VOLUME xxvrn UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1927 NUMBER S3 Dollars versus Amateur Stand Merits of Professional Basketball for Retir ing Veterans Conned By HAROLD MANGUM What for the basketball player when the three years of competition are gone, and graduation stares the collegian in' the face? What hap pens to these young men now form ing the fast and furious college fives when the referee’s last whistle blows, and ends their college car eers? Glaring examples of the answer came to light in the Oregon-Mult nomah game night before last. How ard Hobson, Webfoot captain last year, and Russ Gowans, lemon-yel low leader of two years ago, were included on the Winged “M” five, and, by the way, were just about all of that quintet. Both men played good ball, especially on the floor where headwork and experience count, rather than in shooting where the premium is on good eye co ordination and constant practice. Hobson was all over the floor, hounding the ball, and cutting off scores. Gowans stuck to Okerberg like a mustard poultice, and kept the Oregon twinkler to three field goals, which is a very low total for the elongated pivot-man. The rest of the club team was mediocre, although one substitute did pull one for the book. When sent in he was told not to talk. “Can’t I even say hello?” he queried plaintively. Gunther, Okerberg, and Wester gren starred for Oregon. That is getting to be a stereotyped phrase, but it will be pied shortly, for these luminaries have only two more reg ular conference games ahead of them, and possibly two or three playoff contests. Then they will be ex-stars, with the accent on the “ex.” They will be hasbeens, al though their court ability has hardly changed at all. What will happen to them? No, no towels are wanted. Gunther and Okerberg are taking business admin istration, and Westergren is major ing in economics. None of these fields promise high monetary returns without a long period of apprentice ship. Will these men gravitate to a club team? The Multnomah five is about the best independent quintet in the state, and it is I>1 points be low the present Webfoots in ability, if Wednesday night’s score is any indication. Hobson is coaching at Kelso, Washington, and not getting rich too fast. Gowans is working in a Portland bank, but the banking game is a slow, hard one, handi capped by the bogie of seniority. Gillenwaters, a good varsity man of two years ago, is helping coach the varsity, which can’t be a very luc rative position. Charley Jost is working for the Union Oil Company in Roseburg, and not paying any installments on a Rolls-Koyce. With the present high surge of sports interest, there might be a future in professional basketball. It seems like a quintet composed of such men as named above would put up a corking good brand of basketball, and pack the fans in, provided that the players could stay in condition and continue to func tion. Professional football is still on its feet, and gaining strength. Pro basketball might work right into the general scheme of things. There is no particular reason to suppose that the pro game would interfere with the college and simon pure product. The colleges only play (Continued on page four) Lessons Prepared On Birds by Huestis A new correspondence course on birds of the Pacific coast has just been completed by Professor R. R. Huestis of the zoology department. The course emphasises field work. ‘;The place to study birds is the place where birds are to be found. In the lesson bird census, there is a tabulation of all the birds seen in a trip from the campus on foot up the mill race, in auto to Spring field bridge, and then on foot along the east bank of the Willamette. One hundred and forty-nine birds were seen of thirty-four varieties. There are nineteen lessons alto gether. These include the history of birds, their character, coloration, feeding habits, and language. Architecture Needs Given In Statement Lack of Classroom Space Results in Delay First of Year Ten Suggestions for Improvement Offered Departmental Additions Stressed as Need <<rT"'HE cost per major student of the school of architecture to the state is very low compared with other institutions of a similar char acter,” according to a report issued by the school. “The twenty-seven per cent increase in the architectur al enrollment caught the school un prepared in space and equipment, with the result that the freshman class of over fifty were without a place to work and lost eight weeks on their schedule.” Ten suggestions for improvement of service are mentioned which may be carried out when funds are avail able. These include a field represen tative for organizing state art as sociations, exhibitions, advancement of information for building methods and city planning; the development of professional courses in Portland, which would serve to keep down enrollment on the campus; to bring into the professional curricula such practical courses as can be given only by demonstration, and which could be given by employes of the University. A new staff member to develop history of art courses and aesthetics is also recommended. Museum of Building Proposed The establishment of a museum of building materials is also planned while a University department of photography which should make for economy in the various fields where photographs are used, could be of fered without seriously increasing the costs of the department, the re port claims. The amplification of service courses in cooperation with industries of the state is also con templated. Lack of facilities also means loss of some of the best student work which is worthy of display. Further development of an adequate print course is advocated, and finally a method for marketing the work of students and staff for there seems to be a great opportunity to form such an agency. Ceramics, tile, pot tery, small seulptored objects and prints are included in the sugges tions of possible fields where such development would be practical. Needs of School Listed The most pressing needs of the school are listed as enlargement of the drafting room facilities in ar chitecture and provision for an inter ior decoration drafting room; free ing of the upstairs exhibition room; increase of library facilities and fellowships and scholarships. Addi tional faculty members are also needed if the anticipated increases develop next fall, concludes the re port. Reed Dean of Women To Lead Europe Tour Word has been received by Dean Virginia Judy Esterly that Mrs. Richard Scholz, dein of women at Reed College, Portland, will have charge of one of the student groups that will tour Europe this summer under the management of the Open Road, Inc., the American represen tative of the International Student Hospitality association. Mrs. Scholz is the widow of Rich ard Scholz, former president of Reed, who was succeeded by Presi dent Norman F. Coleman. Mrs. Esterly has announced that she will be glad to register any Uni versity woman who would like to make the tour in the group conduct ed by Mrs. Scholz. She asks that applicants leave notice at the office as soon as possible, in order that she may get in touch with Mrs. Scholz. Jessup Stands High In Points Fall Term Point honors for the fall term go to Bertram Jessup, senior in jour nalism, from Portland. Jessup made 93 points while carrying 20 hours work for an average grade of 1.35. He was allowed credit for but 19 hours. Ruth Griffith, senior in German from Salem, took second place with 85 points, carrying 19 hours for a 1.52 average. Colloquium Comm ittee of Faculty Defines Work of Honors Council Concluding Report Plans Division of Juniors; To be Voted Next Faculty Meeting < Editor's note: Following is the third and concluding installment of the faculty colloquium committee’s report on superior students and honors courses. This plan will be voted upon at the next faculty meeting.) In pursuance of these recommen dations the committee proposes the following legislation: I...Classification and definition of Junior Certificates and re quirements for graduation in relation thereto. 1. Junior certificates shall be of three kinds denominated (a) Junior Certificate, (b) Junior Certificate with Upper Division Standing and (c) Junior Certificate with Honors Privileges. • 2. A student shall receive a “Junior Certificate” when he has earned 9.1 term-hours qnd has ful filled all lower division requirements.

Provided, how i ever, that candidates in the profes sional schools may receive the bach elor’s degree with 45 term-hours or more of upper division work earned 1 (Continued on page three) Frosh Win Fast Game From Prep Quintet, 42-35 Wendling High Hoop Team Weakens in Final Ten Minutes of Play Wendling high Wicks (10) Mossier (15) ■Johnson (3) Stahlberg (2) Taylor (4) Substitutions ler, Cox (1). McDonald (1), (35) (42) Frosh f (11) Potts f (14) Clark c (6) Coleman g (2) Chastain g (6) Cheeney : Wendling, Kee Oregon, Dowsett, Hatton (2). In a game that was nip and tuck from start to finish, the Oregon freshman basketball team emerged victorious over the Wendling high j school five Wednesday by a score of 42 to 35. The game was played on the Wendling floor.' The game started off with a rush that showed the frosh had aban doned the usual slow style of play that has characterized freshman games in the past. Both teams scored frequently. The half ended 21 to 20 in favor of the Oregon five. In the second half, both teams maintained the fast pace until the last ten minutes when the Wendling five weakened and gave the frosh the game, 42 to 35. Clark led the yearling scoring by garnering 14 points on seven field baskets, while Potts was not far behind with 11 counters. Mossier, star forward for the high school quint, was hight point man of the game with 15 marks. His floor work was exceptional and he missed few shots. His teammate, Wicks, scored ten points. The work of the freshmen was much smoother than any they have displayed lately, and if they pos sessed a tall center, they would probably have run up a much larger score. The present incumbent, Cole man, is a guard and is merely filling in at center in the absence of an efficient pivot man. The Wendling high boys were a tall and rangy outfit and were un cannily accurate in their shooting but lacked the experience to cope with the frosh. Abramson Adds Two To Editorial Staff Two important appointments to the editorial board of the Emerald have been made bv Sol Abramson, editor. Henry Alderman and Ber tram Jessup, seniors in journalism, have been added to the staff as eon , tributing editors. Alderman came to Oregon this year from Reed College, where he was on the editorial staff of the Quest. Jessup has done work on the Emerald staff. Girl’s Basketball Begins; Margin Of Scores Wide Six Games Open Season; Victories Go to Upper Division Teams Tlie beginning' of the girls’ bas ketball season is characterized by a lack of highly competitive play ing, but this is probably due to the fact that all higher teams have played those lower in rank. On Wednesday night the fresh man first team won from the fresh man second with a score of 07 to 12. The sophomore first team beat the sophomore second, 55 to 1(5, and the junior first won from the junior second 52 to 13. Several places on the teams were filled by substitutes, and this may have had something to do with the great difference in scores. The freshman fourth team de faulted to the freshman third with a score of 2 to 0 on Thursday night, because only two persons of the fourth team turned out. The junior third team played the sophomore fifth, with a victory of 22 to 8, and the sophomore third won over the sophomore fourth by 23 to 5, So far, the results of the games have been inevitable, since in every case, a higher team has played one lower in rank, but next week with the difference in schedule, there may be some surprises. The schedule for next week fol lows: Wednesday, February 23, senior first vs. junior second; sophomore first, freshman second; freshman first, sophomore second; and junior third, the freshman fourth. Thursday, February 24, the jun ior first plays the sophomore second; sophomore third, the freshman fourth; and the freshman third, the sophomore fifth. Friday, February 25, the senior first plays the freshman second; the sophomore first, the junior second; the junior third the sophomore fourth; the sophomore ^hird the. sophomore fifth. Newspaper Work Hard Says Janes, Ex-Student Theodore C. Janes, an ex-Uni versity student, is now doing news paper work in Montpelier, Vermont. He is covering the state eapitol for the Burlington Free Press, Brattle herd Reformer, Rutland Herald and the Barre Times, all of which are newspapers outside of Montpelier, according to a letter received on the campus. “I am responsible for all the news for the four papers,” he said. “I find the work is very hard but very interesting.” While on the campus in 1924-25, Janes was head night editor of the Emerald, and member of Bigma Del ta Chi, men's national journalism 1 fraternity, and Theta Chi. Eighteen Men Pledged at To Ko-Lo Meeting Active Members for 1927 28 Formed by Sopho more Members Organization Founded On Campus iu 1912 Underclassmen’s Actions And Efforts Appreciated TO-KO-LO, oldest honorary fra ternity for sophomore men, in a formal meeting last night at the College Side Inn, pledged eighteen representative freshmen who will form the active membership of the organization for 1927-28. The pledges are: Cecil Gabriel, Melvin Kelly, Bruce Titus, Webb Haves, LeRoy Hall, Charles Reed, John Nance, Tim Wood, Kenton Hamaker, Harold Kelley, John Hol lister, Jim Campbell, Rodney Banks, Carl Forsstrum, Kenneth Potts, Sid Dobbin, Alien McCarty, Laurence Shaw. Present officers of the organiza tion are: Lester Johnson, president; Allan Boyden, vice-president; Bob llvnd, secretary-treasurer. Associations Made Possible To-Ko-Lo was founded at the University of Oregon in 1912 by a group of sophomores who believed that the increasing size of enter ing classes was beginning to make impossible the close contacts and associations among undergraduates that had previously existed. It was felt that an organization of repre sentative men, carefully chosen in their first year for all around abil ity and promise of future leader ship, could in their sophomore year unite to the advantage of them selves and undergraduate life gen erally. Campus Problems Discussed This was to be accomplished through meetings in which campus problems and differences could be constructively discussed from the many angles that the fraternity’s representative membership reflects. While sophomores form the active membership of To-Ko-Lo, juniors and seniors through their past as sociations with the organization, are able to appreciate the efforts and actions of the underclassmen. In this way, To-Ko-Lo principles are carried on by upperclass members occupying positions of influence in student affairs. Home Problems Class Entertains Today at Birthday Luneheon This week the luncheons given in the household arts building by the home problems class under the sup ervision of Miss Lillian Tingle are all-women affairs. Yesterday Mrs. Fred N. Miller, Mrs. Carlton K. Spencer, Mrs. C. V. Boyer, Mrs. Sam Bass Warner, and Mrs. O. F. Stafford were guests [at a luncheon. Today the affair will ! take the form of a birthday party for Miss Margaret I),nigh. Covers 1 will be laid for Bess Brown, Miriam Little, Emma Waterman, Beth Kon kel, Irene Whitfield, and An dree * Pellion. Mary Gallagher and Marguerite Carpenter have charge of both the luncheons. An extension department dinner is being planned for next Friday. Mrs. Genevieve Brnmnn and Thelma Vernon of the home prob lems class will supervise. About twenty guests will be invited. Know Your Friends, Cry of Sociologists ! I)o you know your best friends? If you don’t you had better net acquainted before the sociology de partment catches you. Take a good look at their eyes— dark or light— at their hair, com plexion, etc. It’s really time you’re finding out what they are like, any way. Don’t forget to discover whether or not they have succumbed to your good influence and become like you in manners, ideas, and choice of amusement. If you do all these things, rest assured that the mimeographed ques tion sheets, which the department is asking large numbers of students to fill out in the interest of an ex tensive survey, will not find you unduly perturbed. Besides you will be able to do your duty like a loyal Oregonian and help add to the sta tistics and knowledge in the Uni versity. Come One, Come All; Swell Party Ahead LL the glamour, glittering ^ *-sophistication, and romantic appeal of a Town and Gown or I’lastie Age dance, the soft lights, gently swaying decora tions, handsome men in evening clothes, lovely women in lovelier gowns, underneath a great pol ished floor and everywhere the maddening throb of wonderful music—don’t laugh, the occasion deserves such rhetoric—for it. is no other than that triumph of crepuscular terpsichore, the Sen ior Rail due Saturday night in the Woman’s building. It is to be, in short, an affair such as the great outside world believes a college dance really is. The dance has been limited to 300 couples and will be strictly formal. Only three classes will, therefore, bo represented as the freshmen are not allowed to don the black and white costume af fected in the evening by their more blase sophomorio and upper class brothers. While actual details are being kept in the dark it is understood there is to be a most unusual feature. Another thing that is being aired about as a fact is that there will be as good re freshments as may be secured. Women’s Fellowships In Number and Variety Await Ambitious Girls More fellowships for women lire being offered for 1927 8. They in clude three in social-economic re search by the Women’s 'Educational and Industrial Union of Boston, Mass., and several by the Carols Woerishoffer Graduate department of social economy and social re search of Bryn Mawr College, Penn. The first three carry a stipend of $500 each. Clerical assistance, equipment, and traveling expenses necessary for the investigation are furnished by the Department of Research. A degree from a college of good standing, training in eco nomics or sociology, and satisfactory references in regard to health, char acter, and special fitness for social economic research are the require ments. Application must be filed before May 1. The second group includes five for about $800, one for $550, and sev eral for $350. They are open to graduates of all colleges of good standing. Application must be made to the president of the college not later than the first of April. Further information can be had at the dean of women’s office. Dean Bovard Thinks Men Need Four Years Of Physical Education “I think it would be a good idea to require all students to take phys ical exercise throughout their entire college course rather than for two years only,” said Dr. John F. Bo vard, dean of the school of physical education. “Reed College at Portland has this requirement. It is the policy of the Oregon school of physical education, however, to require only two years of /physical education with the hope that most students will have formed the habit of exer cise during this period.” According to Dean Bovard, 75 per cent of the men continue tak ing some form of exercise during the time they are in college. In Dr. Bovard’s opinion, more equipment is needed at the Univer sity to provide greater opportunities for physical exercises. He cited the recent addition of handball courts which met with a like increase in interest in the game and resulted in as great a demand for the courts as before. “As we increase the facilities for exercise and find out what the stu dents like to do 1 think there will be a greater interest in physical education and many of the difficul ties now contended with will bo solved,” concluded the dean. Ten Sigma Delta Chis Visit O. A. C. Brothers Ten member* of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalism fra ternity, were guests of the Corvallis chapter yesterday evening, at a dinner at Corvallis. The meeting was held to establish u bond of union between the two chapters. The Oregon chapter plans to en tertain the Corvallis chapter some time next term, the date of which hasn’t been decided yet. Human Spirit Challenged By Adventure Even Drah Surroundings Promote Capacity for Daring Action Education Passive, Not Active, Present Fault Egoism of Individual Plays Important Part in Life HE spirit of Columbus, {who dared to sail unknown sens, the history of the covered wagon, the lure of undiscovered lands ns por trayed liv Stevenson, all are con cepts of the spirit of “Adventure,” the subject of the address of Dr. Harold L. Bowman, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Port land, Oregon, who spoke at the weekly student assembly Thursday morning in the Woman’s building. There is a capacity for daring enterprise within the human spirit. It can exist even in the most drab surroundings. The challenge of ad venture exists even on a college campus, said Dr. Bowman, who pointed out that the greatest of human adventures and that calling for the hardest struggle is the battle for mastery of oneself. There is adventure in the fellow who can master himself. He has the capacity for a more glorious adventure than a man who captures a city, he said. Dr. Bowman told the story of “Reddy Johnson,” employee in a business firm. He had the eharac teristic traits common to some red headed people, a bit of a temper and ambition. One day he heard two salesmen talking about him. One of them said, “Oh, he’ll be all right if lie learns to boss Johnson.” Reddy was puzzled for a min ute, then he “tumbled” and he learned that his battlefield lay within the circle of his own life and he set about to master himself. There is adventure in friendship, too, said Dr. Bowman. “Many of us are too interested in ourselves. We have a group of our own in timate acquaintances and beyond that we do not go. Yesterday after noon n man came to me in my study, lie wished to get acquainted with mo, he said|. lie stayed twenty minutes, and during that time f tried to learn as much about him ns I could. The Interesting thing was that at the end of that time f had his whole life history and he didn’t know one solitary fact about me. “The story illustrates the fact that there is adventure in trying to find out about folks, in exploring into their lives,” continued Dr. Bowman. “The more I know about people the more worth I find iu them.” Aunt Hannah went to visit her brother in the country. He was something of an astronomer uud Hannah asked to examine the tel escope which he used. Khe went to the attic where he kept it and stayed for a short tame. When she returned her brother asked her what she had seen, she responded that she was able to see what the neighbors were doing Sn their kitchen and she had been wonder ing that for some time. She had had the opportunity to gaze at the universe of stars yet she was more interested in trivial, unimportant things, said the speaker. Human Life Spiritual Them is a capacity in human life to reach toward the spiritual, said Dr. Bowman. Faith is reason grown courageous. It is reason will ing to venture forth us a pioneer. Faith is not irrational. It dares to go beyond what is scientifically dem onstrated. “Have we the capacity for ad venture! Our forefathers had it. All life is aa adventure if we can see it. Are you capable of meeting the difficulties of life! Can yon face them like a hero or will yon slink buck into the field of the dem onstrated! That is the question which life puts to us,” he continued. “At uu educational institution the difficulty that many of us find is that we are likely to take educa tion passively instead of actively,” lie stated. “As long as that is done, education will be a drab routine. Hut if we can go into it to discover something new it is worth while. There is adventure in the search for ! knowledge. It is found in the chem I ical laboratory, in the study of hio I tory, in literature as exemplified in. the Knights of the Round Table, who arc characters so real that you can talk with them and can go (Continued on jxige two)
