The first reports of the sub ^ committees on the various divi sions of the constitution will be submitted to the central supervis ing committee, consisting of Stod dard, Horn, and Ron Hubbs, for approval.

The ban quet was unusual in that no speeches were given, the program being given over to dancing fol lowing the banquet. A trio composed of “Slug” Pal mer, Marjorie Clarke, and Maxine Glover with music by George Web er’s orchestra, furnished enter tainment for the evening. The menu consisted of gelatin fruit salad, roast veal, baked brown potatoes and gravy, green lima beans, ice cream, and coffee. About 175, according to Walter Evans, ticket chairman, attended the sophomore affair. Dean and Mrs. Straub were guests at the banquet. If the members of the class agree, similar events will be held in the near future, Jack Stipe, ^ class president, announced. Oregon Rifle Team W inner Over Easton Oregon rifle team won over La fayette college, Easton, Pennsyl vania, by a margin of 137 points, according to information received yesterday by Captain C. H. Bragg, coach of the local squad. The Lafayette riflers made a score of 3.387 points, as compared with 3,524 points, Oregon’s total. Tlic MoDiiMjj Fimcjer -0 ATIILETI CAWARDS . . .

If the committee does change back to the present sta us, it is more than unlikely tha politics will not gain a firmer hold in class officialdom. Candi dates for minor executive posi tions will have to align them selves with student presidential parties, and class offices will become, it seems certain, but pawns in the larger game. As long as the class elections are separated by one or two weeks from the regular student elections, then the year-ballots will to some extent be based on the ability and organization of the individual can didate. When the two dates for balloting are combined men and women may be carried into office on the “promises of support” of (Continued on Page Four) Band Selections For Tomorrow’s Concert Picked Program To Take Place of Regular Sunday Vesper Services, 4:30 P. M. ‘Martha’ Said Interesting Number on List A large student audience is an ticipated for the second Sunday afternoon concert to be given by the University of Oregon band, under the auspices of the associat ed students of the University, to morrow afternoon at 4 o’clock. The concert will take the place of the regular vespers services. Program Announced Idolizer’s march . Corey “Martha” overture . Flotow Selections from “Naughty Mar ietta” . Victor Herbert Adoration . Borowski Slavonic Rhapsody .Friedeman Washington Gray’s March . . Grafulla “Martha” Outstanding Number “Martha” is considered one of the two most interesting compo sitions of the German musician, Frederich Flotow, who lived dur ing the 19th century, writing the opera “Martha” in 1848. The Friedeman rhapsody and Borow ski’s “Adoration” are considered the most important numbers, mu sically, on the program. Dr. Milne To Teach At Minnesota Session Dr. W. E. Milne, mathematics professor, will teach at the Uni versity of Minnesota at Minneap olis during the summer session there, he announced yesterday. Dr. Milne will teach calculus and differential equations. Student Interest World-Wide ******** Spirit Is International, Says Voyager Living in eight different coun tries and speaking fluently four •4 different languages are but two of the many interesting things that Henrietta Thomson, interna tional relations secretary of the Y. W. C. A., has done since she was a child. “I have always traveled in Eur ope,’’ she said, “and this is prob ably due to the fact that my fath er was a literary man and was connected with Roberts college— an American institution in Con stantinople in the Bosporus.” Miss Thomson speaks Chinese, Bulgarian, French, and English, and she did speak Turkestan, Greek and Armenian, although she has forgotten them now since ^ she has not lived in those coun tries recently. She went to col lege in Geneva, Switzerland, and later to Columbia university, New York, where she finished her aca demic courses. Throughout her many trips, Miss Thomson declares she is always inevitably interested in the stu dents of the rest of the world be cause she has grown up with so many of them. “There is a great streak of similarity and solidarity among all students,” she remark ed, “and the first thing they ask is for me to tell them about stu dents of other lands.” Miss Thomson has just returned from a trip all over Europe, where she came face to face with the disastrous situation among the Bulgarian students. On re turning to the United States, how ever, she felt that the students are more vitally interested in each (Continued on Page Three) Students Live On $5 a Month Visitor States Y.W. W orker Tells Oregon Group of Living Cost In Bulgaria WAR RUINS COUNTRY Campus May Contribute to Fund To Bring Aid to Balkan College Conditions of college students in ulgaria were outlined by Miss Henrietta Thomson to a group of students representing various or ganizations on the campus at a luncheon given in her honor at Westminster house yesterday noon. ! Miss Thomson is secretary of the international student service of the Y. W. C. A., and spent the past summer in various countries of Europe. During this tour she made a visit to Bulgaria, and had the opportunity of gaining first hand information on conditions as they really were. Privations Told The minimum amount on which it is possible for a student in Bul garia to live with a reasonable de gree of comfort is $20 a month, according to Miss Thomson. Many of the students, however, are struggling along on $11 a month, and some are existing on as little as $5. The living conditions of the stu dents are very unfavorable, ac cording to Miss Thomson. Many of them are living in musty gar rets or damp cellars, or in small rooms with 15 or so crowded to gether. Due to these conditions the rate of tuberculosis among students has increased from 30 per cent to 52 per cent, she says. Situation Pictured Many of the students are exist ing on one meal a day, and some of them have only one meal every two days, Miss Thomson brought out. The speaker pictured the situa tion of the country itself to the students. “Crippled by the war, with her markets cut off, the country takes advantage of the one opportunity it has left to bet ter itself, and that is education,” Miss Thomson said. One campus group has already voted aid for the Bulgarian stu dents, and other groups have plans under consideration for giving aid. The senior class has already voted to contribute $25, and it is planned to donate the profits of the fresh man all-campus dance this after noon to the cause, according to Lawrence Bay, freshman presi dent. Stoddard Presides Tom Stoddard, president of the A. S. U. O., presided at the meet ing and introduced the speaker. He also gave a short talk, urging those present to carry to their or ganizations the idea of cooperat ing in the project. Stoddard men tioned the discussion of the mat ter which he heard at a recent meeting of student body presi dents at Stanford university. Among those who represented organizations were: Bernice Wood ard, Kwama; Adele Wedemeyer, Thespian; Karl Greve, Oregon Knights; Max Adams, Y. M. C. A.; Dorothy Thomas, Y. W. C. A.; Eleanor Poorman, senior class; Jack Stipe, sophomore class; Law rence Bay, freshman class; Eve lyn Kjosness, Phi Theta Upsilon. Virginia Judy Esterly, dean of women; Hugh Biggs, dean of men, were also present. Gracia Hag gerty was in charge of the lunch eon. Honors Work May Be Based Only on Marks The general honors regulation, rules of which were not settled at the meeting of the honors coun cil last Tuesday, will require a special meeting of the council in about a week, according to Dr. C. V. Boyer, head of the English de partment. At the meeting on Tuesday, a plan was discussed and favored whereby the names of those auto matically eligible to honors work at the end of their sophomore year would not depend on their being among the highest 30 per cent, but upon having specified grades. The average has now been changed to a 2.9 standing for men, and a 2.5 standing for women. Indian of W est Memorialized The true spirit of the West is depicted in this statue, “The Indian,” the model of which was recently completed by Oliver Laurence Barrett, sculptor at the University of Oregon. Mr. Bar rett is fast becoming famous for his work on western subjects, one of which, “Paul Bunyan and the Blue Ox,,” is especially praised by both critics and laymen. Second Literary Magazine Will Appear cn Campus Soon, Emerald Learns; Will Be Called 'Pariah9 TT never rains, but it pours. A After several years of literary sterility, the Oregon campus has this year taken a new life and interest in the publication of literary magazines. Rumors are broadcast in coffee houses that a new magazine is to appear on the writing horizon in a short time. The Emerald has Frosh taking both by scores of 31 to 21, and 25 to 15. In their final appearance of the season, however, the Frosh showed nothing but a complete reversal of the form which had enabled them to pro gress through a tough schedule undefeated and lost the final game to the Black and Orange first year team. Where in former games the Lemon and Green first year team had shown almsot phenomenal checking and a strong offense, both elements seemed lacking in their final game. Cap Roberts, who has been a major cog in the Frosh scoring combination, was ruled out on personal foul3 early in the contest and as George Beechler, his usual substitute, had been suffering from blood poison ing, the position was materially weakened. Lewis Gets Away This loss was the start of the yearling team’s downfall. During the game almost everyone on the Oregon team had a chance to jump the lanky Lewis at center, a task which no one with the exception of the lost Roberts was able to handle. This same Lewis, who in former games had yielded to the check ing of Don Siegmund, got away frequently and consistently, and finished the game with 15 points and high point honors. Notwithstanding the fact that it lost its final game the Frosh team had a very successful season un der Prink Callison.

The conference is a new idea, and is attended by representatives from six colleges, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington State, Califor nia, Stanford, and Southern Cali fornia, Miss Calkins said on her return. “It is made up of the officials of the graduate magazines of the six colleges, and has the improve ment of the publications as its aim. We had speakers who were experts on engraving, printing, art work, and paper. “The organization will enable the member magazines to sell ad vertising space as a unit. A large manufacturer will find it more worth while to buy advertising from the magazines, when he con siders their combined circulation.” The two Old Oregon officials also attended a meeting of the ninth district of the American Alumni conference, which was held on the St. Mary’s campus, just outside of Oakland, Saturday, Feb ruary 9. Miss Calkins remarked about the beauty of the campus of the southern institution. “While at the two conferences we were given lots of new ideas, and we are going to try some of them out next fall, when we aren't so rushed with special editions,” Miss Calkins said. Old Oregon of ficials are planning a directory number to be issued this spring. Drama by Capec To Be Given Here By Olsen Players Three Performances Are On Schedule for Stay In Eugene The Moroni Olsen Players are presenting “The Makropoulos Se cret," a drama written by Karel Capec, Monday, February 17, at the Heilig theater. In the cast will be the follow ing: Moroni Olsen, Janet Young, Dorothy Adams, Leora Thatcher, Joseph Williams, Sumner Chase Cobb, Franklin Rasmussen, and Byron Kay Foulger. It is said that Janet Young does her most radiant work as the mys terious woman who lived 399 years. The play is said to require intense imagination, but it is ex tremely modern in aspect. Rife Length Lengthened “The Makropoulos Secret” deals in a fantastic, realistic way with the question of prolonged human life, extended far beyond the nat ( Continued on J,a(je Three) Potwin Wins State Enterprise Speaking Contest According to reports received late last night, Arthur I'otwin, a member of the University of Oregon debate team, has been acclaimed winner of the state extemporaneous speaking con test. Details of the contest have not ls*en received. Potwin was a member of the team of three which faced the University of Hawaii here re cently.

Norton Gets Requests For Entertainers Programs Come to Public Notice Through Radio Broadcast Hours GROUPS MENTIONED Fifteen More Houses Are On Emerald-KORE Contest List By STERLING GREEN The wealth of musical talent re vealed in programs sponsored by campus living groups in the Em erald-KORE radio contest, is al ready bringing rewards to several of the houses who have competed, in the form of offers to appear at entertainments of the Elks club, the American Legion, and several other Eugene organizations, it was announced yesterday by Fred Nor ton, contest director. Request Entertainers Norton reports that a number of persons have called him to re quest the names of various indi vidual performers whom they have heard, and to inquire whether they would be available for private en tertainmehts. In many instances, Norton says, those calling have asked him to give them the names of those musicians whom he con sidered best, in which case he has referred them to four of five of the houses which, in his opinion, gave programs best suited for stage presentation. Fifteen Houses on List During the next two weeks be fore the contest comes to a close, 15 houses must face the KORE microphone. It will probably be some time during the week follow ing, Norton reports, that the win ner of the 9-tube Majestic cabinet radio 3et offered by McMorran and Washburne will be announced. At the same time awards will be made of the two beautiful sil ver trophy cups, which are now on display in the Co-op, and are offered by Paul D. Green and the Buster Brown Shoe store for win ner among the men’s groups and the women's houses respectively. Theta Chi Scheduled Theta Chi will open the fifth week’s broadcast series next Tues day at 8 o’clock with an offering tentatively entitled “Rehearsal Night,” directed by Myron Griffin. It will be followed at 8:30 by Friendly hall in a musical presen tation arranged by Clarence Craw and Bob Maxwell. The remainder of the week’s programs will come in the order following: Wednesday, Feb. 19, at 8—Al pha Gamma Delta; at 8:30, Zeta Tau Alpha. Thursday, Feb. 20, at 8—Alpha Phi; at 8:30, Sigma Alpha Mu. Movie Fan Makes Campus Pictures Kellog Representative Is Cinema Devotee The representative of the Kel logg- company for the Oregon, Washington, and Idaho territory, Louis S. Cozzetti, makes a hobby of taking motion pictures during his spare time. Several pictures of last year’s football games, scenes from the last frosh parade, and pictures of persons prominent on the campus were taken. Mr. Cozzetti has many scenes taken from the Oregon, O. S. C., and Washington campuses. The latest addition to his col lection is the film taken last Sun day of Dorothy Teepe, Bernice Woodard, Wilma Enke, and Har riet Medernach riding over the campus on bicycles. These pic tures were later shown at the Al pha Phi house of which these stu dents are members. Tuesday night, Mr. Cozzetti showed at the Phi Delt house var ied views taken on the campus, scenes from the Columbia River highway, scenes of Portland and Rainier National park. Mr. Cozzetti makes his head quarters in Seattle but he is often a visitor on the campus. He is glad at any time to show these pictures to any group which is in terested. Three Points Give Cougars Edge Over Oregon Hoop Men Social Use of Old Library is Losing Ground A S a place of social contact the main library Is being used less and less each year, according to M. H. Douglass, librarian. Ten years ago everything was centered at the library, stu dents came to meet their friends there, make dates or finish conversations started on the day before. With the va rious libraries scattered In Con don hall, the law school, the art building, and the main li brary, the lonely student has quite a hunt before he can find his friends. Only one student this year, a girl, was deprived of library privileges for greet ing her friends too cordially and to the annoyance of other read ers. Freshman Dance Proceeds Slated For Relief Fund Bay Announces Proceeds From Affair Will Go To Bulgarians ‘No Dale’ Hop To Take Place at Men’s Gym The frosh matinee dance, set for today, at the men's gym, took on a new importance yesterday af ternoon when Larry Bay, prexy for the yearlings announced that all proceeds will go to the relief of Bulgarian students.

A last-minute rally by the visitors fell short, but put some spice in an otherwise ragged game. Stevens, guard, with ten points, and Keenan with six led the Oregon attack. McClar ney, sensational W. S. C. sopho more, was high scorer of the game with 11 counters. Duckley and Holsten, forwards, each tallied seven for the Cougars.

Oregon Heat Dries Out Museum’s Walls The Prince L. Campbell memor ial art museum, now under con struction, has been connected with the University heating system, in order that the building may be completely dried out before being plastered. Workmen have started putting on the metal laths which serve as a foundation for the plas ter. Concrete for the main entrance was poured yesterday. Prowler Terrorizes Women ******** Shots, Screams Break Campus Calm Four shots at midnight! And in a cemetery. A woman’s scream! And running feet! A man in yel low slicker and black hat running across the campus! A mystery, or a hallucination? Campus girls think it no hallucination and no joke. Thursday night at 7:30 a girl was walking from the Music au ditorium to the hall, when she was approached by a man in a yellow slicker and a black hat pulled suspiciously over his eyes. His arms were folded. When the two passed he attacked her, so goes the report. She screamed; the strange man turned and fled across the campus. Invades Showers At 9:30 the second episode in the mysterious chain of events took place unexpectedly. The stranger walked into the shower room in Gerlinger hall, where a I girl was taking a shower. She screamed, and two or three other girls rushed to her assistance. A man waiting outside the door chased the intruder, but to no avail. At 10 came the third of the ter rorizing events. The man with the slicker and the black hat was said to have been caught looking into the reading room of Susan Camp bell hall. The ensuing commotion frightened the man away. At 11 o’clock four girls were playing bridge on the second floor of the hall in a room facing Ger linger hall. They were startled by four pistol shots, presumably from the cemetery, although sounding far away. Screams In Dark The nerve-racked girls, no longer able to stand the appalling suspense, called the police, but the (Continued on Page Two)
