Sleepy Students Miss Morning Star TF THOSE students who arise "^with the sun, if there really are any in this university, would only rise a bit earlier they might watch Venus, the morning star, might mount into the sky from the southeast.

Mrs. Thatcher Thrills Crowd At Big Concert Piano Technique Wins Ap proval; Eugene Carr Sings By OUR MUSIC CRITIC Jane Thacher delighted a large audience at the school of music auditorium last night in a varied piano recital given under the aus pices of Mu Phi Epsilon. Playing with perfect technique, Mrs. Thacher presented Liszth’s “Funeraills” superbly. “Euneraills” is one of the most remarkable pieces of music ever written, and it is sel dom that it is played with the in telligence and artistry that Mr». Thacher showed last night. This particular composition displayed ad mirably the strength and brilliance the artist’s work with her left hand. Of her Chopin group the Etude and the Scherzo were exe cuted with brilliant finesse; rather too sharp and technical a brilliance, perhaps, for the romantic Chopin. The two impressionistic composi tions, Island Spell and Dew Fairy by modern English composers suf fered a little from the absence of delicate emotional quality in Mrs. Thacher’s interpretations, but the Russian Dance and the enthusiasti cally received encore, Ride of the Valkyries, were done with a verve and spirit unusual and charming. Eugene Carr, who shared the pro gram with Mrs. Thacher, presented an interesting group of songs, among which Cacinni’s Amarilli and the encore, Where’er Ve Walk, seemed best suited to the range of his voice. His second group was more pop ular with the audience than the first, though his entire program, pleasant and serene as it was, rose to no great heights and left his aud ience for the most part unmoved. Jean Harper as accompanist sup ported him adequately. Intelligence Tests Held as not Available for Employment Uses Intelligence testa are classified into two kinds, the employment test, and the mental test, said Dr. H. R. Taylor, of the psychology depart ment, when he was questioned as to the classification of intelligence tests, and the practical uses which may be made of them. Employment tests include those given for motormen, policemen, or for persons wishing to do some type of clerical work, while the mental or psychological tests are given to determine the ability to elementary work, high school work, and college work. Dr. Taylor said that the tests for grade school work are very re liable, for high school work, the tests are fairly reliable, but the col lege tests are less reliable. “There are two things necessary in preparing a test from which peo ple are chosen for certain positions. First, there is a job analysis, and a determination of what capacities are required in the position. A num ber of psychologists are making an analysis of such jobs as they have time to look into. Second, there is the difficulty of finding a suitable standard upon which to base the tests and make comparisons. It is hard to find a man who is ideally fit to hold his position, and then to base the examination on his capa cities.” Art Collection To Be Shown Here Sunday i — i Work of Well Known Women Painters, Sculp tors In Display Group Includes Floral Pictures?

A very special im portation will be shown at the spring opening to be held Sat urday at the Eugene market, under the auspices of the A. S. U. O., and the Women’s League. This style, it is said, was de signed especially for freshmen library dates.

Girls to Apply to Dean For Work at Resorts Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterly, dean of women, has sent out '.otters to the various summer resorts making inquiry as to the possibilities for employment of girls during the sum mei months. She asked that in their reply they state the type of work and living conditions under which the girls would be living. The Tyrrell Tavern at Bonneville, on the Columbia highway, has writ ten asking for girls at the end of the winter term. Girls who would like work at a resort during the summer should put in application at Mrs. Ester ly's office. They may make appli cation to a particular resort or to summer resort work in general. The Bean would like to find out how many girls would like this type of work as soon as possible. Awarding Of Fellowships Will Be Made Dean Rebec Plans Tour to Select Graduate Assistants 43 Positions are Open For the Coming Year Applications Must Be In Before April 1 JJR. George Rebec, dean of the graduate school, expects to start soon on a short tour of the colleges and universities in Oregon and neighboring states to seek desirable graduate assistants, teaching fel lows and research fellows for the university. He will also give in formation concerning the graduate school. There will be 31 graduate assist antships, seven teaching fellowships, and five research fellowships award ed at the University of Oregon for 1926-27. These are awarded for the purpose of promoting graduate study and research, and are open to graduates of any standard uni versity or college. Dr. Rebec ex pects to interview available candi dates at the schools which he will visit. . • College to Make Awards There will be 29 awards made from the college of literature, sci ence, and the arts, in the depart ments of botany and bacteriology, chemistry, economics, English, geo logy, German, history, Latin, math ematics, physics, psychology, rom ance languages and zoology. The 14 remaining assistantships will be given in the schools of architecture and allied arts, education, physical education, sociology, the extension division and the graduate school. A graduate assistant serves as a departmental assistant in various capacities, his time amounting to not more than 20 hours a week, rive hundred dollars is paid for his service the first year, and $600 on reappointment. Part-Time Service Rendered A teaching fellow renders part time teaching service to the univer sity. He is expected to bo at a more advanced stage in his gradu ate studies than is the graduate as sistant. The stipend varies from $750 to $1,150 for the nine months of the academic year. A research fellow assists in the research of some faculty member to whoso pro ject ho is assigned. A compensa tion of $500 is allowed for the academic year. Those appointed to such positions are charged only a reduced regis tration fee of $6.75 per term. Grad uate students are not held for the non-resident fee. Other positions calling for readers and minor as sistants with proportional remun eration are also open to graduate students. Applications should be made through the dean of the grad uate school before April 1. Depleted Loan Fund To Pay no More Fees — Students should not depend upon the loan fund to pay their spring fees, says Dean H. Walker, for it will not be sufficient to take care of the demands that will be made upon it. At present the fund is exhausted, and while there are some loans being refunded, this will not provide for all as a number of names are now on the waiting list. All students who have private funds should avail themselves of these sources of income bo that as sistance can be given to those who have no other financial possibili ties. in order to aid as many as pos sible, the Dean says it may be nec essary to cut down on the amounts of individual loans given out. Canoe Fete Drawings Will Be Held Today The whole eampus is expected to turn out for the lottery which will be held on the library steps this morning at 10:50. At this time it will be decided which houses will work together for the canoe fete. Because of this lottery the usual activities of the Order of the O have been postponed. Anna DeWitt Appoints Nominating Group JJOEOTHY MYERS, Imogeno Lewis, Eloise Buck, Ellen McClellan and Margaret Boyer were appointed yesterday as members of the nominating com mittee of the Women’s leaguo. The announcement was made by Anna DeWitt, president of the league. Tho final report of the group, which consists of tho names of the nominees for next year, r^ll be made at tho Wom en’s League mass meeting, to be held Thursday, April 1. April 6, Tuesday, has been set for the annual election date. The newly elected president, and Anna DeWitt, retiring presi dent, will attend the conference of Western Intercollegiate Wom en at the University of Califor nia, Southern Branch, Los An geles, California. The conference will take place April 14 to 17. Gridsters Show Speed and Grit In Spring Work Today is Final Practice Until Beginning of Next Term Shoulder pads and head gears wilj be packed away until next term after the last scrimmage of the win ter football training period this af ternoon. Football of a different kind—of a better grade, and in more intense form has been drilled into the group of recruits and vet erans since February first, by Cap tain McEwan and Harry Ellinger, i right hand man and line coach. Captain McEwan is undecided on how long spring football will last. The turnout has been scrimmaging for the past 10 workouts and now there is a marked semblance of a team tearing up Hayward field again. It looks almost as good as the team looked'at the end of last fall. Hayward gridiron now moves with rapid speed to the quiet voice of Captain McEwan and his snappy orders. There is no waste timo here, for every man gets his opportunity, and no one thinks of loafing. There is a set impartiality about the prac tice that each man recognizes and no one goes forward except on his own ability. Lettermen are step ping back just a little for “com ing” freshmen players and former stars are taking it on the chin on the mythical second team. Spring training under Coach Mc Ewan is not the farce it has been for it is as tense and hard fought as any fall traiu;ng on Hayward field ever was. It is surprising to see a team working with some degree of smoothness so early in the season. The passing and the line play of both so-called varsity and scrubs is far enough advanced for interesting scrimmage. Speed demons in the backfield makes it look better. Lynn | Jones and Otto Vitus among the j backs of last fall are probably sur-1 prised themselves at the increase' in power they have gotten with > the new system. Their power is not j potential now. The lineup on the men is unset tled. There is a constant shifting of linesmen but in all probability j only two or three linesmen from ; last year’s varsity will get the call, j The backfield is as much up in the air. The workout this afternoon marks the first powerful stride forward for Oregon football. A month’s work under Captain John J. Mc Ewan has made a remarkable j change. ! Three Books Added to Leach Art Collection Three books for the Camilla Leach Art Collection have been received by the University library. “Ani-1 mal in Ornament”, which contains 00 plates, is a green bound book attractively decorated wlith threo brown owls. “Russian Peasant Art,” is made up of illustrations of specimens collected by Count A. N. Bobrinsky. There are 60 plates in the book accompanied by explana tory notes on Russian art. The cov er is done in shades of red, yellow and purple. The other new book is a collection of 70 batik patterns, a copy of one forms a part of its binding. Council Action On Magazine Unfair, Klep Student Opinion Favorable To Literary Journal On Campus - Foreign Advertising was To Finance Publication Mary Jo Shelly Believes in Oregon Talent ■, consensus of opinion the students of the campus have shown that they want a literary magazine,” said Rolf Klep, chair man of the committee that investi gated the proposed magazine. “Prac tically every other school of the same size as Oregon on the coast has a literary magazine and I am convinced after a careful study of the magazine that Oregon is ready for such a magazine. “The argument of the executive council that the movement for such a publication had started from a small group of students was unfair because the idea originally emula ted from a large group, which met together last term and appointed my committee to study the proposition. Only 1000 Subscribers Needed “Tho council also stated that 1500 subscriptions would be necessary to put it across, but my committee had planned on making a go of the pub lication with as low a number as 1000 subscribers. And we would not be forced to add another bur den to the Eugene merchants for we had planned on tapping tho Portland field for our advertising because it is tho home of a large number of our students, and the foreign field offers possibilities for advertising for such a magazine.’* “The statement has also been mado that the best literary works of the campus are sold to trade publications and other magazines,’* said Mr. Klep, “but many students who write acceptable stuff never have it published because they do not care to market it, but they would contribute these articles to a campus magazine. Evenutally—-Why Not Now7 Mary Jo Shelly, president of Pot and Quill, women’s honorary liter ary society, strongly attacked the position taken by the executive council regarding the magazine and maintains they do not represent all of the students in their decision. “I think that Oregon will event ually have a magazine and I be lieve the school is large enough to support a creditable publication now. I do not know whether it is (Continued on page four) Business Students Seek Best Location For Store in Eugene Members of the merchandising class of the department of business administration undertook to discov er the best location for a business establishment in Eugene. To solve this problem, students from the class were posted before McMorran and Waslibourne’s, Gilmore’s, the Peter Pan, tho Woolen Mills Store, Ottos, Ax Billy’s, Stanley’s Gro cery and the Table Supply Co., to keep a tally of tho traffic passing before these places of business. According to the score kept be tween 10 o ’clock and noon Tuesday morning, and between 1:00 and 3:00 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, Eighth and Willamette was found to be the most desirable corner, with Ninth and Willamette scoring a close sec ond and Tenth and Willamette counting third. Of the total of 18,070 passersby who were count ed by the students in the four hours of observation, 3,507 passed ths corner of Eighth and Willamette; 3,090 passed Ninth and Willamette and 2,665 passed Tenth and Willam ette. The students taking part in this experiment considered the experi ence beneficial and really enjoyed it, said David E. Eaville, associate professor of business administration. The students working in the morn ing were William Ford, Harold Houser, Tom McGinnis, Paul Max well, Gordon Wilkinson, Everett Ogle, Ted Van Guilder, and Dick Lyman. In the afternoon the score was kept by Joseph Cereghino, Ru pert Gilbert, Jerome Cfunther, Charles Stock well, Donald W nit rous, Ray Williams, Edmund McLar en and Louise Inabnit.
