nominated were Miriam Schwartz, Lur
line Coulter and Helen King. Elec
tions will be held on Thursday from 9
o’clock until 2, in Villard hall.
At the meeting yesterday Bishop
Sumner spoke briefly of the necessity
of standards to be maintained by col
lege women, and spoke highly of the
Oregon type of university woman.
Committee Reports Made
Reports were made by the various
standing committees. The finance com
mittee made its annual report and Ber
nice Altstock, treasurer, urged a large
attendance at the Campbell concert to
be held June 2, at which time the
league hopes to pay off the remainder
of the debt from the symphony con
cert last year.
The activities committee reported on
the point system which has been care
i fully worked out. By this system a
cheek is made on the number of hours
uf outside activities each college wom
an is carrying. A card index system
with names and the activities of each
girl will be kept next year.
Ila Nichols, chairman of the house
representatives committee, reported
that the committee had drawn up the

Social Activities Numerous
The social committee reported activ
ities for the year. Approximately 26
Women’s League teas have been given
and two large teas, one for Dr. and
Mrs. Zimmern, and one for the mothers
on Mothers’ Day. Two sponsor-spon
see dances were given. The annual
April Frolic, under the supervision of
the league, and the jitney dance given
to raise money for the Women’s League
loan fund, were successes. (Four open
buses were held in Alumni hall, and
two Christmas balls were given, one
in Portland and one in Eugene. Re
cently the members of Women’s
League council entertained members of
the student council and executive coun
cil at breakfast.
FILIPINO DELEGATION TO VISIT
A Filipino delegation, now in this
country for the purpose of conferring
with President Harding in the hope of
securing independence for the Philip
pine Islands, will visit the campus if
the efforts of the Filppino club are
successful. The mission, which ar
rived in Seattle yesterday is, according
to Felipe Gamboa, composed of the
most influential men in the Islands.
If the delegation visits Portland, as is
planned, they will be invited by the
club to visit the University also.
JIMMIE MEEK CHOSEN
JUNIOR* CLASS HEAD
Race Is Close; Margaret Alexander Is
Elected Vice-president
The final count of votes in the elec
tion for junior class officers, held yes
terday in Villard hall, proved to be
rather slight in spite of the fact that
junior officials have a great deal of
work to handle. Jimmie Meek was
named president by a small majority,
the vote being: Meek 51, Edlund 43,
Farrell 32, and Harlan 4.
The race for vice-president resulted
in Margaret Alexander winning with
65 votes. Mildred Weeks followed with
55 votes, Edna Largent 30, and Gene
Bailey with 22. Paul Sayre took the
treasurership of the class by a heavy
majority over Emil Ohio, while Adah
’Harkness was chosen secretary without
any opposition.
BISHOP . PISES SPIRIT
UNDERCURRENT OF SERIOUSNESS
NOTED AMONG STUDENTS
Right Reverend W. T. Sumner Sees Big
Change on Campus; New
Appreciation Shown
Using almost the identical words of
Charles Alexander, the editor of the
Albany Democrat, who visited the Ore
gon campus but a week ago, the Right
Reverend Walter Taylor Sumner, the
Episcopal bishop of Oregon, remarked
the wonderful undercurrent of serious
ness which he asserts is more noticeable
upon the campus this year than in any
of the seven years in which he has made
his annual visit to the University. The
cognizance of this spirit by two promi
nent citizens of the state within two
weeks portends much, both as to the
spirit in the University and of the
people of the state.
“People have had the idea that all
is fun and frivolity here,” said the
bishop. “I have heard it said time
and time again that there is no serious
spirit of work down here. Such talk
is nonsense. But I have not heard so
much of it lately, and that fact in it
self reveals much of the growth in the
minds of the people of appreciation of
the University.”
Bishop Sumner will speak at the II
o’clock assembly on Thursday, and has
previously announced his topie as
“Greatheart.” Yesterday afternoon
the bishop smilingly but firmly de
clined to explain further than the title
of his speech. Upon the suggestion
that it might be John Bunyan’s famous
character of Greatheart, he merely
smiled.
“I like to keep the topic fresh for
the students,” he said. “You know a
little mystery always piques the imag
ination and adds to the interest.”
This is Bishop Sumner’s eighth year
in Oregon and his seventh annual visit
to the University campus. The bishop
is always interested in public education
and always makes it a point to visit
the Normal school, O. A. C. and the
University once a year, at least. Be
fore his election to the episcopate of
Oregon, Bishop Sumner was dean of
the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul
in Chicago. He is a graduate of Dart
mouth and of the Western Theological
Seminary. For many years in Chicago
he has been an energetic worker in
social welfare and reconstruction work,
and for many years was the superin
tendent of the Chicago city missions.
GRIFFIN IS AUTHOR OF ARTICLE
Professor Eldon Griffin, of the his
tory department, has had an article
enittled “The Window of World His
tory and the Educational Vista” ac
cepted for publication in the Histor
ical Outlook, a magazine for history
teachers. The article answers inquir
ies about the course and the applica
tion of the principles of history to
other subjects.
Flag of Boxers One of Historic
Objects in Warner Collection
A Chinese flag, carried at the head
of the Boxer forces during the rebel
lion, and bearing an inscription which
calls for the death of all foreigners,
is one of the valuable historical ob
jects that is contained in the Mrs. Mur
ray Warner collection which will be
formally presented to the University
next Monday afternoon. By a curious
coincidence, another item which has
been just recently added to the col
lection is the identical executioner ’a
sword with which the heads of all the
Boxer generals were cut off after the
rebellion had failed.
Also of historic interest, although
principally valued for their unique
artistic merit, are several of the finest j
specimens of the tapestry and em
broidery collection. Three of these are
extremely rare joss coats, garments
which once a year are placed upon the
image of the ancestor in the family
temple at a time when the whole clan
gathers. The heraldry and the sym
bolic ornament on these coats has not■
yet been thoroughly studied, but the |
indications are that these unequaled
garments belong to the ancestral god of1 ■
the Manchu imperial family itself. |
Certainly three other coats are known •
definitely to have been ceremonial ,
robes of imperial Manchus, one worn
by the emperor, one by one of his
wives, and one by the imperial prince. ,
This branch of the collection also is i
said to be unequaled in any country, ,
nor has the British museum anything
to compare with it, unless by very 1
recent acquisition. j
The dedication

ceremonies for the
museum will take 1
place in the museum and gallery rooms
in the Woman’s memorial building at
2:30 next Monday afternoon. The ex
hibits will be open to the public from i
9 a. m. to 9 p. m. on Monday, and from 11
2 to 4 p. m. every day thereafter. The j <

DAVID CAMPBELL TO
AITEIUIOD CAMPOS
ID CODCEDT JUDE 2
Former Student and Faculty
Member Is Pianist of
Wide Renown
PUPIL OF RUDOLPH GANZ
Suspension of Student Social
Events for Performance
Is Suggested
David Campbell, renowned pianist
and former University of Oregon stu
dent and faculty member, will appear
In concert on the campus June 2, in
Villard hall at 8 o’clock, according to
word that has just been received. Hisj
arrival on the campus will be greeted
with much enthusiasm, for since leav-l
ing the University he has achieved
world-wide recognition as one of the
greatest pianists of the day, and the
University is proud to claim him as a
‘native son,” both for his former con-!
nections with the University and for
bis achievements since leaving college.
David Campbell entered the Univer
sity in 1911 and studied for two years
in the college of liberal arts. He was
recognized while on the campus as a
pianist of great promise, and appeared
in frequent recitals and concerts. Dur
ing his entire college career he acted
as glee club soloist on the piano, and
later joined the faculty of the school
3i music. He left Oregon in 1913, and
in 1915 became dean of the school of
music at Whitman college, Walla Wal
la, Washington, leaving there to con
tinue his studies.
Study Completed Abroad
With his sister, Agnes, he went to
Europe to complete his study of the
piano, while his sister took up the study
of art. He was a pupil of Budolph
Ganz. While at the University j)t
Oregon, David Campbell lived with his
mother in the small white house di
rectly opposite the* Woman’s building.
He is a brother of President Campbell,
a. member of Phi Delta Theta, and was
eery prominent on the campus.
The outbreak of the war in 1914
put a sudden check to the beginning
it a concert career in Europe. Be
turning to this country in the summer
>f that year, he toured extensively but
igain his musical life was broken into.
Enlisting in the ordnance department,
lie went overseas with the A. E. P.
und was not able to resume his mus
ical activities until the fall of 1919.
Since that time his reputation as a
:oncert artist has grown steadily, and
iis playing has gained him a large fol
lowing.
■L&ndsbury mum work
Dr. John Landsbury, dean of the
school of music, said yesterday of
David Campbell, “He is one of the
greatest of the younger musicians, and
!ris ability as a pianist with a great
public gift will carry him far in the
world of music. He possesses .marked
technique and dynamic power, com
bined with a delicacy of playing and a
strong sense of dramatic value.”
The Morning Oregonian, Portland,
said of him: “David Campbell is a
foung piano star of the first magni
tude. He is especially gifted to be a
rreat American pianist. . . . Above
ill shines David Campbell’s great nat
jralness and fine modesty. He is not
spoiled by all the laudation he has met
with.”
The Oregon Journal, Portland, said:
‘David Campbell, who arrived recently
from Europe where he studied the pi
ino with distinguished masters, playedj
with a clarity of tonal beauty and a I
nastery of technic that were admir-l
ible. He is steadily forging ahead as,
me of the most talented of our younger
lianists, and fully deserves the praise
iis audience has showered upon him.”
From the Spectator, Portland, comes
;he following: “Portland music lovers
who heard this recital will be anxious
o hear more of this musician. He was
•ecalled time and again at the end of
he program and played a series of
lelightful encores.”
Return Eagerly Awaited
David Campbell is coming to Eugene
inder the management of the Elwya
Concert Bureau of Portland, and will
appear on Friday evening, June 2, in
Dillard hall at 8 o’clock. His return;
o the campus is eagerly awaited by |
lis many friends here and his recital
rives indications of being one of the
argest and most important events of
he year in the circle of music and art. j
Due to the fact that he is a musician
>f such prominence and also that he;
s an Oregon alumnus, it has been sug- j
;ested that all other activities on the
ampue, including dances, be stopped

Action of Regents
On R.O.T.C. Waits
Till June Meeting
President Campbell in Letter to Emerald Gives
Status of Request for Abolition of Training; Will
Submit All Sides of Question to Regular Ses
sion of Governing Board to Be Held June 19th
Although it was thought probable that the Board of Regents
would consider the requests of The Emerald and of the students to
abolish the R. 0. T. C. training here as a requirement for graduation
at a special meeting to be held this month, President P. L. Campbell
made it known yesterday that the uncertain financial situation had
caused the postponement of the special meeting.
At the last regular meeting of the
Board of Regents, President Campbell
was requested to present full details
of an investigation into the status of
the R. O. T. C. here, beforo the board
at its next meeting. The Emerald
first raised, early in January, the ob
jection on principle to the incongruous
existence of the R. O. T. C. in the
academic life of the University here.
President Campbell and the other
members of the administration of the
University took before the Board of
Regents the objections which had been
voiced and at the request of the board
which convened here at the time, the
president, has been carrying on his in
vestigation to mako a detailed report
at the next meeting.
Letter from President
The following communication was
addressed to the Emerald yesterday by
the president:
May 23, 1922.
Editor Emerald:
Replying to your very courteous
inquiry of recent date as to the pres
ent status of the question of required
work in the R. O. T. C. in the Uni
versity as raised earlier in the year,
permit me to say that the matter
was presented in full detail at the
meeting of the Board of Regents
held in January, and the administra
tion was asked to secure all the ad
ditional data available to be sub
mitted at the next meeting of the
Board, which regularly comes Mon
day, June 19th. Many letters have
been written and a considerable
amount of information has been re
ceived, but important facts bearing
on the situation are yet being await
ed. The matter is one of grave im
portance, to be considered most seri
ously in the light of present world
conditions, and will without doubt
command the deep interest of the
Board.
Very truly yours,
P. L. CAMPBELL.
Wholly with Bogonta
President Campbell has given every
assurance that the matter now lies
wholly with the regents of the Uni
versity, and that it will be given every
consideration. At the last meeting of
the Board, when the matter was pre
sented to the members, the president
was instructed to take into considera
tion the national situation, and as a
result has been awaiting with interest
a report of a congressional investiga
ting committee, which, however, has
not reported to date, and from all ap
pearances will not report within the
near future.
During the controversy over the
place of military drill in the life of
this University, a petition was circu
lated among the students and widely
signed, but it was afterwards with
drawn upon the assurance that the pe
tition was not necessary to a full in
vestigation into the matter by the
regents.
Principle Is Fought
At the time of the oponing of the
issue in the campus life, the statement
was made by tlio Emerald “that no
attempt was made to cause the Uni
versity administration the least em
barrassment,” the campaign as it was
carried on then fought against that
sort of thing and the objections voiced
were as stated above, against the prin
ciple of making military drill Hour
hours each week a compulsory require
ment for graduation from a University
which specializes in a liberal and cul
tural education.
President Campbell has stated that
he will submit all sides of the question
to the Board of Begents at their regu
lar meeting to be held here on Mon
day, June 19. The final disposition ofi
the B. O. T. C. will then lie wholly
with the Board of Begents, the mem
bers of which are: Governor Ben W.
Olcott, Sam Koser, J. A. Churchill, A.
C. Dixon, Chas. H. Fisher, James W.
Hamilton, Mrs. G. T. Gerlinger, C. C.
Colt, Henry McKinney, Herbert Gor
don, C. E. Woodson, Vernon H. Vawter,
William 8. Gilbert.
UNION OFFICIAL TO SPEAK
GENERAL ASPECTS OF UNIONISM
TO BE DISCUSSED TODAY
E. J. Stack, Secretray of State Labor
Federation, to Tell of Prob
lems in Oregon
Labor problems peculiar to the state
of Oregon will be discussed on the
campus today by E. J. Stack, secre
tary of the Oregon State Federation of
Labor. At 9 o ’clock this morning, in
room 205 Sociology building, and at
10 in room 107 Commerce, he will speak
on “Labor Unionism in Oregon,” and
at 4:15 in the “Y” hut, on “The Pro
gram of Labor.”
Technical problems of labor organ
izations with which he is especially
familiar, and the history and present
status of unions in this commonwealth,
will be discussed by Mr. Stack in the
morning lectures. General aspects of
unionism here and everywhere will be
considered at the hut in the afternoon.
Mr. Stack is one of the foremost
figures in the ranks of Oregon labor,
and in his years of service as secretary
and treasurer of the state federation
he has become widely known. During
the war he was attached to the ad
ministration of the excess profits tax
law and serves also on the income tax
board. Students and faculty and
townspeople are invited to attend the1
three meetings.
Mr. Stack's visit is especially sig
nificant at a time when the Univer
sity ’s support is under fire. Labor
throughout the state has been friendly
to the University and the secretary
of the state federation has stated that
he would be in favor rather of an in
crease in support, and that he looked
with great disfavor upon any redue- j
tion whatsoever.

Managers to Consider Plan
of Strictly Northwest
Track Contest
SESSION SET FOR FRIDAY
Scheduling of Sport Events
for Next Season to Be
Topic at Seattle
The Pacific Coast Conference track
meet is likely to be discontinued as
a result of recent agitation in coast
college circles, at the meeting of the
Pacific Coast Conference managers’
association to be held in Seattle on
Friday and Saturday of this week, and
a bid will likely be made by the Uni
versity of Oregon to hold the North
west Conference meet in Eugene next
year. Though there is no certainty
that the Pacific Coast meet will be
abandoned, it has existed in name only
for the past two years and indications
point to the Northwest meet as the
only one to be held in this region as an
annual event from now on.
Californians Decline to Enter
The refusal of the University of
California and Stanford university to
outer teams in the conference meet last
year might have had some bearing
upon the proposal to abandon the
event. The two California institutions
have also refused to participate again
this year and have sent their teams to
the big eastern meet at Harvard in
stead. Of course the California schools
have a valid excuse in the fact that
their school is so nearly finished be
fore the Pacific Coast Conference meet
is held, in spite of the fact that this
is the second year they have sent
teams to the eastern meet, which has
been held both years on the same date.
Oregon’s representatives, Jack Bene
fiel, graduate manager; Qeorge Bohler,
head coach of basketball and baseball,
and Bill Hayward, head coach of track
and varsity trainer, will leave Thurs
day for the Seattle meeting. This will
not be an official' gathering of the
conference and thus will be unable to
take up matters of general policy eon
cerning the conference, such as the
abolishment of the rule forbidding
sectional or state interseholastic ath
letic competition under the auspices of
the member eolleges and universities.
Schedules to Be Made Up
The purpose of the meeting this
spring, which by the way is the first
spring meeting the managers have ever
held, is to draw up schedules for
wrestling, swimming, tennis, baseball,
basketball and track for next year.
The meeting will also consider and
make definite proposals for the stan
dardization of awards in various ath
letic activities and discuss the rules
for the awarding of the Schwabacher
trophy cup to the winning football
team of the Pacific Coast Conference
each season.
organized actino Co persuade railroads
to grant reduced rates to athletic teams
traveling from place to place in the
conference games will also be taken.
This move is significant in view of
the fact that it may mean a substan
tial reduction of railroad rates which
will materially aid the teams in mak
ing the long trips necessary if the Pa
cific Coast Conference is to be held
together during the season.
Oregon’s Facilities Good
The bid for the Northwest Confer
ence track meet seems probable to be
made by Oregon, due to the fact that
this is the first year that the meet
has ever been held away from Pull
man, Washington, and that Oregon de
serves the gathernig. The superior
track facilities at the University avail
able in the $10,000 cinder oval which
was completed last year, seem to make
Eugene the logical place for the meet
if it does come to this State.
