The hustle and bustle of Junior
Week-end with the many athletic
events and the annual Junior Prom
kept the campus busy not only dur
ing the week-end but for several
days before. Many engagements
were announced during the last few
days and many alumnae were visit
ors on the campus.
• • •
The annual Junior Prom had the
distinction of being the first student
body dance to be held in McArthur
court. Transformed into an Aztec
palace with colored lights reflected
on the elaborate designs, the pa^
vilion made a wonderful scene for
the last dance of the college year.
About 500 couples were present.
The Indian atmosphere was inten
sified by the arrival on horseback of
an “Aztec maiden” who climbed to
the heights of the balcony and there
gave an interpretive dance against
a background of a pagan altar.
In the receiving line were Gov
ernor and Mrs. Patterson, President
and Mrs. Hall, Mr. and Mrs. George
T. Gerlinger, Dr. and Mrs. John
Straub, Judge and Mrs. Lawrence
T. Harris, Mr. and Mrs. Karl Qn
thank, Mr. and Mrs. Dean Walker,
Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterly, Mr. and
Mrs. Carlton Spencer, Mr. and Mrs.
C. D. Rorer, Dean and Mrs. William
G. Hale, Dean and Mrs. H. D. Shel
don, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Dunn,
Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Washburne, Mr.
and Mrs. N. B. Zane, and Mr. George
Turnbull.

The engagement of Miss Nona
Proctor to Mr. Campbell Church
was made known at the PM Delta
Theta house in a very novel manner
^ last Friday evening. Mr. Church
showed a five-reel motion picture of
his trip in Alaska last summer, for
which he assembled the members of
the fraternity in the living room
after dinner. After the last picture,
a slide flashed on the screen an
nouncing the engagement.
Miss Proctor is the daughter of
A. Philmister Proctor, famous sculp
tor and the artist who made the
statue or "me moneer" winch
stands in front of the library. Miss
Proctor recently returned from
Paris where she was attending
school. Mr. Church, who is a resi
dent of Eugene, is a junior on the
campus and a member of Phi Delta
Theta fraternity.

day at which members and pledges
of Sigma Beta Phi were hostesses.

A. E. Roberts, Mrs. L. E. Bean,
Mrs. Robert Thompson, and Mrs.

orated with black and white tapers
and each place was marked with a

with the names of the two printed
upon them. Both young people are
seniors in the University and Mr.

Miss Ethel Montgomery an
nounced her engagement to Mr.
Ralph Herron at the Kappa Delta
house on Friday evening. The table
was decorated with a large pink
hat as a centerpiece with a band
around it asking that the news it
contained be “kept under your
hats.” Little folders with the pic
tures of the couple were drawn
from the hat by little pink ribbons
which led to each place. Rosebuds,
sweet peas and cream colored tapers
decorated the table. The favors
were miniature pink hats.
Miss Montgomery is a senior in
the University, and Mr. Herron is

has been transferred by his busi
ness firm. Mrs. Hasle will follow
as soon as she has completed the
May 24, 1927.
Dear friends:
Out in front of the store the other day a lady broke her
chain necklace as she stepped out of her car. She came right
on into the store here and Mr. Skeie had the break repaired
in short order.
Maybe you’ve had a similar accident. Or maybe you have
some jewelry at home that needs repairing. Kings, necklaces,
mesh bags, bracelets, silver table articles, etc.
Mr. Skeie repairs jewelry even better than I write ads. I
couldn’t recommend him any higher than that!
TICK.
If It comes from Skeie’s
it must be good
year as a teacher in the Coos River
high school.
Mrs. Hasle is a graduate of the
University of Oregon, and a member
of Alpha Phi sorority, where she was
a guest this last week-end. Mr.
Hasle attended the University of
North Dakota and was affiliated
with Kappa Psi Beta.

A Logical Incompatibility?
To the editor:
What is wrong with making it
hompujsory that college students
dance to the “Pipe of the Militar
ist”? Will investigation reveal con
sistency?
This question is being asked spon
taneously throughout our country.
From the viewpoint of those who
believe in freedom of the individual
mind, and absolute tolerance, the
most hopeful phase of the whole
situation! is that students in all
parts of the United States are be
ing moved to protest—some because
they respect a spirit of freedom of
thought; some because they object
to the spirit of war; and a great
many (a rapidly increasing number)
because of a sense of humor aroused
by the incongruity of the proceed
ings of the E. O. T. C. in an institu
tion of higher learning.
A less encouraging aspect is to
find educational authority ready to
be indirectly caught with what some
folks might wish to call, if they
only dared, the “chaff of pseudo
educationalism.” Along with a de
nunciation of war in the abstract,
we are conducting an organization
to pass on the habit of militarism—
through means of compulsion!
In institutions jealous for free
dom of thought nothing could be
more subversive to the true aims
of education than the inculcation
of the military mind. Modern
thought has, at least nominally, out

grown a feeling of allegiance to
ward perpetuation of traditionalism
in our institutions. It is reasonable
to believe that in an institution of
rationalized thought, nominalism
can give way to reality.
It may appear to be only in
cidental that militarism is being so
widely discussed in its relation to
free thought; but the idea of com
pulsory military training is on trial.
The trial arises as an aspect of the
inevitable articulation of minds in
the making, under influence of mod
ern thought, as opposed to that of
the dark ages.

Experience.
To the Emerald Editor:
When I read that a man who has
never worked on the Emerald and
is inexperienced is trying is defeat
for the position one who had earned
the job through Emerald work and
through merit of the position, a
number of questions suggested
themselves to me.
. Would you trust a legal case to
a dentist?
Would you put a preacher in
charge of an electric plant?
Would you ride in a passenger
train if the engineer was an inex
perienced schoolboy?
Why put a man in as editor who
is not only inexperienced, but has
not worked on the Emerald?
Is it unnecessary to study and
practice journalism to run a paper
successfully?
If so, why study to be a news
paper man?
If so, why should students spend
time studying it in the University?
Should a man who has never
worked on the Emerald be put in as
boss over those who have spent
their time in the University work
ing on the Emerald doing technical
work in order to be able the better
to portray University jnews and
life?
Can a man who has consistently
opposed the Emerald staff as Bcrgh
did in the case of the Emerald
“gag rule” amendment (which
failed miserably to pass) expect co
operation from the staff if he would

First ‘Junior Vod-vil’
Manager Featured on
Musical Bill Friday
Arthur Johnson, Oregon '23, will
be tlip featured soloist on the pro
gram to be given at the school of
music on Friday, May 27th, by
Portland artists for the Oregon
Music Teachers’ convention. In the
story of this young singer is found
one of those accounts of unusual
development and attainment in mu
sic that only occasionally makes an
appearance.
During his days on the campus,
“Art” Johnson was known for the
diversity of his interests and ac
tivities. For three years he was a
soloist with the glee club. He was
a member of Fergus Beddie’s Little
Theatre ‘ ‘ Company, ’ ’ manager of
Guild threatre for a year, and for
a time a teacher of “dramatics.”
During his entire college career
lie was a library assistant in the
circulation department, thus earn
ing his way through school. For
four years he was tenor soloist at
the Congregational, church and part
of that time also held down the po
sition of choir director at the
Springfield Methodist church. As a
junior ho staged the first “Junior”
Vaudeville,” ever brought to ac
tual production and before that
managed a Y. M.-Y. W. “Mix” at
which, for the first time, the two
religious organizations sponsored a
dance. Johnson was also active in
“donut” debate and basketball.
He appeared on innumerable musi
cal programs and was one of the
most ardent workers for the estab
lishment of the University Concert
series. Phi/ Beta Kappa and Phi Mu
