ELECTION ANNOUNCED Condon Club anounees the election of Wilbur Godlove of Medford. PIGGER’S GUARD NEEDED OFFICER New Political Openings Are Suggested The political bug is in the ointment and is buzzing to his heart’s content. There are many positions to be filled this year. Yet there are several posi tions that have never known a guar dian which seelns to be of importance. What of the mortuary on the hill? How about a protector for the pigger and piggess, the sheik and sheikess who stealthily sneak into the ghost lot of departed souls and blissfully babble about the pigger ’g moon and the solar system in general, The boneyard needs a guardian, one staunch and unafraid of the swishing of spirit robes and rat tling bones. The craze of engagements has struck the campus with a bang in the last year or two. What of a chaperon for these newly engaged couples? Have them meet in a drove fo'r their tryst ing and have the chaperon preside over the meeting. The scandal sheet needs an editor. Hope the one who gets the job will have a straight two policy as a plank in his platform. How about the keeper of the library steps? This place in particular needs attending to. A husky f guardian might be elected for the position. How about a man to turn out the lights that have invaded the confines of the pigger’s favorite places? Lights are nuisances and should be turned out at a certain hour. UNION FU1GIVENSIODO BY KAPPA ALPHA THETA Subscription Fourth Made By Women’s Fraternities The fund for the future Student Union of the University has received another thousand dollar boost from the donation made yesterday by the mem bers of Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity, who turned over a savings policy to Lamar Tooze at the gift campaign head quarters, for this purpose. Six cam pus organizations have now subscribed to the fund, according to Mr. Tooze, and he added that the Thetas were the first group to vote on their gift sev eral months ago, and notified the head quarters of their intention, but this was not announced because of a mis understanding and delay in definite action. The present list of organizations which have pledged $1000 to the fund includes Delta Gamma, Hammer and Coffin, Phi Kappa Psi, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Phi and Kappa Alpha Theta. It is the hope of the chairman of sen iors who ' are soliciting subscriptions among the members of their class that all 36 of the campus organizations will pledge the same amount as these houses thus making a total of $36,000 assured. This in addition to the $37,0000 which may be raised by the subscription of each of the 370 seniors of ten dollars a year for ten years will practically put up the Union building. Members of Alphp Xi chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta who are sharing in making this contribution to the Stu dent Union fund are: Margaret Beatie, Agnes Brooks, Lorna Coolidge, Lenore Cram, Elizabeth Geiser, Marion Law rence, Jessie Lewis, Marian Linn, Imo gene Letcher, Anabel McKenzie, Cor nelia Pipes, Elizabeth Torrey, Helen Stoppenbach, Doris Sengstacken, Jane Campbell, Marcella Berry, Elizabeth Garrett, Marjorie Hazard, Martha Johnson, Henryetta Lawrence, Asteria Norton, Dorothea Hill, Florence Buck, Sally Cusic-k, Florence Fortmiller, Eli sabeth Honkanon, Mary Hardy, Rebec ca Ireland, Genevieve Phelps, Martha 3hull, Jeanne Elizabeth Gay, Mary Har ris, Ruth Sensenich, Eleanor Eakin, Prances Effinger, Georgiana Gerlinger, Eloise Buck, Gertrude Harris, Adrienne Hazard, Marion Hill, Edna Murphy, .\rdis Welch, and Eugenia Zieber. Veteran Lame Duck Members Will Minister to Casualties Now is the time for all good men and women who know that they are good to run for offices in the approach ing student body election. But, as has been shown in past elections, everyone cannot win the coveted position, just one person to the position is all the rule book allows. To run and win is great stuff, but to run and lose—puts a decided crimp in the aspirations of the office seeker. He seeks to hide his grief by crawling away and concealing himself from pry ing, scorning eyes He feels like a worm, who brought out of the earth by the warm spring rains, finds himself bared to the scorching rays of the sun on the asphalt pavement. Such is the life of him who runs and stubs his toe. But here on the Oregon campus, kind hearts have provided a sanctuary for those who flounder in the puddle and emerge with political pneumonia.* In the not far distant past, brave hearts who felt the cruel sting of the political bee banded! together and formed a society for their mutual comfort—a society within which they could con gregate and sob on one another’s shoul der and spill their grief in sympathetic ears. “The Lame Ducks,” the society for the protection of those who have tasted the bitter dregs of defeat, the frater nity of the also-rans. On the morning of the day following the fatal election, when the political guillotine has lopped the heads of the few unfortunates, the friendly breth ren of the monastery “Lame Ducks” (Continued on page three.) RELAY SPRINTERS LEAVE TODAY FOR SEATTLE EVENTS Larson, Oberteuffer, Covalt, Lucas, Hardenberg, Risley, Rosebraugh Going OREGON TO ENTER 3 RACES Five Northwestern Colleges To Have Teams in Washington Track Carnival When Bill Hayward steps aboard the north bound Shasta this afternoon at 4:30 headed for Seattle, he will take with him seven of Oregon’s best sprinters who will enter in the Univer sity of Washington relay carnival. The men who will carry the varsity colors in the north are Ole Larson, Del Ober teuffer, Marv Lucas, Elmer Harden berg, Vic Risley, Harley Covalt, and Art Rosebraugh. Larson and Oberteuffer will run in the 100 yard dash. The competition in this race should be keen enough to please the most exacting followers of track. Hurley, of Washington, wrill un doubtedly enter in this event and, al though Larson beat him last year in the dual meet with the Northerners. Hurley is considered one of the fastest sprinters in the northwest. Entries in Three Events Oregon’s entry in the 880 yard relay will consist of Larson, Oberteuffer, Lu cas, and Ilardenberg. These men all work well in the 220, which is the dis tance that each will be required to carry the baton. Hardenberg will have to per form in the mile relay also, and with Rosebraugh, Risley and Covalt, will compose the team for that event. Oregon will enter teams in but three of the seven events which are sche duled. As it now stands, the varsity will have no entries in the 400-yard the two mile, the four mile> relays, nor the pentathlon. The team will arrive in Seattle tomorrow morning and, as j the relays are not to be run until Sat urday, there will be time for the var sity sprinters to acclimate themselves and to work out on the Washington oval. Five Schools Enter The schools which will be represented in the meet are University of Washing ton, Washington State College, Univer sity of Idaho, O. A. C., and Oregon. Al though there is little available infor mation concerning the relative strength of the contestants, it is known that the Aggie team will be weakened by the ab sence of their 2-mile relay team, which has been sent back to the Drake relays at Des Moines. AWARDS TO BE LIMITED Order of “O” Will Standardize Letter Giving; Opposes Umpire Razzing The Order of the O went on record at its meeting last night as favoring the proposal of an amendment absolute ly standardizing the awarding of let ters, according to George King, pres ident of the organization. According to this amendment, letters will be awarded only to men engaged in in tercollegiate varsity contest, and will eliminate yell leaders’ and managers’ O’s, and all forms of Old English and scroll letters. The organization is also strongly opposed to the wearing of O sweaters by any women except wives of Order of the O men, and women in the Women’s Order of the O. This is intended to protect the girls who have really won their O’s in women’s ath letics. The O men are also behind the athlet ic coaches in being opposed, to exces sive razzing of umpires and referees from the grandstand in games and will take measures to prevent this when possible. There will be an Order of the O dance on Friday night at the Campa Shoppe, according to King, and all members of the organization will wear their sweat ers. O blankets will be used for decor ations. The Order will likewise sponsor a student body dance in the Woman’s building on May 12. N FROSH CALLED BY “O” MEN The following freshmen will report on the library steps at 11 o’clock this morning: Belden Taylor, Ralph Tuck, Ken Stephenson, Howard Hobson, A1 Powers, Charles Kilgore, Harry Watson, John Rice, A1 Bullier, John Marx, John McIntyre, Frank Smith, Gordon Slade, Ed Stephens, Louis Bertrand, Bud Hodgett, A1 Cronin, Herman Blae sing, Bob Gardiner, A1 Meyers, Ike Mills, Fred Harrison, Rodney Keating.

Clean-Up Day Officially Abolished by Single Vote / ————— Council Chairman Decides Fate of Question When Split Opinion Results in Tie with Five for and Five Against Clean-up day was removed from the Junior week-end program by action of the student council last night after a hot fight which lasted almost one hour. .Upon calling for a vote on the motion to do away with the tradition from Junior weekend, five hands were raised. Upon calling for those opposed to doing away with the tradition, five hands were raised. According to the constitution, a tie vote is decided by action of the chair man. John MacGregor, president of the A. 8. U. O., cast the deciding ballot. Mem bers voting to abolish the clean-up were Bernice Alstock, Margaret Jackson, Art Larson, Jack Myers, and Pat Irelan. Voting to continue the tradition were Kenneth Youel, Don Zimmerman, Had don Bockhey, Ellen McVeigh and Don Woodward. A delegation from the Junior class attended and presented a number of ar guments urging the abolishment. Some points advanced were that the University has outgrown its need for such an event, that the campus is cared for by a num ber of men hired for the purpose, that the time taken up in its conduct could be better spent in conducting the guests around the classrooms and introducing them to major professors thus interest ing them in their future course here, that the event did not really promote a spirit of democracy anyway, and that there was comparatively nothing con structive to be done. Counter arguments were advanced showing that removing the clean-up from Junior Week-end to some other time would kill the event ns a tradition, that it really promoted democracy among the students to work shoulder to shoulder on the campus for one morning of the year, that if nothing constructive had been done in the last few years there was no reason why it should not be done with proper organization. It was pointed out that a number of cement walks had been installed on University day several years ago and there was no reason why this could not be done again. This change will not do away with Friday as a holiday. Other business brought before the council was a request by Oerald Barnes, of the Physical Education department, requesting that some form of award be recommended for presentation to Varsity swimmers upon winning eight points in a conference meet. Under this ruling only two men would bo eligible this year. The council went on record as favoring the change and referred the matter to the constitutional revision com mittee. A letter similar to that given (Continued on page three.) WOMEN DEBATERS TO MEET 0. OF W. TONIGHT Marriage and Divorce Question Will Be Discussed There is a universal sentiment, ac Cardin* to some of the up-to-date think ers, that marriage as it exists today is an absolute failure, and that some thing must be done about the momen tous question of divorce. University people interested in the problem will have an unusual opportunity to .hear the current views and opinions on the matter, when the Oregon women’s af firmative debate team contest the sub ject with the University of Washing ton ’s negative team at 8 o ’clock to night in the Y. M. C. A. “hut.” The exact wording of the question is “Re solved that the Constitution of the United States should be Amended so as to give Congress the Power to Regu late Marriage and Divorce.” In commenting on the subject of marriage and divorce, Professor C. D. Thorpe, coach of the debate teams said that statistics show that in Los An gles and Denver there is one divorce for every two marriages, in Oregon tak en as a state there is one divorce for every two and one half marriages, while in the whole United States there is one divorce for every nine marriages. “The question has to be undoubtedly settled by the voters within a few years,” Mr. Thorpe said. Judge Ben Lindsey of the Denver court recently made the statement that marriage was absolutely a failure; while other leaders of the country have come to the con clusion that the only solution for the serious question of marriage and di vorce is to have uniform laws regulat ing the institutions. “Both of the teams have worked up some interesting and peppy arguments, and are ready to give the Washington women a stiff fight,” said Mr. Thorpe. Mildred Bateman and Margaret Wood son, the members of the affirmative team which has the home contest, have shown unusual progress and success in their work, coaches say. May Penno and Eugenia Strickland, who left on the Shasta for Seattle last night to uphold the negative side of the ques tion for Oregon, have done excellent work, Mr. Thorpe' said, and will de liver two forcible and convincing talks. All four of the women worked through the spring vacation on their speeches. The judges for the contest tonight are Elbert Bede, editor of the Cottage Grove Sentinel; Rev. P. G. Jennings of the Episcopal church of Eugene; and Victor A. Collins, debate coach at the Senior high school of Salem. Dean Ed gington will act as chairman. Ruth Akers will give a vocal solo as part of the program. The debate will begin promptly at 8 o’clock. “The question to be contested is every bit as interesting as the pro hibition question, and we can justly' expect a good crowd to turn out,” Mr. Thorpe said. P. L. CAMPBELL IN PORTLAND President Campbell was in Portland yesterday attending the annual meet ing of the Board of Higher Curriculum. He will return to Eugene today. I I [[MON PUNCH WANTS STUDENT MANAGEMENT Campus Comic May Be Placed On Basis of Emerald A desire to have Lemon Punch placed on the same basis 11s the Emeral.« and the Oregano, thus making it a student body publication, has been expressed by members of Hammer and Coffin, humorous publication society, which puts out Lemon Punch. Heretofore the publication of the magazine has been in no way connected with student body government. , An important provision of such an action would be that' the election of the editor which is done by the staff, should be ratified by the student coun cil. The manager of Lemon Punch would be selected in the same manner as other managers on the campus, and profits would be divided on a plan sim ilar to that of the Emerald’s. The movement to make the publica tion of the magazine a student body affair comes from the Lemon Punch staff, the members of which feel that such an action would put “Lemmy” on a better basis if it were a student body publication rather than one of Hammer and Coffin’s. Persons who are sponsoring the movement are Pro fessor W. F. G. Timelier of the school of journalism and a member of Ham mer and Coffin, and Herbert Larson, newly elected editor of Lemon Punch. SPRING FOOTBALL STARTS Forty Men Signed Up for Gridiron Practice With Huntington Hot weather and football usually don’t come together at Oregon, but j Coach Shy Huntington has an enthus iastic group of about 25 out three times a week now, and next month will have them practicing evjory day in the sawdust. The work being given the men is rud imentary for the most part, as many of them have never been out for the game before, and so far the points that ] have been stressed have been the hand j ling of the ball, charging, and the posi j t ion of linemen. Over 40 men are signed up for the game Coach Huntington states, and un less they all start turning out will soon get flunks in the subject. Several members of this years frosh eleven have been working daily and are progressing nicely according to Shy. Some of these are Sinclair, who has the speed, weight and ability to make a fine guard or tackle, Hunt and Bailey, both of whom are big, fast fel lows and several others. The more experienced men who are making good ary Wilson, Gooding and McKeown. MISS HAIR TO LECTURE Miss Mozelle Hair, of the extension division of the University, will attend a meeting of the southern Oregon fed eration of women’s clubs, at Talent, May 5. She will give a lecture on Egypt, illustrated with slides loaned by the University. While in southern Oregon, Miss Hair will go to Grant’s Pass, Medford and Ashland to attend to correspondence work there. CANDIDATE [1ST LONGER; NO ONE FOR PRESIDENCY Marcella Berry Announces Intention to Contest For Secretaryship GOWANS OUT FOR COUNCIL New Aspirants For Emerald Berth Are Lacking; All Avoid Yell Leader Somewhere on the Oregon campus there are two or three young men who will announce their candidacies for the greatest responsibility, and the great est honor which can be given a stu dent—the presidency of the A. S. U. O. Just who these men are is the chief topic of conversation around even fireplace. Each of those mentioned for the position, is waiting and watch iug for the move of the other. One thing is certain, and that is that a definite move is to be expected writhin a very short time. The political game is not without its developments, however. Yesterday Marcella Berry announced that she would run for secretary against Velma Farnham. Russ Gowans declared for the position of senior man on the student council. Harley Covalt is already in the ring. As yet there is but one candidate for the editorship of the Emerald, Edwin Fraser, although others will probably be announced with in a short time. iviarcena Berry, who is m tho race for secretary, is a junior and a member of liwama and Phi Theta Kappa, in which she has been an officer. She is on the Junior week-end committee and is a Kappa Alpha Theta. Russ Gowans, tho latest candidate for senior man on the student council, is prominent in athletics. He is a member of the “Order of the O” and ia a < basketball ietteiman. He was treasurer of his class as a sophomore and is now on the Junior week-end com mittee, acting as chairman of the bleachers committee. He is a member of Oregon Knights, Beta Alpha Psi, Beta Gamma Sigma, and Delta Tau Delta. There are no additions to tho list of aspirants for the editorship of the Ore guna and it looks like a three-eornored race. Mary Skinner, who has announc ed for the position of junior woman on the student council, is as yet unoppos ed. As yet no candidates for yell lead er have come out. PHI THETA KAPPA SUMS UP N. S. F. SITUATION Folder Published by Women’s Business Honorary Organization Points Oiit Neglect of Accounts That one confectionery store in Eu gene averages from $5 to $20 per day in n, s. f. checks is pointed out in a folder just out, published by Phi Theta Kappa, women’s honor society in the school of business administration. This folder represents the first definite step taken by a student society regarding the n. s. f. check question. It was compiled from figures made available by the banks of Eugene and the busi ness office of the University. In the little bulletin is the further information that one bank in Eugene has on an average of 150 n. s. f. checks per month, and that one prominent jew elry store averages 500 not-sufficient funds checks per month. The folder does not state that these checks are student checks, but points out the fact with an idea of showing that the prac tice is widespread. It does, however, call attention to the fact that last year $2,000 worth of n. s. f. paper wont through the business office of the Uni versity. Although the information given out Tuesday comes at a time when interest is high in the n. s. f. check matter, it was planned severol weeks ago, and students have b.'eu gathering the in formation since that time.
