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.

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.
All registration blanks must be in

no following up on the telephone as has
been in the past.

Scott, Widmer, Bovard and Fraser. Del
Oberteuffer will be the announcer.
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

Belief.
The opening numbers of the assem
bly will be presented by the Men’s Glee

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

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.

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.

Results Announced Tonight
The announcement of the election re
sults will be a feature of the banquet,
which is to be held at 6:15 promptly
so that time will be given to return
to the campus for the presentation of
the Guild Hall play. 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.
