Runners Shine
While the Aggie/ tricksters got
away with the long end of a 71-60
score in the dual meet staged at Cor
vallis Saturday afternoon, the day was
featured by Oregon’s spilling the dope
on the cinder path. It started at the
beginning when both Larson and Ober
teuffer crossed the tape ahead of Mau
rice Snook of O. A. C. in the 100-vard
dash. Oregon won eight first places
to the Aggies’ seven, but was weak in
second-place winners. “Obie” again
led Snook to the finish in the 220-yard
dash, and it was not until six events
had been run off that the Ags were
able to tie Oregon’s lead at 36 points.
The mile relay team, composed of
Sundeleaf, Eosebraugli, Wyatt and
Eisley, surprised track followers by
taking that event from the Aggies, do
ing the course in 3 minutes 20.3 sec
onds. Coach Hayward figured that O.
A. C. had it almost cinched before tho
meet.
Time Fast, Coaches Agree
While no records were broken, both
Coaches Bohler and Hayward agreed
that the time was excellent consider
ing that the Aggies have a dirt track.
The weather was better than any so
far this season for a meet, not a cloud
appearing to mar the day.
Five Oregon men won their letters
during the afternoon. “Obie” came
first when he took the 220-yard dash.
Guy Koepp took the lead from George
•Graves near the finish of the two-mile
race, crossing the tape three yards in
advance. Ralph Spearow won easily in
the pole vault and broad jump, which
also entitles him to membership in the
"Order of the O.” Risley and Rose
braugh were the last, making up half
-of the victorious mile relay team.
Both Koepp and Oberteuffer are
juniors and have worked hard for three
years for their laurels. Spearow is a
sophomore, and a field eventer of high
caliber, and all things being equal,
should win honors for Oregon for the
next two years. He tied Draper of
•O. A. C. for high-point man, with 13.
The two aggregations were pretty
well balanced throughout. Dick Sun
deleaf won the 440-yard dash, coming
in ahead of Stone for O. A. C. Strachan
of Oregon took the shot put by heaving
it 43 feet 8.5 inches. Honors for' the
shot and discus were split even when
Taylor of O. A. C. took first in the
discus. The Aggies won both hurdle
events.
It is a coincidence that the score, 71
-to 60, is identically the same as that
by which O. A. C. won in 1921.
Four thousand spectators were pres
ent to see the contest, and when the
long lost Iron Woman made her sud
den appearance on the field in the
middle of the performance, the crowd
went wild. It was reported to have
been found in a Portland basement,
where some University of Washington
students had it tucked away.

TWO GIRL STUDENTS HELD
UP AND ROBBED SUNDAY
Highwaymen Stop Car and Demand
Cash from Occupants; $20
Taken by Bandits
Two University students were held
up and robbed of $20 when a ear driven
by Miss Maurine Elrod was stopped
just outside of Corvallis Sunday even
ing by two men who demanded all the
cash in the possession of Miss Elrod
and her companion, Miss Mary Gill.
The girls were on their way from their
homes in Portland to Eugene, and al
though the highway was crowded with
automobiles going in both directions,
no cars appeared during the hold-up
and the girls were forced to stop at
the flash of a lantern from the side
of the road and to turn over the money
at the point- of a revolver held by one
of the men. Owing to the darkness,
the faces of the men were not distin
guishable but Miss Gill believes that
one of them was a negro. No further
hold-ups have been reported from the
same source and after slamming the
door of Miss Elrod’s car the men van
ished. They were not in an automobile
and the girls did not delay to have
them hunted for.
Both Miss Elrod and Miss Gill are
seniors in the University, the former
being a member of Alpha Phi and the
latter of Kappa Alpha Theta frater
nity.
JOHN BARRETT TO SPEAK
SOUTH AMERICAN TOPIC WILL BE
DISCUSSED ON CAMPUS
Former Portland Newspaperman, Later
Diplomat, Now Leading Authority
on Republics in South
John Barrett, former director gen
eral of the Pan-American Union, and
a representative of the United States
in three foreign countries and at var
ious internationa conferences, will ar
rive in Eugene tomorrow to speak to
the students and faculty members of
the University in Villard hall at 8
o ’clock.
Although no definite topic has be>en
announced, Mr. Barrett will undoubt
edly speak upon some phase of the
South American relations of the United
States. Mr. Barrett has recently been
appointed government counsellor in in
ternational affairs, and is thus an im
portant factor in the international ac
tivities of the United States. During
the recent disarmament conference he
kept all the Latin-American countries,
none of which were officially repre
sented, in close touch with its pro
ceedings.
Mr. Barrett is a former resident of
Oregon. He was a reporter on the
Oregonian prior to his appointment as
minister to Siam in 1894. He is a
graduate of Dartmouth college, and is
making the trip west largely to receive
the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws
from the University of Southern Cali
fornia.
BOATHOUSE TO BE OPENED
Two Unirerstyt Students Will Have
Canoes Ready for Week-end
C. G. Smith and D. T. Bayly, two
students of the University, will oper
ate a boathouse and a swimming pool
at the Anchorage after June 1. Nine
canoes have already been procured and
four more will be available soon.
These canoes may be obtained for use
during the Junior Week-end festivities.
The swimming pool, according to the
boys, will be operated in such a man
ner as to be above criticism. The tank I
of the pool measures 40 by 70 feet and
its deepest place will be seven feet.
For those who use the pool swimming
lessons will be given free.
Canoes which will be rented from the
boat house are of the wooden type and
are said to be very safe.
Second Orchestra “Pop”Concert
Tonight; New Admission Method
The second of the series oi| Univer
sity Symphony Orchestra “Pop” con
certs will be given tonight in Villard
hall beginning promptly at 8 o’clock.
The method of payment of admis
sion to be employed at the concert will
be an entirely new departure so far
as the campus is concerned. It is mod
eled to some extent after a plan used1
by one or two moving picture houses
in the state. And, as Dean John J.
Landsbury, of the University school of
music, expressed it, “will serve as a
test of the appreciation of the orches
tra on its home campus.”
Townspeople and faculty members
will pay as usual the 25-cent admis
sion at the door. Adi students will be
admitted upon presentation of their
student body tickets. Upstairs at one
side of the entrance to the assembly
hall there will be placed a box for col-;
lections. It is hoped by the orchestra
management that some time, either
upon entering or leaving, all students
who can afford it will drop in the
regular admission of 25 cents.
“We feel that the class of students
who would honestly enjoy such a pro
gram as we are presenting,” said Bex
Underwood, director of the orchestra,
“will not take advantage of such a
plan, and we hope also that such a
plan will enable students to come who
are broke for a few days and are wait
ing for that money from home, or for
pay day. If this series of concerts
is continued, such Btudents as feel able
may reimburse us at the next concert.
We are forced to charge for our pro
grams, for an orchestra, with all of
its equipment and its musical library,
is an expensive project to maintain,
but well worth it, and we hope to bring
home to our own students opportuni
ties to hear good music without throw

SNAPPY PROGRAM
BEING PRINTED EOR
JUNIOR WEEK-END
Attractive Catalogue Will Be
Distributed on Thursday;
Houses First
VARIOUS EVENTS LISTED
Two-day Celebration Covered
Fully; Names of Floats
in Fete Given
Programs for the Junior Week-end
festivities are now being printed, and
will be ready for distribution Thurs
day evening. The program is a novel
affair of 28 pages, and covers every
event of the week-end in good shape.
All houses are urged to procure copies
for their guests as soon as possible,
as only 2000 have been printed, and the
supply is likely to run short before the
week-end is over.
A good looking cover, the cut for
which was drawn by Beatrice Morrow,
gives the program a snappy appearance.
The Junior Week-end events are listed
first, and then appear individually
throughout the book in the order in
which they occur. The names of all
floats for the canoe fete are also in
cluded and, judging from them, some
unique and interesting entries are to
come down the race Friday night.
Programs to Be Sold
The problem of getting advertise
ments for the programs has been an
especially difficult one this year,
owing to business conditions, but
enough have been secured to make the
publication of them financially pos
sible. Morgan Staton, chairman of the
committee, and Lyle Janz will handle
the sale and the programs will first
be distributed at the various living or
ganizations, then sold at the baseball
games, track meets, and other events.
They will sell for 15 cents a copy.
The committee on programs is as
follows: Morgan Staton, chairman;
Mabel Gilham, Marjorie Flegal, and
Herbert Larson.
Program Is Announced
The program which has been ar
ranged for the week-end is as follows:
FRIDAY
8:30—Campus day.
12:00—Campus luncheon.
1:00—Tug-o-war.
1:30—Burning of caps.

FR0SH LOSE SECOND
GAME TO ROOKS, 8-1
Errors Costly; Rook Pitcher Strikes
Out 12; Next Contest to Be at
Corvallis This Week-end
The frosh dropped the second game
with the O. A. C. rooks Saturday
morning by an 8 to 1 score. The rooks
hit a great deal better than the day
before, but the frosh had an off day,
making a total of 11 errors, every one
of which was costly. The rook pitcher
also handled the frosh with ease, strik
ing out 12 during the game.
Skinner, who pitched for the frosh,
had the game well in hand, and but
for the costly and many errors of his
team-mates, would have won the game.
The game was played at 10 o’clock in
the morning in order to allow the rooks
to get back to Corvallis in time for
the Varsity track meet in the after
noon.
Both the games played last week-end
were lost to the rooks, and the best
the frosh can do is to break even, in j
which case they will have to win both ,
the return games, which are to be
played at Corvallis this week-end.

SENIOR PICNIC POSTPONED
The annual picnic for the “wearers:'
of the sombrero” has been indefinitely
postponed on account of the many
other events scheduled for this week- |
end. However, the committee is still ,
at work, and will secure a date for it
some time before the end of school.
That there will be a picnic is assured.
Plans are also under way for another
senior lottery dance.
Serious Spirit of Work Most
Notable Thing Here, Opinion
Of Charles Alexander, Writer
By CHARLES ALEXANDER
Editor Albany Sunday Democrat
It's one thing to visit the University
of Oregon and escape alive the swarms
of lively young men and women and
hospitable professors,—to escape these
by virtue fo the courtesy extended a
stranger who comes under the truce of
the flag of ignorance,—but it is quite
another article if one happens to be
represented as a newspaper man and
thereafter happens to fall into the
clutches of Mr. Turnbull. For every-1
one with separate fingers looks like
copy to Mr. Turnbull; and, besides, it
really is flattering to be told to take
a typewriter and interview yourself—
and make it zippy, as the sheet goes to
bath at 6 o’clock. “This isn’t any
country newspaper you’re interviewing;
yourself for,” is what Mr. Turnbull’s!
professional manner said, Mr. Youel
backing him up in a pleasantly grim
manner.
That is right. The Oregon Emerald'
is something again. That students so,
love study as to do it in professional
fashion, day after day, in that particu
lar sort of grind termed newspaper
work, is the most remarkable achieve
ment, to my mind, that the educational
system has to its credit. For in the
schools I attended, no one, not even
the instructor, liked to work. And
here in this room around me, as I
write, are six or seven young people
mercilessly beating typewriters; across
the walkway is the low growl of the
Mergantlmler and the click of its leap
ing mats. Every bit of this in the
name of education. All I can say is
that Dean Allen must use a peculiarly
potent brand of sugar to gloss over the
bitter pill.
The news editor suggests my impres
sions of the University. I received no
permanently disabling impressions, hav
ing collided with nothing harder than
Prof. Thacher’s theory of impression
istic literature. But there is an im
pression. A quiet moment brings it
forth in the mind. My strongest im
pression is not of any of the several
iletails which have struck me—the
short story classes, the school of jour
nalism, those being the departments
that especially drew me—but rather of
the overtone of seriousness which most
students seem to respond to, to tako
part in, to help swell. Standing on the
steps of tho library, watching the quiet
eddies of young people coming and go
ing, groups appearing among tho trees,
a set of six being clipped from view
by a greystone corner—here one who
is a stranger to the inspiration of all
of this unity of upward struggle seoms
to feel the spirit of it beating in waves
over the heads of the vital people who
give it birth.
Abroad in the state an impression
of the frivolity of university life gets
first hearing among the tonguey type
of people. Stunts make delicious news
stories. No ono tolls the public, in so
many words, of tho greatest thing here
—the spirit of do, tho spirit of grow,
the spirit of serious greatness. In
stead, we hear somewhat of details of
campus and hall activities. And in
towns like Albany the main contact
wo have with tho college or university
student is at an occasional football
game, when mob ferocity quivers men’s
lips, and hysteria bursts through the
womanliness of women. Thus we are—
and I know from personal experience,
as one of that largo class which never
has attended a higher school—unfor
tunately are apt to look upon the stu
dent as a fierce young being who
doesn’t know whence ho camo, has no
idea where he’s at, and cares not a
whit whither he is bound.
This is not so. My deepest impres
sion is a feeling well-nigh nebulous,
well-nigh escaping description. Hero
with the purr of the press in my ears,
I know it for what it is. The greatest
thing about the University of Oregon
is not its men and women, instructors
and students. It is its indefinable,
almost unnamoable morale. The senso
of this, as it comes to me, a strangor,
is like food for the mind.
OREGON CLUB WINS SWIM
KAPPA THETA CHI SECOND WITH
14 POINTS TO 24
Kappa Sigs Place Third; Interclass

VETERANS WILL CELEBRATE
MEMBERS OF UNIVERSITY UNIT
PLAN PICNIC MAY 21
Ambulance Corps Which Served with
91st Division In World War to
Hold Reunion Sunday
This year’s annual reunion of the
members of the University of Oregon
Ambulance corps, which served in the
world war and was decorated for brav
ery by the French government, will be
an all-day picnic at Antler’s lodge,
Blue River, on next Sunday. Between
40 and 50 men who belonged to the
unit, which was composed almost en
tirely of University of Oregon men,
are oxpected to attend, according to
Hally Berry, secretary of the organ
ization of veterans of the unit which is
giving the picnic.
This is the first all-day reunion of
the corps, which saw service in 8t.
Mihiel, Meuso, Argonne nad Lys-Ypres.
An organization with a president and
secretary has kept the unit together
for the paHt three years largely for tho
purpose of holding an annual reunion.
Charles Morgenson of Eugene is presi
dent and Hally Berry of the University
is secretary.
Tho other two gatherings were ban
quets and it is thought that an all-day
picnic will give the members a better
opportunity to got together than they
have had heretofore.
Tho .'iOlst Ambulance corps, as the
unit was officially known, was organ
ized in Eugene in June, 1917, and left
for Camp Lewis September 0 where it

D1HEK-END
Lunch Saturday Served Under
Conifers as Vernal Sun
Beautifies Grounds
OVER 200 VISITORS HERE
Day for Maternal Reverence
Appropriately Observed
at University
With fair weather gracing the day
as a celestial blessing for the occasion,
and with mothers coming from all
parts of the stato to take part in the
ceremonies held in their honor, the
University’s annual commemoration of
Mothers’ Day was pronounced by the
directors of the program to be success
ful beyond the greatest anticipation.
More than 200 mothers came to Eugene
to be with their sons and daughters
during tho week-end and it is thought
that they went away with an alto
gether satisfied impression of the Uni
versity and tho Oregon spirit. Enter
tainment was first in tho minds of
those that wero “cliargo d’affaires.”
Consequently one social event followed
directly upon the heels of another.
Tho campus lunchoon at noon on
Saturday was featured by a supply of
good food, sufficient for twice the
number that attended. The tables
could hardly hold the ample supply that
camo forward at the call of the
luncheon committee. A pretty sight
was presented when all the girls in
their summery costumes gathered with
their mothers on tho campus green and
spread themselves about in happy
groups under the cooling shade of the
evergreens. To enhance the spring
time effect, a group selected from the
University orchestra favored the lunch
ers with a light musical program. Fred
Lorenz, chairman of the luncheon com
mittee, pronounced the luncheon one of
tho most satisfactory and successful
that has ever been held on the Uni
versity grounds.
Woman’s League Entertains
A tea, at which there was the usual
scarcity of gentlemen, was given under
the auspices of the Woman’s league
Saturday afternoon in honor of visiting
mothers. A delightful musical program
was rendered by a group selected from
the fuculty and students. During the
afternoon the mothers were afforded
tho opportunity of visiting the differ
ent parts of tho Woman’s Memorial
hall.
An informal gathering at Hendricks
hall Saturday evening was the occasion
for another musical program. The
visitors were given the opportunity of
meeting one unother und getting ac
quainted with members of the faculty.
Another pleasing feature on the pro
gram was a dance number, minuet, ren
dered by Dorothy Millor and Helen
Hoofer.
Vesper Services Sunday
Sunday the annual University Moth
ers ’ Day vesper services were held at
tho Methodist Episcopal church. One .
>f tho best crowds that has been in
attendance this term enjoyed the beau
tiful musical program which was ren
dered by the University choir. Short
talks were heard on behalf of the stu
lonts, the faculty and the mothers.
PLEDGING ANNOUNCED

Printers of Oregana Declare
Annual Is Better Every Year
Classes may come, and classes may
go, but the Oregana is one of those
things that goes on forever. The print
ers at Koke and Taffany’s, where the
book was printed this year, admit the
truth of this statement, and they ought
to know, because most of the men con
cerned in the mechanical work on the
Oregon year book have seen a good
many other Oreganas go through the
various stages from typewritten copy
to bound volumes.
Joseph H. Koke, president and man
ager of the printing firm that has seen
the Oregon yearbook change from its
beginning as “The Webfoot," more
than 20 years ago, when there were
only a few hundred copie sprinted, to
the 1922 Oregana with a printing of
1200 copies, declared that the student
work on the year-book was fine. He
added with a smile, “Wo like the ed
itor.” All of the men who have had
anything to do with printing the Ore
gaua have had a word of praise for
Inez King, editor of this year’s book.
J. R. Blakely, foreman of the print
shop, who is known as “Blake" to
students and printers who have worked
about the shop, has had something to
do with the printing of the last ten
Oreganas. He has done almost every
sort of work on the book since he be
gan, in 1912. His comment, when he
was asked what he thought of this
year’s Oregana, was: “In printing, as
in everything else, we learn more all
the time and get bettor all the time.”
The last two years, especially, Mr.
Blakely said, copy has como in earlier
than usual, and the dummy furnished
the printers has been exceptionally
good.
O. W. Arnan, binder, has seen the
last eight Oreganas grow to the fin
ished state. Except the last two years,
