GLEE CLUBS COMBINE IN COMING CONCERT Thursday evening, April 16, in the Woman’s building, will be heard the home concert of the men’s and women’s glee clubs, un der the direction of John Stark Evans, which will mark the fourth number of the series of concerts sponsored by the University music committee. This concert is anti cipated with more than the usual interest this year due to the com bining of the two clubs, which is an entirely new and distinct fea ture. “Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast” by Coleridge-Taylor, which is a musi cal setting of Longfellow’s famous poem, is one of the most behutiful and novel numbers on the program. It has never been heard in Eugene, (Continued on page four) GAMMA PHI BETA WINS FROLIC CUP; DELTA GAMMA GIVEN NEXT PLACE The silver loving cup offered by Women’s League for the best April Frolic stunt was awarded to Gamma Phi Beta last Saturday night.

The committee in charge of April Frolic voted to give the judges hon orable mention for their costumes. Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterly and Mrs. Gebrge Eebec were dashing gallants in full dress suits while Miss Gertrude Talbot, Miss Victoria Avakian and Mrs. Eric W. Allen were the beautiful belles of the ball. The Gamma Phi Beta stunt was a representation of “Alice in Won derland.” All the famous characters were represented, Alice, the King and Queen of Hearts, the Duchess, the Mock Turtle, and the White Rabbit. The Mad Hatter chorus singing the “Mad Hatter Blues” was well received. “Memory Land,” the stunt pre sented by Delta Gamma, told the story of an Oregon-student looking through the pages of her memory book. There were pages for Home i coming, the Senior Ball, the pledg i ing to hpnoraries, Frosh Glee, and Spring Days. Through the pages of the book the exams, represented by little red devils, burst out and frightened away Spring Days. Then these imps brought out the Scandal Sheet which rejoiced over the flight of Spring Days.

Fresh men and those who have not pledg ed will be interviewed personally, made acquainted with the import ance of the Student Union under taking and urged to give financial assistance and moral backing to make the drive as unfaltering a success as it was last year.

She speaks remarkably well, and we are especially fortunate to get her.” She was especially interested, Dean Esterly said, in receiving the invitation to attend the convention directly from the girls themselves.

He was summoned by telegraph, and leave was granted by a com mittee of the board of regents this morning. James L. Fieser, vice-president of the Red Cross in charge of domes tic operations, wired Dean Kil patrick requesting him to report at St. Louis. The/ Oregon man is an experienced relief worker and has been on the staff of the Red Cross for emergncy call since he served during the war as manager of the Northwestern division of the or ganization. Helped in Afltoria Relief Dean Kilpatrick was ordered to Astoria when the city was swept by fire three years ago, and he served as director of relief for the Red Cross, recruiting and organiz ing his staff, drafting at that time a number of the faculty of the school of social work in Portland.

THOMAS SHORT AGAIN ON TRIAL; STUDENT ACCUSED OF ROBBERY Regardless of how many times Thomas Short is acquitted of crime his ever pursueing fates seem to be always on hand with a new charge for him. First it was mur der; now it is robbery—and rob bery dug up from the dim and dis tant past of last October. “Thomas William Short is ac cused by the Grand Jury of the County of Lane, by this indieti ment, of the charge of robbery, be ing armed with a dangerous wea pon. . .” The alleged crime was committed in this fashion: About j 9:00 o’clock on the evening of Oc tober 9, 1924, said Thomas Short! armed with two revolvers, a Colt ! automatic and a six-shooter, and j armed also with the intent to kill if resisted, entered the College [ Side Inn. After sitting in for a ! couple of hands in a poker game | that was in progress he suddenly pulled out his guns and ordered i the dealer to put up his hands and ' shove his stack across. Then he ; backed out of the place, covering j all those present with his trusty weapons, and made his escape. The I State charges that his booty was 16.73 taken from one Armand De | Merrit—this being the alias under which Ed Keech does his gambling. This last witness will lend a dram atic touch to the trial. The defense will most likely rest tlioir case on the contention that the accused became so drunk on a half a pint of Virginia Dare that in the brief interval between 8:30. when he imbibed it, and the time of the robbery he was suffering from delerium tremens, and there fore should not be held responsible for the crime. Marion Dickey—the defending attorney—left Friday morning for Portland where it is thought he consulted with some of the state’s leading criminal lawyers and medi cal experts. He assures those inter ested in the outcome of the trial that he will get the defendant off. The defendant seems to be taking the whole thing stoically but it has come to the ear of the reporter that he has had to sell the old homestead to satisfy the demands of his attorney. The states attorney in this case will bo Jean F. DuPaul, and he will put the accused on trial at seven o’clock this evening in the county court house.
