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.

Draperies, Chairs, Couches and Books
Will Help in Making Boom in Old
“Shack” Pleasant
Autographic copies of books by Ore
gon authors, magazines and books that
! will be of special interest to women
1 journalists as well as those outside the
; department who are interested in writ
ing; artistic draperies, comfortable
| chairs, and couches where the girls may
! rest between classes, are some of the
\ things which the members of Theta
Sigma Phi are pdanning to have in
their room in the “old shack.”
Enough money was secured at the
silver tea last Friday, when the room
had its initiation as a socal center, to
purchase the drapes, and these are to
to be hung soon. 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.

It's the sole of the people we keep in view, for I am a doctor of the boot
and the shoe. I serve the living, not the dead—use the best leather, wax and
thread. I will stitch on a sole or nail it fast—do a good job, and guarantee
it to last. I will give you a gift along in life—not only you, but your
family and wife. So many patients come to my door, all run down and
feeling so sore. I don’t use poultices, plasters or pills, but I can cure
you of all your shoe ills.

THREE MEN HURT FINGERS
Len Jordan, James Scripture, Lester
Norman See Baseball from Sidelines
This week has been an unlucky one
for three crack baseball players, majors
in the school of business administra
tion, who are now enjoying the games
from the sidelines.
James Scripture, Delta Tau Delta,
freshman, caught the ball on the out
drop on the tips of his fingers, dislo
cating one of them. 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.
' Lester Norman, special student from
Pendleton, is the third of the trio to
l be carrying his finger carefully done
up in splints.

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.
