Endowed Lectureship to be Considered for Bringing Religious Speakers Here Meeting will be Open to the Public; Program to be Completed Next Week A eonference of campus religious agencies to discuss plans and to try to work out a definite and unified program toward which all |th(j agencies may work is to bo held Thursday and Friday of next week in Alumni hall, it was announced yesterday by M. H. Douglass, Uni versity librarian, who with Henry D. Sheldon, dean of the school of education, is making arrangements for the eonference. The speakers at tho conference, with the exception of Professor C. E. Hugh, of the University of Cali fornia, and Colonel W. S. Gilbert, of Astoria, regent of the Univer sity, will be Eugene people, since tho idea is to try to work out a program that will best fit the needs of this institution. Represented at tho conference will bo students, faculty, some of tho religious work ers on the campus, and local min isters, both Protestant and Catho lic. Dinner to be Feature One of tho features of the pro gram will be a dinner given at 6:15 Friday evening in the Wom an ’s building. Dr. Rugh, who is to bo the guest of honor, lias been making a study of tho religious interests and the religious life as handled in various universities, especially those supported by tho state. Tho different phases of that subject will be discussed at the conference. Among the topics for discussion will be that of establishing an en dowed lectureship for the purpose of bringing in noted speakers from the outside to address tho students on religious problems. Such an en dowment amounting to $50,000 has been established at the University of California for some time, and it has brought such men as Emmerson, Fosdick, .lames Bryce, and Theo dore Roosevelt to that campus. An other question will be that of the advisability of developing courses along the line of religious educa tion at the University and whether or not credit should be given. An other possibility that will be dis cussed will be the construction of a building dedicated to the reli gious interests on the campus. Committee to be Chosen The plan of the conference is to organize a findings committee, which will digest the evidence turn ed in and work out recommenda tions ns to some of the things that might be done to improve the re ligious work on the local campus. This committee will be appointed !>v the faculty committee on re ligious and moral activities in con junction with representatives of the students and of the V. W. 0. A. and .the United Christian Work. Arrangements for the conference are not as vet completed, but Dean Sheldon expects to announce the pregram early next week. The meetings are to be open to tho pub lic. CHICAGO RIO STATION TO TEST FADING CAUSE A tout is to bo conducted by the Stewart Warner company, broad casting station WBliM, Chicago, February 9, 10, 11, to try and de tormino where '‘failing” occurs, according to 1’rof. II. G. Tanner, of the chemistry department. Tanner will conduct the test here, using his private radio equipment. Questionnaires to be used in the tests have been sent to colleges and universities over the country. The tests will be detailed and ox acting. The indicators on the ma chines will be the same on all three nights, in order that a close check may be made on weather condi tions and results. Signals are to be sent from Chicago at 8:35. 9:35 and 10:35 each night and will be of three minutes duration. There will also bo a three hour concert each night. The observations will be closely checked with weather maps and data already collected by the Rtowart Warner company, and it is hoped that a conclusion Will be reached concerning this condition of “fading” which has perplexed scientists. GIRLS ARE PRETTIER MRS. GERLINGER SAYS Regent Pictures Future Cam pus to Women Girls of today are much more at tractive than a generation ago, de clared Mrs. Irene Gerlinger, regent of the University, who addressed the Women’s League mass meeting yesterday afternoon. “In my college days girls wore collars from three to four inches high. On our dresses we had little trains which we carried over our arms, and we wore high-heeled pat ent leather slippers. Now the girls dress more sensibly, with short skirts, a tiny bit of rouge and sensible shoes. “Today young women are sensi tive about guidance; they wish to keep their mothers in the back ground, while in many ways the mothers could be of great help to them. In our day we had just as much freedom as you have now, but we didn’t discuss it so much. Mrs. Gerlinger told of the devel opment of the University from the time she became regent, 12 years ago, and then pictured a new cam pus, with a completed women’s quadrangle, fire and burglar-proof Pine Arts buuilding, enlarged sci ence halls and a new Library. Only $400,000 has been spent on buildings during the 40 years of University life up until 12 years ago. Since then a number of build ings have been erected. In 1917 Hendricks Hall was built, and in 1980 money was appropriated for Susan Campbell Hall. The Woman’s building appropriation of $350,000 was made in 1920. President Prince L.

Patronize the Emerald Advertisers WRESTLERS LEAVE ON NORTHERN TRIP Team to Meet Idaho And Washington State Coach Earl “Dutch” Widmer and his crew of varsity wrestlers left yesterday afternoon on a four-day northern trip during which Oregon meets the Idaho grapplers Satur day afternoon and Washington State, Monday afternoon. All men making the trip are in experienced except Oxford and Betzer who are from last year’s freshman team. In the Oregon Ag gie meet Betzer and Oxford show ed skill, but they could not over come their experienced opponents. Idaho, Oregon’s first opponent, has participated in one conference meet which they lost to the Wash ington State Cougars, 46 to 28. Both Betzer and Oxford should win their matches in this meet. The contest with Washington State next Monday afternoon will be the hardest of the trip. The Cougars appear to be the most likely team to defeat the Aggies. I Coach Widmer believes. Wash ington State, under the coaching of Coach Whicker, has won two matches, one against Idaho and one against the Spokane T. M. C. A. Men making the trip are: Charles Heck, 125-pound class; Burl Betzer, 135-pcmnd; LeEoy Oxford, !145 pound; William Owsley, 158-pound; and Ed Grant, 175-pound.
