Speaker Widely Recognized J. Stitt Wilson comes to the campus as one of the most highly recognized of international speakers. From every locality where he has worked and spok en letters of praise have been received. David It. Porter, national Y. M. C. A. secretary and one of the most prom inent men in the work in the United States, has written: “ I have been glad to know that J. Stitt Wilson should be recommended to go to the University of Oregon, for I hml the privilege of living with him a week and listen ing to his address's at the Sil War Student Conference. 1 came away with the conviction that he is a man with an unusual message for this particular hour. The cliie impression of his mes sage is the evangelistic challenge, that is, constantly challenging men to give their lives to the service of Christ. I have no hesitation in saying you will lie extremely fortunate if you are able to get him to visit the university.” Sociologist Endorses Him A letter received from Charles 111 wood, professor of sociology in the uni vesity of Missouri, says, “Permit me to say that the visit of Mr. ,1. Htitt Wilson at the University of Missouri accomplished a great deal of good. I am very glad I hat you are sending Mr. Wilson to the college and university people because the burden of his mes sage is just what I have indicated, that Christianity must be carried into our social and political life that we may realize a Christian democracy.” UNIVERSITY MEN PRAISED ' Surgeon General Sends Letter of Thanks for* Modical Services A letter of thanks and congrntuln tion for the base hospital unit Id oY which a number of University of Ore go it men are members, has been re reived at the President's office from both the lied Croaa and from Surgeon General M.

LAURITZ PAINTINGS SHOWN Six Works of Young Scandinavian Artist Are Displayed Six paintings by Paul Lauritz, a young Scandinavian artist who has re cently sprung into the limelight of the art world, are now on exhibition at the school of architecture, and ^re of ex ceptional worth according to faculty members of that department. All the pictures depict Alaskan scen ery and the spirit of the northland. Their titles run as follows: “Morning Fog, ’ ’ looking down Boulder Creek I Canyon near Chicaloon; “First Sign of Spring,” in Alaska swamps and tiie Coast Range near Matanuska; “Ship Creek with Coast range and Mount McKinley in the Distance,” close to the anchorage; “Sunset,” at Chester Creek, Alaska; “September Evening,” on Boulder Creek near Chicaloon; and “The Storm.” Paul Lauritz, the artist, received his early training from Fritz Thaulow, a Scandinavian, who is considered to be one of the modern masters. He did these paintings last year and had them on exhibit in Portland, where Dean E. F. Lawrence first saw them and ar ranged for their exhibit on the campus. With the exception of the picture of Mount McKinley, all are for sale by the department, in the interests of Mr. Lauritz, who has recently returned to Alaska *to do more work along the same line. »H BEAUTY IS OREGON PEACH Ordnance Man Writes of Admira tion Won From • Bezdek’s Crew “Note the enclosed clipping and then ask me if I want to come back “to Oregon,” writes Clarence W.

The clipping tells its own story. “Tt was at the Tutwiler hotel in Birmingham, where the Pittsburg Pi rates have been stopping. A hand some and stylish young thing with that carriage that denotes class that gives you a thrill, walked through the lobby, paused and seemed undecided. “ ‘Gawd, but she’s a peach,’ said one Pirate to another. ‘I tell you when it comes to real stuff you can’t beat these southern girls.’ “ ‘They sure are everything your little heart, desires,’ answered the team-mate. “And then the ‘peach’ walked up to Hugo Bezdek, held out her dainty hand and said: “ ‘t)h Mr. Bezdek, I’ve been look ing for you and hoped 1 would see you. Was just going through, you know, and didn't want to miss you.’ “And as she rolled her eyes and her 15 \s, Bezdek held her hand and smiled and smiled and talked and talked. “ When it was over and she had gone her way, the boys wanted to know who she was. “ Must a girl from out in Oregon,’ saiil Bezdek, ‘a student at the uni versity where 1 coached. She's been down in Florida and is on her way back home in Portland. Some girls out in Portland, take it from me.’ ” Since his discharge in March Sails bury has been appointed ns U.

VAUDEVILLE IS PLANNED Lively Program Will Be Produced In • Guild HaU May 29 A vaudeville, the plans for which ■ have been in the making for the past few weeks, is to go through with the push of much pent up energy and will be produced before the department of dramatic interpretation and invited guests on May 29th in Guild hall. It promises to be one of the most thoroughly lively affairs that has ever taken place under the auspices of that department and involves some well known campus characters in the cast. The vaudeville itself will last an hour and a half and the rest of the evening will be taken up with refresh ments and a general good time. This program with its varied numbers will be a good index to the talent of the department, and as people have been chosen to do just what they themselves think they are most capable of doing best, the entertainment should prove a decided success. Some of those who have been chosen to take part are, Buth Graham, Patty French, Lucile Evans, Gretchen Tay lor, Frances Stiles, Alice Van Schoon hoven, Margaret Hamlin, Carl Miller, Claire Keeney, Wilbur Hulin, Jiggs Leslie and Norvell Tompson. There are to be others but the entire pro gram has not been worked out as yet.
