Grenfell following the morn ing assembly in which he was feat ured. The group was as varied as Dr. Grenfell’s life has been. There was a missionary, doctors from the Eu gene hospital, and members of the faculty as proof of his different in terests. Among the group was Dr. A. H. Norton of the Eugene hospital who met Dr. Grenfell in Korea. Mrs. Warner Expected To Arrive From Orient Mrs. Murray Warner, who gave the Murray Warner art collection to the University, is thought to have arrived in San Francisco on the tenth, yesterday, according to Sam B. Warner, professor of law. Mrs. Warner has been in China trying to get material for the museum. Professor Warner is not sure whether she will come here or go east. Mrs. Donnelly Given Tasks of Many Kinds < < "VIC THERE does Bill Jones ▼ » live this term?” “I want to find the address of Ching Chow, who is attending the University.” John Doe doesn’t live at Friendly hall any more, and I can’t find his new address.” Answering questions caused by the negligence of students in transferring their addresses at the registrar’s office is one of the unasked for tasks of Mrs. Donnelly, employment secretary of the Y. Ml C.' A. “Whenever anyone doesn’t know an address, they ask me,” she said. “A student when mov ing should always change his registered address.” Her office, which also handles student housing, is the dumping ground for all telegrams, long distance phone calls, and mail whose proper destination is not known. Foreign mail nearly all comes to Mrs. Donnelly. “Can you tell me the cost of renting the Armory?” asked a voice one day. This is typical of the sort of information “about housing” that is requested. O. A. C. Orchestra Will Give Bach Concert Sunday Program to Change Hour Of Vesper Services; Little to Play A Bach concert to be presented by the O. A. C. orchestra under the direction of Marguerite MacManus will be held in the music auditorium, Sunday at 4:00 p. m. instead of at the usual Vesper hour. This concert | of selections from the compositions of one of the greatest of all musie composers recently created a quan tity of complimentary criticisms when it was given at Corvallis. The two violin soloists, Lucelia Bates and Howard Halbert, who are only 13 and 14 years of age respectively, will play the double concerto in D major, accompanied by the orchestra in all three move ! ments. Miss Miriam Little, a violincello teacher in Oregon’s music school, has been specially engaged to play the first solo cello part in the con ; certo in G major. The last num j ber on the program, a suite in D j major, includes all the strings of i the orchestra, two oboes, three trum pets and the tympani. In Dean Landsbury’s opinion, the opportunity presented to the stu dents to hear this work of the or j chestra is one well worth taking | advantage of. j The afternoon’s program is as follows: Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, G major for three violins, three violas, three violineellos, and double bass. 1. Allegro. 2. Adagio. Double concerto in D major for 1 two solo violins and orchestra. 1. Vivace. 2. Largo, ma non tanto. 3. Allegro. j Suite in D major for strings, two I oboes, three trumpets, and tympani. I 1. Overture. (Grave.) ] 2. Air (Dante). ' 3. Gavottes, 1 and 2. (Allegro). | 4. Bouree. (Allegro scherzando). j' 5. Gigue. (Allegro con brio.) — Paul Sletton Elected Member Order of “O” Paul Sletton, a senior, manager of Oregon sports during his four years and now, according to the Oregon system, a manager of the whole managing system, a sort of manager of managers, has become a member of the Order of the “O” with all privileges to which that entitles him. The election of the senior manager to the Order of the “O” is a new policy which the order has just adopted and which it will follow as a permanent policy in an endeavor to bring the man aging system and the order in closer contact. More initiations to the Order of the “O” will be held during the O. A. C. and Washington games, it i was announced. Oregon Knights announce the election of: Ronald Hubbs, Otto Frohnmayer, Phil Sender, Wil liam Eddy, Robert Sargeant, Stuart MacDonald, Dick Jones, Brnce Baker, Alex Scott, Gif ford Seitz, Fred Meeds. . - First Varsity Debate to Be In Portland Chamber of Commerce Scheduled to Hear Match March 2 Prohibition Measure Subject of Discussion Hempstead, Clark Chosen As Representatives THE University of Oregon var sity debate team will meet the University of Montana before the Portland Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon meeting Wednesday noon, March 2, in the first debate of the year. The question for debate is: re solved, that the eighteenth amend ment should be so modified as to permit the manufacture and sale of light wines and beers. Dudley Clark and' Jack Hempstead wiifll | represent Oregon, and Sidney Mc Carthy and James Beck, the Mon tana debaters. . Coaches Like Location Both the Oregon and Montana coaches are pleased that the debate will be presented before the Port land Chamber of Commerce. “Due to the fact that we have more de bates at home than we really should have I wrote to the Portland Cham ber of Commerce asking them if they would be willing to schedule one of our debates up there,” said J. K. Horner, Oregon debate coach. “I received a letter from E. N. Weinbaum, manager of the Cham ber, in which he said that he would be pleased to arrange a luncheon meeting of the Chamber on Wednes day noon, March 2, in order to hear the debate between Montana and Oregon.” The Montana debate coach wrote: “Personally I am pleased that you have arranged to present the debate before the Portland Chamber of Commerce. It should be a stimula tion for the debaters as well as for the audience.” Montana is sending a team to the Pacific coast on a tour, during which it will debate Willamette university and the Washington universities in addition to the debate with Oregon. Oregon Plan to be Used The Oregon plan of cross-ques tioning will be used in this debate, which will be the first time the Montana team has ever used the system. It will be an audience de cision debate. “I personally believe that the mebibers of the Chamber of Commerce will be more interested (Continued on page four) Dr. A. R. Moore Will Talk at Sigma Xi Meet In Corvallis Tonight “The Physiology of Animal Lum inescence” will be the subject of the paper given by Dr. A. R. Moore, head of,the department of zoology, before the joint meeting tonight in Corvallis of Sigma Xi, national scientific honorary and the O. A. C. Sigma Xi club together with mem bers of the Oregon section of the American Chemical society. The subject matter of the paper deals with the inhibition of luminescence by light of a marine form called the “ctenophore.” Dr. Moore will show by a series of charts that the time of exposure, multiplied by the in tensity of light which makes the luminescence disappear is constant, thus showing that there is a live animal which obeys a scientific law. The luminescence disappears much quicker in a very bright light than in a dimmer light. This is the first joint meeting this school year with the O. A. C. club, it being customary to have at least one such meeting every year with that group which, according to Dr. W. P. Boynton, head of the department of physics, is a very strong group of scientific men in cluding the staff of scientific teach ers and research workers of the agricultural experiment station. Dinner will be served before the meeting at 6 o’clock in the Hotel Benton. About fifteen are- expected to make the trip to the neighboring city. The next meeting of Sigma Xi chapter will be here March 11, | when Roger J. Williams, associate j professor of chemistry, will read a paper on ’Bios and Its Relation to i Vitamins. From Corvallis, Moore will con I tinue on to Newport to gather ma rine forms for class work. He may ; possibly be accompanied by Dr. i Boynton. Vigilance Committee Meets at Five p. m. HEAP big medicine! When the 20 young medi cine men, known better among the Webfoot tribe as the vigi lance committee of the Oregon Knights, met in their tepee at five p. m. this afternoon, much powerful magic will be brought into action. It is known among the chiefs that the big medi cine is being made for the young bucks of freshmen, but as yet, no member of the tribe actually knows in what directions the great East wind will blow it. All of the following medi cine men are requested to be in room 1 of the Administration building at the appointed time: Clinton Mitchell, Ronald Ilubbs, Jack Jones, Bob Button, Verne Bale, Ro Herndon, Lawrence Ogle, Ted Gurney, Bijll IIjnd, Otto Frolinmayer, Phil Sender, William Eddy, Burr Abner, Rob ert Sargeant, Stuart MacDonald, Dick Jones, Bruce Baker, Alex Scott, Gifford Seitz, and Fred Meeds.

Dr. Grenfell Depicts Work In Labrador Assembly Speaker Starts Schools, Hospitals, Orphanages Begins Career Among Fishermen in 1892 Subscriptions Requested To Promote Cause LABRADOR means “laborer’s land,” said Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, world famous medical missionary, who yesterday at the University of Oregon weekly stu dent assembly, told of his exper ience on the bleak and barren coasts of Labrador and North New foundland, where for thirty years he has worked among the deep sea fishermen. His lecture topic was “Midst Ice and Snow in Labrador.” “There is no permanent joy in a loafer’s land,” he said. “I’ve been the only magistrate on the shores of Labrador with a people who live close to starvation. In all those years there has never been a single divorce. The family is tied together bv material need. The family is a cooperative common unit.” Human Life Is Valuable After his years of activity on the northern coasts, during which time he has been instrumental in build ing five hospitals, several relief sta tions, an orphanaige and several schools. Dr. Grenfell has reached the conclusion that human life is worth while, that it is important, as long as the individual takes ad vantages of all opportunity for pro gressive activity. Dr. Grenfell said he crossed the Rubicon of his life when, after studying for several years under the leading surgeons of London and ready to commence his practice, he found it necessary to choose between two paths. Whether to practice medicine in London and “prop up the declining ages of useless dow agers,” or go to serve among the ranks of the deep-sea fisherman on the northern coasts. Choosing the latter Dr. Grenfell sailed in 1892 in a small schooner to Labrador, to begin his work among a settlement of men, women and children, most of whom were English speaking peoples. The prim itive conditions of their civiliza tion made the opportunity for serv ice very great, Dr. Grenfell said. Nine hundred of them had never be fore seen a doctor. They had no knowledge of money, and all their business was in the form of barter. Dr. Grenfell told this interesting story, illustrating the fact that little culture was known to these people. (Continued on page three) Faust Film Praised; Showing to Aid Fund For Fine Arts Hall Much praise is given “Faust” as a motion picture by Dr. C. V. Boyer, head of the English department. “I went to the production expecting to be disappointed in it because I thought the motion picture would spoil it, but I was disappointed in expecting to be disappointed. “I was very much pleased with the picture. Opportunities for sen sationalism and sentimentalism are carefully avoided, and yet there is enough sentimentalism to attract the public, as it is not overdone. “The character of Mepliistopheles will be a surprise for the American spectators because of his plump ap pearance. However, they get used to it and find it intriguing. His presentation is novel and very well done. The entire cast is well select ed and all characterizations intel lectually consistent. There are gor geous scenic effects and both inter ior and exterior settings are spec tacular,” Dr. Boyer said. He saw the picture in Portland recently. “Faust” comes to the Heilig February 14, and the production is of special interest to University people as a committee of the Eugene Fine Arts club, in its work to raise funds for the University Memorial Pine Arts Building, is to receive the proceeds of one night’s showing, February 16. The committee is head ed by Mrs. C. D. Rorer, and other ; members are Mrs. John Stark Ev ! ans, Mrs. G. E. Lehman, Mrs. Camp I bell Church, Mrs. A. II. Srhroff, i Mrs. .1. M. Miller, Mrs. W. F.

Matrimony Subject Of Drama Next Week DO YOU know “Everybody’s Husband?” Women look at each other and smile, men shake their heads dubiously. “Every body’s Husband?” Another scandal?' No! It’s a play, a one-act play that is coming just one short week hence. A fantasy on life, hum-druni existence, the dreams of girls, and the thoughts of wives about husbands, are just a few of the things that will be expressed in thirty minutes’ time. Are all husbands alike? Joy Ingalls, as the girl, Will tell whether or not her dream man, played by Glen Potts, is the or dinary man. A dream is a dream; but even a dream can be shat tered by the smug old-fashioned ness and lack of understanding of a mother, Sara Bennethum, and a grand-mother, Diana Dein iuger. Finally, it takes the lively graud-mo tlver, Frances Wardner, to show the girls of even 1927 a thing or two. News Notes Tell Of Ex-Students In Old Oregon Stephenson Smith Edits Book Reviews; Many New Features “Margaret Booth is appearing in dramatic productions in Chicago and New York.” “Roy Bryson is studying music in New York.” “Imogene Lewis is teaching Eng lish in Oregon City high school.” These are but a few of the inter esting news notes which appear in the “News of the Classes” section of Old Oregon for this month which came off the press yesterday. The news items come from members of classes from 1886 to 1928. “The Family Mail” is larger than usual for this month and the let ters printed from graduates and ex students from all over the United States are of interest to all Oregon people. “A Review of Some Recont Books” is the name of a new depart ment which appears in Old Oregon for February. This department is edited by S. Stephenson Smith, as sistant professor of English. This month’s reviews include “Count Bruga” by Ben Ilecht, “Nigger Heaven” by Carl van Vechten, “Iowa Interiors” by Ruth Suckow, “The Orphan Angel” by Elinor Wylie, “Experiments” by Norman Douglas, and “Observations” by Max Beerbohm. Faculty News Notes is another news department this month. It is edited by Mrs. Ralph Casey. Articles in this edition of the alumni magazine are written on suc/h subjects as “The Financial Situation and the Claims of Higher Education,” by Dr. J. H.

DeCou; “Students Study Drama in Guild Hall,” by Grayce Nelson, ’29; “The Fee Situation at the Uni versity of Oregon," by President Arnold Bennett Hall. Crucial Tilt With Aggies Due Tonight ——. Game Expected to Be Hot; Graap and Burr Will Bear Watching Oregon Has Better Showing Thus Far Seating Room at O. A. C. Gymnasium Limited Probable Line-up Oregon O. A. C. Gunther f Mathews Ridings f Schreve Okerberg c Savory Milligan g Burr Westergren g Graap rT'IIE University of Oregon hoop sters play the Oregon Aggies at Corvallis tonight. As both teams have dropped a conference tilt the lhser of tonight’s wrangle will be practically elim inated from the title race of the northern division. The Idaho Van dals have defeat ed both the Ag gies and the Web foots this season, and each time the game was decided Scott MIIMjpm by a one point margin. The dope favors Oregon tonight because the Aggies were defeated on their own floor and the Moscovites had to wait until they had a whack at the Webfoot basketeers on their own floor. Dope Gives Oregon Edge In comparing other scores Coaeh Billy Beinhart’s men look better. The Aggies humbled the Montana Grizzlies with a 48 to 35 score, and the W. S. C. Cougars, 30 to 19. The Oregon team beat the Montana ag gregation 54 to 32, and the Cougars 43 to 23. Coach Bob Hager has been work ing hard with his hoop men all sea son and is pointing for the tilt tonight. Beinhart on the other hand has had to play teams all season that were pointing for h-im because of his success last season. The Aggies have always played a good brand of ball against Oregon, regardless of the comparative posi tions in the percentage column. The Aggies have two veterans on the squad. Bay Graap, captain and guard, has been playing regular for the past two years, and his team, mate Bill Burr won his stripe last year. So far this season Burr has been high point man and will bear watching tonight. Last year Beinhart stationed Chuck Jost on the Aggie scoring ace and held him to three points for the series, but Jost has graduated and it is probable that Gord Rid ings will get the honor of watching the long shot artist tonight. Oregon Has Veterans The Oregon varsity has three vet erans and all of them are working on their third letter. Swede Wes tergren made the all-coast team as a guard last year and was the only man on the coast to be the unan imous choice of all coaches. Jerry (Continued on page four) Alfred H. Schroff Has Paintings Placed on Exhibit in Art Building Artistic Works Picture California Scenes by Use Of Oil and Water Colors A love of soft, rich colors, of coolness, a gentleness that reflects itself in every stroke of the brush— these are some of the characteristics evident in the paintings by Alfred II. Schroff, now hanging in the ex hibiting room of the art building. The entire collection is made up of landscapes and marines, most of which represent the beauty of Cali fornia and its coast and all of them exhibit a hint of renewed inspira tion of new hopes. In tone and color there is much resemblance between water color and oil yet each is outstanding for its remarkable technique. There are those who prefer Schroff's medium oils while others believe he does his best work while painting in water I colors. Regardless of what he him self thinks is his field the facts re main before the eyes of the visitor j in the personality of each painting that he is a master at both. One characteristic which is no ticed by all who visit the exhibition is the presence of lavendar in every painting. Sometimes it is quite ob vious while at other times the color is subordinated to its motive. Al most always the shadows have » rich lavendar tone that is not no ticed until scrutinized closely. The use of this color tends to add the richness of color that all his paint ings are known for. His art is far beyond comparison with that of other painters. It is I extremely individualistic and be I cause of this it leaves a lasting im pression on all who see it. The exhibiting room is open every afternoon from 1:00 to 5:00, ex cept Sundays when it is open from 2:00 until 5:00 and on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:00 until 10:00. University and townsfolk are cordially invited to visit.
