A GREATER OREGON
The mlllago bill has carried. Ore
gon today enters on a new era 'of
development, and opportunity. The
campaign was a big task. It took
real effort and lots of it to get be
fore the people of tho state the In
formation they needed before they
could pass intelligently on the mea
sure. This campaign was put over us
tho students of Oregon usually put
over their campaigns, and to the
hundreds of loyal graduates and the
friends who worked incessantly for
tho passage of the bill tho Univer
sity owes a debt of gratitude.
Nothing now stands in the way of
Oregon’s becoming one of the lead
ing universities west of the Missis
sippi. Oregon's days as a small col
lege are ended. New buildings will
be started at once, and all the many
things which wo have lacked to en
able the Institution to do its best
work will be supplied.
While we are on the subject of j
thanks and appreciation, let us not'
leave out. tho voters who came to the
rescue of the institution in its time
of greatest need. The University
owes them a solemn obligation to do
its best and most serious work with
the facilities so generously afforded.
The passage of the bill is no sig-1
nul for us to rest on our oars. Let |
us keep alive the old' Oregon spirit
of loyalty and cooperation which j
made possible success in this cam
paign. Unless we do this our sue- j
cess in the late campaign will be but j
one sided.

IN'AHOFJW
AT ARMORY JUNE 9
Mildred Bettinger, Soprano, and
Gladys Lane, Contralto, to
Take Leading Parts
I
A children’s chorus of 600 -voices j
will present the cantata "A Garden o£j
Japan,” supported by the University |
orchestra and soloists, for the opening
performance of the Music Festival
Monday evening, June 9, at the Eu
gene Armory, according to Porfessor
Albert Lukken, dire'tor of the Music
Festival. "All eastern festivals,” said
Mr. Lukken, “make one special day
of children’s choral singing, and it
has proven particularly succesful.
“This cantata," he continued, "af
affords splendid oportunity in its
tuneful, rollicking choruses to the
enthusiasm of children’s voices.”
“Ten special teachers have been
drilling these choruses in the public
schools of Eugene for some time.
The effects obtained from such a large
body of singers will be a revelation
to both the eye and the ear,” said
Mr. Lukken. “It will also serve to
emphasize the value and the possi
bilities of the public school music
work.”
Soloists Voices Fine
Miss Mildred Hettinger, who will
sing the mezzo-soprano solo part is
a student in the University and has
a voice of splendid quality, according
to Mr. Lulcken “Miss Gladys Lane,
who will sing the contralto part, is
also a student in the University and
has a voice whoso deep full organ
tones are the rarest contralto,” he
said.
It had been found necessary to add
much more staging to accommodate
the large choruses as the armory will
1m! artistically decorated for the oc
casion, according to Mr. Lukken.
“Although the first part of the pro
gram will be devoted to the children’s
cantata, it is of such nature as to
afford pleasure to all. The second
part will be composed of orchestral
numbers under the direction of Rex
Underwood, of the University School
of Music, and two-piano suite by Mrs.
W. F. G. Thatcher and Professor lie
land Goon, both of the School of Mu
sic. "The latter combination will be
an unusual one and will afford both
novelty and enjoyment,” said Mr.
Lukken.
Mr Underwood, accompanied by the
orchestra, will play two number of the
Mendelssohn concerto for the violin.
George Stearns To Manage
It. is the plan, of those in charge of
the festival to present music of good
quality and yet of a nature and var
iety that will please every individual
ho seat sale of the entire festival
has been placed in the hands of
George Stearns, a member of the
men’s Glee Club. From the out of
town interest already developed it is
believed that record crowds will at
tend Eugene’s three day festival of
music, declared Mr. Lukken.
Places are still open in the chorus
of “The Rose Malden,” and any who
have ability are urged to be present
at the regular practices held every
Tuesday evening in Villard Hall.

Dress Reflects Spirit of Campus
Plain Attire Favored by Majority
That the wearing of old clothes
on the campus has meant much
to the spirit of democracy at Ore
gon Is the opinion of eight out of
10 students interviewed on the
question of college attire. A few
think that the standard of dress
should be raised.
“I think it is a good idea for
the students to dress the way they
do,” said one student. “Under
this system a man is estimated
by what he can do rather than by
the clothes he wears. Besides
there are many students who are
earning their way through college
and could not afford to dress much
better.”
The necktie is entirely out of
place in a college man’s campus
attire in the opinion of one stu
dent, who advocated wearing
clothes as long as possible. "The
more old rags, the better, as long
as they are clean,” he said.
“Sunday clothes should be worn
on Monday also,” said another stu
dent. “Otherwise there is too
much of a change. On other days
of the week, every one ought to
wear old clothes.”
“I believe the fellows are more
democratic in dress than the
girls,” said one of the men inter
viewed. “It would be a good idea
to make all the freshman girls
wear middy blouses.”
A student who talked with the
Stanford men who were recently
here for the baseball games, said
every one of them remarked on
the. democratic spirit shown by
University of Oregon students in
the matter of dress and in the old
tradition of the “hello”. He also
said that the officers sent out by
the government to inspect the mil
itary units commented on the Ore
gon spirit.
“It isn’t necessary to wear old
soiled clothing,” said one of the
girls. “Nor should one wear one’s
best Sunday suit to school; but
not many do. A happy medium
creates a real spirit of democ
racy.”
t “Oregon is a democratic school,
but clothes play a very small part
in that democracy,” said a prom
inent man on the campus. “The
idea of wearing old clothes rather !
than overalls, thus reducing the
H.C.L., is good. Of course the |
clothing must be kept neat and i
clean.”
“1 believe in the old tradition
of each class adopting a distinct
ive style of dress,” said another
student.
One student takes an opposite
view, believing the idea of class
dress foolish, and advocating
dressing more to a college stand
ard.
"Coming up to the University,
for the time, a person gets an
awful shock,” said one man. “And
it takes him a long time to get
accustomed to the system. I don’t
believe there is anyone in college
who couldn’t afford to dress bet
ter.”
/
Wearing corduroys won’t bring
down the cost of living,” said an
other would-be reformer. “It will
simply raise the price. I don’t
intend to be dictated to, but shall
wear what I feel like wearing.”
