The Orogou-Washington game,
■1lic first conference tilt of flip sea
son for liotli teams, is the most im
portant one of this week and per
haps the most important of fho en
tire season. father the Webfnots
or flip Huskies will win the title
of the north this year, and tin- game
at Seal Me (Saturday practical I v
eliminates .. team of the other
from the conference race.
d’lie hist on of Oregon and Wash
ington basketball games, ‘part ienlar
ly in recent years, is nothing short
ol spectacular. In 1P27 Oregon won
the title, but. si ill lost, one game
to Washington. Last year the Hus
kies min, but not without being de
feated by the Oregonians. The sit
uation existing in the conference
race ill the last two years was near
ly the same.
T\yo years ago the Webfoots .al
ready had the title won before they
lost to Washington. It was the
linal tilt of the year and the Ore
gon team was worn by a long, stren
uous pre-season and conference
schedule. The night before the Ore
gon game, Washington had been
beaten by the Heavers at Corvallis
which automatically gave Oregon
the championship. The Huskies,
however, on the next night caught
the champions flat footed and won
easily.
I
I.ad year Oregon lost to Washing
ton at Kugenc. By the time the
two tennis were ready lo meet again,
Miir time at Seattle, the Webfnots
bad gained experience. Oregon
played the Huskies in the final
gaiae of the road trip, and handed
Hie champions a II to .'!!) defeat.

i
Tliis Oregon-Washington feud has
been carried over to 1 tilth, and once
more the title is doped to go to
either one of these two schools. The
season is merely starting and four
other members of the conference,
Washington State, Oregon State,
^Montana, and Idaho, are all power
fid enough to give Oregon or Wash
ington a dose race.
It is difficult to judge the com
parative strength of Oregon and
Washington from their pro-season
games. The record of Washing
ton's playing so far, however, is
tar more impressive than that of
the Webfoots. Washington has not
been defeated, but Oregon lost • to j
(ioiuagrt, a supposedly weak team.
All season Oregon has played j
ragged ball while the Huskies hnv'ej

Collegiate Morals Less Lax Than

“College students ns a group have

In llitif of n group of flic same size

Higgs, assistant

about tho moral
standards of uni

as a recent gradu

Hugh Biggs
versify, is well
acqnai nto«l w i. t li
the state of affairs in the univer
sity from flic viewpoint of a student
as well as from flint of an ndmin
isl rater.
Speakers and writers never lose
occasion to censure the university
for drinking among the students,
when in. reality there is not a great
deal of it. Many of the rumors are
unfounded. Wide publicity is given
the slightest infraction of the rules
which would be ignored in any other
[dace.
University students are less con
servative now than they were form

! as a loxvei ing of morals, hut as a
disregard for what they eonsider
useless a ml old-tasliioned conven
tions.
There are, of course, occasional
breaches of the rule against drink
ing at the University of Oregon, but
they are not as numerous as else
where. A group of young people of
college age gathered together in a
community of the size of the uni
versity would be responsible for a
great many more offences.
The people of the state expect a
great deal more from their soils and
daughters at the colleges and uni
versities than from those who drop
out of school earlier. They expect
that colleg' will strengthen char
acter al the same time that it edu
cates. The university authorities
invite them to expect it, for (hew
nro confident that such indirect
benefits may be derived from col
lege attendance.
Tn conclusion, TTngh Biggs staled
that the moral situation at the Uni

that.of any other community of the

Tragedy of Great War Brought Near
As Gay MacLaren Plays rThe Enemy9
By WILFRED BROWN
It ivns in Vienna in Juno, 1914.
Tlie phone rang, ami Carl Belircndt,
a youthful and idealistic playwright
answered it.
His face assumed a sober expres
sion, ami the hand that held the
receiver trembled. “My God,” he
sail huskily.
Those in the room gathered about
him—August Belircndt, his father, a
gruff old grain merchant of the
Austrian capital; Pauli Arndt, his
friend, and Dr. Arndt, her father,
a professor in the University of
Vienna; Mitzi, the enthusiastic wife
of a young journalist, and Bruce
Gordon, an English student.
‘■Carl, what has happened?” de
manded Pauli, and the youth res
ponded solemnly, “The Arch-duko
Frederick has been killed in Si
beria,” and then, turning to the
girl, ‘‘But wh.-it pan all that mean
to us?”
But then the spell was broken.
Tt was not Vienna, but the Woman’s
building on the University of Oregon
campus. There was no Carl, no
Pauli, no August, nor anybody else j
—except the black-haired Gay Me-1
Laren, who had just completed tlie j
first net of ‘‘The Eenemy,” by
Channing Pollock.
But it meant more to them than

I ‘Campus Movie’
| Story Is Selected
By Scenario Staff
Collegiate Type Story, Not
Rah - rali; Cameraman
Appointed by Direelors
A stbry for tin- “campus movie”
was srlocted Tuesday night at a
meeting of the scenario staff, and
it is to he turned into scenario form
by the end of the week. Construc
tion of the plot and continuity was
done under the supervision of Leslie
L. Lewis, instructor in English:
Screen tests, to he given inside of
three weeks, will he used as the
basis for selection of characters,
which .are of straight campus types.
Two couples play the leading parts,
the major couple of fairly serious,
and the other of more comic char
acter; however, there will he numer
ous minoi* roles, the whole cast num
bering approximately 25.
The story is, of course, of collegi
ate type, wifh a light romantic
thread running through a back
ground of the comic and serious
sides of university life. The over
worked rah-rah college story has
been rigorously avoided, the idea of
■.the directors and staff being to turn
out a picture which is debunked, so
that it rings true, although the pro
duction will not suffer from this
process in interest-making qualities.
Announcement of Wilson Jewett
as head cameraman was made yes
terday, and members of his staff
will be named later, Jewett has had
quite extensive experience in ama
teur movie making, and is consid
ered a valuable addition to the
movie workers.
Tuesday’s Emerald gave a list of
appointments which made up the
/‘general staff.” This was a mis
statement. This group is the gen
eral staff of the makeup committee,
under Renee Nelson.

scientist, lias been
Er. Hall « watching flu' Kel
logg tiTiity situa
tion with groat, interest and he ex
pressed warm enthusiasm for the
action taken liv the senate in voting
for the pact by the overwhelming
majority of 8.1 to 1.
“The greatest value in the treaty
is not essentially the fact that so
many nations have pledged them
selves to renounce war, for treaties
have been made and broken before.
The value lies in the fact that this
treaty represents a definite, univer
sal sentiment against taking up
arms, and shows plainly that the
people of all nations have at last
come to a realization of the futility
of battles as a means of solving
their disputes,” said Or. Hall.
Strivers Gain Victory
“Those who are striving for in
ternational peace have won a great
victory, but the fight is not yet
over. We must constantly point out
to the younger generations the folly
of war, and urge upon them a will
to pence. We must not neglect the
educational process against this de
stroyer of civilization. We must
mobilize the passion for peace .just
as the passion for war is mobilized,
and some day, when all people come
to a full realization of the benefits
of universal tolerance and goodwill,
war will not only become outlawed,
but a world police force will be set
up to see that it cannot be possible
in the scheme of things.
“The power creating sciences have
reached a point in the development
of destructive power that calls for
perfection of the po.wer-controlling
sciences ecpial to the task of making
these forces the servants, rather
than the masters of mankind.
Sees End of Peace Dream
"If (lie world can master the tech
nique of social engineering in such
a way that the great basic hopes a,nd
aspirations of humanity may be
made to prevail against the passing
passions of the moment, there is rea
son to believe that the eternal hope
of man to secure peace and security
may become an actual achievement,
rather than an iridescent dream.”
The second article of the treaty
is of great significance, pointed out
Dr. Hall. This says “The high con
tracting parties agree that the set
tlement or solution of all disputes
and conflicts of whatever nature or .
of whatever origin they may he,
which may arise among them, shall
never lie sought except by pacific
means.” If this is lived up to it

To Be Displayed
Friday Evening
Men Invite;! To Witness
Return Engagement of
Annual Fashion Show
A stylo show of tlio very latest
and snappiest in women’s clothes
will bo given Friday 11 i111. at 7:110
.o’clock at tlio Woman’s building by
the Women’s league, and is to bo
open to all students and townspeo
ple. Men are especially Invited.
This show, although greatly en
larged and rearranged, will follow
somewhat the one that was so suc
cessful as an entertainment, for high
school delegates. New and charm
ing models, beautiful scenery, gor
geous gowns, and music will make
the evening very entertaining, and
instructive— to girls.
Elsie Goddard, who as chairman
made the former showing such a
hit, is in charge of Friday’s enter
tainment and promises something
quite original to the Oregon campus.
The motif for the affair will be
strictly futuristic, and colored lights
will play on the setting and parad
ing models. Carl Iloilborn, who ar
ranged the stage for the Guild hall
play, “Midsummer Night’s Dream,”
is in charge of the stage, and the
campus is expecting a treat, in stage
settings. He will be assisted by
Floyd llunk.
Martha Stevens has charge of the
making of posters that will appear
oil the campus soon, advertising this
gala event. Further publicity is
under the direction of Hetty Beam,
who has working under,her a group
of junior women who will make
speeches at the different, houses.
In order to cover the expenses of
the show, it will be necessary to
charge a small admission charge of
‘Jb cents. “But it would be worth
$2,511 if given on Broadway,” said
Edith Dodge, president of the Wom
en’s league.
Not to be forgotten is the S. A. E.
quartet, which made such a hit at
’’College Night” during the high
school conference. They will sing
several numbers and are sure to be
entertaining.

“Yes! You build :i 11 of your

do come before the public, when you
do get interviewed, what do these
newspaper reporters usually ask you?
Oh, something like: ‘What do you

this remark, Gay McLaren, dramatic
artist who appeared here last night,

It was yesterday noon. Miss Mc

This dramatic star extraordinary

“These fraternities and soror

Heavens! It is all terribly secret
