Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIV. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1923 NUMBER 151 Oregon Knights Will Act As Ushers for Gathering on Saturday MUSIC PART OF PROGRAM Vesper Services to be Held at 2:30 at the Methodist Church Sunday A tea in alumni hall Saturday after noon from 3 to 5 is one of the chief featuf^s of the Mothers’ Day program on the campus for the week-end. But it is a tea in name only. It differs from the ordinary species in that lun cheon refreshments will be served and a large number of men will be present including the Oregon Knights who will usher. During the tea which is given under the direction of Woman’s League with Margaret Alexander in charge, a musi cal program of piano, violin and vocal solos and duets will be given by the advanced students of the school of mu sic. The Eugene mothers will be in the receiving line. Only General Gathering All students and mothers who are guests on the campus are urged to at tend since this is the only general gathering scheduled on the two days’ program, which has been simplified be cause it was felt by the committee that formerly too many events have been crowded into the program for the short time that the mothers were on the cam pus and for that reason the mothers have been too. tired to enjoy the out of doors luncheon which has always been a part of the program before. This year the tea will take the place of the regular campus luncheon. Sunday afternoon the Vespers service will e be held at the Meth odist church at 2:30, in order that those who need to leave Eugene early Sunday afternoon, may attend. John MacGregor will make the addreS3 of welcome. The response for the mothers will be made by Mrs. L. H. Johnson, ’93, mother of Donald Johnson, sopho more in the University. Mrs. Johnson Praised In speaking of Mrs. -Johnson, Dean Grace Edgington said, “Mrs. Johnson is prominent in club work in Eugene. She has always been loyal to the Uni versity and has been eager to have the University represented in the most ac credited and idealistic way. Many feel that it would be impossible to make a more suitable choice in selecting a rep resentative for the University moth ers.” “Stabat Mater,” from the “Seven Last Words of Christ,” by DuBois, will be given by the University choir with incidental solos by Mme. McGrew and John Seifert. Bishop William Beming ton, of Baker, Ores, will be the speaker. He is the Episcopal bishop of the eas tern Oregon district. Saturday Night Open Owing to the fact that the dance drama is scheduled for Saturday night and because it is desired to allow the students and their mothers to spend more time together in any way that they desire, Saturday night has been left open. On Sunday morning the Mothers’ Day services at the various Eugene churches will be held. Wesley Frater has served as general chairman of the committee for the Mothers’ Day program. ALUMNUS VISITS CAMPUS Graduates of ’14 and ’21 Classes Return to Eugene on Business IT rip Vernon Motschenbacker, ’14, a well known alumnus of the University, was a week-ed visitor on the campus. At present he is the state manager of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Co., making his headquarters in Portland. While on this business trip to Eugene he was a house guest of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity of which he is a mem ber. Mt. Motschenbacker was very prominent while on the campus. He was a Varsity baseball man, a debater and a member of the Men’s Glee club. He also was president of the student body after having been elected unanimously to that position. LILLIAN AULD IS SATE Lillian Auld sent word to her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. David Auld of Eu gene, at 5:30 Wednesday afternoon, stating that she was safe in Pekin, China, and not captured by the Chinese bandits, as had been previously re ported. Although Mrs. Lillian. Seaton, who has been traveling with Miss Auld, was not mentioned in the cable received by Mr. and Mrs. Auld, it is presumed she is also safe.

Phillips, Kuser, Evans (director), Hopkins, Meek (man ager), Dawson. New Oregon Song Will Be Feature of Men’s Home Concert Tonight I Tonight at 8:15 Oregon students and Eugene people will have an opportunity to hear the best glee club home concert ever staged here when the University of Oregon Men’s Olee Club, made up of a score of the state's best vocalists, will appear in their annual^.home con cert at the Methodist church. The use of the great pipe organ, the j careful selection of numbers on the pro gram by the director, John Stark Evans and the large number of veteran sing ers on the club, are reasons that the concert will be better than preceeding ones, according to Jimmie Meek, man ager of the organization. Quartet Will Appear Work by the quartet, the solo work of Aubrey Furry and Roy Bryson, and the presentation of a new Oregon song by “Skinny” Reid, will be featured. The program consists principally of the songs which proved most popular on the recent trip of the club although several new ones have been added. The program has been divided into two groups; the first will consist of solo and ensemble work, while the second part is given over to feature numbers. Aubrey Furry will sing two numbers, “When Song is Sweet,” Souci, and “Dawn,” Curran. Eoy Bryson, tenor, will sing, “Caro Mjo Ben,” Giordani, and “The Last Hour,” Kramer. Ronald Reid, who has proved his ability as a pianist, will give“Liebestraum,” Liszt, and “Shepherd Hey,” Grainger. Features are Listed As one of the features Cyril Vallen tyne will give “Don’t Think You’ll Be Missed,” and Curtis Phillips, “Delving into the Past.” The quartet—Curtis Phillips, John Stark Evans, Wilbur Phillips, and Aubrey Furry, in “All the Style All the While” promises to be good. The Glee Club will put on a (Continued on page three.) SPRING FOOTBALL AAEN STRUGGLE IN SAWDUST Several Former Players Out for Pre-season Work Wednesday afternoon the spring foot ball aspirants had their first taste of real “raw meat” work. For almost an hour the two teams picked by the coaches struggled over the dusty saw dust of the field, fighting in real Octo ber style. It was hot, “but that only makes us less likely to get briused,” said one sweaty, grimy lineman. The first team styled themselves the “has-beens” and the other team claim ed to be the “never weres.” Moe Sax’s work piloting the “has-beens” gave them a slight edge on the others. There were several familiar faces among the “has beens” (which name doesn’t sig nify that they will not be prominent in football circles next season). Karl Yonder Ahe, Babe McKeown, Ken Bur ton, Jens Terjeson and Ed Kirtley were all busy in the scrimmage. Harold Chapman is also turning out, although he was not in the afternoon’s melee. “There are only 16 more days of ac tual spring practice,” said Shy, “and we must make them all count. After the spring work is done we are going to have a ‘get-together’ party with a few eats for the men who came out, and then turn them all loose until next fall.” President Sax, of the L. N. P.’s or ganization of second string men, the husky bunch of neophytes the club will undoubtedly have an opportunity to ini tiate next season. “If they have the fight to stick through this hot weather they will make football players” he con tinued. Shy and Bart liked the turnout the last two nights. “But there are several more men I would like to see come out,” Shy said. “When such men as Von der Ahe and Chapman and Sax find spring football beneficial I don’t see how some of these new men figure they will get by. It takes work and brains and erve, but mostly work, to make a football man.” FRESMAN TO REPORT The following men report at Hay ward field today at 3:00.

HEALTH SITUATION ON CAMPUS INVESTIGATED State Body Visits diversity to See Conditions The state board of health, in line with its policy of visiting each of the state institutions annually, spent yes terday on the Oregon camjpus. The board is interested in all phases of stu- j dent life that affect health, according to Dr. John Bovard, who, with Dr. J. K. Livingston, arranged the details of the visit. The health service, gymnasium, swim ming pools, housing conditions in halls of residence, ventilation, water sup ply and student meals were all inves tigated by the board and will be in cluded in its report which will be made soon. At a luncheon served at Hendricks hall to the visitors, the administration officers of the University, the deans of the schools, and the staff of the health service, President Campbell pointed out the fact' that the various phases of physical education had for their ob ject not only the improvement of the individual student health, but health education in the broadest sense, which would be invaluable when college days were over. “The school of phyisacl education is only one factor in the state’s health program,” said the President. “The medical school, the school of applied sociology and the University are all cooperating and are helping to bring about a realization of Oregon’s ideal of good health for everyone.” Members of the board who were in the party werer.Dr. F. D. Striker, state health officer/ Portland; Dr. J. H. Rosenber, Prineville; Dr. C. J. Smith, Portland; Dr. W. T. Phy, Hotlake; Dr. Charles M. Barbee, Portland and Dr. W. B| Morris, Salem. RIFLE PRACTICE GIVEN The four hours of practice firing of the automatic rifle required of students taking sophomore military work is be ing done this month. The range is three miles south of Eugene. For the past week or so the second-yeav men have been receiving instruction in the nomenclature and structure of the rifle to prepare them for actual work with it. About 25 are being taken out on the range every afternoon this week. BOETTICHER VISITS CAMPUS Bob Boetticher of Albany, graduate of the University in the class of ’21, was a guest at the Phi Delta Theta house last week-end. He was well known in campus activities while here and prominent in the school of journalism in which he majored. He is on the staff of the Albany Herald at present. Mr. Boetticher is a member of Phi Delta Theta. RELIGION NEEDED TO EXPLAIN FACTS Bowman Addresses Students At Assembly; Conflict Be lieved Reconcilable ORIGIN AND END QUESTION Beginning and Ultimate Destiny of Evolutionary Process is Expained by Theism Reconciliation of the conflict be tween science and religion was tho theme of the address delivered yester day morning in Villard hall by Dr. Har old L. Bowman, pastor of the First Presbyterian church in Portland. With God the father, men the brothers, Christ ther ulor, righteousness the goal, and love the aim, we will have fulfilled the desired end—a king dom of God on earth, said Dr. Bowman, summarizing his speech on the Bible and Science. Science, from the time Darwin pub lished the “Origin of the Species,” ! opened the way for a new field of ! thought and research from which has grown the common belief of evolution, pointed out the Portland pastor. This evolution is conceived of as beginning with the unicelluar stage and ever working upward through increasingly complex forms of life until man appears on the earth. Much has been done to ward solving the mysteries of evolution —so much in fact that many question the authenticity of the Bible and ask how it can be accepted in the face of evidence supporting the doctrines of evolution, said the speaker. But the pos tulates of evolution do not sufficiently explain all things, however. Dr. Bow man said that scientific men have be come so immersed in their material study of evolution that they have shut out God altogether from their reckon ing, failing to see how science and re ligion can in anyway be correlated. Two Not Estranged Speaking about Science and religion, Dr. Bowman said: “They are really brothers and are not estranged, adap tative and not supplementary.” The assembly speaker said that there were two things in the evolutionary process which are inexplicable to scientists and acknowledge by them—tw)o points which are very strong links in the theorie of evolution. “They are, From where comes the ultimate origin of this process, and what is the ultimate des tiny of that process?"said Dr. Bow man. Science, explained tho speaker, answers the question of how the process developed, and the Bible answers the question of whose mind made the pro cess, and why the process was made— that there might be character devel oped fit to enter into fellowship with God. “Science nas Deon 01 inestimaDie value, yet has its limitations. It must learn to take into consideration the spiritual side of man’s nature as well as the physical; it must build on all the facts, and man cannot be fully ex plained by only a Btudy of the material side of his make-up,” continued Dr. Bowman. “For that (reason, Christ was sent to be the dominating factor in furthering aid in spiritual development. Science must keep an open mind.” God Is Spiritual “That man is made in the image of God is often misconstrued,” Dr. Bow man told the assembled students. “Man is not made in God’s likeness physi cally, but spiritually.” Frank Jue, tenor, sang several selec tions as a prelude to the assembly hour. He was accompanied on the piano by John Stark Evans. SOCIAL WORK PROGRESSES Board of Regents to be Luncheon Guests of Portland School June 5 The Portland School of Social Work will hold a celebration for its stu dents Tuesday, June 5. The students will have breakfast at a spot chosen on the Columbia river, south of Portland, according to Dr. P. A. Parsons. At noon there will be a luncheon at which the President and members of the bfnrd of regents will be guests and lit which the members of all boards of directors of the cooperative agencies will be present. The first of the semi annual addres ses will be given before a group of stu dents. Dr. Parsons will speak and there will also be a reception. This is in tended as a small beginning of student body activity in the way of celebration. The students have an assembly every week and once a month have social affairs at the homes of members of the class taking social service work. As a part of their work for next year, the Junior League girls of Port land have asked for a course in philan thropy from Dr. Parsons. OREGON BEACON READY FOR MAIL Six Initiates Edit Paper for Junior Class “The Oregon Beacon,” an associated student publication edited by tho Sig ma Delta Chi initiates who yesterday entertained tho University populace from the library steps, was'printed on tho University Press Thursday and will be mailed to all tho high schools in the state today. It is a four-page paper, one-half as large as tho Emerald, and contains no advertising. Ted Janes, one of the six neophytes who will be formally initiated into tho professional fraternity next Sunday, is editor of the paper, and Lyle Janz, business manager of the Oregon Daily Emerald, is manager. The other four initiates—Lester Turnbaugh, Monte Byers, Alfred Erickson, and Bandolph Kuhn—are listed as associate editors. The Beacon .is filled with items, in formation, and news stories about the University and contains an invitation from the junior class to high school seniors to visit Eugene and the Univer sity during the annual Junior week end. A program of the week-end events is also printed. It is probablo that Sigma Delta Chi will edit such a minature newspaper annualy hereafter. FROSH WIN CONTEST . FROM SALEM BY 19-9 Three Yearlings Hit Homers; Harrison Works Fine Yesterday was home run day on Cem etery Ridge. Four circuit clouts and several three-baggers were the out standing features in the batting melee between the frosli and Salem high school, which the babes walked away with, 19 to 9. Bittner, Hobson, and Bliss played tlio Babe Ruth roles with the latter securing a pair of four base swats. Fred Harrison, who performed in the box for the freshmen, also connected for a long distance bingle, that was good for a homer but the big twirler preferred to saunter around the bags and only got as far as third. Bittner came near getting three homers, his first attempt being a triple to deep center. The game was a slugfest from begin ning to end. Salem took the lead with two runs in the first and in the second canto the frosli began their barrage and ran in seven runs. After that they were never headed. The Oregon babes connected for three more in the fourth and two in the fifth. Two successive homers by Bittner and Hobson account ed for the two in the fifth. Harrison breezed along in fine style until the sixth when ho suffered a temporary streak of wildness which allowed the visitors to score five. Another pair in the seventh ended their scoring for the day. The babes crossed the plate in every frame but the third, driving Blumenberg from the mound in the seventh. Hobson and Bittner took tho batting honors for the day. Hobson secured four safe hits in five times at bat while Bittner connected safely three times in five up. The two teams will meet again this afternoon at four o’clock. The score: R H E Frosh .19 13 4 Salem . 9 8 4 Batteries: Frosh, Harrison and Bliss; Salem, Blumenberg, D. Adolph, and Jones. VARIED PROCRAM III DANCE DRAMA PLEASES CROWD Guild Hall Production Draws Audience’s Support; Work of Lillian Stupp TWENTY-EIGHT IN GROUP Special Harp Solos Played by * Doris Helen Patterson Well Received By Henryetta Lawrence Full of colorful imagination, beauty and interest was the dance drama pre sented last night in Guild hall, by the advanced students of Mass Lillian Stupp’s dancing class. It was the first production of its kind to be given on the Oregon campus, and the audience, which filled the hall was enthusiastic and generous in applause. Last night’s performance showed the result of many weeks of strenuous work. The costum ing and lighting effects were unusual and the beauty and marked simplicity of the ontire program were deserving of the deep appreciation displayed by the audience. Twenty-eight in Group The drama was staged by t%e majors in the physical education department. The dancers, twenty-eight in number, are members of the advanced class in educational interpretive dancing, which has been introduced here by Miss Stupp, for the first time this year. The program, especially arranged in three parts included a selection by Sir Sam uel Ferguson, was weird in its move ments and bore out the tragic ending with realism. Atlanta Vic torious, a number on the Junior Vaude ville program, broke away from more aesthetic type of dancing and portray ed that of the Athenian. Perhaps the most lovely in its charm and grace was the scarf dance, vivid in color, and life and beauty. Les Petites Etudes, a group of child studies, were so cleverly drawn from the soldierly bearing of the members of the Soldiers’ Chorus, the jerking strides and motions of the New Doll, the awkward and clumsy characteris tics of the Big Brown Bear, the gymnas tic tumbling of Baggedy Ann and Rag gedy Andy to the jovial character of Ole King Cole, that the grown ups heartily welcomed their youthful ac quaintances. Harp Solos Features Dream Gate, which depicted the ex periences of a mortal child who spends an hour on a Mid-Summer eve in a magic garden separated from the mortal world by a dream gate, closed the pro gram which proved of varied and un usual dances, in which the beauty of the aesthetic to the clumsiness of Bag gedy Ann were displayed. An orchestra composed of piano, violin, cello and harp, accompanied the dancers through out tho entire program. Special harp solos, by Doris Helen Patterson, a wtelvo year old student of the junior high school, were deligtfully received, and her interpretation of the Rosary was exceedingly creditable. The opening number on the program formed the frieze of the drama and the garlands of flowers held by the dancers lent a very colorful effect to the stage. Tho orchestration of the dance proved an interesting piecefof work with each violin, cello and harp. The Fairy Thom taken from an Irish ballad, entirely pleasing and delighftul to its specta tors. Sigma Delta Chi Speechmakers Orate Before Library Throng Six starchy white, stiff bosoms. Behind them, six wobbly-kneed neo phytes, with one plug hat which pas sed from speaker to speaker. Behind this motley crew was the library, be fore it the usual Thursday morning crowd which gathers to hoot at the ear nest endeavors of some group of ini tiates or to laugh in fiendish glee at the misfortunes of some hapless tradition breaker of the freshman clan. Lester Turnbaugh was the first of the Sigma Delta Chi’s to take up the bludgeon and rail against the present order of things. Lyle Janz, the money grabber for the Emerald, was the next to take the opportunity to suggest a few radical changes. Among other suggestions he urged that more encour agement shoull be given to the present generation of piggers. His brief ad dress showed a very comprehensive knowledge of such affairs and their remedies. Monte Elyers, whose ability as a man ipulator of the English language, is well known, had several suggestions concerning professors that were well worth the consideration of any liberal minded person. Ted Janes, whose dea con-like facial expression belied the subtlo humor of his text, suggested some valuable additions to the present physical education program. “Swedo” Erickson was the next to take the plug hat, which was surrender ed in turn by each finishing speaker. His act was so well received that it was impossible to hear his speech on account of the applause. Ho gavo a classic interpretation of the one-time famous shimmy, his knees being the chief performers. It must be said in his favor that he was unfortun ate enough to have an exceptionally tight pair of pants that made any slight undulation of his lower extremeties very visible while the other initiates had foresight enough to obtain dress suits that were plenty large enough to hide any uncontrollable leg movement. Last on the list was “Kap” Kuhn, who, after introducing himself as La jheal Vindsay, reeled off pome after pome in a easy manner that would have made the vagabond poet look to his laurels, had he heard the jingling verses that were free in every sense of the word.
