This summer weather would seem to recommend hikes and picnics, and a few parties over the week-end did avail themselves of it. Spencer’s Butte and Baldy mountain were the most-sought places, though the Mc Kenzie river attracted a large num ber. Some, however, decided that the mill race was pleasant enough for anyone’s good time. * * » The campus is looking forward to the dime crawl to be held from 6:30 to 7:30 tomorrow evening. The af fairs seem to be very successful, so will probably be a well known student event in the future. Harnesses, rakes and hoes will come into ^leir own next Saturday night.

OREGON SUCCESSFUL IN YEAR’S FORENSICS (Continued from page one) dreds of miles apart, is the great est innovation in forensics that has be«n made for many years. Oregon is fortunate in having been a par ticipant in this event, which will undoubtedly be written large in the pages of history. League Meets Here The University was particularly lucky in bringing to t)ie campus, on November 16 and 17 the Pacific Coast Public Speaking league con ference!, at which time practically all the heads of public speaking de partments and debate coaches along the coast were entertained. At that time., the league sponsored an ex tempore speaking contest which was considered a very successful event in the year’s work. Another event that is not held every year in Eugene, but will, in fact, not be conducted in Eugene again for nine years, was the state peace oratorical contest, which came off April 4, with Oregon, represented by Ted Baker, tying for second place. The complete schedule for this year’s forensic contests, both men s and women’s, was as follows: On December 6, the men’s triangular debate with Reed college and Ore gon Agricultural college, which had been reinstated to include Raed, turned out victorious for Ore gon. The score was 3 to 0, with Reed, and 2 to 1 against O. A. C. The men’s triangular meet, held on January 18, with Idaho and Brit ish Columbia, with Oregon victori ous over the latter, 2 to 1, and van quished by the former by the same score. Women’s 'reams Active The women’s triangular debate with O. A. C. and Willamette was staged on February 14. This was one of thei most successful debates that the women held, and was praised very highly. Oregon was completely victorious in this de bate. On March 6, in the men’s tri angular contest with Stanford and the University of Washington, Orei gon, due to the sickness of one of its members and the substitution of another man at the last minute, lost to Washington, 3 to 0, and to Stanford, 2 to 1. Both teams made an excellent showing in spite of their hardship, however. A girls’ debate in which it was attempted to establish a triangle between the Universitise of Wash ington, California and Oregon, was abandoned for a dual meet between Bose La Vogue Beauty Shop Manicuring, Scalp and Face | Treatments. Marcelling 13th and Kincaid DEPOT LUNCH Drop in have a bite OPEN ALL NIGHT Oregon and Washington. In this contest Oregon lost, 3 to 0, in Eu gene and Seattle. Oratory Follows Debate After debate came oratory. The first of these contests was the old line contest held at Linfield college, in which E. D. Conway, represent ing Oregon, took second place. Following this, Oregon tied for second place in the state peace con test, which came off last Friday evening. i Those to whom the credit for the past season’s success is largely due are H. E. Bosson, head coach; Ger rit Demmink, assistant coach; Elam Amstutz, forensic manager, and Herschel Brown, assistant. C. D. Thorpe is head of the de partment. MONITOR PUBLISHES PORTLAND NUMBER The Portland Center number of the University Extension Monitor, published on the campus, came out last week and contains several short sketches, some poems writ ten by students, accounts of stu dents, accounts of students’ acti vities at the center, personal notes and news of students and announce ments dealing with some of the de partments. Earl Kilpatrick, dean of the ex tension division, writes that the issue contains “no ambitious at tempt to display the advantages of the center, nor to impress with sta tistics.” It gives, rather, an esti mate of the true nature of the work done there, he explains. ATHLETIC CONFERENCE TO BE AT MINNESOTA General Aspect of Subject Will be Discussed _ University of Minnesota—The j largest attendance ever recorded is j exported by the department of physical education and athletics, University of Minnesota, at its third annual spring conference of athletic directors and coaches, which will be held in the University armory, Minneapolis, April 16, 17 and 18. Besides lectures and demonstra tion work in many fields of athle tics and education, the Minnesota I athletic department members under j Director Fred Luehring will con duct general discussions on such points as eligibility, amateurism, sportsmanship and physical educa-! tion programs in their relationship ■ to the school. These will come at luncheons to be served on Wednes day and Thursday, April 16 and 17. Subjects to be stressed during j the conference will be football, track, basketball, baseball, swim ming, hockey, gymnastics and intra mural athletics. Instruction in the courses will be wholly free and will be given by members of the depart ment of physical education and athletics. The instructors who will offer the various subjects will be: Ath letic problems, F. W. Luehring; football, William H. Spaulding; track, T. N. Metcalf; basketball, Dr. L. J. Cooke; baseball, Major Lee Watrous; swimming, Niels Thorpe; hockey, Emil Iverson; gymnastics, Dr. W. K. Foster; in tra-mural athletics, W. R. Smith. According to Harry A. Scott, director of the physical education department, no arrangements, as_ yet, have been made to send a Uni versity delegate to the conference. LEADERS FOR STUDENT UNION DRIVE CHOSEN (Continued from page one) Union which is to be built, nor will it be any one person’s property. We will all be working for a vir tual institution which will be for the enjoyment and benefit of every student, no matter what his status. “I cannot emphasize enough the importance that these four calendar days must signify for each stu dent,” Bockhey continued. “There is to be no coercion or compulsion. Everyone will be familiar with the feasibility of the Union campaign. The desirability of the Student Cen ter is unquestioned. The organiza tion which will work with me will be so thorough and complete in iiself, that no person will be over looked or refused an opportunity to help.” “The least for any student to expect is that he will be called upon to give in proportion to his means,” said the president of the student body yesterday, commenting on the. proposition which is to be put up to the students. “Our plans are not yet so far advanced that we may know exactly what kind of a build ing will be erected and how much it is to cost. But we have deter mined the manner in which eaeh person will be approached. There will be definite quotas to be realized, indeed,” stated Bobinson. “But they will not preclude anyone giving what he can or more, than the ordinary.” The salient feature of the student campaign—the most important fact in connection with it—is that the SPECIAL LUNCHES for PICNICS and CANOEING 75c Assorted Sandwiches Chicken, Lettuce, Raisin, Nut and Cold Ham # # # Choice of Salad—Shrimp, Tuna Pish, or Potato # # * Olives and Pickles * # • Marshmallows Choice of Cake • Ye Campa Shoppe - FREE DANCING Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9:00 to 10:00.

In those four days the gift cam paign will be made or broken. The crisis this time will be confronted right at the outsat. The students’ generosity will be the gauge of all donations. Students Take Canoe Trip by River to Corvallis Excursion Full of Excitement, But Can be Made in Safety George W. Kidder and Bill Martell made the trip to Corvallis by canoe last Saturday, in seven hours and 20 minutes. They reported fine weath er all the way and a rather exciting time when they encountered some whirlpools, and also when running into the swells behind three boats which were on the river. A week ago, Elmer Calef, Francis Cleaver and Jack Hunt made the same trip. When they reached Har risburg a snowstorm blinded! ;them so that they could not see 100 yards down the river, and it was necessary for them to stop two and a half hours until the weather cleared. Day Bailey, who has charge of the canoes at the Anchorage, has a trail er rigged up which brings the canoes back to Eugene. It is large enough to accomodate six canoes. Mr. Bailey has also made the trip and considers it safe, as there are no bad snags or treacherous waters, and it is not so hard that girls cannot take it. He has planned to send out excur sions every Saturday, and has six canoes for this purpose. With four in a canoe, parties up to 24 can be arranged for. f I MEET IS SET FOR APRIL 18 Close Contest Is Predicted by Varsity Coach Oregon will try to repeat its per formance of March 29 when it meets O. A. C. in a return swim ming meet at Corvallis on April 18. The Aggies are working out regu larly in preparation for the fray. Coach Fahl is not over confident by the recent victory and 'believes ! that a harder fight will be had at ; Corvallis. Coach Farrell is drilling Cramer ] and Van Dyke for the breaststroke, while Oregon will enter Sinclair in ! that event. Horsfall and McCabe, I local divers, will meet stiff compo | tition in Burroughs and Kenney. The ! local divers will be somewhat handicapped on the higher board. Gardner and Yoran won an easy victory over Silva and Carpenter in the backstroke, but the Beaver mermen are working for more speed, and hope to cop the honors. Oregon has an edge in the sprints, but is not as strong in the plunge. Wiswall and Samuels have found real opponents in Turner and Smith, who have been plunging around 60 feet in competition. The varsity relay team outclassed the O. A. C. quaTtet in the meet here, and in their workouts have been making fast time. "With the addition of Stoddard in the sprints, the var sity will be able to hold its own in the 50 and 100-yard dashes. "Happy” Kuehn, world’s cham pion fancy diver, will not be entered against Oregon, as ho is participating in the national meet. i Q*t Classified Ad habit. ■ *™*™^** Service Giving Store ■■■■■■■■ ■ I Sunshine Means Pictures I This wonderful weather has brought forth the desire for picture taking.
