Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1922 NUMBER 119 IN STUDENT RACES FOR A. S. 0.0. JOBS Velma Farnham Out for Head of Oregana Staff; Has Many Activities INEZ KING FOR COUNCIL Candidates Slow in Telling Intentions; Many “Dark Horses” Mentioned Either a wealth of dark horses or a dearth in the eligibility list is the situ ation in the political campaign for the office of president of the A. S. U. O., as far as announcements for the can didacy are concerned. Yesterday saw no new developments, although rumors were again rife ■which all lacked of ficial confirmation when the individual named in the report was approached. Leith Abbott, president of the senior class, who has been consistently named as a probable candidate for the execu tive position, said yesterday that he had not definitely decided just what hiB course might be. Velma Farnham Runs So much for the A. S. TJ. O. presi dency. But the activities in the school of journalism took on new life again with the close of the day and Velma Farnham entered the race for editor of the Oregana, student year book. This now assures competition for the edi torial position of the annual, for Doris Sikes had previously announced her in tentions of running. Miss Farnham is a major in the school of journalism and has been closely connected with the work on both the Oregana and the Emerald dur ing her college career. She is a mem ber of Kwama and Tre Nu and of the University Orchestra. Inez King Candidate Another important announcement of yesterday was the decision of Inez King, present editor od the Oregana, to declare herself a candidate for the po sition of senior woman representative on the executive council. This is one of the most important positions open to women and at present is held by Wanna McKinney, who was likewise editor of the Oregana last year. Miss King in addition to her editorial position on the year book, was a mem ber of the Emerald staff for her two previous years in college and has been active in student activities. She is a member of Theta Sigma Phi, women’s honorary journalism fraternity. The position of secretary of the A. S. U. O. has been the cause of much speculation among the co-eds, but as yet no aspiring candidates have entered the race. Two senior women and one junior woman are also to be elected to the Student Council. No candidates have aspired to these positions as yet. Candidates Are Slow Three senior men, two junior men and one sophomore man are also to be elected members of the Student Council and one man from the sophomore class this year is to be elected for a two-year term on the Executive Council. Can didates for yell king are likewise slow in coming to the front. Nominations are one week from today. EVENING ART CLASSES BIG Courses Given, by Schroff and Fair banks Twice a Week Popular An investigation into the brightly lighted studios of the art and sculpture studios on Tuesday and Thursday even ings reveals the fact that classes are held there on these evenings for the benefit of the artistic and the ambi tious, and a glance shows that their popularity is unquestionable. Professor A. H. Schroff, of the fine arts depart ment, and Avard Fairbanks, professor of sculpture, hold classes from 7 to 10 on two evenings each week and the enrollment in both of these speaks for their popularity. For students whose afternoons are filled with other labora tory work these are welcome oppor tunities for work in art courses which thev could not take otherwise, and ac cording to Mr. Fairbanks, these classes are very advantageous to the students for this reason. The indication is that evening classes will become more popu lar as the enrollment of the University increases and there are fewer hours available during the day. ENGINEER ENABLE TO VISIT Due to illness, E. T. Mische, city park •engineer of Portland, was unable. to appear and address the pre-engineering students this morning. It is planned to have him deliver the leeture a week from Thursday if he is able to do so. HIKERS TOLD TO BEWARE ATTRACTIVE POISON OAK Bright Bed Leaves Invite; Contact Is Not Necessary for Infection; Precautions Urged Spring and poison oak have arrived simultaneously. Every year a number of students find themselves broken out with a red rash and are able to blame poison oak for it. Precaution should be taken when on picnics or in the woods not to come in contact with, or even in the close vicinity, of this shrub. Poison oak, contrary to the general belief, can be caught by just passing near the shrub, and actual con tact with the plant is not necessary for infection. Dr. William Kuykendall, of the Uni versity health service, suggests that students should take precautions to avoid this trouble. The first thing to do is to learn to recognize the plant, which is easily done because of its bright read leaves. Cold cream rubbed on the hands and face before going to places where poison oak may be, pre vents the poison from entering the pores of the skin. The best preventative is to wash all exposed parts thoroughly with soap and water upon returning from picnics or hikes. Infirmary treatment is advised rather than home efforts because of its efficacy, and a speedier cure is ef fected." SHAW PLAY TAKES WELL CLEVEK STAGE SETTINGS MAKE PLEASING EFFECT Miss Banfield, Darrell Larsen and Whole Cast Bring Out Humor of Production The simple but clever stage settings and the Egyptian costumes combined with the soft lighting effects helped to make “Caesar and Cleopatra,” which was produced in Guild theater last night, the most interesting play of the dramatic season. The play, written by George Bernard Shaw, is filled with clever subtleties. It will be repeated tomorrow and Saturday nights, skipping Friday night because of the orchestra concert. Miss Charlotte Banfield played Cleo patra with her usual talent, although this was quite a different role from anything she has been seen in for some time. Darrell Larsen as Caesar did the best work he has ever done on the Guild theater stage. Margaret Nelson, who played Fatateeta, the severe old woman who had charge of the house hold of the queen, and who would even commit murder for her mistress, played her difficult role with unusual talent. She was a mannish type who had the strength of several men and she could easily overcome Caesar’s guards. Shaw’s Treatment New Claire Keeney played the part of Pothinus with the same spirit he has put into all of his roles this season. The story of the play is known to all persons, and yet Shaw has treated the subject in an entirely different man ner from the conventional idea of Cleo patra and Caesar. Cleopatra at the time of Caesar’s arrival in Egypt was only a child with a terrible fear that the Romans would eat her. With Cae sar’s threat that he would eat her if she did not act like a real queen, she grew up into a shrewd woman who would have killed all of her enemies, only she did not want Caesar to know how cruel she was. Caesar, as pictured by Shaw, is a mild old man who gains much of his victories through clemency as well as cleverness. The play ends with Caesar departing for Rome with a promise to send Mark Antony to Cleopatra. She has seen Antony when she was 12 years old and has loved him ever since. The play as a whole is a burlesque on the usual idea of Caesar and Cleopatra. owners in uasv The other members of the cast, all of whom played their parts well, were: Lucius Septimus, Fred Young; Achillas and Major Domo, Delbert Faust; Ptol emy, Betti Kessi; Charmain, Mabel Gil ham; Iras, Lorna Coolidge; Ruffio, Ed win Keeeh; Theodotus, John Ellestad; Britannus, Vern Fudge; Bel Afris and the boatman, Arthur Johnson; the cen turion and the Persian, Wade Kerr; Belzanor and the musician, Charles Fish: the Nubian and the Roman, Virgil Mnlkev; Appolodorus, Joe Clarke. WYATT DIRECTS PLANS The work of getting materials to gether for the bleachers and laying other plans has been carried on by Tom Wyatt, president of the junior class, and Harold Simpson, chairman of the canoe fete. Charles Lamb, general chairman of committees, has been di recting the work gangs on Saturday. A great deal of assistance has been given by the TTniversitv under Mr. Hanna’s direction. IDAHO DEFEATS OREGON Idaho allowed Oregon four scattered hits and played errorless ball, defeating Oregon by a score of 7 to 1 yesterday at Moscow. R. H. E. Idaho - 7 « 0 Oregon --14 6 STUDENT COUNCIL VOLES IN FAVOR OF | Eben Decries Attempt to Do Away with Traditions; Sentiment Approved EXPENSE CITED BY JUNIORS Vote Is Six to One to Rescind Order to Eliminate Big Annual Spread By a vote of six to one, the Student Council at its regular meeting yester day afternoon, requested the junior class to preserve the tradition of the campus luncheon, to be provided for at least for the present by assessing the campus living organizations, as has been done in past years. The motion was made by Floyd Max : well and strongly supported by Maurice i Eben, senior representative on the council, who declared that the tendency : to discard traditions is met with in every school as it passes the 2000 mark in enrollment. Eben pointed out that he was not making the assertion on his own authority but as a result of talks with graduates from other schools. “I have talked with graduates of other universities who are on the campus,” he said, “and they have told me that their university went through much the same experience a few years ago, and that they discarded many of their old traditions, with the result that their institution has a reputation today of being very undemocratic. I believe that no school can remain democratic when it does away with its traditions.” Eben declared that he was in favor of the idea of a tradition committee, representative of the student body, the faculty and alumni, and^liat no action abolishing any traditions should be taken until such a committee has been organized to supervise such work. Various members of the council ex pressed their approval of Eben’s senti ments. The attitude of the junior class com mittee was presented by three of the members, who addressed the council. Charles Lamb, head of the committee, stated that the committee was willing to do whatever the council thought best. Thomas Wyatt, president of the junior class, and Harold Simpson, treasurer, also spoke on behalf of the committee. Wyatt declared that the student sup port was not favorable to the plan of including the luncheon. Simpson de clared that the expense was too great for the junior class to bear. Ella Raw lings, president of the Woman’s league, pointed to the fact that the chief dif ficulty was the obtaining of student support, especially in the work of cleaning up after the luncheon was over. “Y” TREASURY ENRICHED BY FORGOTTEN ACCOUNT $10.41 Idle for Seven Years in Eugene Bank Would have Reverted to State July 1 After lying idle seven years in the United States National bank, a for gotten account of $10.41 has been given by Vice-president F. N. McAl ister to Mrs. Charlotte Donnelly, hut mother of the campus Y. M. C. A. The account was in the name of the Y. M. C. A. book exchange, and dates back to the dark ages before the Co-op was established, and the Y. M. head quarters were in the basement of Deady hall. Since there had been no deposits or withdrawals on the account for seven years, according to law the money would have reverted to the state the first of July. The money will be added to the loan fund which was started at Christmas time with a gift of $6, according to Mtb. Donnelly. Two gifts of $25 and $10 increased the fund soon after, and this amount brought the sum almost to the $50 intended by Mrs. Donnelly for emergency occasions. The total was sent over the $50 Tuesday evening by a gift of $5 made by C. A. Hoyt, a mem ber of the advisory board. “The money is surely welcome,” said Mrs. Donnelly. “The original $6 paid four boys’ lab fees in succession. The need for such small loans is often enough to keep some boys out of col lege.” Last spring a $40 sum was re turned from the First National bank. A seven-year-old account of 20 cents was closed out for the University Or chestra also. • —:- - GILBERT TO SPEAK AT GOSHEN Drs J. H. Gilbert, head of the depart ment of economics, will speak at a meet ing of the Grange at Goshen Saturday afternoon at 2:30 on “Taxation.” DR. RICHARD SCHOIZ 10 DISCUSS VISION ANDREVJSIONTODAT President of Reed College Will Address Students at Assembly SPEAKER NOTED HISTORIAN University Orchestra Will Be on Program for First Time This Year When Dr. Richard F. Seholz, presi dent of Reed college, speaks at the assembly today, students will have the opportunity of hearing one of the fore most historians of this country. Dr. Seholz, during his years of study at Oxford and travel through Europe which he was awarded as a winner of the Rhodes Scholarship, acquired a tre mendous store of information and learn ing, which should make his address, on “Vision and Revision,” very interest ing. His manner of speaking has received much favorable comment. Though he talks very rapidly, his speech is yet so clear and concise that, though, as Dean Allen of the School of Journalism says, “he talks very much in an hour, ho says as much in that one hour as any other man can say in three hours.” As a former schoolmate of Dr. Seholz, hav ing been in the same class in high school, and later in the University of Wisconsin, Dean Allen is very well ac quainted with him. “There is always something worth listening to,” said Dean Allen in commenting upon Dr. Seholz ’ style of address. After being graduated from the Uni versity of Wisconsin, Dr. Seholz was awarded the Rhodes Scholarship, being one of the first students from this country to attain that honor. He en tered Oxford university in 1002, and remained there three years, during which period he found time for exten sive travel through England and the Continent, later finding the experiences and impressions gained during his so journ in Europe of great value in his study of history. Upon returning to this country, Dr. Seholz accepted the position of instructor in history at the University of Wisconsin. He was later a member of the faculty of the Uni versity of California and of the Uni versity of Washington. A year ago he was selected to occupy the chair of president of Reed college, at Portland, to succeed Dr. William T. Foster. It is significant of the ability of Dr. Seholz that he should be chosen as president of Reed college, which holds an exceptionally high rating among the independent colleges of the country. He is also a member of Phi Beta Kappa, the national honorary scholastic fra ternity. “He has a very charming, unaffected personality, sincere, straightforward, and frank,” said Dean Allen. An innovation in musical entertain ment will be introduced at the assembly tomorrow, when the University orches tra will appear for the first time in an assembly this year. HOME ECON. GIRLS MEET Special Class in Millinery Starts Satur day as Part of Work At a recent meeting of the Home Eco nomics club, it was voted to send a note of appreciation to Miss Sarah Ravenhili, a pioneer in the field of home economics, who is suffering from a severe illness in Victoria, B. C. The motion was inspired by an address by Miss Lillian Tingle concerning the achievements of Miss Ravenhili in this field. Following a business meeting, mem bers of the club and faculty members of the household arts department were guests at a luncheon served by Lottie Bensliader and Florence Morrison, stu dents in the advanced cooking class. According to the president, Marie Meyers, it is hoped that eventually the membership of the club will embrace all the students in the household arts department. There will be a special meeting of the club Saturday morning for the first i of a series of lessons in millinery, to be | open to members of the club. i INDUSTRIAL FILMS RECEIVED Two new films, “Raw Sugar Produc tion in Cuba” and “The Story of Dom ino Syrup,” have been received from eastern distributors and will be added j to the supply of films and slides used by i the department of visual instruction of the extension division. LEMON PUNCH TO ISSUE TWICE MORE THIS TERM Pveppers’ Number to Be Issued Junior Week-end; Stag Edition Before End of Term All material for the last Lemon Punch to be issued this term must be in by May 0. Two numbers will be issued this term, one at Junior Week end, the other just before commence ment. The first one has already been made up. The last issue will be a stag number, and an effort will be made to avoid alt mention of women. This number, as well as the preppers ’ number to come out Junior Week-end, will have an en tirely different form from all previous issues, the type, arrangement of the art work, and number of columns being changed. The new staff, under the leadership of “Doc” Braddock, will have charge of both of these issues. The “Preppers” number will be the largest issue Lemon Punch has over had. Contributions, both in art work and jokes, are increasing, and there is a good deal of competition in getting material into the magazine. R.O.T.C. INSPECTION FRIDAY COLONEL FALL, COMMANDER OF DISTRICT, HEADS PARTY War Department Board Is on Tour of Reserve Training Camps of Ninth Corps Area Colonel M. N. Falls, head of the Re serve Officers’ Training CorpH of the Pth Corps area, will bo on the Univer sity campus tomorrow and will inspect the Oregon R. O. T. C. unit at. 11 o’clock in the morning, according to a letter received yesterday by Major R. C. Baird, head of the University military department. Colonel Falls will bo ac companied by a war department board nr.d Majors Danielson and Budd are expected to be in the party. Colonel Falls, whose headquarters are at. the Presidio, San Francisco, is now on a tour of inspection of the college R. O. T. C. units of the Pth Corps area. Wednesday and Thursday of this wook he is to inspect the military organiza tion at the Oregon Agricultural college. Colonel Falls said in his letter to Major Baird, “I should like to bring the Board to Eugene to inspect your unit April 28th. I am anxious to have them see just what a fine unit you have.” The R. O. T. C. unit went through practice reviews and inspection yoster day at regular drill period. Major Baird said, “I feel sure our studonts will live up to past records and at in spection will make the same impres sions as at other times.” Colonel Falls and those accompanying him will probably leave Eugene Friday afternoon.

PHI SIGMA PI HAS BLAZE A garden hose in the hands of John Anderson, Dwight Oregg and Henry Karpenstein waH used to extinguish a blaze on the roof of tho Phi Sigma Pi house at fiUP Eighth avenue east, shortly after 7 o’clock yesterday evening. A passer-by noticed the smoke on the roof and notified the department, which ar rived after the boys had put out tho conflagration. No dnmnge was dono. The fire attracted a considerable crowd of students and townspeople from tho neighborhood. WEATHER FORECAST THURSDAY—Fair; moderate westerly winds. I I AT SEATTLE RELAY Sundeleaf, Risley, Wyatt and Rosebraugh Will Run for Lemon-Yellow MILE ONLY EVENT ENTERED Three More Meets Scheduled for Varsity Tracksters This Season Only four men will represent Oregon this year at the annual Pacific Coast Relay Carnival to be staged at Seattle Saturday, April 29. Track Captain Glen Walkley will officiate as manager on the trip, but this veteran miler will probably not take part in the meet. The team loaves via Southern Pacific this afternoon at 4 o ’clock. The men picked by Coach Bill Hay ward to defend Lemon Yellow are all 440-yard sprinters, foming the mile re lay team. They are Dick Sundeleaf, Victor Risley, Tommy Wyatt, and Arthur Rosebraugh. Probably no other team could bo picked from the ranks of the varsity tracksters possessing the qualifications of this one. All provod their mettle in the all state relay against the Aggios, and are in fine fion dition, due to their constant adherence to training rules throughout the season. There will bo no weak link in the chain, as is tho case in several of the other relay aggregations. List of Entries Not Known No list of schools entering the car nival has reached hero as yet, but it is believed that O. A. <3., Washington State, Idaho, Montana, Whitman, and Pacific university will all be ropre sonted, and possibly more. Invitations were sent out to 18 colleges from Wash ington, and it is believed that an un usually largo gathering will be there this year. The moet Saturday will be easily tho biggest so far this year, and many top notchers will be present. Pratt, Wash ington quarter miler, is one of the best in the game. Also, Douglas is a for midable opponent in either tho quarter or the half mile. Hurley and Franklin are their mainstays in the special events. The Aggies will also have to bo reckoned with as evinced by their record here in the last meet. Their special eventors are among the best, and the four-mile relay aggregation, composed of Swan, Dodge, Walker and Graves, is one of the best if not the best on the coast. Three More Meets Scheduled The only other big meet that Oregon will take part in this year is the Northwest-Pacific Conference meet, also to bo staged at Seattle, May 26 and 27. Two other meets, the first with tho Aggios at Corvallis on May 13, and the second with Washington at Eugene on May 20, conclude the year’s schedule. Coaches Hayward and Foster are work ing hard to make a creditable showing against these other schools, and they are succeeding rather well considering the not overly bright prospects at the beginning of training. Results of warm weather are evident in both varsity and freshman aspirants, brightening measurably Oregon’s hopes for the coming year. Oregon Geologist Describes Work in Wilds of Philippines (Editor’s Note.—Dr. Warren D. Smith, who wrote the following letter, is head of the department of geology in the Uni versity of Oregon. He was granted a leave of absence in June, 1920, since which time he has been in the Philip pines as head of the bureau of mines for the government. Dr. Smith knows the Philippines, probably as well as any other American, .having spent ‘several years there in geological work prior to coming to the university in 1913.) Pines Hotel—Baguio, Mtn. Province P. I., March 29th, 1922. The Editor, The Emerald, Eugene, Oregon. Sir: 1 ‘ I am glad to say that I have received the very welcome papers regularly and have consequently been kept posted pret ty well as to the news and thoughts of the University community. “The discussion re the B. O. T. C. has of course interested me very much and I must agree in part with both sides of the controversy. I can well realize and appreciate the point of view of most !of the young men who have taken excep ! tion to this institution and do not blame them for being “fed up” with Buch an an achronism as war. I am always filled with profound “disgusto" that man the “heir of all the Ages,’’ etc., has still to resort to so ehildidsh and unscientific a method of settling his disputes. Still we are faced with facts and hard-boiled people and not with dreams and fairies. To enable us to face such a world an in stitution like the R. O. T. C. will do much for us. The most desirable thing in the world today and the most difficult to obtain is team work—most of the diffi culties faced by men are due to their inability or unwillingness to “play the game"—of course football and other sports train us in this respect, but so also does the B. O. T. C. and then, too, it is good for men sometimes to buckle down to unpleasant taskB and not al ways be looking for something easy. “It might be interesting to some of the students of Oregon who are giving serious thought tp their future work in the world to know what are the out standing characteristics of the men in this part of the world who have been the most successful-say, of men like Gen eral Wood—men whose suceeas does not consist of that very cheap commodity— (Continued on page four)
