Tirza Dinsdale,
Ex-Secretary,
Visits Campus
Y. W. Worker Here Four
Years Ago Located at
Santiago, Chile
Chilean People Declared
Courteous Group
Tirza Dinsdale, former secretary
of the Y. W. C. A. on the campus
for four years, is back visiting Ore
gon again with tales of her work in
Chile.
Miss Dinsdale left for Chile in
1921, and has served as secretary of
the Y. W. C. A. in Santiago for
over five years. When she arrived,
the organization of a student “Y”
had .just started, and for two years
she was the only northern woman
engaged in the work. Now there
aro two other assistants from the
north. The Y. W. C. A. quarters
are in a lovely old Spanish build
ing of twenty or thirty rooms, which
was a private residence, typical of
the homes of wealthier class in
Chile.
“There is no campus life as we
know it here,” Miss Dinsdale said.
There are no dormitories, no sor
orities, and the buildings which
house the different colleges of the
University are scattered all over
Santiago. The attendance in classes
is not compulsory, but the work is
thoroughly covered by oral and writ
ten examinations twice a year.
Chilean Girls Attractive
Chilean girls are most attractive,
much like French girls in appear
ance, and of both light and dark
complexions, declared Miss Dinsdale.
She has found them possessed with
a great deal of poise, very intel
ligent, and especially appreciative
of art and music. The study of
languages plays an important part
in their education. Three languages
aro started in the grades, and by
the time tho girls finish college they
aro apt linguists.
“Courtesy is moHt out-standing
in tho Chilean girls, indeed, in all
tho people there,’’ said Miss Dins
dale. “If you ask a question, their
first thought is to answer it as yon
would like. This, to them, is just a
matter of politeness and there is
no moral question involved. They
are always courteous to strangers
and most loyal to those whom they
choose ns friends.”
Few professions are open to them
which are considered proper, ac
cording to Miss Dinsdale. Education
and pharmacy are perhaps tho best
accepted. The number of women
taking work in the Teachers’ Col
lege is now about (100 and equals
the number of men.
Social Life in Family
The social life of tho Chileans
centered around the family. T!
homes are large and it is thei
under the paternal eye that tli
young folk enjoy their parties. 1
their high schools, or licoos, tli
boys and girls are separated. Th
university, however, is co-educatioi
al. Indeed, the whole civilizatio
of Chile is primarily European.
The Chileans are a very artisti
and beauty loving people. One ea
not pass down the street, Miss Dim
dale said, without seeing even th
poorest cart-pusher with a dash o
color in a bright sash at his wais
Red Top Cab Co.

or a flower on his breast. It is a
country with extremes of riches and

' snow capped mountains like those

wise varies from the wonderful
i rainless climate of Santiago to the
j drizzly weather of southern Chile.
1 Now they arc in the midst of sum
I mer, for the seasons there are just
opposite to ours.
i “When I first came back, I was
I struck with the wealth and mater
ialism of America,” Miss Dinsdale
declared. There are the wealthy in
Chile also; but they seem more to
have inherited their position. It
does not strike one that wealth is
, what they are striving for.

Oregon got innumerable ehances
under the basket with no one within
I reaching distance and, if a Mult
nomah player occupied the desired
spot, shot all manner of unearthly
baskets, viz, Jerry’s overhead toss
and McCormick’s goal just before
crashing into the padded goal stan

The clubmen, under the chaperon
ing of Ken Stephenson, Oregon
alumnus, during the absence of their
coach, took turns in displaying
spurts of action.

Hobson and Gowans would tear
up the floor for a while and then
tiring, would let Cherry or Clorin
handle the brunt, or the ball, as it
were.
Last night’s fiasco proved beyond
a doubt that Hon McCormick holds
some kind of igrudge against the
Multnomah team. He made 12
points against them Saturday and
then nursed his grudge until last
night when he piled up 14 at their
expense.
The count stood 22-6 at the end
of the first half and after the first
half rootors had all gone home and
the second canto started, the Lemon
Yellow started the barrage on thp
Multnomah hoop that netted 14
points in fivo minutes.
After that had calmed down Rein
hart started his “Substitute Revue”
by running in Emmons, followed by
Epps, Bally and later Joy and Hum

It looked like last year’s Frosh
team was playing the northerners
along toward the last with Emmons,

President Arnold Bennett Hall,

Mr. Horner, debate coach, just re

Houck, national president of Delta
Sigma Rho, saying that he will in
stall the Idaho chapter and the
Oregon chapter during the latter
part of May. At the installation,
there will be a public program and
a banquet.
“Membership in Delta Sigma Rho
is on a basis of extraordinary woTk
in that line and not just a minimum
amount of work,” said Mr. Horner.
“The chapter requires two or three
years of debating for membership.
The fact that a man has debated
in the University does not mean
that he will be taken into the so
ciety as a member, but he must be
a credit to the school. It is strictly
an honorary fraternity. We will
also take in some alumni of the
University who have debated hero,

are familiar Tarkington enfant
terrible. They are not individual
but, nevertheless amusing figures
whb embody the stock perturbations
and passions of the heart that at
tend the middle teens. Love is per
ennially young; even the mother
passes through a second love as
humorous as that of her children’s.
The plot is sophomoric, built
about the daughter’s and son’s fug
itive love affairs and about the
mother’s secret love. All three loves
tryst in the small secluded place and
results in a comic situation. First
the mother and daughter frighten
Lancelot into hiding under the
lounge from where he hears first
j his “fienish” sister’s sentimental
cooings with Rupert Smith and then
liis mother’s heart-talk with Mr.
Ingoldsby.
This play excels in the expression
of adolescent emotions. The energy
of expression in dialog is simple, di
rect, sincere and close in feeling to
everyday stuff. This play was ex
cellently acted. Dean Condon (Lan
celot) Thelma Park (Jessie), and
Grayce Nelson (mother) carried off
their parts in a natural manner.
Miss Burgess Makes
Gift of Poetry Monthly
“Voices,” a poetry magazine
which is published once a month,
has been added to the magazine in
the circulation department. It is
the gift of Miss Julia Burgess,
professor of English.
The entire title of the magazine
is “Voices, an open forum for
the poets.” The last issue features
several poems by Howard McKin
ley Corning, who was recently a
guest on the campus.
