Week-end Made Successful by Co-operation Events Surpass Previous Ones in New Ideas And 3Ianagement Committees Commended for Services Tfow that Junior 'Week-end is over, it remains to write a few words in respeet of the success of every event, ithe [workj of those conscientious directorate and com mittee members who were respon sible for the success of the week end. Campus day with its parade of frosh numeral men to the“0”, the tug-of-war, and the burning of the green lids were well handled by Will Kidwell, chairman of Campus day. The campus luncheon was suc cessfully planned and carried out by Doris Brophy, chairman, and her assistants. Regardless of threatening weath er conditions, Earl Chiles, chair man of the canoe fete, was un daunted, and the result of his per severance and that of his commit tee, was a canoe fete which phe sented a greater variety of floats than has even been shown in any previous fete. Each float ex pressed a sincere interest on the part of those who designed and construc ted it. The etheral and imaginative effect of the fete was enhanced by the steam-belching dragon, a new decorative idea introduced in the fete. Perfect in design and effect, it was a brilliant tribute to Ken neth Birkemeier, who created and designed it. Lawrence Armond, lighting chair man, deserves commendation for his choice of lighting effects. The houses also exhibited good 'judg ment in the lighting of their floats. Ed Therieau, in choosing the feat ures of the canoe fete, presented an appealing program. The Junior Prom was the pin nacle of the gaieties, of the week end. Splendid in decorative ap peal and beauty, it showed a vast amount of research and labor of the committees headed by Rolf Klep, decoration chairman, Lowell Hob litt, construction, and Howard Os vold, manager. The feature, done by Catherine Sartain, was one of the most dramatic over presented. . Speaking of the work of Ralph Staley, chairman of the Junior Week-end directorate, James John son, president of the junior class, de clared yesterday, “I think Staley’s work has been exceedingly effici ent. The perseverance and interest lie has shown has been admirable.” Frosh Tennis Squad Defeats Rook Team The Oregon freshman tennis team made a clean sweep of the matchos held with the O. A. 0. rooks last Saturday whom they defeated, 7 to 0. Rain halted the play in the morning hut resumed again in the early afternoon.

Damage Suit to Be Tried in Moot Court WfHETIIER he was under the ” influence of liquor or is naturally a careless driver, is unknown, but the fact remains that Robert Chrisman, third year law student, ran his car into the car of Jim Robertson which was parked along the highway April 28, causing damages amounting to $120, and resulted in a moot trial to be held tonight in the Lane county court house at 7:15 by the law school moot court.

Eugene to Have 1927 DeMolay Convention Eugene was selected for the 1927 DeMolay state convention by a vote of sixteen to three each for Klam ath Falls and Corvallis, rivals for the honor, it was reported by Mark Taylor, master councilor of the local chapter of the order, and Earl Neet, university students who attended the convention at La Grande last Friday and Saturday. Mr. Taylor was made chairman of the imileage and expense com mittee, and a member of the 1927 convention committee. He also took part in the ritual work of the Grand Lodge initiation, when 15 new members were received into the order. Visit of Portland Club Postponed until Fall The Portland Advertising club has postponed its visit until next fall due to the fact that it is impossible to find an open date for both the club and the advertising glasses here. The club had planned to come to tho campus sometime in May by auto caravan. Report (Continued from page one) veil-balanced unity perceptiblo from tbo student’s point of view—no ade quate senso of the “oneness” of knowledge, and a subsequent fail ure on the part of the student to grasp early enough the significance of his education. Thirdly, the presence of an all too large number of students who have no place in the University, who exert a parasitic influence up on tlie rest of the community. Fourthly, tho widespread use of stereotyped methods of instruction where the habit of spoon feeding is begun early and continued as long as possible. In the remaining portions of this report we shall endeavor to point out changes in the present administra tive policy of the University which we believe would bo of material as sistance in bringing about a health ier scholastic tenor within the Uni versity. In this report wo are not concerning ourselves with causes which may or may not exist outsido the University. We are convinced that a great deal can be done from within to alleviate the situation, to raise true scholastic, achievement to a level heretofore deemed unattain able. Before outlining the changes which we propose wo shall re-iter ate a platitude often utterod by members of the professoriat, to wit, “that the crux of the situa tion hinges, after all, upon the in dividual student’s getting down to good hard sustained work.” We do not, however, subscribe to that other dogma, that “a good student will always get an education in spite of the institution.” Wo wish to change that to read, “with ev ery possible aid from the Univer sity.” in the report which is to follow I wo shall suggest certain changes which we believe will facilitate a ■ more efficient functioning of the education process. !Ejg.rgIgjg®jgc A full stack of used tires —All sizes.

Questionnaire Is Basis of Article For Old Oregon Mrs. Ernst Writes Story on Fiftieth Anniversary for May Issue Page of Students’ Poems to Be Printed With the distribution of the Ap ril “Old Oregon,” material for the May issue is being rapidly assem bled. One of the big articles in the new number is by Edward M. Mill er, editor of the Emerald. He has contributed a review of the stu dent movement to investigate the status of intellectual activity on the campus at the present time. The article, entitled “The Undergradu ates Pause to Think,” reviews and reprints in part the student com mittee report running in the Em erald this week. Material in the article is taken from the ques tionnaires recently sent out by the student daily. Last month “Old Oregon" printed the report of the Alumni Visiting committee and Mr. Miller’s article follows along that line, the studying of campus con ditions. New Series of Articles Begins “Old Oregon” edited by Jean nette Calkins, alumni secretary, is starting a series of articles entitled “What is the Matter With the Uni versity?” A number of persons representing divergent points of view have been invited to express themselves on this subject. The first of the series has been written by Glenn E. Hoover, assistant pro fessor of economics. An interesting feature in the May issue will be a page of poetry by Oregon students. Philippa Sherman has contributed a group of three poems under the title of “Mill-Race Musings.” The three poems are in dividually named “Tree Tops,” “Maples in Spring” and “Water Thoughts.” Ruth McDowell has written “A plea,” and “The Ranee” has been sent in by Juliette Claire Gibson. “The Old Ranch Widow,” by Walter Evans Kidd, which won the prize in the national contest conducted by the University of Texas, is printed in this section which is entitled “Fir Boughs and Frills.” Another article appearing in the new number will be “A Fiftieth Birthday Is an Occasion” by Alice Henson Ernst, chairman of the Commemoration Ode. The article urges all students, former students, and graduates to submit odes com memorating the fiftieth anniver sary of the founding of the Univer sary to be used in connection with the Semi-Centennial Celebration next fall. Story on 30th Beunion Lester G. Hulin, ’96, has contri buted a story of the 30th reunion of his class which will take place this commencement. Another story tells of the number of former Ore gon students who are candidates in the primary elections in May. An article has been written on the fac ulty members who are leaving this University to accept positions in other institutions. W. L. Whittlesey', ’01, has sent in two sketches on former days at Oregon. One entitled “Students Studying” showing old methods of studying and the other, “On Your Mark,” tells of early athletics, par ticularly track. The usual departments will ap pear, edited by Dick Syring; cam pus notes, news of the classes, and “The Family Mail-Box” which prints parts of letters received from former Oregon students. Dean Walker Attends Eastern Conference Dean and Mrs. H. Walker left last night to attend the National Conference for the Deans of Men which will be held at the University of Minnesota, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of this week.

HubbellA BenesCo., Anbt tats FOR many years, thinkers who watch mechanical progress with a friendly eye have asserted that the goal of ma chinery is to set mankind free from routine tasks, to give him time and oppor tunity for those tasks of the mind forwhich evolution has particularly fitted him. In two of our most important indus tries there have been recent develop ments which may be truthfully said to have ushered in a new epoch. The dial telephone system, after years of experi ment, has proved itself a practical and efficient servant of man. And the Otis Signal Control Elevator, also a product of untiring effort arid experiment, marks a revolutionary step forward. The transportation system of a modern building requires fewer elevators of this new type, than were heretofore required of other types. Control is entirely auto matic, the car being operated by the pressing of car or hall button. This type of control automatically brings the elevator to a stop within an exactness of level which eliminates the delays of readjustment experienced under the old system, and also automatically opens the doors as the car stops. This accuracy of landing greatly eliminates the possibility of accident. In view of these epoch-making de velopments in the telephone and ele vator industries, it is most appropriate that the four new monumental telephone buildings stretching across the country, and located in New York, Cleveland, St. Louis and San Francisco, should be equipped with the latest type of Otis Signal Control Elevators. OTIS COMPANY ELEVATOR Offices in all Principal Cities of the World ’25, will be printed and,sent out. Besides this work the regular routine printing of the shop such jas: Oregon Exchanges, Monitor, Old Oregon, and the University High | school catalogue, is put out. A force of about 16 people is kept working all of the time in the bindery and press, and a day and night shift operate during the year in order to get the work out. j - Subscribe for the Emerald ,4ai3E]aiSI3]3fai3iaiS®3I3IB]3l3f3I3EISIBE I TERMINAL HOTEL One of Oregon’s g Best Hotels RICHARD SHEPARD jj Manager g iciJSISISEISJSIS^EMSjSISSISiBIHSMSMSIc I House Managers] Talk to us on our Slabwood bffer before buying next year’s supply FROM DRY AND LARGE OLD GROWTH TREES Lumber & Shingles BOOTH-KELLEY LUMBER COMPANY MCDONALD THEATRE BEBE DANIELS SlH&ns BEBE in the type of class-comedy in which she has no feminine equal on the screen. nritk WARNER BAXTER FORD STERLING \ *0©u>1| Z9Sd* ICSSECMSSf —Comedy— BILLY DOOLEY in “Shore Shy” An Ocean of Fun!
