Activities Will Be Topics;
Oregon’s Welcome Warm
The third biennial national con
vention of the Associated Women
Students will open here tomorrow
morning, with registration from
8:30 to 10, and the first business
session from 10 to 12. Delegates
will probably be arriving during

f be registered at once.
Directories, with the name of the
delegate, the school she represents,
and where she is staying on the
campus, will be posted in the phone
booth of each women’s organiza

answered.
Forty-four schools will be repre

colleges west of the Appalachian
mountains, many of the institutions
sending two or three girls.
Stunts to Be Put On
Tomorrow evening, a dinner will

and will be followed by “Stunt
Night,” similar "in character to the
April Frolic, although those at
|r tending will not be in costumes.
Any university women who wish to
attend this program are extended a
cordial invitation. Sentiment for
the whole week is to make the
delegates feel as much at home as
possible, and the welcoming com
mittee urges everyone on the cam
pus to renew the Oregon “Hello,”
especially for the guests.
Among the problems to be dis
cussed at the business sessions of
the conference will be the place of
the W. S. G. A. on the campus,
extra-curricular activities, vocation

and honor systems, and round-table
discussions, including the dormi
toryless campus, small-college prob

the Woman’s building, will be
heard the home concert of the
men’s and women’s glee clubs, un
der the direction of John Stark
Evans, which will mark the fourth
number of the series of concerts
sponsored by the University music
committee. This concert is anti
cipated with more than the usual
interest this year due to the com
bining of the two clubs, which is
an entirely new and distinct fea
ture.
“Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast” by
Coleridge-Taylor, which is a musi
cal setting of Longfellow’s famous
poem, is one of the most behutiful
and novel numbers on the program.

GAMMA PHI BETA WINS FROLIC CUP;
DELTA GAMMA GIVEN NEXT PLACE
The silver loving cup offered by
Women’s League for the best April
Frolic stunt was awarded to Gamma
Phi Beta last Saturday night. The
next award, honorable mention, was
given to Delta Gamma for their
stunt, “Memory Land.” This stunt
,of Delta Gamma with the “Jabber
wack Jingaree” of Gamma Phi Beta
and “Carnival” of Susan Campbell
hall will be put on Wednesday at
the stunt night for the delegates
to the Women’s League conven
tion.
The prizes for the best character
izations were won by Beatrice
Mason, who was givrti $5.00 for
first place for her costume repre
senting a Knight Templar, and Jean
Boss, who received $2.50 as second
prize for her costume depicting a
hat box in lavendar and yellow.
Honorable mention for costumes
were given to four couples for their
characterizations and to Margaret
Galloway for her representation of
a Eussian peasant. This, the judges
said, was very true to life amd
realistic. The four couples men
tioned were Peter Pan and Wendy,
Maggie and Jiggs, the Hottentots,
and Tom and Huck.
The committee in charge of April
Frolic voted to give the judges hon
orable mention for their costumes.
Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterly and
Mrs. Gebrge Eebec were dashing
gallants in full dress suits while
Miss Gertrude Talbot, Miss Victoria
Avakian and Mrs. Eric W. Allen
were the beautiful belles of the
ball.
The Gamma Phi Beta stunt was
a representation of “Alice in Won
derland.” All the famous characters
were represented, Alice, the King
and Queen of Hearts, the Duchess,
the Mock Turtle, and the White
Rabbit. The Mad Hatter chorus
singing the “Mad Hatter Blues”
was well received.
“Memory Land,” the stunt pre
sented by Delta Gamma, told the
story of an Oregon-student looking
through the pages of her memory
book. There were pages for Home
i coming, the Senior Ball, the pledg
i ing to hpnoraries, Frosh Glee, and
Spring Days. Through the pages
of the book the exams, represented
by little red devils, burst out and
frightened away Spring Days. Then
these imps brought out the Scandal
Sheet which rejoiced over the
flight of Spring Days. This part
of the stunt pleased the audience

STUDENT UNION
DRIVE TU STURT
Work of Raising Funds
Will Be Launched At
Assembly Hour, April 23
PLEDGING ENDS ON 26TH
Committee of Three to Work
Out Percentage Basis for
Each Class on Campus
Tho Student Union drive for
1925 will start at the assembly hour
on April 23, and will close at six
o’clock Saturday evening, April 26.
During these three days the com
mittee and teams will endeavo# to
get pledges from all transfers from
other schools, those who did not
pledge last year, and all the fresh
men.
The members of the Student Un
ion committee are to choose cap
tains, a man and a woman from
each class, who will in turn choose
their team workers. The teams
will work in pairs, an arrangement
which proved very successful last
year. In the freshman class, upon
whom the burden falls, this will
provide for one pair of workers to
every 14 students. The main com
mittee is to compose the flying
squadron, who will get pledges from
the harder prospects, not landed by
the regular teams.
Committee Supper Wednesday
The little white shack which
served as headquarters last year
will again be the office" for the
drive. A committee supper will
probably be held on Wednesday
evening before’ the drive begins,
in order to give final instructions
and complete plans for the begin
ning of the drive the next day.
A subsidiary committee consist
ing of Betty Rauch, Emerson
Wright and Ralph Staley was ap
pointed by Bob Mautz, general
chairman, to work out a percentage
basis for the amount which each
class is to raise in proportion to
the number of members who did not
pledge last year, and from new
students.
Personal Requests Planned
All* possible pressure will be
brought upon those who can, to
give and give ungrudgingly. Fresh
men and those who have not pledg
ed will be interviewed personally,
made acquainted with the import
ance of the Student Union under
taking and urged to give financial
assistance and moral backing to
make the drive as unfaltering a
success as it was last year.
The goal to be attained this year
has not been set yet, but the more
definite plans will be rounded into
shape at the next meeting of the
committee tomorrow.
CAMPUS SUBSCRIPTION

will begin today and will last
through Wednesday. Subscriptions
will be taken by house representa

the Graduate Manager’s office
which is located in the A. S. U. O.

150 copies available for student
subscriptions. It is expected that I
this small surplus will be sub- i
scribed quickly. After this books
will be unobtainable.

give the students entering this term j
an opportunity to subscribe and al
so to give others who were unable j
to subscribe last January. The
price of the book is $4.50, of which
$2.00 must be paid when the book
is ordered.

a 100 per cent last term can still
get a complimentary copy by fill- i

“Dr. Reinhardt is probably the
most representative woman the
West has ever had,” Dean Virginia
Judy Esterly said when asked for
an estimate of the visiting execu
tive. “I think she is probably the
foremost woman of the West. She
speaks remarkably well, and we are
especially fortunate to get her.”
She was especially interested,
Dean Esterly said, in receiving the
invitation to attend the convention
directly from the girls themselves.
She has not been on' the Oregon
campus since she made the dedi
catory address for the Woman’s
building in 1920.

leave of absence from the Univer

He was summoned by telegraph,
and leave was granted by a com
mittee of the board of regents this

Helped in Afltoria Relief

Red Cross, recruiting and organiz
ing his staff, drafting at that time
a number of the faculty of the

FRESHMAN COMMISSION
TO HOLD MEETING TUESDAY
The Freshman commission will
hold its first meeting of the term
today at 4:30 in the Bungalow. The
subject for discussion is “Foreign
Nations in relation to the Y. W. C.
A.” During the past term the fresh
man members of the Y. W. C. A.
of which the commission is com
posed, discussed problems concern
ing their own relations to the cam
pus. The first topic for this term
takes them out of their own sphere
and presents problems of other
lands.
THOMAS SHORT AGAIN ON TRIAL;
STUDENT ACCUSED OF ROBBERY
Regardless of how many times
Thomas Short is acquitted of crime
his ever pursueing fates seem to
be always on hand with a new
charge for him. First it was mur
der; now it is robbery—and rob
bery dug up from the dim and dis
tant past of last October.
“Thomas William Short is ac
cused by the Grand Jury of the
County of Lane, by this indieti
ment, of the charge of robbery, be
ing armed with a dangerous wea
pon. . .” The alleged crime was
committed in this fashion: About j
9:00 o’clock on the evening of Oc
tober 9, 1924, said Thomas Short!
armed with two revolvers, a Colt !
automatic and a six-shooter, and j
armed also with the intent to kill
if resisted, entered the College [
Side Inn. After sitting in for a !
couple of hands in a poker game |
that was in progress he suddenly
pulled out his guns and ordered i
the dealer to put up his hands and '
shove his stack across. Then he ;
backed out of the place, covering j
all those present with his trusty
weapons, and made his escape. The I
State charges that his booty was
16.73 taken from one Armand De |
Merrit—this being the alias under
which Ed Keech does his gambling.
This last witness will lend a dram
atic touch to the trial.
The defense will most likely rest
tlioir case on the contention that
the accused became so drunk on a
half a pint of Virginia Dare that
in the brief interval between 8:30.
when he imbibed it, and the time
of the robbery he was suffering
from delerium tremens, and there
fore should not be held responsible
for the crime.
Marion Dickey—the defending
attorney—left Friday morning for
Portland where it is thought he
consulted with some of the state’s
leading criminal lawyers and medi
cal experts. He assures those inter
ested in the outcome of the trial
that he will get the defendant off.
The defendant seems to be taking
the whole thing stoically but it has
come to the ear of the reporter
that he has had to sell the old
homestead to satisfy the demands
of his attorney.
The states attorney in this case
will bo Jean F. DuPaul, and he
will put the accused on trial at
seven o’clock this evening in the
county court house.
