FROSH TO MEET COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY NINE TODAY
Local Baseball Season Will Open This
Afternoon; Organizations to
Entertain Visitors
The local baseball season will offi- •
cially open this afternoon at 4 o ’clock
on the Cemetery Ridge diamond when :
the frosh nine tangles with the Colum- i
bia University nine of Portland. The
second game of the series will be played
tomorrow afternoon at 2:30.
“Shy” Huntington, who is handling
the yearling tossers this year, has an
nounced the following tentative lineup
for the games: Pitchers, Skinner,
Haynes, Brooks, Easterday, Brenne
man; catchers, Orr, Cook; first base,
Burton; second base, Sullivan; short
stop, Vester; third base, Jacobberger;
left field, Haynes or Brooks; center
field, King; right field, Cook, Orr.
Columbia University always puts out
fast baseball teams and reports from
the north this year indicate that the
present nine is no exception, which
should make the contests today and to
morrow interesting, for the freshmen
have a strong aggregation and are pre
pared to give a good account of them
selves.
The Columbia nine will make the
trip down from Portland today and
will be entertained at the various fra
ternity houses. Jack Myers is in charge
of their entertainment.
BUILDING NEEDS DESCRIBED
FINANCIAL CONDITION TOLD BY
PRESIDENT CAMPBELL
Gifts from Individuals Only Solution to
Problems Brought About by Big
Increase in Enrollment
Because the number of students in
the University has increased more than
30 per cent since the millage tax was
passed in 1920, the need for new build
ings on the campus cannot be met by
the present income, declared President
P. L. Campbell in a speech before the
weekly luncheon of the Eugene Cham
ber of Commerce yesterday. With the
increased attendance the maintenance
charges have crept up until nothing is
left to continue the building program,
he said.
There will be another increase of 20
per cent in the registration for next
year, predicted President Campbell, and
with the present income it will be prac
tically impossible to take care of all
of them.
“But with the tax situation as it is
in the state, there is no prospect of a
larger income," he said. “There is only
one hope and that is gifts from indi
viduals.” Without any particular ef
fort on the part of the University, al
most $200,000 has been given already
this year and approximately $220,000
was given last year. The need of at
least $1,000,000 for buildings to be con
structed within the next three years
could be raised in this way if a cam
paign were to be carried on, in the
opinion of President Campbell.
In describing the cramped conditions
in some of the buildings President
Campbell declared that only 1100 people
could get into Villard hall and at pres
ent there are over 2000 registered. The
library building, he said, was built to
accommodate 600 students, and in the
event of fire would have little chance.
He expressed his reluctance to limit the
enrollment to a greater extent than is
now done, but declared that it would be
necessary unless some other solution
were found.
He used the chart which he used be
fore a recent assembly to show the
building program of the University.
Y. W. CONVENTION FUND SWELLS
Final returns from the candy sale
conducted by the Y. W. C. A. girls at
last week’s performance of the “Shady
Lady” show a net result of about $32.
The money was added to the convention
fund being raised to pay the expenses
of the local delegate to the national
convention of the association being held
in Hot Springs, Arkansas, this month.
Scenic Wonderland of Alaska
To Be Shown at Condon Club
Exotic scenes robbed of their dis
tances—colored slides showing a world
twisted and torn into grotesque shapes
by one of the greatest volcanic dis
turbances in the history of civilization
—will feature the session of the Con
don club in the “Y” hut next Wednes
day evening when Frank I. Jones, of
Portland, delivers his illustrated lecture
on “The Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes.” Mr. Jones was the official
color photographer for the expedition
sent to Alaska in 1917 and 1919 by the
National Geographic Society to obtain
a scientific account of the explosion of
the Katmai volcano, that terrific erup
tion in the Alaska peninsula in June,
1912, which has been listed among the
12 greatest cataclysms in the history
of man.
Persons who have seen the slides
used by Mr. Jones say that it is the
best collection in the state, even but
passing the wonderful set used by
Frank Branch Riley, with which he
attracted so much attention in the
Eastern states. Press reports from
other parts of the state where the
slides have been shown say that they
rival nature in their beauty and give
a new meaning to photography and a
new conception to the art of color re
production.
The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes
is situated in the Alaskan peninsula
and is said to be a veritable desert of
volcanic craters, belching forth hot
gases and great clouds of steam. In
taking his pictures. Mr. Jones visited
the cavernous birthplace of the smokes,
approached glowing glaciers of molten
lava, and snapped pictures of vari-hued
volcanic deposits which resemble bril
liant mosaics. While investigating the
steaming valley, the party of scientists

FIRST PHI MU ALPHA
ASSEMBLY CONCERT
Work of Professional Grade;
Chorus and Orchestra
Special Features
SIEFERT RECEIVES OVATION
Trio Numbers Add Variety;
Reid Appears in Most
of Selections
A musical performance of high pro
fessional quality was given students
and faculty in Villard hall yesterday
at the first assembly concert of Phi Mu
Alpha, national music fraternity.
Bounds of applause followed each num
ber from one of the largest audiences
that has attended assembly this year.
The only disappointment was that lim
ited time made impossible the encoros
demanded by the enthusiastic reception
accorded.
The program, which was arranged for
the occasion by Leland A. Coon, Balph
Poston, and Herbert Hacker, was pleas
ing in every number, with vocal sharing
honors with instrumental music. Its
special features were the chorus and
orchestra of Phi Mu Alpha.
The opening selection, “The Sword of
Ferrara,” by the chorus, was fiery and
stirring, giving especial opportunity to
the first tenor and baritone sections
to lead with the melody. “To Thee,
Sinfonia,” which followed, is a frater
nity pledge with a pretty melody stand
ing out against well-woven harmony.
Godard Number Soothes
The orchestra’s selection “Adagio Pa
thetique” by Godard seemed to draw
the audience into a quiet mood as
French sentimental music usually does.
The listeners soon lost their placidity,
however, when Bonald Beid followed
with Liszt’s sparkling “La Begatta
Veneziana.” The audience was so
pleased with his interpretation of this
number that he encored with Mendels
sohn’s impressively martial “Scherzo
in E Minor.” Beid’s playing of this
number surmounted all obstacles of
technique and his inadequate instru
ment. He received hearty acclaim for
his playing.
“Deep Biver,” an enchanting spiritu
al air as played on violin, cello and pi
ano by Rex Underwood, Balph Hoober,
and Ronald Reid, was one of the most
beautiful selections of the program.
Siefert Wins Ovation
John B. Siefert took the audience by
storm with his two songs, “The Lost
Path” by Crist, and “Song of the
Open” by Frank La Forge. The for
mer brought out the fine lyric qualities
of his beautiful tenor voice, while the
latter offered a striking contrast, with
the singer putting in strength and
power in reaching the high notes. “The
Song of the Open” was doubly delight
ful because of the playful accompani
ment which La Forge has worked out
for the piece. Leland Coon gave an in
terpretation of this which lent power
to the number.
A change was made in the program
when the trio substituted Tsehaikow
sky’s “Waltz” from the opera “Eugene
Onegin” for the number listed. This
waltz is full of melody, reminding one
of the dance music of the Russians. Tt
lias vim as well as the charm of all
Tschaikowsky compositions and seems
to carry one into the very midst of
Russian folk.
Oriental Number Is Finale
The finale was given by the orches
tra which played two parts of a suite
by Friml. The first, a waltz, was
graceful and light. The second, “Egyp
tian Danse,” carried the audience over
to Cairo with its haunting oriental air.
The program was especially enter
taining because of the variety of music
included. Selections from American,
French, Austrian, Russian and other
composers were included, so that the
audience was given a tastj of music
from all landB. Especial credit should
be extended to Bonald Beid, who took
part in every instrumental number,
gave two solos and played most of the
accompaniments.
T. W. O. A. TEA NETS $46
Approximately $46 was cleared at
the silver tea given by the Y. W. C. A.
advisory board at the Bungalow Wed
nesday afternoon. This amonnt will be
expended in minor re furnishings for
the association rooms. The decorations
for the affair were novel and carried
ont the effect of an April shower, with
silver rain falling from a parasol sus
pended in the center of the room.
WEATHER FORECAST
FRIDAY—Fair; southwesterly winds.
CHEMISTRY ANNEX
10 COST Sit,000
ASKEDOFMTS
Large One-story Structure or
Smaller One with Three
Floors Planned
QUARTERS BADLY CRAMPED
Present Room Little Larger
Than 20 Years Ago; Limit
of Capacity Reached
An annex to the present chemistry
building, costing approximately $18,000,
will be erected if the authority request
ed by the College of Literature, Science
and the Arts is granted by the Board
of Regents. The matter will be de
cided at the next meeting of the regents
early in May.
Two plans will be presented. One
by Professor O. F. Stafford of the
chemistry department, now away on
leave of absence, provides for the build
ing of a one-story annex to the rear of
McClure hall, which would extend along
toward the back of Friendly hall and
would necessitate the moving of the
Journalism shack to some other site.
This annex would consist of a large
lecture room, to seat 300 students, a
large laboratory for freshmen in the
department, and a supply room that
would connect with the present supply
room in McClure hall.
Three-story Annex Suggested
The other plan, that of Dr. F. L.
Shinn, head of the department in the
absence of Professor Stafford, provides
for the building of a three-story annex
at the back of McClure hall, which
would not necessitate the moving of the
journalism quarters and would cost less
in construction. The ground floor would
be used for a freshman laboratory, the
second floor for analytical chemistry,
and the third for organic chemistry.
There would be room also to house
small special laboratories, as physical
chemistry, in this annex.
“The demands on the chemistry de
partment have grown by leaps and
bounds during the last four years,”
said Dr. Shinn. “In addition to the
extra burden carried by all departments
occasioned by the increase in general
campus enrollment, the chemistry de
partment has had its load increased
from other causes. The reorganization
and standardization of the pre-medical
curriculum, with its enlarged chemistry
requirements, the reorganization of the
graduate school, and the establishment
of the pre-engineering department have
made increasing demands on this de
partment.”
337 in Department
There were enrolled in the chemistry
classes during the fall term 337 stu
dents, of which number 29 were major
| students. Along with the work for
chemistry majors the department pro
vided two and one-third years’ work for
medical students, three to four years’
work for pre-engineering students, be
sides required work- for majors in phys
ics, geology, household arts and phys
ical education. The department also
handles graduate work for the M.A.
1 degree and each year has one or two
candidates for the, degree. This year
there will be ten candidates for the
B.A. degree arid two for the M.A.
The outstanding limitation of the
! department is housing. The chemistry
| department is occupying exactly the
same quarters, with the exception of
lone small room, now used for a shop,
which it occupied 20 years ago, when
the total University enrollment did not
exceed that in the department of chem
| istry at the present time.
Enrollment Cut Possible
The matter of accommodating the
: number of students in the chemistry
department is becoming serious, accord
i ing to Dr. 8hinn, and unless there is
'some relief in the housing problem the
; enrollment in chemistry will have to
i be limited and the operation of the
: pre-medical curriculum will have to be
i postponed, with the possibility of a
postponement of the engineering sched
uje also.

SCHOLARSHIP AT CHICAGO
AWARDED TO WHITAKER
Business Administration Instructor
Wins in Nation-wide Competition;
Acceptance Not Certain
Professor John R. 'Whitaker, of the i
school of business administration, has
been awarded a graduate scholarship j
in the school of commerce and adminis- j
tration of the University of Chicago.
Competition for this scholarship is na
tion-wide and extremely keen, as the
j amount is unusual. The amount is
$1400 and the tuition for any courses
he wishes to entor, which amounts to
more than $200.
The award is based on scholastic,
standing while in college and the
amount and quality of research work
done after graduation. It is given
especially for those working for a Mas
ter’s degree.
The opportunities in the field around
Chicago are very great. The Univer
sity itself has perhaps the most com
plete facilities for research work of any
college or university in the United
States. Contaot with the large indus
tries of Chicago such as the meat pack
ing and clothing plants affords an am
ple laboratory for special work.
The scholarship takes effect October
1, 1922. Mr. Whitaker does not know
whether he will be able to accept the
award or not, but he will decide defi
nitely in the near future.
‘
SHAW’S CLEOPATRA UNIQUE
TRADITIONAL CONCEPTION OF
PART IS DISCARDED
Many Campus Dramatic Favorites to
Be Seen In Productions
Next Week
The April dramatic production will
bo George Barnard Shaw’s “Caesar and
Cleopatra,” which will bo staged next
Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday
nights. Many have been under the
erroneous impression that this produc
tion was going to bo Shakespeare ’i
“Antony and Cleopatra.” Shaw has
completely departed from the conven
tional idea of Cleopatra and instead of
making her the wicked and attractive
woman she is usually thought to have
been, he hns made her a vory young
child who believes that Romans eat
little girls. She grows up into an ex
tremely shrewd woman after she meets
Caesar, however.
Much Attention to Costumes
Cleopatra will be played by Charlotte
Banfield, who was seen Inst month in
“The Merchant of Venice,” the last
Guild theatre production. Darrell Lar
sen will play Caesar; ho also was seen
in the last production and played sev
eral leading roles last term.
A groat deal of work is being put on
the costumes, all of which will be either
Egyptian or Roman. -The settings, too,
will bo artistic and will help produce
jtho Egyptian atmosphere. This play of
Shaw’s has never been produced on the
campus or in Eugene before, although
it is one of Shaw’s best comedies. Much
of the play is historical, but into it, has
been woven Shaw’s delightful humor.
Guild Favorites in Cast
The entire cast is composed of stu
dents who have played successful parts
on the Guild stage before. Claire
Keeney will play the role of Potliinus,
who rules over the head of Ptolemy,
the young brother and husband of Cleo
patra. Patateeta, who in reality ruled
Cleopatra’s part of the kingdom, will
[be played by Margaret Nelson, who
played the severe old aunt in “The
Wedding Guest.” Betti Kessi will plnv
the part of Ptolemy, who is only a child
with a consuming desire to cut off his
'sister Cleopatra’s head.

BETTER RELATIONS
BETWEEN COLLEGES
IS OBJECT OF VISIT
Bartholomew Declares Days of
Feudal Strife Between
Schools Are Past
AFFAIRS AT 0. A. C. STUDIED
Student Officials to Work in
Harmony; A. S. U. 0. Head
to Welcome Aggies
“I am glad to see the progress toward
better relations among the colleges,”
said Lyle Bartholomew, president of the
Associated Students, on his return from
O. A. C., where he Bpoke to the student
body Wednesday.
“The time has come when we are
past the feudal days of intercollegiate
strife; the Renaissance of student life
has come, and we are embarking upon
a larger and fuller career of student
enterprise. We have u duty to per
form in becoming good citizens of the
state of Oregon, and this duty can only
be performed by an absolute coopera
tion between the throe state institutions
for higher education.”
This visit to O. A. 0. was a part of
the fulfillment of a program which
Harold Readon, president of tho O. A.
C. student body, and Bartholomew
planned while attending the Seabeck
Y. M. C. A. conference last lummer.
“We both realized the benefit which
we would derive from cooperation. The
entire corps of student officials from
O. A. C. will visit our campus some
time in the latter part of May, and our
officers and student council will make
an exchange visit.” It is also planned
to bring the new student officers of
the coast colleges together at Corvallis,
immediately after the collegiate spring
elections, for round-table discussions of
college problems.
Hew Plan Is Tried
“We aim to bring the next year’s of
ficials of tho University and O. A. C.
into ns close contact as possible,” Bar
tholomew said. “We initiated the plan
this year, and part of the plan wns
carried out at the last homecoming,
when all of the Oregon officials met
tho O. A. C. officials at the train and
escorted them to the campus.
“After this last visit I have nothing
but praise for the mnnner in which our
sister institution conducts her student
affairs. Tt. wns tho privilege of Miss
Carson and mvsolf to witness tho
awarding of sweaters to the O. A. C.
basketball men by Professor Dubach,
the faculty member of the Pacific Coast
conference. TIis presentation spoech
brought out emphatically the fact that
the college’s policy admits only the
cleanest kind of sportsmanship and the
highest grade of athletics to participa
tion in intramural nr intercollegiate
athletics in which the reputation of the
school is involved.”
Courtesy Is Shown
While Miss Carson and Bartholomew
were on the O. A. C. campus, they were
shown absolutely every possible cour
tesy. Harold Readon, the student body
president, and Alma Scharpfe, secre
tary, exhibited the best of hospitality
and extended themselves to entertain
the Oregon officials during their stny
on the campus. They were shown
through the newer buildings and about
the recent additions to the campus.
Miss Carson remained as representative
of the University, for tho annual Senior
night of the college. An encouraging
sign is the fact that competition be

Mu Phi Program Delightful
Innovation of Evening Hour
With nothing lacking but a low-hang
ing moon, a now and beautiful innova
tion wan enacted on the steps of Mc
Clure hall last night when members of
the campus Mu Phi Epsilon, woman’s
musical fraternity, gave a free open-air
concert.
A large number of students and
; townspeople voiced their enthusiastic
approval of the various numbers and
the program as a whole. The stage sot
ting was the high veranda of McClure
! hall with a single electric light above
and, instead of painted scenery for a
background, the grey walls of the
building to give back the tones of voice
and instrument. Acoustically speaking,
the place answers very well for out-of
door concerts.
Madame McQrew sang with splendid
effect “O Lovely Night,” by Langdon
Ronald. She responded to the applause
with an encore number which was also
well received. Tlie songs by the quar
tet and double quartet were especially
melodious. The instrumental part of
the program was exceedingly well exe
cuted by two trios, one of violin, flute
and piano, and the other of three vio
lins. Immogcno Letcher accompanied
on the piano.
The program follows:
Trio—Violin, flute, piano — Beulah
Clark, Alberta Potter, Imogene
Letcher.
Solo—“O Lovely Night” (Langdon
Ronald)—Madame- McGrew.
Quartet—Joanna James, Leona Gregory,
Hildred Hall, Bernice Altstock.
Violin Trio—Margaret Phelps, Helen
Harper, Alberta Potter.
Double Quartet—Selection.
Other girls taking part were Mar
garet Kern, Mildred Smith, Esther Wil
son, Lucille Murton, Lucille Elrod, Mil
dred Brown, Marion Linn, Eloiae Mc
Pherson, Marion Lawrence.
