Frosh Quintet to Play Salem High School Tonight Coach Spike Leslie, Ten Players and Manager To Make Trip Provable Line-up: Facing the hardest game on their remaining schedule, the frosh bas keteers leave at 4 o’clock today for Salem where they will take on the crack Salem high school quintet. Coach Spike Leslie, Ted Hundry, manager, and ten men comprise the invading aggregation who are out to take the last year state cham pions into camp. The Frosh Who will make the trip are: Potts, Robie, Dousett and Hat ton at forwards; Clark and Hudorn, centers; and Coleman, Cheney, Chas tain and McDonald, guards. The new faces on the lemon-yellow frosh hoop string are Hydorn and Mc Donald both have been showing worlds of stuff on the casaba courts lately both in playing the floor and in readily connecting with the hoop. Coach Leslie’s dribblers did not fare so well on their northern road trip, dropping games to the Wash ington Babes and to the Columbia Hoopsters, the latter, however, by a close 24 to 21 score. The other game on the trip was against the Frank lin preppers whom they again trounced. The experience gained on this trip included the opportunity of seeing the leading quintets of the coast, the Washington and Oregon teams, in action and should be of the greatest help in bringing the Yearlings’ development along at a faster clip. In meeting the Salem cagers, the frosh are meeting the strongest prep team on paper, in the state. They won the state championship last year and are practically intact ex cept at center where Lyons, sub stitute man from last year, is fill ing in. The veterans performing again this year are Olinger and Dragor, two reliable six-foot guards, and Duffey and Siegmund, speedy forwards who round out the crack quintet. •* The preppers are undefeated this year, having chalked up victories against the strong Eugene high school and University high school cagers. Another impressive perform ance is their victory over the O. A. C. rooks by a 30 to 15 count. “Indeed,” Coach Leslie states, “the boys will have to play better ball than they have so far this sea son to win from the Salem aggrega tion. But with the sting of two de feats on their hands the Yearlings are out there to play ball and to play hard.” Frosh Potts Robie Clark f f c g g Salem Duffey Siegmund Coleman Cheney Lyons Olinger Dragor Ball -!

Dance to Be Limited Reports of the finance committee are to the effect that there is no Scotchman in charge there and con sequently there will be no financial worries as to the success of the dance. The idea of the committee is to make the dance exclusive by lim iting the ticket sale. Only seniors, juniors, and sophomores will be ad mitted and of those only the ones who are lucky enough to get their tickets first. Seniors will, .of course, be given preference. Library Gets Early Catalogue of Amherst Amherst College’s catalogue in 1842 was only a blue paper poster, with the names of the faculty and students as the printed matter. One of these catalogues has recently Kid Boots CLARA BOW BILLIE DOVE LAWRENCE GEE* —also— MERRY-MACKS COMEDY NEWS Tomorrow THE MYSTERY CLUB been given to the library by Fred Lockley, special writer for the Oregon Journal. There were only five members of the Amherst faculty at this time: the president, three professors, and a tutor. The total number of stu dents was fifty-nine, divided into three seniors, six juniors, nineteen sophomores and thirty-one fresh men. The upper classmen are desig-, nated as senior and junior sophis- J ters. Faculty (Continued from page one) rive at ti-uth by counting noses—or questionnaires. I doubt if any amount of counting, numbering, and i statistical inquiry will change for the better the spirit of University teaching and learning. These -de- j pend so much on quality of mind, ! and on the development of the crit ical and creative powers of mind, that I do not see the point of the quantitative approach to the prob lems. So I am glad that the com- ; mittee is dealing with values rather j than with numbers, formulas, or the mere mechanics of administration, i Their affirmation of humanistic val ues, and their emphasis on the worth of independent work, should have I some effect. They have apparently . one main plank in their program: an honors plan, a sort of college within the colleges, which will en able students who are seriously en- ! Igaged in study to work on their j own, instead of having their lives laid waste with lessons. I believe this honors college is a realizable plan. It does not involve scrapping any existing interests. It is not too big to be feasible. It requires only a minimum of administrative adjust ment. “There is clearly implied in the committee’s report an attempt to in sure more individual instruction— at least for students who have a real taste for learning. It is always a gamble whether a lecturer will strike sparks out of the minds of all the students who listen to him—ot who don’t listen. But conference work is another matter. Here the stu dent’s own work is the matter un der discussion. And that is after (all the reason that universities are run, though the casual visitor might think they are run to give lecturers a guaranteed audience. “I am glad the committee is aim ing at a definite course of action. We have had enough of grandiose blue-prints and cure-all prescrip tions.” “I think if the investigation is to be of much value if must be free from prejudice so that the students "'on’t take things that are unpleas ant for undesirable,” said Prof. H. , R. Douglass, of the school of educa tion. “No conclusions must be drawn which are not supported by the sci entific data of study. There are splendid possibilities, I think in such a report for there* are unquestion ably many inferiorities in higher education which need the search light of investigation thrown upon them.” Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of the department of geology, approves of the student investigating commit tee in that it shows active thinking. However, he believes there are cer tain problems of education that can only be solved after long •experience. “If these students do not take j themselves too seriously, and if they follow their destructive criticism with constructive criticism there is Qombinette An open style,, full of femi nine charm and daintiness— cut with open knee and side —the favored "teddy” way, but with fitted crotch and brassiere-like top—combined in the practical, comfortable Kickemick way. Delight fully cool. Priced for youthful purses $J.95_to $4.50 no reason why good results cannot result from this inquiry,” he af firmed. “I am very much interested in it and I think it denotes an intellect ual vitality that is very valuable to the school, declared Virginia Judy Esterly, dean of women. “I am sorry to see that there are no women ] on the committee. However, there : seems to be such a strong movement over the United States toward a curriculum adapted to the needs and interests of women, that I should like to see a committee of women who would study and dis cuss this movement with reference ; to Oregon.” I think the work undertaken by the student committee quite a splen did thing,” said Prof. William P. Maddox, instructor in political sci ence. “It indicates a general in- j terest in the problems of education which every university has to face. This interest of the students is re- | markable, I believe, and is not to ! be found in all universities. It : shows that the real business of the university, that of education, is be ing considered by students, at least by some, as of primary importance, and outweighs emphasis on social functions and athletics. Special at tention to the more advanced stu dent is a recommendation Which meets with my highest approval.” “I favor any investigation which will lead to better educational meth ods, but I am not very optimistic in regard to results until there is a larger number of professors supplied per student,” was the statement of Dr. Donald jBarnes, professor of history. '“Nearly everyone recog nizes that better results are accom plished by the Oxford and Cam bridge methods, but money must be supplied to make them possible.” “There is no reason why an equal number of women should not be rep resented on the committee of stu dents who axe conducting the in vestigation. They have proved their ability, if grades mean anything, and considering the faet that the student body is composed of almost as many girls as men, they should take part,” Dr. F. G. Young, dean of the school of sociology, said. “As for there being any immediate re sults that will astonish the world, that is only a secondary matter. Projects of this kind fulfill exactly the idea of present day psychology and sociology—that the benefits of university association and study can in this way reap fruition. A desir able tradition of student participa tion in an effort towards bringing TJcrversity work to a higher level j may be established on the initiative of the group.” Said Mrs. Clara L. Fitch, secre tary of administration offices: “It is an excellent mental exercise and more power to their elbows. If this investigation can succeed in reform ing-the University at the first, sec ond or third crack, then in the next ten years there is some hope for the judicial system of America, for a jelling of the minds of the public on the Volstead act. and for that reform of politics which has been the dream of the discontented since the early days of the republic.” “Fundamentally, I am more inter ested in the fact that there is a committee of students doing that kind of thing, than I am in what they do,” said Dean II. Walker, dean of men. Failure to Pay Fees Leaves 100 in Lurch — When the cashier’s windows in Johnson hall closed at noon Satur day, approximately 100 students had failed to pay fees for this term, ac cording to E. P. Lyon, University cashier. Some of these may have with drawn from school without the re quired procedure, Mr. Lyon thinks, but others will have to pay the late payment fee. Approximately a dozen paid today. Next Saturday is the last day that fees may be paid. Gentlemen who prefer homemak ers will have to look some place other than the University of Kansas in their search for such, if the statistics made public here are to be considered. Of 1513 young worn | en students at the university who I turned in their preferences as to j what line of work they wish to fol low after graduation, only seven expressed a desire to become home makers.

Intramural Swim in Women’s Tank at 7:00 Is Open to Everyone The second intramural swim of the year will take place tonight at 7:00 p. m. in the Woman’s building pool. At least seven teams and a number of independents will parti cipate. Anyone not on the varsity or frosh water squads is eligible to swim and there are no scholarship requirements. A relay race of one length of the tank for each man has been added to the list of events. The score will be kept by teams. ©f the teams thus far entered, the Celts appear to have the best chance of emerging with high scor ing honors, but the Phi Delts and1 a few others will press them closely. Bach house will be permitted to en ter only one man in each event. The Phi Delts claim a sure point winner in Webb Hayes, while the Delts are expecting to reveal sev eral water phenoms to an admiring public. Bob MeiMath is down on their schedule to win the breast stroke without a struggle while they do not look for much compe tition for McAlpin in the backstroke line. In addition to these specimens, the Delts will put on display three dark horses, who, it is rumored, were once the mainstay of the Mult ! nomah club team in Portland. De tails, however, are lacking. Some 300 additional seats have been provided in the pool in the Woman’s building so that the seat ing problem should be solved for a time at least. The following men will act as of ficials: Pete Palmer, Del Oberteuf fer, Glenn Howard, Johnny Ander son, and Verne Howler. Irving E. Vining to Speak at Assembly On ‘Calls of Service’ Irving E. Vining, president of the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce, will be the speaker at the regular weekly student assembly Thursday, February 3, in the Woman’s build ing, when he will address the stu dents and faculty of the University of Oregon on “Calls of Service.” Mr. Vining is a well-known speak er at Eugene. Two years ago he spoke at assembly and he also con ducted a course in personal effic iency in the business administra tion school several years ago. He is a friend of Dean E. C. Rob bins, of the school of business ad ministration, who says of him that he is an excellent speaker and is inspirational as well. Mr. Vining has for many years been prominent in state develop ment and progress, and is an exper ienced speaker. During the war he was a special lecturer for the Unit ed States government and has also been a Chautauqua lecturer. Bob McKnight, student in the school of music, will sing at the assembly. An announcement recently ap peared in the weekly of the Ala bama Polytechnic Institute, asking the upperclassmen to refrain from all haircutting until after the pic tures had been taken for the an nual.
