to mills
Noted Speaker to Lecture
Here This Weekend
FIVE TALKS SCHEDULED
Former Mayor Said to be
Forceful Speaker
J. Stitt Wilson, who is char
acterized as “probably having as
large a hearing among college
students as any man in America
today,” will again visit the Oregon
campus this weekend for a series
of five lectures on “Constructive
Christian Democracy,” under the
auspices of the United Christian
Workers of the University. Mr.
Wilson wbb on the campus a year
and a half ago, when he addressed
the students at* one of their regu
lar assemblies.
Speaker Arrives Thursday
Mr. Wilson will give an address
on "War and Democracy” Thurs
day evening at 7:30 in Villard
hall, and he will be the principal
speaker at the Sunday vesper ser
vices, also to be held at Villard
at 4 o’clock. Friday noon he is to
be the guest at a luncheon at
tended by the combirfed cabinets of
the Y. M. C. A. and the Y.
W. C. A., in the “Y” lint, and
later he will be a guest at a facul
ty luncheon.
Sunday morning at 9:30, the
University Bible classes, which
have been meeting during the year
at the various churches, will stage
a rally at the “Y” hut, where they
will be addressed by Mr. Wilson.
"The United Christian forces of
the University,” said Rev. Henry
Wilson Davis, campus Y. M. C. A.
■ecretary, “are making an effort
to bring the hearing of J. Stitt
Wilson within the reach of every
student on the campus.”
Mr. Wilson, formerly mayor of
Berkeley, California, is said to be
a most forceful speaker, who makes
bin audiences really think. Lieu
tenant Harry Kingman, of the Uni
versity of California, says of Mr.
Wilson: “The things that Mr. Wil
son speaks are the things that have
been burnt into his heart. And
he in turn burns his convictions
into the hearts of his audiences.
There are undoubtedly not more
than a handful of men in the na
tion to whom the collogo student
•of today could as profitably lis
ten.”
ALUMNI GIVE RESPONSE
TO APPEAL IN DRIVE
(Continued from page one)
there for the University. Tho group
is well organized with between 90
and 100 in the organization, which
includes all of Clatsop county.
“ We had good music, Oregon songs,
and a good peppy bunch,” said l)r.
Sheldon.
William G. Hale, dean of the school
of law, has just returned from Seat
tle whero he gave an address Friday
night at an endowment dinner held
in connection with the University Gift
Campaign. The group of about 35
that were present was thoroughly rep
resentative of the alumni in that dis
trict in that both the earlier and later
classes were well represented by in
flnential members.
In his address Dean Hale pointed
out tho reasons why tho University
found it necessary to launch the Gift
Campaign, and problems of higher,
education by the state were discussed.
Dr. Smith Gives Address
"There is no doubt in my mind that
the bay territory will do its part in
the drive,” said I)r. Warren Smith,
who addressed the alumni at Sun
Francisco.
A large meeting, attended by about
75, was belli in the Palace hotel. l>r.
Smith told of the purposes of the
campaign and several of the alumni
responded. A permanent organize
tion known as the “Hav Alumni asso
rintion” was formed to take charge
of the drive. David H. McDaniel
was elected president and Mrs. Charlie
Fenton Clark, who was for several
years alumni secretary.
Pean Allen found the alumni at
Rozeburg and in Douglas county back
of the project.
“1 was given a cordial, good re
eoption,” said the dean, "and there
was a good representation present.”
Walter Fisher was chairman at the
meeting and about huif a dozen
speakers were heard on the drive. An
organization of alumni of Douglas
County was formed and indications
point to strong support from that
part of the state. About -5 persons
attended the meeting.
Kelso Has Gathering
Representatives from Woodland,
Longview, Kalama and Castle Rock
attended the gathering at Kelso,
Washington. Professor Hugh Rosson
was the speaker. There were about
14 present and all showed a great
interest in the campaign, and plans
for a permanent organization are now
under way. Professor Bosson thinks
the Washington district will go over
the top.
The meeting at Grants PasB was a
success, according to Prof. George
Turnbull. “The meeting was inter
esting,” he said, “and all present
showed a real interest in the future
of the University and a willingness
to do their share.”
Professor Turnbull believes the
campaign will be successful in the
district from the interest shown.
The chairman of the gathering was
Wilfred C. Allen of the Grants Pass
Courier.
Alumni Send Letters
Communications addressed to Pres
ident Campbell from alumni leaders
throughout the country indicate the

Actor Who Plays
‘Mr. Wu’ Tonight
Walker Whiteside
Famous Star to Take Part
in Chinese Drama
Stars of consequence, or rather of
high standing, are seldom encountered
nowadays. In fact one could name
them on less than the fingers of one
hand. The public is not to be gulled
into believing that electric signs alone
make a star of importance. “Stars
are born, not, made” to paraphrase a
Bomewhat bromidic expression.
Walker Whiteside’s magnificent
record as an actor and producer
should, in years to come, be noted
alongside the achievements of any of
the big masters of the theater. He
has contributed to the stage a beau
tiful and powerful performance of
Hamlet, which character he played
throughout this country upwards of
one thousand times. His delineation
of Richard TII, though departing
from tradition, won great praise for

its subdued shading, and its subse
quent tempestuous flare, up to the
duel and death scene, whieh a great
critic held to be“Too appalling, and
magnificent to even be described.”
Besides the many Shakespearean
characters in which Whiteside ap
peared, there were many romantic
roles in which he earned a fine fol
lowing. His superb performance of
the young Jewish immigrant, David
Quixano, in Zangwill’s great play,
“The Melting Pot,” was the sensa
tion of America and London. Next
came his great characterization of the
Japanese diplomat, Tokeramo'm “The
Typhoon.”
During Mr. Whiteside’s engage
ment in this city he will appear in
the wonderful character of Wu Li
Chang in the terrific Anglo-Chinese
melodrama, “Mr. Wu.”
WOLF IS ATHLETIC SYMBOL
ADOPTED BY UNIVERSITY
University of Nevada—(By P.
I. N. 8.)—The Associated Students
of the University have unanimous
ly adopted a resolution designat
ing the Wolf as the official sym
bol of all athletic teams, and fur
ther providing th»t, as a tribute to
Leslie Maltby Bruce, that the title
plate of the U. of N. Sagebrush
of 1923-4, bearing a wolf’s head,
bearing a wolf’s head in the cen
ter, remain unchanged as long as
the Sagebrush is the officiaal
student newspaper of the Univer
sity of Nevada. The wolf was
suggested as Nevada’s symbol by
Bruce during his term of office as
editor of fhe Sagebrush for the
year 1921-22.
University Students Given
Suspended Fine of $50
Use of Yellow Faint Results
in Arrest of Panders
Twenty-one students, most of
them either varsity or frosh foot
ball men, were fined collectively
$50 by Judge Gilmore, yesterday,
on a charge of disorderly conduct.
Payment was suspended on condi
tion that the men keep out of
court in the future.
The trouble arose Friday morn
ing on the march to school after
the ceremony of painting the “O.”
A truck owned by the Eugene
Packing company and occupied by
two young men, continually blocked
the line of march. According to
the marchers, their objections
were met by insulting remarks, and
_yhen the same thing occurred sev
eral times, they proceeded to use
some of the yellow paint which
they were carrying, on the occu
pants of the truck.
When the skirmish was over,
both the truck and the persons in
it bore a heavy coat of paint.
As a result, a warrant was sworn
out for the young men and the
trouble ended this morning with the
suspended sentence. The junior
class has promised to pay for the
spoiled clothes of the victims.
Those taking part in the es
capade were: Ed Kirtley, Bob
Mautz, Jens Terjese'n, Bill Bittner,
Hal Chapman, Bill Dills, Nic Car
The “JOKER”
In the Wide-Open
Sunday Ordinance
At the primary election on May 16th Eugene votes on a Wide
Open Sunday Ordinance, which is carefully camouflaged so as
to appear to be a Sunday-Closing Ordinance. This proposed or
dinance reads as follows:
“An ordinance to prohibit the keeping open, at any time on
Sunday, within the corporate limits of the City of Eugene,
dance halls, places where box ball is played, public places where
any game of cards is played, or where dice is thrown for amuse
ment or otherwise, or where any gambling games are carried on;
and to prohibit horse racing, trotting races or pacing races;
and to repeal Ordinance No. 984, Ordinance No. 1385 and Or
dinance No. 2040, and all ordinances or parts of ordinances in
conflict herewith.
The “Joker” in this proposed ordinace is in the repeal of Or
dinances Nos. 984, 1385 and 2040, which now prohibit the run
ning of pool halls, theaters, auto races and public amusements
on Sunday. If this proposed ordinance is adopted the POOL
HALLS, MOVIES, AUTO RACES, PUBLIC AMUSEMENTS,
ETC., will run WIDE OPEN on SUNDAY.
The sponsors of this measure are afraid to make a clear and
■ candid presentation of their proposition. There is a plain intent
! to deceive the voter. Are University students for a proposition
that will not stand the light of day?

Vote NO on the Wide-Open Sunday Ordinance
