Work on Fields to Start
During Spring Term
Council States
Appointment of Klep,
Wilson, is Authorized
Students to Manage Series
Of Musical Concerts
the first meeting of the new
executive council yesterday af
ternoon, it was decided to appropri
ate $iouu Irom stu
dent funds to aid in
building three addi
tional fields for in
tra-mural athletics,
providing the board
of regents of the Un
iversity duplicates
the amount.
Through the rec
ommendation of the
publications commit
*
tee, the council Rolf Klep
voted to appoint Rolf Klep editor of
the new student humor magazine,
provision for which wa's made
through previous action of the coun
cil. Douglas Wilson Was named
manager of the new publication.
The expenditure of $3,000 will be
necessary to grade and make the
fields ready for use and because of
the urgent need that these be built
it was felt to be expedient to use
student funds in this way. The
board of regents is very much in
favor with the present plan for im
proving the fields, just west of Hay
ward field and just south of the
new basketball building but due to
shortage of funds is unable to do
it all with University money.
Work to Begin This Spring
As voted by the council, work on
the fields will be started this spring
and they will be ready for use in
the fall.
Action was also taken by the
council to take over the control
and management of the concert se
ries which was formerly taken care
of by a joint student and faculty
committee. It is felt that if the
student body takes over the man
agement of these concerts, they
will be assured and a considerable
amount of money could be realized.
Six Editions of Magazine Planned
It was largely through the ef
forts of Klep that provision for the
new magaine was made. A group
of students and organizations, led
by him have been investigating the
field for a new college magazine
for some time.
The executive council recently
authorized the magazine.
The magazine has not yet been
named. It will combine comic and
literary qualities and will be issued
six times a year or twice each term.
It will probably be similar to the
University of Washington publica
tion, the “Columns”, it is stated.
Course in Personal
Hygiene to be Given
Here in Winter Term
A course in advanced personal
hygiene has been scheduled for next
winter term by the department of
physical education in an effort to
promote the true principles of
healthy living and to discard many
of the common fallacies. It will
be three hours, for the winter term
only.
In working out the new course,
which was the outgrowth of a de
mand on the part of the students
in the beginning hygiene classes
this year, the department announces
that it is for the student body at
large and will not be restricted to
anv group. It is elective and for
men and women.
The three hour course will be a
general information course on all
phases of personal health, but will
o-o deeper into the problems of
healthful living than the beginning
t course. It is not a course in anat
omy or physiology, but a practi
cal informative resume of all the
every day problems.
Delbert Oberteuffer, instructor of
the hygiene classes, will conduct the
new course. His experience at Co
lumbia University, where he re
ceived his master’s degree in health
education in 1924, amply qualifies
him for this phase of physical edu
cation work.

Senior Breakfast
J>LANS for the annual Junior
Senior breakfast, given an
nually under the auspices of the
Y. W., are well under way ac
cording to Miss Magowan. The
breakfast will be held in the
Woman’s building Sunday morn
ing, June 5, at 9 o ’clock. Vir
ginia Keeney is in charge of the
affair.
At this breakfast each senior

be posted later.
Congestion at
Library to be
Relieved Soon
Newspapers Will be Moved
To New Extension of
Press Building
“Congestion at the library will be
considerably relieved by the ex
tension to the University press
building,” M. H. Douglas, librarian,
said yesterday. “Part of the ad
dition will be temporarily available
for the storage of newspapers,” he
declared.
“At the present time there are
several hundred volumes of bound
newspapers in the library for which
there is no storage space,” Mr.
Douglass added, “and many more
to come from the bindery in the
near future.” He explained that
storing the volumes in the Univer
sity press building would be a
great inconvenience to those wish
ing to consult the newspapers but
would at the same time provide a
secure place to keep them until
such a time as a new library will
j be built.
Since January 1, 1926, 4229 books
J have been added to the library col
lection. In 1925, 12136 books came
in.
| “The problem of storing books
i this summer when school is out and
; most of them come in from circula
tion,” Mr. Douglass explained, “will
I be a rather difficult one. A year
I from this summer, unless some other
j provision is made,” he concluded,
! “the problem is going to be a ser
i ious one.”

On Press Extension
The old buildings between the
Household Arts building and the
University press are being moved to
make way for an extension 50 by
50 feet to be made on the Press
building. The extension will be
finished by the time school starts
next fall.
A part of the new structure will
be used, for some years, as a stor
age place for books which are now
kept in a room of the journalism
building. A small section will be
used for the advanced class in typo
graphy under the direction of John
Henry Nash, who will be here from
San Francisco part of the time.
Another part of the building will

Oregon, O. A. C.
Women Plan
Sports Event
Play Day Saturday First
Girls’ Athletic Meet
Since 1922
Non-Competitive Idea
Will be Emphasized
Tennis, Canoeing, Hockey,
To be Featured
fiATURDAY of this week the Ore
gon women will combine with 50
representative athletic girls from
O.A.C. to enjoy sport for sport’s
sake. Play Day, as the event has
been termed, is 'being held on this
campus under the auspices of the
Women’s Athletic associations of
the two colleges.
This is the first athletic event be
tween the schools which does not
take the nature of a purely cut
and-dried competitive meet and is
only another move on the part of
Oregon women to get away from
the hard feeling and disappoint
ments of intercollegiate sports as
formerly conducted. It is the first
meeting on the athletic field the
women of Oregon and O.A.C. have
had since 1922.
Tennis, Canoeing, To Be Features
The morning program will include
tennis, canoeing, and hockey. The
first two events will be purely ex
hibition, with the exception of the
tennis doubles. In the doubles an
Oregon girl and an O.A.C. girl will
compete against a like pair. This
arrangement of mixed teams has
been carried entirely through the
program in order to avoid the least
semblance of competition.
Horseback riding will be demon
strated in the afternoon, with a
team of six of the . visiting girls
doing stunts in this event as well
as the University women. Base
ball heads the list of afternoon ac
tivities. A social swim for every
body and a picnic supper on the
campus lawn are features of the
program.
Original Dances to Be Given
Following the picnic supper a
number of original dances will be
given by the guests and the last
thing in the evening Orcliesis, dan
cing honorary, will present “Dream
Gate”, a pantomime with dances.
The Orchesis contribution to the
program will be staged on the south
side of the walk that connects with
the two halls of residence. The
picnic supper is to be held above
this site, and between the halls and
the Woman’s building. The crowd
will move down to occupy the lower
lawn for the pantomime, which de
picts the adventures of a mortal
child in the fairie world for the
space of one hour. -

Students of Twelve
Nations to Present
Festival Pageantry
Japanese to Give One-act
Drama, ‘The Goddess
Of the Sea’
The fate of the world hung upon
a woman’s decision. Should she
look through the door, just take
one peek, or should she remain hid
den. The Goddeste of the Sun made
her decision—the good Gods, those
of Peace, Strength, Power, Love,
and Justice, seized their advan
tage—the world was again bathed
in sunlight, and the gibbering dev
ils departed.
All this and more is promised
those who see the Festival of Na
tions in Guild theater next Friday
and Saturday night. Twelve na
tions will present a pageant spon
sored by the Cosmopolitan club,
which will illustrate the customs of
these nations.
Three acts, “The Goddess of the
Sun,” the Japanese act, “The
Ghost,” presented by the Filipino
club, and “The Choice of Hercules”,
a Grecian drama in one act, are
featured on the program. “The
Ghost”, centers around modern
woman’s choice between the
“ghost’,’ of independence, individu
ality, and womanhood, or willing
subserviance, loving obedience, and
motherhood.
“The Choice of Hercules” is a
part of Xenophon’s, “Recollections
of Socrates,” dramatized by Christ
Loukas, Greek student, who also
plays the part of Hercules. The
play is being directed by Miss Flo
rence Wilbur, head of the dramatics
department, and the dancing by
Miss Lilian Stupp, dancing instruc
tor in the department of physical
education. The theme centers
around the choice made by man
when he is about to leave the period
of adolescence between a life of
vice or one of virtue.
Coaches Claim Title
In Baseball Realm
By Contested Game
The lawyers’ reign of baseball su
premacy has ended. By refusing to
continue the tilt against the Physi
cal Education majors yesterday
when the latter were just about to
stage a monster batting rally, the
shysters lost their claim to the
campus title.
The lawyers were ahead by a few
runs when the matinee ended so
abruptly, but Hobson, the P. E.
spitball artist, was mowing the op
position down like ripe grain, and
Reinhart, imported catcher, was
catching ljke Rudolph Valentino
might if Rudy were a ball player.
“Shucks,” said Hobson, after the
game, “Where do them lawyers get
that champiorf stuff? Pooh, pooh!
I had to ease up or my fielders
would never of had any exercise.
No wonder they are scared of me.”
Del Oberteuffer, physical educa
tion first sacker, fielded like Hal
Chase, dropping less than three
fourths of his chances. Sherman
Smith, umpire, was the outstanding
law school luminary, retiring the
opposition right and left with dead
ly jerks of his good right arm. His
outstanding play came when he re
tired an embryo coach at second
while facing home, and playing
catch with a youngster named Bert
Gooding.
“Plunks” Reinhart dropped in
just as this was being written and
warned us not to forget his two
three baggers.
Miss M. Hair Returns
From Conference
Miss Mozelle Hair, director of cor
respondence study of the extension
division, returned Tuesday evening
from the social workers ’ conference
and fifth annual convocation of the
Portland school of social work held
at the Portland library.
“The conference, which is plan
ned especially for graduates of the
school of social work and nurses
completing the course entitling them
to the certificate for public health
nursing, was one of the most in
teresting and best attended that has
ever been held,” Miss Hair said.
The special feature of the confer
ence was the convocation which was
held at a luncheon meeting on Tues
day. Arthur Evans Wood, director
of social service curriculum of the
University of Michigan, was the
principal speaker.

will journey to Seavey’s ferry in
a fleet of trucks Friday afternoon
and the freshmen will frolic at Mid
way the same day.
The juniors are planning one of
the “unforgettable affairs of the

some basis with Dean McCluskey's
Oregon Aggravators furnishing the
syncopation from 5:00 to 8:00.
Prizes for Dancing Offered
Prizes for dancing, for novelty
races, a baseball game between the
“See Reds” and the “Golf Sox”,

of the headliners at this galaxy of
events. The special train will re
turn about 8:30. Mrs. Virginia
Judy Esterly, George Turnbull, and
Mrs. and Mrs. Walter Snyder will
chaperone the party.
The sophomores promise the “big
gest and best” class gathering of
the season. It will be strictly a
no-date affair, according to Don
McCook, general chairman. Trucks
will leave Villard hall at 3:00 and
4:00 o’clock Friday afternoon and
will not return until 10:30.
The entertainment, in "charge of
Frank Riggs, is headed by an ath
letic contest between the singlo
and “married” men early in the
evening. George Weber’s orches
tra will furnish music for dancing.
Riggs says he has more unusual
features planned for this dance
than the Seven Seers had at their
masquerade.
Junior Officers to Be Installed
Helen Mannary, who is in charge
of refreshments, has departed from
the usual picnic fare and will serve
a Surprise menu. Benoit McCros
key, class president, will install the

dances, swimming, all you can eat
and a special feature that will be
announced tomorrow. The class
will be transported to the scene of
the picnic without individual ex
pense on streetcars.

Frosh Trackmen
T o Participate
In Seattle Meet
Sixteen Men to Take Trip
To Vie With Huskies;
Competition Keen
As a result of the tryouts held
! yesterday, 16 frosh placed on the
team that will meet the University
of Washington babes next Saturday
at Seattle. Coaches Bill Hayward
and Earl Leslie picked 17 men but
either Runar Rasmus or Bill Craw
ford will be left here as both have
been under the weather for the
past week.
One surprising feature of the
tryouts yesterday was the work of
the weight artists, George Stager
and Mark Sanderson, who threw the
shot and discus far and wide. Ernest
McKitrick ran a good half mile,
with Rasmus close on his heels.
The two sprinters, Creed Cheshire
and Arthur Ord, will meet some
tough competition in Seattle as the
Washington babes boast of some of
the best sprinters seen there in
many a day. They also look good
in the hurdle races, but both Loye
McGee and Bob Foster will furnish
them with plenty of competition for
the afternoon. The Washington
yearlings have six men who have
had much experience and through
them they expect to romp off with
the meet. “Spike” Leslie will ac
company the team to Seattle, which
will leave sometime Friday after
noon. The following men will make
the trip; 100 and 220 yard dashes;
Creed Cheshire and Arthur Ord; 440
yard dash; .Toe Standard and Jack
Jones; half mile; Ernest McKitrick
and Runar Rasmas; miie run; Har
old Little and Edwin Jensen: high
and low hurdles; Bob Foster and
Loye McGee: broad jump; Arthur
Ord and Loye McGee: high jump;
Ralph McCulloch and Bill Craw
ford: pole vault; Joe Brown: dis
cus and shot put; George Stager
and Mark Sanderson; javelin throw;
George Burnell and Bob Foster: re
lay; Standard, Jones, McKitrick and
Little.
Intra-Mural Baseball
Series Takes Third
Round This Week-end
This Friday, May 21, will mark
the opening of the third round of
intra-mural baseball, which will
continue practically all day Satur
day, May 22. There are but eight
teams left in the race out of seven
teen that started, the others having
been defeated and one having with
drawn because of “insufficientus
players.”
The Sigma Ui Tau-Delta Tau
Delta tilt, which was to have been
played several weeks ago, but which
was postponed due to various con
flicting causes, will probably be
played before the start of the third
round, providing the weather and
participants are in favor.
The schedule of games in the
third round follows:
Friday, May 21, Fijis verus Be
tas, 4 o’clock. Saturday, May 22,
Sigma Chi versus Theta Chi, 9 a.
m. A. T. O. versus Phi Belts, 1
p. m. Phi Psi versus (winner of
Sigma Pi Tau-Delta Tau Delta
match.) 3 p. m.
All games will be played on the
frosh diamond, unless otherwise
stated in the Emerald.
Pitcher Plants Sent
To Botany Department
About 100 small pitcher plants
were sent to the University botany
department recently by Alton Kar
dell, a freshman on the campus last
term, who collected the specimens
near his home in Marshfield, Ore
gon. They were used as laboratory
subjects last week.

E. F. Flynn Will Describe
Travels of Pioneers at
Assembly
Speaker Director in
Great Northern Railway
Talk Will Include Plans
for Modern Expedition
JJOW many people remember who
the earliest pioneers were and
what they contributed to the devel
opment of the country 1 Because
there are comparatively few who
know the history of our own coun
try, railway companies are endeav
oring to revive enthusiasm by pla
cing memorials along the travelled
routes and by organized expeditions.
It is of this movement that E. I*.
Flynn, assistant to the vice-presi
dent and general counsel, and di
rector of public relations of the
Great Northern railway will address
tlie associated students at assembly
today.
The subject of his address is “The
Columbia Biver Historical Expedi
tion”, which will leave Chicago for
the west on July 15, to traverse
the entire Columbia Biver region,
and will include a study of the early
explorers, forts and events.
Members of the expedition party
will be selected from the histori
cal associations of the United
States and Canada. Dean F. G.
Ypung of the sociology department,
who is secretary of the Oregon his
torical association, will probably be
one of the representatives. Addi
tional members of the party, and a
special feature of the expedition
this year, will be several French and
American high school students, the
winners in an oratorical contest be
tween France and this country on
the question of good will.
Flynn Public Relations Expert
Mr. Flynn is well known over the
country for his public relations
work. He is known as being inter
ested in community problems, and
goes out from St. Paul, where he
has his headquarters, to give ad
dresses in the interest of good will.
Ho says, in the “Great Northern
Goat” a monthly publication of the
Great Northern railway, “Let ub re
member we should decide all ques
tions between individuals or cor
porations just the same as we would
decide if wo were sitting on a jury
in court.” Each month under
Flynn’s “minute Editorials” in the
“Goat”, concise thoughts on import
ant questions appear.
Before entering the service of the
Great Northern, Mr. Flynn was a
member of the American Law
League and a practicing private
lawyer. He was a visitor on the
University campus last fall, addres
sing Dr. Crockatt’s classes in trans
portation. He demonstrates an in
terest in all problems that come up
in daily life as shown' in his edit
orials. In one which he calls “The
Bank of Life”, he says, “A bank
and life treat us just the same. The
world doesn’t owe us a living any
more than a bank owes us the right
to borrow money. Both the bank
and the world will help us if we
first demonstrate the right to be
aided.”
“Hate Does Not Save Country"
He expresses his opinon on public
relations, in which he is directly in
terested, in his “Politicians and
Statesmen.” Neither denuncia
tion, hate nor prejudice ever saved
a life or a country,” is his conclu
sion.
In speaking of the Columbia Bi
ver Historical Expedition which Mr.
Flynn will discuss in detail, Dean
Young mentioned some of the ora
tors who will make the trip and
who will speak at points of histor
ical interest. The probable list in
cludes T. C. Elliot, Hon. Lawrence
Burpee, Judge Charles L. Carry,
Frederick J. Turner, Judge F. W.
Howay and Frederick V. Holman,
all men who are interested in the
history revival movement.
The musical number of the assem
bly program will be a vocal selec
