If the political platforms which have formerly been announced just prior to elections had any significance the Emerald would be reluctant to discontinue the practice. But statements are usually written by the candidate’s political manager. They have no meaning since they are constructed with the one and only purpose of getting votes. Experience shows that platforms are seldom carried out. When the typical candidate is asked for a 100 word statement he limits himself to half a column. It is usually scrawled on notebook paper. Misspelled words are not uncommon. Half of the politicians wait until ten o’clock and then wander to the Emerald office to write their candidates’ views. In view of these circumstances the Emerald believes that its col umns are too valuable to waste, even for one day a year. There is too much live news which would be displaced for this meaningless propaganda. If any of the candidates believe that real issues are at stake they will be allowed'space, but the Emerald will not counte nance any such humorous exhibitions as have been enacted in years past. ALPHA DELTA PI PLANS MUSICALE FOR SATURDAY Beulah Clark, flutist; Helen Harper, Violinist, and Leona Maurton, Contralto, Will Entertain Throe hundred invitations to faculty members and representative students have been sent out by Alpha Delta Pi, women’s fraternity, for a musicale which they will give on Saturday night at their residence on University street. The affair, which is the first “at home” of this nature to be given by a women’s fraternity recently, is for mal. A number of out-of-town alum ni of Alpha Delta Pi plan to attend. Talented girls, members of the organi sation, are participating in the pro gram. Beulah Clark will play the flute; Helen Harper of Portland, the violin; Kloiso McPherson, contralto, will sing; Bernice Yeo will plyv the piano; Gwen dolyn Lnmpshire, tin* violin; Leona Mourton, contralto, and Olive Merry, soprano, will sing and Meltrude Coe will give a piano solo.

If plans made by the fraternity are carried out, the musicale will be an annual affair in the future. ART STUDENTS TO PICNIC Students on Week-end Party at Blue River, Fishing and Hiking Trip A snow fight in May was one of the diversions of the upperclassmen of the department of architecture, while on the week end party at the ranch of E. II. McAlister, professor of much attics and astronomy. Five automobiles left Eugene at .ti.'ld Friday and carried the j fourteen students and four instructors as well as enough food to last thru a siege, to Blue river where the ranch is located. Besides Professor McAlister, the stu dents were accompanied bv Professors W. R. B. Wilcox, Virgil O. Hafen, and Eyler Brown, all of the school of arch itecture and allied arts. Mr. Wilcox was called back to Eugene on business but the other instructors remained until the return Sunday night. A climb to the snow line resulted in a battle of snow balls and some im promptu coasting somewhat wearing on the corduroys of the dignified seniors. A number of snapshots were taken on the trip. ■ Saturday some of the party hiked to Lucky Boy mine— a deserted mine in the hills will a few abandoned build ings. The others fished, and Professor llafen contributed six fish to the ham pers of food. Sunday they all motored to Foley Springs, and returned. COURSE OF RACE TO BE ALTERED THIS SUMMER Change Will Widen Stream Above the Bleachers; Work Will Be Completed by Fall, Says City Engineer Work will not be started on widening the mill-race until after the end of the term, reports Harry Devereaux, city engineer. Thus the silvery beauty of the race on moonlight nights will not be destroyed in the eyes of the pigger by ungainly machineries of all sorts. It is not definitely decided when the work will begin, but it will be com pleted by the fall. When the work starts the race will be widened above the bleachers on the opposite side. That kink will be straightened without touching the trees which are across from the Anchor age. The race will keep its present course from that point. On the side of the bleachers a 12 foot walk will be extended from the pavement, and the bank down to the race will start there. Construction of a new bridge over the race at Franklin Boulevard is to be started in a few days. This will be a roinforcd structure. The forms are being built at this time. FATHER O’HARA LECTURES Giovanni Papini is Subject of Second Talk at Newman Hall Through his study of all the races and philosophies of the world, and through his fondness for the work of the brilliant -Russian writers, Giovanni Papini, who was introduced to Ameri can readers by William James the psy chologist, became interested in the Gos pels which convinced him of the sound ness of the religion of Christ, said Rev. Edwin V. O'llara in the second talk on Religion and Scholarship, re cently at Newman hall. Just as Chesterton, Shaw and Belloc, are regarded as the literary leaders in England today, so is Papini regarded as the foremost writer in Italy, he said. Papini believes that the sole solution of the evils of the world is through the transformation of the human soul, and I that this can be brought about only through religion, the most perfect and | suitable of which, he believes, is the | one taught by Christ. This belief led him to write "Storia di Cristo,” which) is being read in all parts of the world ! today. “Many of the passages of the book1 arc in a stylo similar to that of Ches- ! tertou, and indicate that Papini is a j man of imagination and vision,” said Father O'Hara. “The English transla-j tion, b\ Dorothy Canfield Fisher, is ' beautifully done and shows what a great literary artist Papini is. The book is thoroughly enjoyable, and one that can be picked up at Odd moments ind read by anyone with sheer de light.” CAMPUS BULLETIN Notices will be printed in this column for two issues only.

Senior Class Will Star in Three Act Comedy An irrcstible comedy, full of mirth provoking episodes, is “The Charm School,” a three-act comedy hy Alice Duer Miller, to be given by the senior class of the University high school Wed nesday afternoon and Thursday evening of this week. The play deals with Austen Bevans, a young auto salesman who inherits a girl’s school, and determines to take charge of the institution and teach the students the secrets of charm. There is a heavy mortgage on the school.however, and Hol mer Johns, who holds the mortgage, wishes to get rid of Bevans in order that he may place his divorced wife at the head of the school. Johns’ niece is also a student in the school and he agrees to leave his niece and his money in the school providing none of the girls fall in love with Bevans. Bevans has already installed as teachers in the school four happy-go-lueky pals who are teaching such educational courses as the playing of a ukulele and tennis. Of course the girls have to ruin this ideal situation by promptly falling in love with all their instructors, and as a result humorous chaos ensues. The leading parts are taken by Hugh Lynch as Austen Bevans, and Maybrey Strong as Elise Benedotte. The play is to be given in the high school auditorium. Admission in 35 cents for the matinee and 50 cents for the evening perform ance. The cast is as follows: Austen Bevans .Hugh Lynch Elise Benedotte .Maybrey Strong Miss Eleanor Hays ....

The instrument was brought to Oregon in 1813. GOLF COURSE COMPLETED The golf course has been completed on the ground south of the barracks and is ready for use.
