more prominent place in the com
mencement wek program of Wil
lamette university than it has for
some time. The date has ben set
tor June 19. The first big event
will be thes tudent lunch on the

will be a real jolly, all-school get
together. At two o'clock the program of
class stunts will begin, probably
In front of Eaton ball. The various
cuasses are vieing in producing
masterpieces of originality and fun
which ought to amuse even the

left open for the renewing of old
acquaintances and inspection of
the campus by the alumni and visi

In the evening thes enior class

years ago of putting on a play.
The production will not be an el
aborate one, but a very interesting
one-act drama will be staged as a
farewell effort of the class of '21.
The name of the play and the cast
of characters have not been divul
ged, but those who attend will not
be disappointed.
The graduating class is desirous
that all the students who can do
so remain for commencement and
help make class day the success
that it should be.

Can a mother's love offset the brand of Illegitimacy wnicn sne ue.
self has placed upon her child? The anbwer to this all-human-interest
question is being sought by many in California and othenparts of the
country, following the action of Mrs. Mamie del Secco of San Fran
cisco, who denies that her former husband, Julian Sorine, is the
father of her boy. Mr. Sorine is suing for the custody of the boy,
Eugene, whom he claims as his own son. Mrs. uei
Sorine Is not the father of her boy. The case has aroused a great
deal of interest and it has been suggested that the ur. Aioer.. u.am
blood test be made and sculptor's measurements taken to determine
scientifically little Eugene's parentage.
