OREGON EMERALD UNIVERSITY OF OREGON VOL. XII. EUGENE, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, APR. 12, 1911 No. 47 CASTE WAITS ONLY FOR CURTAIN TO RING UP princess chrysanthemum and court prepared to MAKE BOW Miss Florence Cleveland Will Sing Difficult Title Role Everything is in readiness for the girls’ opera, Princess Chrysanthemum, which will be presented in the Eu-! gene Theater tomorrow evening, Thursday, April 13, 1911. The cos tumes have arrived, the stage set tings are complete, the large orches- j tra is familiar with the score, and the girls themselves are thoroughly ac quainted with their lines and cues. A final dress rehearsal will be held this evening in the theater, at which the full cast and the orchestra will be present. The members of the Girls’ Glee Club are anxious that their opera be pat ronized liberally by the student body. The present organization is a rejuve nation of the long defunct Treble Clef Club, which died a natural death three years ago, due to a lack of vi tality. Two years ago Miss Camp bell, then vocal instructor in the School of Music, attempted to revive it, but found the co-eds not sufficiently interested, and nothing came of her efforts. Last year Miss Stinson was asked to direct it, but found that her schedule in the School of Music would leave her no time for such work. This year Miss Rowland was imported from Boston as a teacher of Theory of Music. She organized a Girls’ Cho ral or Glee Club, aroused interest m the work among the women of the University, and has been the prime mover behind the opera which is to be presented Thursday evening. The box office opened this morning, and the sale indicates that a large audience will be present. Seats are selling for 50 cents, 75 cents and $1.00 G1STIGE FORZEICHEN •: : .. *• i •: All of That Is tille- of Successful German Play Given A large audience greeted the Deutsche Verein, Tuesday evening, in Jts production of the one-act playlet, if'Gunstige Forzeichen,” or “Auspi cious Omens.” The cast consisted of Alfred Skei as Herr Rillberg, Charles Fowler as Herr Holdhaus, Dick Sleight as Ein Reitknecht, Mabel Zimmerman as Ka>oline, Herr Rillberg’s daughter, Naomi Williamson as Bunhilde, iill berg’s niece. Rillberg is in love with Bunhilde, whom he is informed is Rillberg’s daughter Karoline. He seeks an in troduction, and the old gentleman, anxious to marry his daughter to such a promising young man, readily ac quiesces. Rillberg is unable to ex press himself when he realizes the error and recognizes Bunhilde. The play ends happily, like the pro verbial nursery rhyme, by them liv ing happily ever after. H was the opinion of all present that the acting and pronunciation of the entire cast was excellent, and that the play was a decided treat. Miss Burgess and Mr. Lussky coached the troupe of amateur Thespians. LOWER COST OF LIVING AT BOYS’ DORMITORY The first step towards lowering the cost of living at Oregon has been ta ken. Last Monday the executive com mittee of the Boys’ Dormitory met, and after thorough discussion decided to lower the room refit at the Dorm for the coming year from $1.00 a week to 50 cents a week. The board will still remain at $3.50, but if the refer- i endum does not hold up the appro-! priation, a cold storage plant will be built, an extensive-vegetable garden will be cultivated, and all staple sup plies will be bought at wholesale and the board may find it possible to lower the board 50 cents a week. ELEVEN TO CALIFORNIA WITH TRAINER HAYWARD AND MANAGER BARBOUR—WILL LEAVE THURSDAY Thursday night’s Shasta Limited will carry to the sunny southland, Trainer Hayward, Manager Barbour and “Skipper” Hawkins’ trained crew of ten point winners. The fortunate ones whom Bill picked this afternoon are: Captain Hawkins, Johns, Kay, Bailey, Kellogg, Neil, McClure, Mc Guire, Latourette, Service and Mc Connell. Saturday the men will witness the Stanford-U. of C. meet at Berkeley and will then begin active training, aided by the salibrious California cli mate. While South, the men will live at the several fraternity houses under strict training rules.. The team selected is not as large as many anticipated which is due largely to the trainer’s decision to not enter a relay team. The Varsity four have not been yet struck their old stride and it is considered useless to take a team unless there is a strong probability of its placing. PROMISES A SENSATION 1912 Oregana Will Have “Scoop” Story of Hig An nouncement Editor Chester Moores, of the 1912 Oregana, promises the University a bigger, better., and! more sensational annual than has ever before been put out in the history of the college. As to the increase in size, the 1912 Oregana will be larger than last year’s record breaker by fully one hundred pages, and Will contain over 350 pages expository of the various features of life at.Oregon. The improvement in the quality of the book will be evident in the bind ing and general makeup. For the same price as last year the students may secure a better bound book on a better quality of paper. The book will also treat more completely than any other all the different phases of college life. For interest, several hair-raising sensations are promised. For one in particular, the 1912 Oregana will have the biggest “scoop” announce ment story that has yet appeared in any of the college publications. The management refuses to divulge the exact nature of this announcement, beyond saying that it will interest everyone in college and that it alone will be worth the paltry $1.50 charged for the publication. Beyond this, there are several live things promised in the josh columns, such as clever poems and satires from such master \ pens as Dean Collins’ and Sap Lat ourette’s. VARSITY OPENS BILL 5 TO 4 IS SCORE OF OPENING GAME WITH WHITMAN COLLEGE ERRORS FEW DESPITE BAD WEATHER Roberts, Fenton, Honch and Captain Taylor All Distinguish Them selves Today In the first baseball game of the | 1011 season Oregon defeated Whit- i man college at Midway Park this af-1 ternoon by the score of five to four. The game was played in a sea of mud but was extremely interesting and al most free from errors. Oregon’s vic tory was mainly due to the pitching of Byron Houck, the new Varsity twirler. Houck pitched shut-out ball up to the sixth inning, fanning out ten of the Whitman batsmen and al lowing but two hits. In the sixth the Varsity pitcher was changed, and due to imperfect control he failed to hold the missionaries to a shut-out. In the eighth and ninth cantos they land “CHUCK”TAYLOR Captain of 1911 Baseball Team ed on his offerings for a total of four runs, but Oregon came back with two and won the game. Whitman came dangerously near scoring in the fourth, when Captain Johnson, their star catcher, lead off with a clean two-bagger and Perring er followed with a single over second base. At this juncture Houch cettled down and fanned the next three bats men in order. Oregon’s first score came in the third inning when Cady Roberts, the brilliant little Varsity third sacker, walked, stole second and scored on a clout by Carl Fenton. In the fifth canto Oregon pulled down two more scores. Roberts sing led, went to second on Jamison’s sac rifice and scored on Barbour’s bunt down the first base line. Cozens sent Barbour down to second and Carl Fenton brought him home with a single. In the seventh inning Roberts drove out a single, stole second and third and scored on a hit by Barbour. Or-e gon’s fifth and final score was made by Captain Taylor, who walked, was sacrificed to second and scored on a passed ball. The features of the game were the catching of Captain Johnson of Whit ; man, and the work of Meese in center leld. The phenominal fielding, batting and base running of Cady Roberts, 1 and pitching of Houch shone most brilliantly on the Oregon team. Governor Folk and Judge Lindsey ’ speak at 0. A. C. this week. WHO STEALS MY BOOK, STEALS TRASH. BUT NOTES! A. W. Scullen, ’ll, is mourning the loss of his leather bound loose leaf note book which some miscreant filch ed from him while he laid it down. Mr. Scullen is not feeling badly about losing the book except that it con tained a year’s notes for his thesis work which is an irreparable loss. He advertises that if the notes are re turned to him the varlet may retain the bindings. The seniors are making arrange ments for their play after the Week End. Executive Committee Names Those to Direct Work University Day — The executive committee of the stu dent body, consisting of Mr. Percy Collier, Mr. Raphael Geisler, Mr. Phil Brownell, Mr. Verner Gillis and Miss j Edith Woodcock, held a special meet ing last evening for the purpose of appointing committees for University Day, May the 13th. The following members were ap pointed on the luncheon committee: Seniors, Mabel Hill and June Gray; Juniors, Emma Clifford and Jean Al lison: Sophomores, Nell Homenway and Carin Degermark; Freshmen, Sa rah Smith and Janet Young. Louis Pinkham was appointed chair man of the work committee and he expects to make the forenoon of the University Day count by building a long extension of the cement walk wrest of Deady Hall. All men students will have their respective work as signed them by Pinkham and his fel low committeemen, Mr. Henkle and Mr. Reuter. Following the work, a luncheon prepared by the University girls will be served. The girls promise a very hearty reception to the workers. MAY PLAY ON CAMPUS Campus Practice Diamond May lie Used for Baseball Games The baseball management is seri ously considering the resumption of the policy of playing campus games. Two years ago a number of suc cessful ball games were held on the lampus practice diamond. Gate re ceipts were secured by printing sev eral hundred large tags with the in scription “I have paid my admis sion.” These were plastered conspic uously on all bystanders, and sufficient sentiment worked up to ostracize those who “stuck around” without paying. The plan worked very well, as the regular number of admissions were secured and a great gain was achieved in convenience. Many stu dents can not afford the time and dislike the inconvenience of being crowded into the inadequate rolling stock provided by the philanthropic car company. Manager Luckey is seriously con sidering scheduling future games on the campus and tabooing the outside grounds. The Midway Park magnates exact a full ten per cent from Ore gon’s Genial McCredie, who feels that this is a pretty heavy tax on an al ready overloaded and brow-beaten branch of Varsity athletics. CANOE GARN1VAL NOW DEHNITELY ASSURED SWITCHED PROGRAM FOR WEEK END GIVES IT PLACE ON THE PROGRAM UNIVERSITY DAY WORK SATURDAY A. M. Oratoricals May Como Wednesday or Thursday if the Play is not Ready After an extended conference this afternoon between President Collier, Faculty advisors and Junior commit tee, a program for Junior Week End was evolved, eliminating conflicts m the dates of the various attractions. Briefly, the rearrangement switches the University Day work, wjiich has formerly fallen Friday morning, to Saturday morning, which this year is vacant. This change does away with a conflict between the Univer sity Day meet and the Interscholastic Track preliminary. Another import ant change moving the Junior Ora tions up to Wednesday evening or Thursday evening in case the Dra matic Club production cannot be pre pared by that team. There is thus left open Friday morning and Friday evening for the canoe carnival. By this arrangement it will be pos sible for the queen of the Carnival to present the cups and trophies to the winners in the preparatory meet as well as to the winners of the aquatic sports. In rearranging the program to give the Canoe Carnival a date it was felt that the festival being something new should be put on trial and that it should not be given a permanent place on the program unless it makes good. The change in the date of the Junior Oratoricals was made largely with the idea of opening the Week End appropriately with an event cf purely scholastic and academic na ture. It was through no desire to be little the importance of the oratoricals it being argued that a better repre sentation of the students would be present on Wednesday before every house would be embarassed with guests. With the Carnival definitely ac credited and placed on the program, the committee is able to work to bet ter advantage and will hurry final and definite arrangements for a bril liant and beautiful water carnival. NINE LEAVES ON FRIDAY Will Tour Inland Empire and Also Play at Seattle The Oregon baseball team leaves for an eight-day trip into Washing ton and Idaho next Friday night. The personel of the team is not yet known but Coach Lynch states he will carry as many men as the management will allow, probably twelve or thirteen players. Seven games will be play ed.

C. at Pullman, on the 19th and 20th. The last games will be played with the University of Idaho at Mos cow, on the 21st and 22nd.
