I TDM MURPHY CHOSEN PRESIDENT OF CEASS OF 1923; VOTE CLOSE Men Picked For Most Offices; Bernice Alstock Made Secretary “HAZING” IS OBJECTED TO “Executive Committee” Calls for “Square Deal” in Events of Week-end Tom Murphy was elected presi dent ot the sophomore class last night by 13 votes, in one of the clos est elections ever held on the cam pus. His competitor in the race was Eugene McEntee, who received 126 votes as against 139 for Murphy. “Shrimp” Philips did not make a strong run for the office. A1 Malone was chosen for vice president by 13 votes over Imo gene Letcher. Others in the race was Marjorie Kruse and Gladys Nos ier. Bernice Alstock was elected secretary with 128 votes, her nearest competitor being Mauna Loa Fallis with 93 votes. Others running were Mildred Mumby and Florence John son. Harold Simpson was elected trea surer. He was unopposed. Stan Anderson spoke to the class concerning the letter recently sent to the student council by some of the men members of the freshman class calling themselves the execu tive committee of the class of 1923. The letter, in brief, was a request that all so-called “hazing” such as previously indulged in by upperclass men on Junior Week-end be done away with this year and that the freshmen be given a “square deal” in the tug-of-war, push ball contest, mill racing and other events. The letter emphasized the fact that the" freshman class was' more than willing to work on Campus day, paint the “O,” and do everything to fur ther the interest of the school, but that members of the class objected to the use of paddles wielded by sophomores, especially on the occas ion of the painting of the “O.” “We men are anxious to uphold all college traditions and precedents,” said one member of the class last night, “but we want a square deal and object to these one-sided inter class mixes.” The men are willing to be mill-raced, but they want a chance to take a few sophomores in with them. “The tug-of-war will be a square deal,” said Anderson, “as far as I know. As for the mill-racing—that is up to the saphomore class.” The women members of the class | did not go on record as either in | favor or opposed to the action of the men in sending the letter to the ! student council.

VISIIORS FROM SALEM SHOWN UNIVERSITY’S CROWDED CONDITIONS Assembly Speakers Impress Cherrians With Needs of Institutions COLIN V. DYNENT TALKS Secretary of Joint Alumni Relief Association Presents Case to 56 Visitors Sketching the crowded conditions at the University with a few illus trative details which he said were typical examples and applicable to all departments, Professor Colin V. Dyment, secretary of the joint alumni relief association, presented the case of the University of Oregon to a visiting delegation of 66 Salem Cher rians in the special assembly at Vil lard hall yesterday. Students ga thered to woVome Oregon’s guests filled the hail to capacity and scores jammed the outer hall and entrance aisles, unable to find seats on the lower floor. James Elvla, Salem Y. M. C. A. secretary, impended in behalf of the visiting Chorrians. The lea Png or ganizations in Salem have unani mously indorsed it, he declau", and are working for it. “I have 66 arguments to present in or half of thj bill.” said Mr. Elvin, and turning, pointed to the members of his party behind him on the plat form. These men, he added, he re garded as concrete examples of en thusiasm and interest for the stu dents and for .the millage tax. Salem people realize that men and women all over the state benefit and are helped each year by the Univer sity, and they are going to stand behind the millage bill in the May election. The publicity brought to the state by the Pasadena game is worth mcjre to Oregon than the millage tax will | cost in ten years, he said. Taking Deady hall as an example of college conditions, Professor Dy ment sketched briefly its history and present use. Built in 1876 and i in constant use for over- 40 years < the venerable building is now the home of the science departments of i botany, bacteriology, zoology and phy sics, as well as the abodj of the i modern language departments of French, Spanish and German, the professor said. Crowded conditions are not confined to class- room space, i The department of botany possesses 6 representative herbaria of the - northwest, containing in all 100,000 specimens, collected as the result of years of constant effort. Yet of these , fully one-half lie unused in wooden , boxes, unprotected from destructive climatic conditions and unavailable for use in class work, Dyment point ed out. In the department of bacteriology, also housed in Deady hall, which performs service to the state at large in the analysis of water, foods and milk products, continued Professor Dyment, 35 students are taking gen eral bacteriology this year in a lab oratory room which has space for 10. These students are undertaking to pursue the work under these condi tions for their only alternative is to go elsewhere for it after they finish at Oregon. Six research laboratories are needed if this one edpartinent is to function as it should, Dyment stat ed, and at present it does not have a single one. Zoology illustrates much the same points. The increase in this depart ment has been 20 per cent each year. This year, according to Professor Dyment’s statement, 144 students are enrolled, although the laboratory ac commodates but 24. In the physics department, he continued, summariz-j ing the needs briefly, only half the necessary laboratory space is avail-j able. The department of psychology lacks suitable quarters and at the present time all its work must be handled under most adverse condi tions, such as noise, odors from the chemistry department, and the jar and shake of heavy machinery. Work in chemistry is also handicapped by: lack of room, he pointed out. “The United States,” said Profes sor Dyment, “is the freest, happiest, j (Continued on page four) FRIARS elect William Reinhart George Hopkins Carlton Savage Edwin Durno Umbrella Stops Eggs For Neophytes While Delivering Orations Seven neophytes of Alpha Kap pa Psi, national commerce fra ternity, emerged from the men's gymnasium promptly with the ringing of the gong for 11 ojclock classes, and in single file made their way to the senior fountain. The column was led by Si Starr, playing with great intelli gence upon a bass drum. Behind him came Walter Banks. Jack Benefiel, Franklin Miller, Spike Leslie, Don Davis and Prof. A. L. Lomax. Arriving upon the scene of action, a conference was held to determine the first vic tim. Benefiel imparted a new for mula for the dilution of lemon extract, with a demonstration of the residue. Miller, as a book keeper, carried an enormous pen, and claimed to know of but one larger, and that was in Salem (Loud groans from the crowd). A “Heinie” steel helmet, label ed egg protector, was worn by Benefiel, while Leslie carried an umbrella as an extra precaution. The initiates were greeted with a barrage of eggs, the hurlers of the hen fruit giving an excellent demonstration of rotten throw ing. In spite of poor marksman ship, the seven neophytes did not retire from the place without casualties, for some were hit during the heavy (egg)shelling. The column was re-formed, and to the accompaniment of rare ability and technique by Starr up his chosen musical instrument, wended their way to the gym nasium. iVRECK KILLS MISS DOSCH rormer Campus Housemother Suc cumbs to Injuries Received News of the death of Miss Camille Dosch as a result of injuries received n the wreck of the Southern Pacific slectric trains near Portland Sunday norning came as a shock to her nany friends on the campus.

Nelson, ’19, has Just received a one-year fellowship in geo logy valued at $500 from the Univer sity of California, according to word -eceived yesterday by Dr. E. L. Pack ard of the geology faculty here. This is the same fellowship which Dr. Packard himself held in 1912 and 1914. The position requires no teaching, giving the student all his time for advanced research. While in the University of Oregon Mr. Nelson distinguished himself by liis exceptional work in geology, ac cording to Dr. Packard. Last sum mer they were engaged together in Held geological work for a large commercial oil company, and when Dr. Nelson returned to the Univer sity, Mr. Nelson continued the work for several weeks more.
