GIFT CAMPAIGN PLANS PROGRESS President Campbell Goes to Medford Tomorrow to Address Chairmen FIVE SECTIONS TO MEET Next Week Will See Start of Actual Organization Phase of Huge Project President P. L. Campbell will leave tomorrow for Medford, where 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 The central Oregon division will meet at The Dalles, Wednesday, under the chairmanship of Charles W. Erskins, ex-’10, of Bend. The eastern Oregon gathering is tenta tively scheduled for Thursday night in La Grande. Fred Sterner, ’06, of Pendleton, is chairman. Alumni leaders of Northwestern states other than Oregon will organize and hear President Campbell’s message in Spokane next Saturday. William McClure, prominent Seattle attor ney, is chairman of the northwestern division. His territory includes the states of Washington, Idaho, Mon tana and Wyoming. The Tuesday following the Spo kane meeting, Earl Kilpatrick, ’09, will summon his county_ chairmen for a meeting of the northern divi sion in Portland. 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 dents, it is said, are more closely 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 ing and development effort of the Universitv. George,'W. Hug, ’07, superinten dent of Salem schools and one of the greatest athletes in Oregon his tory, has accepted appointment as chairman of Marion county. His prowess on the gridiron merited him a place, on the all-Northwest inter collegiate eleven. Mr. Hug was cap tain of the track team two years, played basketball and held the of fice of student body president. Leaders Are Prominent Carlton N. Savage, ’21, secretary to the president of the State Normal sphool, Monmouth, was also a stu dent body president while an under graduate. He is chairman of Polk county. Mr. Savage was an inter collegiate debater at Oregon and member of Priors society. The Clackamas county chairman is Phillip Hammond, ’13, lawyer of Oregon City and member of the 1921 legislature from his county. He, saw two years of war service and was discharged with a lieutenancy. Wilford C. Allen, ’22, editor of the Courier, Grants Pass, was night editor of the Emerald, University daily, while in college.

After ob taining his bachelor’s degre*e, Mr. Bowman took graduate work at (Continued on page three) | Foreign Musician j Plays Next Term Jean Gerardy 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. HAROLD SOX RECOVERS FROM ATTACK OF GRIPPE Harold Sox, member of the var sity debate team and of Beta Theta Phi fraternity, who has been in the infirmary with the grippe, was dismissed yesterday. 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 (Continued on page three) 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.” BEHNICEYEOPIflNIST, WILL APPEAR TUESDAY Roy Bryson, Soloist, Will Assist at Recital Bernice Yeo, pianist, and student in the school of music, will give her junior recital next Tuesday evening, 'March 11, in the Woman’s Memorial hall at 8 o’clock. She will be as sisted by Roy Bryson, tenor. Miss Yeo is one of the best known musicians on the campus and is ac companist for the women’s glee club. She is a prominent member of Mu Phi Epsilon and recently appeared in their annual assembly. “An unusual technique perfected to a high degree of efficiency char acterizes Miss Yeo’s playing,” said John Stark Evans, of whom she has (been a pupil since her entrance into the University. “She also has an ex tensive repertoire.” * She is much in demand as a solo ist and accompanist and will be a special soloist at the yomen’s glee club concert in April. She now holds the Mu Phi Epsilon scholarship in piano. Roy Bryson, who will assist her, is also a junior, and is one of the -best known vocalists on the campus. He is president of the men’s glee club, of which he has been soloist for the past two years. | Following is the program to be pre | sented: I Prelude and Fugue D major ... Baeh Romance F sharp .

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 DEPART FOR SAN DIEGO Theodore Walstrum, of the school of music faculty, left today for Han Diego on a business trip, which ; will necessitate his absence from the University until March 24. His ' classes will not meet next week. 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 picture of the new Co-op building. 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- , sources. A series of radio lectures are also being given in addition. William P. Allyn, ’21, now living in Hood River, is the writer of the j other article in the issue. “Hood 1 River Noted for Scenery as Well as Apples,” is the topic discussed. Mr. j Allyn is secretary of the chamber j of commerce. 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.
