The fel low you’re going to work for next year, or maybe the next—anyway after you have graduated from the University? Plans are now being made by the faculty mem bers of the school of journalism and Sigma Delta Chi whereby this very thing may be possible for the campus scribes. On Thursday afternoon at 5 o ’clock, a general assembly of all the campus scribes—freshflien, sophomores, juniors and seniors, those who work on the Emerald and those who don’t—will be held in the assembly room of the shack. “Kap” Kuhn, presiding, will then explain to the embryo journalists how each may form, a real talking acquaintance with one or more of the editors, real up and coming newspaper editors ' who are to hold their annual con ference at the University on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. Every student ought to be there, says “Kap.” We want them all to attend the sessions of the conference and meet their future employers. PROBLEMS OF Y|UTH TO BE LECTURE TOPIC Mrs. Virginia B Demarset Will Speak in Villard A special lecture for University students will be given in Villard hall Thursday by Mrs. Virginia Booth-Clibborn Demarest, noted evangelist now appearing daily in the armory. “The Glory of Youth,” is the theme of the lecture. It will btart promptly at 1 o’ciock. The campus address is being ar ranged under the auspices of the United Christian Work of the Uni versity with Henry W. Davis, stu dent pastor, in charge. This will probably be the only appearance of the woman evangelist on the cam pus as her series of revival meetings in Eugene ends this month. The talk will not be over an hour in length and all students should try to attend the affair, said Mr. Davis. Mrs. Demarest will have some thing of vital importance to say to the young people of the University. She is a woman of rare refinement and personality and has drawn large crowds wherever she has ap peared, according to Mr. Davis. Thousands of Eugene townspeople, business men and students attend her meetings in the armory daily. The usual characteristics of a re vivalist are lacking in Mrs. Demar est in that she is calm and collected in her talks. The air of excitement usually found at a revival meeting ; <t lacking in most of her appear ances though she fires her audience with her earnestness and heart to heart appeals. The address at Vil Inrd Thursday will not be in the form of a revival meeting but will be merely a lecture on religious problems of youth. SENIORS TO PAY DIPLOMA / FEE AT BUSINESS OFFICE The diploma fee of $10 for seniors is now payable at the business of fice, is the word from that depart ment. Seniors are admonished tc not put off payment of this fee to( long, as it is an essential for gradu ation. One month before the elosi of school is the latest date that fee; will be accepted. CONCERT INCLUDES OLD SONGS AND SEVERAL OPERA NUMBERS By Emily Houston The most delightful concert, giv en last night by Florence Easton, prima donna soprano, and Elinor Bemiek Warren, assisting artist, was composed of excellent num bers on the program and a ist of fourteen other numbers from which the audience selected for encores. Miss Easton sang nine of the list for encores at the insistance of the audience. Miss Easton can scarcely be praised too highly for the pleasure she gives not only by her clear and ♦ exquisitely beautiful voice but fo her own personality and the inter pretation which she gives of th songs. Of especial merit also wa Miss Warren, who is herself a mu sician and a composer, having wri1 ten three of the numbers given The “Children of the Moon,” writ ten by her and sung by Miss Eas ton was especially pleasing and i: playful mood had to be repeated. Miss Easton sang in several Ian guages.

W. C. A. at the election held yesterday. Beatrice Peters is vice-president; Virginia Keeney, undergraduate representa tive; Nancy Peterson, secretary; Dorothy Delzqll, treasurer. The retiring officers are Flor ence Buck, president; Mary Don alson, vice-president; Helen An drews, undergraduate representa tive; Beatrice Peters, secretary; and Mary Beth Smith, treasurer. “No definite plans have been formed for next year,” said Miss Florence Magowan, secretary of the Y. W. C. A. The cabinet will be chosen at the end of this term, or soon after vacation, by the elec ; ted officers. Elective officers and chairmen of the committees on membership, finance, religious edu cation, world fellowship, service, meetings, church co-operation, so cial, bungalow, publicity, personnel, and freshman commission, form the cabinet. Announcements of the election re turns were made at the thirty-first anniversary and eighth annual ban quet of the Y. W. C. A., held at the College Side Inn last evening. Y. W. Friendship Stressed Florence Buck, toastmistress, in troduced Mary Donalson, who rep resented the seniors. Miss Donal son stressed the importance of the deep friendships brought about by Y. W. C. A. associations. She liken ed seniors to the Evening Star, in that their college career is coming i to a close but they will go out in the world to shine in other places. Betty Manning represented the un derclass members of the Y. W. C. A. Miss Buck introduced Mrs. Bruce Giffen as a representative of the Y. W. C. A. advisory board which acts as the North or guiding star of that organization. Mrs. Gif fen voiced the desire of the board to be a true guide and help to the girls. Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterlv, dean of women, compared the Northern Lights to the faculty, asking seve ral professors why the Northern Lights were similar to the facility, she received various answers, Mrs. Esterly said. One man said the faculty are similar in that they shine seldom and are often dull. The distance between scholars and the college students impressed many as similar to the great dis tance of these lights from the earth. Mrs. Esterly said she disliked this separation of the professors and their pupils and hoped for closer co-operation. Spirit of Youth Active Henrietta Thompson, national Y, W. C. A. worker, who has been trav eling over the United States and particularly the Pacific coast, in the interests of foreign students spoke at the banquet. She sug I gested the idea that the thing tha1 j has kept the Y. W. young and ac I tive is its spirit of youth. Th< spirit of adventure is necessary ii the Y. W. C. A., she said. The musical program was a pian< solo, a vocal solo and a trio of pi ano, violin and cello. Mildret Welch sang “Love’s A Merchant,’ by Carew.

JEWISH LEADER WILL HE SPEAKER AT ASSEMBLY Rabbi Wise is- Coming to Campus Tomorrow “Some Creative Things and Their Evidences” is ^the topic announced for the address by Babbi Jonah B. ;Wise, of Portland, for this week’s assembly. Those who recall the .Babbi’s former visits promise some thing more than a lecture by the head of a religious organization. One of the characteristics which has contributed to the popularity of Babbi Wise as a public speaker is his ability to tell humorous stories. “He is a man of keen wit,” said Dr. E. S. Conklin of the psychology department, and then he proceded to ^relate numerous incidents typical; ,'of the Babbi’s quick, and sometimes surprising repartee. “Everytime I sgo out with him,” Dr. Conklin con cluded, laughing, “my wife always asks when I return what the Kabbi has said this time.” The father of Jonah B. Wise was a rabbi before him and founded the reform movement in the Jewish church. He also founded the He brew Union college at Cincinnati from which Jonah Wise graduated as rabbi in 1903. “He belongs to about 57 differ ent kinds of organizations,” Dr. Conklin humorously exclaimed when [asked concerning the Babbi’s activ ities in Portland, where he has been since 1910 as the head of the Be formed Jewish church. Babbi Wise has a national reputation as a civic, charitable and social worker. He has done a great deal for the poor Jewish children in Portland. Babbi Wise is also known for his editorials and special articles con tributed to current religious jour nals. UNIVERSITY VESPER SERVICE CANCELLED The March Vesper service to be given by the University choir this coming Sunday was cancelled last night at a* meeting of the music committee.

Botany Students To Try to Define Lamb-tongue Areas The distribution in the state of Oregon of the flower popularly known as the lamb tongue, is the subject of an experiment being worked out by students in the botany department, under the direction of Professor A. B. Sweetser. It has been found that in vari ous parts of the state the flower is a different color. On the coast it is red, in southern Oregon it is purple, the Willamette val ley specimen is cream colored, and that of eastern Oregon is a bright yellow. The purple variety was dis covered on the Ashland normal school campus by Louis Hender son, research worker. He sent a specimen to the Harvard her barium, where it received the name of Frythronium hender soni. The students are endeavoring to find the lines of separation of the areas in whieh the different varieties grow, by sending mail ing cases for specimens to inter ested parties in the different sec tions of the state.

OREGON MAN INVENTS NEW EASEL-PALETTE An artist’s portable easel and palette combined has been devised by an instructor in the department of allied arts and architecture, V. O. Hafen. Although he made his first one several years ago while making a bicycle tour througl Prance to Italy, he has constructed different ones since then, improv ing and enlarging them. They resembled the regular la] boxes used by artists in sketching landscapes, except for the fact tha' they can be worn about the necl by means of a strap fastened to thi outside of the box in such a wa; as to balance it. This enables thi painter to stand up or walk abou while he works, without fear of th box slipping or jarring. There are two boxes, the smalles of which is nine by eleven inche; and the largest twelve by sixteen inches. They can be made lik walnut or mahogany, and covere with veneer. At one end they cor tain from two to six canvases whic slip into separate grooves, and a the other end is a compartment fo brushes and paints. Tn the bottom of the box betwee the canvas and the supply compari ment the paints can be mixed. Th cover which holds the canvases i their grooves is on hinges and raise up on end when opened. Whe . closed it is clamped into place b [ hooks, keeping the materials witl i in neatly intact. The strap ca ; then be slipped over one should* i and used as a handle for carryir the box like a camera.
