Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIV. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1922 NUMBER 59 TWO-- SEMESTER PLAN COMING UP FOR VOTE SOON Faculty to Consider, Next Month, Abandonment of Three-Term System RULE ON GRADE V ADOPTED Credits of Special Students Subject of Report Which Will Be Taken Up The question of a return to the two semester plan, agitated by a consider able number of faculty members ever since the adoption of the three-trm sys tem in war-time, will come before the faculty for discussion at the January meeting. A motion that the change back to the old plan be made was plac ed before the faculty Wednesday by Dr. H. D. Sheldon, dean of the school of education, and extensive discussion fol lowed. Dean Sheldon’s motion was made as a substitute for a proposal that the opening date of the University be left to the discretion of the schedule committee instead of being regulated automatically as at present. It had been rumored that the fac ulty would consider shortening -the Christmas vacation. This matter, how ever, aid not come up. It was decided that the rule passed in 1921, requiring the students to have 186 hours for graduation, of which 140 must be above the grade of V, is to be enforced in the following way: The rule will apply to the work done by the members of the graduating class of the year, subsequent to this legislation, that is that 140-186ths of the hours made subsequent to the legislation to be above the grade of V, provided, howev er, that the work of the entire four years shall be considered, if by so do ing the student can qualify under the rule. A report, containing rules governing the special students, was introduced and will be voted on at the next meeting. The main facts treated "by this report were that special students shall apply for admission through the registrar and the deans of the schools. Credits will not becounted towards a degree, unless the student has taken two years work as a regular student. Archivist Building Favored A resolution was adopted which will be sent to congress stating that the faculty of the University of Ofegon ap proves of the proposal to construct an archivist building at Washington, D. C., for the protection of the most im portant national documents. Dean W. 6. Hale, Dean H. D. Shel don, ProfesSor J. D. Barnett and Pro cessor E. L. Packard were elected by the faculty as the new members of the advisory committee. This committee is composed of six members, who advise the president in the making of budgets and- like'Tffatters The two hold-over members from last year, chosen by lot, are Dean E. C. Bobbins and Professor James H. Gilbert. The following students will be re commended by the faculty to the board of regents to receive degrees: Bachelor of Arts: Mary Buckley, Carmen Swanson Bothwell, Bichard Frederick Berg. Bachelor of Science in Journalism: Eugene S. Kelty. Master of Arts: Lilli Schmidli. U H- S. TO SEND DELEGATES Six instructors from the University High will go to Portland to attend the fdate Teachers’ association, which ni l hold sessions there on December 28, and 30. Mrs. Margaret B. Goodad, head of the English department, will sF>ak at one meeting on the subject Beading Interest in Junior High Schools.” UMBRELLA OWNERS ARE UNLUCKY ON RAINY DAYS Halls of Library Ring With Wails of Woe When Rain Shades Disappear After Being Left to Dry “ Take-an Umbrellaitis,” a mild form of kleptomania, that threatens to be a real epidemic, overshadows the campus if Old Man Jupiter and his watering can don’t stop getting to-gether so fre quently. I The losers of these rain shades are all for bringing the third degree into immediate practice on the offenders. After classes, especially in the halls of the library, the lamentations of the giris are pitiful to hear. “Why I left my umbrella out in the hall because it was ton wet to bring in and now it’s gone!”—And another marcel faces the elements only to meet its downfall. The reverse does not happen fre quently was lieerd on one occasion. A girl leaving a class in Villard exclaim ed gleefully—“There's my umbrella that someone took last year,” and proudly she marched forth with her once bright red parasol, now faded from a year of alien usage, clutched in her hand, oblivious to all but that the lost was found and the prodigal return ed! PLANS FOR NEW YEAR DISCUSSED BY WOMEN Program of League Includes Christmas Carols “Oh, great, exams will be over Thurs day for me, and T ’ll be able to get the two o’clock home,” says one student in a glow of anticipation, while another bemoans the fact that he has a perfect ly terrible schedule which will not per mit him to get away until Friday eve ning. But there are some who will be left on the campus to while away two weeks of vacation. “Awful,” thinks the student who is leaving, or who has never spent a vaca tion on the campus, but if records of past Christmases which have been spent on the campus are taken as a criterion, it is not too awful to have to spend one vacation here. Not this year, anyway, for the report is out from those who are staying that there are to be dances and parties, long talks before the old fra ternity fireplaces, and best of all many peaceful mornings when no gong will sound to wrest the weary sleeper from the sway of Morpheus. Reports from the women’s houses which are remaining open say that many new experiments will be perform ed in the art of culinary. Hot crab salad is to be the feature at one house, butter scotch pie will be served three times a day at another, and while it has not been definitely decided by all just what course the inventive genius of the various co-eds will bring forth, they are not a whit doubtful of their ability to sustain life in the absence of the house cook, and it is expected that some great chefs will be developed. Fellowship and Christmas cheer will prevail on the campus say the few who are staying here. While only a few houses are remaining open, they expeet to make the most of the vacation. All halls of residence will be closed to en able employees to have a vacation, and so that the halls may be cleaned during the absence of students. Some of the houses remaining open are Alpha Phi, Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Xi Delta, Fiji, Phi Delt, T. T. O., Sigma Chi, S. A. E., Phi Sigma Pi, Kappa Theta Chi. FORMER STUDENT IN CONCERT Miss Helen Harper, violinist, who was a freshman on the campus last year, was presented by the MacDowell club of Portland at a concert recently given at the Multnomah hotel. She was accompanied on the piano by her sis ter, Jean Harper. Miss Harper is a member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority and of Mu Phi Epsilon, national honorary music fraternity. Last year she played with the University orchestra. One Touch of Winter Makes All Noses Red and Hellos Frosty Massing along to an 8 o ’clock on these North Pole mornings, slipping around a frost covered turn, one hears a \ery muffled “H’lo,” and there is nothing but a red nose effectively fram ed iu a bright pink wool scarfi where e greeting seemed to come from, here is no means of identity, since 'e "earer of the scarf is completely 'U 'merged, the voice muffled beyond all i‘.cognition and the nose a tone or two °n natural color. -^nj two or three more slips and toiua farther on therais a deep bass VOite mattering a frosty “Hello” but apon close inspection it is equally dif 11 n.t to recognize the man for the Ult is pulled down across the upper lip, u n t the collar is turned up to the ears. , e n°s® in the case of the male of ne species is not even discernible. 1 lUs with the women of the campus looking like Eskimos and the men like thugs, winter in true old eastern fash ion has descended upon us. There is a strange hesitancy on the part of all to ■■et dressed early and go for long hikes. Many have shown a marked preference for the steam heated side of the class rooms. One gallant youth was heard yester day promising to take a fair lady for a good old-fashioned sleigh ride should the snow get two feet deep, but the fair lady did not appear to be counting on it. However, whether the snow, gets two feet deep or not we will all have to get together and present the Pio neer with one of those nice wooly scarfs for Christmas. The way the snow lays in his beard is almost as pathetic as the snow in the Little Match Girl’s I hair in our Hans Anderson days. GLEE CLUB TOURS TO BE ARRANGED Musical Organizations Will Visit Northwest Cities Early in Spring MEN TO TAKE LONG TRIP Girls Plan Extensive Jaunts to Cities in Southern Part of State The dates for the annual concert trips of the men’s and women’s glee clubs and the orchestra will be ar ranged during the Christmas vacation, when managers of the organizations will visit those places where concerts may be scheduled during the spring vacation. It is the usual policy of the Univer sity student body to restrict these trips to the state in order that no money may be lost. But it is planned to make this the biggest year yet, and as a con sequence various cities in Washington and Idaho will hear University talent. There is a possibility, according to the committee of musical activities, that a big musical will be staged in Portland sometime in the winter term, in which both the clubs and the orches tra will participate; but as yet nothing definite has been decided. , Meek Booking Clubs The men’s gloe club will make the most extensive tour. Jimmie Meek, manager of the Organization on his trip will stop at Ontario, Baker, LaGrande, Pendleton, The Dalles, Hood Biver and other possible eastern Oregon towns; also at Salt Lake, Boise and Caldwell, Idaho. The majority of the orchestra’s con certs, it is planned, will be given in central Washington cities. Salem and a few other Willamette valley places not yet decided on may also be visited. It was planned to stop at Astoria but because of the recent fire there, no con cert will be given. The cities which may be scheduled in Washington are Vancouver, Csntralia, Tacoma, Olym pia, Bellingham, and Hoquiam. Shir ley Edwards is the manager of the orchestra this year. The women’s glee club is planning to take its largest trip when the mombers go on a southern Oregon tour. Ted Gillenwater, manager, will visit Cottage Grove, Oakland, Boseburg, Grants Pass, Medford, Ashland, and Klamath Falls to arrange schedules.

RAILROAD OFFICIAL VISITS Charlie Duffy, Former Office Boy to Dean Lawrence, Here Wednesday Charlie Duffy, traveling passenger agent for the Northern Pacific railway in the Willamette valley, was a visitor at the University Wednesday. “I am deeply interested in Orgon,” said Mr. Duffy-, “and can truthfully say this after having visited every other college Lin the valley.” Betjveen 1908 and 1910 Duffy wastan office boy to Dean Lawrence, of tne school of architecture, in his firm at Portland. The visitor spoke of the “hello” spirit of the campus and re marked that he had invitations to sup per from various houses around the campus, and die! not know which to accept. VARIED PROGRAM FEATURES MU PHI ASSEMBLY DEBUT Entire Hour Given to Concert Work; Musicians Receive Praise for Talent SHADED TONES PLEASING Violinists’ Brilliant Playing Is Characterized by Dash and Assurance By Margaret Sheridan Mu Phi Epsilon, women’s national honorary music fraternity, again prov ed to the student body, at assembly yesterday, that it is capable of present ing a splendid and varied program. The entire assembly hour was given over to the concert and each member was en thusiastically received and encores longed for. The program was opened with Kra mer’s “Last Hour” and “Love’s Light,” written by Imogene Letcher. These were sung by Joanna James, so prano, a member of the woman’s glee club. Miss James has a clear high voice, and her interpretation of these songs was delightful. larantellc,” Drdla, was played by Alberta Potter and Margaret Phelps, violins, accompanied by Aurora Under wood. This was brilliantly done and was very well received. Liszt’s “Hun garian Rhapsodie,” number 6, was play ed by Helen Caples for the third num ber of the program. This is an exceed ingly difficult and heavy thing, and Miss Caples gave it with dash and as surance, paying special attention to the shadings and tones of the composition. Florence Garrett, Leona Gregory and Bernice Altstock sang “Where My Car avan Has Rested,” which proved to be one of the most popular numbers of the program. The song is usually giv en as a solo, and the trio version of it s unusual and very attractive. Tschai kowsky’s “Waltz of the Flowers” from his Nutcracker’s Suite, was given by Alberta Potter, violin, Lora Teshner, cello and Aurora Underwood, piano. This is always a favorite number and is considered one of the best representa tives of the modern school of music. Mrs. Underwood has been studying for (the past year in New York under Ethel iNewcomb and Edwin Hughes, and her playing had more brilliance and charm tlian usual, if that is possible. The Mu Phi Epsilon chorus, compos fed of Mrs. C. A. E. Whitton, Mrs. iW. M. Cash, Mrs A. C. Dixon, Florence Garrett, Marvel Skeels, Bernice Alt stock, Mildred Brown, Leona Gregory, Hildred Hall, Margaret Phelps and Eloise McPherson sang “Dreaming,” Shelling, and “When a Maid Comes Knocking at Your Heart,” Friml. Both songs showed the ability of the chorus, and they were especially pleasing be cause of the freshness and spontaneity of the voices. The chorus was trained by Madame Rose McGrew, of the school of music. As an encore the Mu Phi Epsilon song was sung by all the mem bers of the organization. Accompanists for the solos and chor us of the concert were Aurora Under wood and Imogene Letcher. MORE COURSES IN ART PLANNED FOR FUTURE Only Seniors May Study Mural Decora tion and Stained Glass; Art Anat omy To Be Made Compulsory Professor Alfred H. Schroff of the fechool of architecture and the allied arts is opening two classes for the win ter term which, although listed in the regular schedule, have not been given for some time. A course in mural decoration and stained glass, which was last given two years ago is to be offered. Only seniors in the department are eligible for this course. The problem of the class is to be the actual decoration of the new art building. - The students are to de sign and execute the mural paintings which are planned for the school. The stained glass windows are to be made from designs selected from those sub mitted by students of this class. The exact placing of the mural decorations and the stained glass windows of the building has not yet been decided up on, Professor Schroff said. The dates of meeting are yet to be arranged. Six hours laboratory will be held each week in mural painting and design, for which two hours credit will be given. The other class offered by Professor Schroff is art anatomy. This work is to be compulsory for all art students in life or modelling classes.

SCROLL AND SCRIPT ELECTS THREE MEMBERS Organization Pledges on Basis of Mor tar Board Standards'of Scholarship and Activities Just before assembly yesterday morn ing, Scroll and Script pledged Margar et Jackson, Inez King and Bernice Altstock to membership in the organi zation. The procession of members wearing caps and gowns, marched from the Ad ministration building to the library steps, where pledging took place, and from thence to the assembly. Scroll and Script has received much information the last few days, pertain ing to Mortar Board and these three new pledges will form a part of the group petitioning the latter organiza tion. In order to conform to Mortar Board’s standards, Scroll and Script now elects its members on a different basis, requiring an average scholarship above a three, and lays stress on activ ities.

FIRST POP CONCERT OF YEAR GIVEN IN VILLARD Aurora Underwood Is Soloist on Orchestra Program The “pop” concert which the Univer sity orchestra gave last night, with Au rora Underwood, soloist, was, accord ing to the comments of everyone thero, a truly artistic and enjoyable perform ance. Aurora Underwood made her first public appearance, since her return from New York, with the orchestra, playing a Chopin group, Waltz in A flat, Nocturne in B flat and Ballade in A flat. Mrs. Underwood played one of Friedman’s waltzes. In all her num bers Mrs. Underwood showed marvel ous technique, and understanding of the compositions, and her playing was marked with brilliance and smoothness. The program was opened with Offen bach ’s Overture, Orpheus in the Under world, played by fhe orchestra. This was followed by “Ballet Suite,” writ ten by Bameau and orchestrated by Felix Mottl. The Suite has three parts, Minuet, Musette^ Tamboufin, all of which are exceedingly beautiful, and are characterized by a certain whimsi calness and charm. The program was completed with Brahm’s Hungarian Dances, numbers 5 and 6, which are both bright and dash ing and were playe.d with enthusiasm and life. The response of the orches tra to the slightest movement of the director, Bex Underwood, was quite noticeable and helped to make the con cert enjoyable. ALL COUNTIES EXCEPT ONE ARE REPRESENTED Multnomah Leads With Lane Second; Curry Has Two Representatives; Student Average Increases In the 34 counties of the state thero is only rne that is not represented in the total registration of 2189 students. Last year Jefferson county sent one man to the University but this year it has not a single representative. Mulnomah county shows the greatest increase, both in numbers and in per centage, of students this year as com pared with the figures last year. In the ''all term of last year 492 students w*re registered from Multnonnh coun tv v-iile this year there is a total of 581. Following close in line is Lane county with a registration of 473 stu dents last year as compared with 502 tins year. Near the end of the list is Curry, the coast county. Last year it had only one representative but this year there are two enrolled from there. SENIOR RECORD CHECKED Any senior, who is not certain that his requirements for graduation are (dear should see the recording clerk, window 7, in the Administration build ing between Friday, December 15 and Friday, December 22, and have his re cord gone over. All of the summaries and transcripts of the seniors have been checked by the Irecording clerk, so any expecting to ■graduate this year can be told just iwhat subjects, if any, he lacks. This will give an opportunity to complete the work during the next two terms. JOBS OPEN FOR GIRLS NOW Of late the Y. W. C. A. employment bureau has received a number of calls for girls to do housework over the Christmas vacation. These are not per manent positions but are offered mere ly to take the places of those girls who want to go home over the holi days. They will be given back later to the girls who work for tfieir room and board. HERE NEXT FUEL Game With Vandals Assured I by Graduate Manager When Backed by Council THREE GAMES ON HAYWARD 0. A. C. Meets Varsity Nov. 23 and Pacific Team' Comes October 13 Oregon and the Idaho Vandals, look ed upon as one of the strongest teams in the Northwest, for next year will clash on Hayward field on October 27, according to an announcement made yesterday by Jack Benefiel, graduate manager. This gives the students two big campus games next fall, the Var sity meeting the Aggies on Hayward gridiron November 24. At the recent Pacific Coast confer ence held in Seattle only one important gamo was allowed the Oregon team at home, although eight games were on the schedule. Benefiel, who attended the conference in behalf of Oregon pro tested against this, asking that the Ida ho game be allowed to Eugene. Coach Matthews of Idaho demurred against this and asked instead that the game be played at Moscow, the home of the Vandals, or at Portland or Pendleton. The site for the game, which is to be played October 27, was undecided when the conference closed, and Bene fiel and Matthews parted with the un derstanding that Benefiel would put the matter up to the Oregon executive coun cil as soon as he returned home. The council met Wednesday and af ter considering expenses, and the dis satisfaction expressed by local fans overM,the lack of home games, decided that no foreign site would be accept able. This practically insures the game for the Oregon campus as Benefiel ex pects the Idaho officials to agree. The addition of this game to the local schedule makes a total of three contests to be played here. The first is with Pacific University October 13, the Idaho game on October 27 comes second, and third is the annual battle with O. A. C. which comes November 24. Two Games Experiment According to Beneflel the idea of having two major contests in Eugene is an experiment and the success of both games financially will probably insure fuller home schedules for Oregon in the future. He says, “Local fans, both students and townspeople must realize the importance of the experiment for it will decide whether or not Eugene is a foetball town. The Idaho contest is on the same day as the California Washington State game in Portland, which will bo a big drawing card, so all Oregon supporters must advertise the local game as much as possible.” The Idaho contest will be a crucial one for Oregon. This year the Var sity was able to beat the Vandals by the small score of 3 to 0, a place kick winning the game. Oregon’s team will pWbably not be so strong next year, while the Idaho men will be materially strengthened by the addition of Bob Fitzke, considered one of the best kick ers on the coast who was ineligible this year. Idaho has an added advantage in that they have no freshman ineli gibility rules and many good varsity men are recruited from the frosh ranks. CO-OP DOES SPLENDID BUSINESS DURING YEAR Inventory of Stock Is Scheduled for Christmas Vacation; Payment Will Be Made on Debt A complete inventory of the Co-op stock will be made during Christmas vacation, according to Paul Sayre, pres ident of the board of directors, who states that business has been better this year than any time since the organ ization of the Co-op. At the time of incorporation, $5,000 was borowed from the banks and the rest of the capital was obtained from a holding company composed of faculty members. Pay ment will be made on the debt this year and it is planned that the entire amount will be met within the next five years. Changes have been made in the board of directors due to the fact that Nel , son English, former president, Professor T. J. Bolitho and Thomas Hughes did not return to the campus this term. To fill the vacancies Charles Lamb, Ed Tapfer and Professor J. H. Gilbert were elected. The membership of the board is as follows: seniors, Hal Simpson, Charles Lamb; juniors, Jack Meyers, Paul Sayre; sophomore, Ed Tapfer; faculty, Dean J. F. Bovard and Professor J. H. Gilbert.
