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.

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.

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

corporation of chemical engineers, in
the interest of his invention, a wood
distilation apparatus for the distilla

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

material for use of war issues. Since
then he has prepared a bibliography
on reconstruction which was published
by the World Peace Foundation. Ho

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.”

New Evil Infesting
Campus; Early Rising
Gaining Great Hold
It’s a fad, this getting up early
business, and it has spread over the
campus with alarming rapidity this
term. 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. Craw
ford, Jack Durther, D. O. Wilkins,

Zitt and Max Wilkins.

—1The old couch that has served so faithfully looks old and worn-out, doesn’t
it? Anyway the davenport is the thing now.
Overstuffed Davenports
are built to endure and to give pleasure to every member of the family. Up
holstered in subdued shades or bright colors, they give an air of elegance
and refinement to the whole room. The gi’owing popularity of these daven
ports with people of discriminating taste speaks well for their luxurious
lasting, comfort-giving qualities.
—Constructed according to the latest,
principles, with spring seats and extra
cushions, they are designed for every
day use. not merely when “company
comes. ’ ’
Kvery bit of material in them is of
the very best quality, chosen to give
real service. The upholstering is in
figured, striped and plain patterns, to
suit the individual tastes.
—Big, easy chairs, both plain and rock
ers, match the davenport in style, dur
ability and comfort. With your “man”
'settled in one of these chairs, a late
magazine in hand, and “makings”
conveniently near—and of course your
own sweet self by the fire side where
he can feel your sympathetic presence
—well, you needn’t worry about his
'wanting to leave such “solid com
fort. ’ ’
Veritable triumphs of the designer's art and the craftsman’s skill, are these
davenports and chairs.
—Come in and let us explain their good points more in detaiPand show you
how comfortable they are.
