MUSIC FEST1L HOT TO BE CM Busy Spring Term Makes Event Impossible According To Dean Landsbury Dl\ John J. Landsbury, dean of the school of music, has announced that it has been necessary to give up the spring music festival because of the difficulty in get ting people to assist who were not tied up with other activities. “This spring term is so crowded with things,” Dr. Landsbury said, “and it was necessary for us to depend so much upon people engaged in other activities that we de cided to give it up rather than to try to work it out on such short notice. “Both Glee clubs were to have been used as the nucleus of Haydn’s oratorio, “The Creation,” and we discovered that the greater burden of the work was fall ing upon them.” It was originally in tended to have “The Creation” as the main part of the festival; this was to have been sung by a chorus made up of the glee clubs and other people in the University who are interested in music, accompanied by the University Symphony Orchestra. The oratorio was to have been directed by Rex Underwoo'd, instruc tor in violin in the school of music. If was also planned to ask artists from Portland to take part in some of the pro grams. Dr. Landsbury is to organize an or atorio society at the beginning of next year, so that there will be no conflicts, and work can be accomplished without rushing. This society will include the Men’s and Women’s glee clubs, and all available persons on the campus, who are not in the clubs.

H. S. Students Make Speed Under ' Spell of Artists Old and New In The Realm of Music The use of the Victrola for the per fection of rhythm in typing has been used with great success in the Univer sity high school. It has been found that by perfecting their rhythm, the students are able to attain a greater rate of speed and accuracy. The records of some of the students are remarkable; the first year classes expect to average 60 words a minute before the end of the year. Vuelta Stivers and Yesta Orrick of the first year class are already making more than 60 words. However, speed alone is not stressed for these girls are able to take a 20 or 30-minute test making no more than five mistakes and often none. The second year students are making between 90 and 100 words in 15 or 20 minute tests. In the shorter tests four members of the class have made over 100 words a minute, and one girl, Mary Butler, has, reached a record of 150 words. Most of the students are working for awards. Many have already re ceived the preliminary awards from the Royal company and are now working for the highest award, the typewriter. All of the high school stenographic work and much of the work for the school of education is done by the stu dents. In this way they learn practical office work, and at the same time are of groat assistance to the school.

When told that it was for signals, he said—“Well, but what would you do if the enemy were near?” The genial humor of the in spectors made the men feel that even the vicissitudes of the Oregon climate have t heir compensations and can be endured with fortitude. Faculty, students, and a number of townspeople who witnessed the work thought in spite of the rain the men made a good showing.

The men were particularly struck by the clothing of the soldiery in the town. One, whom they took to bo a major general, by the gold braid and decorations, turned out to be a bugler. The expenses for the trip were not very high, although the men stayed at hotels along the route. York and Bradway are majoring in architecture and McGonegal majored in fine arts, but he is now with the motion picture corporation.

NEW BOOKS AT LIBRARY HAVE VARIED INTERESTS Evangelical Work By Oregon Graduate Is Listed Alluring titles, covers designed to bid the reader peep within them, contents written to amuse, entertain or instruct, in fact written for every mood, and on varying subjects appealing to individual tastes are advertised on the new book bulletin board in the University library. Fresh from the 1922 press come Don Marquis’ latest books; one is “Sonnets to a Red-Headed Lady and Famous Love Af fairs.” The other entitled, “Poems and Portraits,” is a collection of cleverly written lines by a man whom some crit ics hail as one of the greatest of American minstrels, and whose column the “Tower” appears in the New York Tribune. In the “Sonnets” Marquis re views the fates of his imagined 29 red haired wives to a new flame, Suzanne, in a humorous satrieal style, thoroughly en ijoyable, and uproariously funny, and makes amends for the slams and bat tering of the first pages in a few lines of real poetic merit at the end of the work. In the “Famous Love Affairs” a modern view point of the affairs of Antony and Cleopatra, Tristam and Isenlt, Othello and Desdemona, Romeo and Juliet, are given. Quoting from Othello and Desdemona the clmax reads: “And so one night he killed his wife Then learned he’d been mistaken ‘Well, well,’ he murmured, ‘such is life! ’ It left him rather shaken.” “Poems and Portraits”devotes half its space to poems on such subjects as the “Wood-fire,” “Towers of Manhattan,” “Only Thy Dust,” and half to “Savage Portraits,” a series of satrieal sketches of personalities. Post’s “Etiquette” is the latest word in the library on social propriety, making its arrival at a psychological moment in view of the annual “brushing up” going on for Junior Week-end. “Last Poems,” by A. E. Houseman, “Dreams Out of Darkness,” by Unter meyer, and “Nets to Catch the Wind,” by Elinor Wylie, have been added to the poetry collection of the library. Among the novels are Machen’s “Hill of Dreams,” and “Peter Whiffle,” by Carl Van Vechten. Two new plays are Masefield's “Mel loney Hotspur,” and Fleekon’s “Has son.” “New Testament Evangelism” is the subject of a work by Dr. Jesse E. Kel loms, an Oregon graduate now engaged ; in evangelistic work. The work is de J signed for the benefit of the evangelist. It develops methods of conducting revival and evangelical meetings, going into a more or less detailed description. The lectures embodied in the work are a series' which the author delivered in Eugene be fore the students and faculty of the Eugene Bible University. The book is in the Oregon collection of the Univer sity library. DEPARTMENT KEEPS FILES Dr. Torrey Registers Photographs anc Records of Each Student For the past two years, the zoolwgv department has kept on file identifi cation cards of all students registered in that department. A complete ree ord and photograph of each student is placed on his card. „ The purpose of this system is tc enable Dr. Harry Beal Torrey, the head of the department, to keep in close con tact with the students. Because he is in Portland part of each week he does not have an opportunity to become as well acquainted with them as do the assistants in the laboratory and he uses this means to keep in touch with them and with their work. DEAN ALLEN GOES TO BEND Dean Eric W. Allen, of the school of journalism, is going to Bend Sunday to be gone several days on Extension work connected with the department.
