Make the Invitation Sincere
Mothers’ Day has been getting too little attention in the past few
years. It is one of the University’s most appropriate and most thought
ful customs, and it could be really successful if more students would
make an effort to make the invitations genuine. The date has been
set for May 13 this year and there is still time to see that every moth
er knows that a real welcome will be extended.
There are hundreds of reasons why mothers should visit the cam
pus, and it is more pleasant to have them visit at a time when they
can be honored as a group. A program for the week-end has been
arranged. If students will express a sincere invitation, several hun
dred mothers will no doubt feel a desire to visit the campus.
Oregon Watches with Interest
0. A. C. ’s experiment with the honor system will be watched with
interest by the Oregon student body. Every college and university
must work out the solutions to their own problems, and it may be
but a matter of time until it will seem advisable for Oregon to look
into the matter. The University is not without problems of discipline.
Perhaps the honor system would be the solution, and perhaps not.
However, conditions have not forced the issue. The system’s trial
at 0. A. C. will be watched with a somewhat selfish motive. It will
be a matter for future college generations at Oregon to decide.
Those Four Amendments
For those who failed to attend the student body meeting Thursday
morning, four amendments to the student constitution and by-laws
have been proposed. They are briefly:
1. Making the Lemon Punch an official student publication.
2. Granting minor sport letters to varsity swimmers.
3. Awarding sweaters to members of the University band.
4. Authorizing the incorporation of the Associated Students.
The full context of these amendments will be published in the
Emerald before election Wednesday, but in the meantime every stu
dent should talk to the people concerned and form a definite opinion.
It is unfair to the student body to vote unintelligently. Organiza
tions concerned would do well to let the students know their de
cisions.
It sometimes takes a production like the Varsity Vanities to
bring realization that the man who “sleeps next to us’’ in class is
really a genius.
Green lawns—fir trees—twilight—the only element lacking is
singing. Those concerts held last spring on the steps of Met line
hall were great.
The Emerald takes this opportunity to thank its friends for the
kind words of commendation expressed at the A arsity \ unities.
PRIZE OF $10 GOES TO
BEST PUBLIC SPEAKER
Contest in Extemporaneous Address
Will Be Held in Juno; Award From
Jewett Gift Fund
An award of $10 is to be given to
the winner in the extemporaneous
speaking contest to be held during the
first week in June, according to an
nouncement by instructors in the pub
lic speaking department. The money is
a part of the $50 gift made to the Uni
versity during the winter term by Mrs.
Wilson Jewett; a prize of $40 of tho
same gift having been given to the
winner of the Northwest oratorical try
outs held last week. Mrs. Jewett gave
the money with the hope that it would
be used to arouse interest among Uni
versity students in public speaking.
The extemporaneous speaking contest
is limited to those who are enrolled
in the extemporaneous speaking classes.
Those students who plan on entering
the eveut are asked to see Prof. C. 1).
Thorpe as soon as possible, as some
definite subject will have to be select
ed. Each student competing in the
contest will bo assigned some particular
phase of the subject and must work up
a talk which will not take over eight
minutes to deliver.
A similar contest was held during the
winter term in which Leith Abbott won
a pie as the prize. The affair this term
is the first at which a money prize has
been offered.
SENIOR PLEDGES LAG
Seniors have lagged during the past 1
week in their response to the plan of
the class to subscribe $100 to the stu
dent union fund to be paid in ten in
stallments in as many years, according,
to record on file at the office of Lamar i
Tooze, field director of the campaign. !
Put four pledge cards were sent in j
since last Friday, these being from Ed
gar D. Blood, Lulu McLaughlin, Chloe 1
S. Thompson and Inez King. Letters
of appeal and pledge cards are being
mailed out to members of the class
who have not responded in an effort
to envoke their response in the near
future.

RIGHTS OF THE CHILD
TOLD IN RADIO IECTURE
Privilege of Play Banished,
i # Says Dr. Parsons
Betterment of the social, physical
| and mental conditions of the child was
stressed last night by Dr. P. A. Par
! sons, director of the Portland school
of social work of the University of Ore
gon, in a radio lecture which was re
ceived at the Friendly hall receiving
station of Edward Bobbins. "The
Child’s Bill of Bights” was the title
of the address transmitted under the
direction of the extension division from
station KGW of the Portland Morning
Oregonian.
“One of the chief rights of the child”
declared Dr. Parsons, “is the right to
a normal home. This is possible only
where there are responsible adults.
There should be more than one child
in the home.” Brothers and sisters are
necessary to make a happy and ideal
family is the opinion of Dr. Parsons.
The lecture was based upon the
“Seven Bills of Bights for the Child,”
as Dr. Parsons has outlined them. The
right of the child to be well born; the
right to live; the right of cnaracter;
the right of freedom from labor, and
the right to an education are five
measures in the “Bill of Bights” dis
cussed by the speaker.
“Because of the flowing into the
cities of the country population due
to industrial revolution the real right
of play for the child has been taken
away,” Dr. Parsons reminded the radio
fans. “Although there is some artifi
cial appartus provided in our public
play grounds, the available facilities
are very small,” declared the speaker.
The Oregon Parent-Teacher associa
tion has set aside the month of May
as a month of child protection. Earl
Kilpatrick, director of the extension
division, announced that a series of lec
tures on the protection of the child has
been arranged for during May and will
be broadcasted weekly under the di
ection of the University radio commit
tee.
COMMUNICATIONS
Letters to the Emerald from students
and faculty members are welcomed, but
nust be signed and worded concisely
If it is desired, the writer’s name will be
kept out of print. It must be understood
that the editor reserves the right to reject
communications.
To Dean Bovard Through the Courtesy
of the Emerald
1 have just finished reading a let
ter in the Emerald signed “student,”
intended to justify your position in the
commonly called “Bovard-Bohler” con
troversy. It accomplishes little because
it deals in generalities. It is obviously
clear that it was written not from any
conviction its author may have had
but only from a desire to have some
thing said concerning the “other side.”
Its purpose was probably honest is spite
of the veiled insinuation it made as to
information possessed by the adminis
tration that even Bohler would not care
to have circulated.
Your position is pivotol in several
respects. You are the head of a depart
ment and as such have a responsibility
that of necessity depends upon your
own honest convictions for its success
ful administration. It is conceded, I
think, that you have a general plan of
physical education for the entire stu
dent body that is supported even by the
strongest Bohler factor.
Indirectly you are the administrator
of student funds. Your recommenda
tion on the coach situation is practi
cally final. We have no control over
what you may do either with or for
our interests. You are in short occupy
ing a position which requires from you
the utmost good faith. Is it then un
reasonable that we should ask for a
statement of your side of the case?
'Is Bohler taking advantage of his
popularity to demand the unreasonable?
1 can’t believe that because his pop
ularity is the outgrowth of square deal
ing.
The charge against you is that you
have been influenced by petty jeal
ousy and that this is a personal quar
rel. I can’t believe this because men
who have risen to the position you now
hold do not so lightly abuse a confi
dence. Neither do they let strictly
personal likes and dislikes influence
their judgement.
Are you afraid that we would not un
derstand your position? Are you afraid
that our reason might be swayed by
our prejudice? I recall a situation four
years ago this Junior week-end when
200 frosh went into the millraee under
circumstances none too honorable. There
were some injuries. There were many
ex-service men among the frosh. There
existed many times as much malice and
prejudice in their minds as they lis
tened to what you had to say to them
as there exists now. We not only lis
tened to what you had to say but we
were influenced by the reason of it
and governed ourselves accordingly.
CAMPUS BULLETIN
Notices will be printed in this column
for two issues only. Copy must be in this

Several years in college have not made
us underestimate reason.
This is not a criticism on the merits
of the constroversy because I do not
know them. I am as familiar with them
however as the average student and
it is from that point of view that I am
writing.

SELECTED TEAM WINS
IN SWIMMING CONTEST
Sophomore Class Champions Lose Event
by Score of 35 to 15; Life Saving,
Water Polo Interest Crowd
In the swimming exhibition put on
last night by the department of physical
education for women, the team of se
lected swimmers from the , various
classes defeated the sophomore class
champions, 35 to 15. This event, the
demonstration of life saving work, div
ing, and water polo, was greatly en
joyed by the crowd of spectators which
more than filled the gallery of the
swimming pool in the Women’s build
ing.
The high point winner of the meet
was Muriel Meyers of the picked team,
who had 11 points to her credit. Maude
Schroeder, sophomore team member
took second place with 6 points. A ca
noeing party featuring four partici
pants disrobing and saving themselves
after the tip over proved a very amus
ing event to the audience. The diving
consisting of hand stands, straight for
wards, flips, swan, jack knife dives
and others were well demonstrated.
Water polo, for the first time played at
the University by women proved quite
an exciting game of sewn minute
halves.
SEA SHELLS ARE STUDY
Paul Cook, Graduate Geology Major,
To Spend Summer on Thesis
Paul Cook, graduate student in geo
logy, will spend the summer studying
sea shells near Coos Bay and Marsh
field, in collecting material for his
master’s thesis.
Cook says he intends to spend two or
two and a half months on this sub
ject, including in his study the inves
tigation of the shells, the depth of the
sea and the nature of the sea bottom.
He will confine his study to the recent
shells or “Molluscan fauna.”
As a side line, he will study the re
fuse heaps or kitchen middens of the
Indians.
If his investigations prove success
ful and sufficient data are obtained,
the results will be published in mono
graph form.
Cook will motor down to the bay
soon after the close of school. He and
his wife will camp on Sunset Bay until
the investigations are completed.
Students’ Day
Next Sunday is Students’ Day at Central Presbyterian Church.
The University pastor, Mr. Bruce J. Giffen, will speak:
“The Signs of God’s Presence in Our Lives”
Morning worship at 11 o’clock and evening service at 8. A

Wrong Man Nominated
Campus Political Blunder Slights Big Power
| Andrew Henry Gump, a nationally
jknown politician, backed by the Amal
gamated Order of Campus Pledges, the
Frosh Class, Sigma Sigma Sigma, the
[new Siamese Sorority, and his son, Ches
ter, gave an exclusive interview to the
Kollege Krier this morning in which he
stated that he was to have been nomin
ated for the President of the A. S. U. O.
instead of the tall man who did receive
the nomination.
Mr. Gump definitely stated that he was
insulted at the treatment received at the
hands of the political gang that way
laid his nomination.
The great figure admitted that he was
considering a plan of forming a rival
student body government to run in open
competition with the existing body. He
feels that he has sufficient backing
among the influential organizations of
the campus to dare the world and fac
ility.
Andrew expressed himself as thorough
ly in favor of student union. He claim
ed that the more student unions the
larger the income from marriage li
censes and smaller the amount of taxes
'necessary to run the state, and the Uni
versity incidently.
The coming power admitted that, like
all other candidates who expect jobs
next year, he has moved his campaign
center to OBAK Wallace’s Kollege Klub.
Smoking one of his own campaign
cigars, Andy congratulated the men he
met who took advantage of the recreation
found in an evening on the billiard ta
bles. He says that nothing like a good
friendly round of pool can make a man
feel like himself after a stiff go with the
mid-term exams.
Ye Pen Scratch
A “Colyum” of Opinion
The apditory sensations radiating
from the present day varsity baseball
game remind one of the days when the
girls’ High School basketball team play
ed their first contest.
m in m
If campus politicians handed out as
many cigars as handshakes OBAK Wal
lace would be riding in his own private
airplane before summer. And more of
them would be elected too, for OBAK
cigars and pipes make lasting friends.

A few more weeks and the world will
not be able to tell a senior from a

HARVARD
graduate School of business
A two-year course in business, open to college graduates,
leading to the degree of Master in Business Administration
Joints of interest regarding the Harvard^Business School:
1. The above graph shows the
growth in enrolment and the
large number of students com
ingffom institutions other than
Harvard. During the present
year 158 colleges are repre
sented.
2. The case method is used. Actual
problems obtained from busi
ness are used as the basis of in
struction. A staff of investiga
tors is constantly at work gath
ering problems.
3. Business is regarded andstudied
as a profession.
4. What the students intheSchool
think of the training which they
receive is indicated by the high
percentage of eligible first year
men who return to complete
the course—84 per cent, the
present year.
5. The training in the School
materially shortens the appren
tice period in business. A
f>rominent business manrecent
y said: “ On the basis of our ex
perience with your graduates, I
estimate that you are saving
them five years net. Six
months after they come to us,
your men are as well fitted to
assume responsibility and to
make decisions as the typical
college man at thirty."
The enrolment is limited in first
year courses.
