REINHART SIGNS NEW CONTRACT FOR FI YERRS H. 0. Ellinger of West Point May Accept Position as Webfoot Head Line Coach Army Star, Team Mate of Ernie Nevers, to Arrive At University Saturday Billy Beinhart, since 1923 on the coaching staff of three major sports and head coach of two, was granted a five-year contract by the executive council at a special meet ing last night. At a former meeting the ath letic committee threshed out the details of the contract with the coach and recommended his name for final action by the executive council. Engagement of Beinhart as head coach of basketball and baseball completes the athletic system for major sports, and is in recognition of his success since his employment here. Expenses Given Candidate Harry O. Ellinger, assistant line coach at West Point will probably be the new assistant to Captain John J. ktcEwan. Ellinger was telegraphed his expenses some time ago at the suggestion of the execu tive council. He is expected in Eu gene tomorrow. Complete details of his contract will be threshed out by the executive council next week. Ellinger played four years as guard on West Point teams, and was graduated in June, 1924. Ellin ger played professional football ■with Ernie Nevers this fall and spring. He was named all-Ameri can guard in 1924, and was one of the outstanding linesman in the East. Personality Prhised “He is the man I want,” said McEwan last night. “He is a per fect flower of the West Point line system. He understands thorough ly our style of line play and should be an expert instructor. He is a wonderful fellow with the most contagious laugh I ever hoard. When Ellinger laughs the whole world laughs with him. I expect him here Saturday. He was my choice for the job as head line coach.” Ellinger' comes from Harrisburg, Penn. He weighs approximately 190 pounds and is still full of the same energy that he displayed in college, and with the added experi ence from the professional field. Beinhart, who will coach basket ball and baseball, left an athletic record at Oregon that has been ex celled by few others. He played quarterback on the football team (Continued on page three) MILLER AND MALCOLM REGRET CLOSED DOOR TO FACULTY MEETINGS A. S. U. O. Head Hopes Staff Will Reconsider Motion; Emerald Editor Advocates Full Reports of Sessions “Personally, I am very sorry from the viewpoint of the Emerald,” said Edward Miller, editor of the Oregon Daily Emerald, when asked his opinion of the action of the fac ulty in voting down the motion pro posed by Dean H. Walker, dean of men, to let a certain number of students sit in at faculty meetings. “News stories of faculty meet ings, coming as they do second hand, are often garbled in the tell ing, There is usually something wrong in the way these stories are printed,” continued the editor. “If a representative from the Emerald could attend the meetings; a repre sentative who would keep the con fidences desired by the chairman of the meeting, the result would be that full and accurate reports of faculty meetings could be given to students and faculty. “I also think that the students have a right to know what is going on concerning our welfare,” said Miller, “And I can’t see why the faculty should object to a group of student body members as listeners, not as participants.” Walter Malcolm, president of the student body, said of the same mat ter: “As I understand it, the fac ulty rejected the idea because they considered it too radical a change in policy to make at this time; that they were holding up all such changes until after a president is appointed. “In my opinion that attitude is justified,” he said, “But it doesn’t alter the fact that the original cause was perfectly just, and I be lieve that such aetion should be taken at some time in the near future.” Anna DeWitt, president of the Women’s League, said that she really didn’t see what good such a proposition would do if the stu dents were allowed to attend fac ulty meetings. ^ “I don’t quite see how it would bring the faculty and students any closer together,” she said, “But I would surely like to attend one of their meetings.” When asked what she thought of the action of the faculty, Deloris Pearson said she had not consider ed the matter and had no opinion on the subject. SENIOR BOLL WILL BE REPLICA OF OLD ARABY Plans Near Completion; Rolf Klep, Chairman “Bomance, languor, mystery . . . The splendor that is Araby.” « * * This is a very condensed descrip tion of the spirit that Saturday night will steal soft-shod to the Woman’s building, drape the drab walls of the gymnasium with float ing veils, hang from the ceiling, swinging lamps that cast glowing colors of rubies, emeralds and topaz into the dusky corners, spread a banquet table with rich foods and spicy drinks, bid his muusicians beat dreamy melodies from their pipes and tom-toms, and then clap his hands and welcome the very modern mortals who will flock to enjoy for too a brief a while the charm of the ancient East. The Senior Ball, the most formal and elaborate dance of the year, was last year the topic of conver sation for many weeks after it took place. The idea carried out in dec orations was entirely different) from this year’s plan, calling upon the winter palaces of Bussia for its brightness and gaiety. This year the Senior class, through Bolf (Continued on page three) PHYSICAL EDUCATION MAJORS LOSE SPEEDY GAME TO STAFF Torrid basketball that brought the fans to their feet—if they were not already on their feet—featured in the game yesterday morning be tween the physical education ma jors, and the staff. The scintillat ing floorwork of the Spike Leslie, Harry Scott, Have Evans brand) wound up the spectacular but one sided game with the final count of 36 to 16. Billy Reinhart, bruised and rough ed his way through the last half and only escaped expulsion from the game by Referee Okerberg by the substitution of Dutch Widmer, appearing for the first time with a strangle “holt” on the local floor. Del Oberteuffer received round af ter round of applause upon his ap pearance and played an uniisual floor game—he was on the floor most of the time. “The refereeing was ° terrible,” said Swede Westergren who wit nessed the game and passed judg ment on it. “Okerberg played a fine game for the staff.” “The best refereeing I have ever seen on the lccal floor,” said Ok erberg after the game. At the beginning of the second half Captain Read of the majors jerked his lineup which had been playing the game and sent in the shock troops to withstand the hold ing and rough tactics of the staff and Billy Reinhart in particular. It was all in vailf—light vein. The majors were obviously off color— missing pot shot after pot shot with alarming regularity. Four teen men in all were substituted by the majors to no particular avail. “Pug” Toole, lived up to his old cognomen of “Scrap Iron” and scrapped a snappy game at center. Parks of the Majors also starred with no points. Boyer and Kuhn led the scoring with five each. There was no stopping the baf fling passing and dribbling of Harry Scott—playing a stellar game. He was hither, thither and yon and was an inspiration to hie team mates, on every play. All fourteen of the majors were .stars. Leslie in spite of his avoirdupois sneaked under the basketball for several pot shots. He was a stone wall on defense. For the brief space of the game the two dozen players twinkled like the milky way. The staff has settled back on its haunches as the champions of the inter-department league. UNIVERSITY OFFICIALS DENY IL P. REPORT No President Elected Yet, | Says Board of Regents University officials, when shown an Associated Press dispatch from Raleigh, N. C., stating that Dr. Harry Woodburn Chase, president of the University of North Caro lina, was on his way to Oregon to consider a proposal to be president of the University, yesterday re fused to either deny or affirm the report. They pointed out that no selec tion had been made by the board of regents,' and that no definite time for an election has been set. Mrs. George T. Gerlinger, of Portland, member of the board of regents committee on the selection of a president, who is on the cam pus, also declared no election had been held. “There are no partic ulars to give out now—there is nothing to say,” she said. Dr. Chase, who is regarded as one of the leaders among young American educators, has been pres ident of the southern university since T919. OREGANA WANTS ALL PERSONNEL CHANGES Drastic measures are being taken by Oregana editors to get copy for certain parts of the book so that work will not be held up. Heads of new organizations who desire space in the book should pre pare the names of their members immediately and turn them in to the Oregana office. Any changes in personnel in organizations who already have space reserved should be turned in also. Kennell-Ellis studio will not be able to take any more sittings this year for the Oregana pictures and students who have had their photos taken and have not filled out the j card at the studio for the organi zation they belong to should call at the studio and do so at once. Work will start this week on the picture mounting and such sec tions as campus snap shots will be handled first so if anyone has a clever picture they should turn it in to Ellen McClellen this week. rOOTBALJi CANDIDATES All candidates for all positions report on Hayward field at 3:30 today. There will be no prac tice on Saturday according to an announcement issued from ; Captain McEwan’s office. Any ' men who have not turned out this week report today. CHINESE IDEALS AND CIVILIZATION UPHELD IN TALK Dr. Copeland, Author And Agricultural Expert, Is Speaker at Assembly Code of Ethics Explained as Inherent Training in Lives Of Orientals The undergraduate ear, accustom ed to the exhortations of prophets of modernity, yesterday listened at the assembly to Dr. Edwin Bing ham Copeland, plant physiologist, who for 40 minutes upheld the Chi nese ideal of conservatism, rever ence for the past, and moral edu cation. The nature of the message brought by Dr. Copeland was in such utter contrast to the current modernistic belief in progress, cour age, freedom and individual inter pretation of morality that it was impossible to grasp it all at once. Tracing the Chinese civilization since the dawn of history, Dr. Cope land who has spent many years in the Philippines in detail research work, told of the beginning of the Chinese race and#the influence of agriculture on the Chinese culture. He told of the struggle the Chinese had in reclaiming the ground and flattening it for' the rice fields and the influence these closely connect ed fields had upon the density of population in China, which necessi tated a rigid code of morals. % Chinaman Always a Chinaman “Before the dawn of history the Chinese developed a code of morals. After the beginning of history, the Chinaman reached a point when there was leisure and the moral code was modified into an ethieal code. Since this time universal training in morals has made an in herent difference in ,the Chinaman. When a Chinaman comes to Amer ica as a youngster and spends his whole life here, he may learn to appreciate our culture, but, until he dies, he lives a Chinaman. This goes to prove that there may be ethics which by training will con trol' man until he dies,” Dr. Cope land said. ' • “Conservatism has justified it self by its results,” Dr. Copeland maintained. “Of aTT peoples, the Chinese are the most numerous and theirs has been and is the most en during civilization. We should givo the strongest endorsement to anything that has stood the test of time,” Dr. Copeland said. “We should respect, old customs just be cause they are old. Solution Througn unmcaxion “Exclusion of the Chinese from our country will work only while we ean make it work. Exclusion does not free us from competition. Neither can be avoid it by con quering China ns numerous others have done. China absorbs her eon querers. Preparation for competi tion must be by the perfection of a moral code of our own which will be binding on all. By the unifica tion of our ethics we must look for the survival of our race if we are going to look for it at all.” Dr. Copeland was not at all hopeful that the white race would survive when it once came into real com petition with the Orient, as it must soon do. Janet Pierce, accompanied by Daisy Parker at the piano, sang two numbers “Birthday” and “Won’t You Come Right In,” at the opening of the assembly. Dean Henry D. Sheldon introduced the speaker. SOCIETIES TO SUPPORT ALL-CAMPUS DANCE ° Kwama, Thespians, and Grakos are joining with To-Ko-Lo an all - campus jitney dance which will be given at the Campus Shoppe, Sat urday afternoon, from 2:30 to 5:30. The dance is the first all-campus affair to be attempted by any of the honor societies and they are backing it to the limit. The newly pledged freshmen in To-Ko-Eo will be required to bring a date as well as the active members, others may bring dates as they wish. i RELIEF PLANS FOR INFIRMARY ARE DISCUSSED Building Crowded to Limit, And Facilities Inadequate, Officials Declare Conditions Terrible, Say Students Confined During Epidemic of Mumps By ROBERT MAXWELL Realizing the acuteness of tho university’ infirmary situation, plans are being discussed for relieving conditions, according to Dr. Fred N. Miller, University physician. It is not yet known what relief measures will be used, but steps have been taken to secure the serv ices of an additional nurse to assist the present staff of two. Means to securing additional space for pati ents are also under consideration. “We have not a modern infirm ary and in case of a serious epi demic it would be inadequate,” Dr. Miller said. “We have not yet reached our absolute limit, and by utilizing all spaco in the building, necessitating the removal of all but mump patients, we would be able to handle 10 more cases.” Outside Hospital Considered Asked about the possibility of securing space in city hospitals for University patients-with contagious diseases, Dr. Miller said that only the Mercy hospital would bo able to take care of a few eases at the present time. Under normal conditions the in firmary is well able to handle cases of illness, the doctor pointed out, the only objection of students being the unattractiveness of the build ing. The two buildings used are not even fair residences, and stu dents hesitate to take advanta*ge of the hospital treatment unless they are forced to do so by the ser iousness of their illness. Kitchen Now Used At present the isolation ward is filled to capacity and even the kit chen is being used. Additional eases will have to be placed in the newer building which is also being rapidly filled. Campus physicians hope that the epidemic will stop before they reach the limit of housing facilities, but as more pati ents are being received daily, there is no means of knowing when the spread will bo checked. So far the cases have been lim ited to members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi Gamma Delta fra ternities, but as there is no state quarantine law regarding mumps, there is no means of closing the houses, according to Dr. Miller. The germ, he said, may be carried on the breath by persons who are not yet ill. Three Nurses Employed By securing an additional nurse the campus medical authorities hope to relieve to some extent the work of the two women who are now left alone to care for 22 patients. A student who was recently re leased from the infirmary after having the mumps declared that conditions were “terrible.” “The building was filled to ca pacity," ho said, “and the crowded conditions were disgusting. The two nurses did all they could, work ing day and night. They certainly need and deserve some assistance. Pest House “Old Shack” “The pest house is an old shack of five rooms connected by open doorways. This makes isolatfoin impossible. Heating is furnished by two old wood stoves, and it is imi possible to keep an even tempera ture. The place is more like an army hospital than an infirmary. If I am ever sick again I certainly won’t go there.” ° Two new patients received yes terday are Veil Flynn, Phi Gamma Delta, and John Woodsworth, Sig ma Alpha Epsilon. , NOTICE ! Student body tickets must ab ; solutely be presented at game I tonight. | Armory Seating Rearranged for Game Tonight; Doors Open 6:30 Seating arrangements at the Eu gene armory have been completely made over and a new system will bo put into effect tonight, to con tinue until the end of the season, according to action of the execu tive council last night. The entire section on the west side of the main entrance will be used for reserved seats from the playing floor to tho wall? The sec tion will be 33 seats long and 12 rows to the wall. Seats formerly reserved in front of the other see tioris have been transferred to this new location. There will be no change in the reserved scats in the balcony. The section on tho right side of the main entrance has been reserved for Order of the O, and next to this section the band will be seated. Forty lettermen and about 00 bands men will be seated next to the playing floor in the seats and those immediately behind, which were formerly reserved. The women’s section on the west end and the rest of the floor will be the same. The revision will concentrate the rooters in one group, and was made at the suggestion of Yell King Fred Martin to facilitate yolling. The armory doors will be opened tonight at 6:30, and the game will start at 7:30, allowing plenty of time for students to find seats. The band will bo there, seated and ready to play at 7 o’clock, to entertain the crowd for the half hour before the game. Five blankets will bo presented to four football men and one base ball man between halves of tho game. Robort Mautz,' captain of tho 1025 football team will re ceive a blanket with one captain’s star and two others for his work on the team. Blankets for three years work will be given to Ken neth Bailey, Louie Anderson and Jack Bliss in football, and Herbert Brooks in baseball. The awards will be made by Walter Malcolm. SIGMA XI TO ATTEND CORVALLIS MEETING The Sigma Xi club at .0. A. C., has extended an invitation to tho University of Oregon chapter of Sigma Xi to bo guests at a meet ing in Corvallis, March 12. The executive committee of tho organi zation here has authorized Dr. W. P. Boynton, secretary, to accept tl),o invitation. F. W. Richards and E. P.

Fresh assailants jvill be thrown against the defense contrived by Coach Reinhart when a pack of marauding Vandals from Moscow will endeavor to wrest a victory from the hands of the decrepit var sity hoopsters on tho armory floor tonight. The Oregon mentor has called for liniment and tape, and will shove his first lineup into the fray aided by all the support bandages and medicine can give. Several of the first-stringers are in poor condition for a tough battle, but a capable array of reserves will be edging forward on tho bench, eager for service. Flynn is Out “Limy” Flynn, sub-forward will have to do his edging toward the telephone, as he is in the infirm ary with mumps. In view of Idaho's long rest and its reputation for accuracy in con necting with the hoop, many fans will go to tonight’s fracas with the expectation of seeing Oregon's clean shirt front besmirched by Vandal mud. Reinhart’s crew of casaba cagers can not be prema turely counted out though—not by several yards of adhesive tape. Idaho has lost but one tilt this year—that to Oregon—and is con sidered a possible champion. The despoilers were coining like a har vest hand for dinner when the 1925 curtain rang down, and sports au thorities throughout tho Northwest picked them ns possible champions for this year.

A report of the faculty meeting of Wednesday afternoon carried this statement: “A motion to be introduced by Dr. George Rebec, dean of the graduate school, pro poses that academic requirements for entrance in the University be the same, regardless of the school or department to be entered, and that they be the highest now re quired.” Dr. Rebec explained that this meant that “a standard for en trance shall be fully equivalent for all students irrespective of the place or school from which they come.” Last spring a faculty motion was passed refusing admittance to the University of students from other states who could not fulfill the j academic requirements for admit tance to the universities of their own state. This new motion, ac cording to Dr. Rebec, will tend to prevent poorly prepared students from this state from entering the University. Dr. Rebec’s idea is that the Mis souri system shall be applied over a student’s four year period in high school, and that only those at tabling a IV average or above, along with the recommendation of the superintendent of that school that tho student iB of the type that will best profit by four years in college, shall be admitted to the University. He stated, however, that any stu dont who did not come up to this standard would be admitted pro viding he passed an entrance ex amination. This system, he explained, while requiring a certain standardiza tion among high schools in regard to grading, will not mean that high school students must take cxaetly the same number of hours of any particular subject or subjects in order to be eligible for admittance to the University. But it will mean a raising of standards among high schools, since the superintend ents will be held responsible for recommending only those students for entrance who are of the type that will be best adapted to the in tellectual requirements of the Uni versity. As a result of such a measure, in spection and rating of high schools throughout the state will be neces sary, but, Hr. llebee points out, that is just what is done in those states with a university of any standing. The direct result desired for this action is that it will cut down the number of students unfitted for uni versity work—either because of in ability or becauso of a lack of real interest in intellectual pursuits.
