The pin of Alpha O is a monogram
of the letters Alpha, Omicron, and Pi,
superimposed in the proper order. 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.

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.

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

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

during the Thursday tryouts, MacAu
lliffe, sprinter, led all competitors in
the tryouts for the 100 yard dash but

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

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.
