I Three substi-1 I tutes appeared in | the first lineup j last night, but j Reinhart refused! to say whether they would start to- ■ night or not. bast night’s workout j was taken up with shooting prac-i tiee, and found Westergren, Oker berg, Ridings, McCormick, Emmons, and Milligan on the first squad, i Jerry Gunther worked with the sec- J ond string, lobbing the ball at the j other circlet, quite unnoticed by j the varsity coach. ©kerberg to Start Okerberg will probably start to night, although Joe Bally has been appearing at the pivot position in practice since the Washington game. This was due to a shoulder injurv suffered by the Oregon ace while going out of bounds against the Huskies. Emmons has been getting in more practice than Milligan, and may possibly start the fracas. Mc Cormick has been working in much of the time, too. The best bet right now is that Reinhart will start his veterans again tonight, as listed above, and trust to Providence that they will snap out of the slump into which they have been immersed, and play real ball for a change. If they play loosely, or take wild and long shots at the hemp, they will be uncer emoniously jerked, and replaced by the sophomores, who have been hustling all season. Portland Fans Stay Home Reports from Portland say that the special train, which was ten tatively to make the trip tonight, will not function at all because of lack of interest. Sam Wilderman, publicity man, returned from Port land last night and says that he never had so much trouble in secur ing newspaper space in his life, as all the scribes expect Oregon to get walloped by from 20 to 50 points. That’s what Sam says. Another large-sized bone of con tention which has been attracting its share of gnawing is the brand of basketball played by the invading Bears, who checked into Eugene last night two hours late. The visitors are mostly big fellows who appear capable of taking care of themselves in almost any kind of company. Officials Capable Perhaps basketball is played a bit differently in the south, and the rules are not interpreted in quite the same way that they are here, but two officials will be on hand to night who comprehend their gro ceries, and are accustomed to call (Continued on page four) Critic Lauds University Orchestra; Says Underwood Capable Director “Pique Dame” Called Greatest Triumph With Violin. Wind Sections Outstanding By K. E. Rex Underwood conducted the University of Oregon orchestra last evening in a concert at the Wom an’s building that was most pleas ing to hear. Mr. Underwood con ducts in a very easy manner, and his movements are without hesita tion or uncertainty. The orchestra plays in a most finished manner. The different sections of the orches tra are well balanced, but partic ularly well did the bass section play. It would be hard to pick an out standing number of the program, for all were well received. An ori ental trend seemed to predominate. Especially oriental was the “Danse Arabe,” from Tschaikowsky’s Nut Cracker Suite. It was a droll num ber, in which the flute and cello played a very beautiful, yet weird, melody. The “Pique Dame” overture, by Suppe, was probably the biggest thing on the program. It was very well played. In this number it would be very easy for the violin seetion to overplay its part, but they kept their place, under the conducting of Mr. Underwood. The orchestra worked up to the bril liant finish, with its sweeping runs of the violins, and smashing chords from the brass and wood wind sec tions. In direct contrast to this was the “Serenade,” by Drigo, with its very beautiful and most appealing mel ody. This number, and the Pierne “Serenade,” were played by the strings alone. However, the Drigo serenade, with its harp accompani ment, was by far the more beautiful as well as the better played. The concert closed with “Cauca sion Suite,” by Ivanow. This, in a way, is quite similar to the Nut Cracker Suite. It was oriental throughout, and extremely weird. It was very well played but fails to possess the melody that is in the Tschaikowsky numbers. The orchestra was forced to re peat several of its numbers, and granted one encore at the close. It was “Vienna Life,” by Strauss. Dr. Hall Speaker At Last Formal Assembly Today Meeting Next Week Given To Regular Business Session Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall will ad dress the faculty and students this morning at eleven' o’clock at the Woman’s building on the subject of “Ambassadors of the Univer sity.” Dr. Hall will discuss problems of development within a University and will mention ways in which stu dents can serve the University of Oregon. The assembly this morning is to be the last formal one of the term. The hour the following Thursday will be devoted to a regular A. S. U. O. business meeting. At least one similar meeting is held each term, Hugh Biggs, president of the associated students, presiding. At that time committee reports, and other business relating to the man agement of student affairs, will be attended to. Special music will be furnished this morning by Gene Carr, baritone, who will sing “Oh, Ask of the Stars,” by LaForge. Strim-mers’ Pictures To be Taken Friday The recent pictures of the Uni versity of Oregon swimming team were not satisfactory enough to have published in the Intercolleg iate Annual for 1927, and therefore will be retaken Friday at 12:20 in the Woman’s building pool, accord ing to Ed Abercrombie, Webfoot mentor. The list of men on the varsity who are requested to report fol lows: Byerley, Boggs, Brown, Davis, Fletcher, Greulich, Johnson, Kier, McCook, Newbegin, Beid, Sheridan, Smith, Thompson, Woodworth, Man ager Ball, and Coach Abercrombie. The freshmen: Abele, Allen, An derson, Hatton, Mathers, Raley, Sharp, Silverman, Waldron, Man ager Newbegin, and Coach Palmer. Extension Monitor Is Ready for Circulation The Extension Monitor, published by the Extension Division, has just been printed at the University Press, and is being circulated. The Monitor prints in almost every issue the work of the stu dents enrolled in correspondence, and contains personal items concern ing the students. We Want Actors!

Cheney Tells Tale of New Web foot SHH-SHH-8HH. Don’t tell a soul this but I just heard something about the Wcbfoot. Mow 1 promised not to tell a soul what I was just told but it’s too good to keep so I am just going to tell you and no one else. The next issue is to be the “Mys tery Number.” Just think of it, our Webby is going to don the black robes and enter into the field of mystery. But that isn’t all. The editors of the magazine are going to give you a chance to tell the public about a few of your mysterious ideas and jokes, providing you don't make them too long. All you will have to do is to write them down on paper, use the margin of the Emerald if you haven’t anything else, and drop them in the contribution box in the Journalism building. Now you want to know when this number will be off the press. Well, it will be sometime within the next two weeks. Get your contributions in this week. Council Lets Band in Game Free and Votes Favorably on Boxers The University will send at least one man as a representative to the intercollegiate boxing tournament which is to be held at Stanford, March 11, the executive council de cided at a meeting yesterday. Members of the University band and the permanent rally committee will be admitted to the conference series games without tickets. The men’s glee club will get compli mentary tickets for tonight’s game only. The advisability of abolishing the ten cent fee for use of tennis courts and taxing, the students twenty-five cents a year until the courts are paid for was discussed but no mo tion was made on the matter. Under (Continued on page four) California, Here We Are! Ooach Billy Reinhart, who has developed the Orejon quintet this year with a memory of the last year at Berkeley, and Gordon Ridings, a sophomore who has helped the machine to spark, has had a hard time staying on top, hut they’re there now, and headed for the championship. defeat of The team Junior College And Honors Privileges To Become Part Of Curricular Methodology Administrative Committees, to be Appointed by President, Will Work Out Detailed Plans for Development of System Definite Break in Registrant’s Work To Come at End of Sophomore Year Adoption of Plan Marks Successful Culmination Of Student Agitation JN one of the most drastic changes effected in the history of the University of Oregon, the faculty yesterday voted to estab lish a junior college and to organize honors courses for superior students, plans which call for reorganization of the entire aca demic system. A standing group of 16 members, known as the Junior Col lege Advisory committee, will be appointed to work out all de tails and plans for the junior college and submit them to the administration. As a result of the faculty adoption of the junior college plan there will be a definite break in the college course at the end of the sophomore year. v During the first two years the student will not he allowed to major in any particular course but will be given work along | Pep Rally Starts From Kappa Sig Corner at 6:15 Students Admitted to Game After Parade Arrives At Pavilion Old-man-gloom, who has hovered about the Orogon basketball camp for the past week, will seek another clime tonight, when the first campus basketball rally will be held, start ing at 0:15 tonight at the Kappa Sig corner. Plans for the rally have been somewhat revised, with the parade | starting at 0:15, then marching to ' the Sigma Chi corner where a brief I rally will be held. As a last min- j uto effort to inspire his team with a | fighting confidence, Billy Reinhart j has consented to let his team make j a brief appearance on the Sigma : Chi porch before going onto the I court to battle California for the . championship. In addition, Billy ' Reinhart will spill tho last min- 1 uto dope and several other short j talks will be given. The yell stuff j will introduce a new yell, which was written by the student council yell committee, and will be the main yell used at the game tonight. House managers are requested to have dinner at 5:30, so as to give time for students to attend tho ral ly-parade. Rooters lids will be nec essary for tho game and to insure seats for those in the rally—no stu dents will bo admitted to McArthur court until tho rally-parade has reached tho pavilion. It will be necessary for all stu dents to participate in the rally, as the Oregon team will need the sup- , port of every student at the rally i and the coach only consented to the 1 appearance of his team when he was assured that every man would be j there to give the team their last minute backing before it meets the California five. Men’s Quartette Sings For Bankers’ Banquet A group of light, popular, classic al songs will bo given by the Men’s Glee club quartette, tonight, before the banquet that is to be held in the Osburn hotel for the bankers of Lane county. The members of the quartette are John Stark Evans, Ted Larson, Prank Roehr, and George Wardner, who have given numerous concerts lately, the latest of which was pre sented at Cottage Grove, February 4, when the glee club made an ap pearance there. general cultural lines. He will then receive a junior certificate if he has completed the lower division requirements. Rules Stiff If. in addition, he has ful filled several requirements concerning grades, the student will receive a junior certificate with upper division standing. A junior certificate witli honors priv ileges will be given if the student has fulfilled the lower division re quirement and in addition others imposed by the honors council. Thoso rulings do not affect the students now enrolled in the Uni versity but will govern those enter ing next fall. Beginning with commencement in June, 1931, no student shall be granted a bachelor of arts or a. bachelor of science degree who does not hold a junior certificate with upper division standing or a junior certificate with honors privileges. This action on the part of the fac ulty has come as the result of a number of investigations and recom mendations made by student com mittees recently concerning educa tional conditions at the University. Add Advance Worfc Uiule; the provisions of the Super ior Students and Honors committee, which were adopted by the faculty, more freedom will be given to stu dents of ability and inclination to do advanced work. They will be allowed to follow their own desires and inclinations, and their work will be evaluated by means of spe cial examinations. To carry out the honors program, a permanent faculty council on ho» or students, consisting of nine mem bers, is to be appointed by the president, the members to serve three-year terms. This committee will direct generally the honors work and supervise the privileges extended to honors students, al though the specific direction and enrollment of students in honors work will remain, as at present, with the various departments. upperclassmen v*o up “Any program for dealing with superior students is based frankly on the assumption that a consider able part of the student body would, under proper conditions, sincerely prefer vigorous intellectual activity to mediocre accomplishment,” says the report submitted by the com mittee. The process of selection at the end of the sophomore year is to be based on all data which the per sonnel committee and the registrar’s office can supply. A combination of high school records and the stu dent’s record in lower division work,, supplemented by all inferences that can be drawn from mental tests and. (Continued on page two)
