For ert Cup
Winner To Be Cnosen at
Class Meeting
Three seniors, Claudia Fletcher,
Bill Powell, and Ronald Robnett,
were chosen by the award committee
for the Albert cup at a meeting held
yesterday.
The cup, which is awarded each
year “to that member of the senior
class who, during his college career,
shall have made the most progress
in character, service, and wholesome
influence,” is donated annually by
Joseph H. Albert, cashier in the
First National bank of 'Salem. The
first cup was donated in 1021 to
Adelaide V. Lake, at present a re
porter on the Oregonian. Last year
the prize was won by Algot West
ergren.
Voting on these candidates by the
senior class will take place at the
class meeting, to be held in Villard
hall at 7:30 Tuesday evening. At
the meeting Dean Gilbert will give
the class some instruction on gradu
ation ceremonies, and Bob Benjamin,
chairman of the class memorial com
mittee, will present some important
business to the class.
Orders for announcements will
also be taken at the meeting, since
the sample announcements are at
the Co-op, and all class members
must have their orders for them in
Tuesday night so that they can bo
printed and distributed in time for
graduation ceremonies. Sam Kinlev,
chairman of the announcement com
mittee, claims that the announce
ments this year are the best and
most original ever used,by an Ore
gon graduating class.
Don McCook, president of the
class, is very anxious to have all the
members of the class out for the
meeting in view of the fact that it
is so near graduation, and he would
like to have a one hundred per cent
turnout if possible.

The Dead Past Buries Its Dead
Via Sigma Delta Chi Neophytes
The grave-digger had nothing on
the Sigma Delta Chi neophytes when
it came to digging the dirt ahont
the death of political ambitions.
Students of the University gathered
about the steps of the old library
yesterday before assembly to watch
a splendid funeral cortege in black
and white come slowly across the
campus from the school of jour
nalism.
“Who's dead?” whispered one lit
tle freshman who was apparently
not accustomed to seeing gentlemen
in “soup-and-fish ” attire mourn
fully traversing the campus with a
dull black coffin.
“Sh!” answered students who had
witnessed the Sigma Delta Chi ini
tiation in past years, “it’s only the
journalists, they have to make a
speech from the library steps for
pre-initiation.”
On came the dreary group. Slowly
they mounted the steps and placed
their heavy burden on one of the
concrete abutments. Reverend Leon
ard Hagstrom, 8. O. S., P. D. Q., etc.,
stepped forward and read the fu
neral service for the defeated can
didates in Wednesday’s elections.
Appropriate gestures added to the
ceremony.
One by one the men in full dress
stepped forward and expressed
words of praise and regret for the
dear departed. Sidney King at
tempted to condole the waiting mul
titude for the loss of “Theodore
Lester Johnson” whose “sunlit
blonde head no longer shall grace
the slippery diamond of political
ambition.”
Of Walter J. Coover, Lynn Wy
koff spoke touchingly. “He was
such a cheerful, carefree little lad,
when he used to run barefooted and
bald-headed about the campus. His
writing paid for his education—in
fact, much of his time was spent in
writing home for money. He was
terribly crushed and battered in the
landslide.”
Wilfred Brown also feelingly
mourned the loss of energetic Ernest
Jachetta, and Joe Rice wept as he
spoke of “our dear departed, Doro
thy Baker, mowed down' in the
flower of her youth before she had
a chance to go to seed.”
After the ceremony was completed
the quartet sang “Shall we gather
at the river?” with Reverend Hag
strom leading the singing.

Murray Warner
Prizes Awarded
Deal Wins Essay Contest;
13 Submit Papers
Herbert L. Deal, Blueb foot, Ida
ho, was judged winner of tho first
•prize of $150 in the Murray Warner
essay contest. •
Tho object of this annual contest
is to stimulate interest in the Ori
ent, and problems connected with
relations between the United States,
Japan and China. Second prize,
$l6o, was won by Ben Whitesmith,
Bugene. Honorable mention was
given the essay of John W. Halder
man, Astoria.
Deal .wrote on “The Fundamen
tal Problems of Japan-American
Sedations. ” Whitesmith’s paper
was titled, “Present Inter-relations
ot China and the West.” “Tho
Outlook on Amcrican-Japanose Re
lations’’ was the topic of Ilalder
man’s contribution.
A total of 13 papers were sub
mitted. This is a record number,
and indicates an increasing interest
in .Oriental affairs, it is pointed out.
Mrs. Murray Warner, donor of tho
museum of fine arts at the Univer
sity, makes the awards for the essay
contest, in honor of her husband,
Murray Warner.
comparing me ioreign policy or wie
United States with that of Japan,
Deal writes: "The foreign policy
of Japan has thus been fairly suc
cessful and will doubtless continue
to further the economic development
of Asia. It is in China, this com
mon market and source of raw ma
terials, that tlio Japanose-American
problems of the future will arise and
find their solution. Any attempt on
our part tq interfere with the peace
ful development of these regions by
Japanese capital will be met by an
aggressively hostile policy on the
part of tho Japanese government.
Japan will not hesitate to defend by
war if necessary a source of supply
which she considers so essential to
her self-preservation and the future
of her people.
“If Japan continues the Open
Dcor policy in this region, the eco
nomic bonds between us will become
ever stronger, making peace more
certain and war less probable.’’
Deal says that “A very evident
solution of tho Japanese population
problem is that of restriction by
birth control. ” ,
Finishing his paper with a para
graph on conditions at present, Deal
states: “The only serious difficulty
which now exists is the result of the
aggravation of tho race issue by the
exclusion clause of our 1924 immi
gration act. If it were only possible
to impress upon the legislature of
tho United States government the
recessity of some concession to tho
rising race consciousness of Asiatic
peoples we could look with optim
ism for future peace in the Pacific.’’
Judges for the contest were:
Norman F. Coleman, president of
Heed college.
Miss Cornelia Marvin, state lib
rarian.
Alfred Powers, director of the ex
tension division.
Eesults of tho contest among the
Oriental students for a prize of $100
and of the freshman contest for a
$50 prize, will bo announced within
a few days.

High Schools Give
Plays for Contest
The second annual high school
tournament, held under the auspices
of the University drama department,,
is now in full swing. Last night at
the Guild theatre, the Eugene high
school and the Boseburg high school
presented their one-act plays as en
tries for the Guild theatre cup, of
fered by the Guild theatre players
of the University.
There were some very excellent
spots in both productions. Howard
Strawn of the Eugene high group
made an excellent crook, and sus
tained his character throughout. He
enunciated well and acted force
fully. He had very good support,
too, in the maid, Lucille, played by
Eoma Gross, and in Holly Ilorner,
■who portrayed Mrs. Sims-Vane, a
paralytic.
“Two Crooks and a Lady” by Eu
gene Pillot, was Eugene high's play,
while the Eoseburg play was of an
entirely different nature and time,
taking one back to the middle ages.
It was a difficult play to portray,
but some of the interpretations wero
quite unusual and therefore inter
esting.
Carmel Newland was perhaps out
standing in this medieval impersona
tion, with a little precision combined
with force that made her interest
ing. Stanley Kidder and .T. V. Long
as file two Iceland farmers, pre
sented their passions quite well.
Tonight two more state high schools
will present their plays and then the
cup will be awarded to the winner.

with tlio Associated Press, the Se
attle Post Intelligencer, of which ho
i was co-manager with his brother,

the 13 to 3 defeat
handed them last
iveek-end by the
Oregon Aggies,
but some vv hat
salved by their
own 5 to 4 victory
in the second
game, the Huskies
Carl Nelson
are out to wintoday.
Coach “Tubbv'” Graves lias built
up a powerful club at the Univer
sity of Washington. In the two
sgphomorps, Wilson Gaw anil Rudy
Tollofson, lie lias a pair of sluggers
that will compare favorably with
any collego ball players. As for
base runners, Captain .Toe Johnson,
shortstop, Shorty Morrison and
Percy Bolstad, outfielders, will
amply fill the bill.
Pitching Situation “Ticklish”
The pitching situation with the
Huskies is a “ticklish” one. Like
most of the other teams in the cir
cuit, Graves seeni3 to have a dearth
of capable clinchers, Jerry 0*llhoun,
lettermati, showed considerable
promise in the first Whitman game
when he held the Missionaries to
four scattered hits, but he was the
fiist chased to tho showers last
week-end by the Aggio barrage.
Elackie Nevins is another of
Graves’ slabmcn. TTo won his game
from the Walla Walla collegians by
allowing but six safe raps.
McKenzie and Johnson in Lineup
Two familiar faces to local fans
are Kcnnie McKenzie and Joe John
son. McKenzio and his witty lino
of cluittor will bo heard again bo

son is the diminutive shortstop who
is all over the patch for hard drives
like a greyhound after a rabbit. In
the second game of last year’s local
series Johnson had the misfortune
of breaking a leg while sliding into
third. Last year’s injury, however,
lias not subtracted from any of his
speed.
Coach Billy Reinhart will probably
start the same lineup which turned
away the Willamette Bearcats last
week-end. Cecil Gabriel seems to
have a firm hold on tho backstop
position with Ira Wooden, last year’s
letterman, in reserve. After a hard
pre-conference battle, Carl Nelson,
1927 frosh first sacker, will probably
get tho call over Johnson, letterman.
Nelson does not field the initial bag

India, Egypt, Japan, Pictured
In Debaters9 Colorful Program
Students traveled around the world
hy motion picture last night in
Yillard hall with Benoit MeOroskey
and Walter Hempstead.
“Oregon’s World Debate Tour”
titled the pictures which began with
Hawaii, the “Paradise of tho Paci
fic,” and ended with America,
“God’s own country.”
Pieturps of Hawaii visualized
scenic mountains and tropical sens.
On to tlie Orient-—where Bast meets
West, and as scenes were titled, “the
land of the rising sons.” China was
picturm'd as a myriad of statue
gods, quaint Chinese shops and nar
row, dark streets of ancient build.
Japan was shown as a typical East
ern country with dark-faced natives
and odd picturesque buildings. Tea
parties and wrestling were, with
fencing, the favorite pastimes.
The Philippine Islands scenes took
the audience amid antique shrines of
revolutionary heroes, queer dusty
streets which were traveled by water
buffaloes, old Spanish missions with
bamboo pipe organs, and students
with white duck suits.
India was the next stopping plaeo
along the journey. The fascinating
temples, artistic pagodas and strange
sacrificial altars seemed very real,
l olJing: the imagination of the audi
ence. The visit to Palestine was in
tensely interesting, showing scenes
< f ancient, historical beauty. Tlio
I travelers went to Mt. Zion anil its
nearby oriental places, through nar
row streets dating from the first
century.
The short visit to Egypt was a
revival of all the pictures seen in
histories, and old Egyptian scenes
of mystic value. The Pyramids and
the Sphinx made a vivid background
fer the Nile and ancient ruins of
the oldest cities in the world.
Statues in ruined splendor and tho
Valley of the Kiii'g.% made this stop
even more than fascinating.
A short survey of Itomo with St.
Peter’s dome, tho coliseum and
tombs, was not impressive merely as
scenery but as a reality. Then there
was Florence as well as Geseva to
characterize Italy. The British Isles
brought forth all the English life
and customs, showing many import
ant scenic wonders and entailing a
brief summary of the tour through
the country.
America concluded tho scries of
scenic beauties in which many col
leges of the United States were pic
tured and brought to the campus by
the round the world debaters.
