HEADS OF DRIVE HOLD MEETING All Captains and Solicitors for Gift Campaign Are Told of Detailed Plans LEADERS GIVE TALKS Rockhey Explains Orders Concerning Work Ahead; Enthusiasm Is Aroused Yesterday, 25 more students 'be came sold to the idea of a Student Union, when the class chairmen and team captains of the soliciting for ces were informed of the detailed plans of the campaign. Haddon Rockliey, chairman of soliciting, handled the meeting and introduced speakers who through their enthu ^ • siasm for the campaign stirred their hearers to an equal interest in the drive which is scheduled for April 23-26. Claude Robinson, student body president, explained the details of the organization to those who are a part of it. He pointed out how the idea of Student Union evolved and was tied up to the general en dowment plan of the University. Meeting Days Announced “All eyes are upon us,” declared Robinson. “Alumni, Eugenians and the state at large are together ob serving the maneuvers of the stu dents in this movement. It is for us to set the example. We cannot falter now. In fact, this idea is going to catch fire with the stu dents so that each and every one will come forth with his contribu tion to the Union and make it easier rather than hard for us to put his proposition over.” Haddon Rockhey gave the cap tains explicit instructions concern ing their tasks. They are the or ^ ganizers of the teams of 10, which are to do the actual canvassing of the entire membership of the asso ciated students. He said that the solicitors must be chosen next week and that the entire organization must be perfected before the actual campaign opens on April 23. The freshmen captains will meet on Monday, sophomores on Tuesday, juniors on Wednesday, and seniors en Thursday to pick their soliciting bodies. Rockhey stressed the im portance of making careful choices of soliciting personnel. Farrell Outlines Features “We must have absolutely the best the campus can provide in the way of workers for this drive,” he said. “Our men and women will be thoroughly imbued with the spirit of Student Union and will be armed and equipped with all pos sible information that those inter viewed may require. When we start out to put this drive over the top, we are to begin it with the deter mination to bring it to a success ful close, and this can be done only when each man, woman and child working for the Student Union has the enthusiasm for it that we are feeling now.” Douglas Farrell, chairman of the committee on stunts, gave an inter V esting outline of some of the fea tures of the campaign days. He showed how the optimism of the student body will be incited for the campaign and the general level of good spirit maintained. Stunts to be Good “The personnel of the entire soliciting organization will have (Continued on page three) French University Scholarship Won by Emily Veazie One of the highest scholastic honors that can befall a Univer sity student came to Emily Veazie, Portland, a graduate of the University of Oregon last June, when word was received that she was one of two women selected for scholarships to the University of Bordeaux, France. Miss Veazie was selected from a large number of applicants in uni versities over the country because of her exceptionally high grade average during her work here. She graduated from the Uni versity in 1923 with honors. Be sides making honors in her major subject, English, Miss Veazie did equally well in her other courses. The scholarship, which is given through the American Council of Education, carries with it board, lodging and tuition, and 30 per cent of steamship passage. Miss Veazie plans to enter the University of Bordeaux next fall. At present she is teaching school near Portland. DIM WHEN STARS QUIT Two Men Lost; Teams to be Picked Next Monday The chances for a strong frosh tennis team are not so bright as they were a few days ago. Two stars, Westerman and Okerberg, can not give their services to ten nis this year. Westerman, who is a sprinter, has turned his atten tion to track. Okerberg had been showing up strong in tennis, but was operated on the ear and was forced to leave school. This has put a crimp in the frosh ten nis forces. Three matches were played in the first round of the elimination tour nament, Thursday. Adams de feated French, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. Tay lor lost to McIntosh, 1-6, 1-6. Simp son lost to McCormick, 6-3, 1-6, 1-6. There are several other matches to be played in the first round. All of the first year men are rounding into form and will soon be ready for hard practice. McCormick and Mead have been gotng strong. Five matches were played in the varsity . elimination tournament. Rice defeated McKalson, 6-1, 4-6, 6-1. McBride won over Crary, 6-2, 6-3. Horsfall beat Sayre, 6-2, 6-3, but in the challenge round lost to Crary, 3-6, 4-6. Meyer beat Beatie, 6-1, 6-0. Coach Fahl expects the contests to be finished by the end of the week. Regular frosh and varsity prac tices will start next Monday when the teams will be named. The first match of the season will be held in three weeks. MICHIGAN PROFESSORSHIP GIVEN OREGON ALUMNUS Francis D. Curtis, ’ll, has been elected assistant professor of edu cation in the University of Michi gan, according to a letter from Earl Kilpatrick, dean of the extension division. The letter says: “I am reliably informed that Francis D. Curtis has been elected assistant professor of education in the University of Michigan. He is taking his doctor’s degree at Columbia this spring after one year of work. The other year was done in the Portland center, full credit being given by Columbia for ajl graduate work done here.” Dean Dyment Expresses His Views on Over-Organization By V. V. O. “No one can convince me that a campus of 2,200 students would work efficiently with as many as 125 or ganizations,” declared Colin V. Dy ment, dean of the school of literature, science and the arts, yesterday when interviewed. In a quiet tone and a iefleeting attitude he expounded how the law of diminishing returns was applicable to over-organization, on the campus. He has just returned from a short trip to California. Continuing, he said that just as an unlimited increase in the number of tr departments in a small university, like ours, with each department work ing independently of the others, would decisively hamper its efficiency so also too many campus organizations would hamper the intellectual life of a student who fails to get out of his four years of university life as much as he would have otherwise. He might be able to acquire some superficial knowledge and might be able to learn a few technical rules, but beyond that he would find himself unfit to succeed in the higher walks of life without severe struggle. To avoid such a catastrophe, each student should scrutinize his weekly program carefully. If he finds out that by working on certain organiza (Continued on page four.) OU NINE TO COMBAT ALUMNI Coach’s Men in Fine Fettle for Practice Game on Cenjetery Ridge Today DIAMOND IN GOOD SHAPE Knudson, Foster Expected to Pitch Stellar Ball for Opposing Players Campus baseball fans will have an opportunity to see the varsity nine in action for the first time this afternoon, when Coach Rein hart sends his proteges against an aggregation composed of alumni and former varsity baseball stars. The game is billed for 3:00 o’clock on the Cemetery ridge diamond. Coach Reinhart has been drilling j the squad hard every day this week and the men should be in fine fet tle for this game. He is undecided as to his opening lineup, but it is likely that the entire squad, or : most of them, will get a chance to show their wares before the end. The infield combination of Scrip ture, first; Ross, second; Bittner, short, and Hobson, third, has been used the most during the practices this week and will in all probabil ity start the affair. Other in fielders likely to break into the lineup are: Jimmy King, Troutman and “Dinty” Moore. Pitchers Not Selected In the outfield, Sorsby, Wright and Terrill appear to be the most likely starters, with Peterson, Frum and Mills in reserve. No choice has been announced for the 'mound, but Coach Reinhart announced last night that he will use as many of his flingers as pos sible. No one of them will He worked more than three innings. Cook, Bliss and Orr will probably break into the backstop position. The exact lineup of the alumni! contingent is uncertain. Numbered in its lineup will be such former stars as “Skeet” Manerud, Karl Knudson, “Spike” Leslie, Hank Foster, Don Zimmerman, ahd sev eral others who performed on the diamond during their varsity days. Knudson and Foster are both cap able pitchers, and will no doubt give the varsity batters something to worry over. Manerud was a classy shortstop and clever hitter during his years in college, while Leslie and Zimmerman are both three year lettermen in baseball. If the entire nine can live up to past records 'the varsity will have a tough egg to crack in their first encounter. Whitman Game Next Contest I Today’s game will be the only practice tussle for the varsity squad before th.e opening conference games with Whitman, outside of several affairs with the frosh. This is due to the fact that there will be no diamond to stage a regular contest until some time yet. The new diamond near Hayward field is in excellent shape except j for a sqction of rough field, which is still somewhat soggy. If the 1 good weather continues it will be j ready for practice use by Tuesday I of next week. A backstop will be j | erected and bleachers put up be fore the opening of the regular season. No grandstand will be built there this year, however. Interest continues to grow in the coming game with the Meiji nine from Japan, April 26. The Cosmo politan club has made arrange 1 ments to entertain the visiting ath j letes with a dinner and banquet J after the game. DR. SWARTZ WILL DELIVER TALKS IN CITY CHURCHES Dr. H. F.

Allen I for the school of journalism, from II Charles Gratke. These papers be j longed to his father, John E. j Gratke, former proprietor of the ! j Astoria Budget. I One of tho first issues of James ’ Gordon Bennett ;s Morning Herald, r i dated May 6, 1835, is among the group. Another paper is an issue I of the Boston Gazette and Country ‘ Journal for March 12, 1770. In ! : this number appears an editorial I bewailing the destructive conse I quences of quartering British troops ‘ ! among the inhabitants of the city of Boston. So fragile and yellow with age, that the paper will hard ly hold together, one can scarcely ‘! make out the casualty list, the re sult of a fracas when the “soldiers fired off their muskets at the in habitants, while some were pricked j with bayonets.” ALINE NOREN, GRAD OF 1914, VISITING HERE Aline Noren, ’14, field representa tive of the State Child Welfare com mission, drove down to Eugene Thurs ; day afternoon with Miss Margaret Creech, formerly of Keed college, di rector of social case work for the Portland school of social work.

OREGON WOMAN TAKES CHARGE OF FOSSIL MEN The handling and classifying of the bones of the “fossil men,” re cently discovered in Los Angeles, have been entrusted to Rachel Husband, formerly a geology stu dent at the University. Miss Hus band, in writing to Dorothy Dixon, states that in removing the clay from the bones, she found one in strument, an awl. This instrument will be of assistance indotermining the ago of the fossils. The skeletons were found in the southwest part of Los Angelos ! when a group of men were excavat ing for a sewer system. The fos sils were turned over to the direc | tor of the Los Angeles museum, | where Miss Husband has been em I ployed for two years. She has been I placed in complete charge of cloan j ing and assembling tlio bones of I skeletons that may prove America to be the center of a very ancient race. MRS. WARNER TO TALK ON CHINESE PAINTINGS A lecture on Chinese painting-will be given to the students of the art ap preciation class by Mrs. Murray Warn er at the meeting of the class Tues day morning at 10 o’clock, announces i Alfred H. Schroff, head of fine arts, j and instructor in the course. The stu | dents are asked to meet in the Mur ray Warner museum in the Woman’s building, instead of Villard hall. | This is the second of a series Mrs. Warner is giving the students. The \ first was Shanghai. One on Chinese I sculpture will be given before the end of the term. Professor Schroff wished Mrs. Warner to give the lec tures on oriental art because of the special interest in tho museum on the campus. The courses can thus be linked with the museum collection, and students can acquire a background with which to enjoy the works of art to, be found there. I IT 2:30 TOUT Athletes Will Compete fop First Time This Term; Eight Events Are Listed DISTANCE MEN TO REST Pole Vaulters Performing With Mid-season Form; Class Meet Is April 26 This afternoon Coach Hayward will have an opportunity to see his track proteges act in real competi tion for the first time this term. The meet will start promptly at 2:30 and both varsity and freshmen athletes will participate; eight events havo been scheduled, and Bill says he will add more if there are men out who will not have an opportunity for action in these. The scheduled events are: 440, 880, shot-put, high hurdles, sprints, javelin and probably the pole vault and high jump. The milers and two-milers will be given an oppor tunity to watch their speedier brethern perform, for once; inci dently, they will have a chance to rest the crop of “buck-shins,” in fected feet and other minor ail ments which havo developed to make the way of these track men hard. All athletes expecting to make the varsity and' freshman teams are expocted to compete in the scheduled Saturday competition unless excused by the coach. Vaulters Work Hard Last night, Spearow, Bosenburg and Kelsey spent a busy evening bambooing over the high standard. Of course, if Spearow shows much improvement, he will be breaking world’s records; but it is perfectly safe to say that he isn’t losing anything. Both Bosenburg and Kelsey are going better than ever before, also both are working at tho hurdles. Kelsey is a hurdler who has taken up vaulting as an avocation; while Bosenburg is a vaulter that has taken up hurdling as an avocation. Both seem in a fair way to succeod with their second clidices also. The freshmen are working faith fully, but Bill says there is an un usual run of cripples to contend with this year. “Buck-shins,” here, as with the varsity distance men, is the chief ailment, although pulled ligaments and sprains have had their share in retarding the work. Tho first meet for the year lings scheduled at present is the Frosh-Book relays at Eugene on May 3. Belay Meet May 3 The first real competitive effort of the varsity is tho relays at Seat tle May 3. There is an inter-class meet scheduled for April 26; which Bill intends to use as a sort of try-out for the Washington relays. The inter-class relays run last win ter were won by a combination junior and senior team. The fresh men and sophom'ores battled for second place throughout the meet, with the freshmen leading until the final race. In this, the two-mile relay, the second year men took a first and a third, which gave them sufficient lead to win second place in the carnival. Tho freshmen have an opportunity for revenge which they intend to use when the inter class competition is held. COMMERCE BUILDING GIVEN PHOTOGRAPHS The school of business administra tion recently received a donation in the form of three colored photographs beautifully framed and ready to be hung in some of the class rooms of the school. The pictures, which are twenty-four by forty inches in size, are the gift of the port of Astoria.

These photographs were taken by Woodfield, of Astoria. Their titles are: (1) Portable Type Electrie Cargo Conveyor, Port Astoria Term inals; (2) Roof Type, Electric Cargo Handling Cranes, Port of Astoria Terminals; (3) General Viow Port of Astoria Terminal.
