Editor 666 tHONES Business Manager 961 Daily News Editor This Issue Arthur Rudd Night Editor This Iisue Don Woodward An Inefficient Intramural Plan Under the present system the intramural athletic program as worked out for the University and presented as a greater aspect of a plan for every man to participate in physical exercise, has not proved the success that its enthusiasts had hoped for and anticipated. In stead of providing a smooth working program of competitive events with proper methods of executing the program, which in the end would have resulted in keen competition more for the love of the sport rather than for the love of victory, the intramural program has produced an opposite and highly undesirable effect. It is unfortunate that resentment and a feeling that discrimina tion has been creeping into the plan of arranging intramural com petition, have been entertained by various organizations. Yet this could easily have been avoided by the proper organization of the pro gram in all its details at the start of the year, and there need have been no misunderstandings, if this matter of regulations had been at tended to. The primary purpose of the intramural sports plan cannot be accomplished where an efficient organization is not provided for taking care of its many issues and points of discussion. Uniform regulations carefully worked out by a committee or board thoroughly familiar with all the problems involved must be provided before its purpose will ever be accomplished. The coaches are familiar with these problems, but in many instances they have not taken into con sideration the general aspect of the plan and arrived at a solution which will bring about the highest efficiency ii\ maintaining the intramural system. The Emerald hopes that the confusion and difficulties which have been met during t he past year in working out t he schedules, eligibility rules and the many other important details involved will be of value to the authorities in properly organizing the program for the future. Before the efficiency of the intramural sports can be realized to its fullest extent it is imperative that this matter of uniform regulations and organization be disposed of in a manner accepted in good grace by all. The haphazard system of settling these details in an unofficial manner at the disposition of coaches or trainers in many instances within a day or two of the beginning of the schedules has not resulted satisfactorily. These unfortunate results with their attending crit icism might easily be avoided, and should be. Among the constitutional amendments to be presented soon for the careful consideration of the students is one providing for a more satisfactory distribution of the earnings of The Emerald with an ultimate desire to promote the efficiency of the staff and the quality of the publication by rewarding the achievements of the various members. The need for such an amendment has arisen through devel opments over which no one had control or could have predicted. The new plan will be in accord with the desire of the publications committee and the executive council, and the drawing up of the amendment has been very carefully attended to. It merits an affirm ative vote when it is put before the students. Ben Selling’s gift of $1,000 to the University loan fund on the occasion of his seventieth birthday was characteristic of a man who has been a leader in public spirit and philanthropy in this state for many years. Mr. Selling picked a most worthy objefct of his gener. osity. This loan fund w ill be the means of making possible a college education to numbers of deserving students. Mr. Selling’s example would be a splendid one for other wealthy citizens to emulate.

Open Forum To the Editor: It is with conflicting emotions that the Lemon Punch views the action of the Dean Of Men at the University of Washington in regard to the Sun Dodger. With the Sun Dodger, the Lemon Punch is more or less closely connected, being published by the same society which hae as its aims clean humor. The Sun Dod ger has misstepped in that they have vio lated the societies aims. But before we as a student body should censor or sane tion its abolishment, let us consider the fame that SunDodger has brot itf University. The publication reaches every college in the United States and several in Canada. It is clipped as much or more than any other college publica tion in the States its sister comics and by the national publications. It is rec ognized as one of the greatest collegt comics in the world. Thru these things the University has received more adver tising than its circulars or athletics could bring it possibly. The Sun Dod ger has become famous but oversteppec its bounds. The Lemon Punch has been free fron all questionable wit since its inaugura tion on the campus last year and it wil he kept so. It has been clipped by al the college comics and Life and Judge for its clean brand of humor and has risen to recognition. A comic magasino is the only outlet on the campus for the humor which all college students have lest they be unfit for lifes knocks and success Where else is there a place for the pub lication of art work! 'Hie Lemon Punch has always beet fully supported by the students and we have always thot, appreciated by then since they realize that it is still but t youthful publication. I firmly disagree with the Dean oi Men at Washington in his statement that there is not sufficient humor to warranl a comic on the campus. There is humoi and it is abundant. We have to casl aside enough each issue to print anothei magasine the same size thru lack o: space. It is clean humor too. Is lift such a dull existauce afterallf I au filled with misgivings when I try t< think that it is nothing but a grand anc glorious chase of the almighty dollar The world must laugh and so must tin student in his downhearted hours. Then are at present some 150 college comics ii existauce and they are fully sanctionet by the students at the various colleges This is not au apology for the Lemot Punch but an answer to such comments a have been made.

N 8.) —May 2.—Campus foibles ridiculei anil campus characters disguised will ap pear in the “C plus.” a college com mentarv on the average student, which ha been written by Max Miller.

' Undoubtedly, my prolix antagonist, Webster is of the Bomantie school; granted, my ominous opponent, that Webster quite exceeds the penny dread- , ful in thrills; conceded all these things —yet I fear, oh how I do fear, that you cannot romance as Webster ro- j manced. Tou had better stick to real ism. For in realism one can oft repeat ! the simple phrases of childhood, and inasmuch as you do sound rather child ish—well, why don’t you try realism ! Away then with the brummagem boomlah boom of empty sound, and the ceaseless rodomontade of hot ozone, i And, if you must use large words, for gosh sakes leave the realm of zoology ! for a while. Or do you find it easier to comprehend the words illustrated by nice pictures! “See the cat,” “see the rat, ’’etc. • «■ • Well, Carny, I’ve had a long talk with myself, and I’ve just about decid ed to run. What for! Ah, you ask a leading question; in short, it’s none of your darned business- I guess I can run for what I want to run. Anyhow, Vve had all sorts of pressure brought to bear on me, and there is a crying need for good candidates. I think I am eminently qualified for the job for the following reasons: 1. As a matter of policy I’ve pigged at all the gals’ houses. 2. I’ve did my very doggondest to be such a nice boy with the faculty, the administration, and all the worth-while people. 3. I belong to seventeen (17) honor fraternities, and I wear seventeen (17) pins, all emblazoned on my manly bosom in heraldic array. 4. I’ve tried to be as near the head of all parades as humanly possible without stepping on the heels of the fellow carrying the big bass drum. I think those qualifications ought to elect me without much trouble. Of course, speaking of actual intelligence, —but we weren’t speaking of that, were we! Now here is my platform: 1. Free chewing tobacco, to be chained (after the fashion of the old drinking cup) at the entrance to all buildings, so that all males—and fe males so desiring—may have nourish ment during the gray reaches of the 8 o’clock hour. 2. Establishment of study tables un der the nicotine bush. 3. Emancipation from the duty of laughing at our dear instructors’ stale jokes. That’s my present platform, Carny; of course, it isn’t complete. After nom inations, I ’ll have a lot of new ideas. One thing: I don’t care to run for inspector of the library steps. It’s too monotonous a job. E. J. H. — LAME DUCK CLUB TO BE ORGANIZED BY DEFEATED Rejected Candidates Will Be Eligible and Officers Will Be Chosen at Meeting This Afternoon Brewed in the minds of political watch-dogs for some time, a “Lame Ducks’ club,” to be composed of all men and women on the campus who have been defeated candidates for some student office at one time or another during their college career, is at last to be organized.

KAPPA SIGMA, SIGMA CHI WIN IN TWO CLOSE GAMES S. A. E. Loses After Staging Bally; Chi Psi Take Short End of 10-9 Score In Fast Contest Two tight finish games featured the second round of the doughnut league series yesterday afternoon. The Kappa Sigs nosed the Sig Alphs out by a 9 to 8 score in the first game and Chi Psi took the short end of a 10-9 score in the Sigma Chi-Chi Psi fracas. The feature of the first game was the fancy slab work of Rol Andre, who whiffed 11 men during the seven in nings and let the S. A. E. ’s down with seven hits. In the seventh, however, Andre wobbled and passed Purdy. Crandall took the next ball amidships and pushed it out of the lot for two bases, advancing Purdy to third. Bee man, next up, dribbled a grounder to Larson, Kappa Sig short stop, who made a bad throw to first letting in two runs. Beeman scored on Wade’s out but Ford knocked a pop fly to first, ending the game. B. H. E. Kappa Sigma . 9 10 2 S. A. E. 8 9 3 Batteries—Kappa Sigma, Andre and Bliss. S. A.

Sigma Chi managed by good hit ting to keep one run apace of their opponents and at the finish of the sev enth had seven runs more chalked up to their credit, making the final score 10-9. R. H. E.

LAWYER MUST KNOW MORE (Continued from page one) and top it off with emphasis on any de parture or variation in the ^bparatb states,” declared the head of the school. Dean Hale spoke of the popular im pression that a gifted orator would make the best lawyer and stated that perfec tion in oratory is not at all essential. ‘ ‘ In fact I sometimes think that it may be a handicap, ’ ’ he said. The chief source of power is the ability to pre sent a case in clear and concise English. The organization of the course provides that under ordinary circumstances two years shall be spent in pre-legal work, whereupon the student may be admitted to the law school. There are two de grees which are granted. The degree of Bachelor of Laws (LL. B.) follows three full years of professional study, and the degree of Doctor of Jurispru dence (J. D.) three years of study aftei having received a collegiate degree. The latter degree may be obtained after sir years at the University. The enrollment for the last term was 111, including the students in the fresh ! man and sophomore class. The school of law occupies the entire third floor of the Oregon building.

UNIVERSITY POST-OFFICE DOES RUSHING BUSINESS — Extension Division Responsible for Largest Part; About 3000 Pieces of Mail Handled Daily The campus post-office is a busy place these days, according to H. M. Fisher, postmaster. At present 1500 catalogues of the University are in the office and will soon be distributed to all parts of the country. Some 4000 leaflets prepared by the registrar and entitled “Tour Next Step” will soon be sent from the campus office to high school seniors and graduates through out the state. The greater portion of the mail going through the campus office is first-class matter. The extension department gives the office more mail than any other department on the campus, ac cording to Mr. Fisher. Sometimes they send out as many as a thousand letters a day, he said. The campus post-office is not a sub station of the government office. For this reason they can issue no money or ders. They may insure mail however, and during .the last three months have insured about 700 letters and packages. During a three-month period a record of the business of the office was kept and it was found that about 3000 pieces of mail went through the office daily. Stamp sales averaged about $700 a month during this same period. The campus office employs five per sons, one of whom is a girl. Three of the employees are students who work two hours each day. Mr. Fisher has been employed in the office since last fall. Previous to that he was for 13 years superintendent of grounds. SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED FOR DOUGHNUT SERIES Only Varsity Players Ruled Out by Those in Charge; First Round Must End by May 13 The doughnut tennis schedule has been announced and the first round will have to be run off by May 13. The teams that do not play are liable to ex pulsion from the league, say those in charge. All men are eligible with the excep tion of varsity tennis men or any men whom the coaches of other sports keep from entering. Doubles only will be played, and the matches will be on a straight elimination basis with the teams being ruled out after losing a match. The schedule as planned matches the teams in pairs, but no definite time is set for the matches, the idea being that the teams can get together and play their game before May 13, which is the final date for the first round of the series. In order to determine tho standing of the first nine teams which are eliminated, it will be absolutely necessary to play three sets, even if one team wins the first two. The scores of the games must be reported to the office of the school of physical education as soon as the games are over. The schedule is as follows: Betas vs. Oregon club: S. A. E. vs. Delta Tau; Sigma Chi vs. Sigma Nu; Kappa Delta Phi vs. Kappa Theta Chi; Friendly vs. 'Chi Psi: Phi Delta Pi vs. Phi Delta (Theta: Phi Sigma Pi vs. Phi Gamma Delta: Bachelordon vs. Alpha Tau; i Kappa Sigma vs. Delta Theta Phi. The schedule for the second round will be j announced after May 13. PORTLAND PARK HEAD HERE ' President of National Association Will Address Architects — E. T.
