Other Schools
VARSITY WILL MEET R|ED
Portland and Eugene Firms
Offer Prizes; Loving Cup
Up For Victor
The first regular golf tournament,
leading toward intercollegiate competi
tion and a University championship will
be staged on the links of the Eugene
country club starting Saturday. The
first part of the tourney will be a qual
ifying round which will last until April
23 and in which any regularly regis
tered under-graduate golfer may enter.
Begular score cards may be secured
from “Tod” Gardner, the “pro” at the
Club, and then on the basis of the
scores made in the qualifying round
entrants will be shunted into one of the
three elimination flights to be held
after the completion of the qualifying
round on April 23. The championship
flight and three elimination flights will
be run off between April 23 and May
6 on which date a meet is scheduled
with Reed college in Portland.
Any student may enter tne tourna
ment for an entry fee of 25 cents and
through the courtesy of Portland and
Eugene merchants substantial prizes
will be offered to the men making the
best scores in each flight of the elim
ination rounds and the championship
flight. Honeyman Hardware contri
buted two-dozen golf balls, Meier and
Frank two clubs, and Lipman Wolfe
and Co., two clubs. According to Bill
Swindells, recently appointed member
of the golf committee at a meeting of
the golf enthusiasts, the local merchants
are providing funds to purchase a large
silver loving cup to be awarded the
winner of the championship flight.
Reed Meet Slated
Following the meet with Reed college
May 6 it is likely that the varsity
golfers will compete in an inter-col
legiate tournament which the Univer
sity of Washington, where golf is firm
ly established, is anxious to establish as
an annual event. If the tournament is
held this year it will probably be held
on either the Waverly or Muncipal links
iu Portland.
The golf committee, composed of Am
brose Cronin, chairman, Bill Swindells
and Don Goodrich, anticipates a large
number of entries in the tournament
as the matches can be arranged between
the entrants to suit their own time pro
vided only their scores are properly
put down on the regular cards and
that all play be finished in the quali
fying round by April 23.

New Thoroughfares to be
Constructed on Campus
Wide Concrete Walk to Be Placed from Thirteenth
Street to Art Buildings and Road North
of Quadrangle to Be Closed . .
A plan to close the road through
the campus, providing for the laying
out of a new road and concrete walk
has been approved by the building and
improvement committee of the board of
regents. A proposal of the city engin
eer of Eugene to level a portion of the
field west of the Administration build
ing and furnish gravel for a parking
place is under consideration. This
would only be done by the city of Eu
gene as a safety measure, on the con
dition that the driveway west of the
Administration building be widened,
and parking be discontinued along Thir
teenth street, probably between Kin
caid and University streets.
The change is to meet the increase
in the number of people using the cam
pus—a number which approximates in
all about 3000 a day. The consequent
danger of a large number of automo
biles and too few foot-paths is evident.
The road starting from Eleventh
street, running south-east between Vil
lard and Deady halls, and along the
east side of the quadrangle will be
closed to traffic, thus eliminating dan
ger especially at the curve around Vil
ard crossing the walk.
The new walks will be laid out fo
lowing for the most part the road with
in the quadrangle. A concrete walk,
possibly 9 feet wide will be placed
from Thirteenth street to the Architec.
ture and Allied Arts building, follow
ing approximately the present wooden
walk, though extending its width to
the east. Between the architecture
building and Yillard the curve of the
road will be preserved, though it will
be narrowed to pedestrian needs. It
will be of gravel, at least for the pres
ent. There will be a slight change made
in the walk north of Deady adjusting
it to the system of walks.
These operations are all to be con
ducted according to block plans ap
proved several years ago for the grow
ing University. A road, too, will be run
from Eleventh street south between the
schools of business administration and
law, bisecting the walk from Deady to
Kincaid street. This may take some
time, since the work of the walks is
to be begun in a few weeks and contin
ued through the summer.
A road along the north side of the
campus would be possible if the rail
road could give 15 feet of its 30-foot
right of way. A substantial railing
would have to be run between the road
and the tracks as a protective measure,
and 5 feet of the university land to the
south of the right of way used as well.
The only conditions under which this
road could be built would be such an
arrangement with the railroad, since

NEW POWER HOUSE TO
BE CONSTRUCTED SOON
Other Minor Changes Planned
Before Fall Term
A large power house which will cost
approximately $75,000 is the next cam
pus building to be constructed. Ellis
F. Lawrence of the school of archi
ttret'lte has charge of the plans of the
building, which will be ready for con
tract bids soon. The building will be
located opposite the present Architec
ture building where the extension and
domestic art building now stands. The
extension building will'be moved where
the post-office and infirmary for con
tagious diseases are. The post-office
will be changed to the basement of the
extension building. The basement will
be made higher to provide ample light
and room for the post-office and store
room, says L. H. Johnson, comptroller.
The new building, according to Mr.
Johnson, will furnish boiler room for
20 years. There will be two 250 h. p.
boilers and one of 150 h. p. capacity
all of which will burn hog fuel, which
is ground up wood or oil, and in case
of emergency the boilers are so arrang
ed that cord wood can be used. A per
manent repair and carpenter shop will
be installed in the building.
Construction will be started before
June 1 and the plant will probably be
in operation before the opening of
school in the fall, Mr. Johnson be
lieves.
There will probably be no other
buildings started this year as there
are only funds in sight to complete this
building. A library, auditorium, and
science building are greatly needed,
but at present there are no hopes for
them. The heating plant was a neces
sity as the old one would have been in
sufficient to heat the University build
ings in case of severe cold weather such
as that during the cold spell this past
winter when the Oregon building was
not heated for several mornings.
The building occupied by the old
heating plant will be converted into
space for use by the architecture de
partment. Considerable remodeling
will be necessary but when the work is
completed it will provide much addi
tional room for the architectural work.
SOPHOMORES WILL DANCE
Brilliant Bovine Ball to be Held at
Dreamland Hall Friday Night
The sophomore class will entertain
with a barn dance next Friday night,
April 20. The dance is to be held at
Dreamland hall and the music will be
furnished by Jack Myers’ Mid-nite
Sons.
The girls will wear gingham dresses
and the boys will be attractively at
tired in overalls or any other appro
priate garb. The dance will be a
no-date affair, and will be open to
sophomores only.
Further details of the Big Barn
Brawl will be published in Friday’s
Emerald.
PLE DOINGS ANNOUNCED
Alpha Xi Delta announces the pledg
ing of Augusta Hamilton of Astoria
and Jennie MacNiven of Portland.
MINOR CHANGES MADE
IN STAFF OF EMERALD
Four Added To Personnel Of
Daily’s Upper Group
First changes in the Emerald staff
this term were made yesterday when the
personnel of both the upper and lower
staffs was slightly altered. Don Wood
ward, who was assisting with Oregana
work last term, has again taken his place
in the daily news editor group, while
Florine Packard, one of the daily news
editors, has been appointed Pacific In
tercollegiate News Service editor. Ed
ward Carleton has taken the place of
Ed Valitchka as night editor. Valitchka
was forced to leave school near the end
of the winter term on account of ill
health. Freda Goodrich, who took Wood
ward’s place last term, will remain a
news editor.
Kenneth Cooper, member of the Emer
ald staff last year, has been added to
the sports staff and will assist with the
baseball write-ups . Monte Byers, one of
the feature writers of the daily, is also
writing sport stories this spring. A1
Trachman is busied with other work at
present and has been temporarily relieved
from Emerald work.
Jeanne Gay, a member of the staff last
fall, is again working for the Emerald.
Miss Gay was out of school during the
winter term. George Belknap has been
added to the news staff. Few changes
have been made in the news staff at this
time, but in a week or two several re
porters will be added and a few will be
taken off, according to Phil Brogan, man
aging editor. A few of the group are
too busy with college work to assist in
news gathering and these students will
be taken off to make room for reporters
who are making good now. There will
likely be two changes made in the staff
personnel before the end of the year, ac
cording to the editors. James Leake has
been added to» the group of advertising
assistants on the business staff.
Douglas Wilson, a member of the news
staff last term, is not back in school this
term.

FLOAT COMMITTEE
Organizations Again To Join
In Decoration of Canoes
For Week-end Event
WINNERS TO RECEIVE CUPS
Plans To Be Discussed At
Directorate Meeting In
Commerce Building
The float committee of the canoe
fete committee met yesterday and drew
names to determine which organiza
tions will work together in preparing
floats for the colorful event of the an
nual junior festivities. This commit
tee is composed of Ed Haney, chair
man, Betty Garrett and Freda Good
rich.
As the result of the drawing the
following houses will cooperate: Delta
Gamma and Sigma Nu; Alpha Delta
Pi and S. A. E.; Kappa Kappa Gamma
and Alpha Beta Chi; Tau Nu and Chi
Psi; Alpha Xi Delta and Phi Gamma
Delta; Chi Omega and Delta Theta Phi;
Kappa Alpha Theta and Alpha Tau
Omega; Hendricks hall and Bachelor
don; Thacher Cottage and Phi Kappa
Psi; Alpha Phi and Beta Theta Pi; Pi
Beta Phi and Sigma Chi; Alpha Chi
Omega and Friendly hall; Susan Camp
bell hall and Phi Delta Theta; Gamma
Phi Beta and Kappa Sigma; Delta Del
ta Delta and Kappa Delta Pi; Alpha
Sigma and Delta Tau Delta; Delta
Zeta and Phi Sigma Pi; Girls’ Oregon
Club and Men’s Oregon Club.
Two Cups Offered
Two cups are offered for the winning
float, one going to the women’s house
and one to the mens ’. These cups are
now held by Pi Beta Phi and Phi Sigma
Pi, last year’s winners.
Names of this year’s floats must be
in to Chairman Haney at Friendly hall
before May 1, according to the edict
of the committee. This i3 because the
names must be printed n the program
of the week-end. Houses are asked
to limit their expense to $25 and to
keep their floats within reason as to
height and width. Only two canoes
may be used in making any one float.
Seat Construction Off
That no seats will be constructed on
the other side of the race from thg
anchorage was decided by the commit
tee. This will mean that floats will have
to be decorated on one side only, as
in years past.
Plans for special lighting effects for
the mill race and for new musical fea
tures are being considered by the com
mittee and will be brought up at the
directorate meeting at 4:30 in the Com
merce building Thursday.
SENIORS MOVE IN FAVOR
OF ANNUAL CAMPUS DAY
Class Demonstrates Against Dropping
Traditional Event From Program
of Junior Week-end
The first official action against the
elimination of Campus Day from the
program of Junior Week-end came last
night in the form of a resolution by the
senior class to the student council.
Unanimously the seniors decried the
movement to displace the tradition of
Campus Day, declaring it essential to
Junior Week-end. It was pointed out
that the holiday is granted chiefly for
the purpose of the Campus Cleanup and
if some other activity should take its
place there might be no reason for a
respite from classwork.
The matter will be brought before
the student council at its meeting on
April 25, it was announced. The change
was proposed recently by the Junior
Week-end committee of the junior
class. Opposition to the proposal has
been voiced by the Emerald and other
student agencies, with the result that
it will be taken to the student council
for settlement.
Discussion of the advisability of mak
ing an effort to have members of other
classes remain in Eugene for gradua
tion exercises was undertaken. It was
suggested that the seniors favor early
examinations, but it was decided that
the only action would be to invite all
other students to stay over.

SPIRITS BLAMED
IN CAN MYSTERY
Sherbet and Fruit Taken
from Back Porch
The wooden container and the can
top of the freezer have been found, but
the whereabouts of the can is still a
mystery. These articles, along with
some fruit and sherbet, disappeared
from the Woman’s building some time
Saturday, following the initiation cere
mony of Phi Beta Kappa.
You can’t guess whero the container
and top were found. In the graveyard
and who’d think it. You can’t tell
what these spirits will do nowadays.
No doubt the departed souls decided to
celebrate the, initiation of a pledge
into the order of Mouldy Bones, or the
Breathless Hereafter, so spying the
freezer and sherbet on the back porch,
they sallied forth from their retreat
and purloined it. Then they must have
gone back to their silent sanctuary
and held a bacchanalian feast in the
shadows of the tombstones.
Mrs. Wilson, in charge of the build
ing, is anxious to get the rest of the
freezer as soon as possible and' asks
that it be delivered as soon as the cul
prit can do so. She says that they are
welcome to the sherbet and the fruit if
they will only return the can.
So if you see a spirit running around
loose armed with the can bounce him
and take the can or else send him with
the can to the kitchen as soon as you
can.

To Be Soloists; Program Planned
For April 27, in Vlllard
The University Symphony Orchestra
is to give its annual home concert Fri
day, April 27, directed by Rex Under
wood, of the school of music.
One of the special features of the

school of music, accompanied by the
orchestra. Alberta Potter, violin, is
also to be one of the soloists, playing

Severla new things will be included in
opera—first suite from “Carmen,”
Bizet, and parts of “Papliacci,” Leon

ELECTIONS THREE
WEEKS III OFFING
Whisperings About Probable
Candidates For Campus
Offices Detected
17 POSTS MUST BE FILLED
Rumor Says That Amendments
Will Be Put Up At Time
of Spring Balloting
Although: nominations for student
officers are two weeks distant the
political bee is beginning to buzz. Hu
mor and political gossip are soon to
be the chief topics of conversation, as
May 3 has been set for the annual nom
ination of officers and May 9 for elec
tion.
No public announcement has been
made by any potential candidate so
far, but it is buzzed here and there
that none of the more important posi
tions will be lacking in early season
material. Year by year the contest for
student officers, council positions and
other jobs become more interesting be
cause of the greater abundance of pros
pects. It is expected that announce
ments will be made by those anxious to
be first in the field during the early
part of next week. Candidates usually
signify their intentions during the week
preceding nominations, although last
minute declarations by dark horses are
not uncommon.
Interest In Presidency
Chief interest will center about the
presidency of the A. S. TJ. O., the vice
presidency, the secretaryship, and the
editorial chair of the Oregon Daily
Emerald. Early predictions mean
little, but from all indications there
will bo several contestants for each
position.
The Yell King’s position will prob
ably have a number of aspirants since
a recent amendment to the student con
stitution gives him a position on the
student council. This is the only change
in the constitution, which will have any
effect on the selection of student of
ficers.
Robinson Ho Ida Over
The only man who will hold over
for next year is Claude Robinson, at
present junior man on the executive
council. Robinson was appointed some
time ago to fill out the two year term
left vacant by the resignatin of Duteh
Gram. Other positions on the execu
tive council to be filled are a senior
woman for a one-year term and a jun
ior man for a two-year term.
Student council members which are
to be elected are three senior men,
two senior women, two junior men, one
junior woman and one sophomore man.
The race for Oregana editor is tradi
tionally interesting.
In all probability there will be sever
al amendments brought up for student
vote at the time of the regular elec
tion, according to Owen Callaway, vice
president and chairman of the student
council committee on amendments.
Proposals to change the constitution
may be read at the time of nomina
tions and voted upon election day. It
has been announced that proposed
amendments should be submitted to the
student oouncil as soon as possible, if
they are to be acted upon this spring.
The constitution provides that a can
didate may be nominated by petition
within two days after the regular nom
inations, upon the signature of 50 per
sons.
The officers who are elected are to
be installed early in June, according to
John MacGregor, president of the A. 8.

Y. W.C. A. MEETS THURSDAY
Installation of New Officers, Cabinet
and Oouncil Members To Be Held
The first general association meeting
of the Y. W. C. A. for the spring term,
will be held at 5 p. m., Thursday in the
Bungalow. The installation of the new
officers, cabinet and council members
will be the important business to be
taken up. A report on the cabinet
conference held at Corvallis the last
week-end will also be read. Mrs. George
Bohler, Miss Dorothy Collier, and eight
University women were the campus
delegates to that conference.
Tea will be served Thursday evening
and a musical program to be announced
later, will be given.
HAWAII WANTS TEACHER
The President of Punahou school of
Oahu college, Honolulu, Hawaii, has
written to the school of education, ask
ing assistance in securing a domestic
science teacher. The school has en
larged its domestic arts department,
and wants some capable teacher to
take charge of it.
Any students wishing further details
should call the information bureau at
the education bureau or see Professor
C. A| Gregory there.
