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.”

PLANS ALMOST COMPLETE
TITLES OF FLOATS FOR CANOE
FETE MUST BE TURNED IN
Junior Week-end Committee Announces
Activity In Preparation for
Annual Feetivitiee
Very fow houses have as yet turned
in the names of their floats for the
canoe fete, according to Harold Simp
son, who is in charge of the event. 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hampden in Hamlet Triumphs
Before an Enthusiastic House
\ great tradition was nobly upheld by
| Walter Hampden in Hamlet last night
jin his presentation of ono of the rich
I est roles in all literature with a dis
; tinction of manner and a pulsating beau
ty which is perhaps to<lay unequalled.
Through the troubled halls of Klsi
nore, shadowy and fogged almost as his
own spirit, he moved, a thing of pity
and almost terror, a very real Hamlet.
For Hampden seems not to be acting
Hamlet but to be living him. He played
| the part, one which in the past few years
j has become an accepted classic, in a man
! ner which Bhows in the wordB of one
'critic has sagl the “high deetiny which
the stage may attain when it is treated
with the reepeet and honor due a great
art.”
Simple and beautiful were the outlines
of the young Price of Denmark in whose
doubtful soul raged such a conflict.
Boinebow, though, one senses beneath
those outlines not a coldly debating,
intellectual Hamlet, not a character
loaded with the moss of tradition heaped
up by tho problem mongers, but one flush
with the warm blood of vigorous life
striving and so very hard and hindered
by a fatal flaw to avengo the murder of
a father and a loss of all that is dear,
ideals, love of mother, love of Ophelia.
It was a moving Hamlet, and a finely
tempered Hamlet, played with an alert
ness and fine sensitiveness of spirit. The
grave-digger scene, always a test, was
superb. Hampden’s sensing of the full
situation in Hamlet’s jealousy of Laer
