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

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.

safe ones. Captain Lind made two
home runs during the game, clouting

NELSON GETS FELLOWSHIP
Geology Student Holds Same Prize As
Dr. Packard Six Years Ago
Richard N. 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

time for advanced research.
While in the University of Oregon
Mr. Nelson distinguished himself by
liis exceptional work in geology, ac
