NO. 61
CASH COMES
FOR BUILDING
Nearly $6,000 Added Within Few
Days; First $50,000 Is
Now in Sight
W. B. AYER SENDS $2,000
Others Contribute Freely; Promoters
Hope for $200,000 Edifice
by Fall of 1920
Actual cash for the Woman's build
ing was increased $2,000 when W; B.
Ayer, who lately retired as federal
food administrator for the state of Or
egon, sent a check to the business of
fice of the University. This is the
largest subscription that has been
made toward the fund since the $3,000
donation by the D. P. Thompson estate
of Portland.
Practically all of the subscriptions
have been paid and money has been
pouring into the business office at a
very gratifying rate, according to the
committee in charge. The city of Eu
gene has raised $20,000, and the other
$5,000 is already virtually assured by
guarantors who are expected to be re
imbursed by a city bond issue, an
nounces the committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce.
Other large subscriptions have been
paid in cash by Mrs. Mrs. M. H. Jew
ett, of Eugene, $1,000; Eugene Fort
nightly club, $500; Eugene Association
of Collegiate Alumnae, $500; Mrs. S.
H. Friendly and daughters, $500; Mrs.
Caroline Bensen Umander, lister of
Mrs. Alice Benson Beach, of Portland,
$100; Ben Sheldon, a business man of
• Medford, $50; Portland Association of
. Collegiate Alumnae, $50; the Woman’s
Research club, of Portland, $500; Mrs.
Ester Jobes, of Portland, $100; and
President and Mrs. Campbell, $400 on
their $1,000 subscription.
Although the committee from the
Eugene Chamber of Commerce has not
raised in cash $25,000, they have al
most $20,000. The city of Eugene is
asked to raise the remaining $5,000 by
a bond issue to be voted June 3. In
case the issue is not voted sufficient
guarantees have been made by private
citizens to insure the money.
The total of money received for the
fund during the last few days is nearly
$6,000, exclusive of a considerable
amount not yet reported in the hands
of the Chamber of Commerce commit
tee.
It is the hope of the promoters of
the building project to have the first
$50,000 ready early in the summer.
This sum, under the provisions of the
appropriation, will be matched by an
equal amount from the state treasury.
Work can then be satrted on the build
ing, with half of the entire $200,000 in
hand. The rest of the fund is expected
to roll in fast from contributions from
other parts of the state, and it is the
hope of those interested that the build
ing ean be completed in time for oc
cupancy at the opening of the fall
term in 1920.
200 SPECIMENS ARE GIFT
Qregon Natural History Collection Pre
sented to University
The collection of 200 mounted speci
mens of Oregon natural history, pre
sented to the University of Oregon by
Dr. A. G. Prill, of Scio, is being install
ed today in the cases made for it on
the third floor of Deady hall.
The collection, which will be known
as the Prill collection of the depart
ment of zoology museum, comes as an
addition to the 2700 specimens already
on hand in the zoology museum. None
of these specimens are mounted, owing
to lack of funds, while the Prill col
lection is.
The specimens are divided into three
parts; the Oregon birds and mammals;
shells collected from foreign lands; and
an ethnological collection made up of
relics of the early Oregon Indians.
Dr. Prill, who is a collector of long
experience, holds permits from both the
state and federal governments. He has
been collecting since 1880 and began
the collection of Oregon birds in 1900.
He is also interested in bird photo
graphy.
Dr. Prill has written some interesting
accounts of his bird observations and
Of his trips which have been published
in the “Museum” and in the “Os
prey” two bird publications. He in
tends to continue his work and to ob
tain still further specimens.
Sh-h! It’s a Secret
April Frolic Plans
Ignore Masculines
Plans for the big manless event of
the year are under way and while of
course, everything concerning the pro
gram is shrouded in deepest mystery,
hints that have leaked out indicate an
evening of more than usual fun on
April 12, the date for the April frolic.
Mrs. A. B. Sweetser, Mrs. W. M.
Case and Miss Mary Perkins will award
the prizes for the most original and
clever stunts and costumes.
The clowns, goblins, fairies, rustics,
knaves, gnomes and other enchanted
folk are promised refreshments more
substantial than usual and good music
will help along the grand march and the
light fantastic stepping later.
It is rumored that the faculty women
are going to spring a surprise in the
way of a stunt and the various houses
have been working, planning, sewing
and whispering for some time.
All these peculiar benefits are of
fered to University women who appear
in costume for ten cents and to bal
cony observers for twenty-five cents.
The closest watch will be kept of all
vantage points that no men are allowed
a look in. Measures to be employed
are kept secret but wise statements
have been made concerning methods of
secrecy.

SHEEHY AND
WILSON BACK
Baseball Prospects Look Brighter
With Return to College
of Two Old Men
The return to the campus of Janies
Sheehv and Dwight Wilson, both of
whom will re-enter the University, has
put a new aspect on baseball prospects
of Oregon for this quarter and given
the campus a little more of pre-war at
mosphere and normal conditions.
James Sheehy, ex-’18, arrived on the
campus yesterday from Camp Lewis
where he was discharged last Tuesday
from the U. S. School of Military Aero
nautics, at Berkeley, Cal. He will enter
the University to complete his B. A.
degree this term.
Sheehy enlisted as a flyer on March
26, and entered the. school July 20. He
was to have graduated in October but
he was laid up with a severe attack of
pneumonia October 18, and was in the
hospital there until February 28. While
at Berkeley Jimmy often saw Chuck
Dundore and Fod Mason who were also
in California flying schools at the time.
Goes to Fort Douglass.
After four months at Berkeley Shoe
hy was transferred to the hospital at j
Fort Douglass, Utah. His health im
proved there, he said, and after apply
ing for discharge, he was sent to Camp
Lewis on March 27. “I couldn’t be,
killed, says Jimmy, but I know a lot
more about hospitals than I did be
fore.”
Jimmy is eligible for baseball but
he says he doesn’t feel up to the mark
yet, having lost considerable weight
and strength. Fans are hoping to see
him out on the diamond though when
the first real baseball weather starts.
According to Jimmy, plenty to eat and
lots of sleep are the only allurements
for him just now.
‘‘I am glad of the few hours neces
sary for my graduation which give me
an excuse to come back,” Jimmy said.
Sheehy is a member of Friars, To-Ko
Lo, Gobblers, Sigma Delta Chi, and
Phi Gamma Delta. He has also served
as a member of the Emerald staff and

ber of the class of 1919, lias arrived on
the campus after a year's absence in
the service. Dwight will register in
school as a senior but probably will
not graduate this year. Wilson will be
an important factor in baseball dope
this year, he was one of the chief hurl
ers last season. He won three out of
four games with O. A. C. last year,
and also made quite a reputation as a
pitcher in his frosh year.

FUN, PROMISE

“Androcles and Lion” Offering
at Guild Hall April
18 and 19
“Androcles and The Lion,’’ by Ber
nard Shaw, will be put on in Guild hall
Friday and Saturday eveifings, April
18 and 19. 1 ‘ The eompnay, ’ ’ the ad
vanced class in dramatic interpretation,
will be responsible for the production,
under the direction of Fergus Reddie,
head of the public speaking depart
ment.
The stage at the little theatre is now
in the process of becoming a part of
the Roman Coliseum where work for
the production is going rapidly for
ward. The play, which expresses nov
elty in the theatre, needs unusual stage
settings, for which special scenery is
being made. The rendering of the old
fable shows Androcles first in the for
est drawing the thorn from the foot of
the Lion. Next comes the sdbne before
the gates of Rome where he, with the
Christian martyrs is being lead to sac
rifice, and the last scene behind the
Emperor ’s ' box at the Coliseum shows
him waiting to be cast into W*e arena
where he meets his old friend the lion
who refuses to eat him.
This witty fantasy of Bernard Shaw
has never before been produce.d at the
University of Oregon. The satire of
Christian and pagan alike is used fast
and furiously and the whole moves in
a prologue and two acts with great
speed.
“It’s about the funniest thing we’ve
ever put on,’’ said Norvcll Thompson
who is cast for the part of Androcles.
“It’s high comedy from first to last
and doesn’t slow up a second.
The cast will be:
Meagara .Hester Hurd
Lnvihia ...Helen Purrington
Ferrovius .Cres Maddock
The Cifptain .Julien Leslie
Centurian .David Lloyd Stearns
Androcles .Norvell Thompson
Spintho .^.Charles Miller
A charge of 85c and 50c will be made.
GEOLOGISTS FIND FOSSILS
Three Kinds of Sharks’ Teeth Discov
ered; Clam Remains Dug Up
Students in historical geology, taught
by Dr. E. L. Packard, of the depart
ment of geology at the University,
have, in their field trips been discov
ering fossils which are helping to
throw light on the geological history of
Oregon. The first sharks tooth to be
found in this region was found re
cently by Rachel Husband while the
class was on a field trip. Three kinds
have been found since then represent
ing three types of sharks in this re
gion.
The teeth were found near Spring
field and Smith’s quarry in east Eu
gene, in fossil beds belonging to the
Oligocene age. The presence of sharks
teeth in this end of the valley contrib
] utes another proof that the ocean ex
1 tended a tone time to the Cascades and
farther south than Eugene.
The best specimen was found near
; Springfield by Donald Smythe. It is
| about an inch long and is especially
; perfect, according to Dr. Packard. It
j has been identified as belonging to the
' genus Odontaspis. The species has not
been worked out.
The class since beginning its “fossil
hunts’’ has discovered many new fos
sils which had not been identified with
this region before. They have traced
down 50 different kinds of clams,
which were in existence in this region
when the sea washed its shores along
the Cascades.
HAWLEY TO SPEAK HERE
Oregon’s Representative Will Address

president, said this morning.
However, Mr. Hawley, who is the
representative from the first congres
sional distfiet of this state, has prom

Another Canoe Tips
On Race but no Men
On Hand for Rescue
Since the last edition of the Emer
ald in which appeared an account of
the heroic and noble rescue of two
girls from the relentless waters of the
mill race, two more such catastrophies
have occurred.
It happened yesterday and is a damp,
sad tale. Partciularly so, because the
freshman of the party had a full-sized,
carefully written note book just bulg
ing with laboriously taken Zoo notes—
and you know what that means—most
thoroughly washed and cleaned of
writing.
And there seems to be no romantic
ending, this time, for when Inga Win
ters, Junior, and Margaret Russel,
Freshman, tipped the canoe in an ef
fort to push off from shore, they had
to do the rescuing themselves. How
ever they managed to do this fairly
well without masculine assistance and
crawled shivering to the bank.
Needless to say walking around on
the bottom of the race with all of one's
clothes on is conducive to colds, espec
ially if one has to walk homo after
wards. Roth girls are croaking rather
inaudibly today’and aren’t in favor of
talking very much anyway.
Other tips as to who’s tipped lately
on the race will be carefully recorded.
COOS BAY TRIP
MAY BE TAKEN
Girls’ Glee Club Considering Tour of
Coast Towns; Prospects are
Declared Good
»
A good trip through some of tho larg
er towns of the Coos Bay country ex
tending from Tuesday, April 2d, until
Sunday night, are the pending plans of
the Girls’ Glee club, according to Mar
garet Mansfield, manager. The pros
pects are encouraging, she says, for a
very successful trip as some good of
fers have been received already from
towns along the road. No contracts
have been signed as yet but all the
towns which have been corresponded
with seem anxious to have the girls
come.
Because of the University agreement
that no campus organization shall be
absent for more tluyi three successive
school days, the Pendleton trip, which
was the oen most favored by the girls,
had to be given up. Tentative smaller
trips are being arranged for the club
later, after the return from Coos Bay,
probably to Portland and Salem over
the week-end, declared Miss Mansfield.
An entirely new arrangement, both in
the concert and the vaudeville program
will be made before the trip, stated
Miss Eleanor Lee, director. Many of
the numbers which were given with
such success at the local concert on
March 15, will be repeated, however,
she said.
All the members of the club will
make make the trip. The personnel is:
First Soprano — Melba Williams,
Dearie Craine, Ada McMurphey, Beu
