he is scheduled to address the
county chairmen of the southern
division of the campaign of Uni
versity alumni and former students
to raise $1,000,000 for development
and building improvement of their
alma mater. ^
This is the first of five sectional
meetings of county chairmen listed
for next week and marks the actual
beginning of the organization phase.
Donald R. Newbury, ’21, is divi
sion chairman. County chairmen of
Western Oregon will meet in Eu
gene Tuesday, when President
Campbell will explain the pressing
• needs of the University and the
need for private gifts and support
in the face of the crisis. Edward
F. tlailey, ’13, of Junction City, is
chairman of the division.
Central Division at Bend

Alumni Respond Quickly
All division chairmen report a
quick response from alumni who
were* called upon for service in the
campaign. Alumni and former stu

in touch with the needs of the Uni
versity than the average citizen
and they desire* to succeed in their
task of raising funds to construct
a new library, a new men’s gym
nasium and the memorial court. The
alumni campaign to raise $1,000,
000 is part of the $5,000,000 build

Universitv.
George,'W. Hug, ’07, superinten
dent of Salem schools and one of
the greatest athletes in Oregon his

UNDERCLASSMEN PLAN
TO ASSESS STUDENTS
Part of Money Will Go to
Campus Luncheon
The freshman class, in their meet
ing held yesterday, unanimously de
cided that jerseys he awarded all
successful frosh athletes.
To provide money for this added
expense and also to obtain funds for
other debts not yet paid, it was de
cided to assess each member of the
class a sum of one dollar, which
will be added to registration fees
of the spring term. It is thought
that the cost price of the jerseys
will amount to about $200, so that
half of the extra fee will be to
cover this expense and the re
mainder will be used for other debts.
The freshmen still owe money on
bills from the bonfire and Frosh
Glee, and there will be other ex
penses for the coming term. The
$644 allotted to the class each year
by the University has long since
been used, so that an extra fee is
necessary to clear up all outstanding
debts and provide a small working
fund.
Twenty-five cents of each dollar
assessment will be applied toward
the funds for the campus luncheon,
it was decided. In former years,
it has been the custom to charge
each University student on the cam
pus 50 cents for the luncheon and
depend on committees to collect the
money. This system was found in
efficient, since all students could
not be easily reached, an 1 a 25 cent
fee, if paid by every student is
considered sufficient to cover the
expense.
The sophomore class, at their
meeting held yesterday, also voted
to assess all members of the class
25 cents at the beginning of next
term for the Junior Week-end cam
pus luncheon. An additional 25
cents was voted to be assessed for
the class entertainment fund.
Velma Meredith, a prominent
sophomore in journalism, was ap
pointed class reporter for the re
mainder of the year at the meeting.
She will handle all class publicity
and will cover the activities of the
class for the Emerald.
A class picnic was proposed by
several members and a committee
will be appointed by President Ste
phenson to set a date next term and
to make arrangements for the
sophomore dance-picnic.
GRADUATE IS CANDIDATE
J. Carl Bowman Up for Bo-election
as School Superintendent
A clipping from the local paper
at Lakeview, Oregon, announced
the re-election of J. Carl Bowman,
graduate of the class of 1921, as
superintendent of schools in that
district. Mr. Bowman has not
stated whether or not he will ac
cept the election for a third term
In speaking of his work in this
capacity during the two terms of his
office, the paper says, “He has given
universal satisfaction since taking
charge of the local school, and it
is hoped that he can see his way
clear to accept the superintendency
for a third term.” Mr. Bowman
received his B.S. degree in educa
cation in 1921 and his M.A. degree'
in June, 1922.

REPORT STATES
COUNCIL'S STAND
Committee Tells Reasons
Organizations Withdrew
from Doughnut Contests
ALTERNATIVE IS GIVEN
Rivalry Between Houses Is
Declared Obstacle to
Mutual Good Feeling
Coincident with declaring its
stand on the intramural sports situ
ation Wednesday night, the inter
fraternity council provided for the
appointment of an inter-fraternity
athletic committee to draw up a
formal declaration of the action
taken by the council and devise a
way to cooperate with the school
of physical education in its athletic
program. The committee, feeling'
that a detailed explanation of the j
action of the council is necessary I
in the face of the comment which
the action has aroused, herewith is
sues a report of all which took
place at Wednesday’s meeting.
Raymond McKeown, as chairman j
of the athletic committee, together !
with Victor Risley and Randall
Jones as co-workers, conferred yes
terday on the situation. They de
cided that a detailed presentation
of the arguments voiced in the
council meeting favoring the with
drawal of fraternities from the
intramural program would clarify
any misapprehensions in the minds
of the student body and all parties
affected.
Council Is Firm
The council being firm in its de
j termination to declare a definite
position and abide by it, is arrang
ing through its subsidiary commit
tee, to provide for the enforcement
j of its decision before it goes into
effect in the spring term.
Following is the explanation of
'the council’s action as it was for
mulated by the athletic committee
after a two-hour session yesterday:;
j “Since the inter-fraternity coun
i cil took action March 5, regarding |
intra-mural athletics, a great deal
of interest has been shown jand
i comment made throdghout the entire
student body. In order that the
| students may better understand the
j situation, the inter-fraternity coun
| cil wishes to state (1) the exact
action taken, (2) the reasons why
such action was taken, and (3)
j what the inter-fraternity council
! proposes to substitute.
(1) The action taken was that
i the fraternities refused to partici
pate in the present intramural ath
letic arrangement, and it in no way
presumes to have power to abolish
the program so far as organizations
j other than fraternities are con
| cerned.
Discord Is Created
(2) Among the reasons why the
fraternities took this action are:
(a) The natural desire to win
was unnecessarily keen, for each
fraternity considered its victories
I indicative of its superiority over
its rivals, thereby creating dis
cord among the fraternities, and
not infrequently enmity among in
dividuals;
(b) and, in order to win, and
j to amass a creditable number of
points, the fraternities were com
pelled to force men to participate
in sports which they often dis
liked and for which they had
neither ability nor training; fur
thermore, men who both needed
and wanted their time either for
study or outside work were com
pelled to use it in preparation for
and participation iu intramural
• games;
(c) and, the fraternities also
found that it was often necessary
to restrain and occasionally pro
hibit potential varsity material
from entering varsity atilileitics
in order to represent the frater
nity;
(d) and, all this goes to place
the University second to the fra
ternity in the interest of frater
nity men, a situation fundamen
tally bad, and one which should
be immediately remedied.
Trophies Are Barred
(3) In order to remedy these evils,
the inter-fraternity council did not
refuse to further participate in the j
present program and stop with that;
but in recognition of the- desirabil- !
ity of some forms of athletic con
tests among themselves, inspired
solely from pleasurable motives, it

Model of Senior
Bench to Appear
On Campus Soon
Seat to be Re-Painted
to Alter Looks
The bench ot’ Frosh Glee feme
which was made as a replica of the
senior bench, will soon be placed
under the “nicotine tree,” for the
use 'of one and all.
The bench, however, will not re
tain its original shape, according
to Lowell Baker, freshman class
president. The corners are being
squared off, it is being painted a
different color, and the numerals
“1927” will replace those of
“1910.” Just what the new color
will be cannot be found out.
“This remodeling is being done,”
says Baker, “so that the bench
w-ill in no way resemble the senior
bench. There is to bo no idea of
a ‘take-off.’ We will be seniors
ourselves some day, and will cherish
the senior bench. Anyway, the tra
dition should be respected.”

Fall of Economic System
in European Countries
Encourages Socialism
OSCAR JASZI IS
EXILED
Peace Treaty Held Cause
of Revolt and Distress
Among Defeated Nations
The dramatic story of the Bol
shevist experiment in Hungary and
of the present status of central
European socialism was told yes
terday by Dr. Oscar Jaszi, former
Hungarian statesman, who, for the
past five years, has been practical
ly an exile from that country. Pro
fessor Jaszi gave two lectures to
students, faculty and townspeople,
one at 10 o ’dock in Villard hall
on the subject of “Red and White
Bolshevism in Hungary,” and the
other at 2 o ’clock in the commerce
building on “The Present Crisis of
European Marxian Socialism.”
“The basis of the experiment in
Hungary was the Marxian theory of
the collapse of the present economic
order, as expressed in the Commun
ist Manifesto. Its ideal was the
more and more complete cooperation
of the masses, an ideal which was
to lead from the capitalist order to
the new communist state,” ho said.
Bolshevism Means Anarchy
He continued, “The European col- I
lapse after the war created all the
conditions predicted by Mjhrx is
his memorable doctrine of the. im
pending social collapse. Bolshevism
has meant moral anarchy, but at the
same time it has meant a new ren
naisanee in the ranks of the Marx
ian followers.”
Professor Jaszi showed how the
downfall of the European economic
order gave rise to a semi-fanatical |
roligious movement, based for tho
most part on communist doctrines
and socialist principles. Tho peo
ple of the. central European coun- ,
tries began to look forward to the'
new Deity, which was to destroy
capitalism. It was this material
istic religion and the class hatred
coupled with the landless condition
of tho proletariat, that the Bolshe
vist movement became active in
Hungary.
It was not a democratic movement
in any sense of the word. The dic
tatorship of the proletariat meant
the dictatorship of a few hundred
or more persons who were, for the
most part, out of touch with the.
real working class.
Wilson’s Statement Accepted
Revolutionary Hungary accepted
President Wilson’s statement of
war aims very seriously and it was
largely on the basis of his state
ment that the. policy of Count
Karolyi’s government was based.
But the disappointment of the
peace treaty was very great when
that document was finally drawn
up and contributed to tho Bolshe
vist uprising, which finally dis
placed the. Karolyi government.
“Even before the peace treaty,”
said Professor Jaszi, “the terms of
the armistice were continually in
fringed. The economic recovery of
Hungary was made impossible by
the peace treaty and the disillusion
ment of the people after the war
was over and peace, finally estab
lished was largely responsible for
the revolt.”
Bolshevism Is Failure
The Bolshevist plan was a com
plete failure along lines of distri
bution as well as in the field of
production, according to the former
Hungarian official. Things were
sold cheap to the proletariat and at
a higher price to tho rich. The
ideal of the Bolshevist was tho
abolition of militarism, but he soon
found that in order to protect him
self from counter revolution and
from hostile nations abroad, it was
necessary to maintain a-large army.
The conditions surrounding the rise
of Bolshevism in Russia and in
Hungary are almost exactly the
same, according to Professor Jaszi.
THEODORE WAESTRUM TO

Oregon to Enter
Six Men in State
Water Contests
Oregon will enter a relay team
in the Oregon state swimming
championships, which will bo held
at Corvallis tonight. The men
that will swim are Palmer, Stone,
Horsfall and Lombard. Stone and
Lombard are freshmen, but are
strong in the water sport. This
quartet ranks with any that will
be entered in the meet, declared
Fahl, the swimming mentor.
Lombard has been going “big
guns” in the 220 dash and it will
take someone to break the state
record of 2:41 to beat him. Ac
cording to “Rudy” Fahl, Lom
bard has broken the mark unoffi
cially by going the distance in
2:40 4-5, in the local tank. Ad
ditional men making the trip
are Wiswall and Sinclair. The
men liavo been putting in hard
workouts under the watchful eye
of the coach, who predicts that
Oregon will make a good showing.
FEBRUARY NUMBER OF
‘OLD OREGON’ IS OUT
Alumni Magazine Contains
Much Campus News
The February “Old Oregon” is in
circulation for its readers. And in
spite of the fact that its editor,
! Grace Edgington, alumni secretary,
was forced on account of ill health
to take a vacation of tlireo weeks,
Bhe has managed to put out ono of
the best editions of the magazine.
The book is filled from cover to
Icover with Oregon spirit. There ap
pear articles on Haddock, the new
•football coach. Virgil Earl’s trip to
Hugo Bezdek’s headquarters, Oregon
sports, Oregon poetry, and campus
news. And there are most interesting
articles by alumni. J. A. Laurie,
’94, writes “When Old Oregon Was
(Young.” With the article is a pic
ture of the football team of ’94. j
0. E. Wagner, ’01, has written an
article on “Recollections of C. N.
McArthur, Father of Oregon- Ath-1
]r,tics.” Perhaps one of the most in-1
teresting features of the new issue
in a sketch of “The Oregon Campus
a Decade Ago,” by George Davis,
■ex-18. It is of interost to compare
the customs of “those days” to the
ones common to the campus of today. |
We find a groat similarity. Spen
cer’s, the island, Skinner’s, all had;
their share of attention in those re-;
mote days. Dean Colin Dyment is
featured in t.ho fifth article under
the titlo of “Under the Gargoyles.”
Catherine Spall, a junior on the
campus, is the author of an article
on E. R. Moon, ex-14, who visited
the campus not long ago. His life
in Africa “among the cannibals,” is
most thrilling to the “bored stu
i dent.”
; Alumni news, the" Family Mail
i Box, and miscellaneous articles com
plete the magazine. There are several
pictures—President Campbell, Dean
Dyment, Joseph Maddock, Women’s
'Order of the “O”, Martin Howard of
the medical school, the campus basket
ball squad, Oregon tumblers, Dr.
Frod Zeigler, .Tames Johns, Retail
Merchant’s association, Delta Zeta
[debate team, Ed Bailey, K. TC. Kubli,
jand Mrs. L. H. Johnson.
A medical school story is also
I featured among the articles,
i The cover of the magazine is a

ARTICLES ARE PRINTED
; Professor Lomax and "Bill” Allyn
Write for Trade Journal
Articles by two Oregon men ap
pear in the February number of
j “Better Fruit,” a pioneer horticul-1
tu^il journal of tlio Pacific North- 1
west. An outstanding article is
written by Alfred L. Lomax, pro
fessor in the school of business ad
ministration, entitled, “New Gar
den of the Hesperides.” The writ
ing, which appears on the front page
of the igagazine, is a part of a
series j of work Professor Lomax is
doing in connection with Oregon re- ,

MEN PRIMED FOB
RELAY (MIL
Inter-class Track Meet
Starts This Afternoon
at 2:30 o’Clock Sharp
GOOD MATERIAL IS OUT
Hayward Will be Assisted
by Coaches and Events
Will be Run Off Quickly
Today the inter-class relay carnival
'will get under way promptly at 2:30.
With picked men from every data
selected to compote in their favored
distances the races should be the beet
seen this year.
The freshman crow lacks the ex
perienced men which fill the ranks
of the upper class teams; but they
are a fighting group which has been
j training out with a determination to
I win. One “miler” being anxious to
jmake a place on the four mile relay
team, reported for the tryouts Thurs
day morning about an hour and half
parly, dressed in his track suit and
ready to go.
“What are you out here for at
this time in the morning t” asked
Bill, “don’t you know that you are
to race at 11 oVockl”
Good Spirit Shown
“Sure,” replied the youngster,
“but I wasn’t taking any chances of
being late.” This man had never
seen a track before this season, much
less ever run a race. He made his
place on the team and will get an
opportunity to get real action today.
“That’s tho kind of fight Glen
Walkley had,” mused Bill, in re
counting the story later.
Yesterday afternoon the frcsuman
880 relay candidates held their final
elimination. Extra, Flannigan, Bod
da, and Price will form the team.
The rest of the men took things easy
in order to store up energy for the
contests today.
Tho sophomores have a number of
good men in their squad, but lack
the material both the other teams
have, to pick from. They only have
10 men to perforin for their class
honors but these have been practic
ing; and both captains, Snyder and
Keating, declare that their teams will
be in the running until tho last
j event. A few good men have been
I known to win a meet. In fact it
is still within tho memory of some
of the old timers that time a big
.'bashful youth from Bedmond came
down and won an interscholastic
I track me*t single handed for his
I high school.
Seniors Have Veterans
Neither Captain Risley or Captain
McColl of the upper class combination
have much to say regarding the out
come of tbo affair. They realize
that the freshmen would like nothing
better than to hang a sombrero-cov
ered scalp at their belt; but are re
lying on their combination of veter
ans to withstand the onslaws of the
green-capped horde.
Coach Hayward will bo assisted by
some of the other coaches in staging
the meet nnd promises that it will
bo run off as speedily as have th®
others this season. Rill’s long ex
perience in handling track meets has
mado him one of the most efficient
managers of track carnivals availa
ble in the country. The five relays
on the program are: 440, four mile,
one mile, 880 and the two mile
Bill also requested that the spec
tators “please” stay in the grand
stand or bleachers during the meet,
and asked that they do not cross the
track, but go around in passing from
one part, of the field to the other.
This saves much confusion and there
is no reason why one person should
consider himself more favored than
his neighbor, concluded Mr. Hayward.
BOTANY MAJORS CONDUCT
WEEKLY INFORMAL TEAS
A weekly tea for botany majors
is given in the department every
Friday afternoon from 4:15 to 5:15.
The hour is spent in discussing sub
jects connected with the study of
botany and in reading books that
present new material in this line ia
an informal way. The students get
better acquainted with each other
and with tlioir professors and are
given a chance to bring up mat
ters in which they have special in
terest nnd for which there is no
time for discussion in class.
