VOLUME XXVII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 6. 1926 NUMBER 7E£ I PLAN ADOPTED FOR TEMPORARY MUMPS ANNEX Move Will Take Place Only If New Cases Reported, Says Dean J. F. Bovard Action to be Taken Toward Enlarging Infirmary To Provide Isolation Room By ROBERT MAXWELL Plans have been completed to utilize a well-equipped resi dence on the campus for mump patients if the present facilities prove insufficient, Dr. John F. Bo vard, dean of the school of physi cal education, announced last night. Provisions have been made, he said, whereby the students who oc cupy the house will vacate the building in case the need for addi tional bed space arises, and no con fusion is expected to accompany the change. “It seems to me that Dr. Miller and his staff have done well with *.the poor facilities they have had at their command,” Dean Bovard said. “It was our plan even before the present epidemic of mumps, to build a modern annex to the infirmary, providing sufficient space to han dle all cases. It would have doubled our present capacity, and it was so arranged that there would be ten isolation rooms. We would then be able to give up the use of the present pest house. New Infirmary not Possible “There is not enough money available at the present time for an infirmary,” he continued, “and we had hoped that possibly some one realizing our need would en dow an infirmary. As ‘matters stand, I have thought it better to get along with inadequate facili ties until a good bhilding can be had, rather than construct a make shift that would have to do for a period of years, and would im - prove little on present conditions.” Dr. Bovard said that the present epidemic made it necessary to eith er quarantine several houses or to use the isolation ward at the in firmary, which has not been used for some time and is in a delapida ted condition. The method being used was adopted to allow as many students as possible to continue their work in the University. New Nurse Coming A nurse to assist the present staff was expected to arrive from Portland last night. With additional space provided in case of emer gency, the situation has become less serious. However, it is ex pected that plans for the annex to the present infirmary will be push ed forward as soon as possible. An inspection of the isolation ward yesterday showed that the building is overcrowded. The cots (Continued on page four) Artists, Scribes Will Put Aside Clay and Paper for Caging Tilt If a man spanks his own son, what does that make him champion of? Surely, nothing more than his own household. When the announcement was seen in yesterday’s Emerald that the physical-education profs were sitting secure with the inter-de partment basketball championship, a mighty wail went up to the un offending skies from the journalism building and its sister edifice, the school of architecture. The quin tets representing these schools want it definitely understood that the pedagogues are champions of noth ing but the men’s gym, and hold that distinction only by virtue of not having met today’s combatants. The scribe five, which will meet the architect quintet this afternoon in the men’s gym at 3:00 p. m., has a firm claim on the campus championship. Among their victims is the powerful law school team, which in turn toppled the geologists. Both of these latter outfits used the profs for practice material, while the scribes and architects be lieve they can get better workouts from their own second-stringers. All roads will lead to 13th and University street this afternoon. Slide rules, drawing paper, com passes, and modeling clay will be idle while the architect adherents root for their team. The journalists will likewise abandon copy paper, shears, typewriters, and waste bas kets, while they watch their hope fuls try to paste the bridge-playing bridge-builders. WIDELY-KNOWN ARTIST TO APPEAR THURSDAY Belgian Organist Honored in Two Countries Charles M. Courboin, famous Bel gian-American organist, who will appear in the school of music audi torium February 11, was at one time the organist of the Antwerp cathedsal. At that time he was made a Chevalier of the Order by the Crown of Belgium in recogni tion of his great musical ability. Since 1919 he has been guest or ganist at the Wanamaker store, in which is located the largest organ in the world, where during the first season alone he gave 27 re citals, playing 275 different com positions from memory before ap proximately 130,000 persons. During the past few seasons, Courboin has appeared three times with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Stokowski, with the Detroit Symphony under Gabrilowitsch, the New York Philharmonic, and Am erican Orchestral society. In all of these appearances he was ac claimed with enthusiasm as one of the greatest of musicians. Stokow (Continued on page four) DR. E. B. COPELAND DESCRIBES NATIVE STUDENT IN PHILIPPINES “The best opportunities for Am erican college graduates in the Philippines are now in the commer cial houses,” said Dr. Edwin B. Copeland, formerly dean of the College of Agriculture of the Uni 'versity of the Philippines. Dr. Copeland is here to give the dedi catory address today at Condon hall, and he spoke at assembly last Thursday. Americans were former ly used in nearly all the more im portant positions, but now the na tive Filipino is supplanting them. “We began with a straight Am erican faculty at the University,” he continued, “But now most of the faculty are Filipinos. The presi dent of the University of the Filip pines, Senor Palma is a native. i Seventy members of the faculty of the College of Agriculture are Fili pinos, and three are Americans. The Mining Bureau of the govern ment is now completely Filipino: the American has no chance there.” This change in the personnel of the University and government de partments is due to the type of education given the Filipinos. Ac cording to Dr. Copeland, the school system extends everywhere in the Islands. “The American soldiers were the first teachers,” he said. “Within five years after our oc cupation of the Islands, the attend ance grew from nothing to 400,000. The University of the Filippines has 5000 students. In addition to this government supported university, there are a number of excellent Catholic schools. Santo Tomas is one of these and is conducted by the Do minicans. The University is the oldest university under the United States government. Dr. Copeland declared the Fili pino student to be well versed in languages. He is able to speak his own native dialect, Spanish, Eng lish, and usually one other langu age. He said, “The study of Ger man or Latin, although in most cases of no practical value to the student, makes them, because of their characteristic accuracy of ex pression, a splendid medium for the teaching of. English. The study of these two languages will provide a drill in the accurate use of English as important as the study of Eng lish itself. Well-trained Filipinos have a beautiful use of English. SENIORS HOSTS TO ALL CAMPUS AT BALL TONIGHT Arabic Decoration Scheme Creates Weird, Colorful And Exotic Atmosphere Grand March to Start 8:30; Spicy Foods and Punch Will be Served Dancers Believing that a college graduate should be as versed in the art of clever entertaining as he is in sci ence, languages, economics or busi ness administration, the senior class will effectively display its knowl edge of the former in that most costly and gorgeous affair of £he year, the Senior Ball. With years of experience in playing host be hind them, the seniors will suc cessfully prove their wisdom and cleverness to a campus that has long anticipated the event. Eolf Klep, chairman of the deco rations, says the worlt is progress ing rapidly. “Never before have I seen such splendid and whole hearted co-operation by members of a class, and the rapidity with which the painting and sewing is pro gressing is due to this willingness o£ the class to chip in and help,” Klep declared. Lanterns to Furnish Light The lighting, under the charge of Frank Eoehr, is by far the most exotic and colorful that has ever been used at a campus function. Fifty huge swinging lanterns will enrich the semi-darkness of the large gymnasium, with synchronized yet weird combinations of colors.” The walls and ceiling will be transformed into a graceful suc cession of folds of soft veils, and aDout tne enure room win do run a hand-painted frieze over 300 feet in length, painted in the most bar baric reds and blues. The. pro grams will carry out the Arabian idea in both color and design. A light supper will include the deli cate and spicy dishes that are ap propriate to the occasion. Through out the evening, punch, the color, of rare old rvine, will refresh the dancers. The feature, according to those "who have reviewed it, is as artistic and entertaining as only professional talent can make it, and the music, which will be furnished by the Oregon Aggravators, will have an effective setting. While the dance is strictly for mal, corsages for women are not in vogue, by order of the Pan-Hellenic council. A grand march, which will start the dance, is scheduled for eight-thirty. The few remfiiniing tickets may be obtained by phoning Douglas Wilson, at 660. Committees Named The committees for the dance are as follows: general chairman, Clarence Toole, assistant, Geneva Smith; decorations, chairman, Rolf Klep, Wayne Leland, Constance Cleaver, Imogene Lewis, Lester Chaffee; patrons, chairman, Mar garet Stahl, Louise Inabnit, Bea (Continued on page four) BANQUET TO HONOR VISITING DIPLOMAT Between 40 and 45 persons are expected to be present at the ban quet to be given Saturday noon at the Osburn hotel in honor of Julian Arnold, American commercial at tache to Peking. The luncheon will be given by the staff of the school of business administration and Pan Xenia, honorary foreign trade fra ternity. Harry C. Hawkins, profes sor in the school of business admin istration, will preside. Mr. Arnold will only be in Eu gene between trains, so that his •hosts must make the most of their opportunity, Mr. Hawkins said. Therefore, Mr. Arnold’s address will be the only one given at the banquet. It is hoped that the half hour following may be devoted to questions and discussion. Mr. Arnold is now'on his way to Peking to resume his diplomatic duties after a leave of absence. He has had broad diplomatic experience i in China and is the author of var ious books and articles relative to conditions in that country. Random Bullets of Chinese Army Lodge in House of Oregon Grad A fine new pongee window cur tain pierced and torn by shot; a bullet which lodged in a door after missing the head of the liead-of the-house by iirehes—these are sou venirs of the recent fighting in Tientsin which are in the posses sion of Mr. and Mrs. Donald D. Smythe, graduates of Oregon in the class of 1919. Mr. Smythe, who is head of the department of geology in the Peiy ang University, in Tientsin, was in the house at the time it was spray ed with stray bullets from the run ning fight in progress between ri val Chinese armies. Mrs. Smythe (Erma Zimmerman) was in the British concession at the time, out of range. Nows of these exciting events of several weeks ago is contained in letters just received by Eunice Zim merman (’22) and Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Zimmerman, parents of Mrs. Smythe. TRACK COMPETITION STARTS AT 2-30 TODAY Varsity and Frosh Cinder Burners Will Race Track competition for varsity and freshman candidates will begin this afternoon at 2:30 on Hayward field track and will bring 00 men into action in the five events which are scheduled to be run off. The oval on Hayward field was wet and partly covered with water last evening. If Jupe Pluvius empties any more buckets of rain on the track, the meet will not be held. “If it is not raining tomorrow afternoon, I expect every man out there for the meet in the five events,” said Bill Hayward. “All men will meet at the outdoor gym nasium at 2 o’clock.” The competition meet which was scheduled for last Saturday was called off on account of the poor weather and the condition of the men. This starts the early train ing period off with a bang and will continue with keener competi tion each week end from now until the tryouts for the Stanford meet. The 75-vard dash for all varsity and freshmen will be run off in heats, and the best two men out of eaeh group selected for the finals.

VARSITY DEFEA TS VANDALS, 37 TO 17 DR.E.COPELAND WILL DEDICATE CONDONTONIGHT ‘Guests of Honor to Include | Son and Two Daughters Of Old Oregon Geologist The formal dedication of Condon hall will be held this evening at 7:30 in the geology lecture room of the building. Dr. Edwin Bingham Copeland, formerly dean of the col lege of agriculture, University of the Philippines, vyill deliver the ad dress on “Science and Everyday j Life.” Other speakers on the program in ] elude Dr. Warren D. Smith, who will give the introductory remarks, ! Dr. Edmund S. Conklin, who will ■ speak concerning the new psycho logy quarters, and Dr. Earl L. Pack ard, who will review the life and j works of the’ late Dr. Condon. Be-! sides these speakers the program calls for a tour of inspection of the ' building and exhibits. Among the guests of honor this ‘ evening "will be several of Dr. Con I don’s children. Herbert Condon, | comptroller of the University of Washington, a son, Mrs. Ellen Con ! don McCornack, of Eugene, a ! daughter, and Mrs. Robert Bean, a! : daughter, together with her lius ‘ band Judge Robert Bean of Port | land will comprise this group. Daughter Writes Preface i In the preface of one of Dr. Con don ’s books, which his daughter, j j Mrs. McCornack, edited, she wrote ! J of her father, Dr. Thomas Condon, j I “He is the pioneer geologist who,; by his own original research, caught | the first glimpse of Oregon’s oldest land as it rose from the ocean bed, I ho saw the first sea shells upon her beaches; watched the development of her grand forests; saw her first strange mammals feeding upon her | old lake shores; lie listened in im-, ; agination to the cannonading of | , her first volcanoes and traced the ; shower of ashes and the great j i floods of lava.” Condon Science Instructor Dr. Condon was the first science instructor to come to the Oregon ! campus, being engaged 50 years ago, when the University opened ! its door in 1870. The estimated cost of Condon hall j is $100,000, and it is the first unit | of a three-unit building included in the University building program to be completed at some future date. LATE FEE DEADLINE SET FOR TODAY NOON After Saturday (today) noon, no 1 student may pay his fees with the additonal late fee penalty, and any student who has a N. S. F. check against him at the cashier’s office should attend to it before tho same time or he will be classed along with those who have not paid their fees. h The late penalty will be charged those who have bad ehecks out. Any person who has net paid the necessary assessment will be drop ped immediately. There are only about 10 or 12 bad checks in the hands of the cashier, which is a very good record considering the large student body. DEAN ROBBINS TO TALK AT KIWANIS MEETING Dean E. C. Bobbins of the busi-' ness administration liepartment is to address a meeting of the Ki wanis club Monday. His talk will deal with the Retail Merchants’ convention to be held on the cam pus February 14 to 17. Dr. John F. Bovard, dean of the school of physical education warns all students to drink no town water that is not boiled until notified that it is safe. Coach Bohler, Cougar Cagers Coming Monday for Basket Tilt Coach Billy Reinhart’s maple courtiers will cut their next piece ef conference cake Monday night, when the Washington State Coug ars invade the campus for a hoop tilt, and it is to be hoped that the masticating and digesting will not be so hard as last night’s affair. The Staters meet Washington to n'igh’t at Seattle, perform here Monday, and face the 'Aggies at Corvallis Tuesday. Although the Pullmanites are considered weak, their roster, which contains many ipohomores, may possibly spring the rnexpected. A good line can be se cured on their ability by the result Df tonight’s scrap with the Huskies. Coach Bohler will bring five let termen, but most of them have oeen displaced in the first lineup by young blood. Koenig, Nollan, Schultz, Morgan, and Gehrko are the veterans, with Averill, Clay, Henry, Brumblay, and Edes the nov ices. Koenig, one of the cleverest cagers in the loop, is the only sure starter. He has been somewhat j handicapped by a slow start this, winter occasioned by* the W. S. C.! football jaunt to Hawaii during the j Dhristmsa holidays. The Cougars have done poorly' this season, losing to Montana, | Oregon, and twice to Gonzaga. They checked in a win over Montana in their first encounter. Coach Bohler has revolutionized his whole system of play this year. For years, he advocated a standing guard, but now he has combined the Oregon and O. A. C. style in a greatly improved five man attack. The great disadvantage of tho for mer system is that it enabled two defenders to gang up on a partic ularly dangerous attacker. WATER CONTAMINATION DECLARED NOT SERIOUS Students Warned to Drink Only Boiled Water T>r. John F. Bovard, dean of the school of physical education, does not think that the water situation is either serious or of a lasting nature. “Everyone should be sure and follow out instructions and drink only boiled water until fur ther notified,” ho warned. The high water lias caused it to be filled with a good deal of sedi ment and organic matter, and the man in charge of the pumping plant (Continued on page three) OREGON UNCORKS FAST OFFENSIVE IN UNEVEN TILT Weavy Passing Attack Hits Rocks in Game; Cougars Invade Campus Monday' Oregon (37) (17) Idaho Hobson (12).F....

By HAROLD MANGUM The Oregon hoopsters took a one sided walkaway from the Idaho cagers last night by a score of 37 to 17." The Vandals failed dismal ly to live up to advance notices. Their chief bid for glory was John ny Miles, a forward, who displayed a good eye for the basket. From the beginning of the scuf fle when Westergren scored a pret ty placement from side court to the closing toot when Jost scored from under the basket, the affair was so uneven as to bo almost uninterest ing. Tho visitors concentrated on a weary passing game and seemed to pay more attention to getting rid of the ball than caging it. In the first half, they took but 13 tries, and most of these were wild, desperate heaves. Varsity Shows Speed The Oregon offense chugged along merrily, tallying 13 points be fore the Gem Staters could score from the field. The varsity had a tremendous amount of stuff on the ball, often eluding the heavy Van dals by sheer speed. Every man uncorked excellent basketball, and the team functioned smoothly as a well-oiled turbine. Oregon led at half time, 20 to 7. The Vandals scored eight field goals in 34 attempts, while the Wobfcet shivered the not 17 times in 54 attempts. Oregon made three out of four tries from the gift line good, while the Idahoans could score but one in four efforts. Washington State will send her team against the varsity Monday night at 7:00 o’clock. Play by Play 7:30 Game began. Gunther fonl ed Reamer, who missed. 7:32 Westergren broke ice from side court.

SECRETARY In the busy four years of her college life, De Loris Pearson, sec retary of the A. S. U, O., and mem ber of innumerable committees, has not cut more than half a dozen classes. How does she do it T “I budget my time for every day in the week,” said Miss Pearson, showing a pad in her hand, closely written with schedules of classes, engagements, and study hours. “I never schedule a meeting when I have a class. If it is an import ant meeting, I go to class for part of the hour, at least, or see the in structor ahead of time and get ex cused. As for cutting classes—I have always found it more work to cut than not. It means running around looking up someone to find out what the assignment is and .getting hold of notes on the lec ture. “I get an assignment in one hour now where it used to take me two,” I she explained, “because I know I have to get it in just that time and when I had lots of time I just fooled around and didn’t get it j done.” [ She admitted that she did not have time to follow up independent reading in her history classes (Mias Pearson is a history major) or in contemporary literature and poetry as much as she should like. *»», she added laughingly, she didn't have time for afternoon movies. Outside activities, Miss Pearson thought, for the student who ia honestly interested in them, are an incentive to him and tend to luring' him into associaton with othera o1 the same type who have much in common, and whom he probably would not meet otherwise. “Activities do keep one busy— but I think people are happier when they aro busy. One can ' always find time for things they are act ually interested in. Of course, one mustn’t overwork. I think one at the reasons I have not missed many classes is due to the fact that I have good health.” She admitted that her schedule allowed for “dates” and some play time. Miss Pearson looks like the ener | 'getic and efficient young person , she is—but not too much so. She is charming and gracious, too, and ' her eyes have a sparkle as though ;she rather enjoyed living.
