SOPHOMORES OUTRIVAL
MEXICAN CABELLEROS
Last Year’s Freshmen Celebrate
Straw Hat Day With
Eclat
Now comes the Sophomore hat.
Yesterday morning, which by the
calendar is the day upon which
straws may be worn with perfect
propriety and without being too con
spicuous, the male contingent of the
Sophomore class celebrated the oc
casion by appearing on the campus
wearing Mexican sombreros. The
hats were of all sizes and descrip
tions. There were large hats, small
hats, and red bandanas streaming
over the back in true Castillian fash
ion. Some of the wearers, evidently
through the instincts of self-preser
vation, carried small stillettos con
cealed beneath the folds of the ban
danas.
The ’16’ers anpounce that it is
their intention to wear the fantas
tic head-gear for the remainder of
the semester.
A roof garden effect was carried
out by the Young Women’s Chris
tian Association at their Ice Cream
Social Friday Night. The Bungalow
and lawn v ere dotted with many
email tables set in a background of
wisteria and Japanese lanterns. Ice
cream and cake were served from
eight until ten.
OREGON DOWNS DALLAS
0 BALL PLAYERS* BY 11-3
Dick Nelson and Bigbee Broth
ers Make Majority of
Runs
DALLAS, Oregon, May 1.—Ore
gon’s heavy sluggers proved too much
for the Dallas aggregation today pil
ing up 11 runs while the home team
barely managed to scratch three hits.
C Bigbee, M. Bigbee and Big Nelson
made the majority of the runs dur
ing the first part of the game.
Lyle Bigbee showed his old-time
pitching form and tho local boys could
not connect with his ^slants even
when he tried to give them a show.
It was in the fifth inning that two
and three errors on the part of the
Oregon lads gave them three runs.
Altogether it was a slow and unin
teresting game.

2 ARE AFTER
PRESIDENCY
BOYLEN AND HARDESTY AN
NOUNCE THEIR CAN
DIDACY
V-PRESIDENCY GOES BEGGING
Secretary’s Job Also Unsought.
Council Aspirants Scarce.
Blackaby and Hendricks Will
Contest for Editorship.
With the nominations for student
body officers coming off next Wed
nesday, aspirants for distinction at
the hands of the student voters, and
applicants for the chances to serve
the student body through the medium
of these same offices are beginning
to appear, but the number who have
so far come into the open is consid
erably smaller than that at this time
last year. In many of the positions
[ which are to be filled at the elections
a week from Wednesday, there is
barely competition, some are not
contested, while for two of the most
important offices, secretary and vice
president of the student body, there
are at present no seekers.
None Want Secretaryship.
For the chief electoral office, the
presidency of the student body, two
candidates have appeared, Tom Boy
len and Fred Hardesty. Bert Jerard
who had been mentioned as a proba
ble entry in this race, today announc
ed that he would go out for the ex
ecutive committee instead.
No would-be secretaries have as
yet made any avowal of their inten
tions, and in fact all down the line,
the co-eds seem much more secretive
as to their intentions than the men
of the University.
Athletic Council Popular.
For three student memberships on
the athletic council, there Is an over
flow of candidates. Johnnie Par
sons, Henry Heidenrelch, Ray Bry
ant and “Buck” Bigbee, all varsity
athletes are out, and representing
among them three of the major
sports, football, baseball and track.
- Two members-aWarge are to be
elected for the executive committee,
but up to the present time only one
man--has seemed desirous of filling
either of the two vacancies. Bert
Jerard, president of the Junior class,
has come out definitely for the place,
but it will take at least two more en
tries even to make competition.
The student council, however, is
just as unpopular among office seek
ers as is the executive committee.
Four Juniors, Maurice Hill, Gray
McConnell, James Donald and Marsh
Goodwin are out for the three senior
memberships, Vaughn McCornack
appears as the only candidate for the
two vacancies for senior women on
the council, Claud Hampton and
Fred Dunbar are the applicants for
the two places open to Junior men,
and Genevieve Shaver Is without com
petition so far as an applicant for the
one opportunity offered for Junior
women on next year’s council.
Only two of the positions on the
staff of the Emerald are elective,
namely, the editorship and the man
agership. For these, there promises
to be close competition. Earl Black
aby, and Lee Hendricks, both of
whom have been connected with s*u
dent publications during their three
vears’ stay at Oregon, have been
known for some time as the probable
contestants, and as yet no one else
has been unearthed who has editor
ial ambitions.
For the managership, two Juniors,
Anthony Jaureguy, and Millar Mc
Gllchrist, have expressed desires.
Sam Michael has also been mention
ed as a candidate, but when ap
proached on the subject was uncer
tain whether or not he would be in
the race.
Gladys Graham of Astoria is visit
ing Meta Goldsmith.

SENIOR PLAY
COMES FRIDAY
ANNUAL CLASS PRODUCTION
TO BE GIVEN DURING
JUNIOR WEEK
“RICH” PLAY IS PROMISED
Entirely New Style of College
Play Undertaken by 1914
Class in Their Production of
“The Prof and the Soph.”
Friday evening, May 8 th, the cur
tain of the Eugene theatre -will rise
on the most unique production ever
attempted by au Oregon graduating
class. “The Prof, and the Soph”, a
musical comedy with a sparkling
plot, and teeming w^th situations
that are familiar to Oregon students
old and new, will be presented for
the first time.
The “Prof and tjhe Soph” was
written by Dean Collins—now con
nected with the “Oregonian”’—as
his senior thesis in 1910. Succeed
ing classes thought seriously of pro
ducing it but it remained for the
class of 1914 to assume its produc
tion.
Staggs Is Good Villain.
The plot centers about the love af
fair of Professor Cleaver, a Latin
Instructor, and Virginia Gray, the
Soph, and the Inevitable culmina
tion of the college romance Is tem
porarily stayed by the theft of some
examination papers from Professor
dence points strongly to the Soph’s
brother, who already haB a reputa
tion not of the best. Reggie, the
' hard luck” Frosh, who becomes
sentimental whenever in feminine
company, does some excellent de
tective work and brings the real vil
lain before Professor Cleaver who
dismisses him with a mild reprimand
after he—Cleaver— has explained
that 'he papers stolen contained
questions of the previous semester’s
examination. Dr. Pryor, a man of
strict conscience, believes nothing
should prevent the “meting out of
Justice” and when Cleaver explains
that the wrong papers have been
stolen, believes the explanation In
credible. Dr. Pryor Is played inimit
ably by Bob McCornack and Ira
Staggs In the role of villain is admir
able in his work. The characters are
all college types, and since the play
grew from an Oregon atmosphere
it should prove doubly attractive.
Music Well Handled.
The romance between college pro
fessor and student tho perhaps ex
ceptional Is t>:' no means Impossible
so the “Prof, and the Soph” Is an
exceptional case of the dellnlation of
college life.
Fifteen lyrics appearing In the
play have been set to music by Frank
Harwood, leader of Empress theatre
orchestra In Portland. These include
solos, quartetts and ensemble num
bers and the chorus numbers are
ably taken care of by senior men
and women./
The dancing is in charge of Miss
Lewis, and Professor Lyman is dir
ecting the music.
The cast has been rehearsing for
the last month under the direction
of Professor A. F. Reddle.
