NUMBER 126
Seniors Will Decide
On Endowment Plan
At Meeting Tonight
Special Committee Will Explain
Idea; Speaker to Give Instructions
On Graduating Exercises
Tonight tells the story for the senior endowment project, brain
child of the class of ’39. Tonight at 7:30 the seniors will gather in
Villard to either adopt or reject the plan which a special committee has
been working on for two weeks. The meeting was announced by Harriet
Sarazin, president of the class.
It will be a double purpose meeting, for the seniors will also hear

UO Honor
Company
Marches
One Drill Hour
Remains as Day
Of Governor's
Competition Nears
Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys
are matching!
It takes intense drill, plenty of
marching, to produce a good com
petitive drill company. And that
is just what the University ROTC
honor company has been doing for
the past term as they prepared
for the Governor’s Day competition
to be held next Friday at Corvallis.
The boys of the honor company
have only one more drill hour be
fore the big show is scheduled to
go on. The preparation is over, the
act is ready.
The reward for victory in the
competition, in which picked com
panies from Oregon and Oregon
State will compete, is the Gov
ernor’s trophy which will be award
ed to the winning school each
year to be held by that school as
long as they remain victorious.
Last year the company from Ore
gon State won the trophy.
Another feature of the meet is
the individual competition. Five
men are selected from each school
to compete. Three individual
awards are granted. Last year the
Oregon squad won two out of three
of the individual events.
Members of the honor company
will assemble at the barracks at
12:30 Friday. Busses will be pro
vided to transport the “soldiers”
to Corvallis.
'Hoomalimali'
Word Brings
Hasty Party
By MIRIAM HALE
Two members of the Stanford
debate team while visiting the Uni
versity of Hawaii decided to at
tend a class in Hawaiian language
to find out how to pronounce
"hoomalimali”—a quaint word that
had come up in one of their pre
vious debates.
They were received in true Ha
waiian style by the professor and
students who were only too will
ing to take time off from Hawai
ian verbs and prepositions to dem
onstrate the gentle art of song
and dance.
Boys of the class furnished mu
sic for the girls to dance several
hulas, and the professor sang
"Beautiful Kahana.” Then came
the debaters’ turn to perform. To
the strong urging of the class one
of the boys replied, "I can’t. I
won’t. And besides, my heart be
longs to Daddy!”

With their plan all worked out
and armed with reams of facts the
senior memorial committee will do
the honors for their foundling
scheme, explaining the workings of
the system and reporting what
they found in the course of their
investigation.
Yesterday the committee ironed
out the last wrinkle, the benefi
ciary clause, when they figured out
a suggestion to the effect that the
proceeds be left in trust until the
25th anniversary of the class. At
that anniversary, representatives

pose the endowment fund would
be put. This was the recommenda
tion of the committee which will
be presented at tonight’s meeting
along with the other aspects of the j
plan.
New words to describe the type
of thing they are working for were
being used by the committee last
night in great profusion. They de
clared they were setting up a dy
namic memorial, not a static one
like senior benches, which get
painted green, and other dust
gatherers. They reported increas
ingly favorable response from the
seniors toward the memorial pro
ject.
Probably the final class meeting
for the graduating seniors, to
night’s session will also be the
most crucial in the history of the

by way of memorial gifts to the
University is one which has
plagued every graduating class j
through the years. This class, set

CLARK GIVES FINAL
The last of the talks on Oregon
history heard during the past year
over KOAC at 11:15 each Wednes
day morning was given yesterday
morning by Dr. R. C. Clark, head
of the history department. Dr.
Clark, who with members of his
staff has kept the program, going,
spoke on “Early Oregon Railroads
and Railroad Builders.’’
Science Does It
All—Workers
Have It Soft
Truly, science has changed
the lot of the workingman. Not
so many years ago, when a hod
carrier had to get a hod on the
third floor of a building he car
ried it up a flight of stairs or
even a ladder with the hod on
his back.
Now, that is past. The cement,
which is being poured into the
forms in building Chapman hall,
is carried up in wheelbarrows, on
a motor-powered elevator.
Yes, science really changes ev
everything. Why even the wheel
barrows have balloon tires!
Symphonic
Concert Set
For 4 Today
Top Musicians to
Play on Recorded
Program
A recorded symphonic concert of
classical compositions, played and
conducted by some of the most
outstanding musicians in the Uni
ted States today, will be presented
free of charge to University stu
dents and Eugene residents today
at 4 o’clock in Gerlinger hall.
Sponsored by the University
school of music, the program will
include the first local playings of
recordings of Debussy’s "After
noon of a Faun” and “Festivals,”
the fifth symphony of Beethoven,
Schubert’s Symphony No. 8, or
"Unfinished” symphony, and
Bach’s Brandenburg concertos No.
2 and 3,
These masterpieces, along with
Mozart’s symphony No. 40 in G
minor, Wagner’s preludes to “Par
sifal” and “ Die Meistersinger,”
Tschaikowsky’s fourth symphony
in F minor, Cesar Franck’s D min
or symphony, Haydn’s symphony
No. 99 in E flat major, and Tschai
kowsky’s symphony No. 4 in F
minor were selected by the nation
ally known music critic and com
mentator, Samuel Chotzinoff, as
outstanding great symphonic com
positions. They are being made
available through a music appre
ciation plan by the Oregon Journal
of Portland.
Of his selections which were
made into recordings that have
won the acclaim of music authori
ties throughout the state and na
tion, Chotzinoff says that he “put
the largest construction on the
word ‘masterpiece.’ A masterpiece
was then a composition which had
survived the test of a reasonable
number of years and had at the
same time become a staple of my
own musical diet.”
Army Quizzes

Daily Plans 'Open House’
For Last Issue Tonight
Tonight the Emerald is yours!
It’ll be “open house” for Emerald readers tonight at the journal
ism shack, when the paper's 1938 staff makes its final bow by in
viting interested Webfoots to an authentic demonstration of how
an all-American college daily goes to press.
A special brigade of staff members headed by Emerald Editor
Paul Deutschmann will act as hosts for the evening, showing guests
the procedure that a story goes through in getting from the tip
box in the news room to the press room across the street from the
shack.
Beginning at 8 o'clock, campus fans of the Oregon daily that
has won nation-wide fame will be welcomed by the editorial staff
and Sigma Delta Chi and Theta Sigma Phi prexies. Business staff
members will also be on hand to show visitors procedures for handl
ing ad layouts and advertising management.
Occasion for the special “open house" feature will be the pub
lishing of the last regular edition of the year. Tomorrow night fresh
men will officially lock the editor and managing editor offices
when they climax the year with the frosh edition, last of three
special papers published this term. One edition headed by Emerald
women workers and one by men staff members have preceded the
frosh paper, scheduled to be a six-page full-size edition.
Interesting subjects of study for tonight’s official tour, accord
ing to Deutschmann, will be an explained demonstration of how a
linotype works, observing students setting headlines in type, ex
planation of how a copy desk is operated, glimpses of the work of
an editor and sports writing systems.
The “open house” idea, new this year, originated when three
“shack" visitors last week became so interested in the workings of
the Emerald that they suggested that there were many others on
the campus who would “jump at the chance” to see the staff at
work.

Gardenia Sales
Set New Record
At the only halfway mark in
pre-Mortar Board ball boutoniere
sales last night, Frances Baily,
AWS sale chairman, reported
nearly 50 per cent of Greek-affil
iated girls on the campus had
pledged the price of the traditional
white gardenia for their Saturday
night guests.
Although no check had been ob
tained in independent organiza
tions, a booming first day sale in
dicated one of the biggest gar
denia sales in Mortar Board his
tory, Miss Baily said.
Biggest single first day record
was chalked up to the Kappa
salesman, who had 25 piggers
“signed on the line” for bouton
ieres last night. Several other
girls’ houses closely followed. This
afternoon the two-day sale will
close with a meeting at the Col
lege Side at 4 o’clock of gardenia
representatives.
Bob Swan, who is working with
Ruth Ketchum, ball chairman, in
transforming the Igloo into a sym
phony of black and gold for the
dance, last night was completing
the mural-like panels he is using
to depict scenes from senior activ
ities on McArthur court walls. The
full color panels will be inter
spersed with full length drapes of
black and gold, Mortar Board col
ors.
Tickets are priced at $1 for each

Cougars Trounce
Oregon Baseballers,
9-1; Ducks Hold Lead
Bob Creighton Blasted for Fourteen
Hits; OSC Tripped Up by Washington
Huskies, 5 to 3; Mullen Leads Hitters
WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE, Pullman, May 17— (Special to
the Emerald)—Oregon's win streak which had reached six straight
hit a snag here today as Boh Kinneman, veteran righthander, hurled
Washington State’s Cougars to a 9 to 1 victory over the Duck baseball
team from the Willamette valley.
The Cougar win failed to loosen the Webfoot's grip on first place
in the conference standings, however, as Washington's Huskies defeated
Oregon State, 5 to 3 at Seattle.
Oregon leads with nine wins and
four defeats, and Oregon State oc
cupies second place with eight tri
umphs and five setbacks.
Blast Creighton
In stopping the Webfoots for
the first time since they began
their current road trip through
the Northwest, Kinnaman pitched
masterful ball, yielding only four
hits while his mates were banging
Burly Bob Creighton, ace right
hander, for 14.
Creighton pitched the whole dis
tance, striking out three men. And
for the first four frames he made
it a tight duel, checking Washing
ton State easily. The Cougars be
gan finding the range in the fifth,
however, and from there on in
scored in every inning. They picked
up two in the fifth, two in the
sixth, three in the seventh, and
two in the eighth.
Smooth Fielding
Sparkling fieldnig by the Cou
gar infield aided Kinnaman in the
clutches. The combination of Ray
Mahnkey, Veern Butts, Bob Em
erson, and Dosskey turned in four
double plays in their innings afield.
Ford Mullen, Duck captain,
smashed out two of the Webfoots
four blows. Whiz White and Pitch
er Creighton got the other two.
Oregon’s only run came in the
seventh when Mullen doubled, ad
vanced to third on Bush Smith’s
infield out, and scored on Wimp
Quinn’s ground ball to short.
* Two in Fifth
Washington State’s two runs in
the fifth came on a double by A1
Hooper, singles by Mahnkey and
Joe Angelo, and a sacrifice fly by
Emerson.

New Rule
Governs
Rushing
Panhellenic Ousts
'Hotboxing' of
Coed Rushees
Clamping down on the present
Oregon sorority custom of “hot
boxing” rushees to plead member
ship in girls’ organizations here,
the University Panhellenic govern
ing body yesterday voted to strenu
ously enforce their new ruling for
bidding any type of bidding except
through the dean of women’s
office.
Heretofore no rules have been
made concerning bidding, with in
vitations to membership usually
given Orally the night of the pref
erence dinner. Next fall, Panhel
lenic will see that no girl is asked
to pledge except by written form
sent through Mrs. Schwering’s
office.
Formulating1 a complete rushing
schedule for next fall, the sorority
group established a definite pre
freshman week schedule designed
only for Greek activities. The rush
ing will begin on a Friday even
ing with open house in all living
organizations, and continue until
the following Tuesday when pledge
banquets are scheduled.
A complete summer rushing
schedule was formulated by the
house presidents, rushing chair
men, and alum advisers of each
sorority attending. Present plans
indicate a short rushing period
from June 5 to 20, followed by a
later rushing season from August
15 to September 2. Janet Goresky
and Patsy Taylor, both of Port
land, were appointed chairmen of
a tea for prospective freshmen to
be held some time this summer.
Aurelia W. o 1 c o 11, Panhellenic
president, discussed with council
members plans for revising the
sorority handbook sent to all
rushees late this summer designed
to acquaint them with rushing
regulations, obligations incurred in
pledging a house, and the Univer
sity itself.
