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

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.

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,

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.

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.
