Zeb, Zeke, Zachary Swear to Crash Canoe Fete Although the campus Is buzzing with rumors and amateur sleuths have suggested several solutions, the mystery of the three coots from the hills, Zeke, Zeb, and Zach ary has not been solved to date. Tuesday night a brick was tossed through the Emerald editor's win dow with a message to the editor wrapped around it. This message said that the bearded triumvirate has something to offer the Canoe Fete committee and that their of fer had been spurned. They add ed that the committee was going to have to take it and like it. Yesterday morning the commit tee replied to the letter in definite terms stating they knew nothing of these three birds and declaring themselves innocent of any unfair ness in the matter. In this mis Hive the committee referred to the three coots as the three coots and in other terms. Last night the editor received a special delivery letter in a purple envelope. The letter was post marked from a little town in southern Washington and read: To the Editor of the Emerald (cuss all his descendants): So we’re coots, eh ? Don’t you nor anyone else go a’eallin’ us coots coots. We'll hev none of ye we’ll hev ye know. We’ll get a chancet to feature fer this here Junior weekend.

Representatives from the living organizations have started working on their floats, building them from canvas, paper, and old boards beside the millrace preparatory to their one flight be fore mothers, students, and the queen’s royal court. A new platform has been com pleted for the court and is made in the shape of a musical note, fur ther carrying out the motif of the evening. Scats for the outstanding affair of the Weekend have been selling heavily since they were put on sale last Saturday. Only a few more seats remain, it is said. Mothers Banquet at 5:30 Prior to the fete, the Mother’3 day banquet will be held in John Straub Memorial hall beginning at 5:30 p. m. Mabel Holmes Parsons, Oregon author, has been chosen as the principal speaker of the eve ning. Five hundred places will be laid for mothers and their sons and daughters, Virginia Endicott, who is in charge of the banquet, said last night. The banquet is scheduled earlier this year to allow plenty of time between that affair and the canoe fete. On Saturday morning, when mothers are holding their executive committee breakfast and discuss ing the business of the Oregon Mothers’ organization, students will frolic along the bank of the millrace. At 9:30 freshman and sopho more men will continue their an nual hostilities in their tug-of-war. The scene for this warfare has been changed to the portion of the millrace below the Anchorage where such activity has been car ried on in previous years. Although the first plans made limited the number of men to be entered in the war to 50, the ban has been lifted and all eligible men will be allowed to enter. The freshmen will protect the north side of the race with sopho more men maintaining their status quo on the opposite side Saturday morning. Immediately following the tug of-war, swimming and other wa ter sports will take place in the water carnival which is set for 10:30 in front of the Anchorage. Mary McCracken and Jean Steven, son, members of Amphibian, have issued a challenge to a log-rolling contest which is to be included in the carnival. The art museum will be opened from 3 until 5 o’clock for a special showing of the exhibits there. The remainder of the day, which in cludes noon luncheon, will be spent with sons and daughters.
