Following the opening of the “no date -when yoia come, but date when you leave dance” on' Thursday right, and the Cat-Astrophe dance Friday afternoon, the peak of the entertainment will be reached and Bar Room Bust will be reversed to a Busted Bar Room when the senior class staggers homeward. Pretzels and—soda pop will be the main attraction. And a bar—a real B. P. (Befor’e Prohibition) bar will be the most popular piece of furni ture. Between pretzels a«d soda pop the couples will give each other support in the recreation of dancing. The music box -will be in the form of a four-piece orchestra, which will give atmosphere as well as syncopa tion. Crazy -words, crazy tunes, crazy pesters, and (yazy clothes will be motifs of the evening, says Iris Saunders, who has charge of the Bar Room Bust plans. The directorate for the Leap Week ha"S had another meeting and all plans are reported to be leaping .ahead. Marian Barnes is chairman.

'Big Train’ MacDonald Has Plenty Of Speed; Career Begun in East As a speed ball pitcher, Oregon has an outstanding performer in the person of Reynold MacDonald, who has been called the “Big Train” of this year’s dia mond squad. “Maq” is the huskiest of the 1928 mound-men, weighing around 188 pounds, and when he bears ■ down on a pitch f the batter is fre quently aware of ■ no more than a streak of white across the plate. Reynold MacDonald Beynold made umerals last year in both basketball and bajseball, playing guard with the hoopsters and pitching for the baseball team. Mac came to Oregon from Buffalo, New York, where he graduated from the Masten Park high school of that city. In high school he played four years with the football aggregation under Coach Frank Morissey of Bos ton College, first as half and later as quarter-back. Selected captain during his last season, he led his team to the third consecutive dis trict championship. He was also elected captain of the hockey team during his last year, when the Mas ten squad won the state champion ship after a hard fought series with the Nichols Preparatory school of Buffalo. Coached by Coach Dold of Yale, Mac was wing with the hockey sex tet for three years. His pitching ability earned him four letters with the nine, and during this period the Masten school won one league cham pionship, nosing out Lafayette high school of Buffalo by two games. Mac’s fast ball was developed by Coach Eugene Heck, a graduate of Michigan. MacDonald is a sophomore in the school of physical education, and is a member of the Sigma Nu fra ternity. He is twenty-one years old and is about six feet in height. New Fund. Is Set Aside For Scholarships Underclassmen To Be Recipients Under Regulations Stale Committee Will Be Named To Solicit Donations Scholarship funds providing aid for underclassmen whose personal ity, character, intellect and physique, together with practical experience in the direction of student affairs, giv ing evidence of the quality of com munity dcadership, have been es tablished by the University and.' are to be known as the Oregon Commonwealth Scholarships!, it is announced by Elmer L. Shirrell, dean of men and member of the com mittee to administer the scholarship funds. These scholarships are not pri marily to replace other funds and scholarships, but are intended for underclass students for whom loan funds are not available, and who are so far removed from graduation and earnings that it is undesirable to encourage them to borrow ex tensively. Group to Administer A committee to administer the scholarships has been formed and consists of the President of the University, dean of men, director of athletics, chairman of the schol arship committee, the registrar, and one alumnus of the University ap pointed by the President of the in stitution. The present members of the committee are: President Ar nold Bennett Hall, Dean Elmer L. Shirrell, Virgil Earl, Dean James H. Gilbert, Earl M. Pallett, and John C. Veatch, president of the alumni association. President Hall will appoint a number of sub-committees > to co operate with the committee in ad ministering the scholarships. These will consist of from three to seven members each, and (the majority will be alumni of the University. These committees will be responsi ble for securing funds in their re gions for the scholarships. Expenses and Fees Funds received by the Univer sity of Oregon Scholarships arc made over to the University of Oregon and handled by the comp troller, who is a bonded financial agent. The funds will be dis bursed only upon the order of the committee. The amount of any scholarship is determined by the committee and may vary in accordance with its judgment, depending upon the need of the individual and the availa bility of the funds. Scholarships awarded for living expenses are to be paid monthly in advance; those for fees are to be paid upon the date fees are due. Awards for One Year Awards are ordinarily made for one year. The committee will for mulate regulations, forms and pro cedures for making the awards, and will keep in touch with the recipi ents of scholarships. The amount which has been do nated to the scholarship fund has not been made public, but a con siderable sum has been set aside for this purpose. Donations should be made to the Oregon Common wealth Scholarship fund. Donors who wish to establish scholarships as memorials or for special purposes may do so, however, and have them administered by the committee. Awards and scholarships cleared through this committee will be list ed in the catalog, and will be rec ognized only if administered in this manner. Junior Men Asked To Help With Vod-Vil An urgent call for junior men to appear at McArthur court Friday afternoon and all day Saturday to help build and paint scenery for the Junior Vodvil, has been issued by George Mason, chairman of con struction work. Little or no re sponse has Jieretofore been received and the work is progressing very slowly. Several elaborate and beautiful scenes under construction have been temporarily shelved duo to lack of workers, according to Mr. Mason. It is necessary to finish these scenes at once so that pictures may .be taken of them to be used in pub licity work, he stated. Here Rests Future of Junior Week-end J THE directorate which is in charge of arranging the entertainment for the big annual function of the junior class. Beading from left to right, the committee includes: Roy Herndon, canoe fete; William Haggerty, publicity; Mel Cohn, assistant chairman; Jo Ralston, campus luncheon; Joe McKoown, general chairman; Ag nes Petzold, secretary; Billy O* Bryant, junior vodvil; Ed Winter, junior prom; and William Eddy, campus day. Jesus’ Way Is Foster’s Desire Evolution Termed God’s Own Process “I recommend the way of Jesus to anyone who wants to march on into the future at the head of the column,” said Dr. Allyn T. Poster, lecturer of the Baptist board of edu cation, in his speech at yesterday’s assembly. His subject was, “Does Evolution Dispose of Religion?” “Is Jesus Christ a product of evolution? Suppose He is, we have Him just the same. The processes of evolution are God’s. By no chance can they belong to the scientists. If Christ were a product of evolution He would still be the one altogether lovely, and chief among ten thousand. Somehow Christ was a revelation of God,” the speaker declared. “Wo describe things by accurate measurements and then by symbols, or first by symbols and then by measurements,” explained Dr. Fos ter. “God is not an Oriental poten tate, wearing a tinsel crown and surrounded by His courtiers, but a cosmic God. Ho is everywhere, im minent and transcendant. “We are with Him all the time. We do not lose God. We see Him in every reaction in the laboratory. God is not lost, but found,” he said. Some postulate constant improve ment in mankind, and believe that they have but to sit tight and they will go to the Elysian Fields, accord ing to the speaker, but they have only to go into the .laboratory and hear a scientist speak on evolution to know that there is a bloody strug gle going on everywhere. He quoted the Biblical definition of sin as “the transgression of law,” and re marked that when an organism vio lates the plan of nature it pays the bill, often -with extinction. Specialization and cooperation are two methods of advance, ac cording to Dr. Foster. Life from the lowest species to the highest is constantly being given up for the good of the whole, and individuals do not hold their lives as their own, but as at the call of the group. No man Jias ever lived in perfect joy who has not helped lift the burden of the group, in the speaker’s opin ion. “Surely human life can reach out to a higher environment and bo re organized,” said Dr. Foster. “The whole thing is based on variability and reorganization. It is possible for man to reorganize the atoms of ,his nature. For instance, new in terests have come to you on the campus.” No energy is ever lost and none can come into this planet without disturbing the energy already here, according to Dr. Foster. The finest energy is not in the body, not in the mind, but in both these plus per sonality. President A. B. HaH Will Returre April 17 President Arnold Bennett Hall will return to the campus April 17, according to word received here. President Hall lias been gone since March 18 from the campus on Uni versity business. He was in Chi cago, Illinois, from April 5 to 13. Secrecy Hiding Stunts May Be Lifted as Time For April Frolic Nears Tomorrow you can say, “Tonight’s ihe night,” co-eds. For tomorrow night at 7:30 the loors of the gym in the Woman’s auilding will be opened to what promises to be the most entertain ing April Frolic in April Frolic his tory. Assurance of this comes from Frances Plimpton, general chairman rf the Women’s League event. She got the tip from the heads of the four class stunts and the var ious committees for features, cur tain acts, music, etc., all of whom have been working hard so that they can truthfully say it. It is also hinted that a touch of humor will pervade the class stunts, although the birdies are keeping their luiowledgo of the stunts secret as yet. Bumor has it, though, that they will not bo able to keep it out of tomorrow’s Emerald. Announcement Orders Suggested by Kinley Members of the senior class who expect to got their announcements in time for commencement exercises in Juno should get their orders placed at the Co-op store within the next few days, according to an an nouncement made yesterday by Sam Kinley, chaimnan of the senior announcement committee. The announcements this year are quite different from thoso of pre ceding commencements, according to Kinley. A special effort was made to find an announcement which would combine attractiveness with dignity and yet one which would be sufficiently inexpensive I that the class members would not | be forced to add a great deal to the regular cost of graduation. Arrangements for the announce ments were completed yesterday, and orders will be taken immedi ately. However, owing to tlio length of time which is necessary for the turning out of a good job, the orders should be placed without delay. University High Holds Successful Shine Day Thursday was Shine Lay, not Junior Shine Lay, but University High Shine Lay.

'Swan’ Makes Year’s Biggest Hit During Repertoire Performance By ALICE COIIMAN The presentation of “The Swan” last night at the Guilcf theater was the most perfect production staged by Miss Wilbur’s classes during tlio entire year. It may be said that it didn’t have a weak spot in it. Every character was perfectly cast and each individual interpretation was remarkable for its excellence. Miss Joy Ingalls as Alexandra, daughter of the Princess Beatrice (Grace Gardner), struck the note of delicacy and whimsy that charac terizes the entire play. As a very gentle and sweetswillod young wo man, Miss Ingalls forms the neces sary contrast to Grace Gardner, who is the dominant, strong willed wo man that governs every one around | her. The charm of the play be longs to Miss Ingalls’ rendering, to gether with Arthur Anderson’s dis cerning construction on the part of the professor, I)r. Hans Agi. Grace Gardner’s portrayal of the princess mother scheming for the marriage of her daughter with Prince Albert was practically flaw loss aiul tlio more commendable be cause of its difficulty. Clean Potts, who played Prince Albert,, quite captured the apprecia tion of his audience. We have not appreciated Mr. Potts sufficiently before. lie has that enviable abil ity to litorally make a lino with tho slightest inflection of his voice. Cecil Matson was quite on a par with any of tho characters in tho play as tho jovial friar, Hyacinth, brother to Beatrice. Ho was hu man and understanding, even as Alexandria found him. Still another outstanding charac ter was Eunice Payne, who was Princess Maria Dominica, mother of Albert. She possessed all tho qualities of a queen, majesty, aris tocracy, pride and poise. Tho unusual success of the play is undoubtedly due to the careful and accurate easting of each individual part which is to the particular credit of Miss Florence Wilbur, director of dramatics. All tho minor parts were well handled also, which together with tho very good stage setting and lighting effects, combined to> make tho evening’s production en» tiroly excellent iu quality.
