No Professor Worth $500 Is
Emerald Plea in “Libel Suit’’
Defeat Proved Lack of Pep;
No Kick Coming, Says
Staff Member
“Show me a prof worth $500—who
can earn $500 coaching tennis or even
teaching, and I’ll admit that there is
a chance of convicting The Emerald
of Libel.”
Leith F. Abbott, Editor of the Em
erald, which is being “sued, for libel”
in the moot court Thursday, showed
considerable concern over the case.
The above opinion, he states, was
formulated while in California with a
track team, where Mr. Abbott took
the opportunity to consult the leading
attorneys in the bay city for opinions.
They hold, he said, that the damages
demanded by the Oregon professors
are amazingly exhorbant.
“I am convinced that no court wijl
find the paper guilty,” said Harry A.
Smith, managing editor. “If the
professors had exhibited the proper
Oregon pep and trimmed the Willam
ette aggregation, they might have .had
a kick coming, but as it is the whole,

Location To Be Near Senior
Bench, Presented by
1910 Group
MEMORIAL TO COST $225
Scheduled to Arrive June First; to
Be Installed With Ceremony,
According to Chairman
I -
There is to be another senior fount
ain installed on the campus soon.
This one will be neither a watery bed
for lilies nor a convlent place for the
! campus “cops" to dip the slackers on
campus day. It is to be merely a
good old fashioned thirst quencher.
The senior class of 1920, realizing
the need of a drinking fountain in a
convenient place, decided to spend $22f
for a plain bronze fountain,. to be
F placed in front of the seniof bend
just outside of the library. It is
scheduled to arrive the first of June
and will be installed with all cere
1 taony, according to Jack Dundore
' chairman of the memorial committee
’ The senior class expects to have
c about $125 left at the end of the schoo
year, which will be given to the wo
; men's building fund., or to the soldiers
memorial fund started three years
[ ago.
’ Ever since the first class was or
j ganized in 1878, the custom of the
senior class to leave some memoria
1 has been held in reverence. For manj
! years the memorials took the form o1
class trees, the class of '78 presenting
the University with an English laurel
I This tree is still growing, and may be
seen near the west walk leading fron
Deady to Villard.
A slip from the famous elm at Wash
ington’s tomb at Mt. Vernon was the
gift from the class of ’83. It has since
grown to be a beautiful tree.
, The class of '93 evidently desired b
more permanent and conspicuous re
, membrance than the trees could af
, ford, and set up a large symmetrica:
, stone from one of the neighboring
L hills, near the famous oaks.
■ The last tree representing a class
is a large oak, which bears the insignia
. of 1900.
A large clock in the library now
ticks its thanks to the class of 1908
The senior bench was a gift from the
. class of 1910. The University sea:
, owes its existence to the graduates o!
'12 and the senior fountain was do
, nated by the members of the class
of '13.
, The idea of a soldiers’ memorial
[ the form of which has not yet beer
i defined, was conceived, by the class
, of ’17, in order to commemorate the
43 who did their “bit” in the late war
This class started a fund for the pur
pose.
Money was donated to the women’s
building fund by the next year’s class
East year’s class left a fund for a
class memorial gate to the new ath
letic field.
FARM CALLS COLLEGE MEN
Secretary of Agriculture Makes
Appeal for Food Production
E. T. Meredith, Secretary of Agri
culture, has written to the president’s
office requesting that all Universitj
students consider the problem of ths
farm and the possibility of helping
with the harvests this summer. Th«
country faces a possible shortage ol
food this year, he writes, and the col
lege men should consider this.
Farm labor is 15 per cent less this
year than it was last, and is only 71
per cent of normal. This shortage
compares with the shortage during th«
summer of 1918, when so many stu
’ dents and business men answered the
1 call for help and gave the farmers
aid. Secretary Meredith desires thal
all college students consider the mat
ter, as the need for more help is acute

OREGON’S CHARGES
OF TRACK VICTORY
BELIEVED SLIGHT
Sure Point-Winners Few For
Contest With Aggies
On Friday
__
BARTLETT NAY WIN DISCUS
Throw of 139 Feet For Coast Record
Looks Promising; Hemenway To
Aid Foster in Dashes
Just how Oregon is going to come
out with O. A. C. in the duel track
melee, at Corvallis next Friday, is
the topic of the day in sporting cir
cles. The dopestere are busy com
paring notes but this is not a ques
tion of dope for it is always upset
when the lemon-yellow, and orange
and black mix. But as one frosh re
marked today, “Bill Hayward can do
5 anything,” so Oregon has a fighting
chance.
This is the last and most important
contest of the season and the men
are working with a detJermin|ritiioni
! that means Oregon will show some
i class next aSturday.
At Stanford last week O. A. C.
placed first in both the mile and the
shot put. Swan ran the mile in 4:
28:01, and Walkley finished fourth.
But with all things in his favor. Walk
ley ought to garner some points in
the mile. In the shot put Powell
' heaved the best ball at 42 feet, 6%
inches, which gives the Oregon foL
: lowers a chance to figure on seconds
and thirds.
Abbott May Be In Shape
Leith Abbott may get into condition
to give the Aggies a good run in the
88(1, although he was not in good
shape for the California meet. Ken
Bartlett showed up well in the dis
cuss throw, heaving it 139 feet, 11 Va
inches, thus breaking the coast rec
ord. The prediction is that he will
many points to the Oregon score Sat
urday.
Bob Case should deliver the goods
in the javelin, and also Skinny Har
greaves, who placed fourth in the
Javelin at Palo Alto. O. A. C. did not
place in this event.
Captain Foster will be called upon
to bear the brunt of Oregon’s work
in the meet. He will run in the
speed events and compete in the
broad jump. Foster placed third in
the 100 yard dash in the conference
j at Palo Alto Saturday and for 75
yards in the race run ableast with
Kirksey. Stanford phenomenon who
won the dash in 9:4. Snook, touted
Aggie speed man, failed to place in
j this event.
Opposition For Snook
Roscoe Hemenway is getting into
’ shape to aid Foster in the speed j
events. He will probably run in the I
220-yard dash and Oregon fans are
confident that he can beat Snooks
in this distance.
Oregon ought to win two places
in the pole vault. Don Portwood won
the event at Washington two weeks
ago with a vault of 11 feet which is
better than any Aggie man had done
this season.
SEABECK RIDE IS PLANNED
Y.M. and Y.W. to Combine to Make Big
Event of Annual Affair
The annual Seabeck ride to be giv
en on the evening of June third at
seven o'clock, will be one of the big
events of the year, according to plans
which are being worked out by joint
« committees of the Y. M. C. A. This
ride has hitherto been given under the
auspices of the Y. W. C. A. for the
purpose of raising money to send del
egates to Seabeck, but this year it is
planned to make it an all University
affair.
It is planned*to go to the Coburg
bridge in machines or trucks and
spend the evening around an Im
mense bonfire toasting marshmallows,
hearing stunts, and having a pep,
fest.
A. G. JACKSON, FOREST
AUTHORITY, TO SPEAK
Head of Publicity Department Has
Wealth of Information in
Store For Students
A chance to learn more about the
Cascade forest reserve as a national
playground will be given to Univer
sity people Thursday morning when
A. G. Jackson of Portland, special lec
turer for the U. S. Forest Service and
head of the publicity deportment gives
his popular Illustrated lecture at as
sembly.
Mr. Jackson won favor with Ore
gon people three years ago when he
spoke In Deady Hall. He Is known
all over the Northwest for Ills enter
taining lectures.
Although the forester has not de
finitely announced his topic it will
probably be on the forest reserve as a
national playground, according to
Karl Onthank, secretary to the pres
ident. He will probably speak on fire
prevention in connection with t(he
forest alos. Oregon has more exten
sive reserves than any other state,
and the government is trying to get
people to realize how they can be
used, by means of publicity.
VOICE RECITAL TO BE GIVEN

ior in the University school of music,

NO CHANGE EXPECTED
IN LINE# EOS GAME
AGAINST WASHINGTON
Oregon In Setter Shape To
Meet Seattle Than In
Previous Game
HUNTINGTON OPTOMISTIC
Varsity Scheduled For pour Games
This Week, Which Ends
Conference
The University of Washington, one
of the strongest teams in the Pacific
coast and Northwest conferences,,
will be here for two games with the
Varsity Wednesday and Thursday on
cemetery Ridge. Although some
changes may have to be made in the
infield of the lemon yellow, Couch
Huntington hopes to be able to play
the same lineup .used in previous
games. Technicalities of the proba
tion committee put one of the lemon
yellow players out of games the com- _
ing week, but in that the work has
since been made up satisfactorily, it
is hoped that ttye matter miay be set
tled before tomorrow’s game.
Coach Huntington was optimistdc
last evening as to Oregon's chances
of winning. Oregon played thd first
two games of the season against the
Sundodgers and in spite of the fact
that the Oregon team took second
honors, the games were anybody’s un
til the finish of the ninth inning.
Since Oregon has hlad the benefit of
ia heavy schedule with nearly all the
colleges on the Pacific slope while
Washington has played but few con
ference games, the Varsity is in mu-h
better shape than when, they met the
Sundodgers in Seattle in April. The
weather conditions here at that time
permitted the vars'ty only two night
practices before their northern tour.
Washington dealt out 6-4 defeat to
O. A. C. yesterday. However, that
need not discourage the lemon yellow
supporters, according to huntingtofi.
The game belonged to O.‘A. C. until
the eighth inning when a costly error
brought in two runs for Washington.
O. A. C. pounded Leonard for twelve
hits but failed to bunch them. The
Northeners div'ded honors with the
Cardinals from the south while the
Aggies took two straight from them.
The Varsity will have a hard week
of it with four straight games. The
two games with the Oregon Agricul
tural college Friday and Saturday of
this week officially ends the confer
ence schedule for Oregon. Whitman
is anxious to come here for two post
season games and it i« hoped that
these games may be arranged for dur
ing the letter part of May.
Noise Parade and Serpentine
Will Close Miliage Campaign
PROBATION RULE REVISED
Students Must See Dean Four Days
After Receiving Post
A new ruling was made at the meet
ing of the probation committee last
week, said Registrar Carlton Spencer,
which makes it a requirement for any
one receiving a post to report to his
dean within four days from the time
of receiving the post, unless a special
time provision is made. If this is out
done, the student will be placed on
probation.
If the dean to be seen is out of
town a special extension of time will
be made, he continued. Three stu
dents were dropped from the Univer
sity at the meeting, this number be
ing larger by one than that dropped
from school at any previous meeting
of the committee. This makes a total
of nine who have been dropped from
the University during the present
school year.
Formerly the ruling was that two!
posts could be received by anyone be
fore being placed on probation, but
the new ruling makes probation pos-;
sible also if the student does not fulfill
the requirements of any one post and
see his or her dean within the usual j
four days required.

A student rally and noise parade
on Willamette Btreet starting from
the University at 7 will mark the final
windup of the millage bill campaign

The rally will form on Slim Cran

versity Is wanted out for the paradef
and all the noise making instruments
located in Eugene and vicinity are ex
pected to be comandeered for the
occasion.
Cox was emphatic that the sky is
the limit for noise making. The main
thing, he said, is to wake the tpwn
to the fact that the University Is
still with it and to attract as many as
