Women are creating vogues in sports, such as' the one of playing basketball on skates. This new novelty has added more speed to the game which accounts for its popularity in the Middlewest. Although women may excell in one form of sport, they try a hand at many.

OREGON SCHOOLS’ FATE RESTS IN UNCERTAINTY (Continued from Page One) open, they must do reasonably ef ficient work,” Chancellor Kerr stated. Here, briefed, are the figures on income and enrollment: Biennium 1929-30 — $9,439,336, with 8772 enrollment. Biennium 1931-21 — $7,411,773, of which $1,181,000 was lost by ve to and referendum, with 7,375 en rollment. Biennium 1933-34 — Estimated $6,426,944, or a deduction of 31.9 per cent under 1929-30, with esti mated enrollment of 6760, or a re duction of 25 per cent under 1920 30. But there are two proposals made at Salem, and it is these that are worrying board members. The budget director recommends an income for the 1933-34 bienni um of $6,118,046, which is a reduc tion of 35.1 per cent under normal. The ways and means committee recommends the proposal of fur ther reductions, an income for this same 1933-34 biennium of $5,118, 046. This is a reduction of 45.8 per cent under the 1929-30 normal. It is one that board members say the schools cannot stand without being crippled in such fashion that 15— perhaps more—years would be needed to rebuild the higher educa tional system. That is the situation, as outlined by members of the board of higher education, who are now preparing a formal statement for presenta tion to the public and members of the legislature. That is why, they say, higher education in Oregon stands now at the crossroads. Dr. Sherman W.

J Secrets of Motor Board Selections Bared at Last By ANN-REED BURNS At the Junior week-end lunch eon, when most of the University of Oregon can be found wandering around on some part of the cam pus, a group of women in caps and gowns come down the walk, threading their way through tho crowd towards certain junior wo men, to each of whom they give a small rosebud and a ribbon. It is the pledging of Mortar Board. Those who receive the rose buds are the outstanding junior women, and members-to-be. Mortar Board is a national sen ior honorary society for women, founded at Syracuse, New York, "Oh! I thought you were Mr. Jones” It’s a bad moment-—when you realize you’ve spoken to someone you don’t know. Everybody makes mistakes, , of course, but no matter how much poise you have, you feel a bit silly anyhow. The chances are you didn’t know Mr. Jones really well —or you’d never have made the blunder. You’ve never seen anyone you’d actually mistake for your brother or sister or husband or wife, have you? It’s casual acquain tance that leads to errors. People look alike; so do razor strops and flower seeds and hats and pianos. If you want to buy a Jones hat and you know all there is to know about a Jones hat, you’re not likely to blunder and get some other hat. The same is true for a Jones piano or a Jones razor strop. The easiest way to know everything there is to know about such things is to read advertising. The advertise ments in THE OREGON DAILY EMERALD are here to tell you quickly and truthfully the main facts about the things you buy and use. They are here to prevent you from making mistakes. Mistakes that may be costly. X READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS FAITHFULLY THEY WILL REPAY THE TIME “Influencing 3,500 Moderns"' ; in 1918. The local chapter was in stalled in 1923. Women are cho sen for Mortar Board on the ba sis of service, scholarship, and leadership. In order to be elected to Mortar Board, a woman must have a grade average of at least .3 points above all-campus average for the pre ceding term. At present that means she must have an average of at least 1.0. The women selected for Mortar Board have been prominent in ac tivities for three years. Emphasis is placed not on the spectacular or the number of times one's name appears in the Emerald, but rather Phi Psi and Phi Mu Schedule Dances Phi Kappa Psi winter formal will be held Saturday evening at the chapter house. Red and green flood lights will decorate the rooms, and the programs will be of metal in silver and gold. Don Thompson and Bob Emmens are in charge of arrangements. Patrons and patronesses for the affair are Mr. and Mrs. W. F. G. Thacher, Mr. and Mrs. James Harding, Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Chambers. Phi Mu sorority will entertain Saturday evening with a radio dance at the chapter house. Flow ers will decorate the rooms, and Lucy Ann Wendell is in charge. Patronesses for the dance are Miss Sue Badollet, Mrs. Alberta Powell, and Mrs. Jeannette Lange. on the real value of tne work done, on the service one has given. The choosing of members for Mortar Board goes through a great many hands. The junior wo men choose 15 of their number whom they consider the most out standing. Then the active mem bers of Mortar Board, with the ap proval of a committee consisting of Dean Hazel Schwering, Mrs. Al ice Macduff, and Mfs. Margaret E. Norton, make the final selection. Each year at least five seniors and not more than 20 must be elected. The choice of Mortar Board is a secret, no one knowing what girls are to be honored until the rosebuds are handed to them at the Junior week-end luncheon. So, if you wish to attain one of the highest honors the University can offer, keep your scholarship high; and, as a last word, remem ber that it's not the "I'm-promi nent-and-popular” type of woman that succeeds—it is the one who is quiet and effective. The Mortar Board woman is the all-around girl. Engagement Told The engagement of Miss Eliza beth Wilmot to Victor Phelps was announced last week-end at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Wilmot. The announcement was made by miniature clocks. Miss Wilmot attends Oregon State col lege, and Victor Phelps is a senior at Oregon. ..1, ■ i" =u Pan-Hellenic Lays Tentative Plans For Coming Term Members of the local Pan-Hel lenic society, at a meeting at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon in Johnson hall, decided upon a con structive program for fraternity education. All plans, however, are not yet ready for publication, ac cording to Geraldine Hick9on, president of Pan-Hellenic. It has been decided definitely, however, to write all the stores in Portland who have employed during the summer or during va cations University of Oregon girls as advisors to freshmen buying clothes for college, asking these stores not to advertise the sorority affiliation of the girls who are em ployed by them, and suggesting that the stores emphasize school, sport, and campus clothes, more than formal and evening, dress, Pan-Hellenic will also sponsor a banquet spring term, honoring each freshman who has obtained, the highest grade average in her living organization fbr the pre ceding terms. The Pan - Hellenic short - time loan fund, which was initiated last year by Pan-Hellenic’s dona tion of $120 towards student loans, is being continued this year. BOARD WANTS DEFINITE PLAN OF BUDGET SLASH (Continued from Page One) ennium. He said such a course would make it incumbent upon the board to eliminate various educa tional activities. Senator Woodward said he fa vored reinstatement of appropri ations aggregating more than $300,000 for extension work and the operation of experiment sta tions in connection with the higher educational institutions. He suggested that the reductions be made from the millage tax or some source other than cutting off the continuing appropriations. The state budget director dis approved the continuing appropri ations for extension work and ex periment stations and suggested that the cost of conducting these activities be absorbed by the mill age tax.
