$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.
University of California, March 2. —
Pacific Intercollegiate News Service.)—
Plans for the construction of the world’s
greatest animal clinic, to be established
in Berkeley with the conjunction of the
department of agriculture, are proceed
ing rapidly, according to word given out
from the office of the president yester
day afternoon.
The idea of establishment of the ani
mal clinic is to provide an experimental
and research division which shall lead
into the methods* for better conserva
tion and greater production. Accord
ing to the president, the great dairy
region around the P>ay will be hugely
profited by the work of the clinic.
J. 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?

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.

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.
