SIDELIGHTS OF THE BIG
DRIVE AS GLEANED
FROM DRIVE OFFICE
Drive activity yesterday centered
about the diminutive white shack
near the administration building.
This small structure claims the im
posing title of Official Student
TJnion Drive Campaign Headquar
ters. It houses, besides great quan
tities of freshmen, all the data and
records of the drive.
Yesterday at any moment could
be seen oceans of first-year men
and women dashing in and out. An
occasional sophomore or upperclass
man found his way into the center
of things, but if the word of the
frosh is to be taken literally, they
did little more than to get in the
way.
The noisiest person around the
place was Jane Sanborn, chief bell
ringer of the ceremonies. Every
time a new pledge made its appear
ance, or an installment was paid,
Jane sounded off on the big elec
tric gong. She is officially known
as assistant secretary of the drive.
Says she likes to watch all the peo
ple from her perch in the window.
Elizabeth Latham, frosh sister of
“Hunk” Latham, famous Oregon
athlete, who graduated last year,
wanted to ring the bell, but Jane
wouldn’t let her.
The Union Shack is fixed up with
all the modern conveniences includ
ing telephone, electric lights and
chairs for the weary. The phone
number is 2081.
If hearsay may be taken as truth,
Robert Mautz is working the hard
est to avoid labor. “Look at him,”
said one of his secretaries, “All
he does is sit there and talk! ”
Mautz replied that he had to con
serve his strength so he could sup
ply the head work for some of the
leas intelligent. He admitted that
he was needed to direct the rest of
them.
Several persons were heard com
plimenting Virginia Lee Richard
son for her assembly talk in the
morning.
“Red” Wright also came in for
his share of applause.
Frances Morgan, leader of the
sophomore women, held down one
of the windows in the shack a good
part of the afternoon. Helen Wol
cott relieved her when the after
noon hours grew long.
Myrtle Baker, secretary of the
drive, by nature of her position
does much of the work and gets lit
tle of the fun. Her job is to keep
the records of the drive straight.
What’s the most popular alibi!
Among the women the song they
sing is, “I don’t want to burden
my husband for all those years.”
And they say co-eds aren’t serious.
The flying squadron did their
flying in a Ford. They flew down
to the Heilig and came back with a
hundred dollar pledge and a the
atre party, next Wednesday, for all
the Student Union committee.

‘BITTER UP' CRY
TO BEGIN TODM
Varsity Nine to Meet Pacific
Squad on Kincaid Field
In Season’s First Clash
TEAMS EVENLY MATCHED
I
Heavy Stick Work Expected
To Be Evident on Part
Of Lemon-Yellow Men
Today marks the official opening
of the 1925 baseball season for the
Oregon varsity. Pacific University
nine will meet the Lemon Yellow
team at 4 o ’clock on Kincaid field.
Considering the short time the
Oregon team has had to practice,
neither nine will be given an out
standing advantage in today’s bat
tle. The last two days of this week
'have been the only days on which
! the varsity has had any real work
out since the April showers have
jfloodedi t*le diamond. Yes%erday,
[ the squad worked well past 6, put
• ting in a few hard licks before
(today’s tilt. The freshman teaim
; gave Coach Beinhart’s men plenty
I of actual contest experience.
Weak Points Shown
j The varsity-freshman games on
Wednesday and Thursday brought
out many of the strong and weak
points in the Oregon lineup. Be
sides having a fairly strong infield,
.the team should be quite dangerous
considering the hitting power of the
heavy stick wielders on the nine.
Either Bay Williams or Skipper
Brooks will be sent to the mound
for Oregon today, with George Mim
.naugh or Jack Bliss receiving.
[• The lineup and batting order of
kthe team will be as follows: Ered
West, short; Prank Beinhart, center
field; Howard Hobson, second;
Lynn Jones, left field; Bex Adolph,
first; Sam Cook, third; Bliss or
Mimnaugh, catcher; Mamnaugh or
Wright, right field; Williams or
Brooks, pitcher.
West Lead-off Man
West, who is slated for lead-off
man, has been hitting quite consis
tently so far this season. Lynn
Jones is holding down the clean-up
position. Jones’ heavy stick has
'been knocking them far and wide
in batting practice, and he should
drive home a few runs in today’s
tilt.
The new and revised official base
ball schedule for 1925 is as follows:
April 24—Pacific at Eugene.
! April 29—Whitman at Eugene,
j' May 2—Willamette at Eugene.
P May 4—Idaho at Eugene.
May 6—W. S. C- at Eugene.

EASTERN STAR WOMEN
TO MEET IN CORVALLIS
Members of the Temenids, Univer
sity organization of Eastern Star
women, will go to Corvallis Satur
day to meet with the O. A. C. Teme
nids there.
Questions regarding the constitu
tion and ritual, as well as the feasi
bility of national organization, will

PRESIDENT PRINCE L. CAMPELL

The University's
President who made
his last public
appearance a year
ago at the
Student Union Drive
THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
■fcivery modern university is more
and more being taken over by its
students as their own particular pos
session. These students are answer
ing more and more to the call of
their own fine natures and are lift
ing the standards to heights of ex
cellence which were undreamed of
in the old days. This springs from
the steadily growing expansion of
the belief in the goodness of human
nature. Students have taught the
great lesson to the old masters that
they can be trusted and followed.
As a result, curricula have been
broadened, buildings have been ex
panded and faculties have been en
larged. The movement to secure
additional equipment at the TJniver
sity oi uregon was undertaken oy
the students and alumni a number
of years ago. It swelled Into a
great movement when the campaign
for ten million dollars was joyfully
entered upon by the students on the
campus in cooperation with the
alumni. The students on the cam
pus struck the first note, rising
above the predictions of doubtful
hearts, raising within the very few
days assigned to them more than
their part of the allotment, which
was marvelous. It set the pace
for alumni, and citizens of the state
to measure up to. Every new stu
dent of the University will be eager
for a part in this movement.
The great student body building
which will soon occupy the site at
the western end of the campus will
hold the affection of every man and
woman who enters the University.
It will be a splendid tribute to the
beginning of a new epoch in educa
tion in which students are a part of
every great movement not only in
the University but in the the state,
because they must be the leaders to
wards not only a greater University
but a greater Oregon. But here it
must be remembered that the wis
dom and the achievement of the
past must also be treasured. ..The
challenge of the students of 1924 to
those of 1925 is to maintain the
magnificent standards already plac
ed before them. It is a great oppor
tunity and without question will be
as nobly met by you.
SCRIBES TO VIE
WITH LAWYERS
It’s all settled, folks, and it’s
'going to be the greatest thing
that’s happened here in its line in
a long time!
The sports writers are going to
play the law school a real major
league game of baseball Saturday,
May 2, on Kincaid field, at 1:30.
Final arrangements were completed
yesterday noon when Jimmy King,
manager of the lawyer’s nine, and
Jean DuPaul, president of the law
school, met with the sports writ
ers at luncheon.
A small charge will be made to
witness the game, it was decided,
and the proceeds will be donated
to the Student Union.
The game will be the regulation
nine innings in length. Jimmy
Cameron, of the economics depart
ment, a former college diamond
star, has been selected to umpire
the contest; with Harry Scott, of!
the department of physical educa- j
tion, and another official to be se-!
lected as assistants.
The spirts writers were highly i
elated when the lawyers agreed to \
unconditionally waive all rights to j

Unusual Motor Car
Parked on Campus
Causes Commotion
One of the freshman girls was
sitting in a very distinctive car.
The car, a monogrammed model
with an impressive flashlight,
was refreshing to gaze upon,
parked as it was in unwonted
dignity on the well-tended cam
pus grass.
The unusual car shared the
popularity of the co-ed who oc
cupied it. • Men crowded about,
passers-by who had stopped in
sheer admiration, friends of the
girl, members of the dramatic
department, and even some staid
and earnest geologists who had
wandered over from Quartz hall.
A camera was produced and some
of the men, the car, and its
charming occupant were exhaus
tively photographed.
A gay joy-ride on the sacred
lawn of the University! How
could it happen? Well, it really
* could ’nt. The facts of the case
1 were thus. Some of those who
attended the entertainment for
the seniors of the Guild hall com
pany and graduate members of
the dramatics department Satur
day night, decided they wanted
some pictures in their memory
books to commemorate the event.
So they set their wits to work,

DICK SMITH ADDS PLEDGE;
HEILIG TO GIVE BIG PARTY
The Student Union drive is go
ing ahead, and it is drawing into
its spirit others besides the stu
dents. Yesterday the special gifts
committee announced two pledges
of real importance to the campaign.
Dick Smith, football coach, pledged
$200 to the Union, . and this is in
addition to an unusually large
pledge to the gift campaign as a
whole.
W. B. McDonald, manager of the
Heilig theatre, stepped in as a regu
lar student, and signed a pledge
for $100 in the name of the Heilig
chain of theatres. In addition, Mr.
McDonald announced that if the
campaign is a success, as he firm
ly believes it will be, the Heilig
theatre will hold a theatre party
with all committee workers as
guestB.
Mans for the theatre party,
which will be next Wednesday
night, have already been made. Ad
mission will be by the ribbon with
“Committee” printed upon it, and
all students coming to the show
must have these with them. The
entire balcony of the theatre will
be reserved. Students are not to
arrive before 9:15, as the theatre
must be emptied from the first
show, and the second show crowd
be gotten out of the way before
the student rush.
“The Heilig is more than glad
to co-operate with the students in
any move they may make for the
betterment of the University,” de
clared Mr. McDonald. Several
times before this year the theatre
has been host to University parties,
but this occasion is expected - to
eclipse them all, as fully 250 guests
are to be provided for.”
BON TO HAVE
ENTRY FOR PRIZE
Oregon will have a candidate for
one of the $1,000 foreign scholar
ships offered by the American
Council on Education, believes Mrs.
Clara Pitch, secretary to the presi
dent. There are already three
eligible applicants for these schol
arships. The candidate from Ore
gon will be decided upon Saturday,
as all applications must be in the
office of the council on education
before May 1.
Students, who receive these schol
arships, must have finished two
years of academic work here, and
must plan to return to take their
undergraduate degree from the in
stitution he is now atending. This
limits applicants to junior and
sophomore standing.
Although there are eight scholar
ships offered, two are limited to the
universities of New York. This
means that there will only be six
successful candidates from the
other universities of the United
States.
The work done abroad must be
'of such a nature that it will apply
to a degree in the United States.
There is no limitation in regard to
the country or university in which
the student may study. However,
when abroad, he will be under the
supervision of the council on educa
tion.
NEWSBOY MAGAZINE

PEP ASSEMBLY
IS BIG SUCCESS
President Campbell Sends
Inspiring Message to
All Committee Workers
NEED OF PROJECT TOLD
Heads of Freshmen Forces
Instill Spirit of Rivalry
Into Opening Campaign
By (J. H. O.
Students of the University, eag
er to see the Student Union drive
in full swing towards a successful
$64,000 goal, gathered yesterday at
the kick-off assembly in the Wo
man’s building. The enthusiastic
crowd, led by" the band, rallied with
the committee heads in the lead.
Fireworks and the clanging of bells
brought the campus population to
the headquarters hut in a hurry—
and the great drive was on.
In the assembly hall the proceed
ings took on a dignified, sober air.
The glee club sang the Oregon
Pledge song feelingly, and Karl
Onthank, secretary to President
Campbell, read a message dictated
by the President of the University
just a few minutes before. The full
realization of what the Student Un
ion campaign means—how it will
affect the entire University for
years to come—was breathed into
that message. It was the utmost
in inspiration, coming from a man
who has made a great sacrifice, a
sacrifice of health and almost life
itself, for the institution he loves.
History of Project Told
The students listened in silence.
Gone was the noise of a few min
utes before, but the determination
to carry on for Oregon was strong
er than ever. Every student, as he
listened to the words of his presi
dent, resolved that the campign
was going to be a success, a suc
cess to cheer the heart of the man
who is heart and soul for the Uni
versity.
John McGregor, student body
president two years ago, one of the
men who first caught the vision
of the great Union, told the history
of the project, and described the
need that exists for .it even now.
“The Union will be a rallying place
for friendship, for Oregon spirit
and Oregon traditions,” he said.
“It will be a place to meet when
we return years hence. It will be
the center of Oregon life.”
The women of the University will
be benefitted by the new building,
declared Georgia Benson, former
president of the Women's League.
Already the Woman’s building is
proving inadequate as to space for
women's activities, and rooms for
committee meetings and other .func
tions are badly needed, she de
clared.
Committee Heads Speak
Virginia Lee Richardson, head of
the freshman women’s committee,
and “Red” Langworthy, head of
freshmen men, injected the spirit
of friendly rivalry into the cam
paign, each declaring that their
part of the class would raise the
most in the drive. Both made ex
cellent speeches.
Robert Mautz again briefly out
lined the drive procedure, and urged
the workers to go and go hard and
fast.
“Mighty Oregon,” meaning more
to the first year students, and
others as well, ended the kick-off
assembly.
J. B. V. BUTLER VISITS
NORMAL SCHOOL CLUB
J. B. V. Butler, head of the history
department at Oregon Normal
school, at Monmouth, was guest of
honor at a dinner meeting of the
campus Oregon Normal school club,
held Wednesday evening, at the
Anchorage. Theodora E. Elwell,
and Dr. Homer P. Rainey, both of
the education department of the
University, were present. Ur.
Rainey gave the address.
The musical selections were a pi
ano solo, and a vocal duet. Mable
Johnson was the pianist, and Grace
Dragoo, and Mary Hatt gave the
duet. The club will hold its next
meeting, May 20.

signified that one more pledge had
been signed, while the thermometer
in front of the library steadily
swung around.
Two days remain in which to
raise $36,950,” said Kenneth Steph
enson, assistant chairman of the
drive, “and we have got to get it
so that we can all celebrate at the
banquet on Saturday night.”
WALTER EVANS KIDD
