More Men Wanted “Golf is now officially recog nized as a leading sport in Coast athletic circles, and the i coming meet should stimulate interest in the game here,” says Bronaugh. “We want at least 30 men out for golf, and we will give individual attention to every man turning out.

The eups will become permanent to the organiza tion which ’wins them three years in succession. Orchestra to Play at i ete The feature committee for the fete is shaping plans for the special attraction which will be presented during the fete. An orchestra, it was announced ,will furnish music during the entire affair. L. D. Pigrce of the Table Supply company and Mrs. Edna Prescott Davis, director of Friendly hall, are assisting in determining prices and the selection of a menu for the campus luncheon. A total of 32 junior women have been appointed to serve food!. Plans ’ are being made to serve the food as quickly and as conveneintly as possible,' so that there will be no confuion. Plans for Prom Secret The plans for the Junior Prom have been worked out in detail; but the exact nature of the affair will not be revealed until later. The whole dance, however, will interpret a certain historic age in history, ac cording to the head of the decora tions committee. The stage of the Armory, where the prom will be held, will be the focal center; and (Continued on page four) ‘KAP’ KUHN RELATES INTERESTING EXPERIENCES ON EUROPEAN TRIP “The most beautiful women in the world are those of Southern France,” said Eandolph “Kap” Kuhn, graduate journalism student tactlessly. But Kap can afford to be tactless. He toured Europe last summer. I ignored the statement, and pro ceeded to quiz him about his trav els. o » * o' “There are two types of them.” he continued, “the golden-haired, blue-eyed ones and the brunettes with olive-tinted skin.” “But this is for the Emerald, Kap,” I implored. “Could you tell me about how long you stayed and where you went and what you did?” “We set out from Paris,” he said, coming back to earth, “and travelled south. In Dourdon, about 40 miles from Paris, we stayed for • a week. Our hotel was just across the street from a castle that dated back to 1132, and all about us were houses and buildings that were modern several hundred years ago. “We stopped at Avignon, where the Pope was carried from Rome by the French in 1306, and the Palace of the Popes is a won derful structure. At Nime, for merly the Roman outpost command (ing the Rhone valley, we visited an old Roman temple, the Mason Caree. It was used after the Rom ans left as a town-hall, later a Christian church, then a ware-house, a stable and is now a museum. We also viewed the Roman gardens, arena and aqueduct which are still intact. “Carcassonne, the only complete* ly walled city in the world today, is also perfectly preserved in all details. The draw-bridge is still (Continued on page four) Payment of Term Fees Starts Today; Ten Days Allowed Fill the fountain pen, pull out the check book, and get into line. You are supposed to have already written home for funds, and are expected to fall in line and pay your term fees. Today starts the ten-day per iod during which students may part with their savings, willing ly or unwillingly. Again the w'arning is sounded that those who delay until the last moment are liable to the fine of three dol lars for paying one day after the period ends, and 25 cents for each day of delay thereafter. Windows of the business office will close at noon on April 25. Students are warned against issuing checks not sufficiently covered by funds. Few checks were returned marked N. S. F. last term, and employees in the business office are hoping that the good record will be main tained. Drastic action is prom ised against those who fail to heed this warning. ASSEMBLY SPEAKER WELL-KNOWN WRITER Dr. Aurelia Henry Reinhardt, who is to be assembly speaker here on Thursday, has considerable lit erary work to her credit, consist ing largely of translations. These include a translation and notes of “The Monarchia” by Dante Alig hieri, some translations in “Select Translations from Old English Po etry,” and Ben Jonson’s “Epi eoene, or the Silent Woman,” with a glossary. She has also con tributed to magazines and journals. Besides being a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Dr. Reinhart has membership in an imposing array of honor societies and clubs. She is president of the American As sociation of University Women, and is best known as the president of Mills, a girls’ college at Oakland. Dr. Reinhardt gave the principal address at the dedication of the Woman’s building here in 1921, speaking on the relation of physi [ cal education and the health pro : gram to college work. An Emer i aid of that date gives an account i of the favorable impression Dr, Reinhardt made on the campus at j that time, when she was widely en I tertained. Y. W. C. A.

WOMEN DELEGA TES ARRIVE ON CAMPUS JOINT CONCERT TO BT THURSDAY Two Glee Clubs Co-operate For Coining Program; Students Admitted Free CANTATA WILL BE GIVEN ‘Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast’ By S. Coleridge-Taylor To Feature Presentation Among the distinct features of the Women’s League convention is the home concert of the men’s and women’s glee clubs tomorrow night in the Woman’s building, starting at ’8 p. m. John Stark Evans, as sistant dean of the school of music, is the director of the glee clubs. Students will be admitted to con cert by recognition as very few student body tickets will be issued by that time. The general admis sion price for townspeople is one dollar. Tickets may bo procured from Laraway’s Music store or the Co-op. The home concerts of the men’s and women’s glee clubs have always been among the major attractions of the school year and the com bining of the clubs makes the home concert an even greater event of interest this year. The concert is composed wholly of classical music which gives it an air of distinc tiveness. However, it is not so classical that only those with a mu sical sense can enjoy it, but is clas sical to the extent that all of the numbers are of a high class na ture. “Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast,” a eantata by S. Ooleridge-Taylor, is one of the delightful things in music and will be sung tomorrow night by the combined clubs. Its catchy melody and beautiful choruses will not allow the attention of the aud ience to wane for a minute. A can tata of this nature has never beforo been presented by a University glee club and the unusualness of the number is predicted to bring more than a storm of applause. Many noted composers will be represented in the numbers ren dered by each club separately. All of the selections are said to be beautiful and melodious and many of them aim at difficult part sing ing. Among the soloists to be heard1 are Ruth Akers, soprano; Roy Bry son, Richard Adam and Frank .Tue, tenors. These singers have not only achieved musical fame on the cam pus, but are also well-known for their prominence in other activit ies. • BIlUEfFlSTtN TO BE HELD TOMORROW A banquet for all former mem bers of Hi-Y organizations and others interested in Y. M. C. A. and religious work, will bo held at the Tampa Shoppe, Thursday even ing, April Id. The banquet will start promptly at 6 o’clock and will end in time for those attending to hear the glee club concert the same evening. Invitations have been sent to all Hi-Y men that the committee in charge has been able to locate, and, all others are asked to attend even if they have not received invita tions. Men in living organizatoins will be approached through house members and those outside are | asked to phone the Y hut. Reser vations must be made by Wednes day noon. Musical numbers and speeches by Portland Y. M. C. A. workers will be features of the program. In I stallation of student association of ; fieers and cabinet for next year ! will also take place during the | evening. Increase in Wages Is Cause of Raise in Postal Ratings Changes in postal rates on all classes of mail go into effect today. The wages of all postal employees have been raised, so the government has found it nec essary to increase rates to cover the advance. First class mail is unaffected, except private post cards, which are now two cents instead of one cent. Letters and government post cards remain the same. The new rates on second class matter affect only publishers, except that any person mailing a paper is obliged to pay two cents for each two ounces or fraction thereof. This rate is four times ns liigh as the old, which was one cent for four ounces. Third class mail includes every thing not included in the first two classes, under eight ounces. The new price is one and one half cent for each two ounces, an advance of one-half cent. New one and one-half cent stamps have been issued by the govern ment, a supply of which the Uni versity depot received yesterday. Parcel post, or fourth class mat ter, embraces all things entitled to go through the mails, weighing more than eight ouncos. Ratos are the same as before, with an additional service charge of two cents on each package mailed. PRESIDIUM RETURNS TO CMS President P. L. Campbell, who has spent the last three and a half months in Coronado, California, has returned to Eugene, and is now at his residence on the campus under the care of a physician and nurse. According to Dr. William Kuyken dall, ho stood the trip quite well. Late last December, President Campbell loft for California to .avoid the cold winter here. The agreeable spring weather has made Jiis return possiblo, and he was anxious to get back to the campus 'and his University friends. “President Campbell is in bet ter condition than whon ho left for Southern California last win ter,” Dr. Kuykendall said today. “However, the associated physic ians have joined with me in ad vising him not to attempt to re sume the work of his office this year.” Although he has been in touch with institutional matters, Presi dent Campbell was unable to ac tively discharge the duties of the presidency for more than a year, and when ho loft for California his illness was alarming, his physic ians insisting upon a complete rest. His last public appearance was a year ago, when he spoke at a stu dent assembly inaugurating the Stu dent Union campaign.

C. 1 (Continued on page four) ROBBERY SUSPECTS CONVICTED ON MOOT ASSAULT CHARGE Last night, in the .moot court presided over by former district attorney Clyde Johnston, the prose cution, or in other words the states attorney, failed to secure convic tion of Thomas Short on the charge of robbery. Short was convicted however of assault with a danger ous weapon but not until after the jury had deliberately—warmly— for fifteen or twenty minutes. The prosecuting attorney, Jean F. DuPaul, attempted to build up )iis case on the fact that Short had taken $d.7o from one Armand PeMerrit (which alias was as sumed for the trial by Ed Keech). Short took the money after a pok er game which occured in the Col lege Side Inn last October. The states case was not complete how ever, because it could not prove that this money belonged to some one else. Marion Dickey*, the counsel for the defense brought the fact that the money which Short took from the table that night was an amount smaller than that which he had lost and therefor because ,of the law condemning gambling and rendering gambling debts un collectable and void, his action in taking tho money was justifiable on tho grounds that he was merely ,taking what belonged to him. The defending attorney also opened up another line of defense which he could have used had this one failed. It was stated by one of his witnesses that Short was in toxicated at the time of the affair and therefore not capable of any intent to rob which the law insists must be present before any act of acquiring becomes criminal. And because he was not capable of hav ing the intent to rob which the law (Continued on j/age three)
