OREGON OFFICIAL ORGAN EMERAL OF STUDENT BODY VOL. 17. EUGENE, OREGON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1916. NO. 54. BLUE SKIES FAVOR THE LEMON YELLOW NINE Captain Anse Cornell Shows Up for Practice. Thirty Others Are Warming Up. FIRST GAME A MONTH OFF Pre-Season Dope Favors Mc Lean, Grebe, Cornell and Maison on Infield Berths. Baseball prospects are looming bright er every evening as Coach Bezdek puts ■the boys through the paces. Now that the class basketball series is over and the frosh neophytes have survived the recent fraternity initiation ordeals, sev eral new faces have appeared on the dia mond. About 30 men are turning out nightly for the team. Captain Anse Cornell put on his spikes for the first time this season in Tues day morning’s practice session. Anse has been working in a downtown store, but will be out regularly from now on. He ought to have a great season provid ing the old injury to his knee does not bother him. Walt Grebe arrived on the campus Wednesday morning after a two weeks’ sojourn with his parents in Portland. Walt is entirely recovered from his re cent attack of erysipelas, and is anxious to put on a baseball uniform. However, it will be some time before he can exert himself. Pre-season dope favors McLean, Grebe, Cornell and Maison to compose the var sity infield. Cornell and Grebe, barring injuries, are fixtures at short and sec ond. Both McLean and Maison are somewhat inexperienced but are learning fast. Coach Bezdek expects to have the squad in good condition before many days. Beal work will commence next week. At this time last year the team had not turned out for practice. The add ed two weeks of practice and a continu ance of the warm weather should get the varsity in fine physical shape to meet the conference teams. The first games of the season are more than a month off. Oregon plays the Chemawa Indians in Eugene on March 31 and April 1. The following week-end will see the University of Washington in a two game series with the lemon-yellow. Owing to the lack of money in the student body treasury there will be no practice games prior to those already schedule. I GRAPPLERS WILL VIE 0. A. C.

SOPHOMORE MEMBER “Would Be Figurehead,” Ob jects One Side; “Means Con tinuous Policy,” Says Other. The student council lust night ap pointed Harry Kuck and Marie Churchill to draw up a constitutional amendment providing for one sophomore member. This will afford a definite basis for dis cussion of whether this class shall or shall not be represented in the council. Genevieve Shaver suggested that, the underclass member might thus get into training, and serve on the council two or three years. Max Sommer advocated the plan. “Need Continuity Policy.’’ . “We need a continuity of policy,” he said. “We need not have made some of the mistakes of the past if the council had had some experienced members, and some who knew what ln.d been done the previous year.” Fred Kiddle and Echo Zahl are oppos ed to the admission of a sophomore to the council. "The seniors do the real business of the council. A sophomore would be a mere figurehead,” asserted Kiddle. Lamar Tooze argued, however, that a sophomore would at least voice the opin ion of the underclasses. “And they con stitute at least three-fifths of the stu dent body,” he said. “They pay their eight dollar tax just like the rest of us, too.” Committee Is Appointed. A committee consisting of Max Som mer, Claire Raley, Genevieve Shaver, Fred Kiddle and Echo Zahl was appoint ed to look into the problem of over organization on the campus and report later. Max Sommer and Karl Recke are to draw up an amendment to the constitu tion providing for a yell leader's emblem and an advisory council for the yell lead er. This amendment also will be report ed later. The next meeting, on March 8, will be devoted to discussion of junior week-end, and to a report from the committee on the co-operative gtore. CLUB TO TOUR AGAIN Men’s Glee Will Make Coos Bay Trip in April, Says Tooze; 15 New Men Pet “0.” The men's glee club will probably make a trip to the Coos Bay country during April vacation, according to Les lie Tooze, manager. Present plans include six concerts, at Florence, Gardiner, Marshfield, Myrtle Point, Coquille and Bandon. The Will amette Pacific is completed to within five miles of Florence and trains will probably be running there by April. Fifteen Win “0’s.” Fifteen new members of the glee club won their “O” this year by fulfilling the requirements of the club and by making the eastern Oregon trip. They are: Wal ter Grebe, Harold Hamstreet, Harold Humbert, Carl Nelson, William Morrison, Iver Ross, John Black, Roy Stephens, John I)olph, Earl Fleischman, I>owis Bond, Everett George, Ilo-Sheng Huang, Raymond Burns and C. B. Corbitt. Manager Tooze will receive a sweater instead of an “O” due 'to the new ruling that managers of student activities will be awarded plain sweaters instead of let ters. There is some dissatisfaction among the men with the size of the glee club “O” and a smaller pin is being consider ed for next year. Professor R. II. Ly man distributed the little gold emblems last week. The glee club was this year composed of nearly all new men. Only five of the I lettered singers remaining from last year. FASHIONS OF 50 YEARS ARE SEEN IN ONE HOUR Y. W .C. A. Presents Pageant in Villard Wednesday as Part of Jubilee Celebration. I Fashions of 50 years ago were in vogue for an hour yesterday morning, faring the production of the Y. AY. C. |V. pageant in A'illnrd. It seemed like a pro fession of crinolines, hoop-skirts, bo leroes, ruffles, and pretty girls moving in slow succession from a vague some where in 1 Stitt to the place and time of the present. j Many of the gowns, truly striking in their color and texture, were lent for this occasion by F.ugcnc women, who saw themselves as in a mirror, from their places in the crowded hall. One of the foreign costumes, warn by Ethel \Vail:e, came from the Philippines and is the property of Mrs. Warren 1). Smith. The Y. AA\ C. A. lias no organization iu ti^ie Philippines as yet. Pageant Not all External Boauty. Put the pageant was not all external beauty. There was a story running through the procession from the work ing giirls in the early history of the asso ciation—the girls who made this society possible—to the group of sorority wom en, who completed the lino. In 1806 some women met to organize a club for the protection and help of self-supporting mill and factory women. Year by year this organization grew, broadened, and undertook new phases of Christian ser vice. The body of the pageant (represented the groups of people touched by the association work—the athletic, foreign, working, and college girls. There was a group of very little girls, too, who came to hear stories and to take advantage of the many helpful and instructive amuse ments provided in every association building for the children. Last Portion Devoted to Present , The last portion of the pageant was lovoted to the present and showed the place of A’. AV. in the college, social, iternry, and working life of the Tweu rieth century girl. It was an altogether pleasing ending and brought the audience mck to the present without the feeling if a sudden drop from an almost fin known period to the real “now.” Much of the success of the whole af fair is due to the work of Juanita AA^il kins, ns the Girl of 1866, and to Emma Wootten, the Girl of 1916. Rex Campaign Nets $300; Clytie Hall Wins First Prize; Townsfolk Respond. Approximately 2,000 tickets— worth—were Hold in the Hex theatre campaign, which had been conducted ! since Saturday noon and which cloned last night. This means $150 toward the woman's building fund. Without offib'al counts having been made, indications are that Clytie Hall has won first prize. The second prize will go to either Louise Bdiley or Bernice Lucas. j Townspeople Are Generous. Townsfolk as well as TTniversity peo ple have been most generous and eager to make the project, first suggested1 to Regent Irene II. Gerlinger, by Manager McDonald, of the Hex, a success. Many, unable to go, bought tickets just to “hlelp the cause.” Mrs. Charlotte Zieber, un able to leave her chair, is wearing one of the legends “I Am Helping to Build the Women’s Building, Are You?” A statewide campaign of the Sjort waged here will probably be conducted by some moving picture house in every city within a short time. Many managers have written to Mr. McDonald, express ing approval and requesting information. Twelve Seek “Key” Charter Local Phi Beta Kappas Send’ Petition to National: 12 Members at Oregon. A petition will go in this week from the University of Oregon to the Semite and council of the united chapters of Phi Beta Kappa asking them to con aider establishing a chapter at Kugene The senate meets March 10 and at this meeting the petition will be con sidered. Should tin- senate pass favor ably on the application, the council will give it final consideration in September. "Oregon has never petitioned for a chapter of l’hi Beta Kappa before,” said Dr. K. (Mark, professor of history. "Most schools have to make several ap plications before they are granted a charter but I think we have a van strong case.” There are 85 chapters of I’hi Beta Kappa, (tne of the youngest is the chap ter at the University of Washington. The application for this chapter wis first sent in 1007 and the chapter was not established until 1013, If the general custom is followed, the only qualification for election to the so defy will be high grades. It is probable that all students receiving the highest two honors will be eligible and all those who have received these honors since the establishing of the new grading sys tem at the University may be elected. Members of I’hi Beta Kappa in the faculty are: Dr. ltobert Carlton Clark, Dr. Her man A. Clark, Dr. Timothy (Moran, M. II. Douglass, Mrs. Mable Holmes Par sons. Dr. Joseph Schafer, Dr. Warren D. Smith, Dr. Hoy M. Winger, Professor F. L. Stetson, Professor O. F. Stafford, Dr. W. P. Boynton and Mrs. Ida F.l liott Allen.

"You see,” he says, "wo have some money— quite a lot of money—nnd we're going to spend it. And of course there will V the water fete, as well as the dance, and some men of artistic ability are go ing to paint the ‘O’. We haven’t for gotten the parade that formally opens junior week-end, either.” Stator is General Chairman. Wayne Stater is genernl chairman in charge of the Prom. The committee un der his direction are as follows: Decorations—Bob Langley, Fred Kid dle, Louise Alien, Ruth Fraley, Karl Heeko, Joe Bell, Roland Geary, Mni'.y Chambers, Mary Alice Hill, Charlie Newcastle, and Maurice Hyde. Patrons nnd patronesses Jennie Hug gins, Dorothy Downard, Ruth Roche, Margaret Hawkins, Eululie Crosby. Punch—Helen Currey, Leone Wil liams, Ruth Lawrence, Russell Ralston, Martha Beer.

The first call for Yale crew candidates resulted in the attendance of about 100 university crew men and 70 freshman. REAL, LIVE MONKEY WILL ALSO ENTERTAIN Special Dancing to Be Featured in '“Taming of the . Shrew.” PLAY STAGED IN GUILD HALL Shakespeax-ian Production Will Have Special Scenery With Colored Lighting Effects. Tho Tanyng of the Shrew to he given in (iuihl hall on the evenings of Frida v and Saturday of this week bids fair to he the most distinctive and spectacular performance of the year. All sorts of surprises have been promised in the pro duction. A live monkey and special dancing directed h.v Miss Goldsmith and Miss Under will play no mean part in securing tlile general effect desired. The play will he costumed somewhat earlier than the Kliznbethnn period in.I beautiful eplor and lighting effects will he fenturei} throughout. Stage Settings Featured. Stage settings will also he featured. The scenery for the “Shrew” is being worked opt by William Rurgnrd and John Beekett. They plan to make the settings suggestive rather than realistic. Curtains with vnri-colored lights arc to lie used almost exclusively. It is unnecessary to introduce the "Taming of the Shrew” to a University audience. Petruchio’s “will you, nil you, I will marry you” method of wooing Katherine, and her consequent subjuga tion is as well known ns Lady Macbeth’s sleep-walking scene or Portia’s plea for mercy. And for the caste of the play, both time and space prevent even the mention of all the more important parts. Petruehio is a favorite role of Mr. Ileddie's, and he plays the part with satisfying vim and vigor. Much may he expected, too, of Rosalind Hates’ work as Katharine, for she has played minor roles with! Xothern and Marlowe and can he collided upon for some finished work. Critic^’ Comments Favorable. Trustworthy critics have also com mented vefy favorably upon Marion Tut tle’s work. She plays the part of the younger daughter, Rianea, with a feel ing and fervor which is unusual in an amateur interpretation. The cant for the “Taming of the Shrew” is.as follows: Fruit Sellers.Misses Hurd, Law rence | and McLaren. Citizens.Messrs. Nipper, Thomp son and Shnffner and Misses Dunn, Campbell and Conklin.
