VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 1924 NUMBER 153 CAMPUS ELECTS TODAY 1 VftRSITY MEETS Both Nines Have Lost Three Conference Games; Dope Indicates an Even Break SAUSSER TO START GAME Reinhart to Work Original Combination of Latham, Ross, Bittner and Hobson University of Idaho’s hopes in the conference baseball race will be the attraction at the campus gandlot today. Coach Bob, Mathew’s Vandals will clash with the var sity tossers in the first of a two game series this afternoon at 4 o ’clock. The Vandals are touted as a strong contender for championship honors this year, and will no doubt put up a nifty brand of ball against Reinhart's proteges. Up to last night, the Idaho contingent had lost three conference games, one apiece to W. S. C., Washington, and O. A. C. Since the varsity, like wise, are credited with three losses, the two nines appear to be evenly matched, and fans can expect nip and tuck affairs in both contests. Idahoans Low Scorerra Matthew’s crew may be said to have the edge on the Lemon-Yellow by virtue of their defeating Washington, but the varsity games with the Huskies were so close that there is little to be gleaned from k this comparison. Idaho’s scores this year have nearly all been in one figure, whereas the varsity games have all been slugfests end ing with both teams around the dozen mark in the score column. This would seem to indicate that the Moscow aggregation are none too long in the hitting branch of the national p'astime. On the other, hand, they appear to have an ex cellent corps of moundsmen. But as far as the dope goes, it looks like a tossup. Fielders Drill Hard Coach Reinhart hopes to put his strongest combination against the visitors today. Profiting from the Aggie game, he has been drilling his fielders hard during the past two days, and if intensive prac tice produces any. results, the var sity should get by with fewer er rors this afternoon. The original infield quartet of Hunk Latham at first, Captain Ross at second, Bitt ner at short, and Hobson at third, will start the fray. , Bill Sorsby will occupy his usual position in midfield, while Terril will cavort in right. The left garden choice lies between King, Wright, and Cook. Tim Sausser will likely start in the box, although Reinhart ^ may decide to use one of the others, Brooks, Williams, Pil, or Ringle. Vote Today (AN EDITORIAL) The first duty of every good citizen is to* vote. This applies to campus citizens as well as to* citizens of county, state or nation. . There is always a large element in every citizen group who wail that they are not represented. The way to have your say in government, whether it be national or student, is to vote. Vote for the candidate who, in your opinion, will fill the most ably the position he or she is seeking. Vote for the candidate who is best grounded in campus experience and who, therefore, knows Oregon. Vote for level-headedness, not good looks or skill at dancing. Vote regardless of fraternal affiliations. Most students will disregard this advice. There will be a fewr thinkers who will even vote against a fraternity brother or sister if they think the other candidate is better qualified for. the position. Vote as though your vote were the deciding one. Only careful thought on the part of voters can ever accomplish civic good. Vote for those candidates who, you believe, have minds of their own and will not be browbeaten. Vote for those candidates who are not likely to be in fluenced by pre-election friendships and favors. Candidates who win through pull alone are not able to give the A. S. U. 0. efficient service. Vote yourself and see that your friends vote. A large per cent of students at the polls means that a large per cent will be represented in student government. Indicate your choice for all positions, even in cases where there is no opposition. BISHOP SUMNER TO BE ASSEMBLY SPEAKER 'Integrity of Family Life’ Is Topic Chosen i “The Integrity of Family Life” is the subject that Bishop Walter T. Sumner has chosen for his as sembly topic next Thursday. This will be the 10th annual visit of the bishop to the Oregon campus. Bishop Sumner is said to be a very forceful and interesting speaker, well able to hold the at tention of his audience. He has been the speaker at various occa sions throughout the state.

It has been the work of Ed Bohlman to recreate 1he hey-dey of Babylonian luxury and pomp in the Junior Prom, from which he has designed and carried out the entire decorative scheme. Tall and massive towers, palm and cvprus trees, nodding in the breezes of a tropic night, are only a part of the rich variety of suggestive decora tions which will go to prduce the opu lent atmosphere of that ancient civil ization. The most famous of the Babylonian deities was Ishtar, goddess of night and love. A colorful legend of this goddess will be the basis of the elab orate feature, it is said. A special orchestra has been provided to play the incidental music for the feature. The orchestra is directed and super vised by Phoebe Louise Wright. The costume of Ishtar has been ex ecuted by Penelope Gehr. It repre sents many hours of work and the de- ] sign is declared to be striking to the last degree. No small detail has been spared to secure an exact effect. Other costumes for the special number have been done by Josephine Ulrich and ellie Rowland. Dick Caruthers has charge of the properties for the fea ture. The Mid-nite Sons are working on special orchestral effects to coincide with the Babylonian atmosphere. Since the Babylonians were a war like : people their music contained many (Continued on page three) t--<»> ELECTION INSTRUCTIONS Every member of the Asso ciated Students should go to the polls at Villard hall today and vote.

The decorations are well under way, Mary Hatha way, chairman, reports, and tho only thing which is now required is to put them up. For this the aid of the entire class will be necessary, and every man and woman will be ifeeded at the hours specified. Tickets for the prom are now on sale at the Co-op and at all the men’s living organizations. Tho price for the prom will be $1.00 per couple. Tuxedos are in order at the dance if desired, however, since there are no guests, this will be optional. The freshmen, of course, have no choice. Campus traditions forbid the wearing of tuxedos to the babes. The orchestra for the dance has been increased from 8 to 10 pieces. This will make considerable dif ference in the quality of syncopa tion to be poured forth for the waiting dancers. The Babylonian scheme of decoration has been pre served throughout, Mary Hathaway states. The feature is to be entirely dif ferent and in keeping with (the Babylonian decorative scheme. Food will be served in Babylonian style by girls in unique costumes. Even the punch is to be Babylonian in character. The programs are de clared very clever and in key with the general scheme. They are highly colorful and elaborate. A meeting of the entire Junior prom committee will ■ be held to night at 5 at the Journalism building. This will be the last meeting of the committee and the chairman declares it very impor tant that all members be there and bring any bills which they may have. PORTLAND SESSION HAS LITERATURE COURSES Several English and literature courses will be offered in the Port land division of summer school, which will be held June 23 to August 1.

Late reports brought the total to $56,563 and indications are that the $60,000 mark will be ap proached when faculty members now absent, have returned to the campus. , News of this, second and unan nounced endowment drive came as a surprise to the student body. The faculty completed their achieve ment quietly and unknown to any one not directly connected with the canvas. Response Is Generous The response on the part of all faculty members and employees was extremely generous, according to Ur. James H. Gilbert, chairman of a special committee in charge of the solicitation. Subscriptions ■ wore made on a practically volun j tary basis with each person giving as much as seemed reasonable in ■ his particular case. 200 Make Coritribution In all, around 200 persons made j contributions ranging from a $5,000 | donation by- President Campbell to a $2,000 sum from the University j janitors and halls of residence help i and cooks. The janitors gave i $1,395, and the cooks, most of whom are women assisting in the t support of others, gave $670. “The whole thing,” said Ur. Gilbert, “was done on a voluntary basis. Solicitation was accomp lished through a large faculty com mittee who completed the task in I the course of one day. The response i of the University employees was particularly gratifying.” The funds subscribed are to be used in the purchase of graduate study facilities in connection with the new library. Drive Still on Campus The drive as yet has been con fined to campus and extension division faculty members and does not include the Portland Medical school, which is to consider its part in the campaign at a later date. The chairman of the general committee was Dr. H. I). Sheldon. Acting under him was a special committee including Ur. Gilbert, Prof. O. F. Stafford, E. S. Tuttle, of the administration offices, Dr. ! Dan E. Clark and Prof. G. F. Turn i bull CASES OF HAY FEVER TREATED BY MISS COX Eight students have been to the health service for hay-fever treat t ments this year, according to Miss Lenore M. Cox, who has been giv ing the treatments. Last year there were about eleven cases reported for treatment with about fifty per cent entirely successful. Only one treatment is finished, Miss Cox reports, and it is too ; early in the year to be able to tell what the results will be. Most caseB are reported for treatment after the symptoms appear, so it is probable that there will be a number of cases reported yet this | year. I | NOMINEES ARE LISTED FOR A. S. U. O.

DEAN ESTERLY TO TALK TO OREGON CITY GIRLS “Self culture” is the topic upon which Dean Virginia Judy Esterly will address the Girls’ league, an or ganization for girls, recently formed in the Oregon City high school. Dean Esterly will leave the campus on Wed nesday, May 14, and will return di rectly. In a letter which Dean Esterly re ceived from R. W. Kirk, city super intendent if schools in Oregon City, the latter explained the helpfulness I to the girls that such a talk as Ore gon ’s dean of women might deliver, would be to the new organization. | Among the phases of “Self Cul ture which will be touched upon in the address will be: What an edu cation means to me; self respect; self rontrol; self reliance; and pleasure. This in the second of a series of talks which the Girls’ league of that city liave planned.

DOPESTERS FAIL Organizations’ Votes Widely Split; No Race Certain as Competition Is Keen ALL ASKED TO BALLOT For First Time in History One Man Seeks Place of Emerald Editorship By Arthur S. Rudd Today’s the day. Political history is about to be made. From 9 to 3, Yillard hall will be the scene of the great an nual voting jamboree, the results of which, according to over-zealous campaigners, will shake the cam pus to its very roots. A month from today not half the campus could name the mem bers of the newly-elected student council, and two yearB from today not more than a handful of stu dents on the campus will be able to tell who wad elected student body president today. Yet it was ever thus, the annual excitement is bound to be, so let’s enjoy it while it’s here. It would be a hard task to write predictions on today’s results. There is hardly a race, except pos sibly in one of the council posi tions, where wo would oven dare officially venture a hazard. Close Contests Seen Even the most enthusiastic sup porters of candidates are not mak ing any predictions, for thore has been a sort of balance of power set up on the campus in the last few days that seems to indicate that practically every contest will be close. Organization votes have been split more widely than ever before. There are no political complexes that baffle the oldest dopesters. A sensational platform or two came out yesterday. No one would venture to say what their publica tion did to the situation. There are complexes and phases of the Oregana and secretary’s race that defy solution. The result of the mixup is that no one is sure of anything. The situation as it stands, lias made it seem to many that it does little good to work. Few students are swung by last-minute arguments. Number Same for 3 Yean A most interesting coincident has come to light from Emer ald files. For the last three years ; there have been 115 candidates in : each year's race. Last year several i offices were practically uncontest ! ed that are being raced for today. This is the first year in history i that only one candidate has run 1 for the editorship of tlie Emerald. | The increasing number of women | on the Emerald staff has crowded ! out many men—-for the women are ! doing good work and in many cases ■ have beaten men out for Emerald ; positions. Perhaps sometime dur ing the next few years, a woman ; editor will run and be elected. Claude Robinson, student body ' president, and the other student 1 body officers are especially anxi . ous that everyone registered in the University vote. About 400 students must vote ag hour if the 2,000 or more students on the cam pus all voice their sentiment through the ballot. Political Meetings Held A number of unofficial meetings were held on the campus last night (Continued on page two)
