Oregon Daily Emerald UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, MAY 9, 1922 VOLUME XXIII. NUMBER 127 JUNIOR WEEK-END CANOE FETE FLOATS Seventeen Entries to Change Mill Race into Fairyland with Birds and Ships PROGRAM IS ANNOUNCED 1 Fourteen Hundred Capacity of Completed Bleachers; Prom Arranged With the permanent bleachers com pleted, names of the floats of all or ganizations handed in, and a large com mittee actively working on plans for the annual canoe fete presentation, the prospects for a record-breaking mill race event Friday night, May 18, seem good. Rumors as to the ideas being acted upon by the various houses in preparing their floats indicate that some unusually attractive and novel ef fects will be carried out. \ Entries Are Varied The lineup of entries for the fete is as follows: Alpha Chi Omega and Sigma Chi— Madrigal. Alpha Delta Pi and Bachelordon— La Pinta. Alpha Phi and Alpha Tau Omega —Neptune and his Daughters. Alpha Sigma and Delta Tau Delta —Pharaoh’s Court. Chi Omega and Sigma Alpha Ep silon—Adoration. Delta Delta Delta and Sigma Nu— The Spell of India. Delta Gamma and Phi Gamma Delta—Lalita Fuentes. Delta Zeta and Beta Theta Pi— The Swan. Gamma Phi Beta and Delta Theta Phi—The Witching Hour. Hendricks Hall and Chi Psi—Van ity Garden. Kappa Alpha Theta and Kappa Delta Phi—“The Ship of the Holy Grail” (from “Solomon’s Ship,” hy Abbey.) Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Theta Chi—Bon Bons. Oregon Club—A Grecian Ship. Pi Beta Phi and Phi Sigma Pi— The Jade God. Susan Campbell and Kappa Sigma —The Phantom Ship. Thacher Cottage and Friendly Hall —Utility. Zeta Bho Epsilon and Phi Delta Theta—The Love Ship. Bleachers Completed Saturday The bleachers, which were completed Saturday, will provide seats for about 1400 spectators. An attempt will be made this year to run the floats down the race at regular intervals, and it is the plan to put on the entire fete in one hour and a half. To do this, some of the brush will be cleared off the race, and a system of starting bells will be used. Every effort is to be made to avoid confusion, and send the floats down the race in proper order at the right time. A novel and attractive summer gar den effect, selected as the theme of this year’s decorations for the Junior Prom, is working out well. Nothing will be left out to produce the desired atmosphere—stars, lattice work, pale moonlight, beautiful shrubbery—all will be included. Gaieties Start Thursday The program for the entire Junior Week-end festivities has been complet ed, and it leaves the hours from early (Continued on page three) SENIOR MEETING WILL DISCLOSE MYSTERIES Wearers of the Sacred Headgear Will Work Out Plans for Future Events Tonight at 4:00 — Members of the senior class possess knowledge of a mystic event which is slated to occur within the nest few days, but they are guarding their secret zealously and none but members of the lofty clan have an inkling as to what is going to happen. They will meet this afternoon at 5 o ’clock at the Y. M. C. A. hut at which time further details 1 of the event will be uncovered. In the meantime rumors of another “Sen ior leap week” fill the ait. President Leith Abbott refuses to shed a ray of light on the situation but further in cites campus wonder by urging that seniors turn out 100 per cent for the meeting this afternoon. Some of the campus wiseacres scent a beauty contest and are grooming themselves so as to make a good ap pearance at the meeting tonight. Others hold that the coming election has something to do with the contemplated action, but the fact remains that but few students on the campus have any thing but prophesies as to what the sombrero wearers are going to spring on the unsuspecting campus. OflUBLE-lDERlS TODAY VARSITY TO MEET HUSKIES AT 1LAND 4 O’CLOCK Washington State Takes Second Game from Lemon-Yellow Nine by Score of 10 to 0 The Washington-Oregon baseball game which was scheduled yesterday afternoon at 4, had to be postponed on account of the heavy rainfall, and as a result the two games will be played today, weather permitting. The first game is scheduled for 11 o’clock, while the second is billed for 4 this afternoon. The Washington Huskies have al ready conquered the Varsity twice in opening conference series played at the outset of the Lemon Yellow’s northern trip by 13-6 and 13-2 scores, and while they have not tangled as yet this year with Washington State college, the other outstanding conference nine, they are doped by many baseball followers as this year’s bunting winners. The visitors have practically the same lineup that made them runners-up for last year’s flag, and that toured the Orient last summer. They may be ex pected to play some real baseball. They are well fixed as to a battery, with Harper, Setzer and Leonard going good on the mound and with Spike Maloney receiving in rare form. Coach Bohler is uncertain as to who will start in either game today but no men having 11 o’clocks will be allowed to cut their classes, according to the coach. The coach stated that any of the pitchers was liable to be called on to work in the games, with the possi bility that one of the infielders may be used. In Saturday’s game on Cemetery Ridge the Washington State Cougars trampled the Varsity under a fusilade of 15 hits and walked off easily with the long end of a 10-0 score. Heavy hitting by the visitors coupled with numerous Varsity errors was respon sible for the large score. Skadan, working for the visitors, held the Lemon Yellow to three lone bingles, whiffed eight and issued one walk. Rollo Gray, twirling for the Varsity, pitched tight ball up to the ninth inning when a fusillade of Cou gar hits netted five runs. Gray struck out eight and granted but two free trips to first. Oregon got off to a bad start in the first frame when one lone safety, num erous errors and loose fielders netted the Staters four runs. The Varsity was held safe throughout the contest and due to their inability to hit Ska dan ’s offerings, endangered the Cougar lead nt no time. Fundamentals of Business Taught in Commerce Courses “The thing that we want to convey to the new student registering in the University is the difference between vocational and professional training in business,” said Dean Robbins of the school of business administration in an interview yesterday. “Oregon’s school of commerce offers professional train ing in business,” he continued. But there is a real distinction between the two aims of business training. The aim of this school, according to Dean Robbins, is to get away from the technical training offered by other schools which fit a student for such positions as office clerks, stenograph ers, file clerks, typists, and the like. The school of business administration of the University of Oregon offers train ing in fundamental principles of busi ness. not the technical courses, which do not include the basis of business organization. “The aim of this department is to reach and outline the causes of good technique, instead of the technique itself,” emphasized Dean Bobbins. Oregon is the only school on the coast which has its school of business administration on a purely professional basis. Students in this department are from a selected group, and the depart- i ment strives for quality, not numbers' in its organization. Each student re-! ceives the advantage derived from a relatively small school where the stan dard of scholarship is high. The work in the department is divid ed equally into specialized courses, which include principles of business, ’ advanced courses in economies, training in law, and cultural courses which in clude work in history, political science and mathematics. Fully 25 per cent of the work in the department is devoted j to each of these courses. As well as being the only school on the coast to be founded on a profes (Continued on page two.) First Meeting of Guests to Be at Meal in Front of Deady Hall WEEK-END PLANS READY Music Fraternities Will Give Concerts; Special Church Services Arranged Detailed arrangements are now being completed for the entertainment of the mothers of the students of the Uni versity next week-end. Wayne Akers, general chairman of the Mothers’ Day committee, has completed his organiza tion to carry out the proposed program for the week-end. The mothers will gather for tho first time on the campus for the campus luncheon which will be held at 12 o ’clock on Saturday, May 13. If weather permits, the food will be served out of doors ,in front of Deady hall. Service tables and chairs for the vis itors will be placed on the green sward and the University Symphony Orches tra will be on hand to furnish music with the meal. Fred Lorenz, in charge of the luncheon, promises that the best food will be provided, since it is to be sup plied by campus organizations. A booth is to be established on the cam pus today where those not members of living organizations may deposit 50 cents in contribution to the fund which will be used to purchase ice cream and other necessaries. Lorenz Asks Cooperation “We want cooperation between the houses in coming forward with their share of the provisions for the lunch eon,” said Lorenz yesterday. “This week-end is a time of importance and interest to the entire student body, and it is only with the support of everyone that such a luncheon as we are plan ning will take place without a hitch. One way of showing our appreciation for our mothers is to give them the best of attention while they are our guests and it should be especially evi dent in the matter of a luncheon.” Those working with Fred Lorenz in handling the luncheon are: Managers, Marian Swartz, Francis Altstock; ice cream, Horace Westerfield; collections, Vern Bullock, Marian Linn; utensils, Glen Morrow, Maybelle Leavitt; seat ing, John Gavin, Pat Ireland; serving, Margaret Beatie, Elizabeth Kerr. Girls from the various organizations will as sist in the serving. Knights to Assist Saturday morning trains will be met. The Oregon Knights will assist in this as well as in conducting the mothers about the city on a sight-seeing tour during the morning. Roy Veatch will manage the guides for the visitors. The luncheon is expected to last from 12 until about 2 o’clock. After lunch eon until 4 o 'clock there will be a gen eral inspection of campus buildings with the students in charge. Saturday afternoon at 4 o’clock a special reception for mothers will be held at the Woman’s building by the Woman’b league. Ella Rawlings is in charge of plans for this. Tea will be served and some music is promised. Students are expected to entertain their mothers and families privately for the evening meal on Saturday. Ar rangements are to be made with the Anchorage, Ye Campa Shoppe and the Oregana to Berve special dinners for them.

Dunn, and Mrs. Irene Ger linger, member of the board of regents. Further details of'the program for the wepk-end will be announced later. DEAN DYMENT POSTPONES TRIP Dean Colin V. Dyment, who received word last week that a brother in On tario, Canada, had been seriously in jured in an accident, and had expected to leave at once, has received a later message to the effect that his brother is somewhat improved. Dean Dyment will postpone his trip for further news of his brother’s condition. F :-'-■ Student Candidates Announce Platforms For Coming Election “President Lyle Bartholomew Makes Appointment of Board to Handle Balloting and Counting; Time Limit for Filing Petitions Passes with Only One Application in; Ernest Richter to Run for Position as Junior Man on Student Council With elections but a day away comes the announcement of plat forms by candidates for the two major student body offices and for the editorship of The Emerald and of the appointment of an election board. To the acute surprise of those who watch and listen but one nom inating position was filed Saturday, the last day of grace, and that by a fifth candidate in the race for Junior man on the student council in the person of Ernest A. Richter, sophomore in the school of journalism and a night editor on The Emerald. Pledges issued by three A. S. U. 0. presidential aspirants, George King, Chuck Lamb, and John MacGregor; the two candidates for the vice-presidency, Owen Callaway and Dick Sundeleaf; and the three men who seek the editorship, Ep Hoyt, Curley Lawrence, and Ken Youel, follow in full. PRESIDENT John MacGregor, ’23— “Following is my platform: 1. Tho student body president should endeavor always to serve the interests of the entire student body, regardless of any group or fae.tion. 2. I' have faith in the ability of Oregon students to solve their own problems, and through self-govern ment alone can the ideals of democ racy be put into practice on the campus. 3. The Greater Oregon committee should include every student in the University. There must be harmony and close cooperation among all stu dent body committees. 4. Traditions that are consistent with Oregon’s progress must be care fully guarded. This should include, by all means, the maintenance of the Oregon distinctly democratic ‘hello’.” Chuck Lamb, '23— “If elected to the office of presi dent of the student body, I pledge myself to fully and completely carry out each provision of this platform: 1. A liberal interpretation of tho 2. The continuance of all worth constitution. while traditions. 3. A thorough investigation of campus opinion on all issues of im portance. 4. Unification of the campus through a representative and demo cratic administration. 5. The installation of student gov ernment. 6. A sound business administration. 7. The placing of the interests of the University above any narrow personal issues. 8. A vigorous campaign that Ore gon may receive her share of the high school athletes.” George King, '23— “My platform is as follows: Constructive measures—The for mation of a Campus Congress or stu dent opinion group as a tangible step toward student government, each group and separate interest to select its representatives according to their numbers. They will convene as oc casion demands, and as organized, will be able to correctly interpret campus opinions as to matters in hand. At present there is no way of ascertaining campus opinions ex cept by a long-drawn-out canvass of living groups, interfraternity coun cils, the Emerald, committee opinion, personal canvass, and so forth. I do not think the student body realizes the difficulties and responsibilities connected with student government. I favor the graduate manager’s new system of handling student man agers. The minor sports and intra mural sports should be on a firmer basis. General policy—Tightness of or ganization with fine adjustment of authority and direct fixation of re sponsibility to accomplish A. 8. U. O. business with dispatch and fairness to all. I favor the regulation and enforcement of old Oregon ruleB and traditions by time-approved methods and with increased vigoro.” VICE PRESIDENT Dick Sundeleaf, ’22— "If entrusted by the associated students with the office of vice-pres ident of the student body, I will en deavor to discharge the duties per taining to my office in a business like and unprejudiced manner. I consider my pledge as a contract to cooperate fully with the students for a mightier Oregon.” Owen Callaway, '23— “I stand for a progressive policy which will cause the continued growth of the University, and which will provide for changes in methods as conditions warrant them. I favor the new amendment which provides for a centralization of the various activities committees. If elected, I will cooperate with the president in every phase of student life, and en deavor to secure careful committee administration, centralization of all committee activity, careful use of funds, and at the same time do my best to carry on Oregon spirit and traditions in a way which will bo to the best interests of the individual students and the University as a whole.” EDITOR Ken Youel— “If elected to the editorship of the Oregon Daily Emerald I Bhnll main tain an editorial and news policy which shall at all times be firm and consistent with the best interests of the student body and of the Univer sity. My decisions will bo based upon a careful study of representa tive facts and having weighed the evidence on both sides, I shall en deavor to bo fair and impartial in the execution of the policy decided upon.” Curly Lawrence— “If elected my policy will be: 1. To cover the campus news thor oughly and present it in a fair and creditable journalistic manner. 2. To take a vigorous and clearly defined stand on campus affairs, based on thorough, sincere, and con scientious news-gathering. 3. To make the Emerald an un prejudiced medium of student activi ties and opinion. 4. To create an expansive policy designed to meet the increasingly di versified needs of a growing cultural institution.” Ep Hoyt— “Tf elected editor of the Oregon Daily Emerald I will endeavor to the utmost of my ability, bnsed on over two years’ experience in the various student publications, to carry out the following platform: 1. To make the Emerald in its news columns and in its editorials the mouthpiece of student opinion and the reflector of campus sentiment. 2. To give publicity and space to all collegiate activities in equal amounts as they are of interest and importance to the student body, and to give the news while it is news. 2. To pursue a sound and construc tive policy on all matters pertaining to the University that will make for a mightier Oregon, and to lend the correspondence columns of the Em erald impartially to the expression of student sentiment. 4. To uphold all the better and I worth while traditions of this Uni versity, but refuse to follow blindly any traditions, movements or senti ments which are not backed by the student body regardless of outside influences which might be brought to bear, and endeavor to execute the will of the student body in all de I partments of the Emerald without j fear or favor. T favor the proposed | amendments.” SECRETARY Margaret Jackson— Bole candidate for the secretary- ! ship, has prepared no platform. Election Board Announced Norton Winnard, retiring viee-presi- j dent, has been appointed general chair man of the election board, according to announcement made by Student Presi dent Lyle Bartholomew. Twenty-four students have been chosen to work un der Winnard in the usual capacities of clerks, inspectors and checkers. Villard (Continued on page two.) CtMCIIS ASSEMBLY WILL BE FEATURED THURSDAY EVENING Letters Will Be Presented to Men’s and Women’s Basketball Teams AFFAIR TO BEGIN AT 8:00 Men’s Glee Club to Give Con cert; Jensen and Wegner Get Awards A double program of caroling by ths Men 8 Glee club and the presentation of this year’s awards, which were not ready to be presented at the regular show in tho Woman’s building early in April, will bo staged on the steps of McClure hall Thursday evening begin ning at 8 o ’clock.

The first concert was given by Mu Phi Epsilon, woman’s musical fraternity, about two weeks ago.
