Auto Tire Flops; Professor Black Gallops to Class When Professor F. G. Black hadn’t appeared at his 9 o'clock survey of English literature class by 9:05, a few of his stu dents, curious, went out of the Oregon building to investigate. There was the professor on Thirteenth street just opposite the infirmary. He was galloping in the general direction of the Oregon building, one hand pull ing down his hat, the other drag ging along a little green sack (brief case substitute I, his grey overcoat waving behind him. Professor Black came paint ing into the classroom, mounted the underslung platform up front, and laughingly inquired, “Which one of you is responsible for my flat time?” Athletic Board Interprets Rules Glass Backboards Cause Overdraft On Monthly Budget Mostly concerned with the inter pretation of the new Pacific coast conference rules affecting- confer ence athletic competition, the ath letic board spent four solid hours Monday night working its way through its regular monthly docket. The meeting opened with a study of the monthly financial report, the regular comparison of the original with the revised budget, both com pared with disbui’sements to date. The report showed that as a rule allotments are running according to schedule. The one exception was in the case of McArthur court, where the unpredictable expense of installing new glass backboards had crossed up budget planners, causing an apparent overdraft. The overdraft was covered by emer gency funds, by board motion. Thumbs Down Two construction possibilities went down in defeat, one for a 10 foot wooden fence for a football practice field and the other for a WPA project to give McArthur court a full basement instead of the present half. Feeling of the board was that no new heavy expenditure should be undertaken at this time. Dr. Will V. Norris, University technical adviser, explained the technical aspects of both projects. Main reason for the calling of the meeting was to hear a report of a subcommittee appointed at the last previous meeting expressly to consider the interpretation of the new conference rules affecting proselyting of athletes. Members of the group were Roland Davis, Portland, Dean Ralph Leighton, and John Dick, ASUO president. That Man Again The report of the group recom mended further study and asked that specific points be suggested for investigation. It was established in the report that almost all former practices prevalent throughout the conference were outlawed by the new code, which is enforced by $10,000-a-year 'Ex-G-man Edwin Atherton. The study will be con tinued and another report rendered at the next meeting. The meeting marked the first ap pearance on the athletic board of Orlando John Hollis, newly ap pointed successor to Professor H. C. Howe. Professor Howe re signed last week from his post as faculty representative from the University of Oregon to the coast conference, which meant also his replacement on the athletic board. Hollis is also a member of the edu cational activities board. The next meeting of the board was set for March 6. Called to order at 7:30 the meet ing ended at 11:30. All members were present but Roland Davis, who was detained in Portland. Speaker Delayed A telegram has been received from Clarence Henry of the Chica go board of trade stating that he will not arrive on the campus un til the latter part of the week, the school of business administration office announced.

The “Russian Carol,” by Rimsky Korsakoff was enthusiastically re ceived and encored by "Salvation Belongs to Our God,” by Tschno koff.

He was encored to sing the popular selection, “Old Man River.” Then the whole group sang the favorite “Hallelujah” chorus from Beethoven’s oratorio, "The Mount of Olives,” and “The Oregon Trail.” Other soloists were Joe Keever who rendered a lyric tenor solo in the “Irish Love Song, Mavour neen,” and Fred Beardsley and Rollin Calkin who interpreted solos in Liszt's "Liebestraum.” "The Sa lute to Finland” or “Suomi’s Song” by Mair was sung by a double niartet with Gleemen accompani uent.
