SPORTS CLAIM INTEREST
The movement to abolish dough
nut competition in women’s sports,
in that it indicates a new attitude
of “sport for sport’s sake” on the
part of Oregon women, has been one
of the outstanding achievements oi
the past year.
In reviewing the sports activities
of the closing year, Maude Schroed
er, president of W. A. A. said, “The
interest this year has centered
around tennis and other individual
sports rather than grpup games.
People like to play the games they
will continue in the summer.”
Hiking is Unsuccessful
Hiking, as a W. A. A. sport, has
not been successful. It may be re
placed by rifle shooting. A reso
lution to allow points on the lat
ter sport has already passed the
council and will go into effect next
year upon a favorable vote of a
"W. A. A. mass meeting.
The Life Saving corps is a new
activity in the field of women’s
sports introduced for the first time
this year. Vaccination made im
possible a demonstration planned for
the winter term. This orgnaization
of expert swimmers has held week
ly practices in preparation for Mas
ter’s life saving examination and
master’s swimming tests conducted
by the National Swimming Instruc
tor’s Association of Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania. Miss Barbara Page,
who is a membe rof the latter 'or

work. Elizabeth Lounsbury is the
only woman on the campus to suc

Albert Award Tribute to
Girl’s Spirit
ACTIVITY LIST LARGE
By Pauline Bondurant
Mary Jane Hathaway has added
one more laurel to her wreath,
which, by the way, is getting to be
quite huge. The new laurel is the
Albert award, a cup given to the
most worthy member of the senior
class. When told of this new honor,
Mary Jane hardly knew what to
say.
Mary Jane’s secret of success has
been her enthusiasm, her sparkling
zest for everything that she does.
She is carried away by the spirit
of each enterprise that she under
takes. She has always laid stress
upon activities, and has considered
the time and effort that she has
WOMEN’S GAITY, MEN’S EJECTION
LEADING FEATURES OF FROLIC
By Geneva Foss
Two men madly rushing for the
door, a riot of color, and a spirit of
friendliness and gaiety entered into
by both students and faculty—these
were the outstaying features of
April Frolic, the annual all-wom
en’s affair sponsored by the Wom
en’s League. The Frolic was held
in the Woman’s building April 11,
with Doris Brophy as general
chairman.
In order to promote the friendli
ness of the women on the campus,
and to make the Frolic a real play
time, the cost of the stunts was
limited, thereby eliminating the ele
ment of competition. Gamma Phi
Beta was awarded the cup for the
best stunt, “Jabberwack Jingaree,”
which was a representation of
“Alice in Wonderland.” Alice, the
Duchess, the White Babbit, as well
as the other famous characters
were all included in the act which
closed with “Mad Hatter Blues,”
sung by the Mad Hatter chorus.
“Memory Land,” presented by
Delta Gamma, received honorable
mention. It showed the memory
book of an Oregon co-ed, the pages
of which represented Homecoming,
the Senior Ball, Prosh Glee and the

spent in such a manner to have
been exceedingly worth while.
She represented Phi Chi Theta at
the national convention held in Chi
cago. She was also president of the
organization, besides being elected
president of heads of houses. She
has been vice-president of W. A. A.,
a member of the special gifts com
mittee for the Student Union drive,
manager of the class formal in her
sophomore year, head of the Wom
en’s League convention held here
recently, and a participant on all
the homcoming committees since she
entered college.
Her list of achievements is
varied. They range from doughnut
sports to executive councils, and
they all brand Mary Jane as an
“all around Oregon girl.”
CAREER BEGUN WITH $5

We recommend for the collegiate
hall of fame the girl who came to
Oregon with five dollars and no
prospects of a job. She made it and

ELOISE BUCK
Poise and Leadership Are
Given Recognition
WORKED WITH Y. W. C. A.
By Mary Clerin
Poise and leadership are two of
the many qualities attributed to
Eloise Buck, winner of the Gerlinger
cup as the most outstanding and
all-around junior woman on the cam
pus this year. Qualities necessary as
requisites for the honor of receiving
the Gerlinger award are soundness
in body and mind, modesty, dignity,
personal integrity, high character
and scholarship.
In scholarship Miss Buck stands
very high. Her average has always
been well above the University aver
age. She has been on the honor
roll for grades several times.
Since being in college, Miss Buck

Successful Season
Brought to Close
By Mu Phi Epsilon
Mu Phi Epsilon, women’s na
tional musical faternity, is bring
ing to a close one of the most
successful years in its history on
the Oregon campus. Concerts have
always been a feature of its
year’s work, but never until this
season has it sponsored a series of
concerts with the assitance of
the school of music faculty.
A miscellaneous program under
the supervision of Lois Parker
opened the series in the new
school of music auditorium. A
talk on oriental music with illus
trations by Anne Landsbury Beck
was the interesting subject of the
second program. A program of
Yuletide music was given during
the holidays and an opera pro
gram by Madame Bose McGrew
given the first of spring term
was exceptionally interesting.
Bex Underwood sponsored a
program a few weeks ago in
which he explained the many in
teresting features of an orches
tra. The last program in the
series will be a lecture recital by
John Stark Evans, associate dean
of the school of music, Tuesday,
June 2, at 8:15 p. m., in the music
auditorium.
SENIOR WOMEN BOLDLY PURSUE
SHY MEN DURING LEAP WEEK
By Lillian Baker
The Senior Leap Week siege this
year was a red letter week in col
lege activities, both for the senior
women, who east aside their natural
modesty and boldly pursued their
dignified classmates, and for the
dignified classmates, who waited
patiently at home. It lasted four
days and great were the casualties
of the men thereof, some in broken
hearts over no dates and others
in perturbed hearts over dates.
The assault began with open
house on the night of Wednesday,
April 1, when the women made the
rounds of the men’s houses, eyeing
1 their prospective partners and
chalking them off on tho counts of
dancing, heavy line, competition
and—possibly looks. A little diffi
culty was experienced in some in
stances when a battering line of
eight or ten senior women charged
upon three or four senior men who
were utterly unable to protect them
selves, and thus had to suffer three
or four partners for one dance.
On Thursday, April 2, Delta Delta
Delta and Alpha Chi Omega com
bined forces and entertained with
a Bow Wow Brawl, carrying out
the Bow Wow idea by serving hot

WOMAN'S LEAGUE
HAS ACTIVE YEAH
National Convention Proves
Biggest Undertaking
ANNA DE WITT NEW HEAD
By Elizabeth Cady
The Women’s League has just
completed its biggest and most in
fluential year on the campus. This
is the general concensus of opinion
of those who have kept in toueh
with its different activities since
last fall. Undoubtedly, the national
convention of Associated Women
Students, to which the local league
was hostess, is the most outstanding
project which the Oregon women
have put across.
This conference embraced all col
leges and universities west of the
Appalachian M.nintuia#y;
about 100 delegates
for four days of well-organized
work and entertainment. In spite
of the fact that it rained incessant
ly during the convention, all of the
delegates voted it to be one of the
best and most helpful conferences
they had ever attendod , - ?
Conference is Large
This is the first time in the his
tory of the school that the Wom
en’s League has entertained as
large a number of guests, but in
view of the successful way in which
the program was put across, the
Oregon campus bids fair to become
one of the most popular convening
places.
This year a Freshman Girls’ Loan
Fund was established by the wom
en’s organization, which has met
the needs of many freshmen women,
and is under the charge of Dean
Walker, student advisor. This fund

A Challenge of Summer Study
1. Summer study shortens the four-year course, making
up for lost time or cutting down on the regular require
ment. Nine term hours may be earned in summer
session.
2. Summer study gives an opportunity to take many
courses not offered during the regular year or not
available through exigencies of individual schedules.
3. Summer study makes learning consecutive and effec
tive. Do you know of any successful person who neg
lects his business for three months of the year while he
goes on a vacation?
4. Summer study affords contact with an earnest, aggres
sive and purposeful group of students, cosmopolitan
and mature, thereby giving the stimulus of a new kind
of competition.
5. Summer study permits close acquaintance with lead
ing American scholars. The University of Oregon,
grown to be a large institution, is pleasantly small in
the summer.
6. Summer study does not eliminate the vacation, or the
possibility of gainful occupation, since the fall term
does not begin till nearly two months after the close of
summer session.
The 1 925 summer sessions of the University of Oregon will be held simultaneously on the campus at Eugene and
in Lincoln high school, Portland, from June 22 to July 3 1. A catalogue fully describing the wide variety of courses
offered m both sessions, may be obtained from the registrar or from the extension division, or a copy will be
mailed upon request.
