USE lira Mini] OF MUSIC BUILDING Bf MAY IS POSSIBLE Holding Company Finances $75,000 Structure Which Nears Completion. AUDITORIUM TO HAVE 615 SEATING CAPACITY Upper Floor Has 13 Practice Rooms; 10 Studios; Will Be L-Shaped. The now music building witli its audi torium, having a seating capacity of C15, well equipped studios, and practice rooms is nearing completion. The studio wing will possibly be ready for occup ancy by May, according to John Lands bury, dean of the school of music. This .$75,000 building, which is located on the southwest part of the campus, is to be L shaped, with one wing for the auditorium, and the other for the studios and practice rooms. On the first floor in the studio wing there is a large club* room with a fire place and sun porch, three studios, a lecture room and prac tice rooms. On the second floor, are 13 practice rooms and 10 studios, besides a room for the use of Mu Phi Epsilon, honorary musical fraternity for women. The studios are to be equipped with Steinway Grand pianos, and the rest of.the equip ment is also to be of the very best, says Dean Landsbury. A detailed account of what the equipment is to consist of will he available later. The auditorium is to be made of brick, and is to have a concert platform, thus limiting the use of the hall to concert work alone. The building was financed by the Uni versity Holding company, which is made up almost entirely of Eugene business men. This corporation, which was sanc tioned by a special act of the state leg islature, is advancing the money and selling bonds on the loan. The building is to be rented to the University, and in a few years will be owned by it. ANIMAL CLINIC PLANNED University of California To Establish Research Division.

U. xiOLT WILL SPEAK AT INDUSTRIAL FORUM President of Fruit Growers’ Association Has As Topic Co-operative Methods. J. O. Holt, president of the Eugene Fruit Growers’ association, will speak on the “Co-operative .Method in Indus try” at the regular meeting of the In dustrial Forum this evening at the Y. M . C. A. bungalow. The Eugene asso ciation has branches throughout the state and is a good example of the co operative system. * This is the biggest organization of its kind in Oregon, and has been built up largely through the efforts of Mr. Holt, according to Miss Dinsdale, Y. W. C. A. (secretary. The co-operative system is (used and the. Eugenb association alone furnishes employment for a large num ber of people, especially in the summer months. 1 Last week at the Forum meeting the competitive system was discussed. The effects of this system will be compared with the effects of the co-operative method, in relation to the community las a whole. Other questions that will 'be used in discussing the topic will be: How creative instinct fihds expression in modern industry; How is the credit sys tem often an obstacle to the organization and promotion of co-operative enter prises and consideration of co-operative methods? 0.1. C. TIKES DEBITE Negative Team Loses by 3-0 Decision. By a unanimous decision of 3-0 the O. A. C. girls debating team won over the Oregon team in a debate held in Corvallis Tuesday night.

If the scheme goes through, a Cardinal-Bruin series will be staged in Japan. The tour will^ be in charge of ;M. Kushiviki, who had charge of the Japanese display at the exposition. He has guaranteed expenses for thirty-four men, seventeen from each college. Training for Track and Field By W. L. HAYWARD. No. 3. The 440-Yard Run. Of all the tra£k events this race is considered to be the hardest if run prop erly. It combines both speed and en durance, and is one that should not be run except by men in good physical con dition. There are two types of runners for this distance: the sprinter and plug Scr. Of the two, the first is generally the better, providing he has the endur ance to carry him through the 440 yards. 3 lie other is usually a half miler who has a good uniform speed and is able to plug it through all the way. Best adapt ed for this race is the tall rangy runner who has an easy swinging stride. Every 440 yard man should start like tlie sprinter and learn to get his stride quickly. The ability to start is just as important in this race as in the sprints. •E most quarter mile races are run on a circular track and the start is generally from thirty to forty yards from the first curve, the quickest starter has the host chance to get the pole on entering the turn, and this is something that must not be overlooked. During the early training the runner should do considerable jogging at dis tances greater than the 440, usually one halt' or three-quarter miles will be suf ficient. The object of the greater dis tance is to gain for the runner the en durance which is necessary to finish grueling races. After the legs and wind are in fairly good condition, the run ner should do a little speed work witn the sprinters, going 50 or 60 yards with an occasional burst of 200 yards at three quarter speed. As the athlete gets stronger and feels that he can go further without injury, the sprint may be length ened out to 300 yards. When a runner feels that he is strong enough he may pay more attention to ‘ sprinting but should never lose sight of endurance. This must be his chief aim. From this time on he should work for speed which will be the deciding factor in his races. Unless running a trial the athlete should not go more than 3i^ yards at top speed. As a rule it is not wise to run more than one trial a week, and that should be a race. To be successful the runner must be a good judge of pace, and run his own race regardless of the others. The greatest mistake a quarter-miler can make is to run the first ,100 yards too fast and finish in distress. Learn to know your endurance and your pace. M "KING OF CASTLES Will BE PRESENTED Three - Act Operetta To Be Given In Eugene Theater Friday, March 4. MRS. BECK, AUTHOR, DIRECTS PRODUCTION University Orchestra Will Furnish Music; Tickets Going Rapidly. “Everybody builds eastles, some charm ing and some otherwise, and everybody should find in life the most charming eastle for him to build.” Such is the expression of the theme worked out by Mrs. Anna Landsbury Beck, author and director of the three-act operetta, “King of the Castles,” which will be given by the students of the University ligh school in the Eugene theater on Friday, March 4. In order to make the working out of the theme complete, Mrs. Beck has called the characters in the operetta “builders,” signifying that they are to build castles in the story. For instance, there is ‘The Wanderer,” who is a builder of castles of love and wisdom and happi ness. The castle of happiness is the. ‘King of the Castles.” “The Wander Br” and “The Boy Who Listens” are romantic story book characters. Their parts are taken by Robert MeKnight snd Wilfred Moore. Story Has Two Plots. “There are really two plots in the story,” said Mrs. Beck. The first plot is carried out by the Wanderer and the Boy separately to the very climax. The second plot is caused by the first story told by the Wanderer. The two plots continue to react on each other to the very end where there is a common climax. “The comedy runs throughout the operetta,” said W. F. G. Thaeher, pro fessor of rhetoric, in discussing the production. There are two pairs of co medians one of which is on the stage all the time. One team is composed of two policemen, “C. Bacon” and “A Ryan,” whose parts are taken by Lloyd Young and Dean Scott. The other pair consists of a “real es tate dealer,” who is all the time trying to sell sand lots, and a “lumber deal er" who sells shingles and scantlings, the professor continued. “They do a very-fetching song and dance stunt that lould make a hit on the professional stage,” he said. Henry Sheldon and Dale Cooley play these parts. Comedy Said To Be Good. “All four parts are excellently cast,” Professor Thaeher continued. “It is remarkable to find four high school boys who really have such a sense of com edy. All four can sing.” The tickets for the entertainment are going rapidly, according to Glen Mor row, manager for Mrs. Beck. Admis sion to any part of the house except the gallery will be fifty cents. Seats may be reserved at the theater box office between 10 a. m. and 8:30 p. m. on the day of the performance. The enter tainment will not begin until after the basketball game. Music for the operetta wity.be furnish ed by . the University orchestra under the direction of Rex Underwood. (Continued on rage a.; STORY CONTEST ENDED Miss Eddington and Mrs. H. B. Torrey Selected As Judges. The Edison Marshall sh<5rt story con test has closed, and the fifteen stories which were received are ' now in the hands of the first judge. Miss Grace Edg ington. Mrs. Harry B. Torrey, who is well known as a writer of short stories, will be one of the judges while the third is yet to be selected. It will be a man who is not a member of any college fac ulty; the idea being to get an entirely different point of view. The, stories are to be judged by the standards of the best class of American magazines, and it is improbable that the results will he known for several weeks That more interest is being taken ii; the contest, which is annual affair is evidenced from the fact that then were fifteen entrants this year, againsl twelve last year. Interpretation of Grieg Concerto by Mrs. Thacher Termed Artistic Triumph (By LELAND A. COON.) Only when one attempts to express in terms of words the exaet nature of the feelings aroused when listening to a masterpiece of music nobly performed does he realize the absolute futility of such a task. Music is so all inclusive an art that the scope of its real appeal is sadly limited when bound up in mere words and phrases. It is no more than just to say, how ever, that Grieg’s Concerto, op. 16, in A minor was adequately, convincingly, and most artistically presented Tuesday evening in Villard hall. This work pos sesses Grieg idioms a plenty, and is all the more distinctive in that the com poser has here shown in addition the greatest versatility and originality of anything,he ever wrote. Scandinavian ruggedness, Gallic poteic grace and vi vacity are all displayed in abundance. Mrs. Thacker, already held in the highest esteem as an artistic genius, move than surpassed herself in the playing of fhe Concerto and with su perb assurance she delivered a message replete with beauty and vitality. From ,the stupendous chords and octave pas sages of the allegro, through the scin tillating, limpid melody of the adagio, to the sparklingly rhythmic and vivacious finale, she acquitted 'herself with glory and left her hearers in a world far re mote from the material. May we hear her long and often! To Hex Underwood and his orchestra is due much commendation for their effective support in the concerto and for their spirited rendering of the first and last numbers of the program. In the Rachmaninoff “Prelude” the brass sec tion in particular showed musical “punch,” precision and balance. Just this question in parting: does the public fully realize the rare opportunity offered them this year to hear absolute ly gratis such concerts as these which present not only good orchestral selec tions but also concertos which are sel dom heard on n university campus? A clever idea, too, is the printing of ex planatory notes on the programs briefly sketching salient points regarding the numbers offered. Let the good work on. j FACULTY CLUBHOUSE GNEN COHEM Building on Millrace May Be Rented and Remodeled. The possibilities and advisability of securing a building to be used as a fac ulty clubhouse were discussed at a meet ing of the faculty colloquium held in Dr. Gilbert’s room in the library Tues day evening. The renting of the shack just back of the Anchorage was con sidered, and the committee was asked to look into the matter. This committee ! is composed of Professor W. F. G. Thacher, chairman, Dr. ,T. H. Gilbert, Dr. ,T. D. Barnett and Professor Sam Bass Warner. . According to Dr. R. II. Wheeler, chairman of the colloquium, the con sensus of opinion was that there is a growing need for such a chib, but owing to the fact that the University faculty is still small compared with other in stitutions where faculty clubs flourish, it was thought that this beginning should be a very simple, humble affair. The location of the building on the mill race was favored, but information in regard to leasing and the cost of re modeling it is desired before any defi nite action will take place. According to Dr. Wheeler the proposed clubhouse should contain a recreation and social room and a dining room. In the case of the proposed shack, the Anchorage kitchen would probably be used. Some members of the faculty seemed to be in doubt as to whether or not this matter should be undertaken at present, but the opinion was expressed that if the beginning were on a small scale the expense would not be excessive. Reports of the committees on entrnnce requirements and on revising the state ment of the Missouri system of grading were postponed until the next meeting of the colloquium. Y. W. HAS SPRING DRESS Housecleaning Activities Prevalent at Bungalow. Housecleaning, one of the interesting activities prevalent in spring weather, has reached the Y. W. C. A. bungalow. The office floors have been painted, the other floors waxed, but they always are every two weeks declared Miss Dins dale. The windows have been washed, a new office arranged and a new door put in for the convenience of the girls, j Miss Dinifflale has a private office now ! and the outside one is used by Miss Louise Davis, her associate. The bunga low is cleaned very regularly too, said Miss Dinsdale. Every day it gets a good cleaning and then an especially good one on Saturday. The floors are polished every two weeks. “BLUE AND GOLD” IN LIBRARY. The “Blue and Gold,” California Uni versity Junior annual, has been received in exchange for a copy of the Oregana, and is now on the shelves of the library., “Arizona” Alive With Hu morous Parts. When Mask and Buskin decided to Produce ‘Arizona’ as a student body play they found themselves in a quandary- The [day needed a real vile villiun. They wouldn’t find the viilian. Gloom prevuil ?d. Then Bob Tori, who is director and ties had m ire or less professional ex perience. was chosen to assume the role. Not only has “Arizona” an excep tionally good viilian but it also has a remarkably good cast, according to those ,vho have viewed the rehearsals. Starr N’orton, as lending lady, plays, opposite the youthful hero, Lyle Bartholomew. A Mexican costume, including an cxi pensive sombrero has been imported' from southern California for the use of Hi Simula, who plays the part, of the love dck Mexican, who strums upon his gui :ar and sings ballads to his “Lena.” Hank Foster, playing the part of “The Rolonel” and the husband of Estrella Bonham (Ruth Griffin), lias proven that lie is not. only a star track man but also me of the shining lights in the Univer sity theatrical world. Miss Griffin’s part. is probably the most difficult femi nine role in the play. John Houston, manager of the produc tion, has the character lead and his cus tomary “zipper” will be used to good advantage in making the play a success. Director Earl says the minor char acters are also getting into the spirit of their parts in good shape, and if pres ent indications are any criterion, “Ariz ona” is going to be the most sensation ally gripping play that the University has ever seen. COUNCIL WANTS DATE OF OPENING CHANGED Resolution Passed Last Night; April Frolic and Smoker Will Be On April 30. A resolution was passed at the meet ing of the student Council last night ask ing the faculty to reconsider the time set for the opening of school next fall. The time wanted by the students is Sep tember 26, while the date set by the fac ulty is for school to open a week later, or October 3. The present date would give but one week at Christmas, which would prevent many students from going home for the holidays. The date for the April Frolic and the all-University men’s smoker was set for April 30. No action was taken on the proposed changes in the constitution, this/being put off until next week, a special meeting having been called for Monday night, March 7, at 8:30.
