Oregon Daily Emerald ___tflfIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1923 . .NUMBER 150 Art Rudd Will Edit 1923-24 Emerald " ; ■---—— i PORTLAND PASTOR ■ ILL LECTURE IN k - Dr. Harold Bowman to Discuss Relation of the Bible and Science in Villard FRANK JUE WILL BE SOLOIST Presbyterian Minister to Talk To Students at Y. M. Hut at Afternoon Session The message awaiting the Univer sity at the regular assembly this morn ing will be given by Dr. Harold L. Bow man, pastor of the first Presbyterian church of Portland on the subject of "Science and the Bible.” Owing to Dr. Bowman’s great popularity in the Uni versity community . since his appear ance here last year before the student body, an unusually large crowd is ex pected to jam the time-honored hall in Villard and students are advised to reach their places early. Music will bef urnished by Frank Jue, of the school of music, who will sing several solos. Amvea x esteraay Dr. Bowman arrived on the campus yesterday and spoke before a group of students at noon at the Y. M. C. A. hut. He will also speak again today at the hut on “The Bible as Autobio graphy.” The lecture will begin at 4:15 and is open to-all students. The subjects of the visitor’s lectures are of especial interest and value to Uni versity students who are taking courses in World history and Literature as they deal directly with literary and histori cal aspects of the Bible, which are dis cussed in these classes and will give the viewpoint of this eminent theolo gian on these questions which are being so widely debated at present in the stu dent world. “It is my conviction that religion is the supreme element in the creation of character and this has impelled me to become a minister,” said Dr. Bowman recently in an interview. “The life of Jesus Christ was a supreme success and the person who lives in accord with his teachings and is dominated by the spirit of his life will attain a fineness of character which can be gained in no other way. Such success will endure not only through time, but through eter nity. It is a great privilege to be a minister with a message like that.” Sums Up Christian Character Dr. Bowman continued by summing up essential elements of the character of a Christian by saying that these in cluded purity, integrity, service and a brotherly attitude toward men. His address this morning will deal with the relative functions of the Bible and modern science in religion. It is a matter of surmise whether this will in clude a discussion of Darwinism in connection with religion but the rela tion of science and its apparent conflict with many religious convictions is a subject of never-failing interest which is certain to absorb the speaker’s hear (Continued on page three.) Lillian Auld Reported by Cable to Be Safe in China Belief Is That Former Oregon Student Went to Peking by Water and Escaped Bandits; Press Affirms Message ! Lillian Auld, Oregon graduate re ported to have been captured by Chinese bandits, is said to be safe in Shanghai, according to cables received in Eugene yesterday by Mrs. W. G. Hale, wife of Dean Hale of the University law school, and sister-in-law of John Sawyer, United States vice-counsel at Shanghai, who sent one of the cables. Mrs. Hale said that word had been received from Mrs. Sawyer a few days ago saying that Miss Auld and Mrs. Lillian Seton were ex | pected in that city at about the time the | bandit raid took place. Mr. Auld then cabled to Mr. Sawyer, who sent the fol lowing reply yesterday morning: “With us yesterday. Gone to Peking.” As the railroads between Shanghai and Peking are torn up, it is thought that Miss Auld and Mrs. Seton went to Peking by water. Press reports also affirm the statement that both Miss Auld and Mrs. Seton were safe in Shanghai. Mrs. Murray Warner, who recently ar rived in Eugene from the Orient, re ceived a letter from Mrs. Sawyer two days ago in which the latter stated that she was planning a honse-boat party for Miss Auld and Mrs. Seton as soon as they arrived in Shanghai. As friends at Manila did not know that Miss Auld and Mrs. Seton were planning on stopping in Shanghai, they supposed that the twn women had been on the train held up by the bandits, as they would have been on their way to Peking at about the time the raid occurred. This was the ex planation given by Mrs. Hale as to the reason the first reports stated Miss Auld and Mrs. Seton were captured. It is supposed that Miss Auld .and Mrs. Seton were on the house-boat party at the time they were sought in Shang hai. It was stated by Mrs. Hale that such explanation was not authentic, but that friends had put facts, piece by piece, together, and had reached such a conclusion. mm GALLIER CHOSEN TO REIGNJNCJINOE FETE 813 Votes Cast in Balloting for Queen Candidate Gladys Gallier of Hendricks hall will reign as the first queen of the Junior Week-end canoe fete, as a result of the election held yesterday. A total of 813 votes were cast at this election, which was held at the same time as the student body one. A great deal of in terest was shown over the voting and' there were several strong contenders in the race, according to Ed Haney* who was in charge of the affair. The plan of having a queen at the canoe fete was a new one this year, and members of the junior class are assured success with the results of the election, Haney said. The queen will be placed on the jun ior float which will precede all the others in the fete. The float is to be attractively decked up with lights. Two flower girls are also to be on the float, and violins are to play during the pro cession of the floats. The queen will be given a prominent place during the evening, but it is undecided as yet as to whether she will be placed on the bleachers or on the junior float which may be drawn over to the side opposite the bleachers. Other candidates voted upon yester day were Margaret Alexander, Mary Alexander, Georgia Shipley, Florence Crandall, Marjorie Hazard, Dorothy Jean Simonton, Margaret Seymour, Al icia Agnew, Gwladys Keeney, Gertrude McIntyre, Marion Lay, Elsie Skoog, Grace Caviness, Helen Ball, Adah Hark ness and Gladys Wright.

No Thrills at Polls in 1900 “The elections were held on Wed nesday and everything passed off quiet ly. There was no ill feeling among the various candidates and the lucky ones have the best wishes of all.” This, the first record of student body elections, ran ineonspiciously in the Oregon Weekly of October 8, 1900. Five offices were filled, presidency, vice presidency (a woman), secretary', treas urer, and an extra member of the exe cutive committee. “No excitement at the polls—no op posing candidates,”—ran the headlines the following year. The nominations included one man for both presidency and secretaryship, and a woman for secretary and for treasurer, but the Weekly for October 7, 1901 states, “The resignation of Oscar Gorrell as candi date for president and secretary res pectively, and likewise Kate Wilson's resignation as candidate for treasurer, left everybody without opposition and made the election a very tame affair. Only about 50 ballots were cast.” In 1903 the student body revolution ized things in general, adding 16 more offices and changing the time of elec tions to the spring instead of the fall. “Last Wednesday was election day at the University and every office from presidency down to committee for ora tory and debate was filled,” states the May 25, 1903, Weekly. “There were 44 candidates in the field and only 21 offices to fill. The contest was sharpest over the positions of treas urer, and editor-in-chief of the Weekly. Every Ashland student won that ran for office and some disinterested par ties thought they could discern the workings of an ' Ashland machine. ’ ” By ten years ago the political ma (Continued on page three.)

Special costumes have been planned for all the dances on the pro gram. An orchestra composed of violin, cello and piano will play during the evening, and a special harp solo will also be given. The box office at Guild hall will be open today from 2 to 6 and seats may be reserved for this evening’s performance.

NINE THIS WEEK Two Game Series to be Played on Corvallis Campus in Junior’s Program W. S.C. HERE NEXT MONDAY Cougers Reported to Have Strong Team of Veterans for This Season This week-end will find the Varsity journeying to Corvallis to cross bats with the Aggie toss^rs, as one of the features of the O. A. C. Junior Week end festivities. The entire squad will undoubtedly make the trip as there is always the chance of injury. The Corvallis diamond is a hard one to play on and the Varsity will find it a difficult matter to come out ahead in the series. The numerous errors made by the frosh tossers, gives some indication of the condition of the play ing field over there. Either Watson or Cook will officiate behind the bat, with the latter having the call. He has worked in all of the important games so far this season. Bohler will no doubt use his big cards in the box, Baldwin and Shields. If the Aggie members get too strong, Skin ner, Brooks, or Stoddard can be count ed on to heave the gr.enade. Stoddard worked against the Eugene town team Tuesday evening anl appeared to be rounding into form. Johnson Out Again Hunk Latham will hold court around the initial hassock and Svarverud will be stationed at the hot corner. Warde Johnson put in an appearance Tuesday for the first time since he broke a bone in his foot. This means that there will be a battle on for first base in the future. Jimmy Ross is still on the crippled list and will not be able to invade the Aggie stronghold. The keystone bur den will fall upon either Shafer or Moore. Shafer’s ankle is not entirely healed yet and he may not start. Traut man handled the bag in creditable shape against the Eugene team and he may get a chance to demonstrate his wares in the week-end series. Captain Zimmerman will lead the nine from the short patch. Formerly an outfielder, he is settling down to the infield job with a vengeance and is going better every day. Outfield Positions Uncertain In the outfield Roycroft, Collins and either Sorsby or Sullivan will work. Sorsby has an infected wrist and may have to hug the bench and in that case Sullivan will handle one of the gardens. Sorsby’s loss will be keenly felt as he is a sure fielder and a consistent hit ter. Baldwin, Shields and Brooks can be used in the outfield if necessary. Shields proved his worth as a pinch hitter in the game with Pacific, crush ing out the hit that spelled victory and handling one or two chances in the field. In facing the Aggies, the Varsity is going up against a well-balanced ag gregation. They have a strong twirl ing staff and a strong fielding and hit ting team. •Monday and Tuesday the W. S. C. clubbers will invade the ridge diamond for a two-game series. Last year they were runners up in the conference, los ing to Washington. This year they have a veteran team, which can field and hit with the best in the conference. Their battery combination is strong and the varsity will be forced to the limit to take the visitor’s measure on the ridge.

CARTER IS NAMED VICE-PRESIDENT BY CLOSE COUNT Freda Goodrich Is Elected Oregana Editor by Good Majority; Tapfer Gains Over Day for Position on Executive Council; All Amendments Pass by Big Vote; Total Number of Ballots Cast Sets Record Claude Robinson was elected president of the A. S. U. 0. yester day in the heaviest balloting recorded in regular elections of the student body of the University, the vote being 917 to 478. As a running mate for the coming year, Prank Carter took the office of vice-president by a substantial majority. Art Rudd will hold the editorial chair of the Emerald for 1923-24, winning over his nearest opponent with a lead of 127 votes. Marcella Berry will record the minutes of the Associated Students, having been elected to the secretaryship by a close margin. Freda Goodrich was easily the choice of the voters for editor of the 1924 Oregana. Ed lapfer won a place on the executive council as junior man, the ballots counting 763 to 564 for Jack Day. The seven amendments as presented for consideration were acted upon favorably and in most cases by a strong majority of the voters. Although the campaign this spring had seemed remarkably quiet and comparatively little interest was shown in electioneering on the campus, about 350 more students went to the polls this year than last. In practically every case there were no neck-and-neck races between candi dates. The nearest approach to an un certain return was that of junior wo man on the student council, where at one time the count was: Augusta De Witt, 212; Margaret McCabe, 221; and Mary Skinner, 206. Later, however, Augusta DeWitt took the lead, finish ing with a 122 majority. Uncontested offices were for junior woman of the executive council, taken by Kate Pinneo, and for senior women on the student council, where two were to be elected. These were taken by Lurliue Coulter and Gladyse Wright. Hal Chapman early took honors in the contest for one of the senior men on the student council, maintaining a lead of two to one throughout the evenhig until the final results were known^The two other men elected as senior men RESULTS OF A.

Hesden Metcalf led off with a fast pace in the race for junior men on the student council, and easily maintained a safe margin throughout the counting. His partner on the council is Milton Brown, who took the office with a small lead over Thomas Crosthwait. Others out for the office were Herbert Brooks and L. E. Angell. Bob Mautz romped into the office of sophomore man with over a three to one lead over Lea MePike. Jack Myers will lead the rooters next fall, being chosen Yell King, by a strong vote .over Ted Baker. A large crowd of students filled the east entrance of Villard hall as early as four o’clock, when first returns were posted on the bulletin board. Bul letins were posted every hour, but many of the watchers grew tired and dropped jut as the winners in most cases seem ed certain by nine o 'clock. The counting was quite slow, final results not being available until mid night. It is estimated that an unusually large percentage of men voted this year, the number as computed from the' checks on the voting list being 815. The percentage of women who attended the polls was' not so high, 780 being the figure given. Thirty-three students were disqual ified from voting due to non-payment of registration and laboratory fees. There are 2400 students now registered in the University. Although the polls were crowded be tween classes, the voting was quite steady throughout the day, until they were closed at three o’clock. The chairman of the election committee was Dick Sundeleaf. Percy Locey Elected President at O. A. C. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, May 9.—(Special to The Emerald)—Percey Locey, of foot ball fame, was elected president of the 0. A.
