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

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

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

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

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

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.

FEW CLASSES CUT IN CAREER
OF BUSY A. S. U. O. 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.
