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,
