NUMBER 58 MU PHI FEATURES MUSICAL PROGRAM AT LAST ASSEMBLY Modern and Romantic Pieces Selected by Honorary for This Morning CONCERT IS ANNUAL EVENT Composition by Miss Letcher Will Be Sung by Soprano in Woman’s Building A program composed of modern and romantie compositions will be given by Mu Phi Epsilon, women’s national hon orary music fraternity, at the assembly in the Woman’s building this morning. Concerts of this kind are given by Mu Phi Epsilon once a year, and are looked forward to with great pleasure. The numbers are both vocal and instrumental. Joanna James, soprano, is to open the program with Kramer’s Last Hour and Imogene Letcher’s “Love’s Light.” Miss Letcher, a senior in the school of music, wrote both the words and music of “Love’s Light.” It is one of her most recent compositions. “Tarantelle” Brilliant “Tarantelle,” Drdla, a violin duet, will be played by Alberta Potter and Mar garet Phelps. Tarantelle is a brilliant light thing and is probably one of the best known numbers on the program. The heaviest part of the program is Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsodic, No. 6, which will be played by Helen Caples. Bernice Altstock will sing “Where My Caravan Has Bested,” accompanied by Florence Garrett and Leona Gregory. Story Is Told Perhaps the most beautiful number on the program is the “Waltz of the Flow ers,” from Tschaikowsky’s Nutcracker Suite. The story of the Nutcracker Suite concerns a small Bussian girl who on Christmas eve is given a nutcracker for a present. She is quite charmed with it, and is very sorrowful when her two bro thers broke it. That night she dreams that the Christmas tree comes to life and all the toys and ornaments on it dance wiih her. It is to personify part of her dream that the Waltz of the Flowers was j written. It will be played by Alberta Potter, violin, Aurora Underwood, piano, and Lora Teshner, cello. Chorus Will Sing The program is completed by two songs which will be sung by the Mu Phi Epsilon chorus; “Dreaming,” Shelling, and “When a Maid Comes Knocking at Your Heart,” Friml. Both of these songs are of a rather light nature and will show the ability of the chorus to a great advantage. The chorus is being trained hv Madame Bose McGrew, of the school of music, and is composed of Mrs. C. A. E. Whitton, Mrs. A. C. Dixon, Mrs. W. M. Cash, Florence 6arrett, Marvel Skeels, Bernice Altstock, Mildred Brown, Leona Gregory, Hildred Hall, Margaret Phelps, and Eloise McPherson. Accompanists for the solos and chorus of the concert are Aurora Underwood and Imogene Letcher. HELLO DAY AT WASHINGTON University of Washington—(P. I. N.

SCANDAL SHEET LOOMS NEARER UNEXPECTED PLEASUEES AWAIT BABES AFTER CHRISTMAS Consolation for Grades Found in Poor Array of Numerals and Flunks of Others There was a grade sheet came out fair to see; Names of our classmates, alphabetic ally. Some little talk awhile of me and thee— And then there was no more of thee and me! It’s hard to believe for old-time per users of the scathing scandal columns, that there are students on the campus who have never known the excruciat ing experience of opening with tremb ling fingers down O, P, Q, R, S,—Sm— Smith, Mary, etc., to find an unimpos ing and unflattering array of numer als after abbreviated names of enigmat ic courses dimly remembered, or tried to explain to a kindly but insistant daddy the relative value of I and F. The poor unsuspecting are the fresh men. Many there are who will see their names for the first time in print thus and will avoid all publicity there after. A goodly number will feel, and not altogether vicariously, the sudden drop of ego to zero. There is one thing, however, which is compensation. The first moments will be hard but after getting used to the idea of having made pretty poor grades there are about 1,999 names to look at and the flunks restore one’s equanimity in a world where a grade sheet comes out at Christmas time. i MOTHER GROUP’ STATUE IS NEAR COMPLETION Art Work to Be Put in Niche Between Residence Halls Maternal love guided by knowledge and experience, daring of youth sof tened by the uncertainty of maiden hood, an abundance of hope, trust and faith found only in the heart of the young, all are to be found in a plaster model of a Mother Group which stands in the art studio. The group is the work of Avard Fairbanks, well known campus sculptor, who intends to make a reproduction of the mother, infant and daughter in Tennessee marble or pink granite, after which it will be placed near the Woman ’sNiuilding. Work on the model has been in pro gress for more than a year but has not been pressed, owing to the lack of incentive necessary to hasten it to com pletion, according to the designer. It is intended to be used as a gift to the University, but as yet no one has of fered to present the completed work to the institution. “The mother is in the background,” said Mr. Fairbanks in describing the group. “She is the strength and moral support of the girl. She stands firm footed and is far-seeing. All her hopes are entered in the hopes of her daugh ter, in whom she lives 'igain. “The daughter is impelled by some fine instinct,” he continued, “not hav ing known bitter experience. She rises on tiptoe, eagerly seeking the higher education before her. The thrills and the ambition of youth draw her into balanced position. A single influence to right or left might stray her, or change her course. But knowledge and the ideals of motherhood are on guard that, she may progress ’ toward a life of beauty and happiness.” It is very appropriate that this, beau tiful work of art should be placed at the entrance to the Woman’s building, (Continued on page three.) Galoshes Flap in Foolish Fad; Rhymster Sees Revolt by Men By T.lwlr Fashions that pass for a foolish fad; styles that cause reformers pain; galosh es and all; each have had origin in wo men ’s practical brain. The sufferagette our dads assailed; caused a riot and was promptly jailed; then hunger-struck. Kindly note that she got what she wanted, the right to 'ote. Hair was long and coiffeurs took too darn much time; a startled look in a barber’s window—the answer was there a woman went home and bobbed her tair; Skirts were dragging on the ground—they cramped her style and of ten wound about her feet. The skirts were sheared and much open-work hos '°ry appeared. School-girl complexions were hard to keep, color from boxes ’’ s handy and cheap. Ears got cold, '“appeared from sight as cootie garages were built overnight. When woman gets a. Practical hunch, a new fad happens— right now—at once! , Wl,,eh hrings us down to the present ' : Galoshes flap, there’s the deuce pay! Reformers rave, nearsighted 1 1 r! They cannot see hat fads are 003 *n woman’s hands to put an end to hoodooism, not to spend cold hard cash for nothing gained. Poor dears! Every time it rained rubbers were lost, there were shoes to buy, something was needed to keep them dry. A Montgomery Ward or Sears Roebuck catalog gave an.idea that stuck. . . .“Arc tic Shoes,” some woman read, “A dollar ninety-eight prepaid.” “Oh,” she sighed, “how nice they’d be, if they weren’t so hopelessly bour geoise.” Like a flash she had an inspiration and galoshes spread across the nation. Partly unbuckled, turned down af the tops, they’re worn to church, to parties and hops. There’s no longer need for a slipner-bag. Galoshes will stay, like the powder rag. Woman's vote left man with a thirst but she has repaid. With the first flap of galosh he seized the idea; and now, look around, observe anti see; he’s adop ted the hunch. He too is saved from his hoodoo. Long has he raved; called on strange idols; in fact he has cursed, whenever a refractory shoe-lacing burst. (Continued on page three.) FIRST YEAR MAN WINS PENTATHLON WITH HO SCORE ; Eugene Richmond Nears Mark j Set by Rockhey in Tests Held Last Year SHOWING IS HELD GOOD Instructors Pleased But Think Men Are Lax in Training For Gym Events The physical ability pentathlon for freshmen and sophomore men ended for the present term yesterday noon when 35 men successfully completed the tests. This number brings the total of men who have passed the tests this term to 123. Eugene Richmond, a freshman in the school of physical education made 119 points in the tests yesterday, which gives him highest honors for the pre sent year. Pentathlon Is Voluntary The pentathlon just finished is vol untary on the part of the students tak ing it. The system was devised last year by Professor H. A. Scott, director of the school of physical education, and consists of the high jump, bar vault, 2 lap run, rope climb and a 100 yard swim. One must pass every require ment to pass the test, and the ability with which one passes is denoted by a scoring system. At least 25 points in all events must be made. One benefit derived from the success ful completion of this test is the right to choose any sport desired in gym work. According to Professor Scott, it is the aim of the department to make all physically fit, and it is considered that one who passes the requirements of the P. E. test is fit. In other words he continued, the ideal strived for by the department officials is to have all complete this test. While the showing of the students taking the pentathlon yesterday prov ed very satisfactory to the instructors in the department, they lament the fact that more did not practice the different events with the passing of the test in view. “Five minutes a day, in each event,” said Professor Scott, “would have made it possible for a great many more to have made the requirements. Mvself, and the other instructors are only too willing to coach anyone at any time, and it is hoped that in the future more will take the advantages offered.” High Scores Made ' Of the 35 taking the tests yesterday, 11 passed with a score of 60 or above This score is considered very good, ac cording to the instructors. The men besides Eugene Richmond were Wade Rutherford, 81 points; Jean F. DuPaul, 76; Robert Williamson, 75; M. L. Youngs, 71; M. Byers, 69; W. Carroll Ford, 66; Orville Tuning, 66; Francis E. Jacobs, 65; Ted Purvine, 61; Milton O. Peterson, 60 and Paul H. Carey, 60. In the different events, the winner with his time and score was as follows: Rope climb: Eugene Richmond, 9 sec onds for 29 points. High jump: Harry Proctor, 5 ft. 1 in., for 33 points. Wade Rutherford took first in both the run and the swim with a time of 23 seconds for 31 points for the run and 1 min. 25 sec. for 23 points for the swim. BOOK PRINTED IN 1867 • GIVEN TO UNIVERSITY Old English “'dition of Cowley’s Poems Presented by J. C. Zinsen, Washington Farmer A folio volume of the poems of Ab raham Cowley has been pesented the University library by J. C. Zinser, pro prietor of the Cascade Terrade Farm, Washington.

Of some collateral interest are the youthful scribblings on the fly leaves, made June 14, 1702, in the reign of Queen Anne. “The book came into my hands with loose covers. It was rebound by a high school boy, grandson and name sake of General Stephen A. Hurlburt, who died in Lima, as our minister to Peru.” PLEDGING ANNOUNCED Kappa Delta Phi announces the pled ging of George Bukowsky, of Portland. COUNCIL POSITION MONT, GRIM IS TO LEAVE COLLEGE Successor Will Be Chosen By Old Members Before Close of Fall Term’s Work VENDING TO BE SUPERVISED Report of Conference Meeting Is Received; Next Football Schedule Authorized The resignation of Dutch Gram from his position as junior man on the execu tive council was accepted at a regular I meeting of the council last night. It will take effect at the end of this term. Gram was elected last spring to fill the two year term, but will leave the University to attend college in the east following examinations. According to the constitution any va cancy occurring on the executive council shall be filled by the remaining members. A committee was appointed to submit names and {he council will make the se lection of a successor at a specified meet ing to be held within a few days. Sale to Be Postponed It was decided that in the future any organization or individual wishing to vend or conduct a selling campaign on the campus should secure permission from the executive council. The council pointed to a rule forbiddiny any selling on days of football games but disavowed any desire to restrict all such selling. The request of the Sculpture club that its members be allowed to sell envelope stickers in the form of an Oregon seal Thursday was considered and it was de cided to ask the organization to postpone its sale until after Christmas in order that it might not conflict with the sale of Red Cross stamps in any way. The report of the ^athletic representa tives. Professor H. C. Howe and Grad uate Manager Benefiel on the meeting of the conference in Seattle was received. The schedule for the coming football season as it has been printed was ac cepted by the council. Directory to Be Printed The council decided to publish a stu dent directory, in which would be printed the name, address, phone number, major subject and other information concerning every student in the University. The directories will be in the form of small booklets and will be sold among the stu dents and living organizations. The following appointments to activ ities committees were authorized by the council: minor sports, Lyle Palmer, Leon Culbertson; track, Elmer Payne, alumni member. The awarding of the football letters and blankets, which has been announced, was given official sanction by the council.

In this way, with several working on the team more material will be at hand, according to Miss Largent. EXAMS BEGIN IN SIX DAYS Fate of Many Students Determined by the Finals I The end is near! This is the senti ment of many students who realize that I the term examinations are but six days off. Work must be done in earnest dur i ing the next few days in order to avoid ; the dire results which exams bring in their wake. It is only too often that i the finals decide the fate of someone : who has been on the dividing line all term. The reference rooms of the library are becoming crowded with the usual pre-examination rush and typewriters are clicking busily under the stress imposed by short stories and term pa pers. 9 BALL TICKETS NOW FOR SALE BOB GORDON’S ORCHESTRA WTT.T. FURNISH MUSIC Dainty Programs and Long Dances to Feature Christmas Hop at Multnomah Hotel Tickets for the Christmas College Ball which is being given in Portland at the Multnomah hotel Tuesday eve ning, December 26, may now be obtain ed at the Co-op, according to Edwina Richen, chairman for the ticket sale. They may also be bought at the door of the dancing rooms, she states. In former years programs have not been provided, but it was decided that it simplified matters for many of those attending, so dainty white programs with black lettering have been made. .Dancing will last irom 8:30 until 12 o’clock and those who have other engagements for earlier in the evening may attend later. There will be twelve dances, two extras and as many more dances as there is time. They are to be long dances, the committee in charge promises. Bob Gordon’s orchestras, each of five pieces will play for the dancers who will occupy the two ball rooms and the tea-rooms of the hotel. The sixty-four patrons and patron esses are taking a great interest in the affair which promises to be one of the largest events of the holidays. The tickets are being sold for $1.50 per couple or 75 cents for a single tick et. Proceeds from the affair are to go to the Women’s League of the Uni versity which is giving the dance. They will turn part of the sum to their For eign Scholarship fund. POP CONCERT TONIGHT IS FIRST OF SEASON Loss of Players Is Declared Director’s Trouble Rex Underwood, director of the Uni versity orchestra, which will give its first “pop” concert this evening, con siders some of the most difficult things in conducting an orchestra to be the losing of the old players and initiating new ones^ into the ways of orchestras and orchestra playing. “Losing members of the orchestra,” said Mr. Underwood, “means that it is strong in some parts and weak in oth ers, and this often necessitates an en tire re-arranging of that part of the orchestra.” Some of the people who make the orchestra have had little ex perience, other than that obtained on high school orchestras, and it is neces sary for the director of the orchestra to whip them into shape so that they will be able to play compositions which are in the repertoire of every symphony orchestra. This is helped out to a cer tain extent by the fact that usually about 75 per cent of the more exper ienced people return and are able to carry on the work, until the rest be come accustomed to it. une ot tne strong parts ot tne uni versity orchestra, Mr Underwood said, has always been th’e stringed instru ments “That is a very reliable and strong section,” said Mr Underwood, “and it carries the brunt of things. But of course that is true of any orchestra. Our stringed instruments are one of the reasons for the success we have had for it is due to the excellent foundation we have to build on. We have also been very fortunate in our brass instru ments.” The orchestra gives three “pop” con certs a year, in addition to the big home concert and the trip, which will be during the spring vacation. The pro gram for each of these concerts is dif ferent, entails more work, all of which is done at the rehearsals which are held only twice a week, each lasting an hour and a half. In addition to this the orchestra also plays at least three times a year at assemblies. For the “pop” concerts the orchestra does not endeavor to give a completely finished and polished peformanee, but it does try to give a good substantial program made up of the things which every ono should know and which will go towards giving students a knowledge of the right kind of orchestral liter ature. “With the inexperienced and raw material,” Mr. Underwood said, “we have the backbone of the orchestra, professional and semi-professional play ers. Lora Teshner, cello, has done ly ceum and Chautauqua work, Alberta Potter has a fund of experience, and so has Herbert Hacker. Beulah Clark, flute, is on a lyceum circuit now and will be back some time during the spring quartet to play with the orches tra.” Another reason Mr. Underwood gave for the success of the orchestra is the way the members work. “They are interested in it,” he declared. “They don’t fool; are intelligent, and they are remarkably quick to grasp an idea when it is presented to them, without having to be told several times.

ALL-STAB DONUT TEAM SELECTED BT VARSITY MEN Kappa Sigs Get Entire Squad on Two Mythical Quintets Chosen Last Night PLAYERS GOOD MATERIAL Positions in Regular Line-Ups Will Be Sought by Six Out of Ten Men Named By Leon Byrne Last night just before the regular Varsity turnout the seven basketball lettermen who are out for this year’s team chose a first and second all-star do-nut squad. With the exception that five Kappa Sigs, the entire team, plac ed on either the first or second squad, the honors were fairly well distributed among the different houses. The choice of the lettermen was: First team Second team Fraser .F. Gunther Carson .F. Bryant Glosser .C. Gowans Bliss .G. Leake Schafer .G. Kelly Honorable mention was given to Stendal, Sigma Nu forward; Hobson, Phi Delt forward; Wright, Phi Delt forward; Watson, Phi Delt guard; Mc Millan, Fiji center; Staley, Fiji for ward; Murray, Oregon Club forward and Haynes, Beta center. On the first team, Fraser, Gosser and Bliss are members of the championship Kappa Sig team. “Mongo” Fraser, first among the forwards. Carson, the other forward, although he did not get into the semi-finals, played a rare brand of basketball for the A. T. O. five when they were in action. Gosser Considered Good Gosser, center of the Kappa Sig team was pieked for his ability to play a 5 man game, in other words, hiB team work. While he is not fast, his play ing was one of the deciding factors in winning the intramural championship for his team. The two guards, Bliss of the Kappa Sigs and Schafer of the Fiji team, play ed basketball in varsity manner. Both men are small in stature but loom up threateningly large when their basket is menaced. Although a clean player, Bliss is a fighter through and through. Schafer, the diminutive Fiji, was rated as one of the fastest men in the lea gue this year. If he were able to get his hands on the ball he was usually able to talie it the whole length of the floor, through the entire opposing team. in the second team, Gunther played for the Oregon Club and Bryant was one of the mainstays of the Kappa Sig team. Gowans was center for the Delta, Leake played for the Kappa Sigs and Kelly for the Fijis. Have Chance for Varsity To illustrate the quality of some of the do-nut teams this year, six of the above men are contending or will con tend for places on the varsity, and ten of those mentioned are out for the Frosh squad. The men who have a chance at the varsity are Fraser, Bliss Schafer, Wright and Haynes. Of the frosh, Carson, Gosser, Gunther, Bryant, Leake, Kelly, Stendal, Hobson, Watson and Muray are contending for places on the frosh team. Coach Bohler was asked to pick an all-Btar do-nut team but he declined, saying that the easiest way to choose the best five men was to take the cham pionship team as it was and call it the All-stars. How nearly this statement was true is shown by the fact that the entire Kappa Sig team did place on the honor lists. CORRECTIVE WORK IS AIM Physical Education Director Points Out Function of Exercise The function of the corrective classes in the physical education department is to correct remedial defects, rather than to teach men assigned to restricted ex ercises how to play games, states Prof. I Harry A. Scott, director of the physi : cal education department, who writes | that a reporter recently misunderstood a statement he made. I “It is the function of the corrective | classes to correct remedial defects. I j consider this function as being very important,” said Professor Scott. ; “However, due to lack of time, it is im ; possible for us to correct many present ; defects. What we try to do in cases ; of this kind is to make the student | acquainted with a suitable corrective program, and at the same time teach him some receative activity. The cor rective program should be followed ev ery day of the year if results are to be expected. Combined with the recrea tive program, the load is considerably lightened.”
