EFFECTIVE JUNIOR BOAT
LEADS THE PROCESSION
Dean Ehrmann Much Impressed
by Originality and Charm of
Ideas Displayed.
In spite of old “Jupc’s” throats, the
annual Junior Week-end canoe fete went
off with a zip and a bang at the ap
pointed hou=*, for Tbnbpday evening was
clear. Crowds of students and towns
people flocked to the brilliantly-lighted
raceway to witness the display of floats
entered by the various fraternities,
sororities and classes on the campus
Although the large flour de lis float,
entered by Chi Omega, overturned, and
Gladys Hollingsworth, as Joan of Arc,
in the heart of the flower of France
had to be T'scued from the mill race
waters, the representation was judged
the most artistic, and awarded first
place. “Bib” Carl, a Phi Delta Theta
freshman, who was steering the canoe,
plunged into the water, saved Gladys,
armor, sword and all. Boswell Dosch,
one of the judges, said, “The minute the
searchlight was thrown on the Chi
Omega float we could see that original
ity, spirit of patriotism, and consistency
of ‘growing out of the canoe, our three
standards for judging, had been carried
out beautifully.”
It is the second time in succession
that Chi Omega has v/on the canoe fete
prize. Last year they were awarded the
cup and $11. but this year no money
was given with the cup.
The other judges were Dean Louise
Ehrmann and Mrs. John Lender.
Honorable mention was given Kappa.
Alpha Theta, who entered a silvery blue
half-moon, with the Gibson girl in the
cup of the star-rimmed crescent. Fur
ther mention was awarded to I’hi Delta
Theta, who represented a formidable
gray American submarine.
The junior class canoe came first
This was in the form of a lnrge red
flower, surrounded by greens, in the
midst of the petals of the floor stood
the junior canoe feto cup.
Beta Theta Pi entered a clever sum
mer porch. A white lattice framework,
intertwined with greens, formed a serai
eirele. and within were rustic benches
and chairs. In the center was ft large
victrola—a good camouflage for the
Beta quartet, who were singing Oregon
songs.
Hendricks Hall entered a goddess of
liberty Around the base of the statue
the army, navy. Bed Cross and A. W.
A. were represented.
Dean Ehrmann, who has never wit
nessed the canoe fete before, said: "I
how will also shoot their arrows across
the University archery field at 8:80, and
the swimmers will ply their strikes as
best they can to win the bathing suit
offered as a prize to the host swimmer.
At It o’clock the athletic women on
the campus and their friends will go to
the gills' baseball field to watch the clos
ing game be'weon the teams winning out
iic the series to lie played before the day
of the meet. William Hayward, athletic
[trainer at the University, has given a
I cup. which 's to he presented to the i
winning team.

eiim JUNE 1/
Faculty Decides Not to Set
Time ofcCommencement.
Speaker Is Unable to Arrive
Before Date Previously
Planned.
Commencement exercises will be held
ns originally scheduled, Monday morn
ing at eleven, June 17, the faculty de
cided in a special meeting Thursday
afternoon.
A committee from the senior class,
James Sheehy and Walter Myers, met
with the faculty and atfked that com
mencement he moved a week ahead, but
this was not granted because it could
not be arranged. One of the prin
cipal reasons for not making the change
was that the commencement speaker
could not arrange to come on the ear
lier date.
The faculty at n previous meeting,
thinking that the seniors wanted com.
mencement exercises held on Sunday,
June 16, moved them ahead, but now
have changed them back to Monday,
June 17.

Many eves lingered there, seeing other
stars appear through a mist, to take
their places. For many a man who went
in the fountain or built walks yesterday,
a star will answer next year.
Not a few brave, gayly colored sweat
ers looked toward that same flag as they
passed to the gym to serve or to join
the visiting throngs, and faltered an in
stant at the quick vision of all that it
stands for and all that it may mean.
There were many vacant places and faces i
missing in the line of hungry workmen.
And yet it is not possible to say that
there was anything of sadness in yester
day. It was the same old Oregon—with j
a deeper realisation of the meaning of j
life, of love and of loyalty. She has given 1
more than OQ men to the colors al- -
ready; she will give more and more in the
coming months—give to the Inst man if
necessary.
More than that, she has given her sons
that steadfast determination, that eii
bodiment of “Oregon Spirit,” which i
so integral a part of herself; she ha
given them the courage which mean
_
- success, and she has given them mem
? ories and friends to cherish. For always
s there has been happiness at Oregon,
s And always there will be.
