OREGON SCHOLARSHIP At Rush Medical College where there are perhaps more Oregon men taking advanced work than at any other simi lar college, Blair Holcomb, a former stu dent in pre-medics on the campus and later at the University school of medi cine in Portland, has been elected to the highest scholastic Itonor society. The election to the society of which Holcomb is now a member is peculiar and reflects particular credit on Hol comb and upon the University of Ore gon. Only the very highest students who have had their previous training at Rush and one only a year from all the students who have affiliated there with preparatory work in other parts of the United States are admitted to mem bership. Holcomb, competing with medical students from all parts of the United States including virtually all the leading institutions, was elected this spring. No small amount of credit is duo the scholarship of other Oregon students at Rush the h'itzgibbons brothers, Bob Baker, Dean Crowell and numcr ous others. Records of these men at Chicago show them to well up in the lead in scholarship and all of them far above the average scholarship shown there. None are low in their studies. Here is enlightening information for j those who have been over awed by the j I niversitv of Oregon’s athletic prow j ess to the extent of believing that this! is the chief ami only work of the Uni Noisily, For nono of tlie men now at t(Muling Kusli Medical College wont to Chicago from the University with nnv unusual scholastic stunding at the Uni versity. Hero a majority of them wore I n vorago. Oregon spends no more time for nth lotion than other universities on the j l'ueifie Coast with whioh sin' compotes' and no more than eastern institutions. I It is simply the way Oregon men enter ; into the games they play for physical | development and exercise, tin1 Oregon , Spirit. While it naturally can not be j so spectacula as Oregon's athletic tri | umphs of recent years which tend to i oNorshadow the real purpose of the University as far as publicity is con corned, scholarship is found at the Uni j varsity, high scholarship.

HOME CONCERT FOR APRIL 18 ! Glee Club Returns From Successful Tour Over State; Men Received Royally at All Stops. Making A big bit is great sport, ac cording to members of the University Men ’s Glee club who returned from a ten day tour through southern Oregon towns Sunday night, and who have been delighting campus friends with glowing tales of the receptions received at their various stopping places. All that was lacking was the brass band. The Sixty-fifth had nothing on the men’s glee club. “There was not a single poor con cert,’’ said John Stark Evans, direc tor, who accompanied the men on the trip*, “and the newspaper comment re ceived along the line, testifies to the popularity of the show.’’ The stunts, under the direction of Graham Smith, were, according to Mr. Evans, the cli max of the performances. Packed houses everywhere micceeded in mak ing the trip a financial success. In order to prove to the University that the Glee Club “hit’’ was genuine, the men have planned to give a home concert April 18. After ten days’ ex perience op the road,” said Mr. Evans today, “I feel sure that the home con cert will be the very best, and since this term is bringing back old Uni versity customs, it should also be the one social event of the year.” Men “Farmed Out’’ The Glee Club members left the cam pus for their concert tour March 18 and sang for the first evening in Cottage Grove before a full house. The men were “farmed out” for the night in the private homes of friends of the University, a system employed as an economy measure at all the stops. Here Hill Morrison was unlucky, according to his own story, for he was scheduled to spend the night in an undertaking parlor ns the guest of the city under taker. Bill needed much urging bc fori he finally accepted the invitation. Before the evening was over however, Bill was on friendly terms with his host who confided to him that business was dead. Alumnle Entertain From Cottage Grove the club went to Oakland. The next stop was Klamath Falls where the men were entertained by Oregon alumni. The quartet com posed of Herald White, Charles ling gins, George Hopkins and Bill Mor rison, with Curtiss Peterson as solo ist, was taken to the various churches where they sang at the Sunday evening services. Two concerts were given in Klamath Falls, both before capacity houses. Medford, Ashland, Grants Pas and h’oseburg were in the trip and each entertained the club after the con certs. Stearns Unlucky At Medford, George Stearns, who had found his dross suit hard to keep track of, left his white vest in his room, lie did not realize this until he reached Ashland where he was prepar ing to make a sparkling appearance in thi> evening performance. In conse quence he took the next Ford to Med ford and returned entirely “vested” in time for the concert. The club mem bers are of the opinion that they make good travelers, however, and are look ing torward to another shorter trip this term. NEW OFFICERS INSTALLED Ruth Young and John Huston Take Posts in Mask and Buskin Until Young was installed as presi dent and John Huston as manager at a meeting of Mask and Buskin, honor ary dramatie society, held in Build hall Thursday evening. These new officers take the places made vacant by the resignations of Prances Prater, who resigned as president w hen she left college, and Curtiss Peterson, whose work on the Oregana fills his time. The other members of the cabinet of this organization are Xorvel Thomp son, vice president; Helen Buttery, secretary; and Evelyn Smith, corres ponding secretary. Business for the evening constituted the discussion of plans for a play to be given as soon after Junior Week laid as an open date can be secured. The play to be produced has not been definitely decided upon. BISHOP SUMNER COMING Bishop Walter T. Sumner, of the Or egon Hiocese of the Episcopal church, will \ isit the University for three days, beginning Monday, May 14, according to a letter received from him by Pres blent P. 1.. Campbell. It was the wish ] of the University ♦ > have Bishop Sum uer here during Junior Week Kiwi, but i he found it impossible to lie here at that tiuu'. Let’s shoot a game of jiool.

Pedro Alcantara before the Spanish club Thursday night at the Bungalow. : Scnor Alcantara spoke briefly of the j plant and animal life of the istands and j the ideal climate, but more particularly of the people iJjemselves. “There would be less trouble in the world if people understood better the people of other countries,” he said. “The present disturbances are largely caused by misunderstandings. The people of the Philippines are very grateful to the Americans, and the late Senator Wm. Jones was one of their greatest heroes,” he stated. Other members on the program that were greatly enjoyed were a Spanish dance in costume by Vida McKinney, and a humorous talk, “Spanish As It Was,” by Harold Wines. Grace Knopp, j president ctf the club, read a letter from ; the college students of Uruguay, ex- i pressing their good will toward Amer ican students. A feature of the meeting that proved very entertaining was the telling of short Spanish stories and jokes by the members. WILL FOUND FELLOWSHIPS Faculty Colloquium Recommend Estab lishment of Several Graduate work and fellowships were discussed at the faculty colloquium which met last Tuesday evening. Re ports were given of the graduate work and projtctional graduate work for each department was discussed. It was decided to recommend to the graduate council that teaching fellowships be founded in the departments in which they could best be used. These would include all the science departments, economics, sociology and others. A committee was appointed to in vestigate the research material now in the library in order to determine what valuable material is there for graduate study antT what is needed.

STYLE SHOW IS PLANNED Eugene Merchants Will Add Auto Show to Annual Spring Events In connection with the style show, which is to begin next Monday, Eugene will hold an auto show, which is plan ned to be one of the biggest and best things ever shown in this city. Present indications show that the exhibit will be largely attended by the people of Eugene, neighboring towns and cities outside the county. A large number of dealers have signified their intention of being on hand. The committee in charge of the show have arranged to have 'the same decora tors who decorated for the Portland auto show decorate the APmory in this • city. The show will be somewhat handi capped because of the lack of display room in the armory but it has been ar ranged to have all the real feature ears of the season. The men’s Universtiy Glee club, which made such a big hit in south ern Oregon during spring vacation, will ride through the streets on a big truck, singing Oregon songs and some of their famous hits. This will take place Mon day night, the first night of the show, and the University is ’expected to be largely in lajtendanee. It has also been arranged to have the big naval searchlight play on the crowds. The auto show will end next Thurs day by a road race for Ford cars, be tween Eugene and Junction City. The officials have arranged with the coun ty authorities that the racers will not be prosecuted for violation of the law. Only Lane county Fords can be in the race but any driver can enter. Several prizes have been put up, one of them being a fifty dollar prize by E. C. Sim- , monds for the winner of the race, pro- ■ viding ten cars enter. --- Hotel Osburn Cleaners and Pressers.
