Oregon EUGENE, OREGON, TUESDAY, VOLUME 21 Emerald MAY 4, 1920 NUMBER 73 SELF-GOVERNMENT IS FAVORED; FACULTY AND STUDENTS AGREE Representative Members Inter viewed Express Approval With Qualifications DEAN STRAUB AN ADVOCATE Karl Onthank Says Student Council Is First Step In New Order; All Statements Endorse Prominent members of the student body and faculty, interviewed today, all favor student self-government, with reservations. The prevailing opinion among members of the student council is that if the students are back of the plan, student government is the only thing to have. Following is what some of them have to say about the matter; Stanford Anderson, president; “I am very much in favor of student government if the whole student body is back of it, but it will never be successful unless all of the students want it. I think it should be serious ly though over before we attempt to put it into practice.” Adelaide Lake: “I think student government is the only thing. It; would be the solution for many prab-1 lems of student control and I be lieve that student government and the honor system should go hand in hand. Before either is adopted it should have hearty student support.” j Newbury “A plan of student government which will have the stu dents’ effective cooperation is worthy of consideration by the students and this plan should be evolved by the proper student representatives, that is, of the student council and the executive committee.” President Said to Favor It Dorothy Duniway: “The University is rapidly approaching the time when student government will be the most effective way of handling the large student body. The students will take up their new tagk with a full sense of their responsibility. President Campbell is in favor of some form of student government and with his Yielp a satisfactory plan should be in operation soon.” Harold White: “I think that it’s high time we were beginning to con sider it. However, I don’t think the sentiment of the students will back it now.” Louise Davis: “I think that we should have student government. Fol lowing out the principle of democracy which the University in its final anal ysis is trying to inculcate in the individual, tell policy of student gov ernment is most desirable and should receive the undivided support of the faculty and students.” Faculty Members for Plan Following are some of the state ments : Dean Walter Morton: “I have ben connected with one or two schools which have had student gov ernment and it worked out well in each case. I’d be willing to try it here and would expect that in a few years it would work smoothly. Some difficulties during the first few years are to be expected until the students become accustomed to managing their own affairs in a machine-like way. There would be few cases of disci pline as the students come to real ize their responsibility. Oregon is ready for such a change and I, for one, would welcome it.” Prof. Robert W. Prescott: “By the time boys and girls get to the age of University students it is time they began to have experience in self government. My experience in work ing with students is that when re sponsibility is placed upon them they throw themselves into the work to be done with enthusiasm, and with judgment and restraint. One of the greatest arguments for University training is preparation for citizen ship as citizenship consist not only in following but in leading and in being able to lead. A greater meas ure of self-government would be salu tary in teaching the student not only Continued on page 4.

C. rooks next Saturday morning, May 8, in Corvallis the outcome of the contest will not be such a one-sided score in favor of the rooks as was the outcome of the game the freshmen lost to them here last Friday.

EX-PRESIDENT TAFT TO SPEAK, MAI 28, ON SOVIET SUBJECT First Oregon Stop To Be Made Here; 1500 Persons Are Expected In Armory Ex-President William Howard Taft will speak in Eugene, in the new armory, on the evening of May 28, instead of on May 23 as previously announcmed, according to Lyle Bar tholomew, who represents the Ellison. White Chautauqua here. That organ ization is contracting for the lectures given by Mr. Taft during his seven weeks’ tour of the western states. He will speak on soviet and bolshev ism. Fifteen hundred peope are expected to hear Mr. Taft, said Bartholomew, and all arrangements for the talk and the stay of the former president have been made. He will arrive on Friday, May 28, at noon, and will not leave Eugene until early afternoon on the following day. A luncheon for Saturday noon has been planned for him, and also a ride over the country around Eugene, if the visitor has no other plans for his short stay here. Salem and Portland Only Other Stops Eugene is the first place in Oregon where Mr. Taft will speak, said Bar tholomew, the other two places be ing Salem and Portland. The Eugene lecture was first scheduled for Med ford but train facilities made Eugene a better place for the stop-over, • so the change was made. Corvallis al so was after the engagement, but Eugene got it. Mr. Bartholomew is visiting all the towns in the southern part of the state, and in the vicinity of Eugene, speaking for the lecture here, in ord er that a worth-while crowd may be present to hear Mr. Taft. Mr. Taft Finds Anti-Fat Secret Mr. Taft, who completely filled the presidential chair of the United States of America a few years ago, has discovered the muchly-sought secret of reducing. Corpulent folks will be especially interested in Mr. ^ Taft’s discovery, for by strict ad herence to the requirements of his "find”, the former president has lost a goodly portion of his former bulk. Work for the League of Nations, is the “find”, he says. BOSTON PASTOR TO SPEAK Rev. Palfrey Perkins, Touring West, at Unitarian Church, Thursday Ftev. Palfrey Perkins, the success ful pastor of a large suburb church in Boston, will speak at the Eugene Unitarian church Thursday evening of this week, at 8:00, on “Unitar ism, Its Present Meaning and Pur pose”. OREGON LOSES EIRST OE TWO-GAME SERIES TOSTANEORDTOSSERS Rally Comes Too Late To Save Varsity From 11-7 Defeat SECOND CLASH IS ON TODAY Berg. Lemon-Yellow Southpaw, Fans Out 12; Cardinals’ Fielding is Superior Oregon dropped the first of a two game series to the Stanford Univer sity nine on Kincaid field Monday afternoon in a listless game, void of thrills, by a score of 11 to 7. The varsity showed the result of their long trip through the north and were hardly in condition to meet the Cardinals, and only in the latter part of the game did they come up to their regular brand of playing. Stan ford had become safely intrenched behind an avalanche of runs by this time, however, and the rally came too late. The second game was scheduled for this afternoon. “Art” Berg, the husky southpaw, was on the mound for the varsity and twirled good ball in spite of the list less support which he received at times. Berg had 12 strikeouts to his credit while Newlins of the Cardinal nine fanned hut 4. Berg handed out free passage to (1, however, while Newlins did not walk a man. The Cardinals touched Berg up for 12 hits, while Oregon banged Newlins’ offer ing for 13 safe ones although the varsit> was unable to bun dll their hits when hits counted. Stanford Pitcher Clever Newlins, the big rangy pitcher of the Stanford aggregation, has some good dope on the ball and managed to keep the Oregon stick artists at his mercy for the first few innings, but they soon found him, and both Berg and Leslie garnered three-bag gers off him. Stanford took the lead in the initial frame when, with two down, Bundy accepted one of Berg's offerings, slam ming it through second for one base. He stole second, went third on a pas sed ball, and scored when Ratner singled into the left garden. The visitors maintained their lead, annex ing two more markers in the second frame. Their final score came ip the 7th inning, when Ratner hit a deep one to center, scoring Crow, who had singled. The varsity scored first in the fourth inning. Following the fourth, when Stanford annexed five runs, the varsity whipped up a bit and chalked up two runs. In the sixth Berg scored after connecting with a three bagger. In the seventh, Oregon ad ded three runs, ending Oregon’s scor ing.

Reason Archimedes Shouted “Eureka” Will Be Explained Just what the three Mask and Buskin neophytes will say that Archrimedes found when he cried “Eureka”, is a matter of con jecture. The question will he discussed from the library steps, Thursday at 10 o’clock, by Fred Dodson, Lyle Bartholomew and Nelson English. The subject is an ancient one, but it will prob ably be greeted with just as ancient applause, unless the lib rary janitor objects.

Lyle Bartholomew, altohugh a temperate young man, is defend the idea that the scientist had found a new brand of hair tonic. Nelson English is puzzled over the problem, and intends to wait and hear what the others havo to offer.
