PADDOCK MAY RACE AT OLYMPIC TRYOUTS An invitation has been extended to Charles Paddock, the world’s fastest human, through Graduate Manager Benefiel, to run an exhibition race at the Olympic tryouts to be held here May 31. Paddock has been forced to forego racing for the past few weeks because of a torn muscle in his leg; but believes he will be back in form before time for the tryouts. He won the 100 yard dash at the Olym pics held at Antwerp in 1920. Plans are under way to secure two fast men to' pace him in this race; Vic Hurley, former University of Washington star, now under the Mult nomah club colors, and Hank Foster, unattached. Paddock holds a record of 9 and 3-5 seconds in the 100 and •20 and 8-10 in the 220 yard dash. t Synonym Contest for Term, Pigger, to Close Thursday Are all the students and faculty of the University so flush that a prize of $5 does not appeal to them? That is the question con sidered by the group of journal ism students who recently offered this amount to the member of the University who turned in the best * substitute for the word “pigger.” This term is frowned on for publication in the daily and some other designation is desired to ap ply to the man who “dates out.” So far but one suggestion has been turned in to the manageing editor. Thursday evening is the last date before closing of the contest. Judges will be a representative student and faculty committee. Award will be printed in the Sun day Emerald, May 18. CHflRLESlVBOlURY ASSEMBLY SPEAKER ‘Emerson and His Friends' Will be Subject Charles J. Woodbury, last of the Concord group, of which Emerson was the greatest, will be the speaker at next Thursday’s assem bly to be held in Villard hall. The subject that he will speak on will be “Emerson and His Friends.” Mr. Woodbury has an intimate knowledge of this subjectvnot only because he was a member of the group around Emerson, but also because he was private secretary to Emerson for some years. This same address was given by Mr. Woodbury at an assembly dur ing the summer session at the Uni versity last year. Mr. Woodbury, though quite advanced in years, is still a forceful and pleasing speaker. He has a fund of remin iscences of Emerson and a wealth of material about him. Mr. Woodbury has been on the campus at other times than last year and was well received as a speaker. He has made lecture tours all over the United States, speaking about Emerson and the Concord group of writers. The music and the person who will give the invocation will be announced later.

ALUMNI RESPOND TODRIVE APPEAL National Reports Indicate Graduates Are United in Support of the Campaign QUOTAS ARE PROMISED Faculty Banquet Speakers Well Received at Group Meetings Called on May 9 Reports from all sections of the West indicate that the alumni phase of the Gift Campaign is getting well under way.. Thirteen alumni were present at the dinner May 9 in Baker, Oregon, at which Dr. Edmund S. Conklin was the representative from the University. “There were many others who live in outlying districts,” Conklin said, “so that the section was not complete ly represented. Another reason why there were not more present was be cause of other affairs scheduled at that time. Baker Alumni Loyal Professor Conklin said yesterday that that section would do well with the campaign. “They are well or ganized people and they showed a marked spirit of loyalty to the Uni versity and to President Campbell. They will raise a good deal of money. “They treated me like an old grad,” he continued, “and asked me all about former members of the faculty and customs.” “1 found the Oregon City people, said Dean John Borarti, ’who lad dressed the former students at the alumni dinner there, “most interested in the fact that the University is against a hard proposition and that the gift campaign is the only way of pulling up. Others have done it and we can, appears to be their idea. They think that the tax is not exces sive and that they can raise the nec essary quota.” Dinner Is Held (Thirty people attended the dinner. Many alumni residing in that district live nearer Portland than Oregon City, and attended the Portland meeting. “I met a very enthusiastic group of Oregon people at Cottage Grove,” said Alfred H. Powers who was Ore gon’s delegate there in the interests of the alumni for 1,000,000. “We had a dinner with 17 Oregon people pres ent, and they were very appreciative of the needs of the University and made statements of its building needs.” The younger alumni were from the classes between ’13 and ’21 and the older alumni were mostly from the classes of ’85 to '00. “With 10 at the dinner at Newport we had a high percentage of attend ance of alumni,” said Dan E. Clark, who was sent there by the University. “The attitude expressed at the din ner was enthusiasm. Everyone pres ent was back of the campaign and 1 haven’t a doubt but they will come through well. Only one present had been a student within the last 10 years and many have children who will be here soon.” Sheldon Speaks at Astoria “We had a very successful and a very enthusiastic meeting with 60 at the dinner at Astoria,” said Dr. H. D. Sheldon who attended the meeting (Continued on page four) Diplomas of Honor Awarded Paintings of Art Professors I | Diplomas of honor have been 1 awarded to both Alfred H.

Hafen, father of Professor Hafen. The latteY canvas was purchased for the col lection, as was “Sunlit Glades,” painted by John F. Carlson, New York landscape painter, whose snow scenes recently aroused so much interest in the University of Ore gon gallery in the Arts building. The first, prize this year ,-was awarded “The Land of the Morn ing,” bv Hansen Duval! Puthuff, one of the founders of the Art Institute league of Los Angeles, California. Over 20,000 persons viewed the 158 paintings which came from all over the United States.

UNIVERSITY HIGH TEAM MEETS FIRST DEFEAT The University high school base team team met their first defeat of the season at the hands of Corvallis high at Corvallis Saturday. The score was 13 to 11. Burton pitched a good game for University high until the sixth inning. The score at that time was 9 to 0 in favor of University high, but the Corvallis stick men found Burton and made 13 runs before Ridings was switched from catcher into the box in the eighth inning. He held the Corvallis men for the next two in nings but the University high was unable to overcome the lfcad that ! Corvalli* had gained. STUDENTS FIND JUNIOR WEEK-END ENJOYABLE The first prepperless Junior Week-end in the history of Oregon University has passed, and varied and many are the remarks made concerning its success and recep tion. The general concensus of opinion is in favor of a weekend for campus pleasure alone, without the responsibility of guests and the extra work that goes with them. Among representative and promi nent women on the campus, those asked for their opinions were, in the majority, in favor of the pres ent system and considered it better than the former weekends. Some of these opinions were modified, however. Georgiana Gerlinger, while thinking it a good plan, felt that, as long as there were no guests and the affair was for the campus alone, there should be less work and expense put on the *a> Junior Prom, and everything should not be so formal. Dorothy McKee, ex-president of the Women’s Athletic association, said that she had been wondering whether the school would reeeive sufficient advertising among the high school students if there were no guests on this occasion. She expressed the thought that the amount of work and expense put on the canoe fete seemed futile without the guests. Other women who expressed their opinions on this subject were Mary Cleric., newly elected vice-president of the Women’s league; Margaret Morrison, editor of the Sunday Emerald; Mary Skinner, winner of the Gerlingor cup; and Maude Shroedor, newly elocted president (Continued on page three) HENDRICKS HULL WINS BASEBALL LEADERSHIP Class Tryouts Scheduled for This Afternoon Doughnut baseball for women ended yesterday when Hendricks hall won the championship in the finals between the leagues by' de feating Susan Campbell hall.

Taylor of Forest Grove, Oregon, a senior in the Uni versity of Oregon law school, was recently awarded a $1000 scholar ship to New York University for the purpose of studying diplomacy in international affairs. Taylor is one of four men who were suc cessful applicants for the scholar ship which is given under the will of the late Frederick Courtland Penfieid, abassador to Austria, who left a fund of $80,000 for the purpose. Scholarship arid general fitness are taken into consideration in making the award which is open to students in any standard uni versity or college in the United States. Taylor is a nephew of Dean H. Wellington Taylor of the Oraduate School of Buainess ad ministration at Now York Uni versity. He was one of the first Americans to be sent overseas dur ing the war. DEAN STRAUB RECALLS PIONEERS’ DONATIONS In a Gift Campaign pamphlet is sued recently, Dean Straub recalls that in the early days of the Uni versity, when there was no money to pay the workmen on one of the new buildings, a friend went into the country and solicited donations. He came back with a load of hay, a cord of wood and a cow. These were the gifts of farmers who wanted to help build the Uni versity of Oregon. Sacrificial giv ing was the order of the day in those times of early struggle. Even the school children of Lane county gave their nickels and pennies to the amount of $2,000 to put win dows in Deady hall. The pamphiet stresses the fact to the alumni that they, who have received so much from the Univer sity, should now be willing to fol low in the footsteps of those who gave so freely and received in re turn nothing but the satisfaction of giving. YEARLING THICK TEAM IS STRONG Portland Contests Prove Potential Strength of First Year Aggregation ROOK MEET IS MAY 24 Two Weeks of Training Left; Flannigan Jumps Over 22 Feet in Meet Last Friday Winning two meeta in two day* from the combined track and field. team8 of the high schools and Col umbia university of Portland has earned his first year men a period of recuperation, said Coach Hay ward yesterday. Consequently, the day’s training consisted princi pally of “playing around” and listening to warnings of the eoach to the fact that there are only two weeks left to “point” themselves for the meet with the rooks. The Portland trip has demon strated that this year’8 crew of green-capped track athletes has more potential strength than any squad of first year men that has been on the campus since the “good old days” when it was a disgrace for Oregon to lose a track meet. If the “Gods of Scholarship and Finance” can be sufficiently ap peased to insure the return of these men next year—Oregon should have a track team which might give any aggregation real compe tition. Sprinters Show Promise In the sprints, Westerman, Holt, Extra, and Stonebreaker form a. crew of speed artists that not only gave a good account of themselves in the meets last weekend, but are young, and under the coaehimg of Bill Hayward, have a future. Heinie Hall won both his raees is the high hurdles—and seems to have gotten over the habit of kick ing over the sticks which disquali fied him in some of the early sea son moots. In the low hurdles, both Bodda and Clark placed against fast men in the last meeta Bodda won his race the first day. Flannigan jumped 22 feet and 2 inches to win the broad jump Fri day; and Egtvet won a first is. the varsity dual meet here Satur day by jumping 21 feet 1% inches. Cash won his race Friday in the 440; and in the races Satur day, Wilbur and Jeffries took s first and second in a time only slightly less than the varsity me* are running it in. Swank took a second in the 880. Johnston Wins Weights Tiny Johnston was the premier performer in the weight heaving contests, winning both the shot and the discus both days; and Hem ming and Kjelland are green me* who are developing this year. Simonton is tho freshman main stay in the javelin throwing event. Oregon has been weak in tho distances since the loss of Gle* Walkley; but with the advent of Conley and Barnes, two boys who hail from sunny California, Lemon Yellow stock in these races is ris ing. Though neither won their event Friday or Saturday, they were up against good men, and need another period of seasoning in the Oregon climate before they will be able to put out their best. With two weeks for conditioning and further training, this team should give the first year O. A. C. men a real battle when they meet May 24. JOURNALISM STUDENTS TO EDIT SEATTLE STAR University of Washington—T|ie Seattle Star on May 17 will be the handiwork of the students of jour nalism of the University. The twenty or twenty-five members of tlie staff will bo selected from volunteers. All journalism students will fill the positions. Editorial class members will write the edi torials. Leon Starmonf, now editor of the Spokane Press, was editor of the Star in 1921 when University Btudents were first given a ehanee to demonstrate their ability, and this will be the third time that the Star has come out under student I journalistic hands.
