EDITOR OF ‘OLD OREGON’ RETURNS FROM PORTLAND Grace Edgington, editor of “Old Oregon,” returned to the campus Saturday night from Portland, where she has been visiting since Thursday, collecting material for the medical issue of the alumni magazine. Miss Edgington said that while she was there, she spoke with many alumni and they all showed keen interest in the Stu dent Union drive. They seemed to look to the campus for inspiration for their own part in the Gift Campaign. PROFESSOR O. F. STAFFORD IS BACK FROM CINCINNATI Prof. O. F. Stafford of the chemistry department is back on the campus after attending the funeral of his mother, who passed away last week at Cincinnati. Pro fessor Stafford was gone 10 days, and during his absence, Prof. H. G. Tanner taught his classes. | Head of Varsity Baseball Team *W: S MHn'rti James Boss METHODS FOR JUDGING CANOE FETE OUTLINED Heads Choose Four Points of Desirability The general lines along which floats in the eanoe fete will be judged, were outlined last evening at a meeting o£ the heads of Junior Week-end, with Prof. A. H. Schroff and Karl Onthank. In order that the judges may have a definite standard of excellence, four things were given as desirable, each to count 25 per cent towards the prize. The first requirement is con ception, under which comes first the idea which is carried out. Originality of idea is of first importance. “I can even conceive of awarding the prize to a float whose composi tion was not the best but which pos sessed particular distinction of idea,’' said Professor Schroff. Conception also includes expression and appropriateness to the setting. If two floats appear to have equal merit in all other lines, the one most appropriate to the mill-race setting would be judged the better. The committee is making no attempt to standardize the floats, however. Their first desire is to see the students dis play originality and imagination along this line. The second point, also counting 25 per cent is composition. This in cludes the factors of balance, rhythm and harmony. Color is also counted one-fourth. As a large part of the effectiveness of the float depends upon the color scheme, this point is being emphasized. Under the head ing of color, come color harmony, and ingenuity of lighting effect and tone. (Continued on page four) HUSKIES TAKE FIRST CONTEST Four Homers Feature Close Game Which Washington Wins from Varsity, 9-8 RALLY IN NINTH FAILURE Visitors Clout Out Thirteen Hits to Seven by Locals; Game Today Set for 3:15 Thirteen safe hits, including three home runs, a pair of three baggers, and three two-base hits enabled Washington to nose out the varsity tossers in a hard-fought contest yesterday, the first of the series with the Huskies. The var sity threatened continually and had the tying run ,on second in the ninth, but the last minute rally failed and left Oregon the short end of a 9-8 score. Washington hit the pellet hard when they connected. Malone, Jackson, and Lewis each broke into the limelight with four-base swats, while Frayne and Lewis each garnered triples during the after noon. “Shanty” Malone, the visitors’ slugging shortpatcher, was the hitting demon, with a home run, two doubles, and a single in five trips to the plate. Varsity Makes Seven Hits The varsity are only credited with seven hits, but they made them all count, and took advantage of the opposing pitchers’ wildness enough to be in the running until the final out. Hobson, with a house run and a single, and Latham, with a single and a double, led the Oregon attack. Both teams used two pitchers during the fray. Tim Sausser started in the box for Oregon, but was relieved by Bay Williams in the sixth. Morgan, who started for Washington, was jerked in the seventh, after the varsity had driven in two runs and taken the lead. He was relieved by Shidler. Huskies Start Well Washington got off to an auspi cious start when Malone, lead-off man, drove one of Sausser’s pitehes for a home run. Latham’s error followed by Frayne’s triple made it two. The varsity came right back and tied it up, however. Sorsby and Boss both were easy outs, but a couple of errors enabled Hobson and Bittner to get on, and Latham brought them in with a crashing two-bagger. The visitors got another in the second, when Jackson connected for the second homer of the day. They ran the count up to four in the third, but the varsity also scored in this inning, when Hobson walked, stole second, reached third on a fielder’s choice and crossed the plate on a wild pitch. Oregon Bailies in Seventh Washington scored again in the fifth, but the varsity evened the count when Hobson drove ont a Babe Buth clont, sending Boss in ahead of him. In the sixth, Saus ser weakened to the extent of enabling another run to come in on two safe hits. Williams was touched for another hit by Lewis, but the run-getting stopped when Malone was trapped off third for the third out. Scoring was then delayed until the seventh. In this frame, Bein (Continued on page three) Reed College Plays the Host To Group of Oregon Students By M. L. M. Smiles of recognition—extended hands in greeting—congeniality and good-fellowship with an underlying current of earnestness of purpose— these were just a few impressions gained through a visit at Beed col lege during the past weekend. On Friday morning, with the Student Union campaign at its height, a small group of Oregon students, headed by Dean Erie Allen, drove to Portland at the in vitation of President Scholz to be present at a few of the conference sessions held there under the leadership of Dr. Alexander! Meiklejohn. Did you ever chanae to be a guest at the home of a slight ac quaintance, and after £.. very short time, have you felt' that you were ■with a very dear friend? It was this feeling that was predominant cordiality which went far toward making the visit one which will never be forgotten. At the informal gathering around the “Commons” fireplace during the evening, were students, facul ty, and townspeople, all intent on listening to the sincere, scholarly voice of Dr. Meiklejohn. The next morning, we again gather in the assembly room. “Let’s bring our chairs around in a semi-circle, so that we can all see each other,” says the student leader of the group.

That is the manner in which Dave Swanson, director of the Junior Vod-vil, who has been reviewing acts every after noon and evening, characterizes the annual event. Two big performances to accom modate the throngs of University students, faculty, and out-of-town i guests who have signified their in- j tention of attending the widely-her- j aided Junior Vod-vil, will be a new j feature this year. Eight Acts Billed A wealth of material is displayed in the varied program chosen for the function. Dance acts, orchestra acts, song and dance numbers, the always appealing coon feature, a very good burlesque number, a one-act comedy, anl Imogene Letcher’s musi cal comedy, “Captain Jacqueline,” proclaimed as the climax of the even ing, are included in the eight acts billed on the program. The first show will begin at 7 o’clock and will last two hours, the second show is set for 9:30, thereby allowing 30 minutes to clear the house between performances. It is believed that most of those on dates will avail themselves of the early performance in order to have more time for other activities later. The arrangement of acts has been care fully worked out so that there will be no time elapse between aets, each following the other in rapid succes sion. Skits Are Listed The opening is a lively dance num ber; the second is an act by Jack Myers’ Mid-Nite Sons, featuring an exotic tango. A travesty starring three campus celebrities in snappy dialogue and plenty of jokes and stories, will follow. The fourth is a one-act comedy with an original theme which will be given by the University company; next will be a song and dancb act using 'double piano; this will be followed by a musical skit. “Captain Jacqueline,” the musical comedy featuring a cast of 35, will precede a burlesque act in which seven prominent students will participate; the fintd number is a clever feature by Bay Graham’s Collegians. The University orchestra will furnish music for the evening, and the Mid Nite Sons will play for the musical comedy. Imogene Letcher of Port land, composer of the latter, will ar rive Thursday to put the finishing touches on her musical comedy before its initial appearance on Saturday nisrht. All Seats Reserved Seats will go on sale Friday morn ing at 10 o’clock at the Heilig thea ter, and will be handled the same as tickets for all road shows inasmuch as there will be no exchange tickets. Prices are 75 cents and $1.00 and all I seats will be reserved. A limit has been placed of ten tickets to a per son. Don Park will be in charge of the seat sale. Virgil Mulkey, Pauline Bondurant and Henry Sheldon are executing the scenery which promises to be an at-! tractive feature of the show. Hilda! Chase and Lexro Prillaman are col-1 lecting the properties for the per formances. Special Equipment Had Special theatrical equipment has arrived at the Heilig for the use of the Vod-viL Joy Johnson, Kather ine Pinneo and Bernard McPhillips are assisting in the direction of the acts. A large contingent from the medi cal school at Portland has stated in tentions of coming to Eugene for the , Vod-vil, as well as an assembly from O. A. C. and Corvallis. Mothers down for Mother’s weekend will attend, and Oregon authors here for a conven tion on that date. THREE A. t CANDIL Nominations Slated for Next Assembly and Elections May 7 Many Other Aspirants Expected to Show Intentions Tomorrow By Arthur Budd Although student-body nominations will take place Thursday at assembly only three candidates have announced their candidacy thus far. Ruth Akers, president of the girls’ glee club and one of the best-known young vocalists in the state, is in the race for student-body secretaryship. Augusta DeWitt, senior editor of this year’s Oregana, will run for the edi torship of next year’s book . The third candidate to announce his in tentions is Fred Martin, member of the yell staff, who aspires to the position of yell king. The first two candidates are juniors whilo Martin is a sophomore. Little Talk Had. Up to yesterday there had been lit tle or no talk of elections. The Stud dent Union drive swept everything be fore it, and any talk of campus poli tics would have been about as wel Como on the campus last week as were the squawks of the few who held out against the great union movement. Now that the purpose of the drive is accomplished, the student bodjy must act quickly, for nominations are only two days away and there are only nine days between now and elections, which will be held Wednes day, May 7. Student-body nominations were held last year on May 3. On April 24, ten days before the student assem bly heard the nominating speeches, four candidates announced their can didacy, Three days later the first candidate for student body president came out, but it was not until the morning of nominations that the only other man to run for the chief executive job made his intentions known. Short Tim* Loft The extreme shortness of the tune is not the only thing which makes this year’s political wrangle interest ing. The dearth of outstanding men in the class of 1925 is quite evident. Most of the men from that class who have been mentioned have been char acterized as “too young” by the seniors who are taking the trouble to be interested. That this is to be a “dark horse year” is evident. That the “dark horse" may come from the class of ’24 is suggested. Just who It might be is still conjecture. Karl Shafer and Hal Chapman have been men tioned, but neither, man will return to the campus next year. Bandall Jones, a senior in law, has been sug gested, but he will make no state ment. Kd Tapfer, whom the oampus wise-heads had slated to run, abso lutely denies any intentions of doing so. If Jones could be persuaded to run, his reputation as an older and experienced head would give him some advantage. Developments Awaftod A great many backers of prospec tive candidates are cautiously await ing today’s developments, and it is (Continued on page four) LADDER TOURNAMENT TO'RANK TENNIS MEN A ladder tennis tournament will be held for the varsity and fresh man aggregations starting tomor row afternoon.

The conference will be the first of its kind ever held on the Pacific coast. A national conference of similar nature convened at the University of Michigan last week. And,as many of the Western and Pacific coast insti tutions were unable to send repre sentatives, the conference here this week has come about, partly, because of that situation. The meeting this week will bfl mostly of an organizational nature, as it is plannel to make it an annual event. Student lean funds, student self government, honor codes, vocational advice, and fraternity and living or ganization problems will be some of the issues to be discussed at the con ference.
