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.

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

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.

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.

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.)

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—
