Laird’s party and Cherry's party are still scrambling for support among the living organizations, and Cal Bryan is vigorously con tinuing his campaign on the basis of his slogan: “Vote for the indi vidual instead of the ticket.” Candidates Eye Nominations All three candidates have their eyes on the nominating assembly to be held next Thursday morning, and each group of ward-bosses will use the welcome week-end re cess for much re-girding of loins and re-edging of nicked axes. A Laird meeting was held at the Sigma Chi house at 8 o’clock Thursday evening, and a Cherry meeting wa3 held at the Kappa Sigma house at 9:30. The large percentage of students who at tended both meetings indicates that many houses are still window shopping. Laird’s campaign managers j claim that the change from John son to Cherry was an admission of structural weakness in their op ponents’ party and declare that they have gained great strength among the fraternities and soror ities since the change was an nounced. Backers Said Increased On the other hand, Cherry’s backers maintain that, their nu merical backing among the houses has been considerably increased since Cherry took the helm and declare that Cherry has enough prestige among the independents to enlarge their power in toto. Thus claim and counter-claim fly back and forth, and the official lists of supporters which each par ty puts out still show considerable overlapping. Some houses, nota bly sororities, are swayed back and forth by internal factions, and have announced official changes of-mind several times. A few others, grooming hand picked candidates for the class 4 elections of the second week in May, are attempting to keep the good will of both parties in the general election by refusing to take sides, and announce that they will let their members vote as they please. These positions in no-man’s land are not very comfortable when the shot and shell from the opposing lines flies back and forth overhead, but it seems that many of the organizations will still be (Continued on Page Three) Outdoor Concert Slated For Sunday l niversity Band To Play On Tennis Courts If it is a clear day tomorrow the Sunday evening outdoor band concert, set for la3t week, will be held at 7 o’clock on the tennis courts of the old library.

Oratorio Society Will Sing Easter Vespers Sunday Chorus of 300 Voices Will Appear at Auditorium At Four o’Clock ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ Is One Number; Evans Directs The 300 voices of the Eugene Oratorio Society chorus will be featured in the Easter vespers program to be given at 4 o’clock tomorrow afternoon at the Music building auditorium. Under the direction of John Stark Evans, the chorus will sing two selections, “The Heavens Are Telling,” by Haydn, and the “Hal lelujah Chorus,” from Handel’s “Messiah.” The chorus by Haydn is a selection from his oratorio, “The Creation,” which is to be presented by the Eugene society and visiting artists at McArthur court on Moy 1G, and will give , the vespers audience an advance [ sample of the kind of music in "The Creation.” A duet, “Arise, Shine, for Thy Light Is Come,” by Gilbert, will be sung by Edna V. Pearson, soprano, and Leah Perkins Wyatt, contral to. The program will be opened with an organ number, “Celes tia,” by Bainbridge Crist, played by Frances Pierce. The Rev. Mr. Roy Leslie Smith, pastor of the Methodist church, will give an appropriate Easter reading. National Rifle Matches Ended Here Last Week With the last shot of the fourth and final stage fired, the National Collegiate rifle matches in the Ninth corps area came to an end | the last of this week, according I to Capt. C. H. Bragg, coach of the Oregon team. The final rating of the various ! schools entered in the match de pended on the results of the Ore j gon match as the other teams en ! tered completed their firing at an ' earlier date. The closing of the j rifle range made it necessary to | postpone the Oregon firing. Wliat’s Wrong With Women? Men Say They’re INot So Bad 4 4 By CARL YVERSCHKCL The men have spoken! Women, several said, in answer to the question, “What is wrong with women?” are not so bad—in fact, rather nice people—not useful, but quite decorative—their faults are compensated by their virtues. Nevertheless, here are some sug gestions for women—mayhap they will be helpful to the lovelorn: Biir Hammond, business man ager of the Emerald, said, “The girl I like is the one who can be serious when it’s appropriate, who has a good sense of humor, and is full of pep—keeps you inter ested and on your toes. Likes Silent Woman “I appreciate a woman who does not mention other dates she has, flowers she gets from other men, her long distance telephone calls, and the big parties she goes on. “Also, I like a woman who can sense a man’s financial situation and act accordingly—that’s my ideal of a woman—and I’ve found such, too, though not very many. “And if you ask a woman out a few times, and then your frat brother happens to ask her too, I don’t think she ought to be so indiscreet as to go—but she does, just the same. I don't like that. “Not enough g^irls have been out in the business world and made money of their own, and business contacts, to understand the more I serious aspects of life. “Most of all, men don't want women to be too independent; they 1 appreciate evidences. Even a lit : tie bit of this: ‘big strong, you, ' and little, helpless me’ stuff makes a fellow feel kind of good.” “What’s wrong with women?

Memorial Art Museum Nearing Completion With the bricks laid half-way to the top, the Prince L. Campbell memorial art museum is beginning to look more like an art museum and less like a mausoleum. So fast are the bricks going up, that one man is kept busy operating an elevator which carries the men with their wheelbarrows of bricks from the ground to the place half way up the wall where the mason ry work is going on. Thirty-five men in all are now, employed on the constructior work of the building. Of these 22 are employed on the brick-lay' 1 ing. Knew Gun Was Loaded; Pulled Trigger To Prove A LTHOUOH she knew it was loaded, nevertheless Myrtle Seaverson, junior, shot herself in the finger the other day with a pistol. Miss Seaverson hails from the broad plains of Wyo ming, where the red Western blood still runs thicker than fraternity coffee. It might be best to explain that the pistol is a toy affair an inch long that shoots bullets about the size of a pin head, but the shells contain sufficient powder to make a perceptible indention in a finger if hold close enough. The services of a physician were required to remove the bullet. The accident happened while Miss Seaverson was explaining to some of her sorority sisters how a plucky girl of the true West defends her fair name. She is convalescing nicely with one finger of her left hand swathed in court plaster.

Varsity Track Star Blinded Temporarily Claire McKennon Suffers Loss of Sight Looking At Are Heat Lamp CONDITION IS PAINFUL Eye Speeialist Assures His Reeovery; Student May Run in Spring Meet Claire McKennon, star varsity track man, was strickeh tempo rarily blind early yesterday morn ing, as a result of exposure of his eyes to a carbon arc heat lamp. Doctors assure him that he will recover his sight. Dr. J. R. Wetherbee, eye special ist, stated last evening that Mc Kennon was much better, but it would be impossible to say how long it will be before he will be able to see again. His condition is still painful. Dr. Wetherbee believes that McKennon may be able to enter the spring track events. McKennon Tells of Accident At his home yesterday, McKen non gave an account of his un fortunate experience: ‘‘I felt very strange when I woke up early this morning to find that I was blind. I tried to open my eyes, but they filled with water so fast it was impossible to keep them open. My eyes pained me. I was worried at first, but greatly relieved when the doctor told me that I would be all right. I will have to wear dark glasses for several days.” Bill Hayward, track coach, said that he hoped that McKennon would recover very soon, and be able to run again this season. He said that McKennon had been troubled with weak eyes. Competed in Nationals Last year McKennon won the Northwest conference quarter mile race in 49.8 seconds, and was one of three Oregon men who competed in the national meets at Chicago. Personnel Work Gets Recognition Through States A. B. Hall Returns After Four Weeks of Tour of East and South Two movements which have been recently instigated at the University of Oregon, namely, the personnel work and the movement for the improvement of college teaching, are also receiving wide recognition all over' the United States, according to Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, president of the University, who returned recent ly from a four weeks tour of the east and south. Especially have these two move ments- attracted attention of edu cators in that they are both init iated and carried on by the facul ty, stated Dr. Hall, who reported that he found these systems not nearly so highly developed at any other school. They were started by Dr. Hall in an effort to get the faculty to practice what the schools of education are teaching. Development of Arts Sought Another university project which received very favorable comment every place Dr. Hall visited was the attitude of the administration toward the development of music, fine arts and literature as a fun ! damental part of the educational ! policy. The recent selection of the school of architecture by an east ern foundation as an educational center, is a recognition of Dean Ellis F. Lawrence's splendid work in building up the school, and of the university's attitude toward aesthetics. PlanH Return Soon Dr. Hall spent two days visiting the University of North Carolina, which is recognized as the greatest ! of all factors in leading the edu cational, industrial, and spiritual ; life of its state than all others combined. The Oregon educator studied the systems used there, in order to find out other ways in which the University of Oregon might serve the state, and he plans to return their soon tor a complete week’s visit. Musical Numbers On Easter Service Westminster House Plans Annual Communion Westminster house will hold its annual Easter communion service and installation of new officers at 8 o’clock Sunday morning.

Golf Bugs Given Longer Time for Qualifying Play Emerald Tourney Keep? Lists Open Beeause of Rainy Weather Co-op Cup To Be Put Up For Annual Prize Golfers who have entered the Emerald’s spring handicap tourn ament will have until Tuesday eve ning to turn in their qualifying scores, Faulkner Short, manager, announced yesterday. Bad weath er has kept many from playing their qualifying rounds so an addi tional three days were given the divot diggers in which to com plete their cards and drop them in the box in the Emerald copy room. The first round will be played Wednesday. Tourney Draws Interest This is the first time a college newspaper has organized a golf tournament and the initial attempt is being watched with much in terest. It is planned to make the tournament an annual event at Oregon. The cup donated by the Co-op to the winner of the cham pionship flight will not be a per manent possession but will be re awarded to the winner of each year’s contest. This is the only opportunity the college golfer has to get a line on his or her ability. The tournament was organized for the purpose of stimulating interest in golf at the University. Club Links Use Given The courtesy of the use of the links at the Eugene country club, where the tournament is to be held, was extended through the physical education department at the University. Tourney play can be staged at the country club only Saturday mornings. Contestants must be off the course by noon, the rest of the week-end being closed to all except club members.

April Frolic Set Tonight At Gerlinger Only Men Allowed To See Co-ed Orgy Are Those In Orchestra CLASS SKITS SLATED Musical Feature Acts on Bill; Costumes To Be Worn at Party Red, green, and yellow balloons, costumes of quaint and colorful design, music, laughter — will reign supreme at the April Frolic party tonight which is given by the Associated Women Students of the campus. Gay Pierrettes and petite ging ham dolls will sit side by side in the gymnasium of the Gerlinger building to view the carefully ar ranged stunts that are scheduled for the evening’s entertainment. A two-piece orchestra composed of George Barron, piano, and Lawrence Wagner, trumpet will furnish music for dancing in in termissions and after the program. Annual Event Is Inviting Joan Patterson, chairman of the event states: "No woman will re gret donning a costume of some sort and coming to the frolic to night. With pop-corn balls, col ored balloons, music, and a good program, everyone should have an evening of hilarious fun and en tertainment.” Each of the four stunts to be given displays the talent and or iginality of the class responsible. The seniors are giving a clever skit with the theme, "So This Is College.” Chinese Garden Feature "A Pek-in a Chinese Tea Gar den” is most original and colorful, and is presented by the junior women. The sophomores have been well trained in “Rush Week at the Eu gene Hotel,” and a clever idea is involved. Frosh Goes "Window Shopping" The freshmen go "Window Shopping" with a brand, new idea that has been carefully organized and rehearsed. Curtain acts have been arranged as an addition to the evening’s en tertainment. They are: Eleanor Lewis and Marian Camp in a dialogue; Jewel Ellis, a song; Louise Marvin, tap dance; Maxine Glover, a piano solo; and the Alpha Phi trio, which is com posed of Carolyn Haberlach, Fla vel Hayner, and Gladys Foster, will give several numbers.

Political Battle Getting Hot Politics . . . cliques . . . lights on late at the Sigma Chi house, cars gathering at the Phi Psi’s . . . whispered conversations at the Side, over cokes, giving some uninitiated the dope ... a hectic time now . * . mushroom friend ships springing up overnight . , . ever so many more hellos and peo ple speaking to me that I never knew before and if I did wouldn’t speak. Day before yesterday Plutarch Zilch (of course that isn’t his name; I use that only for various reasons) spoke genially to me anti smiled a smile that would have melted the heart of a Theta. 1 grew expansive. At last, I thought he was beginning to recognize my sterling qualities; I had dreams ol future good times. . . . Ah! (That is supposed to be a sigh, but as you can't print sighs, we’ll let it go at that.) But it just proved to be another dream gone down the drain, an other cherished illusion faded. I walked down the street and met a side-kick and her words were a blow. “Gee, it’s a scream the way Plutarch Zilch is handshaking the crowd. Never saw him so polite, you sure can tell he’s running for president.” That, dear reader, is how things go during the season of politics, which is in full blast on the cam pus now. The candidates for va rious jobs are glib with promises— “You get your house to vote for me and I’ll make Blank-Blank chairman for the clean-up com mittee for the Y. M. C.
