Eldress Judd
this work, wheth
er she has had
any experience or spent any time
at the bungalow or' not, is urged
to try out, according to Miss
Judd. Appointments for these in- j
terviews of about half an hour
must be made immediately, as
each person will be scheduled for
three such talks.
During the time spent with Miss
Thomas, such questions as “What
would you like to do in Y. W. ?”
and “How would you do it?” ^will
be discussed so that the leader
can get some idea of the candi
date’s abilities.
Both Miss Thomas and Miss
Judd stressed the point that the
Y. W. cabinet will be made up
only of those persons who partici
pate in these interviews. All of
fices are thus appointed, except
the executive positions of presi
dent, vice-president, secretary, and
treasurer, although they, too, are
suggested in the same way and
merely left to the vote of the stu
dents.
"This method of selecting the
Y. W. cabinet gives the girl the
opportunity of asking anything
she wants to know about Y. W.,”
Miss Judd explained, “and gives
us the opportunity to know her j
particular interests and what she
is best fitted to do.”
DICK HORN HURT

The name of Dick Horn, vice
president of the Associated stu

two ribs.
The vice-president has not been
confined to bed, and with the aid
of several yards of adhesive plas
ter is able to attend classes and
student-body committee meetings.

the Heilig. Now it would be bad
to be loved by either of these la

what man could stand it?
Some women are pretty, some
are chic, but Dolores Costello is
really beautiful. In “The Glad

Program World Innovation,
Says Majestic Representative
L. E. Uarson Declares 'Competition Is Means of
Uncovering: Hidden Talent; Mew Feature
May Be Discovered by Student
CHARACTERIZING the Emerald'KORE radio contest as a com
plete innovation in radio entertainment, L. E. Larsen, field rep
resentative for the Majestic distributing company, who was in Eugene
Saturday, expressed keen interest and approval in the idea. The
contest enters its second week tonight with programs presented by
Gamma Phi Beta, and Tri-Delt.
“You members of the Emerald staff,” said Mr. Larsen, “are cer
tainly entitled to congratulations on your novel and original idea in
sponsoring the radio program contest. To my knowledge nothing
exactly like it has ever been attempted before.”
Plans Distribution
Mr. Larsen was in Eugene for
the purpose of arranging for the
local distribution of the new
“Model 93” Majestic cabinet ra
dios, one of which has been do
nated by the radio department of
McMorran and Washburne as the
grand prize for the contest.
Larsen was enthusiastic over
the contest as a means of reveal
ing unsuspected talent on the
campus.
Ideus Untried
There are still hundreds of un
tried and unthought-of ideas that
must yet have their debut on the
air. Who knows but that some
clever Oregon young man or wom
an may take a place in radio his
tory as the originator of an inter
nationally popular program idea ?
School Contest Sponsored
“Grigsby Grunow company,
manufacturers of Majestic radio,
will release next month over the
Columbia Broadcasting system the
first of their programs sponsored
for schools only. These shall be
called the American School of the
Air. Historical drama, educa
tional subjects, etc., will be inter
estingly offered, bringing to the
schools a type of class work or
lecture such as we have never
before even dreamed of.
“Referring again to your pro
grams, I regret that it has not
been possible for me to hear them.
However, I shall look forward to
listening in on them in the fu
ture.”

ners” is one of them.
"His First Command,” at the

one needing a few hints on mas

over that one.
