ADVERTISING DRIVE
High School Students To Get
Letters of Invitation To
Big Celebration
SPECIAL RATES SOUGHT
Pushball Contest Revived; Program
to Be Sent to Preppers
All Over State.
Plans for advertising the largest
and best Junior week-end since pre
war days are under way at present,
with Jack Benefiel, general adver
tisr for the affair hard at work. As
cording to Benefiel who is convass
ing the entire state through the
high school, Y. M. C. A.’s and var
ious athletic clubs this is to be the
very best Junior wek-end ever stag
ed at Oregon, an dit is his desire
that all the University students co
operate with him by starting in to
day to write to all the preppers
they know and extending to them
an invitation to visit the campus at
that time.
“Start now to write all the facts
about .Junior Week-end that you
know to the perppers and urge them
to come here,” was Benefiel’s mes
sage to the students this morning.
“It is up to each and everyone of
us to get as many high school stu
dents as possible from all over the
state for the week-end.”
Railway May Give Rates.
As an added inducement to the
coming visitors Benefiel announced
that Marion McClain, graduate man
ager, taking up the propostion of
the fare-and-one-third rates for the
week-end, with the Portland railway
officials and also with the local
agent here in Eugene. If it is pos
sible to get this rate for the vis
itors it will save those coming from
Portland $2.-&6.
By way of advertising the week
end through-out the state the adver
tiser is having posters constructed.
These he states are to be on grpy
card-board with green letters ex
tending an invitation to all preppers
for the affair. On the lower part
of the poster there will appear, a
cut from an old Oregana page with
Junior week-end features pictured,
such as track meet snaps, conoe
fete scenes and various other at
tractions photographed during pre
vious week-ends. These posters will
be sent to every high school in the
state as well as to Y. M. C. A.’s and
clubs where all students would be
most apt to notice them.
Posters Due Soon.
Posters will also appear on this
campus and in all the various
houses on the campus and with the
poster idea and the letters which
each student will take upon himself
to write to preppers all over the
state, it is the hope of the adver
tiser to have the largest crowd in
history and the best Junior week
end ever pulled off at Oregon, this
year.

SWIMMING MEET MAY 8
Women to Compete with O. A. C. for
First Time in Three Years.
May 8 is the day set for the swim
ming meet between the women of
the Oregon Agricultural College, and
the Women of the University of Ore
gon, according to Catharine Wins
low, instructor in swimming. This is
the first meet held between the wom
en of the two colleges for three
years.
The following is a list of girls from
whom Miss Winslow will choose a
team to represent Oregon: Caroline
Cannon, Valiere Coffey, Wenona
Dyer, Winifred Hopson, Hope Mac
Kenzie, Frajices Moore, Jeannette
Moss, Helen Nelson, Helen Nicolai,
Marian Nicolia, Margaret Russell.
The entries are as follows:
Free style, one length, free style
two lengths, breast storke race, back
stroke race, plunge for distance,
dives, strokes for form, and relay.
Alleged Robbers
Freed By Jury;
Old Alibi Works
Well, the alleged hold-ups are
not guilty.
The moot court jury said so.
It took only three minutes for
the jury to decide the “fate or
the four suspects accused of
holding up and robbing the Delta
Gamma house last Friday even
ing. The defendants were Claire
Holdridge, Meredith Beaver,
Clayton Ingle, and Fred Pack
wood. So much interest had
been stirred up in the case that
the big lecture room in the edu
cation building was jammed,
about forty or so being report
ers.
The four had an alibi that got
over with the jury, although the
Delta Gammas were decidedly
unconvinced. They were par
ticularly hostile from the fact
that a wrist watch by which
several of them might have
made 8 o’clocks was taken by
the holdups. It was returned
after the trial, however.
E. R. Bryson, Sugene lawyer
and lecturer on law in the Uni
versity, acted as judge.
TENNIS MEN FINALLY
GET CHANCE TO WORK
Brown, Smith and Westerman Lead
ers; Team May Go to Willam
ette May 7-8
With the clearing up of the
weather the tennis courts have pre
for the team. These men will prob
four days. Captain Mort Brown,
Ken Smith and Harry Westerman
are chief among those trying out
for rthe team. These men will prob*.
ably make up the team that will he
sent to Salem if negotiations, which
are now under way to meet Willam
ette university there, May 7 and
8 as a part of Willamette’s junior
week end program, are completed."
Manager Marion McClain said yes
terday the excutive committee of
the associated student-body had vot
ed not to send the team to the Pa
cific Coast tournament to be held at
Palo Alto May 15. This action, he
explained, was due to the depleted
condition of the student body treas
ury.
Arrangements are open for dual
meets with the University of Wash
ington and O. A. C., but as yet
neither of these meets is assured.

CHORliS OF 600 TO SING
Children, Directed by Mrs. Beck, to
Assist in Both Productions in
May Festival.
Plans and rehearsals for the ap
proaching May Festival are being
rapidly completed and the three day’s
festivity promises to be one of the
biggest productions ever attempted
by the University. Announcement
has just been made of the eggagf
ment of Madam Rose McGrew, prima
donna of international repute, to ap
pear in the leading roles in the op
era, “Cavalleria Rusticana” and “the
Rose Maiden.” Arrangements for the
tenor part id these two productions
have not yet been completed, but
some singer of a high order will be
secured.
The soloists for the opera “Cav
alleria Rusticana” are: _
Santuzza, soprana.
.Madame Rose McGrew
Turriddu, tenor. Unselected
Lola, soprano ..Martha Findahl
Lucia, contralto.Kate Chatburn
Alfio, baritone .Albert Lukken
In the Rose Maiden the soloists
are:
Soprano .Madame Rose McGrew
Tenor . Unselected
Baritone . Curtis Peterson
Honors Won Abroad.
Madame McGrew, the prima don
na, and dramatic soprano selected
for the leading roles in the festival,
is an American endowed with out
standing talent, love for the opera,
and determination. Upon the ad
vice of many prominent musicians,
she went abroad and shortly was
engaged by many of the leading op
era houses of Europe. She has had
the disctinction of having been call
ed upon several occasions to sing
before royalty, and has been a
guest artist in practically all the
leading opera houses in Europe, and
being opposed to the militaristic at
titude of Germany, early found it im
posible to live with her husband.
Upon threat of war she returned to
America. She has been unable to
bring her two children to America
because of the strained relations
between America and Germany.
Madame McGrew is a woman of
most dramatic and elemental tem
perment, proved by the fact that she
has sung 72 distinct opera roles; any
one role being in itself a great
study.
She was specially selected by
Richard Strauss to create a number
of then roles in his later operas. Her
further resourcefulness is shown by

French dramatist Sardou, which is
to be presented by The Company in
Giuld Hall, April 30 and May 1.
The play, a follow-up to the com
edy “Engaged,” that was recently
presented by the company. The re
ception of this production was so
good that it was decided to present
another comedy.
Tlj.e scene of the play is laid in
France and the time is about the
middle o^ the nineteenth century, or
hoop skirt period. The plot revolves
around a scrap of paper which com
promises the Baroness de Glaciere.
Sardou is world renowned for his
extreme cleverness, wittiness and
the remarkable dramatic situations
created in his plays. “The Scrap of
Paper” is perhaps the best known of
all of his plays. Such famous stars
as Sarah Bernhart, Mrs. Kendall and
Mary Anderson have made the play
very popular.

revised, is as follows:
Suzanne de Ruseville.

er.
SENIORS, FILE! IS PLEA
j Application Cards Necessary to Those j
Who Want Sheepskins.
Seniors who do not file their ap
plication cards for commencement by
May 1 may find that they cannot j
| get their sheepskins in June, is the
word from the Registrar’s office. I
They will run the risk of not get
ting their diplomas until November,
i said Mrs. George Fitch, chief clerk j
in the office, as they will probably
be ordered immediately after May 1. j
All commencement committees,
having the ordering of the caps and
gowns, and the other commence
ment details to arrange for, also
get their lists from this office and
the failure of a few seniors to file
their cards is holding up the whole
plan of things, said Mrs. Fitch.
