tMH BEACH WRITES OF PEBEORIHAMS UNIVERSITY OF OREGON GUIDE AT BIG “EXPO” MEETS LOCAL FOLK Sophomore Sage On Leave of Absence Claims to Have Performed Real Labor March 22, 1915. To the Emerald: On the chance that you may be in terested in our wanderings, I will at vempt to set down what has befallen Kenneth Moores and myself since we jammed a couple of collars in a suit case and left the classic halls of learning for a fling at Frisco and the animated guide post stunt. It was 1:05 Friday morning, 12 hours after we had found out we were going, that Ken and I climbed aboard No. 13 for the Southland. We man aged to snatch several minutes of sleep between the hissing of air brakes and the grinding of trucks. About 11:00 Friday morning we rolled into Medford, and were met by Geary Garrett, Dobie’s brother, in a stripped Chalmers roadster. He took us for a four-hour spin through the heart of the Rogue River Valley, out 'the paved Pacific Highway. Then to Jacksonville, and back by different roads to Medford. Stopped in and saw Irene Sullivan and Vernon Vaw ter. At 4:00 P. M. we again swung aboard the Southern Pacific as it passed through Ashland and were over the divide on the down grade to California before it became too dark to see. We went to bed early, just waking in time to see Mount Lassen in eruption. It was 9:15 when Sac ramento was reached and we stopped off for a couple of hours, walked through the city, and climbed to the top of the dome of the State Capitol building, 168 steps above the top of the elevator, according to Ken’s count. On our way back to the station we went through the post office and the court house. The 11:10, on which we left the State Capital, was a fast mail train, so we bowled along at a rapid clip through the Sacramento valley, ferried across an arm of the bay at Port Costa, and reached the big city at 2:30 Saturday afternoon. Ken phoned to Vosper, who met us at the entrance of the grounds and took us to the Oregon building. The fair ? It is so big, so elaborate, so huge that no writer can do it jus tice. Everything is on so grand a scale that one’s sense of proportion is almost thrown out of gear; it is a miraculous toyland, magnified a thousand fold. And at night, with ev ery statue, every arch, and every building the focus for countless hid den arcs and searchlights, no fairy land could seem more wonderful. Were I to start on a description of %he fireworks, fifty colored search lights playing on clouds of steam, the huge domes, San Francisco Bay and the fleet of warships and subma rines that are anchored in front of the grounds, I could never stop. You will have to come and see for your selves. We have our railroad fare and our berths paid for by the commission and are allowed $35 against which is charged $6 a week for two meals a day and room. The balance is sup posed tob cover our lunches while at the fair and our meals on the diner. When it comes to cooking, you have got to hand it to the O. A. C.Dgirls. The meals they serve us are A 1. If I can get meals like these for the rest of my days, St. Peter can reject my claims at the Pearly Gates, ur.d I will never complain. We have our evenings off and about a day and a half out of every seven. Yesterday I had charge of the Ore gon exhibit in the Horticultural Build ing; this morning I took Collier’s place at our state exhibit in the Ag ricultural Building, and raised a cou ple of near-blisters plying a broom This afternoon Ken and I tacked or burlap under the direction of Aller Eaton in the art room, while Pete Crockett and Victor Morris sat across the room commenting on the pleas ure it was to see us working. Norman Matschek stopped in for a couple of minutes yesterday to saj hello, and Claude Still was at the Or egon Building when we first arrived I believe this completes the list of University of Oregon students, pas' EXPO GUIDES ASCEND MOUIIT TIMMS “Jim” Donald and “ChucH” Ctfllifei Enjoy Trip in Company With Aggies o0 „ “Jim” Donald and “Chuck” Collier, who are now adting as student guides at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, recently made an as cent of Mt. Tamalpais, along with a party of 0. A. C. students, accor ding to a news story which appeared in the last issue of the O. A. C. Ba rometer. • The story is as follows: “A most pleasant trip to the top of Mt. Tamalpais was enjoyed Sunday, March 21, by a party of young folks from the Oregon Building. They left on the ferry at noon for Sausa lito, which lies among the foothills just across the bay from San Fran cisco. At Sausalito they boarded the electric cars and were taken for a six-mile ride to Mill Valley. This is one of San Francisco’s most enchant ing residence suburbs and everywhere one can see pretty homes nestled among the beautiful trees and shrub bery. Here they transferred to the mountain trains, which ascend grad ually through Blithdale Canyon, the redwood forest, and then up the moun tain. This railroad is known as the most crooked railroad in the world, and indeed it seemed so. The party finally reached the summit and were then about one and one-half miles above sea level. The entire surround ing country was spread out before them like a huge panorama. It was near the top that everyone partook of a luncheon prepared by the 0. A. C. girls. On the return the fireworks and illuminations were plainly visible from the bay. Those making the trip were: Mrs. Haller, who acted as chaperone, the Misses Parker, Harritt, Katherine McDermott, Miller, Mary Hartung, and Messrs. Amort, Gentner, Donald and Collier.” DEANS WILL MEET TO DISCUSS EXCUSING OF SEMESTER CUTS The Committee of Deans will meet at the end of the semester to con sider cuts. The catalogue says about attendance at classes: “All students are expected to at tend classes regularly. Daily reports are sent to the Registrar by all in structors. Any student not present at at least 80 per cent of the reci tations in any subject will be barred from the final examination. Excuses for absences on account of sickness may be granted only at the discre tion of the Deans. Students wishing absences excused must file with the Registrar a written request specify ing the dates of the absences and the reasons therefor.” BEZDEK’S PALE-FACES MASSACRE REDSKINS (ontinued from page 1.) Huntington is out of the game for some time with a bad ankle received in sliding into first base. Yesterday’s crowd was good, but it was composed largely of students.

BUSMEN GET SWEATERS Twenty-Two University Wind Artists Receive Reward for Year’s Work at Dance Friday Efening ° o _ Twenty-two big, blue, rcfUihneck sweaters, each marked with a gold lyre, were presented to members of the University of Oregon Band at the band dance last night. Tom Boy len made the speech of presentation. The awarding of the sweaters is the result of several weeks of watch ful waiting on the part of the human bellows. When the first batch of sweaters arrived, several weeks ago, they were found apparently not of good quality. They were sent back to the makers. The sweaters award ed last night are full weight and are extra good quality. Those receiving sweaters were: Maurice Hyde, band master, Walter White, Frank Johnson, Claud Hamp ton, Bert Jerard, Walter Grebe, Wal ton Parsons, Floyd South, Frank Wray, Lee Belknap, George Winship, Russell Quisenberry, Harold Ham street, Gus Scholl, Clarence Nelson, Loren Butler, Leo Potter, Ralph | Chambers, Chandos Castle, Vern Ap person, Lloyd Tegart and Ralph Milne. The chaperons were Tom Boylen, Anthony Jaureguy and Sam Michael. The University of Utah athletic board has decided not to support a baseball team this year. The idea seems to be that the expense is too great, considering the caliber of the teams which can be played. Crew men at the University of Syr acuse, according to carefuly compiled statistics, are far ahead of all other students in their scholastic averages. A charge will be made of $2.00 per hour for every hour that a student in the college of liberal arts at Syracuse University takes next year in excess of sixteen. “NORMAN” The NEWEST OLLA Cloett, Peabody A Co..
