balcony which is being reserved
for mothers desiring to watch the
dance.

The grand march, to be led by
the queen and her attendants will
formally open the dance, and will
start about 10 o'clock. Dancing,
however, will start at 9 o’clock.
The queen's throne will be located
at the end of the court, with the
orchestra shell.
The queen motif will also be car
ried out in the dance programs,
which are unusually elaborate this
year, according to Clifford Beckett,
chairman of the program commit
tee.
Commanders To Play
Music will be furnished by the
Ten Commanders, popular campus
orchestra, and a good dance menu
is promised by Bill Keenan, chair
man of the committee. Several
good features have been secured by
the committee in charge, but de
tails are being withheld.
One of the main events of the
evening will be the awarding by
Vice-President Burt Brown Bark
er of the Koyl and Gerlinger cups
and the scholarship awards.

Student Injured
In Auto Accident
After Canoe Fete
J. Munliollaml, Freshman
From Long Beach, Has
Fractured Skull
Jim M. Munholland, freshman in
pre-law from Long Beach, Califor
nia, and a member of Beta Theta
Pi, was injured in an automobile
accident last night following the
Canoe Fete. He was alone in his
car, which collided with an auto
mobile occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
B. L. Thomas and Mrs. Owen
Thomas.
Munholland was taken to the
Eugene hospital, as also were Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Owen
Thomas being received at the Pa
cific Christian hospital. At the
hospital, it was discovered that
Munholland’s skull was fractured,
but the extent of the injuries of
the others has not been deter
mined further than cuts and
bruises.
Woman Legislator
Finds Masculine
Attitude Peculiar
Legislative work is fascinating,
vigorous, and exhausting, in the
opinion of Mrs. Dorothy McCul
lough Lee, one of the two women
representatives in the last session
of the state legislature, who vis
ited the campus to confer with
students interested in the law pro
fession.
“When I served my first term
in the legislature,” Mrs. Lee said,
“I learned that the men had held
long discussions trying to decide
whether they should take up a
collection and furnish flowers for
my desk every day.
“A woman receives a variety of
information and suggestions. One
veteran legislator seriously ad
vised me to forget to be a lady,”
Mrs. Lee commented.
The attitude of men toward a
new woman representative usually
changes from suspicion and curi
osity to confidence and equality,
when she has demonstrated her in
tention to work. Too many
women, Mrs. Lee said, enter pub
lic life with a desire for notoriety
and publicity, and women can only
hope to gain the confidence of men
in the field when they show that
to get in print or to carry on a
sensational crusade is not their
aim.
Pi Sigma Banquet Date
Slated for Thursday
The annual banquet of Pi Sigma,
national Latin honorary society,
will be held next Thursday night,
May 14, at the Osbum hotel, Dor
othy Eads, president, announces.
At this time the newly-initiated
members are to be honored and a
plaque of the mythical horse, Peg
asus, is to be awarded the most
outstanding student in the Latin
department.
Anyone taking a course in Latin

Huskies Take
Hit-Fest Game
By 8-6 Score
Oregon Blows Wasted;
Fielders Juggle Ball
Reinhart Moves Players In
An Effort To End
Barrage
By JIM YERGEN
Despite the liberal allowance of
17 hits by two Husky pitchers,
Oregon lost the opening game of
the Washington series here yester
day, 8 to 6. The contest was
marked by free hitting on both
sides. The Huskies were aided by
five Webfoot errors.
Dave Bloom lasted six innings,
during which the Huskies pounded
him for all their runs except one.
Jack Hughes took over the mound
work in the seventh. He was in
trouble throughout the rest of the
game, but managed to pull out
with only one tally against him.
The lead wobbled back and forth
during the early stages of the fray.
Putnam started for Washington,
remaining in the game until
chased out by a barrage of hits
in the seventh. The bespectacled
hurler was lucky to get off as
easily as he did. Coming through
in the pinches saved him from be
ing knocked out earlier.
Players Shift Positions
Bill Reinhart radically shifted
his line-up in the eighth in an ef
fort to halt the Husky outburst.
Cliff Potter, who started at third,
was shoved over to cover the ini
tial bag, replacing Lee Chester.
Potter, by the way, had a good
day with the willow, collecting
three blows. Two of his hits were
on slow curves, which he poked
just over Nelson’s head into right
| field.
i Chappie King was sent from the
left garden to protect the hot cor
ner, while Kramer Barnes shifted
to the vacant field position. Rein
hart planted Vern Arnett in mid
dle fly-chasing territory. Although
the fielding did not improve,
Washington was held down some
what for the rest of the game.
Kermit Stevens continued his
brilliant stick work with three
hits, including a long three-bagger
in the first inning that scored Pot
ter for the first Webfoot tally.
Roy Shaneman suddenly found his
batting eye, cracking three singles.
In his other time at bat he gained
life on Heaman’s error.
Oregon Scores in First
The Webfoots started out as if
they meant to win without delay.
After Stevens’ triple put Potter
across, Brian Mimnaugh swung
hard, sending a hot grounder off
the Husky short patcher’s shins.
Kramer Barnes was the victim of
an unlucky freak play. Putnam
threw a high inside fast one that
was intended to dust off the Web
foot outfield flash. As Barnes
ducked, his bat got in the way of
the ball, a looping infield fly re
sulting.
After Washington scored once
on Brown’s double, followed by
Sullivan’s walk and Harnett’s sin
gle, Oregon came back in their
half of the second with two more
tallies. Johnny Londahl drove - a
hard liner to left for a nice single.
Shaneman poked the ball to the
Husky second sacker, who tossed
to Heaman, the shortstop, for
what should have been an easy
force-out. Heaman was crossed
up somehow and dropped the ball,
letting both runners reach the re
spective bags.
Huskies Tie Count
Dave Bloom then nicked Put
nam for a ground single that took
a bad hop over Nelson’s head.
Both runners romped home while
Dave took second on the throw-in.
The rally ended abruptly as Potter
whiffed and King grounded to
short.
Washington came right back in

Senior Fountain Ansivers
To Warm Call of Spring
__ *
Water Spurts Oner More
A fter Hibernating
Through Winter
Anyone passing along the path
between the old library and Deady
hall might have glanced at the
Senior fountain close by at al
most any time during the last two
days, and seen a thin stream of
water shoQting from its mouth to
glisten in the sunlight a moment,
and fall back into the pool sur
rounding the fountain proper.
Dedicated to the University 18
years ago by the class of 1913, it
has since been accorded special
powers in the forecast of spring.
At about this season each year,
when indications of spring have
manifested themselves in sundry
ways on the campus, the fountain
is again brought into prominence
by being allowed to run for a
short time at irregular intervals
as a constant reminder of the
sentiment of the class of 1913.
During the winter months it lies
in a state of apparent discard and
ruin, but let the first signs of
spring show themselves—warm,
sunny weather, blossoming flow
ers, fair co-eds bedecked in bright
spring sport clothes — and the
fountain takes on a new aspect,
and bubbles forth in an effort to
fill its place in the beauty scheme
of the Oregon campus.
Water Carnival

Canoe*, Swimming Races
Featured; No Charge
For Admission
Down on the old mill-race, be

no admission charge and a large
crowd is expected to attend, ac
cording to Jack Rollwage, chair
man of the event.
The carnival will be composed
of canoe and swimming races, with
exhibitions of swimming and div
ing arranged for features. The
canoe race, first event on the pro
gram, will be a contest by 20 ca
noes, each one manned by a rep
resentative from one men’s and
one women’s living organization.
The races will be against time,
the canoes being started three
minutes apart.
The men’s and women’s swim
ming races will begin at 11:30.
Cups have been offered the win
ners. The Eugene Fruit Growers'
association and Smartt’s Jewelry
store have offered silver cups for
the men’s and women’s living or
ganizations taking first prize in
the canoe race.

Says Cherry
Substantial discounts in many of
the expenses of traveling, both in
this country and abroad, are avail
able, to all members of the National
Student Federation of America, an
organization of which every Ore
gon student is a member, George
Iherry, president of the A. S. U. O.,
revealed recently.
In addition to the annual sum
mer excursions made by student
groups to the various European
countries, for which special low
rates are made, each individual
member of the N. S. F. A. is en
titled to reductions in prices when
traveling in either the United
States or Europe, Cherry said.
Quoting from the current circular
of the federation:
“Holders of , the International
Student Identity card (students
registered in accredited higher in
stitutions) are entitled to reduc
tions on transportation and com
modities here and abroad, including
the following: visas for 13 Euro
pean countries, hotels and restau

of the federation in New York, on
payment of a small fee.

Canoe Fete by the board of judges,
composed of Dean Hazel P.
Schwering, Mrs. Ottilie Turnbull

Honorable mention was awarded
to “The Pearl of the Sea,” entered
by Alpha Omicron Pi and Kappa
Sigma.
Dorothy York and Joan Patter
son designed the winning float.
The float represented a . huge
white polar bear upon an iceberg.
The full title was “The Silver
ICing, from East of the Sun and
West of the Moon.” Donald Mc
Call was in charge of construction,
and Marie Meyers was the rider.
Winner Is Big Favorite
Walt Evans announced that
every float received nomination
for honorable mention. “The Sil

ments on this year’s fete will be
made public sometime next week.
The staging of the fete was
especially commended by all of the
judges, and the music and lighting
were considered satisfactory.
Last year the Tri-Delts, paired
with Sigma Pi Tau, won first prize
for their float “Trailokya-Vijayo.”
“The Pearl of the Sea,” the float
which won honorable mention, was
designed by Amy Porter, Dorothy
