Tito Schip.a tho beloved! I think
no man in the world is so loved os
Tito So hi pit—mul tho reason? Be
cause he loves the world and all
things in it. It is the significant
thing in his singing, above his flaw
less technique, his perfect liquid
tones, above even the exquisiteness
of his nuances. Tt is the love in
his voice that wins'the' heart, and
then there is the charm of his per
sonality too. lie loves his audience,
and lie loves the songs he sings,
lingering over a tone with the fond
ness of a caress. Again and again
last night tiie audience called him
back, and he c 'me, smiling, with an
encore every time, lie wanted to
sing them another song. You don’t
need to know n language to under
stand wlmt ho is singing oitlior, nor
is tlio story in liis faoo, whore so
many put it, lint in his vorv tones.
Schipn sings, anil tlie things of this
world suddenly love their reality
and the world of dreams holds
sway, which is not surprising either
when we learn from Mr. Schipn
himself that the Manon (The
Dream) of Massenet’s was his own
favorite of his program. It was
not hard to discern that either, for
in it he puts his whole soul and
heart; it above all expressed Tito
Schipn the man, with the heart
overflowing with love.
Another outstanding feature in
his singing is the absolute clearness
and distinctness of his enunciation,
and yet it is without effort. And
his technique, he is above that
there is no longer technique in his
songs, they are as natural and un
studied as the songs of birds. I
think no number showed this more
than Nina (rVrgole.se), when his
voice became almost an echo in the

Tito Schipa Pays Visit To Eugene’s
Airfield But Fails To Get Ride Aloft
By PHYLLIS VAN HIMMELL
Flourishing gestures and excited
exclamations continued fast and
furious for the greater part of the
afternoon out at Eugene’s airfield.
Aviation was acclaimed with flow
ery words in French and Italian,—
Tito Seliipa and his staff were en
thusiastic.
George Godfrey, university di
rector of public relations, took
Seliipa and his staff out to the air
field for a thrill. They got it. The
accompanist, Frederick Longas, went
up, and came down breathless, but
talking. He talked for some time.
George doesn’t know what he said.
It might have been French, it might |
have been Italian—it wasn’t Eng
lish.
George Cahill, manager, went up
next. Godfrey doesn't remember
what he said, either. After that
there was some discussion. Tito
wanted to go up but lie was unde
cided. There were arguments for
and against. He was all inter
ested and extremely excited. This
aviation business was wonderful.
He said so in several different ways.
At last his manager convinced him
that he'd better not go up: too
much wind, too cold. Tito wanted
to make an especially good perform
ance for the university students so
he mustn’t catch cold.
In the deluge of talk that fol
lowed the .rides into the air, God
frey discovered that, besides sing
ing, Tito, world premier lyric tenor,
is primarily interested in aviation.
Some day he will elude those who
are forever taking care of him and
take a very high and a very long

Albany College
Engages Oregon
Frosh Debaters
‘Jury Protects Criminal’
Says Affirmative; Time
Test Cited by Negative
Tlio much debated and much writ
ten about jury system received an
other hearing last night when Al
bany college represented by an af
firmativo team exchanged verbal
blows with the University of Ore
gon freshman negative team in 107
Villain. Men for Albany college
were Rex Lamm and William Fitz
patrick ; for Oregon freshmen, John
V. Long and- Arthur Potwin. Wal
ter Lvnns acted as chairman, and no
decision was rendered.
“The constitution guarantees a
speedy trial,” the affirmative stat
ed, -‘but as a wicldcr of timely jus
tice, the jury has failed. The jury
protects the criminal from the
people and does not protest the
people from the criminal. The jury
is a flat failure because it menaces
society, and its inability is recog
nized in the rides of evidence which
are found to be necessary. We can’t
get rid of the strict rules of evi
dence and consequent quibbling of
lawyers unless wo abolish the cause,
the present jury system.”
The negative in turn took the
stand in defense of the jury system,
declaring tint the system has stood
the test of time, that every system
of government must rest its foun
dation on the governed, the people
of the nation. “If we are to abol
ish the jury system, let us abolish
the United States congress, the
state legislatures, for they are all
fundamental in the . foundation of
democracy. The jury is unhamper
ed by precedent, and emotion is de
sirable in the courtroom to tone
the working of the law, and make
justice more just.”
‘Cord’ Dance Planned
For Vpper.classmen
A “cord” dance for the juniors
and seniors of (lie campus will be
held sometime during the first three

The dance will be modeled on a
similar affair held annually al the
University .of California, and will
be held at the (.'a in pa Shoppe. Moor
ad and Francis McKenna, presi
dent of the senior class, are arrang
ing the details of the dance and
will appoint committees to take
charge of it at the beginning of the
new term.

School ‘Merger First
Thought of in 1909
Corvallis Newspaper Took
Lead in Supporting It
The new regents merging bill,
which was passed by the state legis
lature recently, is not. a new idea.
In 1909 that body discussed the
proposition of combining the ° two
schools as one unit in Corvallis.
The legislature seemed to think
it much better to do away with the
smaller normal schools and have just
one. With two separate types of
colleges expenses would be greatly
reduced besides this there would lie
no duplication in the study plan.
Oregon Stall- college was cited as
a very practical college ambit would
be greatly benefitteil bv adding the
classical branch of the U. of ().
The seat of the school would be at
Corvallis, which offered great ad
vantages.
In order to save the equipment
at Eugene it was proposed to put
the state normal schools there.
This idea- was called the “Cor
vallis Scheme” and was greatly
played up by the Corvallis Gazette,
which said in part that they thought
it would be a wise thing to move
the college down there.
The bill now, 20 years later, has
been passed. It provides for one
board of regents, it will see to it
that there will be no duplication of
courses, and that the functions of
both will work in harmony.
Stelson on Tour
F. L. Stetson, director of the ap
pointment bureau of the school of

Located in Y. M. lint
One hundred and forty-four men
have received work this term

bureau, and they have earned a
total of .+ 1 li,(ISI, according to the
report given liv Mrs, Charlotte Don

Christian work which was held last
night.
Of this amount., $15,484 was

approximately .+ 11201) was made at
temporary jobs.
This is a considerable increase
over the amount of work done by
the employment agency for winter
term in 1027-102#,' Mrs. Donnelly
pointed out. At that time, Id!) men
received work, and ,+1d,7d(i was
earned, showing that five more men
were supplied with work this term,
and +!HS was earned.
Twenty-seven foreign students
were supplied with work, and the
money they earned totaled* .+4,151,
the report showed.
Work in the campus living or
ganizations, waiting table, washing
dishes, doing janitor work and mak
ing fires, uses more men than any
other form of employment. Kighty
two Filipino students worked as
house boys.
The remaining 41 men who re
ceived employment, through the bur
eau held jobs of all sorts, mostly
work off the campus. Two work in
down town restaurants. One is a
radio service man, one teaches danc
ing, and another collects bills, three
work as night watchmen. Resides
that several men care for lawns,
usher in theaters, and run steam
pressers in laundries.
Reflex Talk Listed
On Program of Club
Psychology Group to Meet
Tonight, Hear Campbell
Malcolm A. Campbell, graduate
student in psychology, studying here
for his master's degree, will give a
“Review of Pavlov’s Work oil the
Conditioned Reflex,” at the meet
ing of the Psychology club this
evening at 7:.'(0. The meeting is
open to all major and graduate stu
dents in psychology as well as fac
ulty members of the department.
Pavlov, a Russian psychologist,
lias contributed much to these
sciences in the thirty years he has
been doing research work. Pavlov
has tried to place the psychology of
learning on a physiological basis.
Ills experiments with dogs on the
continued reflex are well known to
students the world over. The Rus
sian scientist found that by repeat
edly presenting meat to his dog at
the same time ho rang a bell, he
could after a time arouse the dog’s
hunger merely by ringing the bell.
Pavlov’s contributions to psychol
ogy along these lines will form the
basis for Campbell’s talk.
Addiesses by I)r. Howard Taylor
and Dr. A. R. Moore before the club
have been postponed till after spring
vacation.

Hill Reinhart succeeds Kugeno
Vida I as head backfield coach.
Vidal resigned last season to take
over business duties in the east. A
super-varsity coach and a conch to
replace Reinhart on the freshman
football team will be made within
the next few weeks, announced Joe
McKeown.
Oregon’s new backfield coach has
been associated with winning teams
in the northwest ever since he came
to Oregon in 1921. Reinhart, while
taking over the work id1 assistant
coach, will remain here as head
basket ball and baseball mentor.
Played on Webfoot Teams
Reinhart is a graduate of Oregon
and won letters in baseball, basket
ball and football, lie was quarter
back on the Webfoot football team
in the years of 1919, 1920 and 1921.
lit- was a member of the famous
Oregon team which lost to Harvard,
7 to <i, at Pasadena.
Reinhart’s success as freshman
football coach has been exception
ally good, and he won the majority
of his games. His greatest success,
however, has been with the basket
ball team. Since coming here as
head basketball coach from Salem
high school in 1921, Reinhart has
won two northwest titles and tied
for honors once. This year is tin1
first time his team ever finished
