VOLUME XXVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, jSUGENE, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1925 NUMBER 120 OREGON DEFEATS WHITMAN 7 TO 4 Webfooters Make First Run In Second Inning; Visitors Cross Plate in Fourth NEXT GAME IS SATURDAY Missionary Pitcher Allows Several Walks; Maikes Eight Strike-outs in*fcame By Wilbur Wester By making every hit count, Ore gon defeated Coach Borleske’s nine by a 7 to 4 scpre in a fairly evenly contested tilt yesterday afternoon on the new baseball diamond. Ore gon’s four long triples, and Skip per Brook’s good twirling exhibi tion were the outstanding features of the varsity play in their second victory of the season. The games started off with both teams holding each other to a long hit in the initial inning. In the second frame, Miller, the Mission aries pitching ace, was unable to locate the home plate, walking West, Brooks, and Beinhart in rap id succession, thus filling the bases. The Whitman twirler then hit Mim naugh, forcing in the first score of the game, holding the Oregon stick men to this single tally in this in ning, however. Whitman Scores in Fourth The opposition did not break in to the scoring column until the fourth canto, when they brought in their first run with a single. The Webfooters collected eight hits during the afternoon, scoring seven runs, while the Walla Walla aggregation nicked' Skipper Brooks for a total of ten solid blows, ac counting for four runs. Miller, who was on the mound for the northern nine, had considerable difficulty in getting started, but at the finish of the encounter, he was alone’respon sible for eight strike-outs. Brooks fanned three of the opposing bat ters. Victory is Oregon’s Second Frank Reinhart, who has been shifted to the lead-off position, made a good showing with two hits out of four trips to the plate, one of his hits going for a long tripple that came very dose to be * ing converted into a four-base blow. Lynn Jones, besides playing a good fielding game, connected with a fast ball for a three-ply swat. Bliss and Skipper Brooks, also drove the ball for tripples. Fred West, although getting but one chance at short, hit the ball for a solid two-base drive. Yesterday’s victory is the second time that the varsity has emerged the victor on the new baseball dia monds, having yet to be defeated on the new territory. On Saturday at 2 o’clock, the Oregon nine will meet Willamette (Continued on page four) Campus ‘Heaps’ to Hold Speed Event At Fair Grounds Henry Ford started something when he began making flivvers, for if there had been no fliyers there would be no campus “wrecks,” and without them there could be no campus “wreck” races. So much for Henry Ford. Next Saturday afternoon, JH11 owners of “heaps” are urged to take part in a regular speedway event at the Lane county fair grounds. Attractive prizes are to be given to winners of each race. Already, half a dozen “relics” have been signed up, and several more have signified their inten tions of so doing, according to the committee, consisting of Thomas Van Hines, Clare Heider, Steve Williams, Bobert Crissman, and Pete Palmer. Each driver must furnish his own mechanician who should be armed with plenty of bailing wire and a pair of tin snips. Prospective racers should see the committee at once in order to gain entrance to those races which the condition of their respective “wrecks” will allow. The races are scheduled to start at 2 o’clock. An admission price of 25 cents will be charged the public. 010.

' t CAMPUS MUSICIANS ENTERTAINED BY FRANK JUE AT CHINESE OPERA The clash of many large cymbals, the beating of drums and tom toms, and the ever sounding gong were the accompaniment for the real Chinese opera heard last Saturday evening in Portland by Frank Jue and his guests, Mr. and Mrs. Rex Underwood, Anne Landsburv Beck, and Alberta Potter. However, the orchestra could not be called com plete without mentioning the oboe and Chinese fiddles, which resem bled large potatoes with sticks stuck through them. Soft music is unknown to the Chinese and their operas are very loud affairs. This five piece orchestra, according to Mr. Jue, would easily drown out any 100 pieee symphony orchestra. The opera, which tfras given in Chinatown, started at 7 p. m. and lasted until 1 a. m. The heroine of the opera was exceptionally lovely and, though her feet were normal, they were bound for the occasion. She did some very remarkable dances among which was the sword dance. The cast was composed of twenty singers and like the Ameri can opera it had a tenor, soprano, and bass lead. The costumes, said Mr. Jue, were gorgeous and no ex pense was spared to make them un usually beautiful. The stage hand is by far the most important man in the opera. Dur ing the presentation of thq, opera, he walks around the stage arrang ing the chairs to represent moun tains, and various other pieces of furniture to look like rivers, hills and houses. When the villan pur sues the heroine on horseback, he struts the stage waving a whip, and, when crossing a mountain leaps over the nearest chair. One of the most unusual features of the opera was the orchestra deciding to tune up at the most exciting points. However, the members of the opera were always obliging enough to I make an effort to out sound the I orchestra. NEW PRESIDENT OF REEDTO TALK Norman F. Coleman Famil iar Throughout Oregon as Educational Authority VERSATILITY IS MARKED Speaker Holds Long Record; In Industrial Fields1 Elected Head of Four L| Norman F. Coleman, < recently elected president of Reed college, and widely known throughout the state as a speaker on both educa tional and industrial problems, will address today’s assembly on “The Use of Group Discussion in Indus trial Management.” Mr. Coleman has a long record of educational -work, but his energy and versatility have carried him into other activities as well. Speaker Leads Students It will be remembered that he was the leader of a party of fifteen students from the Pacific Coast in the “Student Friendship Pilgrim age” last ye$r to Japan, where a| special study ef the student and in dustrial situations was made. Near ly all the colleges and universities on the coast were represented, al-1 though there was no delegate from | this campus. Mr. Henry W. Davis, student pas tor on the campus, spent six months under the direction of Mr. Coleman, [ when the latter was head of the re- j ligious work for Camp Lewis during ! the war. “Mr. Coleman has a strong, but unassuming, personality,” Mr. Dav is said yesterday, “and he has a wonderful ability for taking hold of a situation and solving it. Per haps no other man could have done what he did in the Four L organi zation. There is a very Lincoln-! like quality about him—he is ut- j terly sincere and sympathetic.” j Coleman Heads Four L Mr. Coleman’s connection with1 the Loyal Legion of Loggers and i Lumbermen (Lour L), for which he : is so well known throughout the state, began during the war when labor troubles threatened to tie up the lumber industry at a time when the government stood in urgent need of the output. He took a hand j in the matter in Oregon, and won j the confidence of the workers in I logging camps and lumber mills so j thoroughly that he was elected i president. Although the war time I necessity for .the organization has ! passed it still exists with Mr. Cole- i man still at the head. Music for assembly will consist of a solo by Mildred Welch, who will | sing Brown’s “ God Touch the I Rose.” I MATHEMATICS SOCIETY j PLANS MEETING HERE The mathematics department is preparing to send out personal in vitations to all members of the western section of the National Mathematics society, to attend the convention of this branch of the society to be held here June 17. This is the first time that ihe society has ever met in the North west, and the University should be proud of the honor of being the ! first northwestern university to bo host, declared Professor E. E. De Cou of the mathematics depart ment. Since the weather at that time of the year will be excellent, Pro fessor DeCou anticipates that many of the members from Washington 1 and California will motor to Eu ! gene. The society is composed of I professors and instructors in math ! ematics in institutions of higher I learning. The mornings of the conference will be devoted to the reading of papers on mathematics and to dis cussions. Motor trips are being planned for the afternoons which include a trip up the McKenzie river as far as it is possible to drive in the mountains in the di rection- of the Three Sisters. Campus Gardners Play Horseshoes During Noon Hour “Atta boy! Pretty close.” “Good one—a ringer.” ‘‘Thirteen for me! Only two more minutes to finish this game.” Such conversation may be heard almost any day during the noon hour behind the University depot, where a game of horse shoes is usually in progress. The campus gardners, electric ian. engineer, plumber, and others employed on the campus grounds gather after lunch every day for a hard fought contest, and play energetically until the one o ’clock whistle blows. Last year the custom of play ing horseshoes was started, and it has been continued regularly since that time. Regulation horseshoes, owned jointly by the players, are used. The men are now planning to improve the place where they play by putting boards around the stakes, and filling in the ground. GOLFERS BEGIN SECOND ROUND IN TBORNAMENT Oregon to Be Represented At Pacific Coast Meet The first round of the Univer sity golf tournament has been played off with the exception of one match, and one match of the second round has been played, As there are four matches in the sec ond round the winners w411 con stitute the University golf team. This team will represent Oregon at the Pacific' Coast intercollegiate golf tournament, which will prob ably be held in Portland late this month. In the first round, Jack Marshall defeated Basil Burke, 8 up and 6; Paul Matthews won from Bud Pearson, 2 up and 1; Armand Fuchs defeated Babies Epping, 5 up and 4; Bob Neighbor defeated Barney McPhillips, 1 up; Clate Meredith won from Dave Husted, 1 up; Ed Crowley defeated Francis Cleaver, and Leland Walker %ost to Lloyd Byerly. The scheduled match be tween Bill McBride and Nelson has not yet been played. The matches are all scheduled 18-hole matches. In the second round Marshall de feated Matthews 4 up and 3, in the only match of that round that has been played. The other matches scheduled are Byerly vs. Meredith, Neighbor vs. Crowley and Fuchs vs. the winner of the MV-Bride Nelson match. David Husted, who with Lloyd Byerly, is one of the men in charge of the tournament, urges that all the matches of the first and sec ond rounds that have not already been played off, should be played before next Monday so that the team may be definitely lined up. The tournament will later be car ried out on an elimination basis to determine the school champion. The present good golfing weather should be taken advantage of to finish the tournament. OREGON KNIGHT DANCE TO BE FRIDAY EVENING The Oregon Knights will sponsor a dance held at the College Side Inn, Friday evening, starting at 9 o’eloek. Music will be furnished by the Winter Garden orchestra. Admission is to be $1.00. Decora tions will carry out a springtime motif, combined with the Oregon Knight helmet. The organization is an honorary one, members acting as ushers at all games and concerts, meeting all -visiting teams, conducting them to their hotel, and taking care of their baggage, enforcing Oregon traditions, and acting as guides about the campus for visiting con ventions, or groups of guests. The money_ raised at this dance will go towards paying for the new sweaters bought last year, which have helped to serve the student body since that time. Members of the committee in charge of the dance are, Alan Button, chairman, Lowell Baker, and LaVerne Miller. COUNCIL APPROVES INCREASE IN FEES - —— —-* ■ SIDEWALKS OPEN TO CAMPUS FUGS Action on Petitions From Law and Architecture Departments Deferred MOTION NOW IN EFFECT By accepting the revised report of the Traditions committee, the student council last night opened to smoking all sidewalks parallel to public streets running adjacent to or through the University cam pus. All sidewalks, therefore, on Eleventh, Kincaid, Thirteenth and University streets are open to smoking. The strip of parking on the north side of Thirteenth street from Kincaid to University was al so opened to smoking. The motion, which takes effect immediately, does not allow any privileged districts. , It is under stood, however, that smoking is permitted in Friendly hall and in the men’s room of the Woman’s building. Art Gonrt Not Open Under the adopted motion, the architecture court is not thrown open to smoking. The traditions committee sug gested that the council accept peti tions for restricted districts for smoking when presented by organ ized groups. Because of a student council rule requiring all motions for new business to be laid on the table for two weeks, petitions fjom istudents of the school of architec ture and students of the law school for restricted areas, were not acted upon. The law school students presented a voluinnous and wordy petition which finally revealed a desire to smoke under and about the two trees at the corner of the law build ing. The petition was signed by 49 prominent law majors. Vote of Thanks Given A motion to extend a vote of thanks to the traditions committee for their work in investigating the student traditions, was unani mously adopted by the council. A motion was passed to drop the plan of establishing a freshman court, as the plan was believed to be impracticable. Permission was granted Mortar Board to conduct a doughnut sale on the campus. UNIVERSITY H.D.T.C. TO HOLD DRILL TODAY The second of the series of week ly battalion parades, being held by the University B. O. T. C. unit, will take place this afternoon, on the drill grounds immediately south of the B. O. T. C. barracks. Assembly will sound at 5:15 o’clock, and all cadets are urged to report promptly to their company formations. Adju tant’s call, for the start of the pa rade, will be sounded at 5:25. “The parade last Thursday was satisfactory,” said Captain Frank ! L. Culin, executive officer of the j department, “but this one will show ' a marked improvement. The band i has been working hard this week, perfecting the marching drill and cadence, and cadet officers and men, having had the experience of one drill, will be better prepared to go through a more efficient per formance." j- The military department extends a cordial invitation to all, and es pecially to the University women, j who are interested in witnessing an ! impressive military ceremony, to at : tend the drill this afternoon. Cars i may be parked along the west side | of the drill field, on University I street, from where the parade can be seen to advantage. The cere mony will last approximately half an hour, according to Captain Cu lin. Collection of $5 Fee for Building Fund is Proposed A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OP THE A. S. U. O. CREATING A BUILDING FUND To amend the A. S. U. O. constitution by adding Section 6, Article X. SECTION I. Each undergrad uate student shall pay $5 a term to a fund to he known as the As sociated Student building fund. SECTION II. The $5 fee shall be paid at registration time and held in trust by the Comptroller of the University. SECTION III. The Associated Students building fund shall be under the control of Executive Council subject to the approval of the Board of Regents, to be used solely for the construction of buildings, which are now necessary or shall become neces sary to the host interests of the Student Body, provided, how ever, that the first $500,000 col lected, including the amount al ready pledged to the Student Union, shall be used to construct and equip a Student Union Building, and to build addition al seats on Hayward field and erect a basketball pavilian. SECTION IV. Such fees, so collected, from students who have already pledged to the Student Union fund, shall be credited on their pledge. OR SECTION V. This amendment shall become effective next year, but it ^jiall not apply to any „ student who has already pledged to the Student Union fund. MANAGERIAL SYSTEM FAIIOfD BY COUNCIL Unqualified approval of the pro posed managerial system providing for a complete revamping of the present system of managers, was ex pressed by the student council last night. The plan which comes be fore the executive council for ap proval today, will come up for stu dent body approval at the annual student elections on May 13. The new system provides for a general student manager who will direct junior managers of each respective sport, glee clubs and for ensics. This general manager, who will be known as senior manager, will be in complete charge of all managerial activities, and will hold a position in campus affairs com parable to that of student body president. A stability in the management of all sports, glee clubs, and forensics will be the result of the new plan, it is beieved. Promotion is based on merit and service. First year men are to perform the actual labor under second year men who will be termed assistant man agers. MONEY 10 AID BUILDING FUND Program Definitely Insures Student Union, Bleachers, And Basketball Pavilian PLAN WOULD SAVE $40 Unanimous approval of , the pro posed plan to add $5.00 a term to student body fees to pay for a Stu dent Union, basketball pavilion, football bleachers and other build ings and structures needed by the student body, was expressed at a meeting of the student council last night The motion came as the result of a suggestion by student body presi dent Randall Jones, and gives stu dent sanction to the proposed amendment. Today the proposition will come before the Executive council. If that body sees fit to give its sanction to the amendment, it will then come up for final ap proval before the board of regents next Saturday morning. jJFinding favor with the board of regents, the amendment will come up for student body vote at student elec tions May 13. „ Seven Points Favor Plan The arguments in favor of the amendment were briefly as follows: 1. A payment of $5.00 a term, or $60.00 for the entire four year period is easier for the student than a $100.00 payment stretched over a period of ten years after graduation. If the student pays his pledgo starring immediately after his freshman year, the $10.00 yearly payment is almost as large as the proposed $15.00 payment, and drags on for six years after graduation. To pay while in school is to save $40.00. 2. This $60.00 payment while in school amounts to $98.00 in ten years when the interest is com pounded, and means as much to the University as a $100 pledge. 3. Many pledges, for one rea son or another, are never paid. It is well known that a large shrink age is always prevalent when pledges in large numbers are ac cepted. If the money were col* * lected with the fees the Student Union, the basketball pavilion, the bleachers, etc. would be def initely assured, and the |rhoflte proposition put %on a business like basis. 4. If such' an amendment were adopted the burden upon students would be equalized and perpetuated, and would be fair and just. 5. If an income of $15.00 a year from each student was as sured, money could be immedi ately borrowed on the strength of that income, and much-needed improvements could progress at (Continued on page four) | ‘HASSAN’, PLAY OF BAGDAD, CONTAINS PICTURESQUE DRAMA Probably one of the most color fully romantic and picturesque plays produced in the department of drama within the past few years will be presented to the campus in the vehicle of the play “Hassan” May 13, 14, 15 and 16. | To those particularly interested jin the drama, the name “Hassan” j is a familiar one, wherein liijs any j discussion of what is successful or unsuccessful as concerns the legiti ; mate stage presentation to the pub i lie. Written by an 'Englishman, J and first presented on the London J boards with as great a success as | many of the finest productions, “Hassan” was later sent to New ’ York, where it met with less en thusiasm, because of that metro polis’ inability to recognize what was beautiful in the poetry and rhythm of drama, with which “Hassan” is so richly endowed. The play itself is replete with enthral ing color and magnetic sparkle of motion. Through it runs the story of the ri.se and fall of “Hassan,” the confectioner of Bagdad, and those incidents which confront him, giving him his opportunity as a man of wisdom, who, although of mature years and of portly stature, still holds within his body that spark of “romance—kindled, will lead him into uncertain paths. The plot is woven well. The members of the company will have an excel lent chance to display their ability as character actors, since every part is that of an oriental. Mr. Beddie will portray the character of “Hassan.” His gift in character acting is well known. Herd a Brown plays opposite Mr. Reddie in the role of “Yasmin,” the woman, about whom the plot of Hassan's life is woven. The large cast of the play in cludes members both of the Senior company and of the other dramatic classes. The parts have been dis (Continued on page four)
