"Wash (Continued on page four) U. OF W. PLANS CONTESTS WITH U. B. C. NEXT YEAR Increasing Athletic Activities May Re sult in Admission to Coast or Northwest Conference University of Washington, Seattle, April 11—(P. I. N. 8. Special)—In creasing athletic activities of the Uni versity of British Columbia may result in its admission to either the North west or Pacific Coast conference, ac cording to Darwin Meisnest, graduate i manager of the University of Wash ington, who has just returned from j Vancouver where he attended a Rotary 1 club conference. It is planned to arrange hockey, track, baseball, basketball and rowing contests with the University of British Columbia next year, Meisnest said. The Canadians are keenly interested in all forms of athletics and Vancouver : is a great city for sports, he reported. The University of British Columbia relay team will compete in the Wash ington relay carnival in the Stadium, April 29. PEPPERS TO BE THRILLED OREGON STUDENTS WILL FROLIC WITH VISITORS FRIDAY NIGHT Affair Being Staged by Student Body; Will Include Music by Orchestra and Glee Clubs Visiting “preppers” will receive one of the thrills of their young lives when they have nearly 2000 Oregon students frolicking with them Friday night in the first big college night in the his tory of the University. 'The affair will start at 8 o’clock with the high school visitors as guests. The University symphony orchestra will play its liveliest tunes, the men’s glee club will send deep-throated har mony to the farthest corner of the Woman’s building, and the women’s glee club will thrill their hearers with the sweetest music they are able to produce. Then there will be campus movies, stunts, solos, men’s quartets, mixed quartets, and jazz. And all for “two bits.” Those in charge of the program want everyone to have the best time possible. It will be a real chance to show Oregon high school students real Oregon spirit, besides having a big program for a small admission price, according to President Bartholomew. The affair is being staged by the student body, working in connection with the glee club and orchestra officials. It will be the only event on the boards for that night. The scores of 25-cent pieces which will accrue to the student body as a re sult of the evening’s entertainment are expected to pay for bringing the speak ers to the high school conference. The big idea of the “college night” how ever is to provide a good time for stu dents and visitors and to bring a greater appreciation of the campus musical organizations among the stu dents, according to those in charge. The low price of the event is offered to allow every student to attend in order that the affair will be a gigantic get-together. Over 2,000 are expected to attend. STUDENT RATE EXTENDED Season Ticket Price to Business Men of Eugene Reduced Today Believing that the Eugene business men will support the University ath letic teams and attend the games and meets in person if they have a chance to do so economically, the Oregon Knights, under the leadership of Johnny Palmer and Jack Myers, are launching this morning the campaign to sell a season athletic ticket for all varsity and intramural contests to every citizen of the city. The tickets will sell for $3.00 and will entitle the holder to admission to all athletic contests staged on the Uni versity’s athletic fields this spring,— 10 baseball games, seven traek meets, swimming meets and intramural sports. In addition to the personally solicited sales by the Oregon Knights, the tiekets will be available at Obak's, Hauser Brothers, the Co-Op, and they may be seenred through the graduate manager, Jack Benefiel. DEAN LAWRENCE TO SPEAK House Planning, Subject Before Homs Decoration Class Today Ellis F. Lawrence, dean of the school of architecture and allied arts of the University, will address the members of the class in home decoration on house planning this afternoon at 3 o’clock in the lecture room of the architecture building. All members of the faculty, towns people and students are invited to at tend the discussion of the problems which confront anyone who attempts to build a house, and if possible the talk will be accompanied by slides. PERSONAL LIFE OF EMERSON TOPIC IN COMING ASSEMBLY Speaker Is Sole Survivor of Concord Group of Authors and Literary Men C. J. WOODBURY ON TOUR First Lecture at 1:15 Today in Villard Auditorium; Reception Tonight As the sole surviving associate of that famous Concord group of American literary men of -which Ralph Waldo Emerson was the leader, Dr. Charles J. Woodbury, who is on a tour deliver ing lectures on Emerson and his friends, will address the assembly tomorrow. His first lecture will be at 1:15 this afternoon in Villard hall. This will be followed by a reception in his honor in the alumni room of the Woman’s build ing at 8:30 tonight. In his talk tomorrow Mr. Woodbury will tell of his personal contact with that great school of writers and at tempt to give an insight into the per sonal life of Emerson as well as to re late the way in which several of the famous essays of that American scholar were constructed and prepared for pub lication. Spoke Here Eight Years Ago Mr. Woodbury -will be remembered by some of the older members of the faculty as having delivered lectures here eight years ago. Those who heard him at that time recollect with en thusiasm the talk he made. He is said to have a highly entertain ing manner and a great sense of humor. In speaking of his former appearance here Dean Dyinent said: “In 1914 Mr. Woodbury gave as quaint and delight ful an address as has been heard in the intervening period since.” He reminisces on the wonderful old days of the Concord group. He was a young man then when Emerson and Thoreau were in their prime. He lived with them and sat at their feet, and is known to reproduce them as they can not be in books. Mr. Woodbury himself says: “My desire is to make Emerson the nourish ing power to our undergraduates that he was to me when I was even as they are. This can only be done by pietur 1 ing him to them as he was to me. I purpose that at the conclusion of the lectures, hearers should so visualize Emerson and his friends that they can not be forgotten.” Discussion to Be Different He says further: “I do not offer dis cussions of his literature as others do. I simply try to give a plain and perma nent picture of the man from my close association with him. There is no one else left from our old group who ean do this.” In a letter to President Campbell Mr. Woodbury says: “Since we met eight years ago, the last public speaking sur vivor of our historic Concord group has passed away, and I am the only one left to tell of the immortals.” Mr. Woodbury is making one of his semi-annual lecture tours. He will stop in Eugene en route to colleges in Wash ington and the East. He will arrive on the campus today. His first lecture will be at 1:15 today before an Ameri can literature group in the large lec ture room of Villard hall. This will be open to the public. A reception will be held in his honor in the alumni room of the Woman’s building at 8:30 to night. All students and faculty inter ested are invited. JOBS SCARCE DUE TO RAIN Good Weather ExpteM to Help Situa tion, Mr*. Donnelly Bars The student employment situation is ▼ery bud at the present time on ac count of the rainy weather, according to Mrs. Donnelly, employment secre tary of the campus Y. M. C. A. There are a great many days when no jobs at all are telephoned in, although the demand is as great as ever. With the coming of spring, however, and the ac- ' companving gardens to spade, lawns to j mow, and the like, an increase in em ployment is expected. MISS TINGLE ASKED TO PARIS Miss Lilian Tingle, head of the house hold arts department, has been asked by the National Home Economics asso ciation to be their national delegate to the international meeting to be held in Paris on April 18. Because of her duties on the campus, MiBs Tingle de clined the honor of being national dele gate to the meeting. REGISTRATION OF JUNIOR WEEK-END One Ticket for All Events Ex pected to Do Away With Past Confusion PUBLICITY WORK ACTIVE Mill Race Bleachers Will Be Started This Saturday; Juniors to Toil A new feature of Junior Week-end this year will be the plan for registra tion of preppers. They will be regis tered at some central place, and at that time a special ticket will be issued which admits to all athletic contests, campus events, the prom, and any other entertainments connected with the Junior Week-end festivities. Through this plan the University will be able to keep track of guests, and will know exactly what high school students are here. This will avoid the old difficulties encountered when tick ets were passed out indiscriminately for each event. When the guests register, they will indicate what high school they are from, together with other data. General Committee Meeting Starting tonight a general meeting of all committees will be held every Wednesday evening at 7:15 in the base ment of the Administration building. The various committees to handle the annual campus event are now well or ganized and constructive work will go on rapidly until the time of Junior Week-end. Plans are being considered for financing the annual campus day luncheon. It is probable that some changes may be made in the plan of putting on the luncheon, and possibly with regard to campus day itself. Work will start on the permanent millrace bleachers Saturday. The ground will have to be cleared first, and as soon as this is accomplished the foundations of the bleachers will bo laid. The committee in charge of the canoe fete will make an attempt to get as many juniors out Saturday as possible to help in the work. W. K. Newell, superintendent of properties, will provide men to super vise the work of construction. Plans are all prepared for the bleachers, and actual work will be started as soon as the foundations are laid. The juniors are expecting to put on many work parties between now and the time of Junior Week-end. Educational Exhibits Planned A new feature of Junior Week-end this year will be the staging of ex hibits by the various departments in the University. This plan has not been tried on the Oregon campus before but has been found very effective in other universities. The purpose is to inter est the prospective students who are here in the work of the University from an intellectual standpoint, along with the various athletic and social events. Through the exhibit they can be shown at first hand the advantages offered at Oregon in the way of training for any particular branch of work. Publicity Work Progressing The publicity committee has been very active. The chief work now is getting out stories to all the small dailies and high school papers through out the state. The posters are ready for distribution, and will be sent out soon. A campaign of letter writing is also being planned. A heavy attendance of guests is ex peeted this year, despite the fact that an effort has been made to limit the number. Probably not so many will eome as last year, however, and the guests will be more representative of the various parts of the state. MEETING OF GRIDIBON CANDIDATES SCHEDULED FOB MONDAY AFTERNOON All candidates for next year’s football eleven are urgently request ed by Head Coach 8hy Huntington to turn out for spring training, which will commence next Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock. Varsity football men who are not engaged in some other sport are urged to put in an appearance and all men in terested in the sport are invited out. Football togs will be issued all the rest of this week and can be secured between 3 and 4 o’clock in the sup ply room in the men’s gymnasium, by anyone who intends going out. MARKETING ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED AT U. OF C. Aim to Purchase at Wholesale Prices and Improve Service and Quality; Capital Stock Is Provided University of California, Berkeley, April 11—(P. I. X. S. Special)—Start ing with a capital stock providing a sinking fund for a grocery store, meat market and laundry, the fraternities, sororities and clubs have recently or ganized a California Inter-Fraternity Marketing association. This has been done in order that they may have a voice in the control of prices, and the service and quality of goods furnished them by the merchants. Arrangements t,. purchase goods at wholesale prices are being made by the members. An advisory board, ineluding two faculty members, to instruct new house managers, will act ns a grievance com mittee to deal with unsatisfactory mer chants. An inter-house bi-weekly paper is being considered to help the house managers, and to interest tho members in general fraternity news. Money deposited as capital by each house is placed in trust with the Berke ley Bank of Savings and Trust company and cannot be drawn by the directors vithout the consent of the association. SHI PLAY TO BE GIVEN “CAESAR AND CLEOPATRA” NEXT COMPANY PRODUCTION Dates Set for April 26, 27, and 28; Darrell Larsen and Miss Banfleld to Play Leading Roles Shaw’s clever comedy, “Caesar and Cleopatra” will bo the first regular company production of the spring term. The dates for the play have been set for April 26, 27, and 29. This will be the second Shaw play produced this year, ns “Pygmalion” was produced in the Eugene theater last fall, and no other play has been quito so popular on the campus as this. In “Caesar and Cleopatra” Shaw's clever personality is combined with the Egyptian atmo sphere which will make the play one of the most interesting and different productions of the year. Darrell Larsen and Miss Charlotte Banfield will play the leading roles in the play. The settings and the cos tumes are being worked out very care fully and it is expected that these will help make the production a grent suc cess. The plot of the play is known to al most everyone who is interested in Shaw’s works, as it is one of his best known comedies. He treats his char acters in an entirely different manner from what one might expct and he takes every opportunity to bring out the subtle humor of the situations. Cleopatra is treated as a small child who suddonly grows up through the in fluence of Caesar and becomes a real aueen, quite to the disappointment of Fatatateeta, who has governed her and practically ruled Egypt for some time. The coming of Caesar also interrupts the plans of Pothinus who had governed Ptolomey, the younger brother of Cleo patra, who ruled part of Egypt. Pothi nus will be played by Claire Keeney, and Fatatateeta will bo played by Mar garet Nelson. The other members of the east are: Lucius Septimus, Fred Young; Ptolemy, Betti Kessi; Char mian, Mabel Gilham; Iras, Lorna Cool idge; Ruffio, Edwin Keech; Thoodo tus, John Ellestad; Britannus, Vern Fudgo; Delbert Faust will play the parts of Achillis and Major-Domo; Arthur Johnson will play both Bel Afris and the boatman; Wade Kerr, both the Centurian and the Persian; Charles Fish, Belzanor and the Musi cian; and Virgil Mulkey will play both the Nubian and th« Roman. WBATHXX rOBBCABT Wednesday—Rain or snow; moderate southwestern winds. BAIL TEAM MS HARO WITH WILLOW DESPITE SHOWERS Batting Park in Old Kincaid Grandstand Utilized by Horsehide Maulers KEEN COMPETITION SHOWN First Game of Series to Be Played Friday at 4:30 on Cemetery Ridge While the heavy rain* of the past ft w days have preventoi! actual work out s and scrimmage on Cemetery ridge, the l asoball M|Uad has btt n going through the heaviest k.nd of batting or.,i lice. When the showers drive tho horsehide maulers from the cages on the ridge, they improve their time by tit-bring the enclosed batting park in the dd grandstand on Kincaid. The hurling staff is beginning to round into form nicely in spite of the inclemency of the weather, as the heav ers are bearing down on thorn in the outdoor gym. There should be some keen competition to pitch the opener next Friday between Baldwin, Ringle, and Wright, who seem to be in better condition to bear down on them than the other candidates. Gray and Latham Working Roll Gray, who worked more or less regularly with the varsity nine last year, should show an improvement over his 1921 form and will likely get a chance to mow down the Badger bats men in one game of the series the last of the week. Marc Latham, used last year as relief pitcher, has decided to cast his lot with the horsehide artists and is working for a placo on the hurl ing staff. Ilowitt and Leonard, two big right handers, are warming up regularly and may get a chance to show their wares this week-end. Whether or not Bohler decides to work Spike Leslie at first base, the re ceiving end of the game should be well taken care of with Ward Johnson and Johnny Watson working in nice form. Also Floyd Shields, football star and substitute catcher on last year’s nine, is registered in school again after a term’s absence, but as yet he has not decided to turn out for baseball. First Game Friday Weather permitting, the first game of the series with the Pacific Univer sity Badgers will be played Friday af ternoon at 4:30 on Cemetery ridge. The time is set late so as to interfere as little as possible with the all-state relay which is slated for that after noon. The second game will be called at 10 Saturday morning which will not conflict at all with the relay, as that will be hold Saturday afternoon at 2:30. Of interest to local athletic followers is the fact that two of the men on the Pacific University baseball team, which will play here this week-end, are for mer Oregon men. They are Dwight Blackman, an infielder, who played on the freshman basketball team last year, and Ernest Amburn, a pitcher. Black man is a three-sport man at Pacific and is considered something of a star in each. DR. REBEC AT WHITMAN Dr. George Rebec left today for a trip to Whitman college in the interests of the graduate school, of which he is dean. Dramatic Skit to Tell Girls Of College Needs and Styles "What to wear when 70a Vo college •ome,” or "Practical suggestions re garding the average run of feminine attire on the University of Oregon campus” might well be phrases descrip tive of the Biyle show which is to be staged for the high school girls who will be on the campus for the editors’, presidents’ and secretaries’ conference this week-end. The show will be put on in the Woman’s building Saturday afternoon at 2:30. The styles will be exhibited in the course of a dramatic skit in which a modiste’s shop will furnish the scene.
