FOLK OPERA TO “The Hour Hand’’ Has New Cast and Scenery SWISS FOLK ARE THEME Second Performance Will be Given in Portland “The Hour Hand,” a, folk opera by Anne Landsbury' Beek, of the school of music, will again be pre sented on the campus January 111. This wil mark its second appear ance in Eugene. However, it boasts an almost entirely new cast, scen ery, and various changes in the orche: ‘ration. “The Hour Hand” will also be presented in Portland at the Hcilig theater on February G. This per formance is being made possible by the great interest and encourage ment. received t’/ere. The Swiss colony of Portland are much in terested in the operetta, as the , theme deals entirely with people of Switzerland, and in various ways they have indicated their profound interest in the success of the per- ■ formance in Portland. Tiekets for the Portland produc-, tion are now on sale at Slier- , man, Clay and company in that city, and tickets can be reserved by i mail bv writing to W. G. Bangle at the Heilig theater. Mrs. Warren G. Thomas has charge of the ticket sale in Portland, and Mrs. Beck feels very fortunate in procuring her services as she is very adept in that line of work, having had charge of the ticket sale for the Chicago Grand Opera company when they visited Portland re cently. The University Orchestra will ac- j company the cast of “The Hour, Hand” to Portland to play at the : performance, and in all Mrs. Beck is taking 55 people on the trip. ! While there, they will stay at the j Imperial hotel. The scenery will also be transported to Portland,, making it an entirely All-Univer sity production. “The Hour Hand” was very suc cessfully presented on the campus last year, and the performance this year promises to be even better, as it is being greatly enlarged, and all details are being improved. : Many who saw it last year are anticipating the coming production.: Ted Ciillenwater is acting as j business manager, and Mrs. Beck . is in Portlnad at the present time completing arrangements for the production in that city.

Scott believes that a team could he arranged from the schools of journal ism, education, business administra tion, law, music, architecture, physical education and geology. Mr. Scott would like to see all of those interested in forming such a league so that a schedule can he arranged. Games will be arranged to play a game or two a week at the most convenient time.

That’s how much wood it takes now to run the new power plant which is heat ing all the buildings on the campus,” H. M. Fisher, superintendent of build ings and grounds, told an Emerald reporter yesterday. “It takes six men to feed the grates under the boilers, two on a shift and three shifts, in addition to four men, a truck and a team, to move the wood from the yard to the power plant.” The new plant, according to Mr. Fisher, was steamed up a few days before the start of the Christmas vacation and was switched over to the heating system two days prior to the beginning of the vacation. At first it was not working at a maxi mum exicieney and did not heat all of the buildings, but at present the new plant is heating all the build ings ami is doing it in a satisfactory manner. The hog fuel conveyor is not yet complete and none of the fuel is on the ground as yet. As soon as the installation is complete the plant will discontinue the use of cordwood. It is expected that the electrically operated conveyor and the rest of the system will bo in working order with in three weeks and that the plant will be operating with the fuel for which it was designed by that time. The interior of the new headquar ters of the University Depot is near ing completion. The glass partition ! is complete except for a coat of paint ; and the carpenter work on the in terior is practically finished. With in a few days, according to Mr. Fish er, the interior of the University Depot will appear minus the con fusion, the shavings and the inten- j sided smell of wet paint which has prevailed for the past three weeks. EXPERIENCED MEN OUT FOR FRESHMAN SQUAD (Continued from page one) Lee, Seliroeder, Kaitera, Agee, Taylor and Wrightman. The players are smaller than last year's freshman quintet, but they appear faster and perhaps shiftier. The forwards will be fast and- carry the ball consistenty from any angle. A tali, fast center, both a good shot and a good floorman is assured with Flynn, Okerberg, Shulte and I Carter turning out far the" pivot : job. The guards will be small j from all indications, but they are fast, close checkers and good shots. To get these men from various , institutions to working well to gether will be the taslc of Coach Evans, who is serving for the first i time as frosh meutor at Oregon. ! Evans has had experience as a coach ; of" basketball, both in the east and j in the state, having trained the Gresham high team last season.

Modernism Slowly, insiduously there has seep- | ’’ ed into the church of the present day a new mental point of view. It is simply a reflection of the new mental habits of the age in which we live. It has been happily named Modernism, for it is just that—an absorbtion by the ministry and laity of the churches of Christendom of the modern view point. It is capable of enriching and broadening the life of the churches. Indeed it has already done so. But incidentally yet quite inevitably this Modernism is. out of sympathy with the ancient creeds and dogmatisms of the church, considered as an his toric institution. It can, it is true, use the ancient creeds, expressing a theology based on antique assump tions of unique authority resident in the instituted church and the in fallibility of the inspired Bible as the word of God. but Modernism can use all this only figuratively and symbolically, as the vesture for a nobler faith for moderns. Within recent years those within the churches who cling closely to the old expressions of faith, to the in fallibilities of the Church of Christ and the inspired book, together with the doctrines centering around the vic^mus sacrificial death of Christ, have been aroused to a sense of danger. They see more clearly than Modernists within the church that the whole bod* of their doctrine is being slowly disintegrated, that it cannot live in the atmosphere of Mod ernism. This party calling themselves Fundamentalists have become milit ant and frankly say they intend to cast out these heretical Modernists from the fold of Orthodoxy. Unitarianism rejected most of the ancient doctrines of the Orthodox church a century ago. Within Unitar ianism there was no resistance to the reception of modern point of view. The theory of evolution came as a greatly desired illumination of their quest for truth. So Unitarianism to day can in some degree play the prophetic role. Unitarians know from experience about where Modernism arrives philosophically. Next Sunday the Rev. Frank Fay Eddy of the Unitarian Church will begin a series of sermons dealing with the significance of Modernism and its probable evolution. The theme of the first of these sermons will be “The Fundamentalism of a Modernist.” The soloist at this sendee will be Uora Teschner, cellist. There is a class in New Testa ment, History led by Mrs. Vera Todd Crow for University women, and a class in philosophy, led by Mr. Eddy, both of whieh meet in the 'Manse at the hour of the Chureb Bchool im mediately following the Morning Service. The church is located on East Eleventh Avenue at Ferry Street. The hour of Morning Service is W:4~> | o ’clock. The men and women of the Uni versity arc cordially invited to all the services of this church, which likes to describe itself as “The Little j Church of the Human Spirit.” (Paid Advertisement) speak at the installation banquet of I Alpha Omega Alpha, an honorary ! fraternity, which has just granted a | charter to the Univeisity of Oregon ! j Medical school.

For centuries before Franklin flew his kite in 1751 philosophers had been speculating about the nature of lightning. With elec trified globes and charged bottles, others had evolved the theory that the puny sparks of the laboratory and the stupendous phenom enon of the heavens were related; but Franklin substituted fact for theory — by scientific experiment Roaring electrical discharges, man-made lightning as deadly as that from the clouds, are now produced by scientists in the Re search Laboratories of the General Electric Company.
