Girls Present
Short Program
At Athletic Meet
Inra-Mural Contests Are
Expected to Make
Keen Rivalry
Point System to Be Basis
For Making Awards
A large number of freshman at
tended the first meeting of the
Women’s Athletic Association
Thursday afternoon. Masjoria and
Lelila Horton in sailor costumes
gave two snappy clogs, <-Ou Deck”
and “Yankee Doodle”. MalialaU
Kurtz was elected student head of
tennis for this year.
Nellie Johns, president, welcomed
the freshmen and gave a short his
tory of the organization explaining
how it was developed from a small
group of ten colleges in 1917 until
now representatives of one hundred
and fifty colleges meet at the na
tional convention every year. She
told how mass competition has grad
uallly become the big thing. Now
every girl may participate in the
sports instead of a few who used to
make the varsity team.
Intramural sports and how they
are conducted was explained by
Miss Mary Jo Shelley, one of the
faculty members. “We have tried
to find all types of activities to in*
terest all the girls as far as our
equipment goes,” she said. “I wish
to warn the freshmen that they
can’t always make a first team for
they have stronger competition here.
Go out for the sport and what you
can get out of it,” she advised.
Marjoria Horton explained the
point system. Every girl is put on
a team; those making first team
earn 100 points, second team 75
points, third team 50 points, fourth
team 05 points, and fifth team and
under 25 points. Girls making 500
points are given a small “O”, and
those making 1000 points are given
a white sweater with a large yellow
“O” on if.

games over big. The freshman as
sistants are now -being organized,
and McCall urges all interested first
year men to report to Frank Ger

Man Loses Own Personality in Crowd
Becomes Part of Mob, Crosland Says
Leader Needed to Arouse Emotions to Fever Pitch by
Violent Geaturea and Words, He Says
Wliat drives a football crowd
mad with excitement? What im
pels a mob of rioters to do acts of
violence f Why are people in mob*
usually of the lower classes?
Mob psychology.
Harold R. Crosland, associate pro
fessor of psychology, answered the
first two questions by declaring that
jn a mob a man is not himself.
“Every single person, in joining
himself to a crowd, drop^ his own
personality and becomes in a small
way one of them,” he said.
“He may be only ai^ onlpqker,
but nevertheless he undergoes a
slight reaction when he stops to
hear what the soap-box orator has
to say or to watch the yell-legders
go through their antics,”
Mr. Crosland is of the mind that
a mob docs' not involuntarily rouse
itself to a fever pitch. It much
have a leader, someone to arouse
emotions by violent gestures and
words.
“Take those Saeeo-Vanzetti riots
in Paris,” he said, “the ringleader
of the mobs stood before them wildt
ly haranguing them on the injus*
tice charged.
The leader goes through a series
of movements which gradually con
vey themselves to the men closest
to him. They become agitated and
movd about. There ’s a secret of
getting a mob to do things!
“When everyone is moving about,
maybe swing his arms and shout
ing, the spirit gets into them all.
When in a mob a man does things
he would not do otherwise.
“Whether he does them for fear
of being ridiculed as a coward or
merely through suggesion of every
body else around him doing the
same thing, we do not know,” l’ro
fessor Crosland declared,
j “You sit in the grandstand at a
| football game. Down in front tIre
yell leader jumps around. If ho is
violent enough and his rhythm in
| hi9 movements, he is bound to get
' results.
”Wrhen tverything is quiet you
| never saw a rooter jump up and act
mad—He's afraid of public opin
ion—but when all his fellow root
ers are doing the same he thinks
nothing of it,” the psychology pro
fessor asserted.
“Why are people who form mobs
usually of less intelligence?”
“Because a smart, intellectual
man does not jeillingly and easily
give up his own personality and
enter into dfobs. Smart men almost
never go in for fads—that’s mob
psychology again, only expressed in
a different way.”
Physical Education
Majors Transfer
To Oregon Campus
There are 77 majors in the physi
cal education department, of wo
men in comparison with seventy-one
last year. “The remarkable thing,”
says Miss Waterman, head of the
department, “is not in the increase
of numbers but in the .number of
transfers from other schools. We
have a small major department but
it is becoming well known on the
coast. We offer a straight physical
education course here, iwfliilo most of
the colleges make it a side course
to regular education,”
There are thirteen majors in the
senior class all of which were here
last year. The junior class has
fifteen majors of whom three are
transfers from Bellingham, Wash
ington, San Jose Normal school,
California, and the University of
Idaho.
The sophomore class boasts - the
largest number of transfeVs, having
seven. They have one from O. A.
0., four from the University of Cal
ifornia, one from Ashland Normal
school, and one from Idaho. There
are 17 last year’s majors, making
-1 in nil. The freshman class has
the largest number of majors. The
records showing twenty-five.
University High Girls
Giveli Physical Tests
That the matter . of health Is
swiftly becoming more and more
important in Orogon is shown bv the
fact that many high schools are
giving complete physical examina
tions to the students and showing
them health methods.
The University high school is one
of those which has adopted the
plan which is made possible by its
close association with the Univer
sity aim! its facilities. The girls
are given the same thorough exam
ination as the freshmen entering the
University, and the remedial work
is taught at the women’s gymnas
ium. One hundred and nineteen
University high school girls were
examined last Saturday by Dr.
Wilmoth Osborne, assistant Uni
versity physician.

Department Division
Brings Additional
Service to Students
A combination of the two depart
ments of botany and zoology into a
division of biology has been effect
ed under the chairmanship of Prof.
A. R. Sweetser of the plant biology
department.
This course will satisfy the group
requirements of Group III, auul in.
one of the courses for a major and
minor norm in biological sciences.
It comprises a one-year course of
two lectures and one laboratory
period, the first half of which is
taught by Professor Sweetser and
the second half by Professor Moore.
This one year elementary prere
quisite gives training in the basic
principles common to both plant and
animal biology, says Mr. Sweetser.
The advantage comes in the eli
mination «f one course a mb the
combination o'f the two under' divi
sions, he says.

Biggs and Beelar
Attend Student
Presidents’ Meet
Discuss College Problems,
Oregon Found to Be
Progressive
Hugh Biggs, as retiring student
body president, and Donald Beelar,
succeeding, attended the Pacific
Coast Student Body Presidents’
convention at Los Angeles, June 1,
U, ,'! and 4, and according to Beelar
a great deal of discussion was held
on problems which confront all of
the SO colleges represented.
Among the subjects discussed
were awards, freshman week, social
rules, relation of student govern
ment to faculty regulation, student
foes, student councils, graduate man
agers, publications, honor systems
and traditions.
The honor systems in use in the
various institutions varied, says
Beelar, from ,a strict student honor
system with 'absolutely mo faculty
supervision to a system in which
students taking examinations in dif
ferent courses were seated next to
each other, in order that no cheat
ing might bo possible, while in
structors policed the room rigidly.
A system such as that in use at Ore
gon predominated, however, stated
Beelar. The convention declared it
self in favor of a necessary amount
of corporal punishment for fresh
man offenders against traditions,
and found that wihlo traditions are
in some cases idle and superfluous,
yet for the .most part they are a
necessity in promoting the morale
and spirit of a school.
Last year the officers of the Stu
dent Body Presidents’ 'association
were George Guttoruisen of Wash
ington, president, and Hugh Biggs
of Oregon, secretary. This year the
officers 9re Wright Morton, Califor
nia, president; William Hanley, U.
S. C,, vice president, and Ursel Nar
ver, O. A. C., secretary. The next
convention will bo held at Missoula,
Montana.
A. H. Schoff Spends
Vacation Sketching
Oregon Coast Scenes
A. II. Sehroff, head of the paint
ing department of the school of
architecture and allied arts, will ex
hibit a group of paintings which lie
made this summer, of Oregon coast
scenery, in about u month, at the
gallery in the Art building. *
Instead of going to California,
where he has spent his summers for
.the past eight or nine years, Mr.
Sehroff decided to try the Oregon
coast country as subject for his
work. lie was near Newport in
the region of Oei’oe bay, a good
deal of the time.
The weather hindered Mr. Sehroff
somewhat. II is first canvas was
blown off the easel and over the
cliff on which he was painting, in
a wind and rain storm, but was
later recovered from the rocks be
low, and used. Several times, Mr.
Sehroff stated, the huge umbrella
under which he sheltered himself
was almost Imwn overthe edge of
the precipice, in a high gale.
Frames for the 20 oils and H
water colors whic.h he made, are
being made in San Francisco. They
will be ready in about .'10 days, and
the exhibition will be held soon
after their completion.

is a well known place to all students
who have been at Oregon the past few
years. To the new students a word of
explanation:
The Anchorage is different from
other places because of its cozy and
homelike atmosphere. Three fireplaces
maintain a cheerful air and are popu
lar places to sit around and talk things
over. Noon luncheons and dinners are
served at reasonable prices and a la
carte service at all other times. The
Soda Fountain is also open any time.
Make the Anchorage your meeting
place. We have a fine Electrola, with
the latest music for your enjoyment,
and want you to feel free to come and
stay as long as you like.

"IF”
Audacious engineers are filling our
popular publications with descriptions
of the cities of the future. We have all
seen their prophetic pictures: tiers of
gigantic buildings rising one hundred,
two hundred, three hundred stories
above four or five levels of street.
All the ingenuity of these prophets
is required to explain away, even
theoretically, certain problems of con
struction. IF this material can be made
to bear so much more strain; IF means
can be devised to ensure a solid foun
dation —7F, IF.
One important detail, however, is
always taken for granted. "There will
be express elevators,” they say, "from
the various street levels to the hun
dredth and two hundredth floor.”
! THERE-WILL BE! We find no "if"
in connection with the elevators.
For all builders have come to expect
a perfect solution of every interior
transportation problem, no matter
how audacious. As the cities of the
future are being planned, the OTIS
COMPANY expects that dependable
vertical transportation will continue to
be taken for granted by architects, en
gineers, and the public.
Mr. Hugh Fcrr'm has visioned many outstanding gigantic
"buildings of the future. ” This reproduction is particularly
appropriate at this time and special permission has been
granted to use this illustration in college publications.
