DARK HORSES APPEAR Continued from Page One) Dark horses for election have gradu ally come to light over the campus and are getting right into the poetical game with a good lively eleventh hour dash. Four candidates nominated by petition are Herman Lind, for student body president; Nick Carter, for vice president of the student body; and Adelaide Lake and Evelyn Smith for senior women representatives on the student council. The last hour for presentation of pe titions was 6 o’clock last night and up to that time no petition had been pre sented for the third man on the athlet ic council. As there are three men to be elected and only two are out for the office, it is probable that the remain ing member will be elected either by special election or by the student coun cil. Phi Delta Theta has as guests over the week-end George Sensonik, George Sawtell, Kenneth Tarieliep, Wallace McIntosh, Howard Smith, Allen Smith, Lynn Pickier, Irving Huntington and Howard Graham all of Portland. Ivan Roberts, from The Dalles, George Hoff, of Roseburg, Hugh Lathan, Emery Gillis, and Benard Nutting, of Salem. L. M. TRAVIS ATTORNEY AT LAW Class ls97 J. W.

PLANS FOR THE OCCASION RAPIDLY FORMING Commencement Exercises to be Held June 16; Hope Is For Eastern Speaker i 'JVith Commencement only a few weeks distant, definite plans are being i rapidly arranged for the program of the week. The commencement exer cises will be held Monday morning, June 16, in the assembly room of Vil lard hall. As yet no speaker for the occasion has been secured but it is hoped a speaker from the East may be gotten. President Lindley of the University of Idaho is chairman of the committee from the seVeral universities of the ( Northwest to arrange for speakers, and an announcement of the person secured I is daily expected, said Karl Onthank, ! secretary to the President, recently. Dr. Boyd May Preach An invitation was sent to Reverend | John II. Boyd of the Presbyterian j church of Portland to officiate at the (baccalaureate sermon but as yet no answer has been received by Karl Ont hank, secretary to tho president, who has charge of sending this invitation. The Saturday preceding commence ment will bo given over to the alumni and at this time the state association meeting will bo held, to be followed by tho president’s reception and the ulumni ball in the evening. As yet no definite plan regarding tho commencement play has beon made. Professor A. P. Rcddio, head of the department of dramatics, has selected a play that will bo used if tho presi dent doeides to have one staged. One of Mary Austin’s plays, "The Arrow Maker,” has been selected. Tho story deals with the Indians of California bofore tho coming of tho white man to that part of tho country. Miss Charlotte Banfield, assistant in the de partment. of dramatics, will have the loading woman’s role, which is a very strong part, said Professor Reddie. custom is Historic Another feature of the commence ment time is the Fern and Flower procession which lias been observed in some form every year since 1895. In the fall of 1895 Dr. Luella Clay Car son, then head of the rhetoric and pub lic speaking departments, and now dean of women at Drury College, Missouri, organized eight girls into a Bocrct organization known as* the F. F. F. secret society. That spring these girls held the first fern and flower cere mony and at this time they planted fern on the east side of Villnrd hall outside of Dr. Carson’s windows,— some of the original ferns are still to be found tlio^i. Dr. Carson’s idea was to organize so as to bo able to stage a beautiful pagent of ferns and flowers and to hold the ceremony just at the sunset time. At the beginning of this custom the fern ami flower procession was the only form of ceremony hut during the last few years some of the classes have pul on stunts. Alumni Lead Procession In forming tin' procession the alum line gather at the library, the seniors at the east entrance of Yillard and the student body on the north side of Vil lnrd, and after the groups have gather ed the alumnae form on either side of the walk while the seniors march down the walk as they fall into line behind the alumnae, the seniors are followed by the rest of the student body. Knch class carries flowers and they attempt to have flowers of their own class but often this is impossible ns the flowers are often not in bloom. The seniors wear their caps and gowns while the majority of the rest dress in white. During the procession the long line is always formed in an “O” and Oregon songs are sung. No definite date has been set for the Fence I’ipe ceremony, said the senior class president. Hilly Morrison. It is at this time that the seniors hand down to the juniors all their responsibilities to be carried on through the coming year. The University orchestra will fur nish all the Commencement music.

A few frosh were hot handed .for various reasons t»v the wearers of the <tars. but on the whole the seniors jftiy that they were not forced to diow their authority at the luncheon ;o a greater extent than parading ibout in the most approved "consta mle ’’ style. FIVE EXPECTED BACK WAR WORK TO RELEASE FACULTY MEN IS HOPE F. S. Dunn, Alfred Powers, Earl Kil ' Patrick, O. F. Stafford, Joseph Schafer, Heard From Latest news received on the campus from five prominent members of the University faculty indicate that four of them will be back from service in connection with the war, for the begin ning of the college year next October and it is believed that all the prodi gals will return. Frederick S. Dunn, former head of the latin department has been on leave of absence since last summer. He is serving with the Y. M. C. A. in Na ples, Italy. When last heard from he wins instructing Italian officers in English grammar. He writes that he likes his work. In conjunction with the education work, he conducts Amer ican officers, Bed Cross and Y. M. C. A. people through Pompeii and the national museum. He does not know when he will be able to return to the states. Powers in Seattle Alfred Powers,. secretary of social welfare in connection with the Exten sion division, who left last May for six weeks of Bed Cross work in Alaska was recalled after three weeks, to enter the service. He went to Camp Lewis then to Camp Kearney and in September went to France, arriving there about the time the armistice was signed. He is now in Seattle assist ing Earl Kilpatrick, director of the Education Extension, in writing the history of the work of the Northwest division of the Bed Cross. His work is also connected with the publicity and civilian relief work in the North west division. Mr. Powers will return to the University next fall. Earl Kilpatrick is assistaub manager of the Northwest division of the Bed Cross at Seattle. It is very doubtful that lie will return before fall it was announced at the education extension department. St atlord Expected Soon O. F. Stafford, professor of chem istry hopes to gct__baek for commence ment but is uncertain that he will be able to do so, according to word re ceived last week by Iir. F. L. Shinn. It is expected, however, that he. will bo hero for summer school. Professor Stafford is in Poston, Mass, connected with Badger and Sons company, a corporation of chemical engineers, in the interest of his invention, a wood distilation apparatus for the distilla tion of wood wastes. Dr. Joseph Schafer, head of the de partment of history, is on a year’s leave of absence in Washington, D. C. Tie left the campus last June and will resume his work at the University in October. Previous to the demobiliza tion of the S. A. T. 0., he prepared material for use of war issues. Since then he has prepared a bibliography on reconstruction which was published by the World Peace Foundation. Ho was also a joint editor and publisher of a book on Reconstruction and De mocracy. At present, he is chairman of the new committee of eight on his tory and education for citizenship irk the schools, with headquarters in the capital city. Book Gets Praise Dr. Schafer said in speaking of the aims of the course; ‘‘It will broaden children's knowledge of world affairs as distinguished from narrowly na tional affairs; it will, in consequence, impart a truer knowledge of American history anil life; finally, it will result in a more definite and, we think, more adequate training for citizenship—our supreme object.” Kappa Sigma lias as Junior Week end quests: Eddie Edlumbs Edward Kliuc, Douglas Buroell, Tod Million, A1 Draw ford, Thad Wilson, Curl Saverein, Tod I’otorson, Lloyd Buchholy and Charles Wallor, all of Portland and daok Stanfield and II.

The number of devotees to the parlv morning hours seems to be stead ily increasing much to the disgust of a few conservatives Who dodge eight o’clocks and feel the need of that last hour of beauty sleep. Alarms go booming off at most un heard of hoursy Just as these classes of these early risers: those who play tennis, the enthusiastic “walker before breakfast’’ variety, and the small class who arise to get at their books while all is quiet—so are there classes of alarms. One kind goes off with a gusto and immediately dies with a rasping gurgle, supposedly choked off by its owner. The other rings on and on until it stops in utter exhaustion, having awakened every one in the im- j mediate vicinity except perhaps the sound sleeper who set it the night be fore. Room mates crawl out in the cold dawn and begin conversations in stage whispers that can be heard at a great distance to the infinite disgust of other roommates. Of course the professors who started : the seven o ’clock class movement which has become so popular are partly responsible for this. It is said that there is a race between Professor TIowe, Dr. Cloran and the commercial department as to who shall have the largest number of students on time. Latest reports have it that Professor Howe’s senior English girls are,in the lead with Dr. Cloran’s French enthu siasts a close second. So far no early morning activity on the campus on the part of the men has been observed—perhaps the men are rather conservative about taking up the new idea. Guests for the week-end at the Sig ma Nu house are Zena Wise, Marion Boettiter, Russel Kaufman, McWaters, Gerry Gillis, Ross Piete, Lot Beatie, Van Stone, Glen Dudley, Harold Con nolly, Mike Boulter, Arthur Tuck, Earl Larrimore, Morris Holman, A.
