ANNUAL CAMPAIGN
UNDER IT WITH
FOUR ASPIRANTS
No Candidates Yet Announced
For Office of President
of Student Body
FRASER IS OUT FOR EDITOR
Velma Farnham for Secretary;
Freda Goodrich, Margaret
Skavlan for Oregana
It is not probable that candidates for
president of the A. S. U. O. will be
scarce, but as yet no aspirants for the
position have announced themselves.
Rumors are plentiful and prospects
seem equally plentiful. It is expected
that one or more of the contenders for
the chief executive’s position will
throw his hat in the ring within a day
or two.
The annual campaign is fairly under
way, however, with the announcement
of Edwin Fraser for the editorship of
the Oregon Daily Emerald, Velma Farn
ham for the secretaryship of the stu
dent body, and Freda Goodrich and
Margaret Skavlan for the head of the
Oregana.
Speculation on the possibilities for
the presidency of the associated stu
dents runs high, but there is nothing
more than rumor to substantiate any
of those mentioned. James Meek, who
m has been continually talked of as a
possible contender, has as yet made
no statement. Another who has been
mentioned is Claude Robinson. Robin
son is also silent in regard to throw
ing his hat in the ring. Art Rosebraugh,
when interviewed by an Emerald re
porter last’ night, characterized talk of
his candidacy as mere gossip. “It’s
the first I had heard of it,” said Rose
braugh.
Fraser’s Hat m King
Edwin Fraser, who has declared his
intention of running for editor of the
Emerald, is at present sports editor of
the paper. He has served two years
on the sports staff of the publication
and is a junior in the school of journal
ism. He is a member of Sigma Delta
Chi, professional journalistic fraternity
-and of Kappa Sigma.
Other contenders for the editorial
position are not at all unlikely and in
all probability more candidates will be
anounced today or tomorrow. The
race for the head of the daily is al
ways an interesting one, due to the
abundance of material. A four-cornered
race had been considered a possibility,
but it is not at all certain at the pres
ent time.
Velma Farnham, the first candidate
for the office of secretary of the stu
dent body, is now editor of the Ore
gano. Miss Farnham has been active
on the publications while in college
and was on the Emerald staff before
her duties on the Oregana took so much
of her time. She is a junior and is a
member of Kwama, Tre Nu, Theta Sig
ma Phi and Gamma Phi Beta.
Two Out for Oregana
A race for the editorship of the Ore
gano is assured by the entrance of two
candidates in the race. Freda Good
rich, the first to declare her intentions,
is a major in journalism and has been
a member of the staff of the Oregana
this year. She has been on the staff
of the Emerald for two years and this
year acted as daily news editor. She
is a member of Theta Sigma Phi, wo
men’s! journalistic fraternity, Sigma
Delta Pi, and Alpha Chi Omega.
Margaret Skavlan, who announced
her candidacy late last night, has also
worked on the staff of the Emerald
for two years and the staff of the Ore
gana one year. She has been identified

OREGON - O. A. C.
HOLD TUG-O-WAR
Strange Teams Used in
Corvallis Contest
Once, perhaps, the tug-of-war was
listed among the inter-collegiate sports
indulged in at Oregon, but it long ago
died out. From O. A. C., the other
day, though, came news that the sport
has been revived, and that already sev
eral contests between the school down
the valley and the University of Ore
gon have been fought out. The an
nouncement will be a surprise to close
followers of Oregon’s fortunes on the
athletic fields, but it seems that the col
lege was represented by proxy.
The tugs took place, not on the O.
A. C. football field, before cheering
crowds, but in an O. A. C. poultry yard,
before a class in chicken raising. And
the contestants—were thoroughbrads
from the poultry farm.
Each member of the class is raising
a batch of chicks in an experiment. It
being essential that those belonging to
different students not get mixed, Dia
mond dyes were used to solve the prob
lem, and the yard blossomed out like
a seed catalogue.
Certain prospective poultry farmers
devised the scheme of painting their
babies Lemon-yellow, and Orange and
Black.
Immediately the chicks became sat
urated with Oregon Spirit and Beaver
fight, respectively, and the first an
gleworm that wandered into the yard
was drafted into duty as the rope for
a tug-of-war. As yet all struggles have
been impromtu, and no record has been
kept of the results.
YE TABARD INN EXCELLS
OTHER NATIONAL UNITS
Literary Fraternity Produces
Many Prominent Writers
—
Sigma Upsilon, national honorary lit
erary fraternity, recognizes Ye Tabard
Inn, Oregon chapter of the organization,
as the most active unit of the fratern
ity in the United States. “The whole
fraternity is interested in the work of
Ye Tabard Inn,” writes E. J. Erwin,
president of Sigma Upsilon, in a letter
to Gene Whitten, head of the local chap
ter. “More than any other chapter, Yg
Tabard Inn has succeeded in sending out
men who have achieved things in the lit
erary world,” said Mr. Erwin, who is so
interested in the Oregon chapter he has
asked Whitten to compile a history of the
organization. This information will be
passed on to the other chapters for mu
tual aid.
Ye Tabard Inn was installed on the
Oregon campus as a chapter of the na
tional organization in October, 1915, and
sincg that time W. F. G, Thacher, pro
fessor in the department of English and
instructor in journalism, has been large
ly instrumental in directing the activi
ties of the group of writers. One of the
charter members was Edison Marshall,
who in recent years has won national rec- j
ognition as an author of short stories and
novels. Charles Alexander, of Albany, a
writer who sells his stories to some of
the best known magazines in America, is
an honorary member of thg local group,
grnest Haycox, one of the active mem
bers, is now writing for national publi
cations. Robert Case is another former
Oregon student, a member of Ye Tabard
Inn, who is in the writing game. Wilkie J
Collins, former instructor at Oregon who
has written several books, is an honor
ary member of the University chapter
also. Many of the members are engagd
in magazine and newspaper work at 1
present.
Faculty members of Ye Tabard Inn
are W. F. G. Thacher and Melvin Solve.
The student members are Leith Abbott,
Phil'Erogan, Monte Byers, Harold Evansi'

Golf Proves Attractive Sport
To University Girls9 Gym Class
By Mary Lou Burton
Probably at some time in her life
every woman on the campus has gazed
at a golf girl on the cover of the Sat
urday Evening Post, with her skirts
blowing gracefully in the wind, with
her becoming sport hat and sport shoes,
and a bag of golf sticks slung nonchal
antly over one shoulder; and every girl
has, in her inmost heart, considered
that she herself would look rather pic
turesque in golf togs. Perhaps she has
even gone further and seen visions of
herself being presented with a trophy
at some tournament, the green field
sunshiny behind her, and a group of
admiring friends forming a semi-circle
in front.
Playing golf, however, requires some
thing more than good looking golf
stockings. It requires persistence and
time, and enthusiasm, and money, and
many are those who have fallen by the
wayside in their good intentions to
take up this sport. However, there are
always a number who have energy
enough to stick, and at present 18 girls
are taking golf for credit, according
to Carolyn Cannon, who teaches sports
in the women’s physical education de
partment. These girls practice in the
men’s gymnasium under the direction
of Meryl Shaver, and play at the Eu
gene Country Club once a week.
The Country Club has made a special
ruling concerning students, wl*o are con
sidered out of town guests. This means
that by paying a green fee of 50 cents
each time, the students have the priv
ilege of playing on the course, a privi
lege which is usually confined to mem
bers of the club.
Should other University women de
sire to take up this really splendid ex
ercise, says Miss Cannon, they can have

JUKI CLASS TO
LAUNCH PUBLICITY
CAMFAICNTONIGH1
Mysterious Stunt Promised by
Varsity Vanities Manager;
Fun in Store
WEEK-END REPORT BOOKED
Question of Campus Clean-up
. Also Likely to be Brought
Up at Meeting
Members of the Junior class arg des
tined to get a thrill and perhaps a few
laughs tonight when the mystery feature
of the Varsity Vanities advertising cam
paign will be aired by the committee
in charge at the first Junior class meet
ing of the new term, scheduled for 7:15
in Villard hall.
“This stunt is different from anything
that has been tried on the campus and
we want the wholehearted cooperation of
the class in making it a success,” said
Ted Baker, vanities manager.
The Vanities' show is developing into
a work of professional excellence, ac
coring to campus critics who have viewed
it. Considerable attention has been at
traced on the campus by the presentation
of several of the songs from Imogene
Letcher’s “Mummy Mine” musical come
dy. The fact that, an Oregon girl has
achieved such a success in this line of
work has obtained considerble press
comment in the newspapers of the north
west.
In addition to the divulging of the
advertising stunt the class will discuss
various phases of Junior week-end and
Doug Farrell, general chairman, will make
| a report to the class on the progress of
the plans. There will probably be an air
ing of the campus clean-up question. An
opportunity will be given for both the
traditionalists and the group wanting the
clean-up eliminated from the campus day
to express their views.
Reports indicate that a large number
of high school students have already sig
nified their intention of visiting the
campus during Junior week-end, May 18
and 19. The committee in charge have
every item of prepartion well in hand
and the chairman is exceptionally anxi
ous that the class as a whole know exact
ly what has been done in order to assure
complete class support.

Lorna Coolidge to Star in

Cupid-Plugged Professor in Play Seeks Shelter

I.
Lorna Coolidge whose last
successful appearance was
made in “Come Out of the
Kitchen,” will play the part
of Lucy White in “The Pro
fessor’s Love Story,” James
Barrie’s comedy, which will
be produced by the Univer
sity Company and Professor
Fergus Reddie on Wednesday,
Thursday, and Saturday
nights of this week. The title
role will be played by Mr.
Reddie, and Charlotte Ban
field will take the part of
Agnes, the sister.
The play is rich in comedy,
rich in human feeling, and
technically perfect. It is on
the same high level of artistry
that has marked the Guild
Hall productions and the work
of the University Department
of Drama and the Speech
Arts. The last play, La Mal
querida by Benevente was a
decided step forward in at
tempt and a higher level gain
ed in achievement.
The story of the professor is not
an unusual one but is unusual in its
treatment. The professor, failing in
health supposedly, in love in reality,
decides to leave the town for a rest
and all unknowing takes the object of
his affections and the cause of his

ORCHESTRA WILL GIVE
Leading Campus Musicians To
Be On Classical Program
The University of Oregon Symphony
Orchestra will appear in its annual
Home concert at Villard hall at 8:15
next Friday, in a program of classical
selections. The soloists appearing with
the orchestra are Miss Alberta Potter,
violinist, and Mr. George Hopkins,
pianist.
During the Easter vacation the or
chestra toured the Coos Bay country,
playing five towns. This is the second
trip that the orchestra has made to
the harbor, the first one being three
years ago. The last trip was very suc
cessful, all the newspapers of the har
bor speaking favorably of the orches
tra’s performance.
University students in all the towns
were active in creating interest in the
concerts, and large audiences attended
each performance. The orchestra more
than made expenses on the trip. At
each town where the organization ap
peared, students and friends threw open
their homes, so that ample accomoda
tions were furnished for the care of the
members of the orchestra. The people
in all the towns showed an excellent
spirit in their relations with the stu
dents comprising the personnel of the
orchestra.
This is the fourth annual trip that
the orchestra has made. Besides the
two trips to Coos Bay towns, the or
chestra has also toured Southern Ore
gon, and last year made a very success
ful trip through Eastern Oregon and
Southern Washington. The trip to the
harbor this year included Marshfield,
Bandon, Coquille, Myrtle Point and
Beedsport.
Mms Alberta Potter, violinist, has
made four trips with the orchestra as
soloist* an<J has received admirable
press notices wherever she has appear
ed. The Portland Oregonian has pub
lished a very favorable criticism of her
work. For the Home Concert she will
play the “Fantasie Appasionato” of
Vieuxtemps.
All of the selections on the program
are new to the campus and some of
them are very difficult. The “Con
certo in B-minor” by Ste. Saens, for pi
ano forte and orchestra, is especially
difficult, having most complex rhythm.
This composition requires for its prop
er rendition the use of two pianos in
addition to the orchestra, a combination
which is very unusual.
“Carmen Suite No. 1,” by Bizet, and
selections from the “Firefly,” by Friml
and “Pagliacci,” by Leoncavallo, com
prise the rest of the orchestra part of
the program. A string trio will also be
a feature of the concert.
Tickets for the concert next Friday
night may be obtained for 75 cents at
the Eugene music store, Kuykendall’s
drug store, or the Co-op.
ANNOUNCEMENT
Meeting of Organization represen
tatives Wednesday evening at 4:15 in
the office in the Men’s Gymnasium to
discuss changes in intramural program.
MUSIC PROGRAM WILL
TAKE ASSEMBLY HOUR
Solos, Glee Club Selections,
and Stunt Included
A much-anticipated event of the year
is the annual musical assembly given
by the school of music of the Univer
sity, which will occur on Thursday
morning at the regular hour in Villard
hall. The feature of the program will
be the stunt to be put on by the mem
bers of Delta Gamma, a repitition of
their April Frolic act, entitled “The
Ton Million.” Other featuros of the
program will be songs by the men’s
and women’s Glee clubs and solos by
Joanna James and Aubrey Furry of
the school of music, as well as a se
lection by the quartet of the men’s
Glee club.
The assembly program has been ar
ranged by John Stark Evans, profes
sor in the school of music. The names
have not yet been announced, but will
appear later. Delta Gamma will give
the first number on the program and
is sure to draw a crowd of enthusiastic
girls who saw it at the April Frolic,
and of curious men—among those who
did not attend the Frolic. It is an
original and artistic presentation of the
idea of the $10,000,000 gift campaign
and includes a number of gay and uni
que costumes and songs.
This stunt will be followed by sev- 1
oral numbers by the women’s Glee club,
including songs whch they featured on
their recent successful trip during
spring vacation throughout the south
ern part of the state. A solo by Jo
anna James will follow the group num
bers and conclude the part taken by
the women in the program.
The Men’s Glee club promises several
interesting selections which will not be
repeated at their home concert to be
given in several weeks. They will be
followed by a solo by Aubrey Furry.
The program will be ended by a selec
tion given by the quartet of the Men’s
Glee club.
FIRST GAME LOST
TO IDAHO SOUAD
BT SCORE OF 4-3
Seventh Inning Rally Results
in Four Runs; Many Errors
Made by Oregon
FITZKE PITCHES NICE GAME
Second Contest of Series Will
Be played This Afternoon
on Kincaid at 4
Hard luck coupled with a flock of er
rors in the seventh inning cost Oregon the
first baseball gamo of the season
against Idaho yesterday afternoon, the
score finally standing four to three for
the Vandals. All four tallies came in
their part of the seventh, which has al
ways been considered the lucky inning
for the Lemon-Yellow tossers.
Hunk Latham livened things consider
ably in the Oregon half of the seventh
by cracking the second ball that Idaho
Pitcher Fitzke offered, for a four-basg
hike and put Oregon only one tally in the
rear. This tally was not overcome though
for although Tiny Shields went in as a
pinch hitter and got to first, Fitzke kept
things well in hand and was at no timg
in danger in the last two rounds!
Lefty Baldwin for Oregon shows
worlds of improvement over his work of
last season and allowed but four hits
which is pretty fast work for this time
of the season. Most of the Idaho men
seem to bo southpaw batters and Lefty
had them eating out of his hand till
the unlucky seventh came) along and
spilled the dope.
Pitcher Works Well
Fitzke, the Idaho football star, took
care of the mound for the Gem state men,
and did a good job of it. He seemed to
consider all bunts his meat and nipped
practically all Oregon’s attempts in this
direction by his snappy work in getting
the ball to first.
Dinty Moore, who was put at short
for this game, proved his mettle and
handled the hot ones with a sureness that
gives him a good chance for a regular
berth on the squad.
rl he only other new man on the Oregon
team was Cook, who played his position
behind the bat well for his first Var
sity game. Bill Sorsby, Eoycroft and
Doug Wright took care of the outfield
in great shape and grabbed everything
;hat came their way.
Second Game Today
The second game of the series is slated
for this afternoon at four o’clock and
should be good judging from yesterday's
score.

Traditions of Oregon Campus
Guarded by Student Council
Article No II
STUDENT COUNCIL
Which Oregon traditions shall be
fostered? Shall any be permitted to
die through neglect or abolition?
Student Council is the official body
at Oregon which decides upon that im
portant matter. For instance the pres
ent Council will pass upon the question,
which has been discussed pro and con
on the campus for the past few weeks,
of whether or not the junior class shall
abolish Campus Day ds a regular part
of the Junior Week-end program.
Frequently such problems arise, and
it is the fifteen students who are
elected annually to Student Council
who decide whether a tradition is wor
thy and should be maintained or wheth
er or not it has outgrown its original
purpose and become a burden.
As the University grows in numbers,
such problems become more complex.
Traditions are violated more frequently
than in the past, when the student body
was smaller, and eaeh individual took
a more personal interest in student
body affairs. It is therefore impera
tive that representatives be elected to
Student Council who have the most
wholesome attitude toward Oregon de
mocracy and the preservation of Ore
gon ideals, because students and alum
ni alike will look to this body to see
that worthy traditions are respected
and observed.
Other duties of Student Council are
many. One committee cooperates with
the University health service. Another
is responsible for the University ves
per service. Student Council assists
and advises the yell leader, who was
recently admitted to the group, in the
direction of rooting and rallies, looks
