GLEE CLUB MEMBERS ENTERTAIN III ASSEMBLE Lecture Replaced by Music Encores Are Given It lias been promised that theri would be rio lecture during the 1 o’clock assembly hour, and there wa no lecture. Just music. The kind tha really charms and brings forgetfulnes of hum-drum classroom matters wliei the spring sun shines and green leave and blossoming trees beckon outside. The first appearance of the Univer sity glee clubs on the campus since the; completed their vacation tours wa made in Villard hall yesterday morn ing, when they presented some of th more popular numbers given during tli tour. “A Milk Toast,” by Spier, and “I My Songs Had Wings,” by Hahn, twi selections sung by the girls’ glee club were so enthusiastically received as ti require an encore, thereby setting i precedent for the remainder of the pro gram. The girls responded with a plan tation melody that had proved itsel popular with audiences in various Ore gon cities visited on their vacation toui Gwladvs Keeney and Vera Price san| “Sacrament,” by MaoDerinid and “Th Waters of Minnetanka.” “The Dark King’s Daughter,” Bain bridge Crist, was sung by Joanna Jame who responded afterwards with “Fo You Alone,” by Geehl, as an encore. The men’s glee club presented “Cas tilla,” a ballad of Spain and “A Sonj of Winter.” The men’s quartot, composed of Cur tis Phillips, John Stark Evans, Wil bur Phillips and Aubrey Furrey sanj several southern melodies, that woi ready response from the audience 01 account of their sparkling humor o: the Southland. The glee clubs were led by Georgi Hopkins, professor in the school ol music. McCLURE BASEMENT TO HOUSE MULTIGRAPHERS Basement Repairs Unfinished; *Chang« Will Require Road to be Bfallt Through Rose Garden According to H. M. Fisher, superin tendent of grounds, the basement of McClure hall is not to bo turned into a war garden for the growing of carrots for hungry science majors, as has been imagined by some; nor is it to bo trans formed into an indoor tennis court for the benefit of journalism students. The ground is merely graded for the {purpose of laying a cement floor, after which it will again bo used as a science lab. The old wooden floor was in such a condition of disrepair that it was thought bettor to lay an entirely new floor rather than try to repair the old ■one. Construction around the vicinity of the new journalism lruildiug is not nearly at an end, according to Mr. Fish er, as plans have already Ueen made for a new building to house the inultigraph department, at present in Johnson hall. This will necessitate tho construction of » new road which will have t» pass through that part of the campus now occupied hy the .rose garden south of the old journalism shack, and will .ron nequently destroy a large part of this garden.

OREGON REPRESENTED IN ORATORICAL CONTEST George Owen to Contest at Willamette For Peace Prize; Elam Amstutz i To Go As Manager > For the first time in a number oi i years the University of Oregon will be • represented at the Peace oratorical • contest to be held at Willamette uni : versity tonight. George Owen, Oregon’s - orator, accompanied by Elam Amstutz . assistant forensic manager, will leave r today for Salem. ) “Owen has shown remarkable de velopment,” said Professor C. D. Thorpe . of the public speaking department. He 3 came out as a black horse in the try r outs to the surprise of forensic fans, and won over some of the more exper . ienced speakers on the campus. Wheth r er ho wins or loses tonight, he has done one of the finest things that a man . can do in speaking, in that he has had . courage to present his subject from an . unpopular viewpoint; but because he t believes thoroughly what he says he ! has stuck to his idea even though he ; know that his chances for winning were less by doing so. This I think is one i of the best examples of expressing one’s 1 own convictions even though he knows that it will not go so well with the judges,,” Mr. Thorpe further comment ed. Owen is a junior in the school of education, but this is his first exper ience in any forensic work. The Peace oratorical contest is an 1 annual event in the state, and there will be eight other colleges entering in the One tonight. The oration must be on or about peace and is limited to 1500 words. The first prize is $75 and tho second $25. Some persons on the cam pus may be interested to know that Heed college has reentered the league which conducts this contest, and will be represented at the event tonight.

They will be blue to harmonize with the blue enameled furniture which is planned while the cushions and table runners will be in orange. A typewriter and the records of Theta Sigma Phi are now installed in the room. “The library which we are planning,” said Mary Lou Burton, president of the organization, ’’will not be a large one, but it will be an especially interesting one. There will be no one in charge of it, and we believe that the girls will enjoy browsing around, and will appreciate the tradition that the books are not to be taken out of the room, which will be built up around it. The room is not only a Theta Sigma Phi room, but will be for all of the girls of the school of journalism, excepting, of course, when it is needed for commit tee meetings.” The new officers of Theta Sigma Phi who were recently elected are Bosalia Kcber, president, Nancy Wilson, vice president, Freda Goodrich, secretary, and Velma Farnham, treasurer.

The same day Len Jordan, Alpha Tau Omega, sophomore, met with a similar accident, although a trifle more serious. The ball was thrown with such force that it drove the bone of his finger through the flesh.

Wanted men to find the answer Published in the interest of Elec- Vk trical Development by \\ an Institution that will }] be helped by what• » ever helps the / “* / THIS is written to the man who loves to seek the unknown quantity. He is the kind of labora tory worker who ventures into untried fields of ex periment, rather than the man who tests materials. Industry has need of both types, but of the former there is a more pressing demand. College men may have been discouraged from pursuing pure research. In this highly practical age it may seem there is little room for work which does not have an immediate dollars and cents application. But such is not the case. The pure research man is the pathfinder. With' out him our fountain of knowledge would dry up. His findings in themselves may be uncommercial, but they establish a field for others to develop. Volta worked out the crude voltaic pile—unim portant until other men improved and applied it. And so with Papin in the field of steam, or Lavoisier in cheirfistry. Men of the inquiring slant of mind, stick to your last. In post graduate study, on the faculty, in the laboratory of some industrial organization, there will always be an “X” to baffle other men and call for the keenest thought of you blazers of the trail.
