OREGON EMERALD PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A WEEK UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 1915 Volume XVII, No. 72 JUNIOR WEEK-END PUNS TIKE FORM things will run smoothly SAYS SAM MICHAEL, THE OFFICIAL FINANCIER WATER FETE LATEST FEATURE Members of Managing Committee are Placed in Charge of Departments of Entertainment The general managing committee for Junior Week-End has plans well un der way and that things are going to run smoothly this year from start to finish is the opinion of Sam Michael, who has charge of the financial side. This general managing committee consists of Sam Michael, Bruce Hol brook, Kenneth Robinson, Martin Nel son, John Burgard and Gavin Dyott. They have general charge of such matters as the baseball games, track meets, the Friday evening concert and the housing the the “preppers.” The latest feature planned is a “wa ter fete,” to be held on the mill race Friday evening, May 14, according to Prentiss Brown, President of the Junior class. Don Orput is in charge of this and says that the fraternity houses, the Dormitory and Mary Spiller Hall will each enter one canoe. A silver cup will be given to the winner. Kenneth Robinson has charge of the track meets, Bruce Holbrook of the baseball games, John Burgard of the housing of high school athletes, and Martin Nelson of the entertain ment in Villard Hall. The last af fair will be given Saturday evening, May 15, and is for the benefit of those “preppers” who do not care to attend the Junior Prom. According to A. R. Tiffany, Graduate Manager, the program will probably consist of something to eat, a speech by Bill Hayward on track activities, an ad dress of welcome, perhaps some fatherly advice by Tom Boylen, Pres ident of the Student Body, and prob ably a talk by Coach Bezdek. The feature parade, which will be held from 2:00 until 3:00 o’clock on Wednesday, May 12, and which will usher in Junior Week-End activities, is in charge of Gavin. Dyott. Dyott states that it is to be as much of an automobile parade as possible, but that it is not entirely planned as yet. The Oregon and Washington baseball teams, the University Band, Presi dent Campbell and several other members of the faculty will have a part in it. It is planned to make this feature eclipse any circuses. The work of checking up railroad fares and other expenses of the “preppers,” of attending to admis sions to games, etc., is in the hands of Sam Michael. Programs are also being provided for, according to Wallace Eakin, chairman of the program committee, who stated that Joe Tominaga is do ing the decorative work. The Men’s Gymnasium will be headquarters during Junior Wek-End for the Student Body and general managing committee or some part of it. Here the high school visitors are to receive information, attention as to their expenses and any other help they may need. Boyce Fenton was appointed by Student Body President Tom Boylen, yesterday, as general chairman of the University Day committees. The chairmen and associates of all of these comimttees were also named. New, this year, will be the main taining of an information bureau at a convenient place on the campus for the benefit of all visitors. The bu reau will be in charge of Clark Bur Sard, and someone will be in atten dance at all times during the Week End. Gene Good will have command of (Continued on pare 4.) LOHERY DANCE WILL BECOME ANNUAL EVENT. SAYS LOUGKS Athletic Restrictions and Non-Danc ing Couples Keep the Attendance Down to Comfortable Crowd The Student Body Lottery Dance, the gamble of the year, was an em phatic success, according to Elton Loucks, head manager of the Monte Carlo hop. Three hundred attended the dance in chance pairs. So exuber ant was the gathering that students of Professor DeCou are inclined to believe that there is something in the mathematical theory of probability. Track training, baseball, out of town activities and the fact that many of the trifliers with fate were non-danc ers and preferred the exploits of Elaine, kept the attendance down to a comfortable number. Said Loucks: “Our first motive was to provide a good time for every stu dent, and also, incidentally, a partner. The result was a democratic, all-Uni versity, informal party. The affair fulfilled our fondest expectations and it is my opinion that it will become an annual event in the Student Body curriculum.” The Senior class added $15.00 more to their coffers than was added at the Senior Mix. The patrons and patronesses, Dean Ruth Guppy, Dean Straub, Miss Eteb no, Professor Dunn and wife, and Dr. Bennett, were pleased with the affair and say they had a good time. iSSllISlULL TO SPEAK AT ASSEMBLY Secretary of Child Welfare Commi tee of Portland to Lecture on “The New Co-Operation” Mrs. Millie Trumbull, Secretary of the Child Welfare Committee of Port land, and chairman of the Legislative Comittee of the State Federation of Women’s Clubs, will deliver an ad dress during the assembly hour Wed nesday, April 28, on “The New Co Operation.” Mrs. Trumbull attended the Com monwealth Conference, held on the campus in December, and was at that time secretary of the committee which drew up the bill on unemployment. Mrs. Trumbull was also present at the University during the Federated Wo men’s Clubs convention in October, at which time she addressed an assem bly audience. “Mrs. Trumbull is giving her life to the crippled children of the state,” said Mrs. Minnie Washburne, who has been intimately acquainted with Mrs. Trumbull for about eight years. “She also takes a great interest in the homeless children of the state and is very active in securing their admis sion to industrial schools where that course is practicable.” Besides Mrs. Trumbull’s speech, the assembly program will contain a spe cial musical selection. ANNOUNCEMENT “The Relation Between Philo sophical Materialism and Polit ical Radicalism” will be the sub ject for discussion at the Faculty colloquium in the new dining room of the Dorrmtory tonight. Dr. H. D. Sheldon will lead. Members of the Drama Guild were entertained on a picnic excursion to Bald Mountain by Professor Reddie and Mr. Dyment Sunday afternoon. Those in the party were: Profes i sor Howe, Professor and Mrs. Thach er, R. M. Winger, Miss Upleger, Miss Irene Upleger, Professor and Mrs. Allen, Miss Bidell, Mr. and Mrs. Ma-1 rion McClain, Miss Perkins, Dr. Stu art, Miss Hair and Mr. Brecker. J POLITICAL SKIES ARE SEARCHED BE SEER WITH NOMINATIONS IN TWO WEEKS, CAMPUS STATES MEN WAKE UP BIG JOBS HAVE MANY WOOERS' Student Body Presidency and Emer ald Editorship Expected to Stim ulate Exciting Campaign With the annual Student Body nom inations slated for the morning as sembly of May 5, and the elections one week later, the proverbial politi cal apis mellifica, commonly known as bee, is beginning to come out of its trance, wipe the wax off its wings, limber up its stinger, and buzz about the not-unreceptive ear of the pros pective candidate. According to the Student Body Constitution, the nominations must be held on the first Wednesday, and the elections one week later. This year’s arrangement is considered fortunate, in that the date of the election is the Wednesday before Junior Week-End, and thus the campaign will be over and the smoke and carnage cleared away before the distractions of the big carnival. Last year the excite ment of Junior Week-End, coming in the midst of the political turmoil, was almost too much for the Student Body nerves. Interest always centers about the contests for the Presidency of the Student Body and the editorship of the Emerald, which are considered the prize plums on the campus political tree. Indications are that this year will see an ample supply of candidates for both offices. To step into Tommy Boylen’s shoes as President of the Associated Stu dents, no less than five candidates are being prominently mentioned. It is understood that friends of Cloyd Daw son, President of the Y. M. C. A., have launched a boom in his behalf. Lamar Tooze, President of the 1916 class in its Sophomore pilgrimage, is being groomed either for the Student Body suzerainty or for a job on the Executive Committee. A third Jun ior who is generally figured in by the dope analysts is Prentiss Brown, pres ent Moses of his class, although he has not yet announced his candidacy. Two more “dark horses” who are said to be prancing about in their box stalls are Cleve Simpkins and Merlin Bat ley. Tradition demands that there shall be a pretty fight for the Emerald ed itorship, and this year should be no exception. It is just possible that in stead of the usual duel, there will be a three or four cornered engagement, although at present only two men are known to covet the office. These are Max Sommer, the present managing editor, and Leslie Tooze, the present city editor. Wallace Eakin, who as news editor would also be in line for the chief position, has definitely re fused to run. It is hinted, however, that there may be a dark horse in the person of Fred Dunbar, former city editor of the Emerald. Maurice Hyde, editor of the 1916 Oregana, is an other comet in the local journalistic heavens. For the Executive Committee, the overflow from the presidential race ought to supply some material. Among those whose names have been whis pered in this connection are Fred Dun bar, Chet Miller, Lamar Tooze, Bob Bean and Bill Holt. For the eight elective places on the Student Council there is certain to be even greater rivalry than last year. Three men and two women from next year’s Senior class and two men and one woman from next year’s Junior class are to be elected, the Student Body President and Secretary, Editor of the Emerald and President of the (Continued on page 4.) FROSH WIN INTERGLASS MEET WITH 64 POIIITS JUNIORS GET 34 POINTS, SOPH OMORES 27, AND SEN IORS 18 FEE IS HIGH-POINT WINNER; “Bill” Is Pleased With Showing Made and Expects Still More Later in Season Floyd Westerfield. The Freshmen captured the inter class meet by taking 64 points. The Juniors were next with 34, Sopho mores 27, Seniors 18. Chester Fee, a Junior, was high point winner, making 24 points for his class. Fee won three firsts, two seconds, one third and one fourth. Sam Cook, the other half of |th<^ Junior team, took the remainder of the points for his class. Sam took first in the discus and the shot put. “Bill’ expressed himself as being well pleased with the work. So well pleased that he is going to give a medal to the best all around athlete as soon as the regular season is over. A sort of pentathlon meet will be held to see who is the best man. In the meet with Multnomah Sat urday Parsons and Clarridge will not participate*. Parsons will leave shortly for Alaska, and Clarridge is still laid up with a strained muscle. Most of the other men are rounding into shape and will be able to do things by Saturday. Although the work Saturday was a little pre-sea sonal and an improvised track was used in the hurdles and sprints, the time was good and everything points to better showings in the conning meets. The track was heavy and necessi tated the postponement of the 220 yard dash and the low hurdles un til Monday, weather permitting. The most notable development in the tryout was the tossing of the 16 pound shot 43 ft. 5 in. by Captain Sam Cook. Sam is just rounding in to form in his event, and it doesn’t look like anyone will head him this year. His next put was 43 feet, showing that he is capable of con sistent work. Chet Huggins ran a mile against time in 4:24 2-5. “Chet” promises to give all milers a run for their money and a pretty race will en sue when McClelland, of Washing ton, toes the mark with “Bill’s” dis tance star.

FACULTY MEMBER GETS ON TRAIL OF BIKE SWIPERS Professor Allen, Short-Cutting Home for Dinner, Discovers the Trag edy of a Headless Bicycle Any person having two detached bi cycle wheels in his possession is un der suspicion in the mind of Prof. E. W. Allen. One day last week as he made his way home to lunch, he came across a good frame of a woman’s bi cycle in the corner of a wheat field just to the southwest of the cemetery. This is a secluded spot, but it so hap pens that Professor Allen in the search of a short cut home to his noon meal has the habit of following a dim path along the lower edge of the ceme tery. In sooth he thought that perhaps there had been an accident and the wheels had ben taknta~~fu.lTP-rh, wheels had been taken to the shop for repair, but when a day or two later he saw the seat had disappeared and the next day even the frame had dis appeared, he came to the conclusion that the same parties that swiped An thony Jaureguy’s bike were operating in the vicinity of the campus. DANGER LEFT EUROPE TO TUNE OF SHELLS LOTTERY “FEATURE STEPPERS” HAVE WAR TALE; WILL STAY IN U. S. Mrs. August van Roosendael Taught Dancing in Antwerp ’Til War Broke Mr. and Mrs. August von Roosen dael, the dancers who supplied the feature at the Student Body lottery dance Saturday evening, will remain in Eugene for six weeks. The Roosendaels were recently mar ried in Spokane. Mrs. Roosendael conducted a dancing academy in Ant werp before coming to America. She left Antwerp the day after a Zeppe lin airship had cast 21 bombs at the Belgian headquarters and powder magazines. “It was 1:30 in the morning and the noise was terrific. I can still hear it when I think of the bombardment,” said Mrs. Roosendael. Mrs. Roosendael, with her mother and a friend of her father, was es corted through the German lines by a German Colonel who was a friend of ] the family. Several times the train which was taking them to Holland was stopped by German officers. The exit to Holland was finally made, how ever, and passage was secured on the “Philadelphia” to America. On this ship, as related by Mrs. Roosendael, the party endured many hardships and discomforts. They were forced to take rooms below decks usually used for steerage passengers, but on this trip crowded with tourists, who had to pay $80 for their passage, 30 per cent more than the steerage rates. The food was poor, and the ship, which was equipped to furnish com fort and conveniences to 500 passen gers, was loaded with 1,500 people. The scenes of excitement at Ant werp and Ostend were almost inde scribable, according to Mrs. Roosen dael’s story. When the first news of war broke, the German seaports, which were thronged with tourists, emptied the whole stream into Rot terdam, where several ships were known to be ready to sail. When sailing dates there were can celled the tourists poured over the Holland-Belgium border into Ant werp, seeking passage, and when, in turn these ships did not sail, the tide of pleasure seekers now became a myr. iad, pushed on to Ostend, augmented by refugees from every city through which they passed. At Ostend 10,000 (Continued on page 4.)
