The proposed amendment would strengthen the already existing scholarship and activities board, whose members would maintain a coaching staff for the benefit of students engaged in activities who need help in making the required grades. In addition, the board would make a careful check regu larly of all students in extra-cur ricular activities of any nature, to see that they do not fall behind in grade points, which would make them ineligible for that activity. Debate (Continued from page one) orders. Only the wealthy are in control of the newspapers, and al most without exception all papers are on the side of economic privi lege.” lie advocated the founding of a professional society among journalists, with complete control over its members and authority to punish those who violated its code of ethics. Biggs summed up the argument for Oregon, saying that newspapers could not be condemned simply be cause they were powerful. “News papers,” lie said, “are governed by economic and commercial factors Die same as other enterprises. If we limit their power, we shall de stroy the very means by which they exist.” In the rebuttal 1lie Oregon men attached the Cambridge contention of ovor-sensationalization with the contention that, newspapers must eater to the desires of their read ers if they arc to exist. The En glishmen, on the other hand, defend ed their statements on the ground that tabloid papers and yellow journalism have risen in Ibis coun try in the past twenty-five years, supplanting many of the older, more conservative papers. “The Cambridge debate team is by far the best that I have ever seen,” said .T. K. Horner, Oregon debate coach, in commenting on last night’s contest. “It is much better than that of either Oxford or Australia. In fact,, 1 believe to night’s debate was the best inter national contest that I have ever seen.” Dope Points to California for 1928 Hoop Title Idaho, Washington, and Oregon Slate Strong In Northwest ITIv Pacific Intercollegiate Press) TIN IV EI1HITY OF CALIFORNIA, Berkeley, Dec. fi—It is going to take a team of more than average ability to break the strangle bold that Cali fornia has held on the conference basketball title during the past four years. Oregon has represented the North in the last two seasons .and has yet to take a game from a Price coached team. They will probably have tg wait for quite a time before they turn the trick, as it is not, in the • cards for them to take the northern Title again. Both Wcstergren and Okerbcrg, nll-Coast guard and center respectively, will be lost to the Lemon-yellow. Either Washington or Idaho are doped to beat out Ore gon ^his season. As the different conference teams in California now line up, it looks like most of the Bears’ competition is corning from tlie two Southern California teams. Oregon Gets Low Berth On Basketball Lineup (lly Pacific TntevcolWmte Press) WASH I NCI TON STATE COL LEGE, Dec. 2—In 1 ho approaching basketball race in tho northern di vision of tho Pacific, conference, the University of Iilalio stands a good chance of annexing the title, de clares Coach Karl Schlademan, Cou gar basketball mentor, in sizing up life hoop situation in the Northwest. Washington and Oregon State loom as strong contenders for top honors while Oregon, Montana and Wash ington State are slated for the lower division. A wealth of material is to be had at Washington and Oregon State and these two institutions can be counted upon having powerful teams in tin1 field, according to the Cougar coach. Oregon, last year’s champ ions, has been hit hard by gradua tion and will have difficulty in building up a winning'team. Mon tana will find tough going to climb up the conference ladder from the cellar. Pledging Announcement Alpha Delta Pi announces the pledging of Hope Perry, Portland, Oregon. American Capital Helps Modernize New Zealand': Says Robert McAlpin Oregon Man Travels as Sailor; Ham ami Eggs, Tohaeeo, Sell At Exorbitant Rates “Just try to got ham and eggs in | a Now Zealand restaurant,” said Robert McAlpin, sophomore in Die j business administration soli&ol, in an ! interview recently. “Like a. tailor made suit—one lias to liavc* them made to order.” McAlpin made a trip to that coun try last, year on the R. S. Dewey of Seattle as an able-bodied seaman. Ho maintains that the trip has been of utmost value to him in many ways. It, has laid the foundation for his course in foreign trade, given him a broader view point toward life in general and made him appreciate the value of a college education. All college men, he believes, should be given an opportunity to rub up against the more seamy side of life. New Zealand at present, McAlpin says, is r|uito backward in certain respects due to the clinging to old country ideas and the almost com plete isolation of Die country from the rest of the world. Of course, the islands have the telegraph and cable, but they depend on shipping for their most intimate touch. He says that, as in Vancouver and Vic toria, B. C., their parks and street improvements are to a certain ex tent superior to those of the United States, but that commercially they are two nr three boats behind the modern world. With the advent of trade with the United States, however, things com mercial have been given a new lease on life in New Zealand. This activ ity has become much brisker, and since American capital has gone in many modern improvements have been made. Particularly is this noticeable, in shipping facilities. At Dunedin, Auckland and other ports, many new wharves and warehouses have been erected to care for the increase in trade. It is in business that the bolder ideas of the Ameri can capitalists clash with the old fashioned traditions which New Zea landers have carried from the old country. A gradual change to the more modern idea is taking place however. The Maoris, natives of the coun try, are a very interesting type of | Polynesian, according to McAlpin. The race is slowly dying out, how ever, duo to the attempt on their part to adapt, the customs of the white man. The Maoris live in houses in the cities, like the other people, but are being crowded out by the northerners. The newspapers arc of the Eng lish typo with advertisements on the J first page, few and simple headlines and the stories written in a rather : dry, chronological style. Mr. McAlipin states that here, as: in other parts of the United King-! dom, the labor element is powerful j politically. This organization more or less controls the elections and has an extremely strong member ship. Labor government has been very successful in New Zealand, i since those in control wielded their power wisely. The chief occupations of Die coun try are agriculture, sheep raising and mining. The majority of the people not in cities live from the soil and make a very substantial liv ing. Sheep raising is perhaps the biggest occupation. The st >ry of •the many poor boys who havo come from England and other countries to New Zealand to raise sheep and made fortunes is well known to everyone. Wool is the chief item of export. Mining, while it has not been so extensive of Into years, is coming into its own with the advent A Remington Port able for Christmas See our window display and find out about our easy payment plan.

Not only did Mr. McAljdn find bis 1mm and eggs a luxury, but other things as well. J hires on such things are high beeauso of the cost, of shipping them in. At the time of McAlpin’s visit, gasoline was selling for GO cents the imperial gallon, and the price^of American tobacco was so exorbitant as to be prohibitive. The Oregon man was 47 days at sea on his return voyage from Dune- [ din, >7. 7,., to San Francisco. ‘‘I had plenty of opportunities then to think over what I had seen,” he said, “and I resolved that nothing should stand in the way of my edu cation. No sailor’s life for me.” Spring Golf Plans Include Two Major Meets for Oregon Oregon is rapidly coming to the fore among the coast schools in the I popular sport, of America, namely the ancient and honorable 'game of golf. Plans arc being made to make the coming season the most success ful so far. Last year the •Lemon yellow divot men defeated the Ag gie four-man team in a home and home match, and then Kd Crowley and Lloyd Barley entered in the In tercollegiate Northwest Tournament at Corvallis, and after defeating such star entries as Chuck Hunter from IT. of W., Barley won first place, and Ed Crowley tied with Hunter for third, giving Oregon the Northwest title. The tentative schedule for next spring includes a game with the University of Washington, probably here, with four man teams, and a home and home match with tlie O. A. C. niblick wiclders. The size of of the teams in this match lias not yet been decided, though it is prac tically certain that the number will exceed the usual four, in addition to these matches, Oregon will send two men to the Northwest confer ence again. This tournament is al ways hold at the same place which is chosen for the Northwest conference track meet. Later in the summer another two man team will be sent to the Pacific Const Conference which is scheduled to be held at the San Francisco Country Club. Bob Giffen and Ed Crowley will probably form the nucleus for the 3 928 squad, as they wore both on the team last year. The graduation of Lloyd Barley leaves a very hard position to be filled, but on the whole the Oregon prospects in golf take on a very rosy tinge as the time approaches.
