THU DARK HORSE As the Emerald goes to press, there are few sophomores who have announced their willingness to be considered as candidates for the ed itorship of the Oregana for next year and those who have, have done so on the very eve of nomination. This is all well enough in class elec tions where acquaintance between the various individuals and knowledge by the members of the class of the capabilities of oach other may be suf ficient to make possible an intelligent choice but the dark horse method ev en in class elections is to be con demned us educating the Oregon stu dents to pursue the same tactics in the selection of student body offi cers. The advantage to be gained by a candidate in coming out at the last minute and thus taking the opposi tion by surprise Is largely counter acted by the fact that those who do the voting will not have a fair chance to estimate hiB ability or right to the place and may In consequence cast an adverse ballot. Such a plan of campaign is not fair to the Btudents at large nor is it fair to the candidate. Why not a free, frank declaration of the inten tion of the aspirants for student body positions at a time early enough be fore the May elections so that overy voter in college, senior or freshman, will know just whom he or she is vot ing for? A CHANCE TO ADVANCE Once more the Emerald wishes to call ttn« attention of reporters to the contest which will start after the Baser vacation. All regular repor ers on the Emerald staff will be eli gible to compete for the pries of $5 and $2 which will be offered. The contest will begin on Thursday, April 23, and will continue over a period of two weeks Professor Allen, head of the Journalism department, Jessup Strang, news editor, and Fred Dun bar, city editor will act as judges and will pick the winners according to ability, and capacity for work dem onstrated by the amount and quality of copy handed In. In order to eliminate the undue advantage which might be posessed by those having exceptionally good beat*, any members of the reportor ial staff are at liberty to procure their stories from any source what soever, It beiug provided that if the same article Is handed In by two re porters, the Judges will select the better of the two for only material actually used In the “Emerald" will affect the relative standing of the man or woman handing It la. The treatment of all contestants will be absolutely square and above board, and the Emerald advises every “cub” on tbe staff to turn out and try fo” the cash prizes offered as well as for the chance for personal ad vancement which success will bring. ooooooooooooeeeooeo o SOCIETY o o - 0 o By Beatrice Lilly. o o o oooooo ooooooooooooo Lloyd Teggart and Herbert Nor mandin were Sunday dinner guests at the Beta Theta Pi House. • * Lloyd Teggart is visiting at the Sigma Nu House. • • Don Rader ex-15 left Saturday for Portland where he will begin prac tice with the Helena baseball team. • • Phi Delta Theta held initiation Saturday night when the following men were initiated: Morris Bigbee, Carson Bigbee, Lyle Bigbee, La Verne Van Marter, Claire Henderson and Loren Roberts. • * Francis Provost ex-16 was a week end guest at the Delta Tau Delta House. • • Hazel Ralston, Vera Weber, Claire Raley, Erna Petzold, Constance Tay lor and Mrs. B.

MAMMOTH BONE FOUND Scientific Magazine to Receive Story of Discovery Assistant Professor G. J. Mitchell, of the Department of Geology, ac companied by C. A. Clark and J. F. Galloway, students registered In the geology department, went to the Far rington place, where the remains of the two mammoths were recenlty found, und secured a bone of the mammoth lust discovered. Mr. Mitchell says the bone they found Is but a fragment of what was probably the leg bone of the huge animal. The bone measures 12 inch es by i Inches and is In an excellent state of preservation. A write-up regarding the discover ies. with pictures, will probably be written and sent to some scientific magazine for publication, according to Mr. Mitchell. Try a Hot Dog at Obak’s. S9 MUSIC SCHOOLS DISCUSS EXCHANGE QF RECITALS Oregon and 0. A. 0. May Take Part in Musical Meets Early in May Plans that will In all probability be carried out are being considered for an exchange recital between the students of the University of Oregon School of Music and those of the Ore gon Agricultural College School of Music at some date to be decided later. “This prospect, which was suggest ed to me by William F. Kaskins, Director of the School of Music in Corvallis, will call for the selection of six or seven of the most advanced students in piano, voice and violin, to represent each school,’’ said Prof. Ralph H. Lyman, of the University of Oregon Music School. “The object of this exchanged’ continued Mr. Lyman, “would not be for the purpose of arousing rivalry, but would be carried out in the most friendly way, and would present a splendid opportunity for the students to practice before a strange audi ence.” “Prof.Gaskins Ibeliieves that this spirit of mutual interest should ex ist between the two schools and is heartily in favor of the plan. He has said that thus far the two Glee Clubs have been the only representative or ganizations from the two schools which have been able to give enter tainments. They always part with a more friendly spirit than they had shown before, and there is no reason why this friendship should not ex tend to other branches of student ac tivity. “Mr. Gaskins suggested that the University of Oregon students appear in Corvallis on April 24, but this will be impossible for a concert on that date would interfere with the trip which is being planned for the Girls’ Glee Club, April 23. Besides, we should need a longer time than this for preparation. I think it is prob able that a date during the first part of May will be selected. To the Editor: I wish to call at tention to a slight error made in the last issue of the “Emerald.” The prize was awarded in 1913 at the April Frolic to the members of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority for their pres entation of a band of trained seals.
