Ruth Akers, candidate for secre
taryship, is in a raee that is likely to
be hotly contested. There are many
more outstanding junior women than
men, and the secretaryship is the
most important o/fioe a woman can
hold. In addition to being glee club
president, Miss Akers is a Kwaina,
a member of Mu Phi Epsilon, national
musieal fraternity, and is active in
Women’s legue and in various com
mittee work. This year she attained
speeinl prominence through her lead
in Mrs. Beck’s "Hour Hand,” which
received a big ovation here and in
Portland. She is an Alpha Phi.
Miss Do Witt, who has been men

didate for the secretaryship, created
somewhat of a surprise when she

CAMPUS FORD FAMILY
PROFITS BY AUCTION
Five Cars, Ranging in Price from $25 to
$ 1 18, Recently Purchased by Students
By E. M.
Five Henry Fords wore added to
the campus Ford family last Sat
urday when a number of Univer
sity men attended an auction sale
conducted by a prominent Eugene
dealer. Some twenty-five or
thirty Fords were placed on the
auction sale and knocked down to
the highest bidders. Prices were
not exliorbitant.
One relic sold for $25 to a fresh
man. This price does not include
a license, which must be con
sidered. Tho red license plates call
for an additional $15 if not already
attached. Tho other cars purchased,
fortunately, 'were completely out
fitted. A second ear found a home
for $51, a third for $55, a fourth
for $01, and tho fifth, with a
starter, for $118. Two of the cars
were purchased on a partnership
basis, thus requiring a compara
tively small capital per man.
A hasty campus census reveals i
approximately sixteen Fords of
varying ages and reputations
owned by students. Someone has
aptly suggested that it is a case
of “Oxforditis,” with the ponder
ous “ox” part omitted. It would
seem that the newer version is
destined to be exceedingly popular.
When compared with other
necessities of every day life, an
automobile is extremely inexpen
sive. Thirty dollars with two
owners to a ear, will purchase a
first class car. This is less than a
suit of clothes, a bicycle, a canoe
or a phonograph. Furthermore,
everyone purchasing a car is given
a free 20 minute ride in an air
plane. As yet there have been no
accidents.

Oregana position.
IMiss Do Witt is at present serving
as junior woman on the student coun
cil and is on the executivq council
of the Women’s Athletic association.
As one of the two secretaries to the
dean of women Miss De Witt has
gained a wide acquaintance on the
campus and is oxpectod to run a
strong race. Considerable activity in
women’s athletics, such as tennis,
swimming, canoeing and baseball are
also credited to the aspirant for the
'Oregana editorial post. Miss lie Witt
lives at Hendricks hall.
Fred Martin, who may very prob
ably run unopposed for yell leader,
has been on the yell staff for two
years and has had some experience in
leadership in addition as the presi
dent of To-Ko-Lo. Whether or uot
tho new sophomore organization will
feel called upon to run an opposition
candidate is an interesting question.

trols the situation largely for the liv
ing one. The plot is well sketched,
and interest»is skillully sustained.
Critics, in speaking of the play, have
characterized it as a piece of masterly
technique; and those that have seen
performances know that it has in
stantaneous appeal because of its
human appeal.
Patricia Novlan Byrne plays the
leading role as Nina Jesson. This
will be Mrs. Byrne’s debut on Guild
hall stage. Darrell: Larsen plays op
posite her as Hilary Jesson. Others

DOUGHNUT BASEBALL
SCHEDULE ARRANGED
Girls’ Teams to Play Four
Games Each Night
Due to the fact that the time is
getting short, four games a night are
being scheduled this week in women’s
doughnut baseball. This means that
the two outside fields anrl the two
gymnasiums will be used.
The schedule for the lest of the
week is as follows:
Tuesday—League I—Thatcher cot- .
tage vs. Sigma Beta Phi; league II—
Susan Campbell II vs. Pi Beta Phi;
league III—Alpha Delta Pi vs. Susan
Campbell I; league IV—Hendricks
II vs. Kappa Kappa Gamma.
Wednesday—League I—Hendricks
I vs. Alpha Xi Delta; league II—
Susan Campbell II vs. Alpha Chi
Omega; league III—Kappa Alpha
Theta vs. Gamma Phi Beta; league
IV—Hendricks II vs. Delta Zeta.
Thursday—League I—Alpha Phi ,
vs. Sigma Beta Phi; league II—Pi
Beta Phi vs. Alpha Chi Omega;
league III—Alpha Delta Pi vs. Delta
Delta Delta; league IV—Kappa Kap
pa Gamma vs. Chi Omega.
Friday—League I—Hendricks I vs.
Sigma Beta Phi; league II—Susan
Campbell II vs. Alpha Omicron Pi;
league III—Kappa Alpha Theta vs.
Susan Campbell I; league TV—Kap
pa Kappa Camma vs. Delta Zeta.
It has been found necessary to have j
the same teams play two consecutive1
nights but it is believed that this
will not work a hardship since the
games are short. All teams are urged
to follow the schedule as far as pos- j
sible so that class baseball may be
started soon. If teams can not play
their games they should call Mary
Oerin, head of baseball, at 125.
