VODVIL TICKET
PLANS GIVEN
Numbers Will Be Given Out
From 3 to 5 p. m. Today
At Heilig Theatre Office
40 TICKETS IS LIMIT
Heavy Demand for Seats
Expected; Acts Declared
Of Professional Caliber
The box office sale for the Jun
ior Vod-vil, the premiere event,
Friday and Saturday, opens tomor
row morning, and to facilitate the
sale James W. Leake, manager, has
arranged for the oiTice at the
Heilig theatre to be open from three
o ’clock until five today, when num
bers will be given to those desiring
to obtain seats. These must be pre
sented the next day, when the seats
will go on sale at 10 o’clock. A
limit of 40 tickets to a person has
been set.
Acts are Ready
Every act on what is declared to
be the best Junior Vod-vil bill ever
presented, is now ready, and final
rehearsals are being held daily, an
nounces Paul Krausse, in charge of
production. The show will be pro
fessional in every way, and W. B.
McDonald, manager of the Heilig
declares that the bill is strictly
high class and up to the highest
vaudeville standards.
Variety is the keynote of the bill,
declares Krausse, and every act was
picked because it was different
from every other one on the bill.
Although no act is billed as the
“feature” several will claim that
position in the popularity with the
audience. The Pi-id Pipers have
been rehearsing in secret, but a few
have managed to get close enough,
to hear their strains, and the act is
characterized as one of the “mean
est” of the year.
Songsters Tone Up
The Alpha Xi Delta’s have been
making daily pilgrimages to the
Heilig and have become so familiar
with the theatre that they send
each carefully rendered note in
their musical act to the far corners
of the house. “Who Killel the
Dead Pig” is declared to be so
funny that it was days before the
two comedians who are rendering
A1 Clark’s masterpiece could keep
their faces straight enough to go
through their lines.
The barber shop harmony quar
tet has reached the zenith of har
mony, and are now ready to tackle
any note from a to z. Jane Scrip
tures has timed her voice up for
any number of jazz song novelty
numbers, and she will be ready to
outdo any of her style on the stage
today.
Eccentric Dancing in all its zip
piness and glory will be presented
by Delbert Faust and Edna Dipple.
Both are experienced dancers, and
have an act that is of Orpheum
quality in every way.
Promptness will be the key to ob
taining good seats, declares Leake,
for a gqod attendance is expected
both Friday and Saturday.
Alumni Secretary
Wants Names of
Lost Graduates
Lost! Scores and scores of
alumni cannot be traced! Please
turn in news of their whereabouts
to alumni office immediately.
In the last “Old Oregon” is a
list of alumni whose records in
Jeanette Calkins’ office are in
complete. The new directory is
being compiled and it is impera
tive that all alumni be repre
sented. Many students on the
campus know of these former
students and they are asked to
v drop a note in the alumni office
as soon as possible, so that the
pames may be added to the di
rectory. There has been no di
rectory since 1913 and work on
the new one has been in progress
for several months. Part of it is
at the press now. The Alumni
directories will sell for $1.00 a
copy or if bought with a new sub
scription to “Old Oregon” for 75
cents, making a total of $2.75
for the alumni magazine and di
rectory.
THREE DEPARTMENTS
TO COMBINE ON DRAMA
Plans for Coming Feature
Are Well Under Way
Three departments—physical ed
ucation, dancing and music—will
collaborate to make this year’s
Dance Drama, to be given May 27,
one of the most elaborate ever pro
duced on the campus. The best
talent in each department will be
commandeered for this exposition
of the three arts.
N. B. Zane, professor of design
anl interior decoration in the scheol
of arts, will direct the work on the
stage settings for the drama. Work
has already begun on the stage
scenery for “A Night’s Mardi
Gras,” one of the three intervals
composing the Dance Drama. The
art department is taking full ad
vantage of this opportunity to util
ize all the richness of Oriental col
or and design. The setting is in the
heart of an Oriental bazaar. In the
distance, can be seen the towers of
the minarets and temples of the
city.
Miss Avakian, who directs the
department of costume design in
the school of arts will design and
supervise the making of costumes
for the event. Miss Kerns’ poster
class will also co-operate.
The cast for the drama includes
the following names: Neva Service,
Edith Pierce, Irene Buckley, Louise
Bartlett, Mary Ann Hansen, Aug
usta Hamilton, Bernice Lamb, Kate
Lambert, Betty Lewis, Doris Park
er, Beatrice Peters, Grace Potter,
Maude Schroeder, Laverna Spitzen
burger, Margaret Stahl, Grace Sul
livan, Bell Taggart, Louise Wise
carver, Janet Wood, Charlotte La
Tourette, Violet Bead, and Alene
Larimer.
Bex Underwood’s orchestra will
play for the drama. Mr. Under
wood is professor of violin in the
sehool of music.
STATELY CAMPUS TREES STAND
AS MEMORY OF FORMER DAYS
Fifty years ago the Oregon cam
pus was a barren, treeless field. Now
it is covered with beautiful lawns,
shrubs, flowers, and, best of all,
delightful shade trees. On wan*
spring afternoons, students of pres
ent days lounge beneath the cool
shade of the trees to study or rest;
little thinking of when, by whom,
or how these tall trees came to be
a part of Old Oregon.
But classes of former years are
interested in these trees, and watch
their growth with joy and even
reverence, because many are class
memorials, planted by graduating
classes to commemorate the time
when they left college to begin
their life’s work. Most of the trees
are very near Villard and Deady
halls, the University's oldest build
ings.
Some of those who helped plant
the trees are dead, some have jour
neyed to far-away lands, some have
achieved fame and wealth, yet for
all there is a thrill in contemplat
ing the trees, which will stand in
living memory to each year which
saw a group of students become
alumni of Oregon.
The first class to complete the
University course in 1878 had five
members. They were Robert 8.
Bean, Ellen Condon McCornack,
Matthew S. Wallis, George 8. Wash
burne, and John C. Whiteaker. Two
of these are at present among the
most loyal members of the alumni
association. Robert S. Bean, Unit
ed States District Judge at Port
land. is on the board of regents,
and Mrs. Ellen Condon McCornaek
a prominent citizen of Lane county,
knows perhaps more about the Uni
versity’s history than any othei
person. These first five, perhaps
looking into the future, started the
custom of tree planting, which last

THREE STUDENTS
ARE CANDIDATES
Mary Hathaway, Winifred
Graham, T. Gillenwaters,
Albert Prize Aspirants
SECRETARY IS ELECTED
Seniors to Disperse With
Picnic; Money to Go Into
Old Oregon Subscriptions
Winifred Graham, Mary Jane
Hathaway, and Ted Gillenwaters
have been selected as likely can
didates for the Joseph H. Albert
prize, by the committee on awards,
it was reported yesterday at the
senior clas's meeting.
Mr. Albert has consented to
change the nature of his award
from a $25 prize in cash to a lov
ing cup to be awarded each year
to the senior having a record for
faithful study and a scholarship
not below average, who during his
college course, opportunities con
sidered, has made the greatest pro
gress toward an ideal in (1) char
acter, (2) service, (3) wholesome
influence.
Class Casts Votes
The committee suggested that the
class should eliminate the candi
date receiving the smallest num
ber of votes and take the second
in case no candidate receives a
majority on the first ballot.
These candidates will be voted on
by seniors at the coming student
election.
Other matters settled at the meet
ing were the election of Marie
Myers as permanent secretary, the
decision that Thespians will be giv
en the privilege to assist at grad
uation, and a decision relating to
the usual class picnic. In regard
to the latter point it was decided
to dispense with this, and to use
the money left in the treasury in
paying for a year’s subscription to
Old Oregon for each member of the
class.
This will not only set a prece
dent but it will also save the ex
pense of sending out circulation
material.
BUREAU PEACES MANY
TEACHERS IN SCHOOLS
The May rush for teachers has
begun at the University appoint
ment bureau. Though work has
been going on for about the last
month, actual appointing has been
largely limited to the last two
weeks. Up to the present time 21
teachers have been given positions.
“There are two types of teach
ers which we handle,” declared
Professor H. P. Rainey. “The ex
perience! and the inexperienced.
The appointments which we have
made up to the present time have
been to all sorts of school positions.
Some have been for superintenden
cies, we have placed several prin
cipals, athletic directors, and, of
course, teachers. Then too, some
of our appointments have been
made with some of the best high
schools in the state, the interest
ing part of it being that many of
the best positions have been gained
by inexperienced applicants.”
Of the 21 appointments made, 12
were filled by experienced teach
ers and other 9 by inexperienced.
“At present there is on hand a
large list of vacancies and more
will continue to come in,” Mr.
Rainey continuel. “Some of the
openings are in outside states,
Washington and Idaho mostly.
There are between 75 and SO inex
perienced prospects and a similar
number of experienced on record.”
A great amount of vacancies will
be filled during the May rush but
there will be another, an eleventh
hour rush, in August when schools
' will be seeking people capable of
filling positions vacated through
| broken contracts and other reasons.
There are almost as many positions
filled in August as in May, Mr.
Rainey said.
Campus Lawyers
Highly Indignant
Over Baseball Tilt
*
The campus lawyers are highly
indignant over the misrepresenta
tion of their attitude toward the
approaching baseball game be
tween the lawyers and the sports
writers by some aspiring young
sportswriter. The lawyers claim
that the postponement of the
game from last Saturday to next
Thursday was at the earnest re
quest of the scribes.
“We made allowances once,”
said Jimmy King, captain, “when
they came to us about not having
time enough to prepare for the
game, but we are not going to
postpone the game a second time
at their request. We will be on
the field at two o’clock Thurs
day, and they' will forfeit the
game if they are not there. It is
my private opinion that they
will not be there.”
PARENTS' WEEK-END
PLANS ARE COMPLETE
Program to Include Junior
Vod-vil and Vespers
Varied entertainment including
('the Junior Vodvil and Sunday eve
ning vesper services is being planned
for visiting mothers and fathers by
the committee for Mothers’ and
Fathers’ Week-end, headed by Bill
Poulsen. Other members of the
committee are Jean Harper, Boy
Bryson, Pauline Bondurant and
Beatrice Peters.
Students are asked by the com
mittee to be sure to send the dis
tributed invitations home and to co
operate in showing the parents the
best time possbile during the week
end.
The program of enertainment is
to be as follows:
1 Friday and Saturday night—the
Junior Vodvil.
Saturday afternoon — Baseball
game for the fathers and a tea given
by the . Women’s League for the
mothers.
Sunday evening—Vespers, Univer
sity Music hall, 4 to 5 p. im.
“We are especially anxious to
have mothers and fathers attend the
vesper service,” said Bill Poulsen,
“and as, it will be over at 5 o’clock,
there will be plenty of time for Port
land parents to catch the 6 o ’clock
train home.”
OREGON NINE TO PLAY
W.S.C. COUGARS TODAY
At 4 o’clock this afternoon,' Ore
gon’s baseball nine will swing into
action against the Washington
State ball tossers on the Hayward
diamond. Although dropping a
game to the Vandals Monday, the
local squad will attempt to wrestle
the lost honors from the visitors
today.
Fred Harrison, who has been on
the ineligibility list but has now
cleared his academic deficiencies
and will probably start in the box
against the Cougars. Harrison has
been training and is ready to swing
into action.
In the game against the Idaho
nine Oregon was off color and did
not put up the exhibition they are
capable of lo'ing. Frank Beinhart
as lead-off man has been hitting
the ball hard and can be counted
on for his share of the hits. Fred
West has found his batting eye
and although batting in eighth
place he should strengthen the low
er end of the list.
CAMPUS CULTIVATION
NOW IN FULL SWING
Spring cultivating in in full
swing on the campus, as the few
days of warm weather have caused
the ground to be in excellent con
dition. The entire grounds will be
gone over, and H. M. Fisher, sup
erintendent of grounds, expects
that it will take three or four men
several days to complete the work.
Three dozen window boxes have
been planted, and placed around
the campaign building behind John
son hall, on Susan Campbell hall
and Hendricks hall, and at the
University high school. Geraniums,
fuchsias, wandering iew, dusty mil
lers, creeping Charlie, and myrtle
are used for the most part in the
window boxes.
KIRK ENTERS RACE
FOR EMERALD POST
Two Delegates From Each
House to Make Decision
On Intra-Mural Athletics
TWO PLANS SUGGESTED
A drastic move among ,(Oregon
women athletes to subordinate com
petition in sports to the English at
titude of “the game for its own
sake,” may mean a revolutionary
change in the program of women’s
sports for next year.
Inter-house competition in wo
men’s sports may be abolished. An
open mass meeting sponsored by W.
A. A. to which each house will send
at least two delegates, has been
called for tomorrow.
The matter which has been on
foot all year among women ath
letes, came to a head at a recent
meeting of the W. A. A. The gene
ral feeling expressed was that there
were too many activities on the
campus going on at the same time,
that women were being forced, un
der the present program, into sports
in order that the house to which
they belonged might be represent
ed. This condition, it was main
tained, is undermining the tradi
tional interest of Oregon women in
sports for which this campus is
noted, and is placing the emphasis
upon competition when it should be
upon spontaneity and love of the
sport for its own sake.
Committee to Report
A committee on necessary
changes in the sport situation which
will report at the mass meeting to
morrow, declined to make any def
inite statements when approached
by the press last night. The great
er mass of suggestions and detail
will come from the meeting to
morrow, it was stated.
It is understood however, that
the committee will report in favor
of either of two plans. One plan
will call for the adoption of ap
entirely new sport program. All
house competition would be abol
ished. Individual participation in
sports organized into a few teams
would be substituted. Teams would
be balanced in strength. Competi
tion would take the form of a round
robin tournament among the teams.
The regular class tournament would
be held as usual.
Changes are Planned *
The second plan would continue
the present program of sports with
various changes^ including the fol
lowing: 1. Volley ball and swim
ming seasons would take place
simultaneouslv, no girl being al
lowed to participate in both sports.
2. Basketball season would last the
entire winter term. 3. In baseball,
practices would be cut down and
games increased.
Another matter which will have
a direct bearing upon the sport sit
uation is the HendrickslSusan
Campbell conference. The confer
ence between the two big halls of
residence is an attempt to equal
ize the unbalanced relation between
the hall and house teams due to the
great difference in numbers.
JUNIOR CLASS PICNIC
WILL BE HELD MAY 16
Plans for the junior class picnic
which will he held May 16, are well
under way. The place is being kept
a secret, but dancing and swimming
facilities will be provided. The af
fair will last all day, and trucks
will be furnished for transporta
tion.
Committees in charge of the ar
rangements are: Food, Bud Pear
son, chairman, and Dorothy Myers;
transportation. Babe Sherman; pa
trons and patronesses, Ellen Mc
Clellan; games and amusements,
Jack Seabrook, chairman, and Ed
na Murphy; place, Warren Small.
A paper will be posted on the
bulletin board in the library, and
all juniors who intend going on this
picnic must sign their names there
either Thursday or Friday.
Class in Printing
Offered Prize By
Eastern Type Firm
The printing class of Robert
C. Hall, head of the University
press, has received an extremely
practical assignment. This con
sists in making out an order for
the equipment of a mythical
country printing plant.
Frank E. Carr, manager of the
Portland branch of the Ameri
can Typefounders association,
has heard of this assignment and
proffered his co-operation. He
has offered to assist in grading
the assignments, and to point out
just where the student has too
much or too little equipment for
his plant, and how good his
judgment is in regard to the out
fitting of a printing establish- !
ment. In addition Mr. Carr has
offered a prize to the winner, a
box of cigars or of candy, ac
cording to whom th<^ winner
proves to be.
WOMEN FINISH SECOND

The consolation-elimination tour
nament is not progressing as rap
idly as was anticipated. Since the
girls asked for this arrangement
of tennis, and since it was granted
them purely as accomodation, wheth
er or not they play off their match
es according to the schedule pro
vided, is considered entirely Jtilio
girls’ responsibility. Edith Boyer
for Delta Zp.tn is in line for the
second round of consolation singles.
Florence Huntress and Edna Span
ker have placod Alpha Xi Delta
in the list for consolation doubles.
Today is the final date given for
the completion of the first round,

of tennis. Girls should begin play
ing off the second round of con
solation tennis by Wednesday.
The turn-out for class tennis has
been unusually slow. The schedule
for class tennis was posted on the
bulletin board this morning. Four
class practices arc required, all of
which must be worked off before
class tournaments begin.
Semi-finals and finals "are schod
ulel to follow this second round of
doughunt tennis. May 10 has been

Politics are always uncertain and
seldom is one year similar to an
other, but the spring term elections
Of 1925 stand fair to prove the
most startling and unconventional
of any held on the Oregon campus
before j;his time. With but one is
sue of the Emerald left in which to
announce candidacies, and nomina
tions scheduled for tomorrow’s as
sembly, only six persons have signi
fied their intentions of entering the
