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

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.

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

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. Education,
and its relation to our future lives,

ML ACTS I
HAVE VARIETY
_
Two Showings to be Given
in Heilig at 7 and 9:30
on Saturday Evening
SEATS ON SALE FRIDAY
‘Captain Jacqueline,’ Play
by Imogene Letcher, Is
Feature Skit of Program
The biggest show of the year is
coming Saturday evening. 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

LADDER TOURNAMENT
TO'RANK TENNIS MEN
A ladder tennis tournament will
be held for the varsity and fresh
man aggregations starting tomor
row afternoon. Coach Fahl has
picked a varsity squad of seven
men and a five-man frosh team
from the recent elimination tourna
ment, but he will pick a five-man
varsity and a three-man frosh
team.
The varsity squad is composed of
the following, according to their
rank: 1, Meyer; 2, Rice; 3, Crary;
4, McBride; 5, Slattery; 6, Hard
ing; 7, Gamboa. The frosh squad: |
1, Mead; 2, Adams; 3, McIntosh; 4,
Westergren; 5, Dorsey. Tho man at
tlve bottom of the squad will play
the man in the next higher rank
and so on until five men are
chosen for tho varsity team and
three for the freshman crow. The
losers drop out and in this tourna
ment the rank of the freshmen and
varsity men will be determined,
ments will be made tomorrow.
