freshmen aggrega

at 3 o’clock, and
the varsities Sat

at Corvallis.
Tryouts were
held in several
events yesterday
afternoon and sev
crai or tJio boys
Bill Crawford surprised t li e in
selves and Coach Hayward too. For
instance, A1 Boyden jumped six feet
in the high leap cinching his place
on the team. He lias been a con
istont five foot eight and nine inch
man but six feet had been unattain
able.- Prendergast took the 220
dash by a slight margin, followed
closely by MeKennon and Pearson.
These three men will enter that
event. Practically all the other
tryouts turned out as Hayward had
placed them down on his sheet of
paper before coming to the track.
Neither were there any great
upsets in the frosh tryouts. The
standbys, Lowry, Seigmund, Hall,
Hill, and Maltby, are still there. No
one has been injured and no one
disqualified through scholastic diffi
culties, that is lately, for every
J once in a while “Bill” moans when
he sees some big ineligible frosh
running around loose that ho had
counted on at the first of the
season.
Hayward Won’t Predict
Track dope is no more stable than
any other species of sport dope.
The Webfoot frosh Lave the edge
on the rooks and the long end goes
to the 0. 8. C. varsity, on paper of
course. “Bill” Hayward recognizes
these “paper” probabilities but
would not commit himself on the
subject.
“The meet will be won before the
relay,” Hayward said, speaking of
the varsity meet Saturday. Whether
Oregon or O. S. C. would be the
recipients of the largest score was
not specified.
“Bill” has been looking rather
pleased since Crawford, hurdler and
high jumper, has recovered from
the cuts and bruises he received in
the Seattle meet. Crawford cleared
five feet eleven inches yesterday
afternoon and is running the high
sticks again in good shape.
. Kelly, Oregon’s other star hurdler,
is still nursing a sore heel but will
bo seen in the century, and the low
and high sticks. It is possible,

Nobile Circles North

Tri-color and Cress
fPy United Press)
KING pi A Y, Spitsbergen, Ms y
24.—A wireless message received
litre early today from the dirigible
Italia, under command of General
Umberto Nobile states that the
dirigible passed over the north pole
at midnight.
As the exact location of the pole
is difficult to establish, Nobile cir
cled around over the polar area to
make sure that he actually flew
over the pole.
The Italia, after circling flic pole,
dropped the tri-colors of Italy and
the oaken cross confided to Nobile’s
care by the Pope.
Shortly after dropping the flag
and cross, Nobile turned the nose,
of the big craft back for the return
trip, according to wireless messages.
Apparently, no members of the ex
pedition were landed at the pole as
had been contemplated.

Concert of American Music Given
By Phi Mu Alpha Proves Enjoyable
By NAOMI M. GRANT
The program of Phi Mu Alpha,
men’s musical honorary, was both
pleasing and interesting not only as
a representation of campus talent,
but bv reason rrf its variety of ar
rangement and the merits of the
individual performers in their inter
pretation of American compositions.
George Barron, organist, played
the first numbers of the program,
the “Tanglewood Tales” of Stough
ton. Mr. Barron brought out the
fantastic and highly imaginative
quality of “Circe’s Palace,” the
first of the tales, in a commendable
manner. The weird touches in the
opening and finale and the contrast
in the liquid treble with phrases
closed in the base added to the num
ber's interest. Following the wist
ful whimsicality of “Pool of Pi
rene” Mr. Barron concluded his
ogroup with a vigorous interpretation
of the Douglas “Finale.” The cli
maxes wore well marked, particular
ly that of the close, and the contrast
between the lighter rhythms and the
more dignified passages was a
pleasing feature of the number.
Jack Dennis sang the “Wander
er’s'Song” with ^considerable gusto
and vigor, that perhaps atoued in its
spontaneity for certain careless ef
fects. The appeal of Burleigh’s
“Just You” brought demand for an
encore to which Mr. Dennis respond
1
ed with Basbach’s popular arrange
ment of “Trees.”
John Sprouse’s bassoon solos were
pleasing not only because of the
novelty of the instrument, but be
cause of the player’s tone quality.
“Chinese Lullaby,” a serenade fav
orite, showed the low notes of the
bassoon to advantage. Owing to an
injury to his hand Lawrence Wag
ner was unable to play the trumpet
I solos which appeared on the pro
J gram.
Don Ostrander’s solos were appre
] ciated, especially the ending of the
| “Sing to Me, Sing!” into the spirit
! of which the singer entered much
i more than that of the first number.
I His encore “Sittin’ Thinking’” had
| its usual appeal.
! Edward Best’s violin solos con
jstituted an effective close to an en
joyable concert. Both the number,
i “The Crane Brake” of Gardner and
the “Levee Dance” of White, are
i characteristically descriptive negro
music. The exuberance of the first
i number afforded considerable con
, trust in the lagging lilt of the inter
mediate passage. To the “Devee
Dance,” with its interesting snatch
es of pizzieatos, Mr. Best added the
fascination of strong rhythmic ae
j cent and a contrasting reserve in the
| sustained parts.
Barbara Edmunds played the ae
: compairiments to the solos with her
|customary thoughtful co-ordination.

Cars Defended
-■
The traditions of Oregon afford
ed the main discussion of the joint
meeting of the Executive Council
and the Student Body Council yes
terday evening, when green lids

A petition issued by the former
To-ko-lo was considered but was
rejected and the honorary perman
ently abolished. The organization
petitioned to bo a junior honorary
desiring to hereafter have charge
of all rallies, prepare' stunts for
games and to be a general pep or
ganization.
There was some discussion con
cerning students owning automobiles
and attending school. The Dad’s
Executive committee desired the
student body t8 make a statement
ccncerning this matter. Cars are
ie be defended before the committee.
The music manager will receive
a silver award for his work similar
to the three-year music award, ex
cept that it will have ‘music man
ager’ engraved at its base. It was
voted that Bonald Robnett, 1927-28
music manager, should receive one
of these awards.
Honorary Elects
Medford Woman
Pot anti Quill Chooses
Members, Officers
Helen Norris,'of Medford, author
of two recently successful radlio
plays, was. elected to honorary mem
bership in Pot and Quill, local
Women’s writing fraternity on the
campus, at a meeting of the society
held at the home of Mrs. Clara
Fitch at 1270 Ferry street.
Miss Norris, although C|rjppledl
since childhood from infantile para
lysis and confined most of her life
to a wheel chair, at her home on a
farm neaf Medford, has through
correspondence lessons been able to
acquire sophomore standing in the
university. She has specialized in
English, especially in writing
courses.
Recently one of her plays, “Just
Plannin’,” was broadcast from sta
tion KGO at Oakland, Californiat
and a second play of hers was
broadcast from Portland, station
KGW.
Miss Mozelle Hair, director of
correspondence study at the Uni
versity, said that Miss Norris’ work
had been of a superior kind. Al
though she has taken primarily
English courses, she has also taken
work in Oregon history and psycho
logy.
Through the care and solicitude of
her brother, Robert, Miss Norris
was able to go through high school
at Medford. Her brother carried
her up the steps to her classes in
the morning and down again at
night. He is now- attending Oregon
.State College.
Elected to active membership at
the meeting of the club last night
were: Margaret Watson, Maxine
Bradbury, Marion Sten, and Harriot
McLeod. Officers of the society for
the coming year are Serena Madsen,
president, and Ruth Newton, secre
tary.

Pi Phi and Theta Chi
Win Song Contest;
A O Pi Close Second
Pi Eeta Plii and Theta Chi win
this year’s song eontest. The two
were awarded first place by the
judges late last night, during which
all men’s and women’s houses on
the campus were judged—and Pi
Phi, by virtue of holding first place
for three years in succession, pos
sesses the silver cup.
Alpha Omicron Pi was given
second place for the women’s houses,
and Phi Gamma Delta second place
for the men’s. The judges reported
that it was most difficult to choose
the winners. Pi Phi excelled in
harmony and in the number of songs,
while the Alpha O's were more
original and their whistling of ‘‘In
the Harbor of Our Mountains” was
beautiful. As for the Theta Chi’s
and the Fiji’s, John Stark Evans,
one of the judges, said:
“The Fiji’s songs were more fin
ished, but the Theta Chi’s are a
‘singing bunch.’ They sang thirty
songs, in all, including the Alma
Mater songs of all the schools on the
coast, as well as using several clever
variations and excellent trio work.”
Exhibition Today
At Art Building
Banquet, ‘Art Bust’ Follow
Student Display
An exhibition of work none dur
ing tlie past year by students of the
school of architecture and allied arts
will bo held today at the rtrts
building. This visitors’ day will be
open to everyone, and criticisms on
the work displayed will bo given by
members of the staff and outside
artists.
The little arts gallery will house
the exhibit of faculty and student
work from all departments of the
school, which was recently shown in
Portland. This group of work from
the Oregon school received a great
deal of favorable comment there,
Mrs. Mabel Houck, secretary of the
school, declared.
Several events are planned by the
Allied Arts League, student organi
zation, sponsors of the affair, in
addition to the criticisms. A ban
quet will bo held at G:30 in the eve
ning at the Eugene hotel, and fol
lowing, an “Art Bust” will take
place. Kenton Ilamaker is in
charge of arrangements for the
“Bust.”
Harlan Thomas, dean of the archi
tecture department of the Univer
sity of Washington; Armond Bean,
supervising architect in charge of
the construction of the new men’s
dormitory on the campus; Emil
Jacques, Portland artist; Harold
Doty, Portland architect, and Mrs.
TI. C. Wortman and Mr. Wade Pipes
of Portland are members of the
jury which will criticize the work.
Dean Ellis F. Lawrence of the
school of architecture and allied
arts will give a short talk at the
banquet, and Mrs. II. C. Wortman
will speak. President and Mrs.
Arnold Bennett Hall will be guests
of liouor and President Hall will
make an address to the students.
Some novel and unique features
are planned for the “Art Bust,” Mr.
Ilamaker announced. Jack Reynolds
is in charge of features and Johnnie
Mohr’s orchestra will play. The
party will last until 10:30.
C. C. Chapman Tells
Oregon Students of
Styles in Politics
“Styles change in politics as they
do in everything else,” C. 0. Chap
man of the Oregon Voter said yes
terday when he talked before Ore
gon students in room 105 of the
Commerce building at 2 o’clock on
the results of the recent primary
elections.
“One of the best qualifications
for a candidate is to have his name
begin with A,” Mr. Chapman re
marked. He illustrated his point
with instances where men with such
names as Anderson had received
many votes although they were
poorly qualified. Another time,
Chapman said, one of the best can
didates had a name that began with
S. Since he was at the bottom of
the column, he did not receive many
votes.
In instances where voters are
asked to select a few men, 13 for
example, out of a list of 52, it has
been found that 3 to 8 per cent of
the voters will check the names of
the first thirteen men on the list.
If a candidate has a name similar
to the name of a prominent person,
he also stands a better chance for
election, Mr. Chapman said. Voters
will often select a man whose name
is similar to a noted criminal. When
an incident like this occurs, the
candidate is said to have received
the “penitentiary vote.”
Oregon Plans

Committee
Work Already Under Way;
Many Seliools Visited
Spring Vacation
An intensive1 summer compnign of
the Greater Oregon Directorate is
being planned by Ron ITublis, chair
man, and his many assistants in the
work. Several meetings of the or
ganization have already been held
this week and others are being con
sidered before the school year ends.
As an opening gun in the cam
paign, Arnold Bennett Hall, presi
dent of the University, will speak
for 10 minutes at assembly today.
Al this time he will outline the work
planned by the directorate and tell
the students .just what part they can
play as boosters for “Greater Ore
gon.’ ’
In line with the preparations, a
general meeting of all t.lio com
mittee members, of which there are
some 150, .will bo held next Wednes
day in the Administration building.
As a part of the program for the
committeemen, Dr. Hall, Virgil
Earl, Dean E. E. Shirrell, Earl Pal
let!, registrar; and others of the
University administration will meet
with them.
New Ideas This Year
A number of new ideas have been
put into effect this year by Ron
ITubbs, in an endeavor to make the
Directorate of the greatest value
in its work among prospective stu
dents.
Tn the past, only names of those
students who have just graduated
from high school have been avail
able through the registrar’s office.
This year the committeemen of the
Greater Oregon Directorate have
cc mpiled lists of several hundred
graduates who have been out of
school for a number of years, but
still interested in coming to col
lege. This makes the work easier
for the registrar by having more
prospects already on file.
Sixty Assemblies Held
These lists were obtained during
the spring vacation. During that
time sixty assembles in high school*
cere held in the interests of the
t’niversity. For the first time high
school papers were also used as 1
means of carrying Oregon publicity.
State newspapers in fifty places
have been generous in their offers
of cooperation, showing a. real spirit
in backing the interests of the Uni
versity of Oregon.
Work Farther Advanced
Work this year is farther advanc
ed than has been the case for several
years passed. There will bo a
speaking campaign organized for
the summer months, which will in
clude a number of students and fac
ulty members who will travel about
the state.
William Delselmeidor has been ap
pointed to take the vacancy in the
chairmanship of district 9. ' This
position was held by Bob Moore,
who recently killed in an accident.
This district comprises the counties
of Polk, Yamhill and Marion.
Jo Stofiel Appointed
Secretary to Editor
Joephine Stofiel has been chosen
secretary to the editor of the Emer
ald for next year, announcement
was made by Arden X. Pangborn,
editor-elect, yesterday. The posi
tion of secretary is a new one this
year, there being no such office on
the present staff.
The new secretary will direct the
exchange department of the campus
daily and will have charge of all
correspondence from the editorial
department of the Emerald. Sho is
a freshman in the school of jour
nalism and has been a member of
the Emerald staff for the past year,
covering a beat. She is affiliated
with the Alpha Delta Pi sorority.

Green Goose, the scandal seavenger
of Sigma Delta Chi, men’s interna
tional journalism fraternity, is on

On the morning of Friday, .Tune 1,
this sheet, green with freshness but
yellow with scandal, will cause
groans and growls from the recipi

All misdeeds worthy of attention
should be given to Mr. Arthur I;.
Selioeni, the big bomb of the affair,

Operatic Class
Appears Tonight
Pagliacci ami Faust To Be
Sung by Students
Madame Rose McGrow’s class in
operatic, fundamentals will be pre
sented in a recital tonight at 8:15
in the auditorium of the school of
music. Acts from Paglicci and Faust
will bo given by the students.
The young people singing the
leading parts in tonight’s program
have had, with one or two excep
tions, no previous experience in this
line. Mr. Scougall sang with tho
Portland Opera company at Med
ford and Mrs. Hopkins has had some
experience in prologue. Hut Janet
Pearce, who essays the role of Mar
guerite, is a novice of talent, who
this autumn, on tho advice of
Madame Rose McGrow, goes to
Germany to study seriously for a
career. Esther Sanger, whose splen
did voiee will bo heard in the part
cf Nedda in Pagliacci, has been
Madame McGrow’s pupil for ' ono
year only.
Edytho Ilopkins meeds no intro
duction, having acquired a large
following through the charm of her
voice and personality. Pauline
Guthrie, who made such a favorable
impression in the last program as
Melisande, steps into a comedy role
as Martha in Faust, and gives a
clever and amusing characterization.
Harry Scougall, well known in Eu
gene, will sing the clown in I’agli
ncci and Mcphistq in Faust. Jack
Dennis as Silvio in Pagliacci uses
his fine yoice to great advantage,
and in the part of Faust, Ernest
McKinney gives a most sympathetic
and sincere rendition.
Gretchen Kier and Gu'endoyln
Hampshire Hayden give music lov
ers a treat with tliei/"rendition of

F. McNerney’s
Speech Wins
Prize of $20
Kleinm, Chase, Winehell
Also Take Places in
Jewett Contest
‘Woman’s Place in World’
Subject for Extempore
Speaking Meet
What do \vp moan by social ethics?
This is tho question Florence Mc
Ncniey asked her audience last
night when she won first place with
an award of $20 for her talk on “It
It Good Social Ethics for the Mar
ried Woman to Work?
Other places were taken by Mary
Klemm, second, $15; Lou Ann Chase,
third, $10; and Jesse Wincliell,
fourth prize of $5. Mary Cana
paroli and Levina Hicks also spoke
in the Jewett woman’s extempore
speaking contest, which was held at
Villard under the direction of J. K.
Horner, head of the public speaking
department.
Depends on Individual
Miss. McNerney said that it de
pended upon the individual, and tho
way a person looks at. tho idea, as
to whether woman should work or
not, after she married. Tiio way
society looks upon married woman
working is only a convention, and
not to be considered, she said.
“It is bad social ethics for a
mother to leave her children be
cause they make too much noise,
and she hates to hear them. If a
woman must work and really needs
the mongy, it is an entirely differ
ent thing.” It was believed by the
speaker that it will not hurt a
woman to work who is married, and
has no children. In fact it will help
her appreciate her home much more.
In closing Miss McNerney reiterated
the fact that we cannot, say whether
it is good or bad social ethics for a
married woman to work.
Mary Klemm Talks
Mary Klemm in her talk on “The
Economic Independence of Woman
and Its Influence on Morals,”
blamed the industrial revolution for
the fall in morals among all man
kind. There is really a. single stand
ard and woman may drink and
smoko if she so desires.
“However, there has been a little
sex union set up approving marriago
for a life contract and any woman
who felt that such a contract was
not necessary was classod as a sex
‘scab
In general the economic influence
has lowered standards, she an
nounced to her listeners. “Nowa
days it is no disgrace to get a di
vorce, and then go to work, to sup
port your children.” Formerly it
was a disgrace for a girl not to
marry and she had to take the first
man who offered himself. “We can
have a. higher standard of morals
and let’s have it!” she asked of her
audience.
All Favor Divorce
“I don’t believe that there is a
person in a modern audience who
does not believe that there are some
times when a divorce is necessary
and a good thing. When after a
long struggle woman gained this in
dependence, then she showed man
that she could take his place in
business.” This was tho impression
of the influence of divorce on tho
modern woman, as given by Lou
Ann Chase.
She thinks that co-education was
the next step in the program. As
women became better fitted they
went into the professions for an
equal footing with man. It is neces
sary that woman have tho vital
spark of independence and show her
place in tho world.
Jesse Wincliell spoke on “What
Has the Modern Woman to be Proud
Of.” Tho progress in history by
woman was complimented and out
lined by the speaker. “Woman is
not to bo blamed for her slowness
in reaching a higher stage. In fact
no one is to blame, but woman has
been compelled to work hard for
every thing lie has gained.
More To Be Good Mother
“It takes more to be a successful
mother and wife than a physician,”
said Miss Wincliell, in using tho
statement of an eastern woman, Dr.
Josephine Collins.
Mary Canaparoli told of tho eco
nomic independence and its influence
on marriage. “Is it not better to
live than to just nierely exist be
cauo you are married to some ono
you do not love?”
“The Future of Woman in Poli
tics” was given by Laviua Hicks.
Miss Hicks painted a word picture
of what woman had done, to make
