Phonographs Are Found Useful
I / for Testing Faults
in Singing
Starting, no doubt, with the longing,
’“Oh, for the gift we hope would
K cheer us,
To hear ourselves as others hear
I us>«
mSsic students of the University are;
making phonograph records and repro- j
dicing them to test their progress in;
vocal training and to show their faults
in the best possible way, thau of hear
ing their own voices on a Vietrola.
The idea is a novel one at the Univer
sity, but is already considered quite a
success, according to John Landsbury,
dean of the school of music.
Students taking vocal lesBons sing
into a small horn and the sound is trans
mitted to a thick wax record. This
record may be reproduced immediately
and the singer shown wherein she can
improve her voice, especially in tone
and breathing. The record may then
be laid away and another one made
weeks later. By comparing these two
the singer can determine what progress
has bene made, and what faults remain
to be corrected.
Students get quite a thrill out of
hearing their own voices and are tak
ing considerable interest in the idea,
says Dean Landsbury. “It is not a
plaything,” he says. “It is rather ex
pensive, but it brings results. The
records are very soft and are easily
broken, but we have a small machine
to shave off the surface of the record
and thus may use it from 50 to 100
times.
“We really should have an expert,
one who knows the proper distance to
stand from the horn. He would stand
behind the singer and sway her body
nearer to the horn, or farther away as
the case may bo, in order to produce an
even impression on the wax record. As
it is, they get too close to the horn
sometimes and spoil the record.”
Dean Landsbury made the interest
ing experiment of transmitting to the
Victor machine a vocal solo caught over
the music school radio, and then repro
duced it. Though the singer was in
Los Angeles, the reproduction was very
good, he said.
B. A. ASSISTANTSHIPS,
SCHOLARSHIPS, OFFERED
Commerce Graduates Have Chance to

School for 1923-1924 Year
Several scholarships and assistant

the school of business administration
yesterday. The number of awards to

ment of from $500 to $000 for the

UNIFORMS STILL IN USE
$10 Deposit on Military Equipment Not
Available for Junior Week-end
Although nearly all the under -class
men in the military department have
finished their required drill work, uni
forms cannot be turned in until Juno
f). It will be impossible to collect that
$10 deposit for Junior Week-end ex
penses. St cannot be predicted when
some officials may spring a surprise
inspection 01T the cadets, and uniforms
would be a necessity, says the supply
sergeant. If the equipment were all
turned in, it would be very hard to get
all the men outfitted again.
TEAS TO BE DISCONTINUED
Tennis and Canoeing Will be Substi
tuted for Weekly Co-ed Gathering
The day of the informal Woman’s
league tea is over for another year. Ap
parently University co-eds are no long
er even lured by the promise of tea in
all desired stages of heat, and wafers,
which have been attracting a large num
ber of loyal league members every Tues- j
day afternoon during the fall and win
ter terms. Lady tea hounds, office seek-1
ers, and sorority freshmen will receive
with varying degrees of emotion the news
that the Woman’s league wafers have'
been stored- once more.
These gatherings were very popular i
(luring the last two terms among all
University girls, but there is so much to
occupy the time of the students during
this last session of the year that it has
been thought wise to discontinue the cus
tom for the rest of the term, according
to Marjorie Hazard, who has been in
charge of them this year.
Spring has banished the hallowed hand
out, but the optimists remind us that the
mill race is still running, two new ten
nis courts demand attention and the
term paper is still with us. Are there
not some things to be thankful for?
Though Convicted,
Frosh Not Spanked
Everybody wlio wasn’t rushing after
an Oregana gathered around the lib
rary steps at 10:50 sharp yesterday
morning to watch the culprits of the
class of ’26 step forward, bend over,
and take two or three or possibly more
jolts from the Order of the “O” spank
stick. But to the chagrin of all con
cerned the anatomy bombast was not
held, very much, we suppose, to the
delight and comfort of the green-cap
pers.
Just why the Order of the Lettermen
failed to schedule the pre-assembly pas
time is not known. Possibly they fig
ured that the knights of the verdent
headgear would receive enough chas
tisement and humiliation today when
they purify themselves of freshman
sins by the fire and water method.
But they missed the last chance to
pummel the pests of ’26 while that
lowly gentry were wearing the insigna
of goof. Without doubt a goodly num
ber of the clan needed a bludgeon bom
bardment; in fact they should all have
experienced the timely one-two of the
paddle just to remember it and their
freshman days by.
Maybe the Order of the “O” is sav
ing the party for today or tomorrow, or
even for a future date. Anyway let
us wait and see.

SIGMA CHI LEADING IN
INTRA-MURAL CONTESTS
Highest Score is 20; Kappa Delta Phi
is Lowest; Baseball, Track and
Tennis not Included
Sigma Chi is leading all teams in the
intra-mural contests, with a score of
20. Kappa Delta Phi is occupying the
cellar position with a score of 74. These
scores are the standings of the teams
up to date and do not include base
ball, track or tennis. The different
sports played by the teams have been
basketball, handball, physical ability,
wrestling and swimming.
Baseball and tennis are being played
by the teams now and the winner of the
series will be hard to pick until more
games have been played. Kappa Sigma
won the cup last year and is well to
ward the top of the list this year, hav
ing a score of 22. If the Kappa Sigs
win the baseball series they will have
an excellent chance to cop the cup
again. The house winning the cup
three times in succession retains it per
manently.
Statistics of the intra mural sports
in the physical education department
reveal the fact that an average of 20
men from each house participate in do
nut sports. Last year the total num
ber taking part in the different sports
were as follows: basketball 112, hand
ball 34, physical ability 55, wrestling
61, swimming 50, baseball 175, and ten
nis 72.
