Relay Tryouts Show Athletes Yet Below Par Slow Time Made in Every Race But Hurdles is Worry to Coach Cleaver Tops Sticks in 15.1 Day’s Best Mark The tryouts for the Seattle Relay carnival ' held on Hayward Field f iturdav afternoon left Coaeh Bill Fayward in more of a quandary ever as to how many men he •aije one) American higher education in many! respects is subject to severe con structive criticism and have real ized further that University stu dents possess the right, the obli gation and the ability to assist ma terially in ironing out some of the logs desirable features of American' adversities. One of the first and most note-1 worthy pieces of student co-opera tion was the “Dartmouth Report” In which Dartmouth undergraduates at the suggestion of the University president, after many months of in investigation, submitted a detailed course of study and general survey of Dartmouth conditions. This re port, submitted last fall, has re ceived nation wide attention. Harvard students in the past year published a booklet giving detailed fc.iailysis and criticism„of individual f-tfrsos, and, more-recently have pre t nted a report to the Harvard trustees suggesting, among other matters, that the University be broken up into small colleges of three hundred students each. Yale Makes Reports The Yale Daily News, with its 1927 platform already organized, is aware of the general situation, de manding among other things, the “consideration by authorities of undergraduate opinion”; changes in curriculum. Dartmouth Plan and Harvard Tutorial System recom mended”; “Unlimited cuts for jun Vagabonds Charm Vodvil Audience; Gaieties Girls in Variety of Dances BY JACK O’MEABA If applause is to be regarded as a criterion of approval, then Fred West, A1 Smith, Ted Larsen and Paul Peek, the Varsity Vagabonds in a “Record Breaking Affair” were the hit of the Junior Vodvil. i The act contained both variety and j originality in the numbers and was I polished with the skilled execution of experienced professionals. The Vagabonds were accompanied by George Weber on the piano. Attention to detail and precise training were exhibited by the McPhillips Gaieties. Barney McPhillips, director, in choosing the chorus, displayed peerless taste in the uniformity, voice and dancing ability, and appearance of the •girls. Esther Setters again proved the qualities which made her the star of the 1924 Vodvol. The cos tumes impressed one both by their individuality of design and artistic color effects. Dance features by Lillian Bennett, Anona Hildebrand, and Bob Warner with Katherine Mutzig gave a diverting note to the act. The music arranged and di rected by Don Adams, contributed much to the success of the revue. The honors as laughmaker were taken by Collins Elkins, his act “Chiropracticing”, a humorous dis course, being repeatedly interrupted by the laughter of the audience. Barney McPhillips’ “Hermit of Shark-Tooth Shoal” showed that his dramatic ability was not confined to the production of dance revues. The atmosphere of the land of toreadors was pronounced in the “Soul of Spain”. Etha Clark and j Milton George presented the ever popular tango, while William For bis featured with Spanish songs. Janice Larsen’s whistling selections were well received. She was ac companied by Dorothy Black. A skit of vaudeville caliber, slight of plot and profuse with com edy dialogue, was “I Don’t Want to Get Married.” Edgar Buchan an starred, assisted by Jane Bo Dine, Sara Benathum and Alfons Korn. One of the secrets of the April Frolic was exposed when the esn- j ior women presented their stunt, | “Over the Bolling Sea.” The pro- j logue by Geneva Smith, sailor dances ■ and songs gave it a tang of the sea. j iors and seniors whose general av erage is 75.”; and "reduction of public’s virtual control of college football.” The Oregon investigation, while somewhat different in its angle of attack from any of the other in vestigations, is considered by the student participants as a manifesta tion of this nation-wide student in terest in their own education. The Oregon report will consist of an analysis of the present situation with the causes pointed out, and def inite, practical suggestions for bet terment of prevailing conditions. Students Sponsor Probe The present investigation, which has been under way for the past four weeks, while strictly under stu dent auspices, is not without con siderable faculty interest and sup port. During the recent question naire distribution faculty and ad ministration approval was practical ly unanimous. The attitude of tho student com mittee was explained by one of its members yesterday. “We do not believe the Universi ty of Oregon is unusual in the man ner in which it supervises the in tellectual activity of its students. Tho condition at Oregon may bo found over the entire nation. Wo are anxious, however, that Oregon should bo not merely average, but of exceptionally high standard, and it is towards that end that we are working. “The committee is approaching its task in the spirit of genuine re search. No one is looking for a fight, nor are there any bones to pick. The committee is quite will ing to let the facts speak for them selves without any attempt to re sort to sensational elaboration or emphasis.” Names of the Oregon students en gaged in drawing up the report will not be made public until publica tion of the final report.
