Elections, Ladies Home Journals,
Spring Time, Book Shops and Peanuts
This is a big day for thirty-six Oregon students. They are
the politicians recently sprouted in our midst, and not until
late tonight when all the returns from the day’s election are in
and counted will these poor folks have any peace of mind and
body. Some of them may be affected by the suspense of wait
ing more than others, but all of them, whether they deny it or
not, will be on edge until the results are out. All hail to the
winners, and congratulations to the losers. The former will
have a short siege of power and glory, and the latter will have
ti'mp to study. Furthermore, the losers can sit at the table for
members of the Royal and Loyal Order of Lame Ducks at the
Seven Seers Cabaret next Friday night.

Every one should vote today. The process is easy and in
teresting. Furthermore, it is essential that capable persons be
put in these offices, and only by intelligent voting can this be
done. Don’t forget to vote “yes” for the student body Consti
tution revision.

All folk interested in the fate of the University of Oregon
will read with interest in the May issue of the Ladies Home
Journal an article on the University of Oregon morals by Charles
A. Seldon, who visited the University almost exactly a year
ago. The article is one of several on American Universities.
Up to date the articles have consisted mostly of “whitewash”
and it remains to be seen the fate of this institution. If the
article, which will be on the stands within a day or two, proves
of sufficient interest the Emerald will have more to say on
this subject. Beware, oh worthy and virtuous Ladies Home
Journal, ’lest the Emerald get you—!

This is a good time to write to all your eastern and northern
and southern friends and tell them about the fine weather we
are having. You might mention, also, that Eugene, Oregon is
one of tlie best college towns to be found for many and many
a mile. The city is large enough to be out of the “small town”
class, and is not big enough to swallow the University to the
detriment of the college life and atmosphere. Furthermore the
surrounding country provides unlimited roads, rivers, mill
races, lanes and paths that afford the very finest of destina
tions for pedestrians, equestrians, canoeists, and autoists. The
student who fails to take advantage of these highways and
byways is missing a ponderous fund of good times.
* * * *
Did you ever wonder why there is no book shop in the
vicinity of the University, or even in Eugene? The Co-op does
nobly in attempting to keep on hand a supply cf good books,
and a number of the stores down town make a pretense at
stocking books. Hut a real book shop, where one might select
from a goodly supply of desirable books is not to be found. A
book shop along with our colony of eating places and drug
stores and barber shops would lend a touch quite lacking at the
present, time. It would be a symbol of true higher education
and would be a material aid in fostering the intellectual inter
ests of the students. Won’t someone please start a book shop?
* # # #
There remains still another vital subject to be discussed
today. It's peanuts. Now, peanuts are a very very fine food,
enjoyed by many, many people. And of all people that enjoy
peanuts, the people that eat peanuts at the University of Ore
gon baseball games enjoy them the most. The ball fans sit on
the bleachers and swear at the umpire, and swear at the players,
and swear at the hot sun, and—swear at the peanuts. Why do
they swear at the umpire and the players and the hot sun?
Because it is good fun. And why do they swear at the pea
nuts? Because t he peanuts are rotten peanuts. In fact, the
peanuts peddled at the University of Oregon ball games are
just about the worst peanuts that any one ever attempted to
eat. As a penalty for selling this type of baseball food, the
Emerald suggests that all peanut venders, unless the quality of
the peanuts be improved, at the next game be taken out. it'
titude be made to eat some of their own terrible peanuts. May
front of the bleachers and in the eyes of all the assembled mul
they choke and spit as we did.
• * * •
Even so, peanuts or no peanuts, the world is a fine place
these days.
Letter Received Here
For Dr. Florence Moss
Who is Dr. Florence Moss?
There is no prize offered, hut
the answer will solve a problem that
has been puzzling Mrs. Clara L.
Fitch, secretary of the administra
tive offices, for the patt few days.
A letter has been received in ,
Mrs. Fitch’s office addressed to Dr.
Florence Moss, care of University
of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon, from
the office of tho president of the
University of Southern California,
in Los Angeles.
There is no one by that name on
the faculty hero, and inquiry fails
to identify the addressed. The mis
sive is postmarked April 20, 1926.

THE ELECTION DIRT
The Seven seers fallowed a tip

tained only at great risk of life and
limb and should be treated with
great confidence. We’re all one

Mary Baker Eddy, out for the po
sition of senior woman on the exe
cutive council of “The everything
is Jakey Now” men, was nomina
ted by none other than the digni
fied asture “Bob” Hunt.
Carrie Nation, famous woman
about the campus, it is rumored,
is being backed by none other than
the Chi Psi Lodge. They maintain
that the liquor situation on the
campus needs to be cleaned up,
there are too many middle men,
and that Carrie is just the girl to
do the work with a “smash.”
Gertie Talbot, having an unquen
chable supply of hilarious jokes, i»
casting covetous eyes on the office
of campus “wag.” Don Juan Cap
Murray is backing her and with the
undivided support of such a highly
organized unit, the aspirant should
win by a wide margin.

SEVEN SEERS.
'‘“Chameleon
Despite the intoxicating weather
and all sails pulling for languidity,
we read the American Mercury yes
terday, and, like many others that
read the American Mercury, we
think we are entitled ho “express”
ourselves.
Mencken is a lesson in publicity.
He does this with the brilliant suc
cess of a donkey acquiring stickers.
His journalistic arrest on Boston
Common sent the tabooed number to
a premium. Now his conflict with
the Watch and Ward society of
Boston, known to the saeriligious
undergraduates of Harvard as the
Watch and Chain society, has led
to a sharp championing of Ameri
can right.
Almost in the same breath that
the writer read the American Mer
cury yesterday he happened to run
across an article that gave the in
spiration of the following rumina
tions. When Mr. Mencken was a
wee child, just beginning to turn
his youthful eyes to the heavens for
information, a sculptor made a
bronze statue for Copely square in
the classic city. It was a good
statue, for the sculptor was a good
sculptor—a statue of a Bacchante,
artistically revealing certain con
tours of the human form which in
that age were rarely seen publicly
except in a high wind.
The Watch and Ward Society re
fused to permit the statue to be
erected in Copely Square, and im
mediately 20,000,000 people heard
about the sculptor that had never
before heard about him and had
supposed that his craft was mainly
a business of carving tombstones.
Art had a boom and nudity was
made a matter of national interest.
So the Watch and Ward Society
became an instrument for the dis
semination of culture even more
than of morals, because more peo
ple seem to enjoy art than morality.
Now it furthers the causes of
things by popping up again, and,
through a pedagogic censorship, is
helping spread the light of freedom
in a land that needs it. And both
Mr. Mencken and the Watch and
Ward Society contribute to the
gaiety of nations.

Olive Adams Suffers
Fractured Skull In
Gym Class Accident
Olive Adams, daughter of Percy
P. Adams, assistant dean of the
school of architecture and allied
arts, is seriously ill with a frac
tured skull, caused when she was
hit by a javelin during a gym class
several weeks ago.
Miss Adams underwent an opera
tion at the Pacific Christian hospital
last Thursday. She is still very ill.
After the accident the girl’s head
was bandaged, and she did not suf
fer any serious discomfort until sev
eral days later, when she became
much worse and was taken to the
hospital.
She is a sophomore in the Uni
versity and is an honor roll student.
She had been doing part time work
in the business office of the Uni
versity.
W. A. A.
(Continued from page one)
conditions were different at each
school and at first team position
might be easier to attain at one
school than another. If such a sys
tem were established, a transfer of
points would easily be effected
from one institution to the other.
Myrtle Mast, in her report, ex
plained the honor plaque at Wash
ington 'on which all girls excelling
in athleticg had their names in
scribed. This, she said, was there
considered more of an honor than
our athletic sweater. She told the
members that at Utah the co-ed
had to secure 1600 points before
she could wear a W. A. A. sweater.
Awards at the various Colleges were
found to be given on the basis of
service, character, sportsmanship,
and points; instead of just on
■points as here.
Training Lax
Both delegates declared training
ruleg for women here to be very
lax as compared to those at other1
colleges and predicted that there
should be a general shake-up in this
respect for the next year.
Miss Mast reported that it was
agreed at conference round-table
discussions that these four points
were essential to training: first,
interest of all in training rules;
second, importance in rules; third:
maintainance of interest 'once
aroused; fourth, a simple, training
rule program.
The ideal program for training in
cludes: three meals a day, minus all
earting between meal, except fruit,
hersheys, and ice cream; eight
hours of sleep per night; a daily
shower; and one hour of exercise
per day.
Plan Day Discussed
Elaine Mobley, who is in charge
of the heads of sports for the big
gest athletic event that Oregon
women have undertaken—Play Day,
explained the event to the meeting
and outlined the program as ar
ranged to date. This will include
non-competitive games with the O.
A. C. girls who are joining with
Oregon for the galo sport event. Ab
solutely no element of competition
will enter the events.
“Play Day is a step forward in
women’s athletics,” said Miss Mob
ley, “and will bp just one big romp
and rollick for the girls.”
The events which will take place,
as planned at. present, are : canoe
ing: tennis, hockey; baseball, arch
ery, track, horseback riding. The
first and last events will be purely
demonstration work. A social swim
and immediately thereafter a big
picnic supper will wind up the day.
Sports
(Continued from page one)
Hobson, Bliss, Edwards, and Adolph,
coming up in order, present a wreck
ing crew calculated to skid over
runs, and runs mean ball games, un
less tho rules have been revised. The
short varsity right field is made to
order for Bliss and Edwards, long
distance elouters who swing from
the port side. Ashby, Baker, and
Harrison have an assortment of
hooks designed to mow down bats
men. All hands agree that the var
sity ball club is the best to represent
Oregon since the days of Vernon
Motschenbacher, Byron Houck, the
Bigbee boys, Tuerck, Welch, and
other luminaries.
The tennis team is supremely con
fident over the outcome of its ap
proaching match with the Aggies.
To a man up a tree, the racket
wielders seem assured of victory.
Abercrombie’s main problem lies in
picking a first team.
Suggestions continue to come in
for a new name for Oregon’s ath
letic teams. Ooastwide interest has
been attracted, as is evidenced by
a letter from A. B. Boodberg, of
Menlo Park, California, offering
Berserkers, Sovereigns, Typhoons,
Tronclads, Stormy Petrols, Immort
als. Hunters, and Adamants. Thanks
a lot, Mr. Boodberg.
Architect Heads
To Attend Meet
At Washington
E. H. Lawrence, W. B.
Wilcox to go Today
To Conference
Today, Dean Ellis F. Lawrence, of
the school of architecture, will leave
for Washington, D. C., where he
will attend the annual convention
of the American Federation of Arch
itects. Prof. W. B. Wilcox, who will
also attend it, left last Friday.
The convention will extend over
the greater part of a couple of
weeks, during which time there will
also be a convention of the Associa
tion of the Collegiate Schools of
Architecture. Dean Lawrence in
tends to represent the University of
Oregon at this latter meeting.
The Association of the Collegiate
Schools of Architecture is made up
of schools which have a university
or college standing and also a
school of architecture.
While in the east, it is the inten
tion of Dean Lawrence to visit the
universities and colleges of several
states for the purpose of inspecting
their basketball pavilions and stu
dent union buildings.
The trip east is a great advantage
to the school as well as to the men
who are making the trip for it
serves to make the school recognized
in the east and likewise assists in
bringing the latest ideas to the west.
Dean Lawrence and Professor
Wilcox expect to return in time for
the Jury day, which will be held
on the campus May 27.
Juniors to Complete
Prom Work Today
All Junior Prom workers, which
means all juniors, must report at
the armory at 1:30 today for after
noon work, and also at 7:30 tonight
to complete the sewing and design
ing for the Prom. All comijiittee
members and junior representatives
from all groups are requested to at
tend these meetings. The slides
have been completed and work on
the designs will start, so men are
needed as well as women.
Applications Due For
Next Year’s Degrees
Students who expect to receive
degrees either during January or
June of next year must apply for a
degree at the registrar’s office dur
ing May, it was announced today.
The applications are filed and the
office checks and makes summaries
of them during the summer, sending
the reports to students. As there
are four or five hundred students
who will graduate next year it is
necessary that this duty be accom
plished as soon as possible.
Library Rent List
Adds Six New Books
“We Moderns,” the play written
by Zangwill, in the motion picture
production of which Colleen Moore
