BILLOT JI1. S. II. 0, ELECTIONS TBURSDJT Five Nominated by Petition; Elaine Cooper and Maurice Eben Added. PRACTICAL FUNSTERS AROUSE POLITICIANS Voting to be From 10 Until 2 In Villard; Elmer Pendell Is in Charge. Five candidates not nominated at the regular nominating assembly will have their names on the ballot at the polls Thursday, nominating petitions for this number having been accepted Saturday. The total number of candidates is now thirty-six. Elaine Cooper, candidate for ' senior woman on the student council, and Mau rice Eben, candidate for senior man on the student council, are the latest to have petitions accepted. Others an nounced Saturday morning are Alice Ev ans and Ila Nichols, candidates for senior woman on the council, and Neil Morfitt candidate for senior man. Elections will be held Thursday from 1(1 a. m. until 2 p. in., and polls will be located in Villard lial, according to the announcement of Elmer Pendell, in charge of the election. Ballots are now being prepared, and candidates are to be given until noon today to withdraw their names if they wish to do so. The statement in Saturday’s Emerald that elections would j bo held on Wednesday was incorrect. Al though the constitution states that elec-! tions shall be held on Wednesday, it also says that nominations shall be a week previous to election. It has, therefore, been decided to hold elections on Thurs day, one week from nominations. Pranks Create Excitement. Practical jokesteps had their innings Saturday, and created considerable excite ment among campus politicians and can didates when the news spread around the campus that a now candidate for A. S U. O. president had been nominated by petition. All sorts of twists were given to the rumor, and some even went to fai as to concede his election. The popular candidate was James Sears, who all unknowingly leapt into fame overnight. Fifteen campus humor ists conceived the idea of stirring things up and prepared « bona fide petition nominating the uninformed Sears as pres ident. Ernest Evans was also placed in nomination by the humorists as varsity yell leader. lymphatic denials by the two candidates that they would, could, or even thought of running for office were received by Carlton Savage, student president, yes terday. The two candidates had not known that their names were to bo placed on the ballot until some jokesters weakened and informed them of the sit uation. They immediately requested that their candidacy be withdrawn. Including all petitions accepted up to (> o’clock Saturday evening, only one of fice will go uncontested. Inez King candidate for editor of the Oregnnn. has. no opposition, and will accordingly fill that office next year. The petition nominating Maurice Ebon was the last to be received, and it was thought that there "would be no contest over the position of senior man on the student council. There arc now four in the race, however, with three to be elected. PORTLAND GUESTS HERE Extension Division Instructors Visit During Week Eend. Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Warrington, of Portland, were visitors on the campus last week, as guests of the extension division. Mr. Warrington is head of the department of commercial French and Spanish in the Portland Center. He is also the originator of the method of leaching Spanish and French by pictures Mrs. Margaret Sharp, secretary of the Portland Center, was also pn the campus ’nd stayed over for the dedication of the Women’s building in order to be of what 1ssistance she could to Mrs. Irene Ger Hoger in arranging for the celebration CARPENTER LEAVES CAMPUS.

In conformity with the decree of tlu Order of the “O.” all able-bodied men o: the University—except those who chose to do otherwise—reported for work or Hayward field Saturday morning. About 250 reported, but for some mys terious reason only about 100 were stir on duty at noon. However, when “cliow time” came around, there seemed to be even more than the original 250 on deck And the labors of the faithful were not in vain, for the whole track was rolled the grandstand was repaired, fences were erected around part of the field, and paths to the high jump were laid out. On the whole, the prospects for the spring track meet look much brighter now than they did a few weeks ago. Washington Takes Dual Meet by 88 to 43 Score. Arthur Tuck, of the Oregon varsity broke the Pacific coast javelin record in the meet with the University of Wash ington last Saturday, which AA’ashington won by a score of 88 to 43. Tuck’s throw measured 192 feet, 4 inches. Tuck was allowed three throws after the regular competition throws and it was on one of these that he made his record. Coach Bill Hayward claims that the throw is a national record, although there is some dispute regarding this. Oregon’s sprint team sprung some surprises in the dashes. AVashington was figured to take at least two and probably three places in both the 100 yard and 220 yard dashes. In the hundred Lar sen, of Oregon, stepped out and barely lost the race by a few inches, lioscoe Hemenway, of the Lemon-Yellow team took third. In the 220, Larsen, Hemen way and Oberteuffer were leading the race until shortly before the finish when they mistook the finish posts of the shorter distance race for the end of the 220 and slowed. Larsen struck his stride again and was then able to finish second. Glenn AA’alkley won the mile for Ore gon. He was figured for a first in the iwo mile, but the mile was a hard one ind he was only able to plade third. Blackburn, of Oregon, gave Foster, of Washington, a close race for first place jut was able to get a second. Gus Pope, of Washington, tried for a , iew discus recond, and on one throw put ,| the plate ou* 154 feet, 4 inches. This throw was disallowed as Pope stepped , out of the ring. He should be able to easily set a new record this year, how . I ever. ] Blackab.v and Tuck tied for high point ! honors for Oregon. Each of these men ,j took a first, a second, ,and a third. Black a by won the broad jump, took second in the high jump, and a third in the high hurdles. Tuck won the javelin, took a second in the discus, and a third in the shot. I FOREIGN TRADE CLUB * ORGANIZATION URGED Meeting Will Be Held This Week For 1 Purpose of Forming New Commerce Society. plans fur the establishment of a for 1 eign trade club are to be discussed at a 1 meeting of foreign trade majors this week. It is thought that with the orga nization of such a club to co-operate with the foreign trade branch of the chamber of commerce of the administra : tion school, that much more would be, accomplished than to have either orga-'j nization working alone. It is expected that the chief object of : the club will be to form a closer rela tionship between the foreign trade stu dents and men intimately connected with the trade world. Trade experts and men with practical knowledge of foreign trade conditions will be obtained as speakers for the various classes interested in that subject. By these connections the stu dent will gain close relationship with experienced men with whom they may I have dealings in future life when they take up their chosen vocation. The ex act date of the meeting will be an nounced in the Emerald. VISITOR HERE FROM HAWAII. Professor Maurice Cn Greenley. of lonolulu. Hawaii, has been the guest of ‘rofessor and Mrs. C. M. Hogan for everal .lavs. Professor Greenly was ssociated with Mr. Hogan in school work t the Mid-Pacific Institute at Honolulu uriug the year 1913-14. sums TIKE SECOND OF SERIES FAOM VARSITY NINE Teams Break Even; Saturday Score. 6 to 2; Speed Lacking. VISITORS PUt1)VER FOUR RUNS IN SIXTH Bohler Uses Two Pitchers To Stop Hitting; Rally Started. Staging a comeback in the Saturday afternoon game, the Sun Dodgers took the second of the series from the varsity nine by a score of (5 to w, making it an even break, although the Northerners took both games of the series in Seattle earlier in the season, which gives them the edge. Saturday’s game was hardly up to the standard of the first contest and lacked the speed and finish, espec ially on the part of the Oregon nine. Coach Bolder used both his southpaw twirlers in an effort to stop the Sun Dodgers, sending Berg back into the game Saturday, in place of Knudsen in the sixth inning. The sixth was the fatal inning for the varsity, the visitors put ting over four runs before they were st opped. Coach Allison kept Leonard in the box for the Sun Dodgers, and he pitched good ball throughout the game, allowing five hits, and in addition to this was re sponsible for three of the six runs which the Washington nine put across the plate. Carl Knudsen, who worked on the mound for the first six innings for the varsity, also figured prominently in the runs which Oregon chalked up, the southpaw twirler slamming out a home run in the sixth inning, the bases being empty, however. First Score in Third. The Sun Dodgers put their first run across in the third frame when Leonard went to first on an error and made the circuit,'^coming home on a wild throw to first wheu Knudsen attempted to catch Torrence napping off first. Land preceded Leonard around the crieuit but was caught in an attempt to steal home This lone tally in the third completed the scoring until the opening of the sixth then the Sun Dodgers started their at tack, and with the clearing away of the smoke the scoreboard showed them tc have slipped over four runs. Leonard was the first man up in the sixth and he reached first on an error. Torrence followed Leonard and he also took the initial sack on an error. Coach Bolder sent Berg in for Knudsen, w’hen Welts was walked, and with the bases full, the big southpaw had a real task on Ids hands. Knudsen pitched good ball hut Bolder was evidently taking nr (Continued on Page 4.) TRIGUUR IREK MEET WON BY FROSH Washington High Makes Good Showing; Events Slow Eugene high school’s inability to score points furnished Lemon-Yellow sport fans subject for considerable hilarious wit at the triangular track meet, held Saturday in which the Oregon Frosli.

V •'hat the s"tate of Oregon has a sym phony orchestra deserving of its most enthusiastic moral and financial support was evidenced to the residents of Eugene and out of town guests when the Portland forces under the baton of Mr. Carl Den ton appeared Saturday evening, ns the gala musical event in connection with the dedication of the Women’s building. As a fitting comment and mark of ap preciation of the genuine interest shown by both conductor and players in their task, let it be said that, for several years they have, at great sacrifice and with true devotion to artistic ideals, main tained an organization of this calibre in order that the residents of the northwest might not be denied the necessary oppor tunity of hearing the best in symphonic music. No one who has ever spent even the shortest time in musical centers will deny that one of the most potent forces in maintaining a musical atmosphere of the highest type is a symphony properly conducted and properly supported. The numbers chosen for the Eugene concert, from the Dvorak “New World’’ symphony to Halvorsen’s Triumphal March, which completed the program called for an enormous variety of moods which the Portlanders succeeded very well in portraying. The brass and string sections showed up especially well in the Liszt Preludes; the oboe added its som bre bit in the largo of the symphony with telling effect. David Campbell, in whom the Univer sity is directly interested, proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that he was well fitted to sustain the enviable reputation which had preceded him. He showed himself an artist of unlimited technical vocabulary, possessing an unswerving erf act idea of tonal balance, and that ele ment. of soul which elevates the true genius from the mire of the common place. Dazzling octave passages, lus cious melodies in graceful uuauee, well timed pedaling combined to make liis playing a most happy and satisfying ex perience. long to be remembered. Would that more people might contract the much-to-be-desired habit of attending orchestral concerts, and of thus acquaint ing themselves with a musical form in which so many, we find, are none too well versed. Only through experience can such knowledge be obtained. HAMMER ID COFFIN CITED IS GRANTED Lemon Punch Society Receives Recognition of Merit.

MOTHERS' If MIT BE MIL CIMPUS EVENT Visitors Notice Many Ghanges In Recent Years. “We hope the mothers of University students will mnke this an annual event,” thus Carlton Savage, president of the A. S. IJ. O., expressed the sentiment of the entire student body of the University of Oregon, at the Mothers’ Day vesper | service in Villard hall, on Sunday. I Mothers begun to arrive on Friday and by Saturday morning it seemed that they were a real part of the campus. The Women’s building on Saturday morning was the principal attraction and after that the inspection of the campus occu pied their time. Perhaps the most in terested of the visiting mothers were those who were formerly students of the University. No student truly realizes the changes that the last few years liftve brought to the campus until he hears the comments of these former students and their comparison of things as they used to be with things as they are. Following tin- inspection trip, the cam pus luncheon attracted everyone, both students and visitors. Plenty of good things to eat, good music and the real Oregon Spirit of good fellowship made? this one of the most enjoyable events of the entire week-end. Saturday afternoon the program and receptions at the Women’s building, the tea at Susan Campbell hall and the base ball game attracted many. A number of informal dinners were given in honor of visiting mothers in the evening und then the Symphony concert provided the evening’s pleasure. Sunday, however, was really Mothers' Day and it was then that the visiting mothers were most honored. Every church in the city was the scene of u special service in the morning. In the afternoon the vesper service at Villurd hall was the University contribution to the day’s observance. After the opening musical program the mothers were welcomed by Carlton Savage. The response was given by Mrs. Richard Cartwright, of Salem. The principal address of the afternoon was given by Professor Graham Taylor of Chicago. lie paid an eloquent to the mothers of America and their self-sacri ficing loyalty. Following the Vesper service the Y W. C. A. cabinet members entertained at a tea at the bungalow. Miss Gertrude Talbot presided, in the absence of Dean Fox. and the cabinet members were as sisted by Mrs. John Stark Evans, presi dent of the advisory board, and Miss Dinsdale, secretary of the association.

The building will not be an inspiration to the women of the University alone.” he added, “but every department in the University will feel the challenge of the standards set by it.” President Campbell read the names en graved on the memorial tablet in aluinn'1 * hall and spoke of the gifts, large and small, from the 1200 donors who con tributed the $100,000 in voluntary sub scriptions to the fund, which was doubled by state appropritions.
