iiA VOLUME XXVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. TUESDAY- APRIL 7, 1925 o NUMBER 103 FROLIC PUNS NOW COMPLETE Houses to Hand in Detailed Reports of Expenses to Doris Brophy on Friday MEN BARRED FROM FUN Music and Refreshments to Feature Between Acts; Nine Stunts to Be Given April Frolic, the one time in the year when men are barred from a women’s entertainment, is next Saturday evening at 7:00 o’clock. The women’s gymnasium will be the scene of the frolic. Houses must hand in detailed reports of their expenses to Doris Brophy, in charge of the affair, not later than Friday night. Lillian Luders, in charge of the stage, should be notified by Saturday morning of any prefer ence in the color of the spotlight. The idea of the committee, in limiting the cost of the acts, was to lessen the competitive spirit among the houses, and make less work. The Frolic will thus be more of a playtime for all the women on the campus than a contest between those houses presenting stunts, and the committee expresses the hope that everyone will comply with the $15.00 expense limit. House Stunts Listed Houses competing, with the names of their performances, are: Delta Delta Delta, “Behind the Moon.” Tau Nn, “Oh! Listen!” Susan Campbell hall, “Carnival.” Alpha Omicron Pi, “A Night in - Georgia.” Kappa Omicron, “Progress of Petticoats.” Delta Gamma, “Memory Land.” Gamma Phi Beta, “Jabberwack Jingaree. ” Pi Beta Phi, “Boots.” Alpha Delta Pi, “A Moonlight Fantasy.” Patronesses for the evening are: Mrs. Karl Onthank, Mrs. Louis Johnson, Mrs. Henry Sheldon, Mrs. Colin Dyment, and Mrs. W. S. Jew ett. Judges are: Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterly, Mrs. George Rebec, Mrs. Erie W. Allen, who will take the place of Mrs. Dean Walker, be cause of the latter’s illness, Miss Gertrude Talbot, and Miss Victoria Avakian. The programs are decorated with a silhouette effect over a blue background. The shape has been changed from the long narrow fold er of the past to a larger, more nearly square size. Reserved Section Established A reserved section will be estab lished for town women, the tickets being 50 cents. .Unreserved seats in the balcony will be 25 cents. Ad mission to the- floor will be 10 cents, and everyone downstairs must be in costume. The door keepers will keep a strict surveil lance over the entering crowd, in order to detect, if possible, any men who may try to attend the Frolic. Between acts, music will be played, and the girls on the floor will have an opportunity to dance. (Continued on page four) Embryo Anatomists Get Barrel of Eels To Pet and Preserve “Do you want some eels?” It was Leonard Mayfield, fresh man in the physical education department, speaking to the zool ogy professor. “Sure,” answered the profes sor. , So Leonard Mayfield went to Oregon City falls, famous for its eels—long slippery things that look like snakes with fin like tails—and got a whole bar rel of the specimen called lam prey. The barrel held one hun dred or more of them. The anatomy class is delighted with its new pets and has pro ceeded to inject them with pre serving preparation which smells distinctly like formaldehyde of the most penetrating kind. The embryo anatomists like to fondle these odoriferous be ings, which are one of the lowest of vertebrates. One of the qual ifications for an anatomist is said to be a fondness for this sort of creature. MUSIC AUDITORIUM FORMALLY DEDICATED “Open House” Held Inform ally Sunday Afternoon Formal dedication of the school of music auditorium took place last Saturday evening and Sunday af ternoon. Mrs. George Gerlinger delivered the dedication address Saturday evening before one of the largest audiences ever assembled in Eugene. The new Eeuter pipe or gan, which was a gift to the Uni versity by an anonymous donor, was heard for the first time when John Stark Evans, assistant dean of the school, gave the dedication recital. His numbers were all of a liigh appealing nature and among those especially enjoyed were ‘Meditation,” Thais, by Massenet ind “Symphonic Poem” Les Pre ludes by Liszt. The dedication program Sunday afternoon was in the form of an informal “open house.” The people ■ame and left as they liked, en joyed one or more of the three pro grams presented by the school of music faculty. The University or chestra and men’s and women’s glee clubs were featured in the first concert. “The Land of Hope and Glory,” sung by the combined clubs accompanied by the orchestra, eras without a doubt the most popular number on this program. John Siefert, Jane Thacher and Lora Teshner, members of the fac ulty, were heard in the second pro gram. Many interesting numbers were rendered by these artists. The third program was opened by Mr. and Mrs. Rex Underwood who gave a beautiful rendition of Ceasar Franck’s “Sonato,” a piano and violin solo. Madame Rose McGrew sang “Care Selre” from the opera “Atlanta” by Handel and “O Boc ca Dolorosa” by Gabriele Libella. Jane Thacher, accompanied by the University quartet, closed the pro gram with “Piano Quintette” by Schumann. CONCERT AT SCHOOL OF MUSIC OPEN HOUSE DECLARED PLEASING By J. E. A. J. There is a peculiarly chaste spir it in the music of Ceasar Franck that cannot be paralleled except in that of J. S. Bach, which appar ently is banned by the censor. The opposite extreme of genius finds expression in the wild eccentricity of Schumann. Ceasar Franck and Schumann, strange bedfellows, di vided the honors at an admirable concert in the new music auditor ium on Sunday afternoon, at the open house held by the faculty and students of the school of music. The extreme difficult piano ac companiment to the Cesar Franck violin sonata (unhappily only the allegro movement was played) found a perfectly sympathetic ex pression at the hands of Mrs. Rex Underwood, for all its subtlety of phrasing. After two academic numbers, rendered however with unusual vitality, Madame Bose Me Grew was persuaded by some true lover of music to sing the “Erlk onie,’' which she did with great dramatic power and none the less clear enunciation. Finally Mrs. Jane Thacher, who had treated Rubinstein’s “Barcar olle” as it deserves, and dazzled an eager audience with a remarkably showy arrangement of the “Bide of the Valkyries,” made complete amends in the Schumann quintet, which she succeeded in making per fectly intelligible. DOUGHNUT GALL TD START SOON Arrangement for Schedule Of Playing Completed; Sixteen Teams Signed VIRGIL EARL GIVES PLANS Games Must Be Adjusted So As Not to Conflict With Frosh and Varsity The cavorting warriors of the doughnut baseball league will again be seen on old Cemetery Ridge dia mond, according to a statement by Virgil Earl. This announcement came after the termination of the special meeting -of the djoughnut representatives of the various en tering organizations held yesterday afternoon. After due deliberation and knowledge of the possible obstacles which will make their appearance during the season, it was unani mously decided to play by the men present. One of the outstanding difficulties of the tournament, will be the lack of playing space. At present, there are but two playing fields on the campus, and the var sity and freshmen are using both. Games to Follow Practice Due to the non-playing field handicap, Earl will arrange the schedule so that immediately after the termination of the freshmen practice one or more will be played off each afternoon. The starting time will be announced later, but according to Earl, the earliest time possible, under the circumstances, will be 4:20. If two games are scheduled for the same afternoon, the first will be allowed one and one-lialf hours in which to elect a winner: Pro viding a game runs over the al loted time, the umpire will call the game over when the sides have played an even number of innings. All games will be played under the rules and regulations of the doughnut league. Special Regula tions have been drawn up for base ball however. All contests, except the two semi-finals and the cham pionship games, will be of five in ning duration. The final three games will be regulated by either the five inning or the time period alloted. Another vital clause in the rules is that all entering teams must have two baseballs in their posses sion when they report for a sched-1 uled game. The athletic depart ment will furnish equipment, con sisting of a scorebook, umpire, catcher’s mit, bats, and a catch er’s mask and protector. Elimination is Basis The games will be played on the straight elimination basis. How ever a losing team will have a chance to challenge any other team in the league with the exception of the one which humbled it. The challenged games will not count in the championship running and will be classed as practice games in the standings. The one outstanding rule which will be enforced is in regard to the eligibility of men participating. The rule reads: “Men having par ticipated in a varsity or freshman contest for this or any other col lege in intercollegiate competition are not eligible for the doughnut league in the events in which they have participated.” Earl has asked that the represen tatives of the organizations desir ing practice hours on Cemetery ridge sign on the placard which will be posted in his office. This is for the purpose of giving each team a special time in which to put forth some practice licks. Drawing Held for Teams Drawings of the various teams were held at the meetings yester day and the following teams will meet for the preliminary games: Psi Kappa vs. Kappa Sigma; Friendly hall vs. Beta Theta Pi; Sigma Pi Tau vs. Phi Delta Theta; Sigma Nu vs. Phi Kappa Psi; Theta Chi vs. Kappa Delta Phi; Sigma Alpha Epsilon vs. Phi Gamma Del ta; Delta Tau Delta vs. Alpha Tau Omega; Bachelordon vs. Oregon club. Anti-Smoke and Other Traditions, Committees’ Topics To smoke on the campus or— off. This is one of the ques tions to be discussed at a meet ing of the traditions commit tee, appointed by Randall Jones, student body president, Wednes day afternoon gt 4:15. The status of other traditions of the campus also will be taken up at the meeting, which will be attended by student body and alumni representatives. Recommendations made will be presented to the student council, which is to meet Wednesday evening. Existing traditions will be codified for presentation to the council. COL. HIM. S.

Mu Phi Epsilon elects: Daisy Parker Alma Lawrence Myrtle Jansson Margaret Hyatt Mrs. A. E. Roberts Ancient Pedometer Settles Argument Of Library Force It has long been a matter of speculation, among the assistants at the main circulation desk in the University, as to how far a person on duty walked, during the course of an average day. Wagered distances ranged all the way from one to several miles but no one knew exactly. Yesterday the dispute was set tled. One of the young ladies discovered an aneient pedometer at home and carried the anti quated instrument with her dur ing the afternoon. From time to time during the four hours on duty she looked at the watch like register, noting the feet, yards, hundreds of yards and— yes—miles pile up. Finally, when the six o’clock whistle blew she drew the pedometer forth and showed it to the rest of the force. It registered six miles for the five hours ’ work. “And even then I sat around quite a bit of the time,1” she said. HOLY WEEK OBSERVED SPECIALLY ON COMPOS Rev. C. E. Dunham Speaks At Opening Meeting The first of a series of Holy Week services being conducted on the campus was held last night in the Y. W. C. A. bungalow. Rev. C. E.

BILL WILL TAKE IB MEN SOUTH Coach Pleased At Showing Made At Tryout; Time Fast for Heavy Track MAUTZ AND HOLT LOST Bob Has Appendicitus; Extra, Star Sprinter- to Tackle Cardinal Flashes The varsity track tryouts held last Saturday for the Stanford meet were successful in every way and as a result sixteen men will definitely make the trip south. Coach Bill Hayward is making every effort to take a nineteen man team for the meet. He is con fronted with the problem of taking second men and has found it hard to reduce the number to sixteen. There is always the possibility that some of the men will not be able to run, so the three extra men are regarded as about the right number. Bill is taking men in every event, and he plans to enter men in each. At the last moment he was handicapped by the loss of Harry Holt, winner of the 100 in the tryouts last Saturday, who was found to be ineligible. Jerry Ex tra, star sprinter from the frosh squad of last year, who was the inly man in the 220, has recovered partially from an attack of tonsil itis. He will make the trip and tvill probably go strong when he gets down there. Bob Mautz, weight man, will have to be left behind on account of appendicitis. Louie Anderson, javelin thrower, and Harry Hemmiugs were both found ineligible at the beginning if the term. That cuts the squad io some extent'. Those Who Will Go The probable nineteen men whom Bill 1ms picked to take south with lim for the Cardinal meet and heir events follow. 100-yard dash—Westerman and ■Stonebreaker. 220-yard dash—Extra and Stoue jreaker. 440 yards—Kinney and Wilbur. 880 yards—Mauney and Gerke. Mile—Holder and Swank. 2 mile—Keating and Tetz. Hurdles (both)—Kelsey and Car •uthers. High jump—Eby, Flanagan, and rCelsey. Pole vault—Rosenburg and Kel ley. Shot and Discus—Johnston. Javelin—Rosenburg. Relay team—Kinney, Hermance, Price, Wilbur. Stanford Meet Hardest The Stanford meet promises to be the hardest one on the year’s schedule. It was put on the list to prepare the men for the coming meets and to give them a taste of (Continued on page four) DEFENDER OF ACCUSED MAN DISAPPEARS FROM CAMPUS Harley Covalt, if he appears on the campus today, will defend Thomas Short, accused of murder ing Bill Hills on the library steps, this evening at 7 o’clock at the county court house. But, how ex plain Covalt’s absence from classes yesterday! His friends and his enemies have | theories enough. Covalt has fled j the campus filled with the coward ly fear of ruining by defeat his unblemished reputation. Then, of course, there is the possibility of his prejudicing the jury by his ap pearance on the campus during the days preceding the trial. The most plausible hypothesis is that he has been abducted by the prosecuting attorney; for t’will be almost impossible to secure convic tion with such an able lawyer de fending the case. Bill Dills died, at least legally, on the library steps by a shot fired by himself or by Short. There is undisputed evidence that Short threatened Dills’ life the day be fore the crime. Moreover, rumor has it that Dills stole Short’s girl. But it doesn’t do to be hasty in condemnations. Dills was a practi cal joker and was continually mak ing Short’s life unbearable. There is a rumor afloat that a prominent co-ed will appear at the trial as part of the defendant’s program to prove the case a suicide. This plan was adopted on the certain infor mation that Dills had just been turned down by the girl who is supposed to appear in the trial. The case can be likened to the Shepherd case of New Hampshire, which has just been finished. Even the men of the cases are compar able: cool, collected, and of iron nerve. During the interview, Short discussed the case with only a slight shiver of the chin. Judge Kendall of Marshfield will preside. All those taking part in the case are students of the school of law. j
