‘Vr/MV% VOLUME XXVII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1925 NUMBER 51 FACULTY OPINION SAID TO FAVOR NEW MAGAZINE Dean Sheldon, Dr. Gilbert, Deans Straub, Walker, Lawrence Approve Idea Executive Council Sanction Is Believed Obtainable; Other Criticisms Asked All right, folks—just to show you that there is a little sentiment to ward a publication the committee— Philippa Sherman, Mary Jo Shelley, Glen Burch, Douglas Wilson, Carvel Nelson, Bob Lane, and Bolf Klep, chairman, has been here, there, ev erywhere, and after a week’s en deavor has found that practically every student is in faVor of the project. And to show a few skep tics how some of the faculty mem bers feel about it they submit the following: “I have had the idea in mind ever since the Lemon Punch epi sode,” declares Dean H. D. Sheldon, chairman of the executive commit tee, “and I feel that a more gen eral magazine—one of interest to more than a select group, is highly desirable and I will gladly support the students in forwarding its pub lication.” Dr. James H. Gilbert, acting dean of the college of literature, science, and the arts, thinks that “with the student body as large as it is, and with the financial resources it has, .there is no reason under t.ho sun why it could not support a high type of magazine.” That there is a wealth of potential ability on the campus along literary lines, and such a magazine would do the stu dents and the University a world of good, is his opinion. Continuing further he declared that it should be under student body control. The student body, he believes, is well able to back it. “I am sure,” he stated that the plumni organiza tion would never consent to an am algamation of such a magazine with Old Oregon for this reason: They want an alumni magazine of their own, and have developed Old Ore gon to a point where it now ranks high among alumni publications.” “A new magazine will be a good thing if all of the work doesn’t rest on the shoulders of a few boys who already have six or eight oth er activities,” said Dean John Straub, dean emeritus of the Uni versity. “There is plenty of ma terial on the campus for such a publication. I am in favor of it if it can be arranged.” Says Dean H. Walker, dean of men: “Personally, I’m all for the idea of such a publication. I think there is room for it. I think there is a need for it, and I also think there is no reason why it should hot succeed. I have been interest ed for some time in such a maga zine as you suggest which I think (Continued on page two) REPETITION OF MASS TO BE VESPER PROGRAM St. Cecilia mass will be re peated at the Vesper service in the School of Music auditorium Sunday at 4:30 p. m. for those students who were unable to gain admittance time.

Smith of the geo logy department will give an illus trated lecture on the Philippines, the country as a whole and .its pres ent day problems, befpre the Mt.

HOW RED GROSS RESCUED REGION IS TOLD BY DEAN Work of Rehabilitation In Tornado Zone Typically American, Says Kilpatrick Systematic Rebuilding Puts Wide Area Back On Its Feet, Solvent, Hopeful Vividly describing the process of the rehabilitation of the devasted areas of Missouri, Indiana, and Illinois which has been going on since the tornado which swept the middle west last summe'r, Earl Kil patrick, retiring dean of .the Ex tension Division, addressed the as sembly yesterday. Dean Kilpat rick’s address, which he called “Chasing a Tornado” outlined the accomplishments of the American Red Cross in administering relief in this and other districts struck by disasters. “The business of rehabilitation is essentially an American achieve ment,” Dean Kilpatrick declared. Beginning with the first of this work, undertaken after the Ohio valley flood which ‘ took a toll of 600 lives in 1913, the speaker traced the progress of the relief work of the American Red Cross. Since 1905, Dean Kilpatrick said, the Red Cross has been recognized as the official administrator of Am erican relief. In America alone, the organization took charge of re lief work in 90 disasters last yeas, and administered foreign relief as well. Uprooting towns and wrecking rural areas, the tornado which swept the middle west last summer from end to end covered a distance of 600 miles, Dean Kilpatrick said. Bringing with it the first gleam of order and hope the American Red Cross was working in the devasted district a few hours after the tor nado had passed. “In administering relief,” the speaker said, “the Red Cross recog nizes four significant needs—food, shelter, clothing and medical and nurses’ attention. After these fun damental needs have been supplied, local advisory committees are or ganized to begin the process of re habilitation, which includes the slow process of investigation, organiza tion, and construction. There is also the problem of mental as well as social rehabilitation.” Needs, Not Losses, Basis Every case is judged by the lo cal committee, on the basis of need, not loss, Dean Kilpatrick explain ed. Supplementations are made in buying power and not money. Re construction follows that of the ideal of the American city. Every family is permitted to do its own buying as its needs may appear. Rural relief was, also, an import ant work * in the middle western district, live stock was shipped in, crops were planted, and fences re stored, he said. “The relief work of the American Bed Cross is excellently typical of the finest things that can be con ceived. It is typically American.” Takes New Post January 1 Dean Kilpatrick will begin his work with the Bed Cross with head quarters at St. Louis, Mo., on Jan uary 1, at which time his resigna tion as dean of the extension divi sion will become effective. He is an Oregon alumnus graduating in 1909, and along with his work as Dean he has been extremely active in Bed Cross work, having been in charge of the relief work after the tornado; and, as well, that after the Pueblo flood and the Astoria fire. Leota Biggs, soprano, accompan ied by Jean Harper, sang two num bers, “The Answer” and “The Poor Finish.” O. N. S. CLUB HAS BANQUET President J. 8. Landers of the Oregon State Normal School at Monmouth was guest of honor at a banquet give* by the Oregon Nor mal School club of the University at the Campa Shoppe Wednesday evening. Mr. Landers sketched the recent growth of the normal school and spoke in brief of the problems to be solved. Fook Tai Lau Said To Have Been Slain In Chinese Rioting Student Had Planned Ideal City The name of Fook-Tai-Lau, a graduate student in the school of architecture last year and who re turned to his home in China last July, appeared among a list in a Chinese newspaper of those killed during a student insurrec tion there, led by French and English troops. Friends of Lau in Portland and Dean Ellis F. Lawrence, of the school of archi tecture here, under whom Lau is reported to have done some very fine work, have sent to the Am erican consul in Shanghai to veri fy the report. A discrepancy which may lead to disproving the report is that the insurrection in which he was supposedly killed occur red May 3, while he didn’t sail from the United States until some time in July. Dean Law rence and others received cards from him when his boat touched Honolulu, but since then no word has been received. Lau was an intense patriot ac cording to friends, so the possi bility of his being included in such an insurrection is not alto gether improbable. He had plan ned a dream city to replace his home city, and while on the cam pus drew plans for some very beautiful buildings to be includ ed. Lau received his B.S. degree in 1924 and his M.S. in archi tecture in 1925.

There has been consider able interest in wrestling and a number of freshmen and sopho mores are out for the sport. Widmer is looking to the sopho mores to furnish plenty of varsity men. The most promising are Shull, Grant, and Hamilton, light-heavy weights, Boesen, a middleweight, Oxford, and Stevens, welterweights, and Kirkham, lightweight. Accord ing to Widmer these men have much to lparn but are picking up the holds and breaks quickly.

Older people and thoso not particularly interest ed in student affairs were predom inant at former gatherings.

A. C. Rooks. Coach Wiumer is one of tho best known wrestling coaches on the coast and with the promising ma terials at hand, should bring Ore gon into promineneo in intercolle giate ■wrestling. PROSPECTS FOR TRUE POOR SAYS HAYWARD First Call For Cinder Men Issued; New Men Have Chance To Make Team Plans For Spring Training Are Extensive; Board Oval To Be Constructed “It’s the worst track outlook I ever had at Oregon,” was the dec laration of Bill Hayward veteran track coach who will begin his twenty fourth year as track coach for the University with the open ing of work for the cinder artists next term. “What we want is men out. There are dozens of men here who have not signed up for track and we want those men out.” Tlio first call for track men is issued now and at the beginning of the winter term the work starts for those who sign up next te^m. “If you have ever run any Kind of Tace, or anyone who has done anything in track or run /br any one, should come out- Any runner who has run rr fbfnks ho can run is wanted out -"nntor. “Don’t nover gone uu. ... •* chance, now is the chance, for tracts men are made and not born in most cases.” This applies particularly to freshmen as well as the varsity as pirants. Training Begins Next Tern The track men start training at tho first of the year and Bill Hay ward’s all-year-around program of development will get under way in earnest. Track men are made by conscientious effort and the men who will run in the races next spring are those who get the benefit of the preliminary training. The rank and file of the championship teams that Oregon has put out in the past have been developed and not born. Tho scarcity of material for the varsity team next spring is appall ing. There has to be men to fill the shoes of Chick Rosenberg, Jim Kinney, Don Cash, Pen Wilbur, Henry Tetz and a half dozen others. That’s tho hard task that faces the coach. It’s a question of develop ment and the material •must be got ten out in time for tho winter work. Extensive Plans Made Extensive plans have been made for next term’s training. The men will work out inside, the weight men in the outdoor gymnasium and when the weather permits the run ners will work on a speeially con structed board track on the Hay ward Field oval or the indoor track in the men’s gymnasium. Shoulder work for all runners and muscle building exercises will be drilled on. A complete revision of the old training schedule is being made by Bill Hayward who is putting forth all of his efforts to develop a track team this year, in spite of the poor showing so far, that will do credit to the championship teams of ten year’s ago when track and Oregon was synominous on the Pacific coast and the championship year after year was won by Oregon teams. ILLUSTRATED LECTURE JANUARY 6, IN VILLARD Eodney Glisan, Portland athor^ ney, will give an illustrated lecture on South America Wednesday even ing, January 6, in Villard hall at 8:00.

Smith, head of the geology depart ment. Students in foreign trade, those studying the history of South Am erica and the Spanish language will probably be most interested in Mr. Glisan’s lecture, although the gen eral public is invited to attend, Dr. Smith said.
