Choice of Eight
Acts Made For
Junior Vodvil
Ticket Sale Will Probably
Open Within a Week
Or Ten Days
Eight acts, all suggestive iof the
best talent the campus can put out,
will comprise the Junior Vodvil
this year. Moreover the plans are
to present these acts in .as finished
a manner as possible so that the
show itself, combined with the ad
vantages which the theatre affords
will make the Vodvil a truly high
class affair.
Two of the leading acts will be
the five-foot-two chorus, or “Mc
Phillips ’ Gayieties” as they are
also called, and musical numbers by
the “Aggravators.”
This chorus has been picked and
trained by Barney McPhillips, cam
pus masculine danseuse, and bids
fair to be a howling success. Mr.
McPhillips has proved himself a
competent and talented instructor
in the art of dancing in the past
and from the rapid strides now
being made by the chorus in the
development of the act it promises
to be another proof of the direc
tor’s ability.
The “Aggravators,” need little
explanation. Their music is well
known to the campus and its appeal
never fails. The effectiveness of
the act will be made more colorful
by means of lighting and setting.
The remaining six acts are equal
ly interesting. Clover acts all of
them. They will present some of
the spiciest bits of campus comedy
that can be imagined. They reflect
the careful consideration and par
ticular requirements made by the
committee.
The acts are already lined up and
with a couple of rehearsals which
have been scheduled for this week
the preparations will have been
completed and the principals of the
acts will begin to work up their in
dividual parts.
The event will take place on the
2,'i and 24 of this month. The seat
sale will begin within about a week
or 10 days at which time the tickets
will be placed on sale at the box
office of the McDonald Theater.
Tickets will bo 50c and 75c and a
few will be sold for a dollar. Blocks
of seats will not bo sold this year,
the plans of the committee are to
make it possible for all houses to
havo an equal chance to obtain
good seats. With this idea in mind
and the greater seating capacity of
this theater in view the committee
expects to please everyone with the
seating arrangement.
Thero will be three performances,
Friday evening, Saturday afternoon
and Saturday night. Tickets for
the Saturday 'matinee will bo on
sale for 35 cents.

Education Students
Prepare Article on
College Grade Plans
Francis F. Power-', graduate as
sistant in the department of educa
tion, has made an extensive study
of the distribution of college grades,
and the various systems used, lie
has written a paper on this subject,
with the help of Miss Louise Bas
t'ord. Prof. F. L. Stet-on is collab
orating with Mr. Powers and Miss
Basford in having the article pub
lished in a journal or magazine.
Questionaires concerning grading
systems were sent to till institutions
and 40 of them replied. Most of
those questioned were universities,
though there were a few privato
-schools.
Mr. Powers has discovered that
there is one other university besides
the University of Oregon that is
using ttie I and II system, and there
are three institutions which compel
their instructors to have their
grades conform to the normal curve.
“Most of the schools,” says Mr.
Powers, “know very little about
their own grading system. Our uni
versity ranks better than ordinary
in knowing our own system. Ono
of the tilings we desired most to
find out in our study was how much
interest the schools displayed in
their grading system.”
Purdue University puts out a
thick book on grades and are very
much concerned with their system,
declared Mr. Powers.

Judges
(Continued from page one)
There will bo a special meeting |
of tlie judging committee in Boom!
103, Villurd at 7 p. m. tonight. All I
judges are urged to bo present. i
Song Week is a new thing on the
Oregon campus. Such a week of
singing college songs lias been j
established as an annual event in !
may colleges'on the Pacific coast j
and it is planned to nuako it such J
on tlie Oregon campus. It is es-1
spatially a student body affair, the I
judges all being students, and the
singing to be done by the students.
Tomorrow evening, members of j
the senior class will hold a “Senior |
Sing” in front lof the library, in
keeping with the spirit of the
week.
"Judging by the interest and en
thusiasm that has already been
shown on the campus, Song Week |
promises to be a great success and J
we expect every one to help make j
it so,” said Fred West, chairman of 1
the committee.
Track
(Continued from page one)
Captain Walt Kelsey will prob
ably be entered in four events
which will keep him busy for the
afternoon, lie will compete in the
low hurdles, broad jump, high jump
and pole vault.
Hill Hayward wasn’t so very well
['leased with the workout of the
track men. He is taking the team!
south mainly for tin' benefit of the)
training competition as the possi-;
bilitv of winning the meet is far
off.) This is the first meet of the.
season," which finds the men in
poorer condition'than they will be
in later on. However the team will
compete against a squad which has
practically the entire season behind
it and is in tlie height of its power.
That is the handicap which north
ern track teams must overcome.
The team will leave here Wed
nesday and arrive in Palo Alto
in time for a light workout. Bill
Hayward, who was asked to referee
the Stanford-California dual meet
on April 17 will probably remain in
the south since the track team has

Oregon Riders
Finisfli Second
In Paper Chase
Portland Hunt Club Wins
Annual Meet With a
14-Point Margin
The newly organized riding team
representing the University of Ore
gon finished second in the annual
three-mile paper chase staged by the
Portland Hunt Club last Saturday in
Portland.
The Hunt Club team ivon the
event with a score of 47 points.
Oregon finished first among the
colleges represented with a total
ot G1 points. O. A. C. was third
with 80, barely nosing out ths
group from the University of Wash
ington, W'hich had 84.
Miss Margaret Spencer was the
first Oregonian to gallon over the
finish lino, completing the run in
third place. Natt McDougall Jr.,
of the Hunt Club was the first
rider to finish.
A field of 24 contestants began
the run which was greeted by ideal!
paper chase weather, and all but j
three finished. The pan or was clev-|
crly sown and provided a veritable ^
labyrinth which puzzled many of
the riders, and caused them to over
ride the papvrus. The club team
was the first to pick up I lie trail
and lead over the 14 jump course.
The Oregon contingent returned
highly satisfied with their showing
end enthusiastic about the manner
in which the chase was conducted.
A dual meet with O.A.C. is a pros
pect. The riders who represented
Oregon at Portland were Captain
Jack Hering, John Nelson, Henry
Hall, Margaret Spencer, Kate Mar
tin and Nonie Vial.
A meeting will be called some
time this week by Jack Hering, a
member of the team, for the purpose
of organizing a riding club on the
campus. According to Hering it is
the hope of the members of the
team and others interested in rid
ing to form a' club on the model of
the Boots and Saddles club of the
University of Washington.
R. B. Bovd of Bang’s Biding
academy, who has assisted the Ore
gon team heretofore, is cooperating
in the plans which are being formu
lated. Moonlight rides, miniature
paper chases and other horseback
events will be held this spring in
the event the plans are successful.

Gridsters Will
Begin Practice
On Wednesday
Men Not Engaged in Other
Sports Requested to be
Out at 3:30
All football candidates except
those engaged in another sport 'will
resume practice tomorrow, accord
ing to Coach McEwan, who has re
cently returned from an extensive
tour of the state. No pads are to
be worn.
McEwan visited practically the
entire state in his two weeks’ trip,
missing only Coos Bay and the
Bend region. These communities
will be visited as soon as possible.
He was accompanied by Harold
Young, president of the Alumni as
sociation, and the two spoke at
many high schools during the itin
erary. McEwan is reported to be
favorably impressed with the state
which will furnish the material for
his future varsity teams. While
not rich in large student bodies and
high salaried coaches, the high
schools of the state produce sound
grid timber.
Spring practice, which will start
tomorrow at 3:30 and continue pos
sibly until Decoration day, will be
less strenuous than that of last
term, and will be designed princi
pally for the new men. Lynn Jones,
George Mimnaugh, Bay Edwards,
Arnold Kiminki, and Fred Harrison
of the varsity baseball squad, and
Vic Wetzel, who is tossing weights
for Hayward’s cinder crew, will
be lost to the spring grid work. A
number of the freshman football
squad are also out for the yearling
baseball and track teams.
