But there is doubt. I wo years ago a similar festival was given, and, though it was expected that every student and most of the towns people would attend, the management suffered a loss of about $150. A cheap comic opera playing in Eugene at the same time is said to have drawn heavily on the student body. Must this be the case always? I he coining festival is an immense un dertaking. The chorus numbers about 125 voices. The orchestra of 26 pieces is made up largely of professional mu sicians, and the four soloists are among the best to be found in Oregon. I he Bettman-Klinginburg trio is rated as the peer of its kind in the West, and the chorals to be sung, while standard, are tuneful and can be appreciated by everyone. I he question which naturally arises is, I to the students really want a choral ocirty and a festival given by it each year, and will they support it?” The ociety was organized for the benefit of students desiring work in music, and the festival is given as an incentive for work on the part of the members of the society and as a musical treat to the stu dent body. If a financial success this year, it will be repeated next year. If not, many a year will go by before such a thing is attempted again by the music lovers of the University. \ festival of this sort is certainly worth while, and can do much to edu cate the tastes of the students and the people of Eugene for good music. The management, the chorus, and the ladies of the Y. \Y. C. A., who are working hard to make a surplus in the finances to apply to their bungalow fund, all ask for the support of the entire student body and desire to impress upon each student his duty to support this activity with the same spirit he supports foot ball and the other student enterprises. Baseball for women has been added to the list of approved sports at Colum bia University I lie game will be play ed by the girls of Barnard College on a diamond of regulation dimensions, I with regulation bats, mits and other ac cessories The only change in rules for j the feminine players will be to increase j the weight of the ball so as to prevent overhand throwing and to forbid the stealing of bases, "Singing on the steps.” The custom of the seniors at Princeton during the last three months of college will com mence next Saturday evening. Indoor baseball for women has been started at the University of Minnesota, j ARCHITECTURE MAT 6E SEPARATE DEPARTMENT Professor Adams Will Probably Have Charge of New Depart ment Next Year Architecture will probably rank as a separate department of engineering next year, instead of as a branch of civil engineering. Professor Percy P. Adams, now assistant in civil engineering, will be at the head of the new department, and students will major directly under him. This division is being considered in or der to accommodate those students who are specializing in drawing and archi tecture, but who do not desire to take all the work in civil engineering. It is said that two of this year’s seniors would have preferred such a course had it been available. One of them, Wilfred Wat tenberg, wrote his thesis under Professor Adams as it was. Professor Adams has not made any announcement of what the requirements of the course will be should it be given, but besides the regular work in drawing and architecture, he will probably re quire all the engineering mathematics, including structural mechanics. Ele mentary surveying, masonry and rein forced concrete will also probably be required. A course in roof trusses, which Professor Adams is now teaching, will take the place of stresses and bridge design. ILLINOIS WOULD MEET OREGON ON THE TRACK Far Eastern University Wants •to See Western Men in Actual Competition \11 invitation lias liven received by Trainer Hayward to a dual track and field meet with the University of Illi nois. to lie held on their home campus on June 4th. The imitation states that the Eastern institution Inis been watching the show ing made by the Oregon track teams during the past few years, and being satisfied that good athletes tire being turned out tit Oregon, they desire to see representatives of the W est and Middle West in actual competitian.

GIRLS HOLD RECOGNITION MEETING \ recognition meeting for the new members was held tit Y. \\ . (. V last Monday afternoon. \fter a solo by b'.d ith Prescott, the address of welcome was read, which Mrs. Stafford was to have given, but from which she was pre vented b\ sickness. She told the girls that the question which they needed to put to themselves on entering the as sociation was. "What can I do to help:" and that there was need for college trained girls in association work -that splendid, practical work for girls of all kinds. Professor Terrill of the city Y. M. C. A. then spoke, and gave both an in teresting and inspiring talk, telling the girls to pass on to others in this world what the world has given to you— courage, good cheer, unselfishness." there was a good attendance at the meeting and prospects are bright for the remainder of the year.
