Oregon’s Star
Woman Swimmer
To Try Olympics
Virginia Lounsbury Will
Entfr Northwest Swim
Tryouts in Portland
By RICHARD H. STRING
Sports Editor
Those are the days of woman
suffrage and it looks like a woman
Virginia
Loimsbury
occasion. A mem
ber of fho gentler
sox lias the best
chances of all stn
dents at the Uni
versity of Oregon
to go to the 1928
Olympic games at
Amsterdam t li i s
summer. Miss Vir
ginia Lounsbury is
the young lady in
question. Being a
swimmer of un
usual ability she
has attracted con- j
sidcrabio favor
able attention dur
i IHI > l ctllU. AS I1U Y>
being groomed for the Olympics.
All year Virginia has been hard
at work, and will attempt to show
results of her long period, of train
ing, June 2, when she enters the
200-metre breast stroke at the Pa
cific Northwest Olympic tryouts in
the new Janzen pool, Portland.
According to her coach for the past
year, Edward P. Abercrombie, Vir
ginia is one of the best breast
stroke swimmers on the Pacific
coast and will undoubtedly be sent
east.
Oregon’s femme aquatic star has
already splashed through the water
of the Woman’s building tank in
3:25 for the 220-yard race. This is
but 10 seconds above the best male
varsity swimmer’s record. Her time
in the Janzen tank should be much
better. She will have two yards less
r to swim as 200 metres equals 218
yards. Another big advantage will
be Ihc use of a 50-metre straight
away. A longer tank eliminates
several turns which all tend to add
to the time.
Miss Lounsbury is favored to win
easily in Portland and will probably
be sent to the eastern tryouts by
Multnomah club.
Last September Virginia made
her initial competitive appearance
in San Francisco. Swimming in the
large Fleisehaekcr pool of that
place she placed second to Helen
Zabriskie. This Golden Gate star
has been practically conceded a
place on the women’s Olympic
swimming team. Since last fall, the
Webfoot breast strokcr has cut from
eight to ten seconds off her time.
Virginia’s ability has been heard
of in the ■ cast. Recently Coach
Abercrombie received a letter from
Bob Kiphuth, Yale water tutor and
coach of the women’s Olympic
swimming, who' inquired more about
Oregon’s star. He urged that she
bo*scnt east for the tryouts. Miss
1 Lounsbury is president of Amphi
bian, local swimmers’ group, and is
affiliated with Alpha Chi Omega
sorority.

Rose McGrew Opera Presentation
Success Suggests Future Efforts
By ALICE GORMAN
University opera is a success! We
know, because we have just' heard
Madame Rose McGrow’s Opera
class present scenes from “Pagliac
ei” and “Faust,” and they were
great! We hope that the enthusias
tic way in which it was received
last night may be ah inspiration for
a complete production in the future.
Mr. Harry Scougall was unques
tionably the star of the evening iu
his role of the clown, Tonio, in
“Pagliacei” and as Mephisto in
“Faust.” Mr. Scougall’s voice is
capable of remarkable forcefulness
and strength without losing any of
| the fine qualities. His attack is ex
cellent and his tones are well round
ed. And wholly aside from his very
fine voice, he would have won us
with his appealing interpretation of
the clown.
Perhaps the most striking scene
■of the program was that in which
Mephisto stood with his arms raised
before the fire of hell which cast
his diabolical shadow n tremendous
proportions on the back wall.
Esther Sanger as Nedda of “Pag
liacci” disclosed a voice of excellent
range and accuracy. Her high
notes were true and unbroken. She
undoubtedly has a future in her
voice.
Madame Mc-Grew pronounced Jack
Dennis’ voice “beautiful” in a re
cent interview, and we are now iu
dined to think this a very apt ad
jective for the particular quality of
it. It hasn’t very much volume yet,
but that may be developed.
The intermezzo, which was Moz
art’s aria from “II Re Rastore” was
well received by the audience. Gret
ehen Kier was the “sweet soprano”
and Gwendolyn Lampshire Hayden,
whose praises we can always sing,
played the voilin.
The “Faust” presentation was not
quite up to the standard set by the
“Pagliacci” performance, but we
recognize it was more difficult and
would have required longer time to
perfect. Janet Pearce made an ideal
Marguerite, chaste and sweet In both
act and voice. Madame has pre
dicted a great career for Miss
Pearce, and last night’s performance
showed her voice at its best. Paul
ine Guthrie, as Martha, did a fine
bit of acting, even if Bhe didn’t
have very much of a chance to dis
play the good features of her voice.
As usual, Edythe Hopkins was
splendid. There is a most pleasing
quality of smoothness and roundness
t < her tones that appeal to all. Xr
nest McKinney, as Faust, in white
satin and pink plumes, quite delight
ed and surprised everyone. McKin
ney’s voice is still a bit limited in
range, but has every now and then
an excellent tone of the sweet quai
ity we love to hear in serenades.
Mrs. Harry Scougall played the
accompaniment.
Education For
Public Work
Says Cottrell
City Government Expert
Shows Neeessity For
Clean Polities
Assembly Speaker Says
Public Work Needs
College Men
“The impressions people nre to
get .about the University of Oregon
when you students leave here, are
going to be determined by what
they see of you, and what you tell
them,” I)r. Arnold Bennett Hall
told the audience at the last assem
bly of the year yesterday morning,
in a short talk preceding that of
the regular speaker. Rapidly he
outlined a few of the things out
going men and women should keep
in mind for the good of their school.
Chief among these is the warning
not to persuade students to come to
the University of Oregon in prefer
ence to Oregon State College, if the
latter school is really what they
need for the course they have in
mind. “We are trying to make this
a school of quality' in every way,”
President Hall asserted. And he
supplemented this statement by ex
plaining the differences between
the eurriculae of tho two schools,—
a copy of tho courses for both
schools can be found in the front
of the new University of Oregon
catalogue when it comes out. By'
explaining fairly the differences be
tween those departments in which
the two schools give degrees, and in
which they only give “service
courses,” Dr. Hall feels that the
students can help the University of
Oregon to achieve more successfully
the purpose for which it was built.
Cottrell Follows Hall
Following up Dr. Hall’s words
about the student’s duty to the
public, Edwin A. Cottrell, noted
political scientist from Stanford,
addressed the audience on “Educa
tion for Public Service,” pointing
out the value of this particular type
of work, and tho breadth of the
field. Professor Cottrell is an ex
pert on financial and governmental
procedure in cities, and in such
work has distinguished himself in
towns all over California.
Few men go into public service,
he explained to the students, be
cause of the difficult conditions
under which they' must work, and
tho low remuneration they receive.
The fact, however, that colleges, as
well as the general public, are be
ginning to educate people about
municipal planning, city budgetry
and like things, proves, as the lec
turer showed, how important these
things are getting to be. “Wo never
think of the fire department until
our house is in flames,” he illus
trated, “and then we blame the fire
men for beinrr late.”
Public Jobs Boosted
Other things that favor the tak
ing of public jobs, Professor Cot
trell explained, is the fact that these
departments of pmblie service have
come to depend more and more upon
what the colleges teach in their
curriculum. Secondly, the work is
simple; and the politics governing it
is relatively clean—boss control is
found nowadays in very few cities.
Professor Cottrell stressed the
idea that one must go into public
service with the intention of carry
ing on clean politics, and that this
practice should begin on the cam
pus. “The politics on some cam
puses are a great deal worse than
those in the world,” he declared
emphatically.
“I hope some of you will hold
!public offices,” the speaker told the
students; and Professor Cottrell is
firm in the idea that such positions
develop a great deal of responsi
bility. “If you are sensitive and
have a ‘thin skin,’ however,” he
warned, “politics is no place for
you.”
“Tolerance is one of the things
upon which politics is based,” was
one of the final points the professor
brought home to his audience. “You
must see the other felIowT’s point of
view; you cannot be self-centered;
you will need deep-rooted principles,
ideals for the future, and faith to
develop those things that are neces
arv,” the speaker advised.
“You are expected to go out into
the world as leaders of the great
masses who want that leadership,”
was one of the last points the speak
er made; “and remember, if you
have any black spot in your past,
polities will magnify it. In such
case, that game is no place for you.”
Loaned Diamond Ring,
Mistaken Love Affair
Feature Moot Trial
Mr. Harry Ho Franq lias a way
with women, but the wrong wav it
seems, at least in moot trials, for
lie is again being featured, this time
a« the plaintiff in a shattered love
affair.
According to Mr. He Franq lie
presented Miss Caroline Andreftvs
with a diamond ring merely as an
act of courtesy because she wad tod
to wear it as part of her costume to
the April Frolic. She however, took
it the wrong way, accepted it as a
! token of undying affection and re
fused to return it. Mr. He Franq,
however, had better uses for his
beloved ring and demanded its re
turn.
Such was the tangled web that
the budding young attorneys of the
law school had fo deal with. They
were all so excellent however, that
no decision was reached. Meanwhile,
two interested parties are wonder
ing about the ring and if it wouldn’t
be better to call it quits and let
have his way.
Freshmen Track
Meet 3:30 Today
Seigmund, Star Hurdler,
May Not Enter
The jinx which has been following
the Oregon track teams has appeared
again. Ed Seigmund, star low and
high hurdle man with the frosli
track squad has contracted a bad
case of poison oak, and in all prob
ability will bo unable to compete
when the yearlings meet the O. S.
C. rooks on Hayward field at 3:110
this afternoon. With the loss of Ed
the chances for a frosli victory have
taken a considerable '>slum|t, but
such other stars as Lowry, Hill,
Maltby and Hull still give the Ore
gon crew a slight edge on the dope
sheet.
Lowry should take firsts in the
century and 220, Hill is almost cer
tain to repeat his sensational vic
tory over Garrett, diminutive miler
for the rooks. These two young men
fought every inch of their race in
Portland recently, Hill emerging
victor with a beautiful sprint.
Maltby represents the frosli hopes
in the pole vault, while “Tiny” Hall
is a sure first in the shot put, and
possibly the discus. In place of Seig
niund in the low and high sticks,
Hayward will have to depend upon
Maltby in the first and Wood in
the second events. Though Seig
mund has taken firsts in both
events in every race entered this
year, these two boys have both
been a close second in their respec
tive races.
The complete list of entries for
this afternoon:
100—Lowry, Tuttich, Ilill.
220—Lowry, Tuttich, Hill.
410—Anderson. Neal, Wilson.
Mile—Hill, K. Neal.
880—Kakinen, Steel, Overstreet.
Low hurdles—Maltby.
High hurdles—Wood.
Shot put—Hall, Christensen.
Discus—Hall, Christensen.
Javelin—Kakinen, Lowry, Boone.
High jump—Everts, Kitzmillor.
Broad jump—Lowry, Heiberg.
Pole vault—Maltby, Boone.
Belay—Anderson, Neal, Wilson,
Bunyan.
Deck Tennis Honors
Won by Luella Flutter
Teniquoits or deck tennis which
was introduced in the physical edu
cation this year for the first 'time,
met the approval of the faculty and
(ho students, according to Miss Har
riet W. Thomson, professor of phy
sical education.
The games class have played it
both inside and out and the two
high score girls for this term are:
Luella Flutter with 738 points and
Gertrude Mehner with 646 points.
Some of the points were made in
horseshoes but mostly in teniquoits.
Miss Thomson says: “Teniquoits
is one of the best games we are
playing at present. It requires a
great deal of skill to play and is
very fascinating and the students
are so interested that many play
even between classes. It is a game
that can be played rapidly and with
a great deal of action or can be
played moderately.
Last P. A. Examination
Slated for Saturday
The last physical ability tesi, of
the year will be held Saturday, May
26, at the men’s gym.
“It will be the last chance for tlio
boys to redeem themselves”, says
Herman Gawcr, student assistant,
who will have charge of’ the test.
The list of entries is posted on
the bulletin board near the basket
window in the men’s gym dressing
room.

Fight Opened
By Fraternity
ToStopTaxes
Willamette Organization
Has Oregon Barking
In Court Suit
No-profit Corporation Plea
Of Kappa Gamma Rlio
In Test Case
I
By GLENN GALL ’
Backed by all fraternities ami
sororities on the University of Ore
gon campus and by their alumni
bodies as well, a suit was filed in
circuit court at Salem Tuesday by
Kappa Gamma Rho, local fraternity
at Willamette University, starting
a concerted fight by college frater
nities and sororities throughout Ore
gon to cscapo payment of taxes on
their houses.
“Fraternities and sororities at
Oregon Stato College, together with'
their alumni bodies, havo pledged
their support in the fight,” Bob
Benjamin, who is in charge of the
University of Oregon houses’ share
of the work, announced yesterday.
Suit was filed against Mariori
county, the county sheriff, and the
county assessor, asking an injunc
tion prohibiting them from collect
ing taxes now levied against tlio
fraternity’s property and restrain
ing them from levying taxes in the
future.
Oregon Houses Help
According to Benjamin each fra
ternity and sorority on the Oregon
campus has contributed $25 to a
fund for carrying the case to tlio
stato supreme court as a test case
if necessary.
The Willamette organization bases
its suit on the contention that tho
fraternity is organized and incor
porated on a non-profit basis, and
that it is benevolent and charitable
in its purpose, thus being exempt
from taxation.
Chapter 9 of title 59, Oregon
laws, is specifically cited in tho
complaint filed in tho circuit court,
listing the different kinds of benev
olent, and fraternal organizations.
The complaint states that the Kappa
Gamma Rho fraternity is included
in this classification. Section 4235,
Oregon laws, exempts from taxation
all real property of such an organi
zation which is used purely for the
organization’s business and for
nothing else. As soon as the prop
erty is used for profit, directly or
indirectly, exemption from taxation
ceases.
That the fraternity is operated
strictly on a basis of no profits,
that membership is limited to men
students at Willamette University,
that board and room is furnished
these men at cost, and that only
voluntary contributions are accepted
to raiso funds to pay for the house
are the statements made in the com
plaint.
Seeks Non-tax Rights

NFS Student Checks Due Largely
To Carelessness, Says Banker
Failure on the part of university
students to hoop their check stubs,
so as to compute a balance correctly,
was said by W. T. Gordon, vice
president of the First National bank,
Eugene, to bo the biggest reason
for financial mixups relating to
NSF checks.
The vice-president called in the
auditor, and W. Tv. Howling, tho man
who sits at the information desk.
The three men were quite agreed
that there are not so many N8F
chocks among students as there
used to be. The fact is that many
students do not open accounts in
Eugene banks since tho service
charge for a low average balance
went into effect October 1, 1923.
Students do business with the home
bank, using Eugene banks only as
a means of cashing their checks. Tho
decrease in tho average of NSF
cheqks on student accounts may
not be duo to an increased intelli
gence on the part of students, but
rather to tho fewer student accounts.
“Wo have,” said the auditor,
“some very good student accounts.
Fifty per cent of them are small,
but a few amount to considerable
size, and others if not large, aro
at least well taken care of.”
Mr. Gordon expressed satisfaction
at the chance to speak on the sub
ject of students’ care of their fi
nances. There were several things
that he wished to say regarding the
manner in which students handle
their accounts at the bank.
“I think,” said Mr. Gordon, “that!
oi> the whole N8F checks among
students are the result of careless
ness. Tt isn’t at all a vicious care
lessness. It is just unpremediated.
They just don’t exercise care they
should. They should learn to watch
their bank balance, and realize that
they have only so much money to
their credit. Attempting to over
diaw an account is a serious of
fense. The biggest fault is that stu
dents do not keep their check stubs.
They won’t take the time to com
pute a balance.”
Student accounts cost the bank
quite a sum of money, according to
the auditor. Student depositors come
in two or threo times a week ask
ing for balances and statements.
Or.ce a month, a balance as they
get their cancelled checks should
be all that is necessary.
“We find,” said Mr. Rowling,
“that towards the end of each term
accounts begin to get quite low,
I but we notice no difference be
tween one term and another in the
average number of low balances.”
The bankers decided that thero
was very little difference between
student accounts and others when
it came to the tax for a low average
balance. As stated above, many
students do not open accounts be
cause they realize that their balance
would bo below the requirement,
and subject to a service charge.
