NUMBER 52
Scholarship
Awards Now
Open To All
Vice-president Barker To
Donate Cup for Entire
Campus
HALLS EQUAL HOUSES
Year Basis Revised for Its
Presentation; Junior
Week-end is Date
Award of scholarship cups for
every men’s and women’s living
organization on the campus has
been made possible by a donation
given by Burt Brown Barker, vice
president of the University, it was
announced yesterday by Hugh
Biggs, assistant dean of men.
The cups, which will he known
as the Vice-Presidential Scholar
ship awards, were given by Vice
president Barker in response to a
demand for more adequate repre
sentation of student leadership,
and especially to permit dormi
tories and other living organiza
tions to compete for prizes. The
Pan-hellenic and Interfraternity
council awards were limited to
Creek-letter organizations.
Includes Spring Term
Instead of presenting the Vice
presidential cups at the beginning
of each year for the highest grade
average for the preceding year,
Dean Biggs said, they will include
the spring term of the preceding
year and the fall and winter terms
of the year of the award. Junior
Week-End has been set as the
date for presentation in order that
the reward shall come appropriate
ly after the year of endeavor.
It is expected that Vice-presi
dent Barker’s donation will he
ranked high among the many spe
cial recognitions given during the
Week-end.
Alumni of Sigma Nu and alum
nae of Chi Omega have presented
a plaque and a cup each year for
a long period of the University’s
life, but the awards were limited
in the number of those eligible.
Although occasionally ineligible
organizations led the grade lists
their number was so small that
the restriction was not felt until
the building of the new dormitory
and the formation of several clubs
and other living organizations.
Emerald Cites Need
Previous to the time of the
award given by Vice-president
Barker there were twelve living
groups which had no goal before
them. Grade averages proved
that some of them might eventu
ally lead the University, and at
this juncture the Oregon Daily
Emerald pointed out in a series of
editorials the need for university
wide awards, showing that soror
ity or fraternity leadership meant
less than University leadership,
and that worthy groups were be
ing slighted.
After a delegation of several of
the groups interested visited the
dean of men asking for equal op
portunity for all groups, Greek
letter houses, dormitories, and
clubs alike, Vice-president Barker
made his donation.
Sponsors Award
Burt Brown Barker, vice-presi
dent of the University, who has
provided for a scholastic award to
which every organization on the
campus Is eligible.
Conference Best
In History, Says
Prexy Stoddard
Leader of Student Body
Returns to Studies
At University
President Made Chairman
Of Standing Group
Delayed in his return to school
by attendance at the annual con
ference of the National Student
Federation of America in Palo
Alto January 1-4, Tom Stoddard,
president of the associated stu
dents, registered at Johnson hall
yesterday morning, and was back
at his office in Friendly hall yes
terday afternoon.
Stoddard is enthusiastic over
the conference. ‘‘The old timers
say it was the best ever staged,”
he said. ‘‘Representatives of the
student governments of more than
100 colleges and universities in all
parts of the United States were
in attendance.”
Leads Group
While at the conference, the
Oregon president was chairman of
one of the eight discussion groups,
leading the symposium on student
body publications. He was hon
ored by being elected national
delegate at large on the executive
committee of the federation, and
was made chairman of a standing
committee on publications.
His position as national dele
gate will require Stoddard’s at
tendance at a meeting of the ex
ecutive committee to be held in
New York City on June 30, and
at the next annual congress, sched
uled for Georgia Tech late next
December. _
“Stanford proved to be a won
derful host,” said Stoddard. "All
the delegates to the congress were
honor guests at the Stanford
Army football game New Year’s
day; a wonderful dance was given
us in Toyon hall, on the campus,
and the banquet held the last eve
ning of the congress was a very
entertaining affair.”
Dean Stone’s Journalistic
Career Packed With Thrills
By BOBBY REID
The doubtful “thrill” of almost
being the chief actor at a necktie
party, being incarcerated in a
“bull pen” with the ring leaders
of a strike because he was
thought a suspicious character at
Coeur d’Alene, reporting the des
perate, tense struggle of the cor
rupt political gangs in the early
days of Montana history are
bright threads woven into the
fabric of the life of Dean Arthur
L. Stone, for 16 years dean of the
school of Journalism at the Uni
versity of Montana, who is to be
the principal speaker of the 10th
Annual High School Conference,
held here Friday and Saturday.
The year's between 1890 and
1905 were filled with an intense
rivalry between miners in Mon
tana, and this rivalry extended
into politics. Political feeling was
very high, explained Dean Stone,
the legislature was divided into
two factions on account of the
famous Clark-Daly mining feud.
W. A. Clark was running for
United States senator and Daly,
representing opposite claims, op
posed him; thus began the noto
rious bribery scandal.
Dean Stone was reporting on
the Anaconda Standard, then
probably the greatest newspaper
in the far west, and was assigned
to the stirring, glamorous politi
cal struggles.
'The most dramatic happenings
that I ever had to report occurred
one day at noon when the state
legislature had a joint session. A
fellow named Whiteside, repre
sentative from northern Montana,
who had constituted himself a de
tective, suddenly rose from his
seat and waved thirty $1,000 bills
in his hand, offering them as evi
dence against Clark for bribery,
claiming that they had been given
to four men of his party. The
atmosphere electrified, I thought

Spears Back
Home; Denies
Interest Here
Minnesota Man, Thought
Best Possibility as
Coach, Says ‘No'
OFFICIALS ARE SILENT
Captain McEwan Contract
Unsettled; No Meetings
Scheduled
By RY VAN DINE
Just v ; the Oregon campus
gets all .i, ip about the possi
bilities ol C. W. Spears, head
coach at c Tniveresity of Min
nesota, b« ft ig the next head
mentor of Vebfoot grid team,
a wire s ® from Minneapolis
told of the j /al of the rotund
personage i at Gopher head
quarters. I iears immediate
ly denied tht was at all inter
ested in the grid coaching job at
Oregon. The story stated that
Spears had taken an extended va
cation through the west.
Not in Eugene
Spears was not content with
merely stating that he wafs not
interested in the position but he
emphatically stated that he had
not been in Eugene. Reports from
Portland and California stated
that Spears had stopped over here
on his way back to Minnesota.
Oregon athletic heads were non
committal when questioned about
the rumored visit,'although they
admitted that Dr. Spears had
been interviewed while he was in
California.
The denial has again thrown
the football coaching situation
open to plenty of discussion, with
Oregon athletic heads continuing
their tight-lipped policy. There
are plenty of bacRers of Bill
Reinhart, assistant coach, to fill
the head coach job, while others
favor the importation of a mentor
from the middle-west.
Benefiel Away
Jack Benefiel, graduate mana
ger, could not be reached last
night to determine ■whether (or
not Spears had been dropped from
the list of possibilities.
No settlement of Captain John
J. McEwan’s contract has been
made, according to Tom Stoddard,
student body president. There is
no meeting of the finance com
mittee scheduled for the remainder
of this week, Johnny Anderson de
clared yesterday. When a settle
ment is made it is probable that a
special meeting of the committee
will be called.
Dr. Delbert Stannard, alumni
member of the athletic committee,
declared that he was unaware of
any meetings of that body in the
near future.
BOOKLET HONORS

A pamphlet of memoirs on Ma
jor Murray Warner, to be perma
nently buried in the cornerstone
of the Memorial Arts building en
dowed by his widow, Mrs. Ger
trude Bass Warner, was complet
ed yesterday by the University
Press.
The pamphlet includes an in
troduction by President Arnold
Bennett Hall; memoirs on Major
Warner by Leonard Metcaif, one
of his classmates at the Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology;
and a memorial by Captain Phil
lips H. Mallory, who worked un
der him in the quartermaster
corps during the World war.
Except for a few extra copies
for Dr. Hall’s personal use, only,
one copy of the pamphlet was
made. The printing, which is of
high artistic quality, was worked
out and directed by Robert C. Hall,
superintendent of the University
Press.
Oregon Professor’s
Book To Be Published
Harold S. Tuttle of the school of
education has just received word
from the Abbington Press that
the material for his book had been
accepted by them for publication.
The title of this work is: “Charac
ter Education by State and
Church.”
Mr. Tuttle’s book is one of a
series on different phases of edu
cation, each by a different author,
edited by George H. Betts of
Northwestern university. It prob
ably will be off the press during
the early part of May.

Frosh Glee Only
Week Off; Plans
Shaping Up Well
Dance To Be Hotter Than
Bonfire, Chairman of
Affair Says
Decorations and Music Is
Well Planned
“The Frosh Glee is going to be
the traditional bigger and better
and best Frosh Glee that has ever
been given, just like our frosh
bonfire, only even hotter than
that,” declared Chuck Gillespie,
general chairman, enthusiastical
ly last night about plans for the
annual frosh contribution to the
terpsichorean entertainment of
the campus, which will be held
January 18 at the Igloo.
“The Glee is only a week off,
but we have had our committees
lined up for several days now and
they are all quite well along with
their plans to make this the best
event that any freshman class has
ever put over. It’s going to be
some struggle, what I mean,”
Chuck added.
“As for decorations,” put in
Marion Frost, in charge of that
part of the affair, “they’re pretty
hot. Any further than that, I
think I shall emulate Cal Cool
idge.”
Johnny Robinson’s orchestra has
been secured to help make the
Glee a memorable event of the
year, according to the general
chairman. Programs are also un
der way, as are arrangements for
decorations. The dance will be
formal for women, informal for
men.
The members of the committee
in charge are:
Charles Gillespie, general chair
man; assistant chairman, John
Finley; decorations and programs,
Marion Frost, chairman, Georgia
Miller, Melvyn Lofton; floor, Bob
Near; patrons and patronesses,
Jane Stange; clean-up, John Mc
Culloch; publicity, Peggy Slauson;
electrician, Myrl Lindley; treas
urer, Wes Edwards.
O. K. BURRELL HAS
ARTICLE PUBLISHED
To have the lead article in one
of the leading publications of his
field is the honor recently won
by O. K. Burrell, professor of busi
ness administration.
The article, “Capital Stock
Valuation in Tax Cases,” appeared
in the January issue of the Journal
of Accountancy, which i3 one of
the leading accountant magazines
in the country.
Professor Burrell believes that
the article, which deals with the
value of stocks left in wills that
must be taxed under inheritance
laws, is the first dealing with the
subject that has been published.

Play Tonight
Varsity Team To Tangle
Willi Cougars in
Opener
NORTHERNERS STRONG
Reinhart Will Introduce
Revamped Aggregation
To Campus
By JACK BURKE
With a successful preliminary
program behind them, the varsity
basketball team will open its cam
paign for the Northwest confer
ence title tonight in a game
against the Washington State
Cougars, at McArthur court. The
time of the contest will be 8
o’clock.
Jack Friel, coach of the Pull
man team, is anxious to start off
his conference season with a win
and will have a team of exper
ienced men on the court, three of
the starting lineup being letter
men. This is Friel's second year
of basketball coaching at Pullman
and he is determined to make a
good showing.
Bill Reinhart, the Webfoot men
tor, has had some difficulty this
season due to a lack of exper
ienced material, but his team has
been coming along rapidly and
should be able to meet the Cou
gars on even terms.
Last year the Washington State
team finished well up in the race
for the Northwest title and but
three men from the 1929 squad
were absent when the call was
sent out for candidates this sea
son. The men Friel lost were Mc
! Daniel, Gilleland and Rohmer.
These men have been replaced on
the regular lineup by sophomores,
! who showed to good advantage on
the freshman team.
In addition to the starting line
up, which Bill Reinhart has issued
for tonight’s clash, the coach will
have a strong list of reserves
ready to use. These men have
shown their worth in the prelim
inary games and may aid mater
ially in the fight to score a win
over the Cougars. Chastain, a
veteran of the varsity of two years
ago, has returned to the lineup
and will, when he hits his stride,
be of use. Hughes and Keenen
are also to be reckoned with. An
other man who has shown to be
a scoring threat is Steve Fletcher,
who showed to good advantage in
the game with the Willamette
Bearcats.
The lineup for tonight’s game as
issued by the two coaches follows:
Wash. State Pos. Oregon
VanTuye*.F . Dolp
Carleton.F . Calkins
Endslow*.C . Eberhart
Holsten.G .Olinger

Few Snapshots in
For tree Oregana
January 15 Final Date To
Enter Photos
There is still a good chance for
students to win a free Oregana,
says Lester McDonald, editor of
the yearbook, who reported yes
terday that only a few snapshots
had been turned in for the con
test and that unless more were
received between now and the
close of competition, someone will
get practically a free gift of an
Oregana.
January 15th is the closing date,
and all contributions must be
mailed or turned into the office
at the Shack by 8 p. m. of that
day.
"Any snap, yourself, your room
mate, your girl, are all accepta
ble," said McDonald. “The cra
zier the pose, the worse the pic
ture the better, we aren’t par
ticular, but we do want pictures.

Class Absences
To Be Watched by
Personnel Group
Relation Between Laxness
In Attendance, Activity
Work Investigated
Effect on Student Work
Will Be Determined
An investigation of absences
from classes and their effect on
the work of students was author
ized by the faculty at a recent
meeting. The personnel council,
of which Dr. Howard R. Taylor is
in charge, will have direct charge
of the research; Dr. Edmund S.
Conklin, head of the department
of psychology, is chairman of the
committee making the study.
One of the things which it is
hoped will be brought out as a
result of this work is the relation
between absences from classes
and the participation of the stu
dent in activities. The policies of
the various departments in re
quiring attendance at classes will
also be revealed, it is expected.
In speaking of the investigation,
Dr. J. H. Gilbert, dean of the col
lege of literature, science, and the
arts, stated that it was not for the
purpose of changing the present
policy of the University in regard
to this matter, but to find what
the facts are, and their possible
bearing on the future policy of
the University.
