The Senior Play
There is no lack of excellent rea
sons why tlie Senior Play, which is to
lie given at the Eugene Theatre, Satur
day night, should be greeted by the
largest audience on record. In fact,
there is every reason why the student
body should make its attendance unan
imous, or so nearly unanimous that
only those who are consumed with the i
desire to be lonesome on Saturday night
would fail to be numbered among those j
present.
Why should every one be anxious
to go? Because it is the biggest so
cial event of the senior class during
the year. Because it will be the big
gest theatrical performance in the Uni
versity of Oregon this year. Nay, more
than that, Professor Glen, who has been
directing the rehearsals, lias whispered
that it is to he the best play that has
ever been presented by any senior
class in the University. Besides- that,
the students are personally acquainted
with the members of the cast, who rank
among the most popular and represen
tative members of the student body, and
will feel a personal interest in their
success.
No, wliru tlic salt* of tickets opens :n
tin 'ofclock on I'riday morning, the
lobby of the theatre alaint the box
oilier should by no means look vacant.
Die only vacant look should he found
on the face of the student who delayed
until the eleventh hour, and made his
decision to attend the senior play, only
in time to hud that all of the seats
were sold and standing room was at
a premium.
() yes, and there is another reason,
especially for members of the senior
class The class of 1 ‘>10 is still in debt
for the Oregana, and will soon have a
number of other obligations to meet.
(.'lass Treasurer lerry, who is also
managing the play, hopes to clear
enough from Saturday night's receipts,
so that all these hills may lie met
without it becoming necessary for a
class tax to be levied 1'or this reason,;
aside from all the other reasons, it he-;
hooves every member of the senior class
to make it a matter of personal inter
est to use every bit of influence he or
she mav possess to make the attendance
at the Senior Play this year the big-!
gist ever.
A Shame to the Varsity
Idle whole student body owes an apol
ogy. bo Hill Hayward, to CaptainWil
liams, to Manager b.spy. How can they
look these men in the face after the
shameful way they patronized the track
meet last night? Had they gone and
jeered, it would not have been so bad.
Ridicule is hard to bear, but silently to
ignore cuts deeper.
We speak of our trainer as the great
est in the West. Last fall no man was
more popular on the campus, and this i
is probably still true. But what is pop
ularity worth when his work is ig
nored ?
Xo one feels this slight to track ath
letics more than Captain Williams. On
him falls the responsibility of leading
the first track team in five years to
defeat. Yes, to defeat—there can be
little doubt of it now. Lack of material
might be overcome, but never lack of
spirit. Our captain can not be blamed
for this. He has done all in his power.
Every day throughout the year he has 1
trained, beginning so early and work
ing so hard that Hayward feared he
might over train. He will be the best,
pole vaulter in the Northwest again
this year, but what are his five points
worth when there are few more m
sight and the students ignore them?
All right, there is only one thing to
add to this obituary. In the past Ore
gon has concentrated her efforts on
track during the spring. This year |
other sports, not so truly collegiate,
have been taken up. Track, how'ever, is
the big varsity sport besides football,
and it remains to be seen if Oregon can
enter these other branches. If it means
to sacrifice track, she can not.

Souvenir Canes
Seattle, April 2—Epsilon Chapter of
Phi Lambda Upsilon, the chemical hon
or fraternity, was installed last evening
at the Univtrsity of Washington, with
a charter membership of ten. The lo
cal chapter is the only one west of the
Mississippi. Its object is to advance
scholarship among chemistry students,
members, and furnish opportunities for
social intercourse among the members
both active and honorary.
As a souvenir in remembrance of the
old university, built in 1861, which is
now being torn down, canes will be
constructed out of the hard wood in
side finish of the building. It is planned
to sell them to the business and profes- '
sional men who attended the institution
in territorial days, and turn the proceeds
over to the Wisconsin rowing fund.
