UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, EUGENE FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1926 VOLUME XXVII — NUMBER 69 Varsity Regulars High Scorers Northern Trip Profitable for Hoopsters Who Annex Four Straight Victories By HAROLD MANGUM IN ADDITION to leading the nor thern loop of the coast conference in games wgn, the men of Reinhart have a commanding lead in the number of points scored. Although they have played more games than most of their opponents, their heavy scoring averages veil in comparison with the marks made by other schools in fewer games. * * * Roy Okerberg, who has annexed the nickname of “Duke” some where in his travels, is the leading scorer with 21 field goals and 11 successful throws for a total of 53 points. His record slumped Wed nesday night, when wily Doc Boh ler of the Cougars smothered his basket making activity by setting two men to watch him. This pro cedure is considered rather unortho dox, but was caused by Okerberg’s prolific caging. He was high man in the first three games of the tour. Okerberg’s closest rival is jjhis team mate, Jerry Gunther, who has dropped in 22 goals from the. field, and four from the gift line for 48 points, only five behind the form er’s mark. According to reports, Gunther played good ball on the trip, especially in the last game, when he bore the brunt of the of fense. * * * Algot Westergren holds third place -with 44 markers, made by 19 field goals and six free throws. This triumvirate has the dizzy total of 145 points scored between them in five games, or an average of nearly 50 tallies apiece—or 10 points per man per game. Hobson and Jost, the remaining members of the first string, stand eighth and ninth in the ranks of leading scorers, with 10 and 15 points, respectively. Arnie Kiminki, substitute guard, is the only other Oregon man to tally. He netted one free throw at Missoula. While it is a bit early to pick an all-star team, and anything can hap pen to upset the staunchest dope buckets, prospective selectors are invited to scan the Oregon ranks. Westergren won the honor last year at guard, with Okerberg on the sec ond team as center. These two lads appear to be» better than ever. Jost’s work has also been extremely satisfactory, while Hobson' and Gun ther have been doing yeoman duties in the front ranks. Long A1 Hig gins, Californian center who won the all-star berth last winter, is again on the job but Steele, Rid ings, Hesketh, et al., are now num bered in the ranks of spectators. Appended is the list of individual (Continued on page four) Saturday Noon Is Fee Deadline; Late Ones Face Penalty of $3 Considerable consternation is be ing experienced by University of ficials over tlie slowness of stu dents in paying their fees this term. To date but one half of the total number of students who filed registration cards have paid their fees. According to the cashier this means that there will be a big rush of students late this afternoon and Saturday morning. The business office closes promptly at noon on Saturday and no leniency will be shown those who wait until the last minute to complete their enroll ment. Student body tickets will be ne cessary for the basketball game here Saturday evening with Wash ington. For persons who fail to pay their fees before Saturday noon a' fine of three dollars will be im posed fpr the first day, and an ad ditional fine of 25 cents for each day thereafter. SORORITY PURCHASES SITE FOR NEW HOUSE Delta Gamma Will Start Plans for Structure Alpha Delta chapter of Delta Gamma has completed the purchase of the Manerud property at Six teenth and Alder streets. The lot, which is 160 x 110, is next to the residence of Prof. H. C. Howe. The sale was made through the Delta Gamma Building association, of which Aline Noren ’14, is presi dent. Margaret Boyer, president of the Delta Gamma house, said yesterday, “We still own the house in which we are living at 1367 Alder, and will remain there until we sell the property. The house on our new lot will be moved when we are ready to build, which will be prob ably in two years. We had con sidered building on the property we now occupy for reasons that it has been the only house of Delta Gam ma. It was originally built for the local society of Lambda Rho in 1910. Delta Gamma was installed in 1913 and in 1921 we bought the property. ’ ’ The lot has 160 feet on Alder street and 110 on Sixteenth street. In addition to Miss Noren, the Building association is composed of Jeannette Calkins, ’18, alumni sec retary and editor of “Old Oregon;’’ Emme Stephenson ’19, assistant li brarian of the Spokane public li brary; Marian Neil Giger, ’18, and Edna Gray ’19. Miss Calkins is treasurer of the association, and Miss Stephenson secretary. Work on plans for the new house will be started soon. “WE’LL KNOCK ’EM DEAD,” CRY OF SENIOR BALL COMMITTEE Reports were made at the last Senior ball meeting that were hail ed merrily by all the committee. The decorations will be a secret until seen, reports Laurin Reynolds, chairman. “We are going to knock ’em cold with our wall paper,” he said. “All will be gay and mysterious and a fitting scene for such a ball as we will throw.” Edna Murphy, chairman of re freshments, reported: “Nobody en joys a party, especially the men,1 unless the food is good, and more important, unless there is lots of it. We propose to make everybody, happy. The food will be—well, let ’em come and find out.” The chairman of the patrons com-; mittee is Margaret Stahl, and she had a word or two to say on the j subject: “Got a slick bunch of; patrons and patronesses to show the party to. No need to worry on that: account. The patrons are all good dancers, ditto the ladies.” Jane BoDine, feature chairman, I rolled her eyes and whispered: “What a set of dancers we have! Nothing has ever equalled the fea-j ture we will show to the lucky bunch at the dance. We have spared neither money nor work to produce the most gorgeous extravaganza ever put on any stage.” Walt Kelsey, who succeeded Doug Wilson as chairman of the ticket sale, has turned his work back to Doug, who says: ‘‘Any man who hasn-’t bought a ticket and got a date for the bust is a—well, he hasn’t much sense. Hurry up, fel lows—get on the boat.” ‘‘The music will transport the dancers into a world o{ ecstasy,” said Wendell Lawrence. ‘‘What mu sic they can whistle!” Floyd MeKalson, chairman of the floor committee, smiled trium phantly and said, ‘‘That floor will be slick as a skating rink and fine as a razor. Nobody needs to worry about that !” Frank Boehr, who will work out the lighting effects, |is satisfied. ‘‘We’ll put ’em in dreamland, a land of mystery and they’ll stay there all through the party. What lights won’t do!” Warren Small said: ‘‘Everybody will fall for my programs, so ev erybody had better come. The girls will all want one for their jimmy books. They are rich, rare—and magnificent! ” I ! LELfllilDTOEDIT Former Editor Withdraws to Accept Place With Alumni Magazine Head Traditions Comrfiittee is Ap pointed by Malcolm For “Alma Mater” Song Wayne Leland was appointed edi tor of the 1925-26 Orcgana to re place Betty Cady, former editor, at a meeting of the student council held in the Administration building last evening. The appointment was necessitated by the withdrawal of ^liss Cady from school at the be ginning of this term to take a full time position as secretary to Jean nette Calkins, alumni secretary and editor of “Old Oregon.’’ Leland, being art editor of this year’s book, has been in close touch with Miss Cady’s plans and will be able to pick up the work with little difficulty. Miss Cady has express ed her desire and willingness to aid the new editor in every way possi ble for developing the present plans and editing a successful year book. jjviauu Aib juuivvi The nomination for the position was made by the former editor in conference with the Publication committee of the Executive Coun cil, and brought up for final vote in the student, council by Paul Ager. The position of art editor will remaih under Leland’b direction also, as work in this department is practically- complete. Question as to the advisability of putting a man in this office, con trary to a tradition of the school, was dispensed with, justification being that at this time a person acquainted with the work was es sential. Committee is Increased A resolution, introduced by Paul Ager, that a permanent student ac tivities committee, consisting of five students and the deans of men and women, be appointed to replace Esther Setters an4 Paul Ager, at present handling the work, was passed. Walter Malcolm, president of the council, announced that the annual traditions committee for this year, consisting of Audrey Harer, Fred Martin, Fred West, Jeannette Cal kins, and Delbert Oberteuffer, had been appointed. They will be re quired to investigate the question of more suitable college yells for the school, and the matter of either dropping the latter part of the Al ma Mater song or adopting another to replace it. “In the Harbor of Our Mountains” was suggested for this change, leaving “Oregon Our Alma Mater” as a march. ORCHESTRA CONCERT TO BE HELD TUESDAY As a feature of the University of Oregon orchestra concert next Tues day evening, Doris Patterson will play a solo and accompany the or chestra on the harp. Miss Patter son is well known in Eugene for her brilliant playing on this instru ment, and the work of the youthful musician will add greatly to the in terest of the concert. Rex Underwood, director of the organization, is high in his praise of the work of this year’s organiza tion as compared with those of the past. Not only is the personnel greater in numbers, but there are a greater number of experienced and trained musicians. The interest in orchestra work this year was so great that a second orchestra was formed at the beginning of the year to take care of those who could not qualify for the first group. The competition was especially keen and as a result there has been a greater accomplishment during the past term made possible by a contesting for positions. The program next Tuesday even ing will be a varied one which will appeal to the popular demand in good music. The concert will be held in the Woman’s building and will start at eight o’clock, instead of 8:15 as was announced. Eerie Skeleton Takes a Stroll Across Campus With Art Profs For years the art department has endeavored in vain to acquire a skeleton. The other day Prof. Al fred H. Schroff, at the end of his rope and with the statement that he had to have a skeleton for his class in anatomy, succeeded in gain ing permission of the physical edu cation department to place Jo, the P. E. pet skeleton on exhibition at the art building. The permission was granted on condition that Jo be returned to his permanent home by 9:00 the next morning. Mr. Schroff and Mr. ITafen, happy in the thought that they would at last have a real, rattly skeleton, be took themselves with a basket over their arms to the home of Jo. Com plications did not set in until late that evening when, Jo having been properly assembled and having en dured a class in anatomy, was re turned home. By that time every one had completely fallen in love with Jo, they could not bear the thought of placing him in a basket. Hence Jo once more trod terra fir ma, with one arm gracefully draped about the shoulder of Mr. Schroff and the other about that of Mr. Hafen. The trip to the Woman’s building was made in silence though not without interested spectators. It was so dark that campus folk could not see Mr. Schroff or Mr. Hafen in their dark suits, discern ing only the eerie spectacle of a skeleton not too closely articulated walking slowly across the campus. But when they got there—the build ing was locked. They were forced to escort Jo back to the art de partment. The next morning Jo was once more disorganized and re turned home in a basket. COL. F. P. DAY TO GIVE Ex-Editor of “Old Oregon” Also to Teach Col. Frank Parker Day, director of general studies at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, at Pitts burgh, is to be on the teaching-staff of the Portland summer school, this year, according to Alfred Powers, dean of the Extension Division.

(Signed) Order “O” DR. R. L. BOWMAN POINTS TO PERIL OF CLOSED MIND Portland Pastor Declares Truth To Be Foundation For Stable Conclusions Recognition of Validity of Science and Spiritual Reality In Religion, Need “Failure to know and understand the point of view of the other fel low” and the “temptation to live in the cave of our own point of view,” wore cited as basically re sponsible for all class distinction, so cial, religious, and intellectual snob bishness, in an address by Dr. Har old L. Bowman, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Portland, at the assembly yesterday. Dr. Bow man’s topic was “Troglodytes of Today. ” “Education is successful \pnly when it liberates the soul from a troglodyte existence,” the speaker declared. “I do not accept the be lief of Samuel Johnson that ‘the basis of all intelligence is truth.’ It is not enough to build our thought processes on truth, but they must be built upon all the truth. There can bo no enduring structure built on a false foundation. There is no stable foundation but all the truth. Unless men build on all the truth conclusions are not depend able. All the Truth Necessary “Man may know all there is to know about science, yet be ignor ant of life’s deeper moral feeling. Still, man may know all the cate gories of theology, yet be so blind ly ignorant of science he would be as little capable of interpreting the human being as the man who knew only of science. With only part of the truth life is incomplete. Open mindedness is determined by whe ther or not one builds upon all the trnth. “There is nothing in religion that haa anything in it to close the mind of a man againat the findinga of science. Religion muat not live in a cave and look only at its own con structed shadows and be afraid of the white light of reality‘and truth. Similarly, no one has the valid right to construct for himself a material istic cave and refuse to let in the spiritual light of religion. Hope, religion, conflict, faith, prayer and science must all be taken into ac count if we are to see man steadily and wholly. We must not limit ourselves to one point of view and refuse to look around. We must adapt ourselves to the physical world around us and recognize the spiritual and moral realities. Lies Lead to Fights “The man who shuts himself up in a religious cave is no more re prehensible than the man who re fuses to let the light of spiritual reality in his materialistic cave. We must learn to recognize the valid ity of science and the spiritual real ity in religion and find in them all the truth and work them together in perfect and harmonious unity. It is necessary to lie about a per son before you can fight him. Only when we have a perfect ground work of truth can we have a base for international peace,” the speak dr concluded. Dean Henry D. Sheldon intro duced Dr. Bowman, and Rev. Bruce J. Giffen, University student pas tor, delivered the invocation. Two special musical numbers were sung by the girls’ glee club under the di rection of John Stark Evang, as sistant dean of the school of music. H. HUNNICUTT IS NEW REGISTER REPORTER Harold Hunnicutt, ’27, has taken over the University reporting for the Register.

Light Globe Sets House on Fire While Instructor Sleeps Soundly Wanted—An asbestos electric light globe. Apply Raymond R. Lawrence, instructor in the school of journalism. This ad is not being paid for, having been inserted without the knowledge or consent of the busi ness office. Or, for that matter, without the knowledge or consent of Mr. Lawrence, who blames a certain electric-light globe for two fires in his house in ono day. After moving the globe and cord from a shelf to the bed, Mr. Law rence left his home, the former L. K. Shumaker cabin on Fail-mount boulevard, Wednesday. Meanwhile, the electric light man, coming to do some repair work, turned on the lights. Late that evening the own er returned, to discover smoko pour ing from the place. The globe, after burning for sev eral hours, had set fire to the mat tress* and coverings. They were hurriedly removed to the sleeping porch and drowned with bucketsful of water for the next hour. Then, with a sigh of relief, Mr. Lawrence retired to a peaceful night’s sleep on an improvised bed. In the morning ho discovered that ho had been snoozing through the second fire. The smouldering blaze in the mattress had returned to life in the night and burned out the floor of the sleeping porch. INITIAL WRESTLING MEET TO BE AT 0. A. C. Five Men to Participate At Corvallis Tomorrow The first event on the minor sport schedule will be the wrestling meet in Corvnljis 2:30, Saturday af ternoon, January 30. Coach Earl Widmer with five varsity wrestlers and Bob Warner, manager in the absence of James Johnson, will make the trip. The men making the trip are: Edward Grant, 175 pounds; William Owsley, 158 pounds; LeRoy Ox ford, 148 pounds; Burl Betzer, 135 pounds; and Charles Heck, 125 pounds. This will be the first collegiate competition that any of these men have taken part in and the future strength of the team will bo deter mined by the outcome of the meet. The O. A. C. grapplers will furnish the strongest competition in the Northwest for the sport commands a great amount of interest there. Although three wrestling letter men are in school they will not make the trip for none of them have turned out through inability to make the weight and other rea sons. Out of a group of compara tively green and inexperienced men, Coach Widmer has been com pelled to develop entrants for every event. The -loss of the let termen has broken up the strength of the team. “The men are in fairly good phy sical condition with the exception of the light heavyweight and the lightweight who have been train ing only recently. The other men are in good shape and should show some good work,” said Widmer last night. The team wijl leave here at 8 o’clock on Saturday morning, to reach Corvallis in time to weigh in at 10 o'clock. VISITS OF FAMOUS MEN VALUABLE TO CAMPUS Exceedingly valuable to the stu dents are the campus visits of fam ous men, according to an interview with Dr. Rudolf H. Ernst Thursday. Upon the recent coming of Sher wood Anderson, his writings be came the table-talk of the fratern ities and sororities, and his books, which were formerly little read on the campus, were well advertised. This discussion of reading is very valuable. “Most important of all, the stu dents are stimulated in their own endeavor to do great things,” said Dr. Ernst. When Roald Amundsen comes, enthusiasm will inspire them to imitate his energies and achieve fine things. WINNING QUINTET TO GET ROUSING WELCOME ROME Bill’s Basketeers to be Back In Eugene Today Bearing Northern Scalps Big Crown of Rooters To Meet Train; “Everybody Out,” Says Fred Martin Oregon ’a victorious basketeers will arrive in Eugene today at 12:10. A large crowd of students is expected to be on hand to greet them, according to Fred Martin, yell king. The boys have done their share in the north,” said Martin. “It is only fair that we do our part here, and prove that wo appreciate their wonderful work. I want everybody that can possibly make it to be on hand when the Shasta pulls in, and give Reinhart’s boys a real Oregon welcome. Everybody wear rooters’ lids.” lyoacii -Billy 8 doughty band of lialf a score 'of marauding hoop sters, thoroughly fatigued by their harrowing invasion, stopped in Pull man after the Cougar game, and every man got all the sleep he wanted. Yesterday they journeyed down to Walla Walla, and arrived in Portland at 7:30 this morning. The Shasta will put them in Eugene at 12:10 today. With a minimum of rest—one hurried workout—the Webfeet will face the University 'of Washington netsmiths tomorrow night in the armory. The Huskies play the Beavers in their home lair tonight, in what will be the first hard com petition for the Aggies, and will give a definite line on the ability of our neighboring collegians. Coach Edmondson, of the Wash ingtonians, has not been experienc ing a bed of roses, but has had to shift his starting lineup continually to secure the best results. Tho quintet in ascondanco now consists of Scliuss a|nd Gross, forwards; Brobst, center; and Hale and Dahl quist, guards. If this combination bucks into heavy seas at Corvallis, Edmonson is apt to switch in an entire now outfit. James, Van Stralen, Jewell, St. John, Johnson, and Suomela comprise the remainder of the squad engaging in the Oregon invasion. PORTLAND NEWSPAPER MAN VISITS CAMPUS Albert Hawkins, of the Morning’ Oregonian’s editorial-writing staff; has been a visitor on the camps* the last two days.
