News Editor This Issue Arthur Budd Night Editor This Issue Earle Voorhies Do We Want a Band? The campus has been brought face to face with the probability of having to go without the services of a band this year. The mat ter was brought forcibly to the attention of the student council last night, when it was made known that the commanding officer of the R. O. T. C. had so far been unable to secure the services of a leader. The council has taken up the matter and is investigating the most feasible plans for the organization. But there is a chance for the students interested in the band to bring about immediate action. If the plan of a self-supporting organization is not feasible, then it should be made known by the musicians themselves. It has been pointed out that a band leader of ability might be brought here and his services be paid for by the proceeds from concerts and dances conducted by the organization. It has also been suggested that the band might go on a tour of the state, in much the same manner as the orchestra and the glee clubs. Oregon should not have to go without the services of a band, and steps toward organizing one should be taken at once.

OPAL WHITELEY’S BOXES SENT ON TO NEW YORK Author of Widely Discussed Diary, Once Oregon Student, Now With Putnams, Publishers Three boxes filled with the belong ings of Miss Opuil Whitefy, former University of Oregon student, left the Cauipus yesterday to be sent, at her request, to New York City. Several months before Miss Whitelv left the <ampus, she placed the boxes under the care of Mr. Fisher of the mailing department, and asked that he send them to her when he receiver word from her. lie stored them in the basement of Villard hull and there they remained for three years. A few days ago, he was instructed to send them to her present address in New York City. Opal Whitelv achieved wide pub licity through her dairy, “The Story of Opal,’’ which appeared in serial form in the Atlantic Monthly. At the present time, she is associated with O. V Putnam’s Sons in New York. Miss Whitelv aroused keen interest at the University and in Lane county, her girlhood home, with her story of her alleged foster parentage. Mr. and Mrs. Whitelv of Cottage drove, she said, adopted her on the death of her “angel parents ” in childhood. Her apparent familiarity w ith French names and places seemed to lend color to her contention that her real parents were French and that her early childhood was sp>ent abroad. Her “Story of Opal,” as her diary was railed, also aroused comment for its peculiar literary merit, which, in the judgment of many readers, was far beyond the abilities of a girl of 5, the age when, according to her story, she Wrote the most of it. Psychologists and newspapermen the country over have investigated and studied the case, without finally settling either the mys terr of her parentage or the genuine ntss of her childhood diary.

Mr. Robertson is a member of bigma Nu fraternity, lie is attending the Oregon Medicai Hchool at Port land this year and was recently pledged ; to No Sigma Nu. DEAN LANDSBURY NAMED ON NATIONAL COMMITTEE Purpose is to Strengthen University Schools of Music and Combat Narrow Conservatories Dr. John J. Landsbury, dean of the University school of music, was recently appointed chairman of the national committee fur the organization of Uni versity schools of music. This com mittee will work out a plan of organi zation which will strengthen the work of University schools of music and aid in combating the influence of music conservatories. It is felt that con servatories give onlv narrow and highly, specialized training to their students. Also, the cost is much greater than University training in music. The committee hopes to present a plan to keep the eost of musical educa tion within the reach of many who could not possibly afford conservatory work. At the same time a plan will be pre sented which will insist on the largest possible measure of academic work in connection with the musical training of students. The committee will report at the national convention which will meet in Detroit in December.

I. N.oS.,) —“Conventionality rather than ’origi nality is evident in college students,” said Prof. W. W. Lyman, associate in English and Celtic, in a recent inter view. “Students in the universities are too standardized and are apt to think alike. In European universities the tendency to become conventional is not quite as striking as in America. Of the American universities, Harvard students show the most originality. “Hazing is a manifestation of con ventionality. Freshmen are forced by the sophomore vigilance committee to do and think the same way as the upperclass men, which prevents origin ality.” When asked how dormitories would affect the situation, Professor Lyman said, '“Dormitories will naturally create similar sentiments, but the chiefVffect will be that students will become ac quainted. Dormitories are desirable because they are the foundation of friendships. “MJost university students,” con tinued Professor Lyman, “tend to have their opinions molded by their leaders. Members of a class will think the same as a professor, having no independent idea about the subjects taken up in class. Professor Lyman Baid that in such a large institution as this University there are innumerable kinds of people, but even so there is a very small amount of originality shown. “When these students enter the busi ness world, however, the contact with life makes them think for themselves, otherwise, they would never succeed. There is certainly room for more inde pendence and originality in all of our American universities,” said Professor Lyman in conclusion. COUNCIL ASKS FOR SPEAKER TO URGE CUT IN ARMAMENT (Continued from page one) matter of organizing the band this year. An effort has been made by Major Baird to procure a leader through the R. O. TV C., but so far he has not met with any success. The plan was sug gested that the band be a self-support ing institution in much the same man ner as the orchestra and the glee elubs are. A committee consisting of Maurice Eben, Jason McCune and Ella Raw lings was appointed by president Bar tholomew to confer with Major Baird and students who are interested. It was argued that if a band is to be organized it should be done at once, so that the organization may take part in the Homecoming program and at the big game, November 19. Dance is October 22 Arthur Campbell, chairman of the dance committee, reported that defin ite arrangements for the first student body dance of the year had been made for October 22. The Council, after dis cussion, disapproved the custom of stu dents making out programs within their organizations beforehand. The dance will be held in the Woman’s building. The matter of the unsightly bill boards about the campus was brought to the attention %i the council and re ferred to the Campus committee for immediate action. President Bartholo mew instructed them to have the boards removed at once if possible. Present at the meeting were: Lyle Bartholomew, president: Helen Carson, secretary: Ella Rawlings, Mildred Fer guson, James Say, Maurice Eben, Ja son McCune, Arthur Campbell and Floyd Maxwell, representatives.
