The Voting Contest.
There appears to be some objection
on the campus particularly among
some of the University women against
the proposed method of electing the
queen for the coming Canoe Carnival.
It is urged that the plan smacks too
strongly of provincialism, that a paid
voting contest is hopelessly vulgar
and that the coming election will be
conducive of undignifed squabbles and
will foster factionalism and jealousy.
The scheme is not ideal—few things
in this rough and tumble world are —
and the committee only decided upon
it after a careful canvass of all alter
native courses. The carnival cannot
be made a success without money.
Money is obtainable from neither the
treasury of the Junior Class nor the
Student Body. No public-spirited
ones donated any money and a sub
scription list was not considered feas
ible in view of the fact that trophy
cups and prizes were being liberally
contributed. Probably in another
year the regatta will have been estab
lished and accredited and may hope to
secure a regular appropriation. In
the meantime ther can be no carni
val without money and the committee
adopted the voting contest as the most
feasible expedient.
Misapprehension seems to exist that
the contest will make a deliberate ap
peal to clique and sorority7890$.
peal to clique or sorority rivalry, but
it is most probable that the contest
will be along class lines, and that can
didates will be voted for as members
of a class, not of a sorority.
To make a success of this first
carnival will require the concerted
efforts of the whole student body and
after the city merchants have so gene
rously responded in donating trophies
it would ill become the students to
allow the carnival to fail through lack
of interest and support.
Through a bad oversight, the ac
count of the all-coast track pieet
held at Berkeley last Saturday was
omitted from Wednesday’s Emerald.
It was through no intention to be
little the performance of the Oregon
men, who, though defeated gave the
best they had, and behaved in a wav
that pleased both the trainer and
captain. Participation in this meet
was beneficial in that it furnished
an opportunity for better training and
also gave a line upon what our
northern neighbors have. Team, cap
tain and trainer say that Oregon can
defeat Washington this year and if
events justify this claim, it will be
worth ten California trips.
Hr. I.uolla ( lay Carson, for many
years. so prominently identified with
this University, is succeding splen
didly as President of Mills College.
The scholarship standard of this
women’s college is being rapidly
raised and Stanford and California
now accredit the work done there as
equivalent to their own. The older
students, here at Oregon, who came
in touch with Or. Carson’s winning
personality will be pleased to learn
that she retains her vital interest
in every phase of our college life
and wishes to be remembered to her
numerous friends among the faculty
and student body.
Charles Olson has been busy the
last three days warding off kindly
intended “congratulators” and vehe
mently protesting his singleness. The
Emerald published the story of his
nuptials on what it considered good
authority, but is blamable for not at
tempting to verify the story. In this
case, it is impossible to resort to the
newspapers’ time-honored resource of
shifting the blame onto the scape
goat printer. Consequently The
Emerald takes this opportunity of
siating for the benefit of marriageable
co-eds that Charles is still single.
SENIOR CLASS* WILL
PRODUCE CLEVER PLAY
The annual senior class play which
will be given the twenty-seventh of
next month, promises to be one of the
best ever produced by the “dignified
ones”. The play is good and allows
for much capable action, the cast is
large anu enthusiastic and the direc
tor one who has a wide experience
and very capable.
The play is a college selection en
titled “Playing the Game,” and those
who have read it assure its success.
I The cast is large and among those
who will expound on the Thespian
1 art are the names of such well known
and retiring students as Les Dobie,
Bill Mott, Tom Burke, “Chuck” Tay
lor and “Hippo” Gillis. The entire
personell of the play is as follows:
“Tckey” Ogden, D. L. Dobie, Tom
Burke, Juliet Cross, “Deac” White,
M. W. Getchell, “Hippo” Gillis,

j Wilbur, Maybelle Larsen, Laura Ken
j non, Madge Hamble, Sophia Catlin,
Cecile Wilcox, Gertrude Denhart, Peg
gy McNair, June Gray, Helene Wash

The director, J. G. Hammond, is a
former Eugene boy, born and raised
[in this county, and a brother of a lo
cal man, C. C. Hammond. He has
had much experience, having staged
! such plays as “The Lion and the
I Mouse,” “House of a Thousand Can
dles.” and several Belasco poruedtoin
He has the hearty support of the en
tire cast and everything indicates an
unprecedented success for the play.
