RADIO
By Edward Bobbins
That it is as easy to express the
personality by means of the speak
ing voice over the radio as any
other way is the opinion of Pro
fessor Fergus Reddie, head of
drama and speech arts department,
who is to broadcast a reading on
“Huck Finn,” from station K G W,
January 31.
“Cold or harsh voices are indexes
to personality. The tight voice and
the overflowing voice of William
Jennings Bryan, or some other
great orator, are other expressions
of personality,” he said.
Pausing, used effectively by stage
artists, Professor Reddie believes
to be one of the best means for
expressing personality. “It gives
the audience time to think things
out,” he said.
“The only difference between the
radio actor and the stage actor is
that the former must imagine his
audience in using the science of
pausing.”
The University’s X-ray in the
health service department in the
north end of Friendly hall has
been furnishing considerable dis
turbance in the radio world around
Eugene, according to reports from
nearby fans. The rays emitted from
the machine furnish the same inter
ference that eomes from an arc
light, except on a greater scale.
Herschel Taylor, owner of the
Campa Shoppe six-tube Federal re
ceiving set, tells about experiment
ing the other nightwith his loop
antenna.
He turned the loop in all direc
tions and the direction of the Uni
versity proved the loudest source
of his crackling noise and static
interference. This trouble is prom
inent only on certain nights. The
latest reports indicate that it
comes either from the X-ray ma
chine of the health department or
from the electric motor in the
printing plant.
• With the closing of the series of
lectures on “Oregon Resources” this
month the extension division will
continue its work in the radio field
work for February by broadcasting
some popular lectures. Dr. W. D.
Smith, professor of geology on the
campus, will give a lecture Friday,
February 1, on “Earthquakes.” The
program for February also* includes
talks on the Bok Peace Plan and
the tax situation.
Many Give Ideas
of Junior Week-end
(Continued from page 1)
that junior week-end should be a
time when the juniors entertained
the rest of the University. Another
favored having guests present, but
doing away with certain features
like the campus luncheon. A senior
man favored a week-end without
guests as a recess in a vacationless
spring term.
Conference is Better
Those who favored doing away
with junior week-end entirely point
ed out the fact that the conference
of high school officers accomplish
ed the same purpose with better ef
fect.
One senior stated that the high
school editors, managers, and stu
dent body officers conference held
here a short time ago is doing a far
greater work in that the students
who attend are the pick of Ore
gon’s youth, chosen from the high
schools all over the state, regard
less of financial circumstances.
A junior woman speaking of the
value of the conference in compari
son to junior week-end, said: “Seri
ous minded high school students
came here with a serious purpose;
they saw the University, a working
unit, and not as a place of con
tinual entertainment.” A senior wo
man stated much the same opinion:
“The high school conference,
mother’s day and junior week-end
should be combined in one, inviting
people who really are interested.”
The question is still under dis
cussion and will be for some time
to come.

simplest of words of three syllables
or less.
Of course all these stories have
a moral. They usually devote fifteen
or twenty chapters to passion, and
then dedicate the remaining chapter
to the moral. And, in all justice
to the authors, it is usually a good
moral, even if it has no bearing on
the bulk of the book.
N. B. “Mad Love” has just been
suppressed. It's author, By0 Heeh,
is being prosecuted by the postal
authorities. Orders for this volume
are pouring into the publishers by
■ the thousands. The most popular
books for the last month at the
i University library in the order of
preference were: “Town and
Gown,” “Black Oxen,” “End of
House of Alard,” “Janet March,”
and “Don Juan.”
“Hour Hand,” Folk
Opera of Alpine Life
(Continued from page one)
and their tyrants recalls the story
of William Toll and lus adventures.
M ith such a setting the opera car
ries one through many tense scenes
to a powerful climax.
“ ‘The Oath on the Rutli,’ a
tableau which occurs during the
overture, is the kevnote to the his
torical significance of the opera,”
| continued Mrs. Beck. The Oath on
; the Rutli is the Magna Charta of
! Switzerland; it was. taken in the
year 12-15 by the three leaders of
the Forest Cantons of Switzerland.
These intrepid men met secretly at
night, on an almost inaccessible
mountain, and swore a solemn oath
to drive the oppressor out of their
beloved country forever, choosing
as their motto, “One for all, and
all for one.”
Bits of local color are furnished
by the “Ranz des Vaehes” or
“Cow Calls,” played upon the Alp
horn, and by the yodel. These are
incorporated into some of the songs
and choruses portraying the village
life. Notable among these are
“The Song of the Cheese Girl,”
“The Wine Chorus,” “The Clock
maker’s Song,” and “The Cow
Herd’s Serenade.”
Perhaps one of the most fascinat
ing compositions in the opera is
“The Ghost Song.” This is based
upon an old folk tune in minor, and
words of ancient legends are used.
The men, in omnious vein, sing of
the “rocky clumps where goblins
hide,” “the creeping shadow's,”
“giants with mouths like caves,”
and “breath that is mist upon the
mountain top.” The girls, fleeing,
recount to each other in hopes of
reviving their courage, tales of
“Alpine fairies who flit about,”
making themselves visible to those
wrho can be “trusted with their
seerets.” A chorus and ghost dance
end the finale, terrifying all.
“The story of ‘The Hour Hand,’
in brief,” concluded Mrs. Beck, “is
a blending of political intrigue,
clocks, herdsmen, and charming
festival gaiety which reckons with
the Swiss characteristics of courage,
self-reliance and love of liberty.”

“The mean trick that I used to
see happen as high'as five times a
day, was to see two upperclassmen
strolling along with some young
lady. .Tust ahead would be the
knowledge- seeking frosli, innocent
of the thick plots about him. Ac

catch up writh the youngster, and
bid him ‘hello.’ In the course of a
few minutes, she would tell her two
former companions that the frosli
had been rude, and the ‘green
capper’ was ducked in the pond,”
is a yarn told by Turpin.
And then there was the first soc

Sport Chatter
by
MONTE BYEES
Oregon and the Aggies are both
splashing around in the same pud
dle now. Huntington has resigned
and Rutherford has followed suit,
leaving both institutions without a
football mentor for the coming year.
Oregon has started her search for
a leader. The Aggies have un
doubtedly started their campaign.
The woods are full of coaching
applicants; also full of colleges
looking for new coaches. There
are in this United States several
mentors of caliber available, and |
the question is what school will get
them. It’s going to be a race for
the coaching department store, just
like the Christmas rush.
The first there is going to get
the best purchase. The others are
going to get second bests and medio
cre men. The race isn’t for a
championship at the present time,
but indirectly it leads up to that.
Shop early is a good motto for
these coachless colleges to follow
right now.
The race for the conference cham
pionship this year is going to be
interesting to watch. All five of
the big institutions have strong
teams. O. A. C., Washington State,
Huskies and the Idaho Vandals
have been going nicely in the
early games. Montana and Whit
man have fighting quintets, which
might surprise the others at some
stage of the game. The invasions
of the other fives to the local
armory ought to draw the crowds.
International competition is prov
ing popular nowadays. The Har
vard-Yale tennis combination will
probably journey across the Atlantic
this summer and take part in a
series of matches with the Oxford
Cambridge team. Combined track
teams from the four schools have
competed before.
The winter section of the Olym
pics are underway now at Cham
oxix in the French Alps. Skating,
ice hockey and skiing are the main
events on the winter program. T'he
skating team and skiing representa
tives sailed for the European na
tion January 16. The ski team in
cluded four champions of the United
States. ■
Society is taking up soccer in
the east. Good stuff. Now the
male element of the “400” can
cultivate a health boot and kick
their partners at bridge under the
table in the approved fashion.
