    AWARDS COMMITTEE
CHANGES ALBERT PRIZE :
Silver Loving Cup Given
In Place of Cash
_ silver loving cup instead of aj
.ash award of $25 is to constitute j
hereafter the Albert prize. This,
decision was reached recently by j
the Awards committee of the . fac- j
ulty after correspondence with!
Joseph H. Albert of the First Na-j
tional Bank of Salem, donor of the j
trophy.
This award has been made each
year since 1920 to the senior who,
during his college course, has made
the greatest progress toward the
ideal in character, service and
wholesome influence. Under the
rules governing the award the com
mittee selects from among the mem
bers of the senior class, three whose
record appears the best in these re
spects, and from those three the
senior class makes the selection by
ballot.
Last year the $25 prize was
awarded to Claude Robinson, who
was president of the student body.
The award committee also an
nounced that the time remaining
for turning in essays for the Mur
ray Warner essay contest is very
short. The period has been ex
tended to May 10. There is better
response to this competition this
year than previously, with seven
essays expected. There are three
prizes for the best papers: first,
$100; second, $6l5; and third $35.
Little interest has been shown as
yet in the Philo Sherman Bennett
contest of $20 for the best essay
on the principles of free govern
ment. Essays will be accepted un-,
til May 15.
FROSH DEFEAT ROOKS
IN ANNUAL TRACK MEET
The unexpected happened last
Saturday when the frosh relay men
won the annual frosh-rook relay
meet by the score of .1 to 2. The
mfcet was filled with close races,
and hard fought competition. Sur
prises were plentiful for the fresh
man team was doped to lose with
the loss of three good men.
Bill was highly pleased with the
meet. “I certainly am satisfied”
he declared, “especially since we
expected to lose. I would not have
been disappointed if we had lost,
it was the only thing to expect af
ter losing three of my men.”
The summary of the meet was as
follows:
440 relay—Won by Oregon; Al
len, Kuykendall, Guttriilge, and
Wetzel. Time, 4.1:02.

regents.
This ,plan would make the con
struction of the Student Union
building possible in the next three
years instead of at some vague fu
ture date which the present student
drives would make necessary. This
building is recognized as a real
need, and the first £500,000 of the
money collected under the term fee
plan would go towards this end the
building of the basketball pavilion.
The amount of money expended for
this purpose, however, would not
be so large that it would hinde the
construction of other necessary j
buildings.
The payments under the proposed |
amendment of $5.00 a term would |
1" credited on the Student Union j
gift pledges, thus a $100 pledge -
would be reduced to $85 at the end ,
of next year. While it is desirable
to keep the fees of this Univer
sity as low ns possible, even with
this additional $5.00 a term, they |
would still be lower than most uni- I
versifies, and Oregon wouVl be en
abled to li unch a definite campaign
and maintain her athletic prestige

sary to its development.

possibility of free mornings might
ilso overcome some of the student
ivoidance of afternoon classes.
Present Conditions Serious
The present and immediately pros
jeetive congestion in class rooms is
io serious that any single relief
neasure will still be inadequate. The
committee hopes that this opening
ip of Saturday morning to regular
icheduling of classes will permit
mch readjustment that the after
ioon hours will be more available
ilso, and thus give relief for more
lian a single year. The committee
■ecognizes that its proposal will call
’or some readjustments of the cam
>us life, and occasionally Work real
lardship, but see no alternatives
.vhich are at the same time possible,
economical, and equally acceptable.

of zoology and chairman of the
department of medicine in the
University of Oregon, was granted

Dr. Torrey Has Deen a memDer
of the Oregon faculty for the past
five years, joining the University
staff at the invitation of President
P. L. Campbell after eight years'
service as professor of biology at
Beed college, Portland. As chair
man of the department of medi
cine at the University, Dr. Torrey
has divided his time between his
work at Eugene and at the medi
cal school at Portland.
As research was an essential
part of Dr. Torrey's work when he
came to the University, he devel
oped interest in experimental re
search and gathered about him a
group of the members of his own
staff and graduate students and
assistants. This group research
centered about the general prob
lem of differentiation, a problem
connected most closely with the
problem of cancer.
As a result of this work, 15 or
more publications on the investi
gations have been printed in var
ious scientific journals, and inter
ested in. research was gjreatly
stimulated.
The unification of the medical
school program was one of Dr.
Torrey’s ambitions, and a seven
year curriculum was devised and
adopted by the faculties at Eu
gene and at Portland. Dr. Torrey’s
policy has been to encourage
breadth of culture and research in
Eugene, and at the same time to
show their bearing on medicine as
it is and will be.
There are 172 major students in
the departments of zoology and
medicine at Eugene, nine of whom
are graduate students and candi
dates for degrees.
