STUDENT UNION DRIVE DEPENDS ON A. S. U. 0 (Continued from page one) bition to do something for the in stitution which had made them fit to graduate from it, and they seized upon the cause of the student union to promulgate and popularize. Mac Gregor got the dope on existing stu dent unions and he told it to his cronies. They got their heads to gether and figured as how the Ore gon campus could well be provided with one if they only could scare up the money. It was just around that tune that President Campbell’s gift campaign notion began to take effect. So the two plans were combined. At least, the student union was incorporated in the plans for the $10,000,000. And then the seniors agreed to pledge sup port to the gift campaign with the understanding that their contribu tions should be assigned to the stu dent union fund. And so the student union egg was laid, incubated, and is about to be hatched now. It should be the golden egg of happiness. For the union, it is hoped, will foster Oregon democra cy, and kindle brighter the sparks of good feeling with which the campus is blessed today. __ APBIL FACULTY MEETING POSTPONED UNTIL APBIL 9 The April faculty meeting which was to have been held today has been postponed until April 9 be cause President Campbell is out of town and Dean Dyment is ill. Finery Insurance Agency flepresentative for OREGON FIRE RELIEF ASSOCIATION 37 9th Avenue West Phone 667 CLUBHOUSE PLANNED NEAR TENNIS COURTS New Recreational Facilities to be Provided for Students and Townspeople Plans which will make an all-round recreation center where the tennis courts are at present, were announced yesterday by John F. Bovard, dean of the physical education department. The first step will be the erection of a club house, which will have hot and cold water, and other facilities. The clubhouse will be attractively designed, with a large porch running the full length of it . It will face on Onyx street, with the porch facing the recreation grounds. This will also be the ground headquarters, and it is planned to install a telephone, so that courts may be reserved for any time during the day. In addition to the clubhouse, the vacant ground surrounding the courts is to be improved, and several recre ational facilities provided. When the courts are crowded, these may be utilized, while the children who are too young to play tennis can find something to do while waiting for their parents. Bowling greens, horse shoe grounds, and croquet grounds are included in the plans. The recreation center will be so designed as to be attractive to resi dents of Eugene as well as students. Lockers are to be installed and i rented to townspeople in the new club- ! house, and the rent from these will j be used to improve the grounds, and for general upkeep. .Dean Bovard urges that students and others make as much use of the courts as possible, and that towns people be informed that there is plenty of playing space between the hours of 5 in the afternoon and dark. The courts have been fairly busy during the middle of the day so far this spring, but it is the aim of the department to utilize them to a maxi mum degree during the entire day. The courts are so constructed that within 15 minutes after a rain they can be played upon, the Dean points out. A six-inch slope on each court, and gutters, takes care of all water, while the courts are swept immediate ly following each shower to hasten the drying. During the month of March there were but three days when the courts could not have been played upon, it is stated. Four courts have been reserved for class and other competition, and for regular classes. The varsity also has a court, and several men are working out every day. After 5 o’clock the courts are open to anyone. ELBERT BEDE GIVES TALKS TD STUDENTS Cottage Grove Editor Is Guest at Luncheon Elbert Bede, editor of the Cottage Grove Sentinel, former president of the State Editorial association, a man well known on the University campus, told of some of his experiences in the newspaper world to the journal ism students yesterday. In informal talks before the classes in editing and publishing he gave the students an opportunity to quiz him on various phases of active newspaper work. “The community will admire an editor who will express honest opin ion and who has the backbone to stay with it,” Mr. Bede declared. The editor who is honest in his opin ions need not fear to champion causes which are unpopular in the commun ity in which he lives,” he said. Mr. Bede feels that it is not enough for a newspaper to present merely facts and allow the readers to draw’ their own conclusions. In his opinion the editor has an addi tional duty to that of giving the news of the community. He should also give editorial opinon and leadershp. In the opinion of the Cottage Grove editor scandal and sensational news have no place in the columns of a paper. “The attempt to gain a cer tain result of an attack on the per sonal character of an individual is almost sure to be a failure,” Mr. Bede said. In addition to his appearance be fore the two journalism classes yes terday morning he was a guest of Sigma Delta Chi, men’s professional journalism fraternity, at a luncheon at the Anchorage. At this meeting various problems which sometime con front an editor were put before the journalism students for their solu tion by Mr. Bede. “An editor will have to face each situation as it comes up,” Mr. Bede said. “There is no rule whereby a definite policy to be followed on all occasions can be arrived at.” PENN STATE STUDENTS HAVE COURTESY WEEK University of Pennsylvania— Penn State students will have to watch their p’s and q’s when dating for the latest stunt of the women students is a campaign for courtesy. Under the direction of the Y. W. C. A., this week and last, were of ficially designated as “courtesy weeks.” Short talks by leaders of the women’s student ^government, discussion on aids to courtesy and pamphlets on etiquette are means by which co-eds are brushing up on fine points. An illustrated talk was given in which, various holds such as the “stilletto” grip on the fork, the “baby grab” on the knife, the “germ carrier” on the glass and “gang planks” on the sides of dishes were illustrated.

HIGH SCHOOL SOCIETIES DISFAVORED ON CAMPUS Inter - fraternity Council Takes Definite Action As an outgrowth of the recent, controversy in Portland over the existence of Greek letter secret so cieties in the high schools there, the University inter-'fraternity council has started action to curtail the ac tivities of such groups. In a general discussion before the council last night it was disclosed that on the whole, fraternity men on the campus are opposed to the activities of the so-called high school fraternities. It was also decided that members of the council should discuss with their respective fraternities the definite steps to be taken in break ing up the activities of the high school organizations. Seasons for the action of the University men are, namely, that the existence of such organizations in high schools tend to cast reflections on fraternities in general; that in such high school groups the students, because they are young, often show poor judg ment and do things that are out of place, that such groups create cliques in the high schools, and that through the activities of such groups the high school students get a wrong attitude of fraternities, and a different attitude than is ex pressed in college fraternities. DR. CROSLAND’S TALK ATTRACTS ATTENTION The material contained in a speech on the “Psychology of proof-read ing,” given by Dr. H. R. Crosland, of the psychology department, during the convention of journalists held at the University of Oregon in February, has met with considerable interest in various parts of the United States. Many requests for complete informa tion on the subject which has re quired two years to compile into work able data have been sent to Crosland. Summaries of the address were sent by Leonard Lerwill and Ralph D. Casey, to various newspaper syn dicates, and subsequently published in the Science Monthly, the Editor and Publisher and other magazines. Dr. Crosland is considering offers from book publishers to have iiis work assembled and edited in complete form, but as yet he has taken no def inite steps in this regard. DR. CONKLIN TO TELL OF RESEARCH RESULTS Psychology Professor Has Articles Printed Dr. Edmund S. Conklin, the speaker for the assembly, has con ducted much work in psychological research and has several of his papers on this work published.

The assembly will be held in Vil lard hall, instead of the Woman’s building. The. music for the as sembly has not yet been announced. CHORAL TECHNIQUE FEATURES CONCERT (Continued from page one) ness of harmony that makes it a pleasing relief from the necessary light and more or less inconsequen tial character of most things writ ten for women’s voices ensemble. “The Last Tea pf Tsuki,” by Blim, was a colorful number. The club made a charming picture in pretty Japanese costumes with ef fective colored lights and more or less of incessant motion and flut tering of fans throughout the whole piece. The old Japanese legend that a poet, a famous tea-master, as semble® his guests in his gardens in that mysterious hour before the daw’n. He is about to commit hara kiri. and this is his farewell tea. The “atmosphere” is further en hanced by the fact that this takes place in the season of Tsuki, the waning moon. The guests flutter about and drink tea, a few of them improvising little song poems for the amusement of the company. The old poet does not offer a poem; in stead, at the moment of the sinking of the moon, a nightingale sings. The music, necessarily Oriental, is not so much so that it is not ex ceedingly pleasing to Occidental ears; there is a wierdness about it that the melancholy monotonous Oriental strain acipentuatds. The incidental solos were taken by Gwladys Keeney, Mildred Berkeley, Kuth Akers and Leona Gregory. Buth Akers, soprano, sang “The Spirit Flower,” by Campbell-Tip ton. Miss Akers was in good voice; though her winning personality and her dignified stage presence contri bute the most to her success. She CALL 80 for a Yellow Cab was enthusiastically received by the audience. Bernice Yeo, pianist and accom panist of the club, played a difficult and complicated thing of Chopin’s, ‘Fantasie,” in F minor. While Miss Yeo's playing is technically ac curate and easy, her playing last night lacked life- and meaning. She was rather inclined to hurrying through her pieces, leaving an in definite impression of restlessness. , APRIL FROLIC PLANS NEARING COMPLETION Five Dollar Prize Offered for Best Costume; Balcony ifeats Held for Spectators Rehearsals for April Frolic, to be given Saturday evening, April 5 aro well under way and the Woman’s building is the scene of many secret and mystical practices.
