DEM STRAUB HUS BIS SRCGESS OR TRIP •>'_r ■ : High School Students Accompany Representative of Oregon While He Talks About the “U” “A big success” is the phrase with which Dr. John Straub characterizes his trip to Eastern Oregon last week.; As a result of the Extension lectures he has been invited to deliver com mencement addresses at Drain, Wood burn and Sutherlin. The address at Sutherlin will have to be cancelled, Siowever, for it comes on the same night as the commencement of the Drain ’15 class, which he promised first. Many personal touches that dis played interest in the University and its agents were experienced by the Dean. At Drain he addressed the high school between 9:00 and 10:00 A. M. and talked a half hour with the members of the Senior class. He then had to go to Yoncalla to deliver an address between 2:00 and 3:00 that afternoon, and as there were no trains he had to walk. Dr. Straub had just got out of the building when the su perintendent called him back and asked: “Would you like to have the boys walk over with you?” * So with the boys, and girls, who followed later, the Dean set out to Yoncalla, walking a mile with four or five of the students at a time, tell ing them about the University. Yon calla is six miles from Drain. Arriv ing at Yoncalla the crowd picnicked in the basement of the high school. Dr. Straub delivered an address at 2:00 before the two student bodies. The students of both high schools then accompanied the veteran “Or egonian” to the train, where he de parted for the next lecture stop. At Wasco, after Dr. Straub’s ad dress, the double quartette of the high school got up and sang, “There’s a pretty little village.” FRATERNITY MEET IS BILLED FOR SATURDAY (Continued from page 1.) 4 nnul'ininni'i/iM WIAM Tt7Al«r» 1 ponceded to be of Varsity caliber,” said Millar McGilchrirt after the meet ing last night.

It! contains an introduction written by Governor James Withycombe. Mr. Putnam, formerly editor of the Bend Bulletin, and now Secretary to the Governor, visited on the campus and spoke at assembly last Novem ber. New bleachers constructed of steel and planning to seat 7,000 spectators are being constructed on Soldiers I Field at Harvard. An arched entrance is also being built back of home plate. This will not interfere with the early season games and .will be ready for use in the Princeton game on June 5. For the first time in the history of the chapter, juniors were elected to j Phi Beta Kappa at Princeton. Six of; tile third year men were so honored. ‘ f. II. TO SEND 15 MEN Conference to be Held at Seabeck, Washington; Lectures and Sports on Program The University of Oregon will be represented at the Pacific Northwest Student Conference, at Seabeck, Washington, June 11 to 20, by prob ably fifteen men. Six have sigi.ed up for the trip and eight others are sure of going. Seabeck is a little resort on the shore of Puget Sound, a few hours by boat from Seattle. The sound of fers facilities for swimming and boat ing and the broad beach will be the scene of athletic contests. The expense of the trip, including railroad and boat fare, board for nine days and the fee for the confer ence, will be $25.75. Each morning and evening will be devoted to attending lectures and ad dresses. Among the speakers are Dr. John H. Boyd, of Portland, Prof. Nor man H. F. Cole, Reed College, and Prese. M. A. Brannon, University of Idaho. The afternoons will be de voted largely to swimming, canoeing, tennis, indoor and outdoor baseball, volley ball, hikes and track meets. In past years Oregon has sent from five to thirteen men to the summer conference. Last year there were only five. ICE CREAM TO BE SOLD Y. M. to Resume Custom of Selling “Bricks” as Long as Wrappers Are Kept Off Campus Beginning the first of next week, the Y. M. C A will resume its hot weather custom of selling ice cream bricks The profits from the sales will probably be added to the mission ary fund of $1000 which was pledged to the support of Jim Lyman, a former Oregon student, now working in Tur key as a missionary. “We will continue the sale of the ice cream just as long as the wrap pers are kept off the campus,” said Charles Koyl, who has charge of all the Y. M. C. A. sales of edibles. “We cannot afford at this time of year, with the prospect of a large number of visitors, to allow the campus to be all littered up with papers. The ice cream was in demand last year by the students, and if they want it this year they must keep the wrap pers off the campus. In this connec tion I believe it might be a good plan to place a few small, neat paper re ceptacles, painted green, about the campus or on the trees for the wrap pers.” EXTENSION WORKERS AID PORTLAND FLY SWATTERS Material is being furnished by Dr. C. F. Hodge and Earl Kilpatrick, of the Extension Department, to the city Board of Health in Portland to help the board in its anti-fly cam paign. The campaign has reached such proportions that it has been ar ranged to distribute 20,000 traps. School children are taking part. The new Chamber of Commerce is said to be in sympathy with the movement. CHURCH’S DESIGN FOR SETTING OF PLAY CHOSEN BY GUILD From among ten unsigned draw ings recently submitted by the class in Architecture for the outdoor set ting of the commencement play, “The Shopkeeper Turned Gentleman,” the one by Walter Church was selected by the Drama Guild committee. The design, however, must be consid ered by Prof. Ellis F. Lawrence, head of the Department of Architecture, before it is finally accepted. A strict guard system as recom mended by the faculty and student committee until such a time as the students shall, of their own volition, adopt an honor system, has been unanimously endorsed by the facul ty of the University of Washington. Ralph Young, for three years full back for the Washington and Jeffer son eleven, has signed to coach De pauw University. * Oregon Club party and dance in * * the Men’s Gym, Friday evening, v * May 7.

M. Thompson, the Corresponding Secre tary. “The papers were the property of Mrs. Louise Howe Johnson, who was a subscriber. She mentioned espe cially The Christian Union, to which she subscribed for nearly 30 years, saying, ‘It was my church and all the religious food for my soul, except my Bible, which I would have for months at a time. The Union Signal has been my weekly visitor ever since it j was published.’ “Mrs. Johnson is the mother of L. H. Johnson, Steward at U. of 0., and a charter member of our W. C. T. U.” _ , NOMINATIONS ARE MADE FOR NEXT YEAR’S STUDENT OFFu'E (Continued from page 1.) C. A. Cabinet, and that he is also a member of the Student Council. That Max Sommer has proved him self the man best qualified for the editorship, was the contention of Lee Hendricks. “I do not come here as editor of the Emerald to try to dic tate who shall be my successor,” de clared Hendricks, “but only as one who has been in a position to know what the various candidates have | done to deserve the job.” Hendricks said he could not name a long list of societies of which his candidate J was a member, or offices which he had ■ held, because he was neither a “chron | ic joiner” nor an “office seeker.” In stead, tne speaxer pointed to oom mer’s high record in scholarship dur ing the past three years, and to his work as managing editor of the Em erald. “In considering the qualifica tions of a candidate for this position, we don’t care how he parts his hair or whether he dances the Lulu-Fado,” was one of the speaker’s statements. “We want a man who will go down into the shop, roll up his sleeves to the shoulders, wallow in the grime and ink, wrestle with the printers, and put out a paper three times a week which shall represent the best i brains and sentiment and pep in the | Student Body.” Hendricks emphasized that if his candidate were elected, the Student Body should have a paper which re flected their sentiment, and not that of the faculty. The only nominee for the office of Vice President was Harry Kuck, of The Dalles, whose name was intro duced by Bert Jerard. The latter told of Kuck’s work as sporting editor of the Emerald, as a member of the bas ketball squad for three years, and as a member of the Inter-Fraternity Athletic Association for two years. Eva Brock, Marie Churchill and Louise Bailey were nominated for the position of Secretary of the Student Body by Rex Kay, C. C. Baker and Anthony Jaureguy, each of whom ex { plained why, in his opinion, his candi date had proved her fitness for the place. Wallace Eakin and Fred Dunbar were nominated by James Donald and Marsh Goodwin as members of the Executive Committee of the Student Body. For member of the Athletic Coun cil, Anson Cornell, Lyle Bigbee, Sam Cook and Bill Tuerck were, in suc cession, nominated by Victor Morris, Prentiss Brown, Dean Crowell and Marsh Goodwin. Three Senior members for the Stu dent Council are to be elected, and the nominees for these positions were Bothwell Avison, Don Orput and Cleveland Simpkins, who were laud ' ed in turn by Earl Blackaby, Boyce , Fenton and James Donald. The names of Genevieve Shaver and Arvilla Beckwith were presented j for Senior members of the Student i Council by Marsh Goodwin and Lee Hendricks, and that of Mildred ; Broughton for Junior woman mem ber of the same body by James Don ald. Fred Kiddle was nominated by Sam Michael as a Junior member of the Student Council.
