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.

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

Dear Friends:
I’ve been awfully busy these last few clays.
We’ve been getting in our new merchandise for spring, you

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.
I have to quit now and get to unpacking again!

Fit As a Fiddle
And 26 Years Old
This week we are celebrating a very important
day for us. 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.
