CAMPUS HOOP TITLE AT STAKE IN SCRIBE-ARCHITECT FRACAS All questions of division of gate receipts, handling the crowds, per sonnel, and eligibility being set tled, campus hoop followers may look forward to a whirlwind, sim oom, tornado, cyclone, sirocco, mon soon, tempest, or whatever it is you call a rip-snorting basketball game.

The seribes have been reinforced by Chester Martin, who will edit cross eountrv and do-nut football.

Beaucaires Memories of palmy days gone by will be recalled when Oregon’s new est miinor sport is launched into the field of outside competition. Tales will be recalled of French gentle men meeting in seclusion to settle differences according to the code of honor. Visions may be conjured up of Monsieur Beaucaires lowering their sword-points, and shaking their curly ringlets, and the cascades of Snowy lace. Forsooth, Oregon’s disciples of d ’Artigan are about to cross sword points with rapiermen representing Multnomah club in a friendly bout. The date is still uncertain. A ten tative match has also been arranged with the Reed college duellists. Oregon’s cavalierian honor will probably be upheld by William Davisson and George Wilhelm, good a*nd capable swordsmiths, with a third alternate to be picked from the remaining aspirants. CASEY IS CO-EDITOR OF JOURNALISM WORK Publishers Say Book is Pio neer of Kind Ralph D. Casey, associate profes sor of journalism and University editor, is the co-author of “Prin ciples of Publicity,” a book cover ing the field of publicity writing, which was recently accepted for publication by D. Appleton and Company, well known New York publishers. | A letter sent to the school of journalism by the publishers says the book is the pioneer “how-to-do it” text on a field of constantly increasing importance. Publicity has become a profession with a technique, and this book covers the details of the practice and explains its purposes and aims. The book is a mine of informa tion for the practical newspaper man and covers writing in all phases of the game from the editor down to the reporter and the car toonist. It gives many tips on what to use and what to avoid in feature writing in order to insure publication of articles contributed. The newspaper is not the only field of work touched upon, for sev eral chapters are devoted to pamph let writing and make-up from a typographical standpoint. Others are given over to writing for trade publications and for house organs. A clever feature of the book is the final chapter which summarizes all the elements necessary for a good, well-planned publicity cam paign. MUSIC CAUSES SHORT SKIRTS, SAYS SOUSA WASHINGTON STATE COL LEGE, Pullman, Jan. 30—(P. I. P). —Music is the primary cause of the present short skirt epidemic in the opinion of Lieutenant Comman der John Philip Sousa, who will ap pear at the college Saturday even ing. Music, particularly jazz and its forerunners, set the American girls to dancing. Dancing develop ed their leg muscles and once pipe stem legs had become the excep tion, rather than the rule, fashion decreed the short skirt. “The present dance craze began about a decade ago,” says Sousa. “The development of ballroom dan cing received a powerful impetus with the introduction of the tango, the fox trot and the maxixe, fore runners of present-day jazz. Jazz largely developed in the dance halls where small orchestras sought new j effects with which to enliven pro-! grams of dance music. “When-the girls began to dance, j the muscles of their legs developed | from the exercise, with the result that the innocent bystander, these days, sees much less that is dis tressing to gaze upon than would have been the case, had there been no dance craze.” FOOTBALL NOTICE! All baekfiebl men, ends, and cen ters report at Hay word field at 3:30 today. OREGANA CHIEF SENDS OUT CALL FOR SNAPSHOTS Wayne Leland, New Editor, Asks Students to Turn in Feature - Page Pictures Fifty Students Must Call At Studio for Pictures; Last Chances This Week Campus living organizations are urged by Wayne Leland, now edi tor of the Oregana, to turn in as many snap shots as possible. It is necessary also, for the 50 students who have as yet failed to choose the proof for their Oregana pic ture to do so at once, since Kennell Ellis will start printing them Thursday. Mounting will begin Saturday, and there can be no change in any picture after this I process has begun, Leland said. I Funny Snaps Wanted j Humorous snapshots are especial-1 ly requested for the Satire sec tion, and others for the pages de voted to Features. A varied col lection is desired to permit the se lection of a sufficient number that will reproduce well. Those not used will be returned to their owner. Last year the supply was not large enough, and none have been turned in yet for this year, says Leland. Bob Keeney has charge of the snapshots, and they may be handed to him, Wayne Leland, George Ross, or anyone else on the Oregana staff. Meeting is Called The new editor has called an im portant meeting in the shack Thurs day evening at 7:30, of all section editors, to go over the organiza tion of the book again. The dum mies have been turned in and a large part of the copy is written, some of it needing a few altera tions that must be checked up. For the first time in the history of the Oregana, the contract for the print ing will be divided into two parts; the color work will be let separately from the rest of the printing. Betty Cady, who was editor up to her withdrawal from the Uni versity last month, will act as ad visory editor. There will be no change in the outline of the book, and the original plan will be con tinued. DANCING CLASS GIVEN FOR FACULTY WOMEN A class in educational dancing for faculty women and their friesids is being organized by the department "of physical education for women. Classes will begin Thursday, Febru ary 4, at 7:45 and will be conducted by Mrs. Kenneth Moore, formerly Mildred Le •Compte, ’24, a grad uate of this department with two years’ experience in teaching this work at a community house in Port-1 land. The evening may be changed if the class prefers. Mildred Le Comjpte was instructor in the Eugene summer school ses sion following her graduation and had charge of the recreational ac tivities. She was a member of Or Chesus and one of the stars in the 'first drama presented by that or ganization. STUDENTS OF EXTENSION DIVISION PROPOSE PIN Letters have been coming to Miss Mozelle Hair, secretary of the Extension Division, requesting that ( a pin or emblem be adopted by stu- , dents enrolled for correspondence study. One student sent in an il lustration of a pin that ho thought would be appropriate. Others have expressed their interest in the mat ter and willingness to buy and wear \ such an emblem. It is probable that a pin will be adopted if a sufficient number show an interest in the j movement, Miss Hair says. MANAGERS NOTICE! All freshmen and sophomore man agers and all others who expect to workout for managerial staff re port at Hayward field at 3:30 to-j day. i Orion, One Time Earthly Hunter, Shines as Star in Southern Sky Orion, a giant hunter on earth, and one favored by the gods, ac cording to mythology, ascended into the heavens after his life on earth had ended, and now every evening at about 7 o’clock, the lights from the constellation of Orion may be seen in the south eastern sky, signifying that the great hunter is still active, although his hunting grounds have been shifted. Sirius, his faithful great dog, fol lows close at Orion’s heels. This star, which is the brightest in all the heavens, appears low in the southeastern sky at 7 o’clock, aflid by 9 o'clock is almjost due south. The light from Sirius is very bright, which indicates that the star is of great density, producing a tremendous heat. Prof. E. II. Mc Alister explains that platinum: is the densest substance known on earth, and the density of stars is more than 2000 times as great. E. B. COPELAND TO BE ASSEMBLY SPEAKER “Ethics and Race Survival” Botanist’s Subject Dr. Edwin Bingham Copeland, in ternationally known botonist, will be the speaker at the assembly Thursday in the Woman’s building. “Ethics and Baee Survival)” has been chosen by the scientist as his topic. Dr. Copeland, who is former dean of the College of Agriculture and professor of plant psychology at the University of the Philippines, has gained world recognition as an au thority on rice, cocoaputs, varieties of fern and other tropical plants. For two years Dr. Copeland was an 'instructor of botany at Leland Stanford Jr. University, of which he is a graduate of the class of 1895, and for three years he was 'botanist for the Philippine govern ment and superintendent of the Philippine Agriculture school.

SCENE OF LEAGUE TEA IS CHANGED FOR WEEK The sun room of the "Woman’s building will be the scene of the | Women’s League tea this afternoon 'between 4 and 6, instead of the dan cing room, which is usually used, because of the practice which is being carried on by Orchosus for the approaching dance drama. All campus women are, as usual, ex tended an invitation to this tea, and it will be very informal. Big sisters are expected to take their little sisters. Freshman girls will serve. GO-MILE OGLE LEAVES CAMPUS WRECK STREWN Powerline Breaks; Darkness Demoralizing to Emerald Workers Who ‘Stand By' Wind Blows Branches From Trees, Shatters Strong Journalism Shack Door By JANE DUDLEY The ground hog received a sud den and unexpected surprise about five o ’clock yesterday afternoon when he was surveying his shadow and thinking of the six weeks' more of winter that was to come. A gust of wind whisked him off his feet and deposited him in his hole! And when the ground hog peaked out again ho decided that winter had come to make up for its long absence during the past months. The galo, which was estimated by Dr. W. P. Boynton, head of the physics department, at 60 miles, came up totally unexpectedly and ns suddenly died down two hours later. After that it recurred spas modically, but at no time reached the height it had attained before. The campus early this morning was strewn with small branches, while students who tried to enter the jour nalism building on the south dis covered the door was completely wrecked. How fortunate was the ground hog that he was blown into his holel North Part of Campus Dark The buildings on the northeast part of the campus were barely lighted for two hours last night. From the outside they appeared dark, but inside there was enough light to see one’s way about. Most of the students wishing to study in the old library were tempted by the lighter rooms of Condon hall, so that the library looked as desert ed as on the night of a basketball game. Friendly hall was not suffi ciently lighted to nllow its studente to study, and McClure hall seemed almost a haunted house with the moon (faint electric light globes), shining through the chinks. The in firmary and the buildings surround ing the art square were also in need of illumination. Work on the Emerald continued by candle light. Friendly hall con tributed two Christmas candles and candle sticks. Susan Campbell hall supplied several sauce dishes to hold the wax candles. Copyreading proceeded by this flickering light. Press Forced to Stop Across the street the University press which ordinarily at this tine was working to its capacity, vu silent because there was no power to run the linotypes. Down by the University power house, three nun* worked against time to repair the broken wire that had caused all the trouble. Through three layers of crossing wires carrying 2300 volts of death, these men pushed their way to mend a wire that campus life could continue in its regular ■way. Below them on the street stood C. A. McClain, superintendent of the Eugene water and light de partment, casting a spot light bor rowed from a nearby car on the fig (Continued on page four) REX UNDERWOOD PRAISED FOR DEVELOPING MUSICIANS By F. R. L. The University orchestra gave its ^annual home concert at the Woman’s jbuildingj last night. Rex Under wood, the director, in three months, has done wonders with a group of musicians of whom only one-third have been with him before. Two pieces stand out on the pro gram. “Dance Macabre” of Saint 'Saens and “Gladiators” of Fueik were rendered in true musicianly style. “Dance Macabre” brought io us the true witchery of its mood. ^Gladiators” carried the color and strength which it demanded. “Fin gals Cave” was also splendidly done in descriptive, colorful stylo. The orchestra itself is not per fectly balanced, as the wind sec tions are not at all times what they should be. However, the string* tire very good, especially the ’eelloa and first violins. On the program Nijnn Warnoek played “Dance Arabe,” from the “Sc.heherezadie” of BimskytKorsa koff, in her usual pleasing manner; Elliot Wright played a trombone solo, “My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice,” by Saint-Saens, giving a new and interesting quality to it; Dora Teshner played the “Medita tion from ThaiB” with her ever beautiful tone; and Doris Patter sqn played a harp solo, “Walt* $e Concert,” with a sure technic and delightful charm. All the solos were well received, each demanding aa 'encore.
