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.

was the leader of all these move
ments, and it was through his pat
ience and hard work that the
buildings were completed, Mrs. Ger
iinger said.
“The regents of the University are
shock absorbers, as all of the peo
ple of the state come to ask about
the young people, but we believe
that the youth of today is fine and
will pass a better world to the
youth of tomorrow.”

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.
