Preparations for the first canoe
fete in two years received their in
itial impetus yesterday with the an

nounccment or a
staff of assistants
by Kay Herndon
chairman. Bur*
McElroy was ap
pointed assistant
chairman and
Ronald McCreight,
business manager.

and traffic; and Chalmers Nooe,
publicity.
“Selections on the committee were
made with the view of getting the
assistance of those who will help
put over the fete in a commendable
manner,” said Herndon. “Since
this will be the first fete in two
9 years, we are formulating plans of
making this year’s event _au out
standing one.”
Mill Race Repaired
Last vear the fete had to be
abandoned owing to the inability
to repair the damage done to the
walls of 'the mill race by spring
floods in time for Junior Week-end.
Conere'te reinforcements have been
installed near the head of the race
where the flood pressure is unusu
ally severe and it is hoped this evil
will be remedied in the future.
The increase of living organiza
tions on the campus has made it
necessary to limit the number of
floats which can be entered in the
• canoe fete. Plans are being worked
out now whereby a general rotating
system, similar to the one devised
last year, will allow the organiza
tions to compete two out of three
years.
A meeting of the entire committee
has been called today at 3 o’clock
in room 104, Journalism building,
by the chairman. A general outline
and discussion of the preliminary
plans will be taken up.

The honor for arousing fond de
votion from a far-off maiden goes
to Jack Hempsted, of the around
the-world debaters, who received a
letter in rhyme from a miss in
Columbus, Mississippi, in fact, a fair
co-ed from the Mississippi State
College for Women.
* Among the prize lines from the
epistle are: “Now, kind friend,
send me your reply. Let me be your
wife until I die.” And “I have
given you the foremost chance, this
was decided at a glance.”
It is not stated whether a picture
was included in the letter or not,
but if Jack fails to reach home,
don’t worry, he’s probably applied
for a position as debate coach at
the Mississippi College for Women.

Dorland Robinson Paintings on
Exhibit at Art Building For Week
The Dorland Robinson paintings,
which were a gift to the University
made several years ago by Dr. and
Mrs. Robinson of Jacksonville, Ore
gon, are now on exhibition at the
little gallery in the art building, and
will be there for a week or more,
Ellis F. Lawrence, dean of the
school of architecture and the allied
arts, announced today. These paint
ings are exhibited at different times
during tl»e year, Dean Lawrence
said, and are temporarily stored in
the gallery until a place shall be
provided for them in the new Fine
Jk Arts Museum.
The 26 paintings now on exhibi
tion are done in the varying me
diums, oil, water color, and pastel.
In the group are included still life
studies, interiors, and several pretty
water colors of flowers in vases
and bowls.
“Some of the paintings are fine
examples of professional work,”
said Dean Lawrence, “although
some are only in the student stage.
When the gift was made, it _was
thought that study of the paintings
would be beneficial to the students
of painting in the school of archi
tecture and allied arts.
“Donald Robinson, who showed
great promise as an artist, was
a former Oregon girl and it was
♦
a groat loss to the art life of Ore
gon. when she died several years
ago at an early age. Many of her
paintings were accepted in *tlie
larger exhibitions in the East,
where she studied with noted teach
ers. Some of her best studies were
made at her studio in Jacksonville,
Oregoh, where she worked when
she was not in New York.”
A panoramic view of the town of
Jacksonville, in oil, made in the
winter of 1916, is unusually inter
esting. Soft colors are used to
bring out the likeness of the small
town buildings with startling clear
ness.
“Winter Day” is one of the most
outstanding of the collection, in the
opinion of Dean Lawrence. This
study in oil shows a eountry house
in the foreground, and gives a pecu
liar effect of elouded coldness in
the air by the use of predominating
buff, tan and orown. In the back
ground a hill, partially obscured by
fog, may be seen.
A typical pasture scene is por
trayed in “Landscape — Aspen
Trees,” which is done in pastel
crayon. The clump of aspens, which
forms a cool patch of shade in the
meadow, where sheep are pastured,
are exceedingly realistic, as is the
sky, in which a few fleecy clouds
seem to float.
Itinerary of
Music Tours
Is Announced
Orchestra To Give Short
. Theater Programs in
Southern Oregon
Girls’ Glee To Appear
In Portland and Salem
Men Have Contract With
Broadway
Definite arrangements have been
made for the annual' orchestra and
glee club tours, according to Ron
ald Robnett, general music mana
ger. Assisted by Ronald Kretzer,
manager of the men’s glee club; Al
fred Cousins, manager for the wo
men’s glee club; Edward Best, man
ager of the orchestra, and Herbert
Lasselle, business manager, Robnett
has practically completed negotia
tions for the itineraries of each or
ganiation.
Women’s Glee Tnp First
The first trip will be taken by
the women’S glee elub. On Mon
day, March 5, the club will present
a full evening’s program at the Ma
sonic lodge in Portland. The num
bers are virtually the same as
those which will bo given in the
homo concert, April 4. The first
part of the program consists of con
trasting numbers, “"Knowest Thou
the Land,” Thomas opera “Mignon,”
“Tallyho,” an old English hunting
song by Franco Leony, and “Old
Road,” by J. P. Scott.
Anna Kmthefine Garrett, soprano,
and Doris Helen Patterson, harpist,
will be featured as soloists on the
concerts of the Women’s Glee club.
Miss Patterson-’s solos will follow a
group of modern Russian soilgs.
These will include numbers with the
characteristic rhythm and harmony
of the Russians, such as “Song of
the Shepherd,” from the “Fairy
Opera,” by Lelil, “Maidens of San
domiro,” by Mossoursky, and “The
Dragon Flies,” by Rimsky Ivorsa
kow.
■First Part Finds
Three numbers will be used to con
clude the first part of the program.
They are Mana-Zucca’s “Big Brown
Bear,” Miller’s “Boats of Mine,”
a song of the ballad type, and a
negro minstrel song, “Swing Along
Chillun,” by Cook. Music for the
encores to the first part of the pro
gram have been arranged by George
Hopkins of the music faculty.
The feature of the second part of
the program is based on three pop
ular songs, “When You Look in the
Heart of a Bose,” “Garland of Old
Fashioned Boses,” and “In An Old
Fashioned Garden.” The garden
scene will feature a minuet by
eight members of the club in colon
ial costume.
The program will close rvith
stunts and numbers by the quartet,
and a Japanese scene with appro
priate costume and characteristic
dancing upon Gilbert Sullivan’s
trio and chorus, “Three Little Girls
From School,” from the “Mikado.”
The following day two 30-minute
prologue concerts will also be
given by the Women’s Glee club at
the Capitol theater in Salem, which
will consist of quartet numbers,
solos by Doris Helen Patterson, and
the Japanese scene. ,
The Men’s Glee club wi>l make
its first appearance at the Glotye
theater in Albany, Friday, March
16. The following day they will
give two performances at the Capi
tol theater in Salem. Sunday eve
ning the Men’s Glee club will sing
over the radio. So successful was
the glee club’s last year engage
ment at the Broadway in Portland
that a contract for a similar three
day run on this year’s tour was
made some time ago. In. April a
local run will be given at the Heilig.
In addition to the customary part (
songs the Men’s Glee club will give
special features. A quartet consist
ing of Bonald Kretzer, Don Os
trander, Harold Socolofsky and Ed
ward Fisher will give the main skit.
Cecil Matson, Jack Dennis, Orris
Page and Clement Shafer will give
a feature in old-fashion«d crinoline
costumes. A piano fight by George
Barron and Bay Burt will be an
other attraction. A group of seven
choruses working up to a unique
climax will form the finale of the
concert.
The University orchestra will ap
pear in three half hour concerts daily
| at the Antler theater in Boseburg,
I the Bivoli in Grants Pass, the Vin
I ing of Ashland and the Craterian
at Medford. The orchestra will be
| gin its tour on Monday, March 19,
; and will probably give the closing
' concert of the tour at the Pine Tree
theater in Klamath Falls on Friday
Lone Oregon Rooter
Doubles for Suit Case
And Sees Rook Game
“Gadzooks! The situation looks
serious for the cruise of the com
mon people!”
This exclamation was uttered by
ono Warren “Basko” Tinker as he
dismally counted the scats in the
bus that was to take 1” frosh hoop
ers, Coach Leslie, a manager, and
the driver to Corvallis to play the
rooks last Saturday. The bus had
15 seats-—figure that up.
But “Basko” did not give up the
ship. When he thought of the duck
ling quintet fighting in a foreign
clime without a rooter to sponsor
their cause his blood boiled with
righteous indignation.
Forsooth, it should not. be! On
top of the bus was a spread of
canvas, used, presumably, to protect
passengers’1 baggage. Spying this,
the resourceful . Webfoot rooter
scaled the side of the car, rolled
himself up in what he pictured the
general contours of a suit case, and
hopefully waited.
Forty-two miles later in Corvallis
a disheveled but cheerful stowaway
clambered down the side of the bus.
On the return trip room was made
inside for the persistent passenger.
“Yea, it -was a good game,” said
“Basko.”
K. K. K. Opens
Holiday. Eve At
Campa Shoppe
Unusual Ads Decoration
Scheme; 150 Couples
Capacity Limit
Members of Alpha Delta Sigma,
men’s professional advertising fra
ternity, are hard at work plaster
ing the walls of the, Campa Shoppe
with advertisements for the Krazy
Kopy Krawl tonight. Unusual and
freakish ads have been gathered
from every business concern in Eu
gene and will have their own little
spot to cover.
Bob Byington, general manager
of the dance, has endeavored to ob
tain advertisiiur from some national
concerns. Last year the Camel cig
arette company supplied the Krawl'
with enough cigarettes to have a
package on every table. Miracles
have been known to happen twice.
There. is a limit to everything,
and Milton George, president of the
club, saVs that there will be a limit
to the number of couples. The
Campa Shoppe has been known to
accommodate 234 couples at one
time, but Milt was emphatic when
hg said that the dance tonight
would be limited to 150 couples
and that there would be ample danc
ing space for the 10 dances sched
uled. '
A new addition to the feature
force has beef announced by Bob
bie Warner. Edlith Pearson and
Jack Reynolds have a dance for to
night. The" efforts of this graceful
couple were well received at the
College Night performances, and
they have featured at numerous
fraternity and sorority dances.
The Kollege Knight trio is sched
uled for some clever numbers. The
George Olson form of presentation
used in the East will be an innova
tion on this campus. If you haven’t
been entertained by George Olson
and his orchestra you can’t be ex
pected to know what this form of
presentation is. Let George Me
Murphey’s trio show you. Speak
ing of trios, there is another one
on the bill, the Kappa Sig three
some which is singing at the Mc
Donald theater this week.
Madge Normile, accompanied by
her haunting blues, will be there,
featuring the latest in melodies that
can only be described bv the one
word, “blues.” Edythe Dippel, fol
lower of - Pavlowa, is billed for a
toe dance.
A check-up on the tickets sold
and the reservations made at the
College Side Inn indicates the right
kind of a crowd. Bill Hammond,
manager of the ticket sale, says
that there are still a few tickets
left at the Co-op and that last min
ute couples may be able to get tick
ets at the door tonight. He urges
all ticket holders to make their
reservations at the earliest possible
moment.
Dean of Men To Meet
With Portland Alumni
Elmer L. Shirrell, dean of men,
will spend Wednesday and Thurs
day of this week in Portland, where
he will meet with alumni of the
University and discuss matters rela
tive to campus affairs and also have
a conference with trustees of* the
Crawford Loan Foundation regard
ing the University’s relationships
with that organization.

Tomorrow
(By United Press)
PULLMAN, Wash., Fob. 20.—
Rallying from a four point load hold
by the .Washington State five at the
end of the first half the University
of Oregon basketball team defeated
the'Cougars here tonight, 42 to 18.
Bon McCormick, Webfoot guard,
was high point man of tho tilt with
11. Ridings and Milligan, both of
Oregon, scored 8 points each.
By JOE PIGNEY
Gordon Ridings, forward and key
man of "the Webfoot basketball
team, is in lino for tho Northwest
mvtliical five which will be picked
after the final game of the season
with the Washington Huskies next
Saturday at Seattle.
Ridings, scoring 8 points against
the Cougars last night, is far ahead
of Monty Snider, Husky star. As
the Webfoots play two more games ■
as compared with one for the Hus
kies, Ridings’ chances to keep out
in front are good.
With the championship of tho
northern division of the Pacific,
coast, conference definitely clinched
by the University of Washington,
the Webfooters will continue their
road trip with hopes of finishing in
undisputed possession of second
place.
Play Gonzaga Tomorrow
The Webfoots play the second
non-conference game of the road
trip tomorrow night at Spokane
against the Gonzaga Bulldogs. On
Thursday the team will go to Mis
soula for tho battle with Montana
University. Reinhart will probably
use the reserve squad in the Gon
zaga game in order to save tho var
sity for the Grizzly game the fol
lowing night.
The Webfoots’ win over Idaho
was not entirely unexpected, but
the comparatively large score was
due to a sudden and wise change in
the lineup by Reinhart. The team
that defeated the Aggies a week
ago evidently did not have the abil
ity to turn back the Vandals, who
use an entirely different stylo of
attack and defense.
Scott Milligan, regular varsity
guard, was moved from guard to
forward to check Red Jacoby,
speedy Vandal guard. Dave Epps,
who was out of the Beaver game,
started against Idaho at guard.
Epps, a strong defensive player, is
aided by height and reach, which
was a decided advantage in the
small gymnasium at Moscow.
Oregon Develops
Gordon Ridings played his usual
brilliant floor game, and was the
leading scorer in the Webfoot of
fensive machine. Ray Edwards,
center, and Don McCormick, guard,
both broke into the regular lineup
in the O. S. C. game, and judging
from the brand of ball displayed
recently, have warranted perma
nent positions.
Oregon’s rather late season de
velopment is characteristic of a
young team reaching its peak. At
the first of the season the Webfoots
looked little better than a second
rate squad, and was scheduled to
finish about fourth in the title race.
Reinhart is bound to have an
other strong team for next year’s
race, and will undoubtedly finish
close to the top, and perhaps win
the conference title again. The
only man who will bo ineligible for
the varsity next season is Iclc Rey
nolds, and lek has not played reg
ularly this year.
Oregon’s big test will come next
Saturday when the team meets
Washington at Seattle. The Huskies,
although now the champions of tho
north, will face plenty of competi
tion in the Webfoot tilt. The
Washington squad defeated Oregon
in Eugene, but owing to the rapid
ity of Oregon’s development, the
Huskies are given only .a slight
edge.

In First Meet
Bobby Robinson Beats Own
Record in Pole Vault;
Hill Wins Mile
Promise of future greatness was
shown by several competitors in the
first outdoor track meet of the year
held on Hayward field last Satur
day afternoon. Prospects for a suc
cessful track team within the next
year or two are the best in many
seasons, according to Bill Hayward,
veteran track mentor.
Ed Moeller, while he failed to
reach the maximum he has in prac
tice, took the discus event with a
Uiroy of 151 feet, ten inches. This
mark was 14 feet better than the
mark of his nearest competitor and
is but six feet and some inches
short of the -world's record.
Robert Hill took the freshman %
mile run with ease, coming in fully
fortyjards ahead of the contestant
who took second. Ilis time of 3 min
utes, 18 seconds, beat, that of the
varsity by more than five seconds,
despite the fact that he did not ex
tend himself at the finish.
Wetzel Takes Two Firsts
Vic Wetzel, track captain for this
season, who is being groomed for
the Olympics, placed six out of sev
en events he entered, taking first, in
the broad jump and javelin and
second in the 75-yard dash.
Bobby Robinson, who did 12 feet
in the indoor polo vault competition,
succeeded in adding six inches to
this mark on the out door standards.

Major Schools
Are Excluded
From Decision
System Gives Student5?
Greater Advantage
In Studies
Professors To Advise In
Special Fields
The lower division of the Univer
sity of Oregon, comprising the rst
two years of study, will be com
pletely reorganized for all students
except those in professional schools,
it was voted yesterday by the fac
ulty at its regular meeting. The
legislation adopted was drawn up
by a committee known as the
Junior College committee, which
was appointed last spring. The fac-$
ulty and committee dropped the
term “junior college,” however,
since it was felt that it did not
apply to the present case.
The most radical departure from
the present university system will
be that students who enter the col
lege of liberal arts and sciences will
not choose major departments until
their junior year. At present stu
dents enter specific departments,
such as English, mathematics, or
geology. Under the new system
this choice will bo made at the
start of the third year, thus giving
the student two years in which to
come o a decision.
Specific Study Planned
To replaco the work now being
dene in the major department, and
also to provide the student with a
_ • £ i t i__ j
“foundational” and “survey”
doiirsos will bo given. These are
divided into four groups, and each
student must take year courses in
throe of these. Students in pro
fessional schools must choose courses
in two, the major school counting
for one.
Advantages pointed out for the
new system aro that the student
will first of all gain a wide back
ground and a firm foundation for
advanced and specific study, and
that ho will be better able to choose
a major department in which to
train for his life work after the
experiences gained during the first
two years.
Expert Advisors
Under the new regulations the
system of student advisers will be
changed, since the major professors,
except in professional schools, will
not hold jurisdiction over students.
This will be taken caro of by hav
ing the student state his preference
along certain lines of study, and
he will then be placed under an ex
pert in this field as an adviser.
The new legislation provides also
for closer co-operation with high
schools in relation to subjects for
I students. A new department ill
bo established in the registrar’s of
| (ice, the purpose of which will bo
I to take up problems of students
! both before and after registration
in the University.
Freshmen Aided
The revision is planned with a
view to facilitating the transition
from secondary school methods to
those of University study and in
struction. In keeping with this
view courses during tho freshman

Kappa Pledge Returns All Wet From
Mysterious Week-End Excursion
Scandal! The Kappa’s newest
pledge stays out all week-end, then
has the audacity to come back home
all ivet and minus her pledge rib
bon. But that’s not the worst of it.
The Kappas are glad to have her
eome back and instead of releasing
her from pledge, they welcome her
with “open arms, pieces of candy,
bits of cake and cookies, and even
caresses.
Her name is Topsy. No one knows
or cares whether her family is
wealthy or not. It’s Topsy’s per
sonality that wins. She is a dog,
just a funny little black dog, which
“just grew.”
Harry Camden first found Topsy,
but the Kappas wanted to pledge
her; so Katharine Talbot took her
from the sculpture department to the
sacred precinets of the Kappa house,
where she runs from room to room
obtaining delectible dainties by her
j winning ways.
I Topsy is sometimes locked in’ her'
room behind a sign which reads,
“Don’t let the dog outt If she
barks, go in and slam her on the
nose.” These pre-initiation hacks
are few, and the contour of her nose
remains the same.
Sometimes her love for the beau
tiful compels Topsy to wander over
to the art building, and her har
mony-seeking ear must needs be sat
isfied by hours spent in the music
building. It has not been learned,
however, why she spends part of
her time at the Phi Belt house.
The Kappas believe someone tried
to abduct Topsy, for she disap
peared Friday and did not somo
home until after classes Monday
morping. Her ribbon and Kappa
pledge emblem which had been tied
around her neck were gone, her hair
was wet and shining, and not a
word would she tell of her journeys.
But Topsy may eome and go as she
pleases, with no questions asked.
