VOLUME XXVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1925 NUMBER 127 IIAUSITY PLAYS HUSKIES TODAY Game to Start at 3:15 p. m.j On New Baseball Field; j Visitors Show Strength! HARRISON MAY START Contest With Washington Will Close Home Stay; Trips Scheduled Next By Richard L. Godfrey Fresh from its ninth inning vic tory over the Cougar nine Wednes day, the varsity will swing into ac tion against the mighty Huskies this afternoon at 3:15 on the new diamond. Incidentally, this will be the last big contest for the home fans and their mates to view be fore the varsity begins its annual northern jaunt. . From all indications the Oregon ians have hit their stride and if the flag of the Huskie’s is not low ered today the signs of the prophet will be tossed aside. Pitcher’s Choice uncertain The choice for the mound stands between Fred Harrison and Kay Williams. If Harrison gets the call he will be. starting his first inter collegiate contest for Oregon. He pitched an inning and a half in the latter part of the Cougar tilt and received credit for the win. Fred has a world of speed and if his stuff begins to take, the Washing ton hits will be far between. Wil liams already has shown what he is capable of doing in varsity com petition. So far he stands one and one in games won and lost. Washington is supposed to have a strong aggregation, but stooped to defeat at the hands of the Ore gon Aggies yesterday, 6 to 3. This defeat may imbibe them with a superhuman fighting strength which will assure the fans of a fighting, close score game. . Hard Hitting Possible If the local boys collect the hits they were talking about while prac ticing last night the game wiy be called on account of darkness be fore the termination of the initial inning. It seemed that everybody wants to garner at least one more bingle than anyone else. Oregon probably will lineup with Jack Bliss, catching; Rex Adolph, first; Hobbie Hobsop, second; Fred die West, shortstop; “What-a-va say” Cook, third; and Big Jones, Plunks Keinhart, and Minnow Mim naugh or Doug Wright roaming in the gardens.

Those who aspire to wear the Iiemon O had better come out and ballot Monday afternoon. <•>— ---t -«$■ Trouble in Keeping Pets Discourages Would-be Petters The Tali Nu girls are grief stricken. A tragedy oceuring last week has made them sad, and after an unsuccessful attempt at keeping a rabbit, they have de cided not to have pets. Billy, a puppy, whom they have had since he was three weeks old, came to a sudden and awful death at the age of eight months when the S. A. E. dog, Noble, chased him out into the street and a passing automobile ran over him. Billy’s many friends are glad to learn that death was instan taneous. The funeral took place almost immediately with the S. A. E. ’s officiating. After the loss of their dog, the Tau Nu?s decided to choose a more home-loving mascot, so when two of the girls caught a rabbit Saturday, the problem was considered solved. However, before they could even stage a christening, bunny became so agile that he kept the S. .A E. boys busy returning him from his wanderings. The girls decided it was cruel to keep the animal in captivity anyway, and so took him "back to the fields.

PAUL BUNYAN STORIES, SOUGHT BY COLLECTORS, OUT OF PRINT Unexpected prominence and fame has come to a University publica tion, printed four years ago, which is now being eagerly sought by col lectors throughout the (country. The publication, a 24-page book let entitled “Paul Bunyan Comes West,” contained a collection of stories concerning the activities of the now famous fictitious lumber camp figure. The stories were gathered and put in form for pub lication by Ida Virginia Turney, formerly on the department of English staff. The booklet was illustrated by a number of picturesque linoleum cuts, made by students in the arch itecture department. The paper used in the printing was fine im ported Japan paper. Work of mak ing up the booklet and printing it was done by Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, and Robert C. Hall, superintendent of the University press. A limited number of copies, 200, were issued, and they were sold (A the campus for one dollar each. The entire number was soon dis posed of. The booklet was warmly complimented in press notices and its reputation soon spread. The last remaining copy was given to John Henry Nash, famous printer, when he recently visited the Uni versity. He was very pleased with the gift and complimented the work highly. Lately many letters have been coming to the University press, asking if it is possible to secure copies of the booklet. These re quests have come from all parts of the country and from many na tionally known publishing houses and collectors. However the only ones who can supply these demands are those of the original purchasers who still have their copies and are willing to sell them. As far as the publishers are concerned “Paul Bunyan Comes West” is out of print. Incidentally, anyone who has a copy and is willing to dis pose of it may do so at a large profit. REGENTSNUKE Drama Department Ousted; Staff Abolished; Two Department Heads Out SECRET LEAKS OUT Sweeping Action Taken At Board Meeting Last Saturday; Facts Withheld By Leon Byrne The complete abolition of the drama department of the Univer sity, with the dispensation of the services of the entire staff; the demotion of two department heads in the University; the dismissal of another professor: these are a few of the events concurrent with the recent meeting of the board of re gents; events which an attempt has been made to keep secret, but which are made public in this morning’s edition of the Portland Oregonian and the Eugene Regis ter. Following the meeting of the re gents last Saturday, a report was issued by the administration of the University, supposedly covering the entire business car ried on by the regents—business with which the entire public is supposedly concerned. This report stated in an obscure place that: “The board voted to consolidate the department of drama and the speech arts with the English de partment.” Department is Eliminated The truth of the matter, accord ing to the minutes of the meeting, is that the department of drama has been eliminated from the Uni versity; the services of the entire staff discontinued at the end of the present term, with any classes of this nature to be conducted by the English department. The report stated that “it would take too long to explain the com bination of the departments.” A member of the board, when asked for a statement as, to what really hap pened at the meeting, referred the reporter to the University officials. Fergus Reddie, head of the dram atic department, has been with the University for practically thirteen years. WKen he came here there was no dramatic department of any kind. Since he has been here he has built up one of the finest and best known departments in the West. There are at present 64 students majoring in drama, and there are over 150 enrolled in the courses taught by the department. Herbert C. Howe, head of the English department, and Timothy Cloran, head of the Romance lang uage department, have both been demoted, it is understood, Profes sor Howe with a $500 decrease in salary. It is not known whether or not other men have been ap pointed to fill these vacancies. Kerby Miller, Oxford graduate (Continued on ~>age four) FLOWERS TO BLOOM NEAR ART BUILDING Additional flowers and shrubs are to be set out in the flower-beds at the south end of the art building, in the near future. Miss Maude Kerns, of the art de partment, has suggested a number of varieties for the purpose, such as chrysanthemums, peonies, snap dragons hollyhocks, centerbury bells, columbine, gladioli, zinnias, fox glove, red hot poker and others. H. M. Fisher, superintendent of grounds, expects that it will be ne cessary to spade up additional ground in order to make enough room for the new flowers! ---<3> 1o Mothers and Fathers: We welcome you to our eampus. ; We are glad that you have come i and that you have given us this opportunity to entertain you.

Rosenburg Suit for Damages Filed In Lawyers’ Court Wistar (Chic) Rosenburg is in trouble again, and it seems to be a rather serious matter this time. As the result of a library brawl, in which lie severely injured, or caused to be injured, one Victor Risley, vice-president of the law school student body, he is being sued for damages amounting to the sum of $5,000. According to the plaintiff, Mr. Rosenburg entered the reserve section reading room last Thurs day afternoon and demanded a certain book which Mr. Risley was reading. Mr. Risley,‘having just taken out the book and see ing no reason why he should comply with the other’s demands, resented Rosenburg’s attitude. It is charged that Rosenburg re ferred Risley to the infernal re gions and then attacked him. In the ensuing struggle Rislev’s hip came violently in contact with the corner of a table, and, according to Dr. Ross, the injury received may possibly be a per manent one. Ralph McClaflin, attorney for the plaintiff, says that Oregon will lose one of her premier track men, for it will be impossible for Rosenburg to keep out of jail. The defendant, how ever, has been wearing his cus tomary smile of late, seemingly confident in the abilities of James King, defense attorney. The case will be up for hear ing before the next session of the moot court, which is scheduled for Tuesday night.

Seniors Warned Of Requirements Before Graduation Seniors are warned that, if they wish to graduate, there are cer tain formalities which must not be overlooked. Most important of these requirements are those per taining t othe' payment of a grad uate fee and the filing of cards of application for, degrees. This should be done as soon as pos sible. No student’s record for gradua tion is considered until anti appli cation for degree card has been filled out and filed at the regis trar’s office. This should be done immediately. The University regulations re quire that students expecting to graduate this year must pay their graduation fee of $10 before noon of June 6th. Money may be turn ed in at once to the cashier of the Administration building. June 6 is the latest possible date allowed for payment if the student’s name is to appear on the program. No student shall be recommend ed for a degree who has not com plied with those requirements, it has been announced by L. H. Johnson, comptroller. In the event the degree is not granted the fee will be refunded. additiomeTp be EXPLAINED BY COUNCIL Students Urged to Vote At Coming Election At a special meeting of the stu dent council called yesterday af ternoon it was decided to send speakers to the various campus clube and living organizations to explain thoroughly the proposed amendment to the constitution pro viding for a $5.00 fee addition for new campus buildings. In the opinion of the members of the council, many University stu dents do not fully understand the nature of the proposed amendment, and are not familiar with the cir cumstances which have led to the introduction of the amendment. Members of the council were unanimous in the belief that no at tempt should be made to coerce the student body into voting for the amendment. Accordingly, the ef forts of the council will be in formative in their nature, and will be carried out through the medium of speakers in the campus organi zations. The talks will be given during the first part of next week. It was decided to carry on an ac tive campaign urging the entire student body to visit the polls on election day that a representative opinion on the amendment may be obtained at that time. ilcCROSKY TO GIVE ORATION OVER OREGONIAN RADIO Benoit Mc.Crosky, winner of the state peace oratorical contest will deliver his oration from radio KGW, of the Morning Oregonian, on Friday ovening, May 15, at 8 o’clock.

Bill Poulsen, chairman, and his committee members, Jean Harper, Boy Bryson, Pauline Bondurant, and Beatrice Peters, havq arranged an attractive program of entertain ment. Some of those who arrived last night attended the Junior Vodvil and many more are expected to be present at this evening’s perform ance. This afternoon, the fathers will be entertained by a track meet at 2:00 and a baseball game follow ing.

Heicher, profes sor in the San Francisco Theologi- - cal Seminary, will give the ad dress. He is not unknown to Uni versity students as he was a tem porary pastor at the Congregation al church in Eugene last year. He originally came from Cedar Palls, Iowa, to Corvallis, where he was pastor of the First Presbyterian church for two year.s with an un usually large student following. For several years he was a missionary (Continued on page four) PINNEO-WOOTEN-WILSON act PROVES JUNIOR VOD-VIL HIT By Leon K. Byrne Before you read this review, re metnber that it is the opinion of one person, not the entire audience which witnessed the Junior Vod vil last night, and that the writ er’s tastes may differ from yours. You may disagree with him or you may agree, that is immaterial. This writing is supposed to servo more, or less as a basis of discussion. With that off our journalistic chest, what about the show? It is good, as vaudeville shows go. Bet ter than the vaudeville shows pro duced at local theatres, although not superior to the “best in the West” as the producers claim. The best number on the program? Take your pick. The Pi-id Pipers with their novelty offerings are by far the most professional, and the music they dispense is perfect—it jazz* may be called perfect. The Pinneo-Wooten-Wilson act, buries queing the show, the campus, and life in general, is truly an “alarm ing startleriient,” as its authors call it. I think the palm for the evening’s best laugh must be hand ed to Miss Pinneo—dear old Kate. She is a campus institution, and her act, prepared in one day to fill in the hole left by the failure of the Scriptures song and dance act to materialize, is “tarn” good. The Vod-vil is openei by a musi cal number by members of Alpha Xi Delta. They essay popular num bers, vocal and instrumental, done after the latest approved manner. They are good—for women. The last words uttered by Greene and Stewart in their dialogue, “Who Killed the Dead Pig?”, are, “You’re dumb.” Just so. The Pipers, with Bob Warner as sisting, come next on the bill. Their musi/ is exilerating, pacify ing, and seductive, all in one. War (Continued on page four)
