Another Tradition Gone
No candidates’ statements will be solicited this year!
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. The first five
girls are members of Mu Phi Epsilon,
women’s national music fraternity.
Miss Clark, Miss Mourton and Miss
Harper, who are not attending school
this year, will come to Eugene to take
part. Miss dean Harper, a sister of
Miss Helen Harper, will come with her
sister from Portland to accompany her
on the piano.
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.”

Dr. R. L. Benson Tests
Stains in Murder Case
Blood tests made by Dr. R. L. Ben
son, of the University of Oregon school
of medicine, from stains found on the
clothes of George E. Whitfield, of
Clarke county, Washington, formed an
important link in the chain of circum
stantial evidence that convicted Whit
field on first degree murder Sunday-.
The jury recommended that he be
hanged.
Dr. Benson testified at the trial that
he had made over 400 tests, because he
realized that a man’s life was at stake,
and was absolutely certain that the
stains were of human blood. The meth
od used in the test, he declared, were
standard all over the world and were
infallible. Whitfield was convicted of
killing 11-year-old Anna Nosko, of Bat
tie Ground, Washington.

CHARM SCHOOL” TO BE
PRESENTED AT U. H S.
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.

HISTORY CLASS VISITS
OLD PIONEER LANDMARK
Students Watch Celebration of the
Founding of State
Government
The Oregon History Seminar class,
accompanied by Dr. Robert C. Clark,
head of the history department, mo
tored to Champeog to be present at he
eightieth anniversary of the roganiza
tion of the provisional government of
Oregon. The party left Hugene Satur
day morning and returned at 11 o ’clock
that night.
This was the twenty-third gathering
of the pioneers and relatives of the
signers of the original constitution for
the provisional government at Cham
peog.
Community singing, speeches from the
old pioneers and sight seeing through
the historical spots in • the vicinity of
Champeog were enjoyed by the party.
On the return trip, the party visited
Saint Raul, where the first Catholice
church was built. The old brick build
ing is still standing in its original form.
Twenty miles from Salem is the first
Methodist mission, founded by Jason
Lee. The party lingered to inspect the
historical edifice. At Salem, the State
House was visited. The flags that were
used in the Indian wars were examined.
One of the pioneers, a 76 year old
veteran, entertained the audience by
playing quaint melodies on a two hun
dred year old violin. 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. It is free and the
only prohibition is that players should
wear heelless shoes -on the green. The
course will be a three hole one. It has
been under construction for some time.
Some time in the future a list of rules
will be posted on the course for the
guidance of beginners. A great deal
of interest has been shown in golf this
year and the course promises to be one
of the most popular places on the cam
pus.

TT was the first question in the course on Shav

He referred, of course, to the Williams’
Hinged Cap which you see pictured here. This
invention puts an end for all time to the nuis
ance of hunting for lost caps. As you see, the
Williams’ cap is hinged on. It’s the only col
