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

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

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
