H1HIL TO HAVE
EIGHT BIG ACTS
Professional Quality and
Originality Distinguish
This Year’s Program
DRAMATIC TALENT NEW
Gamma Phi Beta to Repeat
Performance Given As
April Frolic Prize Act
Eight big acts, eael^of high class
Orpheum quality, are [billed for
production at the Junior Vaudeville
next Friday and Saturday, May 8
and 9. The performance will be
put on in regulation professional
style, with one performance each
night at the Heilig theatre, an
nounces Paul Krausse, in charge of
the affair.
The professional element is fur
ther heightened by the fact that
one of the acts that will be pre
sented will shortly go into profes
sional vaudeville. “The other sev
en will be just as good, also,” de
clared Krausse. “It will be a ‘big
time’ show in every sense of the
word.”
Acts to be Original
The dramatic talent is all new,
and every act will be original in
every way. Krausse, an experien
ced dramatist, has carefully select
ed every number and every actor.
From the opening number to the
closing turn the action will be fast
and snappy, with plenty of variety.
“Every act is a headliner,” de
clared Krausse, “and it is impos
sible to plaee any one as outstand
ing.”
A dancing act by Delbert Faust,
who will be assisted by Edna Dip
pie, will be a feature of the bill.
Faust has had a great deal of train
ing, and his partner is declared to
be one of the most charming of
exponents of the art of terpsichore.
As a curtain act, A1 Clark has writ
ten a snappy vehicle, which will be
interpreted by Kaleigh Greene and
his partner.
Surprise Act Startling
The prize winning April Frolic
skit, with additions that make it
in a class by itself, will be pre
sented by Gamma Phi Beta troupe.
This act was one of the hits of
the year at the Frolic, and its suc
cess is expected to be duplicated.
A surprise act, of which not a sin
gle detail will be revealed until
the minute it is put on, will not
only be surprised but startling,
it is declared.
With a dash of Marion Harris
style, and Duncan Sisters winsome
ness, Jane. Scriptures will feature a
number of popular songs. Her se
lections are guaranteed to put the
audience through the gamut of emo
tions. A “barber shop quartet”
which has now reached such a state
of perfection that the neighbors no
longer complain when they rehearse,
will also occupy a prominent place
on the bill.
Variety Offered by Alpha
A musical act, embracing every
thing from classical to jazzical,
will be staged by Alpha Xi Delta.
An entire and absolute lack of the
male element is one of the features
of the presentation. The Pi-id Pi
pers, with a specially augmented
orchestra, are now in readiness for
their part of the program. Unus
ual airs, that vary from startling
to haunting, are now in a process
of tonal perfection.
Although the vaudeville is more
than a week away, every act is
ready, declares Krausse. Behearsals
are being held daily, and one of the
smoothest and best programs ever
staged at the Heilig theatre is ex
pected. The box office will be open
for seat reservations Thursday, an
nounces James Leake, manager.

Of Conference Schedule
ERNST COACHES TEAM
Captains Meyer and Hayden
Only Lettermen on Squad
Others Playing First Time
A five-man tennis team will leave
tomorrow for Corvallis where they
will meet the Aggie netmen in the
first Pacific Coast conference meet
of t^je year. The men who will
make the trip are: Boy Okerberg,
George Mead, George Hayden, Wil
liam Adams and Captain Harry
Meyers.
With the nice weather of the last
few days, the varsity netmen have
had an opportunity to open up and
have practiced two or three hours
every day. The meet at Corvallis
will begin at 1:30 and promises to
be a close meet. The relative
strength of the Aggie team is not
known, although they lost fifteen
out of sixteen matches in the meet
with Multnomah Athletic club last
Saturday.
Players Look Good
The Oregon team is composed of
two lettermen, Captain Harry
Meyer, who is playing his third
year, ^and George Hayden, who is
serving his second year on the team.
Meyers, one of the stars of last
year, is going better than ever this
year and will help a lot in bringing
victories in for Oregon this year.
Hayden is also showing up good in
the practice games. Two other
members of the squad are Bill
Adams and George Mead, who
played with the winning freshman
aggregation of last year. The fifth
man on the squad is Boy Oker

Ernst, has helped very much in
teaching the men some of the finer
points of the game. The addition
of Ernst to the coaching staff
should prove vfery valuable as he
has quite a reputation as a player
himself.

Campus Has Man)
Animal Mascots
Myrtle the Turtle Pel
Of Art Patio
The zoology research depart
ment has its rats, Deady has its
cats, Villard has its bats and
Bill Hayward has two police pup
pies, but the art and architec
ture has a unique mascot, namely
Myrtle the turtle. Myrtle was
resurrected from a dark, dank
sink in one of the labs of Deady,
and installed in the art depart
ment, where she is the protege of
Kate Schaefer, instructor in sculp
ture.
During the day Myrtle plods
the cool sod of the art patio,
enjoying an afternoon tea of
gnats, and a siesta or two under
her tortoise-shell sunshade. In
spite of the fact that she seems
to be a slow number, she’s a
snappy woman if you tease her
enough, as she proved by snap
ping off the end of Dr. Torrey’s
pencil, wood and all. And Myr
tle is sublimely impervious to any
remarks by spectators who regard
her as unlovely. Myrtle is hard
shelled and doesn’t seem to mind
them at all. It is true, she isn’t
much to look at, but she is pos
ing as model for one of the sculp
ture classes and that’s more than
most of the girls can say.
BRECON MAN SELECTED
TO SING IN ‘MIKADO
Aubrey Furry to Appeal
With Ellison-White
Aubrey Furry, well-known on th<
campus as a singer, and last heart
in Eugene as the principal soloist
for “The Seven Last Words” giver
by the University choir, has beer
selected by M. Boucher, directoi
of the “Mikado,” for the Ellison
White Chautauqua company, to sing
the role of “Pooh Bah” in the
“Mikado,” the second lead. The
opera company, which startB on the
road Maj> 20, will tour Canada anc
will be under the supervision oi
the Ellison-White branch there.
“Doc,” as he is familiarly called
won the role of “Pooh Bah’
through the request of Ellison
White for a male soloist from the
University of Oregon. He wai
selected by John Stark Evans, as
sistant dean of the school of music
for the try-out, which took placi
in Portland last week. It tool
only the first rehearsal for M
Boucher, who is renowned as a di
rector, and members of the open
company, who are all professionals
to recognize in his voice the deep
rich and colorful qualities require<
for opera.
Since being in Portland “Doc’
has made many friends who havi
asked him to appear as guest solo
ist in several of the larger church
es, and he has also sung for man;
clubs and social circles. Not onl;
is his voice winning him friend
everywhere, but coupled with tha
is his personality which is one o
i his greatest assets.
While in the University “Doc1
| studied under Madame Rose Me
| Grew, who is more than enthue
j iastic over her pupil and the unua
| ual opportunity which has come t
him.
' “I feel that this is the beginnini
! of big things professionally fo
I‘Doc,’ and his roie in the ‘Mi
;kado’ and the manner in which h
has grown right into it is more thai
| gratifying to me,” said Madam
McGrew, yesterday. “I am sur
that he will make a grand succes
for I have always expected him t
| do great things and I do not hesi
tate to prophesy for him a brillian
I career.”
While on the campus “Doc” wa
i a member of the University gle
club, often appearing as soloist fo
that organization. For the pas
! two years he has been a soloist a

HIM RELAY
TRYOUTS TODAY
Hayward Decides on Events
Team Will Enter During
First Conference Meet
KINNEY SHOWING SPEED
Dark-.horse May Take Half
Mile; Several Good Men
Working Hard to Pl^ce
Tryouts for the relay men to en
ter the Seattle relays at Seattle
on May 9, will be held this after
noon on Hayward field at 4 o’clock.
The tryouts were set for Friday so
'that they would not conflict with
the track,- meets on Saturday.
The races this afternoon will
probably show some of the fastest
times taken on Hayward field for
some time. There is a group of
promising men in each event and
'they will all be fighting it up from
the gun to the finish.
Events Will Be Entered
Bill Hayward has definitely de
cided to take a team of quarter
milers, half milers, and he will take
one miler from the men out for
the medley relay. The team of 220
I men is doubtful. Their showing
today will determine whether or
not they will make the trip. This
promises to be Oregon’s good year
in the relays if the season’s show
, ing so far can be depended upon.
The men are making faster times
than last year.
The team of quarter milers to run
the mile relay appears to be the
strongest one turned out for some
1 time. Big Jim Kinney has been
stepping it around 50 seconds which
is about as good as any quarter mil
er is doing on the coast now. Ager,
letterman of last year’s quarter
mile team, is in better condition
and will probably finish high up.
Hermance, Price and Wilbur made
the trip on the relay team for the
Stanford meet. All are strong run
ners. Cash, from the frosh squad
of last year, completes the list of
men competing.
Dark Horses May Show
Its not so easy to dope the half
milers for some dark horses are(
liable to step in and win the race,j
or at least place within the first'
four. Hayward has a large turn
out in the event. Swank has been
, placed in the half from the mile,
! which he has been running all sea
son. Mauney, in the Stanford meet,
cut down his time a couple of sec
’ onds and has shown great improve
1 ment over his work last year. The
■rest of the half mile team will be
' picked from Gerke, Stephenson,
Jeffries, Cook, Gurnea, Surry,

versity of Oregon will be permit
ted to have 28 representatives, and
a cottage has been provided which
"will house 22 of them.
Seabeck is located on the sound,
two miles west of Bremerton and,
according to Mr. H. W. Davis of the
campus “Y”, is one of the most
-charming spots in the entire North
west. Facilities are provided for
boating, swimming, fishing, hiking,
and playing tennis, golf, and base
ball. Afternoons are set aside for
recreation, while forenoons and
evenings are devoted to discussion
groups and addresses. Some of the
speakers who will be there are:

University Depot
Holding Mail Due
To Rate Increase
The University depot has re
ceived many papers and maga
zines with insufficient postage
on them since the* new postage
rates went into effect.
Before April 15, the rate on
such mail was one cent for four
ounces, but now it costs two
cents to send two ounces or each
fraction thereof. This means it
will take two cents to send an
Emerald, or other small paper,
instead of one cent. Two Emer
alds may be sent for two cents,
but this does not mean one will
go any cheaper, as the price is
the same for each fraction of two
ounces.
Magazines cost in proportion
to their weight, and are also
more expensive to mail than for
merly.
“I used to have trouble with
the students putting too much
postage on papers and maga
zines,” said the University mail
carrier, “but now I can’t get
them to put on enough.” The car
rier must take the time to collect
the extra postage, when insuf
ficient is placed on mail, or pay
it himself, if the package is to
be sent.

FACULTY MEN ATTEND
SPORTS SCRIBES’ LUNCH
Sports writers need a greater
knowledge of the field they are
covering, was the general consensus
of opinions expressed at the noon
luncheon of the Oregon Sports
Writers’ association held Wednes
day at the Anchorage. Dean Eric
Allen, Professor George Turnbull,
and Professor Ralph Casey were
guests of the association and gave
the local writers several important
suggestions for the improvement of
their work.
Sports writing is tending toward
publicity work rather than the
printing of straight news, was the
opinion of Dean Allen. That pres
ent day sports editors are becom
ing too editorial and critical in
their work was also brought out
during the discussion.
Besides the reguar members of
the organization and journalism
faculty the sports writers of the
Emerald attended the luncheon.

REGENTS TO PISS
ON AMENDMENTS
Plan Is to Make Pledge for
Student Union Payable
With Registration Fee
NEW SYSTEM APPROVED
Proposed Way of Managing
To Come Up for Vote at
Time of A.S.U.O. Election
The executive council after a full
discussion of the proposed amend
ment to the A. S. U. O. constitu
tion last night, concerning. increase
in fees, approved of the plan in
general, but decided to present
Sections IV and V of the amend
ment to the board of regents for
consideration. This body which will
meet on Saturday, is to decide the
plausibility of the amendment and
which of the two sections is the
most feasible.
The sections as given in the
Emerald yesterday morning are as
follows: 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 shall not apply
to any student who has already
pledged to the Student Union fund.
The amendment in which ever form
it will ultimately take will come up
for student body vote .at student
elections, Hay 13.
In the discussion which followed
the reading of the amendment the
fact was again brought out that
such a plan would eliminate the ob
ligation upon the student after he
is out of school. Also that the plan
really has a much wider appeal than
the Student Union which takes so
much time and energy, for it could
be applied to whatever buildings
are needed at the time. Under this
last consideration, comes the plan
for the basketball piavilion, the
drawings of which have been com
pleted and will now be submitted
to architects for, bids. The abso
lute necessity of the pavilion was
pointed out, and the fact that this
new plan which means that money
will be coming in now, instead of
stretched out over a long period of
years, will definitely assure a reg
ular building plan for the Univer
sity.
The proposed managerial system
was unanimously approved, and this
also will come up for student body
approval at the election. The plan
provides for a senior manager for
forensics, music and sports, who
are to have under them three third
year men, respectively, termed as
sistant managers. Under H their
supervision will work the first year
men who are to do the actual man
ual labor, connected with the vari
ous activities.
The council approved the award
ing of wrestling letters to, Dave
Adolph, Perry Davis, Don Cart
right, Sylvester Wingard, Harry
Leavitt and William Ford. Swim
ming letters for the following were
approved, Ben Lombard, Bob Mc
Cabe, A1 Sinclair and Arthur
Erickson.
The council passed a motion pro
posed by Kandall Jones, president
of the student body, which provides
for the publication of a “hello
book” to be published during the
summer, by the graduate mapager.
The book' is” to contain all perma
nent resolutions of both the e*eou
tive and student* councils, report
of the traditions committee, knowl
edge concerning activities, and
everything that concerns the stu
dent body in general. •
