i VOLUME XXVII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENB, TUSDAY, MAY 25, 1926 NUMBER 138 Oregon-O. A. C. Women Enjoy First Play Day “Dream Gate” Presented By Orchesis; Fairies Gambol on Lawn Swimming, Hockey, Tennis, Feature Day & Event May Become Annual Affair on Campuses By GENEVIEVE MORGAN rpHE latest quirk in -women’s ath ■*" letics at Oregon was tried in the balance Saturday, and found not wanting. At least that was the verdict of the O. A. C. players and staff, as well as of the Oregon women and instructors in women’s physical education. Between 30 and 40 women made the trip from O. A. C. Nor did it seem out -of keeping with this initial Play Day that it should close coincident with the re tirement of the mortal child from an hour’s enchantment in the fairy world, as depicted in the panto mime, “Dream-Gate,” rendered by Orchesis under the direction of Miss Lillian Stupp. For Play Day was a day when the cares and wor ries of competition were thrown to the wind and the women of the two institutions frolicked together for the pure enjoyment of the sport. Orchesis Puts on Play “Dream-Gate” was staged on the campus lawn between the two halls of residence, with the cement wall and its alcove used as a back ground. Two guards of the fairy world held the gate of the happy land, and it was through this that the mortal child made its appear ance and took its dismissal from the Play life. As the alloted hour ends the child finds her playmates of the enchanted valley, the Rab bit, the Poppies, the Gentian, the Canterbury Bells, and the Dande lion, turned to stony lumps of life, and sorrowfully takes her leave. The athletic events of the day went off on schedule order, with the visitors on hand in time to wit ness the canoeing exhibition, the first part of the program held at 9:00 o’clock in the morning. . The O. A. C. and Oregon girls who composed two sets of doubles for the tennis matches apparently found as much enjoyment in playing mix ed pairs (one Oregon and one visit ing girl on each side of the net) as they would have in a strenuous competitive match. Nor did the match lag, even if there was no school’s athletic “honor” at stake. Sports Program Large And so the spirit of the day con tinued through hockey, baseball, and horseback riding. The latter was purely demonstration work, with both guests and hosts putting the horses through the paces. After the horsebacking came the social in the woman’s tank. It was a swim for the swim’s pleasure and for the joy derived in meeting on an equal footing with the visiting girls. The picnic supper which was to have been held on the campus lawn was changed to the sun parlor in the Woman’s building at the last moment, due to the chill of the eve ning. During the supper the visi tors entertained the crowd with a couple of stunt clogs. Then follow ed the Orchesis pantomime dance. Friendly Spirit Present “There was a spirit of spontaneity and casualness about the whole af fair which made it a happy event and one much better than the ord inary competitive meet,” said Miss Florence D. Alden, head of the wom en ’s department of physical educa tion. Miss Alden said that the vis itors had expressed a desire that the Oregon women visit them on a like occasion next year, so there is every possibility of Play Day becoming an annual event. Other members of the physical education staff also expressed plea sure at the outcome of the day. EPRESENTING the University Oregon in the last intercol legiate contest of the year, Ralph Bailey, senior in economics, won the Tri-state oratory event at Moscow, Idaho, Saturday night, speaking upon the subject “Heroes in the Battle of Life.” As winner, he was awarded first prize of $100 donated by E. F. Blaine, Seattle attorney and sponsor of tlii® annual affair. The University of Washington, represented by Lawrence Selzer, senior in law from Spokane, won second place. His subject was “Po litical Decadence or Political Change.” Don Smith, of Spokane, representing the University of Ida ho, host to the northwest institu tions in the contest, placed third. He spoke on “America and World Peace.” Judges were: Professor E. D. Lewis, head of the English depart ment at Lewiston, Idaho, Normal; Professor C. K. Langworthy, head of English department at Washing ton State College, Pullman; and A. H. Oversmith, judge and attor ney of Moscow. Bailej; Given Two Firsts Bailey was awarded two firsts with two perfect percentages on the basis of both thought and com position. The Washington State College judge gave him second place under the actual winner of second place, the Washington entrant. Oregon Man Superior At no time during the contest was there any doubt as to the out come, the Oregon man having a clear margin of superiority in public speaking ability over his two com petitors. This victory winds up an active four year forensic career for Bailey who has debated eight times for the University in addition to being in two oratorical contests. He plans to enter the Failing-Beek man contest on June 12. Complete schedules for north west forensic events between the three state institutions were made during the week-end at Idaho. The northwest men’s triangle debate be tween Oregon, Washington and Ida ho will be held on Thursday, Febru ary 25, 1927. A tentative subject to be used under the new Oregon style debate then, is that of evo lution and fundamentalism. The varsity women will debate in a tri angle next year with these same schools on Thursday April 7. The date for the Tri-State contest next year here at Oregon has been set "for Thursday April 28. Military Uniforms Due Before June 3 R.O.T.C. uniforms may be turned in to the military department be ginning Thursday, May 27, to and ine’ading noon Saturday, and con tinuing from Tuesday, June 1 until Thursday, June 3, which will be the last day. Sergeant Agule requests students not to detach collar and cuff orna ments, or the R.O.T.C. “O” from the uniforms. Since equipment has been lost or misplaced by students this year, he wishes all students having extra articles in their pos session to returq, them to their owners, or to turn them in at the barracks, where attempts will be made to credit them to the right person. Dorothy Dixon Takes Position of Librarian Dorothy Dixon, assistant in the reference department of the library has accepted the position of libra rian at Pacific university, Forest Grove. Miss Dixon graduated from the University in June 1925, she worked as student assistant in the library the four years that she was in school. She will remain in Eugene until September continuing her work in the reference department of the University library until she goes to take her new position at that time. Booths to Open for Oregana Next Month fT'HE 1926 Oreganas will be ready for distribution around June 1, says Arthur Priaulx, managing editor of the year book. The printing of the an nuals is finished, Koke-Chapman Printing Company of Eugene having done the work. Booths, under the superivsion of Jim Manning, circulation man ager, will be placed at conspicu ous places on the campus and will be open during the first couple of days after the year books are out. Students will pay the remaining $2.50 on the books at these booths and re ceive their copy. It will be nec essary for those who fail to get their books at those booths to get them at Jack Benefiel’s of fice. Junior, Senior Women Asked To Read Lists Breakfast to Be June 5 Names Are Posted At Library Junior and senior girls are ad vised to consult the list of senior women and their junior escorts for the annual Junior-Senior break fast June 5. These lists are posted in the library and at the Y.W.C.A. Bungalow. “We want all seniors invited to be provided with junior escorts,” Misfi Florence Magowan said yester iay. “Tickets will bo available be fore the end of the week. Juniors ire expected to buy tickets. This should not be considered unduly heavy expense as the tickets for the junior girl and her escort are mly 50 cents. This price will cover ill charges for herself and for her ruest. We are counting on the juniors to assume a.real responsi bility in this and to see that their seniors are properly cared for. Oregon Defeats Multnomah on Track 78V2 52V2 Sprints and Broad Jump Strong Events for O.A.C. Meet The victory of the Oregon track team over Multnomah club last Saturday on Hayward field by the sccre of 78 1-2 to 52 1-2 brought out the sprint strength of the team which has failed to be shown this year. The sprints with Jerry Extra run ning a half foot behind Benfro in both events with the fast time of 10 flat in the hundred and 22.7 in the furlong makes those two events with Prod Flanagan in the broad jump the strongest onee on the line up for the coming O.A.C. meet. Otherwise the events were slow and the meet, although run off in ideal weather, failed to bring out any startling performances on the part of the Oregon entries. Tom Holder who ran for three laps in the two mile and then was taken out by Bill Hayward, will probably be in shape Friday for the trip to Corvallis. The summary: Mile—Kelly, Oregon, first; Beal, Multnomah; Cook, Oregon. Time 4:36.4. 100-yard dash—Benfro, Multnomah, first; Extra Oregon; Holt and Kel sey, Oregon tied for third.

(Continued on page four) Greater-Oregon Job Given to Dudley Clark Oregon-Aggie Baseball Mix At 3:30 Today Contest Is First of Series To Determine Second Conference Seat Ashby, Winters to Vie . In Pitcher’s Stand Hobson and Bliss Enter Field for Last Time TNTERCOLLEGIATE baseball in ■“"the western section of the North-j west conference will terminate this week with the Oregon and Oregon -jie nines taking part in three ,-hting contests, the first of which will be played on Reinhart field 3:30 ths afternoon. The two teams will meet with nothing in sight but the champion ship of the State of Oregon and second place in conference circles. The Washington Huskies took the title when they defeated the Beav ers in Seattle last Saturday. This means that the Washington nine will play Idaho in a three-game ser ies to decide the Northwest champ ionship within the coming two weeks. To get back to the Oregon-Beaver tilt the boys from Corvallis and Coach Ralph Coleman will arrive here sometime during the early af teroon today and will hie them selves toward the field with ven geance as their by-word for the day’s play. Varsity Wins First Contest Oregon nicked the Corvallis crew in the first game played earlier this month and another defeat by the Webfooters would let the Aggies slip into the cellar position of the conference. However, with the diminutive Winters of the Beavers hurling ball as he did against the Huskies last week, an upset may happen. Rather than take a chance, Bill Ashby, Reinhart’s star flinger, will take the mound to wipe out the Aggie hitters. Aggies Have Good Sluggers Coach Coleman lays claim to hav ing a team of ball sluggers and in case they get next to the slants of Ashby, the Webfoot mentor will en ter Bill Baker into the fray. In case he is unable to stop the on slaught the Webfooters will be due for a loss. The Oregonians have started their hitting power to the front as was shown during the St. John’s Bear game here Saturday in which the varsity won 16 to 0. Lynn Jones, Adolph, Hobson, Bliss, and all the other heavy stick ers were up in perfect form and are liable to fall on the Aggie hurling staff. Finals Games This Week-End Friday and Saturday the two teams will fight it out in the final games of the season. The outcome of these would not stand for pre diction, it is thought, as both teams have but two hurlers of ability and both will be used during the week, leaving the final game to the will of the Gods. The contests will be played in Corvallis. Bliss and Hobson will enter their final inter-collegiate ball games this week as both have reached the end of their third year of varsity ball. The remainder of the lineup for the throe games will include Adolph, first; Kiminki, shortstop; Jones, third jReinliart, Edwards and Mimnaugh, outfielders. In case Ray Williams is called upon to hurl he also will terminate his college ca reer in baseball circles. Two Cases of Mumps Reported on Campus Robert Maupin, who is at “the Pacific Christian hospital suffering from a broken leg, is reported to be improving. Maupin was struck down by an automobile while at the freshman picnic on Friday. John Renshaw is in the infirmary with the mumps. This makes two cases of mumps on the campus at present. Clinton Mitchell, who was in the infirmary with pneumonia, was moved to the Pacific Christian hos pital this morning. Installation of Latin Honorary Fraternity Planned for May 26 Beta Chapter of Pi Sigma, na tional honorary Latin fraternity, will be installed at the University Wednesday evening. Formal installation will take place in Alumni hall of the Wo men’s building at 5:30 Wednesday. The chapter charter and the pins of the individual members will be presented at that time. Frederick S. Dunn, head of the Latin department, has been des ignated by the officers of Alpha chapter at the University of Cali fornia as installing officer. A 6:30 a banquet will be held at the College Side Inn. Members of both Pi Sigma, and Collegium Augustale are invited. Francis F. Power, president-elect of Pi Sigma will preside. Professor Dunn pointed out the fact that Societas Quirinale, a local Latin society, was active on the campus from 1898 and that it was the only honor society on the cam pus at the time. It was abandoned about 1906 when inroads were I made on the Latin department by vocational studies which diminished I the classes. A second Latin society was or ganized in 1923 and called Collegi um Augustale. It is still active. Pi Sigma is formed within Collegi um Augustale tpit since all who are members of the local organization are not eligible to be members of Pi Sigma, the local will be contin ued. The new organization plans to hold two meetings a month. Mem bers of Collegium Augustale will be invited to one of those meet ing. Following is a list of members of the new society: Mrs. Margarite Clark, Lillie Christopherson, Mary Crombie, Catherine Enright, Alta Davis, Lois Inman, Olga Jackson, Kathryn McAyeal, Ethel Mevig, Francis F. Powers, Kenneth Ruth,: Tyra Rylander, Helen Igoe. Prof. I Frederic S. Dunn, head of the Latin department, and Dean John Straub are ex-officio membens. Thacher Discusses Plans in Portland for Big Eugene Pageant Professor W. F. G. Thacher, of the school of journalism, was in Port land last Saturday to discuss plans for the pageant to be given in Eu gene, August 18 and 19. Mr. Thach er stated that Mrs. Doris Smith, who is planning the pageant, and who was active in the planning of “Ro saria,” for the Rose Festival given in Portland last year, is very enthu siastic. “Klatawa,” meaning tra vel or movement is the name, and the object is to depict the develop ment of transportation, from the Indian on foot, the ship, canoe, pony, wagon, pack train, stage coaches, automobile, and city traf fic, up to the latest mode of trans portation, tho aeroplane. Dramatic episodes of these modes of travel, with interludes of ballets, musical numbers, and comedy, are being planned by Mr. Thacher, who is not following the usual outline for a pageant, but developing orig inal ideas in the presentation. Hood River High Wins Debate Prize The Hood River high school to day holds the state championship, debating title, and tho DeCou debat ing cup, donated by E. E. DeCou, professor of mathematics and first secretary of the State High School Debate League, having defeated the Warrenton high school team Satur day in Villard hall, Juliet Forden and Carlisle Roberts of Hood Riv er upheld the negative side on the ] question: “Resolved, That Oregon should adopt the system of free j textbooks in the public schools.” ; Ina Tremblay and Helen Smith, of j Warrenton supported the affirma-1 tive. The judges of the contest were Dean E. C. Robbins, of the school of business administration; J. Stan ley Gray, oratory coach, and Walter Myers, of the Eugene Bible Uni versity. Art Priaulx Named To Be Associate Head Twelve Men Chosen as District Chairmen' For Next Year By M. FISHES ’TVHE first step of the new student administration is the appoint ment of Dudley Clark, general chairman, and Art Priaulx, associ ate chairman of the Greater Oregon committee, which in addition to ita regular duties, will this year serve as the student committee for the semi-centennial celebration to be held this fall. These men announced last night the appointment of 12 men, the pick of 3000 students from a stand-point of efficiency, and executive ability, who will serve as district chairmen in a campaign of the Greater Oregon committee during the summer who will further the cause of the semi - centennial celebration by speeches and programs before every chamber of commerce and high school in the state.

Personality, reliability nnd lecture ability is a requisite in ev ery man. The committee has on its hands one of the largest un dertakings of .any undergraduate committee on the campus. It will have a large part in mak ing a success or failure of the fifti eth anniversary celebration, whiek was characterized by one of the committee as being “fifty yearn of homecoming.” Alumni to Help in Plana Alumni and friends of the Uni versity are being solicited to help plan programs and lectures in their own districts, under the direction of the district chairmen.
