Registration At Conference Makes Record Three - Day Session Is Proposed for 1929 Press Meet A total of 143 prominent Oregon newspaper men and women were registered yesterday afternoon for the Tenth Annual Oregon State Newspaper conference. This num ber is a greal increase over last year’s registration, ‘ which totalled ^ 95. It is expected that many more will be registered before the close of the tonference. A persistent demand has develop ed, especially among the editors of daily papers, to have next year’s conference begin Thursday morning instead of Friday, making a three day session instead of the tradition al session of two days. Dean Allen stated that this will be done next year if the daily editors, at their separate session this afterno’on, prove to be united in the opinion that a Thursday session to be de voted to the problems of daily pap ers would be a success. “The largo attendance waB a sur prise to me,” said Dean Allen, “we had calculated that the . conference had reached the possible maximum last year, and that as many editors as might be reasonably expected -at any one time to get away from their work were in attendance. It seem ed as if the future increase in attend ^ ance could only come with the grad ' ual growth of tho state’s popula tion. Perhaps the good weather helped some, as well as the satisfac tion expressed with the high qual ity of the papers contributed by the newspapermen on the programs.” Those attending the conference are: Guy Hughes, Bulletin, Harrisburg; Alex Gabriel'sen, Clark Co.

Oregon Professors Ratify Vagabonding System Established University professors and stu dents, when questioned at random, were found to be unanimously in favor of the new System of vaga bonding recently started on the University of Oregon campus and the column devoted to the adver tising of lectures in the Emerald. “I think it’s a great thing,” said Dr. Rudolph Ernst, of the English department. We always used to do it when I was in school. I haven’t had many students vagabonding in my classes, because my lectures are for the most part very informal, and unless the students have had the background they cannot understand them very well.” E. T. Hodge of the geology de partment, and Walter C. Barnes, professor of history, both thought the idea fitted in well with the Uni versity’s honor system plan. They agreed that, though few had been in their classes, that the plaij was worth continuing. Warren D. Smith, head of the de partment of geology, believed the plan was not only a stimulation to the students but to the professors themselves, as the latter would try to ma^e their lectures really worth while. • Dean George Rebec, head of philosophy, stated that he had been most successful in having the students visit his classes and that lie thought the plan very beneficial. John Anderson, sophomore in economics; Lillian Bramliall, senior in zoology; Marvin Chesebro, sopho more in chemistry;* and John But ler, junior in geology, all thought that the vagabond column was a fine thing. An improvement sug gested by a number of them was to have the column run the. day be fore in order to enable the students to plan to attend the lectures bet ter. Tonight’s Game Promises 1 o Be Battle Royal Anderson Breaks Coast Conference Swim Records in 3 Events By RICHARD H. SYRING Sports Editor It will be a battle royal tonight when the University of Oregon basketball team tangles with the Don McCook urogon state Beavers in Cor vallis. The out come of tonight’s fracas determines, to a great extent, the status which either team will enjoy when the coast, conference season ends. The game marks the last home contest on the Aggia luuh; lor nexi irei'j doth teams take the road. A victory tonight would place either Oregon or the Oregon Staters in a tie with the University of Washington. That is, of course, assuming that the Huskies would be beaten on their own court. » » * Coach Billy Reinhart and his bas keteers leave next Wednesday morn ing on one of the hardest confer ence trips ever scheduled. In 10 days the Webfoots are slated to meet six hoop teams, four being conference quintets. The first con flict is with the Whitman College Missionaries at Walla Walla, Feb ruary l(i. In a game played in Mc Arthur Court earlier in the season, this non-conference five defeated the Webfoots, 27 to 26. The next encounter will be with the Idaho Vandals, February 18. Playing on Idaho’s small floor the Oregonians will have a tough time of it. The following Monday night will find the rough and tumble Washington State Cougars of Pullman as com petition. The next night finds the Webfoots in Spokane, where they meet the Gonzaga University Bull ojn'e- bn • February -23;' and then t Lemon-yellow five will journey to Seattle, where in the last confer ence game of the season, they will try to avenge an earlier Washington Husky victory. All told, the Oregon hoop squad will travel approximately 1,332 miles. These are record-breaking days for Johnny Anderson, Oregon water speed demon. To break a Pacific coast record seems to be mere child’s play for this former 1926 national intersckolastie 220-yard champion and former, member of national champion 300-yard medley. It was when Johnny was a student at Mercerberg Academy, Mercer berg, Pennsylvania, that all these noble deeds were performed. Anderson’s recent performance in the Oregon tank lowered the Pa cific coast record in the 50-yard long course when he splashed through the waters for a 25.2. This breaks the Stanford swimmer, Wil liams’, record, by four seconds. An other Stanford nata tot’s best time, 19.4, for the 40-yard short course was lowered by Anderson with a 19.1. This record was previously held by Vanden Akker. Not that Anderson has anything in particular against Stanford, but Driggs’ record of 1:49.8 in the 150 yard backstroke was also shattered by a 1:49.5. • Breaking three conference records is nothing for Anderson, however. RIALTO Junction City SUNDAY SAY IT YOURSELF— —but— PROVE IT WITH FLOWERS On St. Valentine’s Day we will take to her door, some flowers to prove wliot you said the night before. Raup’s Flower Shop 988 Willamette Phone 616 Wednesday afternoon during prac tice, Johnny turned up a new rec ord in the 100-yard short course dash with a 55.5. This breaks the record of Peterson, O. S. C. swim mer, of 57 seconds flat. When you’ve swam in 41 inter collegiate races you easily earn the monicker of “Iron-man.” This is the term dubbed Don McCook, two lettered varsity water performer, who, when ho swims against the Oregon Aggies, February 18 in Cor vallis, will be participating in his 42nd race for Oregon. McCook will be entered in the freestyle relay. During the past two years he has swam every event except the breast stroke. Newspaper Group Organizes To Handle Foreign Advertising A new organization in Oregon newspaper circles was started yes terday morning when representatives of newspapers from all parts of the state met and organized a group which will be known as “Selected Oregon Newspapers.” The organization will enable for eign advertisers to practically blan ket the state in an advertising way by using the Portland papers and the list of Selected Oregon Papers, according to Robert W.

Market conditions which are available for advertisers to reach will be brought out through the discussion of the different parts of the state where the selected papers are located.

St. Opera Numbers To Be Presented Next Wednesday Second Act of Flowtow's ‘Martha’ Will Be Sung By Quartet A scone from “L'a Boheme,” the second aft of “Martha,” and sev eral solo interpretations of selec tions from operas will be included in the program given by the opera classes of Madame Rose McGrow, soprano, next Wednesday evening at 8:15 in the auditorium of the Music building. The second act of “Martha” will be sung by a quartet consisting of Gretcheu Kier, soprano; Louise Storla, contralto, Kenneth Allen, tenor, and Donald Ostrander, bari tone. Martha, the heroine, is in reality Lady Harriett, bored with a surfeit of luxuries and suitors. She decides for novelty to go to the country fair dressed as a peasant girl in company with her maid, Nancy, and hire out to keep house for some farmer, according to the custom of country girls at that time. She persuades one of her suitors, the elderly and dignified Sir Tristam, to accompany them on the lark. The scene from Puccini’s “La Boheme” will be snug by Janet Pierce, soprano, and Adrien Burris, tenor, while the opera solos will be given by Paulino Outhrey, Fay Finley, Jack Dennis, Maldon Hor ton, and Harry Scougall. In the class work Madame Mc Grow has given special training in developing the personality of the individual students by having them enter wholeheartedly into the dra matic element of the operas. The two classes in beginning and ad vanced work now include twenty students and are open to any one who wishes to cultivate stage presence. Hey! Hey!
