OSTERHOLM .T2 Saturday, February 26, 1910 The Schumann-Heink Concert It is nut often that the citizens ami students of Eugene are privileged to hear a truly great artist, but last even ing, in the Eugene Theatre, fully eighty live per cent of the students and a large number of townspeople heard such an artist. Madam Schumann-Heink was there in all her glory, and she clearly dem onstrated that she is still the great singer that has for years delighted the people of America and Europe in grand opera and concert, it was noticeable to those sitting in the front of the house that the Madam was suffering from a cold, for frequently a slight huskiness would appear in a long sustained note. However, she has such perfect placing of her tones that the cold did not ser iously affect her voice. Her tones va ried from soft, Hute-like notes to huge deep, mellow tones which made the theatre ring with their richness and power. Those who saw Shumann-Heink now know why the American people love her. She has a wonderful personality and when she smiles the audience is ■ imply carried away—she is irresist >le. On entering the theatre last even g she walked up to Dudley Clarke, '•ho occupies the position of stage mana ,'t r, shook hands with him and said: .ood evening. I am Shumann Heink. How are you?" After the first number she stepped off the stage she said to bi n: “How you like ’em?” “Dud.” re )1 d: “Oh, it's fine,” and she latighing 1. uiswered, “Of course you have to say so.” i lie Madam has eight children at I ne and they say that she loves them ml delights to darn their stockings. Wc don’t doubt it, she has a heart big enough to love the whole world, and the people of two continents love, her. I lly 1500 people crowded into the the-tre to hear this great singer and II \ gave, her many long and loud ova i o:is I he concert was a success from r\vi v standpoint and the pormoters of ii I mild feel proud of their efforts. It is lo lie hoped they will give us other ts tiki- it in the future. \V, rk.

Let the irishman get out and work and there need be no fear of lack of material. The way Captain Stine and his men got together last Wednesday night ought to silence those who stay away from basketball games because the team can’t win. “Bill’ is turning out to be a first class coach, and with a little more time will have a team that can hold its own with the best. Every student should he behind them next Thursday night. It is seldom that the students have an opportunity to hear their represent ative in one of the big oratorical con tests after his oration is in its final form. The chance should not be missed next Friday night. Dr. Oliver says we don’t know a joke. O, yes we do. We thought his whole sermon was a joke; but we didn’t think he had sense enough to know it. CHANGE FOR STUDENTS TO HEAR STAR ORATOR Students and friends of the Univer sity will have an opportunity to hear llarold J. Rounds, Oregon’s intercol legiate orator, deliver the oration upon which she is pinning her hopes of vic tory at Salem next month, in Villard Mali next Friday night at the inter collegiate jtryout. Rounds has com pletely rewritten his former oration, under the guidance of Professor Glen and Coach Buchcn, and it is expected that on the merits of it he will also win the honor of representing Oregon in tlie interstate contest. I he other men who are trying out have by no means conceded him this latter victory however, and he will be compelled to light hard for i.t The other contestants are three members of the senior class and one sophomore. For some of the seniors it will proba bly be their last appearance before a University audience. Rounds still retains as his subject, “The Spirit of Patriotism.” R. H. Wil liams, the man who won second place in the intercollegiate tryout, and who represented Oregon at Moscow, Idaho, hist year in the interstate contest, will deliver his oration under the heading, “The Query of Life.” A. M. Geary, though a senior, is mak ing his first appearance as a college orator. He will speak on “Commer cialized Press and Public Opinion,” and will attack the methods of the modern newspaper. Leon Ray, the only under classman trying out, will speak on Private vs. Public Liberty,” and will contend that the corporation has ena bled the former to monopolize the lat ter. Professor I. M. Glen has consented to give another recital by the School of Music in connection with the tryout. Ibis will enable Manager Steele to charge an admission of twenty-five cents for the evening’s entertainment. NEW ARMORY FINISHED AND ACCEPTED AT O. A. C. O V C., b'cb. 23—The new armory has been accepted by the Hoard of Re gents. It is complete except for a few : minor details. The short course students of this year contributed $llb toward buying new books for the college library. This fund is in the hands of a committee who are to purchase the desired books. It is the hope of the short course stu dents that the following classes will continue to add to this fund. I he women of the University of Cal ifornia have {organized an orchestra.

FIRST TRYOUT TO BE TUESDAY AFTERNOON Because the Choral Club meets in Villard 11all on Tuesday evening, the ' time of the first tryout for the co-ed. 1 debating team has been changed from ' 7 :00 to 4 :00 o'clock. It is not known how many intend 1 to tryout for the women’s team, but the 1 members of the Eutaxian Society are doing their best to instill interest in 1 the event. They feel that the future of 1 eo-e.d. debating is at stake, and will get everyone they can “in the game.” Sixty young women turned out for rowing practice the first day at the Uni- 1 versify of Washington. ' _ t A massive six-storv men’s dormito ry is about to be erected at the Uni versitx of California.

Each floor, besides having Ax private baths, will have six public baths and six showers, one of the latter being especially equipped for disciplining Freshmen. 1 The dormitory will also contain many i other conveniences. 1 THE C.

The teams have been working inde lendently of each other, and neither mows what arguments the other is penalizing on. They will meet next veek in a practice debate to try the trength of their arguments, and after hat the coach will bring them together u three such debates each week until he final contest. Columbia has an endowment fund of CS.500,000. the largest of any school in he country. Leland Stanford is second sitlt $24,000,000, and then follow Har vard, Chicago, Yale, Cornell and Penn ylvania.

SENIOR PH WILL BE GIN ON APRIL 2ND 1 he date for the senior play has been definitely fixed for Saturday even ing, April 2nd. Manager Terry has closed the contract with the Eugene I heatre for that time and has complet ed all arrangements necessary. In a short time he will open the sale of boxes. Professor Glen, the director, is work ing with the cast, but as there are still some undecided places, he does not wish to give out the names. As the rehears als take improved form, those in charge are becoming more confident than ever that this year’s will be by far the best Senior Play in the history of the Uni versity. I he University of Utah has adopted the "one year" rule in regard to ath letics, thus prohibiting Freshmen and students from other colleges from tak ing part in college acitvities until they heva been enroleld one year as regular students. Ibis action puts Utah upon a par wtili Colorado schools, and per mits contests with them.
