HIM FRIEND
(IVES PIPE ORGAN
TO MUSIC SCROOE
Instrument Worth $25,000 Will
Enable Students to Hear
Many Concerts
GREAT NEED IS FULFILLED
Incomplete Auditorium Keeps
Donation from Being
Installed Now
A pipe organ valued at $25,000, will
be given to the University as soon as
the auditorium in the Music building,
where the organ is to be installed, is
finished. The donor is a resident of
Oregon and a friend of the University,
but refuses to allow his name to be
come known.
The announcement of the gitt was
made yesterday by college officials,
who emphasized the fact that, besides
the general value of the gift to all
Oregon students, the instrument will be
an immense asset to the school of music.
When the auditorium is finished and
the organ installed, important school
activities, such as vesper services, re
citals, and concerts, which have hereto
fore been held in downtown buildings,
will be shifted to the campus, at a
great advantage to the students.
Organ is Complete
The organ will be one of the most
complete and modern available, and
will be fitted with electric appliances,
a set of chimes, and an echo attach
ment. It will fill a great need, and will
be the one thing necessary to make the
campus a musical center, to bring all
the students together for the apprecia
tion of the best music.
The difficulty that stands in the way
of the immediate materialization of the
gift is the incomplete condition of the
auditorium in the Music building. The
structure was erected by a company
formed by Oregon’s friends, who felt
the need of an adequate home for the
school of music; but lack of funds
forced them to stop construction work,
w-hen the classrooms and studios were
finished. Thus the planned auditorium
was not completed.
Lack of Funds Cause Delay
The only sources of funds to allow
the work to go on are the University
treasury and private subscriptions. The
University at the present is having a
hard fight to keep within available re
sources without doing any building, so
the only way that money can be ob
tained, it seems, is by contribution from
friends.
The organ, when it is put in, will be
in the back of the stage, with the con
sole of the instrument in the orchestra
pit. The pipes, artistically placed, will
make a dignified background for en
tertainments. The stags' will be large
enough to accomodate an orchestra.
MATHEMATICS GROUP REPORTS
The mathematics department of the
University high school has just received
a complete report of the findings of
the national committee on mathematics
requirements. The report consists of
a volume of over 700 pages, and is the
most complete study ever made of any
subject in the secondary school curri
culum.

Of Week-End Activities
Thousands Assemble Under Campus Conifers for
Luncheon; Freshmen Have Leading Role in
Entertainment of Morning
Under a sky mantled with clouds—
clouds which threatened rain during the
entire day, but were apparently de
hydrated) until late in the evening
—thousands of students, visitors and
high school representatives from practi
cally «very county in the state gath
ered on the campus for the first-day en
tertainment of the University annual
Junior Week-end program which start
ed with the painting of the large ce
ment “O” on Skinners Butte by the
freshmen yesterday morning.
Perhaps the most colorful event of
the day was the campus lunch, held on
the lawn under the firs west of Vil
lard hall. This luncheon, which was
directed by Henryetta Lawrence and
prepared under the supervision of Mrs.
Edna P. Datson, head of the halls of
residence, was attended by approxi
mately 2000 persons. Frivolity and
seriousness characterized the luncheon
—senior cops, wearing massive som
breroes and stars, diligently spotting
piggers and wearers of neckties, and
the solemn march of the Friars and
Mortar Board. The senior cops, making
their last stand “for the honor of Ore
gon traditions,” marched to the scene
of the luncheon from the ball grounds
in the wake of the R. O. T. C. band,
which played while the luncheon was
being served, and paraded in military
formation before the lens of a movie
camera. After being served, students
and visitors scattered themselves in
small groups over the spacious lawn—
some reclining on the little mounds of
new-mown grass, others resting against
trees, buildings, and the old normal
school memorial near Villard.
Frosh Bum Caps
Another colorful event of the morn
ing program was the burning of the
green—the incineration of the fresh
men’s abbreviated headgear. The sen
ior cops again stepped into the lime
light during the part of the morning’s
fun and made a trail through the mass
of humanity—a trail that was swiftly
traversed by the frosh as they threw
caps in the barrel of flames, then duck
ed through the gauntlet of paddles.
(Continued on page three.)
READY TREES SCENE
2000 Line Up and Are Served
in Orderly Style
After all, it is generally conceded that
the most satisfying part of the Junior
Week-end festivities is the campus lun
cheon. And never was a luncheon served
more efficiently and better than the one
yesterday. Rain did not prevent the af
fair from being held on the campus lawn
and under the trees west of Deady hall.
Fully 2000 persons, the number plan
ned for by the committee, were served
campus style with buns, fruit salad, scal
loped potatoes, ham, coffee and the tra
ditional ice-cream cones, without a hitch
and in a very short time. It was not a
case of “first here first served,” for the
long lines of University students, prep
pers, and other guests waited their turn
in an orderly fashion.
When each person secured a plate the
next duty was to find a place to sit down
and eat in peace. Some occupied the
steps of Deady, but the greater number
spread out over the open stretch be
yond the trees, some taking advantage of
the shocks of new mown grass to use as
seats.
The senior cops, the “big. bosses” of
the day officiated in fine style, and as
a result of their diligence several neck
tie wearers and piggers explored the cold
depths of the senior fountain. The R.
O. T. C. band furnished the music for
the event.
During the luncheon time, Mortar
Board, Friars and Sigma Delta Pi
marched through the crowds pledging
new members.
The committee in charge of the lun
cheon was headed by Henryetta Law
rence, assisted by Emmy Lou Douglas,
Mary Ann Henson, Gwladys Keeney,
Gladys Anderson, Charles Dawson, Fran
cis Altstoek, Alfred Shields, Tom Chat
bum and Virginia Pearson. Mrs. Edna
P. Datson, head of the halls of resi
dence, supervised the prepartion of the
luncheon, while girls from the various
organizations on the campus assisted in
serving.
SIGMA DELTA PI ELECTS
Sigma Delta Pi, honorary Spanish
fraternity, yesterday elected: Henrietta
Hanson, Bertha Atkinson and Annette
Dobbin.
Tug o’ War Our Squarest Mix;
Freshmen Swim in Chilly Styx
Like a gang -of frogs, splash
ing joyously in /a. limpid pool,
the Knights of ’26 took to the icicle
waters of the mill race. Clawing the
air, spitting water, gasping, climbing
over one another they surged through
the swirling liquid and scrambled up
the other bank, ready for the last part
of the ritual.
The tug-of-war was the squarest ever
—the senior cops saw to that—in fact
every year the pull gets squarer and
squarer. At 9:50 the burliest men of
the two classes, ’25 and ’26 lined up
across the race from each other, and
anxiously fondled the rope which sug
gested victory or defeat for one or the
other.
They braced, gripped the rope and
waited for the dropping of the starter’s
hat. It fell and the tug was on, but
only for a breathing space did it last.
It was less than a minute before the
men of ’25 lunged against the rope and
the first frosh man caught his breath
and breasted the tide, followed by the
rest of the pulling team.
That was the signal' and without
waiting to find out the temperature of
the campus Styx, the green cappers
plunged into the tranquil stream and
steamed for the other side. Some found
the going rough and were forced to
crawl on the bottom with only a limited
amount of air. Others found that some
one was chartering them for ferryboats
and still others found their chins and
stomachs coming in contact with the
booted heel of some other pilgrim to the
other side.
Anyway it was square and the frosh
took to the water with a will, not wait
ing for the usual “Well,” which is the
usual urge.
TWELVE GIRLS FOUND
BELTA OMEGA SORORITY
President Campbell Welcomes
New Campus Group
A new sorority to be known as Delta
Omega has been formed on the campus.
Membership includes twelve girls, the
majority of whom are now residing at
Susan Campbell hall. Honorary mem
bers are Miss Maud Kerns of the art
department, Mrs. F. G. Yiung, and
Mrs. J. O. Holt.
In speaking of the organization Dean
Straub said, “I am personally acquaint
ed with all the members, of Delta Ome
ga, whieli is composed of some of the
best young ladies in the University.
They are enthusiastic and energetic
girls who will make their influence felt
on the campus. I am glad to welcome
the new club and t» be of service to
them in any way.”
Negotiations are under way to secure
property but final arrangements have
not been completed. Since the Univer
sity does not have the means to build
new halls or residences it is hoped to
have five or six organizations formed
every year, according to President P.
L. Campbell, who further states that
such organizations have the advantage
that they approximate the family group
into which society has formed natural
ly. Furthermore in encouraging the
development of a larger number of
fraternities and sororities on the cam
pus the divisional groups become more
a matter of course with less signifi
cance attached, thus removing any ten
dency to place undue emphasis upon
them.
“This particular organization is un
der the best of auspices,” stated Pres
ident Campbell. “The members of the
group have good records and they -will
be helpful in promoting the general
welfare of the University”
The officers and members of Delta
Omega are as follows: Helen Burfield,
president, Portland; Hazel Borders,
vice-president, Portland; Dorothy E.
Dixon, secretary, Portland; Stella Van
Vleet, treasurer, Portland; Harriett E.
Rice, house manager, Los Angeles;
Frances Simpson, historian, Portland;
Merle Oliver, reporter, Hollywood;
Katherine Ashinead, Fullerton, CaL;
Gladys Du Bois, Portland; Helen Win
ter, Portland; Dorothy Eakin, St. Hel
ens; and Myrl Allman, Emmett, Idaho.
LOANS OFFERED SENIORS
Seniors desiring a small loan to car
ry them through the remainder of the
quarter, are advised to apply to Dean
Straub, who has charge of the student
loan fund, according to information
given out by him yesterday. He said
that there was a sum of $500 now avail
able and that all other loans would be
help up a week in order to give the
seniors a chance to make application,
although he urges any senior wishing
to take advantage of this opportunity
to do so immediately.

SUNDAY, MAY 20.
Open housr at all living organiza
tions.
Numerous errors on the part of Coach
Bohlcr’s rejuvenated infield, timely
hitting by the Aggie sluggers and the
effectiveness of Pitcher Woodward of
the Ags gave O. A. C. the first game
of the series on the home lot. The
final score was 11 to 5.
Oregon led off in the first inning
with three runs and for a couple of
innings, it looked like a sure varsity
victory but in the third the Aggie
wrecking crew got to work and Oregon
started booting the ball. This netted
the visitors three runs and that, with
the run that they chased across in the
second, gave them the lead and they
were never headed. ,
Red Ridings, the short patcher for the
visitors, who came here with a reputa
tion of being a hard hitter, had a great
day with the stick and succeeded in
living up to his reputation very nicely.
The big fellow collected a pair of
homers in his five trips to the plate.
Extra base hits seemed to be in order
in yesterday’s melee for Ross, Latham
and Sorsby poled three baggers, and
Collins and Parkinson each hit for two
bases.
Infield Shifted
Coach Bohler presented a shifted in
field to the fans yesterday and although
it looked good at times, the general
effect upoA the working of the in
fielders 'was rather demoralizing. Even
Jimmy Ross managed to get a couple
of errors chalked up to his credit. One
thing that pleased a good many of those
same fans.was the fact that Zimmerman
seems to have regained a semblance of
his old batting eye. Zim gathered two
safe blows out of his four timos at bat.
After a long period of absence, Col
onel John Leader was back at his old
post on the players bench, rooting like
a good fellow, his baseball slang trans
lated into his broad English diction.

HI DELIS, KAPPA
DELTS WIN TROPHY
Mandarin Float is Awarded
Prize by Judges; Many
Attend Canoe Fete
By Lester Tumbaugh
Drifting silently djown the multi
colored waters of the mill race, “A
Mandarin,” a huge Chinese incense
burner, scattered its red light and
sweet-smelling incense on the large
group of spectators and won the cup for
Delta Delta Delta and Kappa Delta Phi.
Perfectly fitting into the sides of the
vaftf and seemingly a part of the beau
tifully painted surfaces, were three
girls of the Tri Delts. The float was
eighth in the fete.
“Alababa’s Dream,” by Alpha Om
icron Pi and Delta Tau Delta, and “A
Captive of the Moors,” by Gamma Phi
Beta and Kappa Sigma, wore given hon
orable mention. “Alababa’s Dream”
fourth in the procession, showed Ala
baba lying at ease while a slave drum
med monotonously before an incense
burner and a slave girl stood close
by. “A Captive of the Moors” por
trayed on a large sail boat with green,
bide and red lights, the scene of the
daughter of a Spanish prince with her
two warrior captors.
The barge carrying Gladys Gallier,
queen of the fete, led the procession
with soft strains of music. On the
back of the royal chair above the
queen’s head was the number “1924”
in large figures. Two small children
and two attendants were in waiting
before the queen.
Water Lilies Depicted
The first float, “The Spirits of the
Water Lilies,” prepared by Alpha Chi
Omega and Friendly hall, consisted of
two large water lilies with a girl dres
sed in yellow in the center of each.
Slightly to the rear of these was anoth
er lily not yet open. This was followed
by a Holland scene, “Tulip Land,” by
Alpha Delta Pi and S. A. E. In the fore
ground were rows of huge tulips of
various colors, and back of these were
three Dutch children picking them.
A dike and a windmill, with sails mov
ing in the wind, formed the back
grouuu.
A small Chinese footbridge overshad
owed with trees led to a canopy under
neath which a Chinese girl represented
the principal attraction in “The Lure
of the East,” the float prepared by
the Girl’s Oregon Club and Sigma Pi
Tau. “Cleopatra’s Barge,” by Alpha
Phi and Beta Theta Pi. showed the
beautiful Cleopatra under a canopy of
white, black and gold cloth. On his
knees before her with his head,bowed
to the ground, was a large semi-nude
slave, while at her side stood a female
attendant.
Persian Scene Is Pleasing
“The Rose of Naishapur” was sixth
in the procession. The scene, taken
from the Rubyiat was a Persian garden
in which a fountain, a beautiful mai
den clad in white anl wearing a pink
rose, and a native by her side. Alpha
Xi Delta and Phi Gamma Delta pre
pared the float. In “A Realm of Con
quest,” by Chi Omega and Delta Theta
Phi, milady is seen in her dressing
room looking at her latest conquest,
a living “picture” of her admirer. A
human powder puff and two uniformed
rowers representing two perfume bot
tles completed the scene.

SURPRISESSPRUNG
Ilf DUAL EVENTS
BT OREGON MEN
Spearow Betters Coast Mark
With Pole; Visitors Are
Victors 72 to 59
Weakness in the middle distances
and inability to put a relay team in the
meet enabled the Aggies to take the
annual dual meet from the varsity yes
terday on the Hayward oval 72-59.
Had Butler's stellar distance men turn
od the tide in what was one of the pret
tiest, and closely contested meets ever
seen on the campus.
Scheduled to be the under dog in the
major portion of the events, the var
sity tracksters, surprised the Junior
Weekend crowd by winning ^places
where they had not been conceded a
chance. This coupled with the stellar
performances of Ralph Spearow in the
pole vault, Dodge in .the half and
Walker in the mile kept the gathering
on edge throughout the meet.
The varsity led up to the two mile
race, but here “Puss” Graves and Art
Walker showed their heels to Koepp
and from that time on the visitors
were never headed. The Aggies with
their galaxy of crack distance men
swept the field in these events.
Clean Sweep in 220
The first surprise came when the
varsity speedsters, Larson, Oberteuf
fer and Lucas took all three places in
the 220. The varsity supporters re
ceived a thrill when Jack Hunt and
Floyd Bowles, both running their first
hurdle race, took second and third
places when they were not conceded a
chance. Vie Risley breasted the tape
ahead of his opponents in the
440. Hunt repeated his performance in
the high hurdles by taking second place
in tlio low hurdles while Larson took
third. Another surprise was the show
ing of Kamna in the discus, the big
fellow taking first place with a heave
of 119 feet and six inches. These un
expected performances was what kept
Oregon in the running throughout and
furnished the stands with plenty of
thrills.
Spearow Tries for Becord
Ralph Spearow attempted to break
the world’s record of 6 feet, 5 1-2
inches in the pole vault, after ho had
broken the coast record with a vault of
13 feet and one-half inch. He made four
unsuccessful attempts at the mark
missing one by an eyelash. Spearow
was Oregon’s high man with 12 points,
taking first in the vault, second in the
broad jump and tied for first in the
high jump.
Bennett, the Aggies’ star field man,
was high point man of the day with
14 points. He captured first in the shot
put, tied for first in the high jump,
took second in the discus throw and
second in tho pole vault.
Dodge Makes New Becord
One other dual record was broken in
the meet when Ray Dodge, Aggie half
miler lowered his own time for this
event by circling the two laps in 1:57.6
seconds.
The day was ideal for the meet and
Hayward track was in excellent con
dition.
