AGORA IS PREPARIMG
REFERENDUM BOOKLET
O
Women Intend to Publish Pertinent
Facts Concerning the
University.
Mrs. Parsons, chairman of the
Referendum Booklet Committee, gave
a report of progress at the meeting of
the Agora Club Thursday evening.
The questions which are to be an
swered in this pamphlet are now be
ing considered. Though the money
to cover the cost of publishing will
be advanced by the University, it
seemed advisable both as a means of
advertisement and as a matter of
principle that the expense should be
met by the University women. To
this end a committee was appointed
to attend to the collection of fifteen
cents from every woman on the cam
pus. This is a slight individual bur
den and the committee is urging
every woman to do her share.
Portland people are taking a great
deal of interest in the work and sev
eral requests have been received from
them for copies of the booklet when
published.
Miss Guppy told of the work of the
committee of fifteen which is work
ing against the referendum in Port
land. She spoke of the work Port
land women are doing and urged the
University women to take hold in or
der to accomplish results. She also
read a paper on Home Economics,
dealing with the women food inspec
tors of Seattle.
WASHINGTON TO MEET
OREGON IN TENNIS
May 9, is Date for First Meet Between
Colleges—Washington Will Sign
Two Year Contract.
The University of Washington ten
nis team will meet Oregon’s team in
Eugene on May 9, the same day of the
track meet, according to a telegram
from Seattle, received this afternoon

first of the new contract.
This year is the filth that Oregon

nis, and so far the honors have been
about even. Up to last year each col
lege had the same number of points,
lege had the same number of points.

CUSS DEBATERS ME
PREPARING FOR STRIFE
Freshman-Sophomore Contest Satur
day Will be Followed by Dance
in Gymnasium.
Final preparations are being made
by the Freshman and Sophomore de
bating teams for the interclass con
test which is scheduled for Saturday
evening, May 3, in Villard Hall. The
Freshman debaters, under the tutel
age of Carleton Spencer, are sup
porting the affirmative side of the
capital punishment question, while
their opponents, coached by Bert Pres
cott, are upholding the negative.
The question stated in full is: “Re
solved, that life imprisonment with re
stricted power of pardon should be
substituted for capital punishment in
the State of Oregon.” This question
is of more than ordinary interest be
cause of the prominence which it has
received during the past year in this
state.
The members of the Freshman team
are: Lamar Tooze, leader; Prentiss
Brown, and Allen O’Connell. The
Sophomores will be represented by
Maurice Hill, leader, Gray McConnell,
and James Donald.
It is intended to give a dance in the
Gymnasium after the debate. The
debate will begin promptly at 7:30
o’clock, so that the dance may start
shortly after nine. The committee in
charge of arrangements announces that
those attending the debate will be ad
mitted to the dance free. Otherwise
tickets to the dance will cost fifty
cents.
An admission of 25 cents will be
charged to the debate.
SIX MEN WILL COMPOSE
VARSITY TENNIS SQUAD
Freshman Tournament Has Narrowed
Down to Trowbridge and
Ruck.
Tennis try-outs have found J. Pluvis
their hardest opposition this week and
the result has been a number of post
poned matches.
The Freshmen matches for the Lar
away cup have simmered down to
Henry Trowbridge and Harry Kuck.
Yesterday they were to play the finals
but were prevented by the rain.
To decide what six of the 15 con
testants will make the Varsity squad,
Captain Irvin Brooks has arranged for
three tournaments to be played by the
end of next week. Six men will drop
out after the first tournament, and
four after the second, which will leave
five men for the third try-out. Gray
and Brooks will act as runners-up.
According to Captain Brooks each
of the three men composing the team
will have to be able to play singles as
well as doubles for the contest with the
University of Washington will include
three matches single and two doubles.
No definite date has been arranged
for the tournament.
