CONDON HALL FURNITURE ARRIVES FROM PORTLAND A carload of furniture for the new library in Condon hall arrived yesterday from Portland, and was transferred from the depot to the second floor of the building by the campus workmen. It includes ta bles, desks and chairs. Some of the furnishings for the psychology department, w%ich were obtained in Eugene, have also been taken to the science building. W. D. Smith Will Lead Hikers Over Old Jungle Trail Dr. Warren D. Smith, of the geol ogy department, is to lead the Maz ama hike from Cobnrg to Marcola next Sunday. This trip was post poned last term because of bad weather. The hikers will meet at the administration building at 8:30 Sunday morning, and take the bus to Coburg. From there they will journey over an old, forgotten trail to Marcola. Dr. Smith, who was over the route some years ago, declared that this locality is the nearest approach to a jungle he has ever seen in Oregon. Anything of geological interest which may be found will be explained by him. All those who go are requested to bring $1.60 for bus fare, ten cents for coffee, a tin cup, 'and lunch. The hikers will return on the bus from Mar cola. YEARLING SPRINTERS TO MEET FRANKLIN HIGH Oberteuffer Takes Charge Of Training Babes The freshman tracksters will swap abilities with an aggregation from Franklin high of ;Portland, Saturday, on Hayward field. The meet is scheduled to‘begin at 2:30 sharp. According to advanced dope the yearlings should take the preppers into camp by a sizable count. Jef ferson high of Portland won over the Franklinites by a good score and in last week-end’s meet, the frosh won' from Jefferson. Del Oberteuffer, famous varsity star athlete in the century dash and others, is taking the babes under his personal tutelege and is giving them individual instructions in how to get to the tape in advance of all opponents. His concentrated ef forts are put forth on. the young sprinters only. He is taking the place of Hayward as freshman track coach for this week as Bill will be with the varsity on its northern invasion. At one time the name of Ober teuffer was a by-word with cam pus followers of track. The time in which he and Ole Larson ran the century dash in a dead heat and were both clocked at 9.9 is one will eh all former students can well remember. Del declares that he has several fast men in the short distance sprints among them Wetzel, Wins low, Allen and Kuykendall in the 100 and 220 yard , dashes. Cooper seems to be the fastest half-miler no'w ift. frosh uniform, although several others are running a close second to him. Final announcement of the men who will represent Oregon in this meet have not been made and be cause several present aspirants may break into the lineup before the week is odt it will not be made until Friday. GUILD THEATRE PRODUCTION DEPICTS ORIENTAL MYSTERY By Raymond Lawrence All the splendor and romantic oriental mystery of Bagdad was in “Hassan,” the five-act drama by James Elroy Flecker, presented at Guild hall for the first time Thurs day night. Cast in a role of great dramatic power, Keddie probably far outdid anything else he has ever played at Guild hall. He was at once the simple confectioner of the Bagdad market place, the dreamer of dreams by night that men might learn to dream by day, the central figure in a passionate, dramatic situation. Those who have the slightest doubt that Guild hall can approach—and excel many—(profes sional productions will be disap pointed if they do not see “Hassan” tonight or tomorrow. Darrell Larsen, as the Caliph of Bagdad, was excellent. Clad in the majestic robes of the “ruler of th world,” he had all of the dignity, ruthless dominance and romantic (sensuousness of Haroun A1 Rashid of Arabian Nights story. Terva Hubbard has the flare which makes great actors. Not that he is now, but then—there is the future. His acting as Rafi, King of the Beggars, who plotted the overthrow of the Caliph, was better than one might have ex pected. To tell the story of the play would be to profane its marked literary quality. The lines contain that essential beauty of Oriental figure of speech, “a stress of fire and storm as well as a note of quiet meditation. Written by Flecker, who spent part of his life in Bag dad, the play was not published un 11 years after his death, whieh was about four years ago. It was first produced in London, where it was a big success, but in New York “Hassan” failed completely. If it could be produced on a large stage with adequate lighting and appro priate costumes, nothing could mar it as a dramatic spectacle. The play has been criticised be cause of its complicated construe 1 (Continued on page four) GALE DESCRIBES PROM SETTING Decorations to Carry Out Spirit of Medieval Ages During Period of Louis XI AFFAIR TO BE INFORMAL Meeting of Construction Committee is Scheduled For Today at Armory The spirit of the medieval ages in Trance will be carried out in every detail of the decorations for the Junior Prom this year. The various elements in the dec orative scheme will be so arranged as to give the effect of height and spaciousness characteristic of French chateaus during the time of Louis XI The prom will be one of the most elaborate affairs ever given ,on this Tcampus, according to the committee in charge. Every means possible will be used to car ry out the spirit of the period, and to give a setting typical of the French Gothic style. Hangings are Designed The colors used in the tapestries and hangings have been carefully worked out and will be typical of those in vogue during the fifteenth century. All of the hangings have been designed and dyed, and the cos tumes for the orchestra are being made now. The costumes are being made by the women’s organizations. The orchestra, dressed in cos tumes which might have been worn by attendants of a French lord, will not be seated on the stage. The stage will be decorated so that its identity will be lost. The pages and other attendants will also be garbed in costumes typical of the age. The feature, it is claimed, will be something very different from others previously given, and will be presented by campus talent. Pragram Well Under Way The sketch for the programs, de signed by Arthur Gale, decorations chairman, was sent to the printers some time ago; and the programs are now well under way. The members of the construction work, which consists of a repre sentative of each men’s house, are urged to come to the Armory at 4 o’clock this afternoon, Friday, in order that the organization of the construction may be effected. The tickets, under the direction of “Babe” Sherman, will probably be placed on sale this Saturday. A committee will be appointed to take charge of the tieket sale in the various fraternities. * The spirit of the prom this year, it was announced, will be informal; but the wearing of tuxedos will be optional. • Junior Prom tickets will be on sale at the men’s organizations and at the Co-op, Saturday morning. MONTGOMERY WARD MAY USE STUDENTS Owen Calloway, ’23, graddhte of the school of business administra tion, visited the department yester day as representative of Montgom ery Ward company of Portland, for the purpose of interviewing senior men in commerce regarding posi tions following their graduation in June. There are a number of prom inent. students who are interested in this work and they were inter viewed by Calloway yesterday. The number of men to be selected to work for the company is not known. It is a custom of several compan ies to send representatives annually to interview graduating business administration students and Mont gomery Ward company does this in variably every year. Other com panies who seek Oregon graduates for filling positions are the Stand ard oil company, and the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company. Both these corporations have sent representatives here this year. Calloway, who graduated in 1923, was one of the most prominent stu dents in the school of business ad ministration and he is now head of one of the Portland departments of the Montgomery Ward company. Joe Olson, a graduate in 1922, is an auditor for the same company at Oakland. California. National Militia Inspector Reviews Oregon R. O. T. C. Major General Creed C. Ham mond, chief of the militia bureau of the war department at Wash ington, D. C., was the disting uished guest at the weekly bat talion drill of the University R. O. T. C. unit yesterday afternoon. The regular parade ceremony was dispensed with, and the battalion was reviewed -by General Ham mond and Colonel W. S. Sinclair, commander of the local R. O. T. C. unit. General Hammond is on a tour of inspection of national guard camps and other military posts on the Pacific coast. His itiner ary will include Camp Lewfs, Portland, San Francisco and Eu gene. General Hammond’s visit here is especially interesting to Eugenians, in view of the fact that he was once a resident of this city, and connected with na tional guard affairs on the Paci fic coast. “The men of this unit are do ing remarkably good work, ex ceptional, in view of the little time devoted to R. O. T. C. work at state institutions,” said Gene ral Hammond, commenting on the review. The battalion revie'w ceremony yesterday is somewhat simpler than the regular battalion par ade, but it was the subject of much favorable comment from the large assemblage of students and townspeople who (witnessed the demonstration. The parade, with additional phases of the ceremony, will be put on in con nection with Junior Week-end. JUSTICEl™ HELD BASIS OF PEACE Attainment' Difficult Task; Says Red Cross Man So long as the world holds peace up merely as an ideal it cannot bo attained, according to Dr. T. E. J Green, member of the Staff Coun cil of the American National Bed Cross, in his address on “Building for Peace” at assembly yesterday. Like the conference of mice held to bell the cat, the speaker said, the “thundering majority” ip in favor of peace, but the. difficulty is how it is to be brought about. “There can not .be apy peace be tween nations, as between individ uals, that is not a righteous peaee,” Dr. Green declared. “We cannot have a peaee daubed up with oil and graft and selfishness and one that is not founded*©}! mercy and truth.” Dr. Green traced the, history of the Bed Cross from the conference at Geneva in 1864 when the nations of Europe met to attempt in some way to ameliorate the sufferings of war and to neutralize doctors, nurses and hospitals. The square cross of the Swiss flag was at that time adopted as the distinguishing symbol of the organization’s hu mane mission. It was the World War that brought the magnitude of the or ganization’s scope, the speaker explained, when nurses were train ed and sent abroad, and hospital supplies were made under the aus pices of the Bed Cross in every community. Even a junior organi zation was created. The speaker explained why the Bed Cross, unlike other war or ganizations, had not been disband ed. It could not, he said, because it had been organized by an in ternational treaty, which America signed in 1882. It is one factor which serves as a tie to bind this country to the rest of the world, Dr. Green said, since America belongs to no other international group, the League of Nations having become “a football of the politicians,” and since America is not even a member of the International Court. The Bed Cross, as a part of the government, has President Coolidge at its head, he explained,- and in the case of disasters, is called in as a branch of the government. It can carry on work only in territor ies covered by the international treaty. Gage Christopher, bass soloist from Los Angeles, sang “The Pro logue, from Pagliacci” in English, and two negro spiritual songs f TRUCKMEN LEAVE ON SEATTLE TRIP Bill Hayward and Sixteen Cinder Artists Enroute For Washington Meet HALF MILER NOT CHOSEN Husky Team Well Balanced Aggregation; Entrants Show Unusual Strength Sixteen Oregon trackman are leaving this morning for the dual hieet with Washington on May 16. Bill Hayward announced last night that they were all in condition with the exception of two who are still bothered with leg trouble. Bill will shape his 16 man team against the Huskies so that he can score the 'most points. The trio of sprinters, Extra, West erman and Flannagan, are meeting some of the fastest flashes on the coast in Clarke and Schroder of Washington. Clarke, the Husky crack 100 yard man has improved a lot since he was beaten by Oregon men last year. Extra will have his first opportunity to step out with out being handicapped by illness. Westerman, although troubled with ia bag leg, will probably make the hundred his big race. Close Race Promised The quarter mile promises to be the real clash of the afternoon with Big Jim Kinney pounding the cin ders in about the same time as Applegate for Washington is doing it. Applegate has a strong second placer in Wyers. Joe Price will be the second Oregon man in the event. The half milers haven’t been se lected by Hayward but they will probably be Gerke and Mauney, two men who have been running close races in tryouts. Charteriss, and Wyers of Washington have been clipping the half off at a pace well under two minutes. It is probable that the Oregon half mil ers, being pressed can run it under that. Henry Tetz is the entry in the mile. Tetz with a couple of years experience in the long race has de veloped into a strong runner, who before the season is over will come close to Glen Walkley’s time in the mile. He knows his race now and and although he is meeting some hard competition in Wilde of Washington who is credited, with running it in 4:25, Tetz will be run ning his first mile in condition and will probably do better than ever before. New Man in Mile The two mile will be taken care of by Tom Holder, new man on the squad this year, who has a world of endurance. He has been run ning the mile in previous races but he seems to be able to work his mile pace into the two mile as well. (Continued on page Tour) BETA GAMMA SIGMA INITIATES FIVE SUNDAY Beta Gamma Sigma, honorary commerce fraternity, initiated five prominent business administration majors into the local chapter Sun day. The men are: Maurice War nock, Clifford Snyder, Lionel Haight, Alvin Grimm, and Ken neth Stephenson. The initiation was Sunday after noon in the Woman’s building and a banquet was held immediately following at the Anchorage. Jack Rogers, president of Beta Gamma Sigma, reported on the convention of the national organization, which he attended at the start of the pres ent term. It was held at 8t. Louis, Missouri. There are fltteen active members of the local chapter of Beta Gam ma Sigma. Scholarship is the pri mary requisite for membership al though other qualifications such as leadership in activities constitutes a large consideration. No man may become a member who has ^failed any hours. During the past several terms, the organization has main tained a higher scholastic average than any other honorary fraternity on the campus. Various Articles From Pins to Pens Repose in Depot Be sure to pay a visit to the lost and found department at the University depot before the term is over. Your umbrella or foun tain pen is still patiently await ing its owner. Every day the lost ftnd found articles recruit new members to their force, but claimants for them are rather slow in appear ing. Just yesterday three gold pins and a barrette arrived in an en velope. Somebody has lost the evidence, shown by these pins, of honors bestowed upon her. Four umbrellas yesterday joined their multitude of sisters, hang ing in the big cupboard at the University post office until such time as they may be claimed. exiiktotFst ABILITY OF SWIMMERS Final Lifesaving Tryouts Set for May 28 | The final chancd for aspirants to 'become members of the local corps of tho American Red Cross Life [ Saving corps will be given at 4 o ’clock May 27 and 28. At this time the board of examiners consist ing of Rudolph Fahl, swimming in structor, Webster and Hobblitt, will be present. A man taking the test cannot be 'declared a member of the corps un less he makes a showing which the examiners think verify his ability I to save lives in case of emergencies | or otherwise. The desirability of the students to take advantage of this free in struction is shown by the large num ber who have signed up for the test. According to Fahl the num ber of interested students is increas ing yearly. A case of the ability of a student taking this instruction to use it was shown a few weeks ago when several people were brought to safety after becoming anchored on an island just above the head of the mill race. The Btudents who have signified their intention of taking the life saving test and who have put in part of their Bix hour preliminary training are: D. R. Woodward, Adrian French, Arlington Crumb, Ted Hendry, Dwight Hedges, Ed ward Sommer, Lee M. Brown, Car vel Nelson, T. Graham, Bachman, Swigart, R. S. Henagin, Don Adams, R. Gledhill, Merlin Swarthout, and George Dodds., In case any other students are interested in taking this test they should make arrange ments with Fahl for preliminary practices and instruction. Free instructions are given daily in the pool in the men’s gymnasium. The following men are instructors: Lamont Stone, Monday at 11; L. Hobblitt, Monday at 2:30 to 3:30; E. D.
