VOLUME XXVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1925 NUMBER 126 BAILEY TO CUE ORATION TONIGHT Junior Law Student to Be University’s Entrant In Pacific Forensic Contest SPEECHES TO BE PRINTED McCroskey to Represent Oregon in Tri-State Meet To Be Held in Seattle: Oregon will be represented at the Pacific Coast oratorical' contest at O. A. C. tonight by Ralph Bailey, j junior in pre-law, who will leave j for Corvallis at ten o’clock this ■ morning. Bailey was chosen at try outs held on April 25, as orator of the University in this meet at the same time Benoit McCroskey was chosen representative for the Tri- j State oratorical contest to be held i in Seattle on May 22. Bailey’s oration is entitled “The Sin of Progress,” in which he de scribes Russia’s struggle toward political freedom, and appeals to Americans for a kindlier feeling towards Russia’s efforts to estab-1 lish a suitable form of democratic government. . Prize for Winner Tonight Winner of first place in tonight’s contest at O. A. C. will receive a prize of seventy-five dollars and winner of second place will receive fifty dollars. The event begins at 8 o 'clock. This contest is the first oratori cal meet to be held by the Pacific Forensic League organized by coast colleges two years ago, with the exception of an extempore speak ing contest held annually in the fall tfrm. Members of the league who will be represented at O. A. C. are: Stanford, California, Oregon, Willamette, and Whitman univer sities; Oregon Agricultural college and Washington State college. “Orations this year at the con test will be edited and printed in book form for the first time,” said Oscar A. Brown yesterday. “The orations will then be used by the public speaking departments of the coast colleges. It is hoped to de velop a distinct type of public speaking through this use, in the higher educational institutions on the Pacific coast.” Bailey in Eight Contests Ralph Bailey, whose home is in Salem, has participated as a mem ber of the University debate team in eight intercollegiate debates dur ing the four years of his univer sity forensic experience. The eighth debate was with the University of Idaho this year. Bailey repre sented the University in the Tri State oratorical contest in 1922 at Seattle. He graduated from Salem high school, in 1921, where he was a member of the debate team every year he was in school. A banquet will be provided to night by O. A. C. to the student speakers and their coaches. Sam the Swallow Leaves Dispensary Cured by Doctors Sam, the swallow, is gone! He left without a word to his hu man pal after two days of inti mate companionship, ami Jimmy Leake feels rather badly about it. “He was such a congenial little fellow,” he said, “I brought him over to the Ivappa Sig house and introduced him to all the fel lows. The boys took to him fine. He seemed as happy as possible then and never tried to get away.” Jimmy found Him over by the music building, stunned and ap parently paralyzed, trying des perately to hop around. “He was unable to walk, run, or swim,” said his friend, “so I took him with me. But he was a stubborn bird. He couldn’t fly and wouldn’t eat. I finally took him over to Dr. Ross at the dis pensary to see what he could do for him.” The doctor perscribed one tenth of a grain of calomel every fif teen minutes, apparently with the best results. When Sam was feeling better he was taken to the porch for *a slight airing; but he immediately flew away without a word of farewell. Con sidering the time and affection he has wasted, Jimmy considers himself injured. MARY HATHAWAY GIVEN PHI CHI THETA AWARD Mary Jane Hathaway, was pre sented by Dean Straub with the $60 avfard given annually by Phi Chi ’Theta, national honorary commerce fraternity for women, at the regu lar assembly yesterday. This year ly award is given to the one mem ber of Phi Chi Theta who most nearly approximates its ideals of general ability. During her sojourn on the cam pus, Mary Jane Hathaway partici pated in an unusual number of ac tivities. In lftr sophomore year she was elected vice-president of her class; due to the enforced absence of the president, she performed .that office. She made women’s varsity baseball teams in her fresh man and sophomore years and was prominent throughout her college ; career in doughnut athletics, bas I ketball, hockey, and the rest. Last year she was head of Junior Prom, represented Phi Chi Theta at the national convention held in Chica go, was a member of the Flying Squadron in connection with the Student Union drive, president of Phi Chi Theta, having been elect ed to that organization in her soph omore year, besides being elected president last year of Heads of 1 Houses. Vice-president of W. A. | A., a member of the special gifts committee for the Student Union drive, manager of the class formal in her sophomore year, and parti | cipation on all the homecoming committees explain in part her , campus-wide fame and acquain tanceship. LAW SCHOOL NINE INDEPENDENT CAMPUS BAEBALL CHAMPIONS Jimmy King and his law school nine are the independent baseball champions on the campus. AJdy assisted by Harry Scott and M. K. Cameron, the umpires who were paid by the lawyers, the law school nine defeated the sports writers in a closely contested game vesterday afternoon on Kincaid field. The sports writers would have won had Captain George Godfrey been able to play. As it was, the fate of the sports writers was put in the hands of Sam Wilderman, treasurer of the sports writers’ as sociation. and a member of the law school student body. Love for the law school prevented Wilderman from giving his best efforts to the sports waters, and as a result the scribes lost. Freddie Harrison, sports writer for the Willamette River Smelts Gazette, started to wind up in the pitcher’s box. Frenchie DuPaul, president of the law school student body, whispered something in Fred die’s ear, and Freddie threw his glove down and fled. It is said currency passed from DuPaul’s ■pocket during the conversation This is merely hearsay, ’however, a Harrison borrowed money for ca fare last night. Paul Patterson of the law stu dents did some marvelous fielding His base running was perfect, bu once he was caught trying to stea home from first base. Bert Gooding, the lawyers’ catch er, tried to catch Battling Nelson’ | fast-breaking round-house drop iwith his bare hands and as a resul | the First Christian hospital has : j new patient. Parley Stoddard, reporter for th ; Police Gazette, was the hero for th | sports writers. He made three' hit in three trips to the platter. H ! had an offer to play in the bi. leagues, but turned it down as h wants to stick with the scribes. Stoddard and Gooding made thre hits each. Keech, Evans. King Nelson, and Petterson of the law yers, and Kice and Hunnicutt o ■ the scribes, made two hits eacl [Dick Godfrey had a perfect da; 1 for the scribes making no hit jand no runs and no errors (Continued on page four) BUT ONE NOMINEE SEEKS PRESIDENCY I EXPECT CROWDS FOR VAUDEVILLE Seats for Saturday Night Already Sold Out; Other Tickets Are Going Fast DflESS REHEARSAL GOOD The campus awaits—ah! The gala event in the history of the junior class begins promptly at 8:20 to night at the Heilig theatre. Jun ior Vod-vil—this year a show that will eclipse anything ever before attempted, will open its three per formance run, and crowded houses are expected for each one, says Manager Jaiges W. Leake. Seats for Saturday night are all, all gone, declares Leake, but seve ral seats, ifi twos and fours, are available for tonight, and the en tire house will be open, at fifty cents general admission tomorrow afternoon. “The matinee will be just as good as the evening per formances,” declares Paul Krausse, who is managing things back stage, “and Friday night is to be a gala occasion, teo. In fact, it’s going i to be three rounds of continual pleasure! ” Stage All Set A. dress rehearsal held late last night went off just right. Every act was in place, and except for | occasional cues to the orchestra, it I was a regulA performance The | lilting, throbbing harmony of the ] Pi-id Pipers created a consterna i tion with the feet of those present, and the act had to be cut short so that the stage carpenters would get to work. If “Who Killed the Dead Pig” gets over as heavy tonight as it did at rehearsal, a flock of book ing agents will be hot after it. A1 Clark has here, beyond a doubt, earned the right to a slab In the Oregon hall of fame. The Alpha Xi Delta musical act brought out the fact that harmony after all is a quality that wins in stantly. This act will be one of the most pleasing on the bill. Jane Scriptures lilted and trilled sev eral of the selections she will give tonight^in a most fetching way. j Delbert Faust can dance, and hit ] partner is not only a good steppei fbut is good to look upon as well j Her name is Edna Dipple—look uj ' her phone number yourself! Frolic Act Improved ! The Gamma Phi Beta act is bet j ter, faster and jazzier, more ec centric than it was when it won the j April Frolic prize, and it is up-to ' the-minute in every way. j And the Barber Shop quartet?— . Well, they were still busy honing i away on sharp notes at a late hour • last night. Their quality is just about top-hole. They will spend - all day practicing up on encores. - The show as a whole is undoub : tedlv one of the best vaudeville l aggregations to every hit the Hei lig stage—and that is saying a lot. - Seats for tonight—a few—and if i you’re left out, come tomorrow af i ternoon! r -. i BIOLOGISTS LEAVE TODAY FOR WEEK END AT NEWPORT ; Students interested in' biological > sea forms will leave in cars for i Newport today noon. The party ac ; coinpanied by Miss Vesta Holt, X zoology instructor, and two student ; assistants will camp on the beach near Newport and will spend Satur ; day and Sunday collecting sea , I forms on the rocks around the light - house. All specimens collected by E the group will be brought back for . study in the laboratory. Last year ; a similar trip was made, resulting s in jinteresting work for those car . ing for this form of zoology. The party will return Sunday night. Business School Acquires 129 Pound Lot of Quizz Paper The school of business admin istration has just acquired its final stock of quiz paper, 18,000 sheets, eight by eleven inches, which amount it is expected will be used in the next four weeks’ reviews and quizzes before exam week. Standing beside the pile of pa per, the business administration instructor had to look up to half again his height, and an estimate of its weight was 129 pounds, nearly enough to print one day’s edition of the Emerald. A. B. Stillman, secretary of the school of administration, smiled as he remarked, “It would be interesting to determine , the inches of lead and the quarts of ink that will be used on this quiz paper. We endeavor to supply the paper, but give up when it comes to ink and lead, to say nothing of the gray matter. “No question that the faculty will be astonished .by the mass of information that will come in on the paper—we always are! We don’t have a poetry column, but we have something just as good, for some of the answers are cer tainly ‘free expressions of young souls’.” W.C JEAN TO LEAD PILGRIMAGE TO ORIENT U. 6. Dubach, dean of men at O. A. C., will lead a group of ten men on a pilgrimage of friendship to the Orient this summer. These men will be students and profes sors from the institutions of higher learning in the Northwest, and will go for the two-fold purpose of pro moting international friendship and acquiring a knowledge of the Ori ] ent. | Last year a group of 15 made the pilgrimage under the leadership ol Norman E. Coleman, president ol Reed college. Only ten are to gc this *year, and they will pay theii own expenses, which are estimated at $825 for twelve weeks. The University of Oregon was not rep resented in the group last year, bul anyone desiring to go /this year | should consult H. W. Davis of the [ campus Y. M. C. A.
