To-Ko-Lo Society
Elects New Officers
TESTER JOHNSON, freshman
baseball and basketball play
er, was elected president of
To-Ko-Lo, men’s sophomore hon
orary society, at the annual elec
tion of officers last night. A1
Boyden was selected by the mem
bers for the position of vice
president, Art Anderson, for sec
retary - treasurer, and William
Crawford and Elwood Enke for
guards.
To-Ko-Lo has been very active
in campus activities during the
past year, according to retiring
officers. The society has had
charge of the freshmen parade,
library steps and numerous other
traditional campus activities.
The retiring officers are: Art
Priaulx, president, Walter Cush
man, vice-president, Jack Hemp
stead, secretary-treasurer.
O. A. C.-U. of O.
Play Day to Be
Held Saturday
Friendliness With Social
Mingling Feature of
Girls’ Meet
From 9:00 o’clock tomorrow morn
ing until late in the evening Ore
gon co-eds and girls from O. A. C.
will mix on the campus in the first
Play Day, an institution used for
the first time this year between
the two colleges.
'Canoeing, tennis, hockey, base
ball, and a social swim will be the
athletic events of the day.
The idea of the participants is to
make Play Day a happy, get-to
gether, fun event between the
schools, with no hint of the slight
est element of competition. In
each event that “matched” sides
are needed, both teams will be
composed of an equal number of
Oregon and O. A. C. women.
The canoeing will be purely dem
onstration work. The class finals
will be run off and a four-crew
team will demonstrate crew work.
This is the first use of crewing, as
such, to be shown on the mill race
by the girls.
The tennis singles will also bo ex
hibition wrork, but the doubles will
be the mixed teams.
One feature of the day is that no
girl will enter more than one ath
letic event, thus giving as many
girls as possible a part in the play
of the day. The 10 girls that will
take part in baseball and the 11
girls will compose Oregon’s share
of the hockey event have already
been chosen. It has been the in
tention of the members of the
women’s physical education depart
ment, which helped to select the
teams, to place the representative
girls in the sport which they excel
in, as well as to give all an oppor
tunity.
The visiting girls will be taken
to the various living organizations
to lunch. At 5:30 o’clock visitors
and hosts will meet on the lawn
just in front of the Woman’s build
ing for the big finale of the day—
a picnic supper.
“Dream Gate” a pantomine, will
be presented by the members of
Orchesis immediately after the sup
per. This promises to be a picture
sque climax to Play Day, and is
open to the public. It will begin
probably at 6:45.
National Officers Here
To Install Fraternity

party” for the freshmen girls will
be given. Dime-crawljs, the pro
ceeds of which go toward the for
eign scholarship, will also be repeat

sale was so successful, it will be
repeated next year, and also April
Frolic. A campus circus will be
inaugurated on the campus next
year, announced the president, if
plans are successful.
Anna DeWitt, retiring president,
who installed the new officers at
the meeting, reported on the West
ern Cectional conference of inter
collegiate women, which she and
Kathryn Ulrich recenetly attended
at Los Angeles. They brought back
many good ideas for Oregon’s Wom

leges were represented, making 70
girls, and the deans of women also
attended the conference. A discus
sion on “Adjusting Freshmen Wom
en t6 Your Campus” was given by
the University of Colorado. There
they bring an expert to the campus
for the first two weeks of each
year to help the freshmen.
Honor System Discussed
The practical application of the
honor system is not much improve
ment over the old system, in most
places. A discussion of prominent
organization was given by the Uni
versity of Nevada and a report of
finances by the University of Ore
gon. The president stated that this
University ranks among the first
in a competent financial program.
“We obtained many ideas just by
talking to the girls,” said Miss De
Witt.
The treasurer’s report showed a
balance of $1,053.55 for Women’s
League, $170.15 of which was
cleared at April Frolic.
The new officers are: president,
Kathryn Ulrich; vice-president,
Catherine Struplere; secretary,
Nancy Peterson; treasurer, Harriet
Osborne; reporter, Margaret Long;
sergeant-at-arms, Elaine Crawford.

ir --.
The Portland Center Star, the
Portland extension division news
paper which is printed three times

day.
According to the Star, Dr. E. S.
Conklin, head of the department of
psychology at the University, .vdl

44Johnson” Monicker
Proves Dark Horse
'"pHE old “dope” about Smith,
Brown, and Jones being the
three most popular surnames in
America misses the truth by
just one-third, according to a
tabulation of the common names
from the Oregon directory of the
last three years and of the
alumni directory. Johnson has
supplanted Brown, just as a
Maryland man, who is writing
an article on the frequency of
names, has predicted.
Only the alumni nomenclature
attempted to uphold the dignity
of Brown, thereby sacrificing
Jones to Johnson. Otherwise the
new order—Smith, Johnson, and
Jones — reign supreme at
Oregon. In 1923-24 the Smiths’
had 16; the Johnsons’ 18; and
Jones’ 16; last year there were
28 Smiths; 10 Jones; and 18
Johnsons; and this year there
are 42 Smiths; 17 Jones; and 40
Johnsons.
Fine Arts Fund
To Receive $100
From Seniors
Entire Class Votes to Join
Alumni Group; Other
Money Voted
,_ f
The last senior meeting of the
year was held yesterday afternoon.
At this time it was decided to give
$100 as a gift for the Fine Arts
building. Fifty dollars was voted
to be paid for the senior section of
the Semi-Centenial edition of the j
Emerald. The rest of the money in
the treasury is to be used to buy
a year’s membership in the Alumni
Association and one year’s subscrip
tion of Old Oregon for each member
of the class of 1926.
The *two spot lights belonging
to the class were turned over to
the jurisdiction of the Executive
Council.
All seniors were requested to
meet in front of the old library by
the Senior Bench, next Thursday
just before the assembly hour for
a group picture of the class for
publication in Old Oregon.
The senior class was urged to at
tend the annual Alumni luncheon
on the Saturday before commence
ment. Those graduating will wear
their caps an/1 gowns, and at that
time they will be given all litera
ture on the graduation exercises.
Salem High Defeats
Freshman Nine 7 to 5
In one of the hardest fought base
ball battles of the season the Sa
lem high school nine defeated the
University of Oregon yearling nine
7 to 5 in a fray played on the var
sity diamond yesterday afternoon.
Coach Harry Ellinger used three
pitchers in yesterday’s battle and
were touched for 14 safe hit*?.
McDonald started on the |inound
with Emmons taking a fling at the
job and Evans finishing the game.
The freshman hit the offerings of
Lyons and Fabry for only 9 bingles.
This afternoon and tomorrow the
yearling nine face the O.A.C. Books
on the Corvallis diamond in the
last two games of their series. In
the two previous fracases the Books
were victors by a large score.
Liquid Air Treatment
Used for Poison Oak
“Liquid air treatment for poison
oak has been used with some suc
cess at the University of California
and at the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege,” said Dr. Fred N. Miller of
the University Health Service, “but
it is yet in an experimental stage.”
Dr. Miller stated that we do not
have it here because it still an ex
periment and is very expensive to
install. The treatment consists in
freezing the tissues, and killing
the poison oak. It is sprayed on
the irritation several times in se
vere cases, but one application has
often been found to be sufficient
for ordinary eases.
Dean Hale to Leave

iversity of Oregon law school, will

Prospects For
Varsity Track
Appear Better
Cripples’ Return Brings
Ray of Light among
Cinder Artists
Multnomah Meet Will
Offer Good Work-out
Team Pointed for O. A. C.
Contest May 29
BY WEB JONES
nPHE return of the cripples to the
track squad this week sent a ray
of light into the after-conference
meet gloom which has pervaded
Hayward field. The Multnomah
meet in the immediate offing ap
pears to be merely a good workout
for the varsity team. By no means
will the competition be easy but it
will be enough to bring out all the
heretofore hidden strength for the
last time before the “Big meet” of
the year on May 29 at Corvallis.
Vic Wetzel, javelin thrower, dis
cus tosser, and shot heaver, who has
been reclining lazily in the sun on
Hayward field to “sun out” his in
jured arm which has prevented
work, is now back in the harness
and Bill Hayward says he will be
able to work with both the shot and
discus but will not be able to play
with the spear this season. That
puts the mentor in a bad place for
a javelin thrower.
Holder May Not Bun
“Doubtful” was the way Bill
characterized the case of Tom Hold
er, one of the most promising two
milers ever seen on Hayward oval,
who was forced to quit work with
a broken ankle bone. Holder has
been warming up swathed in tape
and bandages, and the other night
he ran several laps. If he improves
he will be able to enter the Big
Meet.
The entire turnout will be entered
in the Multnomah fracas and the
best three men in each event will
be picked to make the trip to Cor
vallis. There will be juggling of
events, for Bob Overstreet is trying
his legs on the quarter and Bill
Prendergast, erstwhile quarter man,
is to run the 220. The rest of the
crew, varsity, super-varsity and jog
gers will enter their respective
events.
Olympic Player to Come
Multnomah, from reports received,
is no set up by any means. Chief
among the athletes who make
a wholesale invasion of the campus
Saturday will be the Olympic fa
mous Ralph Spearow, who once,
while vaulting for Oregon, came
within a lia:r of making a coast
record with the bar set at 13 feet
6 inches. The vault, which he bare
ly missed, wa|s the feature of the
afternon. He will enter the high
jump where he approaches 6 feet
and any number of other events—
for he has won track meetB
almost single handed in the hey
dcy of his career.

Amphibians to Sport
In Sea Garden Pool
SEA GARDEN effect,under
water will be one of the novel
decorative schemes that will
greet persons who come out at
7:15 this evening to see the Am
phibian swimming exhibition in
the tank of the Woman's build

R. Bailey Goes
To Moscow for
Tri-State Meet
“Heroes in the Battle of
Life”, Topic of Oregon
Speaker
“Heroes in the Battle of Life,”
an oration advocating freedom of
thought, is the subject which Ralph
Bailey, Oregon's entrant in the
northwest Tri-State contest at Mos
cow, will deliver tomorrow night.
Bailey has completed a three month
period of preparation under the
coaching of J. Stanley Gray, head
of the department of public speak
ing. The event is the last on Ore
gon 's forensic calendar, and it is
believed chances of winning it for
the second year in succession are
excellent.
Bailey, accompanied by Jack
Hempstead, general forensic man
ager who is making the trip in
stead of the coach, leaves this af
tlernoon on the Southerni JPacific
for Spokane from where they will
go to the University of Idaho at
Moscow Saturday morning.
The oration makes an appeal for
the extension of monetary support
and public recognition to the moat
talented men in the various fields
of human endeavor such as science,
arts, politics and sociology. Bailey
believes that through government
bureaus, churches and schools, we
would have a systematic subsidizing
of our advanced thinkers. He con-1
tends that the American public
should accept the intellectual work
of their pioneer thinkers in order
to insure advance of Western civ
ilization.
With this event, the Oregon man
completes a four year forensic
career in which he has made an
enviable record. In his freshman
year he was on the Oregon debate
team which defeated (Washington
2 to I. He lost the same Tri-State
