Leader of Orchestra WilJ Direct Concert Rex Underwood University Orchestra Is Built from Mixed Players Four yearse ago last summer, Dean John J. Landsbury, dean of the Uni versity school of music, went to Chi cago in search of a man to take charge tof the violin department of the school. (There he found a man so disgusted with the grind and general atmosphere life />f a concert artist that he was about to give it up and go into business. He (persuaded him to come to Eugene and take over the violin department. The man was Bex Underwood, violinist who had received extravagant press notices on the European continent, in England and the United States. Arrived at Eugene, Mr. Underwood found one of his duties to be the direc tion of the University orchestra. This was much to his liking for he had (worked under great German directors and knew and liked the handling of a large orchestra. He took charge of the turnout of about 25 musicians, some good, some bad) and most indifferent, with enthusiasm and much optimism, and began the shaping of his- ideal— (a symphony. He did not succeed the first year—but he did evolve the first orchestra the campus ever had. In the spring the 'organization was so developed that it made its first off the campus tour and came back having made friends and admirers of most of the inhabitants of Coos Bay towns. Later in the spring the orchestra part of the University music festival was hailed as one of its main attractions. The following year prospects were better. Most of the members on whom Mr. Underwood depended were back in school and good new material was 'added, some of it attracted by the rep utation of the orchestra. Then it was that the director began to see his idea taking form. And so the work has gone on. Last year, Mr. Underwood felt for the first time that the organization could be called a symphony orchestra, and his opinion was vindicated in every town in which concerts were given on the eastern tour. One of the reasons for Mr. Under wood’s success has been the high degree lot cooperation he obtains from the or (Continued on page three.) Jerry and Jenny To Jump and Jig At Jolly Junior Jazz Jinx “Have you seen 63?” “No but I’d like to find 78. Some one told me she was wearing a green hat with a red feather.” “Well, I’ll park here by the steps and aT’they pass I’ll flash the number and I may get results.” Just a few1 of the many episodes that have featured the lottery ordeal of the junior class. Hide the thimble, hunt ing for the needle in the haystack, are children’s play compared to finding the right partner for the annual Jinx which will be run off this evening in the men’s gym under the auspices of Noise and Tun high bozos of the Gloom Chasers Union. “A Night in Paris,” “Six days on the Sahara desert without food or water” don’t begin to afford the joy that will be had by the Knights and Ladies of ’24 when they convene for the stumb ling fest at the gym. It is to be a great slam-bang with leading characters wfrom all parts of the universe. It will be rough, and football training will be a good asset for any who attend the ballyhoo. For those who know little of the gridiron game the writer suggests that they read “Spikem’s Football Ethics’’’ or “How to keep your temper under difficulties.” The costumes for the occasion will be many and varied. The more freakish they are, the better they will get by. Bad men of the West will shoot the lights out and tweek the pigtail of the Chinese cooks and laundrymen. Mexi can Yaqueros and senoritas wiil flit nimbly about the floor, while off in some corner a terrible Turk will scowl at the throng from under a stolen bed >sheet. Picturesque costumes of colonial days as well as rough-neck garb of today will be seen at the jig. There will be High land lassies and colored gemmen. Ara bian sheiks in multicolored bathrobes and blankets will glide mysteriously about. In fact most every nation will be represented. Hawaii may not be among those present as this is a bad time of year to wear the grass apparel. So it is assured that the party will go over like a landslide. Nothing has been neglected by the committee in pre paring for a blowout of titanic dimen sions. The order is come early and look your worst. The main thing to re member is to snare the partner as soon as possible. HOUSING PROBLEM FOR RICH SCHOOL VISITORS SOLVED Delegates to Conference Will Be Cared for by Campus Organizations ROOMS PROVIDED FOR ALL Preppers from Many Parts of State to Find Quarters Ready for Them The annual problem of housing the out-of-town delegates to the conference of high school officials, to be held here February 2 and 3, has apparently been solved by action taken at a recent meeting of the heads of student organ izations, according to John MacGregor, president ot.the A. S. U. O. For the most part, high school representatives will be given rooms in fraternities and sororities as in previous years. Other provisions have beeh made to care for those not getting rooms with living or ganizations. “Student organizations have once flnore risen to the occasion,” MacGregor Remarked yesterday afternoon. “They consider it is not only a duty "but a privilege to entertain presidents, sec retaries and editors from the various Secondary schools throughout the state, <and will do all they can to make the coming convention a success.” Booms for All It is thought .that most of the stu dents can be taken care of in the men’s 'and women’s houses, but if not, present tentative arrangements will be comple ted which infill secure rooms for the re mainder in private homes. Rent for these outside rooms will be paid by (the associated students, according to MacGregor, who also said some means (would be taken to raise the necessary money so that it would not need to come out of the treasury of the A. 8. U. O. While no definite plans have been made as yet, it is thought by those in authority that a “college night” will be arranged for that will clear the hecessary fund for the body. “Frank Carter, who did such an ex cellent piece of work as registrar at the last homecoming, will have charge of the registration of the preppers,” said MacGregor. “He was mighty efficient 'in the last job, and we are expecting good work from him when our high /school visitors arrive. Registration will take place in the administration build ing.” Barge Delegation Expected “ Aproximately 70 letters have been received already from high school boys and girls who expect to come,” was MacGregor’s estimate. “ This indicates that a large delegation will be on hand at the annual get-together of secondary school heads. Another interesting fea ture the letters so far tend to show is that the girls will likely outnumber the ,boys. This has not often been the case ;in past years. There has been consid erable fluctuation, sometimes with the girls in the lead, but oftener with the boys ahead.” • Out-of-town delegates will receive their meals at the same place they have their rooms, except for a banquet Fri day night and a luncheon Saturday noon. The banquet will he held at Hendricks hall, and all preppers are Invited. The Saturday luncheon will be under the auspices of the Women’s League, but will not include the vis iting boys. GIRL SHARPSHOOTERS TO APPEAR IN PRINT Women Participating in Rifle Practice to Be Featured in Oregana and Other Publications A picture of all girls who have been (participating in rifle pratice at the R. O. T. C. barracks is desired by the mil itary department, and all girls are ask I ed to report on the steps of the Wo Iman’s building this afternoon at 3 o’ clock, in regular gym costumes. The military department will provide a rifle for each girl. The picture will be used in the Ore j'gana, and possibly for other publica tions, so Lieutenant Knowles, in charge /of girls’ rifle practice, urges all who can, to be present. Teams composed of those who make the best showing, both in attendance and in accuracy, will be picked soon" 'states Lieutenant Knowles. Several matches with other schools will be ar ranged. "■pledging is announced Delta Theta Phi announces the pled ging of William Daly and Lloyd Crow both of Eugene. FINANCIAL STATUS OF UNIVERSITY IS ASSEMBLY TOPIC President Campbell Outlines Gift Campaign Methods of Eastern Colleges OREGON STATISTICS GIVEN State Held Able to Support Ten Million Dollar Drive for Funds Tlie financial status of the University of Oregon as compared with that of fourteen other educational institutions of the country was outlined by Presi dent P. L.'Campbell, who addressed the assembly yesterday on his recent sur (vey of these colleges and universities in relation to Oregon’s ten million dol lar gift campaign. The president presented recent statis ! tisc of the resources of the state, and |n consideration of these, he does not /believe that the goal of the present drive is at all out of proportion. Oregon has a larger area than all of -the New England states together, and /but. only 800,000 population as compar ted with 20,000,000 in the eastern group. There are over 8,000,000 acres of farm lands in the state and more than 493 [billion feet of standing timber, and an [infinity of other valuable resources. Oregon people spent last year, accord ing to figures quoted by President Campbell, something over $85,000,000 on automobiles, including tires, acces sories and upkeep; $16,000,000 in mov ies, $3,000,000 for chewing gum, and $16,000,000 for tobacco. Seduction Bills Up And yet, in the face of comparatively unnecessary expenditures like this, even with the enormous resources of this state, the present legislature does not believe that the state can afford I $2,000,000 annually to be spent for higher education, and bills are being introduced for cutting down the yearly appropriations to a minimum, said the president. It is not this drastic reduction of taxes which is the immediate necessity of the state, but rather the more even distribution of taxes, he believes, since at the present time one-sixth of the population bear ninety per cent of the taxation burden. President Campbell cited a number of examples of other universities throughout the country and their meth ods of securing the financial aid neces sary to carry on their educational pro grams. Yale Organizes Work Yale is bending all her efforts at present towards the perfection of the alumni organization, and receives from this organization an average of about $400,000 annually in private gifts. Har vard is carrying on a campaign for $15,000,000 to be raised among the (Continued on page four.) ELAINE COOPER TO BROADCAST MESSAGE Christian Endeavor Topic to Be Given from Oregon Journal Badlo Station on Monday at 5:30 P. M. Elaine Cooper, graduate assistant in public speaking and debate, and fetate president of Christian Endeavor, is to broadcast a ra- message in in terest of Christian eavor, Monday evening between 5:3u and 6 from the Journal radio station, KGG. The week of January 28 to February 4 is Christian Endeavor week held in celebration of Christian Endeavor’s 42nd anniversary. Monday evening, January 29 is national radio day of Christian Endeavor week. Miss Cooper who when a student on the campus was prominent in forensic activities has been traveling for several months throughout the state lecturing to Christian Endeavor groups. Miss (Cooper will broadcast a message, “ What Is the Chief Benefit of Chris tian Endeavor?” from Francis E. Clark, founder and now president of the World Union of Christian Endeavor. A second message will be read by Miss Cooper from Lloyd R. Cary, for mer student of the University of Ore gon and now a minister in Portland, tn interest of the movement to have the next world convention of Christian ’Endeavor meet in Portland in 1925. This will be settled at the national convention which will be held in July at Des Moines. “Our Heritage and It’s Challenge” will be the title of Miss Cooper’s own message to the young people of the nation. The young people of today are irich in the heritage which history sup plies and they, because of this field of wisdom, can be equally great if not greater than the youths of the past, believes Miss Cooper. INITIATES STAGE GORY BULLFIGHT ORDER OF “O” MEN PUT ON SHOW IN EUGENE ARMORY Crowded Hall Witnesses Great Play Acted by Five Neophytes of Athletic Group In the bloodless and sandless arena of the Eugene armory last night be tween halves of the Oregon-Washington basketball game was filmed “Gore and Gravel,” with initiates of the Order bf the “O” taking the part of a galaxy of scintillating actors, and one lone ac tress who smoked a cigarette as she en tieated her lover to go forth and spear the uncoordinated bovine, as the her oine. Dick Sundeleaf, master of the san guinary ceremonies, husked the multi Itude and announced that the spectacle bf the age was about to be staged. The crowd parted and in meandered the taurine quadruped. Horace Byler, as Rudolph Vaselino, and “Bill” Collins representing the heroine, followed the prancing bull. The locomotion for the bovine was furnished^ by Lynn Roy croft and “Lefty” Baldwin. The quin tet of initiates was completed as the 'famous bull fighter, Phil Ringle, walked out into the arena an enlongated stil letto in his hand. The animal sat in one chair, the fighter took the other, and then at a signal the battle was bn, while Vaselino and the heroine clinched. The bull skilfully maneuver ed into position and prodded Ringle Unexpectedly, making him take the count in the gore and gravel. While Taurus stood over the victim, •waiting for the will of the crowd, Byler unlimbered his artillery and the ani mal died in parts, the stern taking the count first. The initiates scampered off the field amid the plaudits of the thousands. oregonIeurs VISIT 0.1. C. CAMPUS Reviewers Met by Band and Given Welcome About 260 persons came to the Ore gon Agricultural College on the legis lative excursion Wednesday, according to Colin Dyment, who represented the University at the gathering. Of the 260 about 75 were members of the house or senate. After the visitors left the train, which stopped at the depot at the edge of the campus, they were ushered to a reviewing stand, and forthwith a par ade of the O. A. C. military establish ment was begun. The fine military band of the agricultural college led the procession and as it reached the re viewing stand, turned up a cross street, faced about, and during the remainder of the long parade played a military march. The procession was led by a seemingly endless number of infantry companies, each of which dipped its colors in passing the reviewing stand. The infantry were followed by the ar tillery unit, and the artillery by a lone tank, by a squadron of cavalry, and by the supply train wagons. Then the band swung in behind and the par ade was over. The 260 excursionists then walked to the home economics building in which luncheon was served. There were no speeches at this luncheon except a brief welcome by President W. J. Kerr iand a response by Jay Upton, president I of the state senate. Applause greeted the information that the luncheon had (Continued on page four.) GREAT GAME LOST III FINAL MINUTE OF FIST PLAYING Fast Washington Huskies Win by One Lone Basket When Timer’s Gun Balks VARSITY OVERCOMES LEAD Brilliant Work Puts Oregon Ahead But Visitors Slip Over Two Counters By Ed Fraser With just one minute left out of forty last night, and Oregon two points in the lead, the Washington Huskies stepped out with an unexpected burst of speed and converted twice, thus cinching the game by a margin of two points, the final score reading 34 to 32. A defective gun cost Oregon the •game, according to Timer Bill Spear, who claims he pulled the trigger of the pistol before the winning basket was in the air. This claim was backed up fby all those sitting in his vicinity, with the exception of the Washington timer, Chuck Frankland, so Referee Coleman had no alternative but to count the points. S The Lemon-Yellow staged a wonder ful comeback when there remained but six minutes to play, with Washington six points in the lead, for they overtook the Husky aggregation and when only the last fatal minute remained they were on the good end of a 32 to 30 score. Game Very Fast The game was the fastest that has been seen on the local floor for many moons, as both teams checked close and most of the points were made on long I shots. The Varsity was overanxious lat first and flivered several pot shots in the first five minutes. After this, i though, they seemed to find themselves and made most of the close ones. Hunk Latham was off-color last night And big redeheaded Bryan sure had him leached the first half, for from the first it was evident that that was the only reason he was on the floor. In the last 20 minutes Hunk was too much for the big boy, though, and succeeded in snaring four baskets. The Huskies were over-anxioUs /throughout and committed a total of ’15 fouls, but of these Hunk could get but four out of eleven and Shafer two of the other four. Crawford for the visitors snared two out of his four chances from the foul line. Heskith Is Star Heskitli, the tall, pale center for the visitors, was easily the star of /the game with seven baskets in all, and i he was also the boy that shot the bas ket which won the game. “Windy’' Crawford, the tireless little guard, was fall over the floor and besides shooting fouls hooked four baskets for a total of ten points. 1 Shafer and Zimmerman, for Oregon, put out the best brand of ball, but both Hunk and Chapman were off their us ual game, while Gowans played with a bandaged arm and was unable to put out as he has in the other games this ^season. Half Couch took Chappy’s •place toward" the end of the game, and showed the old fight while he was there and time after time broke up the whole (Continued on page four.) Mask and Quarter and Mystic Password Required By Students S-sh! Keep it dark! The senior password will be convey ed by some means to all members of !the senior class who can possibly be reached this afternoon. That mystical word will be the “Open Sesame” (to gether with a mask and a quarter) to the Senior Masquerade at Dreamland hall, at 8 o’clock this evening. In order to avoid any mischievous un derclassman from obtaining the pass word, seniors are cautioned to watch ■ the telephone throughout the afternoon hours. As far as possible it will be de livered to some representative of each house in person. Seniors not living is organised groups can get the desired information by leaving their names and telephone numbers with Inez King at the Journalism shack or Imogene Letch er at the Theta house. In case some senior is unable to get the password, he may proceed to the j dance, where a committee will permit fliim to enter upon his presenting suf :fieient proof to establish his identity ! as a member of the class of 1923. j Rumor has it that wigs are much in i demand—that well-known blond beau j ties are going to disguise their appear ! ance by annexing a different shade of hair. There is also the whisper that certain malo members of the class will, with the aid of borrowed attire, sup plemented by additional locks, masquer ade as fair females. A good orchestra has been secured. The committee has promised refresh ments. The floor at Dreamland needs no further advertising. The seniors are looking forward to another of the real live parties for which their class is noted. DOUGHNUT SALE NETS $22 A sum of $22 was neted by Phi Theta Kappa from the sale of doughnuts in the Commerce department yesterday.
