Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME 'xxni UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1922 NUMBER 125 VARSITY NINE ill MEETW.S.C.TODAY IN FIRST OF SERIES local Opener This Afternoor Expected to Be Close if Weather Is Good LINEUP IS NOT ANNOUNCED l Sun Dodgers to Be Here Mon day and Tuesday with Strong Team \ At 4 o ’clock today, with the weather man willing, the first local collegiate edition of the great national game will make its appearance when the varsity tossers face the hard hitting crew from Washington State college. The Cougars will arrive in Eugene on the 12:30 Oregon Electric from the north, Oregon being the first point of attack on their southern invasion. Should it be warm enough this after noon to make peanut crunching an en joyable pastime, the Ridge bleachers should be well filled, for the Cougar athletic teams have always been good drawing cards and this year, with one of the best baseball teams in their history, should be no exception. Coach Bohler is uncertain as to who will start the game today, either in the box or in the field, and intends making a last minute decision on all points. The coach has clipped his squad for the remainder of the season and all of the men on the present sqnad will, according to the coach, be very likely to have a chance to show their re spective abilities in the series with the ■Staters. Sqnad Is Listed The following men will make up ■Oregon’s baseball squad for the re mainder of the season: Pitchers, Wright, Baldwin, Ringle, Gray, Leon ard; catchers, Leslie (captain), John son, Watson; infield, Johnson, Ross, Moore, Beller, Mooers, Latham; out fielders, Zimmerman, Geary, Roycroft, Sorsby, Collins. All of these men will be ineligible for doughnut baseball, as ■will the freshmen who make the trip to Portland this week-end. Saturday afternoon Washington State and Oregon will wind up the series, the Saturday game starting at 2:30. On Monday and Tuesday afternoons the varsity will take on the University of Washington Sun Dodgers in a two-game series, both of which will commence at 4 o’clock. The Sun Dodgers have a strong team this year and opened the season successfully against the Oregon ians a couple of weeks since, when they took over the two games at Seattle 13-6 and 13-2. Lineup Hot Announced While Bohler is not giving out his lineup, it is likely that he will start Wright, Ringle or Baldwin in the box with Captain Leslie or Ward Johnson behind the bat. Johnny Watson, a catcher, Dinty Moore and A1 Moores, infielders, and Leonard, a pitcher, who are now on the squad, are almost cer tain to break into the lineup during the series as the coach is anxious to get a line on their abilities under fire. For Washington State it is likely that Triel or Skadan will do the heaving with Bray or Sandberg donning the mask. And with the varsdty’s im provement since returning from the trip it should be a good game. Protuseness of Politicians Is Butt of Satire Inspired by the profuseness of cer tain politicians seeking preferment on the campus, Muriel Meyers has writ ten the following paraphrase on a well-known gam of ancient litera ture: “The politician is my shepherl; I shall not want for anything during his campaign He leadsth me into the Campa Shoppe for his vote's sake. Tea though I tramp through the mud and the rain to vote for him and about myself hoarse whan he la elected, straightway he forgetteth me. He does not recognise mo even In his own home. Surely the wool has bean polled over mine agree all the days of my Ufa and I shall dwell in the house of a goof forever.” THEY TELLS OF TESTS EXPERIMENTS DEAL WITH WORE IN FIELD OF HEREDITY Discovery of Transmission to Progenj of Induced Changes in Rabbits’ Eyes Furthers Science “One of the most interesting and re markable experiments in the field ol heredity—that of changing the sub stance in the eyes of animals—has beer made by Professor Michael Guyer, 01 the University of Wisconsin,” said Dr Harry Beal Torrey, head of the zoologj department, Wednesday, while speaking on the subject, “Recent Development) in Biology” before a meeting of th« Graduate club at the Anchorage. This experiment was made, said Dr Torrey, with rabbits which were imrau nized by vaccination against the sub stance with which the eye lenses arc made. The result of this in future gen erat.ions of the rabbits was that the eyes of the young rabbits were changed and sometimes destroyed. “The interesting thing to medical science,” said Dr. Torrey, “is that these malformations are inherited. We have here a production of a specific modifi cation in a heritable form, which is oi large consequence in furthering med ical work. It bears especially upon the question of the inheritance of ‘acquired characters’.” Another important discovery in the field of medical science was cited by Dr. Torrey as that made by Alexis Carrel, a member of the staff of medi cal research of the Rockefeller Insti tute, who has found that cells taken from the heart of the embryo of a young chicken in its early stages before hatching can be made to live indefi nitely in an incubator. In this process the blood plasma, which the cells live upon, is changed and as the cell tissues increase in size they are divided in order that they will not become too large. “ Carrel is now experimenting with the cells which he took from the em bryo of an egg ten years ago,” said Dr. Torrey. “and he says that he can keep on growing them.” OREGON METHODS NOTED A request has been received by Al fred Powers, of the extension division, from the University of Idaho for in formation on the methods of distribu tion and kinds of service given by the visual instruction department of the University of Oregon extension divi sion. The extension division of the University of Idaho is planning to establish a visual instruction depart ment similar to Oregon’s. Journalists Warned Against Entering Field Unprepared “Journalism furnishes a very inviting field for the young person who has thor oughly prepared himself for it, but it ia a dangerous one to enter without adequate preparation,” said Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, yesterday. “The man unfitted for the work is altogether too unlikely to attain the more profitable and enjoyable positions in the profession, and to be forced into a routine position. “One of the things that makes jour nalism very attractive as a field for ■work,” Dean Allen went on to say, “is the very wide influence wielded by the professional journalist. “More than any other man he has the chance to leave the mark of his per sonality on the community in which he lives. The influence he wields not only affects thousands of people but may endure over many years. "Oregon of today would not be the name place had it not been for some of the early newspaper men, Harvey Scott, for instance, who ia still a living in fluence in Oregon today.” Dean Allen thought that there is hardly any profession in which success depends to such a great extent uporf the fundamental education of the man. “On the other hand,” the dean added, “there is hardly a profession in which a man, whose education is broad and sound, will find more pleasing and varied opportunities for exercise of the abilities his education has developed.” Because such a broad knowledge of things is needed, the school of journal ism refers its students to many other departments of the University for a great deal of their training. Opportunities in the field of journal ism are very inviting to the young man or woman just starting out on a profes sional career. Taken all in all, it also ranks as one of the best paid of the professions. At the present time there are some 30 fields from whieh the trained jour nalist may choose profitably. They em brace jobs of the free lanee type, edi torial positions, foreign posts, manager ial and advertising places, trade and class journalism and the teaching of journalism. AMENDMENT ASKS NEW DISTRIBUTION OF EMERALD FUNDS Plan Limits Pay of Editor and Manager; Student Treasury to Share COUNCIL CONTROLS MONEY Growth of University and of Daily Makes Change Necessary ' Through the joint action of the pub | lications committee and the finance committee of the Executive Council, the amendment proposed at the student assembly yesterday morning by Floyd Maxwell, editor of the Emerald, has been definitely decided upon as the • best solution of the proper distribution of the earnings of the student publica tion. The rapid growth of the student body during the past year has made it imperative that an improved financial ! plan be proposed. Taking cognizance of this fact, the two committees, after three lengthy meetings and several hours of discussion by various mem bers thoroughly familiar with the situ ation both from the business stand point and the editorial aspect, decided upon the change of system provided for in the amendment. ■mall Committee Acts As a result of the discussion in these meetings, a smaller committee com posed of Bean Eric Allen of the sehool of journalism; Karl Onthank, faculty representative on the finance commit tee; Floyd Maxwell, editor of the Em erald and chairman of the publications committee, and Jack Benefiel, gradu ate manager, was appointed with full power to draw up a proper amendment to be submitted for the approval of the Student Council and the Executive Council and afterwards to be proposed to the associated students. The proposed amendment, drawn up by the smaller committee and approved by the two councils, to be voted upon at the regular election next Wednesday, has no significance further than that it limits the financial remuneration of the editor and the manager, and provides a more elaborate system of the distri bution of the funds from the paper, should any profits accrue during the year. Paragraph 3 of section 3 of Art icle II of the by-laws now carries the qualification that after the (400 salary to the editor and manager, each, the profits shall be divided as follows: SO per cent to the associated students and 25 per cent eaeh to the editor and the manager. Surplus Provided for Under the proposed amendment the profits over and above the $400 now provided for will be divided one-eighth each to the editor and manager, one fourth to the improvement of the paper, and one-half to the treasury of the as sociated students. This arrangement ceases automatically at the $1600 mark. If further profits over $1600 are real ized, the Executive Council in confer ence with the publications committee shall decide upon what apportionment j shall go to the student treasury and j what apportionment to the “encourage ment and reward of effort and achieve-1 ment among the staff.” The share of the profits up to the i $1600 mark and whatever further share 1 is proportioned to the Emerald shall be budgeted and expended only under such plan and budget as the Executive Coun cil shall approve after the editor and the publications committee have sub mitted a report. Must Keep Pace with Growth The committee in submitting the re port and the amendment for the con sideration and vote of the associated students, held that in view of the rapid growth of the University it was essen tial that the Emerald keep pace with that growth and that a wider distribu tion of the profits in improving the paper would fill the necessary demand if the amendment should be adopted by the students. The full text of the proposed amendment is printed in an other column of this issue exactly as it will be placed upon the ballot at the election. TENHI8 TEAM GOES TO PORTLAND The tennis match scheduled between : W. 8. C. and Oregon for yesterday af- j ternoon was called off on account of rain. The Oregon team left last night for Portland where they will play Reed j college this afternoon and tomorrow will play several matches with Mult nomah. Men making the trip are Cap tain Smith, Williams, Cnlbertson and j Hayden. i 35 CANDIDATES UP FOR OFFICE MJWT TRACK MEN DOT II NIL EVENTS THIS IFIEHNOI Preliminaries for Big Inter* organization Meet to Be Run Off TRYOUTS REDUCE NUMBER Oval to Be in Good Shane; Printed Programs to Be Broadcasted This afternoon at 3 o ’clock Coach Bill Hayward will start running off the preliminaries to the big inter-ograniza tion track meet to be staged on Hay ward field Saturday afternoon. Bill issued out the individual numbers for the tracksters last night and he wants them to be on hand today with these : numbers on their suits. As things now stand, the preliminar ies will be almost as big an event as the meet itself. At present there are 20 men out for the 100-yard dash, 12 out for the mile, 18 for the 22C-yard dash, 8 for the 120-yard high hurdles, 18 for the 440-yard dash, 12 for the 220-yard low hurdles, 18 for the half mile, 7 for the pole vault, 17 for the shot put, 18 for the broad jump, 15 for the discus, 14 for the high jump, 13 for the jave lin, and 11 half-mile relay teams com posed of four men each. Of course the tryouts this afternoon will greatly reduce this number, but it insures a full bill in every contest for the meet. Bill says that it is going to be “some meet.” All he is worried about now is the weather, and about spectators coming out on the field to get a better view. He promises that there will be plenty of marshals to put the intruders off, but he would rather have the cooperation of the students. In this way the whole affair can be run off at a faster clip, and no one will feel hurt. Official programs are being gotten out by the athletic department to be broadcasted over the eampus. Provid ing that it does not rain too much be tween now and tomorrow, the track will be in ship shape for good records. The various places for the field events within the oval have been improved, and score boards will be placed at eaeh of these to enable spectators to see what is going on at all times at the pits. In addition to these, there will be a big score board placed where ali can see it, on which the standings of the different teams will be kept up with the meet at all times. In this way the announcer will save most of his wind, and students will be posted at all times. SWEETSERS TO MAKE TRIP Botanist and Wife to View Southern Oregon Wild Flowers Professor and Mrs. A. R. Sweetser will leave Friday or Saturday for a three or four weeks’ trip through southern Oregon where Mr. Sweetser, head of the botany department, will do some field work. They are making the trip by automobile to Orants Pass and over the mountains to Kerby. “This region is one of the best bo tanical sections of Oregon,” said Mr. Sweetser. “I have always wanted to visit that part of the country but have never been able before. It is better to make the trip in spring, for in July after school is out, the flowers are gone.” POISON OAK OASES FEW In spite of expectations that many cases of poison oak would come as a result of the wonderful spring weather of last week-end, there have been very few cases reported to the dispensary and infirmary in the last three days. Nnrses say that there is less sickness now than there has been for some time. ENGAGEMENT IS ANNOUNCED Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Berger, of 1570 Pearl street, have announced the en gagement of their daughter, Corbina, to Dan E. Lyons, of Oregon City. Mr. Lyons is a sophomore in the school of journalism. No definite date has been set for the wedding. Si# Amendments Proposed in Big Student Session FROSH BASEBALL TEAM WILL PLAY IN PORTLAND Two Games Scheduled for Week-end Tangle with Columbia; Babes to See League Tilt The freshman baseball team, com posed of 13 players, and accompanied by Coach Shy Huntington and Manager Pat Irelan left last night for Port land where they will tangle with Co lumbia university in two games this week-end. These games are the return games for the two played by Columbia hero two weeks ng®, the first of which the frosh won by 7 to 5, but the second resulted in a slaughter for Columbia, the final score being 23 to 8. The men making the trip are Brana man. Skinner, Brooks and Easterday as pitchers; Cook and Orr, catchers; Bur ton, Vester, Sullivan and Troutman, in fielders, and Haynes, King and Hard ing, outfielders. These men have been playing regularly all season and all deserve the trip. The plan at present is to play this afternoon and Saturday morning if possible, thus giving the frosh a chance to see the Coast league game between Seattle and Portland in the afternoon, said Shy. Shy was undecided as to who would start the games but it will probably be either Skinner or Brannman in the pitcher’s box, with Cook or Orr re ceiving. Hicks, the Columbia twirler, should hold the yearlings to a small score if he is going as good as he did down here. FOREIGN STUDENTS FROLIC Native Dances, Games and Movies to Be Featured at Party Tonight Dances and games of their native countries will be the features at the party for foreign students to be held in the Y. M. C. A. hut this evening. Several of the Filipino boys will dance, and it is possible that there will also be an East Indian dance on the pro gram. Several reels of motion pictures will be shown, including a feature play and news reel. Eats, plenty of them, and a jolly good time for all is promised to those who come. GBOBGE STEARNS ON CAMPUS George Stearns, ’22, is a guest at the Phi Delta Theta house to remain until after Junior Week-end. He has been playing a pipe organ in Los Angeles, but expects to come back to complete his education here. ENGAGEMENT IS ANNOUNCED Announcement of the engagement of Richard Dixon to Miss Hildrcd Hall was made at the Gamma Phi Beta house last night. Both are members of the junior class. Mr. Dixon is a membor of Phi Delta Theta. J1EE MIS snil m FIELD for urn Much Eulogistic Oratory Let Loose in Providing Flying Start at Political Hurdle; Week of Vote-Gathering on Amid' bursts of oratory seldom equaled in campus circles, in which im promptu lawyers, varsity debaters, em bryo glee club songsters and campus journalists participated, the annual nomination assembly passed into history yesterday for another year. Dark horses developed and enough surprises were sprang to satisfy the plebeian throngs on the main floor of the as sembly hall and in the suspended bal conies, for many days to come. And with the close of the meeting, the tor rid week of political maneuvering which will culminate in the annual elec tion was begun. Two days of grace are granted by the A. 8. IT. O. constitution in which further aspirations may be satisfied by the filing of further nominations by petition, but it is not thought probable that the privilege will be used to any great extent. Three Without Opposition As yet, however, there are no con tests lined up for secretary of the A. 8. IT. O., man representative for a two year term on the executive council, and yell king. Petitions must be signed by 50 students to enter any further candi dates, and must be officially submitted to the A. 8. U. O. secretary, Helen Car son, before midnight tomorrow night. Thirty-five candidates are in the race for the 15 offices to be filled. The last moment developments con sisted in one additional candidate for senior representative on the Student Council, in Dorothy Cash; four candi dates for junior representative on the Council, as follows: Hal Berry, Alfred Erickson, Pat Irelan and Jack Myers, and one additional candidate for sopho more representative on the Council, in Chappy King. No Candidate Withdraws No withdrawals or reversals of de cisions took place, and the entire list as it has been announced day by day as the campaign has rapidly progressed was nominated in glowing eulogies by enthusiastic orntors. The assembly hall was crowded to overflowing, and in tense excitement manifested in the out breaks of class yells and applanse at the least provocation indicated the in terest which has developed during the past few days in the coming election of A. 8. U. O. officers. Several amendments relative to the (Continued on page two.) Pistol Fire Barrage Lays Low Winner ot Girl’s Affections Just a few minutes before 6 o’clock last night, when the Campa Shoppe was filled with students, an irate man wild ly rushed into the place, accured Helen Carson of a sudden transference of af fections, and then in a heated alterca tion fired three shots at the identical portion of space occupied by Curly Lawrence, who attended Miss Carson. The man who wielded the wicked gun was Ogden Johnson. Johnson, after speaking to Miss Car son in a vituperative manner, called Lawrence names which are not usually printed. It is believed that both men reached for the places where their ar tillery was parked simultaneously, but Johnson laid down bis barrage first— a barrage of three shots which, accord ing to a physician who was present to take an inventory of the amount of lead absorbed by the vietim, may mean soft music for Lawrenee. Junt before the tragedy, witnessed by nearly a hundred students who were in the Campa Shop for their evening meals, an enterprising reporter inter viewed the man who was to be the vic tim of the wicked weapon wielded by Johnson. Mr. Lawrence confided to the extractive reporter that he was to be slain by a person who was insanely jealous. lie was not certain about the j size of the gun with which he was to be punctured. After the shooting, witnessed by | nearly a hundred students, Lawrence i was rushed to the hospital or to the j undertaking parlors. It was not learned at a late hoar last night whether he was still on earth. The case will be tried in the moot court on May 13. This will be the first murder case tried by the student lawyers. LeRoy Anderson will prose cute the case, while “Duke” Howard will appear for the defense.
