VOLUME XXX - C-i_ NUMBER 94 :*.T3 T T Spring Sport Chances Good For Webfoots Veteran. Baseball Team Must Defend Title In Northwest Montana Drops From Conference Northern School Travel Expense too Great By JOE BIONEY Baseball and track, tho leading intercollegiate sport activities for spring, are prospectively bright at Oregpn this year. The Webfoot baseball team, with a veteran line up, will dofend its northwest con ference title won from Washington l State last season. Track, although no$ of championship calibre, will be better this year than it has been for some time past, according to Bill Hayward, track coach. A decided ehango in the baseball schedule was made at the annual meeting of the i conference coaches and graduate managers last fall. In stead of the split conference which grouped Oregon, Oregon State and Washington in one section, and Washington State, Idaho and Mon tana in the other has been replaced by a single league. Montana Dropped Montana, because of the long ex pensive trip into the north, has been dropped from the baseball schedule by all the northwest conference teams. This leaves the northern schools with a compactly formed Conference of five teams. The advantages of the re-forma tion of the league are numerous, and it is expected that .collegiate base ball in tho north will be materially benefited. Although Montana has been let out, the consolidation of the two divisions makes it possible for each team to play more confer 1 ence dimes.

Apple Tree ‘Blooming’ tt+ tH Spring Term Arrives If tlio cold winds and the slash ing rain which have greeted the opening of the "spring term have made any of the students doubt the validity of the name “spring term,” let them look into the yard back of Friendly hall, where stands the campus’ only apple tree. For this tree took advantage of the • students’ absence during the holidays to don an advance model of what the Orego|> apple trees will he wearing this spring. Tts mantle of delicate pink blossoms is quite mature in spite of the cold wind and the unfriendly rain. The walls of Friendly hall shelter it somewhat from the weather, but occasionally a gust of wind will swoop around the corner of the building and scatter a few of the pink blossoms on the walk outside the Emerald business office. There the rain and the feft of busy people soon make pulp of them, but the tree only smiles the good news that spring is almost here. New Y. W.

Paljett time. Registrar Approves “It was quite satisfactory,” said Earl M. Pallets registrar, yester day in regard to the changed sys tem. “There were a, few places for improvement but the time for regis tering was much less than that, for preceding terms. Fully three-fourths of the 2494 students who received their registration material Monday, had it by 10 o’clock in the morning. Two thousand three hundred and twenty-four students completed reg istration and paid their fees.” At no titlfe was there a rush at, Mc Arthur court; had students gone through in the afternoon at the same rate they went in the morning, about ,'idOO could have been regis tered in one day. Research Made Study was made of each sectioned course so that students would not have to wait in line for course sig natures. Several weeks was spent by Richard L. Collins, statistician, on this study. Class record cards were typed for courses of only one section. Instructors of one-sectioned courses made their class enrollment from these cards.

(How Student is counseled by the Sage Ambition and setteth out on a pilgrimage to the Golden City of Education. How,' after wandering aimlessly through the Labyrinth of Reg istration, he at length emergeth therefrom and passeth through the wicket gate into the Happy Land of Collegia): , As I wandered through the by ways of this world, I eame unto a brook that flowed through a green meadow, and there I lay me down to sleep, and as I slept I dreamed. And in my dream I saw a youth, t fair of face and carefree of manner, | arrive at the summit of a pleasant hill called Aeeademe, joyfully tread ing a broad and winding pathway which was called Pleasure. And as he arrived at the summit, there stepped forth, from behind a great stone a grave and bespectacled sage named Ambition, hoary of locks and solemn of visage, ami ad dressed himself to Student, for such was the name of the youth I saw in mv dream. AMBITION: Whence farest thou, sweet youth t STUDENT: Who knows, sire. Over the hills and far away, unto the end of this pleasant path, wher ever unto it shall lead me. AMBITION: O woe unto him who followeth this Pathway of Pleasure. Knowest thou not that it descendeth sharply from tli* Hill 01 Accadexne along the . sluggish River of Forgetfulness, 'and endeth in the dank Valley of Mediocrity, which is less than a day’s Journey from the City of Illiteracy, where dwell the Mor ons, and the Submerged Tenth. STUDENT: But sire, the way is so pleasant and the walking is so easy after the climb to the top of the hill. AMBITION: Be not deceived. The Pathway of Pleasure leadeth surely to destruction. STUDENT: But whence, noble sire, should I turn to avoid the sluggish Kiver of Forgetfulness, the dank Valley of Mediocrity, and the Pity of Illiteracy, where dwell the Morons and the Submerged Tenth? And in my dream I saw the Sage lift bis bony hand and point to a narrow and treacherous pathway which led crookedly up the mountain aide to a faraway pass. AMBITION: .See yon pathway and yon faraway mountain pass? Beyond liotli the Happy Land of Collegia, in which is situated the Golden City of Education. Go thence, and thou shalt find peace and happiness and success and shalt avoid the sluggish River of Forgetfulness, the dank Valley of Mediocrity, and the City of Illit eracy, whose inhabitants are the Morons and the Submerged Tenth. STUDENT: The way looketh long and hard, sire. AMBITION: The way is long and hard, sweet youth, but the reward In the end is worthwhile. STUDENT: Need I make any preparation? AMBITION: Assuredly.
