pmimnasE SENIOR APPEARS IN RECITAL AT METHODIST CHURCH Talent Shown in Dlfflccult Selections —Patty French and Leland Coon Assist Among the best received musical events of the year was that heard Tuesday night at the First Methodist church when Curtiss Peterson, a sen ior in the University, appeared in recital. Mr. Peterson, who is a gifted soloist, possessing a baritone voice of unusual quality, has ap peared before in Eugene, but perhaps this was his best recital. He was assisted in his program by Patty French, at the piano, who acted as his accompanist, and by Leland Coon, at the pipe organ. According to music critics, Mr. Peterson’s numbers were all very well rendered, and some of his selections were especially good. Perhaps his best number was the aria “It is % Enough” from “Elijah”. The selec tion is very difficult and the person singing it has a remarkable oppor tunity to display his talents. Mr. Coon accompanied Mr. Peterson on the pipe organ for this number. Another number which attracted a great deal of. attention and called forth hearty applause from the aud ience was “Punchinello” by Molloy. This selection was entirely different from most of the others and gave opportunity for Mr. Peterson to show the wide range in his voice. Mr. Peterson has been very active in musical circles during his Uni versity career, and has studied in the University school of music for the past six years. He is member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity and has been a member of the men’s glee club for the past four years. Mr. Peterson will continue his vocal work in New York next winter, and friends predict a decidedly brilliant future for him in the musical world.

DEBATE TOPIC SELECTED American Labor Party Question to Be Discussed by Women “Resolved, That American labor should organize and support a party of its own”, is the subject chosen for the women’s debate which is to be held in Corvallis and here about May 21, according to Professor R. W.^Prescott, debate coach. “We hope to hold the Washington debate bn the same-date in Portland and Seattle,” said Professor Prescott. The same subject may be used then. The interstate oratorical contest between Oregon, Washington and Idaho will probably be held here on May 28, he said, and the tryouts during the first week after spring vacation. So far, the names of those from Oregon who will compete in the tryouts are not known. The last date for filling applica tions for the Failing and Beekman prizes will be Friday, May 7, Profes sor Prescott wishes to announce. So far no applications have been made. TEACHERS’ UNION OPPOSED Members of Educational Society De bate Federation Question Members of Phi Kappa Delta, local honorary educational socity, went on record as not favoring the affiliation of teachers with the Atnerican Fed eration of Labor, at their last meet ing held Friday night, at which time the question was debated. Harold Benjamin presented the ar guments on the affirmative and Wil liam Hoppes took the negative. After these papers were presented the ques tion was discussed informally by all present and a vote was taken. It was decided that such a connec tion would not be advantageous as teachers could not use the methods employed by labor organizations, such as striking.
