VOLUME XXVIII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1927. NUMBER 92 A. S. U. O. Head Welcomes Visiting Editors — Exhibit in University Press Shows Examples Of Good Printing. “In behalf of the student body I extend a cordial welcome to you who are guests of the campus this i week-end. It is not often that two j events of such importance and in- I terest as the Annual Editors’ con- j ferenee and the Pacific Coast cham- I pionship series coincide in the place j and time of meeting. We are hon- | ored by the presence of both groups, i and it is our sincere wish that you , enjoy thoroughly the time spent | here.” Cordially, Hugh Biggs, president of the A. S. U. O. Among the first of the visiting newspapermen to reach the campus for the Ninth Annual Oregon News paper Conference were Henry N. Fowler (Oregon ’14), former edi tor of the Emerald, and now asso ciate editor of the Bend Bulletin, ] and George Curtis, the Bulletin’s t circulation manager. Mr. Fowler j and Mr. Curtis drove from Bend to , Chemault, a flag station about 65 1 miles from Bend, there flagged an j S. P. train on the new cutoff I aud were in Eugene eight hours j from their departure from home. ; They both speak in high praise of the snow scenery on the new line, which at times carries them above the clouds at an elevation of 5,000 : feet or so. They are staying at the Eugene hotel. George P. Cheney, owner, editor, j and publisher of the Enterprise ] Record Chieftain, and his son, j George, Jr., drove in early yester- j day evening, in time for the first ! game of the championship series. ! They are staying at the Colonial apartments. Among the early arrivals at the Eugene hotel last night were Walter R. Taylor, manager of the Molalla Pioneer; E. E. Brodie, publisher, j editor, and owner of the Oregon j City Enterprise, a repeater who al- i ■ways turns up for the conference; ' L. D. Gordon, editor and publisher of the Southwestern Oregon Daily : News, Marshfield; and A. C. Gage, I editor, manager and publisher of the Angora Journal, Portland. An exhibit of good printing from ! the presses of a number of the best : printing companies of the state has been arranged in the University press building by Ray Nash, man aging editor of the Oregon Daily Emerald, and Robert 0. Hall, head of the University press. A curious collection is one sent in by Elbert Bede, editor of the Cottage Grove Sentinel. It is an exhibit of the odd letter-head print ing of a period 25 and 30 years ago. One letter-head carries the date 1885, and is set in the flowing script that was considered the par excellence of that period. Contributors to the exhibit, whose work was on display last night are: Oregon City Enterprise; Bertelson and McShane, Salem; Corvallis Printing Company; Astoria Budget; Bend Bulletin; Cottage Grove Sen tinel; State Printing Department; Central Oregonian Press, Prineville; Valley Printing Company, Eugene; and the Gresham Outlook. The work of other printers will be placed on exhibit this morning. A first, second, and third prize will be awarded. An exhibition of some of the fine work from the press of John Henry Nash, master printer of San Fran cisco, will be arranged this morning on a separate table. W. A. A. Banquet Tickets Are Nearly Sold Out Almost all the tickets are sold for the W. A. A. banquet to be held Tuesday, March 8, at the College Side Inn, according to Nellie Johns, in charge of the selling. This is one of the highlights of the athletic year for Oregon women, as at this time the results of the election of officers for the association, held on that day, will be given out, and sweaters and small O’s will be awarded to those who have earned them. Any girl who is a member of W. A. A., or who has made any team this year in volleyball, basket ball or swimming is entitled to a ticket for the banquet, upon the payment of seventy-five cents. A lot of clever features are be ing worked out by the various mem bers of the committee, headed by Testa Seholl, and all eligible girls are urged to attend. John Henry Nash Works in Type For Joy of Creating New Artistry World-Famed Printer, Friend of University, Due Today for Editor’s Meet By H. L. In the history of printing, such names as Aldus Manutius, William Caxton, and Nicolas Jensen are famous. Today they 'receive far greater recognition than in their own time. In San Francisco there is a print er whose fame is already spreading far abroad, while its growth accel erates with each new work that comes from his press. He is not striving for fame. Neither is his printing a business. Like the printers of old, he works at his ease or studies the famous printing of another age, with the sincere joy of creating works in type that will honor the art he has chosen. • John Henry Nash, master crafts man, will arrive tonight with a load of artistic, printing exhibits from his own press, which will be on display during the editors ’ confer ence here Friday and Saturday. Two years ago, Nash addressed the Oregon Newspaper conference for the first time, and he has re mained the sincere friend of the Oregon editors and the University. At the conference last year, a fine arts press was endowed by the edi tors, under the leadership of Mr. Nash, who, himself, is supervising the planning and printing of the first book to be printed by students. The editors of the state were quick to subscribe. $1,000 was pledged, almost immediately, and since that time, sums ranging from $5 to $100 have been coming in. The late President P. L. Camp bell’s philosophy of educational ideals, embodied in the unpublished manuscript found among his papers, entitled “Education and the State,” was selected as the first book for printing, and an introduction was written by President Arnold Ben nett Hall. Under the long-distance direction of Mr. Nash, work has been going forward on the book during the last two terms, and it is now set into type, and ready for the inspection of the master printer. At the conference this year, Mr. Nash will meet with the contribu tors to the endowment, and the se lection of a work for printing next year will be made. Last year the University conferred the honorary degree of doctor of laws on Mr. Nash. The master printer has created more than 20 volumes and broad sides. The only two volumes which he issued for sale were limited edi tions. They were, “Sonnets From the Portuguese,” by Elizabeth Bar rett Browning, and “Nicolas Jensen, Printer of Venice.” In 1923 he printed “The Silverado Squatters” in a special edition for paries Scribner’s Sons. Mr. Nash received the first prize award in the 1926 National Graphic Arts Leaders’ exhibit, in competi (Continued on page three) 15 Grads Return For Conference, It Is Estimated Classes Graduating Since 1909 Represented by Oregon Editors Of the 100 newspaper people who, it is estimated, will attend the ninth annual conference of the Oregon State Editorial association, about 15 per .cent are alumni of Oregon, representing classes which have graduated since 1909.

Honor Students Not Only Ones Under New Plan Upper Division Group Those Who Have Purpose, Says Dean Contrary to the belief of many students, it will not be necessary to be rated as honor students in order to continue in the University beyond the two years of junior col i lege work provided in the plan adopted by the faculty Wednes day, it was explained yesterday by Dr. George Rebec, dean of the grad uate school and chairman of the i committee recommending the plan. Under the plan as adopted, stu ; dents finishing the two years of general cultural work will be divid ed into three groups, said the dean. The first group will consist of those , who have completed the lower divi : sion requirements but are judged to be unsuited to continue as Uni versity students and might do better for themselves in some other sort of school. This group will be told that it is better that they should not i come back the next year. Those who wish for a further trial will be permitted to attend for two more terms, after which they will have to | leave if their record does not show improvement. A second group will be made up of students with good average 1 grades who have shown a serious ness of purpose in their studies. These will receive the junior cer j tificate with upper division stand Tlie junior certificate with honors privileges will go to a third group j who have not only satisfied the low ; er division requirements, but also ! certain others imposed by the hon ors council of the faculty. Selec tions for the honors privileges will be based on scholastic records, gen eral attitude toward studies, in dustry, psychological tests, and high school records. — i No Classes Today in Journalism Building No classes will be held in the Journalism building today because of the Oregon State Editorial Con ference scheduled for today and Saturday.

Yale Paleontologist Visits Geology Class Professor Charles Schuchert, pro fessor of paleontology in the Shef field Scientific School of Yale Uni versity, visited the 9 o’clock class of general geology Wednesday and gave an account of his beginning in his profession. Professor Schuchert wrote the second part of the text book used in this class, “Introductory Geol ogy.” Oregon Sixth Richest State Dr.Hall Shows Per Capita Wealth High Declares President At Assembly Research Big Need of Dormant Resources University Students Prove Best Ambassadors OREGON is one of the wealthiest states per capita in the Union, Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall told the assembly yesterday morning, basing his statement on research he has made during the last six months. Dr. Hall’s topic for his address in tin' Woman’s building was “Ambas sadors of the University.” At that time he gave some of the statistical facts which account for Oregon’s high ranking as a prosperous state. The evidence which includes fi nancial, industrial and education statistics, was compiled from a num ber of sources including the wealth census in the 1925 issue of the sta tistical abstract published by the United States Bureau of Education; from income statistics published by the National Industrial Conference Board in a recent book on the “Cost of Government in the U. S.” and from a report of the United States Bureau of Education. Road Building Extensive “The state of Oregon is sixth in the United States in per capita wealth and twelfth in per capita income. Excepting one state, Ore gon spends more money per capita for building roads than any other state in the Union,” said Dr. Hall. The state of Oregon, the president finds, is sending proportionally to population, more children to insti tutions of higher learning than is any other state in the Union ex cepting two. The people of this state own more automobiles per cap ita than any other state except one, he said. “The per capita taxation in Ore gon is $50 a year, and if the Uni versity had received all the appro priations that I would have had the courage to ask for, the additional tax on these people would have been 33 and one-third cents per person,” he said. High Cost of Smoking The men of the state spend seven times as much money on smoking as goes to higher education, and the women spend seven times as much on cosmetics as is given to higher education, continued Dr. Hall. “You are the best ambassadors of the University,” he said to the stu dents, “and it is you who must carry the message to the people of the state that the money spent by them on higher education in devel oping character and intellect is well spent,” he said. “I want you to believe in the pol icies and ideals which the admin istration of the University upholds to the extent which they commend themselves to your approval and judgment,” he said. The people must be made to realize that ade quate facilities for academic pur suits, for research and for a pro gram of adult education must be provided if the University is to function to its greatest extent. Research and Education “The importance of research is one of the most difficult tilings to get across to the public. We must prove that research has an impor tant part in education,” he said. People ask, “Why should I give my money to the support of a man who spends his entire life studying a bug, so small that it can only be seen under a microscope?” Yet it was because of the activity of one man who did devote himself to the study of a certain germ that the Panama canal was built, Dr. Hall stated. After the French had given up the task of building the canal and the American government took it over, it was this man who dis covered the relation between the mosquito and malaria and yellow fever, and wdio died for his experi ment, which made its construction possible. Benjamin Franklin might have been ridiculed out of existence in his scientific pursuits, but it was he who discovered electricity. Louis Pasteur, who the speaker asserted, has done more to lessen the sufferings of mankind than anv other man, w'orked in his dingy little Paris office in the late sixties, i to produce the results of his ex 1 periments to the world. In one year $100,000,000 worth (Continued on page tht,‘e/ Lurid Scandal Sheet Accomplishes Miracle HE cram week lias arrived -*- and persons who prior to now have been languid and en joying life are conquering the impossible—10 weeks work in one. Such energy if exhibited every other week of the term would bring about results so stu pendous that it would take years to call the honor roll, up yonder. Some wish that on the day of withdrawal they too had made spring term their winter term. But then the days of great reck oning will be here and then home and wait and wait — scandal sheet—the cry—hate and hate for I do not rate. But all study and no play makes students and the rest of the campus dull boys—and girls. Don’t think that all week long they study-Ah! no, for they eat, oh! how they eat. College Sides burst and Campa Shoppes are full with*— “Darn, I’ve got only 10 more papers to write—bring me an other tuna fish sandwich and cup of coffee—” Note: Eat plenty of fish—‘tis said to be brain food! Shows are over crowded and never was there such a seeming crave for fun. When do they study? All night long so that when they go home spring vaca tion family will think my, how the studies make dark circles under the eyes—those college circles! Oregon Finmen To Enter P. N. A. Meet at O. A. C Johnny Anderson to Swim 150-Yard Back Stroke And 100-Yard Dash The University of Oregon will be represented by three swimmers at the Pacific Northwest Association swimming meet which is to be held in Corvallis tomorrow, in the O. A. 0. pool. Johnny Anderson and Charles Sil verman, both of the freshman swim ming team, will be accompanied by Willis Fletcher, the only varsity man of the Webfoot squad to compete. Anderson, who was known in east ern circles chiefly as a 220 yard dash man, has been developed in the 100 yard free style and in the 150 yard back stroke since he has been swim ming for Oregon. Last Saturday he broke the existing P. N. A. record of :57.G, but lost his title when Orville Peterson, of O. A. C., broke it again in the varsity meet that followed the freshman competition. Peterson negotiated the distance in :57 flat. Anderson will also swim the 150 yard back stroke. He has been swim ming this event in practice in close to record time, but as it is against the conference rules for one man to enter more than three events he has been used in the 100 yard free style, the dives, and the relay. The present P. N. A. 150 yard back stroke record is held by George Schroth of Multnomah club at 1:50.6. The Pacific coast inter-collegiate record of 1:55.4 is held by Carl Ste venson of Stanford who also won the Golden Gate swim last year. Anderson has a good chance to break the roast record in this event, Ed Abercrombie, Oregon coach, said yesterday. Oregon will be represented in the 14n yard free style by Charles Sil verman, freshman swimmer. Silver | man has been splashing this distance in less than six minutes, and should give George Horsfall of M. A. A. C. a close race. Horsfall holds the P. X. A. record of 5:48. Willis Fletcher should give Hill Becker, M. A. A. C. present P. X. A. title holder of the 200 yard breast stroke, a close race. In a recent meet between Multnomah club and Oregon, Fletcher broke the for mer state record of 2:55 in this affair, but was defeated by Becker, who won the race and established the present record of 2:48. Frosh-Columbia Mix Precedes Varsity Go The University of Oregon fresh man quintet will play the Columbia University hoopsters tonight as a preliminary to the California-Ore gon championship tilt. This contest will start at 6:80 with the main go commencing at 8:00. The game was arranged when the editors’ banquet, slated for 6:30, made it necessary to delay the start ing of the varsity encounter.

Umpire, Fitz patrick. • By HAROLD W. MANGUM Sports Editor A BRILLIANT California team ■C*-was too much for the Oregon quintet last night in McArthur court, and the southerners took the first leg of the champ i o n 8 h i p playoff, 35 to 29. The Golden Bears, the smallest one of whom weighed 175 pounds, play ed a hard and fast game, de pending upon speed and long shooting for re westergren suits, and now are installed as favorites to win their fourth consecutive coast champion ship. The teams vie again tonight. If the Webfoots win, which is not at all impossible, the teams will light it out tomorrow night for the coast title. Roinhart’s men played great ball all the way, save for a tempor ary lapse in the middle of the sec ond half, which cost them the fra cas. The turning point of the con test came after five minutes of the second period had elapsed. Wester gren, who had been driving the Webfoots in their stubborn attack and defense, was caught committing his fourth foul, and expelled from the fracas. Goodbye, Algot As Westergren went out, a hush seemed to settle over the arena, and the battling lemon-yellow team sagged. The Californians, ever alert, seized the opportunity, and before the Webfoots could rally had shot themselves into a thirteen point lead and the ball game. The Bears might have won with Swede in there, and probably would for their shooting was nothing short of un canny, but Westergren’s going turned the tide of battle. When apparently hopelessly out classed, the Webfoots staged a fight ing last minute rally, and scored nine straight points to threaten the California lead as the game ended. Their fighting finish left the crowd at a fever pitch of enthusiasm, and willing to bet its last pair of carpet slippers on an Oregon victory to day. If the Webfoots play like they did that firht half, and like they ! did the last five minutes, nothing short of an eclipse of the sun, moon, and all the stars can stop them to night. Lead Ebbs and Flows The first half was rollicking fast, with the teams bandying the lead back and forth, to and fro, with each successful toss at the hemp. Six times during that first wild twenty minutes did the Webfoots hold the lead, and four times did the snarling Bears take the whip hand. Five times the score was (Continued on page four) Candidates for Y. W. Election Nominated At the mass meeting of the Y. W. C.
