To Open Baseball Season Today Reinhart Field Will Be Scene Of Initial Fray Gigantic Parade To Start Season on Campus Mayor To Pitch First Ball To Professor Turnbull; Earl Will Catch By PHIL, COGSWELL (Emerald Sports Editor) Baseball will be king on the campus today, when Oregon and Oregon State nines clash on Rein hart field at 3:45 this afternoon in the opening game of the 1931 sea son. The Webfoots, coached by Billy Reinhart, are starting the season two weeks in advance, the north ern baseball schedule having been revised with the entry of Wash ington. Rally Parade Set Unequaled in the history of the school will be the inaugural base ball ceremonies which will fitting ly start the 1931 season. The blare of bands, the glitter of Rolls Royces, the rattle of the humble campus flivvers, will join in a gi gantic parade, starting at Fifth and Willamette streets at 3 o’clock and leading up through the city ^ to Reinhart field. Harriet Kibbee, secretary of the associated students, who has had charge- of issuing invitations to auto drivers to join the parade, estimated last night that 90 cars or more from houses on the cam pus would be on hand, besides those of the townspeople. It is expected that 5000 spectators will be at the park to witness the game. Mayor To Pitch Ball Mayor H. E. Wilder will be on deck to pitch the first ball towards the home plate, and George S. Turnbull, professor in the school of journalism, will attempt to hit it, providing it comes near enough. Virgil Earl, new dean of men, will be asked to catch behind the bat ter, while to prevent any monkey business being pulled, William Tugman, managing editor of the Register-Guard, has been invited to be the official arbiter, j. Enthusiasm over the opening game celebrations has been run ning high both on the campus and among the down-town merchants. DeNeffe’s will give a new hat to the first Oregon player who should happen to knock a home run, and the Heilig theater offers a double pass to every Webfoot who gets a two-base hit. As to the line-up which will (Continued on Page Three) All Quiet Along Political Front After Sudden Party Upheaval Mimnaugh and Knowlton Uneasy Heads Hoping To Wear Crown By THORNTON GALE Following the cataclysmic up heaval of the Knowlton, nee Pot win, ticket yesterday, all is com paratively quiet along the politi cal front. Rumors hinting of ad ditional changes in the present ticket proved untrue upon investi gation. Mimnaygh and Knowlton, the uneasy heads that hope to wear the crown, still continue to hold their power, and the possibility of another major change in either party is extremely unlikely. That another man of the hour could arise at this time, even with the aid of several alarm clocks, is doubtful. Results of the party switch are problematical, and as whether it weakened or strengthened the ticket, one man’s guess is as good as another’s. Two Co-op board positions still *-— remain open on the tickets, with little if any bidding from compet ing houses, but they will be spread out somewhere along the line as pacifiers. Both parties held support meet ings last night, the Mimnaugh camp at the Alpha Chi Omega house at 8:30, and the Knowlton backers at the Kappa Alpha Theta house at 9:30. The usual promises of a hundred per cent vote were given by the backers of the two sides, and some of the “fence sit ters" made timid declarations of tepid support. Throughout yesterday, M i m - naugh and Knowlton continued their organization attempts among the undecided houses. What effect they have had so far on weaken ing the resistance of the "in be tweens” will be more definitely known in the next day or two. The first of the short biographi cal sketches to be published in the Emerald will start tomorrow. The first will deal with Brian Mim naugh and Chet Knowlton, candi dates for president. Debate Tonight In Villard Ends Forensic Season Chain Store Question To Be Argued; Willamette Upholds Affirmative Oregon’s forensic season, which has included debates with schools of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and California, will close tonight with the decision debate between the men’s team of Oregon and Wil lamette college in Villard hall at 7:30 o’clock. Charles Roberts and R o 11 a Reedy, both of whom are sopho mores, will uphold the negative of the question, “Resolved, That the expansion of the chain store is det rimental to the best interests of the American people,” while the Willamette debaters will argue the affirmative. Rolla Reedy has debated before this year for Oregon, but this is the first time that Charles Rob erts, who is also center on the basketball team, has taken part in a forensic contest. This is right in line with the policy of the de bate department, which has been to train and use just as many men and women in forensic activities as possible, and not simply a few. Dr. Robert H. Seashore, associ ate professor of psychology, will act as chairman for this last de bate, and Denver Garner, Corval lis high school debate coach, will , serve as critic judge. Avenging Co-Eds in Full Sway As Senior Leap Week Starts By RUFUS KIMBALL With the avenging co-eds now in full sway over the campus, and the men powerless except for lis T tening hopefully for the telephone, Senior Leap Week has descended upon the social life of the Univer sity. The “Co-ed’s Revenge” got off to an auspicious start at the Delta Gamma house last night, and will continue mercilessly today in va ried forms, beginning with the an nual Kappa Koffee between 3 and 5 this afternoon, and winding up with the all-campus Mortar Board ball. For many of the victims it will be practically a continuous affair, with formal dinners at va rious sororities filling in the in tervening hours this evening. The Kappa Koffee, an informal function for seniors only, is to be a date affair, according to Gladys Clausen, general chairman for Leap Week festivities. The Mortar Board ball, a formal dance at the Eugene hotel, is the only event of the week-end to which not only seniors but the entire campus is invited. 4 Today, as in years past, will doubtless find a large number of co-eds desperately scouring the vicinity for “campus crates” of any and all descriptions, in order to avoid paying taxi fares tonight to the hotel. Fraternity houses will enjoy the annual pleasure of “look ing ’em up and down” as they come to call for their men, and perhaps engaging them in casual chit-chat while the latter quite deliberately adjust tux ties and put on the fin ishing touches upstairs. And on ; top of that, the male victims are net forgetting that for once the women pay all the bills! “Co-ed’s Revenge,” perhaps— but it isn't only the women who are taking advantage of the Leap Week scourge to “get even” with ■ the other half of the University. Water Carnival Committee Named By Jack Rollwage Drawings for Canoe Race To Be Held Tomorrow At Old Library Plans for this year’s water car nival received a shove forward when a committee was announced Jack Rollwage yesterday by Jack Rollwage, chairman of the meet. The carni val is to take place on Saturday morning of Jun i o r Week - end, May 8, 9, and 10. The committee is as follows: Jane Munk, sec retary; Paul Laf fer t y , men’s swimming race; John Dodds, fea tures; Frances Rupert, women's swimming race; Charles Stocklen, canoe race. Sub-committees will be announced later. Drawings Held Today Drawings for the canoe race are to be held today in front of the old library at 12:45. All men’s and women’s living organizations are asked to have a representative there, said Rollwage, so that they may find out what organization ! they will be paired with in the race. “Although the canoe race will be the same distance as last year, from the portage to the Anchorage, the distances for the swimming contests will be shortened to about half the old length,” Rollwage said. "This should allow more swim mers to enter.” New Timing System Several other features were an ; nounced by the chairman. Prizes j will be given to the winners in the j various contests. Entertainment is to be offered the spectators be j tween races, although its nature is | not yet determined. The commit tee intends to find a system of tim | ing the canoe race which will be I an improvement over the old man ner. — College Nite Tickets On Sale at Pharmacy — Special student rate bargain tickets for the Fox McDonald Col lege Nite were placed on sale last ; night at the Oregon Pharmacy, 882 Thirteenth avenue east. The price of the tickets has been set j at 35 cents.

S. U. O. constitu tion to the effect that the presi dent of the Associated Women Students each year shall have a non-voting place on the executive council, it was decided by vote of the executive council at its meet ing yesterday. The resolution will become effective next year. George Cherry, president of the associated students, and Bill Whitely, vice-president, in making known the decision of the council, released the resolution as follows, taken from the minutes of yester day’s meeting: “On the recommendation of the constitutional revision committee, a motion was made and passed that the president of the Associ ated Women Students be entitled to attend meetings of the A. S. U. O. executive council, with power to participate in discussion but not to vote.” “The committee felt that this is a wise move,” Whitely, who is chairman of the revision commit tee, told the Emerald last night, “with the purpose in mind of se curing for the women students a definite representation on the ex ecutive council, and making for closer cooperation between the A. W. S. and the A. S. U. O.” A. W. S. Constitution Approved At its meeting yesterday, Cher ry revealed, the executive council passed favorably upon the new A. W. S. constitution, which has been drawn up and is now pending, and which was submitted to the coun cil for its approval. The docu ment was approved with two minor changes, he said.

Ludlow sustained his serious in juries about midnight Wednesday, being crushed under the weight of the tree and frantic with pain un til rescued at 5 o’clock Thursday morning by a neighboring woods man, Dee Wright. Ludlow was brought to the Eu gene hospital at 1 o’clock yester day afternoon after crews of men worked to remove fallen trees I from the highway in order that J the relief truck and ambulance t carrying the injured boy could get I through to Eugene. Ludlow entered the University I in the fall of 1929 as a freshman in pre-law, but did not register last fall. He was well known for j his ability in tennis, having re j ported for the freshman net team. Cold Reception Greets Visitors At Friendly Hall A N epidemic of water bagging broke out at Friendly hall last night, and disaster followed in the wake of anyone ap proaching the building. Residents of the top floor vied for long distanee honors, hurling balloons of eold water far out in front of the hall. Seventy feet was the furthest record created up to a late hour. One unlucky dweller on the first floor unwisely stuck his head out of a window and was accurately and thoroughly water-bagged. Wet pavements surrounding the building gave mute evidence that Friendly hall was none too friendly last night. Band i lined Up For Big Program Tomorrow Night Musicians Para0 cents per couple will be charged. The music will be furnished by the "Ten Commanders,” who will also provide music for "That New Idea" when it goes on the stage at the Heilig May 1 and 2. Chorus To Feature Some of the special features or the dance will include the pony chorus, made up of 12 of the Vod vil chorines who will reveal a few of the steps which will feature their appearance in the show. The “Rhythm Boys,” the well known Oregon trio who will appear in the Vodvil, will also perform at the dance. They announce, however, that they will not release the num bers which they have worked up for the revue. Marian Camp, danc er and director of the girls’ danc ing chorus will also be featured at the dance as will Tory Shell, and the Harmony Twins, "those banjo playin' fools.” This will be the first and last opportunity, Palmer said, that the students will have to get a line on the 1931 Vodvil. Palmer Will “M. C.” “Slug” Palmer, chairman-direc tor of “That New Idea” will be master of ceremonies, and prom ises that this will be the best dance of the term, and that the features will outnumber and outclass any that have been seen this year. “If you are looking for a good time, good music, good features, and an all-around good dance,” Palmer said, “be sure to be on hand Saturday night at 9 o’clock, at the Cocoanut Grove.” All profits, after paying for the floor and the orchestra, Robins stated, will go to the Vodvil fund.

Men Take Leave As Mortar Board Ball Approaches Women To Turn Tables on Men This Evening at Formal Dance A great many men are packing their bags and leaving town for the week-end. Destination un known. Reasons? Also unknown, but tonight is the night for the Mortar Board ball (9 o’clock at the Eugene hotel), and the women are doing all the inviting, are call ing for the men, sending them flowers, hiring cars, dining them afterwards. "The tickets are going like wild fire,” said Dorothy Eberhard, gen eral chairman for the dance, “and a great deal of enthusiasm is be ing shown. Many of the houses are holding formal dinners before the ball." The Mortar Board ball is an ex ceedingly formal affair and one to which every person on the campus is invited.. "There has been a ru mor," Miss Eberhard advised, "to the effect that freshman men will not be allowed. I want to deny that rumor. The dance has been advertised as “all-campus,” and it is that.” Those who have not already ob tained their tickets may get them at the Co-op or at the dean of women’s office. The price is $1.25. Tickets will also be available at the door.

In their history they have shown themselves to be united against the enemy, but when they succeed, they break up into factions. “If the decent people of Spain can sink their individual differ ences, I think that the Republican form of government will be a suc cess,” said Miss Thompson. “The Republicans can even get the aristocrats to join them, un less they should antagonize them by confiscating property,” she added. A liberal republic, the return of | the monarchy, or communism are three alternatives for Spain, which Miss Thompson pointed out. “On account of their individual ism, the Spaniards will not make good communists,” she said. Miss Thompson met one of the members of the newly formed pro visional cabinet, Fernando de los Rios, minister of public instruc tion, whose daughter was one of her pupils in Spain. Fernando de los Rios, formerly a professor at the University of Granada and a member of con gress, is the nephew of Francisco Giner de los Rios, an educator who had much influence on Spanish men of affairs. Desiring a reform in Spanish education, he later established the “Free Institution of Teaching" in Madrid which was located just across ,he street from the Institut.o Internacional, where Miss Thompson taught. It was at this place that Miss Thompson (Continued on rage Two)
