Newspaper Page TextLibrary A t VOLUME XXIV. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 16. 1923 NUMBER 155 OREGAHS TO BE GIVEN OUT FROM Manager to Circulate Books From Windows 14 and 15 of Ad Building PRICE LOWER THIS YEAR Extra Copies Will be on Hand for Those not Having Placed Orders Evidence that another year in the life of the University and its students has rolled by, and is now history, is pre sented by the announcement of Yelma Farnham, editor of the 1923 Oregana, that that book will be ready for student distribution Thursday morning at 10 o’clock. The polls qf distribution will be windows 14 and 15 on the second floor of the Administration building. “We have tried faithfully,” was the message Miss Farnham gave to the stu dent bod^ on behalf of the staff, “to typify Oregon life of the past year, and to crystallize in a permanent, valuable, historical form, events which will be nearest and dearest to the hearts of the present generation of students when they remember those days at Oregon.” The entire staff has worked hard and without any let-up whatsoever on the book, but the pleasure of the work has made us forget the hard grind. I am grateful to the students of the Univer sity for giving me the privilege of edi ting such a book as this, and I now turn my work back to them, hoping that it will be in every way satisfactory.” Cost is Less The cost of this year’s Oregana ac cording to Miss Farnham will be $4.50. This is 25 cents lower than last year’s edition of the book, and the difference is attributed to the fact that this year’s volume “got the breaks” in better con tracts and labor conditions. According to Miss Farnham the Oregana has been self-supporting for the past three years and each year has been slightly less expensive than the previous year. A few extra copies of the Oregana will be held for sale at the distribu tion offices for those who were unable to turn in regular orders ill advance. As a celebration of the completion of their work, the staff of the book, to gether with two past editors, the editor elect, and invited guests of the campus, gave a dinner, dance at the Anchorage, a week before the release of the vol ume to the general campus. A feature of the party which has come to be an annual affair, was a large cake baked in the form of a large book, the top being composed of a replica of the cover of the present edition of the year book. EMPLOYEES TO FORM TEAM Those on University Payroll to Enter Independent Baseball League The U. of O. employees intend to a baseball team in an independent league to be formed in Eugene. There are five other teams in the league be sides the University team and although it was the desire of the University squad to gain admission to the twilight league of Eugene, this league already had its full quota of teams and it was found necessary to form another. At the end of the season, the winners in each league will play the winners of the other for the championship title. Anyone conected with the University with the exception of paid athletes, is extended an invitation to try out for the team. First practice will be held tonight at 5 o’clock. MEMORY LAPSES HIT PROFESSORS Students Not Only Ones to Err in Checks Shades of a no-fund check!—or the tale of an offender, who wasn’t a stu dent. A University of Oregon professor, who is also on the lists as a student for the payment of registration fees, walk ed into the registrar’s office not long ago and asked for a “Captial National bank check.” On being told that there was no such bank in Eugene, he said, “Well, name over all the banks and perhaps I can remember the name of the one I have my money in.” The sequel to this little tale is not yet forthcoming. For the sake of the honor of the University, it is to be hoped he wrote a check on the right bank. Otherwise—well, murder will out! And, sad to relate, he is not the only absent minded professor on the cam pus, for not long ago a check, was re ceived at the registrar’s office on which the figures 98c were written; but underneath, the professor had written “Ninety-eight - dollars.” It would therefore seem that educa tional folders for the faculty would not be out of place. NEXT GUILD HALL PLAY IS HILARIOUS COMEDY “The Great Broxopp” to be Given May 25, 26 and 27 “The Great Broxopp,” with Kate Pin neo, Vera Fudge, Elizabeth Robinson, and David Swanson in the leading roles, and a selected group supporting them, will be produced by the University Com pany three nights, beginning the 25th of this month. An English comedy, subtle, amusing, full of clever situations, it will probably be one of the funniest plays attempted by the players. It is unusual also in the fact that there are four leads of equal importance. The whole thing is well rounded technically, c.nd not at all lack ing in character delineation. Broxopp, the real hero of the play, is a very sincere, frank old fellow who has a gift for thinking of euphonious sell ing slogans, and is as proud of his brain children as if they were new versions of “Paradise Lost.’-’ He gets on well as long as his adoring wife continues to think his slogans as wonderful as she thinks him. But when his son has fin ally grown, gone to Eton and Oxford, fallen in love, and has become sensitive about “ Broxopp’s Beans for Babies” ad which contains his baby picture, the gen ial old Broxopp is disturbed. How he goes about undoing the unwel come publicity which his son has re ceived at his hands, and how he dis covers happiness in the end is a long story on which the plot hinges. There is one character in the play who is a real treat and that is Iris, the son’s fiancee. She is an honest girl, and that is quite a phenomenon. Incidentally she is a joy to old Broxopp’s heart. She has a sense of humor that is delicious and it saves many situations. The whole play attains the high stan dards set by Guild hall for itself in the. past year and speaks well for the Com pany which is attempting it. HALE TO SPEAK IN PORTLAND Dean William G. Hale will address the senior class of Lincoln high school in Portland June 11. His talk will be on the University and what is offered in the different departments. The mem orial address at Silverton will also be given by Dean Hale on May 30. PLEDGING ANNOUNCED Alpha Tau Omega announces the pledging of Lee Hoskins of Portland. Doom of Fraternities Sensed by Editor of Denunciatory Sheet T !■■■■! “The fellow who can talk easily, dress well and make good with the girls is not infrequently considered more desirable than one who has intel lectual ambitions and sterling moral qualities, but who is less characterized by social finesse.” “It seems that fraternities do have ideals, but in order to be a good fellow and a popular member one must necessarily violate them one and all.” Thus reads an eight by five-inch yel low pamphlet that is being left on the threshold of the men’s letter organiza tions. The booklet informs the mem bers of the passing of fraternities and accuses the Greek letter organizations, in denunciatory language, of impro rieties, of immoralities, and failure to fulfill the high ideals of university life. ^George P. Gundelfinger, Ph. D., author of “Ten Years at Yale,” entitles his bulletin ’’The Passing of Brother Greek.” He uses as material “The Fra ternity and Undergraduates?” by T. A. Clark, dean of men at fche University of Illinois and his own experiences as proc tor of a fraternity dormitory. Mr. Clark published his book to defend thd fraternities but Mr. Gundelfinger de clares the work is inconsistent and straighway attempts to point out the illogical defence. Fraternities are doomed, he predicts. “It is clear that the fraternity must pass out of the colleges,” writes Mr. Gundelfinger. , This prophecy is based on the charges that the college has failed to raise the social and ethical standards of the or ganizations. Scholastic records among the fraternities are low. The influ ence of the npperclassmen upon the sus ceptible freshman is bad. Socially fraternity men are superior <« <t pa«> tkiM.} ATHLETES FINISH LIST THTOUT FOR O.A.C.TRACKMEET Final Preparations for Junior Week-end Contest with Aggies Are Made FIELD MEN ARE SELECTED Chosen Officials Are Asked to Report Thursday to Get Their Instructions Preparations for the premier athletic svent of Junior Week-end, the Oregon 0.

C. drill have put in their re quired number ef hours and are through with the work for the year, says Colo nel Sinclair. After drill next Tuesday the military work will be practically suspended, although there will still be a few men who will have hours to make up. Many men took advantage of the opportunity bofore the inspection last month and attended the extra periods scheduled, for which they received cre dit. The R. O. T. C. band has been asked by the American Legion to supply music for the Memorial day services. Plans for the day are not mature yet, and it has not been decided whether the cadets will turn out for the parade. If they are needed by the patriotic or ganization in charge, it> wifi be up to the men to decide whether to respond, Colonel Sinclair states.

Hundreds of “preppers” from all parts of the northwest will begin coming in tomorrow noon and by Fri day noon every living organization on the campus will be full to the door ways with wide awake youngsters “anxious to see Oregon.” Reports at last night’s meeting of the directorate indicate that plans are well in hand. Heavy demands on Jun iors’ time will be made all week-end and Doug Farrell, chairman of the com mittee, urges that members of the class of ’24 remember this in making their plans for the next few days. Junior Meeting Tonight Tonight at 5 o’clock a Junior class meeting has been called by Jimmie Meek, president of the class, for the purpose of outlining the work which the juniors must do to make the week end a success. “It is absolutely im perative that every Junior be there in order that this year’s Junior Week-end be absolutely a number one,” he said last night. Committees for the coming class elections will be appointed tonight and a short discussion of a possible Junior dance is also scheduled on the class meeting program. Knut Digerness, Frank Dorman, Jean Du Paul, Vincent Engeldinger, Alfred Erickson, Arthur Everett, Cecil Fargher, Henry Foster, Donald Fraser, and Armand Fuchs have been drafted for work on the blachere at 3:15 this afternoon. Practically every member of the junior class will be needed either at the armory or on the bleachers is the edict the class officials announced last night.

Lyle Palmer is chairman on this fea ture, which is scheduled for 10:30 Sat urday morning. It promises to be one of the most interesting parts of the entire program as some of the best swimmers in the state are slated to take part. Tickets are now on sale for the canoe fete and the prom. Every “prep per” is expected to register at the Ad building soon after his arrival. At that time each will be given a ticket admit ting him to all events. This will do away with paying for guests. However students are to be charged one dollar for prom tickets and 25c for bleacher seats at the fete. Townspeople and faculty must pay for bleacher tickets. “Gallery gods” at the prom will be required to pay 25c for their seats. Tickets are on sale for _ ,, r-• w i (Continued on pngo four.)

SMOOTH WORKING COUGAR MACHINE OUTHITS VARSITY Washington State Nine Romps Off With Second Game by Scoring 10 Runs to 4 SORSBY HITS LONG HOMER Heavy Swatting of Northerners Proves Nemesis of Oregon in Later Innings Timely hitting, fast fielding, and Ore gon errors enabled the hard hitting Cougars to claw down the varsiy col ors for the second time, taking yester day’s ball game by a 10 to 4 score and making H two straight for the series. Every man on the Washington team ex cept Beneke and Sandberg got at least one hit and all except Beneke succeeded in crossing the plate at least once. Sors by and Svarverud were the big guns in the Oregon offensive, each connecting twice in four trips to the platter. One of Sorsby’s blows sailed over the cen ter fielder's head and allowed the little fellow to make the trip around the bags, unmolested. For the first two innings, Shields had the Northerners eating out of his hand, and when, in the last half of the sec ond, the locals cracked out three saf eties for two runs, it looked like an Oregon day. Their lead was short lived, however, for in the very next canto the Staters opened fire and Oregon blew up, and when they came back to earth, three Cougars had romped safely across the rubber. In their half of tfoe inning, the var sity stickors responded nobly to the plea of the bleaclierites and chased in another score, evoning the count. The score was made as a result of Sorsby’s single, Collin’s sacrifice, and an error on the part of the Cougar third saclcer. Tlio visitors came back in the first of the fourth and annexed two more runs and from then on they were never headed. The big sticks of Foster, Rob erts, Hanley and Bray were responsible for the counters. Homer Is Spoiled Washington added two more in the sixth when Johnny Zaepfel pushed one of Tiny’s fast ones out half way to the school of education building for three bags. The clout wouldvhave easily gone for a homer had it not hit one of the cars parked out in the outer garden. A sharp single by Roberts scored Zaep fel and a single by Cook, after Bray had walked, seored Roberts. Applequist’s men were not content with this lead, however, and in the seventh they chased another run across. In the ninth, they took advantage of the varsity errors and another pair of runs scampered home. Oregon’s fourth and last tally came in the eighth when Bill Sorsby collected his four-ply swat. Washington State left this morning for Corvallis where they will play a two-game series with the Aggies. The (Continued on page three.) MRS. GIFFEN GOING TO OHIO Mrs. Bruce J. Giffen, wife of the student pastor, leaves today for Oxford, Ohio, to attend the commencement exer cises at Western college there to be held June 6, when she will receive her B. A. degree. Mrs. Giffen attended Western College before her marriage, but has finished her work for her degree while here at the University of Oregon. Mrs. Giffen expects to be away about two months, planning to visit her old home at Hebion, Indiana, after commence ment. Russian College Life Stormy Declares American Observer What would you think of a University which did not educate its students along the lines of the chief problems of the country to which it was native? What is the use of an education which does not really educate along vital lines, arid which is restricted and hampered at every step? Such is the sorry tale told of the Russian colleges by George M. Day, sec retary of the Pacific Coast division of the Student Christian Foreign Friend ship movement of the Y. M. C. A, who is visiting on the campus until Thursday morning. Mr. Day was in Russia from 1909 until 1917, and during this time he attended the Unievrsity of Fetrograd as an “auditor” student. The career of the Russian University life under the czarist regime, under the more moderate Kerensky rule, and under the earlier and later stages of the soviet government has been stormy, to say the least. Fought by the church, suppressed by the government police, under despot ism, the student class in Russia was again in serious danger under tlie rule of the Bolsheviks, according to Mr. Day. Only under the government of Kerensky, whom they backed to the limit, did the stu dents fare at all well, or cut any great figure in national politics. An incident illustrating the life of students under the rule of the Bomanoff bureaucratic rule was told by Mr. Day: “I was attending the University of Petrograd,” he said, “at the time of tho death of Count Tolstoi. Now according to the rule of the police not more than a dozen or fifteen students were allowed to gather together outside of the col lege bounds, because such gatherings might lead to the inception of revolution ary ideas. “The students had planned to com memorate the death of Count Tolstoi with a great student gathering, think ing that surely the government would allow them to honor the memory of so great a world figure. I remember that (Continned on page tour.)
