HIE WEEKLY ASSEMBLY 10 SENIOR EXERCISES CLASS OF 1911 PROVIDES INTER ESTING PROGRAM AND ENTERTAINMENT LATTER PARTDEVOTED TO A:S:B: BUSINESS President Gillis, Miss Cross, Miss Wil liamson and Charles Robison All Contribute to Program The seniors entertained the Student Body this morning at Assembly with an interesting program. Caps and gowns were in evidence for the first time this year, that is, some thirty or more seniors appeared in them and sat in a body at the front of the hall, silent and dignified. President Verner Gilles opened the hour with a few words of welcome and was followed by Naomi William son, who delivered two recitations. Juliet Cross sang a solo and bowed prettily to the mob which clamored to hear her voice again. Chas. Robison delivered the ora tion he will use in the Tri-State Ora torical contest next Saturday at Se attle. President Gilles introduced Charley as the man who would trash the University of Washington this week, and after the oration had been heard, the audience enthusiastically agreed with him. Mary DeBar closed the program with two violin solos that brought her the same rousing ap plause accorded the others. At the close of the program Collier called the Student Body together for a session, that though brief, proved to be a most important one. Verner Gilles rose and introduced an amend ment providing for the long talked of and wished for Graduate Manager, who will have charge of the manage ment of all student body activities, except the Emerald and the Monthly, who will be elected by the Executive Committee and Athletic Council sitt ing together, and be discharged by them, and who will furnish bonds to the treasurer and who will draw a salary, the amount to be determined by the elective body. The amendment providing for a change in the method of judging Or atorical Try-outs will also be open for discussion next Wednesday. CASE WHERE DANCERS MORE THAN PAID THE PIPER • he Junior Prom will net the class of 1912 a balance of approximately $30.00. A total of $216.00 was taken in at the door. As nearly as can be esti mated at the present time by Manager Barbour, the expenses of the dance are as follows: Refreshments, $63.00; music, $53.00; Programs, $25.00; decorations, $20.00; cs'hs, $12.00; drayage, $5.00. A few miscellaneous expenses will bring the total up to about $186.00, leaving a Balance of $30.00. This balance by act of the class "■'i go to the Oregana to defray the expenses of the individual Junior pictures in the book. Last year the v,ass of 1911 paid the balance of its anee, which amounted to $20.50, to the 1911 Oregana, and the present Riniors are following their example. Mr. Spencer Mastick, of the Uni ' msity of California, who has been visiting at the Delta Sigma house, j ieft Monday for Portland. I)R SCHMIDT WILL TAKE TRIP TO EUROPE FOR MATERIAL Dr. F. G. G. Schmidt will leave shortly before the vacation period for Germany, where he will spend the summer at the “Amerika Institut” in Berlin and at Leipzig, obtaining ma terial for a text book on, “Germany of Today,” which he will publish in a short time through Ginn & Co., of Boston. On his way East the Doctor will stop at the Universities of Minnesota, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern and Baltimore, taking passage at New York for Hamburg. He expects to return in September with Mrs. Schmidt, who went abroad in April. P. G. BOND '08 MARRIES Bride is Miss Hazel Caldwell, ex-’14, Lately of Bend, Oregon Oc curred Tuesday Paul G. Bond, ’08, was yesterday quietly married at the residence of the bride, Miss Hazel Caldwell, ex-’l-l, who was lately a resident of Bend, Oregon. Immediately following the cere mony the bride and groom were whisked away in an automobile and refused to declare the destination of the honeymoon trip. It is darkly hinted that this secret flight was the means adopted to forestalling a chiv arie by kindly, but overly enthusiastic friends. Mr. Bond, since his graduation, has been an instructor in the University Engineering department and is the proprietor of a lucrative business in renting canoes. Mr. Bond is also a tennis player of prowess and has par ticipated in several tournaments. Mr. and Mrs. Bond will live in Eu gene where they will soon be at home to the congratulations of their many friends. Miss Lucie Dunn wil lentertain a few friends Friday evening1. LIKE OIL AND WATER Senator Calkins Says Christian Isn’t There When It Conies to Politics When Senator W. W. Calkins was approached by a member of the com mittee to secure speakers for the men’s meetings of the Y. M. C. A. and asked to deliver an address on “The Christian Citizen in Politics,” he replied, “He isn’t there.” “Well he ought to be,” replied the inter viewer, “and we would like to have you give us your ideas on the sub ject,” and Senator Calkins consented to speak on this subject at the men’s meeting of the Y. M. C. A. on Fri day evening, May 26. Senator Calkins is said to be rather an undemonstrative man but one who does not hesitate to say what he thinks and in a very positive and def inite manner. It is with much per sonal inconvenience that he is ar ranging to give this address but there is no doubt that the men of the University will show their ap preciation by a good crowd. Besides an unusually good music number, there will be two or three other features of an interesting na ture, and in order to complete the program it will be necessary that the meeting start at seven. TRACK TURNS IN SIDE Manager Barbour Estimates That Ai Least That Amount Will Be Cleared According to Manager Barbour, the Department of Track will finish the season with a balance on hand of a bout $100.00. An official report cannot be giver until all bills are paid, but Manager Barbour estimates his expenses as fol lows: Trip to the Columbia University Meet, $130.00; California Meet, $47.50; ! Whitman meet, $108.50; widening and j repairing track, $25.00. The expense? and receipts of the tri-state meet were pooled with the result that each team received $75.00. The student body tax apportionment for track is $474.57. There are many miscellaneous bills yet to be paid but when all are settled there will be a balance of at least $100.00 to turn back to the student body treasury. The balance would have been much larger had the dual meet with O. A. C. been held as scheduled. The tri-state meet this year did more than pay ex penses, and the loss on the California meet was unexpectedly small. DONALD BOWLES COACH Favorite Portland Actor Is Putting Finishing Touches Onto the Senior Play Cast Donald Bowles arrived in Eugene Monday to take charge of the re hearsals of the Senior Class Play, “Just Out of College.” Mr. Bowles is leading man in the Baker Stock Co., at Portland, and for some time has been a favorite with theatre goers at both the old and new Bungalow theatres. He has played all kinds of roles and is a thoroughly versatile and accomplish ed actor. ‘Jim” Hammond, who drilled the cast in the essentials of the parts, concerned himself mostly with the lines, but Mr. Bowles comes at a time when the actors are letter per fect and he can consequently put most of his attention on the finer points of the acting. A dress rehearsal is being held to day at the Eugene theatre under Mr. Bowles’ direction Owing to the extremely high wa ter ten people were involuntarily im mersed in the race Sunday. A crowd was continually on the headeate ancient mariners as Jim Johns, Punch bridges enoyjing the spectacle of such Dunlap and “Judge” Bean floundering and bubbling. HAWKINS STILL UNDECIDED ABOUT AN EASTERN TRIP The last issue of the Emerald con tained the statement that Martin Hawkins, Oregon’s star hurdler, had received a letter from the Seattle Ath letic club making- him a very flatter ing- offer in regard to their trip East tiiis summer. This is incorrect, as Hawkins has received no official communication from the club, the offer being- made to him by Gish, of Washington, dur ing the latter’s stay here Junior Week End. Because of this, “Hawk” has made no decision and as yet his trip with the Seattle team or with any oth er is entirely a matter of conjecture. NOT TET CONSOLIDATED Proposed Initiative Act Would Be Il legal Even if Passed It Is Urged The talk of the proposed initiative petition to consolidate the University and Agricultural College has aroused the friends of Oregon and the peo ple of Eugene. It is said that even should such an act be voted by the people removal of the University would be prohibited by the terms of the establishing act of 1876. This act provided for the location of the University at Eugene on condition that the city of Eugene and the county of Lane provide a bonus of $50,000. This condition was fully complied with and the Univer sity consequently established. It is claimed resasonably enough that the city and county having ful filled its part of the contract the state as the second party cannot repeal its part of the bargain. This opinion is subscribed to by many capable lawyers and a similar case in connection with the proposed removal of Dartmouth College is cited as a precedent. Just how forceful this reasoning is cannot of course be tested unless the attempt at removal is actually made. Numerous Errors with Numerous Hits Gives a Slow Game To Clubmen I ! The heavy hitters from the Multno mah Club took so kindly to the offer ings of the Varsity twirlers that they were able to annex Saturday’s pame by a score of 5 to 0. Coach Lynch sent Peet against the clubmen first but retired him in the fifth for Cobb. The visitors made one run in the first inning. The rest were blanks until the lucky seventh. Then they fell upon Cobb’s crooks for a bunch of hits and aided and abetted by a few errors, were able to chase four runs over the rubber. DeNeffe pitched for the clubmen and held the Varsity hitters on the hip at all stages of the game. Three changes I The May issue of the Oregon j Monthly is now in press and will bo ! distributed in a day or two. This is the last number of the school year and represents Dean Collins’ final lit erary achievement at the Varsity. Miss Carin Degermark, editor-elect, has already begun preparations for the first issue of Volume XV, to be out Ocotber 15, 1911. PROPOSE AMENDMENTS TOMB. CONSTITUTION VERNEIt GILLIS ’ll.
