The Delta Gamma “Collegiana Travelogue,” which went on the air at 8 o’clock, carried the con test fans on a brief tour of Pa cific coast campuses and the Uni versity of Hawaii, and was liber ally interspersed with college songs and collegiate color to carry out the idea. The presentation was directed by Sally Addleman. Jewel Ellis acted as announcer. Kappa Tour Extensive The Kappas gave the radio au dience a more extensive tour, cov ering Europe arid the Orient in their half-hour turn at the micro phone. Betty Cook was steward for the musical tour, which was planned by Constance Baker. Judging from the phone calls received after the broadcast, Doris Helen Patterson, who played sevr eral harp numbers, was the best received of all the Kappa perform ers. In one of the numbers Miss Patterson was accompanied on the violin by her sister, Martha Pat terson. Louise Marvin Featured ■ | The Delta Gamma program w<^! featured by a tap-dance by Louist Marvin, dancing partner of Hal Hatton, who was heard in a simi \ lar number last Tuesday on the Kappa Sigma presentation.

DEFINITION HARD . . . -By OLIVER POLITICUS Awards for participation in sports brings its own problems before the constitutional revision committee with the increase in the number made major last year. The by-laws have set certain col ors and designs for blankets given to athletes, and now it seems that there may be a dearth of colors for each activity. Too, participa tion in intersectional games was considered as important as a whole seaeon of conference play. * * * With intersectional games be ing played regularly every year, two of them last year, those contests have been used to in sure a letter for any player who was on the squad but who would not otherwise have won a let ter. The committee in charge of awards proposed to change that status. * * * They find, too, that important games such as the one with St. Mary’s do not now count at all (Continued on Page Two) Education Group Offers Awards to Outstanding Men Research Fellowship and Scholarship Given by Phi Delta Kappa Three Thousand Dollars Stipend Attached Phi Delta Kappa, national edu cational fraternity, is awarding a research fellowship and a research scholarship for the academic year of 1930-31. Any man in the United States who is permanently devoted to edu cation as a career and who will complete the course requirements for a doctorate during the year is eligible to apply for either award. The awarding of the scholarship and fellowship will be made by the executive committee of Phi Delta Kappa on the basis of value to public education of the research on which the candidate has already started; his standing in education al research; in field of the stu dent’s research and in work for a doctorate of the particular insti tution where the research will be conducted; and finally his standing in educational research. The stipend for the research fel lowship is $2,500 for the academic year and will be paid in two in stallments. Appointment of a first and sec ond alternate will be made, so that the award will be used in case the original candidate would be unable to continue his studies. Applications with references must be sent in to the executive secretary by May 1, 1930. The announcement of the award will be made in early June by the ex ecutive committee. Spanish Club To Give Sketch First of March A sketch taken from “Lazarillo de Tormes,” the first, picturesque novel of Spain, written about 1554 by an unknown author, will be the main feature of the entertainment gi. en by the Spanish club in the Pageant of Nations on Saturday, March 1, the last day of Interna tional week. A Spanish dance by Virginia Moore, and probably Spanish songs will complete the program for the club, according to M. E. Erickson, president. Guild Hall Crowded When Drama Class Gives Plays i. As usual, due to the inadequa cies of the drama department’s lit tle theatre (not a pun) a good many people seeking amusement yesterday afternoon were greeted by the announcement, “no room available/’ tacked on the door of Guild hall. The certainly do turn out for these plays but we’re still ot certain whether the cheapness or the quality attracts them. One of yesterday's plays was good, and one was not so good. “The Eligible Mr. Bangs’’ ran smoothly, with Jewel Ellis out standing. She was very effective as Lucille, and performed with a facility and naturalness that was both refreshing and reassuring. 4 One of her co-workers, Charles Jones, was convincing in his natur i al awkwardness as Mr. Bangs, and the other members of the cast, Verne Elliott, of campus movie fame, and Louise Webber, made a nice background for Miss Ellis’ colorful stage personality. As for “The Very Naked Boy,” the play started with a nice for ward movement, but a snag was apparent a little further on, and the production bumped noticeably the rest of the way in. Dorothy Foss did a nice job as the girl. She had a certain animation and clar ity, but neglected the variety pos sible to the part, both vocally and pantomimically. Harvey Welch started nicely. The snag was his ruin. And as for Ed Crebs, it seems he was a little too uncertain of his part to emote very success fully. Speakers For [International Week Engaged > Gordon Troup, Charles D.

The limit is positively 350 tick ets, Udall says, and none will be sold at the door the evening of the dance. All unsold tickets will be taken up Saturday, after which they will be on sale at the Co-op until the day of the dance. Men who have already pur chased tickets should take them to the Co-op at once and have them punched and receive the in vitations to send the girls. “We wish to emphasize the fact that the ticket sale is paying only a part of the cost of putting on the ball,” Udall said. Only about $700 will come from this source, which is less than half what the dance will cost, it is announced. The balance will be made up by the senior class. Love-Sick Swains Celebrate Death of Good St. Valentine Individual Who Will Unearth Dirt About Historic Originator of Annual Celebration Found; Collegiate Examples Cited ^REATLY desired: Magnani mously inclined individual who will, without aforethought, malice, or compensation, dig into the depths of the deep, dark, muggy, murky past and unearth the origin of St. Valen tine's day. For it really is rath er unseemly for such august be ings as college students to cele brate an occasion such as today with no idea of the why and wherefore. There is one legend available on the origin of Valentine’s day and that is about St. Valentine. Our hero was a Christian in the days of the persecution in Rome, and he was cruelly done to death by means of knives and other sharp instruments ... or maybe he was stoned. At any rate, his disciples in memory of his death determined to celebrate the joy ful (for him) occasion of his entry into paradise by present ing gifts to each other, with fair words and flowers. And so the custom has come down. Now, on February 14, the swains lug a heart-shaped box of candy over to his girl's house, and says "Here." The encyclopedia says a lot of things about this particular date. Right after all the little do-funnies about "Gr.”, “Fr.”, and “L.”, it comes to a point and states that a valentine is a young man or woman be trothed, according to a rural custom, on the first Sunday in Lent, the promise being an nulled if the young man failed to give the young woman a pres ent before micJ-Lent. Many are the tales about the circumven tion of this device for withdraw al. You might, according to the yokels of rural England, give your young man a ribbon, or a bracelet, or something for which a young man would have no use. Admiral Rogers To Take Summer Sessioners North Room on Steamer for 136 People; Total Cost Per Person $145 Sixteen Days To Be Spent On Boat to Alaska In conference with Campbell Church Jr., cruise representative for the University, and the pas senger and traffic managers of J the Alaska and Pacific steamship companies, Alfred E. Powers, dean of the extension division, decided upon the Admiral Rogers, as the ship which will take the mem bers of the summer cruise to Alaska. The Admiral Rogers will sail from Seattle on August 14 and re turn August 26. Accordingly, the part of the summer session which is held on the Oregon campus will be before the Alaskan cruise in stead of afterward, as was the case last year. The Admiral Rogers offers fine accommodations, Dean Powers says, and with two persons to a stateroom offers space for 136. The total cost of the entire sum mer session will be $145, includ ing the special train to Seattle and return, berth and meals on the boat, and post session fees. Over 300 inquiries concerning the summer session tour have al ready been received, and Dean Powers reminds students that many Oregon students were dis appointed last year because they applied too late. Those planning to go should apply at once to the extension division, he says. Courses to be given will in clude: northwest history, art of Alaskan Indians, outdoor sketch ing, magazine writing, anthropol ogy, education, geography, geol ogy, and northwest literature. Frosh To Entertain With Matinee Dance The freshman class v/ill play host to the entire campus Satur day afternoon at a no-date matinee dance in the men’s gym, the sec ond affair to be sponsored by the first year students. Campus clothes will be in order, according to Kenneth McKean, general chairman. Gil Ryder will; be in charge of the floor. George Weber’s orchestra will furnish music for the dance. Ad mission will be 25 cents. ‘Psalms of David’ Put On Display at Library A copy of the privately printed book, “Psalms of the Singer Da vid,’’ a gift to the University from Dr. John Henry Nash, famous San Francisco printer and craftsman, has been put on display in the glass case on the first floor of CSe main library. It is a beautiful book, printed in 1 old gothic type, with blue initials and red titles. The frontispiece i and border were done by Henry Wilke of San Francisco and the ' paper for the book was especially made in Europe. It took ten years 1 of Dr. Nash’s spare time to com-1 plete the work. Soph Committees To Be Announced At Feed Tonight Class To Gather in Big Fest At Men’s Dormitory Tonight at 5:45 Music, Dancing and Dinner Are Features Dancing until 8 o'clock, numbers by a trio composes of “Slug” Pal mer, Marjorie Clark, and Maxine Glover, music by George Weber’s orchestra, and a regular dinner will be a few of the features of the sophomore banquet which will take place at the men’s dormi tory tonight, according to those in charge. One of the most novel features of this affair will be the fact that there will be no * speeches. The only thing in the way of a speech will be the outlining of the activi ties in which the class is to en gage during the remainder of the school year and the announcement by Jack Stipe, sophomore presi dent, of the members of the com mittees which are to be in charge of these events. Menu Announced While the exact decoration scheme has not been revealed, Mary Gray, who is in charge of this phase of the banquet, has an nounced that the motif will ba in keeping with St. Valentine’s day. The menu of the banquet, as disclosed by Jack Edelfsen, gen eral chairman of the event, will be as follows: gelatin fruit salad, roast veal, baked brown potatoes anB gravy, green lima beans, ice cream, and coffee. For those who have not as yet purchased their tickets for the banquet, Walter Evans has an nounced that they will be on sale at the Co-op today. Stipe Speaks Speaking of the banquet, Jack Stipe, soph prexy, said: “It is our hope that every soph omore will be in attendance. We want this affair to be a big get together for the members of the class. We have planned a busy program of activities for the re mainder of the year, and we want the sophomores to get into the spirit of the thing and start these events off with a bang!" Webfoot Star Receives Offer Frcm N. Y, Giants llf'ARSHALL SHIELDS, an al most unanimous choice for all-coast guard last season, has been offered a chance to play with the New York Giants, leading professional football team of the East, during the 1980 season. Shields received a letter from the secretary of the New York athletic company last week and has not determined his plans as yet as he hopes to be reinstated in the Pacific Coast conference. Along with George Christen sen, Austin Colbert, and Johnny Kitzmiller, the Oregon guard has also received offers from the Portsmouth Football asso ciation. 'Doc’ Spears Inaugurates New Work Spring Training To Consist Of Elimination Contests And Games AWARDS TO BE MADE Field Day To Feature Novel Program in Spring; Will Charge Admission When the excitement of the re ception to be tendered Dr. Clar ence W. Spears when he arrives in Eugene has subsided, the men who anticipate playing under the Minnesota doctor are in for a strenuous program. This fact was brought out in a letter received last week by Vir gil D. Earl, director of athletics, in which the new coach set forth his past policies in regard to spring training and stated a pro gram he hoped to be able to in troduce here. Eliminations Held It has been his custom, accord ing to the communication, to di vide his men into teams and leagues and to hold eliminations and games, which will make pos sible a game for a championship. In this manner the actual playing ability of the men is brought out where in less organized spring ses sions, the majority of the work centers around fundamentals. At the close of the series of games, a field day is held at which contests of various sorts are heIG with the idea of bringing to light the talents of the various players which often go unnoticed. These are on the order of contests held at other institutions taking the form of punting and passing for dis tance and accuracy, play analysis, and similar events. Awards Given Men A system of awards has been utilized by Dr. Spears, the winning players being recognized with an award such as a belt buckle. A novel feature of the entire program is that the genial doctor charges admission to his field day and treats his men to a banquet with the proceeds. In the letter Dr. Spears urged that all men who intend to be can didates for his team in the fall, report for this session. He does not discourage his football players from devoting their time to other sports or to legitimate work, but he takes no excuses for his players absenting themselves for no good reason. Oregon Riflemen In Second Place In National Shoot Webfoots Fourth Among Ten-man Teams; Lead Held in East Incomplete returns from last week’s national rifle matches put Oregon in fourth place among the ten-man teams and in second place among the five-man teams, according to Capt. C. H. Bragg, coach of the local squad. Results from six schools have been received, bringing the total number reported up to eight. Three schools are yet to be heard from.

Allen Given First Mention An architectural design, a Small Dairy Farm, by Marie Louise Al len, was given first mention in an exhibit of architectural designs on display this week in the architec ture building. This exhibit is the work of ar chitecture students, and several theses are on display, one being the plan of a proposed world ex position, by Arnold R. SouthwelL University Band Addition to Story Of Ugly Duckling SOMETIMES freckle - faced ° “red-heads” get to l>e beau tiful women, and clumsy pups become graceful wolfhounds, and little corner grocery stores blossom into market palaces. The University of Oregon band Is one more addition to the “ugly duckling" story. Shorn of their brilliant green and yellow uniforms and clad instead in dignified dark suits of the formal music program, the University musicians will emerge Sunday afternoon, play ing, in place of football tunes, good band concert music. The concert will be at the school of music auditorium at 4 o’clock under the auspices of the associated students of the University. There will be no vesper program. Faculty Men Hear North Dakota Man On Social Science Dr. John M. Gillette Tells Of Non-Partisan League Of Own State At a luncheon given at the fac ulty club Wednesday by members of the social science group, Dr. John M. Gillette, professor of so ciology at the University of North Dakota, talked on "The Non-Par tisan League in North Dakota.” In his talk, he traced the history of the movement which grew out of dissatisfaction among the far mers and their desire for cooper atively owned terminal elevators, credit institutions, and a system of taxation which would rest less heavily on improved farm lands. Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, presi dent of the University, also spoke at the luncheon. His topic was “The Necessity for Objective anc Scientific Methods in the Study ol Social Science." Dr. Hall ex pressed the opinion that when so cial science develops a method and technique of the right sort it would become immensely useful in de termining policies of government and international relations. The North Dakota educator left Wednesday evening for southerr California, where he will visit e number of institutions for the re mainder of the school year. Dr Gillette is a very good friend ol Jesse H. Bond, professor in per sonnel management, and James M Reinhardt, assistant professor ol sociology.

Quint Tonight Oregon To Open Northern Campaign at Pullman In Fourth Place COUGARS ARE SECOND Oregon State - Idaho Game Will Bring Change in Conference Ratings Tonight the Webfoot basketball team will open its northern cam paign in a game against the Washington State Cougars at Pullman, Washington. At present the series of four games between tonight’s oppon ents is even up, the Oregon team having won the first game at Mc Arthur court and the Washington State aggregation scoring a win in the second. Beavers Play Idaho Conference standings are due for a change after tonight as there will be two games taking place, the Oregon State Beavers having a game with Idaho at Moscow. Washington State is in second place in the conference at the present time, closely followed by Oregon State and Oregon in the order named. In their game the Beavers are apt to meet with some stiff opposition as the Vandals are out to win, having been toppled from second place in the league by losses to Washington. Oregon’s Chances Good If Idaho should defeat the Ore gon State team and Oregon should win against the Cougars, anything might be expected. At any rate the Webfoot chances are as good on this campaign as at any time thus far in the conference race. At the last minute yesterday, Billy Reinhart decided to take Ray Bell with his team to the north. With the addition of Bell he has a squad of 11 rnen to pick his starting five from, and his first team should line up as fol lows: Keenan and Levoff, for wards: Eberhart, center; and Hor ner and Olinger, guards. Students Work Ornament Pieces For Arts Museum Byzantine Style Lunettes Will Adorn Court of Memorial Building Emulating the best traditions 1 in art, students of sculpture are busily engaged in creating orna i mental pieces for the Prince L. Campbell memorial ait museum, now under construction. Rex Sorensen is assisting Oliver L. Barrett, instructor in the school ' of architecture and allied arts, in the modeling of Byzantine style lunettes which will be placed in the Memorial, court. Rosa Co 1 stantino, Margaret Drescher, Georgia Lou Miller, and Richard Guske are engaged in sculpturing capitals and other pieces, also for the Memorial court. The pieces which the students are working on were designed by ■ Richard W. Bock, professor of sculpture. Commending the students’ work, l Mr. Bock said that it is in keep ing with the best traditions and • practices of art that those identi ■ fled with a building under con struction should participate in its execution. Beautitul New Automobiles Greet Folks at McArthur By HENRY LUMPEE TnBten.fi of the shout of a has- I When vou have e-one this far vou niSLcau ui uic duuuv, ui a uoa ketball crowd, the sound of music and a low hum of conversation will greet you when you push open the door of McArthur court today or tomorrow (and would have yesterday, too). Directly facing yo uwill be an oil well, pumping real oil; engines working, pulleys revolving and all. On your left an airplane beacon flashes around and around on top of Its derrick. The framework is illuminated with cryptic red neon letters. It is the beacon on top of Mount Diablo, ill California. On your right you will see "Miss Bebe." She is an airplane and was born in Eugene. The men there will tell you that she really flies and isn’t very old, either. She does use a lot of red and white paint, though. »Y UCU JTUU UQVC guuc IUU Ad* JWU will have discovered (maybe even before) that the oil well and the beacon are miniatures, but that Miss Bebe is life-sized. Then, besides other interesting exhibits, since this is the only large automobile show to be held in Oregon this year, there are many automobiles. The arena la quite crowded with them, and since they are all beautiful and very new, they will probably give you a thrill or make you mad. There are several jobs that should set the collegiate heart pounding, having rumble seats behind, head lights as big as barrels, and then there are other automobiles that would add dignity to any formal. All the shiny new paint sets up much glitter under the thorough decorations.
