Two women’s houses, Delta Gamma and Kappa Kappa Gamma, will go on the air tonight at 8 and 8:30 respectively, to pre sent programs Nos. 17 and 18 in the Emerald-KORE radio contest, in competition for the Majestic cabinet radio offered by McMor ran and Washburne as first prize. The Sigma Nu program, which was the first to be announced as a “request program,” served as an excellent index of the popularity of the student radio presentations. Two telephone lines were kept constantly busy handling the re quest calls that were received from campus groups and Eugene towns people. Many Requests Sent in Most of the requests were for additional solo numbers by Bob Goodrich, who appeared in almost every number on the program in < some capacity, either as soloist, ' banjo accompanist, or as part of the Sigma Nu trio, composed of Goodrich, Bill McClaren, and Kelly Slocum. Goodrich also acted as program chairman. Walt Norblad, son of Governor Albin W. Norblad, proved to be an efficient radio announcer, and put his performers through their paces in rapid-fire order. Delta Gamma announces for their program tonight a “Colle giana Travelogue,” which will take the listener on a tour of various American campuses. Sally Addle man is program chairman, and Jewel Ellis will act as announcer. All Must Appear on Time Because of the withdrawal of several houses within the last few weeks, Fred Norton, contest direc tor, requests that every living group which has accepted a place on the contest schedule go through with its broadcast at the appointed time. “When a group fails to present a program, a great, deal of trouble and expense is entailed, both for the contest sponsors and for the ^ management of station KORE,” Norton said last night. Emerald and KORE officials praised the efforts of the Chi Psi’s, who pieced together a last-minute program rather than forfeit their broadcast hour, and Sigma Nu, who, although handicapped by not having a pianist, nevertheless worked up a program that com (Continued on Page Three) The Modiimj Finger -o ON THE JUDICIARY . . . ITS PURPOSE . . . -By OLIVER POLITICUS The judiciary as a new branch of the A. S. U. O. student govern ment seems assured. Tentative plans indicate that its members will be three, none of them stu dents, but having a secondary stu dent representation. First will be the dean of the law school, then the executive secretary of the Uni versity, and finally the dean of Necesesary legal ability will be found in such a body, representa tive for the University adminis tration, and in a sense represen tative for students. But there is really no need for representa tion at all. The court will not be a legislative body, it will not be composed of delegates of any particular groups, it will not for mulate its opinions according to the desire of any group. * * * The purpose of the judiciary will be only to define any disputed points of the new constitution, and probably to provide machinery to determine facts relevant to stu dent procedure. It is true that it will formulate its own policies and procedure, but it will not be given the power to legislate. * * * Some matters will undoubtedly be brought before the body as soon as it is organized if for no other reason than to determine any weaknesses in the new con stitution. New parts may seem theoretically practical, but the main worry of the revision com mittee is whether they will ac tually work in practice. * * * There is little room for super fluous details in a constitution, and too much verbosity may cloud the meaning of any clause. Thus the document is expected to be short, clear, and open to interpre tation of the judiciary. Band To Present Concert Sunday Better Than Any Yet Given Is Announcement In a program described as su perior to any it has ever before presented, the University of Ore gon band will appear in its second Sunday afternoon concert, Febru ary 16, at the music auditorium at 4 o’clock. John H. Stehn, leader, will di rect. Friedeman’s “Slavonic Rhapso dy” is the most important num ber, musically, to be played. March selections include the celebrated “Washington Gray’s March” by Grafulla, considered one of the finest Italian marches. Y. National Secretary Due To Arrive Today David R. Porter, national secre tary of the student division of the Y. M. C. A., and Raymond B. Cul ver, student secretary of the northwest division of the associa tion, will arrive on the campus this afternoon to aid in the mem bership drive of the campus Y, and to assist in plans for Inter national week. An open meeting will be held at the Y hut at 4 o’clock, and will be addressed by Mr. Porter. All interested men are urged to at tend the meetiig. Dunn’s Picture Collection Tells Life Story of Lincoln 4 < Pictures showing the life of Lin coln, from the cabin in which he was born to the statues erected after his death, are contained in one of the volumes belonging to Professor F. S. Dunn, Latin in structor and head of the classical department. Collecting pictures of the presi dents is a hobby of Professor Dunn, and he has in his library a fat volume for every president, in which he puts pictures from old and new magazines. This collec tion was first begun in 1900, shortly after Professor Dunn came here to teach. The volume on Lincoln contains reproductions of some of the ear liest authentic pictures and por traits of Lincoln, tracing his life pictorially through his childhood, young manhood, during his life as a country lawyer, his campaigns for the Illinois legislature and presidency of the United States, and through the remainder of his life to his assissination. The book from that point is made up of pic tures of statues of Lincoln by fam ous sculptors. Some of the pictures are repro ductions of newly found old plates which were never struck off. Among these are photographs tak en by Brady, the staff photogra pher for the Civil war, whose pho tographic plgtes were lost during the war and only recently discov ered. “Lincoln wgis a fimiliar figure to my grandfather,” says Profes sor Dunn. “He was often enter tained at the home of my grand parents in Galina, Illinois.” Professor Dunn cites the state ments of Ludwig, the famous Ger man biographer, in a recent issue of the Times: “Lincoln had a strong passion for women; never theless he made a loveless mar riage and was in such a nervous panic that he took refuge in the Illinois hall.” This is quite con trary to the usual idea of Lincoln, who is generally thought to have i been very bashful. Wood Returns From Meeting With Norblad State’s Economic Outlook Deemed Good, Reports Oregon Professor BOARD OF 20 IS PLAN Constructive Policy Made Basic Idea of Slogan For Organization r \ng from Portland where he 'ed at the invitation of Go\ Norblad, a meeting of repi ive citizens of Oregon, Loui, Vood, associate profes sor c |» omics, brings back to the ci ® a report of optimism on the ® >f the delegates as to the fu % conomic welfare of the sta 'o The r, o was the first held in the s ^ ice President Hoo ver’s exa O fa few weeks ago when he together leading industriali — to discuss present questions of the business world, and attempt to find solutions for the problems arising. Mr. Wood says that the meet ing took as its byword for the economic growth of Oregon, the slogan, ‘‘construction in large doses.” Plans were also made at the conference, which was held in the Multnomah hotel, Portland, for the establishment of a permanent advisory board, which will proba bly be composed of 20 members, having representatives from both the University of Oregon and O. S. C. Agricultural, industrial, con tractor, chamber of commerce, and municipal interests will also hold positions on the board. The group will act as a consult ant body for the governor, recom mending changes and advising him generally. Mr. Wood states that it is prob able that the University repre sentative will act as a secretary of the board, handling the material collected by the body. Permeating the whole meeting, according to Wood, was a spirit of optimism as to the economic future of the state, and as each report was made by the different committees, this spirit was strengthened and supported. Plane Lands on Football Field Ship Will Be Displayed At Auto Show An airplane belonging to the Lee Inman school of flying of Eu gene, made a successful landing back of McArthur court yesterday afternoon. It wall be on exhibit at the auto show to be held in the Igloo. The ship, a two-seater mono plane, 21 feet long and with a wing spread of only 32 feet, was built in Eugene under the direc tion of Lee Inman of the flying school by that name. Circling the field several times to take bearings, the pilot dropped down, made a landing and came to a complete stop in less than half the length of the field. “It is powered with a 60-horse power, 5-cylinder Le Blande en gine,” Lee Inman said. "The ship has a cruising speed of 85 miles an hour and a high speed of 102 miles an hour. Its landing speed is about 30 miles an hour. The gas tank holds 30 gallons which is suf ficient fuel for about 500 miles of flying. The engine burns four and a half gallons an hour,” the fly ing instructor smiled. Mr. Inman designs and con structs his own ships, and directs the teaching at his flying school which at the present time has 27 students. Two of them are girls, he said. There is plenty of room for a take-off from the football field, the aviator declared, and he an ticipates no trouble on that score. This particular ship is sold to a Eugene man who had it built to suit his special need for a small ship. It is valued at $3,200. Professor Goes East; Sister Seriously III Prof. James D. Barnett, head of the department of political sci ence, left Tuesday evening for Monmouth, 111., where his sister, who is a teacher at the college there, is critically ill with pneu monia. During his absence of two weeks his classes will be provided with reading sets, which will soon be posted. These readings will take the part of regular class work. Studes Make Odd Request For Libe Books Many curious requests for books come to the circulation desk at the main library. One student came in looking for a certain speech. "I don't know the author or the title," she said, “but I know it commenced with ‘Mr. Presi dent.' ” Another student wanting to read “Twenty Years at Hull House,” asked for “Twenty Years at Hell House.” During the pres entation of the play “The Last of Mrs. Cheyney” someone called for the “Death of Mrs. Cheyney.” A student left her telephone number for volume two of a two volume book of poetry, because it said "paged continuously” in the catalogue. “Black Oxen” was asked for under the name of “The Purple Cow.” M. H. Douglass, librarian, re members when “To Have and to Hold” was popular that someone asked for “Getting to Keep.” Eugene Schools Provide Practice For 88 Students Bossing Directs Classes Under Guidance of Cadet Teachers Supervisors Hold Meetings To Discuss Problems Eighty-eight University stu dents are doing cadet teaching in the schools of Eugene this term, according to Dr. Nelson L. Boss ing, director of supervision for ca det teaching on this campus. Instruction by student teachers in regular academic subjects is being limited to Roosevelt junior high school for the junior high work and to University high for senior division work. Qualified supervisors in these institutions have direct charge over students doing cadet teaching. Few Jobs for Specials Harley A. Notter .principal, is general supervisor at the former school, and Ralph U. Moore, prin cipal, holds the same position at University high school. However, on account of the lack of teaching positions along the line of special subjects, as art, mu sic, and phyiscal education, at these two schools, University stu dents are sent to the various pub lic schools throughout the city for their teaching experience. A record of last term shows that there were six cadet teach ers in art, 21 in music. Six men and 19 women received credit for their work in teaching physical education. Bossing Directs Dr. Bossing is director of super vision and in general charge of cadet teaching activities. His ma jor interest, however, in supervis ion and personal contact is with the academic teachers. It is customary for him to visit the classes under the guidance of student teachers and to hold con ferences with them for the pur pose of aiding them in their work. Every second and fourth Tues day of the month general super visors’ meetings are held to dis cuss the many problems of super vision that arise as well as to con sider the investigations and stud ies reported from other teacher training centers.

Howe Is Recuperating From Goiter Operation H. C. Howe, of the English de partment, is recuperating from a goiter operation which he under went last Friday at the Pacific Christian hospital, Mrs. Howe said yesterday. Plan System For Checking Low Grades Personnel Bureau Pushes Scheme To Raise Low Marks ADVISORS WILL HELP Students Will Be Advised Of Standing After Mid-term Tests Students frequently claim that they failed in their studies be cause they did not know they were low in their work. In view of this, the administration of the University is informing all stu dents with low mid-terms as to their status by means of cards sent to their residences, and the personnel bureau is instigating a plan to help these students if they desire it. “Many small colleges pride themselves,” Dr. W. H. Taylor, di rector of the personnel bureau, said, “on the fact that small class es and enrollment enable them to have a closer personal contact be tween the faculty and the stu dents. But the University of Ore gon, in common with the more progressive large institutions, has endeavored to do the same thing through the faculty advisor sys tem and with the aid of personnel information.” Believes Advisors Can Help “I believe,” he continued, "the advisors on our campus can help students plan their work and lo cate their difficulties by means of the personnel information which we have collected quite as well, or even better, than they could by personal acquaintance in small classes.” Dr. Taylor explained that the mid-term grades of all students for whom the University had a special responsibility were collect ed by the registrar’s office. Under this class come athletes, students using loan funds, both from the school itself and from other spec ial sources, and students on pro bation. • Notices To Be Sent Students in these special class es will receive notices if they have a flunk, a condition, or a V in any subject, and all other students having a flunk, 2 conditions, or 2 V’s will likewise be informed. Blanks are being included with these cards for the benefit of the students. These blanks contain questions on how the student stud ies, how much time he allows for studying, what his general health is, and in what number of campus activities he is engaged. It is thought that by answering these questions himself and then talking the matter over with his advisor, the student may determine where his difficulties lie. Cards To Be Sent Soon Fifty lower division advisors as well as those in major departments and schools have been requested by the personnel bureau to make a special effort to be available to the students whom they are ad vising for the purpose of personal conferences. These opportunities are not re stricted to students Who are hav ing scholastic difficulties. Facul ty advisors, the dean of men, the dean of women, the health ser vice, and the personnel office are always glad to confer with stu dents about any personal prob lems, according to Dr. Taylor. He announced that the cards with low mid-term reports will be sent out tomorrow.
