Karl Johnson Shows Ambition and Musical Genius By J. J. L. The concert last evening by the Eu gene Philharmonic Society was an event of more than usual interest. It was clearly demonstrated that we have the material and the leadership ^ necessary to produce work of a high order in a way which commands re spect and interest aside from the per sonal element involved. Eugene needs a permanent organization of this kind and happily the size and temper of last night’s audience insures this. The first part of the program was given over to the University Orches tra, underthe leadership of Miss Winifred Forbes, and Mr. Theo. Karl Johnson, the young Seattle tenor whose work is attracting attention in the musical world. It is safe to say that few realize the difficulties in the way of assem bling and training an orchestra in the ordinary University town. The re sults achieved by Miss Forbes lead me to say that we yould do ourselves honor were we to show a thorough appreciation of our orchestra. Very conservatively speaking, the ^ University Orchestra is a distinct credit to the University and to Eu gene. Miss Forbes deserves unstinted praise. Of Mr. Johnston’s singing, little need be said. We were led to expect much, and we were not disappointed. Although but a young man, he is, nev ertheless, an artist. He has a beauti. ful voice and his interpretations are pre-eminently wholesome and satis fying. There is ambition in every tone—an ambition which you catch and share—yet an ambition totally free from conceit and mannerism. With his superb voice, his winning personality and undoubted musical genius, it is to be expected that he will attain a high place in the realm of music. me major portion oi une evening ^ was given over to the chorus work— “Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast.” The cantata made a powerful appeal to the* audience. The composer of “Hiawatha’s Wed ding Feast” has very cleverly intro duced characteristic Indian effects which give color to the poem. The work of Miss Davis at the piano de serves special mention. Her accom paniments were genuinely artistic and contributed in no small way to the general effect. The thanks of the public are due to Prof. Ralph H. Lyman, whose abil ity, patience and energy are respon sible for the success of the evening. The society, under his efficient direc » tion, should be a matter of pride not only to the University, but to Eugene as well, and if we continue to lend an encouraging hand, we may expect in the future to have many pleasant and profitable entertainments from them.

SPRING STIRS RHYMES IN REPORTER’S HEART Social Science Taught by Millrace More Alluring than Emerald Assignment Board By DoWitt Gilbert. Lo, this is the song of the mill race, That she sisfgV'm the Freshman's ear, As he whiles away the best of the day In spring, the queen of the year. “Come, O thou who art weary, And drift a while on my breast, And bring with you a maiden true, The girl you love the best. Then loiter an hour on my surface, That flows like a liquified dream, And write her verse that is putrid or worse, ’Bout the caverns of sunset a-gleam. And swear by the stars that drift in the sky, Ever to faithful be, But, whenever you do, never pig two From one sorority.” Thus sings the reporter in springtime, When poets bloom as the rose, Although time is short, pigging is sport, So every reporter knows.

ALUMNI AT COOS BAY KEEP TAB ON U. OF 0 CLARENCE ASH, ’14, SjftfS NO WHIT OF INTEREST IN* AL MA MATER LOST MNYIMVE BECOME BENEDICTS “Former Oregon Students st Coast All Making Good," He Says By Clarence Ash, T4. Marshfield, Or., March 28—Though Coos Bay is situated 60 miles from the railroad one way and 65 miles the other way, and two days from the Portland papers, and with the Em erald making its appearance only at intervals, the alumni of the University of Oregon have lost not one whit of their interest in the old Alma Mater. This latter point is evidenced by the fact that the results of the Ore gon-O. A. C. game we're received here almost play by play, $16 in telegraph tolls being paid here by the old stu dents that afternoon. But it is not only athletically, but in every other way that the “old-timers” are vitally concerned with all that transpires on the campus. We have even followed the travels of the whale. Practically all of the former stu dents who are now living on Coos Bay have made good and some are already in business for themselves. William S. Chandler, better known as “Weary,” ’ll, Northwest end for Oregon in ’04 and ’05, is a successful architect in Marshfield, and has long since settled down to enjoy married life. He has just completed the new $i0,000 high school gymnasium and is now working on plans for a $30, 000 business block. Also it might be mentioned that "Weary” is drawing plans for the new home of Ben Chandler, ’13, ex baseball captain in 1912, and who is married to Cecile Wilcox, ’12. Ben Chandler Jr. is a lusty youth of two months standing, showing evidences of being as good a “bawl” player as daddy. Ben is in the First National Bank of Marshfield. Dr. E. P. Morrow, a member of the football teams of the early days, was a successful physician and surgeon hereuntil last week, when he turned over his practice to another for six months and took up a contract with the American Red Cross Society and has left for the big French army hos pitals at Calais, where he will re main until September. Robert Kellogg, ’12, remembered at Oregon for his football prowess and weight throwing abilities, is married here and is a successful civil engi neer. He has just completed a con tract for the Port of Coos Bay and the City of Marshfield. Allie Grout, ’14, since graduation has been with the engineering force; of the Willamette Pacific near North Inlet and the Ten Mile district. He says that he will be out soon to "chat with the boys” and that he will make the trip by way of Portland. Claude Patee, ’14, was here for two months this winter, aiding with the installing of a new switchboard in this city and at North Bend. He hai, made it possible for subscribers to get central now without first “ring ing the bell.” There are two Oregon alumni at Bandon on the teaching force. Aleea Noreen, ’14, has the English and Latia classes. Harold Quigley, ’14, has charge of the commercial department, also being coach of the athletic and debating teams, the latter having woa the championship of Coos County. It was through his efforts that enough money was raised by private subscrip tion to build a new gymnasium after the citizens had three times voted down the necessary bonds. Clarence E. Ash, 14, is city editor of the Coos Bay Times, and has been here since tost September. WOODROWWILSONWILL m nisn n nil PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO SOJOURN IN EU GENE ON MAY 20 FACULTY MAY DECLARE HOLIDAY News Comes From Secretory Tumulty As Complete Surprise. Plsns to be Made for Entertainment Woodrow WilBon, President of the United States, will visit the Univer sity of Oregon for a few hours when he makes his Western tour next month, according to a telegram that President Campbell received late this afternoon from Secretary Tumulty. No word has reached the campus for several years that is of more in terest or surprise. When President Campbell first learned several months ago that the nation’s chief executive was to pass through Oregon on his return from the Panama-Pacific Ex position, he immediately wrote Secre tary Tumulty inviting the presiden tial party to visit the University. President Campbell is greatly sur prised and pleased over the receipt of the news of President Wilson’s vis it. “When I wrote Secretary Tumulty, I had very little hope that the Uni versity's invitation would be accept ed," said President Campbell in an in terview with an Emerald reporter shortly after tKe message came over the wires. “So many invitations to visit cities in his tour are being received by the ! President, and I confidently expected to have ours suffer the same fate as the majority of the others have suf fered. Needless te say, I am greatly pleased that the University of Ore gon is to be included in the itinerary of the President.” “No plans for Mr. Wilson’s enter tainment while in the city have been made, but the matter will be taken up at once.” Asked whether the Student Body would be given a holiday on the occa sion of the Presidest’s visit, President Campbell said that the matter would be taken up at the next faculty meet ing and that in all probability no classes would be held. In such an event, he said, the students would meet the President’s special en masse and escort him to the campus. President Wilson will leave Wash ington during the fore part of May. After spending a week at the Expo sition, he will begin his return trip, arriving in Eugene about May 20. Now look at your calendar. Y. M. C. A. CANDY STORE MAKES $11 EVERY MONTH The University Y. M. C. A. has sold $621.26 worth of confections this year. The profits, which amount to about $11 per month, we used in paying for the piano, which is kept in the as sembly room in the C. E. Building awaiting the time wh8n the Associa tion will moveto larger quarters. The typewriter kept in the Y. M. C. A. room for the convenience of students was also paid for from this source. About $30 is still to be paid on the piano, after which the proceeds from candy sales will be devoted to making up the deficit of $50 in the budget. The little candy case was estab lished by Koyl in 1912, primarily as a means of drawing men into the asso ciation office/ where they could be brought into closer touch with Y. M. C. A. work. I<ater in the year the sale of ice cream bricks will be resumed. Last year about two gallons per day was disposed of.

THETA HOUSE IS BURGLARIZED CULPRIT STILL AT URGE Sleepers Awake to Find Themselves Victimised—Local Scotland Yard Remains Baffled The court house dock had ju.it pealed forth twelve times. The Theta household, or at leaat a majority thereof, were wrapped in the arms of Morpheus. Then out of the stillness a frantic cry broke forth: “There’s a man in the house.” Pandemonium reigned in the 12th and Hilyard abode. All of the mem bers of the sorority were sleeping on the sleeping-porch. Madly they rush to their rooms on the floor be low to discover that every room had been entered and all loose jewelry taken. Finally one of the sorority members had the presence of mind to call the city police station. With their accus tomed alacrity, two members of the force were dispatched to the scene of action. Upon their arrival, a thor ough search was made for the mid night disturbers, but to no avail. Two hours later, someone awoke to the fact that they had been victimised by a practical joker, who had taken advantage of the fact that April Fool’s day begins at 12:01 A. M.

About 125 are expected to be there to hear speeches from Professors Al len and Dyment and from President Campbell. Also there will be four “stunts” and several Journalistic con tests. WERE YOU FOOLED TODAY? READ COLLINS’ CONSOLATION It may be consoling sometime to day to the man who reaches for the snatched-away purse, or eats soap sandwiches and leather bon bons as practical jokers grin with glee, to re member also at least one stanza of a poem by Dean Collins, ’10: They hail me all as the April Fool, And I am the' butt of all their jests, A graduate of the Bonehead School, Bound unto Momus’ mad behests; I kick the brick ’neath the Derby hat, I club the India rubber rat, And yet I wonder, if the truth were known, If I am an April Fool alone. The IQinoi state senate is consid ering the proposition of limiting Illi nois athlestes to two sports. The ath letic board of the University is befc terly opposed.

Bunching hits and taking advan tage of Welch’s wildness, Rube Fos ter’s American Colored Giants walked away with the long of a 9 to 5 score against the Varsity yesterday after noon at Midway Park. The game, though slowed up by heavy grounds and a light drizle of rain that fell throughout the afternoon, was fea tured by copious hitting on both sides. Manager Foster has gotten togeth er fifteen of the best Ethiopian ball artists in the country, and the man ner in which they handled themselves convinced the fans that “Bez’s” boys were pitted against fast company. The Blacks have that happy faculty of making hard chances look easy, cut ting off several' apparent hits seem ingly without effort, and they are a well balanced team—every man but two getting his bingle. Coach Bezdek is still dissatisfied with the finesse of his team. He says: me team is nnung pretty good, out is still weak on the fine points in the fielding game. The negroes have a real ball club, all right.” The Giants treated the offerings of a trio of Oregon pitchers with about the same sympathy. Welch started and stayed seven innings, yielding nine hits and striking out two; Tuerck pitched the eighth, and McNair cele brated the German’s advent on the slab by poking the leather over the fence. “Bill' was saved further trou ble by a spectacular one-hand catch by Jim Sheehy in deep center field. Beckett took up the burden in the last canto and got away without damage, although three Blacks connected squarely with the pill. TJie Varsity out-hit the visitors, getting eleven safeties to their ten. “Skeet” Bigbee and Dick Nelson each got three, and “Pop" Cornell and Lyle Bigbee bagged a pair apiece, Grebe getting the other. The Africans started the game with a bang, getting a run in the first in ning. Barber hit the first ball pitched for two bases; Hill walked and Dun can scored Barber with a single over second base; McNair struck out, San top lined to center into Sheehy’s wait ing hands, and Hutchinson ended the stanza by flying to “Skeet." The locals struggled along until the fourth without registering, getting but two hits off Jenkins, the Black twirler. But in the fourth they got awful busy with the aforementioned lOolored gentjemarv Nelson Tattled the boards in the left field fence for a single; Lyle tore one through the pitcher's hex about a mile per; and both advanced when Jake Rieley, who (Ooetfnoed « page 4.)
