Library Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIV. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE, THURSDAY, MARCH 22. 1923 NUMBER 121 MUSICIANS ILL 1II5IT INK PILOTS IIP STATE ON TOOB Glee Clubs and Orchestra to Begin Trips Immediately After Term Finals GOOD SUPPORT EXPECTED Manager Reports That Alumni Have Pledged Assistance; Jazz Eliminated The Men’s and Women’s Glee clubs and the University symphony orchestra will make their annual trips through the state during spring vacation, each organization leaving Eugene immediate ly after examinations. The Women’s Glee club will appear in six southern Oregon towns, Yonealla, Oakland, Boseburg, Grants Pass, Med ford and Ashland. It was originally intended to make a trip north through Puget Sound to Seattle, but an execu tive council ruling permits only one or ganization to leave the state each year, and this privilege was given the men’s glee club. Ted Gillnwatrs, manager of the club, has lately returned from an advance trip through the valley, and reports everyone as being favorable, enthusi astic, and eager to have the club this year and good support has been pro mised by the alumni. Twenty-Four in Group The orchestra is repeating a trip made several years ago to coast towns which proved very successful. Twen ty-four members of the organization are making the trip, and a special car lias been secured for half conveyance. The first concert will be given in Marsh field, followed by concerts in Bandon, Coquille, Myrtle Point and Beedsport. Bex Underwood, director, has chosen a well-balanced program for the con certs, which may be changed or added to as the occasion demands. Stunts and jazz numbers have been eliminated en tirely from it, for music of a higher class is as well received and has as much of an appeal to the general pub lic as jazz. John B. Siefert, tenor, of the school of music, is to be featured as soloist, and besides a group of solos Mr. Siefert will sing “Love Like the Dawn Came Stealing,” Cadman, and “A Dream,” Bartlett, accompanied by the orchestra. Mrs. Bex Undedwood will chaperone the orchestra. Evans Accompanies Men The Men ’s Glee club is taking 20 of its members on tour, and they have also been able to obtain a special car to travel in, which will not entail any ad ditional expense. John Stark Evans, director of both the Men’s and the Women’s Glee clubs, will make the trip with the men, and he has arranged an entirely different program for each performance. Soloist for the concerts will be Boy Bryson, tenor;, Aubrey Fur ry, bass, and Bonald Beid, pianist. A number of novel songs will also be given by the quartet, Aubrey Furry, bass; Curtis Phillips, tenor; Boy Bry son, tenor, and Wilbur Phillips, bari tone. Cancellation of the contract for the appearance of the organization in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Ogden, Utah, will cut short the southern end of the trip. The first coficert of the club will be given in Hood Biver, Saturday, March 30. Following this will be concerts in The Dalles, Pendleton, LaGrande, and Baker. The club is to return to Port land the following Sunday and will give a concert there April 9, one in Salem April 10, and will then return to the campus. OREGON WRITERS WILL GATHER AT CONFERENCE Visitors Are Invited by Pot and Quill and Theta Sigma Phi A conference of over 20 Oregon wom en writers will meet at the Woman’s building on Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock. All of these women have pub lished some of their work. They come to the campus at the invitation of Pot and Quill, University women’s writing society, and Theta Sigma Phi, women’s journalism society, to meet with each other and with the women students in journalism. They desire to “get the student point of view.” The conference will be from 2 p. p. till 4 p. m., Friday. AO women in journalism are invited to attend the conference. It will be a privilege, it is reported, to hear these really well known Oregon celebrities tell of their work and experiences. Books by a number of these authoresses have been placed on a special shelf in the library by Mrs. Mabel MacClain so that stu dents may readily refer to them. PLEDGING ANNOUNCED Sigma Pi Tau announces the pledg ing of Alton Gabriel of Portland, and Harold Wagner of Falls City. ASHLAND PAPER EDITED BY SENIOR C. K. Logan,’21, Returns for Press Conference When C. K. Logan, ’21, editor of the Ashland Tidings, decided to come to the editor ’s conference, there were sev eral little matters that stood in his way. The main difficulty was the fact that a newspaper has to have an editor in order to keep on running with its usual efficiency. “C. K.” cast about and obtained the services of John An derson, senior in the school of jour nalism, whose home is in Ashland. John, however has a few little ar rangements of his own to make, for when on the campus, he is local corres pondent for the Portland Telegram. His departure for Ashland necessitated a substitute correspondent, and Ted Janes, Emerald daily news editor, vol unteered to keep ^the Portland paper supplied with news. So now, John has “C. K.’s” job, Ted has John’s job, and VC. K.” is on his way rejoicing, preparing to attend his first editor’s conference.

The meet will be held on Satur day afternoon at 3 o’clock. A large number of houses have been turning out for practice during the week and as a whole a good deal of interest has been shown in the meet. Besides this practice coaching for div ers can be had in the men’s pool on 'Tuesday and Thursday from 3 to 4 and on Monday, Wednesday and Fri day from 4 to 5. It is urged that the men take ad vantage of this chance for improve ment in their event and especially the divers.

STUDENT UNION PLAN FAVORED BY McCLAIN Manager of Co-op Welcomes Idea of Store in New Building; Greater Profits Possible This Year “The students’ co-op is in favor of the student union and all it repre sents,” said Marion McClain, manager of the co-op, yesterday. “It has been suggested that the store be included in plans for the building which will be a great advantage. “We will be greatly disappointed;” he continued, “if we cannot show profits : at least as good as last year,, and we hope for a better showing.” The var sity baseball Jmiforms have just been delivered through the store. Two lines have been added and have proved a marked success, according to Mr. Mc Clain. These are the Eemington porta ble typewriters which seems to be so popular among students. The store has also added a line of architecture and art matedials which have been almost a business in themselves. Students directories, which appeared at the be ginning of the term have proved them selves a necessity as over 300 have al ready been sold. Fountain pens are a fast moving product due partially to the fact that students lose so many. “The fountain pen income last year,” said Mr. McClain, “was $2500. Half of the pens sold are of the Shaeffer brand, the other two brands ranking in popularity are the Waterman and Swan, ranking in the order named.” Mr. McClain has received a letter this week from Lincoln, Nebraska, an nouncing the fact that the college book store of that city is sending a repre esntative to the University campus for the purpose of buying second hand books from students. The exact date of | his arrival has not been announced but ! will probably be the early part of next | term. Students wishing to sell second i hand books should have them on hand ! at that time. DeBUSK IS CHARTER MEMBER One of the charter members of the American Child Health association is Professor B. W. DeBusk, instructor in educational psychology. The association, which has for its president Herbert Hoover, aims to control a central agen cy of up-to-date information upon child health subjects. The association has no control of other child health agen cies, but it is willing to give helpful suggestions and technical information to all those interested in child wel fare. FRAMER ILL SPEAK TODAY AT FINAL ASSEMBLY Y. M. C. A. International Sec retary to Lecture on Near East in Villard GLEE CLUB IS TO APPEAR Eugene Chamber of Commerce to Hear Discussion of Relief Question The last assembly of this quarter will be held today in Villard hall and Frank Ober, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A. will speak on a subject relating to the Near East of which he is familiar, being a world-wide trav eler in his connection with the inter national committee of the Y. M. C. A. and a representative of the Near East Belief. The opening numbers of the assem bly will be presented by the Men’s Glee club which is making its last appear ance before the spring vacation tour. Some selections which are to be used on the trip will be given, according to John Stark Evans. Speaker Is Author Mr. Ober is the author of several books on religious subjects and has gained considerable prominence through his ability as a writer. “He is a man with a very pleasing personality and is a good speaker,” declared L. P. Put nem, general secretary of the local Y. M. C. A. Mr. Ober has been connected with the Y. M. C. A. for 25 years and in recent years his work has been of such a nature as to place him in intim ate touch with the conditions and needs of the people of the Near East and his associations have bedii such that he is thoroughly acquainted with much of the world’s social needs. . Karl Onthank in speaking of Mr. Ober said, “He comes to us well recommended as a first rate speaker.” , On Coast Tour' Mr. Ober is at present touring the Pacific coast in the interests of the Near East Belief and is making Eu gene his only stop between San Fran cisco and Portland. His lecture pro gram includes appearances in both these cities. He will speak twice while in Eugene, this morning at assembly and again at noon when he will address the Eugene Chamber of Commerce upon a subject also relating to the Near East. RACKET MEN TO PLAY FOR PLACES ON VARSITY Round-Robin Tournament to Be Held to Decide the Personnel of Tennis Team; Two Veterans Out Varsity tennis activity which is at present rather a lull will be resumed with a bang at the beginning of the spring quarter. A round-robin tourna ment to decide the personnel of the squad of racquet wielders that will represent Oregon is the first thing scheduled for the cement courts, says Steve Williams, senior member of the tennis committee and a two-year letter man in the sport. Just how Oregon will fare in tenuis this spring is at present rather hard to decide. Besides Williams, the only letterman on the campus is “Cub” Cul bertson. Both of these men have had considerable experience on the courts, and will make the squad in all proba' bility. Sine there has as yet been no offi cial call for tennis aspirants there has been few men out this term from which to predict the team. MeElwain and Osborne, both of whom play a handy game are likely prospects. Oth ers who will make a strong bid are Levy and Myers of last year’s frosh squad. Several others have been show ing up well in the few workouts held during the recent good weather, and there will no doubt be a goodly number of candidates when the round-robin tournament is called. The Varsity schedule this year calls for matches with O. A. C., Willamette, and probably a number of the other conference schools, besides the confer ence meet, scheduled for Seattle. STUDENTS TO EEGISTEB EABLY The school of business administra tion has arranged for all Btudents wish ing to register before spring vacation for next term to do so Friday after noon from 1:15 to 4:30 o’clock. No registration will be done at any other time before the regular time for regis tration, April 9. All students in the school of business administration are | asked to register Friday during these hours if thev can do so. I _ ELECTION ANNOUNCED Condon club, University of Oregon section of G. M. 8. A. TJ., announces the election to associate membership of J. W. Johnson, Portland, and W. Holman, San Luis Obispo, Cal. GREATER OREGON GROUP ASKED TO GIVE INVITATION High School Seniors to Get Bids from Oregonians During Vacation CAMPUS LUNCHEON HELPED Clean-Up Day Held Tradition; „ Proposed Change Under General Discussion Because work has gone ahead so rap idly in the various committees no more meetings of the general committee or the directorate will be held this term, according to Doug Farrell, chairman of Junior week-end. Henryetta Lawrence, newly-appoint ed chairman of the campus luncheon, reports that plans are moving rapidly and that the class taxes are going to solve the usual difficulty in financing the activity. Members of the Greater Oregon com mittee are asked to cooperate with the Junior week-end boosters in spread ing the general invitation to high school seniors during spring vacation. Clean-Up Feature Discussed The matter of eliminating the clean up feature from campus day may come up for discussion again, due to the fact that some campus factions feel that I to eliminate this old idea would be to ! do away with a tradition. Those favoring the change declare that the clean-up idea is a relic of the days when the University was too small to maintain the present corps of campus workmen. They point out that in re cent years damage to useful property has been done due to the lack of or ganization. The new plan is to have the award ing of the frosh football paint “O’s” on the campus and to stage the burning i of the caps in connection with a morn I ing University rally. Letters Being Sent Those in charge of publicity report that students are sending out scores of letters each week inviting preppers to the various campus houses. Students living in town who have friends who are seniors in any Oregon high school are asked to get them down for the week-end, May 18 and 19, according to the committee. Guests are to be given free tickets to all the campus functions of the week end and every courtesy will be shown them. SENIORS WILL CHECK UP ON GRADUATION RECORDS One Week Allowed for Certification of Credits; Incomplete Courses to Be Made Up by June AU seniors may come to window 7 in the registrar’s office to check up on their permanent records for gradua tion, says Carlton Spencer. One week beginning yesterday at noon and end ing March 28 at noon, will be allow ed in which to do this checking. After this no records will be looked over due to the rush for registration for the spring term. This checking is neces sary for all students who expect to graduate since all incompleted courses must be made up before June. Seniors must have 186 hours of cred it, 36 of which must be in their major. The rule went into effect in the fall of 1921-22 that 140 of the 186 hours must be above the grade of V, but due to the fact that this rule did not exist when the present seniors were under classmen, V’s made prior to the year 1921-22 will not be counted. Seniors must check up on entrance requirements, total number of hours, the lower and upper divisions of their majors, freshman English language, gym and military for men; gym, prac tical ethics and hygiene for women; jroup requirements, hours incompleted and hours conditioned.

Star of Spanish Play Which Starts Tonight o Charlotte Banfield o SPANISH MASTERPIECE IS GRIPPING TRAGEDY Charlotte Banfield Stars in Guild Play Tonight A masterpiece of Spanish drama to night at 8:30! Charlotte Banfield, who’ has made herself loved by all those who frequent the Guild Hall plays, and has received the highest praise and comment on her interpretations, will once more be star red in a Company play. The part of Raimunda in La Malquer ida is one that demands a depth of un derstanding and psychology in the play ing as the woman robbed of her hap piness by the terrible events that crowd one upon the other after the stepfather has fallen in love with her daughter, stands torn between hatred of this man she can hardly forgive and love for him in his humiliation. There is something so simple and hu man about the play that the tragedy grips one. And—such is Benavente’s art, we do not fail to sympathize with the murderer. He is not a marionette with a consuming vice brought on the stage for our amusement. He is a human being—a mixture of good arid bad, a fellow sufferer in his human weakness. Darrell Larsen plays this part with fa cility, as Darrell seems able to do in tragedy when he finds comedy harder. Dorothy Hall plays the daughter, and it is she who is called La Malquerida, the Passion Flower; she whom Esteban falls in love with to the sorrow of all the family. The costumes are charmingly Span ish, many things loaned by Miss Thomp son of the romance language depart ment for the production. The play opens tonight at 8:30.

NEW CLUBHOUSE PLANNED Craftsmen, DeMolays and Eastern Stars Discuss Union Building A joint meeting of the Craftsman club, DeMolay club and Eastern Star or Temenid club was held at the Campa Shoppe Tuesday at 5:30 p. m., at which the proposition of erecting a Masonic clubhouse on the campus was discussed. Bob Callahan, president of the Crafts man club on the campus, stated Wed nesday that the club was contemplating having such a building, but that no definite arrangements had been made about it yet. At the meeting Tuesday talks were made by the visiting Masons E. M. Wilson, president of the Past Master’s association of southern Oregon, of Med ford; Senator Magladry of Lane and Linn counties; W. H. Oalvini, Portland, and Senator Fisk, of Eugene, a regent of the University. About fifty members of the three orders were present.

Tickets may be had at the Bungalow or by calling Gale Acton and should be reserved imme diately as the seating capacity is very small and will not accommodate all the active members. “While members are in touch with the Y. W. the most of the year,” said Miss Collier, secretary, “it is a revel ation to a good many of them, to learn of the work that is being done by the organization. One new feature which has been on trial this year and has proved to be a success, is the organiz ing of all the work of the association into departments, of which a head is appointed and committees organized to take charge of the work. The reason or doing this is that it brings so many more of the girls into active partici pation in events.” New Department Started Another new department is the girls’ reserve, an organization essentially for girls of high school age, .which is un der the supervision of the service de partment. “This has just been start ed,” says Miss Collier, “and opens a big field for development as we can or ganize as many as we can find girls to lead. Nothing has been done along this line until lately.” A special feature of the banquet will be the presence of Miss Elsie Heller, student secretary of the Pacific coast region whose headquarters are in San Eraneisco. This is Miss Heller’s first visit to this section. Her former field was the south Atlantic coast. Other numbers on the program will be special music by Mrs. Underwood, Alberta and Catherine Potter. LeLaiue West, president, will act as toast mis tress. Toasts will bo given by Mrs. Elizabeth Fox DeCou, Miss Elsie Hel ler, Mrs. J. M. Walter, Miss Dorothy Collier, Mrs. George Bohler and Miss Emily Veazie. Y. W. BOARD MEMBER COMING Miss Vanzant Jenkins from the na tional board of the Y. W. C. A. will be a guest on the campus sometime in May. Miss Jenkins is a specialist in girls’ work and is coming to the Uni versity to offer a training course for leaders of girls’ clubs, especially the girls’ reserve corps. Her visit will be of unusual value and interest because the University Y. W. C. A. supervises the Eugene brunch of the girls’ reserves in the public schools.
