Holaday Lauds Cause
“The magazine deserves the sup
V port of every student on the cam
pus,” Holaday said last night. “The
cost has been kept to the minimum,
and it is our belief that the material

class of literary production on the
campus. The widest possible rang!
of material has been selected foi
the first issue with the aim of ap
pealing to the tastes of all classes
of readers among the students.”

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

Man’s Garden,” by Kennedy '{{us

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

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.

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

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.
