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

DR. SMITH TO LECTURE
AT MT. ANGEL COLLEGE
Dr. Warren D. 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.
Angel College at Benedict, Oregon,
this evening.
This subject will be of general in
terest because of its -onnection
with the plebiscite bill recently ve
toed by General Leonard Wood.
The Filipinos passed the plebiscite
bill for the purpose of authorizing
the holding of a plebiscite or a
general election for voting on the
question of Philippine independ
ence. General Wood vetoed the
bill, saying that only congress could
authorize the holding of a plebis
cite.
Dr. Smith has spent 10 years in
the Philippine Islands, his last
visit there was in 1922.
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.

WRESTLING AS SPORT
PROMISING, SAYS COACH
Sophomores Are Expected to
Give Best Material
Earl Widmer, wrestling coach, in
tends to build for the future this
season. 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.
Men Out For Wrestling
Older men on the campus who
are out again for wrestling are,
Harry Leavitt and Carroll Ford,
lettermen; Bill Owsley, Levi Ank
ney, and Herschel Jones. Wells, a
letterman, has not returned to the
University but is expected back
next term. Widmer says the var
sity will go into intensive training
at the beginning of the winter quar
ter.
In the Freshman squad Coach
Widmer looks for Palmrose, a light
heavyweight, Hayes, a welterweight,
and Sullivan, lightweight, to make
their numerals. Other men who will
make a strong bid are, Breese and
Hall, light heavyweights, and Over
meyer and Averill, lightweights.
The Freshmen are taking a keen
interest in the fundamentals of
wrestling which pleases Coach Wid
mer.
Schedule of Games Outlined
The wrestling schedule shows that
O. A. C. will wrestle the varsity on
January 30, here. Then a good trip,
in the week of February 6th to W.
S. C. and Idaho. In the latter part
of February, O. A. C. will be met
again, and the UniversTty of Wash
ington will come to the campus. The
freshmen are to meet several of thq
big clubs in Portland and have
matches with the strong Franklin
High team. The big freshman
Description Given
Of Co-ed Sketchy
But Gets Results
“I would like to find out. the
name of a girl student on the
campus who works for a profes
sor who has a family of three
children and a name ending in
‘son.’ ”
This was the unusual request
made of the person who answer
ed the telephone at the Univer
sity depot the other day, and it
is believed to be the most, extra
ordinary query that ever came to
their office.
Fortunately there happened to
bo someone near who knew the
name of the professor with the
name ending in “son” and also
the right number of children, so
with this clue the girl was soon
found and the desired informa
tion was supplied the inquirer.

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. Mr. Glisan has recently re
turned from a year's travel on the
southern continent.
This lecture will be the first of
a series of general lectures on geo^
graphical and geological subjects
which will be given from time to
time as speakers from various place?
can be induced to come to tho cam
pus, according to Dr. Warren D.
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.
