Betty Cady, editor of this year’s Oregana, was well pleased with the work of her staff and the origin ality shown by many of the sec tion editors in the plans they sub mitted for her approval. The book this year will be work erf1 out with a state motif. It is the plan of the editor to make a unified piece of work, arranging the art work, typography and paper so that there will be some associa tion among them. New Plan Introduced A new plan is also being worked out this year which will give the editing staff a cheek on what each staff member is doing. The plan will be carried out by means of a chart which will be similar to the one used by Freda Goodrich on the 1924 Oregana. Eolf Klep, who has just recently returned to the campus after spend ing the summer in Alaska, is assum ing his duties as associate editor. Klep was in charge of the art work on 1925 Oregana and was appoint ed to his present position last spring. Arthur Priaulx has been appointed managing editor, and Florence Morast assistant to the editor. Business Staff Naiaed On the business staff, Balph Pos ton, who is attending medical school, is handling the Portland ad vertising, Frank Wilson the Eugene advertising, and Jim Manning heads the circulation department. From studio reports the houses are co-operating very well in hav ing their pictures taken. Kennel Ellis is handling approximately 60 students a day in order to complete Oregana photographs before the Christmas holidays. MARY BAKER ’24 HAS ARTICLE PUBLISHED altfry E.

I Tea Honoring Big And Little Sisters Planned For Today Big Sisters, Woman’s League is planning its tea this after noon in your special honor. You may bring your protegees with you, introduce them to new girls, and get better acquainted with them yourself. The Big Sister committee is very anxious that you respond willingly to this be cause it is upon successful social gatherings that the success of the Big Sister movement depends. All little sisters who have no t found big (sisters, please come any way, is the message sent out by the committee. The tea will be in the Woman’s building be tween 4 and 6. A musical pro gram has been arranged and girls will have an opportunity to dance. This will be the only Big Sister tea this year, and it is important that all attend. BIG SISTERS TO TIKE TEA WITH FRESHMEN Dean Esterly To Be Hostess To Girls Thursday Dean Esterly has arranged to en tertain the freshmen girls at teas in her home through the Big Sister committee of Woman’s League, it was announced at the first mass meeting of the Big Sister commit tee last evening in Alumni hall. The first tea will be held Thurs day afternoon, when Mrs. Esterly will receive Doris Brophy, a cap tain, and the ten lieutenants under her with their forty little sisters. There are ten captains, hence nine other teas will' be given during this term and next, so that all freshman girls may have a chance to go. Special mention was made in the meeting that every freshman girl should be urged to go to the Me morial services which Will be held soon for President Campbell. Each big sister is expected to either take her little sisters or see that they go. The tea which will be given this afternoon by Big Sisters was also brought up. “It is just up to the Big Sisters to make that tea a success,” declared Kathryn Ulrich, chairman, “and they are all expect ed to come with their little sisters.” Mention was also made of the Big Sister table which is available in Dean Esterly’s office to all members of the committee. Miss Ulrich pointed out that many of the Big Sisters have not yet filed in formation 'cards concerning t^heir little sisters. These cards tell the activity in which each freshman is particularly interested. They are principally for the use of people who are apppinting committees and wish to find out about interested freshmen. SOPHOMORES DEVELOPING UNIQUE DESIGNS FOR THEIR INFORMAL Paint to the left of us, paint to the right of us, kegs and kegs of it. Ask any sophomore who has been working at the Armory dur ing the past week on the decora tions for the Sophomore .Informal. This saying is literally true for many kegs of blue and red paint in many shades and tints are being used by the underclassmen in their efforts to surpass any previous class dance in beauty of decorations. The motif for this dance is adap ted from the Paris Exposition with many free and modern additions by Ab Lawrence, ohairman of the de coration committee. The free idea of design was worked in to avoid being tied down to a particular period and ^hus allows more orig inality on the part of those in charge. One and a quarter miles of blue gray drapes will find their way in to the mass of materials being used for decorations. In addition a half mile of powder-blue cheese cloth will be used. Any one with a mathematical turn of mind might attempt to fig ure o^t this problem, if the threads of the cheese cloth were tied end to end how many times would they reach around the world. Two thousand square feet of beaver board will do its bit in fur nishing substance out of which spi rals and curly-cews Will be carved. Those who have been doing the greater part of the work down at the soldier headquarters report that there is still enough red and blue paint of many tints left so that the remainder of the sophomore men may have an opportunity to spread it freely over their personages while at the same time they are daubing on a bit here and there where it will do the most good from an esthetic point of view. Saturday, November 21 is the day. The Eugene Armory is the place. The Sophomore Class is the host. The student body of the Uni versity of Oregon * the Jguest. Probable result: a good time for all concerned. But in order to do this the help of every sophomore man is necessary.

BETA-SIGMA CHI LATEST VICTORS IN HOOP GAMES Delta Tau Delta and Oregon Club Battle Today “Swede” Westergren’s fighting Beta basketball team, romped home with the long end of a 19 to 8 score over /the B;owery aggrega tion, as a curtain raiser of the sec ond round of the Do-Nut schedule yesterday. One hour later referee “Spike” Leslie stopped the Theta Chi-Sigma Chi battle fvith the count of 22 to 10. Sigma Chi win ning. The Beta’s were played to a stand still in the first half of its game with the Bowery due to its inability to hit the basket, and the fine guarding of DaMert who played a sweet game for the Bow ery boy’s. However, in the second half the Beta’s got started due perhaps to Swede’s stirring talk on how the game should be played. Epps and Toole each annexed three of the much coveted baskets and placed the Beta team in the lead. Epps played a brilliant brand of ball for the winners both on of fense and defense, and gathered 8 markers for his string. Socolofsky star guard, and Toole, port side slicker, each contributed to the score with and 5 markers respec tively.

Rounds is secretary of tho Young Men’s Christian Association. I at Changsha, Hunan, China. Ho is taking a prominent part in miss ionary . work of the Christian churiches. The leljter expressed deep regret at the death of Presi dent P. L. Campbell, who had been a personal friend of Rounds for 19 years. It said in part: “There are few men whose words linger long in one’s memory, but I can remember several things which ‘Prexie’ "said during the four years I was at Oregon. One of the best addresses which the Young Men’s Christian Association could secure in' those days was one in which we had him make annually on the topic of “Alternative Ideas in Religion.” He always had a splendid crowd to hear him, for the whole student body held in high esteem his scholarship and his spir it. Anecdote Related “He led a Bible class for us, and one morning when some of us had risen rather late, and had had to dress with more haste than care, he called our attention to the civil izing influence of being dressed up. And he did it with tho twinkle in his eye that made for him so many friends. The cabinet docided to hold its weekly meetings at Tuesday lun cheons in the Y Hut henceforth. Mr. Davis announced the confer ences for University students which Bishop Sumner, now visiting the Oregon campus, is holding in the Y Hut this week. His conference hours are from II to 12 a. m. >and from 2 to 4 p. m. Tho bishop is anxious to help students with per sonal or religious problems they may have.

WASHINGTON DIARIES DONATED TO LIBRARY Ladies Organization Gives Four Volume Set A four volume set of the first issuo of the complete “Diaries of George Washington,” has been do nated to the University library by Miss Mary >F. Failing, of Por(t-j land, vice regent for the state of Oregon qf the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association of the Union. The volumes are edited by John C. Fitzpatrick, of the manuscript division of the Congressional libr ary. They givo in Washington’s own words the record of his activi ties from the first expedition be yond the Alleghanies as a youth of sixteen to the days of his final ill ness. The picture of colonial social life in Virginia is extraordinarily vivid, according to the descriptions of content given in ah accompany ing pamphlet. Historically the di aries are highly valuable, biograp hically they are inestimable. The real George Washington is here clearly set forth in a personal, but unemotional mattor of fact man ner. The four volumes are bound in dark blue cloth stamped in gold and illustrated from old prints and engravings. BISHOP W. T. SUMNER DINNER GUEST AT HALL Bishop Walter T. Sumner who was a Homecoming visitor, and who will remain on the campus un til tomorrow when ho will givo the assembly address, was the guest of honor at dinner at Hendricks hall monday night. After dinner Bishop Sumner gave the women a short talk in which he emphasized the unfortunate fre quency of the use of the phrase “getting by with it.” There is a great amount of meaning behind those few words, declared the bishop, and what they express is not altogether to the credit of the speaker. • Getting by with some thing intimates that someone iB do ing a thing without the full knowe! edge of it being known and this is really an act of theft. The talk was concluded by the expressed hope that the women would not be “get by people.” Elms TOP LIST IN PSYCHOLOGY LANGUNGE TEST Wen Excel In Mathematics Examinations Given To Show True Aptitudes Results Said To Compare Favorably With Those Of Other Universities Man has long thought woman tho master talker of the two sexes, but now he may have proof for this beliof, literally speaking, if the re sults of the placement tests carried on by Dr. Howard B. Taylor and Dr, Edmund S. Conklin of the psy chology department this year have any bearing on the case. Of the eight different tests given, women held high, place in two of them, according to Dr. Taylor, and both of these were linguistic tests. Tho men seem to follow more closely in the footsteps of Newton and Descartes and excel in tho field of mathematics. Girls were found to bo very poor in this line. Purpose Is Stated The placement tests are prepared by L. L. Thurstone, chairman of tho Personnel Research Committee of the National Research Council. Tho tests are not primarily to determine the intelligence, explained Dr. Tay lor, but to indicato particular ap titudes toward certain lines of work. They were given to fresh men entering the University this year. five or six years psychologists wil' arrive at some satisfactory point to prove that the tests have passed all experimental stages and do show tho true aptitudes. The results of these examinations are not given out to individuals, but are filed for tho benefit of instructors who may consult them at any time. Dr. Tay lor reports that a number of first year students received almost per fect grades, but this number was comparatively 'few. Results Given Two hours were allotted for tho examinations, which are composed of the following tests: I. Completion test, (consist of unfinished questions to be complet ed. A test of vocabulary.) II. Arithmetic test, (a test in reasoning). Mon received higher grades. IV. Artificial language test, (a (Continued on page four) PLANS ARE COMPLETE FOR JUNIOR SHINE DAY The junior class held tho second meeting of the term last night in Villard hall at 7:15. Plans Hor junior Rhine Day were discussed. Hugh Biggs told of the history and purpose of shine day; and Verno Polts, chairman of shine day, out lined the organization and plans, mentioning the fact that all jun iors wore to take part, and Bhouhl dress in gaudy colors for tho occa sion. LAWYERS BASEBALL NINE CHALLENGE IN BASKETBALL Under the coaching of “Redside; Evans,” tlie )aw School "baseball team of last season, has been com pletely reconstructed. By a change in the styles of playing, tho champ ionship team now assumes the pro portions of a basketball team. The all-star* players w|ork {'to gether with such precision and uni ty of purpose, that they are confi dent that they ean successfully de fend their claim as champions of the sport, and they hereby chal lenge any aspiring group to a com bat upon any floor that may be ob tainable at the time of said game. At that time they will more firmly intrench the claim of the law school to its unequalled ability in the sport, says prominent members of tho team. •The personnel of tho team is not being divulged at this time,” they say, “becauso we have such a col-1 lection of stars, all equally ablo to fill the breach at the required moment. Captain Gooding does not make a practice of naming a ten tative lineup prior to the opening whistle.” Professor Sam Bass Warner has been elected custodian of the cheer section, such election being based upon his experience at Harvard, whon ho ran in the two mile against Yalo. Ed Keech is handling arrange ments for all games and can be reached at uny convenient time at Price’s Shoe Store. As a final warning, members of the team advise any groups contem plating acceptance of this (chal lenge, to consider thoroughly tho claim to glory which they may now have, bofore they sacrifice it on the altar of the law school su preme.
