SEARCH for the body of Harold
Mangum, which went on all day
yesterday, will be renewed today
with increased diligence and hope.
Two men, from the Port of Portland
life-saving crew, who are experts
in grappling, will aid the students
and townspeople who all day yes
terday dragged the bottom of the
river from the portage to the Co
burg bridge.
Six boats, donated by downtown
men and by residents on the Mc
Kenzie, and manned by University
of Oregon students and Eugene peo
ple dragged both sides of the river
for about three miles without suc
cess.
David Langmack, owner of the
aeroplane located at the Eugene
municipal airport, and A1 Clark,
.senior in the University, flew over
the river from Santa Clara to above
the point where the canoe upset yes
terday morning. Although the river
was very muddy, they saw an ob
ject near the gravel shovel of A. C.
Mathews’ gravel plant. An investi
gation by boatmen revealed only a
sack of cans.
The river lowered considerably
and cleared somewhat Tuesday. The
flyers will go up again tomorrow
and with the clearer water may be
able to see to the bottom of the
river.
Early this morning the searching
party headed by Ted Gillenwaters
dropped a dummy with a float tied
to it into the river to get the drift.
It moved about 300 yards in five
hours.
Work was suspended last night
and the party will go out today at
7 with the men from Portland. Dean
H. Walker, dean of men, said yes
terday that great credit was due
the men in the searching party,
both townspeople and students, for
their work, and to the boat owners.
A definite organization has been
formed by Dean Walker, and the
search is being conducted accord
ing to a regular plan. Yesterday
more students came out and offered
to serve than were needed but will
be put on the shift later. Only those
who are experienced in handling
boats and who can swim are being
used.
With the aid of experienced men,
the airplane, and clearer and lower
water the searchers hope that today
they will recover the body.
Eugene Gray' Among 40
To Survive Screen Test
Eugene Gray is one of the forty
students selected for final choice
Monday, May 23, from more than
300 screened in the First National
Pictures and College Humor test,
according to a telegram received to
day from John McCormick, general
manager of the west coast produc
tions of the First National Picture
Studios, Burbank, California. Gray
has a good opportunity to be select
ed for a contract, the telegram said.
The more than 100 persons on the
judging committee for the final 10
will be executives of the First Na
tional Pictures in conjunction with
newspaper syndicate men, Motion
Picture magazine, and motion pic
ture trade paper editors.
Gray is a junior and a member of

Girl! More Girls!
Cry Prom Chairmen
ffTTTHAT we need is more
W girls! ” This frantic call
is issued en masse by Bill Powell,
general chairman of the Junior
Prom directorate; Mark Taylor,
assistant chairman; and Stuart
Ball, chairman of the decora
tions committee. They want more
helpers, men and women, to re
port at McArthur; court this
afternoon any time from one
until five o’clock to work on the
Aztec decorations.
But what they want mainly is
junior girls. Until more of them
appear to help sew on the mater
ial for drapes the work cannot
progress rapidly, they say. All
the drapes must be made and
hung on the walls before the rest
of the decorations can be put in
place.
So you see, girls, it all de
pends on you!
Finance Report
Shows Increase
In Expenditures
Larger Payroll Proves
Burden; Emerald
Pays Way
Preliminary report of the finance
committee of the A. S. U. O. shows
a deficit of $3,358.71, resulting from
the unusually large capital outlay
and an increase in payroll. This is
an approximation as expenses for
the entire year are estimated, ac
cording to Jack Benefiel, graduate
manager.
Major improvements made during
the year include band urijforms,
$4023.77; McArthur court equip
ment, $1263.29; football field ser
vice, $1160; athletic fields and base
ball bleachers, $5420. None of these
things will be included in the ex
penses for 1927-28, though the $7200
addition in faculty income will be
continued.
Athletics Profit
Activities that will show the most
profit for this school year are foot
ball and basketball, while the Ore
gana and Webfoot will show but
slight surplus. The Emerald, which
came forward last year, has kept
up its record, Mr. Benefiel states.
“This year’s Oregana is by far
the finest book Oregon has ever put
out. The editor, Frances Bourhill,
and manager, James Manning, de
serve a great deal of credit for their
work, Graduate Manager Benefiel
said. The books will not be out for
Junior week-end, as formerly
planned and advertised. May 27 or
31 has been set as the probable date
for appearance. A page in mebi
oriam of Harold Mangum will be
added to the Oregana.
Casey and Quiett Book
Approved by Clubs
“Principles of Publicity,” by
Ralph D. Casey, professor of jour
nalism, and Glenn C. Quiett, who was
formerly of Tamblyn and Brown Pub
lishing Company, of New York City,
has been recommended to be placed
on the list of Children’s Welfare
Institution Libraries, by the advice
of the publicity department of the
Russell Sage Foundation of New
York.
The National Federation of Wom
en’s Clubs has also accepted it for
use. The general technique of pub
licity and the publicity worker’s
outlook is the main theme of the
book.
Howe Reads Rinsky,
Maeterlinck and Wells
The mysterious one-aet play, “The
Intruder,” by Maeterlinck, opened
Professor H. C. Howe’s reading
yesterday afternoon in Yillard hall.
It is a story of intricate and baffling
suspense. The second number, David
Rinsky’s “The Dollar,” was another
one-act play of decided contrast,
with scintillating humor. The third
number was a short story by H. G.
Wells, “The Obliterated Man,” the
tale of a dramatic critic told in a
light and rather sarcastic vein.
i
.
NOTICE
At least ten men who know
how to swim and handle a boat

Earl Griggs to Come
To Oregon as Assistant
Professor in English
Earl Leslie Griggs, who will ob
tain his doctor’s degree at the Uni
versity of London in July, is coming
to Oregon next year as assistant
professor of English, according to
C. V. Boyer, head of the depart
ment. He will probably teach one
section of Shakespeare, a graduate
course in Coleridge, and courses in
18th and 19th century poetry which
have not been offered here for some
years.
Mr. Griggs attended Princeton
for two years and obtained his B. A.
at the University of Colorado, and
his M. A. at Columbia, where he
taught for a while. After holding a
position as instructor at Minnesota,
he went to London.
“A Biography of Hartley Cole
ridge Compiled from Unpublished
Manuscripts” is the title of the
thesis Mr. Griggs is completing for
his degree.
J. M. Thomas, head of the Eng
lish department at Minnesota, says
of Mr. Griggs that “He is both a
gentleman and a scholar. In spite
of these two handicaps, he is, how
ever, a good teacher.” He is high
ly spoken of by everyone that has
known him, according to Dr. Boyer,
and he gets on well with the stu
dents both in and out of the class
room.

Josef W. Hall
Will Lecture
At Assembly
Author, Traveller, Teacher
Writes Under Pen-name
Upton Close
‘The Revolt of Asia’
Written by Speaker
Globe-trotter Authority on
Far East
UPTON CLOSE, whose non-lit
erary name is Josef W. Hall, a
native of the state of Washington,
writer, college professor, Chinese
cabinet minister, and “perhaps the
most talked of globe-trotter that
this great Pacific northwest has
produced,” will address the students
of the University of Oregon at as
sembly Thursday.
Upton Close is a man of wide ex
perience and of multifarious activ
ities. The Oregonian says of him,
“It is hard to reconcile the scholar
ly Josef W. Hall, lecturer on Pacific
Asia at the University of Washing
ton, co-author of a ponderous ‘Out
line History of China,’ with Upton
Close, who divides his time between
writing two novels simultaneously,
translating Chinese verse for anthol
ogies and magazines, giving popular
lectures, keeping up a correspon
dence with his friends, reviewing
books for the New York Sun and
the Oregonian, playing the piano,
keeping company with his wife and
four children, and designing and
furnishing his own home on the
shore of Lake Washington.”
In his book, “In the Land of the
Laughing Buddha,” Mr. Close tolls
how he came by his peculiar pseud
onym. He sent a telegram from the
interior of China to the authorities
in one of the ports, and “through
some blunder, deliberate or other
wise, the telegram was signed “up
close.” His friends and enemies im
mediately attached the name to him
and from those two words his title
Upton Close was evolved.
Mr. Hall is the author of “The
Revolt of Asia,” a recently pub
lished book dealing with the prob
lem of the Orient, lie has obtained
his information regarding the prob
lems of China and the other Asiatic
countries at first hand, from his ex
periences in the Far East from
where he returned this winter.
The Reverend Bruce J. Gilfen, stu
dent pastor, will give the in vocation
at the assembly.
Three Men Selected
To Judge High School
Debate Championship
Judges have been selected for
the Oregon high school champion
ship debate which will be hold in
Guild hall, Thursday, May 19. Ash
land high and McLaughlin union
high of Milton are competing in the
final contest.
Dean E. C. Robbins of the school
of business administration, J. K.
Horner, Oregon debate coach, and
Robert Prescott of Eugene, former
professor of public speaking in the
University, will act as judges.
Edgar E. DeCou, head of the
mathematics department, will pre
side. Professor DeCou founded the
league of high school debaters just
twenty years ago. He was the first
secretary of the organization, and
is the donor of the cup for which
the schools are competing.
Adena Joy and Richard Joy will
debate for Ashland. Harold Allison,
their coach, will come to the Uni
versity with them. Howard Ireland
and Mildred Murray are the speak
ers from Milton; Harold G. Browic
son, principal of McLaughlin union
high school, will accompany them.
Ashland and McLaughlin high
schools debated in the final contest
two years ago. Ashland at that
time won the state championship.
On the winning team was Barnard
Joy, brother of the two who will
debate here Thursday.

W. E. Milne Chosen
On National Committee
William E. Milne, professor of
mathematics, has been informed of
his appointment as a member of
the committee on numerical inte
"rations of the Division of Physical
Sciences, authority for the estab
j lismhent of which has recently been
given.
Chirman Joseph S. Ames, of the
Division of Physical Sciences oi
the Xationel Research Council in
formed Professor Milne of his ap
jpointment.
Now, Do We Know
She Isn’t All That?
-INTRODUCING “Mrs. Admin
istration”! No, she’s not a
new-comer on the campus; but
this is the first time she has been
known by that appellation.
The name came through the
mail, but the person is none oth
er than Mrs. Clara Pitch, Uni
versity secretary.
A package of questionnaires
plainly addressed “Mrs. Admin
istration, University of Oregon”
just reached her, and Mrs. Pitch
was so struck by the designation
that she has decided to make it
her official, or unofficial, title.
The questionnaires were an
‘‘Intelligence Test for Parents.”
That subject leaves most of the
students free, but Mrs. Fitch has
not yet decided just how she
will distribute them to the fac
ulty.
“How well do you know your
job?” is surely a queer question
to ask a parent, especially a pro
fessor parent. Yet some one
thinks it. should bo asked.
“Mrs. Information” would bo
just as appropriate a title as
“Mrs. Administration,” accord
ing to Mrs. Pitch. The stacks of
tests which come through the of
fice may yet induce her to change
her name again.

To be Filled at
Election May 25
Student Council Calls for
Special Poll; Reinstates
Two Honoraries
Nominations for the office of
Emerald editor, left vacant toy the

natures of fifty students, with the

The special student election to fill
this vacancy will toe held May 25.
Announcements regarding tho
nominations and elections were
made at tho student council meet
ing yesterday afternoon, at which
Don Beelar, president of the stud
ent body, said, .‘‘Nominations could
have been made at the assembly,
but I hesitate in doing it that way
because of the tragedy, and any
electioneering would be undesira
ble.”
Two Honoraries Reinstated
Hammer and Coffin and Mask
and Buskin were also reinstated at
tho University of Oregon by the ac
tion of the council yesterday. Sanc
tion was given to the petitions for
the reinstatement of Hammer and
Coffin, national humor writer’s or
ganization, so that with tho formu
lation of a new and more workable
policy it might become an incentive
to writers on the Webfoot. Chapters
are now working at Washington and
O. A. C.
The request for the reinstallation
| of Mask and Buskin, dramatic hon
orary, was also granted. Members
now on the campus who belonged

Buchanan," Cecil Matson, Florence
Couch, and Constance Roth.
New Women’s Honorary
A local honorary junior-senior
| service organization for women is to
be installed on the campus and will
be called Phi Theta Upsilon. The
action was taken following a report
by Esther Hardy, who pointed out
that 40 per cent of the women on
the campus lived out in town, 20 per
cent in tho halls, and 40 per cent
in sororities. The new organization,
which is sponsored by Women’s
League, will have as its purpose the
providing of a service group for
these unorganized girls. Election to
the group will be honorary, but
there will be three representatives
from sororities, two from the halls,
and five from the town who are to
be members at all times.
Provision was made for a new
traditions committee, and Herbert
Soeolofsky was appointed chairman.
He will make a report at the next
meeting of the student council. Tho
work of the committee will be to
give definitely formulation to Ore
gon traditions and make a report of
these at the beginning of next year.
The group will also determine tho
1 value of campus drives and will
consider a plan for the organization
I of a student chest.

j Strawberry Festival
Defies Bad Weather
Despite the baby hurricane that
struck Eugene last night, resulting
in a lot of cold weather today, the
strawberry festival was a decided
success, judging by the amount of
I monoy the W. A. A. made from it.
All of $75 is rattling around in
| the coffers of the treasury, although
some of this must go to pay for the
strawberries, et cetera. This is com
paratively more than was made last
year, but strawberries are higher
now.
