MEN’S GLEE CLUB HAS FINE TIME AND COMES BACK WITH REAL COIN Manager Forced to Feed Sing ers Well; Men Sung Way Into Hearts of Hearers Sand, snow and song featured in the Men’s Glee club tour of eastern Oregon, according to those who made the trip. They went through a blind ing sandstorm on the way from Prine ville to Bend, found Bend wrapped in a blanket of snow, and sang all the time, according to the returned vocal artists. The party made the trip from Prineville > to Bend in cars, and sand was in the air most of the time. When they arrived at'their destina tion their faces were so blackened and grimy that they were mistaken for a colored minstrel troupe, they say. Three feet of snow greeted the party at La Grande and snow and cold was also met at Bend, after the struggle through the sandstorm. And They Made Merry! The natural features of the trip were not the only unusual ones, for the proceeds of the concerts not only paid expenses but left a margin in the treasury, which is not always the case. The concerts were well at tended in each of the places visited, the members say. At every place they stopped they were entertained by the people under the leadership of the alumni. Dances, dinners and trips were planned for them at each town. For the greater part of the trip the club travelled in its own private car and enjoyed all the comforts of Pullman life. The only mad scram ble to catch a train came in Port land, where “Chuck” Huggins and a few faithful retainers chased the train almost out of the yards but managed to climb on at last. The home concert will be given by the glee club on April 23 in the Eugene Armory, according to present plans.

Percell, Portland architects were the judges of the plans submitted, and in ad dition to the winners make favor able mention of Irving Smith’s, Loran Ellis’s and Del Hinson’s work. According to Dean E. F. Lawrence, dean of -the School of Architecture, the work of the students was excep tional and many very good plans were submitted. Mr. Rogers, the donor o,f the prizes will be remembered by many people as Frank Branch Riley’s assistant when he gave his illustrated lecture at the University several weeks ago. It was while on the campus at that time that he offered the two prizes. EX-PROFESSOR NOW EDITOR Gustave Buchen, Here 1909-11, With “See America First” Announcement was received by the Emerald recently that Gustave W. Buchen, assistant professor of public speaking in the University of Ore gon during 1909-1911, has become as sociated with the Bureau of Ameri can Travel, Milwaukee, Wis., publish er of the “See America First” mag azine.

TARGET PRACTICE BEGINS Cadets Will Be Taken to Range Every Saturday This Term The first squads of cadets to be taken to the rifle range this year fired at regular target practice just before spring vacation under the dir ection of Sergt. R. M. Martin, in structor in musketry. This was the only target practice held last term, but cadets will be taken to the range every Saturday of this term. Firing is conducted over the entire course. The cadets make arrangements to take their lunches and will stay on the range until the middle of the afternoon. The range is situated at the south end of Willamette street. Students are allowed to fire on the range with Enfield rifles and service ammunition after completing the prescribed course in sub-calibre fire. Y. M. NOMINATIONS MADE ROY VEATCH AND DON DAVIS UP FOR PRESIDENT Elections to be Held at Hut All Day Wednesday; Enlarged Scope of Work Planned Nominations for Y. M. C. A. • Officers For President— Don Davis Roy Veatch For Vice-President Joe Ingram Raymond Vester For Secretary— Raymond Osborne Norton Winnard For Financial Secretary— Wesley Frater Elston Ireland The Y. M. C. A. is planning big things for next year. This year it has been more or less handicapped, due to a lack of financial means, but it is the intention to expand in all of its activities on the campus. This will be effected by raising a large budget, so that the organiza tion will be able to porcure a high class secertary, and pay him a good salary. Not only this, but with this money the Y Hut will be able to cover all other expenses, and will be able to branch out more than here-' tofore. Several attempts have al ready been made to secure a secre tary but no definite selection has been made. It will be necesary to have a selec tion of capable officers, to handle the additional work resulting from this policy. This is the only 'organ ization on the campus which seeks to enlist all men, without any distinc tions whatever, and all are urged by the present cabinet of the Y. M. C. A. to take an interest in the election of officers for next year. Election will be held all day on Wednesday, April 14, 1920. Are You a Mason? The Masonis club on the Oregon campus, for 3rd degree Masons or higher, called the Craftsmen, wish to call attention to their meetings on the third Tuesday of every month, and to their informal dinner to be held at the Osburn hotel next Fri day evening, April 16th at 6 o’clock. All Masons are invited, and so that the club members may know how many diners to count on, all who expect to attend are urged to give their name to either Newton Bader at the S. A. E. house, or Mr. Lati mer, at Friendly hall. The business entertainment is promised to be over at the dinner by 8 o’clock. 37 PER CENT OF MEN STUDENTS EARN WAY THROUGH UNIVERSITY Figures Show Number of Girls Entirely Self Supporting Much Lower Of all the men students in the University, 37 per cent are wholly self supporting, 61 per cent earn more than half of their expenses, and only 20 per cent have incomes to de pend upon or are willing to let their families bear the burden. These fig ures are based upon approximately the first thousand students who regis tered during this week for the spring term, 630 men and 610 women. An interesting feature of the re ports furnished by the students as j they register, is the evidence of in-! creasing economic power demon- i strated by the successive classes. Of the men of the freshman class only 23 per cent support themselves wholly without help; sophomores, 34 per cent; Juniors, 42 per cent; sen iors, 47 per cent; special students, 70 per cent; graduate students, 76 per cent. 51 Per Cent of Freshmen Help Almost exactly one-half of the freshman class (61 per cent) earns half of its way or better, while of the sophomores 59 per cent earn more than half, of the juniors and seniors 63 per cnet, special students 82 per cent, and graduate students 84 per cent. One senior man reported that he had earned "160 per cent of his ex penses.” When asked what he meant it developed that he was paying his own way through the University and supporting his sister, who was also taking the course. The figures covering the young wo men of the University tell a story of greater difficulties in the way of self j support. Not nearly so many are able to make it as among the men.! Girls Have Harder Time The self-support figures among the girls drop off in the second year and do not recover until the junior or senior yea Of the freshman girls 16 per cent earn half or more of their expenses the first year, but the fig ures drop to 12 per cent for the so phomore year. In the junior year they are back, however, to 14 per cent of them earning half or more of their way, and in the senior year nearly double this number have learned the trick, for 27 per cent are more than half self-supporting. Of special students 47 per cent of the girls come in, this class, and of gra duate students 33 per cent. Of all the girls in the University 67 per cent are supported by their families, 10 per cent support themselves whol ly and 18 per cent earn more than half of their living. On entrance 71 per cent of all wo men students are dependent upon their families. They soon begin to get ideas of self-support, however, and in the sophomore year this total is reduced to 49 Per cent, in the junior year to 62, in the senior year it is 64 per cent, among the special students it is reduced to 47 per cent, and among graduate girl stu dents to 33 per cent.

PHONE 254 LIBRARIAN RETURNS FROM VISIT SOUTH Mrs. Marion McClain Says University Library is Working Under Great Handicap Mrs. Marion McClain, University circulation librarian, who has been sojourning in the southern part of California for the past few months, has returned to take up her duties fully recovered from the illness that necessitated her leaving Eugene. While away Mrs, McClain visited libraries at Stanford, Berkeley, and other libraries of note, studying the library methods of all these institu tions. Lack of room, lack of working materials, lack of assistants, and lack of funds for the library make it impossible to put into effect all the new ideas gathered from these dif ferent libraries visited, according to Mrs. McClain. “The University of Oregon library works under a greater handicap than any library I visited on my visit to the south,” said Mrs. McClain.
