TODAY
ALL-CAMPUS ORTORICAL
CLUB IS RECENT PROJECT
TO/BE MANAGED1 BY COMMITTEE
OF STUDENTS AND
FACULTY
A decision to submit plans to the
oratorical board for the founding of
an all-campus oratorical organization
was reached at a meeting of the re-
organization committee of the oratori-
cal board held Wednesday afternoon
in Mason hall. Prof. R. D. T. Hollister
of the oratorical department presided
at the meeting.
Delegates from College and Clubs
The report which will be submitted
favors the establishment of a new
oratorical board composed of dele-
gates from the various classes of the
literary and engineering colleges, and
from the three campus debating so-
cieties, Adelphi, Alpha Nu, and
Athena. It approves the formation of
an All-Campus oratorical society of a
closed body form, membership to be
based upon the holding of tickets for
a lecture course which is planned to
be given by the Oratorical associa-
tion.
Thus every student who buys a
season ticket for this lecture course
automatically becomes a member of
the proposed oratorical association,
privileged to partake in all meetings
and elections.
The proposed association will be
managed by an oratorical and execu-
tive board comprised of students and
faculty. It is planned to compose
these boards of one student elected
from each of the three present debat-
ing societies, five officers elected by
members, and nine elected at large.
The executive board will-be appointed
from members of the oratorical board.
0 To Encourage Oratory
These boards will manage all intra-
collegiate debates and oratorical meet-
ings. Minor committees will be ap-
pointed to encourage interest in public
speaking by offering prizes for cam-
pus debating.
The proposed plan must receive the
sanction of the present oratorical
board. If approved, it will be voted
upon by the entire student body at
the net all-campus election.
Objections were raised to this plan
on account of Its closed body feat-
ure. Some members of the present
debating spcieties fear that if the pro-
posed board be organized, it will cause
a disruption of their clubs.
All matters pertaining to the plan
will be threshed out at the meeting
of the oratorical board, later.

WM. DESMOND in
Miss Billie Burke in "The Make-
Believe Wife" at the Majestic theater
today and Saturday is said to be espe-
cially clever. The picture concerns a
couple who get lost in the woods and
are obliged to stay there over night.
To prevent all scandal they marry,
although both were engaed to other
people. How they adjust themselves
to this peculiar union forms the bas-
is of the story.
Miss Burke is noted for her beau-
tiful costumes and in this photo play
she displays a number of the latest
modes. David Powell plays leads with
the star in this production.
Sunday and Monday, Wallace Reid
is coming in his latest comedy, "The
Dub."
AT THE WhITNEY
Irene Bordoni and Wallace Eddin-
ger in "Sleeping Partners" is to be
seen at the Whitney tonight for one
performance only. It is a Parisian
comedy, adapted directly from the
French.
Miss Bordoni has had a wide stage
experience, always before, however,
appearing in revue and musical com-
edy.
Wallace Eddinger has had numer-
ous productions also, his best known
perhaps being "Seven Keys to Bald-
pate."
Monday afternoon, March 3, Cyril
Maude will be at the Whitney in "The
Saving Grace." C. Haddon Chambers
Sickly Evergreens,
Have Had Time
CA1PUS SAM) NOT CONDUCIVE
TO HUSKY FINE GROWTH,
SAYS PROF. YOUNG
Evergreen trees have a hard time
in eking out an existence on the
campus owing to several conditions
which are adverse to the growth of
that particular species, according to
Prof. L. J. Young of the forestry de-
partment.
The soil is far from being of the
best composition. Sand and gravel
with a considerable quantity of ashes
is typical of a great acreage of land
in this vicinity. This variety of soil
does not retain water and conse-
quently growth which requires a
goodly amount of !rainfall dies from,
thirst.
Persistent efforts are constantly be-
ing put forth by the forestry de-
partment to keep the trees on the
state's property in the best of condi-
tion. Occasionally some speciman is
too weak to take hold even under
careful attention and succumbs to
natural causes. When this is the case,
the dead tree is removed and a new
speciman planted. By such a system
the campus landscape retains its nat-
ural beauty.
DICTAPHONES NOW
FOR FACULTY, USE
Means has been given to those
members of the faculty who write il-
legible hands by which the readers of
their letters will no longer wear out
their eyes.
The Board of Regents has provided
for a central dictaphone office where
officers and members of the faculty
may have University business type-
written. The office is in room 204
University hall, but will be moved
later to the library. Mrs. Ethel Holt
is in charge.
The outfit in the office consists of
several dictaphones, a transcribing
machine, and cylinders. Expenses for
the maintenance of the dictaphone of-
fice will be taken out of the general
University funds. The department in
which the correspondence is written
pays the expense of letter heads and
stamps.
If any professor had sufficient work
to use a dictaphone regularly, one will
be installed in his office. The cylin-
ders will then be taken to the cen-
tral office by special messenger, and
the letters brought back by the same
means.
The office is open on week days
