another crack sprinter from the frosh squad of last season has been ill with tonsolitis but will probably be well by the time the team leaves (Continued on page four) ARTHUR RUDD TO JOIN ASSOCIATED EDITORS Arthur S. Rudd, a graduate ef the School of Journalism two years ago, and former editor of the Emer ald, at present enrolled in Colum bia university, New York City, writes Dean Eric W. Allen that he is going to Chicago early in June to join forces with the Associated Editors, distributing newspaper features throughout the Western states.

Large Star Found To Be 250,000,000 Miles in Diameter Omicron Ceti, the second larg est star known, was measured at the Mt. Wilson observatory dur ring the month of March. Its diameter has been found to be 250,000,000 miles. Tho largest star measured is Antares, whose diameter is 400,000,000 miles, which was also measured at the Mt. Wilson observatory. Omicron Ceti is especially in teresting for two reasons, ac cording to Professor E. H. Mc Alister. In the first place, it is one of the most variable stars, —sometimes being as bright as the pole star and at others be ing so dim that it is invisible without the aid of a telescope. It has also a companion—that is, it is a double star. Certain ir regularities were roticed by as tronomers at the Mt. Wilson ob servatory, and these ) features were communicated to the Lick observatory where the double phenomena was discovered. FESTIVAL?™ DATED FOR SATURDAY Pageant Shows Customs of Many Countries The Festival of Nations is to be “educational as well as entertain ing,” said Edna Spenker, general chairman for the world ipageant, which is to be presented Saturday at Guild hall by the Cosmopolitan club The details of each skit have been planned with all attention paid to accuracy of national cus toms. Several of the vocal num bers will not have accompaniments as such is not the custom in the country represented. The admis sion prices are to cover expenses. The costumes especially, are orig inal. While the scenery effects have been borrowed from the drama department, each group is taking personal charge of the properties for the individual skits, in order to further insure accuracy. The backdrop for the Chinese act was painted by Chinese students of the art department. The first number of the program is the Chinese court scene. It is one of the most elaborate presenta tions of the performance. Tapes tries and costumes have been se cured in Portland. Three Chinese girls from Portland are assisting, and have parts in the skit. The scene is staged before the presence of a Chinese prince and his at tendants. Among the entertain ments provided for him, is a sword play. Chinese music will accompany the presentation. E. Chung will give two solos, one, a love song, “Ah He Rang Ta Re Rang,” and the other a boating song. This is to represent Korea. Virchand Rayner, assisted by Dal jit Radharia, will show some Hin du magic. Hindu songs will com plete the skit for India. A Highland fling has been sched uled for Scotland. Spain, under the supervision of Rosaliza Cuevas, will be represented by a Spanish dance, “Sevillona,” a Mexican song, “Jota Aroganesa,” by Car men and Ernest Espinosa. “Hay Que Ver,” a comparison of the Spanish costume of yesterday and today will be given by Hulda Guild. “Au Clair do la Lune,” from the opera of the same name, will be presented by the French students. Pierrette dancing, and a serenade have also been planned. Work is now being completed on costumes for the characters in each act. Lillian Stupp, of the physical education department has super vision of the dance numbers. The drama department, the students and faculty have all assisted in get (Continued on page four) STUDENT IN CHEMISTRY GETS POSITION AT BANDON A. W. Everett, senior in the de partment of chemistry, has left sehool to take a position as teach er of chemistry in the Bandon high school, Bandon, Oregon. Everett expects to return at the close of the term and do such work as he can towards graduation and finish up in summer sehool. OREGON LOSES DOTH DEBATES Washington Negative Wins 2 to 1; Affirmative Takes Seattle Contest 3 to 0 NEW LAWS DESIRED Child Labor Question Traced From Origin in Civil War Days Up to Present Time A 2 to 1 decision for Washing ton here and a 3 to 0 decision for Washington at Seattle are the re sults of the women’s dual debate held last night. Mildred Bateman and Cecil McKercher traveled to Seattle to uphold the negative of the debate. Aline Buster and Frances Cherry, of the University of Oregon, up held the affirmative and Dorothy Thomas George and Adeline Bnr rus, of the University of Washing ton supported the negative of the subject, “Resolved: That the pro posed child labor amendment should be made a part of the federal con stitution.” Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, presided as chair man and M. E. Bollen, McMinn ville; A. W. Hayes, Cottage Grove; and P. E. Christensen, Eugene, act ed as judges. Uniform Law Needed The importance of protection for children was stressed by the speak ers for the affirmative. This pro tection could be properly established only by one uniform law covering the entire situation, they said. Miss Buster traced the growth of the child labor movement from Civil war days, when the advent of the child into work in mines and fac tories made it imperative. The pro posed measure would regulate all labor for persons under eighteen years. “This does not mean the elimina tion of all work for children,” said Miss Buster, “but will regu late work of those of unfit ages in unhealthful conditions, which is a social crime and a political men ace.” Extreme variation of state laws covering this problem makes it de sirable for the power to be placed in the hands of the federal govern ment, the logical body for this purpose, the affirmative main tained. National Importance Stressed “A state is not an independent organization but it is a part of a whole and it is the duty of each state to stand back of legislation that will help the nation at a whole,” said Miss Cherry in discus sing the national importance of the question. The belief of the affirm ative was t’hat Congress should reg ulate the situation on a national scale. Reasons for belief that federal regulation is unnecessary were ad vanced by the negative on the grounds that there is a constant and steady improvement dn the situation in the different sKates, and also that the separate states are meeting their individual prob lem adequately. “Different laws are necessary to meet different local conditions,” said Miss Burrus. “No child labor problem exists that cannot be met by the individual state.” Compulsory school attendance laws, in many states practically prohibit child labor, was the con tention of the negative. Miss George brought up the point (Continued on page four) IGU8 EVANS, ’24, IS CAMPUS QUEST FROM EOS ANGELES Harold "Gus” Evans, a graduate of 1924, visited Eugene for seve ral days coming from Los Angeles where he has worked for a year.
