There has been very considerable sur
comment in Salem, both in viii
university and outside, with
to the Oratorical contest in Eu-
gene, in which willamette was entire
shut ont. As the facts of the case
become better known the result be-
comes a little e~XaSperating as well as
regrettable. 1t develops that the Al
bany representative who was awarded
the medal did not gain first place in
any particular. Miss Shirley, of Will
took first place in point of de
livery in which she showed very dis
the excellent training she had
received in the department of public
speaking under Prof. Crowder Miller.
Had she been as carefully trained in
composition il would seem that she
must have received the honors of the
contest. 1t should be noted that the
representative from Pacific university
took first place in composition. Among
the first four o%rations there was a diff
ference Of only one point, and among
was Willamette, which fer the
past two years has taken high place
in delivery. As it was, Miss Shirley
lost out by a fraction Of one per cent,
and the opinion was expressed by a
number of prominent people-among
them President Campbell Of Oregon,
and President Lee Of Albany-that she
have been awarded first place.

A last call is made by the sewing
department Of the Red Cross 10 help in
finishing this last quota. in order that
the work may be- done before the spring
work and gardening season comes on.
The Red Cross quota TO complete the
work is 400 dresses. These all come
cut out and there is no fancy
to be done. Besides being cut
out, they are hemmed top and bottom
with a draw string at the top. Now
all that the sewing department. at tine
post office asks is that women will
call and take to their homes several
Of these dresses, to be worked on al
odd times. Some auxiliaries have done
their share, while others haven't. Sut
with a few volunteers calling at the
post office up stairs to get a few dress
es, it is felt that the last and final
work TO be asked Of the women OF Sa-
lem and vicinity, may be all done and
sent on its way within a few weeks.
