Charley, o 0000000000000000 The signature is that of Charles Olson, ’12, and the above is the copy of a telegram received yesterday tell ing of the marriage of a pop ular member of the junior class and Varsity athlete. The young lady referred to is Miss “Bob” Whyte, of 682 Sandy Road, Portland, and is well known to a num ber of Oregon students. The mar riage comes as the culmination of a pretty romance and though Charles’ friends are not surprised at his choice they did not expect the affair to oc cur so soon. In a post card previ ously received from Olson by another college friend, he had written enig matically, “If I am not back by Sun day address me care California Tax icab Co.” From this the inference is drawn that the young benedict has secured a responsible position in Frisco and will take up his perma nent residence there. Needless to say the young couple are followed by the best wishes of their many college friends. LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS THE EX-PRESIDENT OF VARSITY TALKS ON “REALIZING OUR IDEALS” The Material World Said Not to be What it Seems—Brick Walls Only Mental Concoctions Probably the most scholarly and at the same time inspiring address of the school year was delivered this morning at the assembly on “Realiz ing an Ideal.’’ Dr. C. H. Chapman, a former president of the University of Oregon, and at present on the editor ial staff of the Oregonian at Portland. Dr. Chapman said in part: “The re ality of matter has been questioned by scientists and philosophers. What appears to be a brick wall is in real ity only a concoction of the human brain. Such theories, however, have no weight with the people at large who live in a mateerial world and cannot see beyond it. The youth leaving col lege is told by the materially minded world to forget his ideals and busy himself with the things about him. This is wrong. The material should not obscure the ideal for it only wastes life when that life should be made a full one. It puts the empha sis on “how much” rather than on what kind. The ideals point to the real and yet which are eternal, while the natural points to the earth, which is tempo rary and fades. Ideals as ideals only are useless. To become useful they must be ac companied by deeds. The ideals of Christ and Plato are of value because they were applied to actual life. The principal mental virtue is hos pitability towards new ideas. Our men at forty years of age become chrystalized monsters, their minds re fusing to accept any new idea. This is wrong and is especially unbecom ing of university bred men, who of all men should have hospitable minds and by virtue of their culture not be men who say, “It can’t be done” but who take a hand in correcting the mis takes of our forefathers. Before the address a member of the Cartwright Concert Company sang a solo which brought him a rous ing encore. APRIL FROLIC IS HERE The fourth of the Annual April Frolics will be held Friday evening, April 28, in Hayward Hall. Each of the seven sororities, the Eutaxians, and the girls of the Oregon Club are preparing interesting and amusing “stunts.” The “stunts” will take the first place on the program and will be fol lowed by a “Grand March” in which each one will receive a favor from the huge grab-bag. The remainder of the evening will be spent in danc ing. Ice cream cones and punch will be served during the dancing in the boxing room. In a few days the different bulletin boards will display “classy” posters made by several of the most clever co-ed artists, which will announce the time and the exact amount of the ad mission to be charged. 0 0 0 0 0 0 o o o o o o o GLEE CLUB ELECTION o o o COMES NEXT FRIDAY o o President Melville Ogden an- o o nounces an important joint meet- o o ing of the Glee and Mandolin o o Clubs for four o’clock Friday af- o o ternoon in Professor Glen’s room, o o The meeting is called for the elec- o o tion of officers for the ensu- o o ing term and all members are o o urged to attend. o oooooo oooooo These Will Not Be Provided by Man agement of Saturday’s Stu dent Dance Saturday evening, April 29, is the date of the next student body dance. This dance, as the one given last fall, will be strictly informal, and will be gin promptly at eight-thirty. Several such dances were given last year for the first time, and met with the greatest success owing to the fact that they offered practically the only opportunities for the entire student body to get together in an informal social way. This year it was planned to give one each month, but for various con flicting events but one has been given thus far this year. Rolland Kennedy has been appoint ed manager by the executive commit tee and states that all possible will be done to make the affair successful, but that for the remarkably low ad mission price of fifty cents the man agement will not furnish pencils for the programs. These must be fur nished individually. WILL EN1ERMN WOMEN Scroll and Script Will Give Elaborate Garde;/ Party Next Saturday The Scroll and Script, the women’s senior honor society of the UniviYsity, will give a garden party to all the women of the University Saturday afternoon. President Campbell’s lawn will be the scene of entertainment, and here the present members of the society will meet their fellow co-eds In the receiving line will be Mrs. Campbell, Lila Prosser, Olive Donnell, Marion Stowe, Juliette Cross, Helen Beach, Edith Woodcock, Cecil Wil cox, Mary DeBar and Willetta Wright. Also Frances Oberteuffer and Ruth Duniway, seniors of the class of 1910. The Scroll and Script society was organized last year by seven of the prominent senior girls: Ruth Hansen, Bertha Dorris, Frances Oberteuffer, Ruth Duniway, Mae Sage, Caroline Dunston and Jennie Lilly. Each Jun ior Week-End, Junior girls will be elected to membership in the society. The number to be taken in each year is limited to eleven, and the qualifica tion upon which the selection is made are scholarship, interest in student body activities and general popular ity. All freshmen at the University of Washington must wear green caps beginning with next Monday. This was the edict given out by the soph omore class at that institution in a meeting last week. Failure to comply with this ruling will be punished by the paddle, was further stipulated in the orders passed. An amendment to the ruling was proposed, in which it was stipulated that freshmen shall not be allowed to come out by the front door. OREGON TEAM RETURNS I NABI.E TO BREAK EVEN WITH U. OF W., W. S.

The team played seven games, winning three and losing four. In the first game with M. A. A. C., in Portland, Oregon won by the score of 9-1. The Oregon team field ed in perfect style and piled up twelve hits. Cobb pitched a good game and Word caught. In the first Washington game the Oregonians were defeated by a 3-2 score. The game was hard fought and won on close decisions. Houck pitched for Oregon and Taylor caught. The second Washington game was lost by a score of 4-3. Peet started off for the visitors but was hit free ly in first inning, retiring in favor of Cobb. The game was called in the 7th inning to allow the Oregon team to catch their train. The game was mar red by considerable wrangling. In the first game with Pullman the Oregon team was defeated by the score of 9-2. The W. S. C. team clear ly had the better of the engagement, clouting the Oregon twirlers at will. Houck and Peet pitched and Taylor caught. The second game with W. S. Cn ended with a 9-2 score favoring the Collegians. Cobb, Jamison and Peet were pounded freely. Oregon won both games with Tdaho, first by a 6-0 score and the second 6-2. The Oregon team piled up four teen hits off the Tdaho twirler in the first game. Houck pitched good ball for Oregon, allowing but one hit. In the second contest Cobb let the nor therners down with six bingles but kept them well scattered. Taylor caught both games. After considerable investigation the Advisory Board of the Y. M. C. A has decided to secure either John Hunt or .1. S. Hodler, both of Deoauro University, to succeed E. M. Rrown as general secretary for next year. A telegram was sent to the Presi dent of Depauro today asking him r>i secure either one or 1he other of the men. The board has no preference for either, for from the recommenda tions the men both seem to have the same high abilities. Thev are seniors this year at De pauw and are both members of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. The Ad ! visory Board feels confident of secur I ing one of them.
