Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, APRIL 11. 1924 NUMBER 131 Music to be Furnished by Eight - Piece Orchestra; Programs Are 'Elaborate FEATURE TO BE SECRET Production of Harmony and Unity in Every Detail Is Aim of Committees Mary Hathaway, who is in charge of this year’s junior prom, reports tjiat work is coming along well in all branches. “The organi zation is being rapidly perfected, although the actual work will be largely concentrated at the end,” she says. “The committees are all doing good work.” The music committee has ar ranged with Jack Myers for an eight-piece orchestra, with two pianos. This will insure the most essential feature of the dance. The committee on decorations is busy now making huge screens to cover vacant wall spaces. These screens are nine feet square and will carry out the decorative scheme. The general idea of decoration promises to be very lovely, the committee reports. Feature Is Secret The feature is being kept a secret. The only words which the committee will utter concerning it are that it is to be both “beauti ful” and “different:,” , The pro grams for the dance are already in the hands of the printer. This year they are to be very elaborate. In this they follow the plan for the whole prom, which is to keep it in expensive, yet make it highly ef fective. The usual admission will be charged for this year’s prom. Seats in the gallery will be 25 cents apiece. Mary Hathaway states that the committee is planning for at least 600 couples. Unity Will be Aim Refreshments will be served dur ing the evening. These will con sist of punch and wafers. The unity is being carried out even in this* line, for the punch is to be kept in tone with the general idea of the dance. The floor commit tee has charge of' taking care of the wraps of the guests. They have devised a system of checking the women’s coats, so that there will be no. confusion and as much speed as possible. Under Mary Hathaway, all the aommittees are working together and correlating their work, so that each feature of the evening’s pro gram will thus be in harmony with every other feature. The prompt work and the early efforts of the committee will probably tend to lighten the last-minute rush and make it go over easily. The committee asks that a num ber of workers from each house be ready to come to the Armory and help decorate just before the prom. SIX STUDENTS WILL GIVE MUSIC RECITAL SATURDAY Six music students will be pre sented by their teachers in a re cital, Saturday, April 12, in the lounge room of the Music building. Those on the program for piano music are: Edith Sliffe, “Prelude and Fugue,” by Bach; Rita War noek, “Prelude,” by Stojowsk^ Althea Peterson, “Indian Runner,” by Bernstein; and Shailer Peterson, “Serenade Badine,” by Gabrielle Marie. Inez Robinson and Olive Merry will give vocal solos, sing in<r Villanelle,” by Del Acqua, and “The Bird of the Wilderness,” by Horsman, respectively. ‘Ma’ Punishes Two Youngsters Who Canoe Up Rapids “Ma” punished two youngsters for trying to canoe on the rapids yesterday. Their little craft had a sail, which filled gustily and strained, and made the water curl away from the bow, as it skimmed up the smooth river below the “white wa ter.” “Let’s sail up the rapids,” shout ed No. One. The shell headed for the “chute.” The wind blew and the rollers rolled and the canoe tossed. Then the wind didn’t blow—but the rollers rolled and the canoe tossed. “Let’s not—,” answered No. Two, and he gulped icy water. For the wind had blown, again, the rollers had rolled, again—and the canoe had tossed—the youngsters out. Quarles Burton and Eric Norman shivered as they crawled out on the sand at the “Portage.” “Say,” chattered the namesake of the ancient Norse, to one of the two who had towed them ashore, “would you mind taking ‘Ma’ back to the Anchorage for us? We’ll run back to get warm.” “Take who?” Eric shivered again, and pointed to the bow of the tippy craft, where was painted, “Ma.” EIGHT CAMPUS WOMEN TO ATTEND Y. W.

RIFLE TEAM TO FIRE AGAINST OKLAHOMA The men ’a rifle team, which was disbanded several weeks ago and sup posedly had ceased firing for the term, is being reorganized for one more match this time, against the [University of Oklahoma. The Okla homans especially requested a contest. Captain J.T. Murray asks every man who thinks he is able to make a good score, whether he has fired with the rifle team this year or not, to appear at the range this week and complete a course of firing for the match. The i hooting will be finished tomorrow.

Oregon pioneers will be honored by the occasion, for their heroic struggles in the long march west ward, which the medallion com mcmorates. Present by invitation will be the governors of three states, Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Mayor Baker of Portland, whose interest in sculpture led him to offer the Forestry building in Portand for the establishment of a western School of American Sculp ture, will participate in the affair. Walter Meacham, of Baker, presi dent of the Oregon Trail associa tion, will attend, and aj number of Oregon pioneers will be guests.

Al though handicapped by rather a rough field, the frosh are spending a lot of time in fielding and hitting. Con sistent hitting and a strong battery, are among the things that Coach Karl is now working up to insure a success ful season. In batting, several safe hits appear better than a few stray home runs, and the coaches are try ing to develop a string of heavy-per centage batters. Five Twirlers Out With the passible prospects of a fairly heavy-hitting nine -in view, a reliable pitcher is rather difficult to choose at this time. With fresh man baseball practice in its early stages, the players out for the hurl ing position have little or no oppor tunity to display their wares, but in a short time, the mound candidates for the nine will no doubt be picked from among five fellows out for the job. Included among the prospects for the hurling staff is DeLassus, a lanky speedball twirler from Cottage Grove. Adolph is another candidate out for the big job. Schulte, hav ing had considerable experience in the box, may develop into a strong pitcher. West and Kiminki just about complete the twirling list. Kiminki is an infielder of great pos sibilities, but he also is taking a fling at the delivery end of the game. A strong piteher for the frosh nine is the aim of Coach Earl, but he also wishes to turn over some good material for the varsity next spring. Hank Foster Assists Working behind the bat, are three catchers of high caliber. The receiver for the nine will no doubt be selected from three possible candidates. They include: George Mimnaugh, Jones and Marsh. These three men can handle the stick with ease and are quite at home behind the bat. The above men nearly complete the list of fellows from which to pick a strong battery. With a strong bat tery and a consistent hitting nine, he coming season looks rather bright, should the possible team pan out in good style. The coaehing staff of the frosh nine las been considerably strength ened by the assistance of Hank Fos ter. Although very busy with a great deal of work, Foster plans on pending as much of his time as pos sible in helping to develop the first year men. With more hitting and fielding practice, the frosh will be ready for jsome real scrimiqage work, which should bring out the weak spots in the team. | MEMBERS OF FACULTY i WILL SPEAK IN STATE Various members of the faculty will journey arouml tlie state in the near future* acting in the capacity of speakers or judges. Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, addressed the Leban on high school assembly yesterday on the subject of “Journalism as a Life r Work.” Today, E. F. Carleton, field sec retary of the extension division, will 'act as judge of the Telegram’s ora torical contest for Grant county, i Professor A. R. Sweetser, head of the botany department, will speak before jthe Salem Women’s club on “Wild Flower Preservation.” Gerrit Dem tnink, assistant instructor in the pub ! lie speaking department, will act as 'judge of a declamatory contest at Madras. Tomorrow Mozelle Hair, sec retary of the extension division, will talk to the Douglas county zone meet ling at Sutherlin, and Harold Benja :min, principal of the University high j school, will address the Lebanon zone meeting. Business Office Warns Against N. S. F. Checks About 1,300 Students Yet to Pay Fees Warning comes to the students from the business office concern ing N. S. F. checks. So far dur ing this term’s time for paying fees, the business office has re ceived two such checks. Students who pay their fees at the last moment and whose checks are returned N. S. F. after the time allotted for paying fees has expired will have to pay the late filing fee of $3 regardless. At the close of business yes terday, about 1,100 students had paid their fees. This leaves 1,300 who have not. There is left only today and Saturday forenoon dur ing which these may square their accounts with the University. Yesterday, the number paying fees was not as large as it should have been, and as a consequence, it is believed that the last min ute rush will be very great. ACCOUNTANTS MAKE AUDIT OF CO-OP BOOKS Net Sales Show $6,843.95 Increase Over 1922 At the meeting of the board of directors of the Co-operative store Thursday, Whitcomb Piepenbrink and Company, certified public ac countants of Portland, submitted the audit of the year’s business of 1923. The report was accepted by the board and the company was em ployed to make during the year 1924 a monthly audit and state ment of the Co-op business. This will include a summary audit at the end of the year. The company will also assist with the income tax return. The following statement was is sued by the auditors: “In general, the books of the University of Oregon Co-operative Store were found to be correctly and accurate ly kept and subject ^o the adjust ments indicated, correctly reflect ing the financial condition of the income and expense of the store.” Net sales for the year 1923 showed an increase of $6,843.95 over the sales of the previous year. The auditor’s report also showed that the total stock of the store on January 1, 1924, amounted to $21,280. Of this amount, $8,040 was consumed in text-'books and the remaining $13,240 in stationery and miscellaneous articles. Students Extend Vote of Sympathy | <>----—-♦ “WHEREAS, Almighty God, in his infinite wisdom, has seen fit to remove from our midst, our late friend and fellow student, Ronald Reid, and “WHEREAS, by his death, the University of Oregon has lost one of its most earnest and re spected teachers and fellows; therefore, be it “Resolved by the Associated Students pf the University of Oregon that to his sorrowing family, we extend our deepest sympathy, and be it further “Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions in behalf of our bo loved friend be sent to his fam ily, and that a copy be tran scribed on the records of the Associated Students of the Uni versity of Oregon, and that a copy be published in the student publication.” COLORADO COLLEGE GETS NEVADA COACH Colorado School of Mines—R. O. “Corky” Courtright, for the past five years football coach at the University of Nevada, has left that institution and will henceforth coach football at the Colorado School of Mines. Courtwright has turned out some scrappy Wolf Pack elevens, perhaps his most notable one being the 1923 team that tied California, 0-0. He was mentioned earlier in the year as a possible successor to former Coach Shy Huntington of the Uni versity of Oregon. GLASS CAPTAINS . ARE APPOINTED Organization for Student Union Drive Gets Step Nearer Actual Launching HEADS VARY IN NUMBER Haddon Rockhey, Chairman, to Choose Solicitors for Every Ten Individuals A further step toward the per fection of the organization for the Student Union drive which starts April 23, is the appointment of the captains of the class soliciting teams. The chairmen in charge of the en tire class organization were appointed arly in the week. These have made the selections of subordinates who will be responsible for the actual oliciting when the time comes. These aptains will be supervisors of teams of 10 students, who will be assigned lists of students to interview and solicit for donations during the day0 of the campaign. The freshman captains are Bussell Lawrence, Bob Love, Earle Childs, Alfred Goss, Annette Heckman, Genevieve Spear, Frances Morgan, and Mayfan Vurpillat. The sopho mores will have as their captains, Charles Norton, Floyd McKalson, -Rodney Keating, Steele Winterer, Maurine Buchanan, Mary Cool, Esther Church, and Anna DeWitt. Upperclass List Smaller The junior captains are .Ted Gil len waters, Charles Jost, Milton Brown, Mary Clerin, Marguerite Mc Cabe and Martha Shull. The seniors in charge of the canvassing teams j are Francis Altstock, Paul Sayre, and Iiussell Gowans, Velma Farn-1 ham, Ada Harkness, and Rosalia Keber. The numbers of captains to each class vary according to the size of the classes. The underclasses being argor, are organized under more ^workers. Haddon Rockhey, general chairman of soliciting, is making ap pointments so that there will bo a campaign solicitor for no less than every 10 of the more than 2,000 stu dents in the University. “We are gradually completing our lists of organized workers,” Haddon Rockhey said last night. “Our or ganization will be so complete that with automatic precision it will start on its actual business when the clarion call is sounded on April 23. And j there will be no respite until the | last subscription to the Student! Union is obtained on April 26, the last day of the campaign.” Plans Are Thorough Eockhey says now that the plan is to have each student solicited by no fewer than two persons. There will be no tete-a-tete combats without an ppointed referee to report the prog ress of soliciting. The eternal tri angle will be present with the Stu dent Union as the objective of the campaigning. There will be no avenues of escape. Student lists of names are in the hands of the solicit ing authorities at the present time, and methods of approach are beirg mapped out. Conferences are to be ;held with all workers in the campaign. They are to be given thorough in fractions by their leaders. There will lie no hesitancy on the part of any one trying to help out the Student Union movement. Noon Meeting Planned Each worker will be equipped and armed with all available information about the t'nion. He will be able to expound on its benefits, the feasi bility of the plan. He will be able to quote authoritatively, and oven go into debate on the subject. There will be no delaying or diverting the solicitor. During the days of the campaign ing, it is planned to hold daily noon meetings of the 125 workers in the drive and spur them on to nobler efforts, hear the progress of the can-1 vassing, and correct errors, and aid those who are having harder times of it. Discouragements will be un- i availing. The zest and enthusiatgn, 1 say the organizers, will carry the en- | tire campus over the top in astound-1 ingly short time. Campus Seniority All Set for Dance Function Tonight The seniors are all set for their liveliest bust of the year. To night at 8:30 o’clock in Dream land hall all seniority will gather for the biggest informal yet staged by the class of ’24. Cords and school clothes will reign as the proper garb. All those who do not turn out for the event will miss one of the peppiest affairs of the year. Jack Myers and his musical crowd, the Midnite Sons, will play the jazz for the occasion. Eddio Edlunds, assisted by a committee of four, is chairman of the dance. He urges all seniors to come, as they will be assured of a good time. Especi ally those who did not attend tlio class meeting earlier in the week are urged to attend, though they perhaps did not hear the de tails of the event announced at the meeting. LIFE OF SERVICE BEST, SAYS DR. H. F. SWARTZ Ethical and Religious Needs Are Emphasized There is a large field of endeavor open to the youth of today through the idealistic vocations — those that stress the idea of service and not of mterial reward, declared Dr. Herman F. Swartz, speaker at assembly yes terday. Dr. Swartz is president of the Pacific School of Religion. Besides offering an opportunity for ervice, these vocations, such as medi icino, teaching Y. M. C. A. work, the ministry and the church, hold forth a life that brings now experiences each day, a life that leads to new things and never goes flat after a few years. These vocations are among the most worthwhile, the speaker said. The need for establishing more firmly the ethical and religious ideas of our forefathers is very great today, he continued. Ho told of men in po sitions of trust in the nation, men like Wilson, Harding and Coolidgo, who recognized the necessity of es tablishing firmly the ethical and mor ■il foundations of the country. Dr. Swartz gave as an example a survey of Indiana, .which showed that 61.2 per cent of the total population have tin relation to any church organiza tion, demonstrating the need for mo/e persons to enter the idealistic voca tions. “There is a realm of service open to the idealistic-minded youth of to :lay,” ho continued. Dr. Swartz emphasized the need of sthical and religious values through several examples. A business man, 94 years old, said that ho had found in his own experience that one can wipe out economic conditions of pros perity and that within a few years they will bo restored; whilo if one de stroys the ethical foundation, there is no appreciable recovery. The coun try is facing such a condition today, Dr. Swartz thinks. EX-OREGON STUDENTS TAKE FAST AUTO TRIP Price Sullivan and Paul Staley, for mer students of the University of Or egon, class of ’25, arrived in Eugene Wednesday morning via a Buiek road ster of the class of about 1912, en route from Santa Cruz, California, to Portland, where they will spend a two weeks’ vacation. The trip was made in two days, the last lap from Sacramento to Eugene taking only 20 hours. Sullivan is with the Chapman Furniture company of Santa Cruz in partnership with Frank Chapman, an other ex-Oregon student, and Staley is in the employ of the Standard Oil company there. Many other former students of the University who are working in that part of California were seen by Sul livan and Staley. Among them are “Fuzzy” Carson and “Cutie” Slade, who are now with the Vernon base ball club, the former pitching and the atter playing short. Herb Larsen s working on the San Francisco Bul etin and Everett Pixley, with the General Motor company of San Fran isco. Maud Neighbor and Margaret Jackson, who are attending the Uni versity of California, and Margery Vale, at Stanford, are other Oregon Btudents whom they saw. The boys plan to return to Santa Cruz in about two weeks, when their vacation expires. AST TUCK WILL STM AT OREGON Rumors of Javelin Hurler’s Departure Make Cinder Outlook Appear Gloomy MEET HERE, MAY 30-31 Varsity May Send Two Men to July Olympic Games; Spearow Out for Team By T. J. Campus followers of varsity ath letes received somewhat of a scare yesterday when a rumor was circu lated that Art Tuck, veteran jave lin hurler and weight man for the track team, was withdrawing from the University to take a position with the state highway commission at Salem. Tuck admitted that he had receivel the offer, but had de cided not to sacrifice his chancee with the varsity and the Olympic track squad. With Tuck on the team, Bill Hayward has a fair chance of be ing able to send two men across the waters, to Paris to take part in the international track and field contests to be held in July. Spearow Has Good Record Ralph Spearow, a man who for many seasons since high school days has excelled in the pole vault, should, if he lives up to his past achievements, be able to make the Olympic squad. Though few expect that Oregon will be able to capture the coast meet held here May 30 and 31, the chances are good that the squad will be well up toward the top. Walter Kelsey, stellar freshman on last year ’a team, will be almost sure to make points in the hurdle events. Spearow and Tuck, besides their main events, the pole vault and javelin, will probably make a num ber of other points. Spearow is out for the high jump, broad jump, and may be entered in the 100-yard dash. Tuck, even if he is not ontored in the sprints because of a weak knee, will throw the discuss, shot, and perhaps the 56-pound weight. Belay Team Good A well balanced relay team is seen in Arthur Rosebraugh, Vic Risley, Ben Lucas, and James Kin ney. The first three named have all won the letters as relay or 440 men. Rosebraugh is a two year man. The decision announced recently to hold the Olympic tryouts for the Pacific coast in conjunction with the regular meet has placed the University in a position to put on what will undoubtedly be the big gest event of its kind ever staged on the coast. Hayward track field, with the Addition of the new 220-yard straightaway, which is now under construction, will be as well equipped to handle the affair as any on the coast. Many to See Meet It is expected that several thou sands of people will be here to wit ness the meet from all over the coast. Jack Beneficl, graduate manager, has announced that an extensive ticket sale campaign will bo carried on, especially at Corval lis and other nearby points. Under the terms of the agreement to hold the meet here, Oregon must guar antee $2,000, which is to bo divided among the institutions participat ing in the conference sending representatives to take part in the meet. The money is divided ac cording to the distance the teams have to travel. UNIVERSITY DEPOT KEEPS 2107 KEYS TO BUILDINGS There aro 2107 keys, of every description and kind, which open every tiling on the campus from buildings to closets, stored in the ! University depot. They are cata* logued and hung on panels within a black painted case, and are easily accessible, despite their numer osity. And these are only the keys which are saved in case the ori ginals, which are distributed among the faculty and workers of the Uni vorsity are lost. Eighty-six keys grace the belts of the night watch men. Altogether, H. M. Fisher be lioves that there are at least two times as many keys to campus buildings in circulation. Figure up the total yourself.
