‘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

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.

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.

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.

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
