Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXTTT. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1922 NUMBER 128 A. S. U. O. TO ELECT TOD A Y SIX AMENDMENTS TO BE ACTED UPON Two-thirds of Votes Cast Needed to Put Proposed Measures on Books FEE FOR CONCERTS ASKED Alteration of Distribution of Emerald Funds Will Be Considered at Polls Along with the general election of student body officers for the coming year, six amendments to the student body constitution and by-laws will come before the student body for considera tion today. Each of the amendments was presented at the student body nom inating assembly held in Yillard hall last Thursday. If two-thirds of the "ballots cast are in favor of the amend ments, they will be passed, provided that at least 300 ballots are cast. The full text of the proposed amendments was.printed in the Emerald of Friday, "May 5. The music activities committee of the associated students endorses an ■amendment which is considered of the greatest importance since it provides for an additional fee to be added to the general student body fee at the begin -ning of the year. The object of the additional fee is to accumulate a fund -which will be put at the disposal of the music activities committee for the purpose of bringing artists to the campus who may be heard at the lowest possible cost to the students. Program Outlined “We propose,” said John Anderson, chairman of the music committee, “to "bring to the campus for concerts, under student body management, artists of -the class of Matzenauer, Theo Karle, ^Kathleen Parlow, and Althouse. The fund raised by the proposed tax will amount to about $3000 for the year and should cover necessary expenses. It is the idea to bring two artists to the campus each term for concerts, to which the student ticket would admit, thus making the cost of each concert about 25c.” • Another amendment would give add ed duties to the vice-president of the student body. At present he serves as president in the absence or death of the president and is a member of the stu dent and executive councils. The pro posal is to make him general chairman of all the student activities committees, as well as vice-chairman of each com mittee. It is thought that the office of the vice-president will be made more desirable because of the added func tions attached to the position. Traditions Committee Proposed A new traditions committee would be created by those proposing to insert a section 8 in Article 4 of the constitu tion. Because of the position of im portance which traditions have been taking during the last few years, it has been thought necessary to establish some authority to be the official guar dians of all Oregon traditions. The membership as proposed is comprised (Continued on page fonr) Scientific Background Essential To Engineer, Says Dr. Caswell “The opportunities for first class en gineers were never better than they are today,” said Dr. A. E. Caswell, of the University department of pre-engineer ing. “Engineering is coming to the front, is now recognized as one of the learned professions, and is demanding long and careful preparation on the part of those who intend to become leaders in that field. “It is sometimes said that the pro fession is overcrowded. It is true that there are many engineers with narrow and inadequate preparation. These men always find it hard to get one of the good positions. On the other hand ; the world is ready to stand aside to ; allow anyone to pass who knows where i he is going. “The engineer is essentially a crea tor. As such he needs a well-trained | mind, a large body of suitable knowl- ' edge, and a rational imaginative fac- i nltv. Above all. the engineer must be 1 AMENDMENTS TO BE VOTED ON TODAY By music committee, adding 50 cents to term fee to pay for artist recitals.

VERNE BLUE WINS AWARE “MAN WITH THE DEVIL’S EARS’ GETS $30 PRIZE “Cold Fried Potatoes” by Nancy Wilson Is Second; Lillian Auld Receives Mention Verne Blue has been awarded the first prize of $30 in the Edison Mar shall short story writing contest. The title of his story is “The Man with the Devil’s Ears.” Blue, whose home is is Ashland, is a senior in the history de partment. Second prize, $10, was awarded to Nancy Wilson, of Olympia, Washing ton, whose story was entitled “Cold Pried Potatoes.” Miss Wilson is a sophomore in the school of journalism, Lillian Auld, of Eugene, a senior in rhetoric, received honorable mention, which is the same as third place, for her story, “Cold Facts.” The prize for third place is an autographed copy of Edison Marshall’s latest novel. Miss Auld recently had a story accept ed by Leslie’s. The relative merits of the first two mentioned stories were so close, ac cording to W. F. G. Thacher, who con ducted the contest, that a fourth judge had to be called to read the two stories before a decision could be made. The judges were Wilkie N. Collins, Mrs. Norma Solve, both faculty members in the University, and Mr. Charles Alex ander, editor of the Albany Sunday Democrat. Others who participated in the con test were : Catherine Watson, Francis Quisenberry, Genevieve Jewell, Eliza beth Griggs, Amy Turner, Helen Nor cross, Viola Powell, Mary Lou Burton, Kay Bald, Marian Crary, Harold Evans, Wanna McKinney, Vira Hendersen, Donald McDonald, Jane Houston, Mar garet Carter, Jessie Thompson, Dorothy Dickey, Claire Keeney and Nettie roole. This is the sixth year that the Edison Marshall short story contest has been held. Last year first prize was won by Ernest J. Haycox and second prize by Irene Stewart. The sum of $30 was decided upon as the amount of the first prize by Mr, Marshall because it was the sum he received for the first story he ever sold. He sold this story while a freshman at the University. His short story, “The Heart of Little Shakira,” was awarded the first prize of $500 in the O. Henry memorial short story contest for 1921 Professor Thacher wishes that all of the contestants would come as soon as possible to his office for their manu scripts.

All the great inventions ivere ideas before they became concrete tacts. “The exact preparation which aa en gineer needs depends to a certain ex :ent upon the branch of engineering le intends to follow. At present the :endency in the better schools of en gineering is away from specialization ind more toward general engineering. “On graduation the student takes he first opportunity that offers itself, tnd takes advantage of every opening. “Mathematics and physics should be :he foundation for the successful en gineer to build upon. Chemistry and jeology and often bacteriolov are es :ential to a scientific preparation for his field. “Here at Oregon we, in the pre-en rineering course, are right in line with he practice of the best schools and we ■xpect our students to make their narks in the profession.” “DOMBEY AND SON” WILE BE PRODUCED AT COMMENCEMENT Dickens’ Play as Dramatized by Reddie Will Be Last of College Year ENTIRE COMPANY TO PLAY Work on Comedy Begun; Piece Probably to Be Staged at Eugene Theater “Dombey and Son” by Dickens, which has been dramatized by Fergus Reddie, has been chosen for the com mencement play this year, and it will likely be the only other play of the college year as the time is too short to prepare a May play and also a com mencement play, although it has been the custom of the dramatics depart ment to produce one play a month. “Dombey and Son” was produced in the spring of 1918 on the campus and was very successful at that time, as most of the unusual characters which Dickens always brings into his stories are seen in the play and the conversa tion is bright and humorous. The play is a true Victorian type and although it is indeed a comedy, it is filled with many bits of pathos. The cast will include every member of the dramatics companies and Fergus Red die, who usually plays in the com- j mencement. production. One or two parts will be taken from the lower di- I vision classes. Settings to Be Elaborate Exceptional work will be placed on the settings in this production. As only two complete sets will be needed, it is the plan of the department to make these better than anything which has been dpne here before. It has not been fully decided yet as to where the pro duction will be given. The commence ment play is usually produced in Vil lard hall, but it is hoped by those in charge that it will be possible for the department to produce this play in the Eugene theater. Entire Oast Not Chosen Work has already begun on the play and although the cast is not yet entire ly selected, the parts which have been decided upon are as follows: Paul Dombey .Edwin Keech Florence Dombey.Lorna Coolidge Mrs. Pipchin and Mrs. Mae Stinger .Margaret Nelson Susan Nipper.Hildegarde Repinen Sol Gills.Darrell Larsen Walter Gay.Claire Keeney Brozley .-.Wade Kerr Captain Cuttle.Fergus Reddie Major Joseph Bagstock.Vera Fudge The Native.-.John Ellestad Perkins .Joe Clark Edith Granger.Irene Stewart Mrs. Skewton.Mabel Gilham Mr. Carker.Arthur Johnson Mr. Toots.Norvell Thompson Jack Bunsby.Charles Fish Rob .Delbert Faust FROSH NINE BREAKS EVEN IN TILTS WITH COLUMBIA Yearlings Drop First Contest 8 to 7; Win Second 5 to 2; Batters Slump In Series The frosh broke even in their series ; ■with Columbia university in Portland! Friday and Saturday be dropping the first game by an 8 to 7 score, and tak ing the second 5 to 2. The games were rather slow and no sensational plays ffatured on either side. 8kinner was on the mound for the yearlings in the first contest, which he j lost on account of the poor support of his team-mates. The second contest, with Branaman on the mound, proved more profitable for the frosh, as they had recovered from the effects of the trip, and gave Branaman good support. The yearlings have been very suc cessful in the batting line so far. but in these two games in Portland were noticeably off in this department of the game. These games make the series a tie, as the two teams also broke even in the two games played here. Columbia has the edge as far as scores are concerned, as in one of the games which they won j they ran up 23 counters. WASHINGTON TAKES FREE-HiniNG TILT FROM OREGON 11-7 Both Sides Bat Hard, While Defense of Each Is Often Porous VISITING INFIELD IS TIGHT Bakke at Third Is Stone Wall; Oregon Support Fails at Critical Points In the first of the two-game series, postponed from Monday on account of rain, the University of Washington’s baseball team walloped the Oregon var sity, 18 to 7. It was a hard-hitting, loose-fielding affair, which the invad ers finally stowed away safely in their bat bags with nine runs in the ninth. The invaders made their 17 hits count for 18 runs. Oregon hit well in streaks but the total of Lemon Yellow bingles for the nine innings was eight. The two games were to have been played yesterday, one at 11 o’clock and one at 4, but the contest scheduled for yesterday morning will be played this afternoon at 4 o ’clock, winding up the series. Score Tied in Fifth Leonard started for the Huskies but was replaced by Setzer in the firth. The Washington heavers kept the Oregon hits well scattered except in the fifth inning when the Varsity climbed on Leonard’s slants for three tallies, tying the score at seven all, after which the Varsity was unable to register a run. The Sun Dodgers broke the tie in the sixth when hits and errors netted them two counters. Bill Sorsby, Varsity right fielder, started the Oregon attack with a homer in the second inning, but unfortunately there was no one on, as Sorsby was the first man up. Welts of Washington slapped one of Wright’s offerings for a four-sack drive in the final frame, scoring two men ahead of him. Wright Smacks ’Em Hard Dug Wright had a good day with the stick, securing two triples in four times at the plate. In the last of the fourth, after Moore had tapped out a high fly that went for an infield hit when nobody got under it, and had gone down to third on Terry Johnson’s single, Wright tripled to left, scoring Johnson and Moore. He was caught at the plate on the attempt to stretch it into a homer. Bakke, third saeker for the Wash ington team, not only played a sensa tional game in the field, repeatedly making great throws to first, but hit the ball hard, garnering four safeties in five times up. The entire Washing ton infield played like a machine and several times cut the Oregon batters out of hits. Bring Tickets Today Jack Myers, student baseball man ager, requests that all students bring their student body tickets to the games on the Bidge, and states that in future (Continued on page two.)

D. WHEELWRIGHT PRAISED HIGHLY BY PRES. CAMPBELL rhursday’s Assembly Speaker Is Authority on International Relations, Says Dean “The University students and the townspeople of Eugene will have an ipportunitv to hear one of the builders if America, when William D. Wheel wright of Portland addresses the stu lent assembly on Thursday," said Pres ident P. L. Campbell, when ho an nounced the securing of Mr. Wheel wright as a speaker by the administra tion, yesterday afternoon. “To repeat platitudes,” said Presi lent Campbell, “Mr. Wheelwright is i polished speaker. He not only speaks but he paints, in words. Mr. Wheel wright returned from the Orient about i month ago, and since that time has been greatly in demand on the entire 'oast as a speaker on conditions in the Orient. Mr. Wheelwright has led a eery full life and has had a large ihnre in the building of the Pacific Oriental trnde.” As a serviceable reBumo of Mr. Wheelwright’s life, wo quote from his review in “Who’s Who in America” for the year 1920 1(121: “WillianV Dana Wheelwright, lum berman; born, Valparaiso, Chile, April 16, 1849; son of Isaac W. and Sarah (Dana) Wheelwright; educated, Thin ner academy, Byfiold, Massachusetts; Brown high school, Newburyport, Mass.

POLLS TO BE OPEN IN VILLARD HALL; TIME, EMM 9 TO 3 Three Positions Uncontested; Sophomores Lead with Five in Race CAMPAIGN PROVES QUIET Appeal Is Made to Students Against Electioneering During Voting This is the day! The first flare of the campaign is over, the lengthy fireside discussions of the merits of the various candidates have drawn to a close; Dame Rumor has done hor work, and the choice of the public-spirited students who will servo the student body and guide Ore gon fortunes for the next year lies in the hands of the voting students today. Reviewing the political situation of the past few weeks, now that the smoke has clearod nway, the campaign has been in many ways the quietest in years, as is evidenced by the fact that there a/e three uncontested offices this yoar, namely, secretary, junior man on the executive council, and yell king, whereas last year’s campaign brought forth only one uncontested office, that of Oregana editor. Sophomores Put Up rive The honors this year, ns to the num ber of candidates put in the field, seems to go to the sophomores, with five men in the field, all but one of whom must join the Lame Duck club before the day is over. Three men are out for the presidency this year, against two can didates in 1921 and 1920. A three cornered race for Emerald editor pre vails this year, as laBt, but still the crop is small, for there were four out for the job in 1920. Two women have volunteered for the position of editor of the Oregana, against an uncontested candidate in 1921 and four candidates in 1920. The campaign for this year seems, according to veteran political ob servers on the campus, to be settling down into the regular old-line Oregon style, when officers are chosen “for the ultimate good of the University” and the political soason passes over the campus with scarcely a cloud, leaving all undisturbed by its cyclonic breath. Advance In Politics President Bartholomew of the Asso ciated Students, in a statement to the Emerald yesterday, said: “I trust that practically the entire student body will bear in mind the election today and will vote as early as possible. Today of all days in the student year is the day when student patriotism should rise to the top, and the greatest of care and fairness should be used in the se lection of officers for the coming year.” Speaking of the campaign, President Bartholomew said: “After the first heat of battle, the campaign has, I be lieve, been conducted in a clean and fair manner. I feel that a great ad vance has been made in student poli tics; that honor is pre-eminent, and that a great stride has been made toward the realization of a greater university. The three student presidential candi dates have expressed themselves as heartily agreeing with my sentiments in the matter. And finally I hope that the T.ame Bucks’ organization will not overlook any of the losing candidates for student body offices.” Polls Open from 9 to 3 All technical details are in readiness for the election, when the polls open at 9 o’clock and the first ballot is cast. It is desired by the election board that all students vote as early as is pos sible, in ordor that the student list may be covered. It is estimated that an approximate number of 230 students must vote every hour if the entire Uni versity body is to vote in the required time from 9 to 3. The polls will close at 3 promptly, in order that the count may begin. The last official student ballot was taken off the press last night. The polls proper have been designat ed as the assembly room of Villard hall, and the vicinity of the polls within which electioneering is forbidden by statute is defined as anywhere within the hall. As a matter of fact, the board appeals to the students not to stage electioneering anywhere on the campus.
