S. U. O. con cert series, with the appearance of Guy Maier and Lee Pat tison, dual pianists. The 1925 concert program has a standard already set for it by past seasons, including such artists as Anna Case and Salvi. The student body may well stop and ask itself: what place has music been given at the University of Oregon? One may also ask: what is the future of music in the University’s traditions? Freshmen will tonight, for the first time, realize that they can be admitted to a concert on the same student body ticket which admits them to a football or basketball game. They will realize that music has a part to play—officially. Behind the machinery which made possible this easy admit tance to the concert lay a genuine appreciation of music as an art. The idea was developed that concerts were a necessary part of education; that pleasure of this type had a refining, a cultural significance. Presently an amendment to the student body constitution was passed, providing an allotment from reg istration fees to make these musical entertainments possible on a soigid financial basis. And all this is within the space of a senior’s memory. It is by means such as this that education on the broad and wholesome scale of a state university can be given that “sweet ness and light” which one seeks in the old world cultures. It is one with a development of certain tastes. And it is one of the blessed examples of the luxury becoming a : ecessity. Anyone who happened to make the trip around Fairmount loop Sunday via tin* streetcar was perhaps impressed by the fact that several of the conductors and their ladies were enjoy ing a holiday ride. It sets one pondering as to how a professor spends his Sundays. There are no rules for women at Baylor University. One of the things considered “improper,” however, is “leaving candy and cake in rooms because it encourages mice.” This younger generation. . . . “Those Charms That Soothe” Speculation * # # # From now on the girls will devise one scheme or another by means of which they will eventually change their winter “steadies" for a new, more thrilling spring variety.

And that, when it did come, every night would be moon lit.

Now Professor Daniel Kilham Dodge of the University of Illinois is convinced, after many years of thought, that Lincoln did not write the immortal Gettysburg address impromptu-ly, as we might sav. And to think that for all these years we have believed that Lincoln wrote the piece while riding on a railroad train. Could have sworn that he did indeed. How do the persons who wield these wicked hammers expect us ever to have any American tradi tions? As soon as we build up a charming legend, they go and break it down. Soon we shall be told, by someone who has investigated the matter, that Herr Van Winkle did not sleep exactly twenty years, and that Nathan Hale never made that enviable mot about his life and his country. Rut to stop playing with the pro fessors. The point is this, that they concern themselves too often with destroying legends that amount to nothing. The fact that Abe wrote “four score and seven years ago” in his study and not on the train does not detract from the excellence of the article. But what did Lin coln believe about more important things? The investigators shatter only inconsequential idols. Give them trip hammers.—Ohio State Lantern. TO FRESHMEN FIVE Freshmen and seniors came out vietors in the women 'a interelass basketball games last night. This exactly reverses the situation as it stood last Friday night at the elose of the first two games of the series and leaves eaeli class with a total score of one toward winning the cup. The senior-junior game, which ended .1(5-19. was exceptionally fast from the first whistle. In the first half, the senior team established an overwhelming lead. Grace Sulli van, the senior forward, shot 9 baskets and Wilma Manley .1, while the senior guards held the juniors down to 2 goals apiece. Tn the second half. Mildred On slow. junior forward shot basket for basket with Grace Sullivan, leaving the senior team at the end of the half, ahead by one point. The jun iors were materiallv handicapped by vaccinations. Mildred Onslow, forward, and Wanda Plincz, center, on the junior team were unable to do justice to their real ability be cause of vaccinations at a serious stage in the process of “taking.” The freshman second team de feated the sophomore second team “0 to IS. This is the closest game of the series so far. The majority of baskets were made in the first half. T.illian T,odors, sophomore forward, was the high point player of the two teams leading Florence Grebe, freshman forward, by one point. The half ended 14-1.1 to the credit of the freshman. Captains for the remaining teams were elected as follows: freshman second team, Fleanot; Glass; sopho more second team. Ronn Williams: junior first team. Wanda Plincr; senior first team, Mildren Crain. LOOMING EVENTS I Tuesday, February 10 8:00 p. m.'—Concert, Guy Maier, and Lee Pattison, Wo man’s building. Bring student body tickets.

Brown, debate coach. The topic is, Resolved: “That the constitution should be so amended to enable Congress to re-enact by a two-thirds vote, legislation over ruled by the Supreme Court.” j Under existing conditions, the Su j preme Court has the power to over i rule bills passed by Congress. The case of the Child Labor problem was mentioned by Mr. Brown as an example of legislative function ings. At two different periods this bill was passed by Congress and j each time ruled down by the Su preme Court. The reasons, he states, for the 8,1Kges.ti°n of changes in the pres ent methods is because Congress is in closer contact with the citizens. Furthermore congressmen are elect ed for short periods, while Su preme Court appointments extend for life. “These are a few of the reasons,” said Mr. Brown, “which explain the popularity of the subject for de bate. This question has been used I by a number of universities for de bating this year.” There is also an element of 5m portanee connected with it, as La | Follette made use of it as an issue I in his presidential campaign. The topic is similar in most re spects to the case of the O. A. C. debate last month. Certain points, however, have been strengthened and almost entirely worked over. The Oregon affirmative team composed of Benoit McCrosky and Ralph Bailey will uphold their case against the Idaho negative group in Villard hall. Sol Abram son and Lincoln Erwin, the nega tive section, will meet the Univer sity of Washington affirmative at Seattle. Seventeen minutes will be al lowed each debater for his con structive speech and 7 minutes for rebuttal. “This is the greatest debate of the season for Oregon,” Mr. Brown said. “All the men participating have had previous experience as varsity debaters.” At the Theatres I «■ r—--♦ THE REX—Second day: Cecil j B.
