VOLUME XXVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY. APRIL 17, 1925 NUMBER 111 ^=Convention Sideli Oregon Hello Surprises Eastern Girls; Arizonian Sees Her First Galoshes This convention embraces more territory than any conference ever before held on the Oregon campus. • • • Several of the eastern delegates came out to Oregon expecting to be met by Indians, and housed in cured “shacks,” with covered wa gons going down the streets and cowboys and Indians chasing each other around the campus. It is too bad we haven’t more “atmosphere” to furnish the guests. We notice that one delegate wrote in her con vention diary—“All of the houses are new—some of them nicer than those on most campuses, and plan ned perfectly for fraternity pur poses.” * * » Anna Dean Mote, the delegate from Arizona is particularly inter ested in the Oregon galoshes. “I never have seen galoshes before,” she said, adding that she had never even worn a pair of rubbers. The girls in the house - where she !is staying say that at first she thought this rainy weather attire of the Oregon girls a special kind of costume, donned in honor of the convention. » * * Maryann Strohn, one of the dele gates who represents Mills college, debated against the Oxford men in their recent western trip. •Although this is a woman’s con ference, the men seem to have quite a large part in it. When the delegates go down Thirteenth street, onp almost thinks it is a dress parade from the interested Sigma Chis that throng their porch. One girl from Northwestern was rather offended and very surprised when five men said hello to her as she walked up the street yes terday. A delegate from Missouri who is staying at the Alpha Chi house, said that she liked our “Hello” tradition, because she could say “Hello” to all the good-looking men. 4 * # * Oh, yes, the formal Friday night is attracting a lot of notice, both among the men and the girls. One guest passed a man sitting on the nicotine bench. “Oh, I wonder if he’ll be my man for the formal,” she whispered. Paul Krausse is trying to get the drop on the rest of the men. He was at the Stunt Night perform ance, looking the girls over, get ting first-hand dope. » # » When Cliff Powers was asked to the formal he wanted to know the name of the delegate from Colo rado who registered at 10 minutes to 9. • * • Chuck Jost says he knows he’s going to get the black one from Alabama for the dance. Fencing Equipment Arrives; Women’s Classes Reopened Equipment for the women’s fencing classes has arrived, ac cording to Clinton Davidson, in structor, and the classes will be gin next Monday after a delay of about three months during the time the order was sent to France to be filled. At the beginning of the classes the material on hand did not suf fice for the number of girls who signed for the course, but now with the new and complete equip ment Davidson expects the work to be more interesting and bene ficial. The equipment consists of foils, gloves, chest protectors and face masks. “I feel certain that those wo men who will make good fencers will be back, while those who were taking fencing merely to find out what it was, will stay away,” said Davidson. “If this is the case, it is fortunate that our classes were interrupted, for the department wants only those who are actually interested.” The old schedule of classes will be used until a new one is ar ranged. ‘CRIMSON EYEBROWS’ MAKES APPEARANCE Chinese Opera to Be Given First Time Tonight “Crimson Eyebrows,” a Chinese operetta, will be presented tonight and tomorrow night by the glee club of the University high school in the school of music auditorium under the direction of Mrs. Anna Landsbury Beck, assisted by Frank Jue. Beautiful Chinese costumes re cently brought from the Orient, and some which are very old will be worn by various members of the east and Mrs. Beck. Fanchong, the leading man, played by Frank liln Hall, will- wear a costume be onging to Frank Jue. An exquis ite gold and black embroideried mandarin coat, brought form China by Mr. Ware will be worn by Dean Scott, who takes the part of Wang Mang. Mrs. Beck will wear a colorful Chinese costume, which is the property of Frank Jue’s moth er. She has also loaned Mrs. Beck an ivory and gold fan.

The stage will represent a gay Chinese garden and will be strung with varied colored lanterns and typical Chinese glass, jingles will hang from the doors of the summer houses. Mrs. Winnie McK'night js the stage supervisor and is be ing assisted by Henry Sheldon. Tickets for “Crimson Eyebrows” may be purchased from any mem ber of the cast or may be had in Mrs. Beck’s office of the school of music where they may also be exchanged for reserved seats. UTAH DEAN OF WOMEN PRAISES OREGON CAMPUS AND SCENERY “This campus reminds me more of the college campuses of the New England states than any other in the West that I have seen,” said Mrs. Lucy Van Cott, dean of wo men at the Utah Agricultural col lege, visiting here with the W. S. G. A. convention. “Perhaps it is because Oregon is one of the old est universities in the West, yet, the very atmosphere of the place —it is old, and it is very substan tial. “I have visited the most won derful club houses in the United States; I have been a guest several times at the North Shore Country club, where members are Chicago millionaires; and I have seen cas tles in Europe; but not in one of them did I see a room so beautiful as the drawing room in the Wo man’s building. You have here some wonderful things. I have never seen so exquisite a paisley shawl as that shown in the Wo men’s League room of the Wo man’s building, nor such a rare collection of Indian baskets. “Oregon is one of the most beau tiful regions of the world, con tinued Dean Van Cott. “We drove down from Portland by auto, and just outside of the suburbs of Sa lem I saw some of the most beau tiful tulip beds,—as beautiful as those noted tulip beds of Holland. When we entered Portland from Vancouver, Washington, last Sun day, a most gorgeous day, I saw one of the rarest sights—Mt. Hood, St. Helens and Mt. Adams,—all wete visible. We had a ride up the Columbia highway to Multnomah falls, and the highway road is per fect—smooth as glass, and every time you look away a wonderful sight presents itself. “Even the girls here are very beautiful. From my window this morning I watched them as they passed on their way to school, and I did not see one that was not pretty: they looked as if they had the right ideals.” TRACK TRYOUTS ARE COMPLETED Freshmen to Compete With Varsity Cinder Teams Saturday Afternoon FROSH-ROOK MEET MAY 2 Yearling Squad Decreased To 30 Aspirants; Ability Will Be Tested in Trials Tryouts for the freshmen track team to enter the interclass meet next Saturday have been completed with the exception of two events. The tryouts were held three days at the beginning of the week. As yet the strength of the frosh team is undetermined, for they have not had an opportunity to show any thing in competition. The meet Saturday will go a long ways in showing the ability of the yearlings in all events. Their conditioning has been (going for ward as the weather will allow. They appear to be weak as a squacl but after the two weeks training ahead they will round out into a scoring group for the relay meet with the O. A. 0. rooks on May 2. There are some particularly strong men in some of the events who are going to give the varsity some good competition next Saturday. At the beginning o< the season Bill Hay ward had nearly 60 men out, but the squad has decreased until it numbers around 30. Sprinters are Strong The sprints will be taken care of by Prendergrast, Wetzel, Kuy kendall and Allen. This event seems to be fairly strong with a quartet of 'freshmen who have been running neck and neck in the com petition meets. Entered in the 440 will be Coop er, Hicks, Karshner and Padrick. Hard competition will be encoun tered by the babes in this event with the varsity 440 men compet ing. In the half mile, Overstreet, Ross and Leach finished in that or der in the tryouts. The mile has Kelly, Jamison and Anderson. This event is expected to be one of the best ones on the freshman team. The hurdles are well taken care of bv seven. men who will enter the meet. Guttridge, Riggs, Lock-, wood, Barnet, Chandlee, Draper, Prendergast, and Blaser. Shot-putters Doing Well The shot-put has a trio of husky men who have been doing some fine work in the event. Sanderson, Wetzel and Halin are the three best putters. In the discus, Langworthy, Wet zel and Halin have been heaving the platter for some good distances. The high jumpers for the fresh man squad are Barnes and Zim merman although they have been changing form are showing a great deal of improvement and more is expected with the coming of good weather. In the pole vault, one of the events where there has been a dearth of material Brocker and Crowley will enter. The broad jump has one entry in Barnes. The freshmen team is in the for mative stage of the season and what they will be able to do is doubtful in the track meet Satur day. The meet will determine the men who will be entered ' in the frosh-rook relays ani in the future meets. JOURNALISM HEADS TO ATTEND CONFERENCE Dean Eric W. Allen and Profes sor George S. Turnbull, of the school of journalism, will go to Portland today to attend the Paci fic Slope Newspaper conference to be held there today and tomorrow, April 17 and 18. Representatives from Washing ton, Oregon, Idaho and California editorial associations, conferences and institutes are getting together to talk over the plan of an inter state organization of newspapermen and to discuss business matters in relation to the Pacific Slope as sociation. Three Day Drive For Student Union To Be Next Week Exact figures for the Student Union drive quota are being com puted by a special committee, and will probably be reported back to the general committee within a few days. First esti mates have placed the figure around $70,000, of which amount the freshman class will be expect ed to raise between $60,000 and $65,000. All members of the general committee are busy lining up so licitors, dividing up prospects, and grooming themselves for the dropping of the starting flag at the Thursday assembly on April 23, when the drive will go forward with a rush for the three day period ending the following Saturday. STUDENT GOVERNMENT IS ASSEMBLY TOPIC Dr. Aurelia H. Reinhardt .Will Be Speaker “Reaction of Student Gov'ern ment to the Purpose of the Univer sity” is the subject which Dr. Aurelia H. Reinhardt, president of Mills, college, has chosen for her address this morning at the stu dent assembly at 11 o’clock in the Woman’s building. About 150 seats in the center sec tion of the auditorium will be re served for the visiting delegates and members of the Women’s League. Oregon Knights will be in charge of these reservations. 1 The glee clubs will open the pro gram with the singing of Oregon’s “Pledge Song,” and John Stark Evans asks that students take part in the singing.

Delegates from Mills who are at tending the Women’s League con vention on the campus, when ap proached concerning Dr. Reinhardt, protested their inability to give a competent picture of her. “She is wonderful,” they said, “but you have to see her and hear her to know what she is like.” Both agreed that she is a brilliant speaker with a dynamic personal ity. Dean Colin V. Dvment, who heard Dr. Reinhardt speak here at the dedication of the Woman’s building in 1921, says of her, “Dr. Reinhardt is an excellent? woman speaker. ” ADVERTISING MANAGER OF P. I.

Spring Grid Practice Ends; Banquet to Be Given Tonight “Mautz, Bay Bay Bay Mautz!” As these words hurled down upon Hayward field by a horde of spec tators—among which were three Oregon students—the gallant ref eree of the great Dixon-Johnson football game ducked, dodged, twisted, squirmed, bullied, and banged his way to the sroal line, a distance of 70 yards, for a touch down which tied the score at -7 each. This last minute dash was all that saved the day jfor ;thd plucky but overwhelmed Dixons, for just as the third quarter ended, Bed Langworthy nabbed a long forward pass hurled by Anderson, and galloped 40 yards for a score for the Johnson dozen-less-one. Coach Smith Satisfied The hectic contest, fought on Hayward field, ended the spring period of training for the grid as pirants, and as the last, tired play er headed for the gym, Coach Dick Smith heaved a sigh of happiness, and said, “Just like the good old days. Oregon will have a great team next year! ” The practice propw will end to night, when the entire squad— every man who has been out con sistently this term—will banquet at the Osburn hotel at six o’clock. Zippy speeches will feature the gathering, and movies of the great Bockne’s team inunction will liven the party. The game yesterday went off in regular fashion, with two regular teams. Ho team at any one time had less than 11 men, and the to tal on the field occasionally reach ed 30 or 35. Teams Make Equal Gains Each side made yardage once, and each completed a forward pass once. The Johnson team piled up a total of 37 1-4 yards, and the Dix ons made a total of 37 1-2. Each side was penalized ?!0 yards; the Johnsons for holding the referee, and the Dixons for telling him to keep still so the men could hear the signals. Head Linesman Har den called each team offside twice, but was so intimidated by Ander son on one side and Cushman on the other, that he took it all back and offered to apologize. Each team substituted eight times; and punts averaged 1.3.005 yards. (These statistics conform to Coach Smith’s instructions to treat both teams alike in the Emerald. In reality, the Johnsons made 38 yards, and the Dixons’ punts averaged 13.05 yards.) The line-up and summary. Dixon Johnson Flangus .le. Beynolds Warren .It. Marsh Farley . lg... Wilcox Dixon . c.

Hughes Dean Kate Jameson Speaks To Convention Delegates On Methods of Guidance HONOR CODES VARIED Promotion of Scholarship Standards are Discussed By Minnesota Delegate “There is a great waste of time incurred by individuals endeavor ing to find their life work,” de clared Mrs. Kats W. Jameson, Dean of Women at Oregon Agricultural college, in a talk on vocational guidance at the afternoon session. “Only about 12 per cent of every 31,000,000 people between the ages of 21 and 35 enter their life work then. The fault of this is the lack of vocational guidance.” Various methods employed to promote vocational guidance in schools were outlined by Dean Jameson. Faculty advisers, deans of women, vocational conferences, personnel-work offices, and bulle tins, were mentioned as means to that end. The National Society of Social Research was another ave nue of vocational guidance men tioned by the speaker, although this organization is not connected with any school, but is located in large cities and is more of an ex pert along this line. “That such groups of girls as you, are making this subject a part of your conference programs sig nifies that the question of voca tional guidance is a live one,” said Dean Jameson in opening her ad dress. “Not only similar groups but prominent educators are realiz ing the importance of the subject; She contrasted this tendency with the old idea that specialization in colleges was not desirable, but was considered rather degrading to wo men. “Women are no longer weaving images, but are asking for a place in which to build in life,” she said. The means which Stanford uses for vocational guidance were ex plained by Miss Caroline Strous. “We have no system,” she assert ed. “We have a standing faculty committee composed of the dean of women, the dean of men, and three, faculty members. In the registra tion booklet there is a leaflet which inquires as to whether the student is partially or wholly self supporting, and if he will need work. For the purpose of provid ing the work there is an appoint ment office' which is highly or ganized and efficient. In it there are professional experts who get po sitions for those who need them.” Montana State college holds a vocational congress each year, es pecially for high school girls, but also for college women. The col lege pays the running expenses, but (Continued on page three) ‘MISS LULU BETT CHARACTERISTIC OF AMERICAN HOME AND FAMILY Out of all the plays to be pre sented for the remainder of this year, which include a varied type of production, only one, “Miss Lu lu Bett,” can be truly classified as a representative of American family life as It is to be found in the smaller communities of our country. “Miss Lulu Bett” is to be given by the campus players at Guild Theatre, April 22, 23 and 24. Each year, the best play, depict ing life, as seen by the pen of the dramatic author, of our popular American institution—the home and family, is awarded the Pulitzer prize and eventually appears on Broadway as one of the yearly at trations. Such has been the suc cess of “Icebound” one year, “Hell Bent for Heaven” this year, and “Miss Lulu Bett” for 1921, which was written by Zona Gale. Concerning the motive of the author, Darrel Larsen, instructor of the Drama department of the Uni versity says, “Zona Gale, in writ ing the thing, claims to have writ ten the play just as she sees American life—a sort of bare rep resentation ‘Dwight Deacon’ (tho lead) is virtually another ‘Bab bitt” of Sinclair Lewis. However, this character is not treated as sympathetically as does lewis in his ‘ Babbitt. ’ ” The play is full of biting sar casm and yet those uho are willing to view it broadmindedly will find ■that it leaves a pleasant taste in the mouth. Zona Gale wrote two third acts for the play. The Guild players, howover, are using the one that the authoress herself recom mends, which, incidentally is the one that was employed in making tho play a great success in it’s New York showing. Instructors in the department say that in this production of “Miss Lulu Bett,” which was so popular in the screen version with Thomas Meighan as the leading character, a number of the stu dents are doing their best work and seem to be entering into the spirit of the play' with an enthus iasm that forecasts a meritablc pre sentation.
