Students Requested
To Fill Out Cards
For Alumni Files
Seniors! Questionnaires for the.,
alumni files must be filled out
this week! “It is important that
they be filed here,” said Jean

seniors are automatic members of
the alumni association, following
the action taken recently by the
elass as a whole.”
Each member of the class of
’25, is entitled to a year’s sub
scription to “Old Oregon,” but
unless the questionnaires are
filled out, there will be no way
of sending the alumni magazine
to them. The cards are both in
the alumni office, and, for the
convenience of seniors, at Grace
Murfin’s window in the Kegis
trar’s office.
VARSITY BALL SQUAD
Til BEGIN ROAD TRIP
First Game to Be Played
With Huskie Nin§
The Oregon baseball squad leaves
it 11:10 today on its northern
invasion. An attempt will be made
to swing into the lead of the north
west conference standings by win
ning the four games on the road
trip. The initial contest will be
played Wednesday, against the
iangerous Washington nine at Se
ittle.
The complete schedule for the
week is as follows: Wednesday,
University of Washington; Thurs
lay, Washington State; Friday, Ida
iio, and on Saturday, Whitman col
lege, the final game of the trip.
Prom present indications, the var
sity will meet its stiffest competi
tion against the Idaho and Wash
ington nines, both of these teams
iaving previously defeated Oregon
this year.
Thirteen players will make up the
invading squad, which includes,
Bliss and Mimnaugh, catchers;
Brooks, Harrison and Williams,
pitchers; Adolph, first; Hobson,
second; West, short; Cook, third;
Knudson, Wright, Eeinhart, and
Tones, field.
The Oregon-O. A. C. game sched
uled for last Saturday was indefin
itely postponed on account of the
weather, however, upon the return
if the team from the north, a date
will be arranged for the playing
if this contest.
Oregon now stands with five
wins and two defeats, and a good
record on the trip will greatly aid
the varsity in swinging into the
lead.
SHERIFF OF LINCOLN COUNTY
CHAPERONES OREGON STUDENTS
«
Interesting tales are still coming
to the ears concerning the coast
trip of the biology class.
A puncture on the way down was
at first attributed to the heavy wit
on the back seat, but the accused
were fully exonerated later when a
file was found in the inner tube.
Three cabins held the crowd—
All Inn was the girls’, Wait-Till-i
Cum-Inn the boys’, and Aspirin the
general cabin where meals were
served.
“We had to get up first, build
the fires, and then serenade the
boys to get them up,” declared the
girls, “but they worked well onde
they got up. We arose at four
o’clock and gathered specimens un
til ten o’clock, when the tide came
in. After that we played.”
Eecreation in Newport is well
chaperoned, as four members of the
group, who were accompanied on a
moonlight walk, by the sheriff, can
testify. For further details in
quire of Ralph Highmiller.
Skating both at the rink and on
the slimy rocks was indulged in
by most everyone. “Isn’t this
striking?” exclaimed May, viewing
the scenery. Just then Blondel
Carleton slipped and sat on some
sharp rocks. “Yes, I’ll say so,”
he replied pleasantly.
Pearl fishing was tried by a few
of the more daring.
It seems that May Borquist saw
a gleaming, pearly object just un
der the edge of fhe rock, and, de
termining to have it, waded in over
her boot tops and plunged her arm
in up to her shoulder, but failed
to reach it. Blondel came to her
assistance, aided by six others who
gave directions simultaneously from
the top of a rock. Finally Blondel
plunged in, overturned the rock,
grasped the shining object, and
drew forth—a worn off mussel
shell.
Glenn Burch, prominent campus
journalist, was made official jester
of the expedition. It is reported
that he is an excellent cook, and
has a unique method of baking pan
cakes, which is to turn the cake and
then beat it vigorously. “It is the
; best way to bake them brown,” he
| asserts.
I Bill Hamilton caught his foot in
! a crevice while climbing about the
rocks, and had to take off his shoe
to release his foot. He now recom
mends dynamite as part of every
camp equipment.
No casualties occurred except to
the star fish, sea urchins, anemopes,
et cetera, which now repose in jars
of mixtures in the smelly depths of
Deady.

abroad with the American Expedi
tionary forces. At the close of the
war he returned to his playing and
Iris success as a concert artist has

Campbell Here Before
Mr. Campbell studied with Ru
dolph Ganz and the master said of
his pupil: “He has a great public
gift and surely will go far in the
world of music.”
Mr. Campbell’s last appearance
on this campus was two years ago
when he played a piano concerto

UTS TO MERGE
Three , Departments Plan
To Combine in Producing
Colorful Event, May 27
ORCHESTRA TO ASSIST
Members of Orchesus to
Supply Leads in Mardi
Gras and Lake of Swans
The combined talent of the music,
art and physical education depart
ments will be commandeered for
the production of a Dance Drama
this year which, on the strength
of its rehearsals, promises to be
one of the most spectacular events
of the college year. The date set
is May 27.
In previous years the Dance
Drama has been produced by the
physical education department
alone. This year will be the first
attempt to correlate three of the
arts in their various modes of ex
pression into one production plan
ned on a proportionately larger
and more elaborate scale.
Orchestra Already Rehearsing
Rex Underwood’s orchestra which
is now rehearsing the special music
which will accompany the dancers,
will represent the music depart
ment. Professor N. B. Zane of the
art department, who directed the
designing and painting of the col
orful scenery for ,the recent pro
duction of Hassan, ^as begun work
on the Oriental scenery for “A
Night’s Mardi Gras,” one of the
three intervals of the drama.
The costumes of the dancers are
being designed and made under
the direction of Miss Victoria Ava
kian, instructor in costume design
ing in the art department. The
booth tenders who call their wares,
the flower girl, the Russian peas
ant and the shifting mob of light
hearted masqueraders who become
a blaze of blended color under the
swinging lights of the Eastern ba
zaar, will owe their brilliance to
the class in costume design.
Art department uooperates
Art department treasures are
also being loaned for the occasion.
Laces, bright scarfs and valued an
tique pottery have been promised
for the Mardi Gras scene. The col
lection of rugs and jewels and
other stage properties for this act
has been in progress for some time.
Orchesus, an honorary dancing
organization on the campus, will
furnish much of the talent for the
dance work in the Drama. The
title roles in both “A Night’s
j Mardi Gras” and “The Lake of
the Swans” are being filled by
members of this advanced dancing
group.
Jury day in the art department
this term has been set for May 27
in order to coincide with the date
of the Dance Drama. This pro
duction will be the feature of the
entertainment planned for out-of
town patrons of art who are at
tracted to the campus each year by
the activities of these three de
parments.
Flots Are Symbolic
The underlying symbolism of the
plots is a quality which marks
both dramatic intervals being plan
ned for the Dance Drama. The im
pulsive Pierrette, gay as the thistle
down in a wind-blown field, loves
pleasure—the effervescent pleasure
of the hour. The jewels and silks
and laces of the rich merahant in
toxicate her. She thrills at the
glitter of the gems, the sheen of
silk. She must have the glamor of
lights and music and revel.
But there is Pierrot. He does
not care for the lights and the
baubles of the hour. His pleasures
are deeper, more lasting. Pier
rette loves Pierrot. Prom the mo
ment they meet in the Mardi Gras
crowd it is a struggle between Pier
rot ’s love and the glitter of the
artificial and empty. Pierrot and
Pierrette represent the two types
of pleasure men seek in the world
—the pleasure of the senses and
the pleasure of the soul.
Tickets for the Dance Drama
are on sale at Lara way’s and the
Co-op. There will be a limited
number of reserved seats.

FOUR DAYS REMAIN
TO COMPLETE CANOES
All houses are urged to work
on their floats as much as possi
ble within the next couple of days,
for there are only four more days
in which to complete them, ac
cording to the announcement made
by the canoe fete chairman yester
day. .
The floats must be in the mill
race, and in the order in which they
are to pass the bleachers, by 6
o 'clock on Friday. This is impera
tive, it was stated, in order that
the program may be carried out
as it was originally planned.
Geneva Smith, who is in charge
of the ticket sale, has placed them
on sale at the Co-op; and she re
ports that they are selling rapidly.
All students are asked to buy them
immediately, for at the present rate
of disposal they will bo completely
sold by Wednesday. Tickets for
the bleachers are GO cents. Tickets
for the town people are on sale at
Kuykendall’s drug store down
town.
Betty Rauch, chairman of the
feature committee for the fete, an
nounced that the Pi-id Pipers, who
have been engaged to play during
the campus luncheon, will also fur
j nish the music for the fete. A
barge will be anchored across the
race from the bleachers for the or
chestra and for the Barber’s quar
tette, which will furnish several
selections during the fete. The
orchestra will begin playing at 7
o’clock, so there will be music be
fore the fete begins. A special
spot light will be thrown upon the
barge.
Students Should Have
$2.00 Ready. Few
Extra Copies
Oreganas will be distributed to
day at the student union campaign
shack across from the library, from
8:30 until 4:30. To facilitate dis
tribution, students are urged to
have checks made out before hand,
payable to the 1925 Oregana, and
to form in an orderly line on the
sidewalk.
It will not be necessary to pre
sent receipts, says Ken Stephen
son, circulation manager, since a
complete index has been made of
all subscriptions and the amount
paid. The amount deposited on the
book at the time of the drive last
January was $2.00. $2.50 more will
have to be paid before the Ore
ganas will be issued.
Students are urged to deposit the
wrapper on the book in a box be
side the building, in order that the
campus will not be littered up with
papers. A few extra copies are
available for those who did not or
der in advance.
Augusta DeWitt, editor of the
Oregana, is very pleased to get it
out in such good time. She at
tributes this to the splendid co
operation of all the staff who have
worked hard and faithfully.
The total circulation this year
is 1700, the largest edition ever
published, and 200 more than last
year. About 800 Oreganas are on
hand now and more will be down
today.
One of the features of the book"
is the paper used. It is a “natural”
shade, or cream-color. The print
ing was done by Dimm & Sons,
Portland, Oregon, the engraving by
Hicks, Chatten Engraving company,
and covers by Molloy and company,
Chicago. Much of the success of
the year-book is due to the co
operation given by these firms.
In case the weather is stormy the
book will be distributed in the Ad
ministration building.

BOARD TAKES UP CASE
Arguments Heard in Clash
Between Institutions on
Duplication of Effort
Portland, May 18.—(Special to
the Emerald)—The Oregon Agricul
tural college, through Dr. M. E.
Smith, dean of the school of basic
arts and sciences, made the follow
ing concessions today at the for
mal hearing before the board of
higher curricula:
I. O. A. C. agrees not to offer
a bachelor’s degree in the school of
basic arts and sciences.
II. It will offer no major work
in this school, its courses serving
only as service courses.
III. In history or modern lan
guages or English, no student at O.
A. C. may present more than 27
hours towards a degree, except that
in the latter subject an additional
nine hours may be permitted in
written English.
Oregon and O. A. C. reached an
understanding on work in the
school of basic arts and sciences in
the college following a conference
between Dean Colin V. Dyment of
the University college of literature,
science and the arts, and Dean
Smith. The University has pro
tested advanced courses which O. A.
C. had presented to the board of
higher curricula. Protests were
lodged also against duplication of
courses by O. A. C. in education,
physical education, journalism, mus
ic, and business administration.
Executive Session Called
After hearing arguments by
spokesmen from both institutions,
Chairman C. J. Smith announced
late this afternoon that the board
will go into executive session. There
will be no further public sessions,
unless the board so decides. Other
members of the board of higher cur
ricula are C. A. Brand of Roseburg,
J. C. Hedges of Oregon City, Rabbi
Jonah B. Wise of Portland, and C.
J. Beale of Tillamook.
The University was represented
on the floor at the hearing today
by Dean H. D. Sheldon, Dean E. C.
Robbins, Dean Eric W. Allen, and
Dean Dyment. Short statements
were made also by Regents Ger
linger and Gordon.

Portland, May 18.—Represnta
tives of the University of Oregon
and the Oregon Agricultural college
appeared before the state board of
higher curricula today and argued
the question of duplication of
courses at the two institutions of
higher learning. Under ruling of
Dr. C. J. Smith, chairman of the
board, the case is to be taken un
der advisement.
The case came up before the
board on the request of the Univer

COLONEL LEADER RETURNS
TO CAMPUS FOR WEEK-END
“Next year I’m coming out from
London by zeppelin for Junior
week-end,” declared Colonel Jolm
Leader, thrusting his thumbs into
the pockets of his lemon-yellow
sweater. The colonel arrived Sat
urday from Victoria to remain in
Eugene until after Junior week-end.
Colonel Leader expects to leave
in August for England, where ho
is buying the house in Huntingdon
shire from which his family emi- |
grated to Ireland in 1665, but he
says he will be out every spring
for Junior week-end.
“The house still has the moat
we captured in the War of the
Roses from the Beauchamps in
fourteen hundred something,” said
the Colonel, and went on to tell
how the recent occupants of the
house have installed electricity, a
central furnace system, and four
bath rooms. “Must have been
Americans,” he smiled. “The four
baths, you know—a quaint change
in a medieval castle with a port
cullis and bastions.”
“I have been pressing for war
between England the United States
in hope of getting the movie rights
—marching under the banner ‘For
God and Booze,’ ” chuckled the Col
onel; and then, more seriously,
“Judge Partridge is a hero to all
respectable people in Canada—
everyone was delighted with the
stiff sentences served out in Cali
fornia to the rum runners from
Canada.
“Nobody would believe the dif
ference in American and Canadian
towns. Drunkenness is rampant
under government license.”
Since his last visit to Oregon,
Colonel Leader has written a sce
nario fthe one for which he hopes
