HABIT PLACES HAYWARD IN DANGER OF SUICIDE Bill Pulls Trigger and Wounds Finger During Blissful Day-Dream Starting an imaginary sprinter on an imaginary track in an imaginary hundred-yard dash resulted in no im aginary results to track Coach Hay ward yesterday afternoon when he shot himself through the fleshy part of the index finger on his left hand. Bill had left the gymnasium and whs walking out to the grounds to commence the afternoon’s training. He held his pistol loaded with blanks pointed into the palm of his left hand and toyed with the trigger with his right. So completely did his thoughts become absorbed in track that they became realistic, and ’ere he could control his force of habit, the trigger had been pulled and the wad had cut a gash half through the finger. “It was just force of habit,” he said. “I was walking along and thinking of a track man and the gun went off. I guess I must have pulled the trigger.” I - 5EC0KD MAMMOTH WILL BE BROJGHT 16 EUGENE Prof. Mitchell to Visit Farm Where It First Was Dis covered During the week Prof. G. J. Mit chell, of the Department of Geology, expects to go to the Farrington place, the farm on which the remains of the two mammoths ha^e been found during the past two weeks, and dig out the bone of the mammoth last discovered. Mammoth No. 2 was discovered by O. W. Lucas, who told Professor A. J. Collier, of the find Saturday after noon while the latter was on the Farrington farm to get the tusk and tooth of the first Mammoth discov ered a week ago Monday by Sammy Beer, son of Principal W. A. Beer, of the Condon school. The bone of second mammoth shows but a few inches above the ground and, according to Professor Mitchell, it will require considerable care to remove it without injury. The bone will be brought .to Eugene and placed in the University Mu seum. The tusk of Mammoth No. 1 has been placed in a plaster of Paris cast in order to prevent crumbling. Only the middle section of the tusk re mains, the two' ends being either broken off or decomposed. The sec tion is about 31 inches long. BIBLE STUDY SECRETARY WILL VISIT ’VARSITY Y. M. H. S.

He is what I call an asso ciation live wire.” Ernest Williams has returned from Independence. Charles S. Olsen, ex ’12, is visiting at the Phi Delta Theta house. Fred Hardesty was a guest for lunch at the Sigma Nu house Tues day. APRIL FROLIC PLANS HADE HOT DOGS AND STUNTS WILL FEATURE IN WOMEN’S GATHERING PRIZES ARE TO BE GIVEN All Men Are Barred Either as Participants or as Specta tors. Triple “A” Stunt Was the Best Last Year. The fifth annual April Frolic will be participated in by the women of the University, enlivened by hot dogs and thirteen stunts, next Saturday night in the Men’s Gymnasium. “The Frolic is a general good time for the women of the University,” says Meta Goldsmith, vice-president of the Women’s League, who has the affair in charge. Each sorority, the women of the Oregon Club, Mary Spiller Hall, and the women of the faculty will put on a stunt about five minutes long. A committee of judges will decide which is the best. Hot dogs will be the repast of the evening after the staging of the stunts. Then all the women will have a jnanless dance, for no men are to be admitted to the Frolic. Women spectators will be charged 25 The Frolic will start with a grand march at 7:30 p. m., followed by the stunts. Programs will be circulated to morrow' on the campus, describing in rhymed couplets each stunt. “Each of the various houses is working hard to put on the star stunt and indications are that the Frolic will be lively from start to finish,” said Miss Goldsmith. Last year the prize stunt was that of the Triple A Society. The girls went as “red devils” in union suits dyed red. Three other girls came disguised as cats and would not disclose their identity, for their only response to all Queries was “Meow!” It was thought that they w'ere men, perhaps, using this ruse to get into the Frolic. A number of the women begged them ! to tell who they were, but still the same feline answer, “Meow!” Even the women of the faculty could bring no other sound from them. When some one lifted the mask from the face of one of the “cats,” it was seen that they were really girls and en titled to admission. SOPHS FAIL TO ACT ON CAMPUS SMOKING Editor and Manager of 1915 Oregana to Be Held . Next Week The sophomore class meeting held Wednesday was taken up largely by the address of Dr. E. S. Conklin, but some business was also considered. Fred Hardesty, representing the student council, gave the class a short talk on the suggestion which has been made as to the smoking on the edge of the campus. He stated that the council was not trying to force this onto the students but he pointed out that since a number of complaints have been made regarding this, both from outside the University and from within that it would be wise for the class to take action‘on the matter in an effort to do away with at least some of it.. No action was taken on the matter by the class. • The under-class mix also came up for some discussion and a report of the committee in charge was given by Joe Gilpin in which he pleaded for aid from all members of the class to make the affair a great success. A date for the election of the edi tor and manager of the 1916 Orega na was set and will be held next week. WOMAN’S WAY USUALLY WINS HOW “THE SEX” MANAGES IT THIS TIME WILL BE SHOWN FRIDAY JANET YOUNG LEADS CAST Problem Play Intersperses Comedy With Efforts of Wife to Reform Her Husband. Seat Sale Will Be Big. (By Edison Marshall) The Dramatic Club will make its annual appearance tomorrow night in “A Woman’s Way” at the Eugene Theatre. The seat sale opened at 10:30 today and according to Man ager Dimm it is satisfactory. The curtain will go up at 8:30. "A Woman’s Way” is an Ameri can problem play, with much comedy Interspersed. The part of Marlon Stanton, as the woman who has her way, is played by Janet Young. Her husband, Howard Stanton, has taken a wild joy-ride and the newspaper men want the story. Marion knows that if her husband’s orgies get into the papers she will be unable to re form him and will be forced to get a divorce. It requires all her clever ness to outwit the reporters. An old' sweetheart, Oliver Whitney, appears, and Marion responds to his pretend ed lovemaking to make her husband jealous. She Is at last successful and he reforms. Harold Quigley plays Mr. Lynch, a persistent feporter. Bernice Cogs well plays the indulgent mother of Howard. The part played by Janet Young is one of the most difficult roles she has yet attempted, but Pro fessor Reddle believes her interpre tation of Mrs. George in “Getting Married” and Annie Roberts In “Strife” shows her fit for the part. Ralph Ash will play Howard Stanton. “A Woman’s Way” has had long successful runs In New York and other cities. The cast is as follows: Marion Stanton.Janet Young Howard Stanton.Ralph Ash Mr. Lynch.Harold Quigley Bailie Livingston.Norma Dobie Mrs. Stanton.Marjorie Cogswell Mrs. Belle Morris. . .Emma Wootton Mrs. Livingston..Margaret Pratt Mrs. Blackemore. .Catharine Carson Bob Livingston.Bert Jerard Oliver Whitney.Cleve Simkins Mr. Morris.Willard Shaver Wilson.Milton Stoddard BAKER PLAYS 0. A. C. TODAY INSTEAD OF OREGON NINE Walker May Schedule Practice Games With Chemawa and Mt. Angel This week is being taken up in practice games between the first and second baseball team squads when ever the men are able to appear on the field. The games which were to have been played with Baker did not materialize as Baker men went to Corvallis today after their manager had given Walker to understand that they would play here Thursday in stead of Wednesday if he desired it. Walker is now attempting to schedule more games for the week end and it is possible that either the team will go to Chemawa or that i$t. Angel or Dallas will come here. It is probable that three games will be played with the Helena club in Portland on April 13, 14 and 15, on the Varsity’s trip to Seattle where they meet Washington in the first conference games of the year. The trip will be taken during spring va cation. Students of Iowa University are contemplating a mass meeting to per suade the president, Mr. Bowman, to reconsider his resignation. 16 LOST OREGANA PAGES MAKE HENDRICKS WORK Editor Now Faces Problem of Duplicating Articles in Misplaced Copy To add to the various and sundry difficulties that beset an editor any way, Lee Hendricks, the present edi tor of the Oregana, thinks that his share has already been allotted him and he is not kicking against any shortage on the account either. Just when everything was practic ally ready for first of the book which was to be set up and put on the press and which was being held up in wait ing for the paper to arrive, what hap pens but that the first sixteen pages of the book have to disappear. Somehow in the shuffle at the printing office, these first sixteen pages including a fine poem and ded ication have come up missing and the problem which Lee now has on his hands is the duplication of the ar ticles. This is an extremely difficult feat and it Is probable that an exact duplication cannot be made. “ CRAFISNAN ” NAME Of NEW MASONIC ORGANIZATION Masons of the University Form a Club and Elect Their Offioers “CRAFTSMEN” NAME—III— “Craftsmen” is the name of a new Masonic society that was organized Tuesday evening by members of the faculty and students who hold mem bership in the order. The object of the new club is pure ly social. Two regular meetings will be held each year, and others will be called from time to time. The meet ings will probably be hjeld in connec tion with banquets. At present there are 17 members of the faculty and 14 students who are eligible to membership in the society. Practically every University in the United States of any size has a Ma sonic club of some character. There is 9 possibility that the “Craftsmen” may later petition one of the na tional Masonic college fraternities. Several of the faculty are members of the Acacia fraternity. The officers of the society for the remainder of the year are: A. R. Tiffany, president; Dr. K. M. Dallen bach, vice-president; Otto Heider, secretary-treasurer. SENIORS PLAN TO WIPE OUT QREGANA DEFICIT Ways and Means Committee Appointed by President Grout The chief business transacted at the Senior class meeting yesterday was in regard to the Oregana deficit Incurred last year. After hearing a detailed report from the manager of the book, President Allie Grout ap pointed a ways and means commit tee of fifteen members, to consider methods for relieving the class of this financial burden amounting to several hundred dollars. The committee consists of the fol lowing members: Willard Shaver, chairman: Eleanor McClaine, Norma Graves, Catharine Carson, Florence Avfery, Rose Basler, Don Rice, Earl Hughes, Charles Fowler, Alfred Col lier, Hawley Bean, Alfred Davies, Colton Meek, Wallace Benson and Charles Reynolds. Immediate steps towards lidding the class of its debt will be taken and the committee will hold its first meeting in a few days to consider ways and means. The report of Manager Bean showed that a number of large ad vertisers had backed out at the last moment, and this fact In connection with accounts which were uncollect able made the deficit so large. At the next meeting of the class definite arrangements for commence ment and a class memorial will prob ably be made. CLUB RETURNS FROM JOURNEY SINGERS REPORT ONLY FAIR HOUSES BUT WARM WELCOMES CORVALLIS AUDIENCE URGE 0. A. 0. Warblers, Who Have Well-Balanced Olub Will Ap pear in Eugene for Return Concert Next Tuesday Night. The Oregon Agricultural College Glee Club will appear in this city Tuesday night, at the Eugene The atre in its annual return engage ment for our concert given in that city Wednesday night. The college Is reported to have an exceptionally well balanced club this year. Oregon i:uu> Returns. The Oregon Glee Club returned this afternoon from its tour which included Portland, Albany and Cor vallis. Following Sunday and Mon day when the club appeared In sev eral places In the Rose City, the men journeyed to Albany where they ap peared at Albany colegle and in con cert that night In the theatre. The members of the club report a fair house and a warm welcome. The papers treated the club well. On Wednesday the club went tof Corvallis where appearances were made at the high school, the college convocatlonal exercises and In con cert that night In one of the churches there. The best house on the trip was had at Corvallis and the audi ence was very enthusiastic. Following the concert the varsity club was tendered the annual ban quet by the college club at one of the hotels. Toasts were given by the di rector, president and manager of the O. A. C. club which were responded to by the same officers of the var sity. The Oregon club was met at the train by automobiles furnished by O. A. C. and was treated royally all the time it was In the city, ac cording to reports brought back by members of the club. Manager Walker has not yet had time to compute the expenses of the entire trip yet but thinks that he will about break. The profits of the concerts at Corval lis and Eugene are divided equally between the two institutions and so he will be unable to tell how he is to come out until after the concert here Tuesday night. This trip to these cities ends the season of 1913-14 for the Oregon club and Is the 17th annual tour for the dub since its organization. The O. A. C. club Is reported to be better than ever this year and will give a fine concert, states Manager Walker. The members will arrive In this city Tuesday afternoon and will give the concert that night In the Eugene theatre. Tickets will be on sale for the concert at the usua' places and will probably be put on sale the last of this week. ALUMNI REGISTER SOON University Publication to Be Issued Within Three Weeks.
