Starting on Janu ary 21, Tuesday, the Emerald-KORE radio program contest will be in full swing. All living organizations can enter—whether it be a tenor soloist, quartets singing Oregon songs, jazz orchestras, little symphonies, or comic skits. Prizes worth while are being arranged. Wide pub licity in the Emerald and in local papers as well as the coast-wide radio field will be in store for each organization which enters to put on a pro gram. The comic, dramatic, and musical talent of the campus will have a chance. Radio programs spon sored by the Emerald and KORE are a good outlet for the excellent talent which has shown itself in past years at the Junior Vodvil. It is a chance for individual accomplishment as well as exploitation of the talent in the houses and dormitories. Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 8 o'clock in the evening the Emerald radio programs will be put on the air. On account of the many entries, the contest will run long into the term. Select your house jazz orchestra, tune up your blues singers or operatic tenors, and tune in on the Emerald radio hour. Our High School Guests NINE YEARS ago: One hundred and fifty high school guests editors of newspapers and an nuals, student body presidents and secretaries — gathered at the Y hut. to hear J. A. Churchill, state superintendent of schools, open the first inclusive state high school conference on the campus with a talk on high school athletics. TODAY: Pour hundred high school students and faculty members will attend the tenth annual con ference. In addition to editors, presidents and sec retaries, this year's conclave includes Girls’ league, presidents, managers of publications, high school principals, and high school deans of women. Each year the conference has grown both in number and in the program prepared for the visi tors. Each year new features were added to the entertainment angle and to the instructional. The University welcomes the high school dele gates and advisors. It is putting itself on display before students of secondary school level, for their approval or disapproval. While it is providing in structive lectures and round table discussions for the exchange of ideas, it is also giving the young men and women a look at college. “College night,” banquets, and basketball games are the official University entertainment, but the place where the greatest influence is exerted is in the fraternities and sororities where these guests are housed. Thus it is essential that a correct picture of college life be given these high school men and women. The inclination is to put on "shows” for their benefit and past years have seen amusing but undesirable "murders,” "fires,” and "robberies.” However, the trend has been away front such activ ities. They fall in the category of “hell week initi ations” and “hazing" and rightfully should suffer the fate of those two institutions which unfairly victimize invited guests. Oregon’s Auditorium RTHUU BOARDMAN, head of the voice de partment of the University school of music, and famed throughout the country as a singer of Wagnerian operas, mounted the plank stage at McArthur court Tuesday night and sent his rich tenor notes forth into an atmosphere markedly re sembling the loft of a Corvallis dairy barn. Several hundred faculty members and townspeople who had paid the price of reserve admission sat on folding chairs on the main floor and strained their ears. Several hundred students sat on the bleach ers along the wall and tried to appear comfortable. Such is the quality of Oregon's most adequate auditorium to which are taken the distinguished artists who occasionally come to the campus as part of the concert series sponsored by the A. S. U. O. It is needless to say that McArthur court was not constructed with the principles of acous tics in mind, and the long strips of burlap sus pended from the high-up girders only partially aid in tempering the resonance. Ordinarily the visiting artists bear the inconvenience without complaint, although there is a story of a distinguished orches tra conductor who spent the intermissions pacing ! the east hallway of the court, tearing his hair and commenting that each note going forth was met half way by the preceding one coming back. Even less marked than its advantages as a musical auditorium are its advantages as a theater. 1 Few will forget the production of "If I Were King,” the 1929 senior play, which was presented at Me-: Arthur court last June. The audience strove gamely to distinguish individual words, but the majority eventually concluded that the performance was in French and drifted away following the first act. The situation at McArthur court Tuesday night points once more to one of the most pressing needs of the University of Oregon campus, an auditorium with an adequate seating capacity. At present the music auditorium is the only one that is at all what an auditorium should be, but it is too small to hold the audience at any function of more im portance than Sunday afternoon Vespers. What is needed is a building of beauty and dignity and of sufficient size to make unnecessary the relegating of such events as commencements, concerts, and presidential inaugurations to structures intended primarily for athletic competition. Why Students Get Gray TJErtR are some of the reasons: -*• The professor who assigns three outside readings, two outlines and throws in background reading for the next day’s assignment., thinking his is the only class we are taking. The lady pro fessor with the weak voice. The professor who is a “crank” in his field and tries to make us “swal low” his radical ideas. The prof who has that annoying habit of inspecting the scenery outside the window while he is lecturing. The pedagog who assigns a class of fifty to read a passage in a book, of which the library has only one copy. The' professor who “plays” to the women in the class. The one who thinks co-eds are not needed in his course. The comma hound who knows that one swallow does not make a summer, but believes that one mistake should merit a flunk. The pro fessor who thinks none but his ideas are correct. Four years of class lectures and assignments have aroused in us a sympathy for the students taking courses from professors like these. No wonder they get gray hairs. Twice as many men students as women have heart trouble, according to reports from the Uni versity of Kansas hospital. Which settles thg argu ment about which falls in love easier. “Soils Man at Conference” headline in O. A. C. Barometer. One of those mud-slinging sessions for which fraternities are noted, no doubt. What American education needs is a seat of learning like Cambridge, says a Princeton profes sor. It has -the College of Hard Knocks. This is the week-end that fraternity freshmen rejoice. They get to sleep together on these cold nights. One way of getting unlimited cuts in college is to attend a radio university. Don't forget and go to your 9 o'clocks today. There aren't any.

"Life wasn't altogether com fortable then,” said the visitor, "but the excitement compensated for the risk. In these struggles three election judges were killed, ballot boxes stolen, rioting was an everyday occurence, and one night an entire building was blown up. Settlement of the mining troubles came through legal procedure and combinations of the companies.” Since then it has been indus trially peaceful, except for a later friction among the union which caused the burning of the union’s building and threatened the news paper men with extreme penalty if they printed anything about it. A gang of the leaders came to the Anaconda Standard office and demanded of Stone, who was on the desk at this time, to see what he had on the rioting. He showed it to them and the leader replied: “If you print that we'll string you up to that chandelier.” He pointed to the ceiling and then they stalked out. Stone had the story printed anyway. He was silent for quite a while, smoking, meditating, perfectly at home at Dean Allen’s big desk. I noticed his tie. It was a black silk Windsor tie, with flowing strings, slightly askew; it seemed to go with his round, weathered face, remarkably calm, kindly. In speaking of the differences of reporting of then and as it is now, Dean Stone said that there was no friendliness among the men on rival papers as is shown now. A man would not be seen talking to the other side, then, he would sooner have been seen with a hold-up man. Dean Stone rose. Dean Allen had arrived to escort him through the University of Oregon press, and the ideas which he gained from it. he hopes to incorporate in a press for the University of Montana. “My father was a great West ern politician in his day.” "What did he run for?” “The border.”—Selected. kVT7J WE RENT ’EM U DRIVE ’EM New Cars Lowest Kates GATES AUTO RENTAL 59 \Y. 5th St, I’hone 942 Hospitality of South Striking To Dean of Law Carpenter Tells of Events Of Trip to New Orleans For Convention Dean Charles E. Carpenter of the law school returned Tuesday from New Orleans, Louisiana, where he attended the national convention of the Association of American Law Schools. Between three and four hundred delegates were In attendance, according to Dean Carpenter, representing all the better law schools of the Unit ed States and Canada. The most marked feature of the trip was the hospitality of the New Orleans bar, says Dean Carpen ter. The deans were entertained at a banquet in a restaurant which has the reputation of serving the most artistically prepared meals that are served anywhere, by the members of the New Orleans bar. Another banquet for the delegates was given, at the Louisianne, and trips to the French quarter of New Orleans were arranged for their entertainment. Dean Car penter, as well as several others, was taken up in an airplane to view the city. New Orleans is noticeably wet. according to Dean Carpenter, and the generosity of the southerners is unlimited. The paper which Dean Carpen ter read before his section of the convention was “Responsibility for Intentional, Negligent and Inno cent Misrepresentation,’’ which was discussed by the dean of the law school of the University of Washington at St. Louis, and one of the greatest authorities in the United States on torts.

For the Clever Room Touches Perhaps a cocky-looking bit of pottery, a colorful print, a striking etching, either framed or unframed; or a good-lock ing wall-hanging will be just the thing for the campus room of the average type—but, too, it must be of that individual kind that the Alladin Gift Shop. 41 West Tenth, has for the particular selection. Said the Varsity Parrot in a re cent interview, “I find that al most every store in Eugene has some very special clear ance sales on their regular stocks. So, I woidd advise the co-ed to invest in some of these bargains.” And then, he told me some of the following finds. The Brogues Of Brogues May be found at Buster Brown’s sale this week . . . for very little it is possible to buy that extra pair of shoes that has been wanted so long. All types of the smartest kind of shoes are in these clearance specials and the smart girl is going to purchase a pair.

Kafoury's Depart ment Store, 61 East Broadway, is offering double cotton blan kets for $2.39, blankets which were $3 a pair.

Oh, For a Sweater This Wintry Term Is the cry of many a co-ed as she shivers into her clothes for that early 8 o’clock class—but of course she wants a smart looking as well as a warm sweater. At the U of O Ko-Ed Shop next to the College Side Inn there is a line of Jerry J Sweaters that are pippins, in different colors and weaves. Also there is a special on hats.
