TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1930 NUMBER 59 Spears toGetBehind W ebfoot Guns Early In F ebruary, Report v Minnesota U. Searches for New Mentor Changes in Schedule Are Anticipated Additions May Be Made Coach Expected To Leave Squad Unchanged While the Oregon student body is happy, content, and satisfied in having secured the servies of Dr. • Clarence W. Spears as football coach for at least five years, the student organization at Minnesota is trying to find a man who can accomplish a difficult task, that of coming up to the high standard set by Dr. Spears during his five years as head coach at that insti tution. According to reports received after the meeting of Dr. Arnold Eennett Hall and the new coach at Missoula, Montana, the latter has planned to take up his new duties sometime during the early part of February. Dr. Spears has not announced any definite plan as to his assist ants for the coming season but has intimated that no radical changes will be attempted. Dr. Spears has been accustomed to teaching power football to his teams and it is expected that the men who have been assisting in the coaching of the style of foot ball fostered by Cap McEwan will be able to be of value to the new mentor as the two systems are based on the same power attack. ► wiui cnaziges comempiatea in the schedule, as drawn up at the yearly meeting of the Pacific Coast conference, Dr. Spears should have a well-balanced sched ule to begin work on. Three ad ditions are being considered — all with teams which should furnish opposition of a character far su perior .to the type offered by the majority of the teams already on the list. The Olympic club of San Fran cisco is being talked of as possible opponents in a game for a date, . at present open, in October. This club team has been a thorn in the sides of the southern mem bers of the conference for many years and can always be counted upon to furnish a great deal more than the average amount of com petition. The other two possibilities are Santa Clara and Gonzaga, both Catholic colleges whose athletic prowess is undenied. Neither of the two teams is a member of what is termed a major confer ence but can always be counted on to place a good team in the l running.

I’m sadly ig norant about your part of the country, but I’m supposing that it is cold. ‘“Why the letter ?’ you ask yourself. Just this—I want a sticker from your University to paste on my week-end bag. You may call this nerve—or impudence—or ..whatever ..you like, hut be a good sport and send me one or two, won’t you?” Sincerely, Thelma Gray.” The stickers went out by re turn mail.

Dunn, Latin in structor, in visiting the tomb of Virgil at Naples, during 1919, are told in an article by Professor Dunn on “Virgil’s Vanishing Tomb,’’ which appears in the Jan uary issue of Art and Archaeol ogy Very few people had entered the tomb for some time before 1919, according to Professor Dunn, who visited the tomb during his war service in Italy, when Naples was his headquarters. The fact that the old stairway leading to the tomb was torn down, the gate locked and rusted, and everything overgrown with weeds, led Pro fessor Dunn to believe that it was almost a case of rediscovery. The article is very well illustrated with old cuts of Virgil and his tomb. Art and Archaeology is the pub lication of the Archaeological So ciety of Washington, affiliated with the Archaeological Institute of America.

January Coldest In Toivn9s History 29 Highest Degree, Says Weather Man “Never, according to weather reports,” G. M. de Broekert, Eu gene weather m»n, said yesterday, when questioned about the pro longed cold snap, “has Eugene witnessed such cold weather dur ing the month of January. Just before the first of the year is generally the most severe time of the year, but this winter January holds the record.” “No one can tell just how long it will last,” continued Mr. de Broekert. “In 1924 the river froze over enough for ice skating, but so far this year I do not know of any place where such a sport can be enjoyed.” * Mr. de Broekert said that the cold weather started on the eighth with the mercury falling to 21 de grees above zero. This was the highest registered during the cold weather period with the exception of the temperature climbing to 29 degrees during the day on the 15th. The lowest temperature re corded was 10 degrees on January 11. Piano Instructor Loses Nearly $250 In Fine Records V a 1 u a ble Reproductions Taken From Studio Louie P. Artau Loss Recently Announced; Cannot Be Replaced Nearly 50 fine records, valued at approximately $250 have been taken from the studio of Louis Artau, piano instructor at the school of music, he has recently disclosed. The valuable musical collection disappeared either during examin ation week or the Christmas holi days, though Mr. Artau believes; it more likely that it was during “exams" when the building was open. The loss i! a particularly keen one to Mr. Artau because it in cludes a number of records that are not in the catalogs any more. The collection included old rec ords of Sarah Bernhardt, of Saint Saens, of Melba, Sembrich, Plan son. In the record library were three volumes, each containing 12 of the 12-inch records and a number more of the 10-lnch records. Many of the old records were made by English companies. The loss was covered in no way. DUNN APPOINTED TO MAGAZINE POST F. S. Dunn, professor of Latin, was recently appointed associate editor of the Classical Journal, the official publication' of the Clas sical Association of the Middle west and South, the Classical As sociation of New England, and the Classical Association of the Pacific States.

Rae, Oregon field manager, and assist ant professor of journalism at the University, Saturday afternoon, to talk over Pacific coast manage ment and publication problems. rvasn iniet speaker The chief speaker of the week end will be Dr. John Henry Nash of San Francisco, considered by connoisseurs to be one' of the world’s greatest printers. Dr. Nash is a member of the faculty of the school of journalism, supervising a class in advanced typography, and is the holder of a Doctor of Letters degree from the Univer sity. He will give two addresses, one before the newspaper men and another for the benefit of stu dents and townspeople.

DISCUSSION l$ROUP TO MEET AT FOUR The first of the Y. W. C. A. discussion groups will meet today at 4 o’clock in the Y. W. bunga low with Prof. Harold S. Tuttle, of the education department, lead ing the talk on “Outgrowing Our | Childhood Religion.” At the first meeting, members of the group will merely define | religion, and give their individual j opinions on the subject, according -to Professor Tuttle. “Religion is . not merely a basis of beliefs; it ( is an experience,” said the pro I fessor in pointing out some of the , points that would be brought up. ! "It is also a state of mind which affects one’s outlook on life-— ! one’s philosophy of life.” The group discussion is open to ; everyone, and will be held every I Tuttle in charge. I week at this time with Professor Symphony Pleases Audience Portland Leader Wins Highest Acclaim By GEORGE BARRON The Portland Symphony orches tra under the magnetic leadership of Willem van Hoogstraten pre sented a most enjoyable concert last evening at McArthur court. Dr. van Hoogstraten’s interpreta tion of the varied numbers on the program was exceedingly interest ing. He dramatizes each compo sition by putting his whole energy, his whole being, into the portrayal of its character or mood. He is indeed an artist of the first cali bre. The opening number Oberon Overture—Weber, was full of life and virility. It enabled the or chestra to get well warmed up for j the more serious work to follow, namely: Tschaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony. This, one of the great est work of the famous Russian composer, was full of the pathos and melancholy which permeates his compositions. Here the con i duclor was able to paint with i large sweeps of the brush the in tensity and conflict of the emo tions. The second group was marked by the appearance of the Univer sity choir. The choir, combined j with the orchestra, very ably pre j sented selections from the Meis ’ tersinger—Wagner. The singers showed that much effort had been expended upon them by their di rector, John Stark Evans. Next came the Aria from the Suite in D—J. S. Bach. This proved to be, as ever, a very popular number. In contrast to this bit of "pure” music there followed the melan choly Valse Triste of Sibelius. The closing number Caprice Espagnol —Rimsky-Korsakow was played with an abandon and vivacity in keeping with the Gypsy element contained in it. All in all it was a very success 1 ful concert the only regrettable feature being the untimely depart ure of some of the students who did not seem to realize that the University is a place which sup posedly fosters culture and good | manners. Large Majestic Radio Offered as First Prize Emerald-KORE Race Yearlings Win 54 to 18 Over Albany Quint Frosh and Salem High To - Stage Battle Tonight At Capital City Local Men Feature Speed In Most Attacks With three victories already captured, the Oregon frosh bas ketball team will attempt to make it four straight when they face Salem high at the capital tonight. This tussle will be the final one before they meet the Rooks Fri day in the first game of the an nual series between the Oregon State babes and the Oregon year lings. tf'resn rrom Saturdays 04-i» win at Albany college, the same line-up that started the tilt with the Pi rates will compose the first-line troops at Salem tonight, Coach Callison indicated yesterday. This j will include Clarence James, speed merchant of the squad, and Don Siegmund, frosh scoring ace, qt forwards; Bill Morgan, the main defensive bulwark and Cliff Gar nett, effective floor man, at guards. The center position will be filled by either George Beechler, who started Saturday’s fray and who showed up well during the time he played, or Cap Roberts, the elusive, red-headed boy who, by scoring 13 points against Al bany took the honors in that de partment. Frosh Look Bettor Although still tending to bunch up around the ball, the frosh five looked much better than they have looked in previous tilts. If the improvement continues, the Rooks will have tough sledding when they begin court rivalry with the Oregon yearlings Friday. Don Siegmund proved his worth again Saturday by coming through with a splendid scoring exhibi tion. Prink Callison used 11 men, bfit the starting five with the ex ception of George Beechler played most of the game. Clarence James and Cliff Garnett displayed good basketball form, while Bill Morgan, the huge guard, contin ued his consistent playing on the defensive side. Yearlings Feature Speed Frosh attacks in all the games played so far have featured speed. Prink Callison has his men trained to break fast and shoot only when they get the ball under the basket. Unless the Salem high quintet can match footwork with the frosh, they are in for a drubbing from Callison’s outfit. The team may be strengthened by Bill Bowerman’s return. He was out of bed yesterday although considerable doubt remains as to whether he will be in a condition to play against the cherry city quintet.

Tonight, 8 p. m.—Bachelordon Wednesday, Jan. 22—HendricKs Hall. Thursday, Jan. 23—Sigma Pi Tau. College Student Still Has Religion Declares Tuttle Has Merely Seen Change In Ethical Standards, Says Professor Three Phases of Religion In Definition Has the college student lost his religion ? According to Harold S. Tuttle, associate professor of education, the college student has not lost his religion but has undergone a change in ethical standards, which is explained as a loss of religion. Professor Tuttle, who formerly instructed religious work at Pa cific university and is at present a member of the religious and moral activity committee on this campus, has been interested in college students and their religious training for a number of years. "The typical American,” Profes sor Tuttle stated in expressing his opinion, “has grown up in an at mosphere of beliefs and thinks that religion depends upon beliefs. When these beliefs are given up, he does not lose his religion, but is merely thought to have lost it.” Instead of arguing about be liefs an individual should consider the psychological aspect of reli gion, Mr. Tuttle said. Religion Defined .Religion may be defined as con taining three phases: The first in cludes the emotional experiences which are associated with the peace of mind, hope, joy, and other emotions. This element is considered the core of all religion and deals with its inner nature. The second element is not pro duced by religion, but, neverthe less, is attached in the form of conduct or ethical code. Religion is always identified with a typical ethical program. Belief Is Element The third element, belief, which is always considered last, is asso ciated with emotion and can easily be given up. However, the ethical ideals cannot be cast aside by anyone. Professor Tuttle, who but a few days ago had a book entitled “Character Training by State and Church” published by the Abing don Press, is to give a series of talks concerning religious prob lems at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow every Tuesday afternoon at 4. MISS PECHOTTl WILL SPEAK HERE Jessica Pechotti, member of the social science faculty at the Uni versity of California, will be the speaker at an Associated Wom en’s Students mass meeting, to be held here March 14, according to Helen Peters, president. Members of A. W. S. have been homing for some time to secure Miss Pechotti as their speaker and they are elated to know that she will come here, Miss Peters said. High School Glee Club Will Present Concert The University high school glee club will be presented in concert January 27 at the school of music auditorium, according to Anne Landsbury Beck, head of the pub lic school music department of the school of music, who is director of the organization. The program is soon to be annoifnced. Law Instructor Will Be Principal Speaker Charles G. Howard, instructor in the law school, will be the princi pal speaker tonight at the meet ing of the Presbyterian Brother hood. His subject will be “A Con cept of Property.” Second, Third Awards Also To Be Given McDonald Theater Offers Four-day Contract to Winning Group Bachelor don To Break Ice Tonight With Program A beautiful new $167 Majestic cabinet radio, in a model which has not yet been released for gen eral distribution anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, will be the grand prize in the big Emerald KORE radio contest, which will start tonight at 8 o'clock with a half-hour of radio entertainment presented by Bachelordon frater nity. The radio, which was presented by courtesy of the McMorran and Washburne department store, in conjunction with station KORE, was secured by the efforts of Karl Thunemann, advertising manager of McMorran and Washburne. Thunemann sent a representa tive to Portland yesterday to con fer with officials of the Majestic corporation who were in Portland to arrange for the release of the new Model III in the state of Ore gon. Second prize, according to * rea Norton, contest director, will toe a handsome radio lamp, and third prize will be a bridge lamp. As was announced several days ago, Paul D. Green is offering a large silver cup to the living group which presents the best program among the men’s houses, while the Buster Brown shoe store is giv ing a cup to the winner among the girls’ houses. Officers of the Majestic cor poration were at first reluctant to give the new Model III Majestic as a prize for the contest, since they had not planned to announce its * release until a later date. Norton describes the new cabi net model as ‘‘the newest thing in radio, absolutely perfect in tone quality, volume, and cabinet work manship.” “It is possible for the winning house to secure the radio, the per manent silver trophy, and the theatre engagement,” said Nor ton last night. “We are expect ing that the announcement of the grand prizes will induce every house to put forth its best efforts to win. The University and the whole city of Eugene will be tuned in for the Bachelordon entertain ers tonight when they make their debut in the first evening of the contest. "Remember that the programs will be judged largely by the re ception they receive from the ra dio listeners, as expressed in let Keep a record of the programs as they are presented, and write tc KORE, telling what you think of them.” SENIORS ASK HARD QUESTIONS IN QUIZ Thirty seniors in the school of | journalism, members of Dean Eric j W. Allen's class in editing, handed | in as their assignment for yes 1 terday ten questions apiece to he ! used in quizzing freshmen news writing classes Thursday on their knowledge of current events. Dean Allen will select 100 ques tions for the quiz, which will cover the past three weeks in world events. “The seniors’ questions are a little too harsh,” Dean Allen said; "the average freshman could not be expected to answer them. They will have to be toned down a lit tle before they go into the mimeo graphed examination.” 4Adventure* Is Theme At Y.W.C.A. Vespers The “Five o’Clocks,” weekly Y. W. C. A. vespers, will be held to day at 5 p. m. in the Y. W. bunga low, with Mary Klemm in charge. An “Adventure” theme will be carried out in poetry which will be read by Miss Klemm, and mu sic by the Y.
