FIRST STUDENT UNION CONTRIBUTION MADE The first contribution to the Student Union Drive this year conies from F. H. Young, presi dent of the University of Ore gon alumni association. When Mr. Young heard that the Un ion drive is about to swing into action he sent a message of congratulation, printed on this page, and also sent along a check for five dollars. Mr. Young, who is the son of Dean F. G. Young of the school of sociology in the University, is one of the co-editors of the “Oregon Voter,” a weekly mag azine of citizenship published in Portland. «s» RAINY WEATHER CHECKS OREGON BULL PRACTICE Ineligibility of Harrison Is Further Blow to Team’s Chances in Pennant Race Pacific University Offers First Competition Friday For Lemon Yellow Squad Conditions in the varsity baseball camp have taken on the gloomy as pect of the continued April showers, which are preventing workouts. The only let-up in the rainy weather for more than a week, came Monday, allowing the squad to hold a short, but much needed practice. Further hard luck struck the Ore gon ball quarters with the an nouncement of the ineligibility <f£ Fred Harrison, twirler for the fresh in 1923, and one of the mainstays on the present varsity pitching staff. Harrison’s work on the mound during his freshman year, was ample recommendation that he would be a valuable cog on the Ore gon nine. With Harrjpon dropped from the hurling staff, only three dependable veterans’ remain,— Knudson, Brooks and Williams, with Murray, Dutton and Adolph from the freshman team last year to share the pitching burden with the three regulars. Ball is Hit Hard With the first game of the sea son scheduled for Friday with the Pacific university nine, ‘the var sity is in a bad way, considering the lack of time for practice. The ‘batting practice on Monday, how ever, gave somewhat of an indica (Continued on page three) CONDITIONS IN BRITAIN CLERGYMAN’S SUBJECT Rev. Lawrence Redfern of the Willet Unitarian church, Liverpool, England, who is to speak on social and political conditions in England in relation to educational problems, is prominent as a leader in the “youth movement.” It was origin ally planned for Rev. Redfern to speak at the Thursday assembly, but owing to a change in program, he will appear today at 10 o’clock in the journalism assembly room. The meeting is open to all students and others interested. As a lecturer on many phases of the “youth movement,” especially the young people’s Christian work, the speaker is well-known, Rev. Frank Fay Eddy of the local Uni tarian church, said yesterday. This is an active movement in nrnglana, more so than in America, he ex plained and Mr. Redfern, who is an excellent speaker, is in close j touch with young people in his po- ^ sition as a member of the faculty j at the University of Liverpool! The lecturer is a graduate of the University of Manchester, and hav ing been awarded a scholarship to Harvard university, is a post-grad uate from the latter institution. He has been giving addresses to the student bodies of California col leges and universities under the auspices of his church, for which he is the Pacific representative. , His purpose in appearing at this ; time is to organize societies for the j observance of the centenary of the Unitarian church, in America and England, for which speakers have been exchanged between the two nations. Last night Mr. Redfern and Mr. Will L. Bernard of Boston, execu tive secretary of the Unitarian Layman’s League, who is accom panying him were honor guests at a dinner given by the local Uni tarian congregation at the Osburn hotel. Mr. Redfern was one of the j main speakers. He will be enter- : taine'd at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Eddy at breakfast this morning and he leaves immediately in the afternoon for northern towns, stop ping at Salem and Portland. The lecture on the campus is under the auspices of Sigma Delta Chi. o PROPOSED STUDENT UNION BUILDING O -o -o MESSAGE FROM ALUMNI PRESIDENT “J’M mighty glad to hear that the men and women of the University are determined to raise an additibnal amount which will make the student union building a certainty on the campus. Such a building will be the student’s clearing house, the heart of the student life, the core of campus activities. The task of securing funds is not an easy one, but the need for such a building is so definite that no one can refuse some share bf responsi bility in the undertaking. “So I say, go to it, students of Oregon. When the results of your work today show to morrow as a splendid center of student activity, there will be a pride of possession that will be many times worth the sacrifice. , A Greater Oregon must have a student union!’’ F. H. Young, President, University of Oregon Alumni. TWO AUDIENCES ATfEiUCERT By Emily Houston The home concert given by the University orchestra at the music auditorium last evening was the last of the series under the auspices of the student body this year. The program, given twice during the evening to accomodate the large crowd which always attends the home concert, was exceedingly good and finished in effects of harmony, modulation and control. The program was interesting and varied and extremely pleasing to listen to. The numbers wer# short and in finished style. Among the most effective were the Slavonic Dances which were brilliant with beautiful effects as of the instru ments interweaving with contin ually changing harmony effects. In contrast was the “Loves Dream” waltz by Czibulka, which was smooth, flowing and blended into a single harmony with introduction (Continued on page four) SALE TO BE GIVEN FOR WOMEN’S SCHOLARSHIP ’Tis ' said, on eminent authority, that the department of interior of the college student is notoriously and painfully vacant at all hours. Remedies to this distressing state are being offered by Phi Chi Theta, women’s commerce fraternity. Doughnuts, sugary, fluffy, so big that they have no holes, will be dis tributed about the region of the Li brary and the commerce building. A meager tax of five cents is taken for one of these huge sweetmeats. The proceeds go to scholarship fund, for the upperelass woman who is judged the best all-around stu dent. Scholarship, prominence in activities and personality are quali fications. Remember what Napoleon said— and bring your lead slugs. This sale will be held today. Heel Cracking Bees Planned By All Classes Next Friday evening is to be the time for class functions—no date, as usual. On this evening there will be no other affairs on the social cal endar, so that these parties and dances, or whatever they turn out to be, should be, well attended. Those on schedule for this Friday will be no exception. Here is the dope—Laraway hall will be the scene of the first spring upperclass dance ever given, and, in case it turns out to be a huge success, it will be established as an annual af fair.. Music will be furnished by the Pi-id Pipers, a band that needs no talking up. There will be a feature and refreshments. The juniors will discuss the dance today at their meeting from the standpoint of a date or no-date dance, and we’ll let you know tomorrow how it turns out. In the meantime, better be thinking about who you’d like to take if it’s to be that kind of a dance, and anyway, let’s get all en thused over it so we can all go just (Continued on page three) SIGMA NU FRATERNITY REPORTS $100 THEFT Loss of more than $100 as the re sult of a theft at the Sigma Nu fraternity was reported to the sheriff’s office Monday morning. The money was in the manager’s desk on the second floor and the loss was discovered Monday morn ing, according to the report of the house manager. As the house is usually open dur ing the night the members coming and going, it is believed that someone slipped in and took the money without arousing any sus picion. Several good finger prints were obtained by the sheriff which may serve as a clue. SPECIAL GIFT COMMITTEE TO SOLICIT DONATIONS A special gift committee, headed by Harold Lundburg, has been ap pointed by Bob Mautz, chairman of the Student Union drive commit tee. Lundburg will be assisted by Mary Jane Hathaway, Ward Cook and Maxine Edmunds. Bill Poul son has been named chairman of the stunts committee, and is al ready at work on several features for the three-dav drive. Maude Schroeder will head the banquet committee tonight. She will be assisted by Clara Lamb, Elizabeth Waara, Grace Dunbar, Dorothy Jane Baxter, Margaret Booth, Eula MacAtee, Nina Kitts, Leah Ross, Eleanor Beckw/lth, Helen Pollack, Annette Heckman, Viona Pyritz, Neva Service, Sam Lockwood, Bill Powell and Flenor Douglas. Wilhelmina Shields and Helen Wolcott have been selected to dis tribute ribbons to those who pledged last year. They will be on duty all during the drive at the headquarters shack. THAI G. HALE TO SPEAK TODAY This afternoon at 3 o’clock in the auditorium of the Fine Arts building, Frank Gardner Hale, mas ter craftsman, will give a lecture on the subject “Jewelry and Enam els.” His talk will be illustrated with examples of his own handi craft. Mr. Halo has had intensive study in this line and his work in jewelry and enamel has placed him among the foremost American craftsmen. His exhibition is carefully planned and especially designed, and shows thorough workmanship and a great facility in the manipulation of ma terials, according to members of the faculty of the school of archi tecture arid allied arts. Jewels Carefully Selected His jewelry is an interesting combination of precious and semi precious jewels in handwrought set tings. He combines the jewels and enamels so that the color of one blends with that of the other, or else offsets it by contrast. His stones compose a rwre collection of (Continued on page three) LESS THAN WEEK LEFT FOR PAYMENT OF FEES Despite the extension of the fee paying period to ten days, the re sponse of the students has been very unsatisfactory, according to E. P. [Lyon, of the University business office. Two Saturdays were allowed in the hope that those persons who are unable to take the necessary time to pay their fees during the rest of the week might take advantage of the two days. Last Saturday, how ever, witnessed only 80 students settling their accounts, and it is likely that next year only one wteek will be allowed for paying fees. With only four days left, the win dows close at noon next Saturday, and the request has been issued that students do not wait until the last two or three days, because they will have less chance of escaping the late payment fee than if they pay now. At the present rate, the usual crowd is expected on Friday and Saturday, and the warning has been issued that the windows of the business office will close at noon Saturday, regardless of how many persons are still in line. The late payment foe is three dol lars for the first day of late pay ment, and 25 c*nts for each day thereafter. #>—..-.- ..- .. JUNIORS ATTENTION Class meeting in Villard hall today at 5 o’clock. It is impera tive that every junior attend this last big business meeting before Junior Week-end. o- —— --' STUDENT UNION DIKE TO STURT WITH ASSEMBLT Outburst of Enthusiasm Planned to Overshadow Former Demonstration President P. L. Campbells’1 Message to Students Last Year Applicable The big Student Union drive will open officially on Thursday at as sembly. An outburst of enthusiasm is planned to rival last year’s demonstration, and appeals will be made to the students to give more than lip service for the future of their Alma Mater. The recent return of President P. L. Campbell to the campus, vividly recalis his last public ap pearance just a year ago when he made the too great effort to insure the success of the drive by his presence. President’8 Message Recalled Students who saw him then will not soon forget how, just out of a Portland hospital and still under the care of a doctor, President Campbell entered the crowded as sembly room. The crowd rose to its feet and there awas complete silence while the head of the Uni versity took his place on the platform algng with Claude Robin son, last year’s student body president, John MacGregor, “Dad dy” Straub, and “Bob” Kuyken dall. The president delivered his mes sage to the students from his chair. (Continued on page four) GUILD THEATRE PLAY TO BE GIVEN TONIGHT First nighters of the campus theatre will have an opportunity of viewing the opening performance of “Miss Lulu Bett,” at Guild hall tonight at 8:30. The play promises to afford the opening audience of this term with entertainment last ing about two hours. During this time will be displayed a story of a real Middle Western, middle class home, with its controversies, its difficulties, and its realities of life as it lies in the hands of the Bett and Deacon families, joined by mar riage vows and surely doomed to an existence of disfiguring short temperdness. The play, typically American in lines, spirit and situations, holds the interest of the audience throughout. Helen Park is doing some very good work in the title role. Her work is constantly improving and j there is to be found in her inter- j pretations a persistent advance over her former presentations. Dwight Deacon is a man whose god is himself under almost any condition. He, the head of a fam ily which is harmlessly but selfish ly dumb, is the dumbest of the whole company. The portrayal of the head of the Bett and Deacon i families is givon humorously and (Continued on page four) MISS BXNOUET OF KLL WORKERS tSET FOOTONIGHT Maude Schroeder Selects Freshman Committee As Assistants for Affair Plans for Intensive Three Day Drive to Be Given Out By Chairman Mautz The wave of enthusiasm for the Student Union drive, which rip pled up Monday at the first gene ral committee meeting, is welling higher and higher.

FRESHMEN FIRE OPENING BARRAGE AT $62,000 GOAL Freshmen class members blew off the student Union lid last night at a special class meeting in Vil lard hall at 7 p. m. Dean Straub presided, while Virginia Lee Bieh ardson and Emberson Wright, freshmen leaders in the drive, ex plained the ins and outs of the drive to their classmates.

Wright explained the outline of the campaign. The men and the women are to work separately and in competition, with special slogans for both men and women.
