A PROVEN SUCCESS The Executive Council and the Ath letic Council in joint session yester day re-elected Arthur M. Geary Grad uate Manager. Mr. Geary has al ready served two years in this capac ity, during which time student affairs have been placed on a more solid basis than ever before. The outlook would seem to indicate that during his next year of service he will have en tirely removed the Student Body debt. In fact, great progress has already been made toward this end, in spite of the fact that the manager has had to deal with schedules in the arrang ing of which he had no voice. From now on he will begin to reap the re sults of his work, for the contracts now in existence are of his own mak ing. Examination of the various activi ties show that from one to three hun dred dollars has been saved in every line of student endeavor except Ora tory and Debate. The graduate man ager system has been given a fair trial and results show that the Stu dent Body was amply justified in adopting it. It is also wisdom on the parts of the Executive and Athletic Councils that they have retained the man who has proved himself capable of removing conditions from a chaotic and critical situation to a position of safety and stability. THE EMERALD BANQUET Somewhere back in dim history when the students of the University first began to publish a newspaper, the custom arose of having, towards the end of each year, at least upon all years when the manager’s balance sheet could be made to warrant it,— a staff banquet. This year the man ager of the Emerald is going to turn over to the Student Body a balance such as was never before heard of. And besides that he is arranging to put on a banquet which will have as much the edge on previous banquets as the Emerald has had on the papers of yester-years. This banquet will be given at the Osburn, Friday, June 0, just before examinations, and the day before the last issue of the Emerald for this year. And in solemn conclave the editor and the manager have decided that there will be only one way to be invit ed to this banquet, namely to stay on the job regularly and faithfully until the end of the year. With Spring days luring one to the mill race and with exams fast approaching, the temptations to cut an assignment are hard to overcome. But the Emerald has to come out just the same. The staff has fast dwindled of late, and with the manager arguing that everyone who quits is two dollars more to turn into the Student Body, it bids fair to dwindle more. The editor, however, wants to see more than a faithful dozen qualify for the banquet. We are on the last lap now. Let’s all be in at the finish. Y. M. C. A.—Picnic up the mill race, leaving the Shack at 4 p. m., Friday afternoon. Return will be made by moonlight. Everybody is invited to go along. Announcements Agora—The annual business meet ing will be held Thursday evening, at 7 o’clock, in Miss Perkins’ room. Of ficers for the following year will be elected.

A banquet attended by 300 visitors from all walks in life and from all parts of Oregon concluded the general session of the fifth annual University Commonwealth program at noon Sat urday. The dinner was held imme diately after the arrival of a delega tion from Portland, which arrived on the Oregon Electric on a special train of five cars. The guests were carried through the city in a parade of 50 automobiles and brought to Villard Hall to hear the close of the educa tional session. A rousing speech by Colonel Hofer, representing the dele gation, closed the morning session. State Owes Much to Eugene. The citizens of Eugene have led a fight for the University for years,” declared C. C. Chapman, of the Port land Commercial Club, after the ban quet. The people of Oregon owe the fact that they have a University to the people of Eugene. Through their patriotism and desire to work for tho interests of Oregon they have fought for this institution of higher learning. It is the duty of the peo ple of Oregon to take up the battle which Eugene has been waging; and I think they are ready to do so. “Mr. Chairman,” he continued. “I move that this body appoint a com mittee of three to draw resolutions thanking Eugene and stating the at titude of this body. I move that Mr. Werlein, who started the singing to the tune of ‘My Hero’ and finished with ‘How Dry I am,’ be chairman.” Tho committee appointed was Philip S. Bates, Mr. Werlein, and President W. T. Foster of Reed College. The resolutions as drawn are: Resolutions Adopted. “Whereas the people of Oregon, participating in the fifth annual Com monwealth Conference and represent ing every part of the State have been accorded every opportunity to ac quaint themselves fully with the work of toe institution, the specific returns on the investment, and the many difficulties and limitations con fronting the Faculty and the Board of Regents in effectively carrying on its work. “Therefore, be it resolved, that we commend to the voters of the State the work of the University and affirm our convictions that this work can be adequately carried forward only by means of the funds appropriated by the last legislature, and “Be it further resolved, that the immediate service of the University to the entire State is of such great im portance that the proposed refer endum on the appropriation should be opposed by every citizen who has at heart the highest welfare of the State.” SAVOY More for your money and better Pictures. o FOR WEDNESDAY ONLY Lewis & Abbott—Vaudeville.

SOPHOMORES 10 HIVE 010 PICNIC SATURDAY Seavey’s Ferry Named as Destination of Lhrte Fun Seeking Class. The Sophomores will leave the Lib rary at 3:30 on Thursday afternoon for their annual picnic. Seavey’s Ferry is the destination and the means of conveyance will be good old fashioned hayracks with plenty of hay to sit on. “This is to be a get-together af fair,” said President Hardesty. “We want every Sophomore in college to be there. If anyone misses this pic nic, they’ll regret it the rest of their lives.” The committee in charge of eats promises that there will be no short age and that there will not only be quantity, but also quality befitting the class. All candidates for Junior offices will be given an opportunity to “spout” and set forth their qualifica tions and reasons for holding an of fice. After this amusement this class will play games and dance upon the green, returning home in the full moonlight. IS RE-ELECTED MANAGER Arthur M. Geary. Arthur M. Geary, Graduate Man ager of the University during the last two years, was unanimously re-elected at a joint meeting of the Executive and Athletic Councils yesterday after noon in Villard Hall, to fill the same position for 1913-1914. Mr. Geary, of Medford, Ore , grad uated in 1911, from the Economics Department, and immediately took up his managerial duties, which he has since executed in a satisfactory and businesslike manner. At the time of his first election, Manager Geary pledged himself to clear the Student Body of debt. To ward this end he has already reduced the deficit by half and from the athletic schedule arranged for next year, Mr. Geary, according to prospects, will be able to clear this debt and turn a surplus into the treasury of the Student Body. SENIOR FOUNTAIN CENTER PIECE TO BE COPPER LILY Karl Martzloff has recently re turned from Portland, where he made arrangements for the center piece of the Senior fountain. The pice will be of hammered copper and will repre sent a water-lily. The committee in charge expect to have the fountain finished and installed by the first , week in June.
