NUMBER 37
TO STATE HEADS
Second Sec t i o n Dummies
Distributed To Workers
For Final Preparation
p Houses Are Co-operating
With Studio; Three New
Appointments Announced
Work has progressed so far on
the 1926 Oregana that second dum
mies were given out to section edi
tors last night at a meeting of the
staff of the annual publication.
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.

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 basketball team, romped home
with the long end of a 19 to 8
score over /the B;owery aggrega

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

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

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.”

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.

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.
