TONIGHT'S CONTESTANT
Alpha Xi Delta
Beginning at 8 P. M.
Gamma Phi Beta's “Harmonies
of 1929-30’’ and Tri-Delt’s “Hay
Hay Idea” were broadcast last
night in a radio duel which dis
played the talent and originality
4 of the two sororities who competed
for the cabinet model Majestic ra
dio offered by McMorran and
Washburne as grand prize in the
Emerald-KORE campus radio con
test.
Only one house, Alpha Xi Delta,
will be represented on tonight’s
program, as a result of the last
minute withdrawal of Alpha Delta
Pi, it was announced last night
by Fred Norton, contest director.
The decision to withdraw came as
the result of a misunderstanding
as to the date of the broadcast, it
was explained.
“Emerald Idea” Planned
The Alpha Xi Delta program, a
sketch called the "Oregon Emer
ald Idea,” will begin tonight at 8
o’clock, and will continue for half
an hour. Jean Williams planned
the program, and is teamed with
Billie Gardiner as announcer.
The programs given last night,
although organized along widely
^ different lines, were alike in the
excellent quality of entertainment
offered.
A well-arranged revue featur
ing modern and jazz numbers was
the “Harmonies of 1929,” present
ed by Gamma Phi Beta, under the
direction of Maxine Ghiver. The
program follows:
Vocal trio—Sally Holloway, Mar
jorie Douglas, Maxine Glover, “If
I Can’t Have You.”
Cello solo—Miriam Stafford—
“You’re Always in My Arms,” vo
cal refrain by Helen Fenstermach
er and Maxine Glover.
Vocal solo—Marjorie Douglas,
“What Wouldn’t I Do for That
Man?”
Piano solo—Maxine Glover, “Ti

Trio—Marjorie Douglas, Sally
Holloway, and Maxine Glover,
“Chant of the Jungle.”
Duet—Sally Holloway and Mar

Piano solo—Maxine Glover, “If
I Had a Talking Picture of You.”
Vocal solo—Maxine Glover, “I
Don’t Want Your Kisses if I Can’t
Have Your Love.”

The Tri-Delt “Hay-Hay Idea,”
which carried out a rural atmos

Lack of Undies
Causes Dislike
Of Icy Weather
Four reasons Why Oregonians
don’t like this kind of weather,
according to Walter O. Barnes,
professor of history, are as fol
lows :
1. The real estate men have
taught them to praise rainy
winters.
2. Some of the houses and
furnaces are inadequate.
3. Most Oregonians do not
own any suits of heavy under
wear.
4. And they are too conserv
ative to wear them if they did.

Conference g ill
Be Planii °
Miss Seeber, Miss Wygal
Will Arrive Soon
The Y. W. C. A. will entertain
two nationally famous visitors this
week-end. Marcia Seeber, na
tional student secretary for the
Seabeck division of the Y. W.,
which includes Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho, and Montana, will ar
rive Friday night to head the com
mittee in charge of the plans for
the Spring Cabinet Training con
ference. Winifred Wygal, nation
al executive secretary of the stu
dent movement, will arrive on the
campus Sunday to confer with the
girls who have scheduled inter
views with Dorothy Thomas, head
of the local Y. W. work, for next
year’s oabinet.
The Spring Cabinet Training
conference will be composed of the
members of the next year’s Y. W.
cabinet, together with delegates
from other states. The time and
place of the meeting have not, as
yet, been decided, but will be set
tled at the coming meeting this
Saturday. Mrs. Florence Parker,
Y. W. secretary from O. S. C.,
will also be here for the confer
ence and student representatives
from Oregon State, Willamette,
i and Monmouth will make up the
committee, with about five mem
bers from Oregon who have not
been selected yet. Miss Seeber’s
headquarters are in Tacoma, but
she is planning to remain on the
campus through the visit of Wini
fred Wygal.
At a meeting of the present cab
inet members and aspirants for
positions Sunday from 2:30 until
6 in the bungalow, Miss Wygal
will explain and talk about the
“meaning of Y. W. C. A..” “There
are really three steps in the selec
tion of next year’s cabinet,” said
Dorothy Thomas. “The girl must
first come to see Miss Wygal on
Sunday; then she must schedule
three interviews with me; and fi
nally, we select from among them,
the girls who will form next
year’s cabinet, and who will at
tend the Spring Cabinet Training
conference.”
These interviews may be slated
all this week, and all girls are
urged to try out.
Boon Offered Sleepy Studes
********
Painless Education Offered by Oregon
The easiest way of education in
the world is now available right
here on the campus! No more
grubbing through inexhaustible
outside reading books. No more
long evenings over in Condon. No
more frenzied burning of the mid
night and morning electricity.
All one has to do now, in this
progressive age, is to sit comfort
ably sprawled in a roomy, easy
chair in a pleasant semi-darkness
and let knowledge on any desired
subject seep in.
Excited cries arise from all sec
tions of the campus. “How?
How?” The answer is simple. It
is Visual Education.
~^Hy merely sitting in comfort
and looking at interesting slides,
one can obtain a thorough educa
tion in geography, history, art, lit
erature, nature study, religion,
science, health, civics, music, geol
ogy, microscopic works, industrj
—in fact in any field which any
one might wish to study.
All this is provided by the Vis
ual Instruction Service conducted
by the University Extension Divi
sion, which, although consistently
active, is unknown and unsuspect
ed by the majority of campus stu
dents. ,
It isn’t talkie yet—maybe that’s
I why it officiates so quietly. But
! what it does is to rent film and
glass stereopticon slides to schools,
| churches, clubs, hospitals, and san
| atoriums all over Oregon, Wash
ington, California, Idaho, and even
as far as Butte, Montana, and
| Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
This department was begun in
the spring of 1928. Since then,
j there has been an increase of 296
' per cent; 145 film |slides were
shown to 16,852 people in ’28, and
in ’29, 66,798 viewed 723 film

Unaffiliated Members Plan
To Organize; Hold
Meeting Tonight
A varied program of activities
which will include a sophomore
class banquet with a St. Valen
tine’s day motif, February 14; a
sophomore “Hot Dog" day, and an
all-campus afternoon dance some
time later this term; and a huge,
old-fashioned Kampus Karnival to
be given at McArthur court dur
ing spring term are being tenta
tively arranged for the class of
1932 by Jack Stipe, sophomore
president, and a committee which
is headed by Bob Van Nice, Jack
Edelfson and Marian Camp.
Stipe Explains
In speaking of this program,
Stipe said: "It is our hope to carry
out these activities so that they
will become annual events for
each succeeding sophomore class.
Up to this time, especially since
the abolishment of the Frosh Pa
rade, the only activity left to the
sophomore class to accomplish has
been the Sophomore Informal dur
ing the fall term. After this event
it has been the custom of the sec
ond year class in the past to stag
nate and ‘die on its feet’ from
lack of things to do. We believe
that if these proposed activities
are made into annual events, such
as the Junior Vodvil and the Frosh
Bonfire, that this defect will be
remedied.
"The proceeds of these proposed
events,” continued Stipe, "will be
presented by the class, upon Its
graduation, in the form of a class
gift to the University to be used
for the furnishing of a new room
for the infirmary or for any other
improvements which might be
needed by that place.”
Get-Together Planned
The class banquet, which will be
held at the new men’s dormitory
at 5:45, February 14, will be in
the form of a big get-together
party, according to Jack Edelfson,
joint chairman of the event. Ac
commodations are to be made for
about 500 people and tickets will
probably be about 50 cents apiece.
“This is the first time this year
that the class has had a chance
to be together and we promise an
interesting time,” said Edelfson.
“The features have not been de
cided upon as yet, but, among
other things, it is planned to have
a four-piece band. The decora
tions are to be in keeping with
St. Valentine’s day."
The committee which is work
ing on this banquet is as follows:
Tickets, Walter Evans; features,
Jack Edelfson; decorations, Mary
Gray, Frances Humphrey, and
Dolly Homer; music, Bob Van
Nice.
to vena uogs
In regard to the proposed soph
omore ‘‘Hot Dog” day, when mem
bers of the class will vend tasty
hot dogs to the epicurian palates
of the remainder of the campus,
Stipe announced that no definite
date had yet been set nor a com
mittee chosen. This, he announced,
will be done in the near future.
It is planned to make the Kam
pus Karnival, which is to be held
sometime spring term, a realistic
affair. There are to be fortune
tellers, raffles, side shows, hot dog
stands, and all the other trim
mings which go to make up an
actual carnival.
Further plans for these events
will be worked out at a general
sophomore class meeting which
will be held at Villard hall at 7
Thursday evening.
Teague to Be Leader
The members of the class who
live in Eugene or who are not af
filiated with any living groups,
either in the fraternities or soror
ities or in the halls, have been
organized under the leadership ot
Carlos Teague and will hold a
meeting tonight. They will dis
cuss ways in which they can best
benefit from their class affiliation

Organist Is Commended
Lynwood Farnam Pleases Audience at Auditorium
By GEORGE BARRON
Lynwood Farnam gave a most
artistic organ recital last evening
at the school of music. His mas
tery of the instrument and his
pleasing manner won the audience
from the start. Mr. Farnam is a
musician of the highest type. It
is to be regretted that more stu
dents did not avail themselves of
the opportunity to attend a con
cert of such a calibre.
The program opened with two
delightful “Sketches” by Robert
Schumann. These were full of
sparkling melody and rhythm.
Next came "Dorian Prelude on
Dies Irae,” Rruce Simonds, a most
interesting composition harsh, in
places, to our ears because of its
being based on the old medieval
Dorian scale. In pleasing contrast
there followed Reverie on the
hymn-tune “University,” Harvey
Grace, a subdued simple melody
with rich harmonies.
The next two numbers, “Allegro
from Fifth Trio-Sonata” and the
“Prelude and Fugue in G minor,”
Bach, comprised the high point of
the recital. The independent voices
were brought out very clearly and
were exceedingly well differenti
ated in tone color. Here also, Mr.
Farnam showed his facile tech
nique in pedalling.
Then came “Carillon,” De La
marter, a most effective piece em
ploying the chimes, the essence of
the chimes being strongly evident
throughout although they were
played in only part of it. The
Finale from “Symphoiiie Goth
ique,” Widor, a plain song melody
in free variation form, was inter
esting. The next composition,
“The Mirrored Moon,” by Karg
Elert, the modern German com
poser, was full of impressionism
and strange sounding harmonies.
“Vintage” from “Les Heures bour
guignonnes,” Jacob, was very me
lodious and full of life. It was
played with an abandon that much
enhanced its effectiveness. The
closing number of the program,
“Carillon-Sortie in D,” Mulet, was
a joyful, melodious composition
suggestive of the clashing of many
bells.
Mr. Farnam graciously respond
ed to two encores, offering “Rev
erie,” Bonnet, and "Fugue in G
minor,” Bach.

Hal Kelly, Chairman
FROSH WILL PLAY ALSO
To Collect Senior Women
In Busses; Prizes
To Be Given
The seniors and the freshmen
will attend free class dances Fri
day night, and the sophomores and
juniors will be privileged to go to
the library and study.
Eleanor Poorman, president 6f
the senior class has announced the
selection of Harold Kelley as chair
man of the senior “kid party’’
which is to be held at the Campa
Shoppe. Negotiations are now on
to secure the services of the Var
sity Vagabonds for music.
The freshman party will be held
at Gerllnger hall from 9 till 12.
Class president, Larry Bay, has
appointed Harvey Welch to take
general charge. George Webber’s
orchestra will play.
Kid Clothes in Order
Chartered busses will call at
sororities and halls to pick up
senior women and bring them to
j their dance, Kelley says. Every
I one attending is supposed to wear
j children’s clothes. All day suck
ers will be given to all the digni
fied seniors in attendance, and
prizes will be given to the wearers
of the most effective costumes.
“We hope to avoid any trouble
at this dance regarding those who
are seniors and who are not," Kel
ley said. “It has been suggested
that presentation at the door of
Junior certificates be a require
ment for admission, but we fear
that this move would exclude too
many prominent seniors."
Stipe Makes Statement
Sophomores have only them
] selves to blame that they have no
1 dance to go to Friday night, Presi
dent Jack Stipe stated. 'At our
last meeting of the fall term, the
class voted not to have a class
dance,” he explained, “and that is
all there is to it.”
The juniors originally planned
to have a dance in conjunction
with the seniors, but when the
seniors decided to make their
dance exclusive, the juniors
dropped their plans, according to
Bill Whitely, class president.

Mortar Board Challenges Presidents
The farce basketball game to
be played between Heads of
Houses and Mortar Board Satur
day at 2 o’clock in the woman’s
gym is an assured thing. The
challenge, issued by Mortar Board,
was accepted officially at a meet
ing of the various heads of houses
held yesterday.
Mortar Board has several ex
perienced players among its mem
bership, but will be lacking in
numbers. Margaret Clark, presi

first line-up and is counting on
numerous substitutions.
Dean Esterly, who had planned
to referee, regrets that she will be
out of town the day of the big
game. However, Mrs. Hazel
Schwering, alumna of Mortar
Board and freshman dean of wo
men, will be there, and it is ru

line-up.
The women of the senior honor

the black mortar boards.
Tickets will be available to all
women students on Friday. The
game, which promises to be the
