The installation of the Alpha chapter of Oregon took place on April 14, 1923. Twenty-six under-graduates were initiated on the fourth of June, of last year. Initiation is expected to take place within the next three weeks, the exact date, the committee in' charge, and the program to be an nounced in a few days by Dr. R. C. Clark, president of the local chap ter. The highest averages made by the members-elect were 1.21, by Irwin 8. Adams, and 1.43, by Claude Robinson. Thirty-seven on Faculty Alpha of Oregon had as its nucleus the University Honor society, founded in 1920 for the purpose of petitioning Phi Beta Kappa. The members of this soci ety were largely members of the faculty. Students having the aver age of better than 2.25 necessary for membership in Phi Beta Kappa (Continued on page four) Freshman Playing Vod-vil Title Role O -o Esther Setters Photo by Kennell-Ellis, Eugene UNIVERSITY COMPANY TO GIVE VOD-VIL ACT Comedy Theme Is Original; Other Skits Planned Besides “Captain Jacqueline,” the musical comedy feature star ring Esther Setters and James Leake, which will be staged Satur day night at the Junior Vod-vil, are eight other clever acts of every known sort. Among these is a one-act comedy presented by the University com pany. The theme is an original one and contains plenty of good comedy lines. The action takes place in Rev. Andrews’ rectory gardens and is woven about a young man and^ his numerous love affairs. The title of the comedy is “Bobby.” The members of the company who will appear in the play are: Fred Strong, Paul Krausse; Rev. Andrews, Bernard McPhillips; Kate Andrews, Kate Pinneo; Mrs. Graham, Helen Mayer; Delilah Andrews, Florence Crandall; Bobby, Walter Malcolm; Pearl Estebrook, Florence Couch. Among the other acts which are creating a lot of interest, and will, no doubt, be unanimously com mended by the audience is clever character dance by Laverna Spit zenberger and Mildred Le Compte. As a second part of this act, 12 members of Thacher cottage will do a clog dance. The Mid-Nite Sons will again be on the boards for their usual ap pealing melodies. This year they will have as their feature a dance by Joy Johnson and Bernard Mc Phillips. Eugene and Tom Short will pre sent a one-act melodrama entitled “Homeward Bound.” The scene is laid in the driveway of Henry Travers’ country home. Ted Wal strum will be at the piano to fur nish the necessary melodies. Ruth Griffith and Abbie Green will have one of the cleverest acts on the program. A part of the act will be a double piano feature by Abbie Green and Maurie Wal ters. As a decided contrast to the other acts is one which will be presented by five of the campus violinists. The act has been pre pared by Rex Underwood and those (Continued on page three) Chlorine Compound Used On Severe X-Ray Burns Of Boys A chlorine compound is being used on the X-ray burns of Leon ard Neuman, graduate assistant in physics, and Meryl Deming, gradu ate assistant in chemistry, both of whom received burns on their hands while doing class work on the physics department X-ray ap paratus recently. Both boys report that they are on the road to re covery. Neuman was able to move his fingers yesterday, this being the first time since receiving the burns. “With the dead tissue gone, the hands are frightful looking things,” said Neuman in describ ing his condition to the Emerald reporter. “The X-ray destroyed the tissues. The object now is to get the dead tissue off the hands and start the new tissues to build ing up. This is the purpose of Dr. Ratabough’s chlorine compound. “The compound is in powder form,” said Neuman. “Dr. Rata bough mixes the powder . with water, and then permits us to hold our hands in it. Bismuth subgal latte is applied after the treatment to give temporary relief while the slow process of rebuilding tissue is taking place,” he said. Neuman reports that he will probably have control of his fing ers in a short time. The fact that he moved his fingers yesterday is a good indication. All probabilities are that he will, have complete usage of his hand by the latter part of the summer. Deming, who was burnt about eight times as (Continued on page three) VARSITY MEETS 0.1. C. TODAY Aggies Have Advantage in Contest, According to Early Dope of Season OREGON BATTING GOOD Return Game at Corvallis Tomorrow Afternoon at 4; Outfield Still in Doubt Some red-hot baseball is in pros pect for campus fans this after noon, when the varsity tossers will clash with their traditional rivals from O. A. C. on the Cemetery ridge diamond in the first of a two-game series. The second game will be played at Corvallis Saturday. To day’s game will be called at 4 o ’clock. As far as dope is concerned, Coach Balph Coleman’s nine appears to have the edge on Reinhart’s varsity gang, but if the Lemon Yellow sluggers continue to hit the pellet as hard as they did in the last Washington game, today’s contest should be a toss-up. Aggies Win Games Each team took both contests from Whitman. The Aggies, how ever, cleaned up the Missionaries by much larger scores than did Oregon. Coleman ’b nine broke even with the Huskies in two games, while the best the varsity did was to tie one game and lose the other. Comparative scores in the Wash ington contests are about the same. The Aggies won their game by one run, while Oregon lost by the same margin. Comparing the two with regard to their contests with the Meiji team bolsters the Ag gies’ stock considerably. O. A. C. whitewashed the Japs, 7-0, while the varsity was trounced rather badly, 11-6. If dope is any cri terion, the Aggies have the edge. Ridings Not Playing Reports from Corvallis say that the Aggies will be without the ser vices of their stellar shortstop and one of their leading batters, Rid ings, this weekend. Ridings is a good ball player and his loss would no doubt weaken the Beavers. However, there is also a strong I possibility that the locals will ! enter the game without their regu- ' lar shortstop, Bittner, who was J hard hit by a pitched ball in the Becond tilt with Washington and may not be able to enter the game. In case he is not used, Coach Rein hart will probably switch Hobson: to short and put Pil on third to fill the breach. Captain Jimmy Ross will cavort at second as usual. Hunk Latham or Cook will cover first base, likely the former. Brooks to Pitch The outfield trio has not been definitely selected. Sorsby the veteran, remains a fixture and it , is very likely that Terril will be 1 back in his old place at left. Right field is the doubtful garden and King, Ringle, Wright, or Peterson may start there. Skipper Brooks will probably begin in the box, as j he has had a long layoff, although Pil, Williams, or Sausser are pos sibilities. Either Cook or Bliss will don the windpad. The Aggies come here with the j reputation of being a hard-hitting team with a corps of good pitchers, i Their batting ace is Sigrist, left j fielder, who has batted over .500 | in the conference games so far, j poling out 10 safeties in 19 trips. Other highly touted hitters in their lineup ^re Perry, first base, and Escallier, right field. Young, pit- , cher, also has a good batting aver age. ! Their pitching mainstays are | Dick Young, southpaw, and Ed ; Coleman and Tebb, right-handers. 1 Coleman held the touring Meiji's scoreless, while Young won a vic tory from Washington so that var sity batters will have to have their batting optics against these two.! However, if the past few games are any indication, the main weak ness of Reinhart’s tossers has been in their fielding and pitching. The batting has been excellent among most of the nine. --<J> Student Taking a Lead in Vod-vil j O -o Hugh Walton Photo by Kennell-Ellis, Eugene LEAP YEAR DANCE FOR STUDY BODY TONICHT Tickets Placed on Sale in Living Organizations With only 12 hours left in which to ensnare the elusive male and secure a date for the Leap Year dance to night, many of the men en the cam pus are still wondering what it’s all about and whether they are to spend their evening in quiet seclusion about the familiar fireplace or with the rest of the student body at the Woman’s building. The dance is under the auspices of the Women’s league and tickets have been distributed to all the women’s living organizations in order that the modest, and reticent feminine ele ment may purchase them secretly. However, a ticket is not necessary and the 85 cents, the price of admission for each couple, may be presented at the door. Good music is assured by the com mittee, of which Lucinda Dell is chairman, and the dance at Ye Cam pa Shoppe has been cancelled to give precedent to the Leap Year affair, so that it promises to be a real stu dent 'body dance. The committee anticipates the sale of many more tickets today to sup ply the demand of those women who have postponed their dates until the last minute. HELEN CAPLES LEAVES TO STUDY IN EUROPE Helen Caples, who was on the campus in ’22, will leave her home in Albany, Oregon, June 9, for a trip to Europe.1 She intends to study under M. Phillipe, one of the leading piano teachers at the Con servatory of Music and Architec ture at Fontainebleau palace, near Paris, from June 25 to September 25. The conservatory was founded especially for American students, and the attendance is limited to 120. The acceptance of an appli cation is considered a recognition of unusual ability. Miss Caples will spend the re mainder of the year touring Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Eng land, returning to America about January 1. While on the campus she was ac companist for the orchestra, a member of Mu Phi Epsilon, na tional women’s honorary music fraternity, and of Kappa Kappa Gamma. COMPANY TO PRESENT ‘HIS HOUSE IN ORDER’ “His House in Order,” by Sir Arthur Pinero, will be presented by the University company, May 15, 16 and 17, at Guild hall. A large and competent cast is work ing on the play now. A second wife, whose whole exis tence is shadowed by the memory of a first wife, is the central fig ure in this play. A skillfully sketched plot with a surprise at the end, t}ie whol,4; worked! out with great technical and dramatic finish, constitute this comedy drama of modern life. Those in the cast are: Patricia Byrne, Darrell Larsen, Dave Swan son, Beth Fariss, Gerda Brown, ; Clifford Zehrung, Terva Hubbard, Helga McGrew, Paul Krausse, Katherine Watson, Boyd Home wood, and Henry Sheldon. 35 NOMINA TED AT ASSEMBLY PLEASED IE RESULT Success of Student Union Surprises Whole State; Enthusiasm Manifested WORK IS STIMULATING State wide surprise over the suc cess of the Student Union drive has been expressed, according to Lamar Tooze, in charge of the (Portland headquarters of the Gift Campaign. Alumni everywhere are extremely gratified at the generous and enthusiastic response made by the students, he said. The most general expression ifrom persons interested in the campaign is one of great surprise, reports Mr. Tooze. Longer Time Expected Alumni and others indirectly coni nected with the University had no idea that the students would get so "hopped up” in so short a time. People had it generally figured out that several years would be re quired in which to gain the neces sary momentum to swing a success ful drive. Those connected with the alumni campaign have expressed the opin ion that the generous response made by the students will have a very perceptible effect upon the alumni. Upon learning that nearly every student has pledged $100 or more, the alumni quota will not appear large in comparison. When the alumni drive is opened simultaneously all over the United States, at the alumni dinners on May 9, the news of the student achievement will be read, thus reaching practically all alumni of the University. MATHEMATICS CLUB ELECTS NEW OFFICERS Members of the Mathematics club elected the following officers at a meeting held Wednesday night: President, Vera Hughes; vice-president, Sylvia Veateh; secretary, Leola Craig; treasurer, Poland Humphrey; historian, Dor othy Akin. Oscar Richards spoke on “The Use of Mathematics in Biology.” He showed that measurements of growth cannot be accurately cal culated without the use of differ ential equations. “Physiologists are greatly pro fiting, by the use of mathematics developed only in the last 10 years.” BISHOP SUMNER TO BE CAMPUS VISITOR SOON Bishop Walter Taylor Sumner, of the Episcopal church, will be on the campus May 8, 9 and 10, for his annual visit. Bishop Sumner will give the assembly address on May 8. Students who have heard the bishop on previous occasions remember him as an interesting speaker. Much of the time during his visit will be given over to confer ences with the students. The sche dule for his visit is at the office of the dean of women, and all wishing to see Bishop Sumner per sonally, should call at Dean Ester ly’s office for an appointment. SIGMA DELTA CHI TO PUT ON STUNT TODAY Six formal clad neophytes will entertain the campus starting at 10:50 today on the library steps. The young men, all doing pre-in itiation duty for Sigma Delta Chi, men’s professional journalism fra ternity, have prepared lectures on ; current topics for the enlighten ment of the University public. It is rumored that plug hats, i spats and all other recognized raiment will be used. Dark Horses Trotted Forth To Enter Race Triangle for A. S. U. Vice-president Becomes Four-cornered When Russell Gowans Enters Lists to Vie Against Brown, Metcalf and Sax By Arthur S. Rudd Being a political writer and an editor of a student newspaper at the same time isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Take Wednes day night, for instance. The campus went wild, politically, and this office was flooded with last-minute candidates and their backers until 10 o’clock—four hours after the dead-line which had been set, earlier in the week, for announcements to be in. The deadline was set to give us a chance to collect our material, and incidentally our wits—for excited campaign man agers are frightfully disconcerting—in order that the linotype man might have the “copy” by 10 o’clock. But what is one to do when earnest young politicians “have a man in mind who is to save good ol’ Oregon next year” and who insist that the campus know of its good fortune in possess ing such a savior by having it in the next morning’s Emerald.

POSITIONS President Randall Jones Clyde Zollars Editor of Emerald Don Woodward Vice-president Milton Brown Russell Gowans Hesden Metcalf Edward Sox Secretary Ruth Akers Mary Jane Hathaway Executive Council Senior Woman (one year) Julia Raymond Mary Skinner Junior Man (two year) Howard Hobson Rodney Keating Kenneth Stephenson Student Council Senior Men (three) Elam Amstutz Joe Ellis Bort Gooding Ed Miller Victor Risley Gordon Wilson Senior Women (two) Lucile Douglas Margaret McGowan Marie Myers Margaret Powers Martha Shull Laverna Spitzenberger Junior Men (two) Paul Ager Otto Mauthe Junior Woman (one) Mildred Bateman Mary Brandt Sophomore Man (one) Bud Christianson Lauren Conley Yell King Fred Martin ' Editor of Oregana Augusta DeWitt Frances Simpson I <> t SIDELIGHTS <> - - By Leon Byrne The circus is on! Nominations are in order. The nominating assembly was taken seriously by the candidates. The rest of us enjoyed listening to the attempted variations of—“He’s the only man—.” Yes, qualifications for office seek ers have changed since our day. Now it’s “ May the best peanut seller win.” If the gentleman who ad vanced his candidate’s ago as a talk ing point was thinking to establish a precedent, he reckoned without his female constituency. Should some of the young orators (Continued on page four) Writing something like twenty two copy pages of political newi, with the knowledge that every word will be read by candidates and their friends most critically, but worse yet, with a belligerent linotype man crying for copy and declaring that midnight is too late for any story to come in, is not the kind of a task that one would choose for every nice evening of the week. Tardiness Caused Errors The 22 pages got in finally, but by the time the story became type, it was too late for any corrections on the proof, and the result was soveral semi-pathetic mixups. One perfectly good sentence that was supposed to say, “The race for vice-presidency came into promin ence yesterday, too.” But instead it came out, “The rade for vice presidency came into prominenle yesterday too." Of course, thero wore also some omissions of quali fications, but fortunately, no names were actually left out—else m might not be able to write this story today. That would depend, of course, on the temper of the in jured office-seeker. But, after all, this yarn is sup posed to be about the darkhorss stampede in yesterday’s assembly, when 35 were nominated. A darkhorse nomination in assem bly, in the days when “Hunk” Latham wore a green cap, was a sensation, to say the least. Yet yesterday the sophisticated student body, the same student body that raised over $200,000 for a Student Union in four days of last week —and heuco ready for anything, sat and saw seven members of the political species, known as dark horses, trotted forth by proud young orators, who flaunted them quite shamelessly before the faces of the more correct politicians who had previously mudo their in tentions known through the col umns of this newspaper. The A. S. U. O. assemblage just sat and did n’t bat an eye. Their attitude was, “Well, what are a few darkhoraes between friends—bring ’em on.” New Candidates Out Of course, “Hobby” Hobson’s entrance had been discussed some what before and a great many folks had predicted that “Buss’* Gowans would run for the viee prosidency, but just the same, they surprised enough people so they have to be labelled “darkhorses.** This won’t keep them from run ning a good race, howover, for fickle-minded Oregon won’t re member a week from now who came in first or last or in the mid dle of things. A four-cornered race will be. in teresting—such a thing doesn't happen very often, especially in the caso of the vice-presidency, and “Milt,” “Russ,” “Hesden,” and (Continued on page three)
