The name was sug gested by Kay Talbott, who is in charge of the K. Hamaker . Fpt<‘ programs. Jj :i s t year the event, was entitled the “PhantonT Fete.” Work on the “Fantnme dn Ftnt,” which will lie presented Friday night, May 10, as the big event of Junior Week-end, is progressing well, according to TIamnker. Kay Talbott has designed the programs for the Fete in a motif entirely in keeping with the name of the Fete. They will be printed soon. Work to Start Soon Plans for the decorations of the festival have been worked out in detail by Millard Schmeer. decora tions chairman, and Harlowe Hud son, his assistant. Construction work on the decorations will start next week. The motif will be 'in keep ing with the name “Fantome du Flot,” but the exact details will be kept secret until the night of the Fete. Plans for the lighting, which probably contributes more than any [ other one thing to the effectiveness of the productions, are being made by Harold Elkins, and Terry Doug las. his assistant. The 28 bouses and halls which are entering the 14 floats in this year’s Fete are showing very keen rivalry in competition for the two cups and other prizes offered, Hamaker said. The names and short descriptions of all of the floats entered have been submitted to the directorate, and if the prospects are fulfilled there will be many very beautiful and spectacular floats entered in the contest.

The cups are to hoeome the per manent property of the first houses to win three times. Sigma Pi Tan, not in the competition this year, is the only house that has ever won a cup twice. Another feature of this year’s Pete is the fact that the winning float will be used in filming sev eral scenes for the campus movie on the day following the event. It is also possible that an Internationa] news reel cameraman with a sound recorder will be present on the night of the Fete and film the event to show it throughout the United States.

Modern i stic Trend Is Well Portrayed In Dance Drama New Rhythmic Pattern Characteristic of Transition ‘David and Goliath’ Given As Climax: of Program By RUTH NEWMAN Transition from tho old stylo to the modernistic was an apparent characteristic of the drama Riven by the advanced classes in rhythmic dancing which appeared in recital last niRlif at the Woman’s building. The dance drama will be repeated at 8 o’clock tonight. Numbers particularly exemplify ing the modern trend were the “Mavscli dec Lustigen Tinnier,” by Dohnanvi, a new German dance, in which the rhythmic pattern was car ried with 1 he feet of the dancers; and Space-Rhythm, an entire group in which the true art of dancing was stressed to such an extent that a musical accompaniment was not used. The first part, entitled ‘‘Re quital” was full of force, tho one group in disputation with tho other and ending in victory for one. Rhythm in this was sustained by tho intense play of two deep red Lights streaming from either side into the center of the dance. The mob-like atmosphere of the first part was replaced in the one following ' which was more deli cate and greatly dependent upon the lighting and shadow effect used with it. Two solo numbers, “Valse Bril lante,” by Chopin and “Waltz,” by Brahms were given by Kditlia Bar ttiel and Bessie Schoenberg, respec tively. Both were outstanding. M.iss Schoenberg’s grace ftnd ability was particularly noticeable in another number, a “Suite of Dances,” by Schubert which featured four lead narts. Numbers of more dramatic foun dation were “Lotus Laud,” by Cyril Scott in which Bessie Schoenberg and Lucille Worth proved to bo ar tists; “Trepak,” try Tschaikowsky, a clever Russian costume dance ade quarterly presented by Eunice Dan iels, Marjorie Landru, and Juanita Van Atta; and “Angoli,” by Fros cobalili of Renaissance theme. This number was encored and repeated. A deviation from the more aes thetic numbers was found in the primitive dunce by Cyril Scott, typ ical of the savage-like form of the primitive dance, and the “Marche,” by I’rokofieff; of humorous theme. The concluding and most colorful act was a sonata in eight parts, entitled “David and Goliath,” com posed by Kuhnau. As the name suggests it portrayed the dramatic story of the haughty approach of the giant, Goliath, and his Philis tine army to the camp of the Israel ites in whose midst was the boy, David. By his courage and faith in his God ho slew with his little stoue the mighty giant and saved his people. The acting of the “Is raelites” both in suplication and exultation was splendid. Only approximately 125 persons witnessed the annual presentation of the recital which was given in the dancing room of the Woman’s building employed as a stage facing the main auditorium. The skill and perfect presentation of the per formance was due in part to the able management of Miss Martha Ilill, instructor in the school of physical education. Accompani ments wore Barbara Edmunds and Gla lys Foster. The drama depart ment assisted materially in prepar ing the costumes for the last number of the program. Oregon Drops Tilt To Aggie Nine by 4-3 Webfoots Fail to Hit State Hurler When Hits Mean Runs Teams Will Clash Ai Corvall is Today Etlwartls Poles Out Hefty Homer; Quayle Also Clouts One Out FROSH DEFEAT TEACHERS AT ASHLAND R H E Oregon Frosh .4 6 1 Southern Oregon Normal 2 8 4 By JOE PIGNEY Oregon, the defending champion of (tie nortliern division of (lie Pa cific. const bnseliall conference. timed in the open ing encounter of its drive toward n second succes sive title.

The same Welt Kay Edwards i m prove metits, which defeated almost the same llcaver team last year, was unable to eoiit'mue its 10-9 string of tri umphs. Oregon lost to Melji by a single run, and then the Japanese turned around and walloped 'the Beavers, Id to fi, If dope were a reliable thiag in baseball, Oregon would have won easily. Webfoots Fail to Hit The l(i game conference this sea son will give Oregon plenty of time to recover, and the hope of winning another title is far from lost. This afternoon the Webfoots will take on the Aggies in the second game of the four game series. The outcome should prove whether Oregon was just off-form yesterday or whether the Staters are really more powerful. Oregon played good baseball yes terday, but it was not the peppery kind that wins championships. The chief fault of the team was in its failure to hit. Scoring opportuni ties presented themselves several times but each time the chance was lost when the batter either grounded out or popped up. The Beavers scored first when Quayle poked out a feeble home run t.o left field in the third inning. Oregon, try as it would, could not got by this one run start. Quayle’s hit was a good substantial one, but it was feeble by comparison to the one knocked out by Rav Edwards in the sixth inning. The Beavers had scored three in (Continued on Page Two) McDonald Invites Visiting Preppers To Special Show Numbers by College Men Will Feature ‘Campus Night’ Program To nid in the entertainment of the visiting high school relay teams, tlie McDonald theater has offered to sponsor a “Campus Night” program which will he free to all visiting trackmen and to which everyone else will he admitted at usual prices.
