Those possessing pictures of the events would be doing the Oregana a favor by enclosing them in en velopes addressed to Les Mc Donald, and pinning them to the bulletin board of the Jour nalism building.

Ernest Wakefield Tells Experiences Throughout World ‘Tact’ Prime Requisite in Foreign Services, Says Neuvitas Consul Speaks to Oregon Students In Commerce Building With 30 years experience in foreign- lands in the American consular service to hack his statements Ernest A. Wakefield, recently appointed consul to Neu vitas, the largest sugar port in Cuba and in the world, spoke yes terday evening in the Commerce building. He cited anecdotes from his long career which includes service, first in Canada, in the northern section of Ontario, then in India, where he opened a consulate in Burma. He was then transferred to Port Elizabeth, South Africa, at that time the world’s center for the production of ostrich feathers. | From this position, he was moved to his fourth post, in the Mexican service; and hab /recently been promoted to his present position in Cuba. Seen Criminals In his years of service, Mr. Wakefield says, he has seen some of the most disreputable criminals in the world. One fugitive from the United States he was forced to apprehend while in Canada was probably the worst, he said. In Burma he ran up against plots in the oil fields. In South Africa during the World war he was wit ness to two mobs which broke out : against the 1700 German settlers (Continued on Page Two) Men Wanted To Build Igloo ^ ^ y ^ ^ ^ x Women Wanted, 4To Get Hot for Papa’ TURN ON'THE HEAT! Are the University of Oregon co-eds capable of turning our Alaskan campus into a scene of the sunny south ? Although this campus already has one igloo, it is the opinion of the Oregana editor, that during this cold, icy, weather, the campus is large enough for a baby igloo. Can you understand the mean ing of all this? Neither can we, but nevertheless, we would like to see all male students who have no 10 o’clock classes on the par ade ground behind the militarj building. The object of this meeting is | to build a regular snow igloo on | our Oregon campus. Will you ; show the old Oregon spirit and bring out all shovels and picks which are available? Now, to go on with the story. Ten fearless, hot, dancing Oregon Co-eds are to be in front of the Baby Igloo at 3 o’clock on Thurs : day afternoon to strut their stuff in the way of hot dance antics. All those who saw "Sunny Side Up,’’ will remember the clever way in which those icy igloos were transformed into palm trees j of the south by mere dancing fe j males. This took place in only a 1 (Continued on Page Three) Dinner Plans Complete for Artist Guests Portland Symphony Group To Be Entertained By University APPEARS JANUARY 20 Dr. W. Van Hoogstraten Director Has Degree From Oregon The personnel of the Portland Symphony orchestra will be enter tained at an informal dinner to be given for them by the associ ated students at the men’s dormi tory next Monday evening at 6,. preceding the concert which they are to present at McArthur court with the University chorus. Dick Horn, student body vice president, will be in charge of the affair. He has named Dorothy Teepe and Phyllis van Kimmell as assistants. “This dinner is not at all in the nature of a banquet,” Horn said yesterday. “There will be no speeches, and it will probably not last more than an hour or so, as the members of the orchestra must leave early to get ready for the concert, which will • start at 8:30.” Faculty Invited Willem van Hoogstraten, who, in addition to being the conductor of the orchestra, is the holder of an honorary degree from the Uni versity and a member of the Portland Extension school faculty, will be the guest of honor. Among guests who have been invited from the University fac ulty are President and Mrs. Hall, Vice-president and Mrs. Burt Brown Barker, Dean and Mrs. James ft. Gilbert, Mr. and Mrs. John Stark Evans, Mr. and Mrs. George Hopkins, Mr. and Mrs. Hex Underwood, and Dean John J. Landsbury. Students Represented Tom Stoddard, Beatrice Milli gan, Florence McNemey, Dick Horn, James Dezendorf and John Anderson will represent the asso ciated students. The orchestra will arrive from Portland at 3:30 Monday after noon and will go immediately to McArthur court for a rehearsal with the chorus. They will not stay in Eugene overnight but will leave on a 2:30 a. m. train for Portland. Ronald Robnett, assist ant graduate manager, is in charge of arrangements.

New Mentor Is Fully Able To Handle Job, Says Student Prexy T^OM STODDARD, president of the associated students, last night expressed full confidence in the ability of Dr. Clar ence \V. Spears as head coach of the Oregon varsity squad, announcing that the associated students and the University had worked out a salary for the new man as head football coach for the associated students and professor of physical education and physician in the health department for the University. The full text of the statement by Stoddard is as follows: • “Dr. Clarence W. Spears of Minnesota was today elected head football coach at the University of Oregon by unanimous vote of the executive council. This action was approved by President Arnold Bennett Hall, president of the University, and he will submit it to the state board of higher education for final confirmation. “The election of Dr. Spears has come after a thorough in vestigation of all coaches*available and we believe that we arc electing the very best man that we can get. The highest rec ommendations that have been made for him, the fact that stu dents, faculty and alumni of Minnesota were unanimous in their desire to kee\) him there, and his excellent work as coach, make him outstanding for the place. “Dr. Spears will work'in perfectly with the athletic situa tion here.

Kuykendall, ’13, al umni president in ’22 and ’24 died < Wednesday morning of pneumonia at the Eugene hospital after an illness of a little ever a week. Mr Kuykendall was an attor- 1 ney at Klamath Falls and the son of an old pioneer family. While on the University campus he was ' prominent in student affairs, hav- : ing been a quarterback on the ' varsity teams and one of the greatest field generals Oregon has ' ever known. His position as president of* the : Alumni association from ’22 to* ' ’24 was very important, according : to Jeannette Calkins, secretary, as ■ the gift campaign for the Camp- i bell fine arts museum was launch ed at that time. After receiving his B. A. degree here Mr. Kuyken dall went to Columbia university, New York, where he obtained an LLB. degree in 1914. He was also a captain in the U. S. army during | the World war.

Both women were taken to the Pacific Christian hospital, where t was reported, after a prelimi lary investigation, that neither vas in a serious condition. Mrs. Pitch was the more seriously hurt >f the two, suffering numerous :uts and abrasions about the head ind chest. Mrs. Seybolt received ninor bruises and scratches on the side and face. Mrs. Seybolt was to direct the performance of “The Last of Mrs. 2heyney,” presented by the Na tional Collegiate Players, at the Heilig theater last night. In her absence, Cecil Matson, assistant in the drama department, took charge of the play. Dyer, who is employed as a mo tor stage driver between Portland and Eugene, had just cleared the intersection and, according to tHe police report, was traveling slowly east on 11th street, when the two tvomen stepped from the curb about three feet ahead of him. (Continued on Paf/e Ttiree) PLAY HIGHLY PRAISED “The Last of Mrs. Cheyney” Declared Success By BOB GUILD Not enough good things can be said of "The Last of Mrs. Chey ney.” An excellent cast, both in- ! dividually and collectively, sue- j cessfully held a large gudience at ; the Heilig theatre last night from ; the rise of the curtain till the tri umphantly happy ending. There was not a drop in the smooth cres cendo of this fast, light-moving English comedy. The play itself should be men tioned first. It is witty in all its lines, refreshing in its airy qual ities, and sufficiently intriguing to be termed subtle. At least, most of It is subtle^ Amused chuckles were the order of the evening, and only once or twice did a hearty laughter betray the fact that not always was the au j thor, Lonsdale, being witty. It was then that he was honestly funny. What happens ? Well, mostly Mrs. Cheyney near ly steals the pearls. In fact, we were quite worried for a while for fear she would, but Lord Dilling quite capably stopped her. Any way, there was a''tea party, and a house party, and a bedroom scene. What more could one ask, especially since Nancy Thielsen is so attractive, (or should I say likeable), In pajamas? There were high lights. Jewel Ellis was one of them. In this, her first appearance bn a Eugene 3tage, she did herself proud. From start to finish she was magnetic. She had finesse, even in her lines, which we must confess were some times a little rough. And to fi nesse those lines was somewhat (Continued on Page Four) Class of 1933 Asks Campus To Big Dance Lawrence Bay Completes Plans for Annual Yearling Glee IGLOO TO BE SCENE President Urges Informal Attire; Says Tuxedos Out of Place Cordially inviting every student of the University to attend the Frosh Glee at the Igloo Saturday night, and emphasizing the fact that no admittance price will be charged, Lawrence fiay, president of the freshman class, issued the following statement last night: “The class of 1933 takes the op portunity of acting as host to the entire University at the annual Frosh Glee. Not only the stu dents, but the faculty members as well, are urged to attend and en joy the evening of dancing. No admittance fee is being charged. Committees Work "Our committees, under Charles Gillespie, general chairman, are working to make the event a pleasant and successful one and the individual members of the class will join in offering their hospitality to their fellow stu dents. “The event will be strictly in formal. A student rule forbids the wearing of formal clothes by first-year men and, in this case, upperclassmen in tuxedos will be decidedly out of place. Invites Students “We hope to make the Frosh Glee a memorable affair, and I take this opportunity of not only inviting our fellow students to At tend, but of urging every fresh man to make himself an individ ual host, and to do everything in his power to make the evening a pleasant one.” Sunday Vespers Program* Slated For Music Hour % Beethoven Selections To Be Presented by *U’ Orchestra A tragedy written by the fam ous German poet, Goethe, inspired his equally famous German con temporary, Beethoven, to a musical work of the same name—Egmont —some 120 years ago.

Am positive your future here will be enjoyable to you. Best regards. TOM STODDARD, President Student Body. Oddly enough the foregoing wire is the first official telegram to pass between the newly elected coach and the officers of the stu dent body. Why? Because all the previous negotiations have been carried on by word of mouth, that is, over (Continued on Page Four) Rifle Challenge Taken up; Porto Rico Meet Slated Telegraph Shoots Will Be Held With Schools All Over United States Oregon Marksmen To Have 44-Match Schedule The Oregon rifle team has lined up 44 matches with institutions all over the United States and one with the University of Porto Rico as well. This far outnumbers the opponent list in previous years. All of the matches will be con ducted during February and March. Ab the rifle team is composed mostly of veterans, Oregon has an excellent chance of high national recognition in the sport.

Spears, for the last five years head football coach at the University of Minnesota, has been chosen to direct the des tinies of the Oregon grid team for the next five years, according# to an announcement made on Wednesday night by Tom Stod dard, president of the associated students. Final details of the con tract will be worked out at a meeting of the new coach and President Arnold Bennett Hall at Missoula, Montana, Friday, but it is understood that the terms are agreeable to the former Gopher mentor. The reported salary tendered the new Webfoot coach is $11,500 a year. This sum will be divided between the associated students and the University. The student body will pay Dr. Spears $6,500 per annum for his services as foot ball coach, and the University will pay him $5,000 a year as profes sor of physical education and phy sician in the health department. To Teach Football Dr. Spears will be here on a professorial basis, except for the contract arrangement, in accord ance with President Hall’s plana He will conduct classes in physical education and will also teach foot ball coaching. This is in accord ance with Dr. Hall’s plans to make the University of Oregon school of physical education, al ready recognized as a leader in its field, even more outstanding by having a course in the elements of football coaching taught by so prominent a man as Dr. Spears. From the time that Dr. Spears started coaching, at Dartmouth in 1917, he has always been very successful. He was only 23 years of age when he took over the head coaching duties there, being one of the youngest men ever to coach a major football team. Started at Dartmouth Dr. Spears coached at Dart mouth until the end of the 1920 season and then was chosen head coach at West Virginia. In 1925 he became head coach at Minne sota and he has been there since that time. Dr. Spears was bom at DeWitt, Arkansas, in 1894 and attended high school at Kewanee, Illinois. He was a student at Knox college and from there went to Rush Medical college in Chicago, where he was graduated from medicine (Continued on Page Two) Remember Your Illnesses? ******** Dispensary Keeps All Dope on a Card Remember that cold you had back In the spring term of 1928? Or that time you had your throat sprayed ? No ? Someone on the campus does. That someone is the University health service. In the records kept at the dis pensary, one can find detailed re ports of attention given every stu dent who attended the University. Every time you go into the in firmary or dispensary for medical attention, the office girl looks up your record and presents it with your slip to the nurse or doctor He looks at this and finds out / what sort of treatment was given to you on previous occasions and notices whether or not you have chronic ailments of any sort. When your throat has been sprayed he marks in another note and back goes your card in the files to await your next illness. When a student graduates from the University, his health record is put on the "dead files.” Health records are never destroyed. The health service now has records of all students who have attended the University since 1921, the pre vious records having been destroy ed at that date by a firfe which destroyed all records.
