CLASS BASEBALL TO START Women’s Teams to Begin Practice; All Girls Urged To Turn Out Practice for class teams for women’s baseball will start noxt Monday, ac cording to Mary Hathaway, head of this sport, and the four class teams will be chosen the following Wednesday. The class heads of baseball are: senior, Wilma C'hattin; junior, Betty Garrett; sophomore, Melba Byron; freshmen, Ruth Mac Gregor. All girls who are expecting to turn out for class work are urged to do so immediately as the time is very limited in which to de velop good team work. The interclass games with O. A. C., are slated to come off on Monday, May 26. The final gumo of the do-nut .■series will be played this Saturday at fen o'clock, Both Hendricks and Su san Campbell Halls are maintaining good leads and scores indicate that the championship game will probably be fought out by these two teams. Now that games are not scheduled for the teams, it is urged by Miss Hathaway, that the various houses in the two leagues continue to play the othor teams and allow the spirit of the do nut series to die because of the ne cessity of cutting the season short to work in the class and intercollegiate games. MU PHI CONCERT SUNDAY Stunts and Skits Are Presented By Girls at Anchorage Party Old-fashioned girls, pirates, bohem ians, Japanese and small youngsters were among those present at a party given by the pledges of Mu Phi Epsilon, women's musical fraternity, for the ac tive members and town alumni members of the organization. The affair, which was held at the Anchorage, was the regular meeting of Mu Phi which is held every two weeks.

Call 721. 285-M3 by the pledges for the evenings enter tainment, the first number being a piano duet by Bernice Yoe and Virginia Owens, which might well have been named “the agony chorus” for all the harmony it contained. The participants i couldn’t seem to get started at the same time, nor could they keep together j when once they were started. Gwendolyn Lampshire and Jane O’ Reilly flien gave the audience a r^t by rendering a very beautiful violin duet. Two Japanese songs from Ma dam Bufterfly were the next numbers. These were given in costume by Mrs. Pearson and Ruth Akers. The final number was a stunt in wheih G'leopatria figured largely, accompanied by a bo hemian girl. The evenings entertainment was com pleted by the serving of dainty re freshments. R. 0. T. C. RATING WILL BE DECIDED IN JUNE Officers At Barracks Say Bain Storm May Be Cause of Oregon Making Coveted Standing Results of the recent inspection of the R. O. T. C. battalion will not be known until the latter part of June, according to the officers at the bar racks. The inspecting officials have not finished their tour yet, and will not begin considering the institutions for distinguished rating until they re turn to Washington, D. C. Oregon is thought to have an even chance to make the coveted class, even though the rain storm on the day the army men were here, hindered the snappy execution of the drill. Indeed it is the opinion at the barracks that tho rain helped the University’s chances, because it brought out the fact that the R. O. T. C. men know the true meaning of discipline. It was pointed out yesterday that of the 28 colleges giving the military training in the 9th Corps area, only five are granted distinguished rating. Only seven are recommended for considera tion each year and five of these are the institutions which won the year before. Thus, Oregon with one other university, must show a superior qual ity of work to replace a college al ready holding the rating. “SURE FIRE FLINT”—CASTLE Speed, comedy, action and drama— all merrily intertwined in a melange of six fast reels of action is promised the patrons of the Castle Theatre today and Friday when “Sure Fire Flint,” featuring Johnny Hines, is to begin a week’s engagement. The story of “Sure Fire Flint” has all to do with the experiences encountered Jay Flint, and aptly nick named “Sure Fire Flint” because of his dynamic temperamnt and his utter dis regard for danger and the soft, easy path of least resistance. BULLETIN DESCRIBES CAMPUS The April Extension Monitor, a stu dent number contains notes on student work and announcements of the summer school, There is also a brief article on the new art building being built on the campus. The Extension Monitor is used as a means of keeping extension and correspondence students in touch with each othor, and as a medium by which general announcement and arti cles • of interest to them can be pub lished.

GROWTH OF EMERALD TRACED BY REPORTER Campus Daily Derived Name From Poems of Joaquin Miller; Developed From Weekly Paper Like a page from the history of any modern newspaper, reads the story of the establishment and growth of the ' campus publication known today as 11 lie Oregon Daily Emerald. Browsing among the many old vol umes so numerous in the University library, the reporter came across a stack of bound volumes of the Oregon Weekly, first printed on Monday, Feb ruary 26, 1900. Was the front page adorned with screaming headlines an nouncing the candidacy of some as piring student for a campus office? Not quite. The first three columns were occupied with a story of a local oratorical contest with a line-drawing of the winner and a detailed account of the evening’s entertainment. “A small but appreciative audience was pres ent,” reads the article, “and while the decision of the judges was anxiously awaited, the true college enthusiasm of the Varsity students broke forth in numerous class yells for their respec tive favorites.” C. N. McArthur was the editor of this first publication, which was issued once a week. „ Nine years later the sheet was chang ed to a semi-weekly, appearing on the campus on Tuesdays and Saturdays. At that time also the name of the paper was changed to the Oregon Emerald. An editorial included in the issue on the day of this change gave the origin of the name Emerald. “To that great western poet, Joaquin Miller, whose early life was spent among the inspiring scenery in the en virons of Eugene, the Emerald is in ‘ debted. for its name. His grandest poems were songs of the west and among them are many in which he loved to call this the ‘Emerald State.’ His wish may never be officially sanc tioned, but we believe that a name which thus stands foi; one of the Uni versity’s colors should find immediate favor among our readers as the future name of the Oregon Emerald.” In September of 1920, the daily, edit ed by Harry A. Smith, was established and has continued thus for three years. It was with much trepidation that the editor set out upon the task of get ting enough news to fill the columns five times a week. It was found, how ever, that is was easier to find news to fill the daily than it was to edit the wpekly. BOOK PRESENTED TO LIBRARY Benjamin F. Atherton of Portland explained in a letter to the library that the reading in the newspaper of the celebration of Dean John Straub of his seventieth birthday had prompted him to give to the library here a copy of “The Alpine Glee Singer,” an old time song book, which Mr. Benjamin sent to the library. The book is not so unusual in itself, but the letter in which the writer alludes to Dean Straub and sends the gift in the hope that it may recall days and songs long past either to him or some other person who can remember a generation whose popular secular songs are now practically unknown, is worth mention. Little has been learned by the librarian here about Mr. Benja min Atherton. Occasionally he sends a gift to the library in the form of a book of some kind, usually an old edi tion. A chemistry, a geology and others have been donated by him to the lib rary. Read the Classified Ad column. To Theatre Goers of This City and Suburban Localities. It is a pleasure to a theatre manager to announce an engagement of Mr. Walker Whiteside, for it is an assurance to patrons that they will witness the highest form of artistic acting, not only by the star but my Mr. Whiteside’s associate players as well. May I add that it is doubly gratifying to announce that Mr. Whiteside will bring to this theatre his new play, “THE HINDU,” which he presented to splendid audiences in both New Yr rk and Chicago, and which has been sensa tionally successful during the star’s trans-continental tour. Here we have a triple combination that should at tract the most brilliant audiences of the year. MR. WHITESIDE, A FINE NEW YORK COMPANY, anc i THRILLING COLORFUL PLAY.
