All those whose names are announced are in the race. Rumors were current that the me thod of choosing the queen was en countering the opposition of the fac ulty and also the Dean of Women. These reports are also incorrect, as the faculty has made no objection and Mrs. Pennell has sanctioned the plan. The contest will close Satur day at noon and the winner will be announced in the Emerald of that day. The committee is now at work per fecting arrangements for the parade and consulting with several of the ’Varsity artists for points and sug gestions as to how to make the pa geant the most distinctive and beau tiful. A float will be built for the queen, to be drawn by three canoes. The queen will choose the young men to paddle the float and will also select the two lady attendants for the evening. Each class will enter a float, as will most of the student organizations. A number of canoes arranged to burleque features of col lege life and will also be in the pa rade. Arrangements are now under way to secure a band or stringed or chestra for the occasion. Some comment has been made over the fact that three of the twelve contests were open only, to teams from the clubs and fraternities, it being charged that this was unduly restricting the entries and that they should be thrown open to the public generally. This was made with the expectation that this classification would include the Oregon Club and would thus be practically inclusive of every one. The events were also team contests where a cup will be donated and if the members are pick ed at random there will be no suitable place to keep the trophy. However, if men or women not affiliated with any organization desire to enter these events, no objection will be raised. Provided enough entries can be obtained to make it worth while, a high diving contest will be scheduled and platforms built on the trees on the banks of the race. BUT SIX JUNIORS WILL EN TER WEEK-END TALK FEST Only six Juniors will orate during Junior Week End. Miss Birdie Wise and Leon Ray have withdrawn from the contest on account of too much other work. Miss Fay Clark has consented to take part in the Ora toricals so that at least half a dozen Juniors would be represented in this field. Those still intending to orate are: 1. Miss Grace Adams, “Vengeance Without the Law.” 2. Miss Hazel Wightman—The Lure of the Country.” Ralph Moores, “The Spirit of the Oregon Pioneer.” 4. Miss Alma Payton, “The Solid South.” 5. Wm. E. St. John, “The Abuse of the Injunction.” b. Miss Fay Clark, “The Awaken ing of the Conscience.” RAIN CHECKS GIVEN OUT FOR V. W. MAY DAY PICNIC Owing to the inclement weather, the \. W. C. A.
