STUDENTS WILL VOTE OH TWO AMENDMENTS BY-LAWS MUST BE SUSPENDED IN ORDER THAT CHANGES MAY BE MADE Compulsory Class Tax and Provision to Make President Member of Athletic Council Proposed Two amendments to the Constitu tion, one providing for the collection of class taxes by the Registrar, and the other making the President of the Student Body a member of the Ath letic Council, will be introduced at the farewell Student Body meeting to be held Wednesday, June 2,‘‘According to a statement made by President Tom Boylen this morning. In order to submit these amend ments, the By-Laws will first have to be suspended by a two-thirds vote, for the Constitution provides that any amendment to the Constitution must be submitted at a regular meeting, and the one called for Wednesday is u special meeting. The necessary vote for suspension, however, will probably be given, President Boylen said. “I have talked with President Camp, bell in regard to the Registrar’s col lecting the class dues at the first of the year,” Boylen added, “and he says that it is a very, very practical thing, and that the money could easi ly be collected through the Adminis tration offices, if the students make such a request.” Leslie Tooze is chairman of the com mittee appointed to draw up the amendment regarding class taxes. Pe ter Crockett and Anthony Jaureguy constitute the other members. The other amendment, that making the President of the Student Body a member of the Athletic Council, seems to have a fair show of being passed. “I have talked over this amendment with about fifteen or twenty people about the campus and have not met with a single bit of opposition,” said President Boylen. Merlin Batley, Cloyd Dawson and Leslie Tooze are the members of the second committee. “This being the last Student Body meeting, it is absolutely necessary that the amendment relating to class taxes be passed at this time,” con tinued Boylen. “Otherwise it would not be in force until the fall of the year after next.” FEE VAULTS HIGHEST, BUT WASHINGTON WINS, (Continued from Page 1.) vault off the dead-lock for second honors. The bar was left at 11 feet 6 inches; both men cleared it. Then it was shoved up to 11 feet 9 inches. “Chet” gripped the pole and grit ted his teeth. A dash, a leap—way up!, Over! The Oregon man skimmed the| bamboo gracefully. But it was too late to win the event. At that, “Chet” took more points in the meet than any other partici pant, amassing a total of 13, and that without taking a single first place. Deprived of his services, Oregon would have been beaten by 0. A. C. Fee was not the only athlete who was jilted by Dame Fortune during the afternoon. The meet was full of coincidences. For instance, “Cotton” Nelson owes the fact that he was beaten in the half by Massey, of Idaho, to his optimism. 'I he Scandinavian runner thought he had the race won by a mile, and he loafed home, allowing the Gem State runner to spurt and shade him out at tho tape. The last event was the discus. Ed munds, the big Washington weight tosser, who recently established a new intercollegiate record in the event, was picked as the winner. However, the Washington team was forced to decamp in double quick time to catch their train for Seattle. Accordingly Edmunds did not wait his turn, but I took his three throws in succession, and did not stay to see whether any one would outheave him. Two of Edmunds’ tosses went over 134 feet, which would easily take most conference meets. How ever, Cole, of the Aggies, outdid* him self, and pegged out the Grecian pan cake 137 feet 5 inches. Meanwhile, Edmunds was squirming into his cit ! izen’s clothes as he rushed for the ! train. Not until the Washington team reached Portland did he learn by wire that he had been beaten. The O. A. C. armory proved too small for Sam Cook in the javelin throw. The Oregon captain tried to pierce the roof of the buildinfl, and the result was that he did not place in tho event. Coach Cavanough, of Dartmouth, are to play baseball this spring for the first time in the history of the in stitution. Women of Stanford will hold an interclass meet to determine class championships in basketball, tennis, baseball, fencing, lowing and canoe ing. l*l\ HUTS POST l\ "OM \R, T1IKTKNTM AKKIP' The most spectacular attraction that has graced our stage in several sea sons will come to the Eugene Thea tre for one night, Friday, June 4, when Guy Hates Pi st and his supeib company of nearly one hundred will appear in “Omar, the Tentmaker,” a sumptuous Persian love play by Rich iii'il Wit It oil Tully, author of "The Hird of Paradise.” Some of the elaborate settings realistcally depict an enchant ing rose-bowered garden in old Per sia; the crooked, huddled streets and silk-laden bazaars of the anciqent city of Naishapur, and the imposing Hall of Justice in the Vizier's palace. Bill’s 1913 Star Shines In East B VERE WINDNAGLE Vere Windnagle, former Oregon track star, is showing his old-time brilliancy as a member of the Cornell University team, one of the strongest in the country. Last year Windnagle was unable to represent Cornell in the intercolle giate meets, on account of the first year ineligibility rule. However, he cleaned up all his events in his Fresh man meets. This year the tow-headed Oregoni an has been one of the sensations of the Eastern circuit. In the Cornell Harvard duel a few weeks ago he won the mile in 4:21. Last Saturday, in the engagement with Pennsylvania, he was beaten by two feet by Ted Meredith, the Penn wizard. Meredith, it will be remembered, was America’s best middle distance man in the Olym pic games in Stockholm. While at Oregon two years ago Windnagle excelled at every distance from the quarter to the three and one half mile cross country. He held the local record in the quarter of 50 1-5 seconds until “String” Loucks shaved a second off of it last year. “Windy” still holds the record for the cross country course. He also holds the Northwest “prep” record in the half mile of 1:56 4-5. Hayward’s former pupil will return to Portland after the end of the spring semester, which will be in a few days, and he will run under the colors of the Multnomah Athletic Club in the summer’s game at the Panama-Pacific Exposition.

ADMISSION Adults 1 Oc, Children 5c -—.—-4 SIGMA CHI TO INVEST $2,000 IN IMPROVEMENTS Improvements to the extent of $2,000 are to be made in the Sigma Chi house this summer. The plans have been laid out and will include an extension to the bac*. of the struc ture allowing for two guest apart ments. The dining room will be en arged by about ten feet, showers will be installed in newly tiled bath-rooms and a general renovation in the line of painting has been decided upon. When Freshmen of Harvard were questioned concerning whether they! preferred beer or soft drinks, 226 of the first year class designated beer as their choice. There were 181 who favored non-alcoholic beverages. Near ly half of the class did not vote. Harvard has institqted a committee to whom all professors are to report any unusually poor exhibition of Eng lish made by students in their classes when writing on an exam. These men, who seem to be so adept at forget ting everything that Freshman Eng lish ever taught them, will be re quired to take additional courses. The Freshmen at Tufts are now re quired to take a course in modern dancing instead of the usual calis thenics. By a unanimous vote of the Uni versity council, football has been re vived At Columbia for a trial of three years. > MILLINERY PARLORS MRS.
