LEAGUE CHANGES
FROLIC SYSTEM
Inter-class Competition To
Take Place Of Rivafry
Among Organized Houses
Bigger And Better Stunts
Will Be Made Possible
By Use of New Method
Inter-house competition in April
Frolic stunts will be replaced by
inter-class rivalry in the future, it
was unanimously decided by all
campus women who attended the
first Women’s League Mass meet
ing Thursday evening in Villard
hall.
This change was made to meet
the disadvantages which have been
discovered in the old method of
conducting the Frolic. Heretofore
the Frolic has been given each year
by half of the women’s houses, each
organization going on the program
on alternate years. As one of the
girls at the mass meeting pointed
out, these stunts, when given by
such small groups of girls, are too
big an undertaking for the time
each house has to spend.
“More time will be allowed for
each of the class stunts, and they
will be bigger and finer entertain
ments,” observed Miss Anna De
Witt, who put the proposition be
fore the girls. “The cup will be
awarded as before, but to the class
instead of the house.”
The Women’s League major com
mittee chairmen made their re
ports at the meeting . Esther Set
ters, chairman of the activities com
mittee, declared that the chief aim
of that branch of Women’s League
this year will be to further the
spread of activity participation on
the campus. Kathryn Ulrich, chair
man of the Big Sister committee, re
ported that this new movement ha,d
so far seemed successful, and that
all suggestions and ^ij^isp*;* {<m
the system would be welcomed.
BRIGHTNESS NOT SIGN
OF STAR’S IMPORTANCE
Action of Variable Is Basis
In Computing Distance
Brightness is not indiejatsTC *f
the importance of a star, according
to Prof. E. H. McAlister of the me
chanics and astronomy department.
There is one star he said, so dim
that it can hardly be discerned by
the eye, that has been of more
assistance to astronomers than al
most any other star in the sky.
This is a faint star directly above
the North Star in the early evening
at this time of the year. It is at
the top of the constellation of Cep
heus, and if often called by that
name.
A common observer, Miss Leavitt,
of the Harvard observatory discov
ered that the periods of variation
in this star were of the same
length.. Although it is only one
of many dim stars which vary in
brightness, it was the first one
studied. The other stars grow bright
and dim regularly each one varying
the length of time from a few
hours to about 150 days. They are
called “Cepheid variables,” because
of that one in the Cepheus constel
lation which has proved itself so
important.
Miss Leavitt of the Harvard ob
servatory discovered that Cepheus
grefr dim and then bright at regular
intervals, and that there was a rela
tion between these intervals and
the distance the star is from the
earth. Harlow Shapley, director of
the observatory, worked lout an
education from this. Now astrono
mers can correctly determine the
distance of all the variable stars,
as soon as they figure out how
long it taTes them to grow dim and
then bright again.
Some of these stars, whose dis
tances have been calculated from
the equation, are so far away that
they can not be seen without the
aid of a telescope. No way yet has
been found to determine the dis
tances of some invariable stars
n*ieh are at such a distance.

Brave Oregon Men
Kill Golden Bear
In Fierce Struggle
A magnificent Essex from Cali
fornia purred along Thirteenth
street on its way to Portland to
help smash the Webfooters. Be
hind in all his glory came the
Golden Bear, tied to the par with
a1 gold ribbon.
Two brave followers of the
Lemon-Yellow {climbed on their
fiery steed and pursued. Perhaps
they glimpsed the beautiful Na
tive Daughters in the car. Closer
and closer came the campus steed.
One noble warrier of the “0”
stretched far out.
The Bear squeaked as the iron
hand of Fate snatched him from
his seat among the mighty. There
was a fierce struggle and much
snarling, and yellow fur darken
ed the skies.
Once the wily Bear escaped,
but the mighty fighter caught
him again and wrung his neck.
Now, only gory tracks are left to
remind us of the defeated mon
ster. If you don’t believe it,
ask Dean Rebec, and his philos
ophy class.

SUNNY STATE’S BRUIN
RECEIVES LAST RITES
A grave in a hostile country!
What could be more tragic? This,
however, is the fate of the Bear.
He has been buried with all pomp
and ceremony in the heart of the
Oregon campus. Those interested
are invited to visit his grave, lo
cated on busy Thirteenth between
the Commerce and Oregon build
ings.
The mound, newly erected, deck
ed with wreaths, resplendent with a
neiy little headstone draped with a
bear’s skin, attests Oregon’s deep
interest in that symbolic animal.
Below the grave are the words:
DEAD BEAB.
BILL MUD DEVISES
MODEL WRIST SUPPORT
Protector To Enable Jones
To Enter Big Game
Out' of an old leather glove and
a few pieces of iron, Bill Hayward,
trainer of the varsity team, devised
a wrist protector for Lynn Jones’
dislocated wrist. It permits the
plunger to move his hand down and
sideways but will prevent it from
being dislocated again. It is be
cause of this protector that Lynn
Jones will be able to enter the
big game today without any
fear of slipping his wrist out of
joint again.
Two strips of metal with a lock
ing spring gives the hand leave to
move only one direction and is
checked at the proper place by the
locking spring. On the bottom side
of the protector is a similiar spring
which permits the hand to move a
little way in that direction. It is
built in two sections, one which
extends up his arm for seven or
eight inches and the lower part
which is hinged, fits over the back
of the hand. It is padded on the
inside and laces on his arm.
NO BASKETBALL CUP TO
BE GIVEN THIS YEAR
Don Parks Suggests That
Awards Be Created
Awards for the participation in
intramural athletics will not he
given this year, at least not for
basketball.
This decision was made when the
representatives of jthe organiza
tions on the campus met at the
men’s gymnasium' 'Jresterday after
noon.
Don f*arks, member of the com
mittee created^to examine the feasi
bility of awards," gave his report.
“Under no circumstances was I able
to find a business man in this city
to donate a suitable cup or award
for use in intramural athletics,” he
said. “And, as the University phy
ical education department is unable
\o furnish awards, I am in favor of
taking up- a collection among the
organizations to create one, provid
ing the members here are in favdr
of such action-”- \ ,

Art Appreciation
Students Sketch
Oregon Building
Two ■ students were gazing at
the facade of the Oregon build*
ing with an earnest intensity
which that worthy structure sel
dom receives. Presently they
w^re joined by another student,
and another. Notebooks and pen
cils appeared, together with puz
zled frowns. In spite of the
presence of gay co-eds and dash
ing men, the Oregon building
continued to be the center of at
tention.
What did it mean? So far as
could be seen the building was
as it had always been. Why,
then, this new strange interest?
Inquiry revealed that these
students were members of a class
in art. appreciation. They were
not voluntary admirers of this
architectural gem—for from it.
They had been assigned to draw
a sketch of it. The cheerless sen
timent of the assembled draughts
men ^eemed to be that “art is
long” and life is short—A
glimpse over their shoulders at
their efforts convinced observers
that they might be right.
tion was placed for vote which de
cided that the awards would not be
given. This ruling holds good for
the basketball season only, it was
decided.
A new basketball schedule was
arranged at the meeting and will
be announced next week. The ques
tion of referee for the basketball
games was taken up and it was de
cided to use the varsity men as
referees.
