Tomlinson will tell about, tbo ten countries of South America, their manners of living, social customs and international intricacies. Mr. Tomlinson became interested in South America when he was in Europe during the World war. ITe saw the devastation of .Europe and became convinced that the economic balance would be preponderantly in favor of the United States, and that the future of American trade and investment, was in Latin America, lie immediately became interested in the Latin republics and made a visit to the leading ones to study the conditions anil observe the various affairs. For the last five years Mr. Tomlinson has devoted his | time In gathering and disseminating information about South Amorim. The Pan-American oonforonoo at Havana was one ot' the most im portant things Mr. Tomlinson at tended.

Dr. Lesch, Hard-boiled” Sergeant, Trades Kiss For Croix de Guerre _ (It is only fair to Mr. Lcsch to state tiiat this news was gained by unfair moa-ns and that he had not the vaguest idea that any of it was to be printed.) ‘‘I was only kissed on one cheek, because the other one slipped on my nose,” Edward A. Lcsch, assistant professor of English didn’t even blush, but he looked uncomfortable. He was telling how he won the Croix. de Guerre. He was second lieutenant in an artillery division. The Americans and French were drawn up side by side in the trenches. Across from them were the Germans. “Everything was quiet until the Americans came,” Mr. Lesch ex plained. “There wasn’t any firing. ^ Every morning the Germans would comp out and -wash their clothes. They’d call to the French once in a while, and pas3 dirty jokes. “Then the Americans came and started to shoot at everything in sight. The Germans shot back. They never hit the Americans, but shot into the French camouflage and set it on fire. Well, the French dug into their holes and just let it : burn, but the Americans were fools enough to go over and put it out. “The officer in command asked who the first man over was. One of the fellows who didn’t like me pointed at me. He thought I’d get i extra work; instead I was decor ated.” Mr. Lesch looked pained. He | thought the reporter ■ would laugh. He didn’t realize that he was being 1 (Continued on Page Three) I Freshman Team Will Play Rooks At Igloo Friday — Yearlings Must Win Came To Take Beaver Series; Squad Poor in Praetiee The Webfoot yearlings make their first home appearance in conference basketball play Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock on tbe McArthur court floor when they meet the Aggie rooks in a third game. The rooks took the first game, 41 to "4, and' the frosh came back to win the second, 4.1 to 20. The rooks lost to the Hniversity of Washington frosh earlier in the sea son. Oregon will play two games with the Washington yearlings af ter they finish the four game series with the Aggies. The coast conference schools do not organize their schedules for the freshman teams as they do for the varsity, and no Pacific coast or northern division championships are official. Last year Washington was considered the winner, as they de feated Oregon, Oregon Aggies and Washington State. Early games in dicate that they will repeat this year, as each of the Oregon schools has .o' defeat. Washington State would have a chance but they do not play the Aggies or Oregon. If the frosh win the series with the Beavers and win at least one of the games with the Husky Pups, they will have finished the most successful season a yearling team has had in the last three years. To win the series with the Bea vers it is necessary that the Frosh take the game this Friday. Al though they outplayed their Aggie opponents both in the last half of the first game and in all the second game, they have made a very poor showing in their workouts this week. Earl (Spike1) Leslie, yearling mentor, is decidedly worried and may make some changes in the line up before they take the floor Fri day afternoon. Spike was unde cided last night after the practice as to whom would be on the first team, but the starting five will be picked from the same squad of twelve men that made the trips to Corvallis. Kenneth Edick, forward on the supers until this week, has been promoted to the first squad and may get his elianee against the rooks. He has been showing up well in the recent scrimmages, and will at least l»e among the reserves. Extension Bureau Now Using New Type Slide f*ietoral Kind Found More Efficient T li a »i Glass _ The visual education service of the extension department has re cently bought a new typo of slide to be used in its work. For many years the glass slides have been used. The new pictorial or film slides save money and contain more slides per package. The old style glass slides hold only 70 pictures and weigh 34 pounds with the postage cost of 39 cents for the first zone and $1.33 for the fourth. The pictorials come in small cans which may go "any where in the United States for two cents. Many schools, churches, and other community organizations make use of this service. Oregon Agricul tural college and Washington State college are the only others besides Oregon in the West who use the pictorial.

Lad Brings Two Cats To Be Sacrificed for Use of Lab Students A university may perform many unique services for the city in which it is situated. This was proved Tuesday afternoon, when a lad walked into Ready hall, carry ing under his arm a large cardboard box. He wandered aimlessly up and down the hall for a time, and then approached one of the students. “Can you tell mc what to do with these cats?” he queried. The stu dent directed him to one of the lab assistants for information, so the boy again asked his question. It finally developed that he had a superabundance of cats at his home, so he brought two to the university, to be sacrificed at the altar of higher learning. However, the lab had already se cured all the cats necessary, but the assistant volunteered to dis pose of them for the boy. The kittens were taken into an evil-smelling little room, where they were placed in a glass enclosed box. The gas was turned on, there was a high-pitehel feline snarl, and then the kittens lay motionless, dead. Test Photographs for Campus Movie Taken Wednesday afternoon saw the first- actual work on ihe campus movie, when a group of test photo graphs were taken for the purpose of determining the type of makeup which could be used to best advan tage in the filming. The work was done at the Igloo by the makeup committee, under the direction of Renee Nelson, chairman of the group. Tomorrow afternoon a ser ies of tests for the same purpose will be made, using motion picture film. Work will begin on the film tests, to ascertain the campus dramatists most capable of portraying hero and heroine, and villian and villainess, on February Id. The makeup com mittee will meet in room 105 of the Journalism building today at to discuss plans for the work. Aeronautics Courses Appro ved by Faculty New Code of Entrance Put On IF Books Requirements for High School Students Are Changed by Faeulty Rulings Will Take Effort Here Next Fall Term A now emit' flf entranc'd require ments, designed with tlie pwpose of emphasizing quality rather than variety in high school work, was adopted by the University of Ore gon faeulty at a meeting yesterday. These requirements conform exactly to those recommended by the higher education standards committee, and grew out of conferences at which representatives of all Oregon col leges as well as from many high schools were present. The requirements were recom mended by the higher education standards committee at a recent meeting in Salem, the idea being that they should represent minimum requirements for entrance into high er institutions of learning in Ore gon. As approved at Salem, any college may add to them, but at yesterday’s faculty session it was decided to adopt the basic, code as the requirements for entrance to tlie University of Oregon. Take Effect in Pali Effective at .Hie beginning of Hie fall term in 1 Dili I, Hie action of the faculty yesterday also repeals all standing entrance requirements. It, is the understanding that the adop tion of the regulations does not preclude Hie possibility of addition of special requirements in the future. As they stand, the new require ments make it possible for n high school graduate to enter the Uni versity of Oregon without fulfilling Hie present requirements of one year of laboratory science, one year of algebra, and one year of geom etry. The question of eliminating algebra and geometry from, the re quirement list aroused considerable dismission at the faculty meeting. It was brought out, however, that under the required list; of major and minor subjects the student would probably find it advisable to take mathematies in high school anyhow, that unified mathematies courses |ire being taught in the rapidly in creasing junior high schools. The new requirements include three plans. Each requires the presentation of Id units from a l’oor-year high school or 12 units from a senior high school. This latter clause is a recognition Of Hie junior high school system. Units to Be Grouped Part of the units are to bo group ed into major;; and minors. Distri bution from a four year high school must include two majors and three minors, of which two majors and one minor, or vice versa, must lie selected from Hie fields of English, language, mathematics, laboratory science and social science. One of tlie majors must be in English. Dis tribution from a senior (three year) high school must include two majors and two minors, of which two majors and one minor, or vice versa, must be selected from the same fields. One minor or major must be in English. No credit will be given for penmanship, spelling, physical education, or any subject classified as a student activity. A second plan conforms almost exactly to the present entrance re quirements of Hie university, while a third is provided so that students 9dt0 are particularly well qmt+ffied for college work, but have by chance failed to conform to the first two plans, may still enter un der special circumstances. Physical Education Group to Entertain Phi Epsilon Kappa, men’s hon orary physical education fraternity, is sponsoring a social gathering for men tonight at 7:10 in the men’s gymnasium. Harry Scott, director of men’s physical education, will talk on “The Vocation of Physi cal Education.” Loye McGee, pres ident of the organization, who is in charge of the program, extends a cordial invitation to all men in terested to attend. Insanity ns Defense For Murder Debated With Roger Pfoff, freshman in prelaw, leading the attack of tho affimini Ivo, and Clarence Bar ton, sophomore in pre-law stag ing tho defense on tlio negative, the Congress, public, speaking dub, debated and discussed the question, “Resolved, that insan ity should not be allowed as a defense for murder,” at a meet ing last night at tho College Side Inn. Insanity as a. defense plea is tho only way by which a derang ed person can escape capital pun ishment, the negative argued. A murderer is either unusually brave or lie’s crazy, the speaker contended. With vivid expounding of ac tual murder cases tho affirma tive showed the inability of a court to decide the mental con dition of an accused person. “The court is not .justice. It is a battle-ground of lawyers. Tt, is the toy of the rich man, and has been ever since the trial of Harry K. Thaw,” one speaker stated in the discussion. Gene Laird, junior in journalism, act ed as discussion critic. Companionate marriage was chosen as tho topic for ;n^xt week’s discussion. The subject will lie introduced by A. Harvey Wright, junior in prelaw, in a five minute talk. Old Oregon Plans Stories of Grads And Descendants Interviews Wanted Willi Second Generation at ‘Shack’ This Afternoon To study tiro snmo courses which their fathers atul mothers studied, sometimes under the sumo profes sors, is the interesting experience of a number of students at the University of Oregon, whose fathers and mothers attended school here. Many of them relate tales whieh recall happy college days to Iho alumnae when they receive I lie Feb ruary issue of Old Oregon, which is to contain a story about all tho members of tho “second generation” on the campus, and their parents. An attempt has been mado to conduct, a personal interview with all these students, and although they have cooperated well, thero are several who have not yet been readied. Because it is especially desired that this story be complete, those who have not yet been inter viewed are asked to come to room 204 of the Journalism building at any time from 1 to 5 o’clock this afternoon. This will be ttie last op portunity to make additions to thn list. Any one who cannot meet at the specified hours may leave his name and address at the Old Oregon office, and other arrangements will tie made. Some families are represented by two members, and several houses have a large representation, while others evidently have no students whose parents went to school here. A picture of the sons gnd daugh ters of former Oregon, students, which will accompany the article, is to be taken this morning at 11 o’clock on tho south steps of the Administration building, and all who are eligible are asked to be j there promptly at that hour. University to Add Airplane TrainingWork Local Airway Company To Cooperate With Oregon on Projects Preparatory Study Before Flying to Be Featured A list of Conrans and tentative curricula to bn made available for students interested in aeronautics was approved by the University of Oregon faculty yesterday and is re garded ns an experimental step into a field which henceforth will lie of growing importance in (In field of higher education. At the same time, announcement was made of a committee, consisting of load ers in aviation in the Northwest and others, to serve in an advisory ca pacity in connection with tlie work. Only one yew course, that being in commercial aviation, is necessary in connection with the work ap proved yesterday, all-others being already tnugbt at the university. By correlating the courses already taught, it was found possible to give work in the subjects advisable for study by prospective aviators and others interested in the aviation in dustry. The new course will be subject to approval by the board of higher curricula. Dr. A. B. Hal), president, emphasized that this work is entirely experimental. Smith Announces Plan Under the plan, ns announced ny Dr. Wnri’on I). Smith, head of the committee, three types of courses are proposed. The first is a short course, to be conducted in connec tion with a short course in actual flying to be given by the Hobi Airivays, Trie., who have leased the Eugene municipal airport. The second is a two-year course which would on completion earn a junior Certificate. The third is a four year course, with the bachelor of science degree, leading tip to spe cial scientific, training in graduate years. v Prof. C. Harvey Hicks, member of the mathematics staff and an authority on aeronautics, was rec ommended as technical adviser for those who continue the study for four years. Professor Hicks con ducted important research work in aeronautics at the California Insti tute of Technology. The courses, as approved by the faculty yesterday, will be given under the direction of I he school of business administration. They in clude such work as unified mathe matics, physics, practical astron omy, meteorology, thermodynamics, manufacturing, personnel manage ment, traffic management, and so on. Advisory Committee Named The advisory committee consists of Earl Simmons, Eugene, regarded as one of the persons most respon sible for the advancement of avia tion in Oregon; Leonard Delano, president of the university Aero club; M. E. Wright, editor and publisher of Pacific Airport News, Portland; George Love, head of the Aircraft Builders, Inc.; Herman Hobi, head of the Hobi Airways company; Major G. L. Eekerson, Hobi company; William G. Hoeing, (Continued on Page Three) Varied Species of Birds Inhabit Local Campus During Winter Months Students arc not tho only animals which inhabit tho University of Oregon campus. Squirrels, birds, gophers and professors are also pres ent in considerable number, partic ularly birds and professors. Not to wander any farther from the story, R. R. Iluestis, associate professor of animal biology, was ap proached yesterday, and asked to tell all he knew about the members, of the feathered species which in habit the campus during the winter. This inquiry was provoked by tho observation of a number of blue birds around the old library build ing during the recent snowy weather. Most of the people who noticed the little blue and brown birds flitting around in the snow concluded that they had come north from the sunny south too soon and were en tirely out of place in such wintry weather. But Professor Iluestis knew bet tor. “Those bluebirds are known us Western bluebirds,” he said in his best, professional manner, “and contrary to popular opinion they stick around here all winter lout;. They are usually seen in twos or threes, but when the snow comes they hand together in larger groups. “The fact is that there are far more kinds of birds around the campus during the winter than most people ever notice. One reason for this, I suppose, is that the birds sing very little in cold weather, and one’s attention is not attracted to them. “Probably everyone notices the robins and the varied thrushes, or Alaskan robins, ns they are called, during the winter. But few see the purple finches, the golden crowned sparrows, the song sparrows, the stellar jays, the occasional blue jay, (Continued on Page Two)
