VOLUME xxvn UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 26, 1926 NUMBER 8ff Oregon Gets Even Break in Debate Meet Negative Wins at Moscow While Washington Triumphs Here Campus Contest Lost By Unanimous Vote Idahoans Defeated By 2 to 1 Count rpHE University of Oregon varsity ^debate teams divided honors in the annual tri-state meet last night, winning xrom the Idaho squad at Moscow 2 to 1, and losing to -Washing ton here 3 to 0. Jack Hempstead and Mark Taylor, (negatives, /repre sented the Univer sity against Ben Mahoney and L. S. Simmons of Idaho. ^ Dudley uiarK ana Jack Hempstead Max Eobinson sup ported the affirmative on the cam pus against William Larkin and Angelo Pellegrini. “No future provisions have been made for the air forces,” said Dud ley Clark in his opening argument, ■“as existing conditions do not al low an equal understanding by war department authorities.” Air Service Inferior He also outlined the present in feriority of the air service, explain ing that it was hampered by lack k of interest on the part of the army and navy arid in 1 having only obso- 1 lete planes. Clark | and Bobinson in theii affirmative arguments favor ed a single con trolling depart ment, declaring | that it would eli minate inefficien- ™ cy and the need- Mark Taylor less expense now prevelant. Tremendous expense and “red tape” would be logically reduced by adopting a centralized control, stated Eobinson. Admitted rivalry between the army and navy results in lack of harmony in functioning, while un der the advocated system a greater co-ordination would be arrived at, emphasized Clark. Investigations Unfavorable “Not one of the numerous in vestigation committees has favored the acceptance of the pian advo cated by the affirmative,” said An gelo Pellegrini, of the Washington negative squad. The army and navy will be de prived of control of planes, unity of command, and direct control, stated the negative, if the affirma tives’ plan is followed. Control by t a single head had previously been tried and discarded, asserted the negative speaker. “Futhermore,” Pellegrini empha sized, “it would not be humanly possible^ to find one man totally unprejudiced to act as head of the department.”' Errors Harmless Actual instances -of co-operation between the army and navy in use of planes were cited by William Larkin, second negative speaker. He also explained that the present occasional overlapping of the two departments is not fundamentally harmful. In the rebuttals, the neg ative attacked the affirmative on lack of substantiation of points, stating that insufficient data was advanced to justify the adoption of the single defense department. Y. W. C. A. Will Have Girl at Conference Dorothy Delzell, a former stu dent of the University, who is now working in Chicago, has been chosen by the T. W. C. A. cabinet as a representative of Oregon at the na tional convention of Young Wom en’s Christian Association delegates which will be held in Milwajikie, Wisconsin, April 21 to 27. All Y. W. C. A. in the United States will send delegates. A part of each day is reserved for sepa rate student sessions. Miss Delzell who was prominent in Y. W. C. A* work while on the campus plans to re-enter the Univer sity next fall. Charge of University Extravagance in Yearly Expenditures Disproved Statistics of Comptroller Indicate Three-Fourths of Fund Pays Professor’s Salaries By CYLBEET McCLELLAN 6<rT,HE University of Oregon and the Agricultural College should show some dividends to the tax payers of Oregon for the amount of cash they take away from them. Also they should be willihg {to make an accounting of that cash.” This statement is quoted from a j communication which appears else where in this issue. Dividends to the taxpayer for his investment in education was dis cussed in yesterday Is article. In regard to accounting for the cash received, the report of the comp troller for the year ending Septem ber 30, 1925, which contains this information in minute detail, is on file with the secretary of state in Salem and is available to the public. The report is far too voluminous to perm'it of publication in this article but its major points will be brought out and an attempt made to clarify any questions which might arise. Eeceipts for the fiscal year refer red to were $1,008,925.31, made up of $862,231.46 from the millage tax, $96,462.39 from student fees, $43, 001.50 from the TJ. of O. printing account, a revolving fund not avail able for general expenses, $2,200.00 from Villard interest, and $5,029.96 from the land fund interest. Nearly three-fourths of this mil lion dollar fund—$727,384.23— was paid out in salaries, of which$501, 530.74 was for instructor’s salaries, the balance for administration, op eration of the physical plant, and general university expense. Build ings constructed and land purchased accounted for $118,030.81, and the remaining $163,000,000 was expend ed for supplies, traveling expenses mainly in connection with extension teaching, publications, maintenance and repairs, and books and equip ment. Salaries Compared University records are sokeptthat nothing is paid out without a defi nite record of the transaction. All this detail is available, to those (Continued on page two) I Rummage Sale Material Will be Collected Today Goods to be Sold March 6 Under A. S. U. O. At Public Market Material for the rummage sale will be collected from each living organization on the campus this afternoon, under the direction of Frank Ball, chairman of the trans portation committee. Each house is expected to have a contribution since this is the only chance the students, as a whole, will have to show their appreciation of the ef forts of the University in erecting the proposed, fine arts building, says Frances Morgan who is general chairman of plans for the -sale. The sale which will be held on March 6, in the public market, will be conducted by students and it is hoped will net a large sum to aid in the construction of the build ing. The idea of the student body helping in this way originated in the Women’s League, and was ap proved by Mrs. George L. Gerlinger who has charge of raising funds for the building, which will be started next year. Each Student Urged to Help Ted Tainba made an appeal to the students in assembly yesterday, explaining the necessity for a new building, since the present fine arts building is inadequate and has been condemned, and urged that each student donate at least one article to the sale. Kepresentatives at each house must have all material ready for the collectors today. Pep talks will be given at lunch today at each living organization on the campus to arouse enthusiasm for the project, according to Fred West, associate chairman. Stu dents who will speak are Frank Ball, Jimmy Johnson, Bill Powell, Paul Clark, Ed Crawley, Bob Fos ter, Bob Love, Bob Gardner, Ward Cook, Clarence Toole, Jim Fore stel, Bob Hunt, Don Jeffries, Law rence Armand, Benoit McCroskey, George Shade and Boy Herndon. Registrar Must Have All Local Addresses Despite repeated efforts on the part of officials of the registrar’s office to obtain the Eugene ad dresses of certain persons who are registered in the University they have not yet received them. It is important that the persons report to the registrar’s office immediate ly and give the necessary informa tion in order that they may receive valuable registration material for the spring term which will be mail ed before winter term exams: Wm. B. Avernethy, George And rich, John W. Butler, Walter S. Cleaver, Fred Finsley, Marguerite L. Hill, Murrey M. Ifft, Christ Lou kas, Henry Neer, Harold Overmey er, Raley Peterson, Allyn Ora Rich ardson, Oscar Schnieder, John D. Scott, Dueray L. Stewart, and James L. Watts. New Steel Cases To Be Obtained For Specimens H. J. Biddle Contributes First $300 Donation Toward Fund New steel herbarium cases, dust and insect proof, will be purchased to properly house the University’s valuable collection of specimens which represent the work of pio neer botanists of the Northwest. 'Through the careful work of L. F. Henderson, pioneer Oregon bo tanist, the group of 100,000 press ed specimens, which includes the collections of five pioneer Oregon botanists, has been put into excel lent condition. Henry J. Biddle, of Vancouver, Washington, started the $3000 gift campaign with a contribution of $300. Other donations of the same amount each, have been received from the following Portland fami lies: David P. Thomson family; Failing Estate, in memory of Henry Failing; C. F. Adams; A. L. Mills; Corbett Estate, in memory of Henry J. Corbett; Dr. Rodney Glisan fam ily; E. S. Collins, in memory of Old Oregon Pioneers; and Mrs. George Good, in memory of George Good. The specimens previously were shelved in wooden cabinets which were neither dust or inseet proof, and required constant attention to protect them from insects. Mr. Biddle has done considerable work in the advancement of North west botanical research and has spent much time collecting speci mens in the Willamette valley and especially in the high mountains. His unselfish interest in the pre servation of the beauties gf nature for the public is shown by his pur chase of the commanding point on the Washington side of the Colum bia river, known as Biddle’s Butte, and also the purchase of the land mark, which was named Beacon rock by Lewis and Clark. He has dedicated both of these sites to pub lic use. ' The Beacon rock was inaccessible until Mr. Biddle, at his pwn ex pense, built trails up its face to the top. Pride and Prejudice Proves Popular Work Jane Austen’s “Pride and Pre judice” is one of the most popular books among those reported upon for the survey of English litera ture classes, according to Miss Mil dred Hawes, instructor in English. Work of reading the reports is now occupying her spare time. Aggie Swimming Meet Delayed Until March 6 The swimming meet that was to have taken place between the Ore gon and O. A. C. mermen'Wednes day night at Corvallis, was post poned because of a conflict in sche dules that was not apparent until yesterday. The new date set for the meet is March 6, a week from this Satur day. Varsity and Frosh Meet Is Tomorrow Bill Hayward Resumes Work After Absence Due to Pneumonia Hurdling, Jumping, Races to be Tried Jumpers, Shot Putters, Throwers Needed rTVHE second training meet for both varsity and frosh track team candidates is scheduled for tomor row afternoon when every event on the order of a standard track meet will be run off. The emphasis in this competition will be placed on speed. All the distances with the exception of the 100 and the'220 yard dashes will be cut in half. The winter training schedule which has been going on for the en tire term has met with difficulties in the rain and eold weather which has not permitted hard outside work and the illness of several strong men who have been kept out of condition. The meet which was scheduled for the Saturday of March 6 will»bo dropped from the training work and the annual interclass re lays will take its place. BUI Hayward is Bach Bill Hayward, who has been ill with pneumonia at his home, re turned to the track yesterday to look after the men who were work ing there. His enforced absence will probably retard the progress of the team but in spite of his un steadiness he is back to take com plete charge of making one com plete frosh team and filling in the enormous gaps in the ranks of the varsity. While he was away Walt Kelsey varsity hurdler and jumper took charge of the turnout. Not much work has been done in his ab sence but it was probably enough for the early condition of the men. The events which will be run off are: 75 yard daslt, 150 yard dash for 220 men, 220 yard dash for 440 men, 440 for half milers, 880 for milers and the mile for the two mile men, 80 yard high hurdles, high jump, broad jump, discus, shot, javelin and pole vault. Heavy Men Still Needed Weight men are lacking among Hayward’s candidate^. It has be come a big problem with him to got more weight men out. The weight events take more form than the others and a great deal of time is necessary for a shot putter or discus thrower to master the “form” of the event. Jumpers are also scarce and are wanted out on Hayward field in any quantity. Chemistry Student Evolves New Method An original method which gives the manufacturer a means of con trolling the undesirable or impure elements in the products with which he is dealing, has been evolved by Harris H. Brock, an advanced stu dent in the chemistry department. This process, technically speaking, is called “The Determination of the Formate Content in Crude Calcium Acitate.” For example, wood, when distill ed, has as its distillation products, acetic and formic 'acids. Acetic acid is quite valuable, and there fore desirable, but formic acid is undesirable. If in any product, the acetic acid, or valuable element is contaminated, it is desired to know the degree of contamination. Brock’s experiment makes this possible and allows the manufacturer to adjust conditions to reduce the undesirable element. ,'j This analytic method may be ad justed to serve different cases, where different amounts of the im purity are present. University High Will Give Group of Plays The dramatic club of University high school will present a group of one act plays March 5, in the high school auditorium. The plays that will be given are “Eomney, Prince of Court Painters,” by Constance D’Arcy, ’’The Kleptomaniac,” by Margaret Camieron, “Overtones,” by Gerstenburg, and “Knave of Hearts,” by Louise Saunders. The plays are being coached by Miss Margaret Booth and Mrs. Edna As senheimer, instructors in dramatics at University high school. TITLE HOOP SERIES WILL OPEN TONIGHT Women’s Dean Praises Spirit of Old Frontier Dr. Rosenbury Stresses New Americanism In Assembly Talk J^EW Americanism will be the gos pel of the frontier carried over to the middle of the twentieth cen tury, said Dr. Lois Mathews Rosen bury, prominent educator, author, and former dean of women at the University of Wisconsin, when ad dressing the assembly yestetday on “New Americanism.” Dr. Rosen bury told of the spirit of the fron tier as it is exemplified by the present generation, declaring that | “New America” is going to be an internationally minded people, which fact in iteelf shows a great fron tier spirit, she explained. problems Discussed “The history of the United States is the history of the frontier,” Dr. Rosenbury said. “Although the frontier is gone the frontier spirit is not gone.” Pointing out that open-mindedness, tolerance, and self-denial is the spirit of the fron tier, the speaker declared that thiis same spirit should be expressed in business, college, social life, poli ties and all other relationships. America’s greatest frontiersman in politics, said Dr. Rosenbury, was Theodore Roosevelt. “The problems of our country are the problems before us and not those behind us,” Dr. Rosenbury said. “There never was such an opportunity for young men and women in the world as there is to day. But these opportunities,” the speaker explained, “will best be used by those with the honesty, courage and character of the fron tiersman.” Brotherhood Encouraged Dr. Rosenbury encouraged inter nationalism and the brotherhood of man. She explained that a great frontier venture for the present gen eration to undertake would be to combine the educational systems of England and America. England educates for leadership, and Amer ica, educates for citizenship, sho said. Mrs. Jane Thacher, professor of j piano in the school of music, played two highly appreciated numbers, the first being a nocturne by Chopin and the other, “Etude” by Glay ounov. Dr. Rosenbury was intro duced by Mrs. Virginia Judy Es terly, dean of women. Dean John Straub presided at the assembly. Alpha Chi Purchases Property for Home f -: Alpha Chi Omega purchased the Kincaid lot on Fifteenth street be tween Alder and Kincaid streets ! Saturday for the erection of a new house. Final negotiations were j completed for the purchase of the lot from W. L. Kincaid, owner, by Judge Lawrence T. Harris, patron j of the sorority, and Clara Lamb, active member and chairman of the building committee. To build within two years is the plan of Alpha Chi Omega, accord ing to Norma Lee Stamp, president. “We have made no efforts to sell our present property, but we are planning to build whether we sell it or not,” Miss Stamp said. “Al though plans for the construction of the new house are being formu lated by the committee in charge, we are not certain what style of architecture or materials will be used. Junior First Team Beats Senior Second The junior first team again showed their superiority last night, when they defeated the senior sec ond team 42 to 6. Melva Hattan scored 14 of the points and Vesta Scholl 10. A one sided game between the senior and freshman third teams re sulted in a freshman victory with a 20-0 score. The sophomore fourth team and the color first team tied 6 to 0. Dr. Chase’s Demsion Expected in few Days J~^B. Harry Woodburn Chase, president of the University of North Carolina, who was of fered the presidency of the Uni versity of Oregon liy the re gents on February 9, is ex pected back in Raleigh, North Carolina, today, says a press dis patch. Dr. Chase has spent some time enroute from western points, stopping in California and other places. The Oregon campus is awaiting with expectancy the notod edu cator’s decision, which it is re ported may be announced a day or so ahead of the meeting of the board of trustees of the North Carolina university on March 2. Soveral organizations in North Carolina have adopted resolu tions urging Chase not to resign, including the senior class and the student body of the school. Harry A. Scott Writes Article For Magazine Physical Education Work At Oregon Described By Professor An article describing the physical education work and objectives at the University by Harry A. Scott, head of the men’s physical educa tion department appeared in the February issue of “The Nation’s Health,” a health magazine which numbers among its contributors a number of prominent physicians and physical education authorities. The title of the article, “Physi cal Education for All is Aim of College” is the objective that Har ry Scott has been working for since he came here. Ho outlines the work of the department and gives the objectives for university or college physical education work. It is based on the theory that “stu dents should be trained to main tain their health and to occupy themselves during leisuro time in some outdoor recreation.” It is illustrated with four action pictures of the chief activities of the depart ment. A future issue of the magazine will contain a paper by Scott on the restricted exerciso program for university and college men on which he has been working for tho past six terms. It will concern corrective physical education and the results of experiments in the department here which he has been investigating thoroughly with tho assistance of Walter Fenwick, sen ior in the department. Mr. Scott is a graduate of Colum bia university and took his mas ter’s degree from there in 1921. Mr. Scott spent two years in the capa city of instructor at Columbia. Since then he has been at the head of the physical education depart ment here. Dean Allen to Read Paper at Editor’s Meet Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, left Thunsday for Seattlo to be gone until Sunday. He will read a paper before mem bers of the Washington Newspaper conference, which will be held on the University of Washington cam pus Friday and Saturday of this week. This conference serves the same purpose for the state of Wash ington as that held on the Oregon campus last week-end serves fbr the state of Oregon. Nash May Conduct Classes on Campus The appointment of Dr. John Hen jry Nrsh,printer of San Francisco,as lecturer at the University is pend ing before the board of regents. In the event of his appointment, Mr. Nash will lecture before the stu dents of the printing classes of the school of journalism.

Carver Officials: Bill Mulligan (Spo kane); E. H. Harris (Oakland). * JJOTH the Oregon and California quintets are on edge for to night’s struggle, the first of a three game series to settle the Pacific coast basketball championship. Captain Benny Holmes, of the Bears, will be on the sidelines when the game starts, according to re ports from the south, whilo A1 Wes tergren, Oregon ’a scintillating guard will listen to reports of the con test over the telegraph. Holmes' loss, however, doep not offset the loss Of Westergren by the Oregon ians, as the former has played but little this year duo to a late appear ance and injuries. Bruins Reported Rough Reports have filtered northward saying that the Californians are rough and tough, and like to hand out punishment during the course of their games by double handfuls. If the melee becomes too torrid, Reinhart may send in some of him big boys to replace the lighter craft. Ray Edwards, 190 pounds of rough house, and Pat Hughes, another stalwart who doesn’t know what kid gloves are, accompanied the first stringers, and should prove adept at stopping any lefts and rights thrown in their direction, and handing back a few. The Californians left a long trail of bruises and aches in their wake last year when they returned to Berkeley after the 6. A. C. holo caust. Basketball, as played in the northwest, calls for a much more rigid interpretation of the rules than is generally accepted through out California. This works a hand icap on both teams. If the offi cials call them close, the Bear game is ruined, and if the officials call them loose and seldom, the invaders must suffer. Reports to be Received Bill Mulligan, the northern offi cial, who will alternate as referee and umpire with E. H. Harris, of Oakland, believos in calling fouls according to the rule book, so if California loses, a squawk may be expected that will reach the skies and possibly result in a settlement to govern inter-sectional series. The Oregon Knights and the A» sociated Students have arranged to receive play-by-play reports of. the game by leased wire at Villard hall. The keys will start clicking about 8:00 o’clock. The game will also bo broadcast by radio front Sta tion KGW of the Oregonian in Portland. By SAM WILDERMAN OAKLAND, Calif., Feb. 26.— (Special to the Emerald)—Oregon’s basketball team held a light work out this afternoon at the Oakland auditorium in preparation for to morrow’s opening contest against California for the championship of the Pacific Coast conference. A (Continued on page three) Frosh and Senior Girls Victors in Basketball The three basketball games play ed last night were extremely one sided, one team clearly showing its superiority over the other.
