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.

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.

her to know what she is like.”
Both agreed that she is a brilliant
speaker with a dynamic personal
ity.

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.)

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

‘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.
