CONCERT BY QLEE GLOB HEARD BY EARGE CROWD Full Chorus, Quartettes and Solos Feature Program In University circles there is no stu dent organization which gives more universal pleasures and satisfaction than the Men’s Glee club, if the crowds that attend their concerts are a fair indication. The concert last Saturday evening brought out one of the largest audiences that has gathered at the Wo man’s Memorial hall for some time. Despite the general prevalence of colds and sore throats during the past week the metnbers of the club seemed to have escaped the epidemic for their voices were in splendid condition. The first part of the program was replete with selections by the full glee club, lively encores, piano and vocal solos Glen Morrow, baritone, and Arthur Johnson, tenor, were especially pleas ing in their solo work. Ronald Ried has already made himself famous on the campus as a concert pianist. His “Sixth Hungarian Rhapsody” by Liszt, won much applause and his encore num ber, the “Juba Dance” by Nathaniel Dott, was also very effective. Local Color on Program Part II of the program consisted of comedy, tragedy and a variety of selec tions in lighter vein. “The Grass Hopper,” a tragic grand opera, in which the untoward death of “G. Hopper” was told in various versions of song by those directly interested in his de-. mise, made a great hit with the audi ence. Local color with thinlv-veiled allusions to local personalities were scattered about generously throughout the rest of the program. The “Booster Song” was brought up to date in order to keep pace with the year and the changing seasons. Quartetts Conclude Program Two readings by Nelson English, “The Theta Sunday Tea” and “An Hour at the Rainbow” were especially clever take-offs, as was also a reading by Cyril Vallentvne in which he held forth on “Those Foolish Questions.” Vocal and instrumental quartets brought the evening’s entertainment to a happy conelusion. The necessity of calling off the dance which was to have been given immediately after the concert as announced by John Stark Evans, director of the club, made possible several extra numbers in addition to the printed program which follows: Part I (a) Oregon Pledge .Evans (b") Love Symphony .Damrosch Glee Club Landsighting (Incidental Solo—Glen Morrow") .Grieg Glee Club Solo—Che Gelida Manina, from “la Boheme” .Puccini Arthur Johnson, tenor (a") Her Rose (Incidental Solo—Glen Morrow") .Coombs (b") Tnvictus .1.Huhn Glee Club Solo—Sixth Hungarian Raphsody .... .Liszt Ronald Reid, pianist Castilla—A ballad of Spain . Protheroe Glee Club Part TT “The Grass Hopper”—Tragic grand opera—an ancient theme embellished with modern perversions. Selected Cast Vice Versa—Also Selected. Oregon Songs— Quartet and Glee Club MENTAL TESTS ARE GIVEN Miss Montgomery Aids Grade Teachers to Know Students Better Miss Ruth Montgomery, instructor in the school of education, gave mental tests to the grade children of New berg last week. This work is a part of a service established by the Univer sity for the use of superintendents and teachers in places where mental tests are not ordinarily available. By means of these tests the amount and causes of retardation and the ability of ex ceptional pupils are determined, enabl ing the teacher to obtain a better knowledge of the conditions under which he is working. Miss Montgomery will leave the first of next week for Ashland and Med ford, where she will conduct similar tests. She will be gone two weeks. Professor F. L. Stetson, of the school of education, visited the Junior high school at McMinnville last week. FRIDAY DANCE PLANNED Order of “O” Hoping Ban Will be Lifted Before End of Week A student body dance given by the “Order of the O” is planned for Fri day night in place of the one which was to have been held last Friday. The “Order” is making plans with the hope that the ban will be removed by health authorities by the end of the week. The feature of the dance will be stunts by the neophytes of the letter men’s association, which will be given during the program. It will be held in the armory immediately after the basketball game with O. A. C. Glen Walkley, president, said yester day that a five piece orchestra has been engaged and would start the mu sic just as soon as the freshmen have re moved the bleachers from the floor. He predicts that it will be one of the beet affairs of the year. The admission price will be cut to 50 cents.

The discrepancy between the time pieces in the various class rooms works a constnnt injustice to students and in structors and makes many a tardy mark for students through no fault of their own. There should be a system of elec tric bells and a schedule time for classes. Mrs. George .1. Buys of Walla Walla, has presented a bound volume of the Eugene Guard, dating from October, 1867, to June, 1875, to the University. The papers contain much valuable in formation concerning the early history of the University. We wish to speak again to those who are in the habit of absenting themselves from assembly. There are more than three hundred students now enrolled and it is the duty of each and every one of these to attend the weekly exercises on Wednesday morning. At a meeting of the Junior class Thursday it was definitely decided to put out an annual this year. This will be the first annual undertaken at the U. O. and it is hoped the students will give the Junior class their hearty support. To make an annual interesting, it should contain joshes on the students and faculty, and as this class is very wide awake, it will undoubtedly find plenty. The class is establishing a precedent Teachers Wanted Two Grade School teachers. Must have previous Grade School experience, State teachers certificate and furn ish references. Account liv ing in teacherage perfer man and wife, sisters or congenial friends. Salaries $130.00 and $115.00 per month. Nine months school begin ning September, 1922. Mail applications to J. E.

To the Editor: What do you think of a fellow who will spend pleasant evenings at a young ladies home, enjoying her hospitality in i the way of pleasant dinners or evening refreshments, and then never take her i out to any entertainments, or perhaps sneak in late ana then offer to see her home. I have attended other colleges and I say in all frankness that I have 1 never seen fellows so neglect themselves socially as we are doing. Where can ; we find more charming young ladies than we have here at the U. O.f Shame on us! Oh, Fie!

A very brilliant and splendid reccp- ^ tion was given in honor of Miss Ingram I last evening by her many friends and ! acquaintances. The reception hall was very attractively decorated with potted j ferns and palms. Indirect lighting was used creating a very pleasing effect. The fore part of the evening was de- ! voted to music and classics from Men- i delssohn, Wagner, and Paderewski 1 were greatly enjoyed by all. Miss In- i gram herself played two numbers on ! the piano after which the lights were subdued and the remainder of the even- ; ing was spent in dancing. Much unfavorable comment was made concerning Miss Ingram’s danc ing and some were heard to remark that it was a shame that she neglected her dancing for otherwise she was so talented. If she had known that Mrs. Bayh conducts advanced classes every Tuesday at Rankin Hall on West Sev enth right off Willamette she surely would have joined. Punch and wafers were served which ' concluded the evening. All declared that it was one of the most charming receptions they had ever attended and wished Miss Ingram great success in New York musical circles where she \ goes to study under the accomplished and noted Paduski.—Adv.
