The Emerald congratulates the new student body officers upon the assumption of their new duties. It is the sincere belief of the writer that the student body has chosen men and women who, without ex ception, are emmincntly capable of fulfilling tlie duties of their of fices to the credit of themselves and their University. # • * Hugh Biggs will guide the stu dent body sanely and intelligently. Ho will discriminate readily be tween those matters of trivial and permanent importance, and will focus the activities of the student body upon those affairs which are deserving of attention. With the able assistance of the vice-prosi dent, Lowell Baker, the student ad ministration will bo conducted in a manner that will be both efficient and farseeing. » • • An examination into the person nel of the student and executive councils reveals a group of poople well fitted for the duties before them. The executive council will be discriminating in affairs of fi nance and administration, and the student council will bo always on tlio alert to guido and interpret skillfully the wishes and opinions of their constituents. » « » Tho writer is confident also of tho ability of Sol Abramson, editor elect of the Emerald, to pilot most admirably tho University news paper. Mr. Abramson, a writer of ability, will select wisely tho ma terial which he places before his readors. The Emerald next year ■will be opinionatod, interesting, and well edited in both news and edi torial columns. Furthermore, the Emerald will bo a University paper, ami not merely a student news paper—a newspaper also that will hold vigorously for those principles which it deems worthy of support. Tho Emerald, in reviewing tho events of the past year, is con vinced that the retiring student body officers are open to warm congratulations for the success with which their tasks have been admin istered. Tho past year, without a University president, has been one of uncertainty in which tho stu dent officers found their work doubly difficult. All year the slo gan for student body officers has been of necessity—“sit tight—sit tight—until the new president comes—” Measures which ordinar ily would have presented no diffi culties were perplexing to no small degree. In view of this fact, tho skill with which student affairs have been administered is all the more worthy of applause. 'V »* In surveying tho events of the ■J past year in which the student body ^ 9 has been concerned the following ^ ■toi.dmj‘thr most worthy of A successful Greater Oregon sea sou during tho summer of 1925 which brought to tho University what is generally conceded to be a very good freshman class. The freshman presidency situa* tion was cleared up and the position of frosh president made one of re spect. • * « The Associated students had the most successful financial season in history when a debt of $19,000 was practically cleared up. * * * The building program of the stu dent building fund was launched with the construction of bleachers and plans made, bond issue of $150, 000 floated and construction start ed on basketball pavilion. * * * Permanency and efficiency in athletic and managerial personnel were established, with the hiring and contracting of football, basket ball, freshman, swimming, and as sistant coaches, and graduate man ager. An efficient student activity per sonnel system was inaugurated and developed. • • • A much needed revision of the student body constitution was ac complished. • * • The student body had the most successful basketball season for many years. Assistance through the graduate manager was given the construction of the new Portland stadium which will insure more successful football seasons and larger gate receipts. Most important and porhaps most difficult as far as tho student ad ministration was concerned was the maintainanco and continuance of regular student body activities, in cluding forensics, music, athletics, Homecoming, lectnre series, concert series, High School Conference, and the general student body oonduct, all carried on under the trying con ditions of a change in University administration. The foregoing activities, whilo due to the efforts of a great many people, were conducted under tho capable direction and leadership of the retiring student body officers. The list of accomplishment is large and worthy of unstinted praisu; and to Walter Malcolm, retiring president; Haul Agor, rotiring vice president; DeLores Pearson retiring secretary; Kenneth Stephenson, re tiring senior man on the executive council; Botty Rauch, senior wom an on tho executive council, and Fred Martin, two years yell king; and indeed to all the other offi cers are due the most hearty ex pressions of approbation for meri torious service rendered. All members of Amphibian club and these on probation report at the tank this week and next at 7:30 Tuesday and Thursday nights for demontration practice.

ENGLAND HAD ITS STRIKE, AND OREGON PLAYS WASH INGTON MONDAY. SIRUS PINCHPENNEY’S DIARY Up betimes, being awakened by a railroad engine calling to its mate on the Natron cutoff. To breakfast and pluck raisins from a brave crust of toast and while I am sipping the nectar of the java berry from my saucer come my room mate. He a-yammering that he has read “The Great God Brown,” “Nize Baby,” and “The Roan Stal lion” while I am struggling with Sherwood Anderson’s “Notebook” which does unfold with the speed of a slow motion picture. Methinks my room mate does sit with a pret tie book in his hands all day while I am at my stint. A pox, say I, for such coggery. USE THE WORD DETROIT IN A SENTENCE “My brother in New York had a cold in Detroit.” * * • wicH’swfcH Sergius McFlyswatt, broken brok er and heart-breaker, was once a prominent citizen before he fell to the lure of the kerosene lamps and dominoes. He was president of the Anti-Hive League of Strawberry ville, Chairman of the Committee for Raising Funds for Fumbling Fuse-Lighters, contributed generous ly to the Home for Impoverished Ovis Polises, made the commence ment speech before the Salem Jail break, furnished the orphaned eski mos with pongee pajamas, and start ed the present fad for button-down sweat-shirts by cutting off the low er half of his winter underwear and wearing it over his shirt during the summer months. But the Sink of Iniquity that lies between the dark and the dawn got him, and he wast ed away his years, flexibility and father’s money in the Domino Dens of the North-end. Now an old man in appearance although young and abounding in spifits, he is penni less, but still has the common sense to live off of his former friends and henchmen. * • • FAMOUS LAST WORDS "How-do-you-do, Mr. Onthank, I am a representative of the Eugene bootleggers’ league. Is there any thing I can do for you?” Now that elections are over debts will be paid, bets will be cleared, those successful will write home about it, and those unsuccessful will go to the circus and forget all. | YES, MOST POLLS ARE SLIP-' PEKY THINGS TO CLIMB. Which reminds us that the air-; ship that flow over the North Pole ntust have had a cold reception. To those wild-eyed ladies that love to be out in a storm we dedi cate the following tender song: “A bolt of lightning. Some thun der and You.” OCR JOKES CONTAIN ARTI FICIAL FLAVORING.

Athletic Heads Go South for Coast Meeting; Conference Is 'to Discuss Dictator, Schedules, Rule Changes - i Jack Benefiel, Virgil Earl, Cap-1 tain John J. McEwan, and Prof, j H. C. Howe, the faculty represent-! ative to the Pacific Coast confer-1 ence, left Tuesday evening to at tend the annual spring meeting of the conference at San Francisco. | While he is in the south, Captain McEwan will visit several of his former pupils, who are in the regu lar army, and will also meet some of the southern football coaches. At this meeting of the Coast con ference, the schedule of games for all sports, except football, will be worked out. This njeans that the basketball, baseball, track, tennis, swimming, and wrestling schedules for the year 1927, will be arranged. Many important questions on rules and eligibility will be considered, and several radical changes may be made. Among these is the possible appointment of a “dictator”, whose position as concerns the conference would correspond to that of Judge Landis’s in the baseball world. On this man, if one is appointed, would devolve the responsibility of pass ing on all rules and eligibility changes, thus obviating the necessi ty of long and heated arguments on these questions. One of the oth er questions to be thrashed out is the “where” and “why” of all post season football games. A now secretary will be elected to fill the place of Jack Benefiel, whose term expires at this session. Dean Donald Kirk David, of the graduate school of business at Har vard university, will be on the cam pus Monday, May 17, to speak on “Business Education” at 3 o’clock, room 105, in Commerce hall. He is professor of marketing at Harvard and author of “Retail Store Man aging.” All students interested nxay attend the lecture. Mr. David will be the guest of the school of business administra tion faculty at lunch at the Anchor age, Monday noon. Students in Design Make Tiles for Art Building Decoration Many of those who have passed the art building within the last few days have noticed the colorful and decorative effect introduced by the tiles which have filled one of the arches on the west side of the art building. These tiles have been made by students in Miss Victoria Avakian’s class in applied design. The tiles are all hand made. This is the first of the arches to be filled. Two others, one on each side of the now decorated one and three more on the other side of the building remain to be decorated. It is the intention of Miss Avakian to make enough tiles to complete the work this term. Blue and red, the predominating colors in the tiles, around a brown center give the idea of a colored window. Yale to Introduce World War Picture In Spring Activities (Reprinted from Yale Daily News, April 10, 1926) As a distinct feature of its spring activities the Yale dramatic associ ation will introduce a new form of entertainment for its patrons in the University when it sponsors the first New Haven showing of The Big Parade, a motion picture of the World War, held to be of high artistic worth. The associa tion feels that this picture mens- j ures up favorably enough in intrin sic artistic value to warrant spon soring it here. The scenario of The Big Parade was written by Laurence Stallings, a disabled veteran of the World War, who is now literary critic of the New York World. He is the author of a war novel Plumes and co-author with Maxwell Anderson of the highly successful war play “What Price Glory?” John Gilbert and Renee Adore© play the leading roles while comedy relief is supplied by Karl Dane and Tom O’Brien. The showing is to be identical with the one now current at the Aster Theatre, New York, in every detail. A complete symphony or chestra is to be brought here to render the music which was written especially for the production. Arrangements are now being made for an early choice of de sirable seats by the members of the University for any of the elev en performances. The engagement will open Monday evening May 17 ind continue through the remainder of the week. Strawberry Tennis Court Social to Be Held Tuesday at Six The date book has been cleared of all impediments for next Tues day night, ahd once again the strawberry social is announced. This time, however, there will be no postponement, says Esther Hardy, head of the committee in charge. Strawberries and the Oregon Ag gravators will reign supreme, per haps even attempting to vie with one another, on the tennis courts on the night of May 18. Five cents will be charged for each dance that the campus sheik who guides the co-ed about the courts in the most novel dance that has been staged this year. It’s a no-date affair, with the snappy syncopators furnishing mu sic from 6:00 to 7:30. Since the dance is to be held early to prevent interference with evening study, all houses are being asked to lend their support by serving the eve ning meal early and without des sert. The big dish of strawberry ice cream sundaes that will be waiting for every student at the social will more than do the duty of the temporarily-lost desert. There will be a small charge for this. This affair is being sponsored, by W. A. A. to secure funds to put over the Play Day with 0. A. C. here May 22. Every student can help by coming out to dance and eat strawberries and ice cream. Or, if you don’t dance, come and get your share of the “eats.” Theaters £ McDONALD — third day: Zane Grey’s heroic novel of glowing romance and stirring action “The Vanishing American,” with Richard Dix, Lois Wilson, Noah Beery and a cast of 10,000 Indians and a hun dred principals, produced on the same lavish scale as “The Covered Wagon.” Alexander on the Wurlit zer with a special musical score.

C., recent trav eler in South America and the Ori ent, and Walter Van Kirk, of the Federal Council Commission on In ternational Goodwill, the student Christian conference at Seabeck, Washington this summer will stress in an unusual fashion world broth erhood, according to a recent state ment by Jess Wyant, chairman of the Northwest Field council of the inter-collegiate Y. M. C. ’s. . Each day’s thinking will center around a particular theme, Mr. Wy ant said. The topics that have been selected for the eight days of the conference are as follows: Cit izenship, what is involved? Money, the Christian ethics in making and using; Brotherhood, is world peace possible? Campus Life, what are the issues? Student Christian Move ments, their responsibility for a better world; Men and Women, friends, enemies, or victims? Voca tion, how intelligently choose? The Church, her challenge to this gen eration. liiiHiiiiHiiaiiniBiinmiliaiiniiiHiiaiiiiiBiiii!
