Infirmary Left Bare 1 For Week-end Events A “housecleaning” at the in firmary yesterday, as one of the nurses expressed it, has left only four patients: Frances Rupert and Louise Candeaux, with the grip, Leah Harrington, the measles case, and Paul Biggs, convalescing from appendicitis. 1 ◄ Seven Roses Handed Out by Mortar Board At the same time that the Friars were choosing members yesterday from among the Campus Day throngs, members of Mortar Board, senior wom en’s honorary, filed out of John son hall, across Thirteenth street, and wended their way through the crowd, picking out seven pledges to the organiza tion. Margaret Cummings, Dor othy Eberhard, Daphne Hughes, Kathryn Langenberg, Mildred McGee, Bess Templeton, and Phyllis Van Kimmell were the seniors chosen for active mem bership, while C'onsuelo McMil lan and Wilmoth Osborne were selected for honorary member ship. Mrs. Alice Baker Macduff of Eugene, a member of Mortar Board at the University of Michigan, was also chosen for membership in the Oregon chapter. Luncheon Crowd Consumes 6,000 Buns and 3,000 Dixies Six thousand buns, three thou sand Dixies, three thousand candy bars, one hundred and twenty five gallons of fruit salad, one hundred gallons of punch and three thousand packages of pota to chips, besides several rolls of meat loaf were dispensed in quick order yesterday by Gladys Clau sen and her staff of assistants at the annual Campus Luncheon. The crowd of campus picnickers scattered themselves to all parts of the campus and there ate in contentment—all except those who were so unfortunate as to be : chosen for a cold ducking in the | fountain by husky Oregon letter men for breaking some time hon ored tradition. Freshmen, seniors, and profes sors were treated alike with a ducking and one three-year foot ball letterman was seen to go in with the rest. Music by Johnny Robinson’s Varsity Vagabonds lent atmos phere to the occasion and several vocal and dancing features were enjoyed. The overcast skies of the last week cleared to permit a warm Oregon sun to beat down upon the scene. It was a perfect day for the lunceon. One of the most impressive events of the day was the pledging ceremonies held by two senior honoraries, Mortar Board and Friars, with members of both or ganizations marching through the campus to pick out their pledges. Frosli Will Dance All Afternoon and Evening at Picnic Music To Be Furnished From 4 to 11; Dance Contest Planned Buses Will Transport Class To Swimmer’s Delight Dance music will be provided all afternoon and evening for those attending the annual frosh picnic to be held Friday, May 16, at Swimmers’ Delight, it was an nounced last night by Andy Brown, dance chairman for the event. “We are making the dance fa cilities the main feature of the picnic entertainment,” Brown re ported. “From 4 o’clock until the evening lunch is served, a group of excellent musicians recruited from the class will supply the har mony. From 7:30 to 11, a first class dance band will perform. “Although swimming, boating, baseball and other entertainment have been arranged, many of those who can not remain after the din ner hour will naturally prefer to dance, so the dance hall will be in use all afternoon. “In the evening, a dance con test will be held, with prizes of fered by McMorran and Wash burne, Fulops Clothing store, and other Eugene merchants.” Ken Lawson, transportation chairman, reported last night that he had made arrangements for chartering a fleet of busses to leave the campus at 4 o’clock for Swimmers’ Delight, which is lo cated about four miles east of Goshen. Mimeographed maps, showing the location of Swimmers’ De light, and indicating the roads to be taken, wilf be posted in all liv ing organizations soon.

Team Completes Successful Year In Rifle Matches Harvey Wriglit Takes Top Place in Every Contest Oregon Men Plaee Third In Ninth Corps Area The conclusion of the National Intercollegiate rifle matches, which the Oregon rifle team en tered for the first itime this year, l has brought to Ian end one of the most success f u 1 years that Oregon teams have witnessed, according to Captain C. H. Bragg, coach of the team. ■■■ -■■■ In the Ninth Harvey Wright Corps area match, Oregon took third place among the schools competing, and thus became eligible to enter the National Intercollegiate matches. Harvey Outstanding “The most outstanding rifleman of the year is Harvey Wright,” Captain Bragg stated. “Wright’s scores this year have been at the top of the list in each match the team entered. He was captain of the team which won the cham pionship at Camp Perry last Au gust, tied for third place in the individual shooting, and won med als in five different matches there. He also made a fine record at Vancouver barracks last summer, winning the American Legion award for the outstanding cadet in Oregon, and various other tro phies and medals. He also was the individual high point shot here last year. His latest achievement is winning a gold medal for tak ing first place in the state Oregon National Guard rifle match. At present he is assistant on the rifle range, and a major in the R. O. T. C.,” Captain Bragg said. Was in Marine Corps Before coming to the Univer sity, in fact before graduating from high school, Wright was a sergeant in the marine corps for three years. He travelled around the world on the U.S.S. New York. After being honorably discharged from the marines, he came back to Eugene, and finished high school at the age of 22. He has worked his way through school, (Continued on Fage Two) Y. W. To Sponsor Breakfast May 18 Janet Osborne in Charge Junior-Senior Feed The annual Junior-Senior break fast, sponsored by the Y. W.

Kelly, Idaho Head, Doubts University Ability To Accomplish Deferred Pledging Editor’s Note: This is the fourth of a series of interviews run in connection with the Em erald on deferred pledging. By RALPH DAVID and OLIVER POLITICUS Objections of fraternities to de ferred pledging can be met in most local situations, Dr. Frederick J. Kelly, president of the University of Idaho, declared as his belief in an interview yesterday. But Dr. Kelly doubts the ability of most universities to give in dormitor ies the training to freshmen now performed by fraternities. [ “I believe that statistics will [ show that the average length of FRIDAY’S RETURNS ON EMERALD FLEDGING POLL Eighty-six ballots counted on Friday In the Emerald poll on the proposed deferred system brought the totals to: Against .— 202 For . 41 Total . 243 Approximately five hundred ballots are expected. time spent by men in a fraternity now is les3 than three years. Un der a proper plan of deferred pledging, and by that I mean one adapted to local conditions, the length of time each man would spend in the house would be no less than the present average. “Fraternities can function best by getting men who will stick throughout.” With a short rushing perior, the houses will quite frequently get men who will drop out of school after a few terms, Dr. Kelly ex plained. This constant withdrawal and new pledging lowers the av erage period for each man, and will also work hardship on the fraternity budget. A fraternity man himself, Dr. Kelly declared himself satisfied that most of the organization ob jections could be answered. The difficulty lies in providing in the (Continued on Cage Three) Sea Monster Blazes Way to Glorious Death Trailoky o-Vljayo, flame* breathing, smoke-snorting Ori ental sea monster, died a glo rious self-inflieted death last night when the fire of his own hreath gutted his entire head and reduced him to a smolder ing framework of wood and steel. Two hours later the judges of the Canoe Fete awarded Trailokya first prize. With tongues of flame mount ing hungrily toward three Trl Oelts poised on the monster's back, the swimmers and pud dlers of Sigma Pi Tau effected a spectacular rescue. Truilokya, head aflame and eyes spouting forth a thick black smoke, , flouted gently downstream and nosed into the green under brush of the bank just opposite the Anchorage. Within twenty minutes a dripping, shivering group of fire-fighters had extinguished the blaze—in time to save Trailokya’s long, snaky body | and the general contour of his head, but not in time to save his life. Speed! Two-block Flivver Race Run In 24 1-2 Minutes Wintermeier Speeil Ace; Tennis Court Dance Draws Crowds Freshman Will Paint ‘O’ On Bntte at 8 A. M. Flivvers, some on two cylinders, some on three or four, crawled along thirteenth. The slow flivver classic, feature of Campus day, was on. Long lines of cars, block ed by the crowd that filled the streets, honked impatiently. Taking 24 minutes and 30 sec onds to traverse the distance from Hendricks hall to the Commerce building, Ward Wiptermeier, driv ing a 1923 Maxwell, won first prize, 10 gallons of gas from the Oregon Service station. Second prize, 5 gallons of gas, went to Bill Gribler, who made the trip in 24 minutes. Rufus Kim ball, with a time of 23 minutes, came in third. Bill Donaldson was in charge of the race. Nelson Big Flop John Nelson drove the oldest car, a 1902 Ford, and would eas ily have taken first place except for a misunderstanding about the finish mark. He was so far behind that when someone told him he had completed the distance, he stopped in front of the library and lost the race. The Ford, which be long’s to Nelson's grandfather, was the first one to cross the old Oregon trail. A dance on the polished cement of the tennis courts began at 1:30 and lasted until 3 o’clock. Dave Totten, assisted by Dena Lieual len and Beatrice Bennett, was in charge of this feature. Wins In Fencing The final feature of yesterday’s campus day events was the fenc ing match between Lee Winetrout and Dave Killion. This was won by the former with a score of 7-4. Fred Hollenbeck arranged the match. At 1:30 this afternoon, tryouts for the Washington track meet will be held ou Hayward field. A full time football game be tween two picked teams of Ore gon players, to be played at 3 o’clock on Hayward field, will con | elude campus day events. Second Place GivenAlice in Wonderland’ Large Crowd Sees Entries Pass in Review as Lights Play Dragon ‘Trailokva-Vijayo" Name of Winning Entry “Trailokya - Vijayo,” dragon float entered by Delta Delta Delta and Sigma Pi Tau, was awarded first honors in the 1S530 Canoe Fete, held on the mill-race Friday evening. The float was the first to come down the race and fire burst from the dragon’s mouth and big green eyes glittered in the light. The float was designed to repre sent a dragon just up from the depth of the ocean, and three beautiful women were supported on a platform held up by four men. Second place went to “Alice In Wonderland,” entered by Chi Omega and Gamma hall. First honorable mention was awarded to “In a Temple Garden,” the Zeta Tau Alpha and Psi Kappa entry. "The Marriage of Heing O,” en tered by Kappa Kappa Gamma and Omega hall, and “Thimbe line,” with Delta Zeta and Sigma Alpha Epsilon as the sponsors, also received honorable mention. The winners of first and second places and first honorable men tion will receive prizes for their entries. Sigma Pi Tau will have permanent possession of the cup for men’s houses as this was the third year that it was won by them. Judges Named Judges who awarded the places were Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt, Mrs. Charles L. Schwering, Dean Vir ginia Esterly, Nowland Zane, John Stark Evans, and Hugh Biggs, acting dean of men. A capacity crowd was on hand to witness the annual Oregon wa ter carnival and the events went off without a hitch. For the first time in several years none of the floats were wrecked, although the winning entry burned after pass ing the stands. Several vodvil features from the defunct Junior Vodvil added to this year’s fete. Ed Crebs, Bob Goodrich, Elva Baker, Hal Hat ton, Vernon Russel, Marion Kemp, Sally Addleman, Faye Fishel, and Bob Knox were included in the list of performers. The Phi Sig trio of Oscar Wagner, Vinton Hall, and Jack Morrison also appeared on the program.
