VOLUME XXVJLL UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE. THURSDAY, APRIL 22. 1926 EIGHTEEN ENTER ARENA; NOMINA TIONS FOR TOD A Y Construction On Pavilion ToBeginSoon Bid of $169,401 Accepted Building Committee And Regents Roof of Building to Be Specially Constructed Portland Contractor to Do General Work The total bid of $167,401.60 for the construction of the new basket ball pavilion was submitted to the building committees of the student body and the board of regents at a meeting yesterday at 10 a. m. and accepted. The pavilion will be located on the ground directly south of the military barracks and work will start on it within the next 15 days according to L. H. Johnson, comp troller of the University. A. Pajunen, Portland contractor, submitted the low bid of $139,168 for the general contracting work on the building. The Bum includes the construction of a Lamella roof which is a new departure in build ings of this type. The roof will be built entirely of wood and will have no trusses, girders or columns to obstruct the view. Lamella Roof to Be Built The new Lamella roof in addition to being highly desirable because of its lightness, is much safer and will not collapse even though a portion of it be destroyed by fire. It is also cheaper than the steel girded type of roof. A bid of $155,000 was submitted in case this type of structure was to be used. Successful bidders for the other contracts are, wiring, Sigwart Elec tric Co., at $5,575; heating, Chase and Lesley, at $18,775.60 and plumbing, Williamson and Co., $3,883. Thirty-eight concerns submitted bids to the building committees for the four different parts of the con tract. All bids were exceptionally low according to officials of the two committees. The highest bid received for the general contract was one by Geo. Isackson for $189, 000. Contractors Allowed Ten Days The succesful bidders will be al lowed about ten days to sign the contracts and return them to the committees. No difficulty is expect ed from this source according to L. H. Johnson. The building will be built along the lines originally planned by Law rence and Holford, architects of Portland. The contractors will com plete construction in time for the Tegular basketball season next spring. A. Pajunen constructed the new grandstand on Hayward field last summer and is familiar with building conditions in this city.

Seniors to Give Play at Springfield The seniors of the University high school will present their class play, “Kobin Hood”, Friday night at Springfield. The initial presenta tion of the play was given at the high school auditorium last Friday afternoon, and another performance was given Friday evening. , Choice Seats Open For Junior Vodvil “T'HE ticket sale for the Jun ior Vod-Vil is going rapid ly,” stated Pete Brooks, manager, yesterday, “but there are amany good seats throughout the house yet unsold. It would be advis able for students desiring good marts to obtain them immedi ately.” Representatives of /the vari ous houses made their applica tion for ^pts yesterday, but under the new seating system these seats will be distributed in different parts of the theater. Baseball Tourney Between Houses To Open April 24 Games to Be Five Innings Only Except in Finals And Semi-Finals The intramural baseball tourna ment under the direction of Virgil Earl, director of athletics, will start with the first round of the play on April 24 with 17 living organiza tions entering teams in the annual spring jplay. The first and second round will b« completed by May 3, and during the long interval between the second and third round the teams will be permitted to play off any challenge games other than those on the straight elimination schedule. The final game will probably be played about June 1. The diamonds to be used this year will mark a great advancement in do-nut baseball for the new fresh man field and the varsity diamond will be used exclusively for all scheduled games although those not on the schedule may be played on the University high school diamond j or any available space. The sched ule is so arranged that it will not interfere with practice of varsity and freshman teams on these dia monds. The games this year, with the ex ception of those of the semi-final and final rounds, will be five inn- j ings only. The final and semi-final i games will go for the full length. | The department will furnish all i catchers’ equipment and umpires, j but the organizations must furnish the balls for the games. The usual eligibility rules for intramural sports will be enforced, and those men who are candidates for varsity and freshmen teams may enter at the descretion of their respective coaches. Several teams have been working out regularly and it is probable that by the time the tournament starts next Thursday there will be some well-organized nines out for honors. Stockholders of Co-Op Meet Today at 4:30 A mass meeting of the stock holders of the Oo-Op store will be held this afternoon at 4:30 in Vil lard hall for the purpose of nomin iting members of the board of di rectors, receiving the reports of of ficers, and considering other im portant matters. “This meeting for stockholders of the Co-Op, includes all members of the students and faculty,” said Or lando Hollis, president of the board of directors, in correcting a mis take made in an article appearing yesterday morning, which stated that this was to be a meeting of the board of directors. At this time two freshmen, four sophomores and two faculty mem bers will be nominated. Of these, one freshman, two sophomores and one faculty member will be elect ed to serve on the board of direc tors during the conning year. The elections will be held with the student body elections, said Mr. Hollis. Co-Eds to Mix on Y outh T opic Here Tonight Morals of Young America to Be Argued in Three Sided Debate Oregon to Defend Both Sides in Triangle Meet Affirmative Team Leaves For Seattle Wednesday £S THE youth today tending to ward so much moral laxity and disregard for conventions as to bring the character of the race down to a lower standard? That is the main issue which will be fought out by co-ed debaters of Eeed and Oregon in Villard hall as one end of a no decision triangle between Oregon, Washington and Seed tonight. An open forum discussion in which the girls will answer questions from the floor is a feature of the local event after the contest ends tonight. Oregon Meets Two Foes Miss May Helliwell, senior in edu cation, and Mies Frances Cherry, sophomore in journalism, uphold the negative side for Oregon against the Reed affirmative. Since the af firmative sides travel in all three institutions, Oregon’s affirmative, Miss Margaret Blackaby and Miss Cecil McKercher left for Seattle yesterday for the contest there at the same time. Reed negative de bates Washington affirmative in Portland. “Resolved: That the present in creased freedom granted to youth is leading toward a higher type of personality and character,” is the question. Question Declared Interesting The youth problem of modern life is not only vital, but interesting. The main affirmative contentions are that youth freedom is develop ing higher character than previous generations had because a more con structive attitude results, because moral conduct is saner. The speak ers also will contend that a new in terpretation must be given to old standards; that the youth of today, through this, show good sportsman ship instead of conservatism, de cency instead of modesty; that they are blessed with tolerance, frank ness and a spirit of honestly try ing to fipd out new truths of life. Varsity Arguments Given On the other side, the Oregon negative speakers will oppose the resolution on the grounds that youth are throwing away all old conditions unthinkingly because others are do ing it instead of searching for a better way to solve problems; that they have cast aside responsibility; that they are not making good use of their leisure time. They also emphasize that freedom from skep ticism is leading toward material istic conceptions of life, resulting in paralysis of creative impulses. Statistics, they say, show that there is an increase in crime and vice among youth. All Debaters Experienced “I am sure that the girls for Oregon tonight are defending a side with which youth is not usually in sympathy,” said Robert D. Horn, women ’* debate coach, yesterday. “They have shown a keen insight into the problems which confront the youth of the present generation.” Miss McKercher, of the affirma tive, and Miss Cherry, of the nega tive, have been in intercollegiate debates for Oregon before. They opposed Washington in a dual de bate laat year. Miss Helliwell two years ago was on the championship interfraternity team while Miss Blackaby was in the doughnut semi finals last year. Speeches will be 15 minutes in length with each speaker allowed five minutes for rebuttal argument.

Students Will Hear ‘Little Symphony’ In Concert Monday The Little Symphony under the direction of George Barrere, flut ist, will be presented by the Asso ciated Students next Monday eve-1 ning at the Methodist Church audi torium in the last concert of the school year. The Little Symphony consists of the choir of wind instruments, flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, trumpet and bassoon combined with an adequate balance of the stringed instruments. It possesses all the qualities of the full symphony orchestra and at the same time the sweetness and subtle charm which is lost in the larger orchestra. The French government recently conferred upon Mr. Barrere the Ro sette of Officer of Public Instruc tion. He is a first Medallist of the Paris Conservatory and has been an officer of the Academy since 1903. The concert will begin at eight o’clock and admission to students ■will be by presentation of student j body ticket. Many Letters Dropped Here by Air Service The letters sent by air mail are increasing every month in Eugene. The mail is sent now to Salt Lake city by train and then to its des tination by air. A new route has been planned by which the mail will go by train to Pasco, Washing ton and from there to Elko, Nev ada, where the air service will pick it up. Due to the fact that two of the five planes are not ready for use yet, the new starting places will not be used for two months yet. The postal air rate is eight cents per zone, the United States being divided into three zones, the first extending from the Pacific coast to Cheyenne, the second from Chey enne to Chicago, and the third from Chicago to the Atlantic coast. Three cents i* a'dded to these rates for foreign destinations. Nomination Speeches To Be Limited Annual “Silver Tongued” Assembly Scheduled For Today Paul Ager Will Submit Revised Constitution Song Week Awards Will Feature Meeting “There will be an absolute limit on all speeches, depending on the importance of the office to be fill ed,” according to Walter Malcolm, president of the student body, in speaking of the annual “eilver tongued” assembly, which will be held today at the regular assembly hour, eleven o’clock. “Nominations for president will be allowed three minutes, vice-president, secretary and editor of the Emerald will be allowed two minutes, and the bal ance of the offices will be allowed as much time as possible, under two minutes, according to the amount of time remaining for nominations to be made.” Election In Villard • All nominations are to be made from the floor, the only other op portunity to put a candidate’s name on the ballot being through a peti tion, which must be signed by 50 students and filed with the A. 8.

The minutes will be read, but due to the .amount of time required for nominations no particular reports will be called for, says Walter Malcolm. The revised constitution of the associated stu dents will be submitted by Paul Ag cr, who will explain the purpose of the revision as well as the import ant changes made. Presentation of the awards earn ed in the recent Song Week will be a feature of the meeting.

It is hoped that there will be no recurrence of the occasion at a pre vious nominating assembly, when after a flowery piece of oratory was all but complete, the orator forgot the nominee’s name, and had to bo coached in order to deliver that im portant part of his speech, says Walter Malcolm.
