UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1922
NUMBER 118
NO CANDIDATES YET
UP FOR PRESIDENT;
RUMOR PREVALENT
English, Oberteuffer, Couch
Deny Intention to Run
for that Office
TWO OUT FOR EDITORSHIP
Youel and Hoyt in Emerald
Race; Dorris Sikes Out
for Oregana Post
Although a certain amount of reluc
tance on the part of all the eligible
'■candidates whose names have been con
hected with the office of the president
of the A. 8. U. O. for the coming year
has been consistently noted when they
•were queried, it is possible that some one
candidate may announce himself soon
'with the attending results that the oth
ers will not be slow in forthcoming after
the initial step has been taken. The
names of Nels English, Del Oberteuf
fer and Ralph Couch have been men
tioned as possible candidats for the
executive position but these three have
denied any intention of entering the
race.
The dearth of candidates likewise ex
tends into the position of vice presi
dent and as yet no one has been defi
nitely assigned to make this race. • But
the editorial position of The Emerald
has not been left without its early as
pirants and the list includes two names
■with the probability that there may be
at least a three cornered race among
the journalists and possibly a' four cor
nered contest.
Journalists Are Candidates
Ep Hoyt and Kenneth Youel have
both declared themselves as aspirants for
the editorial position. Both young men
-will have completed three years of work
in the school of journalism by the end
of the present term and during that
time have been active on The Emearld
staff.
Hoyt is at present sports editor of
The Emerald, and was assistant in the
sports department last year. He worked
on general assignments during his first
year and has taken an active part in the
■sports department of The Oregana. In
addition to his work on The Emerald
he was associate editor of the Lemon
Puneh during the past ye$r and was re
cently elected to the position of exchange
■editor of that publication. Hoyt is »
member of Sigma Delta Chi, national
honorary journalism fraternity and of
Hammer and Coffin, and Chi Psi.
Youel Now News Editor
Kenneth Youel is at present news
editor of The Emerald, and worked up
to that position from night editor in
"which capacity he was a member of the
staff last year. In his freshman year
here, Youel worked on general assign
ments on JThe Emerald. He has like
wise been active in Oregana work and
this year edited the men’s organizations
section of the year book. Youel is a
member of Sigma Delta Chi, national
journalism fraternity and of Kappa The
ta Chi.
For editor of The Oregana, student
yearbook, Dorris Sikes has announced
her candidacy. Miss Sikes has been ac
tive in journalism work and a member
of The Emerald staff for the past two
wears, working as statistician on The
Emerald this year until she began her

PROGRAM HAS CHINESE ACT
MUSIC FOR ORCHESTRA CONCERT
WRITTEN BY UNDERWOOD
Both light and Serious Promised for
Friday Evening; Dance Will Be
Given by Eight Troubadours
Music for the “Chinese Act,” one of
the big features of the program to be
given by the University Symphony Or
chestra at the Armory next Friday
evening at 8:15, was arranged for the
instruments in the group by Rex Under
wood, director of the orchestra. The
arrangement of one of the latest popu
lar airs for the University Troubadours
was also done by Mr. Underwood.
Under his direction the entire concert
program has been developed and he
promises a pleasing evening of musical
entertainment for all^
Mr. Underwood has been connected
with the University of Oregon for three
years, coming here directly from Chi
cago. During that time he has not only
made himself popular as a concert vio
linist but also, under his guidance, the
University Orchestra has grown from a
small independent organization to its
present size of over 30 members and
has been made a permanent student
body organization. To him is due the
credit for making the orchestra what
Portland musicians said during the
spring trip, “is one of the best college
orchestras in the country.”
Mr. Underwood studied abroad for
five years and was later engaged in
concert work in this country.
The musical background for the
“Chinese Act” is based upon Cyril
Scott’s “Song of the East.” The ar
rangement is for five instruments,
Gwendolyn Lampshire and Helen Har
per, violins; Beulah Clark, flute; Helen
i Caples, piano; and Ray Graham, tom
• toms. Edgar Bohlman and Lillian Auld
have been working out the settings for
; this feature. Real Chinese costumes
are to be sent from Portland through
Frank Jue, former member of the or

Volcano Shattered Domain Will
Be Depicted on Screen Tonight
Colored slides and movie films of a
■volcano-shattered valley, a chaotic land
seen by few mortals, will be shown this
evening at eight o’clock in the “Y”
hut when Frank I. Jones, of Portland,
comes to the university to show his pic
tures of “The Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes,’’ taken in the Alaskan penin
sula in 1917 and 1919 under the direction
•of the National Geographic society. Mr.
Jones was official color photographer
for the expedition of scientists sent to
Alaska to investigate the terrific erup
tion of Katmai volcano, that great up
heavel of June, 1912, listed among
the 12 major voleanie outbursts in the
recorded history of man.
Several hundred pounds of pictures
and stereoptie paraphernalia belonging to
Mr. Jones arrived on the campus yester
day and Mr. Jones will came down
from Portland sometime this afternoon.
8pecial lighting arrangement had to ]>e
fixed in the “Y” for the machine used
by the noted photographer, and the Con
don club, under whose direction he is
showing tthe pictures, had to assure him
that the lighting system would be ar
ranged according to Me instruction* be
fore he definitely promised to come to
i Eugene.
Mr. Jones is well versed in geology,
| chemistry, and the natural sciences, and
I members of the geology faculty who have
I heard him speak before and know the
j wonderland of “The Valley of Ten
Thousand Smokes, ’ ’ will arrange to have
; entire classes in geology attend the
1 session of the Condon club to be held in
; the “ Y ” this evening. Hundreds of
people have been attracted by the pic
tures when shown in other cities in the
1 state and the Condon club officers ex
pect many studdnts and Eugene people
to be present this evening.
The pictures used by Mr. Jones were
obtained at a great cost and at a risk
of life. 80 uncertain is the steaming
■bottom of The Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes that it is said that animals dig
ging into the volcanic ash frequently
open craters of fiery gases. The colored
views used by Mr. J ones show scenes
; of striking beauty from snow-capped
peaks touching low-hanging elouds to
gnarled and grotesque masses of hardened
lava.
STUDENT COUNCIL’S
WORD TO BE FINAL
ON CAMPUS LUNCH
Lamb Will Explain Reasons of
Juniors for Giving Up
Plans for Event
MEETING THIS AFTERNOON
Finances Will Be Considered;
University Administration
Refuses to Aid Class
That the campus luncheon, traditional
event of Junior Week-end, which the
Junior class committee decided to
abandon this year, has not arrived at
this unhappy ending yet, is thevnessage
of “Chuck” Lamb, general chairman of
the committee. Final action on the
matter will probably be taken at the
student council meeting this afternoon
at 4 o’clock when Lamb will appear
before the student council on behalf of
the committee and explain the reasons
for the committee’s action in deciding
to give up the feature.
“The committee has no desire to de
liberately eliminate the campus lunch
eon if satisfactory arrangements for
meeting the financial obligations it will
entail may be made, and if the student
opinions favor maintaining it,” said
Lamb yesterday. “We decided to do
away with the luncheon only after we
had followed out the suggestion of the
student council in the first place and
solicited the aid of the University, but
all to no avail.”
Suggestion Is Followed
At the suggestion of the Student
Council, the committee did request aid
from the University, but the adminis
tration refused to contribute. And it
was after this refusal that the com
mittee then decided to eliminate the
luncheon, but according to Lamb, the
action was taken because the commit
tee interpreted the Student Council’s
action as being unfavorable to the
luncheon in case the administration did
refuse financial aid.
Heretofore the campus luncheon has
been provided almost solely by the liv
ing organizations on the campus and
students not living in organizations
have been requested to pay a tax. In
the discussions of Junior Week-end
plans this year by the Student Council,
that body took cognizance of the diffi
culties which had been met in collect
ing this tax and suggested that this
difficulty might be avoided if the Uni
versity administration would provide
funds for financing the traditional af
fair.
New Method Favored
According to members of the Coun
cil, it was definitely decided by the
members that the campus luncheon
should not be eliminated but that this
new scheme of raising the money be
put into operation if possible. Since
the action of the Student Council the
interfraternity council passed the same
resolution requesting University aid in
the matter, but according to the secre
tary of that body, did not go into a
detailed discussion as to whether or not
the luncheon should be held in the event
that the University would refuse to aid.
Lamb said yesterday that under the
present conditions the status of the
luncheon was such that if the affair
j was put on, the expense would have to
be met by the Junior class, which is not
feasible due to the heavy expense of
building the new bleachers. However,
if the Student Council requests that the
luncheon be held and requests the or
ganizations to meet the expense, Lamb
intimated that the committee would at
tempt to devise some system whereby
the expense would be kept to the mini
mum and students not living in organ
izations would be absolutely required to
pay their tax.
Many Opinions Held
Considerable agitation has been rife
on the campus recently since it was
declared that the campus luncheon
; would not be held as a feature of Junior
Week-end. Supporters of the plan to
l hold the luncheon as usual declare that
I its elimination would mean that the
regular campus day would be a failure
\ since none of the students would wish
i to return to their homes for luncheon
1 while they were dressed in their work
I ing togs. It is also said that the ex
I pense to the organizations would not
1 be greater if they sent cooked food to
| the campus rather than serve it in
their houses.
STAFF TO MEET
All members of the news staff of
the Emerald, as well as those who
are trying out, will meet this after
noon at 5 o’clock in the Shack. It
is very important that every mem
ber be present.
FROLIC PRIZE SKIT
“Pierre Patissier,” Kappa’s
Musical Comedy Stunt,
to Be Repeated
VARIED PROGRAM PLANNED
Mystery Act Will Be Feature;
Dancing, Dramatic, Vocal
Talent Are Promised
Replete with all the embellishments
of big-time vaudeville, a«d embracing
the best in dramatic, terpsichorean,
magical and musical talent on the
campus, the Junior Vaudevillo is to be
presented at the Eugene theater May 6.
The prize-winning April frolic produc
tion, “Pierre Patissier,” will be pre
sented by the Kappa Kappa Gamma
stars, with the entire original cast and
costumes. This skit, with Maxine
Buren as Pierre Patissier, the jolly
French baker, was an immense favor
ite at the Frolic, and will no doubt be
even a greater success with an audi
ende composed partly of men.
The famed Bill McBride, with a
picked troupe of Eugene’s best musical
joysters, will render several selections
reputed to inspire all the desire and
ability for the popular “scandal-walk.”
The team of Woods and Valentine will
spread a line of dialogue and patter,
coupled with some nimble dance stops,
that is declared by those who have
seen them in action to be fully equal
to the best. Joe Clark, who made a
name for himself by his recent grace
ful portrayal of “Belinda,” a feminine
role in “The Shady Lady,” will pre
sent a novelty dancing act. Clark, who
has had considerable training in this
art, will be assisted by other skilled
dancers in working out an act that will
be highly appreciated from artistic and
musical standpoints.
Mulkey to Star
A feature of the program will be a
mystery act by Virgil Mulkey, in which
many illusions used by world famous
magical artists will be presented for
the first time on the campus. Mulkey,
who is very well known as “Magical
Mulkey,” has devoted a lifetime to the
study of magic and mystery, and has
an act that is said to be superior to
anything of the kind ever shown in
Eugene. He will feature “The Spirit
Painting,” an illusion that costs hun
dreds of dollars and is the favorite of
many o" the world’s leading magicians.
Claire Keeney, who is a great favor
ite in campus dramatic circles, together
with Irene Stewart and Darrell Larsen,
both talented students of the dramatic
department, will present a one-act skit,
the details of which will be announced
later. The Men’s Glee club quartet
will take an important part in the pro
gram, and will give several harmony
numbers, as well as some character
skits and vocal solos.
Trained Chorus to Appear
As a grand finale, Alice Tompkins
will present an especially trained
chorus, who will entertain with gay
musical numbers, solos, and novelty
skits for the last half hour. This act,
which is to be of highest professional
quality, will combine all the favorite
features of the highest type of musical
productions.
Prices for the entire show are to be
75 cents for reserved seats and 35 cents
for bench room in the gallery.
Verne Pudge is managing the affair,
assisted by Edwin Keech as business
manager.

DR. R. F. SCHOLZ WILL
BE ASSEMBLY SPEAKER
Reed College President, Authority on
History, Probably to Discuss
Political Problems
Dr. Richard F. Seholz, president of
Reed college, of Portland, will be the
speaker at the assembly tomorrow. Al
though his topic has not as yet been
definitely announced, his address will
probably deal with modern political
i problems, as he is one of the foremost
authorities on history in this country,
being especially interested in the po
litical aspect of the subject.
As a speaker he has a wide reputa
tion. He talks rapidly and clearly, and
is always interesting, his store of in
formation and learning gathered in his
extensive travels and his career in
various American universities furnish
ing a basis for his concise, woll-deliv
ered and interesting addresses. “There
is always something worth listening to
in his addresses,” said Dean Erie W.
Allen of the school of journalism, a
former schoolmate of Dr. Seholz. “He
talks a great deal in an hour, but he
says as much in that hour ns most men
can say in three.”
After being graduated from the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, Dr. Seholz was
awarded the Rhodes scholarship, being
one of the first American students to
attain this honor. Ho spent three years
at Oxford, during which time ho made
extensive trips through Europe. Re
turning to this country, he accepted a
position as instructor of history in the
University of Wisconsin. He later was
a member of the faculty of the Uni
versity of California and the University
of Washington. For the last year he
has been president of Reed college, suc
ceeding Dr. William T. Foster.
Tho University Orchestra will fur
nish the music at tho assembly.
EGYPTIAN PLAY NEW HERE

DARRELL LARSEN IN LEADS
Production Promises to Be Interesting,
with Unusual Settings
and Costumes
“Caesar and Cleopatra,” at Guild hall
tonight, Thursday and Saturday nights,
will be tho first. Egyptian play yet put
on by the dramatic company on the
campus. With the clever costumes, the
unique settings, the work of Charlotte
Banfield and Darrell Larsen in the
leading roles, combined with the good
work of tho students in the minor roles,
it is thought by thoso in charge of tho
production that the play will bo one
of the most interesting productions ever
seen on the campus.
Charlotte Banfield was last seen on
tlio campus in “The Merchant of Ven
ice” in whieh she played the role of
Portia. Larsen, too, played in thlit pro
duction as the merchant himself. Mar
garet Nelson will play Fatatateeta, the
important person who ruled Egypt over
Cleopatra until Cleopatra grew into a
strong-minded woman with an earnest
desire to kill almost everyone who did
not conform to her own ideas. She is
particularly eager to cut her little
brother’s head off and he, who is not
only her brother but her husband, bored
with the discussions which mean the
very life of Egypt, falls asleep, for he
is only a small child. Claire Keeney
plays the role of Pothinus, who rules
over the young king. Betti Kessi plays
the part of Ptolemy, the young king.
The entire cast is:
Caesar .Darrell Larsen
Cleopatra .Charlotte Banfield

i Bel Afris and the boatman; Wade Kerr,
the eenturian and the Persian; and
Charles Fish, Bel/.anour and the Musi
cian. Earl Denham will play the part

MEM SWIMMERS TO
COMPETE MAT 13
IM DOOGHNOT MEET
Members of Varsity Team to
Be Barred from Part
in Contests
SEVEN EVENTS SCHEDULED
Entrants Must File Names by
May 12; Each Limited
to Three Races
Tho big splash of the year for the
campus will be the doughnut Bwimming
meet which is to be held on Saturday
night, May 13, in tho big pool in the
Woman’s building. There will also be
a practice night on which all men who
wish to practice for the meet will bo
allowed to use the pool. This will bo
on Wednesday, May 9.
There are seven events in the sched
ule prepared by Swimming Coach
Barnes, and these events will be run
off in tho order given. The 160-yard
relay is the first event of the evening,
nnd each organization will have a four
man team entered, each member of
which will swim 40 yards. The relay
in this moet is to be held first, contrary
to the practice in track, in which it is
the final event. Tho second event is
the fancy diving. There will be three
required dives for all the entrants, and
throe optionals. Tho three required
dives are tho straight front and back
dives for form, and tho front jack
knife. Tho entrants may pick any
other throe dives that they wish.
Must Take Heart Test
The third event is the 40-yard dash.
This race is to be swum in beats, being
tho only ono which will bo conducted
on a time basis, for all tho others will
be straight competition, with the en
trants all in the tank at once. The
fourth event is tho 100-yard breast
stroke. Tho fifth is the 220-yard free
style, the sixth event is the 60-yard
back stroke, and the final event of
tho evening will be the 100-yard dash,
free stylo.
No man is to bo allowed to enter
more than throe of the seven events,
so the organizations should arrange
their swimmers among the events ac
cordingly. All entrants in the 100 and
220-yard free style dashes, or the 100
yard breast stroke races, will have to
have a heart examination between now
and tho time for the meet, and will
have to pin the heart examination slip
to tho entrance blank which will be
sent out on May 6.
Registration Necessary for Entrants
The entrance blanks which are to
J)e sent to all the organizations must
bo filled out and returned to the office
of tho school of physical education by
C o’clock of Friday evening, the day
before the meet, in order that tho en
trants may be tabulated and the sched
ule fixed up. Absolutely no one will
be allowed to come in after that time.
Each organization will be allowed to
enter two men in each event but no
more, and since a man is allowed to
enter only three of the seven events,
some of tho houses will have to do
quite a bit of planning to get a man
in each race. Track men will have to
get tho consent of Bill Hayward or
they will not be allowed to participate.
Tho scoring of the relay will bo 8
I points for first place, 0 for second, 4
for third, and 2 points for fourth and
last place. All of tho other events will
be scored on the basis of five points
for first, three for second, two for
third, ami one for last place. Thus the
winning of the relay will give an or
ganization quito a lead in the meet.
Varsity Men Ruled Out
Several of the best swimmers in
school have been eliminated from tho
contest on account of having repre
sented the University in outside swim
ming meets. The men coming under
this rule are Lyle Palmer, Arthur
Erickson and George Neal. These men
are without a doubt in a class by them
selves when it comes to water sports,
and their elimination leaves practically
all of the events much in doubt.
There is still time for swimmers to
get in condition for the meet, and Coach
Barnes says that coaching in any or
all of the events can be had at the pool
in the men’s gym on any day between
the heurs of 11 and 12 in the morning
and from 2 to 5:30 o’clock in the after
noon.
Consistent Training Urged
Uoach Barnes urges all men who
have any idea of entering the meet to
come out consistently between now and
May 13 in order that they may become
somewhat accustomed to the water and
not act like novices in the meet
