    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.

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.

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.

SIGMA CHI TO INVEST
$2,000 IN IMPROVEMENTS
Improvements to the extent of
$2,000 are to be made in the Sigma

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

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. >
