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.

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. He will speak on the
constitution. The Tri-State con
test will be held Friday night of
this week, at Seattle.
McGuire’s oration on the consti
tution was selected by prominent
teachers of oratorio in America’s
leading institutions of higher learn
ing together with six other manu
scripts submitted from among the
schools in the Pacific region. There
are eight states in this region, and
most colleges in them submitted
manuscripts to the national head
quarters at Washington, D. C.
Three girls and four men will
compete on May 22, at Stanford.
The winner in this contest becomes
one of the national finalists and
I automatically becomes entitled to
'■ one of the final awards, ranging
from $2,000 to $3,000, the seven to
taling $5,000. National finals will
| be held at Los Angeles on June 5.
“Although the best orators from
the seven schools represented will
speak, we are confident,” said Os
I car A. Brown yesterday, “that Mc
Guire is fitted to make a credit
able showing at the contest at Stan
i ford, Friday.”

The entire number on hand
yesterday was 900 but so great
was the rush that these were
all distributed by 1:30.

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.

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.

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.”
