JEjMtlVI 0 JO A Oregon Daily Emerald • \ • I * VOLUME XXIV. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. WEDNESDAY, APRIL II, 192:3 NUMBER 125 OIL PAINTING ST SCUFF TAKES Oregon Professor Captures First Prize of $300 at Utah Exhibition NOTED ARTISTS COMPETE Winning Entry Is Landscape Formerly Displayed At Chamber of Commerce Competing with artists from all over the United States, and especially the Pacific Coast, Prof. Alfred H. Schroff, head of the department of fine arts, won the first prize of $300 on a land scape in oils entitled “Blown Cypress Trees—A Grey Day on Seventeen Mile Drive, Carmel by the Sea” at the an nual exhibit held at Springville, Utah, according to a telegram received yes terday. He was recently awarded first mention at Seattle over many other western artists on his painting “Wind swept Cypresses.” The prize-winning canvas is 24x31 inches, an excellent example of Pro fessor Schroff’s work. Those who saw his exhibit at the Eugene Chamber of Cbmnieree will remember it as being in opalescent blue-grays and greens, very fresh in coloring, but quieter than his sunny things—full of the force, spon taneity and vitality characteristic of his work. He did some work on it after the Eugene exhibit, but the spirit of the original sketch was retained. students ±taise money The annual exhibition at Springville, Utah, is in the nature of a community affair, and was begun in 1906 by the founding in that place of the first public school collection in the United States. The students themselves raise money for awards by entertainments, and it is customary jfor /the prize money to be regarded as the purchase price. There are now about 75 pict ures in a collection valued at over $200,000. Cyres E. Dallin, of Boston, Mass., who was born in Springville, was one of the early contributors, and gave statuettes of his “Medicine Man” and “Paul Revere.” John Hafen, father of Professor V. C. Hafen of the campus department of fine arts, was one of the first to give a painting as a nucleus of the collection. Many of the paintings have risen in value since their puc-hase, as much as-from $150 to $1500 after the death of the artist. A high standard of excellence is main tained throughout the collection. One year the prize-winning painting “Ma dame Y” had previously received a mention at the Salon in Paris. Local Men Contribute Professor V. O. Hafen won the: second prize last year and has had four of his paintings purchased by the school. The statue of a bison by Avard Fairbanks, professor of sculpture on this campus is in the collection. This is the second year that the ex hibit has been open to artists outside of the state of Utah. It was at the suggestion of Professor Hafen on the governing committee that it should be made a national affair. This change has been marked this year by Mr. Schroff winning for Oregon over art ists from New York City, Seattle, Washington, Denver, Colorado, Omaha, Nebraska, and many other places. PLEDGING ANNOUNCED Chi Omega announces the pledging of Mineta Leonard of Waitsburg, Wash, ■o FACULTY MEETS THIS AFTERNOON Fall Registration Dates May Be Decided At the regular meeting of the faculty this afternoon at 4:15 a report from the schedule committee will be heard on the dates for next year’s registration. Sev eral days will probably be needed for this process next year as registration i i to take place at one time for the entire year and an effort has been made to have the dates coincide with those of the opening of other colleges in this and neighboring states. A committee, composed of the mem bers of the regular schedule committee and a special committee on registration has prepared the report and will sub mit it for approval. The members of this committee are Dr. W. P. Boynton, Dr. J. D. Barnett, Carlton Spencer, Karl Onthank and Mrs. Clara Fitch, secretary. Another important consideration at this meeting will be the proposed five year course in architecture which El lis F. Lawrence, dean of the school, has drawn up and will present to the faculty. FLONZALEY QUARTET TO GIVE CONCERT IN EUGENE Affair Tuesday Evening Will Be Last of Series for Year The last concert of the University Greater Artists concert series will be given next Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock in the auditorium of the Methodist church when the Flonzaley Stringed Quartet appears under the auspices of the Associated Students of the Univer sity. Students will be admitted upon presentation of their student body tickets. The Plonzaley Quartet will ap pear for the first time in Eugene. They, are well known for their skill in the other cities of the United States and especially of the west coast. In addition to playing before met ropolitan audiences, the members of the Quartet have devoted a large measure of their time to appearances, exclusively before college and university commun ities. Proof of its success with the generation of college students, is its eleven visits to Harvard university ,and eleven appearances before the students of Princeton university, the University of Michigan, the University of Kansas, Yale university, and Smith college and many other smaller institutions. The Quartet is made up of Adolfo Betti, first violin, Alfred Pochon, sec ond violin, Louis Bailly, viola, and Iwan d ’Arehambeau, violoncello. The famous Quartet which has been in its present organized form for the past seven years, has appeared in Euro pean cities in the past season. Upon their appearance in London, the critics of the London Dail Express, paid the following tribute to the art of is mem bers: “A perfect quartet! The per formance of Hadyn’s Quartet in D would have been a revelation, had one not heard them play it before.” STUDENTS BANQUET The publie speaking classes of the Portland center held their annual ban quet at the Benson Hotel, Portland, April 6, under the direction of Helen Miller Senn. Abuot 250 members were present. Judge George Stapleton acted as toastmaster . Herbert Gordon spoke for the regents of the University, Earl Kilpatrick, for the Portland centei, and Miss Elnora Thomson on behalf of the faculty of the other departments. Several studentSj also made short speeches. • - . ■ Real Tobacco Leaf Smoker on Books for Men Saturday All the campus masculinity take note. The annual men’s smoker will be held in the new armory, Saturday April 14. Remember the date and the place and don’t get mixed up and steer your course towards the Woman’s building. As for the smoker, it ought to be a whizz, second to none in the annals of the University. The committee, headed by Claude Robinson, has been working overtime in an effort to put out something with a real punch to it— something that will keep the spectators on their toes throughout the evening. From start to finish the program is full lof clean-cut, wholesome amuse ment. Real boxing, vaudeville skits and musical numbers, beside eats, will round out the evening. Boxing will have an important place in the program. Devotees of the ring game will be in terested in knowing the Charlie Daw son of the University and Carl Miller, Eugene welterweight will exchange punches in a four-round main attrac tion. The men have met before and a lively bout can be expected. Besides this bout, Dawson has lined up three or four others between University and local talent. George King, in charge of the seating, announces that the basketball bleachers will be aranged so that everyone will have an unobstructed view of the ring and the stage. The seats will flank three sides of the ring and front the stage. Musical numbers of quality, and vau deville skits by several of the houses will be interspersed among the boxing events. In these numbers the best campus talent has been scured. Eats! Of course there will be eats, but Owen Callaway won’t divulge the nature of the feed that will be doled out to the men. The seating arrangmnt will make quick serving possible. Yes there will be smoking, because it’s a regular smoker. The committee wishes it to be known that the affair won’t be one of these “I’ll tag you and thn you chase me,” affairs. Eemember that Saturday at 7:45 all paths lead to the armory. ANNUAL MEETING OF REGENTS HELD DURUM Gift Campaign Is Endorsed; Governing Board Pledges Support to Plan DEAN OF WOMEN RESIGNS Miss Edgington Appointed to Fill Vacancy Until End of Present Year The board of regents of the Univer sity at their annual meeting Saturday unanimously passed a resolution to en dorse the University gift campaign for $10,000,000 in ten years. The regents also pledged Their support in every possible way to the present campaign. The resolution was presented by J. A. Churchill, state superintendent of schools, who pointed out the increasing necessity of educational facilities to meet the growing registration at the university, an increase amounting to an average annual growth of 16 per cent luring the past five years. The increase in high school attend ance from 8000 in 1913 to approximate ly 40,000 this year in view of the fact that 50 per cent of high school students go on to college is another proof of the need of the best educational opportun ities for the boys and girls of the state, according to Mr. Churchill. Commerce Instructor Namfcd Among appointments authorized and made by the board was that of Miss Grace Edgington, appointed as acting dean of women in place of Dean Eliz abeth Fox whose resignation was ac cepted; appointment of Dr. Will Goet tling as associate professor in the school of business administration; ap pointment of Dr. Lloyd Smail of the University of Washington as associate professor in mathematics; appointment of Mr. E. F. Carlton of Eugene as lecturer and field man in the exten sion division, and other appointments of graduate assistants and instructors to fill vacancies. The only addition to the teaching staff was that of a new professor of physical education in the men’s depart ment. The appointment was merely authorized, not definitely made. An increase of less han 1 per cent was made, in the payroll by action of the regents, despite the fact that on the basis of number of hours carried by the increased number of students the teaching burden will be 10 per cent greater next year. Heating Plant Replaced The building committee of the board was authorized to proceed at once with plans for the construction of a new heating plant replacing the present in adequate plant. The establishment of pre-library and pre-nursing curricula was authorized. These curricula will be created by the grouping of courses of study now taught in the University without the addition of new material. Regents present at the annual meet ing were: Judge J. W. Hamilton of Roseburg, president; Sam A. Kozer, secretary of state and Superintendent Churchill of Salem; C. C. Colt of Port land; A. C. Dixon and Charles H. Fisher of Eugene; C. E. Woodson, Hepner; V. H. Vawter, Medford and William S. Gilbert, Astoria. Hamilton Heads Board Judge Hamilton was re-elected presi dent, Charles C. Fisher was elected vice-president and L. H. Johnson, comptroller of the University, was elected secretary. The greater part of the session of the board was devoted to a discussion of the University’s gift campaign, Presi dent Campbell’s report to the regents emphasizing the necessity of raising funds to meet the growing registration with its increasing demands for proper housing and educational facilities. Needs of the University were sum marized by President Campbell as fol lows: “A library, a men’s gymnas sium, a fine arts building and museum, an infirmary, and the completion of the music building will all be pressing needs on the campus within the next five years. JANNEY8 HAVE SON Phillip Dean Janney, Jr., is the name of a young man who has lately arrived at the home of Professor Phillip Jan bey of the school of business adminis tration. Although Phil Junior weighs only nine pounds, and is but twelve days old, his father has already made extensive plans for his education and plans to put him through the certified public accountant exam before long, so that he can succeed his father at the accounting business.

WASHINGTON PROFESSOR TO JOIN MATH FACULTY Dr. Lloyd L. Small Appointed Asist ant Professor to succeed Miss Copenh&ver At the meeting of the board of re gents of the University which was held on April 7 on the campus Dr. Lloyd L. Smail, of the University of Washing ton, was appointed assistant professor of mathematics on the Oregon faculty. Dr. Smail has been connected with the faculty of Washington in the same capacity and he will succeed Miss Lu cile Copenhaver who was an instructor in the department until a year ago when she left for Chicago where she is doing graduate work in mathematics. During the absence of Miss Copen haver her work has been carried on by Bichard Eliot of the graduate school until an assistant to Professor E. E. De Cou, head of the department could be found. The appointment of Dr. Smail brings to the campus in September another man who has obtained hb Doctor’s degree at Columbia university | in New York. He has also published t articles extensively in mathematica ] journals of the country and has re cently appeared before the America! | Mathematical Society at San Franciscc 1 and delivered several papers on sub ' jects relating to his work. CO-ED WRITERS TO SELL DOUGHNUTS Theta Sigma Phi to Feed Starving Students Today—a day of fasting! And by tommorrow morning tlio stud- j ents’ faces will be wan and emaciated, and they will look unbelievably—incon- ! eeivably—hungry. Another war has i not come upon the world, nor has all the food in tho campus larders been sent to the starving Armenians. No, nothing of the sort, but merely prepar ation for tomorrow, the day'of feast ing. Just so has Theta Sigma Phi, women’s national journalistic fraternity, in jected a change into the campus pro gram. For Theta Sigma Phi is going to provide more of those delicious doughnuts which only Theta Sigma Phi knows how to produce. Every where, on Thursday, will tho students be met with huge baskets of them—nice warm ones, doughnuts which have crowded out their holes in swelling up from pride over their perfection. ARMY OFFICIALS WILL REMIT. UNIT Distinguished College Rating May Be Recommended The University B. O. T. C. unit will be inspected with a view to recommendation for distinguished college rating April 19 to 21, according to word received at the military department yesterday. Majors H. T. Bull and Balph W. Kingman will be the inspecting officers, and will review every phase of military work here. “Beginning today extra drill periods will be held from 4 to 5:30 o’clock,” states Colonel W. S. Sinclair, command ant, “and all cadets are expected to re port at this time. Time put in by the students will be deducted from drill and class periods after April 21.” Although the University military de partment has been commended several times for the efficient work done by the students, rerommendation for distinguish ed rating has never been made by official inspection officers. This is chiefly due to lack of equipment at the barracks. “ If the Oregon men show the spirit for which the school is famous,” said Major H. L. Jordan, of the ninth corps area, who made an unofficial inspection of the unit here last fall, “the battallion will have no trouble in obtaining distinguished rating.” Colonel Sinclair is also confident that the men are capabale of earning this coveted rating, and says, “ I want every I man out for drills from now on until the inspection. If we all work together there is no reason why we can’t place with the leading units of the West.” Two changes in the personnel of the department were also announced by Col onel Sinclair. E. E. Walker, holding the rank of captain, has been detailed as sistant to Colonel Sinclair, and Captain John T. Murray has been assigned the position in the department now held by Lieutentant M. E. Knowles. Captain Walker served with the Oregon National Guard for several years, and is at present stationed in Hawaii. Captain Murray will come here from Texas. These men will report next September. Several new phases of military work will be taken up this term, according to Colonel Sinclair, and the aim of the de partment will be to make the work inter esting to the students as well as instruc tive. MISS WATSON ENGAGED The engagement of Miss Mary Watson of the English department to Walter C. Barnes, professor of History, was an nounced Monday vening at the Pi Beta house, of which Miss Watson is a mem ber. sunn FOR BULL SQUAD NEXT WEEK More than 40 Candidates on Hand For Initial Work Outs of Season PITCHING STAFF IS WEAK Lettermen for Every Place Return; Last Year’s Frosh Practicing Varsity baseball aspirants to the number of 40 or more had their first practice of the season on Cemetery Ridge field Monday afternoon. Coach Bohler put the squad through some stiff batting and fielding practice and tried out a number of prospective in field combinations before ‘the session was over. Rain spoiled all attempts to workout during spring vacation and the result is that Oregon’s diamond art ists must work doubly hard to be ini readiness for the opening games of the conference schedule here with Idaho April 20 and 21. Lack of consistent and dependable twirlers still looms as the one big weak ness in this year’s nine. Unless last year’s pitchers show a world of im provement the Lemon-Yellow will have a hard time winning any contests from the other well fortified conference nines. O. A. C., Washington, W. S. C. and Idaho are all reported as strong in the mound department this year. The present staff of hurlers consists of Lefty Baldwin, Doug Wright, Bill Col lins and Phil Ringle of last year’s nine, and Skinner and Branneman of the 1922 frosh team. Wright in Outfield Coach Bohler is experimenting with Wright in the outfield and may use him there as he is a fairly good sticker. Branneman has not turned out yet and there is doubt as to his being up to thg scholastic requirements. The'other four put in some hard licks during the first practice. Outside of the pitching department Oregon shows up quito favorably with lettermen back for every position and a host of others offering stiff competition for them. Ward Johnson and Watson, two catchers on last year’s squad and Orr and Cook of the Frosh squad com prise the backstop material. Infielders Are Many In the infield Coach Bohler has sev eral possible combinations to choose from. Terry Johnson, last year’s first sacker failed to make his grades but in Monday night’s session Bohler used Hunk Latham at first. The tall boy looked sweet in that corner, and it is likely that he will remain there throughout the season. Jimmy Ross seems the most likely candidate for the second base position from the way he cavorted around the keystone sack Monday. Collis Moore, who hurt his leg and was prevented from finishing the season last year, is making a strong bid for the shortpatch, while Svar varude who played third base for the varsity two years ago is back for that position. However none of these boys is sure of his position, says Bohler, and all will have keen competion from last year’s frosh. Price Sullivan and Troutman are both strong possibilities for the infield as is Earl Shafer, the basketball guard who played baseball whilo at Willamette. Outfield Has Lettermen Bill Sorsby, Don Zimmerman, and Lynn Roycroft are the lettermen in (Continued on page three.) o--—--* Campus Dull During Easter Vacation; Left-Overs Work Thursday the exodus began and by Saturday the campus was practically deserted. Students and faculty left a dreary, deserted group of buildings behind them, and went away somewhere to forget the grind for a week. Perusers having evacuated, the li brary became a rather useless stack of books. The librarians took an extra hour’s sleep in the mornings and the building was closed in the evenings and on Sundays. The Co-op likewise suffered from a light trade, cut down the opening hours and took 60 minutes off for lunch. The dining halls at Friendly and Hendricks halls closed for the week, and the dormitory dwellers who stayed over patronized the Eugene restaurants. The nearest thing to a between-class rush that brok the solitude of Easter vacation happened three times a day when the Friendly bunch marched down town to feed. At least one eating house threw up the sponge when the University moved, and closed up for the week. Everyone who stayed over worked. There wasn't anything else to do. A few wouldn't say 'nough and spent their time studying; baseball enhu siasts who are turning out for the var sity nine practiced every afternoon on the diamond on tho Ridge. The Y. M. C. A. tried to supply those who had slim pocket books with jobs and the University employed quite a number washing windows and cleaning up around the new buildings. Jack Bene fiel used some to get the baseball field ready. The week was the scene of the term cleanup and paintup around the houses. Loyal brothers who couldn't go home amused themselves painting porches and woodwork, waxng floors and rak ing up the backyard. The favorite vacation sport wa3 practiced as usual. Nervous frosh made hourly visits to the Ad building Monday morning after Easter to see if the scandal sheet was out yet. Sev eral professors left town immediately after exams to escape the curious.
