‘Rights, Use and
(Abuse,’ Topie of
Assembly Talk
Shirrell Greets Guests
Beelar Introduees
Group Heads
"Tour job in college anil high
'school is to learn to got a maximum
of enjoyment out of your rights of
citizenship without abusing them,”
■declared William .1. Cooper, super
intendent of public, instruction of
California, who addressed the high
school delegates and university stu
dents yesterday morning at the wel
coming assembly of the high school
conference. llis subject was:
“Right, Use and Abuse.”
“It is quite simple to grasp the
principle of the rights of life and
of property, lint it. is difficult to
adapt one’s self to the rights of
liberty because this depends upon
the right attitude. Liberty is the
most difficult right of all to use
and respect. It seems 1o me that
the question of understanding lib
erty is for Die high school and col
lege students,” the speaker said.
Regulations Necessary
Tim corner of Seventh and Broad
way streets in Los Angeles is con
sidered the busiest corner in the
world, and the rental indicates that
it is so in reality, according to Mr.
Cooler, To thought hack to the
spot fifty years ago when a man
could have fired a gan off in any
direction and done no harm, and said
that if a man so much as carried a
gun to that corner today he would
be jailed, for there are thousands
of others that have as many rights
ns he.
Tri a school with only one private
tutor as teacher, feiv restrictions
are needed, but as more and more
people accumulate more regulations
are necessary, according to Mr.
Cooper. In the same vein, it is for
41m purpose of learning to use the
rigths that there are student bodies
in tlm schools, so that the students
may learn to exercise their own
rights and protect those of others.
Training; Not Preparation
Mr. ( ooper said that as the pen
nlty for a minor offense, (lie law
takes away two or tliroo or four
dollars, as part of tlio law-breaker’s
property; as the penalty for a more
serious act, ten days in the county
jail, perhaps, takes away part of
his liberty; as the penalty for a
plan to take away someone elsp’s
right to life, the offender loses his.
“Tiie function of a school is not
to prepare for citizenship but to
train in citizenship. The right of
life is probably the most cherished
of nil rights,” stated' 'Mr, Cooper.
“With the birth of a citizen, he is
entitled to the protection of the
police of his city, the sheriff’s office
of his county, the national guard
of his state, and, in ease of attack
by another nationality, the army
and navy.”
Shirrcll Welcomes Guests
The remedy for theft is, in the
Rpoalcor\s opinion, the oncournge
Jttent to save, in order that by the
aecuimilntion of private property
by one’s own sacrifice of present
wants to future wants, one may res
pect other's right to property.
Dean Elmer L. Shirrcll, who wel
comed the visiting students in the
place of President Arnold Bennett
Hall, who has recently undergone
a -minor operation, ex-pressed the
hope that when t he “proppers” had
gone home they would say they were
glad they had been here, and that
while they are here they will talk
together of mutual problems that
will bo a benefit to them in the year
te come,
Beoler Introduces Heads
“The campus will judge all of
your city as you are. We’re inter
ested in you because some day you
may come to us. Tf you are inter
ested we will lie glad to tell you
what Oregon can give you and what
we have to offer. We would like
you to leave with a kindly feeling
for us. ^ ou certainly are welcome
at the University of Oregon," ltean
Shirrcll said to the delegates.
Donald Beelar, president of the
associated students, introduced Ken
neth Allen, president of the high
school student body officers; David
Wilson, president of the press asso
ciation, and Ethel Elliott, head of

amount of advertising from each
group. This organized plan would
probably result in the paper's mak
vponey instead of showing a de
ficit at the end of the year.
“Stories which make a paper are
not always the big ones,” said May.
He compared the big stories to the
outside dress of a person, and the
shorter ones to the finishing touches

•which give color and harmony to
the whole.
Above all, May advised high
School editors not to ‘'tramp on the
thin edge of humorous ice.” This,
ho said, is the commonest fault of
such papers, and editors should re
member that “A cad may be clever
but never great.”
Turnbull Teaches Technique
“Try for direct quotations,” said
George Turnbull, professor of Jour
nalism, in his talk on “Newswriting
Technique” before the editors’ ses
sion yesterday afternoon. “How
ever,” continued Professor Turnbull,
“be certain that you don’t .just
guess at what is said.”
“Take notes rapidly and accur
ately,” said Ihe speaker, “as it isn’t
possible to trust' to memory for the
important, details. Details are very
important, as they add life to a
news storv.”
Annual Managers Meet
8am Kin ley, manager of I lie 1028
Orogana, presided over the meetings
! of the managers of high school an
i nuals in the journalism building yes
terday afternoon. Walter W. It.
May, of the Oregonian, gave a talk
to this group on “Sources of Ad
vertising. ”
“Begin high and come down,” ad
vised May in speaking of the meth
od of getting the biggest advertis
ing space possible. “Give yourself
a chance to ease down, say from a
full-page to a half-page ad.”
Annual Editors Advised
“Design and Color Harmony” was
the subject for a talk by Abbott
Lawrence, assistant art, editor of
the 1028 Orogana, before the high
school editors of annuals held yes
terday afternoon. There are five
essential characteristics to a good
yearbook, according to Lawrence.
They are: Unity, balance, rhythm,
variety and harmony.
“Photography for Reproduction”
was discussed by Ernest Ellis of
Kennell-Ellis Portrait Studios, Eu
gene.
“ Photography for yearbooks is the
most difficult kind of work,” said
Ellis. “The shading of all back
ground must be the same, and all
head sizes must match in order to
reproduce smoothly when pictures
are given to the engravers.”
Capacity crowds were in attend
ance at the 'meeting of the editors
of annuals, which was presided over l
by Mary Benton, editor of the 3928
Oregano, University of Oregon year
book.

ieneo of students and ndministra
Live offices, and the material bene
fit of the now University infirmary,
plans for the construction of which
are now under way.
Women \s League will conduct the
sale of the envelopes, which will
be stamped and will bear in the
upper left hand corner some slogan
or phrase to acquaint, the public
with the needs of a now infirmary
for the campus.
The plan was initiated by the
Women’s League following the ex
ample system established at Stan- (
ford and other universities after the ,
abolition of the grade sheet, and j
although the uniform envelope will
not be compulsory, its use will be
of considerable convenience to the
students and to the administrative
offices in filing.
Kach envelope is to cost five cents,
the returns of the sale to be given
bv the Women’s League to the
building fund for the new infirmary.
In successive years the funds from
the sale will bo given to various
benefits as they arise.
The complete details of the ap
pearance and method of distribu
tion of the envelopes will soon be
worked out under the direction of
Dorothy Baker, who has been ap-1
pointed by Esther Ilardy, president
of the Women’s League, to carry!
out the plan.

26 points which was nearly half of
the total Oregon score.
It didn’t take the varsity long
to locate the hoop last night, and
Scotty Milligan, playing center for
the first time, scored three minutes
after the opening whistle, when
Berilla fouled. (lord Hidings then
began his long string of baskets
with a pretty shot from the foul
line and the Webfoots continued to
pile up tho points at better than
one-a-minute. The first Gonzaga
score came after six and a half
minutes of jday when Berilla scored
on Milligan’s foul, making the
score Oregon 7 to the visitors’ 1.
Bulldogs Score After 11 Minutes
Gonzaga’s first field goal came
after 11 minutes of play when Jo
viek, Bulldog forward, scored a
ringer right under his basket. The
Oregonians kept a steady stream of
shots at the basket and at half
time the score stood Oregon 29 to
Gonzaga’s 8.
One of the improvements in the
Oregon team was its offensive. Last
night saw a fast breaking, shifting
forward attack which all but smoth
ered the Bulldog's. A number of
erratic passes were made by Kein
liart’s men, but this can be at
tributed to the speed of the attack
and the impetus behind the passes.
Dowsett Plays Good Game
Scotty Milligan at center looked
good, considering this was his first
contest at the* pivot position. Big
Dave Epps did some nice checking.

The Gonjaga team plainly showed
the effects of its road trip, seeming
languid at. times. Conch Clipper
Smith’s proteges couldn’t find the
circle hoop last night, making only
six field goals out of 48 attempts.
Defensively the team looked a lit
tle better with John Kennedy, Gon

nently. Kennedy scored only one
field goal during the tilt but this
was a beautiful long shot from the

Delegates Entertained
By Alpha Delta Sigma
Business managers of high school
newspapers and annuals were guests
of Alpha Delta Sigma, national ad
vertising honorary, at the Anchor
age yesterday noon. Alton JF. Baker,
publisher of the Eugene Daily
Guard, local newspaper, was -dhe
speaker of the occasion, choosing
as his topic, “How Best to Learn
the Newspaper Game.” During his
talk, Mr. Baker reminisced of ex
periences which he encountered as
advertising manager on the Cornell
Sun, when lie used to attend col
lege. Milton George, president of ;
the group, presided at the luncheon, j
Committee for
Limiting Dance
Expense Chosen
Officers’ Club Permitted
To Petition Scabbard
and Blade
A committee for the purpose of
determining a method of placing a
limit on the money expended for
class and University dahees was
appointed by Donald Beelar,
president of the A. S. U. O.,
when the student council held its
first meeting of the winter term
Wednesday.
■ Don McCook, president of the
senior class, was present at the meet
ing and asked Ihe student council
to consider the matter. It was
pointed out that exorbitant sums
had been expended due to the fact
that: there was no limitation, that
such affairs would be as pleasur
able with less elaborate decorations
and that materials of previous
dances could be utilized, as well.
The committee appointed to investi
gate the matter is <#Doe” Eobinett,
chairman; Dean Elmer Shirrell, Don
McCook, and Wendell Gray.
The Officers’ club, honorary or
ganization in the military depart
ment, according to action taken by
tlie council, will be permitted to
petition for membership in Scabbard
and Blade, senior military national
honorary society. As pointed out
in the letter from the Officers’ club,
the University of Oregon campus
is the only one on the coast having
no such organization.
Esther Hardy, president of Wo-,
man’s League, read the constitution
of that body, the student council
accepting it as revised after dis
cussion. The constitution, Miss
Hardy explained, was inadequate
and -wag entirely revised rather than
amended.
In reviewing hie experiences at
the N. fl. F. A. convention in Lin
coln, Nebraska, during the holidays,
President Boelar urged the Oregon
student council to keep always to
its purpose. Much laxity in this
concern was brought out at the re
cent meeting of colleges and uni
versities from all over the country.
Student government, Mr. Beelar be
lieves, has a definite purpose.
Compulsory Military
Training Not Favored
By Visiting Educator
*‘T believe that militarism is a
condition of the emotions and that
training in the educational institu
tion would not tend to make men
fight much better in time of war
than if they had not been trained
at all. It is the same impulse that
makes men fight or want to fight.”
This was the statement of Wil
liam J. Cooper, superintendent of
public instruction in California, and
the leading speaker at the high
school educators’ conference here,
when interviewed Friday.
Mr. Cooper expressed himself as
adverse to the kind of training that
is not existent in the United States|
Military training in California col
leges and universities, with the ex
ception of the Ik of S. C., is not
compulsory as it is in Oregon, he
said.
In his talk before the educators’
session, Mr. Cooper suggested that i
students bo allowed to pick the j
kind of activities they wanted, when 1
they wanted them as. long as they I
did not overdo the proposition. He
praised extra-curricula activities for j
they stimulate ambition in the stu-!
dent and give him good training. I

“It’s the very latest--”
To most women nothing is so old as last year’s hat. Nnless
it be her last year’s dress, or coat, or skirt length.
Men can’t understand it. They laugh genially at such
simple-minded folly. And while they laugh, they are
thinking of how queer the old car looks, even though it’s
only two season’s old, and how old-fashioned last year’s
neckties make a man seem. ' ^
In other words, men are about the same as women
when it comes to wanting “the latest.” It’s a desire shared
by everybody who is young in spirit, eager to be in on
everything new and different. It’s the most human thing
in the world—to want the newest, the latest, the best.
The surest way to know what is the latest is to read ad
vertising. The advertisements in this newspaper show you
what the new styles in millinery are. They settle the
question of skirt-lengths. They’ll show the newest modls
in overcoats; in touring cars and sedans and roadsters.
And they’ll keep you posted on the latest developments
in everything that makes up life. The newest theories of
nutrition, the most recent additions to radio, the latest
tooth-paste and silverware and household appliance. . .
Read the advertisements in this newspaper faithfully.
Get the habit. Not tomorrow — but today, at the very
latest.
No advertisement dares to be
out-of-date
