„ a o Oregon Daily Emerald Theta Sigma Phi Edition - -—- . .— ----— VOLUME XXIII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1922 NUMBER 136 PI BETA PHI AND PHI SIGMA PI AWARDED CANOE FETE TROPHY “The Jade God,” Picturing Temple Shrine of Japan, with Buddha and Incense, Proclaimed as Winner COMPETITION IS KEEN; ONLY ONE PRIZE GIVEN Shimmering Colored Light, Reflected in Race, Adds Beauty to Scene; Music Echoes Along Waters Shimmering colors were reflected from lights of rose and blue and green, and the sound of music echoed along the waters of the old mill race, as canoes slipped along past the crowded bleachers at the canoe fete last night. "The Jade God” was the float that brings a winner’s cup to each of the two houses that made it, Pi Beta Phi and Phi Sigma Pi. In a temple shrine from far Japan, with tall jars of glow ing incense, a little Japanese lady in a blue kimono knelt on the steps of the shrine before the figure of a Buddha in jade green, as the float passed the rows on onlookers. The winning float was fourteenth on the list. "Madrigal,” of Alpha Chi Omega and Sigma Chi, was a pretty tableau, with clowns in black and white holding gay yellow lanterns, against a background of blue. Soft violin music added to the loveliness of this first event of the fete. Sea Nymphs Featured Three mer-maidens, with their father Neptune, in an irridescent shell of mother-of-pearl, was the float of Alpha Phi and Alpha Tau Omega. The an cient god of the sea, with his nymph daughters, sat in an ocean grotto with sea-weed that trailed in the water of the mill race. “An Oriental Dream,” of Alpha Sigma and Delta Tau Delta, was a barge in effective black and orange, oared by dusky boatmen, where Juanita Jackson made a charming oriental dancer, to the softly-beating music of ■“Songs of India.” “Adoration,” the float of Chi Omega and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, was a colorful affair of red and blue and gold, where a turbaned lover of the Par East offered incense to his adored. Another oriental picture was the float of Delta Delta Delta and Sigma Nu, which showed an eastern damsel riding in her curtained howdah upon the back of an elephant, which was guided by a tiny boy in Hindu turban. Spanish Caballeros Sing Soft music of “La Paloma” was sung by a quartet of Spanish cabal- j leros to an appreciative senorita, in “Lalita Fuentes,” the float of Delta j Gamma and Phi Gamma Delta. Color j and music made this an effective float, j “The Swan,” of Delta Zeta and Beta Theta Pi, showed a nymph in a leafy barge drawn by three white swans, j (Continued on page three.) TRADITION JS_ ABOLISHED THETA SIGMA PHI TO PLEDGE WOMEN JOURNALISTS NEXT FALL DURING HOMECOMING Theta Sigma Phi, women’s national honorary journalistic fraternity, hai abolished one Junior Week-end custom by not pledging upperclass girls in the school of journalism at the campus luncheon. Scroll and Script and Friara alone conferred honors. Because of a new national ruling, Theta Sigma Phi is unable to pledge any upperclass girls before the opening of school next fall. This will mean the abolishing of one custom and the in auguration of a new one. It is the policy of the organization to take in as members each year those women who have shown the greatest ability in journalism. Pledging will take place at the Homecoming luncheon given during the fall term, and Theta Sigma Phi’s and their pledges will then edit the eight page paper which has been a traditional Junior Week-end event until this year. In order that the active girls might have an opportunity this year to test their journalistic ability, it was decided to take over the regular Emerald for one day. Girls who have held Emerald staff positions throughout the year assisted in covering campus news and working on the copy desk. Only one man was permitted to retain his position on the staff, and on account of the all-night vigil kept by girls in previous years, the night editor was not only permit ted, but asked to keep his regular po sition. CAMPUS GOLF COURSE TO BE OPENED TODAY Links May Be Used without Charge; Clubs Ordered and Expected to Arrive Next Week The four-hole golf course which has recently been constructed south of the B. O. T. C. barracks has been complet ed and will be opened for playing this morning to all members of the faculty, students and their guests. The greens have been ready for several days and, according to W. K. Newell, superin tendent of properties, the fairways will be finished this morning. There will be no charge for playing on the course, as it has been construct ed as a practice course for those who have only a limited amount of time to spend at the game. Two sets of golf clubs have been ordered by the physical education department and will be for rent there early next week. The rules for the use of the course are in charge of a committee of which Carlton Spencer is chairman, and a copy of these rules will be posted at the first tee. In accordance with the Univer sity ruling regarding the use of all atheltie facilities on the campus, the course may not be used on Sundays. Frosh Go Through Water, But. Leave Their Green Caps in Fire ‘•Heave—all together—p-u-u-ull!” So came the cry from each side of the mill race, accompanied by encouraging shouts from the bystanders, and mighty tugs from the lines of straining figures at each end of the rope. The water surged between, lashed by the rope, which stretched taut, splashed, dipped, and tightened again. This way—that wav — back and forth, slackening, tightening, tugging, straining, pulling, heaving, slipping—yes, it slipped. A husky shout from the freshman line: “Hold ’er! Hold ’er!” From the sophomore ranks came a mighty roar. The line bent back, the rope tightened—something happened. A foot slipped. One pull—all together —and the race was a surging sea of slashing, shouting freshmen. They went in—but they scrambled out on the other side, gasping, dripping. It was a good battle. Across the fields, pursued by a mass of hoarse-voiced sophs, with the senior cops panting in the rear—streaming shirt tails, brandishing paddles—raced the dripping babes. Routed at last by the wieldy sticks of the senior police, they fell into a long line and serpentined on Kincaid field. The last rites were to be per formed—the tiny green caps were to be cons'gned to the flames—the badge of subordination for the past seven months was to go up in smoke. No wonder they yelled—throaty shouts— mighty roars. Around and around the field, tramping in time to a chanting •‘Rah, Rah, Oregon,” yellow paint streaked faces turned toward the blaze which waited to receive the sac rifice. Then the senior cops fell into order, the fire mounted up, and the first frosh dashed through the double line of brandishing clubs. The little green lid plunged into the blaze, and its owner raced od, accompanied by the timely smacks of the wide and active paddles. So, one by one, they disap peared—the verdant little chapeaux— in the licking flames, and the panting frosh dashed out into freedom. They have gone for this year. No more will one see the flamboyant lit tle green caps about the campus. But next fall will bring them out again— as green and new as ever. This year’s frosh are now initiated Oregon boost ers, they have the “spirit,” and the fight—they have been christened in the Oregon style by fire and water. How are we going to tell the frosh from the ordinary student when the traces of the tug-of-war and the green caps no longer appear! That is the question. ZETA RHO EPSILON IS GIVEN CHAPTER OE ALPHA XI DELTA National Women’s Fraternity Will Install Local Group on University of Oregon Campus Early Next Month CHARTER IS FOURTH GRANTED ON COAST Grand Officers, Representa tives of Pacific Branches, Will Conduct Initiation; Ethel Sanborn to Assist News of the granting of a chapter of Alpha Xi Delta, national woman’s fra ternity, to Zeta Rho Epsilon, local women’s organization, was made known on the campus last night. The date of installation has been set early in June, probably June 1 and 2. Zeta Rho Epsilon was organized in May, 1920, and became a resident group on the campus at the opening of the University in the fall of the same year. Local Alpha Xi Delta represen tatives, under whom the group was or ganized, were Ethel Sanborn, instruc tor in the botany department, and Mar tha Findalil, instructor in voice in the school of music at that time. The national fraternity of Alpha Xi Delta was founded April 17, 1893, at Lombard college, Galesburg, 111. There are at present 29 chapters of Alpha Xi Delta and 23 alumnae chapters. The national officers of Alpha Xi Delta are: Anna Miller Knote, Mansfield, Ohio, president; M. Olive Johnson, San Rafael, Calif., vice-president; Ethel Baldwin, Elmira, N. Y., secretary; Lulu L. Runge, Lincoln, Nebr., treasurer; and Myrtle Jones Stevens, Minneapo lis, Minn., inspector. The University of Oregon chapter will be the fourth to be installed in Pacific coast colleges, the other three being Nu chapter at University of Washington, Omicron chapter at Uni versity of California, and Alpha Delta chapter at Oregon Agricultural collejje. There are 26 active members and pledges of Zeta Rho Epsilon. The of ficers for this year have been; Mary Largent, Silverton, president; Florence Furuset, Eugene, vice-president; Lucile Branstetter, Eugene, secretary; Pauline Tompkins, Caldwell, Idaho, treasurer. Patrons and patronesses for the group are Mr. and Mrs. Hail R. Douglass, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Prescott, Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Thorpe. The date of installation has been set for an early date because of the fact that the national convention of the fra ternity will be held the latter part of June in Lexington, Ky., and because Mrs. Leland A. Coon, an active mem-; ber of the group, is leaving the first of June to spend the next year and a half in France. Representatives of the three Pacific coast chapters and Ethel Sanborn will assist the national of ficers in the installaiton ceremonies.

Coach Ed mundson’s men have been in Eugene since Thursday afternoon, and are in readiness for the contest, which, ac cording to the opinion of the coaches, is going to be close and interesting. The Washington team defeated the Aggie teams in the recent rleay car nival, and in the last meet with Oregon won by a large score. However, since that time they have lost some of their strong men. With the defeats of the frosh in yesterday’s track meet, and the varsity in baseball, the Oregon en thusiasts are trusting that the team will make a good showing this after noon on Hayward field. Since but 16 men are eligible to enter, Trainer Hayward has been forced to leave several of his men out, and late last night his choice stood as follows: 100-yard dash, Larson, Oberteuffer; mile run, Wlakley; 220-yard dash, Oberteuffer, Larson; 120-yard high hurdles, Kuhnhausen, Webber; 440 yard dash, Sundeleaf, Risley, Wyatt; two-mile run, Koepp, Campbell; 220 yard low hurdles, Oberteuffer, Kuhn hausen, Webber; 880-yard run, Peltier, Walkley, Kays; relay, Sundeleaf, Ris ley, Wyatt, Rosebraugh; pole vault, Spearow, Rosenberg; shot put, Strach an, Ferris; high jump, Spearow, Bowles, Kuhnhausen; javelin, Rosenberg, Spearow, Strachan; discus, Strachan, Kuhnhausen.

PEPPY LEMMY TICKLES CAMPUS FUNNY BONES Comic Magazine Featuring Preppers Makes Big Hit; Cover Design Unusual; Wit Is Rare Snappy and timely is the “Preppers’ issue” of the Lemon Punch which ap peared yesterday, the dapper young man on the cover presenting a grinning face and a willing hand to receive the Oregon welcome. Originality and “pep” stick out all over the magazine. The front page illustration, by Ray Bethers, is only a sample of the spirit displayed throughout the whole issue. The number is featured by numerous cartoons and cuts, and the jokes are new, snappy and clever. Most of the jokes are shorter than usual and lib erally illustrated. Several full page cuts are distinctive and unusual in originality. Many new contributors have turned in material for this issue of the Punch, and from ad indications, and according to the staff, the future holds much in the way of new and original contribu tions. Several contributors for this issue have had work accepted by na tional publications. The editorial page is featured by a whole new make-up and is a bright spot in the issue, full of sparkling aud effervescent wit. This is the first issue of the Punch since it was taken over by the new staff of which “Doe” Braddoek is editor. The character of this number seems to predict a bright future for the magazine, according to its readers. Baseball Score Is 11 to 1 at End of Fifth Inning; Game Called on Account of Rain By I. King The Aggies had annexed a total of 11 tallies againat Oregon’s 1 when the game was called on account of rain at the end of the fifth inning yester day on Cemetery Ridge. Each member of the O. A. C. nine can claim at least one run to his credit, excepting Palfrey, whoso two hits served to swell the total by bringing men in from the bases, but who failed to cross the home plate himself. Jimmy Ross, Oregon’s second baseman, worked his way around the diamond for the single Oregon tally in the first inning. The game was taken by the Aggie team from the beginning. The score at the end of the initial frame was 4 to 1 in their favor. No runs were made by either team in the second and third, but by a series of good hits, the vis itors completed their total of 11 in the fourth and fifth innings. Oregon lost a chance to score in the fifth when, with two outs already and the bases full, Ringle hit out to the Aggie short stop and made the down which ended the game. Yesterday’s game was the third vic tory for O. A. C. in this season’s series. The fourth and final game will be played this morning on the Ridge at 10 o’clock. The summary: O. A. C.

MISS SAUNDERS APPOINTED Lucile Saunders, a former student in the University of Oregon School of Journalism, has recently been appoint ed to the United Press Service at Washington, D. C. She left Portland over a year ago to tour South America, writing her observations for the Port land Oregonian and a number of trade journals. Since that time she was ap pointed as United Press correspondent at Buenos Aires anil was serving in that capacity when she accepted the position at Washington, D. C. FRIARS ELECT Ralph Couch John MacGregor Kenneth Youel Owen Callaway Hugh Latham ELECTION ANNOUNCED Sigma Delta Pi, honorary Spanish fraternity, elects: Alice Tomkins, liar old Evans, Hubert Schenck, Edgar Blood., “Preppers” Are Thrilled with Numerous Events; 327 Officially Regis tered by Last Night TENNIS, TRACK, BASEBALL TODAY Festivities to End with Prom Tonight; Clean up Is Termed Success; Frosh Prove Loyalty Junior Week-end, that event in the school life of the University on' which every eye has been focused for the past few months, has at last arrived, and yesterday created such a stir on the campus that there was not a leis ure moment from the time that the mighty senior “cops” called early in the morning at the men’s houses for freshmen recruits, until the last of the canoes went gliding down the race last night. Up to 6 o ’clock last night, 327 "preppers” had registered in the of fice for that purpose on the second floor of the administration building According to “Chuck” Lamb, who was in charge at that time, a majority of the visitors are women, and the larg est number from any one section of the state comes from Portland and vi cinity. Of the outlying districts, Pen dleton, Baker and Medford are best represented. Although it was thought that all the preppers had not regis tered, the totul was taken as a fair estimate because of the fact that in order to obtain tickets to the various cvonts, the prospective Oregon stu dents had to have their names record ed. However, it is believed that many guests arrived later in the evening, so that there will be far more spectators at today’s events than at those of yes terday. Although a large number are being entertained by the sororities, fraternities und halls of residence, many gave town addresses when reg istering. second uatne Today This morning the Oregon baseball team will meet the O. A. 0. nine in the second of the two game series. The fight is scheduled to begin at 10 o’clock on the Cemetery Bidge dia mond. i’robably the most important feature of today’s program is the Ore gon Washington dual track meet, which will draw the crowd to Haywiyid field at 2 o ’clock. Immediately after luncheon, at 1 o’clock, the Oregon frosh and the O. A. C. rooks will demonstrate their skill with racquets in a series of tennis matches on the cement courts west of the library. Due to the large number of Junior Week-end events which had to be crowded into the three day per iod, a conflict necessarily resulted. The Oregon O. A. C. singles will begin at —:UO, during the track meet. It is believed that among the visitors on the canipus there will be enough tennis enthusiasts so that both contests will be well attended. 1’radically the only formal event of the Junior Week-end program is the from, which is to be held in the Eu gene armory tonight at SiJO. Guests have been provided with tickets for this, while students must pay the ad mission charge of $1. The from will end the scheduled activities of the week cud. Yearling Clean Campus It is said by campus authorities that if toduy ‘'goes off” as well as yester day, the preppers will be entertained as they had hoped to be. Beginning yesterday morning, gangs of freshmen could be seen all over the campus cleaning and straightening up. A large crew of the “yearlings,” patrolled al ways by the wearers of the sombreros, gathered and burned the last vestige of the old Kincaid grandstand. The senior fountain, between the library and Beady hall, was cleaned out for the occasion and, as many of the frosh More than .‘1000 people were served at the campus luncheon but, as four lines of tables holding the food were formed, there was no confusion and very little waiting to be done. Follow ; ing the luncheon everybody went down j to the railroad bridge across the mill j race to see the frosh and sophomores ! pull their annual tug of war. Then ■ came the wild scramble wheu the sev eral hundred freshmen plunged through the icy waters of the mill race to safe I t v ou the other side.
