NO. 139. HIE COMMITTEES WILL BE APPOINTEI) SOON. SAYS SK Various Activities to, Receive Student and Alumni Representation. PLAN FEATURE OF NEW CONSTITUTION Recommendations Are Asked For This Week; Form Part of New Budget System. The appointment of nine activity com-, mittees to serve during next year will l.e made sometime this week, according to Carlton Savage, student body president, and prospective members of these com mittees are now being considered. These activity committees are a feature of stu dent government introduced by the new *' • S. U. O. constitution adopted in March. Committees to be appointed include oni for each of the following student activi ties: Football, track, basketball, base ball. minor athletics, women’s afldeticiy forensics, publications and musical orga nizations. The constitution provides for a student majority on each committee with no other stipulation for the number to be appointed. One member of the faculty will be appointed on each com mittee and one alumni member on each committee. This would make a minimum of two student members on each com mittee other than athletic committees, on which the student members would be a minimum. These activity committees are to be appointed by the President of the Uni versity, the retiring president and presi dent-elect of the associated students be fore June 1. “We hope that a number of recommendations will be made to us before we appoint the members of these committees,” said Savage in describing the manner in which the personnel of the committees will be selected. “It would certainly aid us in our selections if several students would recommend certain friends whom they think would serve well on any of these committees. Should any students wish to make any such suggestions, either Lyle Bartholo mew or myself would be glad to receive them for consideration before Thursday noon.” The duties of the committees as out lined in the new constitution are as fol lows: “The activity committee shall safeguard and promote the interests of the student activity which they repre sent; shall make recommendations to. the Executive Council regarding matters of policy; and shall submit estimates for the budget for their respective activities to the finance committee.” Since the activity committees form an integral part of the budget system which will be used for the first time next year, membership on these committees is con sidered quite important. The members will assume their new duties on June 4. when the newly-elected student officers take office. PHI DELTA KAPPA TO BANQUET. Phi Delta Kappa will hold a banquet at the Osburn hotel Friday night. D. A. Grout, of Portland, and T. K. I ole. as sistant superintendent of schools at Se ttle, will be present.

WOMEN TO GIVE SWIM Special Program to Be Arranged For Afternoon of June 4. A swimming program is being ar ranged for the afternoon of June 4 by Miss Catharine Winslow, instructor in swimming. The program will take the place of the meet with the Oregon Agri cultural College, which has been an an nual event for several years. Miss Win slow will be assisted by Miss Emma M a terman and Miss Frances Moore, as sistant instructor in swimming. The programs will include demonstra tions of forms of strokes, racing, div ing. water stunts and life-saving meth ods Members of the beginning dass-s will participate as well as the intermedi ate and advanced swimmers. Invitations will be issued to the faculty and towns people. since lack of room prevents a general admission of the student dobv. Radiators Run Full Tilt; Journalism Shack Hot As With the sudden advent of summer weather, journalism and students are leading the way to the cool waters of the millraee. In the words of a well known advertiser, “there’s a reason. The journalism shack, the reporter had little difficulty in ascertaining, is ^equip ped with a most cantankerously “heat ing” system. On those dark, chilly days of the winter and spring, do you suppose those radiators gave forth of their warmth to the * chilled young Horace Greeks? Thev did not. On those days the heat all went, under the peculiar sys tem in effect, to the warmer buildings on the campus. Now the cold weather has gone and the warm days, decidedly, are hen . - n do those radiators "lay off * 1 weather and give the poor young journal ists a chance to keep their heads cool and their collars clean? If you think so. drop in this afternoon about 3 o clock while the class in elementary V16"'2' writing is in session and listen to the students perspire. The heat is all poured into this campus inferno. But why. the reporter asked of a per spiring inmate of the superhheated shack, does not someone turn off the radiators! Only because, the reporter was informed, that makes no difference; for men may come and men may go, but the steam pours in regardless. The architects fixed the windows so that they will not open, the steamfitters fixed the heat so that it cannot be mod erated in summer, but the ( reator who made Journalism students has not fixed them so that they cannot light out and go swimming. They’re off for the millraee. while in an unventilated office, with a window that lets in heat but no air. is Professor Thacher sitting close to a radiator writ ing a letter to Mr. Newell. This letter is of clearness, force and elegance, all compact. Balm of Gilead Not Confined to Bible Alone; Several of Them Found on Campus (Editor’s Note—This is the first of two articles on the tilings we see on the campus every day and do not recognize.) , (By Jean Strachan.) Some people know a lot about slmibs and trees, and others don’t know so much. Miss Ethel I. Sanborn knows a lot. Of course, everyone knows that the big spreading trees beside the library are maples; and that the row in front of the administration building—those that have so many dry pods hanging, and jaren’t fully leaved out—are black lo custs; and almost everyone knows that the row of smaller trees that runs in the ■parking all the way down to Kincaid street from Friendly hall, are catalpas. Both the locusts and catalpas have lovely white blossoms, those of the locust being so aggressively fragrant that they give you hay fever if you don’t watch out. ( Another flowering tree on the campus j is the mw) There is one in bloom now on the President's lawn. Its blossoms are a very deep pink, and it is the only flowering tree in the clump in front of the house, so you couldn’t miss it. Then, there is another member of the haw fam ily growing at the foot of the long walk from Deady to Twelfth street. There are twin haws there, one on each sole of the plot between the two arms of the walk. These haws are not yet in flower, but they are full of promise. Among the flowering trees, also, may be mentioned the mountain ash. which is in bloom now, in the open space south of Deady. In the fall, it will have flat bunches of red berries. East of the mountain ash. grows a trim little tree which looks very unpreten tious. But it is a pitcher leaved birch, a pedigreed tree from the Bong Island bo tanical gardens. Its leaves are divided like rose leaves, and the end one should have had its edges grown together to form little pitchers. Miss Sanborn said sslio once had to make a detailed dia gram of the tree, showing every branch and every leaf, and indicating whether or not the tree was producing pitchers true to type, so that a report could be made to the botanical gardens. The reporter didn't know that balm of Gilead was anything outside the Bible, but it is—it’s a tree—in fact, it's several trees. Four or five of them grow on the northwest, corner of the campus—down where the lawn isn’t mowed. Balm of Gilead is commonly called balsam pop lar. If you nre anything of a tree fan cier. of course you admire those every time you go to the corner drug store. If you should come up from the corner store, and should take the first path to your right., and should follow it to Deady, you'd notice that there is a row of dainty, rather small trees with white trunks, on the right of the driveway. Those nre white hirch. The reporter’s connotation of birch is-—well, never mind. That abbreviated tree, near the north west corner of Deady, is a cherry laurel, (primus earoliniann), a member of the rose. One cold winter it was frozen, and it has never looked like anything since. (Moral—don’t get frozen.) The tall tree beside primus—the one that has shed all vthe flanged seed pods in the grass—is an elm. If you go along the path toward \ d lard, and look to your right, you’ll see a large well-shaped tree with round balls like nuts hanging from string-like stems. That is platanus orientals, or oriental plane tree. The American platanus is commonly called sycamore or button wood. Sometimes this tree with the odd seed pods is called exotic maple. Now. if you’ll go back to the path there, and go along a little way, you’ll come to two trees of European, or Eng lish oak. They are trim looking trees with fresh green leaves. In the fall, the (Continued on Pape 4) Markham Inspired to Poetry by Beauty of Dosch Statue “Exaltation!” Thq word expresses, the comment of Edwin Markham, the poet, when his attention was called, on his recent visit here, to “The New Earth,” statue by Roswell Dosch. “Yes. I like it—I’d like to write you a poem about it.” the great poet said to Mrs. I’. L. Campbell, who told him something about the ideals of the young sculptor. Itoswell Dosch put into the face and figure of “The New Earth” his eoncep-j tion of the new democracy that was to come out of the war. which he hated for its greed and selfishness. The statue represents the figure of a young man who has broken the fetters that bound his hands, and has risen to full height with face upturned and alight with re newed hope, strength, and life. Roswell Dosch was a member of the I'niversity art department when lie made the statue He died soon after its completion. “May I have a photograph of it?” asked Edwin Markham. “The idea is the same as I have put into about 20 of my poems, and I’d like to write one about it.” Mrs. Campbell assured the poet that she would send him a photograph of the little statue. It was a curious coincidence that only a few minutes after his admiration of the Dosch statue, Edwin Markham ex pressed his feeling for the democracy of th(* campus in much the same terms that the young sculptor used on the day of his departure for government service. An extract from Mr. Dosch’s message follows: “The longer I stay at Oregon the more I want to stay. Each new day is an opportunity for me: a demonstra tion to me that by unselfishness and ju.stieio a human democracy can he worked out. and only on these principles I feel it through every pulse of the TTni versity; therefore. I long to stay, that I may take some part of it into my own being.” Said Edwin Markham: “A wonderful democracy is here. I have visited many universities, but I have never before had this feeling on a campus. It is that bioad. fine democracy founded on the brotherhood of man.” The poet went on to say that he liked the friendly mixing of faculty and students. There was no standing off stiffly on the part of pro fessors. ho said. “I think,” he added, “that it may be due to the democratic spirit of your presi dent and—to you.” he finished, turning to Mrs. Campbell with his gracious smile. Chi Psi Is Humbled By 33-2 Defeat. Hivalinn the huge scores made by the women in their doughnut baseball league, the Friendly hall sluggers swatted the sphere over the lot for a total of 33 tallies in a contest with the Chi Psi nine yesterday afternoon in the second of the sandlot series. The Chi Psi team was unable to connect with the horsehide, and succeeded in forcing but two men over tin* home plate. Just how many runs might have been registered is a matter, of conjecture, for the game was called after the fifth in ning. Every man but one (all names withheld) on the Friendly team had three scores chalked up to their credit, while one had six. Twice during the game IS men came to bat in a single inning. Darkness put an end to Du play, spoiling all chances of running up what might have been a record score. The lineups follow: ('hi Psi— Friendly— Shirley Hoyt H. Gant Weller Loop Thomas O.

Hale, of the Oregon Law School, haw accepted a position as in structor in the last half of the Stanford summer school. He expects to drive down some time the middle or latter part of July. “The summer term will close September said Dean Hale yesterday, “and before returning to Oregon I plan on taking a short vacation in California.” GEORGE HUG REFUSES < MANAGERIAL POSITION < George \V. Hug. superintendent of Salem public schools, this after noon declined the position of grad uate manager of athletics, tendered him by the University of Oregon several days ago. and announced that he will remain as head of the local school system next year. A reluctance to terminate his activities in educational work, in which he has been engaged for many years, was given by Mr. Hug as his reason for refusing to go to the Eugene school which, it is un derstood, would offer him far more money than he will receive in Sa lem. (Salem Capitol-Jourual, May" 2,'?.) Both tho Associated and United press services carried word of Mr. ling's refusal last night, though his official rejection has not been received here. Pending this, no action toward obtaining the services of a graduate manager will be taken by the athletic council. ■HESTfll TO GIVE CONCERT Oil JUDE 3 Polished Program Scheduled For Home Appearance. The University orchestra will give its first home concert in the Eugene the ater on Friday evening, June 3. This will be the climax of the most active season through which the organi zation has ever passed. Practically nine months of hard work on the part of Ilex Underwood, the director, and the orches tra members, whose number has this year mounted to 35, should go to make the coming concert the best ever given by the organization. '""'The program for the concert will be for the most part the same as that used on the spring tour in Southern Oregon. In all the towns in which concerts were given great enthusiasm was shown by the audiences. The whole of the pro gram seemed to please immensely. It is worked out in such n way ns to give a balnnce of the best of good music and the best of light music, Mr. Underwood’s idea being to please everyone. Comment from listeners in Southern Oregon give him due credit for the building up of the program. Although many appearances have boon made by the orchestra in Eugene, this wil l)p the first time that a real borne concert has ever been given on the same basis ns the concerts of the glee clubs. During the last two years a number of free concerts were given and one dance was staged at the armory in order to raise money for the purchase or several instruments to he used in the Cuming concert. This is to he the first big con cert. It is the plan of Mr. Underwood to give the program a real professional finish such as would not have been pos sible before the tour. “There is nothing like a tour to put the professional finish on the work of an organization,” be said. One of the strongest features in the cert will be the “jazz” act. The one used in Southern Oregon wil i.e the back bone for a big stunt in which the direc tor hopes to use the whole orchestra, lie says that he is going to surprise the listeners with something entirely original. The soloist will probably be Alberta J'otter, violin, Herbert Hacker, trombone, and Frank Jue. tenor. A cello ipiartet composed of Carpenter Staples, Agnes Kennedy, John Anderson and Ralph Iloe ber will be one of the features. It is the plan of the orchestra man agement to make the home concert an annual affair. MRS. ALMACK BETTER Going With Husband Soon to Palo Alto, Where He Will Take Work. Mrs. John C.
