Last Student Body Assembly of the Term Thursday! Everybody Out Oregon Emerald ^ volume 21 , NUMBER 59 EUGENE, OREGON, TUESDAY, MARCH 16, 1920 OVER-POPULAR MAN ENGAGED TO THREE W AT SAME TIME “Company” Presents Trials of Hero With Too Many Heroines DATES IN ORDER FOR PLAY Heather of Guild Hall Highlands Will Be in Full Bloom on Opening Night Imagine one man engaged to three girls at one time, and then bring the trio face to face with each oth er. Trouble is sure to result, all kinds of trouble, but if you don't happen to be one of the affianced women or the over popular man him self you are in for a good time. “Warning enough for any man,” so “The Company” of dramatic stu dents claim and they are the ones who ought to know since next Fri day and Saturday nights they will present the problem in all its many sidedness under the title of “En gaged.” It is hard enough to handle all of those engaged women at one time, ! so the “company” believes, without being hampered with an accent thick enough to suit the most exacting “Bagpiper.” The book of tongue twisting words, according to the Scot.ish version, has been committed to memory and the result promiess to be hilarious. Mrs. Duglad Camp bell, of Eugene, has assisted the cast in the intricacies of the dialect. Much time and effort is to be ex pended upon the stage effects, and Carl Miller, who is in charge, claims he will have the hether in full bloom by Friday night. The costumes are under the care of Adah McMurphey, Valiere Coffey will see that Guild hall is supplied with ushers. According to Dean Fox dates are in order for the evening if assurance is warrented that examination pre parations are not neglected. Seats can be secured Friday and Saturday at the Guild hall box office, or by phoning J.42. Dean Fox to Attend Conference Dean Elizabeth Fox will leave the campus March 29 to attend the con ference of the Deans of Women of the Pacific northwest, of which she is secretary. The conference, which wfill be held at Spokane, Washington, is in connection with the convention of the Inland Empire Teachers As sociation which is also held there. Minus Men; Girls to Stage Party April Frolic*Date Set For Ninth Already the timeworn costumes of both ancient and modern freakish design are being pulled down from the shelves and the dust and moth balls shaken out. Freshmen who have never been to an April Frolic are in the market for Hula Hula outfits or a good barrel to wear on the night of April 9. Yea, verily; once more the gym will wear the modest canvas curtains and the doors will be locked with a chain. Reserved seats on Friendly hall are at a premium- A number of the men are beginning to shave every day in the hope of sneaking past the eagle eye of Vivian Chand ler, who has been appointed “bouncer”. The door manager is going to wear that same little scream she wore last year, she says. “It’s had a lot of hard wear, but I think it will stand one more evening”, she confided. The. party is going to be so changed that even the veteran frolickers won’t be able to recog- | nize it. Bleachers will be erected in the middle of the floor on the top shelf of which will sit the honorable judges of the stunts. For the best costumes two prizes are to be awarded, $5 and $2.50, ' for the first and second places. For the house staging the best stunt the cup, which was award ed to Kappa Kappa Gamma last year, will be presented. Mabyl Weller, who is in charge of the food, considers it enough to say that eats will be “awfully good”, plenty and different from any issued at any previous party. While the girls are spending the evening in riotous living; the men are considering an inter fraternity smoker. If the smoker is not staged it is probable that Jay Fox, “Slim” Crandall, and a few of the boys will call a gang meeting and an enjoyable even ing of “pussy want a corner” will be staged on the Kappa Sig lawn. The girls in charge of the frolic are: general chairman, Irva Smith; finance, Nancy Fields; programs, Alice Hamm; stunts. Eva Hansen; judges and patronesses, Ruth Flegal; eats, Mabyl Weller; floor manager, Vivian Chandler; publicity, Elean Spall. Oh yes, girls, don’s forget that it will cost you a dime to get in, and it will cost the towns women a quarter to sit up stairs.

GREGORY TO MAKE TRIP Will Represent Oregon at Teachers’ Meeting Held at Spokane Professor C. A. Gregory, of the school of education, will represent the University of Oregon at the meeting of the Inland Empire Teach ers Association to be held at Spokane March 30 and 31. This is an association of several thousand teachers from the western states which meets every year at Spokane. Various educational prob lems will be discussed and there will probably be one or two notable speakers from the east on the pro gram. PRESIDENT TO GO SOUTH P. L. Campbell Will Attend Ceremony at University of California In response to an invitation from the regents of the University of Cal ifornia to attend the installation of their new president, David Prescott Barrows, President P. L. Campbell, yesterday sent acceptance. The cere monies will take place at Berkeley March 23, the Charter Day. It will be the 52nd anniversary of the Uni versity’s foundation. Dr. Barrows has long been con cerned with educational policies on the Pacific coast and deeply interest ed in international relations. This oc casion is one that draws into closer unity of union the institutions of higher learning in the west. ! 4wmisr&im< Schedule For Term Examinations Which Start March 24 Announced The exam schedule has just been made out by the schedule committee, composed of Registrar Carlton E.

TRACK OUTLOOK IS AS BAD AS THIS WEATHER SAYS CAPTAIN FOSTER Distance Men Scarce; Plenty of Material on Campus; Few Are Out • TRACK SCHEDULE FOR 1920 • • April 24—University of Wash- • • ington Relays at Seattle. • • May 8—Oregon vs. Washington • • dual meet at Seattle. • • May 15—Pacific Coast Confer- • • ence meet at Palo Alto. • • May 22—O.A.C. vs. Oregon dual • • meet at Corvallis. • • May 29—Northwest Conference • • meet at Pullman. • The first track meet, April 24, is over a month away, and the track team is showing few encouraging de velopments. The Oregon men will not be seen in action in Eugene this season. The turnout of men has been very poor, but it is probably due to the rainy weather. Distance men seem to be very scarce as there are only about three out, while there should be at least twelve, according to “Hank” Foster. Bill Hayward is dissatisfied with the number of men that are turning out. There are many men on the campus that would make good track men if they would come out and work. Work is oje of the main requisites of a cinder athlete, is the opinion of athletic authorities. The rainy weather has hindered the training of he men because it is almost impossible to get in good condition in this kind of weather. Several of the old reliables have been out every night, keeping in as good shape as possible. It was hoped by the athletic de partment that the men would be in fluenced to report on the field through the fraternities, but as yet the roll has not perceptibly increased. Whitman track prospects look very bright since the arrival of George Lawrence, from Stanford, as track coach. Lawrence intends to turn out a crack team. Dement, who | starred on the Missionary basketball team, is reported as a champion hurdler. Coach H. W. Hargiss, O A. C. ath letic director, has offered his resig nation. This action has been expect ed for some time. It is probable that Hargiss will coach the O. A. C. track squad this season. Teaching Fellowship Offered The College of Business Adminis tration of the University of Washing ton offers a teaching fellowship in Money and Banking for the year 1920 1921. The fellowship is open only toj graduates of universities who have done a considerable amount of work in economics or business administra tion. Applications must be made not later than May 20. GIRLS GLEE PROGRAM Club Leaves on March 29 For First Trip in Years to That Section While other students are packing up to leave for home to spend the spring vacation, the members of the Women’s Glee club will be prepar ing to leave on their annual concert tour of the state. The club will leave Eugene March 29 for the sou thern part of the state, where book ings have been made at all of the larger towns. It has been several years since the Glee club visited southern Oregon, and the announce ment of the program to be given at the different towns has aroused much anticipation. The program to be pre sented is as follows: PART I. Woo Thou Sweet Music..-Elgar-Page Glee Club Piano solo, selected. Mr. Engeldinger Sleep Little Baby of Mine.Dennee Quartet: Misses Clancy, Holman, Chatburn, Lane Cupid Made Love.Smith Miss Lane and Glee Club Soprano Solo, selected. Miss Keagy Barcarolle.

The Year’s at the Spring.Beach Glee Club SHELDON BACK ON CAMPUS Education Dean Speaks Before Prin cipals Club Dr. H. D. Sheldon, dean of the school of education, has just returned from a trip to Jacksonville, where he spoke before the Rogue River Prin cipals’ club. Dr. Sheldon reports that a number of Jackson county teachers, including a number of prin cipals, are coming to the summer school at the University this year. In this connection he also states that there is an unusual interest being shown in summer school this spring, a large number of inquiries having befen received, many of Ihem from Idaho. Dr. Sheldon took occasion to ask concerning the sentiments toward the miilage tax bill for the Univer sity and other educational institu tions, and reports that business men as well as those interested directly in education feel that sentiment in that section is in favor of the bill. He said, however, that very little organization to forward the measure had been done there. Midnight Relays Around Hendricks Follow Fire Alarm It was a dark and rainy night. The midnight silence held sway over the sleeping girls, when sud denly a brazen blare was heard. It was a Are alarm at Hendricks hall last Saturday night. When the girls discovered that it was only a fake alarm they started .back to their couches of rest, but there -was no rest for them. Outside some of the girls who had rushed out of the build ing. fell off the porch, others be came entangled In the shrubbery. Excitement reigned everywhere —outside. Their companions in side had not missed them and were blissfully unaware of their sad plight. The rain fell in tor rents; the night latch <was on and the lodgers were keyless. Around the building they rushed, dodging the raindrops, splashing in the mud, and further disturb ing the otherwise peaceful scen ery of the hall grounds. At last their frantic efforts to get in were heard, the doors were opened, and the dripping maidens were once more admitted to the shelter of the house. Fire alarms aren’s what they seem, say the girls. NEXT TUESDAY IS SET IS REGISTRATION Dll INSTRUCTORS WILL ANNOUNCE WHETHER OR NOT CLASSES WILL BE HELD Registration day for the spring term will be held on Tuesday, March 23, but it will be left optional with the instructors whether classes will be held that day or not. Students are advised to register on that day, said Registrar Carlton E .Spencer, but they must also go to their class es unless the instructor has announc ed that their classes will not meet. This is a new departure from the usual custom according to the reg istrar, and has been made because some of the professors, need the ex tra time to round out the term courses. Registration fees may be paid any time before the study cards are filed in the office, said Mr. Spencer. All students, except those who avail themselves of the pre-registration on March 23, must file their study cards within three days after they get them from their major profes sor. There is a fine of 60 cents a day for every day after that time, until the cards are handed in. Students registering on March 23 will have until April 8 for the filing of their cards. After that date they will be overdue, and will be subject to the fine. PHI DELTA PHI HEAD HERE New Law Chapter Inspected by Coast President, Or. Ray Barnett Dr. Ray Barnett of Lob Angeles, province president of the Pacific Coast provinces of Phi Delta Phi, law fra ternity, Is on the campus inspecting the Chase chapter, which has Just been moved here. He is making a tour of the coast, visiting the six chapters In California, Oregon and Washington, and is looking after their welfare, giving advice and assist ance. Dr. Barnett's visit here Is purely coincldal with tlxe moving of the Chase chapter here, said Carlton E. Spencer, an alumni of the local chap ter. It was largely through Dr. Barnett’s efforts, said Mr. Spencer, that the na tional convention of Phi Delta Phi, scheduled to meet in December, 1921, will be held i% Los Angeles. This will be the first time the na tional convention has met on the Pacific coast. Beauty Contest at O. A. C. A number of popularity and beauty contests are being conducted by the; “Barometer” at Oregon Agricultural college. VOTING STUDENTS URGED TO REGISTER SPRING VACATION Three Ways to Insure Right For Non-Residents of County, May 21 PROCEDURE IS OUTLINED Absentee Privileges for University People Told by R„ S. Bryson, County Clerk Register with the county clerk or designated officer (if you do not reside at the county seat). Registration books close on April 20. Non-residents of Lane county should register in their home county and apply for a certifl-, cate allowing them to vote any where In Oregon. The Lane county clerk can register you for your home county. Students who become of age between April 20 and May 21 may register now by securing a qualifying card. Registration procedure is simple. Do not put it off. Do not neglect it. Make sure that all the voters in your family rgeister. Spring vacation is the op portunity for the University student. Know the facts and use them. Work for Old Oregon Three ways are open to the stu dents of the University of Oregon who are non-residents of Lane Coun ty to make sure they have a vote coming on May 21, according to R. S. Bryson, county clerk of Lane county. The ptudent may either be sworn in on the day of election by two freeholders, he may apply to the country clerk for the right of absentee voting, or he may register in his home coftnty and get a certifi cate from his county clerk allowing him to vote in any precinct in any county in the state. The last method Mr. Bryson says is much less complicated and more satisfactory than any of the others. It gives the voter transferring his registration the right to vote on state and district measures only, but this would include the right to vote on all measures referred to the peo ple by the last legislature. Students who have not registered may do so on their return home during the (Continued on page four) il WISE UNABLE TO TALK TO ASSEMBLY LANCASTER, HIGHWAY BUILDER, WILL SPEAK— GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB TO SING Word was just received from the Rabbi Jonah B.
