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.

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

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

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,

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

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

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

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.

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.

dent, has been appointed general chair

tions.
