Officers’ Club To Initiate 12 Ceremony Follows Parade This Afternoon Initiation ■ of 12 cadet officer pledges into the Officers’ Club will form the major part of the cere mony following the parade of the local R. O. T.C. unit on Kincaid field at five o’clock this afternoon, Wil liam C. Rutherford, captain of the club, announces. The ceremony is an important one, for the Officers’ Club some time ago petitioned for membership in the ScaTTbard and Blade, national military honorary and expects to get a reply from national headquaqrters the latter part of this week. The officers of the club who will have charge of the ceremony are j William C. Rutherford, ca'ptain; Mark Taylor, first lieutenant; Mar vin Cone, second lieutenant; and Karl Raess, first, sergeant. The pledges are E. A. Claus, I. S. Klagel, T. M. Goodin, L. K. Ilar throng, R. L. Herndon, K. L. In galls, Robert Keeney, F. W. McKen na, R. E. McMath, W. K. Morgan, Vawter Parker, L. C. Shaw. Concerning their application for membership in Scabbard and Blade is a telegram which members of the club received this week. It in structed the selection of a delegate to the national convention, which convenes on April 26 and declared that votes to decide granting of the petition would be on April 19. 0)1 enel William S. Sinclair, commander of the local unit, was extended an invitation to the convention. As their delegate, members of the club have elected Rutherford, who will leave for the convention next week with all expenses of his trip paid by the national body. . More prestige for the entire local unit would result from the granting of the petition, cadets believe. If the latter is granted, it is expected that immediate moves ytrill be made in asking for a larger and better equipped group here, to enlarge the unit to a full battalion, to get a machine gun company and other additions', and to increase flic cadet officer personnel from the present number of 36 to a total of 60. Under the present limits of the unit, only 13 vacancies are allowed for addi tions to the group of cadet officers for 1928 and 1929. There are now 52 applications in for these vacan cies. Today the unit is parading for ] the second time this school year, and it is hoped by all those taking part in it that “Old Jape’’ doesn’t tilt his rain bucket as he did last Wed nesday. There are four more par ades this term. Major Waddell, R. O. T. C., in spector of the Ninth Corps area, is inspecting the unit by companies, but is not expected to stay and seej the parade.

Bleeding Fees To Pay Cause Poet To Say, ‘Go; It Is KismeV “Now in Oregon’s rainy clime, Where I used to spend my time, In slumber deep and lasting every day; There came each term a mortal curse, Gradually growing worse and worse, Those bloody, bleeding, blooming fees to pay.” Kipling was not an Oregon man, but had he been, his poetic prowess could well have taken the forego ing form. Every year,' tjprmerly three, and now six times, this plague of fees is visited upon the heads of Oregon students. There is nothing for it but to bow resignedly to the on slaughts of misfortune and concede! the victory, for the cards are stacked and the University holds all the aces. The shearing has been going on for one week and but three days and a half remain. The business office complains that there are a good many head who have so far obstinately refused to give up their wool. Officials say this sort of stubborn radicalism must be stamped out. No true intellectual can deny the inevitability of death, taxes, and fees. Wherefore, then, the de lay? There is that further item of late payment fining which takes effect next week. If for no other reason than to avoid insult added tp in jury the chin should be presented this week. Three dollars is not to be sneezed at lightly in this day of unemployment. “Go. It is Kismet.”^ Donut Baseball Meets Wet Time Delts Win From Alpha Beta Chi, 9-4 Wading their wav through errors as thick as the mad on the donut field, the boys from the Delt farm wiped their shoes on home plate nine1 times to Alpha Beta Chis four. In reality it was more like a football game than baseball by the looks of tlie players and the fielding, but the game was played despite the lack of good weather. Umpire Ilodgen stood back of the mound-man with his hands in his pockets and his head pulled in his jacket like a turtle and shivered out the balls and strikes. Time after time he pulled out his bandana for the ball tosser to wipe the terra fer nia from the despicable pill. Once they changed fields but the matter of a few inches of mud made little difference and the game continued to be as Wet as the weather. Sigma Pi Tail and Sigma Phi Ep siion were scheduled for a tilt but I'red West, donut official, failed to show up and the game was cancelled. If is now scheduled for Saturday morning at 11 o’clock. Thursday is the next day for do r.ut games with two scheduled at 4 o ’clock. In league A Kappa Sigma will play Bachelordon; Phi Kappa Psi is scheduled for a tilt with Psi Kappa in league B. Batteries for yesterday’s game: Delta Tau Delta—Ilagen and Wood ruff; Alpha Beta Chi—Niemi afid K ing. Frosli-E. B. U. Debate Nicaragua Question The University freshman debate team, Stanley Darling and Neil Tay lor, met the Eugene Bible University team in a no-deeision contest last night in the E. B. U. music audi torium. Warren Kirkpatrick and Janie's Wilburn of the Bible Univer sity" upheld the affirmative of the question, “Resolved, That the Unit ed States should eease to protect by armed force capital invested in for eign lands except after formal dec laration of war.” The affirmative declared that im perialism is becoming more and more imbedded as a piolicy of the United States, and that this should bo stopped before it grows much larger. Armed force should only be Dear Friends: I’ve been awfully busy these last few clays. We’ve been getting in our new merchandise for spring, you know, and I’ve been helping to get it unpacked. Maybe you think I haven’t enjoyed it, too! , Skeie’s Jewelry Store is. certainly going to have some mighty pretty things to show you this spring. There are new mountings for your diamond, better looking than ever. New patterns in watch bracelets^ will fit any style watch. They come in red, yellow, green and white gold, also leather straps. Yes, and some new amethyst, topaz and sapphire rings, with pearls around them in solid gold mountings that are surely good looking. And a Jof more things “tod numerous to mention.” Next time you’re around this way, drop in and see these things. They’re all the latest in the jewelry line, I guess.

April 14th is our birthday and we shall be 26 y^ears old. Many changes have taken- place since Our Founder started a small general store in Wyoming. We have seen the passing of old styles and the advent of the new. Storekeeping methods have improved and we have grown to a lusty height of 954 stores. But the friendly smile and the desire to give helpful service never vary. The same old latchstring of WELCOME hangs outside our doors for both customer and curious passerby. ' Twenty-six years ago we started life as a “Friendly Store.” We don’t believe the years have changed us a bit. [What do you think about it £ lsed to protect property after every neang had been exhausted to come to j i diplomatic agreement, and it 1 ihould only be used then after* a 'ormal declaration of war. Any ither procedure, they said, was un ■onstitutional because the power to nake war was given only to con gress. Intervention, they held, was var. If the United States waited to leclare war, many lives would be ost and mill'll property destroyed, he negative declared. By a treaty vith the South American republics lie United States must wait six nonths after trouble breaks out to leclare war. The affirmative ad nitted under cross-examination that :he United States should uphold all treaties that were made. This period of- six months, the debaters pointed out, was not practical. Much time would be wasted in making treaties and settlements if formal war was declared every time that intervention was necessary. The Monroe doctrine made it necessary to protect foreign life and property in South America, the negative stated. This is the first time that a team from the University of Oregon has ever taken part in any event in the auditorium of the Eugene Bible Uni versity. OREGON STATE COLLEGE, COR VALLIS, April 17.—(P.'.I.U.)—The BeavefJ the Oregon State annual, will use “Oregon State College” this year instead of “Oregon State Agri culture College,” which was used formerly.
