The circle of the Omicron is inlaid with pearls, a ruby appearing at the apex of the Alpha. The pledge pin is a small emblem in the form of a sheaf, encircled with the letters of the frater nity. Two members of Alpha O live in Eu gene at the present time, Mrs. W. A.1 Miner, of Tuft’s college, and Hermance Teschner, of the University of Wiscon-, sin. The installation will be followed by a banquet at the Osborn hotel. ASTOEIA WINS DEBATE In a debate on the campus last night, Astoria high school beat Roseburg high school by a count of two to one on the question, “Kesolved that thie U. S. should adopt the Policy of Ship-sub sidy.” Astoria by the victory becomes the champion of the western Oregon high school debate league and will meet the winners in eastern Oregon. The two championship teams will meet here to debate on the campus during. Junior week-end. SAILS REPLACE OARS AND BRAWN Inventive Pigger Finds Way to Free Arms If you have a canoe on the race, throw away the paddle and get a sail, for from today on, the muscular means of propulsion are obsolete. There is no more need for aching muscles, for canvas has come into its own, here on the race. Yesterday, a craft from the pigger’s navy was sighted in the offing by the bleachers, bearing steadily eastward under a close-hauled gaff and boom rig. Dabbling his oar in the water, the skipper left the handling of the sail in the hands of the fair crew up amidships. The little craft pushed by a gentle southeaster, bucked the race current and danced gayly around the bend and out of sight. Without doubt the future will see the caravel of the race fleet blossom out in the regalia of the old halycon days of the clipper ship. The little close-hauled jibs hark back to the days of the hardy buccaneers who hunted the waterways of the world for romance and adventure. Perhaps the fleet commanders have decided to hunt for —what’ll we say, Bomance? INVITATIONS ARE READY FOR MOTHERS’ WEEK-END Vesper Recital Is Attraction For Sunday Afternoon Plans for the Mothers’ Week-end May 12 and 13 are going steadily forward. One interesting feature of the Vesper service on Sunday, the thirteenth, will be the giving of Eossini’s “Stabat Mater” by Madame Rose McGrew and John Sie fert, both of the school of music. The rest of the program should be especially good, since the school of music is pre paring for a recital in Portland and some of the best things will be given here first. The Women’s building has been chosen as the scene of the tea on Saturday at 2.00 because of the beautiful surround ings. Then, too, the piano there can be used for the recital during the tea. Men students are urged by the commit tee not to be afraid of the name of “Tea” as applied to this gathering, as it is not to be of the lounge lizard variety, but simply a luncheon in-doors. The invitations have already been dis tributed to the various halls and houses, and it is highly important that they be sent out at once so that the greatest possible number of mothers can plan to be here. The committee suggests that the heads of houses be personally re sponsible in seeing that every invitation is sent. Even if the student is sure that his or her mother can not be present, the invitation will at least show the thought and tribute behind it. U. H. S. WILL PUT ON PLAY “The Charm School,” Three-act Comedy To Be Staged by Seniors “The Charm School,” a three act comedy by Alice Duer Miller, will be given by the University high school sen iors in the high school auditorium next week. Two performances, a matinee to be given Wednesday afternoon for the high school students, and an even ing performance Thursday, will be given. The admissioH is 50 cents. Tickets can be obtained from the U. H. 8. students. Members of ((Lame Duck" Club Are Good Losers, Says Scribe By Clinton Howard Well, what about the Lame Ducks 1 Like death, they are always put off till the last, until the end, finish, crisis, and consumation of political life. When the final dirge has been tolled, and the dead reputation of a man who was “prominent in student activities” has been knocked three times on the tem ples and questioned, “O, Reputation and Spirit of by-gone days, art thou asleep t” then, there comes an end to strife. Three or four long years of prepara tion are wasted; at the polls the student body has definitely signified that its choice lay not with the defunct candi date. And late at night, after the ballots are counted and the results announced, be fore the student paper blares them to the world in the early mom, then the spirit of Lameduckdom steals into the empty place in the body left vacant by the spirit of Political Reputation and pours oil and balm upon the wounds caused by the cleavage of the body and its form er occupant. The last year of the non-successful can didate in the University, after the run ning of the political gauntlet is devoted to the studious life. Three years a chasing after the political will-o'-the wisp haunt him and the shadows of The Dean towers constantly. Down the long alley of that year’s perspective, he sees the Wolf howling at the gate. He is not envious, the defeated candi date. When his wounds and minor lacer ations of self-pride are healed, he sees things without the former mist of in trigue and vote-trading. He has more time to devote to studying and to the girl he has “fallen for,” and considers hmself fortunate that he does not have to slave hs last year of college life away for the benefit of an ungrateful pub i lie. t show ms Mir STUDENTS Financial Success of Affair Is Assured; “Mummy Mine” Receives Praise SECOND SHOWING POSSIBLE Identity of “Oregon Jester” Is Made Known; Jack Beck Gets $10 Prize By Art Budd When nearly a thousand Oregon stu dents, faculty members and townspeo ple ,-jammed into the Heilig theatre, Thursday night, to see the triumph of the Varsity Vanities, the financial suc cess of Oregon’s annual Junior week end was assured. Although the amount is not ready to be made public at this time, it is understood that a sizeable figure graces the bankbook of the Jun ior class. The campus was alive yesterday with favorable comments on the show and everywhere strains of the catchy musie in Imogene Letcher’s “Mummy Mine” were being sung and whistled, i There was a general expression of disappointment that Miss Letcher was not presented to the crowd following her act. The hearty applause which fol lowed the final curtain of “Mummy Mine” was largely a tribute to her ability as a composer. Seats All Sold Hundreds of Eugene people and stu dents were unable to obtain seats for the Vanities show and a second perfor mance is possible. The difficulty in obtaining a suitable date is one of the obstacles in the way of such an enter prise. If the demand is great enough it will doubtless be arranged. , Campus opinion was a unit in declar ing that every one of the ten Vanities acts was a knockout. “Mummy Mine” and “A Finnish Finish” were both rated worthy of the professional vaude ville stage. In fact the quality of the whole evening was ao high that due praise seems extravagant. Bernice Altstock, who took the lehd in Pi Beta Phi’s “Night of Dreams” displayed wonderful vocal ability and stage presence in an act that was de lightfully colorful, odd, and out of the ordinary. The vocal work of Art Johnson, Marion Linn, Ruth Akers, Mildred Burke and Zelma Arrasmith was heartily applauded as was that of Frank Wright and Catherine Lyon. The Mid-Nite Sons, always a popular orchestra, lived up to their reputation in excellent shape. Small Acts Good There were so many other good things about the show that it would be impossible to enumerate them all. Ed Stevens, Moe Sax and Bob Mautz got a lot of laughs, as did Maxine Buren, Alfred Myers and other members of Ted Osborne’s “Madame Butterscotch.” There were several clever dancing acts, Gladys Noren and Katherine Jane Seel, in their Egyptian Dance, carried out their part of the program with an easy grace that would do credit to the (Continued on page three.) MEN’S GLEE CONCERT IS MAY 11 AT M. E. CHURCH r Program Similar To That Presented On Annual Trip Will Be Put On For Home Audience The Men’s Glee elub is planning for the home concert a program similar to that given on its annual trip, which will take place Friday evening, May 11, in the Methodist church. New songs and features are being worked up and the concert promises to be exceptionally fine, according to John Stark Evans of the school of music, director of the club. There will be solo work by Aubrey Furry, baritone, Roy Bryson, tenor, and Ronald Reid, pian ist. The quartette, composed of Cur tis Phillips, John Stark Evans, Wilbur Phillips, and Aubrey Furry, is to give several numbers. The quartette has proved to be very popular, and is being called upon frequently to assist on var ious programs. One of the numbers of the program will be Kipling’s “Hymn Before Ac tion,” which has been set to music by Baldwin. This is perhaps the most difficult number the club will sing, and is especially fine for a male chorus, because of the massiveness of the com position. It was decided to have the concert in the Methodist church this year be cause of the good accoustics and the general tendencies towards good aud iences when concerts are given there. Admission prices of 50 and 75 cents will be charged, and tickets may be obtained at the Co-op and Kuykendall’s drug store. * PUN TO DONATE GIFT OF $70,0110 State Bar Association Backs Move To Raise Large Fund For University MONEY FOR LAW BUILDING Attorneys Will Obtain Half of Sum by Allotment; Campbell Expresses Gratitude A decided encouragement to the Uni versity in the prosecution of its “Ten Million in Ten Years” endowment campaign was met with yesterday af ternoon, when word was received from the sessions of the Oregon State Bar association that that body had indors ed a resolution to donate $70,000 to the gift campaign, to be used for the erec tion of a new and adequate law build ing on the University campus. Thirty five thousand dollars of this money will be raised by allotment among the lawyers of the state, according to the agreement of the session. As soon as he heard of the gift yes terday, President P. L. Campbell said: “The administration of the Univer sity feels that this gift to the Uni versity on the part of the Bar Asso ciation comes at this time as a special encouragement to the prosecution of the endowment campaign. Such a move ment betokens the interest of the peo ple of the state in the movement, and is especially fortunate, now since it will provide adequate protection to our greatly increased law library. The gift augurs well for the success of the en tire campaign, which is just being launched. “This money will also provide addi tional classrooms of which the law school is in great need. The entire Uni versity appreciates this gift, and our appreciation will be conveyed to the body through Dean W. G. Hale, who is now present at the sessions.” The motion for the gift was intro duced through the action of Blythe W. Johnson, president of the Asoeiation of District Attorneys, calling for this sum from among the lawyers and asking them to consider some plan for raising the necessary funds. Frosh Lose to Rooks by Score o'f 18 to 1 7 CORVALLIS, Ore., May 4.— (Special to Emerald)—The Oregon Frosh were defeated by the O. A. C. Books 17 to 18 in the first clash of the two-game series played here this afternoon. The Univer sity Babes went up in the air dur ing the initial frames of the game and when the dust of battle set tled at the end of the sixth inning the score stood 15 to 5 in favor of the Aggie yearlings. A flock of errors in the opening innings was the Waterloo of the Frosh. After the disastrous start, the Frosh settled down and steadily crawled up on the Books, being only one tally in the rear at the end of the ninth. “Lefty” Carson was on the mound for the Frosh and Jack Bliss received Fred Har rison will probably pitch todjay. DR. BOWMAN SPEAKER FOR NEXT ASSEMBLY Will Explain Harmony Between Science And the Bible Bringing Out Functions of Both Dr. Harold Leonard Bowman, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Portland, is to be on the campus next week for a series of lectures on the Bible. His first appearance will be at a luncheon at the Y. M. C. A. hut, Wed nesday noon. Thursday morning he will be the assembly speaker, using as his subject, “Science and the Bible.” In this talk he will show the harmony between science and the Bible and bring out the real function of both. He will probably speak Thursday af ternoon at the hut on the “Bible As Literature,” which will be of special interest to students in Bev. Bruee Gif fen’s classes in bible literature and in the course in first year World Litera ture. A fourth lecture may be scheduled on the subject of “The Bible as Autobio graphy.” Dr. Bowman has made numerous vis its to the Orgon campus and is rated as one of the most popular speakers that students have an opportunity to hear. MANY STUDENTS NEGLECTING FEES Payments Must Average One a Minute Monday afternoon at three o ’clock many students will realize that they are not registered in the University of Oregon unless an average of one a minute pays laboratory and registration fees at the business office in Johnson hall today and Monday. Only one half of the students have paid fees and un less there is a continuous line before the windows during the hours of busi ness today and Monday, the alumni roster of the University will be marked ly increased, according to present in dications. Realizing that it is Impossible to care for the host of students who must pay their fees before the deadline Mon day afternoon, the business office has made arrangements to remain open this afternoon. E. P. Lyon, cashier, says he was aware many students would prob ably have to postpone pleasant hikes and line up in front of the office to day, but he pointed out that students have been repeatedly warned, and inti mated that time lost standing in line was the penalty for neglect. The business office will be open from 8:30 this morning until noon and from 1:15 until 3. The office hours will be the same on Monday, but is is estimated that between 400 and 500 students will have to pay their regis tration fees today. Otherwise it will be impossible to care for the large number on Monday. Members of the business office staff are not pleased with the showing made by the students under the new system of fee payments. The change in the system was made to accomodate the students. FROSH FACE DUAL MEET WITH COLUMBIA TODAY Twelve Men Represent Oregon On Multnomah Field Twelve men will represent the frosh in the dual track meet with Columbia University, scheduled for Multnomah field, Portland, this afternoon. These 12 wore picked in the tryouts on Hay ward field Thursday 'afternoon, and left for Portland last night, accompan ied by Fred Carlburg, who will rep resent the babes in both the quarter mile and the shotput events, was elected captain of the yearling team for the season and will lead his teammates in their first away-from-home meet to day. Two casualties to the squad occured during the Thursday tryouts, MacAu lliffe, sprinter, led all competitors in the tryouts for the 100 yard dash but in doing so he pulled a tendon and will be unable to compete in today’s meet. The second accident happened in the field events, when Richmond, who took second in the pole vault in last Satur day's meet, ran foul with the bar and came down, heavily wrenching several ligaments in his leg. Indications are that he will be out of the going the rest of the season. Except for the handicaps the babes will have a strong squad when they face the Columbians.

PACIFIC CONTEST WON OK VARSITY INK INNING TILT Shields Drives Winning Runs Across With Hard Clout;. Errors Mar Game GAME IS PITCHER’S BATTLE Amburn of Badgers Opposes Baldwin Despite Sore Index Finger By Monte Byers A walk, a hit batter, another walk and a hard rap through short pulled an 11 inning game out of the fire for thie varsity in the second contest with the Pacific University Badgers. With Zim merman, Latham and Collins populating the bags, T*iny Shields, who had re placed Sullivan, rapped a hot one to L. Hoar who bobbled, allowing Zim merman and Latham to cross the rub ber with the tying and winning tallies. The game turned out to be a pitch er’s battle between Amburn of the vis-' itors and Baldwin for the home crowd. Despite an injured digit, Amburn worked admirably on the mound for the losers, allowing the varsity seven bingles and sending 11 back tS the bench via the strikeout route. He also had the game packed away on the ice in the first half of the eleventh by a beau tiful single and, had it not been for the error of his teammate, might have been returned victor. Baldwin Allows Three Walks Baldwin breezed eight opposing bats men and allowed 11 hits. Only three gained first off him by walks, while Amburn granted life to four. Due to taping his finger, the Badger hurler was wild at times, hitting Latham twice, once in the disastrous eleventh. Baldwin chucked Matson in the ribs in the fourth. Oregon scored in the first, Svarverud counting on an error, a sacrifice and a hit by Collins. In the third they tal lied three times on hits by Latham and Collins, a walk by Boycroft and errors on the part of the Pacific infield. In this canto Latham stretched one for three bases, the ball caroming outside the right field foul line. Pacific scored twice in their half of the second on varsity errors and once in the sixth for the same reason. Ore gon counted again in the fourth on an error and from then on until the ele venth were held scoreless by Amburn who had found himself and was ac corded much better support by his teammates. Visitors Bally In Ninth In the ninth it looked as if Lefty were billed for the showers. The visi tors converted a brace of hits and var sity errors into two runs, thus put ting the game in a deadlock. At this juncture Baldwin braced and retured the side. A strikeout by Amburn and able fielding on the part of his mates sent the game into extra session. In their half the Badgers threw a scare into the Oregon supporters. Mat son, first man up, singled and was ad vanced to third on a sacrifice and an out. Then Amburn, who had gone hit less, rapped a Texas leaguer back of (Continued on page three.) SEVEN O’CLOCK CLASS SYSTEM IS DISCARDED Early Morning Meetings Are Thought Undesirable by Organizations And Administration Agitation for 7 o’clock classes in the morning have little effect in cansing a change in the scheduling of classes, ac cording to the report given out in Dean Colin Dymcnt’s office. Some years ago classes were scheduled for this time but complaints from the various houses and hall managements, from mothers of the students and from the Health de partment resulted in an administration rule being passed against the schedul ing of such early classes. The ruling that 8 o 'clock should be the earliest hour for scheduling classes was made entirely for the protection of the students health, Mrs. George Fitch, secrotary to Dean Dyment, said. Any classes that are scheduled before that time are against University rules, she said. Classes may be scheduled for 7 o ’clock in the evening. Agitation probably arose from the fact that classes are scheduled for 4:15 in the afternoon but these classes are all pick-up classes or classes that go clear through the whole school year and cannot be scheduled at any other time, according to Mrs. Fitch. The health department found that in scheduling 7 o ’clock classes students rushed away without eating breakfast or picking up a bite on the run. Classes at this time caused nervous breakdowns especially among the girls.
