new ideas from the members of
the chapters themselves. The pro

one of the special aims of the
trip. ”

didn’t about sum up the difference
between the shadows of the mind
and the shadows that are made on
the earth.”
When asked what he did to
while away the long, dull hours of
the night, Bradway smiled and
answered with a tinge of mystery
in his voice, “When I haven’t any
thing In particular to think about,
I try a little trick that I learnod
several years ago. Of course, I
won’t doubt as how it’ll sound silly
to anyone else, but I can show you
just what an imagination can mean
to a body.
“I suppose you’d laugh if I told
you that each tree on this campus
has got a name! Well, its so, and
I’ve given them the names. And,
when the night is a little too dark,
when the fog is rolling in too
thickly, I let my imagination run
wild sort of, and the trees and fa
miliar landmarks keop me company.
I admit that sometimes people are
good for the character, but it isn’t
so with imagination because that
needs silence and solitude.
“No,” said Brad way, sauntering
out into the dark with his lantern
swinging at his side, and his big
bunch of keys jingling, “I never
get lonesome or let the job grow
monotonous—not ns long ns I have
mv imagination.” i

LAW STUDENT NINE CHALLENGES
SQUADS FROM ANY DEPARTMENT
Formal Notice of Intention to Maintain Supremacy Issued
by President of University Lawyers
By L. A.
“We are the baseball champions
of the campus,” declared Jean F.
DuPaul and James King jointly,
when interviewed recently regard
ing the athletic situation in the law
department. King is the captain
of the team which the legal minds
will push forward and Jean DuPaul
is the honored president of the law
school student body.
“The law school,” said President
DuPaul, “issues a challenge to any
reputable school in the University,”
including, in the opinion of those
present at the interview, the econ
! omics department, which ought to
be allowed to combine with its
closest friend, the school of busi
ness administration, in order that
there might be no inequalities.
Though they do not feel over
confident, the lawyers are sure that
they represent the ablest baseball
talent on the campus. To quote the
modest words of their third string
pitcher, “Skipper Brooks,” “it
will be easy.”
Captain King seemed to be pur
posely indefinite in speaking of his
line-up. He intimated that he had
several “deadhorses” which he
would spring at the crucial mo
ments but he would give no hint
as to their ability. It is rumored,
however, that Bob Mautz because
of his low speedy build will of
ficiate at shortstop and also that
the bag at second will be held down
by Professor E. H. Decker.
It is known that “Skip” Brooks
may make third or fourth string
hurler but the chief candidates for
the position on the mound are still
shrouded in mystery. The report
that Marion Dickey is in training
for this post is only borne out by the
fact that for the last three days
he has absented himself from
classes. Further than this no in
formation was obtainable.
That the “deadhorses” of Cap
tain Jimmy King will be formid
able, is not questioned, for the val
ue of such was known to the an
cients. To quote the mighty J.
Caesar on the eve of his great East
vs. West game with Pompey, “My
kingdom for a darkhorse.”
“It is just possible,” said Cau
tain King, “that Jimmy Ross and
Prexy Jones may become component
parts of the nine.” Captain King
also said that he would permit the
varsity to use the diamond three
nights a week. He and his men
would occupy it for three more
nights and on the seventh night the
field would be allowed to lie fallow
as that would probably be Sunday
night.
It is reported that the students
of the law school were seen down
on Willamette street recently en
gaged in pick up practice. They
promise that after the first game
they will carry, instead of the
proverbial canes, regulation Spauld
ing baseball bats.
The wording of the formal chal
lenge is issued by President DuPaul
is as follows:
We, the members of the law
school, being of sound mind and
sound body, all appearances to tjie
contrary notwithstanding, do here
by agree, covenant and contract as
hereinafter provided: to wit, to en
gage at a contest of baseball with
any and every aggregation duly
recruited from the halls of learning
of a recognized, certified and duly
established department of the Uni:
versity of Oregon.
In witness thereof we herein and
hereby attach our signatures.

GYMNASIUM DEPARTMENT
HAS NEW HEATING LAMPS
The individual gymnasium de
partment has acquired several new
nieces of apparatus for use in the
advanced classes. A deep-therapv
lamp used for skin infections and
wherever deep-heating is necessary,
is to be used under the direct super
vision of Miss Harriet Thomson,
head of the department, and the ad
vanced classes in individual gym

a piano lamp in structure, is use
ful in sterilizing wounds. In ad
dition to the two Betz Hot-paCB al

two new ones have just been se
cured. These are commonly used
in the treatment of sprains, back
aches and bumps.
SPRING EMPLOYMENT
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
Employment conditions are im
proving; calls for student labor are
increasing, reports Mrs. Charlotte
Donnelly, employment secretary of
the campus Y. M. C. A.
Spring weather and the conse
quent beginning of gardening and
other vernal activities are the
cause of improvement. Most of the
jobs now being offered are of an
odd-hour nature. Men for spading,
lawn-cutting, and garden work
generally are most in demand.

KEMPY TO TRAVEL
“Kempy” the popular play put on
by “Casks and Bust ’Em” will go
on the road for a three weeks tour,
is the report of OBAK’S theatrical
committee which has planned for a
schedule of showings.
OBAK’S theatrical committee as
well as the Monville club has highly
recommended the play. With a
little more training and something
to relieve Gordon Wilson of his hi
larious tendencies they report that
“Kempy” would approach tl^e ideal.
However, training will come in
time and as Gordon Wilson will
wear an application of beauty clay
over his gurgling countenance the
future looks bright. Mr. Wilson
will also chew tobacco as he claims
that no one can chew tobacco and
laugh at the same time. OBAK’S
will furnish the gum.
MYSTERY SOLVED
There was a great shortage of
male dancing partners last evening
which for a time seemed a great
mystery. However OBAK’S >di
torial staff putt on its rubber soled
shoes and late last night discovered
the reason. The Gamma Phi Betas
were having a formal reception for
some two dozen rushees and all of
the campus celebrities of any real
prestige value were grabbed off and
options put on them several weeks
in advance.
The girls had to hire a hall to
accommodate the largte crowd that
attended the annual affair. Moral
—Girls, pick ’em young—and treat
’em nice.
