Band Plays (By Adelaide Lake) “Hello, Lane,” was temporarily trans ferred from the University campus to Willamette street last night when house meetings were suspended and students attended the unveiling of store windows decorated by the Eugene merchants for Dress-up Week. In spite of rain and the almost utter impossibility of carrying an umbrella in the crowd, interest and loyalty were manifested by the Univer sity students and townspeople who made their appearance to admire the efforts of their merchants. Displays showed that much care had been used by all window trimmers to give the most beautiful effect as well as to exhibit the stock of the store. In two stores live models were shown; in one to display suits, coats and dresses and in the other to display hats. In one jew elry store a doll wedding was staged where all characters wore diamonds. One candy store showed candy pulling in pro cess and another made only small trans- ’ parent spaces in a frosted glass and the peepholes were labeled "For Men Only”. ; Candies were shown inside. Wade Brothers’ clothing store, which ! received the prize for the best window display, presented its suits in the form ! of an art exhibit. Each suit was framed, i Flowers gave the window a dainty ap- ; pearance. Hampton’s store, which received the ; prize for the best front, had decorated ! all of its windows, those on Sixth avenue ; as well as those on Willamette street. ! Different color schemes were used in each window to show off the goods to the best advantage. Simplicity and beauty should be called the prevailing effect of the majority of displays. The University baud, ns well as the city band, played on the street corners both before and after the unveiling o' the windows. ■II CRICHTON ASSiED FOR FRIDAY Faculty and Townspeople Guar antee Royalty at Per onal Risk. Rehearsals Continue; Commit tees of Students Handle Stag ing as Part of Class Work. “The Admirable Crichton”, J. M. Barrie’s drama of English society, will be staged Friday night, March 30, a Guild hall by the students of the dram atic interpretation classes under the di rection of Professor A. F. Reddie. Cca trary to the previous notice that the production of the play had been aban doned because of t1' i hi[h royalty, the play will be given, but for one night only. It is probable that all of the work of the classes in rehearsing for the play would have been in v’ain had it not been for the response which citizens of Eu gene and members of the faculty gave when the announcement came that the production had been given up. Individual membe. s of the University faculty, members of the Drama guild and citizens of Eugene, guaranteed the entire amount of the royalty regardla-s of the profit that might be made from the seat sale and rehearsals have been continued with scarcelj an interruption in the original plans. One of the first o get into commu nication with Profentor Reddie after the announcement was made through the Eugene papers last week that the play had be n abandoned, was the Rev. Wil liam Moll Case, pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church of this city. Rev. Case asked permissi m to head the list of subscribers who would guarantee the entire amount of -he royalty in order that the play should be produced here. So interested was Rev. Mr. Case that he has announced i. sermon for next Sunday evening, based upon the leading character of CTichton. Many of the students who have won distinction in previous campus plays will be seen in the cast of Crichton Friday night. Among these are Ernest Wat kins, Margaret Crosby, Alex Bowen, Eastern V acation i Fares Reduced Round Trips between Eugene and Points on the Oregon Electric.

PREPPERS TO 6ET GLIMPSE OF OREGON Stereopticon Lectures Ready for High School Students’ Spring Vacation. Pamphlets Portraying Campus Life Published by Advertis ing Committee. In pursuance of the policy upon which it came into existence last year, the I Greater Oregon Committee met last week and formulated extensive plans for making the University better known to high school students of the state. The ambition of the committee is to keep within Oregon universities and colleges, 1 students who have the choice of attend ing schools outside. This is to be done by giving every high school pupil in the principal cities of Oregon a glimpse of the University, not an actual view of the campus and its buildings, for that would be too ex pensive, but all time pictures, literature, and lecturers can portray. Special emphasis will be placed upon a series of student lectures to be given during spring vueation. Four speakers will be sent out to cover the principal cities of the state, and each will be ac companied by a stereopticon outfit and operator. Machines, and slides showing the University campus, laboratories and class-rooms, and many phases of student life, have been contributed by the ex tension department for the enterprise. Besides these specially delegated speakers, upper-classmen will be asked to go before high school audiences in their home towns during their spring vacation or week-end sojourns and talk on some phase of University life. It is thought that, in this way, nearly every high school student will be reach d. The opinion of the Greater Oregon Com mittee is that little or nothing about the University is known to high school students in some parts of the state, except that there is such an institution located at Eugene. The committee will include in its ad vertising plan the publication and dis tribution, to juniors and seniors in high schools, of pamphlets portraying life on the campus and all the information usually sought by one conteirplating en tering upon a college career. The ad vertising committee of the University will co-ope”ate with tae student organi zation in putting out literature. Expenses of speakers and the publi cation of pamphlets will be met partly by some form of student entertainment and partly by the University advertis ing department. The committee pirns to begin work early next semester and launch a lec ture campaign in the fall during the numerous holidays that cut up the first half of the school ; ear. Christmas va cation will give speakers an opportuni ty to cover a wide range of territory. ____. OREGON MEN NOW (Continued from page one) ~the National Oimnrd stationed in—Eiu. gene.
