Soul Believed To Be Spirit j Of University Dean Rebec’s Assertion Figurative; Begins With Aspects Student Assembly j Hears Theories j — Fraternity, Sorority Denote Responsibility and ‘ Comradeship By MARY HELEN KOUPAL “The Soul of a University is the spirit of a university, figuratively speaking,” said George Rebec, dean of the graduate school of the uni versity, in his address at the asso ciated student body assembly yes terday in the Woman’s building. “We begin the search of the soul of a university by its aspects. Spirit sounds like soul. Spirit is educa tive for real and precious values. It is a good thing for the alma mater and men and women that they should give love of arts. It is also a natural manifestation,” believes Dean Rebec. Spirit to be Nurtured “The spirit of a college is to be constantly nurtured. College spirit is a mixed gift through innocent failure of youth to apply values. How far college spirit grows out of and is related to the central theme, is a question, he said. • “I appreciate the charm and the virtue of the fraternity and tliel sorority. They signify genial com radeship, practical experience of re sponsibility, and social graces. I take joy and pride in athletics, and athletic work well done. But it is not the high road to leadership, as many believe,” Professor Rebec stated. intellectual Not center Dean Rebec does not think very highly of the lessons assigned. The > life of the college does not center in the intellectual concerns. He be lieves that an intellectual life con sisting of lessons would be very cold and a formal thing. “The average young man and wo man has a place in the university. The place is not his place. He is well placed when trying to advance education to the limit. There is no reason to assume that there is high ness in averages. The real center of the university is in excellence and in young men and women who are capable of attaining excellence. Quality cannot be postponed—it must be instinct in the university and every member. If this is not attained the university falls short.” By this Dean Rebec means the uni versity should be a place where there is excellence of mind. Research Discussed “Research is and isn’t the soul of a university. Research is with and without ideas—the latter is useless. Research without idea does not enrich or challenge mind. Then, too, you must have science before you can apply science,” Dean Rebec quoted a college professor. A liberal education leads men out into a wider research of mind. All liberation is for men to arrive at their personality. The proper con tent for every properly educated mind is to have a universe. Knowl edge is nothing without the quest of meaning—to the quest of values, Dean Rebec stated. “A working concept of a soul is that aspect of any being, in which that being functions most perfectly and in which that being realized its highest value,” said Dean Rebec Bv this he showed the underlying values and the soul of a university Nhncv Thielsen sang “The Poor Man’s Garden,” by Kennedy '{{us sell, accompanied by Marabel Bra den. Henry Wilson Davis, director of United Christian work gave the invocation. In the two remaining assemblies of this spring term, freshman men will be allowed to sit downstairs. At yesterday’s assembly Dean John Straub invited them down and ask ed that they be allowed to sit down stairs for the rest of the term, “So they may feel like human beings,” lie said. H. E. Gregory to Visit Beta Alpha Psi Group Mr. IT. E. Gregory, professor of business administration and nation al officer of Beta Alpha Psi, na tional professional accounting hon orary, will be a visitor today of the local Beta chapter and guest at the initiation banquet to be given at the Anchorage at 6:30. A business meeting will be held at 6:00 previous to the initiation in the Men’s lounge at the Woman’s building, for the purpose of electing officers for next year. StoddardOutlines Policy of Prog ress +++ +++ Greater Oregon Is Aim of Administration By T. NEIL TAYLOR To promote a real spirit of c<v operation between every school, or ganization, anit group on the cam pus will be the basis of my policy in student body government for next year. Tom Stoddard, president elect of the associated students of the University of Oregon, declared yesterday. “I sincerely appreciate,” Stod dard said, “the support given me in the election Wednesday, and will endeavor to fully .justify the confi dence of the associated students of the university Jin my ab.ltjtv to handle the office of president of that organization.” There has been a feeling, Stod dard pointed out, that just before the election affiliated and unaffil iated students were forming parties in oposition to each other. “No such feeling really exists, and no such feeling should exist,” said the president-elect. “We should not be working to divide the strength of the organization, but should all work for a bigger and greater Oregon.” The work of administration dur ing the summer will be concen trated on furthering the program of the Greater Oregon committee in all parts of the state. The work of such a committee is very necessary to the further pro gress of the university, Stoddard be lieves. Its present organization dill not be changed, lie said, but every effort will be made to make this committee show results by increas ing the good will toward, and the enrollment of the University of Oregon. There are many problems for the student body to face next year, Stoddard said, and it will be our policy to handle these as far ns possible in a manner that will be to the mutual advantage of a\l parties concerned. “Each new administration meets with new problems created by the growth of the university and the expanding policies which such a growth requires. Every effort will be made to meet progress with pro gress, all aiming to the ultimate goal of a greater University of Ore gon,” said the president elect. Symphonic Band Presents Program To Audience Here Belgians Well Received Under Direction of Captain Prevost Good Will Tour Sponsored By King of Belgium * Captain Arthur Provost and his Symphonic Band of the Royal Bel gian Guards, certainly earned the insistent and enthusiastic applause given them last night at McArthur Court. They treated us to a new type of band music, like none we have ever heard before, and we certainly liked it. “Better than Sousa’’ even, many said. And they are not only a band of great music ians but a band of heroes as well, each of these having fought and distinguished himself in the World war. This tour that they are mak ing is very rightfully named a “good-will tour,” too, for they are making strong friends everywhere they go, even though only two of their whole number speak English. Captain Prevost directed the Wil liam T^li overture without a score. The captain has a dignity and quiet ness of mariner even in his direct ing that attracts the audience in variably to his personality as well ns to his remarkable music. After the first three selections, the captain was not allowed to leave the stage until he had consented to give an encore, and the encore was n most unusual number called “Jazz Music” by Marcel Poot. Its odd harmonies and weird rhythms not only delighted the hearers, but the band itself sehmed to get a deal of fun out of playing it. The Tann hauser overture of Wagner was the favorite of the program and was rendered in the mighty majesty of Wagner’s style, thrilling everyone in the audience with the remarkable symphonic effects it gained. Then as a climax the band played a group (Continued on Pape Two) Bulletin Tlie University of Oregon base ball team will meet the Univer sity of Idaho nine here this af ternoon at 3:30 o’clock. A sec ond game will be played Satur day afternoon. Junior Vodvil Acclaimed As Best One Ever Hunt and Hendricks Are Enthusiastic Over Dress Rehearsal Choruses Full of , True Zi"field Pep Tickets for Saturday Night Sold Out; Matinee Seats Gohig By WILFRED BROWN “It’s going to bo the best show that ever liit Eugene,” said Paul Hunt, chairman of the Junior Vod vil. “Correct,” said Roone Hendricks, general director and co-author of “Oh Dear,” in keeping one eye o n t h e p o n v chorus on the stage. And the repor ter that witnessed the dress reshears al at the lleilig theater last night agreed. it was good last Paul Hunt night, this musical satire on college life, written and produced by students in the univer sity. With pep and enthusiasm that would have warmed the heart of Flo Zigfield, the choruses broke out with “Here wo are gang, with a big bang—” at the S. P. railway station in the opening scene of the show, and this enthusiasm /never vv a n e d in the slightest until in the final scene, after the affairs or the its a aing characters had be- B. Hendricks come badly snarled and then stright ened out again and the blonde Mary Frances, Betty Barnes, had Jack’s, Kermit Stevens’, frat pin safely anchored. A hard-boiled librarian in the per* son of Mary Lou Dutton threatened the ejection of some noisy poker players in the reading room of the library, and was herself dumfounded when one student called for Taussig. The diminutive Herb, in the per son of Jack Jones, because of the obtuseness of his gigantic co-plot ter, Homer Dickson, became hyster ical, was nonchalently picked up by the big fellow, and was carried off the stage under his arm, as a bundle of papers. A vampire show girl from a tra veling company, Madge Normile, al most caught the naive Jack in her meshes, and incidently contributed to the show some of her inimitable singing and dancing. Billy Siegfried, taking the part of Bob, brother of Mary Frances, ex plained some difficulties occasioned by the installation of a tin roof at the Oregon Agriculture college. And so it went all the way through. One hit, one laugh, one “hot” dance or song, after another, until one could not but agree with Hunt that it was the best show which had ev >r hit Eugene. “Oh Dear” opens tonight at 8 o’clock. The ticket sales campaign which has been conducted for the past week has resulted in a com plete sell-out for Saturday night and in the sale of the larger portion of the tickets for tonight. There are still plenty of good seats for the matinee performance tomorrow afternoon, but these are going fast, according to Tony Peterson, who is directing the campaign. A number of the stars in the show perform before tin* Eugene high school stu dent bodies this afternoon, and it is expected that a large number of the prep students will attend the matinee. Pauline Guthrie Will Present Music Recital Pauline Guthrie, mJnior in the school of music, will present her senior vocal recital at the Music Auditorium, Wednesday, May 9 at 8.

She is a member of Mu Phi Epsi | lor, women’s national music lion orarv, and is the possesser of the scholarship cup offered by that or ganization. She is affiliated wit! Phi Mu sorority.
