MflDETHIS MORNING:
•0. Johnson and N. Winnard
Announce Candidacy for
Vice-Presidency
ASSEMBLY MAY BRING
FORTH “DARKHORSES"
Few Positions Unfilled; Many
Declare Intentions and
Aspirations.
Formal nominations for A. S. U. O. of
fices arc scheduled for this morning at
11. Indications late last night were that
an unusual number of “dark horses”
would enter the lists at the final moment,
and possibly a few candidates would with
draw.
An unusual feature of elections this I
5car is that some offices have no appli
cants. Two senior women are to be
elected t0 the student council, and so far
ue candidates have announced themselves
for that position. No candidate has yet
announced himself for yell leader, al
though it is understood that at least one
student is out for that position. Only
two candidates are out for senior man
on the student council and three will be
elected.
Yesterday saw the expected number of
last-minute announcements, including two
for vice-president—Ogden Johnson and
Norton Winnard. The new candidates
and the offices to which they aspire are
listed below:
Ogden Johnson, candidate for vice
president, has been prominent in student
activities. He is now assistant manager
of baseball, and was for a short time
circulation manager of the Emerald. He

Last of Series With 0. A. C.
to Be Finished Today.
The University of Washington baseball
line lias arrived in this section and is
ilaying the last of their two-game series
vitk the Oregon Aggies today. Tomor
'ow the Sundodgers will arrive here for
he series with the varsity nine. Coach
Jollier has not given out his lineup for
he game yet, and there is no certainty
is to who the uniforms will be issued to
omorrow.
Rain has interfered with practice
cliedules and hardly a fair workout has
ieen given the men this week; just who
rill work on the mound for the varsity
s also a matter of speculation yet. The
•regon mentor is non-communicative on
he prospective lineup, although it is
n obable that he may give it out tornor- j
or morning.
Giant Frogs From Louisiana
Do Big Broad Jumps In Lab
•\n involuntary shudder might race up
the spine of one viewing the latest ac
quisition to the biology laboratory, and
most ordinary persons would probably
sa.v. “Ugh! the nasty frogs!”
Uut these are not ordinary frogs, their
bodies are eight inches long. When they
have their legs stretched out, they are
10-ineh frogs. (And one of the students
"ho fondles them insists that frogs are
always measured with their legs stretched
out.)
Anyone who happens to remember their
reactions to the small garden frogs which
used to hop out on the walk at inoppor
tune times, might visit the biology lab
oratory and see if a corresondingly larg
or reaction is produced by a 16-inch
frog. Also, any who consider frog’s legs
a dainty might derive a gluttonous pleas
ure in contemplating the meaty, eight
inch extremity of these froggies.
18 Frogs In Lot.
The frogs (there are 18 of them) ar
rived on the campus last Thursday, all
the way from New Orleans, in a box.
"ithout a bite to eat. They are the
property of the laboratory, and are to be
used in the work of the classes in biol
ogv and physiology.
"Two years are required by these huge
frogs for their development from the
through the tadpole stage and into
real frogs.” says Dr. H. T5. Yocom. in
stuctor in the department of biology.
“These frogs are probably six or eight
years old,” he continued. Their diet
consists ot bugs, tlies, mice, baby (lucks,
or any small animal that comes in their
way.
Of course, there aren't any baby ducks
at the laboratory for them to eat; and.
since house mice are rather active, it is
not likely that they will get any of those
--unless some devoted student captures
some for them. Their meals will prob
ably consist of bugs, but Or. Yocom de
dares that they sometimes go for weeks
at a time without food.
Are Not Active.
Their activity seems to consist mainly
of wiggling their long legs, humping up
their backs, and blinking their pop eyes.
Attacks upon them with a lead pencil
and a small stream of cold water from
the lab. hose failed to excite .them to any
further movement, though Oscar Rich
ards. a student in the department, de
dares that some of them have executed
a broad jump of two feet or so when
he put them out on the floor. “They
come down with an awful thud.” he says
“Do they croak like other frogs?”
“[ am told.” said Richards, “that in
their native swamps, they simply
roar. Rut since we have had those, they
have not made any sound.’
It being around quiz time, the frogs
probably have refrained from iacfcling
any roar to that customarily made by
students at that critical period. The
chances are, however, that the olive
green Louisianians will “croak” one by
one, as the days go by.
Local Is Tenth Organization
of Similar Nature in
United States.
OFFICERS ELECTED
FOR COMING YEAR
Floyd Maxwell Is President;
Ellsworth and Ashcraft
Hold Positions.
Fiual action in the formation of the
University of Oregon Ad Club was taken
at a meeting last night, and with 15
charter members the club is now one of
the recognized cartipus' organizations. The
object of the new organization is to pro
mote a more lively interest in the sub
ject of advertising on the campus and
elsewhere, and to bring to bear the in
fluence and practical assistance of the
club in matters affecting the welfare of
the University in which the power of
publicity may be used.
The main idea in 'the organization of
the club as is seen in the purposes given,
is a great deal similar to that of the
Portland Ad Club and similar clubs in
other cities throughout the country, and
it has been modeled a great deal after
the fashion of these progressive organi
zations. Regular programs for the fol
lowing out of a better advertising cam
paign and the studying of practical ad
vertising problems will be arranged and
taken up in the meeting of the clubs, and
a number of prominent advertising men
throughout the state will be guests of the
organization from time to time to assist
in these programs.
To Aid Publicity Work.
It is the plan of the club to take a |
prominent and active part in the pub
licity work of the University and it will
strive towards this end. Among the sug
gested ideas which will be carried out
will be a questionnaire campaign to as
certain the value of various pamphlets
and booklets sent out by the University,
and a report on the best methods of
publicity work along this line.
One of the first resolutions adopted
at the meeting of the club last night was
the endorsement of the plans for the
memorial to the soldier dead, and an offer
of assistance in the matter of working
out the publicity campaign for the gath
ering in of the contributions to make this
memorial a success.
way Aiimaie wun a. a. w.
Action was taken at the first meeting
to bring about an affiliation of the local
club with the Associated Advertising
Clubs of the World, and according to
communications received recently by
Professor Thacher, who conceived the
idea of the club on the Oregon campus,
this can be arranged with little diffi
culty. The club at the University of
Oregon is the tenth organization of ad
vertising students in the United States.
Other clubs are at the University of Wis
consin. New York University, Syracuse
University, the University of California
and other schools.
Officers elected at the meeting last
night will hold over for next year, on
account of the few remaining weeks in
Hie present school year. The newly elect
ed officers are as follows: President.
Floyd Maxwell; vice-president, Harris
Ellsworth; secretary-treasurer, Le Roy
Ashcraft.
The 15 charter members of the new
organization are Arthur Rase, Robert
Callahan. Henry Judd. Wilbur Phillips,
Morgan Staton. A. G. Rae, T. P. Strong,
W .F. G. Thacher, LeRoy Ashcraft, Wil
ford Allen. Floyd Maxwell, Earl Kiliher.
R. Hill.vard, Eugene Short and Harris
Ellsworth.
The membership wil be added to from
time to time, students who are interested
in advertising and who are members of
the advertising classes being eligible for
membership.
girls want jobs next year.
Inquiries all the way from Oklahoma
and California have come to the Y. W.
C. A. employment bureau asking about
positions for next year. Both of the
ilr’s who have written to Miss Hinsdale,
secretary, are planning to come to the
University next fall and want to secure
jobs.
MEETING IS ANNOUNCED.
A meeting will be held in Hean Straub s
office in the Ad Building at 7:1.T o’clock
tonight for all aspirants for manager’s
posihorr on University athletic teams
\ny l ien who want to quality for a man
ner's position are urged to be present.
FIFTEEN OF SIXTEEN
MEN ON TEAM PICKED
FOB TBIP TO SEATTLE
Pole Vaulter for Meiet With
Washington Will Be
Selected Today
PURDY AND PELTIER
WILL RUN HALF MILE
Oberteuffer, Hemenway and
Larson to Take Part
In Sprints.
Fifteen of the 16 men to make the trip
to Seattle were eltosen as a result of the
tryouts last night and the doughnut meet
last Saturday. The only man not picked
as yet is the oue tp enter the pole vault,
and he will be chosen from among four
.men this afternoon.
Three sprinters are to make the trip.
Larson, Hehienway and Oberteuffer.
These men will enter both the 100 yard
dash and the 220 yard dash. Oberteuffer
and Hemenway are also entered in the
low hurdles. The sprinters all showed
up in good form last Saturday, and are
looking far better than they were figured
at the opening of the season. Washing
ton will put n good sprint team into the
field also, and the Oregon men will have
to step out to beat them.
Three men will enter the 440 yard run
from Oregon. Collins, Wyatt and Sun
dcrleaf all run well in this event and
should be able to take some points. Suu
derleaf was a member of the team last
year, and Collins aud Wyatt Were both
on the frosh squad. Lucas will also go,
aud with these three will compose the
relay team.
Purdy and Feltier will go in the half
mile event. Peltier has been sick during
the last week, but is in good shape. With
two days rest he should be hitting his
usual stride.
V/alkley and Koepp Run Mile.
In the mile aud two mile, Walkley and
"Koepp will be Oregon’s entries. Walk
ley was also a member of the team last
season and sthould be able to take the
two mile event up north. Koepp runs a
mighty pretty race in the mile, and Walk
ley docs not finish far behind him.
From the dope sheet Washington seems
to have the edge on Oregon, os far as the
runs are concerned. In the field events
Oregon should be able to overcome this
lead considerably.
Only two men, Kuenhausen and Black
aby, will enter the high hurdles for the
varsity, but in the low hurdle event Ober
teuffer aud Hemenway will enter besides
these two. It is evident that Coach Bill
Hayward is planning to grab a few extra
points in this event, with four men en
tered.
Blaekaby will handle the high jump,
and Kuenhausen and Blaekaby the broad
jump. Blaekaby will have his hands ful
at Seattle with two hurdle races and
two jumps, but he is good in all these.

FACULTY TO DECIDE
CAP AND GOWN ISSUE
Vote Also to Be Taken This Afternoon
On Law School’s Request For
' Revision of Grading.
A vote on several matters of import
ance, as well as committee reports on
certain questions concerning University
affairs, will claim the attention of the
faculty at their meeting this afternoon.
It is expected that a decision will be
reached as to whether or not the faculty
will wear caps and gowns at commence
ment. Opinions of some members have
been decidedly against starting this cus
tom, but others are just as strongly in
favor of it.
A vote will also be taken on the request
made by the law school to revise the
grading system for year courses. 1 he
new plan is to give a provisional grade
at the end of the first and second terms
of the work which will be superseded
by the final grade at the end of the
year.
A motion will be made which will make
it impossible for a student to receive
two grades in four years. In some cur
ricula the courses so overlap that by tak
ing very little extra work the student
could easily apply for two degrees at
the end of this time. Although this sit
uation has never occurred, the question
has arisen, ar.d it is considered advisable
to look into the matter.
The committee which was appointed to
consider the possible revision of the
honor system will make its report.

INFLUENCE OF OREGON
FELT THROUGH WEST
University Standards Recog
nized, Finds Conklin.
I found that Oregon’s influence seems
to be very pervasive, the University is
known everywhere,” said Dr. E. S. Conk
lin, head of the department of psychol
ogy, who recently returned from a three
weeks’ trip during which time lie Visited
11 colleges end universities in the north
west and.Utah.
Dr. Conklin, as a member of the com
mittee on graduate work, was selected by
President Campbell and Dr. George Re
bec, dean of the graduate school, to make
the trip instead of Dr. Rebec, whose ill
health prevented his going. To aid in a
study of the graduate field, the commit
tee wished to get information along the
line of graduate school equipment, to get
acquainted with the faculties of the var
ious graduate schools and to meet per
sons who are applying for assistantships
here. Professor F. L. Stetson, of the
school of education, made a trip into
Washington for the same purpose.
“I spent a day in each of the eleven
schools,” said Dr. Conklin, “sometimes
having a day and night journey between
places. Everywhere I went, I met Ore
gon graduates and former students, and
F always found that Oregon was not only
known, but favorably known. T was con
stantly receiving congratulations on the
educational standards of the University."
Schools visited by Dr. Conklin are:
College of Idaho. Caldwell: Gooding Col
lege, Gooding, Tdaho; Idaho Technical
Institute. Pocatello: Agricultural College,
Logan'. Utah: State University of Utah,
Salt* Lake City; Westminster College,
Salt Lake; Brigham Young University.
Provo. Utah; Montana School of Mines.
Butte: Agricultural College, Bozeman
Montana: Montana Wesleyan College,
Helena; University of Montana, Missoula.
“I found the larger schools very
crowded,’ said Dr. Conklin, “but the
smaller ones could take care of a good
many more students.”
TRACK DAY Mir BE
ADOPTED ON CAMPUS
is nr feme
Hayward Field to Be Put In
Shape, Saturday, May 7,
For P. 0. C. Meet.
ALL MEN STUDENTS

Parade to Start at A. T. 0.
House, 8 o’clock; Lunch
» eon Served at Noon.
Track Day, a fitting name for the big
campus work day which is scheduled foy
Saturday, May 7. promises to become oue
of the traditional work days on the Ore
gon campus and will make its initial bow
to the Oregon campus as a feature of
the festivities for the Mothers’ Day
week-end. The decision to hold the an
nual Track Day. at which time all the
men students nre to assist, in getting the
new track into shape for the Pacific
Coast Conference track and field meet,
was reached after its endorsement by
the student, council, the Order of the
“O” and other prominent campus orga
nizations. The tiecessity for such a day
grew out of the fact that there remains
a great deal of work to be performed on
the new oval before it is in shape for
the big meet.
Frosh Labor Insufficient.
Freshman labor his so far been em
ployed in getting the track into shape
but the slow response by the first year
men to the urgent call for work, has
made the need of getting the entire stu
dent body to assist an urgent one. Plans
for taking care of the work will bo in the
hands of the Order of the “O,” and at
a meeting yesterday afternoon arrange
ments for a man to be in charge of each
group to work on the different parts of
the track and field wcrc^mnde.
The men who nre trying out for the
various manager positions of the othlctic
teams will also take a prominent part
in the work program and will be in charge
of various aspects of the work under
the supervision of the Order of the “O.”
Over half of the men students are ex
pected to be on hand to take part in the
work which will begin at 8 o’clock an.l
will end nt. Saturday noon.
Parade to Start at A. T. O’s.
Acting Graduate Manager Jack Bene
ficl announces that the work to be per
formed will consist of building fenceb,
rolling the track, making repairs to the
grandstand and bleachers and laying
drainage pipe. With a good tournout
it. is expected that all the necessary
tasks can be completed easily before
noon.
The plans as projected by the Order of
the O, call for the parade to begin at
the A. T. O. house near Eleventh street
at S o’clock from there the procession
will gather in all the men available from
the various living organizations until
Ilayward Field is reached when the
work will begin.
At noon the laborers will take their
place in the line for the campus lunche
on, and work will be over for the day.
Amusement will be furnished for the
afternoon in tho shape of the Oregon
Washington hall game which will begiu
promptly at. 2 o’clock.
HOLLIS HUNTINGTON
MAY COACH SALEM HIGH
Capitol City School Wants Former Ore
gon Football Star As Next Year’s
Athletic Coach.
Hollis Huntington, former Oregon font
bull star and brother of Coach “Shy”
Huntington, has been offered a position
as coach of athletics at Salem high school
for next year, according to n story car
ried in a Ihte edition of a Salem News
paper.
The school board of the Capitol City
has wired Huntington that the position
will be open to him if he cares to ac
cept. but. his decision has not yet been
received. Huntington is known to have
received several offers from various high
schools, some of them more remunera
tive than that made by Salem.
T.ast year he coached the Anaconda.
Montana, high school eleven to the cham
pionship of the state for the first time
in the history of the school. Tn spite of
the competing offers made by other cit
ies for the services of Huntington as high
school coach, the Salem school is still
hopeful of securing his services. George
tV. Hug, superintendent of the Salem
schools and an Oregon graduate, is con
ducting the negotiations with Hunting
ton,
