Schumann-Heink Bringing a Treat r I ''QMOUROW is “Sehumajin-Hcink -% Day.” Downtown it has been j 'Officially proclaimed so by Mayor, | Williamson; on the campus the cele brated contralto will appear on her farewell American tour after more than a half-century of public, enter tainment. Qur "eagerness to hear Madame Schumann-Heink again has been all the more enhanced by finding that ] her program for tomorrow night is a list of her own particular favor ites. That is rare luck indeed for the students. Considerable credit should be as signed the student concert, bureau for the unusually distinguished genius whom they have secured. And nothing but the. ..participation of the entire student body could have made this treat open to every one. mu Although the Kmerald must, agree that McArthur court is anything but ideal as a concert hall, it can seat, the audience that, such an attraction will draw. And if there exists any where a voice which can shop the acoustical demons from the vault of the mighty Igloo, that, voice is Madame Schumann lleiuk’s. Blue Bird Stuff For Dynamic Collegians yitUTU peculiar to summer school were accented by Presi dent Hall in the summer session section of yesterday’s Emerald. “We hope that many of our resi dent students will find it possible to attend the summer session, not only to make up additional credits or to hasten the day of their gradu ation, but also to take advantage of tin* new contacts and the new points of view which both visiting students and instructors will bring to our summer session.” Put nowhere does Dr. llall sq much as mention what we eouut the apogee of all summer session attri butes—where there is not oven a cloud so big as a man’s hand to blot the serenity of the Parnassian sky . . . . nqt one extra-curricular ac tivity! The euro for too much Schooling is not more school; it is a change. To tlie academically satiated, the summer session offers a refreshing interlude^ .in the tedious four-year ‘monotony of bustle. It provides a. novel atmosphere, un worried and casual, where nothing ma,tiers ex cept study; where nothing is forced. So the Emerald not only wishes to amplify the president’s recom mendation; we would specifically prescribe summer session for every | big active campus worker. It would bring him a glimpse of life. More. Sport For More Sports ' 1 'UK embryo lawyers and jour nalists clashed yesterday 'with swinging bats and howls of joy. The would-be barristers won the gamo and are temporarily acknowledged the better crew of diamond, athletes. It was some game. The losers shod no bitter tears of regret nor did they show concern over the vic tors’ loud crowings of glee. To the devotee of science in sport, the game could have passed for nothing short of the classification of rotten. To the lover of sport for sport’s sake, it was just about the best ever. Amateur sport with all the fun and tumbles of a real amateur con test; such was the game. Amateur from the rusty gate swings of inex perienced batters to the cjccisions of Umpires Turnbull and Itosson. The most professional aspect of the qn t.ire sesion was the “razzing” from the crowd in the bleachers. Amateur sport has been losing its hold on the American people, we hear said frequently. The very awareness with which the average man performs when endeavoring to take part in a chance athletic game hears out the truth of tho state ment. We venture the guess that it is the ipci-easing demand that, all players perform with the polished smoothness of the professional ath lete, coupled with the idea that a victory and not the joy of competi tion is the end in view, that has brought about the decline of ama teur sports. Till' athlete who closest approaches fite machine in perform ance wins our applause. We wor ship perfection and fail lo, sqc the joyous spirit of play which mphi vates the whole idea of sports. the participant unquestionably gets tin’ most good out of sports. As long as wij continue to devote all our time to worship of the most nearly perfect athletes, we will con tinue (o get less mid less from sports tor our standards constantly heroine more rigid. Anpilenr sports partici pated in by simon-pure athletes and novices will keep team sports alive and full ot interest. Intramural and depart mental contests are a great help in spreading fun and health on the campus. There can well be more of t.liem. W. C.

Positions I have been secured by most of the j students who have taken the cours es, said Dr. Parsons, and there is a great opening for graduates from ; the school. For the coining year the ' .school can accommodate five me* | for field training ami about 15 j women. I'hese people should be relieve graduates or should liave a senior standing. If they enter with senior standing the year in the school of social work will count to ward graduation. Miss Thomson, who is one of the ti\e outstanding nursing education women in America, is the person to he consulted in regard to the nurs ing work. A five year course will be ottered on the campus. * hose interested should leave (heir nanu s at <'\tfn>i.Mi di\»Mi>u ami i uiiicu no‘s will be arranged.

Adams of the Law School jointed to midfield where Milligan recov ered the fumble for the Journalists and dribbled to the Law School ten yard line. On the next jilay, Nooe of tlie “J V’-stopped back as though to whisper to the referee, but he shouted instead. Denson of the Law Sjchool came running over the low hurdles and batted the shot out. of Node’s hands, scooped it up and ran around the track with it to.niake thp lpiic touch down of the match. The game ended before;it was half over, just as Milligan received a pass to the Hcjilig theater.

The diplomas sell for $l.!ks instead of $.10.00, as the University charges, and it is interesting to note in pass ing that of the three members of the class of ’^7 to land jobs, two of them were holders of Seven Seers brand diplomas.

SEVEN SF.F.R.s Him Tips HcDONALD; Thursday, Friday and Saturday—Twenty-seven dough boys iji love with the same fraulein! Carl Laemmle presents “BUCK PRIVATES.” REX: Last day—Jean Hersholt and Alice Joyce in “13 WASHING TON SQUARE.” HEILIG: Marion Davies in “THE PATSY.” COLONIAL: Billie Dove in “THE AMERICAN BEAUTY.” COLONIAL: Thursday — Billie Dove and Lloyd Hughes in “AMER ICAN BEAUTY,” a fast-moving, laugh-taking comedy starring Billie Dove as the little “food-checker” in the St. Anthony hotel dining room. Billie, as Millicent Howard, is another one of those working girls striving for the pretty things they want. How Millie fools them all into believing she is “the” so ciety girl and then gets snared in her own trap by appearing at a ball in the borrowed “American Beauty” dress of the season, is very cleverly worked up. The entire, picture is very well portrayed and is worth seeing. Also Aesop’s Fables, “A HOLE IN ONE” and a good fast cojpqdy featuring Lupino Lane in. “HELLO SAILOR.” L. M. B. REX: Thursday—Jean Hersholt alp) Alice Joyce in “13 WASHING TON SQUARE.’’ This play gives a few of the circumstanced- which might happen when a society snob who doesn’t want her son to marry, and a crook who has a weakness for valuable paintings meet qne dark night in a house. The show is light comedy with a few faults in the plot, but on the whole, it is more interesting than the average. If you don’t mind a few impossible situations, but want light comedy and nothing else see it. The best acting is done by Alice Joyce. Also on the same program, “The Pabco Girl’’ gives a song and dance num ber at nine; an Oregon News reel and a Buster Brown comedy fea tured. F, H. HEILIG: Second day — Marion Davies in “THE PATSY.” This play shows Marion Davies at her best and the supporting cast, particularly Marie Dressier as Ma Harrington, and Jane Winton as Grace Harring ton, «;as well, chosen. The love af fair of the adolescent Patricia Har rington with Tony Anderson, her big sister’s beau, was deftly handled and laugh provoking. Lawrence Gray added some pleasant moments as Billy Caldwell, irresponsible young millionaire. One fedt ex tremely sorry for both Patricia and her father in the early part of the picture. Never was anyone so hen pecked and nagged at as that pair. In addition to “The Patsy” the University High School players prq-. seated an extremely well dope, ver sion of “THE VALIANT,” a dra matic one act play. The play brought more than onq handkerchief into view before the curtain went down. Hermit Stevens, as “Dyke,” a condemned criminal, and Janet Timelier as '•Josephine Paris,” who comes a thousand miles to find out if he is her brother, both give fin ished performances, An interesting IJFA novelty film "The Parasol Ant.” and the Patlie News reel complete the program. It is all worth going to see for such a program is varied and unusual, E. J. C. Barker is here, he wants to go there. Where, O, where? Xo Salomi to Salem. 52 X M. S. BARKER Ruth Miller, Now at Bryn Mawr, Writes of Huge May Day Festival Ruth Comfort Miller, who gradu ! ated from the University last year, 1 is finishing her first year at Bryn Mawr this June where she has had a scholarship. She plans to spend the summer at Wood’s Hole taking work in biology, and will then con tinue her work at Radcliffe, taking courses at Harvard Medical School, Miss Miller was offered a fellow ship to Bryn Mawr next year but ‘since she is particularly interested in Parasitology, she has decided to finish at Radcliffe. She was a mem ber of Kappa Kappa Gamma and Phi Beta Kappa on the campus. Ruth is having a wonderful time at Bryn Mawr amid the cultural background of Philadelphia, and writes enthusiastic letters regarding her visits to historic scenes, con certs and museums in that city. Following is a letter which she has written her mother, Mrs, I. M. Mil ler, about her activities: “I have been May-Baying since six <}’clock this morning. I was awakened by sophomores singing at each senior’s door. At breakfast much more singing, then crowning of May cpieen and senior procession to president’s home, then general jprocession, with band and dance steps, etc., then winding of five May poles—greqn, red, yellow, light blue and dark blue, then chapel and end less announcement of fellpws and scholars. How every one docs cat up this ritual business. Everyone on, the campus is in white today, even L Even I helped wind a May poie. “May day, the great and only May day, is now over, and let me tell you it is opo grand and glorious festivity. Classes have amounted to nothing or less than that for two weeks. I have never seen academic work so demoralised or so shot for any activity in my life. Junior Week-end is a mere moment’s diver sion compared to this May day. With their customary concern for things well done, this affair was put on with more finish and eclat than tilings are in our country where we take them loss seriously. The weather was at its very best. We had had gorgeous days for two pre ceding days, and yesterday and to day', the, days of the. .fete, that weather was. positively hot; and I mean hot; we roasted. “Tea was served on the lawn near Denbigh, with maids and nice dark ies to wait on them and bring sand wiches, cakes, ice cream and tea to tlie thirsty throng. The pageant it self is wonderful. It begins with a procession which of course marches with the aid of a band. The cos tumes of the queen (Bess) and her Last Day Matinee Today 2 P.

The May poles and dancing on the green all takes place in front of the grandstand. After this spectacle is completed, the real events of the day begin. There are five plays taking place in various 'hollows about the campus, and the | crowd breaks up and distributes it [ self at these various functions. Each play is given three times in an afternoon, but even so, it is pos ■ sible to see only three at the most, | and you usually get so hot and tired that you leave out one of these and [get some tea. Thus it is advan i tageous to come bpth afternoons. While thpsp plays are in progress, there occurs on the green a succes sion of' dances, morrice, sword, coun try gypsy, tumbling^ etc. “The whole idea is to make it an exact replica of a May day frolic in the days of Elizabeth. The idea of the pageant this year was the visit of Queen Bess to Oxford. There are small stands about the green which dispense pop and cakes to the personnel qf the pageant. , “And what was Byth doing while all this was in preparation and in progress? Well, I am afraid that she was working very hard in the laboratory even, up to the moment of putting on, a costume and gallop ing about the green. She was a pretty little boy and I will send you some kodak pictures that we took :of ourselves when they are ready so you can see my shame. “Thero were flocks and droves of movie men taking reel after reel of scenes of the dress rehearsal. They were not allowed on the campus during the actual May day.” Every Student feels a fundamental in terest in religion. The present reaction against traditional dogma is a symptom of sincerity. The Congregational Church invites thoughtful college men and women to hear an address on “The Ultimate Basis of Faith’’ by Professor Harold S. Tuttle of the School of Ed ucation.
