U. OF I. GETS CHAPTER
Zeta Delta Becomes Sigma Nu and
Merlin Battey-Leaves for Cere
monies Soon Due
The petition of Zeta Delta, a local
fraternity at the University of Ida
ho, for an Idaho chapter of Sigma
Nu has been granted and installation
will be held Friday and Saturday of
this week. Frank Allen, of Spokane,
Inspector of the tenth division, will
have charge of the installation cere
monies.
Prof. George O’Donnell, of the Ger
man Department, an alumnus of the
University of Idaho, is a member of
Zeta Delta and was ono of the char
ter members when it was organized
four years ago. He will be unable
to go back for initiation with the
other alumni, owing to the end of
th« University term being so near.
Merlin Batley, delegate from the Or
egon chapter of Sigma Nu, left on
Wednesday morning to be in atten
dance.
The tenth division comprises the
states of Washington, Oregon, Mon
tana end Idaho. A chapter was in
stalled at the University of Wash
ington in 1890, at the University of
Oregon in 1900, at the Washington
State College in 1905, and at the Uni
versity of Montana in 1910. This is
the thirty-seventh state entered l.r
Sigma Nu and makes the seventy
seeond chapter. It is also the fourth
aational fraternity at Idaho.
“JOT” WILL BE PLATED
Guild Players Will Give An Out
door Production At the Next
Commonwealth Conference.
By Mandell Weiss.
Work and play will be intermingled
at the seventh annual Commonwealth
Conference, which will be held on the
campus May 27 and 28. The work
will consist in the crystallization of
Oregon’s vital problems. The play
will be “Joy,” by William Galswor
thy, to be presented out of doors by
the Guild players Friday afternoon.
This is one of the many entertain
ments that have been provided for
the visiting delegates to the Confer
ence.
“Joy” is a play on the personal pr ■>
noun. In it each character sees life
from a personal standpoint. One of
the characters, “Peachey,” an old gov
erness who is also acting in the ca
pacity of an advisor to the others,!
sees and points out to one after an
other “the special case.” “Oh, no!
No one was ever in love before. This
is a special case,” according to the
aged dame.
Professor A. F. Reddie, who is di
recting the play, describes it as being
Galworthy’s most delightful hit of
work. “He was in a skipping humor
when he conceived it, and the effect j
is like the setting of Shakespeare’s i
Midsummer Night’s Dream. It is a
delicate fantasy—the offset of the
sorng man and woman love. There
is a purity and sweetness about it
which is irresistible and cannot help
but make one feel better and more
optimistic,” comments Professor Red-1
die.
T^ie cast, which has been working!
assiduously on the play for month',
includes tho following:
Mrs. Hope—Alta Aikens.
Colonel Hope—Mandell Weiss|
Miss Boech, "Peachey*’- Mina Fer
guson.
“Joy” Gwyn—Ruth McLean.
Dick Merton—Homer Kellems.
Lctty—Marjorie McGuire.
Molly Gwyn—Marian Tuttle.
Maurice Lever—Fred Hardesty.
CANOEISTS ARE BARRED
The storm sewer on Agate street
has proved to be too popular a place
for canoeists, hence this trysting place
will be barred hereafter. This morn-1
ing city officials had the mouth meas
ured preparatory to placing bars
across.
An organization has been perfected
among certain Nebraska University
men to he known as the “Dandelion
Club.” The purpose of the organiza
tion is to develop and encourage the
sending of dandelions in place of ex
pensive hot-house flowers to be wo-.a
by young ladies at formal parties.
FLIP OF COIN OECIDES
Last Member of Tennis Team Is
Picked In a Rather
Unusual Way.
“What will you have, Tubby, heads
or tails?”
“Tails.”
Kenneth Moores flipped the coin and
Glenn Wheeler, otherwise “Tubby,”
won the toss to decide which of the
two was to make the last member of
the tennis team which will represent
Oregon at the tennis tournament to
be held in Seattle at the University
of Washington next Friday and Sat
urday.
Owing to adverse weather condi
tions of late, it was impossible to pick
the team through the process of elim
ination sets, so at a meeting of the
squad Tuesday night the best play
ers were voted upon. Church and
Noren were selected and the third
place lay between Kenneth Moores
and Glen Wheeler. A icoin was al
lowed to decide it.
It is hard to tell what chances the
Oregon team has this year. The men
are new and are yet to be tried in a
gruelling intercellegiate set. On the
other hand the Washington team is
composed of veterans. The same men
who won the doubles championship
last spring have their places. Five
matches are to be played, three sin
gles and two doubles.
ATTITUDE TOWARD
UNIVERSITY IS CHANGING
(Continued from Page 1)
be hoped that the next few years will
see still further progress. The Uni
versity needs its own printing plant
and this, with other improvements,
will doubtless be forthcoming in the
not distant future.
In the meantime, students, faculty
and alumni should be brought to a
proper appreciation of The Emerald
and take a conscious pride in its de
velopment. It is a splendid repre
sentative of the University, and is a
valuable asset to the Student Body in
offering a field of activity with the
often rare combination of a student
activity with an opportunity for real,
practical endeavor.
RALPH D. MOORES.
At the hour of five tomorrow seven
newspaper men of the state and two
University of Oregon undergraduates
will take their places among the
members of Sigma Delta Chi, the na
tional journalistic fraternity.
The appearance of Harold Ham
street and Leigh Swinson on the cam
pus today attired in dress suits was a
preliminary to the ceremonies of Fri
day. The ritual will be given in the
C. E. building and will be followed
by a banquet in honor of the new
members at the Hotel Osburn.
Following the policy of the frater
nity in which they aim to admit to
membership men engaged in news
paper work, rather than undergradu
ates, they have elected the following
men:
E. N. Blythe, ’02. Mr. Blythe is at
present head of the copy desk of the
Oregonian. Ho is the son of Samuel
G. Blythe, the well known writer 01
the staff of the Saturday Evening
Post.
Dean Collins, B. A. 1010, M. A.
1911. Dean is the “Eugene Field”
of the Oregonian force. He conducts
the Crawfish column of the paper, be
sides the humorous end of the Sunday
odition. While in the University he
was editor of the Oregon Monthly,
and was selected ns the University’s
candidate for the Rhodes scholarship.
George Palmer Putnam. Mr. Put
nam holds degrees from Harvard and
University of California. He is ’he
owner of the Bend Bulletin and is
Secretary to Governor Withycombe.
He is a son of George H. Putnam, of
the publishing firm of G. H. Putnam’s
Sons.
Herbert Campbell, attended the Uni.
versity for three years, but as the re
sult of a little disagreement with one
of the faculty, left in 1902. Since
then he has been on the staff of sev
eral papers. Lately he held the po
sition of city editor on the Baker
Herald, and is now on the copy desk
of the Oregonian.
W. A. Dill, ’07, is the editor of the
Springfield News. During his Univer
sity career he paid his way by work
ing on the Eugene Register, later be
coming city editor of that paper.
Ralph Moores was editor of the Em
erald in 1910 and is at present pub
licity manager for the Salem Commer
cial Club.
HE STILL 11 MING
Koyl Cups are to Be Awarded at
the Committee Meeting
Next Friday.
Twelve men are still in the running
for the Koyl cup, which will be award
ed to the Junior who is adjudged to
have attained the highest all around
development during his three ye*..s
residence at the University. The
award will be made at a meeting Fri
day by a committee composed of Dr.
John Straub, Edmund S. Conklin,
Eric W. Allen, William M. Smith, C.
H. Edmundson and Charles Koyl as
ex-officio member.
The men who have been picked for
the final selection are: Leslie Tooze,
Cloyd Dawson, Prentiss Brown, Rob
ert Prosser, Lamar Tooze, Merlin
Batley, Anse Cornell, Charles Collier,
Chester Fee, William Holt, Chester
Miller and Walter Church.
The award is made by grading the
men on the following five counts, each
of which counts five points: Charac
ter, personality, scholarship, physique,
and social standing.
The trophy, which was held by
Bert Lombard this past year, was do
nated by Charles Koyl. It was his
idea to give a trophy which would
recognize all around development.
Plenty of recognition was, he believed,
already given those who partook in
single activities. The main objective
of the college course is character de
velopment, and upon that basis ths
cup is awarded.
After Koyl leaves this summer the
awarding of the cup will be placed
in the hands of his successor.
WRITING IS ON INCREASE
More Short Stories and Poetry are
B€ing Composed, Thacher
Comments.
Literary writing in quantities ten
times greater than last year is being
produced by the students at the Uni
versity of Oregon this year, as em
bodied in a brief review made by
Professor F. G. Thacher, head of the
English Department, ^)f the year’s ac
complishments.
The activity in writing is centered
about the short story and versification
classes, and the scope of the work has
been wide. Classical and current
short stories have received emphasis;
the writing of five each semester has
been required. Beyond the require
ments the students have exhibited a
real interest, and the result has been
several short stories for actual use
in magazines, says Professor Thach
er.
Usable poetry is coming from the
seven members of the versification
class.
A study of the editorial policy nnd
fiction needs of various magazines has
been made by the short story class
in order to enable the aspiring mem
bers to judge better where to send
their manuscripts.
Ye Tabard Inn, a club composed of
15 authors in the University, is de
clared to be the outcome of short sto
ry writing.
Chester Moores, T2, is the automo
bile editor of the Oregonian. He ed
ited the 1912 Oregana.
Harold Humstreet and Leigh Sv. in
son are both Sophomores in the Scv ol
of Journalism.
Among the alumni members of the
fraternity who will be present at the
initiation are Jessup Strang, who left
at the end of the first semester this
year, Frank'in Alien, city editor of
The Guard, nnd Harold Young, ’14
On account of the postponement of
