UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1922
NUMBER 134
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
REELECTS BENEFIEL
AT PRESENT SALARY
Work of Graduate Manager
During Past Year Said
to Be Excellent
FOOTBALL TO GET $24,000
Standard Letter Adopted for
Yell Leaders; Tennis
Plan Disapproved
The Executive Council of the Uni
versity at its regular meeting last night
unanimously re-elected Jack W. Bene
fiel to the position of graduate man
ager of the Associated Students for the
year 1922-23. Benefiel will be re
tained at his former salary of $2700.
In addition to the election of a gradu
ate manager, the council adopted a
football budget of approximately $24,
000 for the coming year, and sanctioned
the adoption of a standard letter to be
awarded to yell leaders. The change
adopted by the council limits the “O”
with the “Y” in the center, to a size
of 4%x5V2 inches. The matter was
placed in charge of a committee for
further action.
The council disapproved the means
proposed by the committee to finance
the tennis courts, the need for which
was brought before the council by the
Student Council.
Benefiel, who formerly occupied the
position of assistant graduate manager,
was elected a year ago to succeed
Marion McClain when the latter re
signed to take charge of the Co-op.
Benefiel is a graduate of the school of
business administration in the class of
1921, and during his first year as grad
uate manager has taken a prominent
part in Pacific Coast conference work.
He also managed the trip of the Ore
gon team to the Hawaiian Islands dur
ing the last Christmas vacation, at
which time the Oregon team played the
University of Hawaii and the Island
navy team.
The council largely felt that Bene
fiel’s work during the first year has
been excellent, and that his re-election
for the coming year would be a good
investment for the Associated Stu
dents. There was little question of
Benefiel’s election, and the chief ques
tion of discussion was whether or not
the old or new council should elect him.
Once this question had been settled, the
matter of election proceeded rapidly.
PI LAMBDA THETA MEETS
At a special meeting of the Pi Lamb
da Theta, women’s educational frater
nity, held Tuesday at 12:45, in the
Woman’s building, the granting of
charters was discussed for chapters at
Cornell university, Ithaca, N. Y., Uni
versity of Ohio, Columbus, and Wash
ington State college, Pullman. A fa
vorable report was sent in each in
stance by the local corresponding sec
retary, Bita Danford, to the national
corresponding secretary, Leila Gerry,
at Detroit, Mich. There are 11 (hap
ters of Pi Lambda Theta and each
chapter votes on the petitions. The
local chapter was organized last June
and has 26 members.
In the absence of the president, Fe
licia Perkins, who is in the infirmary,
the meeting was called and conducted
by the vice-president, Bertha Hayes.
STUDENTS’ CREDENTIALS
MUST BE SENT IN EARLY
Advisers to Record Student Grades
and Keep Individual Rating
in Departments
Fraternities and sororities are re
quested by Carlton E. Spencer, regis
trar, to advise their Junior Week-end
guests to send in their credentials to
the University as soon as high school
closes. All credentials of entering
students must be in the office two
weeks before the opening of college
next fall at the very latest..
This ruling is made necessary by a
new system in the registrar’s office
whereby a transcript of the new stu
dent’s credit is sent to the major pro
fessor, so that he can advise what
courses should be taken first. Blanks
for the future work of the student are
also supplied, and a copy of the stu
dent’s standing made from the grade
sheet from term to term. The entries
thus made will give the adviser a full
record for his department.
In past years many students have
simply brought their credits with them.
This will occasion delay in registering
this year, and probably mean the pay
ing of a late registration fine, not to
speak of the inconvenience.
Fraternities, too, will find ti to their
best interests to have their rushees in
formed of this new situation. There
will then be no difficulty in waiting
to pledge a man because of delay in
registering him.
THREE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
NOW LIEUTENANTS
Fourth Qualified for Position In U. S.
Organized Reserve; Four Years’
Work Required
Commissions as lieutenants in the
United States organized reserves are
to be granted by the War Department
to the following University students:
Emerald Sloan, Marc Latham and Her
bert Geary. William Hopkins, who will
not receive his commission at the pres
ent time on account of not having
reached the required age of 21, will
receive a letter of qualification and his
commission later.
In speaking of the commissions,
Major R. C. Baird, head of the Uni
versity military department, says:
“These boys will be assigned to a unit
of the organized reserves at their
homes or near there. Each year they
will receive about 15 days of training
and lieutenant’s pay, which is about
$160 per month. In case of war they
will be officers in the U. 8. army and
report to their unit and help organize
it.”
Sloan, Latham and Geary are seniors
in the University and Hopkins is a
sophomore but he has attended the
Shattuck Military Academy of Minne
sota for four' years and therefore quali
fies for his commission.
Emerald Sloan, in addition to his
advanced military work, has taken the
preliminary examination for entering
the regular army as an officer and has
been recommended to take the regular
examination. He will probably take it
this summer.
Commissions in the organized re
serves are granted to students in the
military department at the end of four
years ’ work.
ORDER OF BLADE MEETS
A meeting was held by members of
the Order of the Blade last night and
plans for the perfection of the organ
ization were discussed. Members are
working on the petition which is to
be presented to Scabbard and Blade,
national honorary military fraternity.
It is hoped that thiB will be in shape
within a short time, according to Jim
mie Meek, president. A luncheon will
be held next Wednesday at the An
chorage by members instead of a regu-1
lar meeting.
Diplomatic Training Acquired
By Journalists, Says Barrett
“Journalism today is having an ex
treme appeal because it is practically
profitable and broadening and because
it is proving a stepping stone to diplo
matic service,” said John Barrett,
government counselor and adviser in
international affairs, who was asked
by an Emerald reporter to tell of the
opportunities for advancement for the
college trained journalist. Mr. Barrett,
ex-director-general of the Pan-Ameri
can Union in Washington and formerly
a United States minister, addressed the 1
students last night in Villard hall.
“And it is beginning to be remark
able the number of college trained
men that are found on the metropoli
tan dailies,” he continued. “There is
no doubt in my mind that the univer
sity trained man has a decided advan
tage in the field of journalism, be
cause he has the foundation of knowl
edge upon which to build."
Mr. Barrett declared that the train
ing received on a college paper is per
haps the best experience a young jour
nalist can receive. During Mr. Bar
rett ’s four years in high school he was
on the staff of the paper and in his
fourth year he was managing editor.
At Dartmouth he finished his last year
as editor-in-chief of the daily. In the
time that followed he was in news
paper work in San Francisco and be
came city editor of the Evening Tele
gram in Portland. Later he was as
sociate editor of the Telegram. It was
directly from journalistic work that he
entered the diplomatic service, from
which he was given the position as
director-general of the Pan-American
Union.
Mr. Barrett regards journalism as
the best stepping stone to diplomacy,
not only from his own happy experi
ence but on the testimony of no less
an authority than John Hay, McKin
ley’s great secretary of state. Yester
day afternoon he recalled a story of
McKinley and Hay which illustrated

PEACE OF AMERICAS
TOPIC OF BARRETT
II VIllARO ADDRESS
Countries of Western World
Related as One Family,
Says Speaker
OPPORTUNITIES TO COME
Growth of Prestige of United
States Recounted by
World Citizen
Impressive, dominating, speaking as
a man of authority and a citizen of
the world, Hon. John H. Barrett in his
address to the small audience that
braved the stifling heat of Villard hall
last night, pointed out with fiery elo
quence a period of approaching oppor
tunities for college men and women
in the development of the South Amer
ican continent. America, he pointed
verbally as a foree in the maintenance
of world peace—a world peace which
is threatened by a -great spray of fiery
lava thrown from the volcano of social
unrest in central Asia. Skilfully and
with brilliant phrasing, the former
head of the Pan-American Union, which
works for the peace of 200,000,000 peo
ple, correlated the development of the
western world with the peace of the old
world, saying that the college men and
women of America must play a great
part through leadership.
“The relationship between the Latin
American countries and the United
States is that of brothers and sisters,”
said Mr. Barrett. “All belong to the
same family of democracy.” The tan
gible evidence of the relationship be
tween the countries of the Pan-Ameri
can Union, said Mr. Barrett, is the
Pan-American building in Washington,
D. C. He told how General Joffre,
when visiting this country in the early
days of the world war, gazed on the
council table with its 21 seats—each
seat for a representative of a republic
of the western world—and said that if
such a thing had existed in Europe the
gigantic conflict between the European
nations would not have come to pass.
America’s Prestige Grows
The decadence and growth of Ameri
can prestige from the time in the years
following the Civil war to the signing
of the Armistice were related by Mr.
Barrett, not as an office critic but as
a world traveler and diplomat, a cos
mopolitan who has had an opportunity
to stand aside and see the world pass
by. “America, after the Civil war, was
too busy with her own development to
keep up with the rest of the world,”
he said. “After the Spanish-American
war I saw a marvelous growth in
American prestige. America suddenly
became the hope of entire Asia, of
countless millions of people.” He re
lated the pride he felt in Hongkong,
following the Spanish-American war.
He saw thousands of people crowding
the water front to pay homage to
America through the U. S. S. Olympia
when that battleship visited Asiatic
waters.
South America, Mr. Barrett, who for
merly was minister to Siam, Peru, Ar
gentina, Panama, and Colombia from
the United States, pictured as a land
of wonderful opportunities, a vast fer
tile domain ready to burst into resplen
dent bloom. With an expressive vo
cabulary and a silver-toned voice
which resounded in the emptiness of
the large hall, Mr. Barrett briefly told
of the cultural developments of the
South American people and how their
ideals conformed with the ideals of
Americans. George Washington, he
said, was the precurser of the great
generals of South America who were
led to battle for independence through
his example.
To show that the South American

STUDENT DANCE TONIGHT
Affair to Be Given by Junior Class in
Woman’s Building
Because there will be no classes to
morrow, permission has been granted
for holding a student body dance in
the woman’s building tonight. The
big feature of the evening will be the
music. Bill McBride’s orchestra, com
posed of Bay Graham, Lee Weber, Ted!
Osborn, Prentiss Gross and McBride,
has been engaged. The dance is given
by the junior class.
Shrimp Phillips, who is in charge, has
announced that a surprise is to be i
sprung late in the evening. Although
the dance is not on the Junior Week-'
end program, a number of guests will j
have arrived and the class promises one j
of the best dances of the year. The ad-'
mission will be 75 cents.
I
PROM SATURDAY TO
DEW FORMAL
OF COLLEGE (EAR
Bigger Attendance than Before
Expected at Finale to
Junior Week-end
ALL GUESTS TO REGISTER
Tickets for Entire Program to
Be Obtained from
Registrar
Moonlight, starlight, dim light, an
arbor garden, and a summer scene, to
gether with soft music and cooling
punch, will comprise the grand finale
of the Junior Week-end program when
the stupendous Junior Prom gets under
way Saturday night. The Eugene Ar
mory, which has been the seeno of
proms in years previous, is being put
in preparation by the class of 19113 for
an entertainmont that bids fair to
sweep preppers and students off their
feet. As great a patronage as lias been
seen in previous years is expected to
come forth for the largest formal of
the year. Though there are fewer
guests to come to the campus this
week-end than last year, the student
attendance will probably be greater.
This is the last formal function of
its kind this year, and all the dress
suit hounds and tuxedo models on the
campus are expected to flock with their
ladies in decollette attire to gaze with
jealous eyes upon their fellow dudes
and dames.
Flowers Are Banned
Flowers of any kind are banned, for
there will be enough supplied by the
decoration committee to give the sum
mery touch to the affair. Taxis also
are taboo. The men must walk their
ladies or manage to get them there by
private transportation.
The first note will be sounded by
McBride’s six-piece orchestra—which,
by the way, will be specially groomed
for the occasion—when the clock
strikes 8:30. A solemn promise has
been made by the floor committee that
the grand march will be short. If it
begins to drag as it has in former
years, arrangements have been made to
temporarily choke, gag and hog-tio the
orchestra before any casualties result.
Nelson English, general director of the
prom, offers a suggestion to avoid con
gestion between dances. “If the gen
tlemen will take the pains to seat their
ladies immediately following each num
ber,” he said, “the matter of finding
partners will be much simplified.”
Punch is on the menu for refreshments.
Guests Must Have Tickets
Other plans for tho week-end are
nearing completion. Charles Lamb,
general chairman of the Junior Week
end committee, has his forces organ
ized to start off with a bang Friday
morning.
Campus Bay will begin promptly at
8 o’clock Friday morning and a list
of the places where all University men
are to report for work on the campus
has just been announced. Carl Yonder
Ahe is in charge of the work and every
man on the campus is expected to show
his loyalty by reporting jTtomptly for
duty.
All men whose names begin with A,
B, C, D, E or F, are asked to report at
Hayward field to Lawrence Hull; those1
from G to M, inclusive, at Kincaid!
field, to Karl Vender Ahe, and those j
from N to Z, inclusive, at the Anchor
age where Ilal Simpson will be in
charge. According to custom, a check
will be made on all men who turn out
and the dignified wearers of the som
brero will act as tho police for all
slackers. Campus Day is one of the
oldest of Oregon traditions and marks
the opening of Junior Week-end.
Quests Must Be Registered
“Organizations must take special
heed of the necessity of registering
whatever guests they have in their
care,” said Lamb yesterday. “Each
and every prepper who comes to the
campus for the week-end must be taken
to the registrar’s office in person and
secure for himself a ticket which will
admit him to all events free of charge.
No guest wiil be admitted without
charge to any affair unless he pos
sesses said ticket. The loss will be to
the organization which fails in this, j
Guests may be registered at any time!
during the morning.”
The campus luncheon which is due
to take place Friday noon is to bo in
the men’s gymnasium, according to
present plans. Food is being prepared
for 3000 people. A special charge is
to be made to students at the luncheon
this year to avoid the necessity of or

from Field; Is Carried
from Diamond
By EP HOYT
The University of Oregon won its
first baseball game on the home lot
and the second of tho season yesterday
afternoon by defeating Nig Borleske’s
Whitman tossers, 7-5. “Lofty” Bald
win hurled for the Lemon Yellow and
though he was touched up for 11 bin
gles in tho course of the contest, he
kept tho visitors’ hits well scattered
in the pinches.
The Varsity hit the ball hard and
opportunely, gathering 13 safetios from
tho two Missionary heavers, Sherwood
and Knudsen, Knudsen pitching the
last two thirds of tho eighth after the
Varsity maulers had swung into the
load and got Sherwood in tho hole.
The visiting nine was soverely handi
capped by injuries to their players sus
tained on the trip.
Varsity Takes Lead
Whitman opened hostilities in the
first frame when Walthers, their back
stop, went to first on a fielder’s choice
that retired tho leadoff man, who had
singlod, at second, Walthers scoring a
minute later on Rich’s long two bagger.
In their half of the third the Varsity
went into the lead when hits by Bald
wiu and Ross and Zimmerman’s sacri
fice netted a brace of tallies. Whit
man evenod the score in the fifth after
Matsuno had tripled and scored on
Walthers’ single. In the sixth, with
the score 3-2 against them, the Mis
sionaries took the lead when they
scored their final tallies. Sabin Rich,
Whitman right gardener, the first man
up, cracked one of Baldwin’s slants
for a homer for the first one, while
the visitors secured two more tallies
in this frame on u hit by Ward and
two Oregon boots.
Batting Rally Staged
The Varsity scored again in the sev
enth when Ross went to first on Town
send’s error and Zimmerman singled.
With the score 5-4 against them in
their own half of the eighth, the Var
sity opened with a batting attack that
netted throe runs and the victory.
Geary, Leslie, Ross and Roycroft se
cured singles, while “Lefyt” Baldwin
smashed the apple for a long triple.
Besides pitching a good game of ball,
Baldwin ttmaahed the borschido for a
singlo and a triple in four trips to the
plate Leshs, Oregon's veteran catch
er, garnered two bingles in four at
tempts, while Jimmy Ross, besides
fieiding a clever game, annexed two
safeties and a walk out of five marches
to the rubber. Don Zimmerman played
a good game in the field with four
potential hits grabbed out of tho sun;

Colonel Leader Worries Little
About Topic; Will Just Talk
In an interview yesterday, inter
spersed with ijuaint personalities and!
humorous incidents, Colonel John
Leader told some of the interesting
details of his sojourn in the islands of
Australia and New Zealand which hej
has visited since his last appearance,
on the Oregon campus. The Colonel
rambled on in his characteristic man
ner, saluting and greeting with good
humored chaff and banter the various
faculty members, students, and sten
ographers who passed within hailing
distance and within range of his rest-!
less eyes.
“I still don’t know what my subject
will be for my assembly talk,” he said,
“and I won’t know until I appear on
the platform. And if I did have a
subject I wouldn’t follow it,” he con
tinued with a chuckle. “But I can tell
you something of my experiences and
observations in Australia and New'
Zealand which may be of interest to
the students.
“There is as much difference be
tween the people of New Zealand and
Australia as there was between tho
aristocratic Virginian and the North
Dakotan in 1861,” continued the
Colonel. “New Zealand, unlike Aus
tralia, has a hand-picked population.
This little island possesses tho purest
type of democracy, was the first to
wage war against booze, and the first
to grant suffrage to women. On the
other hand, Australia is under the iron
and tyrannical rule of trade unions
gone mad, and violent sectarianism is
rampant. These two countries are the
best examples today of democracy
gone right and wrong. Any decent
anti-prohibitionist in this country, if
there is any, would change his mind
if he spent one day in Sydney.”
The Maoris, natives of New Zealand,
were declared by the Colonel to bo tho
only race on an equal with the whites
in every respect. One of their football
teams toured the world about 20 years
ago and, although they played in their
bare feet, they were almost unbeatable.
