UbT» v Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY. MAY 23. 1922 NUMBER 3-/3/ STATE TITLE III DEBATE GOES TO PENDLETON HIGH Boy Speakers from Umatilla Metropolis Beat Girls of Grants Pass GRADUATED TAX SUBJECT Round-Up City Is First to | Have Name Engraved on New Loving Cup Pendleton high school, represented by Rex Kramer and Philip Fordyce, two students who never took part in a debate until last winter, won a 2 to 1 decision over the team from Grants Pass, composed of two girls, Corlyss Courtney and Lula Garrett, in the de bate for state honors held in Guild hall last Saturday evening. By win ning the interscholastie debating championship of Oregon the Pendleton team obtained first possession of the DeCou cup, the rotative trophy which will be given permanently to the high school winning it three times. The Pendleton team, which had the affirmative side of the question, is coached by Miss Amanda Zabel, a graduate from the University of North Dakota. Miss Zabel has been a coach of forensic for a number of years and last year coached the orator who won the state championship in North Da kota. Kramer is a junior in the high school, while Fordyce completes his preparatory work this year and ex pects to enter Oregon next fall. Debate Hardest of Year The boys from eastern Oregon were profuse in their praise of the team from Grants Pass, coached by Mrs. k Laura T. Grunnell, and say that it * was their hardest debate of the season, although they met several good teams in the district debates east of the Cas cades. Both Kramer and Fordyce are loyal to their coach and point to the fact that she took Taw material, boys who had never debated before, and worked them into a championship team. Pendleton won their district title by defeating Hermiston and Condon, the central Oregon championship, by win ning from Prineville, and the right to enter the state finalB by defeating Vale for the eastern Oregon championship. Cup Is Presented Judges for the debate Saturday night were Prof. Clarence D. Thorpe, R. W. Prescott and I. O. Immel. The sub ject of the debate was: “Resolved, that a graduated income tax should be made a feature of a state Bystem of taxation in Oregon.” A. C. Strange, of As toria, president of the debate league which was founded at the University in 1907, largely through the efforts of Prof. E. E. DeCou, presided. Presi dent Campbell briefly addressed the debaters and the small crowd and Pro fessor DeCou awarded the DeCou Cup to the winning team. The Pendleton boys expressed their admiration of the loving cup, a large silver trophy fringed with a laurel wreath, and intimated that Pendleton high school would be in the race for ^ honors again next year. The two de baters said that they were picked from a galaxy of junior debaters equally as good as they were. SOPHOMORES VOTE TODAY Many Candidates Out for Junior Posts; Polls Close at 3 P. M.

FROSH DEFEAT JUNIORS Game in Girls' Baseball Series Ends in 22-12 Score The freshman girls took a baseball game from the juniors with a 22 to 12 score yesterday afternoon at 5 o’clock. The game early resolved itself into a pitchers’ battle between Dorothy Mc Kee for the juniors and Grace Sulli van for the frosh. The superior field ing of the freshmen decided the game in their favor. Excitement is running high in the class series as to which teams will com bat on Field day for the championship.

JUNIORS TO NOMINATE OFFICERS, 4:15 TODAY May Charter Train for Monster Class Picnic Up McKenzie River Next Saturday The junior class is to meet this after noon at 4:15 in Villard hall for the purpose of nominating next year’s class officers, and to decide on the junior picnic planned for Saturday of ! this week-end. This picnic is to be something out of the ordinary and on a much larger scale than usual, says Tom Wyatt, president of the class. The present plan is to get a special train from the Southern Pacific company and take the entire class to Oak Ridge, one of the prettiest places on the McKenzie river. In order to get a special train at least 250 of the members of the class will have to make the trip, and all those wishing to make the trip will have to turn in their names to Tom Wyatt at the Kappa Sig house before Wednesday night. All organizations will have to send in a list of their members who are making the trip, so that the committee will know the ap proximate number that is going. The trip as planned is that the train will leave Eugene at 8:30 in the morn ing and the party will remain at Oak Ridge all day, returning late in the evening. The committees for the vari ous parts of the work are to be ap pointed at the meeting held this evening. PRESIDENTS TO CONFER STUDENT BODY HEADS WILL MEET AT COBVALLIS Lyle Bartholomew and John MacGregor Will Represent Oregon; 13 Other Schools to Attend Lyle Bartholomew, president of the. University of Oregon student body andj head of the Pacific Association of i Student Body Presidents, has called a meeting of the 13 student presidents of the coast to meet at the Oregon! Agricultural college next Friday, Sat urday and Sunday. President Bar-| tholomew and President-elect John1 MacGregor will represent the Oregon student body. Bartholomew expects that the dis-j cussion in the conference will center chiefly around student body finances, and the offices of graduate manager! and treasurer of the various student' associations. The honor system, a question which has been raised at everyj. association meeting thus far, will also! be taken up at the coming meeting, and thoroughly discussed in all of its phases. Association officers for the coming year will be elected at this meeting. The presidential delegates, past and future, at the conference will repre sent the following colleges and uni versities: University of Idaho, Uni versity of Montana, University of Washington, Washington State college, Whitman college, WIillamette univer sity, Pacific university, Albany college, Reed college, University of Oregon, Oregon Agricultural college, Stanford1 university, University of California, j BIG SENIOR BUST IS PLANNED FOR FRIDAY Lottery for Wild Evening Will Be Square Is Promise of Leslie; Drawings to Be Today Seniors of the University were cast into a sea of excitement last night by: the announcement that their annual big bust, the senior lottery, will be held next Friday evening, May 26, at1 the Sigma Nu house. The party had previously been planned for May 29 but a change in date was made neces sary because of another social event1 which had priority on that date and which would be attended by many, seniors. j A committee consisting of “Spike” j Leslie,: James Say, Sidney Haslip,; Helen Nelson and Emily Perry is ar ranging details for the annual affair and will meet this morning to draw up the lottery. Members of the com-i mittee will meet at 11 o’clock at the! west entrance of the Commerce build ing but their movements after that! will be shrouded in cryptic mystery,! for Chairman Leslie says this is to be a “square mix” and no petitions for “lottery twisting” will be enter-! tained. At 4 o’clock in the afternoon the list will be posted on the bulletin board in the library. Plans are under way to make this year’s lottery the “wildest of senior parties,” according to President Leith Abbott. It will be a costume affair and men of the class are already ar ranging for odd contrivances with which to transport their damsels to the Sigma Nu house. GEORGE TAYLOR HERE George W. Taylor, vice president of the Oregon student body in 1918-19, is a visitor on the campus at the Kappa Theta Chi house. JUNIOR WEEK-END BIGGEST SUCCESS EVER STAGED HERE More than 350 Guests Witness Athletic and Social Events of Big Holiday OREGON SPIRIT IS SHOWN Canoe Fete Marred by Rain; Weather for Other Events Was Favorable Quiet reigns supreme on the cam pus, eyes blink sleepily, and the tra ditional “hello” is rather mumbled than spoken by those who have taken part in one of the livest week-ends that has ever been on the University calendar. Junior Week-end, 1922, has been pronounced an unprecedented suc cess not only by those responsible for it, but as well by those who were en tertained. The junior class, though worn out with physical exhaustion from their efforts to make the program successful in every detail, have an nounced themselves as satisfied with the general spirit of hospitality dis played by all the students. It is thought that the week-end was up to the standrd and that the 350-odd guests who came to the campus went away much satisfied and impressed with what the school has to offer in social and athletic activities as well as with the unequaled Oregon spirit. Senior Cops Busy Things commenced with a bang on Friday morning when the senior cops shined up their tin stars, got out their canes, paddles and billy clubs, and made life generally miserable for freshmen and all others who tended to shirk or to escape work. Paddles flashed and the senior fountain was kept splashing while the guardians ofj the campus peace and overseers of stu dent labor singled out yearling after yearling to suffer unmercifully at their hands by cooling in the fount. Much was accomplished with Hayward field being put in preparation for the week’s athletic events, final touches put to the grandstand on the mill race and the unsightly refuse on Kincaid field burned. The “O” on Skinner’s Butte took a new lease on^ife when the members of the frosli football team made the annual pilgrimage with paint to make the old concrete glisten. Luncheon Is Enjoyed The campus luncheon was run off in smooth fashion. All the serving forces were well organized under the director ship of Lenore Cram. Everyone gath ered at the men’s outdoor gym and formed in long lines to get what was acclaimed by all a most satisfying lunch. While students and guests fed, amusement was afforded when the clean looking frosh were singled out by the paint-laden frosh football men and branded on the front and rear with the sign of the O. A beautiful sight to see was that of the freshmen swimming the mill race after their tug-of-war team went down to defeat before the sophomore hus kies. The pull was of short duration. The frosh lost ground at the first tug of the rope. It was but the matter of a moment until the freshmen, see ing the plight of their team, halted the contest by a mad scramble for the opposite bank. Thence they proceeded in a serpentine to Kincaid field where the usual rites were performed with the burning of the frosh green caps.j Athletic contests filled the afternoon’s! program. Fete Is Gorgeous Friday evening in a drizzling rain 17 gorgeously decorated floats passed in review along the mill race before an admiring audience which crowded the stands in spite of the unfavorable weather. All available seats in the bleachers were taken and people stood in crowds on the walk paralleling the race. Satisfaction was expressed by spectators that the floats were run by in good time. They showed the result of careful preparation by the organi zations which entered them. “The Jade God,” float entered by Pi Beta Phi and Phi Sigma Pi, was awarded the two cups as prize winner. The Junior Prom Saturday evening was the event which closed the week end festivities. The Eugene Armory was crowded to overflowing with en thusiasts of the dance. The decora tions were a summer scene with pen dant stars hanging from the ceiling and a white pergola enclosing the or chestra. McBride's orchestra fur nished music. PLEDGING IS ANNOUNCED Hermian club announces the pledging of Wilma Chattin and Dorothy McKee. WARNER ART GIFT MADE NUCLEUS OE OREGON MUSEUM Collection Will Be Formally Accepted by President and Regents Monday NEW DEPARTMENT BEGUN Museum to Contain Chinese Lacquer, Porcelains, Ivory Statues and Mirrors A new department of the University will be founded next Monday when President Campbell and the board of regents will make the formal accept ance of the Mrs. Murray Warner art collection, the occasion for the estab lishment of a University department of museums and collections. A curator will be appointed and the museum will be administered as an independent branch of the institution. The new University museum will start with a collection that is in many respects unique on the Pacific coast and which, in some departments, has no equal anywhere in the world. Neither the Smithsonian Institute nor the British museum will have a better collection or superior examples of an cient Chinese lacquer, of which the University of Oregon owns 17 pieces, which are considered by connoisseurs to be absolutely perfect representatives of old cinnabar. There re also many fine examples of Japanese lacquer but none so rare as the Chinese. Has High Value Next to the lacquers in the collec tion, which President Campbell de clares bears as a whole a value be tween $100,000 and $250,000, comes the section devoted to Chinese tapestries and embroideries, of which there are more than 100 pieces forming a group unequaled in this country. The col lection was the work of the late Major Murray B. Warner, U. S. A., who with his wife was among the very few Oc cidental connoisseurs in the Orient during the long period that included the Boxer troubles ami the decade of disturbances that followed. Major Warner was able to gather objects of artistic and historical value which are unobtainable now, many of the items in the University of Oregon gift being absolutely unique in the world. Anrther important section of the museum will be that devoted to porce lains with many fine examples of the old blue, five color, Sang Boeuf, and peach blow varieties of medieval Chi nese production. The Japanese por celain section is very fine but most of the examples date only from the last century or so. Many Nations Represented Arms and armor will form an inter esting section of the 60 cases into which the museum is to be divided. India, China, Japan and Turkey are represented by splendid examples of the armorer’s art, in many instances highly embellished with gold and sil ver inlay. The section devoted to Nitsukis, or Japanese statuettes carved in ivory, will rank second only to that gathered by Mrs. Phoebe Appersou Hearst and exhibited at the Panama Pacific ex position. Among the bronzes and brasses of ancient Chinese manufacture there are a considerable number of examples of very ancient workmanship. One mir ror, the polished brass surface of which still retains its original reflecting power, is declared by Professor Kuno, a University of California expert, to be probably 1000 years old. 250 Choice Specimens Btill older are an ancient temple bell of bronze and a group of vases of the three-clawed dragon period. Very an cient also is an old Chinese three-tiered stove of open work brass. There are also several small bronze stows of Japanese workmanship. Other features of the collection in clude screens, both the Japanese vari ety and the Chinese porcelain screen, used in the household shrine that shel ters the ancestral tablets. In point of numbers the most ex tensive part of the collection is that devoted to Japanese prints, of which there are more than 250 very ehoiee specimens. These are now being framed and will be open to the public in the two art gallery rooms which will be dedicated as part of the museum Monday. DOUGLASS 18 REOOVEEING M. H. Douglass, University librarian, who early last week was bitten by a dog, is now recovering rapidly. As a result of the bite, blood poison infect ed Mr. Douglass’ arm. It is expected that he will be able to return to work before the end of this week. LEAGUE NOMINATIONS SCHEDULED FOR TODAY University Women to Name Officers for 1922-23 Term at Meeting in Villard at 5 Women 'a League nominations will be held this afternoon in Villard hall at 5 o ’dock. The nominations were scheduled to take place last Thursday but the small number present prevent | ed them from being held. The nominating committee will make its report of candidates for the differ ent offices and nominations will also be made from the floor. Offices to be filled are those of president, held this year by Ella Rawlings, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, reporter and ser geant-at-arms. Nominations will also be made from the floor for a member of this year’s sophomore class to at tend the conference of the Woman’s State Federated clubs at Tillamook from May 31 to .Tune 1. MAY 30 IS LAST DRILL DAY MEMORIAL DAY PARADE WILL CLOSE WORK OF TERM Each Company to Be Allotted Separate Day for Turning in Uniforms and Equipment Three more drill days and a down town parade on Decoration day will conclude tlio regular outdoor military work of students in the University unit of the R. O. T. 0., according to Major R. C. Baird, head of the Uni versity military department. The de partment was asked by a committee of the city of Eugene to have the unit take part in the Decoration day cere mony and Major Baird has substituted this parade for the remaining drills of the torm. All members of the R. O. T. C. aro expected to be prosent and absences will result in the loworing of grades at least 2 per cent for each drill day that would ordinarily follow. Another reason for the early closing of the work of the department is that the non-commissioned officers will be ordered to summer camps and it is expected that Captain F. C. Lewis and Lieutenant M. E. KiiowIcb will be sent to Camp Lewis. For the turning in of uniforms and equipment, a plan whereby efficiency and speed will be had is to be used. A separate day will be allotted to each company for the turning in of uni forms and refunding of deposits on them. Major Baird yesterday received his leave of absence for the summer and he expects to take a vacation, visiting probably Crater Lake, Los Angeles, and Yellowstone Park. Major and Mrs. Baird will also visit their rela tives in Iowa. Major Baird’s leave of absence extends to September 1, at which time he is to report for instruc tion at the School of the Line, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Lieutenant Colonel Sinclair, the next University R. O. T. C. commandant, has been at tending the same school.

WASHINGTON TAKES TRACK MEET FROM VARSITY 75 TO 56 First Places Nearly Even but Vikings Grab Most Seconds, Thirds SPEAROW HIGH POINT MAN No Records Broken but Time Considered Good in Face of Unfavorable Wind Washington 75, Oregon 56. That was the way the score stood at the finish of the dual meet held Saturday afternoon on Hayward field, despite the fact that the two opposing forces divided almost equally the first places, the varsity taking seven and Washing ton seven and the relay. The meet was a live affair from the first gun. Under the guidance of Coach Bill Hayward, there was no long wait for the throng of spectators pres ent. While no previous records were broken or equaled, tho marks were con sidered excellent by the coaches, con sidering that an unfavorable wind pre vailed throughout tho afternoon. Hundred Was Thriller The 100-yard dash, the initial event, was a thriller, Ole Lurson tearing down the course neck and neck with Vic Hurley, the veteran Washington sprinter, with Del Obertouffer barely a foot behind. Larson crossied the tape a scant few inches in the lead. Tho time was 10 flat, but it was agreed by the coaches that the time would have been reduced had the sprinters not been pulling against the wind. The mile was taken by Glen Walkley, Oregon track captain. Although the time was not extraordinary, the rangy Oregon miler was not forced to exert himself to pull away from the others on the last lap. The 220-yard dash was a nip and tuck race between Hurley of Washington and Oborteuffor for Oregon. However, tho Purple and Gold speedster spurted to the finish a few feet in front of Obie, gaining his lead in the last few yards of tho dash. LurBou placed third. Koepp wins Two Mile Guy Koepp for Oregon won the two mile run against Zenner of Washing ton in the most spectacular event of tho day. The four entrants kept close together for seven laps but at the be ginning of the last round Koepp opened up and took the lead closely followed by Zenner. The two men were run ning almost even when they passed the grandstand, but 220 yards from the finish Zenner tried to pass and it was then that a sprint resembling a 100-yard dash started which brought the stunds to their feet. Koepp won by a few yards and trotted off the field. Ralph Spearow was again high point man, winning three first places. He was booked to lead in tho pole vault and the broad jump, but it was be lieved that Frankland of Washington had the edge in the high jump. Spearow won by clearing the bar at 5 feet 10 inches. Oregon’s weakest place proved to be in the hurdles, the outcome of which gave Washington a good safe lead. In the 120 yard low hurdles Kuhnhausen took second place, while in tho 220 yard low hurdles the Huskies took all throe places. Scotty Strachan won the shot put (Continued on page four.) Emancipation of Women Makes Dean Linfield Proud of Sex “ Frequently, in these modern days, we do not realize the great advance that has been made in the emancipa tion of women.” Dean France's E. Lin field of Linfield college, McMinnville, Oregon, spoke to the “man from the Emerald” who calls on visitors to the Oregon campus and “interviews” them. Dean Linfield—one wants to call her mother—was a little flustered by the “interview” at first, when the reporter met her in the Alumni hall of the Woman’s building. She remarked that she thought it wonderful. Apropos of the Emerald Mrs. Lin field said that “we too have a paper at Linfield, which comes out weekly.” From papers, the talk shifted to Dean Linfield’s work. She has long been engaged in educational work and knows all the ins and outs of co-educa tional growth. For 17 years she taught in a high school in Spokane, Washing ton, before coming to Linfield last fall. “There was no one to take over the work with the women this year,” said the dean with a smile, “and Pres ident Kiley asked me to assume charge for this year anyway. Our buildings are very inadequate, but we 're hoping for many things, uiuong them u girls’ dormitory. At present all of our girls, 143 in all, room about the town, and although we huve sororities, we have no sorority houses. “You might say,” she added, “that we’re a growing and a going college, either adjective will do.” Coming to the subject of the eman cipation of women, IJean Linfield said that she was graduated from Elmira college, the first coeducational insti tution in the world. Mrs. Linfield ' told of the opposition at that time to 1 higher education for women. “They said,” she quoted, “that they didn’t need it in business, for they weren’t in it—they didn’t need it in the profes sions, for they didn’t go into them, and they didn’t need it in the home.
