    Appearance of Grounds Will Be
Kept Up; Committee
Handles Work
The University will have a part in
Better Home Block Week which begins
May 21, according to H. M. Fisher,
superintendent of grounds on the cam
pus, who gave an account yesterday of
the pioneer work which the University
has done in beautifying Eugene through
its program of gardening during the
last few years.
While the movement next week will
be the first of its kind in Eugene among
the general public and home owners, it
may be remembered that for a number
of years, ever since 1909, it has been
the function of a group of members
of the campus staff to keep the campus
beautiful. This idea has been trans
mitted through suceeding generations
of students until it has become a col
lege tradition to guard the campus
lawns and shrubs. An annual campus
clean-up has been the custom until this
year in order to remind the students
of their part in keeping the grounds
in good shape. A history of the campus
grounds reveals a number of novel
facts to the present generation of
classes .
In 1909 H. M. Fisher first came to
the University and assumed his duties
as superintendent of grounds. In an
interview yesterday, Mr. Fisher told of
the condition of the campus at that
time.
“The only grass on the campus was
two patches around one side of Villard
and Deady. A tennis court filled the
space between the Library, and the rest
of the original quadrangle was a bed
of weeds,” ijie said. At this time the
weeds were mowed with a horse-mower.
He immediately started to aet out
shrubs and plants, which were the nu
cleus of the present profuse growth
around all of the buildings, and the
lawn was enlarged, seeded, watered
and carefully cared for. This was 15
years ago and the transformation since
that time is one which startles old tim
ers who return now to see the campus,
Mr. Fisher remarked.
“We have always had to fight weeds
to keep this lawn clean,” he explained,
“but it has gradually become fairly
easy to keep it in shape. Of course we
have the advantage of an unlimited
amount of water without paying for
it, which aids in keeping up the lawns.
The only cost of watering the campus
is that of the hose and a man to do
the work, as all of the water is pumped
from the mill race.”
Professor E. E. DeCou, Mr. Fisher
and John MacGregor, president of the
A. S. U. O., are members of a Univer
sity committee to assist in the Eugene
Betted Home Block Week. In their
work in this connection they have been
instrumental in getting each owner of
property on Kincaid street between
13th and 15th streets to contribute
towards the setting out of a row of
elms which has been completed and
these young trees now extend from the
mill race to115th on Kincaid. The com
mittee has also made suggestions to
various fraternities as to improvements
on the grounds around their houses
and a marked change may be seen in
the prospective lawn of Sigma Chi and
Alpha Tau Omega, and the tennis court
on the Sigma Alpha Epsilon property.
It is the hope of the committee that
other groups will fall into the spirit
of the occasion next week and take an
active part in the work of Better Home
Blocks.

on the dance preparations is really very
serious and every junior who can spare
an hour must give it in order to make
the affair possible.
A large number of juniors have been
drafted for work today. As many as
possible must report at 8:30 this morn
ing and every one must be there by
10:00, says Randall Jones, chairman of
the decorations committee.

At noon the annual campus luncheon
will be held in the grove of trees by
the tenuis courts, near Deady hall. Hen
ryetta Lawrence is in charge. In the
afternoon at 2:00 the main athletic
event of the week-end will be held.
Oregon and O. A. C., ancient rivals, are
scheduled to clash on Hayward field in
track and field events. At 4:15 the
correct clothes show by the girls of
Eugene high school, directed by Miss
Morgan, will be given at the Woman’s
building. This exhibit is prepared by
the girls themselves and is the same one
which will be presented at the Heilig
theatre next Monday night.
In the evening the most colorful part
of the festivities will be held on the
mill race when the canoe fete will be
run off. Ed Haney, who has charge,
reports that practically every float
is nearly completed and that they must
all be in the water early enough so that
the fete will not be delayed. Late even
ing events include fraternity smokers
and parties.
Saturday morning will see a num
ber of sorority dances. Houses giving
matinee dances are asked to stop them
at 10:30 in order that their guests may
see the water carnival, one of the best
numbers on the entire program, the Ore
gon-O. A. C. tennis meet, and the pre
liminaries of the high school track meet.
It is absolutely necessary that every
one of these things be given whole
heaTted support according to those in
charge, and any organization selfishly
holding its party overtime is liable to
severe criticism. >
Saturday afternoon events include
the last of the O. A. C-Oregon ball
games and the finals in the high scliool
frosh track meet. In the evening the
prom will be held.
An absolute ban has been placed on
flowers and taxis for the prom, for al
though it is a formal dance, the commit
tee in charge will insist that the Old
Oregon tradition in this regard be
maintained.
The R. O. T. C. band is to take an
important part in the program. They
will give the following program at
noon today at the campus luncheon:
March—Dunlap Commandery .
.H. D. Hall
Through the Night Waltz .
... Frederick K. Logan
The Zouaves March . Will Huff
“Inspiration” Overture . A1 Hayes
The Hippodrome March . Will Huff
Arbitration Overture.... Geo. D. Bernard
After Every Party.Arthur Freed
Mighty Oregon . Albert Perfect
The band plays this concert from 12
noon until 1:30 and many of these
numbers will probably be used at the
various athletic contests. Winston Cald
well is director. He formerly attended
the College of Idaho at Caldwell. The
band is made up of 35 musicians, and
because of careful training, is rated as
one of the best bands that the Univer
sity has had in years.

THE SHOE DOCTOR
It’s the sole of the people we keep in view, for I am a doctor of the boot
and the shoe. I serve the living, not the dead—use the best leather, wax and
thread. I will stitch on a sole or pail it fast—do a good job, and guarantee
it to last. I will give you a gift along in life—not only you, but your
family and wife. So many patients come to my door, all run down and
feeling so sore. I don’t use poultices, plasters or pills, but I can cure
you of all your shoe ills.

SENIORS WILL RECEIVE
R. 0. T. C. COMMISSIONS
Eight Men to be Made Second Lieuten
ants upon Graduation; None are
Majors in Military Department
Eight seniors upon graduation will
receive commissions as second lieuten
ants in the reserve corps, without ex
amination. None are majors in the de
partment »of military science, but all
have taken advanced work in the de
partment.
Those who will be made officers are:
R. L. Andrews, A. A. Burnett, Kenneth
J. Youel, V. E. Bullock, M. R. Eby,
H. O. Bonebrake and A. M. Wilhelm.
Don Zimmerman also completed his
military work but will not get his com
mission until he graduates. The rules
governing granting of officerships to
R. O. T. C. men require that the candi
date must have a university degree.
The absence of majors in the depart
ment is explained at the barracks by
the fact that the government does not
guarantee a future for graduates. West
Point, the reserves, the national guard
and the rauks of the regular army fur
nish at present all the officers that are
needed. The only way that a student
can break in is to be commissioned in
the reserve corps, after which he is eli
gible to be examined for an army com
mission. But the student that takes a
regular college course along with the
advanced military work, is also given
a berth in the reserve section, and can
work for the army if he wishes. Thus
there is>,an object in majoring in the
department.

The seniors ’ section contains a new
feature—the use of a tint block on which
the names and activities appear, with
pictures above and below. The junior
write-ups are the usual informal bits
of characterization. Junior and senior
lionoray societies appear in the junior
and senior sections, instead of with ac
tivities, as last year. Pages of snap
shots appear here and there after each
substantial section like salted nuts served
between courses, instead of saved until

The use of photographs instead of
drawings introducing each section is new,
too, and exceptionally attractive, and the
art work adds a touch of personality
here and there. The book ends with
“The Colleger”—a sort of glorified
Lemon Punch. Then, too, the index must
not be forgotten—the practical feature
that has never before been a part of
the Oregana.

The debate last night marks the close

The Los Angeles critics said last week:
TIMES—
“As full of adventure, romance and intrigue as a powder house is full
of nitro. It is the best vintage I have seen in a long time.’’
EXAMINER—
“The Purple Mask” is gripping—splendid intensity of emotion. Ditrich
stein delightful in a play full of brilliancy. He is at his best. At the end
of every one of the five acts a vertible ovation was given the actor.”
HERALD—
“No finer actor on the stage than Ditrichstein today. He is beyond
reproach. Every ingredient of drama; hits our approval right between the
eyes. The cast is delightful and satisfactory.”—GUY PRICE, Dramatic
Editor.
RECORD—
“The Purple Mask,” a refreshing play. Ditrichstein has lost none of his
dash, color or personality. Salvos of applause followed each of the five
acts and at one time almost stopped the play|”
EXPRESS—
“Mr. Leo Ditrichstein is, as usual, delicate in touch, suave in manner
and sparing of obvious theatrical arts. The play has charm and punch.
It is a good robust entertainment.”
PRICES—Floor $2.50; Bal
cony $2.00, $1.50, $1.00, 75c
(plus tax).
