V Secret Asia To Be Bared By Pictures Roy Chapman Andrews Of Gobi. Expedition To Tell Story Official Pictures To Illustrate Talk Speaker to Be at Villard Next Monday Night SIA, the -“mother of the eon •iVtinents,” the cradle of the pri mates, the remote ancestors of all ■mankind, has long kept its secrets of this early life to itself. It re eained for Roy Chapman Andrews and his co-workers in the field to furnish concrete proofs of the con viction that Asia is indeed the cradle of civilization. * The story of how these proofs were secured is an enthralling one; it is the story of the work that has been accomplished in the Gobi des ert and elsewhere in Mongolia by the American Museum Central Asi atic Expeditions of 1922, 1923, and 1925 and which will bo told by Roy Chapman Andrews, leader of the expeditions, next Monday night in Villard hall. Third of Lecture Series Andrews is the third speaker of the student lecture series for this year and he brings with him not only his personal story, but thous ands of feet of the most interest ing motion picture film, which will be shown during his lecture. The pictures are a remarkable bit of photography and depict graphic ally the course of the expedition and the search for evidences of pre historic life in the Mongolian desert. Captain John Noel, leader of the Mt. Everest expedition which made an effort to reach the top of the world’s highest mountain and who delivered a lecture last term on the expedition, said of the pictures of the Mongolian expedition-: “The pictures of Roy Chapman Andrews are very fine. They are a photographic story of that expedi tion as the pictures taken on the Mt. Everest trip, tell the story of that expedition. It is a wonderful set of pictures.” Dinosaur Eggs Unearthed Those who heard Captain- Noel’s 'lecture and saw the pictures he took will be interested to hear that he has spoken so highly of those to be shown next Monday night. Results of the Mongolian expedi tion have brought forth two out standing discoveries during the past few years. Dinosaur eggs were un earthed and remains of a primitive human culture of the late Paleolithic, or Old Stone Age, were found. Thousands of flint-flakes, old fire places, arrow points and spear heads were discovered, all of beautiful agate and jasper. There were forty-one men in the party, fourteen Americans and the rest Mongol and Chinese assistants. The caravan is the most picturesque iu the history of the expedition. There are seven modern motor ears, in decided contrast to the one hun dred and forty-three eamels, and the fourteen tents. It is the story of this interesting exploration trip that Roy Chapman Andrews will tell next Monday night. Cud Must be Chewed Tomorrow Unaided "/'■''RETCHEX says today (with VJT apologies to the Seven Seers): “Try and get an Emer ald on Wednesday to masticate with your shredded wheat bis cuit, or your doughnuts and cof fee. Just try.” Xo, Gretelien doesn’t mean to be impolite, and she’s not all wrong, this time. George Wash ington couldn’t tell a lie—neither can Gretchen-—the Diji goat ate all the copy for the Wednesday' issue of the Oregon Daily Emer ald! The little lamb wasn’t really any more to blame, though, than the little hatchet. It was all George’s fault for becoming such a great man as to be worthy of causing a holiday, for holidays produce no copy' and no copy means no paper. And so we guess the Diji goat didn’t over-eat after all. But, anyway, there ’ll be no Wednesday news sheet, and we’ve filled lots of space.

Paper on Hegelianism Will be Read Latei Owing to the liigli water it wa impossible for Raymond E. Bake: of Albany College to reach the cam pus last night to address the Phil osophy club. Mr. Baker was to liavi read a paper on “Hegelianism ii America’’ which he has prepare! in 'connection with the researcl j work which he has been doing oi j Hegelianism for his doctor’s de | gree. The paper will be read befor j the club at a later date, however. Profs and Co-Eds Turn Navigators As Downpour Sweeps Sinning Worlc Recent Floods, Second Only to Noah’s Famec / Deluge, Hard on Riggers’ Navy The storm has abated, and among the flood casualties are 400 chick ens, three cows, dead, and thirteen professors missing. It sounds like a movie, but its true. The professors rvent up the McKenzie, Saturday, as far as Thompson’s in order to view the scenic grandeur, but when they were ready to return they found that the water was too deep for Fords, and so the professors stayed. They were not men without a coun try, but of what good is a country when one is separated froiy it by about eight feet of water? ' Various classes, stricken by the re port concerning the unfortunates, de clared a holiday in order to mourn properly. Canoeing has been superseded by walks along the mill race, where the fatal flood rages. Certain hard heart ed sheiks have reported that it is very touching to take one’s girl to the river and see the old parking places so deserted and wind swept The river and the mill race havi merged into one great mass of water and the scene would be complete i only Lillian Gish were floating down the swift flowing stream on a cak of ice. Roughly estimated, some fifteei couples were forced to hit the tie on their way home from the leagu meeting in Springfield, since the bu service had been discontinued. Two weak hearted co-eds rented,: room in the hotel and stayed al night. According to the latest re port from the area of distress, the; were waiting for the sheltering fold of night so they, too, can travers the ties. But to return to the campus— mingled odor of spoiled fish and we linoleum meets the nose—as 'on enters the journalism shack.

Enrollment, consisting largely of high school teachers from the middle west' and Pacific coast, is expected to be the greatest in the history of the summer sessions, according to Dean Alfred Powers, director. The 93 instructors, many of them distin guished experts from the east, will make the largest group bf educators ever assembled for the summer. Education courses have the great est number of visiting instructors. Alice Barrows, a specialist in the United States bureau of education, Washington, P. C., will have classes in Portland. In Eugene, George D. Straver from the Teachers’ College, Columbia University, will instruct.

The Eugene session will have its share of visiting instructors in the various departments. Dr. Oscar James Campbell, a member of the English faculty at the University of Michigan, will be here. Dr. Camp bell was selected by the United States government to collect infor mation on Turkey for the Peace con ference; he is also the author of several books. Wilkie Nelson Col lins, well known writer and critic, for such magazines as the Century, Bellman, and Atlantic Monthly, also from Michigan, will give courses.

The measure, pass«l by both ; houses last week, is now on the gov ernor’s desk for his action. No one i ; in authority at the University de t sires to be quoted as to what action ; the chief executive will probably s i take. i The one point on which there is r general agreement is, that there is i real n.eed for the library. Face Each Other For Last Time Tonight on Maple Court Ray Graap, Bill Burr, and Jerry Gunther This trio of basketball scintillants, two from O. A. C. and one from Oregon, will perform tonight in McArthur Court. Graap is the Aggie captain and guarding star. Burr is the boy who has been accounting for most of the Orange points from a corner position, and the villiaji of the Jost-Burr feud of 1926 which is being continued by Gordon Ridings this year. Jerry Gunther needs little introduction, except to say that he is almost in a class by himself as a guard this year. He plays a great all-round game. Two Professors Give Their Ideas of George Washington, the Man Opinions vary much as to the character of George Washington and since the advent of Rupert Hugos’ book on the life of Washington in 192(1, there has been more expres sion than ordinarily. Two professors have added their ideas. “Most historians react to Wash ington as a really great man,” said R. C. Clark, head of the history de partment. “As one gets farther away nothing really detracts from his character. “The revolution was a success largely because he was able to hold the army together in a time of trial and difficulty, and because England got tired of fighting and gave up. “ Two biographies, one *by Wood ward, author of ‘Bunk,’ the other bv Rupert Hughes, seem to me to be on the whole excellent interpre tations of Washington’s career and influence,” continued Dr. Clark. “They make him more human, but more interesting because he is more ! human.” When he is writing in the slight ly off-color way, an author has to write like a gentleman, and Rupert j Hughes falls just a little short of it ! in his life of Washington, in the | opinion of Professor S. Stephenson : Smith of the English department. “Washington is made out to be { far more of the eighteenth century j gentleman than we have thought. The interest syems to be more in the private life than in the public,” he said, adding that Hughes’ work J tells more about Hughes than it does 1 about Washington. “These new lives are throwing ; new light on his life,” he said, men tioning McMaster’s work, which de scribes him as an estate manager, and the richest man in the colonies. Slimmer School Adds Courses in Coaching Slimmer school of athletic coach i ing at the University is being an | nounced through illustrated circulars ! just off the press. Virgil I). EarJ, director of athlet ics at the University, will have super vision of the coaching school. Wil liam L. Hay ward, Oregon’s nation ally-known track coach, will give a two weeks course in the training of track men. The course in football, ! including both the theory and prac tical field' work, will be under the direction of Captain John J. Mc I Ewan. William J. Reinhart, head | basketball and baseball coach at the University, will .conduct th^ classes j in those sports. 1 Infirmary Bill Not Abandoned Says A. B. Hall Will Attempt to Get Funds From Private Sources For Hospital Arnold Bennett Hall, president of the University, has issued a state ment regarding his action in with drawing the infirmary appropria tion bill after it had been passed by the Ways and Means committe of both houses. • He says: "In view of the pressing needs for adequate infirmary facilities at the University of Oregon, T have been repeatedly pressed for an ex planation of my action in consent ing to the withdrawal of the in firmary appropriation after it had been approved by the Joint Ways and Means committee of both houses. I desire to make it clear that it is in no way due to any change of mind on my part as to the necessity of such equipment.'’ "I do not agree with those who ! apparently take the position that I the University owes no obligation j to provide adequate afcilities for ; the care of the sick and the prcven i tion of illness among the students of the University. When the par I cuts of the state send their sons and daughters to the University of Oregon where they are gathered to gether in crowded fraternity houses, boarding houses and dormitories, I ! feel that they have a right to ex ■ pent that the University will show deep and genuine concern for their physical health and well-being. This | is the policy of the administration | and will continue to be. I shall make every possible effort to get the money from private sources and if I have not succeeded the request will’be renewed at the next session j of the legislature. I will not rest ; content until the fathers and mo thers of Oregon can ibe assured that every reasonable precaution has ■ been taken to safeguard the health : of their children. ‘‘I consented to the withdrawal of the bill out of consideration foi the financial situation of the state and out of deference to the' able men in the Ways and Means com (Continued on page three) Drs. I{oyer and Ernst Meet (lasses Wednesday I)r. C. V. Boyer, head of the de partment of English, and Dr. Rudolf II. Ernst, associate professor of Eng lish, expect to return to their classes Wednesday after an absence of sev oral days because of the grippe. Dr, Dover suffered a relapse Friday. Dr, Ernst met but one of his classes yesterday, according to Mrs. Ernst ‘Torch Bearers,’ Three Act Comedy, Nears Finished Production The advanced Drama company is working hard toward the coming staging of “The Torch Bearers," by George Kelly, a comedy in threo acts. One of the most popular of recent comedies, it is an extraor dinary clever satire on “Dramatice” written by a man who knows and loves his subject. Tho second act, wherein a play is acted within a play, is a clever bit of work. “It is impossible to see how anyone who likes clean, hearty amusement, could help but be infected with the fun of this delightful comedy,” accord ing to a JSfew York review. Small changes have been made in the previously announced cast,, es pecially among the male characters, but the company is now permanently selected and the play nears the fin ished production. The cast in the order of appear ance follows: Mr. Frederick Ritter, William Forbis. Mr. Huxley Hossefrosse, Ceei: Matson. Mr. Spindler, Alfons Korn. Mr. Ralph Twiller, Arthur Ander son. Teddy Spearing, Ernest McKin ney. Mr. Stage Manager, Berry Doug las. Mrs. Paula Ritter, Jeanne Eth; ! Clark. [ Mrs. J. Dura Pampinelli, Althei Dwyer. Mrs. Nelly Fell, Constance Roth. Miss Florence McCrickett, Kittj I Sartain. Mrs. Clara Shepherd, Katie Buch I an an. Jenny, Mary Campbell. Organ Dedication Held By John Stark Evan, Th.' recital given by John Star i Evans last Saturday in Portland a i the Sunnyside Seventh-day Adver : tiht church in dedication of thoi new organ, was an episode in th musical circles of Portland whic created a great deal of interest. The concert, which was compose largely of requested numbers, wa divided into three groups. The fir> consisted of two selections from th compositions of Bach and Dvorak the second-, an enlarged interprets tion of the old Irish tune, “Bairn -liny” which Mr. Evans revised an i called the “Londonderry Air;’’ an also the famous piece, “Bells of S I Anne de Beaupre,” by Bussell. The. third group had four compos lions, among which was the “R< mance in A,” composed by the ai sistant dean of music. “The Pi grims’ Chorus” by Wagner, and “T Mv Country” by Schevc, conclude the program.

The Aggies are stuck so deep in the mire that they can't even black bottom, while the Web foots are hustling toward a title and a chance to meet the Golden Bears of California in a cliam pio n ship series. Bill Reinhart J. UCU1Cliuiuy , vicguu tonight by a handsome score, and leave history to he digested many years hence with an “Oh, boy, what a team Oregon had in 1927!” Also theoretically, the sharp Oregon pass ing attack, the Webfoot speed, and the individual excellence and ex perience of the players should en able the lemon-yellow colors to go dancing on, down the bright high way to fame. Keinhart Gloomy The writer called on Coach Billy Reinhart yesterday for a little afternoon chat, and found the am iable Oregon skipper in anything but an optimistic frame of mind, or anything approaching enthusiasm over the possible outcome of this week's play with O. A. C. and Washington. Billy doesn't think Oregon will win handsomely. Quite the contrary, he thinks the Aggies will put up a great scrap and pos sibly down the Webfoots, and he concedes the Huskies a great chance to win Saturday night’s tussle. “Tlio Oregon players are basket crazy,” said Reinhart. “Even in practice, there is rivalry as to who 1 shall score the most points. I gave the second team the O. A. C. plays 1 and they made the Webfoots look like dubs. Even the substitutes are out after all-coast. Whew!” Basketball Dope Whoozy Therefore, it would seem that ■ some one dares to diverge from the regular campus opinion, anil take the bull by the horns. Basketball i.s a funny sport. <■ Games are not won on the Door, but three or four days before in the i. minds of the players, say some au thorities. There is not much dif ference between a good team and a ' j bad one—-just a matter of being “on” or “off.” Washington State - ; howled Idaho over the same week i that the Vandals beat Oregon. Mon tana buried O. A. C. under an aval 1 unclie of field goals when the teams were rated fairly even in strength.
