At present thirteen or ganizations have signified their in tention of entering teams in the league. The final date for entering teams in the tournament has been set for April 17, and at that time a sched ule will be drawn up. The actual playing will not start until April 28, thus giving the team members ample time for practice sessions. Games to Be Doubles The tournament will be on the straight elimination basis with the team winning tho first two out of three sets acclaimed as victors. Each organization is expected to enter a two-man team and all games will be doubles. So far arrangements have not been made with the tennis court manager but it is expected that by the time the tournament starts that a court will be reserved each day at 5 o’clock. The physical educa tion department will furnish free tickets for the scheduled games only. Players Work Out Previous practice will not be compulsory but a team without training will stand a slight chance of winning the tennis title as seve ral prospective players have been working out every available chance, according to members of the physi cal education department, who are in charge. The organizations entering teams are: Phi Delta Theta, Friendly hall, Delta Tau Delta, Chi Psi, Sig ma Pi Tau, Alpha Beta Chi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Oregon club, Bach elordon, Phi Kappa Psi, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Gamma Delta and Kappa Sigma.

STUDENT REGISTRATION 327 MODE THIS YEAR An increase of 327 in University registration to date, including stu dents at the Portland medical school, over enrollment last year, is indicated in figures issued by Carl ton E. Spencer, registrar. The greatest increase is on the Eugene campus whore 2754 students are now registered. This is an in crease of dll over the total for the whole of last year. Medical school enrollment is now 209. This is an increase of 16 over last year’s fig ures of 19.'!. Included in tho campus registra tion are 49 new students who en tered at the beginning of the pres ent term. The men on the campus j outnumber the women 1481 to i 1273. The total enrollment for the Uni-1 versity including the Eugene school i and the medical school, but exelud-1 ing extension work is 29#3. The increase marks the steady growth in 1 University enrollment that has been evident for a number of years, the : percentage increasing annually. Medical school figures remain practically stationary because the technicality of tho work necessitates the limitation of the number of students in attendance. UNIVERSITY CATALOGUE WILL BE DISTRIBUTED Tin' University catalogue for 1925 to 1&26 is just off the press. Be 1 tween 6500 ami T000 copies of the catalogue have UVcn issued J^nd ; there is already a waiting list of about 1900. This includes the Uni-, versify exchanges and the regular mailing list, which contains the names of various school superinten dents and faculty members in Ore gon. This year’s catalogue is larger! than that issued in 1924 by about 25 pages. The difference in sir.e is partly acccounted for by the fact that correspondence courses are in cluded for the first time, among the •courses described. 1 WOMEN FOR ALL TYPES OF WORK FOUND BY VOCATONAL BUREAU Two Discovered with Knowledge of Naval Engineering Says Miss Florence Jackson “We have never failed yet to find a woman for a particular type of work when we have been asked for one,” said Miss Florence Jack son, director of the Bureau of Vo cational Advice and Appointment in Boston, who is making a two day visit to the campus. “For in stance, during the war we had a call for women who had studied naval engineering and we found two. Again, we learned that there are two women foresters in the United States, one of them living in the state of Washington.” For many positions, however, a college education is superfluous. Po Jsitions in which a great deal of S routine work is included are of fered to those who have had only elementary education. The only [positions open to women with col lege educations in previous years were those of teachers, Miss Jack son said, but now there are many places in professional and business life that are suitable for women. The bureau does not place women for academic positions, as there are many agencies for that purpose. However, deans of women and similar positions are sometimes filled through the bureau. The Bureau of Vocational In formation in ' New York City has published a book which contains general and specific information as to women in industries. This book, “Training for the Professions anpl Allied Occupations,” has a place on Dean Esterly’s desk. The Boston bureau was establish ed in 1877 and re-organized into an appointment bureau in 1910. Other organizations holding membership in the National Committee of Bur eaus of Occupations are established in nine cities in the United States, the nearest to Oregon being in Los Angeles and Pasadena. The aim of the committee is “To promote among women a better un derstanding of occupational and professional requirements, to ad vance their interests and their ef ficiency in vocations, to secure suitable employment for trained wo men workers—to the end that wo men may render increasingly val uable service in all vocations and professions.” Miss Jackson pointed out the last words as being parti cularly important. “We have to be a sort of en cyclopedia of women;” she said hu morously. “We are especially inter ested in the ‘college product.’ ” she continued.

SENT EAST BY I MAIL _ Jack McGuire’s Production Entered in Contest Manuscript of the oration on the constitution by Jack McGuire, who won the University contest last week as a result of the decision of the forensic coaches, has been sent | by aeroplane mail to the headquar | ters of the national intercollegiate j peace oratorical association at Washington, D. C. McGuire’s ora tion will be judged from the man uscript alone along with copies of other orations from colleges of this region. The winner of this region will meet the winners of six other districts in an actual speaking contest, to be held at Los Angeles, California on June 5. Jack McGuire, who is from Long Beach, California, is r. freshman in pre-law. He has had much experi ence in high school forensics as well as placing second to Benoit McCros key in the tryouts for the peace contest held in February. While at Long Beach high school, Mc Guire debated three years on the high school team and won the state .oratorical championship for high school students. In the high school oratorical con gest held last year, he won the dis trict championship but was ruled out because of an age ruling which made him ineligible. Prizes in this national collegiate oratorical contest total $5,000. First prize is $2,000; 2nd, $1,000; 3rd, $500; 4th, $450; 5th, $400; 6th, $350; and 7th, $300. Every regional winner gets a prize at the final at Los Angeles, on June 5. Speeches are of ten minutes in length. McGuire’s sub ject is on the constitution alone. Expense is saved by judging the district winners on manuscript alone and then holding only the one cliampion-shpi contest. The purpose of the contest is to increase interest in and respect for the constitution as a means towards better and more intelligent citizen ship. The contest is sponsored by the Better America Association of California. Prizes are being fur nished by two Hew England women who are interested in public speak ing. Kap Kuhn Relates Many Experiences Encountered While on European Tour (Continued from page one) in operation, and inside the city jare the old towers, the original palace, a cathedral and the Roman fort.” “What town impressed you most for its beauty?” I queried. “Oh, Paris first, and then Fon tainebleau.” Kap exclaimed. “One can’t imagine the beauty of the latter unless one has been there. ^We came down upon it from the hills one morning, and there it lay with its quaint surroundings and the forest of Fontainebleau and the quiet lake stretching on beyond. “The castle used to be the sum mer home of the French kings, you know, and is now carefully pre served for tourists to see. One wing of it (it is an immense build ing) is occupied by the Fine Arts PATRONIZE EMERALD ADVERTISERS University of Fontainebleau, .where music and painting is taught. Eight outside the door of the workshop is the beautiful lake of Fontaine bleau. “The chateau itself, is magnific ent beyond description. We saw Na poleon’s throne room and apart ments, as well as those of Louis XVI. Each king had his own apartment built on when he came to the throne, and each one tried to do the one before him one bet ter. They are all very ornate, solid gold chandileers, finely tap estried furniture and elaborate wall pnd ceiling decoration. Bjy the way, we saw Napoleon’s campaign boots and hat there.” “Did you see anything of Pro fessor Schroff while you were at Fontainebleau?” I asked. “Sure thing. I came upon him while he was doing fresco work on : one of the walls, and he was as1 surprised as I was glad to see him. i He was studying under M. La Mon tagne Hubert, a world famous fres co teacher.” The trip not only took in the majority of France but Germany, Switzerland, Bohemia, Belgium and England, visiting all the points of interest along the way, according to Kap. When asked if they made the trip by rail and water, he re plied that the entire journey, 1608 miles in all, with the exception of the ocean voyage, was made bv bi cycle. When they crossed I the Jlura mountains into Switzerland the mountains were covered with snow and ice, and when they came out through the south again to France visiting Marseilles and Monte Car Scalp and Hair Ailments Treated The most dangerous and destructive menace t o beautiful liair is a diseas ed scalp. All hair ail ments are a result of a scalp disease. We employ methods that positively eliminate and destroy scalp troubles. “Our Methods Succeed” Rose La Vogue Phone 1592 j largest setting quality pencil 'in. the world :opymg Buy a dozen Superlative in quality, the world-famous Y ENUS PENCILS give best service and longest wear. d Plain ends, per dot. $1.00 Rubber ends, per dot. 1.20 cAt all dealers American Lead Pencil Co. 220 Fifth Avc., N.

You’ll find that th’e girls agree that our dishes are success ful rivals of the strains of “Home Sweet Home.’ Always try to please your girl, is a good motto—and, men, we’ve given you a wallop of a tip! The Rainbow lo they followed along the shores pf the Mediterranean, where the water of the ocean was as blue as jthat of Crater lake and there were a profusion of bright flowers and birds. In regard to Monte Carlo, every crowned head in Europe seems to have his chateau there so that the town is a regular hodge-podge as far as architecture is concerned, says Kap. But the situation of the town with the high Alps in the background and the blue ocean in front adds to the quaint charm of the place. In Bohemia almost every home is musical, Kap stated, and the peas ants are very picturesque in their dress. Leipzig, Dresden, Frankfurt and the Prague were some of the cities visited in Germany and Bo hemia. In the Prague it is con sidered fashionable to drink cof fee, according to Kap, who says that at five o’clock the whole pop ulace meets in the coffee-houses to chat over a cup of coffee. There is one coffee-house named after Thomas Edison in that city, and his signature can still be seen on {the wall. When I asked Kap if he had any difficulty with money (getting ac customed to the exchange* I meant) he said: “Well, it was rather amusing to pay 900 million marks for a Sat urday Evening Post and 300 mil lion for a glass of beer, but it was worth it in both cases. However, as far as expenses were concerned, things were much cheaper, of course. Our bicycles for the whole trip only cost us $2.50, and clothing is very cheap.” Kap made the trip with three friends of his, one a student at Northwestern university and the other two from Harveford college, Philadelphia. The trip altogether took four months. LEARN TO DANCE at CINDERELLA DANCE STUDIO Private Lessons Daily, 1-9 p. m. 667 Wil.
