With the approach of the final exam
inations for'the winter term, which are
to be held March 22, 23 and 24, most of
the campus activities have been slowed
down. Although examinations are not
scheduled to begin until the middle of
next week, dates are practically taboo
from now on until the close of the term.
The rule prohibiting social activities on
the campus is effective starting with this
week-end.
Schedule Takes Precedence
In the schedule of examinations all i
courses not mentioned are to be ari^jged : -
for by the instructor. >Variafi®s<"fi-om (
the regular schedule' may be made only
by faculty permission. In ease of con- j .
flicts between scheduled examinations
and those in two hour, and irregular
courses, scheduled examinations take
precedence. All examinations will be .
held in the regular class rooms unless 1
otherwise announced. ,
The preliminaries have already started ^
and the little figures that appear after
many names in the publication that J
comes out after examinations will be reg
ulated more or less by the activity dis
played during the next few days, as well
as by the efforts of the past three '
months.
Last Emerald Saturday
The end of the present week marks the
end of the term’s work for the members
of The Emerald staff. The last issue '
of the term will be Saturday morning (
and the members of the staff will be
given all of next week free from the
duties of news gathering to prepare for '
the final examinations.
A few little facts called from last 1c
term’s “Scandal Sheet” will brighten
the gloom that hangs over the campus. *
A careful perusal of the reports of last 1
term’s grades shows that a total of 2536
hours were flunked by the students. That '
was more hours than there were students
in the University last semester. And. ‘‘
this term there are less students than
there were then.
Men Flunk 1762 Hours
Divided between the men and the co
eds, the figures show that 1762 of the c
total number of hours flunked were bv I

Campus Girls
See Film Star
For Half Fare
“Ain’t she grand? Doncha wish you
were a movin' pitelier actress?” asked
one “small child” of her pig-tailed
companion Saturday afternoon, when
Louise Lovely, film star, appeared in
person at the Eugene theatre. This
group of “small children” were right
in the front row. It was to be a sec
ret, but the hint has gone out that
the close-up of that front row group
of “kiddies” when it is put on at the
Hex will show some well-known Chi
Omegas, in the costume of grammar
school days.
The youngsters scrambled for the
front seats in the middle section, with
their poor dignified, but exhausted
“mothers” bringing up the rear.
“She looked right at me!” boasted
one. And sure enough she did, for
Miss Lovely then told the excited kid
dies in the front row that a “close-up”
was to be taken of them.
“Smile! You don’t have to go back
to school until Monday” the director
shouted as the cameraman started
grinding away at the camera. The kid
dies retied ribbons on their hair, sat
very straight and smiled as only child
ren very much tickled can smile.
Who would ever have guessed that
that these same excited youngsters on
the front row were University of Ore
gon girls? They were! Half the Chi
Omega girls dressed as youngsters,
while the other half represented their
fond mothers, and went to see Louise
Lovely on Saturday afternoon.
PLAY WILL BE PRESENTED
FERGUS REDDIE AND CHARLOTTE
BANFIELD TO STAR
‘Merchant of Venice” Tomorrow Night
is Only Shakespearean Drama
to be Given This Year
Tomorrow night and the two nights
following the dramatics company will
produce Shakespeare’s “ Merchant of i
Venice” with Fergus Reddie and Char
otte Banfield playing Shvlock and Por
;ia. The other members of the cast all
lave been seen on the Guild hall stage
lefore and most of the cast have taken
arge parts at least twice this year.
Norvell Thompson will play the part
if Bassanio and Claire Keeney and John
•illestad will have the parts of Lancelot
lobbo and Old Gobbo. These two com
dy parts add much to the play and judg
ng from the rehearsals, the work of these
wo students in this play will surpass
,ny comedy work done in the Guild thea
er this year. Claire Keeney appeared :
n “Why Marry,” the first play of the
ollege year, “The Wedding Guest” and
Pygmalion.” John Ellestad played the
mtler in “The Wedding Guest” and his
elightful Scotch lines added much to ,
hat production.
The play itself is well known to every- '
ne on the campus, as not only is it often
dayed, but it is one of the most read *
f Shakespeare’s plays. However, this '
rill be the first time, as far as is known,
hat the play has been produced in 1
lugene and it is expected that this fact I '•
rill be an added attraction.
The Guild hall productions have been ! 1
etter attended this year than ever be- 1
ore and as Shakespeare's plays have al- '
rays been well received, it is thought by •
hose in charge that this will be no ex- ’
eption.
Professor Reddie, who is directing the
lay, was seen a short time ago in “Dis- ,
leli,” the historical play, and his work ,
ras received enthusiastically by the1,
tudents on the campus and many of i,
hem look forward eagerly to seeing him j,
gain play a leading role. Charlotte ; ^
ianfield also played a lead in “Dis- 1 i
aeli” and her work as the Russian spy ,
eceived much praise.
The costumes will be elaborate and .
olorful and much careful work is being ^
ut on the settings. The play will be (
ivided into four acts and several of the ,
ets will be divided into scenes. <
Additional Fee For Guarantee \
Fund For Musicians Is Favored.
M
The proposed additional of 50 cents a
term to the student body fees for the
purpose of providing a fund for bringing
musicians to the campus was unanimous
ly endorsed yesterday afternoon at a
meeting of a representative group of stu
dents. The meeting was called to explain
the proposition and to allow any sugges
tions which might be brought up.
Dean John J. Landsbury of the school
of music, a member of the music activi
ties committee, brought out that the 50
cent tax would entitle students to admis
sion upon the presentation of the student
body ticket. There was some question
among the representatives of whether or
not anything additional would be re
quired.
He explained that if the proposed plan
should be adopted it would be possible to
^ bring three musicians of the highest
quality each term, instead of only three i
or four each year as in the past year;
or two. In addition to this only the I
best would need to be signed. In case
the committee should see fit to cut down
on the number of concerts and bring an
artist like Madame Schumann-Heink or
Galli Curei to the campus, it would be 1
possible to do so.
The plan was first suggested by the *
music activities committee and was to c
have been discussed at a meeting of the
student council last Wednesday. Due to
a misunderstanding the meeting was not
held. However, a number of the mem
bers of the council have expressed their
approval of the plan.
It was explained that in case the pro
posal were approved it would go into ef
fect next fall. The music activities com-j
mittee would be enabled to start with
their program at the first of the school
year.

HUMOR MAGAZINE
Warren Kays Elected Manager
Eisman and Ellsworth
Retiring Heads
PAPER WILL BE EXPANDEC
Invasion of Greater Fields Plar
of New Officials of
Publication
John “Doc” Braddoek was electee
editor of Lemon Punch and Warier
Kays business manager at a meeting
of Hammer and Coffin society Iasi
night. The new officers will guide the
magazine policy beginning the spring
quarter.
The meeting was held to elect the
new officers and discuss the future foi
the humorous publication. Stanley
1'lisman the retiring editor, and Harris
Ellsworth, business manager, with seve
| ral members of the society were tlu
founders of the magazine. The publi
1 cation was started a year ago in Decern
ber on a shoe string, each man hav
ing JO cents to put into the magazine,
The first issue showed a slight profit
which encouraged the promoters te
continue, until at the present time the
circulation has grown to a healthy
size, which has made it possible to pro
duce a more finished comic, thus plac
ing Lommy oil the list of national maga
zines of this type.
May Increase Size
Braddoek hopes to increase the size
of the magazine and, if possible, to
publish monthly. Since its inception
Lemon Punch has been recognized
throughout the country. Lemmy was
taken into the fold of Hammer and
Coffin publishing society for comic
monthlies a year ago. This honorary
society was established in Stanford in
1906 by Chaparral, comic publication.
Tliore are at present three comics on
the coast with chapters, and the Orange
Owl of O. A. C. is to be installed soon.
It will be the policy of the new edi
tor to give the campus a clean publi
cation.
“I am going to see that smut and
suggestive jokes are kept out of Lemon
Punch. So far it has been a clean
publication and it will be my aim to
make it recognized on this basis,” said
Braddoek after his election.
Warren Kays, the new business man
ager was one of the founders and has
had much experience on the business
end of the staff. He will endeavor to
carry the circulation out of the state
and to the principal cities of the state.
He will also encourage the running of
foreign advertising which will give the
magazine a professional air.
Staff to be Chosen
A new staff will be chosen next
week for the coming two issues from
those members of the society who have
been contributing for the past. year.
Next year additions will be made to
the staff from new and old talent.
There will be plenty of chances for all
students with a humorous vein to dem
onstrate their talents next quarter and
all those who wish to contribute are
urged to do so.
The latest edition of Lemmy is on
the press now and will be ready for
distribution some time next week. This
issue is novel in the fact that it will
be nameless as far as the number is
concerned. The literary work is un
usually good, however, and has some
real smile provokers. This number is
the last one than the editor and man
ager are connected with as Ellsworth
is leaving at the end of the quarter
and Eisman will be busy next quarter
preparing for graduation. Allan Cam
cross, noted for his fables and writer
of much humorous material, is also
one of the old members of the staff
who will be leaving because of gradua
tion.
It was decided at the meeting to give
a dance on Friday after examination,
the function being a farewell for those
leaving the University and a welcom
ing of the new officers. A unique pro
gram is being worked out by the com
mittee. Dinner will be served at the
anchorage with dancing following.
DEAN FOX RECOVERING
Dean Elizabeth Fox returned to the
campus yesterday after an absence of
two weeks. Miss Fox became ill with
the grip after a ahort trip to Portland
and has not been able to come to her
office since that time. Dean Fox said
she wished to express her apprecia
tion for the many lovely flowers and
the words of sympathy sent to her by
the students during her illness.
WEATHER REPORT
Tuesday rain, Moderately southerly
win^s.
Covered Canoe
Might Come If
Spring Doesn Y
' Will Oregon students have to do
their mill raee pigging in one-man top
eanoesf It may eome to this it’ spring
doesn't eome to the resene. One can’t
sit around fire places, drinking choco
late, and juggling salads on shifty
1 knees every Sunday evening through
the entire college year. There is a
limit, although one does enjoy, to a
certain extent, these impromptu teas.
Hut American college people love to
spend afternoons and evenings out-of
doors. They are not a race of tea
fighters.
To get hack to the race, for many
months of the year it runs idly along,
getting no kick out of life until spring.
This year the old felloNv must think, or
did think until last week, that the Uni
versity of Oregon had moved. For
until then piggers were conspicuous by
their absence.
But the advance guard is in sight
and several canoes have been sighted
from the Anchorage, bearing valuable
cargoes, and making their way slug
gishly ^against the current toward a
haven of rest. According to early ex
ercisers on the paddle end of a canoe,
all brothers who intend to furnish the
motive power are advised to go into
training, for the course is a trying one.
However tin- race does not expect
much of a turnout until finals are put
on the shelf, after that those who do
not jump in are expected to furnish
many picnics, for which Oregon is
noted throughout the states.
DRIVE NOT SANCTIONED
COLLECTIONS FOR STUDENT
FUND DECLARED UNOFFICIAL
Head of Campus Committee States That
Solicitations From Freshmen
Women Not Approved
The student friendship fund drive
being conducted among the freshmen
women on the campus is unofficial and
not sanctioned by the 'student drive
committee, according to Raymond Law
rence, chairman of the drive committee,
of the associated students.
“The students have no right to carry
on any drive unless it is approvod by
this drive committee, which is ap
pointed by the student council, and
the drive for funds among the fresh
men women is unlawful because it has
not been brought to the attention of
the committee,” stated Lawrence.
When the promoters of the friendship
fund first proposed to the drive com
mttee the matter of a local drive the
proposition was refused; but a booth
to receive voluntary contributions was
permitted. But such a drive as is now
being carried on by the freshmen wo
men was never contemplated by the
committee in the opinion of Lawrence.
The purpose of the drive committee
is to protect the students from being
solicited for every cause that comes
along, and the intention of the student
council in delegating the power of regu
luting drives to the committee was to
limit tho continual solicitation of funds
on the campus. “Tho financial condi
| tion of tho students is such that drives
should be limited practically to stu
j dent organizations,” said Lawrence.

GYM DEPARTMENT
PEAKS ID POIICI
OUTLINED BY DEAN
Aim to interest Men in Sport
of Some Kind, Varsity Men
Physically Fit
PROGRAM IS PROGRESSIVE
Extensive Practice Fields And
Gymnasium Space Planned
for Next Year
The direct aim of the school of physi
cal education, says Dr. John Bovard,
dean of the school, is to give every man
an interest in some sort of recreation in
his freshman and sophomore years of
college, which he will carry with him
through life.
Many of the men come to college with
absolutely no ability in the athletic line
at all, and have no interest in sports of
any sort. These are the men that tho
school is especially interested in, for the
main object is to take these men and get
(hem interested in some sort of sport so
that their physical education will not bo
neglected in the training of the mental.
The school of physical education is not
interested in the mou that can mnko the
Varsity teams, for they can take caro of
themselves, and are well developed al
ready' or they would not bo ablo to take
part in the highly competitive collegiate
athletics. Tho freshmen and sophomores
are all given a physical ability test now.
and in order to pass it a man has to be
normally developed physically. The men
that pass the tests are given tho privilege
of choosing their own sport, and in this
manner get into something in which
they have an interest.
Will Aid Under-Developed
Tho men who do not |<nss are under
developed in some manner, and the school
of physical education is for the purpose
of dovelbping these men up to normal,
and then seoiug that they keep up to
this level anil gradually improve their
physique.
I'lvery man should have a sport sched
ule just as much as a schedule of studies,
thinks Dean Bovard, and should follow
out this schedule, strictly, in order to
keep physically fit.
“A man learns many things from tak
ing part in sports,” was tho opinion of
the dean, who went on to enumerate some
of those. Sports develop a man’s char
acter, for tho same qualities are worked
into his sports that ho will use in his
business after graduation, was one opin
ion. Ability in sports gives men confi
dence, on account of the knowledge that
they can do something well. Tho initia
tive of tho men is also developed, as is
also the spirit of give and take which
is especially manifest in boxing, wros
tling, and sports in which man meets
man in individual combat. The groat
idea underlying all this is to build up
men who after graduation will be able
to go out and take their place in the
’boson profession, the dean stated.
“The entire program is progressive,”
<aid Harry Scott, who has active charge
)f all the classes in physical education,
aid pointed out I hat all freshmen are
required to pass certain tests before they
ire admitted to the sophomore classes,
ir allowed to select their own sport. The
lophomores are given a harder test, and
(o on, the idea boing to develop the men
from term to term.
Doughnut Program Is Help
The doughnut program, according to
■Jcott, has helped greatly in getting the
non interested in sports and keeping
hem out. The swimming tests are com
misery for everyone, for the reason that
lie department* feels that it is a noces
iary accomplishment, and intends that
ivory man finishing a year *ln the school
will know how to swim.
The men at Oregon take a great
leal more interest in the class work and
(ports than in any of the other schools
which he has observed, Scott said, and
was enthusiastic over the progress which
iome of the men have made during the
•resent year.
In line with the development of the
ithletic situation are the plans which are
aeing worked out for more extensive
practice fields and gymnasium space. In
tho budget for the coming year Dean
Bovard will include a sum for draining
the area just below Hayward field,
which is at present a swamp, so that in
:ho future the football and baseball teams
jf the University will have adequate
practice space. The grounds have been
k> limited in past years that the varsity
imi freshmen baseball squads either had
to use the same field, or the frosh had to
practice on the side hill which is used as
the R. O. T. C. drill grounds.
The gymnasium facilities, which at
present are very small, may be improved
with the building of more outdoor run
ning sheds, tennis courts and handball
