Conference Ends Session Students Contribute; Turnbull Re-elected Closing the three-day meet, the Oregon State Press conference climaxed its eighteenth annual ses sion Saturday at a no-host lunch eon at the men’s dormitory, at which Lars E. Blandine, publisher of the McMinnville Telephone Register, which won the Sigma Delta Chi trophy, was elected pres ident for next year’s conference. George S. Turnbull, of the Univer sity journalism faculty, was again chosen secretary. At the luncheon Robert W. Ruhl, retiring president of the Oregon Press conference and Pultizer prize winner, presided at the election of the new officers. Then with Robert Lucas, editor of the Emerald, as toastmaster, “Major Blows’ Ama teur Hour” was presented. Robert Cathey panicked the group with illustrated charts de and his three-cornered hat on his Newspaper.” Elbert Bede, publish er of the Cottage Grove Sentinel, was asked to speak, appropriately enough, on “cottage cheese,” which he treated in a rather impromptu manner. Members of the Emerald staff who contirbuted freely to the “go ings-on” were Henriette Horak, Clair Johnson, Marge Petsch, Tex Thomason, and Bob Moore. Fred Colvig, with hand in his coat-front and his thre-cornered hat on his head, was asked to recite Napol eon's farewell to his troops. Farewell Troops! He started auspiciously, “Fare well, troops ” Bong! And another amateur was gonged. And thus ended the eighteenth Oregon Press conference. WPA Installing Steam Tunnel Campus Heating Plant Will Be Completed Excavations going on in front of Friendly hall and on the east side of Johnson hall are part of WPA project number 44f>, which will be working for an indefinite period installing a section of steam tunnel from Thirteenth street directly south toward Gerlinger hall for about 300 feet. At present the University steam tunnel system consists of one main branch from the heating plant, around the architecture building and up in front of McClure and Friendly to Thirteenth. There is also a section of tunnel from Ger linger hall to within 300 feet of the main line. The new’ tunnel to be installed by WPA wil connect the two pieces and make one direct line from the heating plant to Gerlinger. At present the distance is connected by pipe line. A second tunnel, from the heat ing plant to Fourteenth street, along the alley east of University street, has been under way for some time. At present work is progressing slowly as excavation is being made through solid rock. A Jack hammer has been used to break up the stone. This tunnel should be finished in about six months. Tt is also being done as WPA work. When these new’ steam tunnels are completed, the University will have a much more complete heating system, which will be ahle to give service to the new’ buildings. Sea I Trcliins Found on Trip Sea urchins funny little echin oidean eehinoderms similar to star fish were obtained in plenty by Profs. Huestis and Alderman of the zoology department on their trip to Newport last Sunday. The sea urchins will he used in zoology laboratories, and the cell division of the eggs will be studied. To obtain the eggs, the sea urchins must be cracked open. They are variously shaped, and have a shell bearing numerous movable purple spines about an inch long. They live buried in the sand among the rocks anil on the sea bottom. When the specimens were brought to the University, they were placed in a tub of ocean water in order to keep them alive. Great fires sometimes create clouds, and enough rain to extin guish the blaze. Subscription rates ?2.r>0 a year.

Leader Remembers King as rRegular Fellow9 A wisp of the gloom that the death of King George brought last night into the hearts of the four hundred million subjects of the British crown invaded the Univer sity in the reminiscences of Colonel John Leader, that amiable Briton who has returned for a brief visit to the campus, where his exploits as wartime commandant of the University ROTC unit have become almost legendary. King George was Duke of York when Colonel Leader met him in Dublin before the Boer war—the colonel won’t say how long before. “It would date me,” he explained, “and then what would all these coeds think?” “King George was what you would call a regular fellow,” de clared Colonel Loader. “He was a good horseman, played all sorts of games a regular fellow! He used to say that if it weren’t for his bad stomach he would drink all the whiskey he could lay his hands on. And then he would point to his red nose and blame it for his reputation as a heavy drinker. “Edgar Piper was a man who really knew what a good fellow the king was. You know Piper he was the great editor of your Oregonian during the war and af ter. Piper used to tell me of the time when he, among ten or so editors of the leading papers of the United States, visited King George at Sandringham. They didn't know what to wear, but they finally decided to get themselves up in frock coats and silk hats. "When they reached Sandring ham station they saw several lim ousines drawn up to take them to the palace. And off to the side there was a little horse-drawn cart with a little runt of a man in a shabby tweed suit mounted on top of it. “The little man called out to the group of editors: ‘If any of you would care to ride up with me T think you will be able to see more of the country.' “ ‘And who in hell might you be?’ asked Piper. “‘I'm the king,’ the little man) said. “Piper rode with him. He told me of the conversation they had. They were driving along toward the palace and Piper in good hu mor proposed: ‘I’ll tell what. We editors represented the six leading Republican papers and the four leading Democratic papers. You I come over to America and we'll; elect you president by aeclama- j tion.’ "And the kind replied: *A fine idea, my dear Piper. I'm the only I anti-monarchist in England, and they won’t give me a vote!" Colonel Leader suddenly asked j the date. Apprised that it was January 20. he exclaimed: “The twentieth! The old queen, Victo ria, died on the twenty-first of January. I was made a captain on the twentieth.” Colonel Leader plans to speak before the class in editing at the school of journalism Wednesday morning on a subject concerning the King of England, the Prince of Wales, and the constitutional procedure of royal succession in England.

Phi Sig Fines Still Out Since Fenwick has expressed the willingness of his fraternity to ac cept the decision, of the original group of houses fined for dirty rushing, only Phi Sigma Kappa has not paid or signified intention to pay. Phi Sigma Kappa’s fines totaled $15. Bill Corman, newly-elected presi dent, had made no statement of his fraternity’s intentions late yes-1 terday, but indicated that he had been working on a plan to simplify rushing rules and improve rushing conditions which may be submitted to the council. Past President A1 Whittle of Phi Sigma Kappa stated last term that his house would pay when others did. Case Parallels Stanford Situation The Sigma Nu council case has closely paralleled an altercation between the Sigma Chi fraternity and the interfraternity group on the Stanford campus. The Stanford chapter of Sigma Chi was forced to forfeit rushing privileges for one year because of violations of the rushing rules. The penalty has since been reduced to permit rushing but prohibits pledging.

Use Emerald Classified Ads For Results Stella Scurlock Speaks to YWCA Council Members YW Secretary Believes In Doctrine of Goodness Her eyes sparkling, Stella Scur lock spoke to YWCA council mem bers last night on seeking and finding a satisfactory life through the religion of doing good at their second meeting of winter term at the home of Betty Hughes and Dorothy Nyland. Miss Scurlock is northwestern regional secretary of the YWCA, is a graduate of the University of Arkansas, and was once head of the English department of Cres cent college in Eureka Springs. Miss Scurlock will be at the University until Friday night. Up to that time she plans to hold con ferences with the girls in groups and singly. Her main reason for being on the campus she says is three-fold: because Ruth Weber is editor of the Seabeck magazine, “Seabeck and Seabreezes”; because Mary Nelson is campus chairman of the international relations group; and because she wants to help the Uni versity of Oregon YWCA cabinet correlate its work with national activities and plans.

It contains feature articles and criticisms on questions pertinent to the interests of the college woman. To the advertisers, it offers free writeups in the feature column “Promenading With Polly.’’ A new feature just added to the women’s page, “Co-ed's Corner," is certain to be favorably accepted by college women.
