Graduation (Continual from page one) of the students nnd passing judg ment upon examination perform ance. “The problem of having a suffi cient crowd at commencement is not a serious one. All buildings are overcrowded now with the audi ences. The only argument in favor of an early commencement is that students might bo benefited bv the exercises, but with examinations in sight, they do not avail themselves of the opportunity.” Sheldon Cites Lack of Room ■“I can see no particular advan tage in having commencement a week early,” said Henry I). Shel don in giving his reaction to the question. “There is no object in having the underclass students here for graduation, because we have no building large enough. "Vfhen the graduating class, the faculty, fam ily and friends of the students, nnd ji few townspeople gather in the IVoman’s building, it is completely filled. “We tried this plan of having the exorcises early one year, but it didn’t work, and was in the nature of anti climax. “If the seniors were excused from examinations the last term, manv of them would do but very little work. It would be a nuisance to give examinations early to the Beniors separately, for they are scattered through so many classes. “However, if we had the new auditorium, there might be more argument for an earlier commence ment.” Mrs. Fitch Sees Advantages “I can seo advantages on both sides of the question,” said Mrs. Clara L. Fitch. “At present, wo have no place large enough to hold even tjie seniors, their parents, anil the faculty. If commencement were a week or so earlier, all the stu dents would l>e on the campus, but there would be no room for them at the exercises. “When commencement comes af ter most of the students have gone, the parents and friends of seniors can stay in the halls, fraternities and sororities, thus solving part of the lodging problem. _ “On the other hand, the glee clubs and orchestra could be here. The students would have the chance to see what commencement really was, and to enjoy the ceremonies. Of course the seniors could get out of school earlier, too. It would be something of a load on undergraduate students just before examination week to have com mencement taking place, however. “There is much to be said for both sides, and I have come to no definite conclusion.” “I remember when we tried the early commencement plan 10 or 12 years ago,” said Dean II. Walker. ‘‘Commencement was just before ex aminations, and preparation was very poor on the part of the under classmen that year. “The increased crowd made it im possible for everyone to get seats. We need more space to accommo date the crowd, and possibly with the construction of the new audi torium or basketball pavilion, somo plan can be devised to urge students to stay for commencement.” George Rebec, stated that he had thought very little about the mat ter, but as his offhand opinion, ho said ho would not be in favor of an early commencement., “Friend Hannah” To Complete Moroni Olsen Play Series The Moroni Olsen players will complete their series of three plays in Eugene for this season, when they present “Friend Hannah,” by Paul Hester, at the Ileilig theater Wednesday evening, March 3. The change in the date, which was for merly announced as Thursday, March 4, was due to previous Ilei lig engagements, says Miss Mozcllo Hair, of the Extension Division. The play deals with the romance of the Prince of Wales, who later became Georgo Third of England, and a little Quaker maid, Hannah Lightfoot, or “Friend Hannah,” as the Quakers called her. The scene is laid in London in the period from 1700 to about 1800. Miss Janet Young, member of the company and a graduate of the University of Oregon, in a recent letter to Miss Hair enclosed a num ber of newspaper clippings showing the enthusiasm with which this play has 'been received by other audi ences. Miss Young states that tho public shows more interest in “Friend Hannah” than either of the others. Miss Young and Mr. Olsen, who usually take the leading parts are taking minor roles in this play, ac cording to Miss Hair. Dorothy Adams, in tho role of “Hannah” is commented upon very favorably in the reports. The Prince of Wales being portrayed by Byron Foulger, and Mr. Olson is Hannah’s stern Quaker uncle. Miss Young takes the part of tho servant girl, Betty Tret, who is Hannah’s friend. The company, which is composed wholly of college people, is showing I growing success. Tho high class of plays, all of which have tho artistic [element, would indicate that tho public appreciates this typo of play when given an opportunity, Miss 'Hair believes. Problems of Lawyer, Subject of Address W. Lair Thompson, prominent Portland lawyer and member of the firm of MeOnmnnt and Thompson, talked to the faculty and members of the University law school, last night at a banquet at the Osburn hotel. The speaker, who was introduced by Doan Hale, of the law school, spoke on the subject ot “Practical Problems of the Young Lawyer.” LAST TIMES TODAY The famous screen character actor FRANK CLARK IN PERSON (at 3—7:Sa-9:S0) anil in his latest comedy picture "THE FIGHTING PARSON’’ ALSO The rapid romance of tie turf— “The MILLION DOLLAR HANDICAP’’ with Vera Reynolds Edmund Burns Ralph Lewis And— coming MONDAY. TUESDAY “THE FLAPPER WIFE” The screen version of the popular newspaper serial Dean Hale Helps To Revise State Bar Constitution Law Associations Would Affiliate With State Organization Dean W. G. Hale, of the Univer sity of Oregon law school, and sec retary of the committee appointed at the last annual meeting of the State Bar Association to work out a new constitution for the associa tion, recently attended a meeting of the committee in Portland. A tentative draft of the proposed constitution was made, with the view of forming a more democratic type of organization. It will prob ably be presented for the approval of the members of the State asso ciation at a specif meeting in the spring. The new constitution which is taking the form of the constituti tion of the State Medical society, embodies four essential elements. The first is what is known as the Look for it on the dealer’s counter WRIGLEYS ajv More fgHB mm f°r Y°ur mm money ■ • ■m# and the best Peppermint Chewing Sweet for any money G13 IJ*r Aff iliatorv plan, by which the County Bar associations will be come integral parts of the state or ganization. In this way, asserted Dean Hale, each member of the county association is ipso facto a member of the main organization, and each local organization will be represented by delegates especially elected for attendance at that meeting. As a result of the new plan, the management of affairs of the asso ciation will be vested in the execu tive committee in which the local associations of each congressional district in the state will be repre sented by three members. In that way each section of the state will be represented in the executive body. All executive committee members will be elected by ballot which can be cast by mail, so that it will not be necessary for each member to attend the state meetings in order to take part in the election of offi cers and to help determine the poli cies of the organization. The new democratic plan also calls for a referendum for all measures brought up at the annual meeting of the State Association. Beferen dum votes may also be cast by mail.

Former Student Finds Changes In University Dr. Frank Scaiefe Tells Of Career as Doctor In San Pedro “I’ve seen practically every col lege in the country and this uni versity has them all beaten. There is only one which compares with it and that is Cornell,” said Dr. Frank Scaiefe, graduate of ’17, now prac ticing surgery in San Pedro, who was visiting with old friends on the campus yesterday. “There are the same good boys and girls here there were in my time,” Dr. Scaiefe continued, “but lots of changes, of course, new buildings. You see, my last year here I worked with Mrs. Gerlinger to raise money for the Woman’s building. I remember we borrowed silverware all around town to give progressive dinners. “We used to play football right out there,” he pointed toward old Kincaid field, “and there were only 20 fraternities and sororities here. !

President j Campbell almost fired me several times for throwing freshmen in the millrace.” Since leaving the university in 1917, Dr. Scaiefe has spent four years at Harvard medical school, rode the ambulance in “Hell’s Kit chen” New York, an interne at the New York hospital in surgery, prac ticed in Liverpool, England, during the war, and spent three years in surgery at San Pendro. “Hell’s Kitchen,” he explained is the toughest district in New York. He had many experiences there with “hop heads,” “snow birds,” and all sorts of degenerates. He men tioned that he occasionally had to sew up the head of a negro which had been chopped with the ax. “All of the men from my class that I can think of have made good,” said Dr. Scaiefe. He men tioned Edison Marshall, successful novelist, now living at Medford, Ernie Vosperg, one of the heads of the educational department in Berkeley, Dr. Paul Spangler, now practicing with Dr. Bobert Baker on Catalina Island, “where all the movie people play,” and Dr. Bob .Langley, specialist of heart diseases, who recently sailed for Europe. Other former students he fre quently sees in California are, Helen Brocht Maurice, living at San Fran cisco, Dr. Glen Watson, Louie Bond, and Bernice tioukas Dinwiddie, Berkeley; Mildred Garland Lam pool, Joe Sheshean, and Dr. Jimmie Vance, Los Angeles; and Ethel Scaiefe Gallagher, wife of Hugh Gallagher now operating manager of the oceanic steamship line. While a student at the univer sity, Dr. Scaiefe was junior class president, member of To-Ko-Lo, Ye Tabard Inn, Friars and Delta Tau Delta.

He didn’t think so much of the horseless carriage, either. The telephone was newfangled, and an insult to the United States mails. As for radio, aeroplanes, wireless photography—if they had been born then, he probably would have thought them a bit immoral. But lie’s changed. He’s been educated. His point of view lias been made broader and more modern. He has been civi lized—by the automobile, the telephone, radio, advertising. Every single one has opened up new paths for him, taught him new things. Advertising, especially. Advertising tells him the newest things to wear, the best things to eat. Advertising tells his wife how to make a home up to date and attractive. Advertising tells him the prices to pay for things he buys, saves him from old-fashioned ways of doing business—helps him live well, keeps him modern. Advertising can help you. The advertisements in this news paper are here to tell you many things that make life more comfortable, more interesting, happier. Read them faithfully. They’ll keep you abreast of the time. They’ll prevent you from becoming the type of old fogy who—sniff!—doesn’t read advertising. Advertising is the key to modernity
