TRACK TRYOUT WILLJBE TODAY Entire Varsity Squad to Compete for Places in Fast All Events Contest SIXTEEN MEN ON TEAM Close Rivalry and Strict Regulations Indicate Hard Earned Decisions The tryouts for the Stanford * track meet on April 11 will be held this afternoon on Hayward field at 2:30 o’clock with the entire var sity squad competing in the trials. Rainy weather has slowed v. down' the track and the times for the events will be somewhat slower than they ordinarily would be. From the winners of the events this afternqon Bill Hayward will se lect his sixteen-man team for the southern trip. The sixteen man team is much larger than the twelve man team ordinarily taken on trips so that Bill will have some1' laxity in choosing his men. There is a possibility that he will take men in all events—that is to be decided by the showing of the as pirants in this afternoon’s workout. Men in Condition Hayward field, since the end of last term, has been the scene of some hard work. Conditioning has been gone through as fast as Bill could make it under the handicap of bad weather. The windup for the training for the Stanford meet will find most of the men in con dition. Another week and a couple of days in the warm weather and sunshine down south should put them in as near top notch condition as is possible. Rain or shine, the races are go ing to be hard and fast. A half dozen men in each event are striv ing for a place on the sixteen-man team. It will be their supreme ef forts for a place on the team. No distances will be cut and the regu lar times will be caught. The whole thing will be run off with regular track meet promptness after the start at 2:30. Now is the time for students to get a glimpse of the caliber of the Oregon team. Officials are Announced Officials for the meet this after noon will be: Del Oberteuffer, starter; Vic Risley, Harry Scott, Virgil Earl, Sam Cook and Bob Gardner, judges of the finish.

Coach Sorsby Issues Frosh Baseball Call Men Asked to Enroll Today; Practice Is Starter By Batterymen A general call for freshmen baseball players has been issued by Bill Sorsby, frosh coach, today. He will be at the gymnasium from 9:30 a. m. on, until all available men have signed. According to the coach, he wishes all men going out for^the diamond sport to sign up today and receive full equipment, as practice will start in earnest next Monday. For the past several days bat terymen have been limbering up and from now on pitchers and .Catchers will work out in the out doors gymnasium. Hours for prac tice will be arranged according to the players school schedule and this way enable the coach to have only several players out at the same time. Sorsby figures by this way it will enable him to give more personal attention to the battery men who are turning, out. .Flayers to Be Conditioned Preliminary work for the catch ers and boxmen will consist of a general conditioning of the play ers. The new coach holds this far more important part of the prelim inary training. Pitchers methods of delivery and control will be two big things that will be considered at the first. These initial work outs will be easy as no chance of ruining the arms will be taken. Four catchers and seven, pitch ers have so far signed up for po sitions on the battery of the green capper team. This array of catch ers and. pitchers includes a number of high school star and men who have made a name for themselves in semi-pro ball throughout ‘ the State. The first year men’s coach, however, expects that a number of aspirants for pitching and catch ing positions will sign up next week. Coach Has South-paws Out of the seven pitchers, two are south-paws and the new coach has these men to fool the opposing batters. With five right handed pitchers Sorsby will have quite a number of flingers from which to Select his pitching staff. The men reporting are: catchers, Merwyn Benke, Astoria; Bruce Fenton, Portland; John Caughell, Salem; •and Jess Dewey. The pitchers, Bay Edwards, left handed, Milton-Free water; William Bamber, left hand 'ed, Goldendale; William Baker, In dependence; Alfred Fries, Junction City; Edwin Bose, Goldendale; George Majovski, Portland; and Keith Fennell, Eugene. CONRAD’S VIEW NEEDED TODAY, SAYS SHELDON “Joseph Conrad stands for a cer tain attitude which "we need to day,” Dr. H. D. Sheldon, dean of the school of education, said in his assembly address Thursday in the Woman’s building. The topic of his address was “Joseph Conrad: an Appreciation.” “The essential thing in the world today,” he explained, “is the pre dominance of machinery, not only in the industrial world but in the intellectual field as well. It is a time of syndicated articles—too im personal, too colorless, too average. We need the great possibilities of human nature brought to our at tention.” Dean Sheldon attributed the fact of Conrad’s Polish birth as a formative factor in the author’s career. Conrad, he said, expressed the many abilities and distinct character common among his peo ple. Conrad’s childhood in a period of national defeat and sorrow was a second factor in shaping his ca reer, according to the speaker. Dur ing his four or five years in France he was profoundly influenced in his literary style by the French,' especially Flaubert and writers of his school. This influence is ex pressed,'the speaker said, in the subdued irony and clarity of phrase of Conrad’s style. Temperamen tally, the speaker said, Conrad was Latin and Slavic rather than Xor (Continued on page four) WORLD PM WILL BE STAGED Two Performances Listed For First Affair Given By Foreign Personnel WORLD FRATERNITY AIM Native Costumes and Musio Characterize Festival of Nations Set for Tonight Native costumes, habits and music of all the countries from Oregon’s foreign students have come will appear at the Cosmopoli tan club pageant, to be presented this afternoon and evening at Guild hall.

In order that the townspeople may enjoy the concert, several Eu gene churches have dispensed with their evening services. The concert last year proved one of the most outstanding musical events of the year and drew one of the largest audiences ever assem bled in Eugene. Urgent Need For Intelligence Tests Found on Campus Why intelligence tests? Are high school students, upon enter ing the University, of equal ca pacities? Is Alexander Meikle john not right, in his contentions? It happened this way, let the blame fall where it will. A stu dent enrolled at the beginning %of the winter term in a history course to be administered, so the registration manual asserted, in a room in the Oregon building, at a certain time each day. Between the time when the bulletin was printed and the time when the term commenced the meeting place of the class was changed, unknown to the student, to.Guild theatre, and a class in political science substituted at the same hour in the Oregon building. When the scandal sheet came out recently the said student was indeed surprised to find that even though he had attended lectures religiously, he had an F in the course in which he was practi cally certain of a II grade. Per haps the intelligence tests should include the professors too, who knows?

A. ser vice department are on a temporary wane, reports Mrs. Charlotte Don nelly, service secretary of the cam pus hut. The revival of the labor market during the latter part of last term has been offset by a re cent slump caused by rainy weath er. The demands for housing ser vices have been uncommonly few in number so far this term. Indi cations are that there is little mov ing and changing of quarters.' Only a very few new students have sought aid in finding quarters. DOUGHNUT BULL CRISIS IT HIND Fate of Inter-Fraternity Sport Will Be Decided By Delegates Monday LACK OF FIELDS FELT Faculty Objection Proves Difficulty in Arranging Non Conflict Schedule o---<t> A meeting of the doughnut baseball representatives of the following organizations will be held in the men’s gymnasium, Monday, April 6 at 5 p. m. At tendance will be compulsory. Kappa Delta Phi Phi Delta Theta Friendly Hall Delta Tau Delta Sigma Pi Tau Phi Kappa Psi % Sigma Alpha Epsilon Oregon Club Bachelordon Sigma Hu Psi Kappa Beta Theta Pi Phi Gamma Delta Kappa Sigma Theta Chi The meeting of the doughnut rep resentatives called for Monday to decide whether baseball will be played this year or not. At pres ent Virgil Earl, director and man ager, faces the problem of organiz ing a schedule that will suit the teams and meet with the favor of the faculty. The main obstacle in She way of the games is the desire of the fac ulty that no games shall be played either before the eight o’clock classes or after six in the evening. This plays havoc with the possi bility of a diamond as the ceme tary ridge field is being used by the varsity at present. Freshman practice will start Monday and as approximately 80 or more men are expected to turn out playing space will be entirely utilized. The var sity will move to the new diamond in the next week or so, thereby taking up the two playing fields. Lack of Fields Felt Due to the lack of proper playing fields on the campus doughnut baseball is facing the possibility of being discarded for this year. The varsity and frosh practice per iods come at the only possible time for the scheduling of games there by causing conflicts. There are two possibilities of overcoming this handicap, however, and the meeting will decide defin (Continued on page four) MUSIC SCHOOL FACULTY GIVES RADIO CONCERT The faculty of the school of mu sic gave a radio concert Tuesday evening of vacation week over KGW from Portland under the aus pices of the extension division. The songs were as clear as though the singer were in the same room, ac cording to a letter received by Madame Rose McGrew from Palo Alto. Rex Underwood, accompanied by his wife, gave a violin selection. Jane Thatcher gave several piano solos. Madame Rose McGrew, ae- < companied by Louis Artau, sang a number of songs. The people of ‘ Palo Alto considered the concert ] a great treat. They report that i the piano and violin selections car ried very well. , Members of Mu Phi Epsilon also c gave a concert from KGW last i Thursday. Laura Teschner, presi- i dent of the active local chapter of i Mu Phi, cellist; Alberta Potter, < violinist, and Beulah Clark on the I flute gave the greater part of the ! program. Genevieve Clancy Dun core, of the class of ’22, and also i a member of Mu Phi, sang several j solos. Elizabeth Nelson was also a vocal soloist. The accompanists ' were Jean Harper and Helen i Caples. , Picnic Called Off; Leap Week to End With Skating Party Gordon Wilson, Jens Terjesen, i and Don Peak, of the committee in charge of the Coburg picnic, the final event of the senior leap week, got their heads to gether yesterday and took a look at the sky while the rain shower ed down; Wilson, the chairman, then announced that the outdoor affair set for the Coburg bridge this afternoon would give way to the alternative plan of a skating party downtown. The party will be at the Winter Gar den, and it will start at 1:00. Margaret McCabe will be in charge of the food, of which it is said there will be plenty at the hall. Since the floor cannot be sof tened everyone is advised to bring pillows and to wear old clothes. After the skating, if anyone still feels able to dance, a dance will wind up the affair. All senior women are advised by the committee to avail them selves of their last chance at the leap-week privileges. As an added incentive the par ty is to be a no-date affair. CANOE FINALS WILL BE FEATURE OF FIELD DAY Swimming Test Required Of All Candidates Canoeing will begin immediately, according to an announcement made by the women’s section of ■ the physical education department, and it is imperative that all girls who expect to go out for this sport sign up before May 10 as none will be eligible after that date. A special chart for this purpose has been placed on the bulletin board in the middle entrance of the Woman’s building. Class teams will be chosen by May 4. Six practices are required before any candidate is eligible for a class team. Maude Schroeder and Grace Sullivan are coaches for this term. Miss Barbara Page will act as supervisor. “The girls should make a point of getting in as many practices as possible, instead of be ing satisfied with the minimum be cause canoeing is a sport that re quires a great deal of practice,” said Grace Sullivan. In addition ffl the six required practices, all candidates for places an teams must pass a twenty-yard swimming test which involves en tering the tank from the side, head first. Tests may be passed under the supervision of either Miss Page rsr Grace Sullivan. Locker keyB will be issued only after these tests ire passed. Each class will have a first and second team.

ARTISTS TO RIO IN DEDICATION Beautiful New Auditorium Formally Opens Tonight With Diversified Program ENTRANCE BY TICKET Seat Reservations May Be Made Free At Box Office Or the School of Music Formal dedication of the newly completed school of music auditor ium will take place tonight at 8:30. Mrs. George Gerlinger will deliver the dedication address, and John Stark Evans, assistant dean of the school, will give the dedication re cital on the new Reuter pipe or gan, which was a gift to the Uni versity by an anonymous donor.. Owing to the limited seating ca pacity, admittance tonight is by ticket only. There is no admission charge, but those desiring seats should call as early as possible to day at the school of music and have their seats reserved. This is done, Dean John Landsbury of the school of music says, to insure comfort able seating for everybody. Those unable to go for their tickets can get them at the box office in the evening. Following are the pipe organ numbers to be played by John Stark Evans: "Andante” Fifth Symphony, Beethoven; “Largo” new World Symphony, Dvorak; Meditation, Thais, Massenet; “Lon dondery Air,” Old Irish; “Alleg ro,” Douglas; "Symphonic Poem” Les Preludes, Liszt. The second, third and fourth numbers are re quested. “Open House” Tomorrow • An ^informal musical program and “open house” will begin tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock. “We want the public to browse around the building and make this affair an informal “open house” said Dean Landsbury, yesterday. "Informality is to be the keynote and we want people to come and go ns they like.” The concert will be furnished entirely by the school of music faculty. There will be three short programs starting at 2:30 p. m., 3:30 and 4:30 respectively with short intermissions between the programs. The University orchestra and men’s and women's glee clubs will be featured in the first concert. "Two Slavonic Dances” by Dvorak will be rendered by the orchestra. The combined glee clubs will sing the “Sanctus” and “Gloria” from the St. Cecilia Mass. One of the outstanding numbers on this pro gram will be “The Land of Hope and Glory” sung by the glee clubs, accompanied by the orchestra. John Stark Evans will conclude the pro gram with an organ solo. The second program is composed of numbers by John Siefert, Jane Thacher and Lora Teshner. Mr. Siefert will sing “My Native Land” by Kaun and “Murmuring ( Continued on page three) STUDENTS LEARN SWIMMING DUE TO SCHOOL REQUIREMENT “Thou Bhalt Be Able to Swim I [n Order to Graduate,” seems to be he golden maxim which the school >t physical education is enforcing ipon all students of the University, rhe present ruling requires every >erson graduating to be able to iwim. At any rate the school of physi cal education is making a success vith this present ruling. On Oe ober 1, 1923, out of the present ophomore class, 140 men were lassed as non-swimmers. That is, hey were unable to swim two engths of the tank on their stom ich and one half on their back, 'ree style. Two hundred and nine nen out of the class took physical ducation class work. At the end of the winter term, torch 20, 1925, out of the 313 ophomores taking the physical edu ation work with the physical abil ity men included there are only 44 who can still be classed as non swimmers Sixty-seven per-cent of the men couldn’t swim at the be ginning of their freshman year, Oc tober 1, 1923; not including the ap proximate 100 who were physical ability men. Out of the 313 men at the end of the just completed winter term .only 14 per-cent were unable to swim and received in completes in their physical educa tion. These incompletes run for & duration of two years and may be made up any time during that per iod. It can be readily seen that the school of physical education has been very successful in teaching the greater portion of non-swim mers to swim. Every year a large number of non-swimmers enter the University but are taught to swim during their four year course.
