VOLUME XXVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1925_ NUMBER 122 FISH TO MEET ROOKS III BEUYS Oregon Yearlings to Race 0. A. C. Babes in Annual Contest on Track Here START IS AT 10:30 Five Baton Events to Be Contested; Four-mile Cut From Lack of Milers / The first track meet of the year starts on Hayward field this morn ing at 10:30 when the Oregon fresh man baton-carriers pound the cin ders against the Hook invaders in the annual Frosh-Kook relay carni val. Bill Hayward’s babe prote ges with damaged lineup will face some strong competition in every event on the program, for the rooks are entering a strong team of relay men. The strength of the freshman re lay teams is doubtful and what they do today will be an indication of their showing in later meets. Some hard races are on deck for to day’s competition. In the meet last year held at O. A. C., the freshmen were lacking in distance men and the same dif ficulty confronts the teams this season. Bill Hayward is entering only one miler and that will be in the medley. The four mile relay will not be run, because of the dearth of material in the longer track event. The entries for the freshmen are as follows: 440-yard relay—Allen, Guttridge, Kuykendall, and "Wetzel. 880-yard relay—Guttridge, Wins low, Allen and another man to be picked this morning. Mile relay—Cooper, Pearson, Hicks and Clarke. Two-mile Telay—Boss, Hewlett, Peterkin and Overstreet. Medley relay—Kelly will run the mile and the half mile, 440 and 220 entries will be made this morning. The Book relay teams as an nounced last evening. 440-vard relay—Eider, Gooley, Bapp and Glines. 880-vard relay—Striff, Lasley, Patrick .and Sisson. Mile relay—Skaggs, Schwartz, Joos and Peterson. Two-mile relay—Misovetz, Logs ton, Hovey and Johnson. Medley—Joss, 220; Glines, 440; Peterson, 880; and Sisson, the mile. UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL PLANS COMMENCEMENT Approximately forty seniors will graduate from the University high school this June. The senior play, which will be “Seventeen,” is well under way and plans are being per fected for commencement week. The bacalaureate address will be given by Rev. E. V. Stivers, pastor of the Christian church at the Methodist church on June 7. The University music auditorium has been chosen for the commencement exercises. Lowell Theatre N ears Completion; To Open Next Week Workmen are now putting the finishing touches to the new Low ell theatre, at Tenth avenue and Willamette street. It will be formally opened the week of May 4, according to Donald McDon ald, manager. The theatre is named after Lieutenant Lowell Smith, com mander of the world fliers, who is well known here. The furnish ings and decorations are said to be up to date, and the building suited to accomodate any size road show. The organ is designed by Wurlitzer, and is about twice the size of the one in use at the Rex theatre. NETIUIEN MEET AGGIES AT CORVALLIS TODAY Varsity and Frosh Expected To Make Good Showing Today the Oregon tennis teams, varsity and freshmen, will journey to Corvallis, where they will meet the O. A. C. netmen in the first meets of the year. Both the var sity and the freshmen will have five-man teams. Captain Myers, Mead, Okerberg, Adams and Hayden will represent theh varsity in singles, and Myers and Mead, Okerberg and Hayden will play in the doubles. The odds favor the varsity, for the Aggie netmen have made a very mediocre showing in their matches so far this year. The Ore gon tennis prospects are declared 'the best in years, and the men, working out nightly under the di rection of Coach Ernst, have been steadily improving. The frosh team will be composed of Marvon Cone, Bill Powell, Har old Hutchinson, Walter Cleaver, and William Wood. Cone . and Powell, and Cleaver and Wood will play in the doubles competition. Judging from the rook showing against the Aggie varsity the first year men are not above average players, and the frosh are expected to come out ahead with little trouble. p* -----<J> FRESHMEN TO REPORT ON VARSITY BALL DIAMOND The following freshmen report to the new Varsity baseball dia mond at 9:00 a. m. this morning.

Coleman of Eeed college. The inspiration for Mr. Cole man ’s speech lay in his long as sociation with the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen, and in an intimate knowledge of the work ing conditions in the lumber in dustry. “The over-looked man, whether in industry or polities, is an unsafe man,” Mr. Coleman said, “because he resents being overlooked. His intelligence, and good will for the job, he holds, depends upon having the opportunity to express his views of that job.” Even the leaders in industry are dissatisfied with the old autocratic svstem, in which the relation be tween employer and employee was practically that of master and ■slave, according to Mr. Coleman. The old slogan of “You are not paid to think, vou are paid to do as you are told” is losing ground, he said, because it has not proved satisfac tory in settling disputes between leaders and workers, and because it has bred disrespect for individual ity, with a consequent increasing resentment on the part of the work er. Mr. Coleman’s wide experience among working men and Univer sity students served as a back ground for the sympathetic criti 'cism that he made of the old svs tern. He pointed out how the auto cratic tendency in education, with the instructor standing before his class marshalling his facts and ex greeting them to be returned to him in the same form, is not c.ondusivc to the training of intelligent men and women capable of thinking foi themselves. He favors the grouj 1 (Continued on page three) UNIVERSITY MEN HELP IN RESCUE Couples Stranded in River When Motorboat Goes Over Willamette Rapids CROWD PROFFERS NO AID Spectators Gather on Bank While Marooned Group Wait 2 Hours for Relief Four University students fig ured in the rescue last night of two men and, two women from a rock in the rapids of the Willamette river, near the mill race, where they had been stranded for two hours, after their boat went over the rap ids and sank. A crowd of specta tors stood on the bank of the stream, but until the students ar rived, no one volunteered any as ; sistance. The persons who made the rescue were Don Woodward, editor of the Emerald, Lillian Baker, Lowell ■Sims, and Clinton Davisson. Woodward was in a canoe on the river about 6 o*clock, on the way to the portage, when he was at tracted, as he neared the landing place, by a crowd of people on the bank. Further observation showed a man standing on a rock in the river, in the middle of the rapids near the dam. Party Signals for Help At first it appeared that the man was fishing, but he motioned for assistance. Woodward steered his way through the tail of the rapids and reached the rock where he found Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bridge man, Mr. and Mrs. B. Paasche and a dog. Two deputy sheriffs, summoned a > short time before, had just arrived i and were attempting to throw a ! boom out to the rock. Sims, driv ! ing by in an automobile, stopped ; and joined the rescue party. He got a canoe, and accompanied by Dav isson, went out to the aid of the stranded group. The party was brought to shore in the two canoes. Beyond being cold no harm resulted from the two hour wait for assistance. The rescued explained that they I had just completed work on a motorboat above the dam, and were ! taking it into the stream, when the rudder caught on a snag and swung the boat into the current. The en gine stopped and the boat was swung into the rapids. At this mo ment the engine started again and the boat headed straight over the falls in the river. Bock Saves Lives Just before going over, the ves sel hit the rock, and stopped mo mentarily. Seizing the opportunity, the men pushed the women out of the boat, onto the rocks, and they themselves followed. In pulling | the dog out of the boat, they broke I the animal’s leg. The boat hesi tated for a moment and then went over the rapids and sunk. Since neither woman was able to swim, serious results would prob ably have followed the trip over the rapids. The long wait on the rock proved rather nerve-racking, espe cially to the women. The peculiar i incident in the affair, was the at : titude of the large crowd which stood by and watched the marooned ! quartet, without offering any as sistance whatever. Except for get ting their feet wet, the rescuers had little trouble in getting the four persons off the rock. REGENTS TO PASS ON $5 FEE AT MEETING TODAY The proposition of adding five dollars to term fees, as a payment of each student toward the student ■ “union fund, will be brought before the board of regents, at its meeting here this morning. If the board passes favorably on the measure, I the students may then consider it. ; However, if the measure is declared j unsatisfactory, it cannot be put in to effect by the students. Recom mendations of several University departments for appointments of instructors, will also be heard. Student Managers Of Year Book and Daily to Be Chosen Applications for the positions of business managers for the Emerald and Oregana will be con sidered by the publications com mittee at a meeting to be held Wednesday. These applications will be accepted at Jack Bene fiel’s office until Wednesday noon. The business manager of the Emerald sees that the paper gets enough advertising to pay for it and keeps his staff working. He approves bills and collects debts due the Emerald. He is paid $600 a year. The business manager of the Oregana has the same duties as the business manager of the Emerald with respect to his own publication. The salary for this position is $100. All accounts for both publica tions go through Jack Benefiel’s office. The amounts of the salar ies are named with the provision that the publications make the necessary profit. RADIO SPEAKER GIVES BROADCASTER’S VIEW Sensation Like Telephoning Says H. E. Rosson Badio speaking is analogous to the telephone conversation with a vast number of subscribers con nected to one central phone, ac cording to Professor Hugh E. Ros son, of the English department, in his speech on the “Speaker’s Side of the Microphone” broadcast yes terday evening from radio KGW of the Morning Oregonian. “With the possibilities existing in radio broad casting there is a strong reason for the suggestion that attention should be focused on radio speaking as a field for distinct and exhaustive scientific research,” he said. The radio speech is a carefully prepared address in manuscript form. “As the door of the studio closes behind him the speaker is 'suddenly aware that here is a strange room,” Professor Bosson told his listeners. “A death-like stillness prevades the place, filling the novice with a strange, inde scribable feeling of depression and foreboding. The announcer speaks to him and the voice reaches him with a strange sound. “At last the announcer turns a switch and steps before the mic rophone, which now seems to re semble photographs of an infernal machine. The victim hears his name mentioned.” And with trem bling knees and a wildly beating heart, he finds himself before the microphone which suddenly be comes merged in a blurred vision of farm homes, apartments, receiv ing sets, human forms. Unlike platform speaking nerv ousness and physical strain .disap pear quickly. Usually the speaker finds himself adjusted to the sit uation by forcing himself to give strict attention to his manuscript and the utterance of his words in a clear cut, conversational, tone and manner. In the studio he can not recognize the ringing tone of his Voice nor feel the reactions of his hearers to his particular remarks. In fact there is almost a humorous touch to the situation for it seems almost impossible that an audience can in any way be connected with this procedure of directing words in a conversational tone of voice to this small disk placed before him. OREOON-WILLAMETTE BALL GAME CALLED OFF The Oregon Willamette base ball game, scheduled today for 2 o’clock on Hayward field, has been called off, announced J. W. Benefiel, graduate man ager, last night. A misunder standing in scheduling caused indefinite postponement of both Willamette games. The second was to have been played at Sa lem. May 12. Fans desiring to see the var sity work out, however, will be satisfied, since the frosh nine will be met in a regulation game at the time scheduled for the varsity contest. <> PROM FEATURES WILL REHEARSE Tickets for Dance to Be on Sale at Co-op One Week In Advance of Big Event 500 COUPLES EXPECTED Pi-id Pipers’ Orchestra Will Furnish Music; New Selections to be Arranged Rehearsals of both the feature and orchestra for the Junior Prom are being held, according to an an nouncement made by Arthur Gale, decorations chairman, at a meeting of the Junior Week-end directorate, held Friday evening.

T. C. PARADE ! Approximately 350 cadet officers and men participated in the second weekly battalion parade, held on the drill grounds south of the bar racks, Thursday evening. The cere monial drill by the six companies of cadets, and a battalion review by cadet officers were the features of , the parade. The battalion parade was re ceived by Cadet Major Earl | Hughes, with Cadet Captain Wal ter Backstrom acting as adjutant. I Company I) was awarded first hon ors for proficiency in the review. “The drill was very satisfactory, ! and there has been a remarkable 'improvement since the parade of a : week ago, especially in the band.

Lawyer Baseball Team Postpones Game With Scribes Realizing that their team was in great need of practice and fearing defeat, the lawyer base ball team called “king’s X” last night and begged the sports writ ers to postpone their challenge until Thursday, May 7, 1925. The scribes were in perfect condition and ready to give the barristers a severe drubbing, only the shifting of the playing date saving the temporary dignity of the bar-men. George Godfrey, captain of the journalism nine, has sounded ra call for a little light workout at the first of next week. This prac tice period will be in the nature of an elimination contest. The best men of regular varsity cal ibre will be selected on the sports writers baseball team. 1 SEATTLE ART SOCIETl TO HAVE EXHIBIT HERE Pacific Northwest Artists Contribute Paintings A collection of paintings by ar- , ;ists of the Pacifie northwest will irrive on the campus next week, md be exhibited in the gallery of ;he Fine Arts building.

RELIT TRT-OITS Many Surprises are Sprung; Tetz Wins Mile in 4:32; 220 Is Taken by Kelsey GERKE LEADS IN HALF Five Men Finish 400 Race Bunched With Jim Kinney Leading; Price is Second By Web Jones Close, hard fought races with speed and surprises in quantity were shown yesterday afternoon when Hayward’s track men com peted in five events for the right to make the trip to the sixth an nual Seattle relay carnival on May ). Bill has definitely decided to take the 220-yard relay team after the good showing of the men yes terday. The times were good for 3very race. Bill Hayward was Highly pleased with the work done ay all the men. The four highest men in each event with the excep ;ion of the mile will make the trip. Tetz Shows Speed One of the surprises of the af ;ernoon’s tryouts was the fast mile :un by Henry Tetz. The time of 1:32 is the best done on Hayward Held this year and shows wonder ful improvement over his 4:41 when timed last. Tetz knows his race now and he can let himself out for several seconds better than he did today. Bill Hayward is tak ing only one miler up to Seattle for the medley relay. The showing of Tetz yesterday bolsters the strength of that event. He was followed by Holder with a five yard margin. Keating and Neidermeier finished third and fourth. Tearing it up on the new straight away against a wind, the 220 men finished in the fairly good time of 22:4. Kelsey, regular varsity hurd ler, finished a strong first with a four yard margin over the rest of the field. The other men were bunched after the hard pull up the new track which is still a trifle soft. Flannigan, Extra, Cleaver and Carruthers finished in the or der named. Three of Bill’s hurdlers placed in the first five. 440 Is Close Race The finish of the quarter mile found the five first place men hunched so closely that a blanket would have covered them all. Kin ney won in the time of 51:1 but he can undoubtedly do better than that. The fight began on the straight away with Hermance lead ing. Kinney took the lead at the first pole and held it to the tape although pressed closely by the rest of the crew. Price came up with a strong sprint at the end and finished second. The five, Kinney, Price, Cash, Wilbur and Hermance, finished in that order. Out of a field of 12 half milers, Gerke showed some of his old final 'sprint form and won the half mile in the time of 2:01—also the best half mile time this year on Hay ward field. Mauney, after some difficulty in passing, out sprinted four men in the last 220 and with a strong burst of speed, placed sec ond, a couple of yards behind Gerlce. Stephenson, was the dark horse of the day by placing third at the final spurt with most of the pack bunched around him. Houston and Sussman placed fourth and fifth respectively. The race was full of upsets throughout. Jeffries got the pole and led the bunch for the first 300 with an easy stride. Swank got the lead and held it for another 300 yards by drawing away from the pack some distance. Gerke closed up and a fine sprint at the end put him ahead. From the results of the tryouts the Lemon Yellow will have some capable representatives in the car nival. The baton carriers begin their hard work next week for the coming meet. Bill will^ announce the team to go north later in the *week.
