Add more laurels to those already won by the school of music. John It. Siefert,, instructor in voice, “took the Portland musical world by storm,” according to press reports, in a concert which he delivered there last week. 11 is accompanist was Poland A. Coon, j likewise an instructor here who came in for a great share ot the j praise for the success of the concert. The Oregon school of music ranks among the highest in the col lege world, and among the instructors, whose work brings about this high ranking, are some ol the leading artists in the country The spirit of the school of music must not be overlooked; its hearty cooperation is always ready at request, and the willingness and snap with which instructors and students in the school take their part in the musical numbers often necessary to a successful meeting is deserving of tribute. John J. Landsbury, dean of the school of music, is always in the front rank among those willing to assist. Tomorrow night Oregon students are going to have a chance, the first chance in years, to hear I)r. Landsbury give a public recital. Nothing need be said of the quality of this entertainment, for it is a privilege to hear him. And furthermore, Dr. Landsbury is giving his assistance in this third number of the series of concerts which the women s league has un dertaken. without remuneration. Through Lis aid the Womans League may be able to ideal’ the debt incurred last year in bringing the Portland Symphony orchestra to the campus to take part in the formal opening of the Woman's building. Tin* outstanding innovation at Harvard this fall is the derision to make public the undergraduates’ scholastic marks. The action is taken as the result of a suggestion from the students themselves through the Student Council, and is a serious attempt to improve general standards of scholarship. Undergraduate students will be divided into six groups ranging from “Highest distinction’’ to “Low pass.” Flat failures will be conspicuous by the fact that their names do not appear on any list. Oregon beat Harvard to it by a year or so, but flat failures arc not conspicuous by their absence on the Oregon grade sheet. Rather the opposite is the ease. Would that the frosh bonfire were yet in the construction. A certain sign board, which has recently put in its appearance, yet not on the campus, (for a wonder.) might bedeck the top of that pyre and have our heartfelt wish for a speedy consumption by the flames. HIGHWAY ENGINEER TALKS Present Cost of Paving Roads Declared Ruinous; Substitute Is Sought "The problem of finding some sub stituli' for the present method of hard surfneing roads is one of the greatest confronting the highway engineer of Oregon," stated Herbert Nunn, chief engineer of the State Highway coin mission, who addressed the pre engineer ing students of the I'niversity Wed ncsday evening. "Oregon cannot nf ford to pave her roads much longer at the present cost of $-0,000 a mile.” Mr. Nunn said that the old type of macadam is obsolete but that the com mission has worked out an improved type which can be cheaply bail* and maintained. Most of the improvement in the next few rears will be of this new macadam, which should enable the state to put in good condition most of the necessary roads within a res sonably short time. The lecture was illustrated b\ slides show ing some of the problems i onfront ing the engineer in highway construe tlon. OREGON TO PUT UP HARD BATTLE WITH DEBATERS OF 0. A. C.

During First Year Sends Greetings to University Students The Emerald has just received a let ter from Colonel John Leader, one of Oregon’s most valued friends and en thusiastic supporters. The letter which is dated November 9, and is post marked Auckland, New Zealand, reads as follows—“To the Editor: Just a line of greeting to the Uni versity from five exiled U. of O.’s in Australia, Aline Noren, ’14, Jenny Hug gins, ’111, Lourene Taylor, 'IS, John Leader, (’19,) and Jenny Noren (be lieved to be about ’.10). “We have established an annex to the University out here. T don’t know if ‘annex’ is the proper word, but it is a sort of rival to Dr. Ttebec’s thing in Portland. “T (John Leader) “Ben Franklined our constitution and vetoed the wo men’s vote until they are fit to use it, Only three of our election returns are in so far—president of the student body, yell lender and dean of women— I am all of them. We have adopted nearly all the Oregon institutions, but thought the ‘Wiskey Wow Wow’ yell lacked pep, so we yell. We are the bearcats wild and free— We eat raw meat at the Universitee. “We go surf bathing in our Aus tralian Mack Sennett suits, and we know where Ben Turpin got his squint from. The young Australian men ad mire me awfully and make Goo Goo eyes at me as we pass—at least I sup pose it is me!! “If anyone ever wants to write to us. we are at Box 462, Auckland, New Zealand.
