Oregon Daily Emera*d . VOLUME XXIV. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, MAY 22, 1923 NUMBER 160 SPECIAL PRICE IS MADE STUDENTS EOR SYMPHONY Minneapolis Orchestra Will Be Heard in Concert Tonight at Heilig Theatre RESERVATIONS FOR 300 Henri Verbrugghen Conducts; Anne Roselle, Metropolitan Soprano Is Soloist A special price of $1.00 will be made students for the concert to be given to night by ■ the Minneapolis Symphony Or chestra, upon presentation of their stu dent body tickets at the box office of the Heilig theater. A block of seats, to accommodate 300 students, has been re served by the theater management, through the efforts of the school of music. The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra is undoubtedly one of the finest organ izations of its kind in the country. It was organized 20 years ago in Minne apolis, and four years later tours were made to all the principal cities of the United States. Its success has been phenomenal. ■Dean Praises Orchestra Dr. John .T. Landsbury, dean of the school of music, said of the orchestra: “It has my unqualified endorsement. It has been 20 years since it was estab lished, it is a non-profiting organization, for it is guaranteed $150,000 a year by the city of Minneapolis, and they do not charge a war tax.” Press notices of concerts given by the orchestra and of its conductor, Henri Verbrugghen, have been most lavish in praising it, and the criticisms of its per formances are few, and of small conse quence. Anne Roselle, soprano, of the Metropolitan Opera Company, is to be soloist. Some of the notices follow: “Henri Verbrugghen made an immedi ate and profound impression on his hear ers. Everything he does is the projec tion of a strong individual personality. His readings are distinguished not only by their impressively structural, almost architectural quality, but by a clarity and sharp definiteness that bespeaks a clear intellect and a strong will.” Tone Quality Pine “The Minneapolis Orchestra which played at the University under the baton of Henri Verbrugghen, showed how suc cessful the new conductor has been in moulding forces into a cohesive ensemble. There was deep subtlety of expression, greater refinement in tone quality, and more effective treatment of dynamics. Thematic detail was not obscured through a thickness of tone, and no tendency to over-emphasize climaxes was apparent.” “The Minneapolis Orchestra affords a remarkable example of the develop ment of the musical culture in the United States. . . . This orchestra proved its right to be ranked with the great or chestral institutions of the world.” “Music is not dependent altogether upon population. The finest choral or ganizations in Britain are not found in London, neither does New York produce a choral body the equal, say, of the town of Bethlehem (Penn.). The success of a great orchestra is dependent upon three important things; primarily, its leader ship; secondly, the public and its united moral support, and thirdly, upon the hun dreds and thousands and millions of dol lars necessary to its sustenance through out a period of years; the wherewithal to command the services of the finest ar tists. Minneapolis is one of the few (Continued on page three.) SLEEPY DISEASE ATTACKS CAMPUS Late Classes Cause of Drowsy Affliction A dreaded malady has become ram I pant on the campus durig the last few ! days. Sleeping sickness is the new plague that has replaced the colds and pneumonia of the winter months. How ever the ones afflicted with this fever are not confined to the infirmary but are conspicuously in the classrooms. The .patients suffer the worst at tacks during the 4 o ’clock classes, but 11 o ’clocks come in for their share of the malady. The library also figures in a large number of bad cases. When attacked with the disease the victim yawns, sighs several times and slouches down in nis chair, and at the same time entwines his pedal extremi ties around any nearby chair that hap pens to be convenient. The attacks usually last about an hour but occa sionally they are dispelled by the fal setto voice of a wrathful prof. A peculiar feature of the malady is the fact that those under its influence awake from their semi-comatose condi tion with lightning rapidity whenever the bell fills the atmosphere with dis corlant vibrations. The profs are powerless to cope with this prevalent plague but occasionally conditions are alleviated somewhat by some students who evince the desire to sleep at home instead of in the class room. PHI BETH KAPPA ELECTS TWELVE MORE MEMBERS Twenty-Six Is Total for Year; Initiation Date Not Set Twelve more members of the class of 1923 were elected to membership in the Oregon chapter of Phi Beta Ivappa at a meeting held yesterday afternoon in 101 Oregon building.

PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENT Phi Kappa Psi announces the pledg ing of Jack Hunt of Portland. Fate of High Shootin’ Gunman Will Be Decided in Moot Court Sometime between 7 and 10 o’clock tonight, the fate of Moe Sax, accused of assault with intent to kill Bob Mautz, will be placed in the hands of the jury. Whether the vicious gunman will be incarcerated for the rest of his life, while the world goes piggin’ mer rily onward, or whether he will be freed and allowed to perpetrate more dastardly deeds will be decided by those six jurymen, who will hear the case to night in the Lane County Court House. Sax is alleged to have shot Mautz on the library steps when the former de livered an address to the crowd, assert ing that the popular freshman athlete used underhand tactics in gaining a student body office. Mautz, stirred by the biting words of the stocky de fendant, advanced on him stating that the accusation was false. It was then that Sax unlimbered a wicked looking cannon and warned Mautz that he would cause him to resemble a sieve if he advanced further, which the lat ter did and was punctured by a sleep ing potion. At first it was thought that Mautz passed out, but on application of men tal telepathy, elbow grease and shoe polish he was resurrected and convinced that he was still extant and not the culinary implement he should have been. District Attorney Skryman will en deavor to prosecute Sax the full extent of the law. It is his desire to rid the campus environment of one who prowls about with malicious intent and an ever-ready trigger finger. Attorney Bradeson will represent the cannon toting defendant and will endeavor to free his client so that he may return for the opening of the football season next year. It is rumored that the packer of the lethal firespitter, who is out on a self indorsed check of ten thousand berries, (Continned on page three.) SUMMER SESSIOU SPECIAL MUSIC COURSES READY Beginning and Advanced Pub lic School Methods Will Be Offered in Session PAYMENT OF FEE REQUIRED New Methods in Piano Peda gogy Are Planned for Benefit of Prospective Teachers Plans for the regular summer session of the school of music have been prac tically completed, according to an an nouncement made by George Payntei Hopkins, instructor in piano, who is to direct the school this year. Several special courses have been planned and there will be opportunities for instruction in piano, voice, violiu and pipe organ to be given by members of the staff of the school of music. Mrs. Anna Landsbury Beck is offering comprehensive courses—beginning and advanced public school methods and history and appreciation of music. Mrs. Beck has taken special work in methods of teaching music in the pub lic schools and is an exceptionally effi cient teacher in this work. History and appreciaiton of music is a general course, which includes a discussion of practically all the schools and periods of music. The only requirement in these two courses is the payment of the regular summer school fee. Course Is Practical Special courses, which will have a small fee in addition to regular regis tration fee, will be given by George Hopkins. One of these is to be a course in elementary harmony, which is primarily designed for those who de sire a practical course in harmony. It is of particular interest to pianists, and is not merely a discussion of the theor etical side of music, but it will enable students to think and express them selves in musical terms, and make prac tical use of their knowledge. Another course Mr. Hopkins is offer ing is piano pedagogy, for teach ers of piano who wish to keep up on the newer methods of teaching piano liter ature and who cannot take the course for a full school year. All these courses have been designed for the benefit of instructors or prospective teachers of music. Private Instruction Available Special opportunities will be given students wanting private instruction in piano, voice, violin or organ. These classes are to be held by members of the staff of the school of music. Jane Thacher and George Hopkins will con duct classes in piano, Madame Bose Mc Grew will instruct in voice, and violin classes will be held by Bex Underwood, assisted by Alberta Potter. Bonald Eeid will give instruction in pipe or gan. University credit is given in any of the subjects offered by the school music only when the students in these courses are registered in the regular summer session of the University. Further information may be obtained from George Hopkins, at the school of music. DEAN STRAUB STATES PREPPERS ARE SERIOUS Junior Week-end Said to be Success; Guests Report They Are Royally Entertained by Campus Dean Straub did not characterize the past few days as the “biggest and best” Junior Week-end that he had ever witnessed, but he did say that he thought it was a very successful one, when an Emerald reporter interviewed him on the subject yesterday. No doubt he meant to say it, but was distracted by memory of the pretty visiting high school co-eds whom he had seen. He re marked with much emphasis “the girls were the best looking girls I have ever seen,” but scenting a riot among the University members of the gentler sex, hastily changed it to “the best looking preppers.” The Dean stated that all the preppers to whom he talked, and they were quite a number, told him that they had re ceived wonderful entertainment at the hands of the students. “They all seemed to be very happy and having a good time,” was the comment. Every thing went off well, the Dean thought, and summed it up as a good Junior Week-end. Concerning the preppers, “the Grand Old Man” said he considered them a high class group of young people. “They were full of the buoyancy of youth, but still all seemed to have the seriousness of life about them,” he said. Class Meetings Slated for This Evening; to Elect the Officers Tomorrow JUNIORS TO VOTE MAY 24 Names of Candidates To Be Written on Bulletin Boards at Polls Although it had been planned to have all class elections tomorrow, the jun ior class, held up by Junior Week-end work, will not choose the officers for next years seniors until Thursday. The freshman and sophomore classes will meet today for nominations. Nominations for senior officers will be made tomorrow afternoon at 5:00 o ’clock at a junior meeting in the assembly room of Villard hall. The freshman gathering will be in the as sembly hall this afternoon at 5:00, and the sophomores will get together in 107 Villard at 4:30. Polls in Villard The polls will be open in the hall downstairs in Villard from 9:00 a. m., to 3:30 p. m., Wednesday. There will be a ballot box for each class and a chairman in charge. Mary Hathaway has been appointed to watch over the sophomore election. The chairman for the frosh -yvill be named at the meeting this afternoon, according to President Eugene Richmond. Claude Robinson will guard the juniors ballot box Thurs day. James Meek, their president, has announced that voting may be done from 10:00 a. m. to 3:00 p. m. on that day. Ballots will not be printed for the class elections, but the names of the candidates will be placed on a bulletin board at the polls. The name of every one who applies for a ballot will be checked with the students lists, in ac cordance with the practice started in the student body elections this year. Closer cooperation between classes has been manifested in making the preparations for the elections. The leaders in the classes have worked to gether and for the first time have plan ned to hold the elections on the same day to avoid unnecessary and prolonged confusion that has been a feature of former class pollings. The unfortunate fact that Junior Week-end has left the juniors with a lot of other work on their hands has prevented them from cooperating with the other classes as they had planned Meek announced yes terday; but stnl even two class elec tions have never before been held on the same day. Present Officers The present officers of the classes ire: Seniors: Harold Simpson, president; [mogene Letcher, vice-president; Mar garet Scott, secretary; Ivan McKinney, treasurer; George Goclmour, sergeant at arms. Juniors: James Meek, president; Margaret Alexander, vice-president; Adah Harkness, secretary; Paul Sayre, treasurer; Eay McKeown, sergeant at arms. Sophomores: Ed Tapfer, president; Mary Hathaway, vice-president; Wil liam S. Sawtell, secretary; Winifred Graham, treasurer. Freshmen: Eugene Richmond, presi dent; Gerald Lawler, vice-president; Gladys Noren, secretary; Lea MacPike, treasurer. TWO COURTS NEARLY DONE Tennis Tournaments Saturday Will Be Played on New Ground Two of the new tennis courts on Beech street, east of the campus, will be completed, even to placing the nets by Saturday, according to Dr. J. F. Bovard. Work is being rushed on these courts in order that they may be ready for the tennis tournaments scheduled for that day. There are two other courts laid and practically finished, but the nets will probably not be put up on them until the entire number, ten in all, are ready for use, Dr. Bovard said. It is expected that they will be done by Commence ment. LAW CLASS TO HOLD CONTEST In the near future the law English class under the supervision of Ralph Hoeber, assistant instructor in the pub lic speaking department, will conduct an oratorical contest among the stu dents enrolled in the work. The class will first vote to determine the best speaker. Then Mr. Hoeber will select three or probably four of the best speakers and give a public oratorical contest at which the winner will re ceive a prize. It has not as yet been announced what the prize will be. GREEN SIGNS MAR CAMPUS SCENERY Frosh Numerals Deck Senior Property By M. S. The infants have been into mischief again. Anyway it is thought they have as there are unmistakible signs of left behind, like sticky finger-prints of .jam. Except that in this ease it is green paint tracing the numerals “ ’26” on that place sacred to seniors—the sen ior bench. The library steps are like wise decorated for all the University to see, and the senior fountain bears the same label with the addition of the frosh coat of arms—the skull and cross bones. (At least we think that’s what they meant it for.) Either such a demonstration is in dicative of a proud and haughty spirit showing itself after the burning of the green caps and the consequent incon spicuous appearance of youngsters not otherwise distinguished—or a realiza tion that the term of frosh-liood is about ended, and they can never again be noticed for rebellion. Still it may not have been the green cappers at all. It is yet unknown whether the sen iors will rise in wrath to chastise the violators of tradition, or humiliate them with crushing indifference. E, B .PIPED WILL SPEAK HI ASSEMBLY THURSDAY Has Had Consistant Career In Journalism on Coast Edgar B. Piper, editor of tho Port land Oregonian, will be the assembly speaker Thursday. Mr. Piper who is a newspaper man of wide experience, representative of the finest type of American journalism, is also rated as a speaker of marked ability. Ho has ap peared on the campus before students on several occasions, and his addresses are always keenly appreciated. Mr. Piper is a conservative editor, yet his contemporaries all admit his eminence in journalism on the coast and are proud to claim him. During the conference of the Oregon Ed.torial Association which was held here in March, he was one of the leading spirits in the discussions which look place, and he has long been recognized as a constructive ab well as a conservative leader of j ublic opinion Enough his popular ed'ioiial columns ;n the Ore gonian. Mr. Piper’s career has been consis tent with the idea of the proverbial ladder upon which success is attaiued Mr. Piper began his journalistic work in his early manhood in the office of the States Eights Democrat at Albany. In 1886 he was graduated from Willam ette University at Salem and some years later recognition was granted him for his journalistic service to the state and he was given an honorary L. L. D. from the same institution. For many years he was an active newspaperman in Seattle, San Francisco and Portland. He was at one time managing-editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and later for five years was managing-editor of the Oregonian. In 1909 he was pro moted to editor of that paper, on the death of Harvey W. Scott. He is a native of Indiana but has long claimed Oregon as his home and Portland as his headquarters. The topic of Mr. Piper’s address on Thursday has not been announced but the University community is assured of an interesting lecture on some mo dern phase of thought, according to those in charge of his appearance. Dur ing his day on the campus Mr. Piper will visit his sou, John Piper, who is a junior in the University and active in the school of journalism. PLEDGING ANNOUNCED Beta Theta Pi announces the pledg ing of Rolf Klep of Astoria. U. OF IN, PLAYED IN SEATTLE MONDAY ! Coach Bohler Invades North With Fifteen Varsity Stick Artists TEAM HAS HARD SCHEDULE Prospects Poor for Victoriies on Road Series; Baldwin Slated to Win Seventeen men, including Coach Boh ler and Manager Jack Meyers, left Sun day for the invasion of the north. Boh ler took with him four pitchers, two catchers, one extra outfielder and one utility infielder. Following are the men who made the trip: Cook and Wat son, catchers; Baldwin, Brooks, Shields and Stoddard, pitchers; Collins, Ross, Zimmerman, Latham and Moore, in fielders; Sorsby, Svarverud, Roycroft and Riugle, outfielders. First Game With Washington Yesterday’s game with Washington opened up the road series for the Var sity. They play again today and to morrow they will tangle with the Cou gars who handed them two severe trouncings here on the homo lot. From there, the team will journey to Moscow for a two game series with the Van dals. At this stop the Varsity should be able to send home the news of a couple of victories, as the Idaho team did not look any too strong on their two appearances on Cemetery Ridge. They managed to break even with the Var sity, winning the first game by a very close margin but the Varsity came back in the second contest and trimmed them. It must be remembered, how ever, that on their trip here the Van dals were handicapped by having both of their first string catchers on the sick list. Next Monday and Tuesday, Bohler and his crew will be in Walla Walla for a couple of games with Whitman. The missionaries have been consistenly rated by the dopesters as a flashy ag gregation and the Varsity will probably have its hands full when the Whitman games are called. Prospects Look Bad The prospects for a majority of Ore gon wins on the northern trip are not any too bright and unless the team plays better ball on the road than it did at home, it is entirely possible that Oregon will not take more than one contest. Lefty Baldwin usually has several wins in his system during the year and thus far the doughty south paw from the land of the pineapple has not been able to get them out. That doesn’t say that he hasn’t pitched some inightly good ball for in the first game with Idaho on the home field, Lefty performed nicely on the mound but the breaks wore against him. , Brooks, who has been doing some ef fective work as a relief pitcher, stands to add a victory to his record but it not probable that it will be over the Huskios or the Cougars as both of those teams are heavy hitting nines. BANQUET IS POSTPONED The mothers’ banquet which was to have been given Wednesday, May 23 by the Triangles of the Eugene division of the Girls’ Reserve Corps, has been postponed until some time next week because of the illness in the Geary school. Members of the Triangles, who are under the supervision of the Uni versity Y. W. C. A. plan to give the banquet for the mothers of the girls who belong to the Girls’ Reserves. They will arrange the decorations, program and invitations themselves and will pre sent the Girls’ Reserve code after the banquet as a part of the program. Seniors in Architecture Work On Special Research Problem Special research problems as part of their requirement for Bachelor of Science in architecture are the works of seniors in the department of archi tecture. An effort is being made to get away from the stereotype sort of work and cultivate originality and indi vidual feeling in design. The men chose their own problems, and are also working out the sites. A student union buibling for the Uni versity of Oregon, with assembly hall, cafeteria, offices, and the like, is Dick Sundeleaf’s problem. It is being de signed with an idea of tying in with the campus buildings architecturally, yet with an attempt to get away from the academic type of building. A peace memorial 700 or 800 feet high to be plaee% on the top of a hill, is being designed by Jesse Green. George Wolff is doing a Masonic tem ple of an Egyptiou character—four) floors high, built with a huge pilon in front, and blank walls decorated in col ored bas-reliefs to add a certain mys tery. The top of Skinner’s Butte has been selected by Truman Phillips as the site for a group of buildings—a Methodist school, living quarters, auditorium, re fectory and cathedral, all in the Gothic manner, with a wide walk up the butte to the catchedral as the central point. James Bradway is designing a recre ation center on a lake site, with swim ming pools, casino, playgrounds and tennis courts. Guy Koepp is designing an auditorium for the campus, with an effort toward making it uniform with the architectural work already here.
