A decidedly cosmopolitan flavor characterized the Phi Sigma Kap pa presentation, with South Seas and Oriental themes prevailing.

To Attract Mami J e - C Gerlinger Hall To Be Scene : Of Yearling Splurge; Welch, Chairman Patrons Named; Kelly To Head Senior Brawl It will be a big night for those who are fortunate enough to be either seniors or freshmen. For from 9 till 12 this evening, the dignified members of the class of 1930 will romp at a “kid party” at the Campa Shoppe, and the freshmen, freed from all fear of interference from Order of the O men, Oregon Knights, or any pes tiferous upperclassmen, will be able to enjoy themselves in peace at their informal dance in Ger linger hall. Busses To Call Between 8:30 and 9, special busses will call at the sorority houses and women’s halls to take the senior femmes to the no-date kid party. The busses will wait only two minutes at each house. The men will be expected to strug gle over to the Campa Shoppe on foot or by private conveyance. Johnny Robinsonls "Varsity Vagabonds” will provide the mu sic for the gambols of the seniors. Chairman Harold Kelley has an nounced the following as patrons for the senior dance: Dean and Mrs. James H. Gilbert, Dr. and Mrs. Charles Leslie Schwering, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas I. Chapman, and Mr. and Mrs. Dan Ggae. Harvey Welch, chairman of the frosh dance guarantees plenty of room at Gerlinger hall for any number of couples. “In addition to the women’s gym we will open the sun room and two other ad joining rooms for dancing,” he said. “George Weber’s orchestra will play. Nancy Taylor has named the pa trons who will attend the fresh man dance. They are: Dean and Mrs. John Straub, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. G. Thacher, Mr. and Mrs. George H. Godfrey, Celia Stoddard, Hugh Biggs, John M. Rae, and S. Stephenson Smith. Co-eds in Rush Leave Pocketbook on Train Two girls disembarked from a Southern Pacific train on the eve ning of January 19, leaving as an only trace of their actions a pock etbook. The pocketbook contained no means of identification, accord ing to F. G. Lewis, ticket mana ger at the S. P. depot, who found the purse the following morning; but the owner may claim it by calling at the ticket office and identifying it. Contest For Men Only is Scheduled by Soph Prexy TTEAVY. heavy hangs over the | heads of all sophomore men if they fail to appear today at 5 ■ o’clock at Villard hall, says Jack Stipe, president. Jack has something up his sleeve, and as his sleeves are par ticularly well darned, nothing leaked out from him about what the burning matter was. His cohorts, right-handed men, call ’em what you will, seemed to know more about what the meet ing was for. Joe Hughes rubbed his beard thoughtfully, yes, that’s it, his beard. Now we’re getting down to business. Joe said that it was not much use for the youngest members of the class to come to it if they couldn’t sprout whis kers, as no fake stuff is going to be allowed in this affair, no sir, it’s gotta be the “genuwine” thing. So you see, there it is; no hog calling contest, or contest for the best distance spitter, neither for the best biscuit maker in the class, but something for appeal to the manly pride of every two-fisted he-man in the sophomore tribe. Bill Pittman Chosen Head Of Shine Dav y Annual Event of* Junior Class To Be Held Here Soon DATE IS NOT DECIDED Bootblacks Getting Ready Equipment To Shine For a Dime Bill Pittman, junior in biology, as been named chairman of the inual “shine day,” it was an Bill YVhitely nounced yes ter d a y by Bill Whitely, p r e s i dent of the jun ior class. At pres ent the date for the affair is un decided, but it will probably oc cur in the next three or four weeks. “Junior shine day” has for the past seven years been a tradi tional activity of the junior class. Improvised shoe-shining stands are set up at prominent points about the campus, and students may have their shoes shined by junior men for the small sum of one dime. The money derived from the day has usually been given to some charitable cause, and Pittman is expected to name a committee to decide upon the disposition of this year’s profits. Pittman Active Pittman has been active in class work during his three years in the University. Two years ago he was chairman of the freshman pic nic, and was later a member of the 1928 sophomore informal di rectorate. Last fall he was chair man of decorations for the home coming dance, and was a member of the correspondence committee for the high school conference held on the campus early this term. “In appointing Pittman, I be lieve that I have found one of the most capable members in the class for the position,” Whitely said, “and I am sure that he will re ceive the support of the entire class in putting on the biggest junior shine day yet held.” Pen Pushers Gel Big Break in New Writing Courses Extension Adds Two New Courses to List of Studies Attention, all ye budding writ ers, pen-pushers, ink-splashers and amateur literary intelligentsia. At last your importance is being recognized. No longer is all the educational stress to be laid upon memorizing dates and adding up long columns of figures. At last the value of helping along would-be literary lights is being realized. This is demonstrated by two new courses being added by the University of Oregon correspond ence department. One is called Manuscript, and, according to Dean Parsons of the extension di vision, is a highly individual course, depending much upon writ ten criticism of a detailed and specialized sort. It will be con ducted by Mrs. Grace E. Jordan, formerly editor of Old Oregon, and on the journalism staff of both the University of Oregon and the Uni versity of Washington. Another course is being offered for rhyme-slingers who already have attained some degree of tech nique and facility. It is a special ized course in versification, the instructor of which will be an nounced later. Also, in the correspondence de partment, the course in principles of economics has proved so popu lar that it will be revised and pre sented fegain by Dr. Victor P. . Morris. Set For Beavers Above, are two VVebfoot guards who will undoubtedly see service in tomorrow’s opening game with the strong Oregon State team. On the left is Harold Olinger, who has taken advantage of what opportunities he has nad so far, and should hit his stride against the Beavers. Cliff Horner, on the right, is one of the two lettermen upon whom Billy Reinhart has built his team. He is fast and should require a lot of close checking should he see action tomorrow night. Yearlings, Rooks Play Third Hoop Tilt at Corvallis Frosli Set for Deciding Game of Series Tonight Callison Has Undefeated Aggregation — Tonight Prink Callison will take a yearling team to Corvallis to meet the Rooks for the third time. Prink Callison Last fall Prink took his football eleven to the home of the Ore gon State first year men and trimmed them. Last week he brought over a basketball team and t r i mmed them. Tonight he will try it again, hoping to make it three straight, with one game left to finish a highly successful season. Prink has had great success against the Rooks and with a team such as he has there seems to be no reason why he can’t con tinue to win. One fact against him is that the Black and Orange yearlings have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Rook Stars They have a couple of men over there who, up till the time they met the frosh, were very outstand ing and mentioned as varsity can didates. Against the close check ing players taught by Callison, however, it was a different story. It nevertheless requires constant vigilance to keep these men guard ed and any slip may cause a loss. Callison is anxious to win four in a row and the Oregon State men tor is equally anxious to win at least one and split the series if possible. A good, fast game is 1 therefore assured the fan3. Frosh Strong | The starting lineup for the frosh i will no doubt include the sharp shooting Clarence James, paired with Cliff Garnett, a great defen sive player, at forwards; Cap Rob erts, whose height and shooting eye make him valuable, at center; and Bill Morgan, steady as any I one, and the other scoring threat, Don Siegmund, at guqrds. To relieve these men, Callison may call on Bill Bowerman, George Beechlcr, Homer Stahl, and Roy Shaneman, any one of whom is 1 capable. Heads of Houses Have Slight Edge On Mortar Board Prexies Have Imposing String of Substitutes For Game Honoraries Claim More Veteran Line-up A few experts, several past stars, and a number of novices will comprise the lineups for the basketball game to be played be tween heads of houses and Mortar Board Saturday afternoon in the women’s gym at 2 o’clock. The Thespians have been en listed to root for the Mortar Board women, and the Kwamas to do or ganized rooting for the opposing team, which is composed of the presidents of women’s houses. The tickets for the game will be han dled by the Thespians in the va rious organizations, and may be obtained at the gym for 10 cents. Probable Lineup Although Heads of Houses has the advantage of a second string Mortar Board seems to have more veteran players. Mortar Board: Helen Peters—Forward. Beatrice Milligan—Guard. Florence McNerney — Jumping center. Betty Schmeer—Running cen ter. Marjorie Chester—Guard. Eldress Judd—Forward. Margaret Edmunson, who was the only substitute, has gone to Seattle for the week-end. Heads of Houses: Florence Woughton—Forward. Betty Fairchild—Guard. Dorothy Davidson—J u m p i n g center. Harriet Duer—Running center. Loleta Jaeger—Forward. Nan Crary—Guard. Substitutes are: Naomi Hohman, Katherine Rutherford, Mary Fran ces Dilday, and Pauline Schule. Second Stringers Second string: Helen Jean Holt—Jumping cen ter. Margaret Agnew—Forward. Margaret Clark—Forward. Avis Hartsen—Running center. Eloise Shade—Guard. Jane Thompson—Guard. Margaret Clark, president of Heads of Houses, has asked all of her women to turn out early so that Mahadah Kurtz, who is going to referee the game, may give them some necessary instructions. Vandals Tear Pages Out of 'Libe’ Books Irreparable Losses Done To Great Number of Bound Works MAY CHANGE SYSTEM Deletions From Several Old Magazines Found In Library File Damage by vandals, in excess of several hundred dollars was dis covered yesterday by M. H. Doug lass and library assistants after a careful checkup of bound per iodicals and reference works had been made. Forty-two volumes of the “Thea tre Magazine” were found with pages missing and illustrations cut out. In every volume, from one to twenty pages were missing or mutilated. “It’s a red letter day,” said Mr. Douglass, “when none are brought to the reference desk.” Works Valuable Some magazines run back to 1840 and are almost impossible to replace. Historically they are be coming more and more important every day. Reference books have also been found with pages miss ig and articles clipped out. It is thought that students who have been unable, to finish assignments at one time have torn them out for future reference. ‘‘Students should cooperate to prevent such things,” said Mr. Douglass. “Wa shall have to put all such material on closed shelves if It continues or our reference works won’t be much good.” May Change System Under the present system in use in the library, the student can go to the reference shelves and take the books down himself. They are not allowed out of the library, but there is plenty of chance of destruction back in the files. If the system had to be changed and all books kept on closed shelves, it would entail a greater hardship on the student and more time to complete his work. The mutilation of public prop erty is punishable by penitentiary imprisonment, according to the Oregon code. One person observ ed last year mutilating books was expelled from the University. Miss Boyer Now Attending Alumni Meet in Spokane ‘Old Oregon’ Circulation Manager Is Asked to Read Paper Miss Peggy Boyer, circulation manager of “Old Oregon,” left Eu gene yesterday to attend the an nual conference of District VIII of the American Alumni Council, being held today and tomorrow at Spokane. She has been asked to deliver a paper on “Problems of a Circula tion Department.” This, accord ing to Jeannette Calkins, editor of “Old Oregon,” i3 quite an honor, as not many are so appointed. The alumni secretary of Gon zaga university will be host at the conference, to delegates from the leading colleges of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and British Columbia. Fred Ellsworth, mem ber of the national board of direc tors of the American Alumni Council, will be guest of honor. The conference is being held to discuss alumni activities and prob lems. Oregana Copy Must Re Complete Monday Honorary groups must have their copy for the 1930 Oregana in to the editor by Monday, Feb ruary 3, according to Lester Mc Donald, editor.

Colds Increase Infirmary List | Ten Students Confined for t Treatment Three new patients, Katheryn Feldman, Daniel Boone, and Vir ginia Smith, were admitted to the infirmary yesterday, making a to tal of ten patients now on the in | firmary list. George Branstator, Lillian Ter rell, Marian Musgrove, Richard Schroeder, James Raley, Margaret Ramsey, and Marguerite Looney are the other patients. Everyone on the list is suffering from a cold in some form. Day of Game At Corvallis May be Used Stoddard, Benefiel Talk Of New System of Holding Event IN VOGUE IN SOUTH Week-end of Contest May Be Homecoming for Both Schools Hblding the 1930 Oregon Home coming on the week-end of the Oregon-Oregon State game in spite of the fact that it is to be played in Corvallis next fall is a project now receiving serious con sideration, according to state ments made yesterday by Jack Benefiel, graduate manager, and Tom Stoddard, president of the associated students. In brief, the proposed plan Is that all the traditional Oregon Homecoming activities would be held as usual in Eugene, with the exception of the game itself. The noise-parade, the bonfire, the campus luhcheon, the Homecom ing dance, would all occur in the usual sequence. Everybody would leave for Corvallis by special train or private car around noon on Saturday and would be back in Eugene after the game in time for dinner and the big dance. Used in South “For years Stanford and Cali fornia have held their respective homecomings on the same day,” Stoddard said, “the alumni and students of each school taking turns covering the 50 miles be tween the two schools. This sys tem has been very successful down there, and with only 40 miles between Eugene and Corvallis, there is no reason why the two Oregon schools should not adopt a similar system.” Benefiel pointed out that under the present system of having a homecoming featured by the Ore gon State game only every other year, half of the Oregon Home comings are not at all successful. He remarked upon the indiffer ence which marked the 1928 Home coming, when Oregon played Mon tana, and pointed out that the game with Idaho which is planned to feature the 1930 Homecoming will in all probability be no better as a drawing card for alumni. Would Aid Reunionss “But if Oregon should play Ore gon State at every Homecoming, our annual reunions will be uni formly successful, regardless of whether the game is played in Eu gene or Corvallis, and every Home coming game will have a capacity crowd.” Before such a plan could be adopted it would have to be passed upon by the athletic committee and the executive council. It is expected that some formal action will be taken upon the proposition in the near future. Co-eds Mix Many Waffles at Dance Attendance of 300 at New Campus Event I I Introduction of a new Associat ! ed Women Students event was suc cessfully made yesterday when the first A. W. S. waffle-dance, ‘ held at the Craftsmen’s club, drew a crowd of around 300.
