Owing to an unexpected misunder standing as to dates, the Woman’s Ath letic association has been forced to forfeit its claim to April 20-21, and for that reason the gymnasium vaudeville, originally planned for production on those dates by the two physical train ing departments, for the Woman’s build ing fund, has been called off. The Girls Glee club presents its concort on April 20. As a result, the woman’s physical training department has agreed to re peat the dance and music program given yesterday, on the afternoon of April 5 for the benefit of Women’s Athletic association. A twenty-five cent admission will be charged and the proceeds will go to the building fund. Bez Gets Toy for Family, Name's Theda; Coach Now Carries Much Insurance (by Lueile Saunders) Hugo Bezdek has au addition to his family. Its name Is Theda and it has a crank, and a tin horn and a shiny coat of paint. It runs when it has gas oline and it stands still when it hasn’t. Sometimes it even .ands still when the engine is going. That all depends on whether Bez has the the spark plug and the directions clear in his head. Bez purchased Theda two weeks ago and he hasn’t had a dull moment since. Although he has managed to keep off of gutters and trees so far, he has wasted a good many hours cranking the Ford. Once he was stuck out in the country and worked for half an hour until a pas serby was kind enough to tell him to put the clutch down instead of up. The next time he stopped in front of a butcher shop several blocks from home and wasted 15 minutes cranking, only to find that the spark was not on. “I had a lot of reasons for getting the jitney,” said the football coach. “Bill Hayward and I can now go fishing without having to ask- others to 30 , along, the boys can run the machine and save me having to get a chauffeur, my generous impulses will now make themselves evident and 'I can take my friends down town when I see them walking, I can get a chance view of this • great state of ours during the summer and make use of the invitations some of the boys have been giving me, and then, I want to take my family out all at one I time. The folks are safe for I carry plenty of insurance.” Dippy drome-. Biggest Woman's Event of Year Comes Off Tonight in Men’s Gym LOCAL HONOR GUARD GETS 21 RECRUITS University Co-eds Number 50; More Expected to Enlist on Second Call. Announce Dance March 28 at Armory; Girls Will Wear Red and White Uniforms. Two hundred and twenty girls have enrolled in the girls’ honor guard, 50 of whom are University students. The classes are not quite as well attended as Miss Lucille Dunn, president of the guard, says she expected they would be. One hundred and fifty girls were pres ent at the class last Thursday evening. Recruiting stations will open again Monday and Tuesday from 10 to 3 o’clock to give opportunity for other girls to enlist. Miss Dunn feels that there are more girls who wish to join the guard, judging from the number who signed at the first call. The girls’ honor guard will give an informal dance Wednesday night at the Armory. The members will wear their uniforms—white skirts, middies and red ties. Governor James Withycombe, honor ary vice-president of the girls’ national honor guard, who was asked with Mrs. Withycombe to be an honor guest at the dance, sent the following telegram to Miss Dunn: “Regret sincerely that I cannot ac cept your kind invitation for next Wed nesday, because of official engagement. I congratulate you and your members upon inauguration of honor guard move ment in Eugene and wish you fullest success in your patriotic plans.” The honor guests will be President and Mrs. P. L. Campbell, Mayor and Mrs. W. A. Bell, Dean Elizabeth Fox, Professor R. W. Broecker, Colonel and Mrs. C. C. Hammond, Mrs. Bertha Tit us, Lieutenant anad Mrs. Willis Shippam, Captain and Mrs. ovarverud, Lieuten ant and Mrs. II. G. Jenney. The Tuesday and Thursday classes will meet as usual at 7 o’clock at night. The girls of the University who are members of the guard and have en rolled in the third corps are requested to take their swimming at the Univer sity tank on either Tuesday or Thurs day afternoon.

Jim Says: Quit running on flat tires. Wear Neolin soles and Rubber Heels. Jim, the Shoe Doctor Opposite Rex (by Erma Zimmerman) The April Frolic, the women’s one big event of the school year, when they bar all men except II. M. Fisher, super intendent of buildings and grounds, who stays close by to see that electric wires, smudges and flaring lights used in pro ducing the stunts are kept in their proper places, comes off tonight in the Men’s gymnasium. What are you going to wear to the April Frolic? How did you get it? i Won’t it take a long time to fit a cos- ' turne like that? Haven’t you an idea for me, too? I have changed my mind about my costume every day for the last two weeks, haven't yon? Have you your stunt worked up yet? Thus ques tions have crossed back and forth among the girls in anticipation of the affair. No, freshmen boys, you cannot peek. Every upperclassman knows that and ! doesn’t try it after his freshman year. Opaque curtains, specially adapted for the occasion, will forbid even a ray of light to escape from that secret hull and only sounds of merriment and surprise without a hint as to their menniug will reward your vain efforts. No lags or long pauses in this frolic, but quick action, characterize the pro gram for the evening. The spectators will switch about as soon as the cur tain falls upon one stunt to watch with uncertain breath the next conducted on a stage in the other end of the gym. Stage settings for some of the stunts are elaborate and require time to change. . Meanwhile girls sitting on their heels or parallel bars become ashy. After finishing the dippydrome stunts the real frolic begins. The floor will be cleared, and fe-t will follow the rhyme of Mighty Oregon and other fa vorites. Fairies will dance with hobgob lins while the judges decide which or ganization won the cup Seth E. Far away, Eugene’s diamond merchant, has offered for the belt stunt, and upon further deliberation awurd a prize for the most original costume. EUTAXIAN WILL INITIATE SIX Eutaxian literary society will initiate the following University women next Tuesday night at tli; Bungalow: Olive Risley, Helen Wiegand, Myrtle Toby, Vivian Kellems, Rosamond Shaw and Oneone Shaw. Miriam Page is in charge of the program for the evening. CONCERT IS GIVEN Orchestra Makes Its Fifth An nual Appearance. Audience Appreciative and Large; Program Well Bal anced; Selections Please. The fifth annual concert of the Uni versity orchestra given Thursday even ing in Villard hall brought a large and appreciative audience. A noticablc fact, however, was that of the 300 or more people present, by far the larger num ber were town people. The program was well balanced and the selections pleasing, as evidenced by the repeated encores and comments of praise after the concert. William Vawter, baritone; Charlotte Banfield. reader, French Moore, flut ist; and Martha Tinker, accompanist, assisted in the program. It is almost impossible to pick any one selection played as a favorite; the weird Toy Symphony, with its birds and whistles and tambourines was un doubtedly one of the most enjoyable and the players themselves entered into the gay informal spirit of it. The Bal let music from Faust, in three parts, and the Surprise Symphony were ap plauded particularly, while the popular ity of the swinging selection from “Ka tinka” was show'n by bobbing heads and sounds which suspiciously resembled patting feet.
