Need Aid of Class
“We haven’t asked the class as
a whole for any help so far,’’ he
said. “The committeemen have
done all the preparatory work.
But now is the time for the whole
class to pitch in and help. The
sophomores must remember that
thi3 is their dance, and the suc
cess of it depends entirely upon
the way they turn out to the Igloo
to work.’’
Max Williams, chairman of the
decorations committee, states that
women should turn out in as large
numbers as the men. “There is a
great deal of sewing to do,” he de
clared, “and we gotta’ have gals
to do it for us.”

Title of Emerald
Women’s Column
Shopping Announcements
Will Be Published
Every Friday
350 Suggestions Turned in
By 50 Persons
The shopping column contest
that has been running for the last
two weeks ended last Saturday
with Gladys Bentley, freshman ed
ucation major, as winner. “Sez
Sue,” was the name chosen by the
committee of judges coposed of
Betty Hagen, Harriette Hofmann,
and Ina Tremblay.
Three hundred fifty suggestions
were turned in by 50 contestants.
A five dollar merchandise bond as
prize for the winning name was
offered by McMorran & WaSh
burne.
‘‘Sez Sue” will be a weekly fea
ture of the Emerald. This column
sponsored by Betty Hagan will be
in the Emerald every Friday and
will contain announcements by the |
leading merchants of Eugene. Up
until three years ago, there was a
shopping column, but due to the
lack of a manager, it was discon
tinued.
"Sez Sue,” a column given over
to the interest of women shoppers,
is something that the Emerald has
needed and should be appreciated
by everyone, Betty Hagan said.

Student Recital Exceptionally Free
From Rough Spots; Program Praised
By GEORGE BARRON
A very creditable performance
was given last evening by student
groups of the school of music. The
few rough spot3, which, however,
were far les3 frequent than in the
usual student recital, were com
pletely overshadowed by the nice
ty of performance of the program
taken as a whole.
Each group of numbers was in
teresting in its variety. The first
group, played by quartet number
one, was composed of: Allegro—
Haydn, featured by its delicacy of
tone and clear-cut phrasing: Drink
to Me Only With Thine Eyes—ar
ranged by Pochon, a beautiful old
English tunc arranged in a most
pleasing manner; and Tango—Al
beniz, a lilting Spanish dance tune.
The second group, played by
quartet number two, was made up
of: Menuetto—Bach, a lighter
work of that great master; Alleg
ro Grazicao—Gretry. a melodious
little number of crystalline beau
ty; and Molto Lento—Rubenstein,
an ethereal composition of rich
melody played by muted strings.
The third group was Norwegian
melodies—Grieg, played by an
augmented ensemble of twenty
four strings. This was perhaps
the most interesting number of
the program. The intermingling
of Grieg’s wierd melodies, the in
teresting voice leadings, and un
usual harmonies and the character
of the work itself made the thing
, fascinating. It was, without
doubt, Grieg in one of his lighter
■ moods.
The quartets were composed of
the following students:
Quartet No. 1—Juanita Oskins,
violin; Esther Wicks, violin; Clar
S ence Veal, viola; Roberta Spicer,
■ ’cello.
Quartet No. 2—Josephine How
ard, violin; Mabel Kullander, vio
lin; Martha Patterson, viola; Mir
| iam Stafford, 'cello.

Concrete Work
Progresses on
Art Memorial
Constructors To Complete
Labors by Spring,
Says Onthank
The concrete for the founda
tions, first floor, and walls up to
the level of the second floor of the
Pine Arts building has been pour
5d, and the forms for the second
floor are being put up this week,
iccording to information given
Dut by Karl W. Onthank, execu
tive secretary of the university.
The work on the structure is
progressing very satisfactorily,
ind the building will probably be
finished sometime this spring, if
present plans materialize.
Mr. Onthank stated that since
it is not a rush job, the administra
tion is giving the contractors plen
ty of time to do it well. Although
there was some delay in the plans
ivhen considerable rock was found
in excavating for the basement,
:onstruction should go on smooth
ly now, he said.
In addition to building the forms
Cor the pouring of the second
floor, forms are also being made
for the stairways, which will be
Df concrete with a marble margin.
Mr. Onthank expressed the opin
ion that the stairway would be an
exceptionally fine feature of the
building.
The basement extends only un
der the museum part of the build
ing, while the Campbell memorial
court will be built on ground
foundation.

In Great Uphill
Fight, Ties Moe
Oregon Man Takes Early
Lead, but ‘Haig’
Stymies Him
Country Club Links Scene
Of Close Match
That masterful golf artist,
"Sir” Walter Hagen, fought and
wise cracked an uphill eighteen
hole struggle against Oregon’s
Don Moe, to a tie over the fair
ways of the Eugene Country club
yesterday. After a brand of exhi
bition golf that fairly drew the
breaths from a few hundred spec
tators, there arose a great cheer,
among sighs, indicating an un
usually thrilling afternoon.
Don Moe, who is the present
Western amateur champion, and
who has enough championship
notches in his putter to make
counting difficult, obtained a two
up lead over the king of the links,
out of the first three holes. He
fought the “Haig” even for the
next five holes and then collected
another one at number ten.. With
a three-hole lead going jto the
eleventh green, Moe looked like a
certain victor over the veteran.
Eleventh Hole Hoodoo
The eleventh hole, however,
proved to be the Waterloo of Don,
as he encountered a called stymie
cutting his lead to two. Hagen
took the next, Moe's ball kicking
into the rough. The thirteenth
found Moe with another impossible
stymie, but it was so perfectly
executed that it came within a
fraction of an inch of dropping.
This evened the match and the
remaining holes were played with
all the skill the two champions
possessed, neither being able to
conquer the other. Moe displayed
the more beautiful shots of the
two, but encountered all the tough
breaks.
Stock Goes Up
The Oregon golf wizard is
classed as one of America’s great
est amateurs and by his feat yes
terday, removes all doubt.
The scores:
Moe in 44444534 4—30.
| Hagen in 54544534 4—38.
Par in 43544534 5—37.
Moe out 45553533 4—37;

Hagen out 54444433 4—35;

Stoddard Praises ‘Chuck’
As ‘Hard W'orker’
Charles "Chuck” Reed, Oregon
yell-king, yesterday handed in hi3
resignation from that position to
Tom Stoddard,
student body
president.
The move came
as a surprise to'
the campus and
is explained in
the body of the
resignation,!
which follows: |
Thomas S t o d - \
dard, s

Pres. Assoc. Stu
r, RppiI
"I wish at this time to hand to
you my resignation from the posi
tion of yell king of the University
of Oregon.
"As explanation for my decision
to resign from this service to the
Associated Students, may I ex
plain my position. When student
elections were held last year I
was asked to run for the office of
yell leader. Having practically
no previous experience along this
line, X hesitated in accepting it.
However, I reconsidered later and
went ahead with the hope that I
had the potentialities for this po
sition.
Sees Weakness
“I have now enjoyed eight
weeks of active service as the yell
leader of the Associated Students.
From that past service to this
body I have reached one import
ant decision: That I find that I
have not those hoped-for poten
tialities of a yell king which the
students expected of me at my
election. For this reason, and
this alone, I believe it fair to all
concerned that I resigned and
make room for one who has those
capabilities.
"Our Homecoming game with
O. S. C. will be an event at which
the students can really demon
strate their "Oregon fight” and
“Oregon Spirit.” For this game,
my hope is that you will give my
successor the heartiest of support.
"My sincere wishes are for a
"howling mad” rooters’ section for
the Homecoming game.”
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) Charles Reed. ”

Albania Lotus Land of Plenty and
Beauty, Declares Student Booster
“Albania Is one of the most
beautiful countries in the world
and one of the smallest,” Alexan
der Elbasani declared when dis
cussing the land where his parents
still live. The picturesque little
towns, the rolling slopes covered
with great olive groves, and the
lofty snow-capped Alps making up
the background of the picture are
all very enchanting, thinks Elba
sani. “In fact,” he says, “I once
saw an American woman weep
bitterly when the time came for
her to leave Albania. The simple
hospitality of the people, and the
beauty of the region just make a
person feel that way.”
The country still bears, outside
of the main cities at least, the
characteristics which make it so
interesting in history as ancient
Ellyria, Elbasani will tell one rem
iniscently. Albania is only 12,000
square miles in size, but it bor
ders the Adriatic sea, and has re
sources enough to maintain it as
one of the nations of the world.
Elbasani, who is a special stu
dent in the university, hopes to
acquire his degree in the geology
department this spring. He re
ceived his college preparation at
Groton, Mass., and has attended
the University of Des Moines, and
the University of Utah. He be
came connected with a Canadian
exploration concern three years
ago, and has lived in Oregon ever
since, having been stationed at the
Cornucopia mines in Eastern Ore
gon, where he does engineering
' and surveying work.
He has been offered a position
as mine inspector in Albania,
which has recently begun to de
velop its mineral resources. The
