VOLUME XXVII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13 1926 NUMBER 80 TRACK MEN HOLD TRAINING MEET THIS AFTERNOON Varsity And Freshmen To Compete in All Events In Intensive Work-out First String Material is Ex pected to Shaw up in Hayward Field Contest Track men limber up for the first time this Spring in the sche dule of training meets to the tune ■of the announcer’s megaphone and the trappings of a standard track meet with every event on the list ■today. The competition for both freshman and varsity starts prompt ly at 2:30 o’clock. The entire track turnout will compete. Out of the mass of material •which will lope, run, jump or throw on Hayward field this afternoon Bill Hayward will have to choose two teams— a varsity and a frosh. Although it is not a set rule, the men who chow up well in today’s "hard workout will probably be the ones who will make the spring trips. Hard Work to Start The fly-by-night track man has -disappeared. The hard work and -conscientious effort are the things that develop track men. Bill is a sticker for work. The distances have been cut down in the track -events which are first on the pro gram. The winter grind is coming to a close and with the date of the Stanford meet rapidly nearing, in tensive work practically starts with the turnout this afternoon. “Men who are not on the list can enter the events out on the track,” said Bill Hayward in re leasing the list of entries. “Some of the men will not be entered •because ' they have been pre vented from getting into condition by unavoidable reasons.” The oval on Hayward field is in the best of shape with a week’s rain loosening up the cinders and preventing packing. If the present weather continues the day will be ideal for close competition without danger of pulled muscles or other injuries.

GRADUATE STUDENT SEES SHORTCOMINGS IN LAWS FOR NATURALIZATION Christ Loukas, Sociologist, Studies Problems Of Americanization of Foreign Population in America “One of the unpardonable mis takes that Americanized Americans make is confusing the term Ameri canization with that of naturaliza tion, there ils nothing more errone ous than to consider every natural ized persons as Americanized, or to accept as a general proposition that a person not naturalized can not be Americanized,” is the opinion of Christ Loukas, Grecian, graduate student at the University of Oregon, who is preparing a thesis on the Social Aspect of Americanization for a master’s degree in sociology. “I have a feeling through per sonal experience that too much criticism has been attributed to the American by the foreign born and to the foreign born by the Ameri can,” explained Mr. Loukas, “Both have been forming opinions of the other and reaching conclusions with out sufficient basis. The foreign born can be made to understand American ideals better if he is pre pared for naturalization. The pres ent manner does not help him or the American. The foreign born must be made to want to become an American, not just for the opportunity to make more money or get a better job. Such a circumstance is a serious mistake, a wrong practice and against the principles of a true demoncracy. The feature of a de mocracy depends wholly on the ideals of its citizens.” The problem now, Mr. Loukas be lieves, is to find how the foreign born and the American can come to know each other better. To discov er the attitude of the American to ward the foreign born and the at titude of the foreign born toward the American, he is sending out questionnaires to various parts of the state and United States. He has prepared two questionnaire®, the one which is sent to the foreign born clearly states that it is not to be used for political reasons but as a means of improving present rela tions between Americans and for eigners. Some of the leading questions in this questionnaire are: Are you a naturalized American citizen? If you are not an American citizen, do you want to become one?. Among which classes of people do you find prejudice and misinterpretation of your country? Space is allowed af ter each question for the reasons for the answer given. The questions appearing in the questionnaire prepared to obtain American opinion and experience in regard to foreigners who reside in this country are related chiefly to personal likes and dislikes of the foreigner’s morals and manners, and the reason® for them. What are some of the things you like in a foreigner? Do you consider your nationality inferior to, equal to, superior to, any of these nationali ties in any way? In your opinion is the foreign born condemned more than the American born for his un social acts common perhaps among men, these are representative ques tions.

The east is being chosen now by Miss Florence E. Wilbur, head of play production. No definite date for the produc tion has been scheduled, however. This will be the first presenta tation of “Liliom” in the North west, although it was presented last summer in Hollywood, California. It was first produced in Budapest, Hungary, where it was received with enthusiasm. It was brought to America by the Theatre Guild, and was first staged in New York in 1921. “Liliom” is a suburban legend, including seven acts and a prologue. It is a combination of realism, low comedy, and a bit of melodrama. The play opens with a carnival scene at Budapest. The leading character, “Liliom,” is the “rough neck,” using the translation of the Hungarian. His friends call him “Liliom,” or the lily. He is the pet and pride of the merry-go-round group where he works a)s bouncer. Because of a robbery he has made, he stabs himself, goes to heaven, and returns 15 years later to spend an hour on earth. The heaven scene in the play is particularly fantastical. It depicts heaven as “Liliom” thinks of it, the police court. Other characters who take part in making up the person nel of the play are: Mrs. Muskrat, who owns the merry-go-round; Julie, the servant girl; Marie, lately from the country, and Lilom’s friend; Mrs. Hall under, Julie’s aunt; The Sparrow, who gets Lilom into trou ble; and the heavenly and earthly policemen. The beginning class in dramatic interpretation is working on the “Impromptu,” written by Nancy Wilson, the “Sheperd in the Dis tance,” by H. Hudson, and also an original pantomine written by members of Miss Wilbur’s begin ning dramatic interpretation class. OLD LIBRARY VOLUME RAVAGED BY WORMS Spanish Book on Display With Collection That book worms actually devour the printed page is no longer a ques tion of doubt. As proof of this statement, a rare old volume has been placed in a show case on the reserve floor of the University library. Its pagep have not been ravaged by the ambitious student, commonly CQnceded the name of book worm, but by the real worm. There are holes reaching through the entire content of the book and the cover is practically destroyed. It is a Spanish volume recently se cured by the library and is now on display with a collection of books chosen from the vault by Martha Spofford, of the continuations cata loguing department. “Herodoti,” printed at Frankfort in 1608, is displayed as a specimen of old type and white vellum bind ing. It is the gift of Dr. Richard H. Thornton, former dean of the law Ischool. There are two other gifts of Thornton in the collection, the works of Homer printed at Ba sile and a specimen of the famous Plantin press at Antwerp, printed in 1604 when it was managed by Moret. “School Dialogues,” by Samual B. Morse, printed in Boston in 1797, Miss Spofford pointed out as an interesting sample of early Am erican printing. It is a small book and is the only one in the case which has wooden covers. Another book she considered worthy of no tice is one entitled, “Of Education,' Especially of Young Men,” printed at the Theater, Oxford, in 1683. “Pierre Charron,” a small Elze vier, printed in Amsterdam in 1662, a first edition of “Descartes,” printed in 1656, and a book contain ing types of 1545, are also valuable specimens. The collection in the case will be changed quite frequently according to M. H. Douglass. The purpose of the display is to give the students an opportunity to see the books which are too rare to be put in cir culation. F. MORGUI SETS RUMAGE SHE DEADLINE DATE Material Due February 26; Women’s League Spon sors Affairs for Art Bldg. All Chairman and Members Of Committees Named; House Workers Listed February 26 has been set as the date for all rummage sale material to be in, as some time will be need ed for cleaning and pricing before the sale which will be given on March 6, to increase the fund for the Fine Arts building, according to Frances Morgan, chairman of the drive. The idea of the sale in which the entire student body will have a part, originated in the Wom en’s League, of which Anna De Witt is president. A representative has been chosen from each house to collect material from that organization and get it ready for the transportation com mittee, who will call for it. Every thing will be accepted, it is an nounced, as a large variety of wear ing apparel is wanted. Clothing will be cleaned and put in a wearable condition, where this is necessary, headquarters for the drive will be established at the Y. W. C. A. I Bungalow.

FIGHTING VARSITY FACES AGGIE FIVE FACULTY, TOWNS PEOPLE DISCUSS DELICIOUS LIFE Findings Committee Reports On Reasons for Lack of Interest in Churches Here The religious conference which ended last night with a banquet and discussion on the results of the find ings committee, was attended by prominent speakers and college stu dents. “The responsibility of teaching and directing the thoughts and lives of students is the greatest op portunity of this generation and its not taken seriously enough by the instructors,” said Dr. Eugh, profes sor of education at the University of Californa. Dr. Eugh believes that a student should have a purpose be fore coming to college, and that the results of his education are not go ing to be determined so much by courses as by pensonal contact with the instructors. Personal Contact Needed Several resolutions presented by M. H. Douglass, chairman of the findings committee, were adopted after a discussion. It was agreed that there is a necessity for personal contact be tween student and faculty, and one of the reasons advanced for the lack of this contact was that stu dents are afraid of being called “handshakers.” Both Catholics and Protestants went on record as favoring the co operation of each sect in the reli gious instruction of students. That the churches are not respon sible for the lack of interest among students in the church was agreed and the amendment to that effect was struck out. The cause of the religious indifference was attribu ted to the lack of interest of the student. A number of faculty and Eugene ministers advanced plans for devel oping the students’ religious inter est. Plans Advocated Prof. H. R. Douglass, advocated the bringing of men of national re putation through the endowed lec tureships. Rev. Prank Fay Eddy, believe,s the work may bo accom plished through faculty members. Reverend Bruce Giffen, Univer sity pastor, believes a school of re ligion fostered by the church with University credit given, could be established. Karl Onthank, executive sedye^ tary of the University, outlined the late President Campbell’s plan for a central building on or near the campus devoted to religious work at j the University, shared by all active religious agencies here. Other 'speakers on the program were Prof. Warren D. Smith, and Dr. H. D. Sheldon. FIFTEEN FAT FROGS POUT IN WIRE HOUSES Sulking at being in captivity in glass dishes away from their native haunts of ferns and Bwimming pools, fifteen fat polka-dot adorned grass frogs sit all day in a sort of stupor in their wire cage in Dr. Oscar Richardsons’ office in the zoology department in Deady hall. The frogs are being kept for fu ture Use in the department. They have been in their cage for two months and in that time have con sumed very little food, according to their owner, who explained that they can live two or three months between meals if each meal , is heavy. One day Mr. Richards caught a “Deady Bug,” so called I because its favorite haunt is Deady hall, and put it on one of the frog’s | backs. One of his neighbors grab- j bed the insect and struggled brave ly in an attempt to swallow it. The bug had a very stiff and probably unpalatable shell but was finally downed by the frog. Mr. Richard^ said that the reason the amphibians were so sluggish was because they were cold. In a warm tempera ture they become lively. Critic Compares New Rent Book by A. Blacker to Champagne “This book is as exhilarating as champagne however you take it," is the opening statement of a re view by Stuart Sherman on “The Diary of a Young Lady of Fashion, in the Year 1764-1765, Cleone Knox,” edited by Alexander Black er, a book recently added to the rent collection of the University library. “If my statement is a little am biguous,” Sherman adds, “so is the book, ambiguous and heady from the moment it enters one’s hand. Physically, it is a subtle combina tion of the elegant antique with the ultra-modern. Cleone is 19 and not at- all displeased to find herself devilishly attractive to men. The discreet editor in an introduction two pages long tells that Cleone Knox was an ancestor of his moth er’s born in 1744 at Castle Kearney, County Down, Ireland, the castle was (discreetly) burned in 1808.” “ ‘The Diary of a Young Lady of Fashion,’” Shorman concludes, “Is a sprightly and sparkling narrative of a pungent concreteness, tart, picturesque, dramatic and thorough ly well “sexed.” This book is something outside of. the ordinary not only in its content but in the binding, which is of green and gold gilt brocade. Y. W. SECRETARY CIVES CAUSE OE MATERIALISM Students Neglect Culture Believes Miss Helier “I find more students in the Northwest working their way through college. This is responsible for their materialistic viewpoint of life,” said Miss Elsie Heller, na tional [student secretary of the Y. W. C. A. for the Northwest, who is now on the University camp\is. “This view causes them to neglect the cultural and spiritual of life,” she continued, “they think they have not time for this. External conditions make slight differences in the makeup of the younger gen eration over the country.” Miss Hellor thinks that most stu dents should take more interest in academic life than they do; that more students should learn for the sake of learning. “The handicaps of college life today are the com plexities of the system and the com plexity of student lif^ as related to activity. The student is caught up in too much activity instead of hav ing time for thinking and real learning. Eesponses are being made against over organization and too much activity work and I heartily approve them,” Misp Heller de clared. The national student secretary does not think there is any differ ence in the young people of today from those of any other day. “What Ails Youth,” by Coe, sums up very well my opinion of the modern gen eration. Instead of criticising the young people themselves, so much,” Miss Heller concluded, “I think we should look more closely into the home and educational life of the day. ” JUNIORS PLAN PARTY AT WINTER GARDEN Beginning at ten o’clock this morning and continuing until noon, the Junior class, togged in cords and campus wear, will whirl about the floor of the Winter Garden on roller skates. At intervals stunts and features, planned by Marion Anderson and Virginia Keating will be provided. VETERAN LINEUP LEAVES, PRIMED FOR TITLE TILT Battle Decides Conference Leadership of Northwest, KOAC to Broadcast Plays Ton ight’s lineups: Oregon vs. O. A. CL Howard Hobson....f.Loris Baker Jerome Qunther....f.Duke Diwoky Boy Okerberg.c..James Pinkerton Algot Westergren..g.Bill Burr Charles Jost.g.. Bay Graap Subs: Oregon, Kiminki, Edwards, Murray, Beeney, Joy, Powers; O. A. C., Savory, Hartung, Mathews, Mercer. Officials: Hunter (Idaho) and Brooks (Portland). Oregon’s veteran lineup will faee O. A. C.’s reconstructed one to night in the Aggie gym at 7:30 t* decide the conference leadership. Never before in Northwest hoop history has a basketball gana caused the interest that tonight’s affair does, according to veteran sports followers. The teams are well-matched, and but one thing is certain—a perfect record will be smashed before the earth revolves again. Every available seat is sold out with not even standing room left. Thousands of rabid supporters of both contesting teams are marking time until tonight’s affair at Cor vallis. Thousands will pack the Aggie gym to the uttermost raf ters, thousands will moil outside the edifice to snatch the process of the battle as it is relayed to them from thoso in points of vantage, and still more thousands will glue radio re ceivers to their ears and listen in tently into the play-by-play account of the game launched into the air from Station KOAC. Rivalry Intense The most intense rivalry has al ways existed between the contest ing institutions. Starting with 1920, which really marks tho beginning of the “modern” basketball era, cold statistics show that Oregon has won nine tilts while tho Aggies were garnering eleven. The teams split fifty-fifty on their season series in 1920, 1923, and 1924. In 1921, the Oregonians trounced the Agriculturalists in three straight games, and tied a fourth 22 to 22. The following winter found the Beavers reversing the process, as they walked away with four straight. The 1925 season proved the most hectic. Each aggregation won one and lost one of the regularly sched uled contests, which put the two rivals in a tie for the Northwest conference and northern division titles, and a three game series was arranged to decide the winner. Hack team won on its opponent’s home floor, and a third and decisive game was necessitated. Tie Game Remembered This memorable fray, staged in Salem, will be long remembered by all who viewed it. Thousands have heard the tale of how the teams see-'sawed back and forth through two torturous halvess, and Oregon was finally nosed out, 27 to 26, when a well-aimed foul shot elected to rim the hoop instead of sinking inside it. If figures mean anything, Oregon has a considerable edge on tonight’s game. Here is the dope bucket. W I, Agst Oregon .8 0 163 O. A.
