VOLUME XXVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1925 ,<V ✓ NUMBER 135 CAMPUS AWAITS JUNIOR FESTIVAL Students Advised to Buy Tickets for Canoe Fete At Co-op Store at Once FLOATS ARE UNDERWAY All-Campus Affair Ruling; Guests are Barred From Taking Part in Week-end Tickets for the canoe fete are nearly sold, and those who desire reserved seats should purchase them immediately. This is the warning issued by those in charge of the ticket sale. The same ruling to the effect that there are to be no guests dur ing Junior Week-end, which was adopted last year, will also be in force this year. Last year it was decided to make the Week-end an all-campus affair. Houses Show Enthusiasm All of the houses have been show ing % great deal of enthusiasm and have entered into the work with an •excellent spirit, according to a re port made by Clarence Toole, •chairman of the canoe fete, yester day. The floats are all nearly com pleted. The frames have been con structed, and the balance of the time, in most cases, is being spent in painting and giving the floats the finishing touches. The overhanging brush and trees along the race have been removed ,or trimmed, so that it will be pos sible for the floats to pass down the race without experiencing any difficulty. Spot Lights Secured The lighting committee has se cured the spot lights as well as the lights which will be used under neath .the water and at the foot of the bleachers. Installation of them will be made soon in order that they may be tested before the fete. Students desiring reserved seats may purchase them at the Co-op store; and the tickets for people living in Eugene are on sale at Kuykendall’s drug store down town. The sale of tickets for the town people will also close soon, because the limited number of them set aside is being disposed of rap idly. STUDENTS ASKED TO GIVE CLOTHING FOR NEAR EAST Today is Bundle Day. Students are urged to look through closets and trunks for discarded winter clothing to contribute to the Near East relief. The committee asks for warm clothing, such as heavy coats^ woolen dresses and suits. Everything that is necessary in a cool country is desirable. However, no shoes will be wanted, since the National Retail Shoe Dealers’ as sociation has given enough shoes to supply next winter’s |demand. The T. W. C. A. bungalow and the Y. M. C. A. hut have been made campus headquarters for contribu tions. * Dean Straub Has Many Invitations to Give Addresses John Straub, dean of men, has received 17 invitations to deliv er commencement addresses this year. Because of conflicting en gagements, he has been able to accept only a few of these. On Thursday, May 21, he will deliver an address near Grants Pass. The following Wednesday he will speak before The Dalles high school graduating class. For est Grove high school will hear him next on Friday, May 29, and on June 12, the Dean will speak to the Eugene high school. CONCERT TO BE GIVEN BY DIVIO CAMPBELL Phi Mu Alpha to Sponsor Recital of Artist Of interest to all the campus as well as music lovers is the concert to be given tonight by David Campbell, head of the piano depart ment of Ellison-White conservatory. The program will be given at the music auditorium at 8:15. Mr. Campbell is not a new visi tor to the campus and will be wel comed by the many who heard him play during his visit two years ago, as well as those who are to hear him for the first time. He is recognized as one of the artists of today and his convincing personal ity, his rhythmic gift and musical intelligence combine to make his program a pleasing one. Mr. Campbell has made a num ber of successful appearances in Europe and has had a steadily growing success as a concert artist here. As an artist he is praised for his strength as well as delicacy in his interpretation. His program for tonight is an interesting one. In his first group, of Brahms numbers, there is a striking con trast from the Rhapsody in G min or and the Capricco Op. 116, Ho. 3, to the deeply poetic quality of the Intermezzo Op. 117, No. 1. This is followed by the Waldstein Son ata Op. 53, a work belcjpging to the second period of Beethoven’s ca reer, and showing the strength of a master arrived at maturity. On ac count of its brilliance, especially in the first movement, it is often referred to as “Northern Lights,” and is a concept that .the artistry of Mr. Campbell’s playing carries out to its fullest extent, in all its rapid rhythms. A Chopin group, the Nocturne in B major, and the ever popular Polonaise ^n A flat major, give opportunity for versa tility of interpretation in conjunc tion with technical command of re sources of the instrument. The concert is being sponsored by Phi Mu Alpha, men’s national music fraternity. Tickets are on sale at the school of music, the Co op and Laraways Music Shop. SECOND LECTURE ON RADIO WILL BE GIVEN TONIGHT The second lecture on “Radio” will be the subject for the meeting of the Technical club, to be held tonight, room 105, Deady. Paul R. Hoppe will give the paper. FAITHFUL EMPLOYEE TO LEAVE FOR OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA SOON The University of Oregon will lose a man who has worked faith fully for it during the past 17 years, when H. M. Fisher; superin tendent of grounds, leaves for Oak land, California, in July. * Mr. Fisher came to Oregon in the spring of 1908, when there were only about 400 students at the Uni versity. “The campus was very small then,” he said. “The only buildings were Deady_ Villard and McClure halls, the men’s gymnas ium, and what is now the sociology building. We had very little lawn at first, and practically no shrubs. However, during the first year I was here, the library, the Extension building^ and Spiller . hall were completed.” Mr. Fisher first serve4 in vari ous capacities, such as mail clerk, on the campus. The second year of his sojourn, he was appointed sup erintendent of grounds, and has held the position continuously since / that time. “The work is quite similar now to what it was when I first came,” he said, “onlj^ of course, there is more of it, and it is very much more complicated. There has been a great deal of planning of grounds to do as new buildings have been completed. In fslct, we thave planned most of the grounds since I came here. Practically all the lawn, shrubs, and flowers have been set out in recent years, also.” Mr. Fisher now has about 50 persons working under him on the campus. These include the garden ers, janitors, watchman, engineers, electrician, plumber, and many others. “I have enjoyed my work at the University of Oregon more than I can tell you,” declared Mr. Fisher. “It is just like home to "me. My association with the students and faculty has been most agreeable, and I have many friends here. TO OPEN TODAY Girls Acquire Proficiency In Principles of Game; Teams Look Promising SCHEDULE IS COMPLETE Scientific Aspect of Sport Will Receive Attention During Class Contests Hockey season for women will have its official opening today when the junior and senior teams dispute the honors of the field in what promises to be a lively combat. The degree of skill with which the girls handle their sticks cou pled with their knowledge of the fundamentals of the game promises something out of the ordinary is a sport which is just beginning to gain recognition in this country. The use of individual tactics is be ing studied with enthusiasm and ef forts have been concentrated toward the development of team play. Now that a thorough ground ing in the basic principles of hock ey has been acquired, these women are prepared to give careful atten tion to the scientific factors of the game. The “wandering player,” one who leaves her especial position on the field thus weakening the attacking power of her team, is recognized as an enemy by the other players( and is rapidly disappearing before the onslaught of conscientious prac tice. The possibility of rivaling the English players at this sport is not, of course, a consideration, since association of England with hockey is as established as that of Ameri ca with baseball. The completed schedule for class hockey is as follows: May 20, jun iors-seniors. May 25, juniors-fresh men. May 27; freshmen-sopho mores. May 29, juniors-sophomorel. June 1, seniors-freshmen. June 3, seniors-sophomores. Class line-ups for the four teams (Continued on page three) MIRE LEAVES TODAY TO SPEAR AT STANFORE In order to compete in one of the two big oratorical contests which Oregon has entered, Jack McGuire will leave today noon for Palo Al to, California, where he will repre sent the University in the semi finals of the national oratorical contest at Stanford university, Fri day night.

The entire number on hand yesterday was 900 but so great was the rush that these were all distributed by 1:30. As a warning to those who will appear for their Oreganas Thurs ’•'y, and as a compliment to the vireganaj it may be said that someone was so interested in their Oregana that they forgot their fountain pen and umbrella.

Chairman Asks Juniors To Assist In Decorating NETMEN TO FREE BEARCATS TODAY Salemites are Expected to Give Oregon Tennis Team Fight for Honors AGGIES NEXT OPPONENTS By Dick Syring The University of Oregon tennis team will face the Willamette Bear cats^on the loeal courts this after noon at 2:30, in the third intercol legiato tennis meet of the year. The Salemites always have a good tennis team and should give the Webfooters a real meet. The Bearcats have been beaten by the Oregon Aggies and Washington Huskies in the first two meets of their season, but are working hard to beat the varsity. The three men from Willamette who will face the Oregon netmen are: Bill Wallace, Ted Emmel and Hale Mickey. All three are, experi enced tennis players. Oregon Lineup Chosen The Oregon line-up will be prac tically the same as used in the pre vious meets. Harry Mleye.r, cap tain, Boy Okerberg and Bill Adams are the three racquet wielders who will face Willamette in the singles. The doubles team will be composed of Mead and Meyer; Okerberg and Hayden. Bad weathej last Saturday made it necessary to postpone the Uni versity of Washington meet until Thursday, May 28. The Huskies, on a tour of the Willamette valley, met the Willamette Bearcats and the Oregon Aggies, coming to Eu gene last Saturday with a clean slate. They "undoubtedly will be one of the hardest contenders in the Pacific coast meet. Hesketh, a member of their team, is a nation ally known player. Aggies Play Saturday After the Willamette meet, the next opponent of the varsity will be the Oregon Aggies who come to Eugene next Saturday in a return meet. In the first meet the Web footers were victorious 4 to 3, but the Aggies can be counted on try ing to make a comeback. The week-end of May 28, 29, and 30, will see the varsity netmen in Seattle. On Thursday, May 28, the postponed meet with the Huskies will be held and on May 29 and 30, the team will enter the Pacific Coast championship meet. The best teams of the coast will be repre sented in this meet but the local team is expected to make a good showing. LAST RECITAL GIVEN Last Sunday afternoon -at the | school of music, an enthusiastic | audience listened to Alberta Pot ! ter’s farewell recital. Miss Potter was assisted by Aurora Potter Un derwood at the piano. Miss Potter evidenced a brilliant, sure and facile technique which was a joy to all who listened. An ap pealing tone coupled with her charming stage appearance, made her performance a great pleasure to her appreciative audience. In addition to playing a beauti ful accompaniment, Aurora Potter Underwood did some tremendously effective work in the Schutt Suite I for Violin and Piano which opened the program. In addition to this I Mrs. Underwood played several so los ending the program with a bril | liant performance of the Hungar ian Rhapsody, No. 12 by Liszt. Mrs. Underwood responded by play ing for her ene«re a Waltz by Le vitzki. Miss Alberta Potter leaves the campus in September for Alabama. The following program was given: 1. Suite for Violin and Piano.... .Schutt Miss Potter and Mrs. Underwood 2. L’Amulette .Moffat (Continued on page three) Faust and Dipple Are Leads in Prom’s Main Feature “All members of the junior class are requested to come to the Ar mory this afternoon to assist in the decorations for the Prom, which will be held Saturday evening,” Fred Martin, chairman of the con struction committee, said yester day. There will be work for both men and women, and as there will be some one there to supervise the work all afternoon, juniors are asked to come at any time that will be convenient for them. “The more the better,” was the expres sion of Martin. Stenciling and painting will be the chief work, although there will be other things to do for- those who prefer something else. In addition, the columns, under the. direction of Ben Jordan, will be worked on this afternoon. As it is necessary that all of the work of this nature should be completed as early as possible, the committees in charge ask that every junior ap pear at the Armory today. All of the women’s organizations are urged to cooperate with Mil dred Bateman, who has been placed in charge of the sewing of the canopies for the ceiling. There will be a number of electric sewing machines at the Armory, and there w-ill be sufficient sewing for any girl who cares to do it, was the statement made. If it is impossible for a junior woman to come today, she Should send a substitute, it was said. As there is a large amount of sewing to be Sone, the women are asked especially to help. The costumes for the Prom are being done under the supervision of Imogene Lewis and Dorothy Myers. This includes the costumes for the pages, orchestra, and other special costumes, which are repre sentations of the garments worn during the period of Louis XI. The stage will be devoted ex clusively to the feature: and the orchestra, instead of being seated on the stage, will have a special pavilion elsewhere in the hall. The drapes on the stage will be of soft colors which will make a pleasing background for the feature. “The feature, which has been ar ranged by Delbert Faust, who is well-known in Eugene as a profes sional dancer, is based on the motif suggested by a wandering group of minstrels,” said Arthur Gale, dec orations chairman. • Edna Dipple has been acting as assistant in the direction of the bal let. Both she and Faust will take the leads in it. This ballet, which is made up of campus talent, has been having frequent rehearsals during the past several weeks. The arrangement and technioue of it it was revealed, are suggestive of the spirit of the time's upon which the decorations for the Prom, the closing event of Junior Week-end, have been based. NEW SCIENCE BUILDING READY FOR CLASSES Large, well lighted rooms, plenty of them, filled, with the clean smell of fresh plaster and paint, This is the impression one receives when penetrating the basement of Condon hall, the new home of the geology department. There are many, many windows, ample lab oratory room, and, best of all shelves and cupboards and built-in trays to house the collections be longing to the department. A part of the geology 'depart ment has moved in already. Dr Edwin T. Hodge, professor of econ omic geology, has transferred his office to thS new building and the courses in mineralogy and petro graphv are moving in also. At present the few students and ample room presents an interesting contrast to the crowded condition seen in their former quarters. As j to Quartz hall, its inhabitants arc [fewer and farther between, but they 1 still seem busy as usual. And as ! for those who have gone into Con don hall . . . well, you know hott ; it is when one has just moved! They are immensely busy straight ening up and getting things in run ning order. I OREGON RUNNER OUT WITH GRIPPE c — Walt Kelsey, Hurdler and Jumper of High Calibre, Not to Enter Aggie Meet WEIGHT TRYOUTS TODAY Westerman, Extra Overcome Leg Injuries; Sprinters Show Real Improvement The third big jolt which the var sity track team has had this season was announced last night when Walt Kelsey ^ Oregon’s premier performer in the hurdles and vari ous other events, was confined in the infirmary with a severe case of la grippe. It is doubtful wheth er he will be able to compete in the big meet of the season this week-end against O. A. C. on Hay ward field. First, Harry Holt, the fastest man out in the sprints, was found to be ineligible. Then "Tiny” Johnson, a sure point winner in the shot and discus was put out of con dition by illness so that he is out for the rest of the season. And last comes the illness of Walt Kel sey at a crucial time. If he re covers this week he will probably not be in condition to compete. Four Left in Hurdles This shake up in the squad puts the burden of tho hurdle races on Francis Cleaver, Dick Carruthers, Ralph Tuck and Ralph Staley. Cleaver has completely recovered from his injury of last year and won the high stick event from Augustine in the Washington dual meet. Incidentally Cleaver made the fastest time made by an Ore gon man on Hayward field last year by running the highs in 15:2. Carruthers got off to a bad start in the Stanford meet but has improved since then. Tuck and Staley, both former freshmen hurdlers will prob ably be entered—Tuck in the high hurdles and Staley in the low hur dles. How they will show up is doubtful. Walt Kelsey proved his value to the team in the two dual meets this year by winning nine points in each. His absence will make a hole in the team that is going to be hard to fill. Besides entering both hurdle races he competes in the broad jump, high jump and pole vault, and has made a good second place man to the regulars in these events. Team Returns from Trip The team has been working easily for the first two days of the week and recovering from the trip north. The fine weather on Hayward field has helped training a great deal. The team has just about reached the peak of condition. The sprints were bolstered up last night when Westerman worked out without being bothered by his legs. If ho can keep his present condi tion he should be going better than ever in the coming meet. The handicap of a bad leg has prevented him from showing the fine sprint ing he did when a freshman. Proc. Flannngan is showing a lot of good stuff in the sprints. Jerry Extra has been bothered with a pulled muscle which probably isn’t serious enough to keer^ him out of the meet. Tryouts will be held this after noon for the discus and shot. Four men are competing in the two events. Mautz, Rtockwell Moore and Kelly. Also a challenge race will be run by Tuck and Carruthers in tho high hurdles. SIGMA XI WILL INITIATE NEW MEMBERS FRIDAY Sigma Xi, national honorary sci entific fraternity, will hold initia tion of ntpv members and election of officers at the meeting to b8 held in Deady hall, Friday evening^ at five o ’clock. Dr. O. F. Stafford, president of the local chapter, will preside over the business meeting. A banquet will ba held at the Anchorage following the business session. Dr. R. H- Wheeler, psych ology professor, will be the speak er for the evening on the subject, “Problems of Science.”
