Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. WEDNESDAY. MAY 3. 1922 NUMBER 123 STUDENT COUNCIL APPROVES IOOEE PROPOSED CHANGES Clean Politics Advocated; Vice President to Preside Over Committees DAILY STAFF MAY PROFIT Change in Pay Schedule Asked; ' Music Amendment to Be Redrafted The recommendation of three pro posed amendments, the return of a fourth to a committee for further con sideration, and - a resolution recording the firm stand of the Student Council in favor of clean politics on the campus this year, summarizes the work done by the council at a special meeting called by President Bartholomew last night. The council first considered and rec ommended the proposed amendment to establish a traditions committee, to care for the preservation of Oregon tradi tions, and the supervision of such days as Award day in the spring term and Tradition day in the fall when the in eoming freshmen will be imbued with the traditional Oregon spirit. The council approved the amendment by a unanimous vote. The proposed change in the constitu tion to add 50 cents to the registration fee to provide for concerts on the cam pus was referred again to the commit tee for more specific definition of cer tain clauses. The amendment providing for the general chairmanship of the vice-presi dent of the student body over all activ ity committees, to coordinate such work, and to specifically define the y powers and duties of the vice-president, was unanimously sanctioned. The amendment reapportioning the earnings of the Oregon Daily Emerald was recommended for favorable con sideration by the student body by a unanimous vote. Under the ruling of this amendment, if it is passed by the student body, the editor and manager will receive $400 each if it is possible to pay such an amount out of the earn ings of the publication. Any earnings above such an amount up to $1600 shall be disbursed, one-eighth each to editor and manager, one-fourth to the im provement of the paper, and one-half to the student body treasury. Additional surplus beyond $1600 shall go, one-half to the student body treasury and one half or less to the improvement of the ' paper and the encouragement and re ward of effort on the part of members of the staff, as such rewards are sanc tioned by the executive council. Preparing for the annual student elections, in which the council stands firmly in favor of clean and gentle-1 manly sportsmanship, and strongly sup porting President Bartholomew’s policy of strict punishment of offenders against the political code, the council unanimously passed the following reso lution, “that the Student Council shall regard all violation of political ethics and gentlemanly conduct, as suitable grounds for investigation by the eoun ^ cil.” COUNCIL MEMBERS GUESTS The members of the executive and student councils were guests of the of ficers of Women’s league on Saturday morning at a breakfast held at the Women’s building.

As it is necessary to print the Junior Week-end programs very soon, Simpson urges all organizations to give him the titles of their entries immediately if they wish to have them appear on the program. Little work can be done in actually preparing for the fete until another week has passed. The commit tee has laid complete plans, and the banks of the mill race will be the scene of lively activity as soon as all entries are in. The programs for Junior Week-end are nearly ready for publication. Mor gan Staton, chairman of the committee, promises a good looking program, and one which completely covers all events of the week-end. All ads and other material are ready. The programs will contain cuts of the men on both the Oregon and Washington teams. Wilbur Hulin is drawing the cut for the cover. Fosters Sent Out The work of the publication commit tee is about completed. Stories havs been going out constantly to all parts of the state, and posters were sent broadcast recently. The committee handling this is in charge of Doc Brad dock. Campus day will contain the tug-o war, bnrning of caps, and other events traditional of that time, following the campus luncheon. An afternoon of good amusement is promised by George King, chairman of the committee in charge of this feature of the week-end. Plans for the Junior Prom are pro gressing in good shape. A novel decor ation scheme is being worked out by the committee in charge, of which John Palmer is chairman. Good music has been secured, and the juniors plan to make the dance one of the biggest fea tures of the annual festivities. Luncheon Being Planned Campus luncheon arrangements are going forward rapidly. A plan will be devised in the near future of securing food and monetary contributions from the various living organizations. Lawyer Must Know More Than Criminal Cases, Says Dean Hale (Editor’s Note—This is the first of a series of articles which wlil be run in The Emerald describing the various schools and departments of the Univer sity. A special staff of writers will prepare the articles, which will be col lected and will reappear in a special edition of The Emerald to appear Jun ior Week-end.) “To be a good lawyer a man must know something of chemistry as well as corporations, something of economics as well as contracts,” said Dean W. G. Hale, head of the school of law yestter day. The University of Oregon law school, housed in one of the newer build ings of the campus and equipped with a library of its own numbering over 18, 000 volumes is emphasizing not merely the strictly legal subjects but the advan tages of ineluding work of a general nature. The Oregon idea of a carefully mapped out course is being carried out and means that when the law student enters the University as a freshman plans for his entire course can be made, up until the time he writes the bar examintion. This eliminates the idea that the two yean of pre-legal work are merely marking time. An education in the fundamentals of law is the aim of the school, with the intention that specialization can be ac complished after graduation. “Train ing in law is also excellent training for business and often opens the way to a distinguished business career, ’ ’ said Dean Hale, in speaking of the combined course in commerce and law and the co ordination between the sehool of law and the sehool of business administration. “Since most of our students are resi dents of Oregon and intend to make this state their home we emphasize Oregon statutes, eases and Oregon practice. However we don’t neglect the broad fundamental legal training, we give that (Continued on page two.) 170 MED TO ENTER IHTER-FRATERNITY Hayward to Stage Doughnut Meet; 14 Houses Groom Teams to Win TWO PRIZES ARE OFFERED Semi-finals to Be Run Off Friday; Coach Seeks New Cinder Stars The inter-organization track meet, to be held Saturday afternoon on Hayward field at 2:30 o’clock, in point of num bers will be the biggest staged here this year. Fourteen organizations have submitted lists, containing 176 names, to Coach Bill Hayward. Some of these men will not be eligible because they have failed to live up to the training requirements, but a large number will compete. Letter men will not be eligible to compete for points, although a few may be out for the experience, according to Hayward, and only those men who have been out four nights a week all term may take part. All entries must be turned in by tonight in order that the tryouts may be arranged for Friday. Only two entries in the same event will be allowed from each organization, but there is no limit set on the number of field events for one man and he may also compete in three track events, including the relay. No Twb-mile Bun All standard meet events will be held except the two mile. The mile relay has been changed to the half mile. Five places will be awarded counting five, four, three, two, and one points in every instance. Varsity lettermen will offici ate as head judges, assisted by girls majoring in physical education. Bill has not picked them yet. Most of the trials and semi-finals will be staged Friday afternoon. They are: 100-yard dash, 120-yard hurdles, and tho 220-yard low hurdles, trials and semi finals. Trials in the 220-yard dash and the half mile relay. In all track events except the 440, half mile, and mile, the finals will be worked down to six entries. In all field events the first nine men will qualify for the finals. These trials will also be held Friday. Beat Men Not Out According to Coach Hayward there is every reason to belive that this will be a good meet. It has been his conten tion all year that there were better men in any of the organizations than have been turning out for varsity or fresh man teams. It is the object of this meet to stir up more general enthusiasm and get more of these men out. They will come out more willingly for their organization, says Bill, than for the more strenuous grind of varsity work, and some of this suppressed talent should be on deck Satur day. Two prizes are offered: a cup to go to the organization coming out with great est number of points, and a small gold track shoe for the high point man. While this shoe is small enough to be worn as a watch fob, it is complete in form from shoe string to spikes. Batter for Spectators The meet is to be conducted under improved conditions this time, Bill says. A big score board will be erected so that all may see how the various teams stand at all times. At every pit there will be a score board so that spectators will be able to tell how high the bars are during the whole performance without its being announced . Hayward is well pleased with tne way his girl judges officiated at the fresh man meet last week, and he will proba bly keep on using them in the home con tests. A warning is sounded by the coach to those whose curiosity impels them to come out on the field. Marshals will be present to keep the field clear for the men who are provided with officials’ ribbons. The co-operation of all students is saked in this connection, astoo many on the field only adds to the confusion, and slows down the meet. w. a C.I88UES TENNIS CAJLIi Washington State College, May 2— (P. I. N. S.)—An official call for ten nis candidates has been issued and regular turnouts will start this week. With three letter men back and several men out from last year’s squad, much is expected of Washington State in the Northwest conference. It is doubtful if a team will be entered in the coast conference. INTRAMUBAL SPORTS GAININO Washington State College, May 2— (P. I. N. 8.)—Intramural athletics are again coming to the front at Washing ton State this spring. Baseball, frosh | and npperelass tennis, and track are being arranged for. Intergroup base ball will start this week. POLITICAL CONTESTS ON CAMPUS TIGHTEN MOTHERS Will BE CAMPUS GUESTS OH MAY 12J3AND14 Committee in Charge to Assist Sending Out Invitations to Students’ Families WAYNE AKERS IS CHAIRMAN Program to Extend Over Three Days; Visitors to Be Shown Woman’s Building National Mothers .‘Jay is to be ob served on the campus during the week end of May 12, 13, and 14. Mothers from all over the state and the outside are to be invited to visit the University at this time when an entertainment is to be put on for their benefit. The com mittee in charge of affairs for the week end is centering its efforts toward spread ing the word among the students to ex tend an explicit invitation to their fam ilies, especially their mothers, to come to Eugene at that time. Wayne Akers is in general charge of all arrangements being made. “Mothers’ Day,” he says, “is one in the year which we can ill afford to overlook. This is the third year that it has been set aside as a time for entertainment of parents on the campus. It is a time when we are enabled to show a little appreciation for the sacrifice being made for us by those at home. Urged to Write We hope to have more mothers on the campus than ever before. This can be done only through each student writ ing and inviting his family. Not only will mothers be afforded recreation and entertainment during their visit, but they will also be givon an insight into our scholastic work.” The general program is to be included in the three days, Friday, Saturday, and 9unday. Friday it is expected that stu lents will entertain their parents pri rately in their organizations. Saturday’s program includes a campus luncheon to be held in the open, and a tea for the mothers which will be held in the Wo man’s building in the afternoon. Sun day’s feature will be the vesper ser vices. The arrangements for the luncheon are in charge of Fred Lorenz. The details have not been arranged except that the time has been set for twelve o’clock sharp. Music with the meal will be fur nished by the orchestra which will ren der a program on the campus. To See Memorial Ball The tea during the afternoon will give an opportunity to the mothers to see the Woman’b building. This affair is to be given under the auspices of the Women’s league. They have already promised a musical entertainment for the occasion. The vespers which is an annual event will be mainly a musical program. Both glee clubs will take part. The services to be held at the Methodist church will commence at 2:30 o’clock and are prom ised to be especially interesting to mothers. The sub-committees appointed by Gen eral-chairman Akers to supervise all ar rangements for the week are: Publicity, John MacGregor, chairman, Maxine Buren, Kennth Powers; luncheon, Fred Lorenz, chairman, Marian Swartz, b ran eis Altstock; transportation, Boy Veatch, chairman, Ha Nichols; flowers and decor ations, Jean MacKenzie, chairman, Helen Andrews; entertainment, Ella Rawlings.

Dick Sundeleaf Is in Race With Callaway For Vice-President i CO-ED CODE DUE JUNE 1 PRESIDENT CAMPBELL MAKES SUGGESTIONS TO GIRLS Contest Result of Mrs. Gerlinger’s Suggestions; Deans Fox and Straub in Charge Juno 1, instead of May 1, has boon sot as the date for the submitting of entries in the oo-od eodo contest, ac cording to announcement made yester day by the committee in chargo. The contest is the result of a proposal made by Mrs. Irene H. Gerlingor of Portland to a mass meeting of Women's league last term in which she suggested the formulation of a code which might be typical of college women in all phases of their student living. Mra Gerlinger proposed that the code should embody all of the ideals and principles of Uni versity women which have been regard ed hitherto as an unwritten law on the Oregon campus. She has offered a cash prize of $10 for the most suitable and comprehensive code submitted. President Gives Suggestion In a recent interview, President Campbell offered the following sugges tions for the code: The main points to be emphasized should include sincerity and truth to be applied to examinations as well as to personal relations. Justice, democracy, health, giving special consideration to students’ duties to safeguard themselves and their fel low students with all due precautions in the matter of health. A due sense of proportion and an avoidance of any overclaim of the girls ’ attention in the question of interests, dress and manners. Service, scholarship, spiritual needs, including altruistic activities. President Campbell is evincing a keen interest in the code and has expressed the hope that a large number of entries shall be made. Modal Is Advised As to the form of the code, he sug gested that those Btudents wishing to submit entries should read the code of ethics for journalism formulated by Dean Dyment and which is available in the journalism department or in the administration offices. He also pro posed the use of a form similar to the Ten Commandments of the biblical Beatitudes. Dean Fox and Dean Straub are in charge of the contest and a committee composed of Ellen McVeigh, Margaret Jackson and Peggy Beattie, is arrang ing for suggestions and entries. Either individual students or organ izations are free to submit manuscripts and it is hoped that there will be a generous response on the part of all University women. “The formulation of the code is a means of performing a great service to the women of the University, both of the present and the future,” Dean Fox believes, and she is anxious that a num ber of entries be submitted, that there may be a wide range for selection, thus insuring the adoption of the most all embracing and appropriate code. BILL mil TOSSES HAT IBTO BWG FOB SENIOR-MAN OFFICE Surprises Not Unlikely to Be Sprung as Late as Student Body Meeting; Dutch Gram Runs for Executive Council Political activities on the campus yesterday produced the usual quota of aspiring candidates and the moat im portant announcement of the day was that of a second candidate in the raee for vice-president of the A. S. U. O. From all appearances there will be no offices conferred upon any of the can didates without keen competition, which is befitting of the importance of the A. 8. IT. O. offices and the qualifi cations of the candidates. Dick Sundeleaf is the latest aspirant for the vice-presidential seat. Owen Callaway was announced yesterday as seeking the place, and Dutch Oram wishes the position of junior man on the executive council. Presidential Race Unchanged The presidential competition in its three-cornered aspect romains un changed after a busy day yesterday. The uncertainty which has hung over the executive position as to the prob able number of aspirants appears to liavo been cleared up temporarily, yet there is still a possibility of new de velopments ere the nominations close. The triangular aspect of the presi dential race is equalled only by that for the position of editor of the Em erald. The announcement of Curly Lawrence to enroll in the ranks of the candidates has blasted the political dopesters’ predictions again and with Ep Hoyt and Ken Touel seeking the editorial chair this race promises all the uncertainty of the presidential cam paign. Dorris Sikes and Velma Farnham have been left alone in the race for the editorship of the Oregana, the student year book. Three Up for Senior Man Another candidate for senior man on the student council was also announced yesterday. Bill Purdy is the third aspirant to enlist. This brings the seekers for council seats as senior men representatives up to three. George Adler and Hadden Rockhey were previ ously announced. Three are to be elect ed but it is not thought that these po sitions will be handed out on the pro verbial platter. And if announcements are not made before tomorrow's assem bly, they will in all probability be forthcoming then.
