VARSITY FACtS'
HARD SCHEDULE
%
Idaho Vandals and Cougar
Nine Will be Opposition
in Four-day Ball Series
OUTFIELD SHIFTS MADE
Bittner May be Changed to
Center, With Troutman
Taking Position at Short
The varsity ball tossers have
plenty of work scheduled for them
this week. Four tough games in
a row are on the boards for Rein
hart’s nine during fhe next few
days.
Coach Mathews’ Idaho Vandals
and the Washington State Cougars
are the opposition that the Lemon
Yellow bat wielders will endeavor
X*. to overcome during the four-day
session. The Vandals will be seen
in a two-game series, Wednesday
and Thursday. On Friday and
Saturday, W. S. C. will battle the
varsity, two games that should j
prove a worthy attraction to the
Junior week-end program. All of
the contests will be staged on the
Cemetery ridge sand lot.
Idaho Proves Strength
Both the Vandals and the Cou
gars are reputed to have strong
nines this year, and the games will
no doubt be hard-fought affairs. !
Idaho , in particular demonstrated
that she will be in the conference
race when the Vandals broke even
with Washington in a two-game j
series last weekend, losing the ;
first game by a two-run margin. ]
Previous to that, Idaho and W. S. j
C. broke even in two games against j
each other. The Cougars were i
shut out by Borleske’s Whitman
nine last Friday, but came back
and won the second game, Satur
day. Comparing these games with
% the varsity’s showing against
Whitman and Washington indi
cates that Reinhart’s men should
be at least an even match for both
of the visiting contingents this
week.
In spite of the disastrous out
come of the two recent games with
the Aggies, the varsity is still a
contender for conference honors.
The forthcoming contests will de
termine in a large measure Ore
gon ’s future standing in the
Northwest college circuit. The
Lemon-Yellow has already dropped
three games, but, on the other
hand, every other nine in the con
ference has lost at least two games,
except the Aggies. Coleman’s crew
have suffered but one defeat, that
by the Huskies:,?'If Coach Reinhart !
can bolster up his defense during
the next week or so, the varsity
will give any of the nines a good
run for their money.
Pitching Staff Weak
Oregon stood a mighty good ;
chance of beating the Aggies in'
the second game if her fielding
had been up to the standard put j
up by their opponents. The varsity i
stickers smashed out 11 hits, only
two less, than the victorious
Beavers, and would have had
If more if the Aggie fielders had not
performed in big league fashion at ,
times. On the other hand, the
Lemon-Yellow defense cracked i
badly when good support was
necessary. As far as pitching goes,
the varsity is not blessed with ‘
any plienoms this year, but Saus- .
ser, Pil, Latham, and Williams
have been hurling fair ball so far,
fair enough to rate more victories
considering the hitting the team
has been doing.
The outfield in particular has
been causing Coach Reinhart a
good deal of worry. None of the
gardeners have been playing up to i
fheir past standard, and Reinhart
has tried out several combinations
in an effort to get a strong fly
chasing crew. In last night’s prac
tice, Bittner was shifted from
. shortstop to center field, Sorsby j
moved to left, and Terril placed in ;
right. This appears to be the best
combination yet tried, as Bittner
has a mighty strong arm and is
usually death on fly balls. Sorsby
and Terril are both nifty fielders,
but are short on throwing arms.
Short Is Problem
In ease Bittner remains in the
outfield, there is a big hole to fill

Twenty Prizes Given
For Forensics Work
Twenty students of the University I
of Oregon received awards this year
for work in forensics, eight men and
eight women in debate, three men in
oratory, and the forensic manager. ;
Menbers of the men’s varsity debate
team who were awarded letters are:
Walter Malcom, Joe Fraser, Marion
Dickey, Ralph Bailey, Ernest Hen

I Woodson, Mildred Whitcomb, Lur
jline Coulter, Mary Raker, Marjorie
Brown and Helen Louise Crosby.
In oratory, Ephraim D. Conway,
who represented the University of

contest, and Ted Baker, who was
Oregon’s contestant in the Peace
conference, have won letters, and
Claude Robinson, varsity debater of i
one year’s experience, will receive his
award 4)y representing the University

May 22.
j Elam Amstutz has won his letter
through his work as forensic manager •
this year.
Of the varsity debaters among the
men, Bailey stands out as a three
year man on the team and one who
will win a shield, one of the highest
honors a man can receive in forensics,
and the result of service for three
years in one special activity. Ernest
Henriksen, who has been on the team
for two years, represented the Uni
versity in oratory in his freshman
year. Marion Dickey had experience
at Reed college before coming -to
Oregon.
Lurline Coulter, among the women,
has debated in the varsity team for

Message Sent from K G W
Will Arouse Enthusiasm
in Oregon Gift Campaign
QUARTET OFFERS MUSIC
The greater portion of the Uni
versity of Oregon alumni will ex
perience a May homecoming when
they listen in on a University of
Oregon radio program, to be broad
casted Thursday night from sta
tion K G W (Portland Oregonian)
in the interests of the alumni en
dowment campaign. Several cam
pus speakers and musicians are
scheduled to help focus the atten
tion of the alumni on the now im
minent alumni drive.
This radio program, which has
been made known to all alumni
through mail notices, is the appe
tizer, as it were, for the numerous
alumni banquets the next evening,
Friday, May 9, marking the incep
tion of the drive among alumni for
their $1,000,000 quota.
Campaign to be Explained
The various phases of the cam
paign will be made clear by jvel!
known speakers. Rev. W. S. Gil
bert, a member of the Gift Cam
paign committee, was a well-known
chaplain, holding the rank of
major, in the recent war, and is
well qualified to present the case
for the proposed Memorial court,
one of the alumni aims. President
Campbell or some representative
will ^explain the reasons for the
Gift Campaign.
Students Furnish Music
Music will be provided by Uni
versity students. A quartdt com
posed of Aubrey Furry, Henry
Karpenstein, Roy Bryson and
"Richard Adams are to furnish the
greater share of the music. Frances
Pierce will play a piano solo, and
Furrey and Bryson will each
contribute vocal solos. The quar
tet will also sing at the Portland
Alumni banquet on Friday, when
800 people are expected to attend
the campaign send-off in Multno
mah hotel.
DEAN HALE RETURNS
FROM LECTURE TOUR
William G. Hale, dean of the
school of law, has just returned
from an eastern Oregon trip, where
he has been lecturing on problems
of higher education. In Hood River
he spoke before the Tuesday
Luncheon club, an organization
similar to commercial clubs, and
in The Dalles a talk was given be
fore the Kiwanis club members.
The latter part of the week,
when the other representatives of
the University leave to speak at
endowment dinners, Dean Hale
will again resume his work of lec
turning over the state. He is tenta
tively scheduled to attend a meet
iny in Seattle soon.
Recent Print Purchases to be
on Exhibition, Starting Today
An exhibition of the recent print
purchases for the school of architec
ture and allied arts ns to be seen in
ginning today in the gallery in tht
Arts building, and will remain on
the walls until May 24. The colie
tion was made possible by the Oer
linger art fund, which Mrs. George
T. Gerlinger, member of the board of j
regents, made by lectures in Portland :
following the fire that destroyed th j
old art building.
Eighteen productions of etchings I
and drawings by Frank Brangwyn, 1
greatest English mural painter of the
century, have been hung.
Reproductions of William WaleotV!
“Roman Compositions” u^ll be of
interest not only to students of a>-t-!
but of history as well. They are not !
the fantastic dreams which they at '
first seem, but are a real portrayal
»f buildings, based on “a solid and
profound knowledge of architecture,''
and give a study of ancient Roman
life at its height. Temples and
arenas, multitudes watching death in
many forms, and the pageantry of a
dead civilization is depicted. A dozen
of these are on display, though the
school owns others which have
been hung.
Prints, etchings, wood engravings,
wood cuts, wood blocks, aquatints,
colored etchings, colored lithographs,
a few fine old Japanese prints—these
give variety to the exhibition, and
offer a background for student work.

together,” said Miss Maude Kerns,

L1GHTSSECURED
FOR CANOE FETE
System of Footlights and
Spots Gives Each Group
Choice of Color Scheme
MUSIC TO BE FEATURE
I
Committee Requests That
Race be Clear of Debris
in Demolishing Floats
Due to the fact that the canoe
fete committee for Junior week
end has secured two theater spot
lights, each house may have the
choice of the color to be flashed
upon its float. The magic lantern
style of lighting, which has been
employed during previous canoe
fetes, did not give the float its
full color effect. This year a
system of footlights and the two
large spots have been secured so
that the best possible effect may
be given.
In order to take advantage of
this, it is absolutely essential that
all houses turn in to Rupert Bulli
vant or to Hesden Metcalf, the
coljor desired for their fljoat by
Thursday night of this week. Met
(<alf may be reached by calling
721.
Ticket Sale This Week
Tickets for the fete will be sold
all this week at the Co-op store
and at Kuykendall's, down town.
Bert Gooding is in charge of the
ticket sale. Tickets are being sold
at 25 cents general admission, and
50 cents for reserved seats. A
block of reserved seats will be
marked off, but extra bleachers
will be provided so that there will
be ample room for all.
“All houses must have their
floats in the water and ready to
start, by 8:30 sharp on Friday
night,” declares Hesden Metcalf.
Numbers for the floats will be
given out by Bullivant this week.
It is absolutely necessary, in order
to enter the fete, that the canoe
be ready on time, the committee
heads state.
It is requested that all houses, in
demolishing the floats after the
canoe frfte, keep the race clear of
rubbish. The materials should be
carried away and destroyed, becauso
in floating downstream they be
come entangled in the mill wheels
and choke them.
Musical Feature Arranged
“Greater effort is being put
forth for a successful canoe fete
this year than ever before, |and
more money is being spent on
lighting effects,” Metcalf states.
A musical feature has been ar
ranged to tako place before and
during the carnival. One of the
popular campus orchestras will be
stationed on a float across the race
from the bleachers and is scheduled
to play for an hour and a half
preceding the fete and at intervals
between floats.
Programs are being printed,
bearing the list of floats and
houses who prepare them. These
will be given out the night of the
canoe fete, Friday, May 9.
Friday, May 9,
to be Holiday
For University
Friday, May 9, will be a holiday j
for the entire University, it was an j
nounced by the president’s office.)
This is University day, a part of j
.Junior Week-end, and is a holiday
that has come down from years back.
University day, said Karl Onthank,
secretary to President Campbell, was
formerly a time of bitter class riv
alry and fights—a time when the
students used to tear up the cam
pus. This idea was changed to the
opposite phase, to that of constructive
work around the campus.
On former University days, walks
have been made, the campus cleaned
up and other work accomplished. At
one time when the University Was not
very prosperous the students used to
paint some of the buildings. Lately j
the University has been able to have
all campus clean up work done with
out the aid of the students and the
day has become one of a University \
get-together.
Candidates Announce
Platforms for Election
(Editor's Note — Space was
offered by the Emerald to candi
dates for the presidency and vice
presidency for the purpose of al
lowing statements of platforms.
Candidates were instructed to
sign their communications and to
keep them under a 250-word limit.)
FOR PRESIDENT
As long as the present students
can remember, there has not been
democracy and equal Opportunity
in the student administration. De
spite the high qualifications that
many student body presidents have
had, they have been so handicapped
by political machines, pre-election
promises, and secret political alli
ances, that they were not free to
pursue a course of action which
they might have better followed.
Because I am opposed to such
cut and drie4 tactics, I am a can
didate who has not entered into
any agreement for exchanging
votes or any political alliances, nor
will I do so; and if elected, the
only promises I will make are in
this public platform; and because
of an entire absence of secret nego
tiations, I will be absolutely free
to carry out this platform, and
pledge myself to work to the end
that the University of Oregon may
soon have a student body of men
and women rather than organiza
tions founded upon principles of
equal representation. If elected, I
will abide by the .following points:
1. To promote to the fullest ex
tent the University Gift Campaign.
2. To work to restore Oregon’s
former athletic prestige.
3. To maintain a fairminded at
titude on all questions and to en
courage suggestions from all stu
dents in matters of student admin
istration.
4. To utilize to the fullest ex
tent the abilities of worthwhile
students, regardless of his or her
affiliations.
5. To keep students constantly
informed concerning the working
out of their problems on the part
of the administration.
RANDALL S. JONES.
1. If elected, I will do all in my
power to handle the problems of
administration justly and fairly
with a firm determination to disre
gard the influence of cliques or
.other factions.
2. I will endeavor to represent
all of the student body in its
relations with the faculty, the ad
ministration and other universities
and to work fairly for the rights of
the student body and for a greater
Oregon.
3. I will put forth every effort
to uphold Oregon traditions and
the “hello” spirit in the face of
growing campus numbers.
4. I will strive to promote for
ensics, music, and other legitimate
activities.
5. I will do everything in my
power to make Oregon victorious
on the athletic field.

Unwonted Calm Noted, But
Leaders Expect Things
to be Livelier Today
CARTER GETTING READY
Election Details in Hands
of Vice-president; Some
Managers Busy in Dark
By Arthur S. Rudd
These are restless days for cam
pus candidates. It’s hard lines to
figure out just how much to ap
pear; on the cafpus or just how
much cordiality to put into one’s
“hollo.” It’s hard lines, too, to sit
up until two o’clock while some
young campaign manager reels off
the list of one's opponents.
Yes, it’s hard lines, all right;
but it’ll all be over Wednesday
night. Then look what the suc
cessful ones will get—a chance to
serve old Oregon by attending a
few dozen meetings a week. May
hap they will get a chance at a
good coaching situation row, and
at least their pictures will go in
the Oregana and perhaps the Port
land papers as being “campuB load
ers.”
Lull Follows Nominations
When their year’s over, they
will all be pretty sure they had
the chance to serve, but they will
all swear that they “wouldn’t do
it again on a bet.” At least that’s
what some who have been through
the mill predict.
But that’s getting into the fu
ture, and right now elections are
tho correct theme. The campus saw
quit® a political flare last Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday.
Then things quieted down—“the
lull before the storm,” declare
political enthusiasts—but we are a
little inclined to say that there is
not enough real interest in the
election to keep interest at high
pitch for any length of time.
Today will probably see a revival
of interest, and tonight many
lights will shine from behind drawn
window shades, where amateur
“politicals” will be in progress.
Carter Chooses Board
Frank Carter, vice-president of
the student body, is in charge of
printing the ballots and of choos
ing the election board. His an
nouncement says that the polls
will open Wednesday morning at
•9 and will close at 3 in the after
noon. A large group of upper
classmen will handle tho balloting
and if the vote is as heavy as last
year the final count will probably
not be announced^ until midnight
or after.
It looks as if there are going
to be a number of races that will
have to wait for the final count
before they are decided. We
wouldn’t bet a nickle on the vice
presidential race or on the run for
secretaryship. These two races, in
addition to the battle for the presi
dency and the Oregana contest, are
consuming most of the student in
terest. Council position contests
are not rating even their usnal
gallery.
Campaign Managers Busy
We have to smile a little at Borne
of the self-appointed campaign
managers. Even the council candi
dates have them, and they are a
lot more concerned about the elec
tion than are the candidates them
selves. People who earlier in the
month they would have character
ized as “good Joes” they malign
quite freely. To hear them talk,
one would think that the Oregon
campus is a nest of corruption.
It has always been a source of
wonder to this writer why open
political discussion has always been
banned. Students who have a
friend in the race seem to think
it would be a breach of morals to
come outopenly and squarely in his
favor. Instead there is much
whispering and plenty of the atti
tude of, "Well, now- we can talk—
we are all among friends.” Such
an attitude necessarily creates an
unsavory situation. Even legiti
mate discussions are labelled
“dirty politics” by the political
enemies of those who do the talk
ing.
Perhaps in years to come the
campus will stage its political cam
