“MD CM” 10 m M tdlffl Theo Karl Johnston and Albert Gil lette to Sing at Rex Theater Wednesday Evening By Edison Marshall. Theo Karl Johnston, who is knowr as the “Second Caruso,” and whc has in one year achieved a place among the greatest tenors of the world, and Albert Gillette, of the Uni versity of Oregon, will appear on the program of a cantata at the Rex The ater Wednesday evening. The occa aion is a concert by the Philharmonii Society, many of the members ol which are University people. One hundred voices, directed bj Professor Lyman, assisted by the Uni versity Orchestra, and headed bj Johnston, whose voice many author! ties claim to be one in a generation will produce '‘Hiawatha’s Weddinj Feast,” by Coleridge-Taylor. This will occupy about half the evening. “The music of this is wonderful,’ said Professor Lyman. “It has i touch of the barbaric, but of utmost sweetness and beauty. The words art taken from Longfellow's Hiawatha.’ But the other half of the evening contains some rare opportunities foi the music lover. Johnston sings tht Aria fro La Gioconda—called th< greatest tenor solo in the world ol music. The Blue Danube waltzes, bj Straus, will also constitute part ol the program. “This is a great opportunity foi us,” said Professor Lyman. “The con cert is one of real quality, and the mu sic, though of a classical nature, wil appeal to everyone. The curtail goes up at 8:15, and the charge i: 35 cents to $1.00.” K. IC.». PUIIS TRIPS Acting With Y. W. C. A., Will Con duct Extension Tour to South ern Oregon Towns During spring vacation, the Y. M C. A., in conjunction with the Y. W C. A., will conduct an extension trip to Southern Oregon, to include Ash land, Medford aud Grants Pass. Leav ing Friday night and returning the second Monday, three days will be spent in each town. The extension team will probably be composed of eight members, Miss Mary Gillies, of the Y. W. C. A., and some other member of that organiza tion, Charles Koyl, who will lead the trip, Martin Nelson, Harold Ham street, C. B. Corbitt and Douglas Cor pron. The program will be in general the same as that followed in the recent successful trip to Cottage Grove and will include hikes, mixes, receptions, personal interviews and mass meet ings of the Young People’s Christian Societies. The purpose of the trip is to help young men in their endeavors to live an upright life. Another trip will be taken to Junc tion the first week in April. The same team will go, with perhaps the ad dition of a few more members. Three men will go to Pleasant Hill in the interests of the Y. M. C. A. the last of the month. ORCHESTRA CONCERT AT HARRISBURG IS SlfCCESS The orchestra concert at Harris burg was a big success. The mem bers were warmly welcomed and en tertained. A return engagement was urged for next year, if not sooner. A request has come from Creswell for a concert early next month, and the Orchestra will meet the engage ment as soon as possible. One of the promoters of the Rose Festival in Portland has sent word to Mr. Lyman that the Women’s Gle1 Club give give a one-hour concert as an attraction at the Festival on June 10th. Mr. Lyman says that the trip is possible, and already preparations are being made. The University Library is anxious to secure two copies of the Oregon Monthly for December, 1912, Vol. 16, No. 2. Any persons having copies that they can spare are requested to leave them at the Library’. Let Emerald advertisers get thi benefit of your money. MARY HII (MB •> r r Kansas City Star Thinks Lecturer Is ImpnAieal, but Hails Her As 1 Apostle of democracy The Kansas City Star editorially reviews the significance of Mary An tin’s recent visit and lectures in Kan sas City, Missouri, as follows: “It is quite worth while for a com munity to get acquainted with such an interesting and earnest personali ty as Mary Antin, who came to Kan sas City as the guest of the Knife and Fork Club. Like another young woman who recently visited the city, Helen Keller, she has a message. She belongs to the order of prophets who cry out with the apostle, “Woe is unto me if I preach not the Gospel.” “Her ideal of democracy is stimu lating, if not wholly convincing as a practical program. It is a thrilling plea that she makes for the open door for the immigrants. Only a singu larly callous person could fail to be moved by her picture of the women of the Russian ghettos wringing their hands over the report that America, the promised land, might be closed to them. “Certainly the fact* she brought out so vividly should be kept in mind in the drafting of any restrictive leg islation. Certainly no legislation should be so drafted as to close the doers to persons persecuted for polit ical or religious beliefs. “Unhappily legislative programs cannot always be framed in accord ance with general laws. Human na ture has to fall back on the practical 1 test of how a thing works in the long run, and it has to enact its legisla tion with that test constantly in mind. 1 But when such programs are being | formulated it is always well to have the admonition of the prophet to keep ideals constantly in the foreground.” Y.W.G.IL PUIS CLUBS FOR GIRLS’ MS Class Meets Weekly and Members Outline Summer Work in Small Towns A new departure in social service work is being taken up by the Y. W. C. A. in the form of an “Eight Weeks Club” class for University girls liv ing in small towns, who wish to help other girls. It is so called because the work is to be carried on during the eight weeks of the summer vaca tion. A class is to be formed now for those who desire to take up this work and wish to learn how to establish and carry on these clubs in their home towns. This class will meet once a week for an hour, either at the Bungulow or some other suita ble place. Miss Agnes Dunlap ad ! dressed the meeting Tuesday after j noon at the Bungalow and told the j girls what has been done along this j line in other places. All those who are interested in so j eial service work or who wish to en i roll in this class are urged to attend. | COMMITTEE WILL AUDIT Y. M. C. A. BOOKS MONDAY ,o o J-a The books of the University Y. M. C? A. will be audited Monday by a committee consisting of Fred G. Stickles, a Eugene business man. now a candidate for the office of City Treasurer, Cloyd Dawson, Wayne Sta ter and Leslie Tooze. Results of the auditing will be pub lished by the committee showing the financial condition of the Association. About $130 has been disbursed this year. Professor DeOou and Curtis Gard ner are conducting the Y. M. C. A. finance campaign among Eugene friends of the Association. They j think that they will be able to raise; $500, the amount necessary to com-' plete the budget of $2,300, by the be- j j ginning of spring vacation. Military training has been offered to the students at Princeton, to begin j after the Easter holidays. This course, is entirely elective. i Step* Being Taken to Provide New Headquarters Necessitated by >; •’*' Growth- of' Institution ..._i—U ., With the vrowth of the University Y. M.C. A., tM need’for larger quar ters, according to Charles Koyl, it becoming Imperative. The matter has been 'presented to Preesidenl Campbell and several locations are being considered. There may be space in the new Ad ministration Building, but in the event that the Department of Journalism is removed to the new building the room in the basement of McClure will make ideal quarters. It is the intention to make this new location headquarters for all Univer sity men. Plenty of reading mattei and probably some amusements will be nrovided. MEDFORD AND BANDON WILL . DEBATE IN VILLARD MONDAY Debating teams from Medford and Bandon High Schools will hold forth in Villard Hall Monday night at 8:00 o’clock, on >the subject,/‘Resolved, that the United States Government should own and operate all interstate rail ways with connecting intrastate lines, constitutionality being waived.” Three boys on the Medford team have cleaned up all Southern Oregon teams and Bandon is the winner of the Coos Bay district.
