y VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE. THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1924 NUMBER 142 OREGON MRS WIN GAME 12-11 Whitman and Varsity Nines Battle Through Thirteen Innings of Hectic Fray VISITORS SCORE FIRST Pil’s Work Saves Contest for Reinhart’s Men; Last Tilt Is This Afternoon By A. B. Page the dime novel author and his hair-raising tales of thrilling diamond contests! Way back in our youth we read about one, Frank Merriwell, ball tosser extraordin ary, and we tingled with sup pressed excitement at the struggles which his creator described. But yesterday’s conference-opener with Whitman college put all the dime novel tilts in the shade. Oregon won 12 to 11, but that does not tell much. It does not reveal how the two nines battled back and forth for the lead for 13 long innings. Several hun dred frenzied students missed their dinners as they shrieked and yelled for the varsity to win. How the victory turned into defeat again, and how finally as the sun was shedding its last rays on Cemetery Tidge the varsity sluggers made a last rally and drove in the win ning run. Pil Saves the Day Pil saved the day, both with his work on the pitching mound and with his big bat. He first staved off disaster in the seventh inning when he relieved Tim Sausser after the visitors had driven in five runs and turned a tliree-run handi cap into a two-run lead, 7 to 5. With one down and a man on third, Pil caused the hard-hitting Ward to fly out and struck out Matsuno, retiring the side. The varsity was now two runs behind and Ward’s steady hurling Jit? Ill mem *. of the seventh. Pil continued his excellent twirling and backed by good support, held the visitors in the eighth, in the next half of that frame Pil again came to the fore. After Bittner had flied out to center, Latham doubled to right and Wright walked. Pil then came up and smacked a. liner along the third base line, scoring the two former and tieing the score. Score Tied in Tenth From then on, things went well for both sides until the tenth. Whitman got life when Bittner threw wild to Latham and Walther reached first. A couple of sacri fice flies and a run was made. The varsity came back and tied it again, however, and would have won then but for some bad coach ing. Latham singled and scored when Lereaux, who relieved Ward became wdld, hitting Wright and walking Cook and Pil. The next batters failed to drive in further runs and the score remained dead locked. Eleventh Inning Doubtful Hits by Hall and Ward and a couple of varsity errors in the eleventh enabled three Missionaries to eross the plate. Three runs be hind made things look mighty gloomy for Coach Reinhart’s crew% but again the unexpected happened, this time after two men were out and many of the rooters were leav ing in disappointment. Wright came to' bat after Hob (Continued on page four) DEAN HALE ON TOUR FOR GIFT CAMPAIGN Dean William G. Hale, of the law school, who is making a tou^ of the state in the interests of the Gift Campaign will speak at the weekly luncheon of the Hood River chamber of commerce, on April 29. Dean Hale s also scheduled to ad dress the chamber of commerce at Baker on April 30, and The Dalles Kiwanis club on May 1. Monday, the dean was the speak er at the Grants Pass chamber of commerce. He will probably spend a week or ten days on the journey, returning to the University shortly after the first of May. Oregon Mothers to Be Weekend Guests May 3-4 Houses Are Supplied With Invitations Invitations for Mothers’ week end have been sent to all the liv ing organizations on the campus. While these invitations are to be sent by students to their moth ers, the invitation will come from the whole University. Mother’s ’ weekend is May 3 and 4. At that time it is desired that as many mothers as possible be on the campus to visit their sons and daughters, and catch a glimpse of campus life. Invita tions have been left at the Co-op store for those who do not live in organizations or who fail to secure copies. T'he program of the weekend is simple. The Women’s league will give a tea Saturday after noon honoring the visitors. The main entertainment feature will be the 'Junior Vod-vil Saturday night. Sunday the usual vesper services will be held in which the University choir will sing. The weekend programs have not been published yet. IT MODERN RUSSIAN PLAY TO BE SHOWN TONIGH ‘He Who Gets Slapped’ Has Competent Cast Darrell Larsen will star as the leading figure in the University com pany’s production of Andreyev’s “He Who Gets Slapped,” at Guild hall 8:30 o’clock tonight. This play will also run Friday afternoon matinee at 3 o’clock and Friday evening at 8:30. The theme of the play centers around' a man, evidently of high, birth and education, who descends into a provincial circus to be a clown. The play is laid in this circus, an ar tificial, hectic, yet sad little world; and the characters are artificial and yet sad—a motley collection of “art ists” assembled together to manufac ture amusement for the outside world. Each of these “artists” is the more [ interesting because of a symbolism | that can be traced to to the nation of Russia itself. A large and competent cast has been 1 ..working on the play. Wenona Dyer will play opposite Darrell Larsen. Others on the cast are Walter Mal colm, Kate Pinneo, Dave Swanson, Terva Hubbard, Virgil Mulkey, Paul Krausse, Clifford Zehrung, Boyd Homewood, Henry Sheldon, Lexro Prillaman, Florence Crandall, Helen Mayer, and Laird McCormick. Mr. Reddie, head of the department of the drama and the speech arts, is directing the play. Picturesque costumes, and the circus setting will make the production one 1 of interest. Y. W. TEA SALE PROCEEDS NET TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS About $2o dollars was raised at the annual spring Y. W. C. A. tea room, on Tuesday afternoon, from the sale of home made pies and cakes, hot fudge sundaes and cof fee. The money raised from this sale is to go into the Seabeck fund, which is used to send delegates to the annual Y. W. C. A. summer camp at Washington. SCORES WILL BE RECORDED TODRY Official Board in Front of Headquarters Will Show Daily Success of Drive CAPTAINS WILL REPORT All Team Workers to Have Luncheon at Women’s Gymnasium This Noon Today the Campus will read in unmistakable figures wliat it has succeeded in doing thus far toward a Student Union. The second of those magnificent sessions at the festal board of the Woman’s build ing will take place this morning at 11:50, when all the working or ganization of the Union drive will come together and make reports of progress. And then, following the mfcal, when all reports have been heard, and figures have been compared, there will take place an impres sive ceremony. The workers, all 400 of them, will form in parade and march to the Union head quarters. There, before the offi ial score board, the assemblage will see the scores recorded. The amounts raised by the various teams in the classes will be marked on the board, and the aggregate re ults tabulated. Class Competition Keen The various quotas for the dif ferent classes have been appor tioned'. Competition between the; classes will be stimulated by vari ous devices worked out by the! stunts committee. Teams will at all times keep their leaders in formed as to their progress and keep the news of the campaign hot. Another report from teams will be heard again tomorrow at a similar luncheon to that to. be held today. Team captains will be called upon to make oral announce ments of their successes in the soliciting. Every effort is to be made to ascertain at all times just how fast the Student Union idea is taking root. Mutual Aid to be -Given There will be no formality about the luncheon today. The main purpose of it is to get the workers all together in a single body to fijnd out wliiat errors have been made. Team workers will recount their successes or rebuffs, and give mutual aid to one another in solving solicitors’ problems. The band will be on hand at the meal to instill the emotional ele ment in the assemblage. Chairman Roekhey will dispatch business in due haste. Aside from the actual workers themselves, there will be no talks. It is to be a mere dis cussion group, formulating strong er methods of attack, and giving and receiving encouragement from leaders and co-workers. PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENTS Alpha Delta Ur announces the pledging of Vera Perkins of Springfield, Oregon. Kappa Delta t*hi announces the pledging of Harry Dutton of Eu gene, Oregon. Dance Drama and Orchestra Concert Are Well Received By E. C. Interpretations and personifications, daintily and skillfully executed—this was the Dance Drama presented at the Heilig theater last night by stu dents in Miss Lillian Stupp’s inter pretative dancing class.. The danc ers showed the result of talent and ex cellent instruction and the portrayal of the characters involved was flaw less. The University Symphony orchest ra accompaniment delightfully rend ered, was suggestive of the spirit of the drama, helping in the interpreta tion. The first half of the program, which was given by the orchestra alone, consisted of classical selections. Lora Teshner, an instructor in the school of music, who has recently re turned from Seattle where she has spent the past year and a half study ing under George Kirschner, gave two violineello solos, which showed train ng in their presentation, remarkable for the technique and skill in execu-, tion, as well as for the particularly human touch which she brings out. The last orchestra number, a selec t'on from the “Fortune Teller,” Del bert Moore, a student in the school of music, played “The Gypsy Love Song,” a part of the “Fortune Tel 1 r,” as a violin solo, which was beau t:ful in its pathos and appeal to the heart. The audience was large and very demonstrative in their appreciation of the talent displayed by the danc ers and orchestra. DRIVE Campus Is Cleared Of Habitation As Students Assemble Necessity of Union Building Is Told by Campaign Men Breaking out in a bedlam ot' enthusiasms backed by a sound determination to build a Stu dent Union for the University of Oregon students- of the future—juniors, seniors, fresh men, and sophomores flocked into the gymnasium room of the Woman's building for yes terday ’s special assembly. A parade from house to house pre ceded the 11 o’clock gathering, a parade featured by the* re sounding notes of the. Univer sity’ band and the echoing yells of an excited student body. Seniors forgot their static dignity and pounded their venerable canes to pieces on the platform of the Woman’s building. The playing of the band was in terspersed by’ monasyllablic cheers for this class or that class and by volumnous huzzas for the Student Union. Just out of a Portland hospital and still under the care of a phy sician, Prince L. Campbell, presi dent of the University of Oregon, RATING OF STUDENTS TO BE COMPILED SOON Only Highest 50 Per Cent May be Published The registrar’s office will soon begin work on compiling the rat ing of individual students under the new system of giving credit to those who carry and pass a large number of hours. It has not been definitely de cided yet whether the names and ratings of all students in the Uni versity will be published or just the highest 50 per cent. The man ner of publishing this list when it is compiled has not yot been de cided. Under this new system, for each credit hour of grade I, the student will receive 5, for one hour of II he will receive 4, and so on, so that the credit given to each hour is equal to six minus the grade. This system is devised to give addi tional credit to those who carry a large number of hours. The person who carries 18 hours and receives all I’s and II’s will have a higher rating {haii one who carries 1 - hours and also gets all I’s and II ’s. This list of student ratings is not expected to be completed for some time. CLUB NAMES OFFICERS AND NEW MEMBERS Officers were named and nine stu dents in sculpture elected to mem ship by the Sculpture club in a'meet ing Tuesday night, -lack Snook will head the club for the coming year, with Harold Wagner as vice-presi dent. Howard Kummel is the new secretary and Margaret Skavlun the corresponding secretary. Alicia Ag new is the newly elected-treasurer. New members in the club are: Mild red Strong, Marian Hill, Hazel Bor ders, Ruth Holmes, George Mansfield, Herman Blaesing, Howard Rummel, Helen Rail and Anna Keeney. OLUF I. PETERSON, FATHER OF MRS. DEAN WALKER, DIES Oluf I. Peterson, prominent Astoria citizen and father of Mrs. Dean Walker, died Sunday after noon following a short illness. He was 62 years old. Mr. Peterson was president of the Astoria Sav ings bank and a county commis sioner. At various times during his 40 years’ residence in Astoria, he held many publie offices. P. L. Campbell entered tin' crowded room shortly after 11 o’clock. He seemed a little stooped and somewhat pale. As he came in the audience rose to its feet, silence reigned supreme, and the head of the institution tookj his place on the platform along! with John MacGregor, Claude! Robinson, “Daddy” Straub, and | “Bob” Kuykendall. The students seated themselves, ! there was a brief moment of silence, and Claude Robinson, president of the Associated St^i j dents of the- University of Oregon, I rose to his feet. There was a | noticeable flush on his cheeks, and | he spoke rapidly. Yet his voice was clear, unusually clear, and penetrated to the farthermost cor-j ner of the room. “Mrs. George Gerlinger, member of the board of regents,” he said, "this morning telegraphed the Stu dent Union committee as follows: j ‘1 will pledge myself to raise, j $1,000 to be used in furnishing the j men’s lounging room of the Student Union building, provided tho neces- j sarv money is raised for its erec- j tion, and 1 will pay this sum within the next two years.’” Then President Campbell was introduced. He spoke seated in a, chair. In a firm voice he told how the field of higher education ! must be kept ever open for as many as cared to make use of it. The j growth and experience of various! other institutions was pointed out. “College education,” he said, "gives everything that the fathers (Continued on page three) Chairman Gives the Day’s Orders to Team Captains 1.

(d) Include the solicitors' cards for those persons who have signed pledges, or been finally interviewed. (e) Heal envelope and be pre pared to submit it after your oral report has been made. 3. Several hundred pledges have been made at the Student Union headquarters. No doubt some of these pledges have been made by persons whom your team was sup posed to solicit. Your team will not receive credit unless you call at the Student Union headquarters between 10 and 11 a. m. today, and receive the signed pledges for which your team should receive credit. HADDON ROCKHEY, Chairman. Support Shown by Names Put on Dotted Line Committee Members Are Active and Report Progress; Many Voluntarily Give Funds Before Solicited by the Team Workers. The campaign for subscriptions to the Union got in full swing today. The d ly opened with the distribution of Em eralds by Oregon Ki ights on the campus. The student body was brought face up against the task of raising funds, and from the earliest proclamation of the issue volunteer subscriptions began to pour into the headquarters of the drive. The little shack sheltering the properties of the drive com mittee Avas a hive of activity all day. Persons, enthused over Hit' Student Union idea, presented themselves at the counter and announced their willingness to sign on the dotted line. There was no indication of any coercion connected Avith the drive. The fact that so many volunteered their'pledges without having to be approached by solicitors indicates t0 the committee-that the drive has the support of the student body. FAITH IS VOICED BY PRESIDENT CAMPBELL Speech Given in Assembly Summarizes Campaign President P. L. Campbell's mes sage tn the University students at as sembly yesterday on the Student Un ion drive runs, in part, as follows: “The. field is already set and the stands are full of spectators, thou sands of them, 0000 of the alumni of the University, 18,000 to 20,000 of our fellow citizens here in Eugene, 800,000 of our fellow citizens of the state of Oregon, many thousands of the students of other universities throughout the length and breadth of j the land, because this movement is a; notable movement, and the work that1 you are doing today is work that I makes world history. “ It is not just the matter of the Stu- 1 dent Union, it is a broader proposi tion than that. You, making your start now, will be setting the mark for our fellow citizens in Eugene who j we hope are going to make the $500, OOO for the auditorium of the Uni versify. “There has bwn a flood of stu dents entering the colleges and uni versities. Everywhere they are being1 overwhelmed. The great question is what you can honestly do for these students who are coming to these in stitutions. A college education doub les earning capacity, it gives social distinction, it gives political power, it gives everything that a father and mother have been hoping for. The student has been making his plans, and preparation and then the institu tion was not able to do him justice and simply treated him as an tin-| known unit in a great mass, and failed him out, dashing his hopes. “Already the number of the faculty , is too small for the number of the student, body. We are in that way | considerably below the average of the great institutions of the country. Only 1 one tiling to do is to make your pre paration so that you may retain the' old virtues of the small college and all the ties! virtues of the large in stitution,” he sail). MODEL AIRPLANE IS MADE BY HEAD OF ENGINEERING Stanford University—(By P. f. | N. S.)—Dr. W. F. Durand, nation- j ally known engineer and head of the mechanical engineering depart meat at Stanford university, has just completed a model airplane, which will be used in research | work for the United States govern-1 ment, in connection with both the j army and the navy. Tests are to be made of the effect of various objects on propellor efficiency. » Committee workers received their instructions and commenced rounding up their prospects early in the day. Many of the workers reported favor able progress in the first day’s cam paigning. Canvassing in the living organiza tions is carrying on well. In many such organizations it is announced that the successful solicitations to tal close to 100 per cent. In those houses where few are holding out, those that are wavering are expected to make their pledges before Satur day midnight. By the time the campus population was on its wild way to assembly in the Woman s building, the campus was well decorated with earmarks of the campaign. Dial Indicates Progress Later iu the day a dial to indi cate the progress of the drive was placed over the library entrance. A large score board to stimulate inter est in the competition between cam paign teams was erected by the Un ion headquarters. The committee on stunts will have several more enter taining features to attract attention during the next days of the campaign. No reports in actual figures were obtained yesterday. Teams were scattered to all parts of the city doing their work. They will come together before the meeting tomorrow and re port to fheir captains exactly what success they have met. The figures will be published and the lagging' teams spurred on to increased efforts Classes Broken Up < lasses tried to meet yesterday, and had only slight success in the morn ing. The senior cops leading the great procession of workers emptied all campus buildings of their occu pants yesterday morning. Ten o’clock classes were interrupted and halted. Some instructors were surprised, some joined in the spirit of the rally, and only one or two cases of obstinacy were encountered. Students were agreeably surprised and rushed forth from the halls of learning to join the throng which has the task of in itiating the movement which will build i'igger and more spacious buildings for the University. Students Awake to Work •Students only awakened to the fact ut a Student I’nion drive yesterday whoa they saw all business give right of-way to Student Union affairs. Nothing was more important than Student Union. And nothing will be the rest of the week. So say the workers, the faculty, the administra tion and the regents. So we have all these behind ns to put her over by midnight Saturday.
