VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SUNDAY, APRIL 6, 1924 NUMBER 127 Living Halls i Ideal Units Completed Dormitory Will be Separated From Main Campus Capacity to Be 500 Style of Architecture to Follow Georgian Note of Eton College By Ed Miller When the funds now being sought ( bv the $5,000,000 gift campaign have been expended, the women of the University will have fared ex ceedingly well. A glance at the architect’s model of the Greater University reveals a • splendid women’s quadrangle, em bracing Hendricks and Susan Camp bell halls, the whole situated be . tween the Administration building ^ and the Woman’s building. This quadrangle, a type of build ing construction familiar to British students, and to eastern American universities, in conjunction with the Woman’s building, will form an ideal group. Group Is Explained Every form of recreation will be provided by adjacent athletic fields and the Woman’s building, which is not surpassed by any structure of its kind in the United States. A Household Arts building to be situated where the gift campaign quarters now stands, is provided as a major portion of the northern side of the group. This building will be connected with the quad rangle on the east by a wing of one of the dormitories, and on the west by an arcade which will lead from the Household Arts building to a dormitory formed by an exten sion of Susan Campbell hall. All phases of household arts and man agement, now confined to the small Extension building, near the school "V of architecture, will be housed in this structure. Halls Form Units The dormitories proper, forming the major portion of the quad rangle, will be divided into four units. Susan Campbell hall and Hendricks hall will form two of the units. The extension of Susan Campbell will be separated from the present building by a refectory, or women’s dining hall, a name which was originally applied to the eating hall of monasteries and nun neries. At the present time, the women of Susan Campbell and Hendricks are eating in the refectory adjoin ing Hendricks hall. This refectory is complete save for a front en trance. In time it will serve the two eastern units, and the refec tory directly across the quadrangle will take care of the two western units. Plan Is for 500 It is estimated that the quad rangle when completed, will house approximately five hundred girls. They will be separated from the re mainder of the campus by the na ture of the quadrangle; yet direct communication will be established between all the units, since the ■f quadrangle in effect will be one continuous building, save for the space separating the two present halls. A statue of the “Oregon Mother,” by Avard Fairbanks, is • to be placed in the nichei prepared for it. The architecture of the proposed quadrangle will carry out the style established by the. existing halls, which is of the Georgian note, characteristic of some old English colleges and boarding schools. Eton college is perhaps the beet known of this group. COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE IS ABOLISHED University of Montana—(By P.! I. N. S.)—Compulsory class attend ance for juniors and seniors was i abolished and steps to raise the eli gibility requirements for students taking part in extra-curricular acti vities were taken by the faculty re cently. Juniors and seniors who are not on any form of probation will be exempted from the absence pen alty and from the necessity of pre senting excuses for absence to the absence committee after September 1, 1924. PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENT Sigma Nu announces the pledg ing of Lawrence Giovando, of Lady smith, B. C. Refectory of Quadrangle, Women’s Group Play of Circus Next at Guild He Who Gets Slapped’ a Tragic Drama By Josephine Mice “A satire on the vanity of super human wishes.” “An enigmatical allegory.” “A dramatization of chaos.” Thus reads some of the ep itaths of Andreyev’s “He Who Gets Slapped,” which will be presented April 24, 25, and 26 at Guild hall. And in truth, this is a drama of a Russian, and a bitterly cynical JEtus sian at that; and it holds a symbol ism truly European. “He Who Gets Slapped” is staged among the conflicts and clashes, the passions, joys, and sorrows of the cheap, make-believe world of a pro vincial circus. It is a world set apart from the real world; yet ev ery night burlesquing for the sake ef the amusement of those from that “higher” world. It is a hectic swirl of strange tawdry people, yet it is most picturesque and its passions and joys and sorrows are after all, funda mentally human. Into this little make-believe world comes one from the great world outside—one who is cultured, educat ed, a man of intellectual achievement and understanding—“He Who Gets Slapped.” With his reason for com ing an inexplicable mystery, he be comes a clown; receiving fifty or a lundred slaps a day for the laughter and mockery of those from his own society. Darrell Larsen will play ‘He.” Mr. Larsen here has a diffi cult part to handle. He has proven himself a competent actor with more and more finish; and there is no loubt that as the central figure in ihis play he will acquit himself well. The darling of the circus, the one sweet cheerful person of the whole assemblage of jaded merrymakers is Consuelo, the equestrienne tango pieen. Consuelo is very young and rery simple; she is not educated, nor even very intelligent, but she is de servedly the angel of the place. We lona Dyer is cast for Consuelo. Miss Dyer is a prominent actor on the campus, and has the ability to inter pret such a juvenile part well. One of the strangest and most in :ense figures of the whole circus is Sinida, the lion tamer and wife of he manager of the circus. Zinida s passionate; a sort of sinister wo nan with a queer love for a fiery red ion, in love also with Bezano, the landsome bareback rider. Kate Pin leo plays Zinida. This is a depart ire from the ordinary sort of a role :hat Miss Pinneo plays, and it will call forth a more serious effort on ler part. Her interpretation of Zin da will thus be interesting, not only jecause of the interest of Zinida as i character. Dave Swanson also will assay a new (Continued on page four) KappasWin Cup for Frolic Skit Three Other Houses Tie in Second Kappa Kappa Gamma took first place among the houses presenting skits at the April Frolic last night with “Holiday Court.” Thei scene was staged in the land of Kings, where “holidays all, from Spring to Fall, come here to play.” A knight and a lady, framed in lace paper valentines, were followed by an Irishman and a colleen, who sang of St. Patrick’s Day. The original April’s Fool amused the crowd by songs and dancing pre ceded five girls in old-fashioned costumes, representing May-day. Four firecrackers then took advan tage of Fourth of July, and pilgrims sang of the blessing of a day of thanks, followed by two Christmas trees, who were the last to present themselves. Kappa Alpha Theta, with “The Cheese Dretam”; Delta Zeta, with “When the Clock Strikes Twelve,” and Alpha Phi, with “A Night’s Revelry,” tied for second place. The first prize of $5.00 for the most original costume on the floor was won by Kathleen McReynolds, who formed the central flower of a bouquet placed in a large loving cup, on which was engraved, “U. of O., ’27.” The second prize went to Gerda Brown, who impersonated a comet, with a golden helmet as a headdress. Other acts included “Peppy Pat ters,” Thacher Cottage; “Charac ters in Bamboo Land,” Alpha Xi Delta; “Mother Goose at April (Continued on page four.) Grid Practice ResultsGiven Fourth Week of Spring Football Ends With ‘Yost’ Styles Instilled Spellman Great Aid Much Time Is Devoted to Punting, Passing and Light Formation By Wilbur Wester With ample material in a stage! of development, Coach Maddock will make the building of a team the main factor in football practice next fall. Friday ended the fourth week of intensive spring training on the fundamentals of football, such as instruction on blocking, punting, passing and light offensive formation work. Each afternoon, the linemen, under the direction of Bart Spell man, and the backfield under the supervision of Coach Maddock, spent a good deal of time in de veloping speed and accuracy in dif ferent methods of executing the es- j sentials of the game. Coach Maddock has been aided very much in his teaching of foot ball fundamentals in having a line coach who’s method of play, cor responding so well with his own. | Spellman lias taken much of the burden off the shoulders of Joe Maddock, having taken over the linemen in such a fashion that they will die in a fair form for real prac tice in the fall. I ueveiopmeni m ixpecwa Much time has been spent during the spring practice in drilling a few men in the proper method of punting. Aided with this instruc tion together with a football, these men will no doubt develop con siderably during the summer with a ' lot of practice. When these men re . turn in the fall, Maddock hopes to have the problem of a good punter solved. Among the men that the coach has spent much time in grooming j for the punting job are: Don Cash,! George Mimnaugh, Rex Adolph and I Kenny Burton. Don Cash has had I ' little or no real training in punting, | but he is not handicapped by this fact, as he has found little diffi culty in adopting himself to Joe Maddock’s style of kicking. With considerable practice, Cash may be among the punters for the varsity in the fall. Material Looks Good George Mimnaugh, quarter for the frosh eleven, is another punter with strong possibilities. With the development of some more drive in his kicking, Mimnaugh should be able to send the ball a considerable distance. Rex Adolph is also send ing the ball some distance, but it will take a great dfeal of practice for Adolph to send the ball in the right spot. Kenny Burton is the fourth man that is under the eye of Maddock for the position of booting the ball. Burton, with a little more development, may also help to handle the punting job. Fitting in weJl with the style of play taught by Maddock, these four; men are being moulded into quarter back material. Each of these men (Continued on page three) A Man at the April Frolic ****** The Startling Tale He Told A hectic, feverish light in his eyes, his cheeks flushed, his silken clad ankles displayed daringly and seductively before him on the copy desk, while he removed his graying wig, the “Man who came back” told his story: “Well, women know everybody’s clothes on the campus evidently. I mean they easily perceived I didn’t have on my own, as you understand I couldn’t. They were suspicious of the fact the coat I had on was so-and-so’s and I wasn’t so-and-so. I got in all right, though —in spite of a mix-up going in, which made it necessary for me to go in downstairs without a costume as I was. Women did begin fol lowing me around then. “One asked me what house I be longed to. I mentioned the name of one because I thought she looked like she belonged to another. She kept on staring at rile. I wemt up stairs, and there was no place left to sit ercept on a pile of chairs. I tried to jump up, but couldn’t make it with the skirt. Then I studied the methods of the other girls, and finally rolled mine and got up. A girl came up and looked me over; and everybody around began to whisper about me, I thought. At least I heard one say: ‘I think that must be a man.’ “Just then the stunt began, and if there’s anything in this feeling eyes on your back in the dark, I did. The girl who had looked me over came again and brought two more. They said: ‘Heavens no, (Continued on Page Two.) Betterment of University —Added Culture By Marion Flaytcr There has been a great deal of talking about “high standards.” All minds have been centered on the ?rteat campaign which has as its fundamental aim, the betterment of the University. There is a crav ing for growth, development, ad vancement. Toward what? Toward the highest possible level of intel lectual development and—{perhapp it is all expressed in this word— culture. If this is our aim, we should have it clearly definod. A member of the so-called “young intelligensia,” leaning back in his idiair and blowing smoke rings into the face of the girl next to him, says lazily, “Good taste is the essence of culture.” Ruskin defined good taste as the “faculty- for receiving the great est possible pleasure from those material sources which are most at tractive to the moral nature in its purity and perfection.” Matthew Arnold described highly educated mankind as having two passions, one for pure knowledge and one for being of service and for “doing good.” And, finally, someone who had watched the coming and going on the campus for several years and had felt that throbbing spirit of growth, said, “The essence of cul ture is. consideration for others.” The “intelligensia,” with their satirical remarks on tho unrewarded efforts of the striving disillusioned; their wliat-does-it-matter attitude toward the lives of those about them—even though thatrbe a well assumed pose—and their broad casting of the utter futility of all ondeavor, seem to need some small injections of warmer blood .... It is not all laissez-faire, how ever. A dark-skimped, black-eyed student in the corner of tho library is conjugating French verbs to him- ' self. This is the fifth language that j ho has studied. He claims to speak ■ only two languages well, his own and English. But he can writo and read about four dialocts of his own country. And he says, “I will tell you a better story than that in 10 j years.” He end other foriegn students j are not satisfied with learning the j absurd complexities of English, but . must know still other tongues. They hope to be “leaders” among their peoples. They want to know the ideas of the world, and to be able to understand those ideas in the languages of the world .... And, by the way, Jean Gorardy, the famous Belgian cellist, tliei i other day, asked so many questions I about the University of his inter-j viewer that he almost forgot to tell about himself. “And do theyJ take tho study of languages seri- I (Continued on page four.) Dime Crawls to Start at 6:30 Men Asked to Have Change Ready The second Dime Crawl of thei year will be held Wednesday eve ning, April 9, in the various women’s living organizations, start ing promptly at 6:30 and ending at 7:30, at the end of the social hour. Every man in the University with an extra dime or two is urged to attend. The chairman of the affair, Jeanne Gay, asks that in order to relievo congestion at the door, necessitated by the making of change, each man provide himself with plenty of money in dime form. This plan, she says, will obliterate the difficulty which occurred at the last Dime Crawl. It will be the privilege of each man to go to as many houses on the campus as he wishes, as long as his dimes hold out. Plenty of women will be on hand at each place to insure the men of a dancing part ner. Miss Gay also asks that the money received by the women’s or ganizations be turned in as soon as possible after the dance, in order to estimate the total amount. A “pep” committee of prominent Uni versity men has also been formed to advertise and “pep up” the Dime Crawl. This committee con sists of Jack Day, Claude Robin son, Hal Chapman, Gordon Wilson, Don Peek, Dave Swanson, Bob Gardner, Ed Tapfer, Otto Mauthe, Doug Farrell, Henry Sheldon, Dick Reed, Rodney Keating and Larry Hartmus. The old slogan still holds true: “A Dime a Crawl Admits you to the Brawl.” Prize Offered for Editorial The University school of jour nalism is working with the Oregon State Editorial association and the Associated Industries of Oregon in the promotion of a contest for the best editorial or article published in any Oregon newspaper on the bene fits of patronizing Oregon indus tries and home-town merchants. Dan C. Freeman, of Portland, manager of the Associated Indus tries, is offering a prize of $100, and the winner will be announced at the state editorial convention at Tillamook next July. The committee in charge of the contest is: Hal E. Hoss, president of the Oregon State Elitorial asso ciation; George S. Turnbull, of the school of journalism, and Mr. Free man. Smoker Draws Large Crowds Boxing Bout Is Main The men’s smoker, that event which came about* through man’s everlasting endeavor to not be out done by woman, came and went last night in the men’s gym. With open collars and tousled hair, the audience was prepared for an informal evening of fun and ex citment. Barney McPhillips and Dave Swanson interpreted their idea of the “way of a man and a maid” by a Spanish “fandango” dance. Dave Swanson captured the eyes and admiration of the audi ence by his female likeness, and Barney McPhillips featured as “her” partner. Prank Short showed his skill at cartooning by asking certain individuals from the audi ence to draw lines of any shape or form upon the drawing board. These he used as starting points for some very clever and amusing drawings. A comedy act was givon by Lyle Palmer and Jack Seabrook, in which both song and dance fea tured. Palmer gave some intricate clog dancing and Seabrook, with the aid of a piano, told the audi ence a little story of the hardships of life which contained parts at several songs, cleverly combined. Bob Mautz, who played the role of announcer, called out the coming of a “golden-voiced” quartet, which won the vocal praise of the audi ence to the extent of several en cores. This was followed by a tra ditional event which always re ceives the hands of the audience. A man from each of the three upper I classes and a boy from the fresh- ' men were called to the floor to par ticipate in a cock fight. Troy Me- ! Oraw seemed the champion of the j occasion by defeating both a fresh- [ man and a sophomore. McCraw is a senior. The main event of the evening was the boxing matoh between Charlie Dawson and Carl Martin. The bout was started in a fast and rough fashion and ended most un expectedly by Martin’s slashing right-hand blow to the watch-pocket of Referee Widmer. The bout re sulted in a draw. EX-STUDENT SECRETARY TO STATE TREASURER Miss Marie Briggs of Salem, ex- ’23, has been appointed private secretary to Jefferson Myers, state treasurer. While in the University, Miss Briggs was a student in the school of journalism. DILLS GOES TO ATTEND SISTER’S FUNERAL William Dills left early Saturday morning for his home in Yakima, to attend the funeral of his sister. He is a sophomore and a member of Phi Gamma Delta.

Fisher, member of tho board of regents of the University, died at the Mercy hospital at 8:55 o ’clock yesterday morning as the result of a blood clot which sud denly developed on the brain and quickly caused death. He was operated on Tuesday, March 25, for appendicitis, and it was thought he had passed the critical point, but yesterday morning, do triplica tions developed which caused his death. Mr. Fisher has been on the board of regents for several years and has long been considered one of the strongest friends of the Uni versity. At the expiration of his term on April 15, 1923, he was re appointed by the governor to serve 12 years more in that position. Much Service Given President P. L. Campbell, in a statement given out yesterday, characterized Mr. Fisher as one of the strongest supporters of the Uni versity’s development. He was a member of the executive committee of the board of rogents and in this capacity has given mU,ch of his time to University service. Three brothers, two sisters and a widow survive Mr. Fisher. He leaves no children. The brothers are: W. II. Fisher of Boseburg; Fred Fisher of Glendale, Douglas county; and Jessie L. Fisher of Dunsmuir, California. Helen M. Fisher of Boseburg and Mrs. II. A. Champagne of Portland are the sisters. Funeral services will be held at the Veatch chapel Monday morning at 10:30 o’clock. No University classes will be held that morning in order to give students and faculty members an opportunity to attend the funeral, and so that the University may pay its respects to one who has given it a long term of faithful service. Former University Student Mr. Fisher was a former student of the University of Oregon and was prominent in undcrgradn&to circles during the time of his at tendance here. He was at one time editor for the old Laurean literary society. This was the first men’s literary society on the campus. Clay county, South Dakota, was the birthplace of Mr. Fisher, bnt he came to Oregon when he was 12 years old and spent practically all of the early days of his yonth in this state. His parents were Mary L. and Jesse L. Fisher. Whea the Fishers first came to Oregon they made their home at Boseburg, where their son went through the public school and where they con tinued to live while he was a stu dent at the University of Oregon. Many Papers Published Mr. Fisher had an outstanding reputation among newspaper men of the state as an outspoken and fear less champion of the causes which he believed were for the public wel fare. At the time of his death ho was editor of the Eugene Daily Guard and had long been connected with the newspaper business of the state. His first paper was a small publi cation founded at Oakland, in Doug las county, the Umpqua Herald. After editing this paper for a year he went to Boseburg, where he wan associated in the publication of the (Continued on page three) No Classes to Be Monday Morning It was announced by the Uni versity administration Saturday evening that the University will be closed Monday morning out of respect to Charles H. Fisher, mem ber of the board of regents, whose death occurred Saturday morning. This will give opportunity for members of the faculty and of the student body to attend the funeral services, set for 10:30 a. m.
