R. BULLIVANT LEADS SENIORS IN ERODES Martha A. Shull Second With 1.58 Average Despite the fact that the schol arship of women on this campus surpasses that of the men, the high est average in the cluss of 1925, excluding those who are not four year Oregon students, is held by Rupert Reid Bullivant, of Portland. Mr. Bullivant, who is majoring in the law department, has attained a 1.54 average for his entire eollcge career. This average does not in clude grades in physical education or military.

There are two kinds of criticism, constructive and destructive, in writing a criticism of such an am bitions program when presented by a student, one muBt take into con sideration the nervousness of the debutante, inmaturity, etc. The following is offered in a kindly and constructive spirit. Miss Akers opened her program with a classical and very difficult group. In tho “Care Selve” of Handel, The singer displayed very good breath control and the possi bilities of a beautiful sustained tone. Of this group the Caccini “Amarilli" was the best done. Her ■nervousness was too apparent to pass judgment. The aria, “I Sent My Soul Through the Invisible” from the “Persian Garden” of Liza Leh mann, gave Miss Akers better scope and opportunity for her abil ities. The group of Schumann "Lieder” wan exceptionally well sung for one of Miss Akers age and experience, especially well done was the “Wid mung” and “Erist’s.” The fourth, (French) group she invested with charm, especially effective were the “Lied” of Franck and “Si j’etais Jardinier” of (Ihamlnade. The singer possessed a good range, with some beautiful tones, it is when she reaches for her high tones that one is prone to criticise, with a little more attention to in tonation and enunciation Miss Ak ers promises to go far, as she pos sesses a majestic stage presenco in vested with two rare qualities, poise and charm. Bernice Yeo again proved; her self a very satisfactory accompan ist. Her two solo numbers, the “Nocturne” and “Impromptu” of Faure were played with accuracy and pianistic command.

Lillian Baker Says “Yes” to Don Woodward Limited Extra Edition of Daily Distributed at Delta Delta Delta, Theta Chi and Annual Emerald Banquet “Scoops” Contemporaries; Shock Strikes Toastmaster Allen Speechless By the “ Two Culprits I NIVHRSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, May 20.—(Special to the Emerald)—Simultaneously at the Delta Delta Delta and 'Dicta Chi houses, and the annual Emerald banquet, news of the engagement of Miss Lillian Ward Baker and Donald Lambert Woodward was announced here this evening. An extra edition of the Daily, limited to 200 copies, was distributed by news boys just before the dinners were served and carried a full account of the event with an exclusive photo of the betrothed. The affair came as a complete shock to students of the Uni versity and particularly to members of the staff, as it was not Known the principals were ac quainted with one another aside from the necessary contact* inci dent to working on the same publication. Close friendo, when questioned, declared they' and always under stood there was a strong aversion between the two. It was stated that Miss Baker had often been heard to assert she had no use for the Editor, and that she always made it a point to conduct any necessary business concerning the ! Kim aid through the Associate Edi tor io the Managing Editor. While the Editor often commented to his associates about the good writing done by his A. H. U. O. re porter, he always refrained from any enthusiastic raptures when her personal traits were mentioned, aside from admitting, if lmrd pres sed by some insistent advocate, that, "Yes, she is a nice girl, all right.” Many students and faculty, cha grined at not anticipating the re port, declared fhev had been un willing victims in the surprise. Edward Miller, newly-elected editor for next year, said, "The courtship was most subtle and secret. Had 1 but seen them together once, ns in walking between classes, f would not have been so overcome ns T am. I cannot but feel, however, that the method followed by my prede cessor in this matter has had a constructive effect upon the press, producing spot news and conse quently allowing the employment of u ‘progressive Henrst’ make-up.” Professor George Turnbull, apolo getic and embarrassed, mourned, “I have known and advised Bon intim ately, almost paternally, since he entered the school of journalism an infant freshman four years ago. I had not anticipated this, even though T was entertained at dinner with the couple several weeks ngb. I should have thought my influ-' cnee would have kept him from this —rather that he would not have allowed himself to stray from the path which T, myself, have so care fully followed.” Erie W. Allen, dean of the school, after blessing the happy twain, hurried into his den, picked up the roll of his editing class, his lips drew into a shrewd and Kewpish smile, and he ran his pencil happily through the name of "Baker, Lil lian.” “Two taken,” he chuckled, turn ing to the page of “W’n,” and peering over his glasses at the “scratched’’ name of “Wilson, Nor ma Jean' . *‘A few more and I won’t have too many girls for the available jobs after all.” “NTnw you will be able to write short stories. Don.” Prof. W. P. G. Thacher reminded the Editor. “Do you remember the time in my class when I said you would have to fall in love before you eonld hope to learn the art of ‘tellieg stories’? ’’ “Well, well,” ercl. ed Prof. Robert P. Hall, o'" *h University Press. “Here T g. p at five o’clock this morn o run the ‘Extras’ off for Don anil Lillian and i never suspeeted what it was all about. They said something about a ‘life contract,' but I thought they were offering some new business for the shop!” lial Kirk, Managing Editor, be came serious. button holed every passing member of his staff, and whispered impressively, “Our policy is to suppress rw\y condemning news about a woman’s name or about the Editor. Re sure to write this story accurately with all the facts, but don't mention Don’s nr Lillian’s names, nr say anvthing about them becoming engaged.” "It’s his funeral,” snapped Ben Maxwell, married six years and still sourly economizing because ho mistook a $10 bill for a five spot when he paid the preacher. “My hands are clean of the ink which has stained the pages of our stu dent daily in exposing this profound and silly affair. T have done my best to warn them. Tie can worry about his own bills. I worry enough about mine.” The couple. when questioned about their plans, were rather in definite. “Don is going baek to Columbia for a year,” said Miss Raker, “and T have one more term to take here before I will be graduated.” “As Lillian says, we are a little har.v about our exact plans after next year,” answered the Editor. “However, two years will be the very longest if we have to stake out a tent and take in washing. In that event 1 have premised to turn the wringer and help with the Ironing.” PLAYERS TO APPEAR LAST TIME IN COMMENCEMENT PRODUCITON “Beau Bruminelt” has been se lected ns the piny for the annual commencement presentation by the members of the dramatic depart ment, according to a report received Inst night from Instructors of that department.
