'Essay Contest
Ends Monday
Prize for Freshman Is
New Feature Offered
By Mrs. Warner
Next Monday is the deadline for
turning in essays for the Murray
Warner contest, the committee in
charge announces. More entries than
in previous years are being received,
but it is not definitely known how
many there will be, as essays are
. being turned in by students who
~ have not previously signified their
intention of entering.
The giving of a special prize for
the best essay submitted by a fresh
man is a new feature of the contest
this year. First prize in the gen
eral contest is $150, second prize $100,
and third $50. There is also, as be
fore, a prize of $100 for students
from the Orient. These students
are restricted in their subject to
the relations of their own country
to the United States, while the
others are allowed to write on the
relations between the United States
and any oriental nation. The prize
for the freshman winner is $50. Win
ners of first prizes in a previous
Murray Warner essay contest are
not eligible for competition this
year, and competition is open only
to undergraduates.
Announcement of the judges for
the contest will be made later, the
committee announces. They will be
chosen both from the campus and
. from the outside.
T Many students have been making
-J use of the Murray Warner library
collection in getting material for
use in their writing. The essays will
be about 5000 words in length. A
number of them are being turned in
by students in classes which are
studying some phase of relations of
the orient to this country.
Last year first prize in the gen
eral contest was won by Phil Bergh,
second prize by Paul Tracy, and
third by Walter Butler. First prize
in the contest for students from the
orient was won by James Jower,
and the second by Fraaicis Domingo.
The faculty, -yoinmittce ait charge
of the contest is composed of George
Turnbull, chairman; William P.
Maddox, W. F. G. Thachcr, Victor
P. Morris, and L. O. Wright. An
other committee, headed by Warren
1). Smith, has been active in pro
moting interest in the contest.

UNIVERSITY OP WASHING
TON, March 29.—(P.I.P.)—Empha
sizing their stand against the re
printing of “sex” and “gin” jokes
appearing in college magazines, the
I Western Association of College
j Comics, in the second days’ sessiq^
of their convention, resolved by the
| formation of a new committee, to
[ suppress all plagiarism of stories
and humor appearing in college
comics.
“Our reason for formulating such
a committee,” declared Winston
Norman, secretary of the comic as
sociation, “is that many magazines
throughout the country have been
guilty of copying humor from the
college monthlies without permission
and without credit.”
Under the new plan, which was
passed on, the association’s secretary
will be notified by any of the col
lege magazines which discover at
tempts at plagiarism, and he will
handle the matter for the associa
tion. ,

Eugene Concert
—
Complete Program Plan
Of Music Group
The university will enjoy a real
musical t^eat within tile next couple
cf weeks for the men’s glee club
plans to duplicate in Eugene the
j program which it presented on its
annual spring tour of Oregou towns
! last week. The glee club opened its
I tour at Albany on March 16, sing
j ing a 30-minute concert in conjuuc
! tion with the regular feature pic
; ture of the Globe theatre.
The club journeyed to Salem la
te: the same night, appeared three
times at the Capitol theater in Sa
lem Saturday, then proceeded to
Portland to, fulfill an engagement
at the Bagdad. Shortly after their
arrival they sang over radio K. G.
W. of the Mjorning Oregonian in
a special afternoon concert from
five until six. On the day following
this concert the singers entertained
more than 6,000 students of Wash
ington, Lincoln, Benson and Jef
ferson high schools.
Speakers from the Greater Ore
gon committee accompanied the
club to each of the high schools,
sketching a few of the advantages
to be had in pursuing a higher edu
cation in Eugene. The Bagdad en
gagement was fulfilled on Tuesday
and Wednesday, the group of sing
ers appearing before packed houses
at every performance.
Tho program was excellently ar
ranged, opening with the Oregon
pledge song as the curtain rose, and
continuing through a group of var
ied numbers which included even
vaudeville skits. One of the out
standing features was the grand op
era number by Madame Mario
Wolfgang Seliaetzel von Spugvitz.
Madame Spugvitz created a sensa
tion and John Stark Evans, direc
tor of the glee club, has already
made arrangements for her appear
ance with the club in Eugene.
Southwestern Oregon
Hears Orchestra Play
The University orchestra’s South
western Oregon trip during the
spring vacation this year was a
financial success in all ways, accord
ing to Rex Underwood, director of
the orchestra. The itinerary of the
trip included the towns of Roseburg,
Grants Pass, Ashland, and Medford,
and concerts in each of these towns
were given in conjunction with the
theatres.
Children's matinees were held in
all tho towns except Hoseburg, the
children being let out of school espe
cially for the occasion. This was
done with the cooperation of the
teachers, who had explained the pro
grams before the concert. These
matinee programs were purely educa
tional and were especially intended
for the school children. Two eve
ning concerts were presented in each
city.
The Orchestra’s home concert is to
be presented at the Heilig theatre,
Friday and Saturday nights, April
5 and 6. There will be a thirty
minute concert presented each night
in conjunction with the Heilig at
traction, and a children’s concert
will be given Saturday afternoon.
The orchestra’s new policy of
making its trips pay for themselves
is working out very nicely since all
of their engagements have been on
a commercial basis. The plan seems
to bo succeeding well without detri
ment to the prestige of the group.
