Oregon will be represented at the
Pacific Coast oratorical' contest at

junior in pre-law, who will leave j

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

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!

i BIOLOGISTS LEAVE TODAY
FOR WEEK END AT NEWPORT
; Students interested in' biological

; 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

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

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

Bob McCabe for
Vice President
Candidates for Editor of Oregana and Secre
tary of Student Body Unopposed; Bob
Love Named to Oppose Klep on Junior
Council; Freddie Martin Seeks Re-election
Unless a dark horse appears at the eleventh hour, Walter
Malcolm will be the next president of the Associated Students

U. 0. officers closed yesterday at assembly, the offices of presi
dent, secretary, yell king and editor of Oregana stood uncon

ating a building fund and another, providing for a student
manager systeiU were read.
The proposed building fund
would make possible a new grand- '
stand this summer, a basketball pa
vilion next year and a student un
ion within three years, bringing
the completion of the latter with
in the time of the present genera
tion of students. The proposed
amendment will also abolish drives
for building funds among the stu
dents and will establish a sound
building program for the future.
In explaining the building fund
amendment, Bandall Jones pointed
out the imperative need for a
measure of this sort and urged the
campus to give the proposed amend
ment careful consideration as intel
ligent progressive students of the
University of Oregon.
It was stated that Oregon con
