He was characterized by Bill Beinhart, Webfoot coach as “the best man in the conference last season.” He played guard all three years. Hobson was a forward, play ing his last year in 1926. He, too, was one of the outstanding players of the circuit, and when graduated was thoroughly grounded in the principles of play. It has been known for several t months that Westergren was con sidered for that position in addi non to unmoor of others of less er i in p orta nee. However, infor mation that the field had narrow ed down to a trio was received hero only this week.

Ti Italian Magazine Sent to Art Library By Avard Fairbanks An Italian magazine depicting the art of medieval Italy has just been received at the library of the school of architecture and allied arts from Avard Fairbanks, former head of the sculpture department of that school. Mr. Fairbanks, who is in Florence, Italy, at the present time on a Gug genheim Foundation fellowship, sent the magazine to the school through Fllis F. Lawrence, dean. Beautifully illustrated with plates of such art subjects as painting, sculpture, architecture, and the crafts, and printed entirely in Ital ian, the magazine will be of great in terest to the students, Dean Law rence believes. Mr. Fairbanks now has a commis sion under way for a new foundation in Vancouver, Washington, and ho will also do the war memorial to be erected at Camp Lewis, Vancou ver, Washington, Dean Lawrence stated. The sculptor was at the Uni versity of Oregon for seven years before he went to Florence to study last summer. Classified Ads LOST—Large black Seheaffer pen. Finder please call 928.

Olive Borden Neil Hamilton Marie Dressier in JOY am, Story by May Edginton Comedy Aesop Fables 'How Dry I Am!9 Chatters Pretzel, Campus Squirrel9 As It Rains I Collegians may worry and scold ! and fret in scowling looks at the |spasmodic wet when it’s spring. They j needs must hats and slickers don i and in some eases put galoshes on, I or get a soaking. I .and a lot more might bo said o’ that. Burst of sunshine and all the University turns out of doors. The weather comes mildly to this campus and'a warm night on the millrace is bettered a thousand times by the tonic of a lingering April shower. But rain has inconvenience to those impatient souls who look with yearn I ing to the tenuis courts, baseball ! diamond or cinder track, canoe trail j or open road. “Aw, the devil!” the most impatient explodes. Which is probably natural. But he goes back to his book’s again. Which is a good thin g. The magnolias by the Deady-Li brary walk have announced spring and heaven on the campus,’ and do ing their bit, have shed their blos soms to have them raked up by the gardeners. The lilacs on the same walk, the laurestimus by the library, the maples and cott-onwoods here and there, the cherry trees around President Hall's . residence and in other spots thrive with fragrance and beauty. Winter is gone; there is no doubt about that! But rain, and the umbrellas open and slickers rustic and galoshes slosh. But there is one on the campus who is not troubled with studies when the sun comes out, nor with slickers and galoshes and hats when the dampness settles again. That one is “Pretzel,” the red tree squir rel, who lives with Mrs. Pretzel in the hollow fork of a tree by the walk from Villard to Sociology. A little shower doesn’t dampen his spirits a bit, nor docs it those of his I relatives who are scattered over the city. But a heavy shower and he scampers with a laHghing chatter to his refuge. There, if it is possible to imagine what it might look like, he spits out his cheek full of buds, calls for Mrs. Pretzel to bring him his slippors, the latest edition of the Emerald, and his trusty pipe and forgets the passing of the hours. Sam Miccelson, the head gardner, tells many a story about Mr. and Mrs. Pretzel and their relatives in other portions of the campus and of the other little animals and the birds and insects. At night an owl hoo hoos in a tree in front of McClure hall. In the daytime the thrushes, the robifts and the ipany smaller feathered residents and visitors chirp and sing. Then there are tho little woods bees. Look eloso along the east side of the Deady-Library walk and you will see the little mounds of freshly chewed dirt which each en terprising woods bee has thrown up around his hole under the grass. Dig up tho area around one of these mounds and you will dig up a bee, which, in warm weather, is ready for stinging purposes. But the squirrels are most amus ing to study. They live mostly on the walnuts garnered from the trees back of the Administration build ing, Mr. Miccelson says. One day, two of them, thinking to change their diet for tho good of science or just for the variety of menu, ate some buds from the top of the big cottonwood tree in front of Deady. These buds are not good eating for squirrels, and the gardener found them later, dead at the base of the tree. They were either poisoned out right or intoxicated to dizziness ahd killed by the fall. High School Contest Drama Will he ‘Shall We Join, the Ladies?’ Too many irons in the fire! Since yesterday’s Emerald—when it was Ladies?” would be given on May 4 for the drama tournament guests— decisions around the drama depart ment have been made, unmade and remade. *The last and final verdict i.-> that it will be produced. The call has been sent out for all cast mem bers to appear at 3 o’clock this aft ernoon. Duo to the short time left for re hearsals on the one-act play by Bar rie, Miss Wilbur thought it might be best to give ‘‘La'dy Windermere’s Ban” instead of the shorter drama. This plan was frustrated when it was found that the train taking the junior vodvil chorus to Portland leaves at conflicting time. Several of the east members for “Lady Win dermere’s Fan” are in the vodvil, so that it will be impossible to produce the longer play. Work, beginning this afternoon, will have to be intensive. Miss Wil bur urges all members of the cast to appear for rehearsal today. The play will include roles taken by Jaek Waldron, Milton George, Edna As May, Lawrence Shaw, Grace Gard ner, Glenn Potts, Luelia Andre, Cecil Matson, Eunice Payne, Alice Gorman, Thelma Parks, and Joy In Dr. Royal J.

All the high schools in the state have been invited to enter their track teams, and a large num ber have already signified their in tention of entering the competition. The meet will be held Saturday, April 28. Adams has received a large num ber of requests from the various fraternities in regard to giving them certain teams or men as guests dur ing the carnival, but tho conflicting nature of most of these requests and the impossibility of pleasing every one has led to the adoption of a system of lottery for the disposition of the teams, as well as the selec tion of the temporary student mana gers for each squad. Each frater nity will draw one entire team for housing during 'the meet, and each team will draw its manager from a list of candidates for the position*. The earnest co-operation of tho student body is needed in order to make this Belay Carnival a real suc cess. In one sense, Oregon is again competing with her ancient rival at Corvallis, for the Aggies are also staging a state high school track meet later in the spring, and the comparative impressions that the preppers receive of the two institu tions is likely to be a largo factor ir determining which school they will attend in the future. “It ir Oregon hospitality ■frs. O. A.

It echoes and reverberates with a chillness which strikes fear to the bravest hearts. One sees graves, and death and cold palo spectres of a dimly lighted past. The library vault has its ghosts. It is Pandora’s boJt, that harbors all that’s bad. Wicked words writ ten by wicked writers whispers from ' hot ’ books, that is what the vault holds, according to most university students. So it was with trepidation and a certain anticipation of pleasure that I let myself be guided by the will ing library assistant to tho vault. As soon as I b^&the accustomed to the dark, my eyes beheld a num ber of musty volumos. I shudderod —afraid to gaze on the forbidden titles. Forcing my eyes to focus on a dark book in front of mo I slowly read, “Pike’s Arithmetic,” I the librarian took down the book, and showed me a chapter on ‘ ‘ vulgar I tractions,” I tried to look sophisti | cated but I doubt that success was attained. Next sho showed fhat terrible piece of literature which we are all forced to read in English Survey, Malory’s “Morte D’Arthur. ” I wondered if I should turn and flee various phases of the situation as announced by Bill are,: General sec retary, Dena Aim; housing commit tee, Paul Hunt, chairman, Russ Baker, and Jim Bezendorf; enter tainment committee, John Ander son, chairman, Jack Dowsott, and Carl Nelson; accommodations, Franz Wagner, chairman, Kenneth Potts, Ralph Geyer, and Orville Bred thaucr; publicity committee, Chan Brown, chairman, Ralph Martig, and Walter Norblad. from those emblems of sin, but curi osity won and I stayed. Next a bunch of Dialogues for School Children by Samuel B. Morse, was forthcoming. This little book was yellowed with ago having been published in 1797, so it must have been written with an idea of pleas ing the ‘ wild younger set ’ of that day. Some more books (she seemed to be picking them worse and worse all the time) were, Mark Twain's “A Yankee in King Arthur'sCourt.,” “The Prinee and the Pauper,” and '‘The Guilded Age.” My heart, sank within me, how ever, when she handed mo that em blem of sordid reading, “The Paerlo Queene” by Spenser and right after wards Milton’s “Paradise Lost.” The titles of the next threo books were bad enough, Perkins’ “Geome try,” Briggs’ “Triganometra Brit anlca” and Cockers’ “Arithmetic.* Well, the vault had lived up to its name. I felt a waning desire to read these books, and when she handed me a last obscene work, all the moral training I had had at borne arose within me and T pushed aside the ponderous, gold-lettered volume, entitled “University of Ore gon Extension Division Correspon dence to Study Courses.” My taste for the risquo in literature is satiatedh NITE CLUB Friday Singing and Dancing Features Campa Shoppe Varsity Barber Shop We’re Proud of Our Hair Cutting Ability Near Colonial Theatre amsas LAST DAY LEATR1CE From AVERY HOPWOOD’S clever comedy drama of matri monial mixtips.

It is always striving to master new problems; and when new problems are solved, it advances to others. It is never satisfied. / For that reason we are constantly moving forward into new fields of discovery—insatiable, always demanding something newer, something better, something different. Nothing demonstrates this more remarkably than the advertisements you read. They cover the entire range of human requirements—from the absolute necessities of life to the most refined luxuries. Yet they are con stantly changing. This continual change means fresh material, fresh ideas, a stimulus to new endeavor.
