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.

Col. 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.

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.

HERE’S WHY THE WOMEN’S PAGE ARRESTS THE
COLLEGE WOMAN’S ATTENTION:
The Women’s Page is edited by women who know what college
women like to read. 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
