UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1930 NUMBER 85 Three Entries Presented in One Program Last Week of Broadcasts Of Emerald-KORE Radio Contest Starts PHI PSIS WITHDRAW Girls’ Oregon Club and Independents To Be On Air Tonight The last week of competition in the Emerald-KORE radio contest was opened last night with musi cal presentations by three wom en’s organizations. Susan Camp bell hall started the evening off with an “Insane Asylum” idea, and Kappa Alpha Theta followed with a skit entitled “The Jungle.” Kappa Delta brought the broad casting to a close with the “K. D. Special.” Tonight’s entertainment will be given by the Girls’ Oregon club, under the direction of Anne Brick nell, and a group of independent students. Phi Kappa Psi, which was to have filled out the remain der of the evening’s schedule, has announced its decision to with draw from the race for the Ma jestic radio offered by McMorran and Washburne to the contest winner. Jungle Idea In the Theta’s "Jungle” idea, Marian Camp and Eleanor Lewis played the roles of two colored preachers, "Ebony” and “Char coal,” who go to Africa to con vert the cannibals. Jane West took the part of the cannibal chief, “Bonecrusher,” in this skit, which was directed by Miss Camp. The Kappa Delta girls cast their program in the form of a short musical comedy depicting the de parture of a group of sorority girls from Portland after spring vacation and returning to the cam pus via the "K. D. Special.” It was directed by lone Garbe. A burlesque classic formed the nucleus of the Susan Campbell program, which was presented un der the guidance of Annette Kern. This was the "Taming of the Shrew,” brought up to date by El len Coldwell, Annette Kern, Elsie Burke, Maxine Bertillion, and Mar garet Hunt. Oregon Club Tonight For this evening's entertain ment, the Girls’ Oregon club has prepared an “Anti-Blues” idea, de scribed by Miss Bricknell as a “comedy of quiet hours.” The campus independents will send their program over the air at 8:30. The theme of this pre sentation has been kept a mystery, although they have revealed that the idea is taken from a classical source with which every one is familiar. The program will fea ture selections by the Independ ent male quartet, composed of Herbert Doran, Jon Conder, Ralph Cole, and Louis Long, accompanied by Harry Lamb. Other features will be a group of accordion solos by Dalton Shinn and a negro dia logue by Ralph Cole and Louis Long. Susan Campbell hall’s program is given in detail below: Piano solo—“Melody in G Flat”; Marian Clark.

OHIO TROUBLED, TOO . . . -By OLIVER POLITICUS The general constitutional revis ion committee meets today. It meets to decide, among other things, whether the report of the judiciary sub-committee shall be accepted. It meets to decide whether the judiciary shall be limited in its problems only to those things which the president of the student body considers it is safe for them to decide. In a more general sense, it meets to decide whetjher the tribunal will be a sham which on the surface offers a forum for disputed constitutional in terpretation—or whether the students will be to some extent freed from the rigid procedure determined each year by tra ditional dictates, and enforced by the University. * * * The committee will have to de cide whether a student body pres to Continued on Page Three) Wilson Is INamecl Editor of Emerald All-Men’s Edition Allen To Hold Managing Editor’s Post; Paper To Appear Friday | - i Selioeni and Hall Demoted For a Day Preparations for the men’s Em erald, which will come out Friday morning, have been set under way by the appointment of the editor ial staff. Dave Wilson, sopho more in journalism, will be editor of the paper, while Bob Allen, also a sophomore in journalism, will act as managing editor. Both students are regular members of the Emerald news staff. Art Schoeni and Vinton Hall, ordinarily editor and managing editor, respectively, have been temporarily demoted to the posi tions of day editor and general as signment reporter. Other mem bers of the staff are Warner Guiss, night editor, and Jack Burke, sports editor. All men students in journalism are asked to report to Bob Allen, that they may fill positions on the paper’s staff. A general meeting will be held today at 4 o’clock in 104 journalism building. It is im portant that all members of the staff attend that a good organiza tion be formed. Last Thursday the women stu dents in journalism produced an edition of the Emerald completely written and edited by themselves. The men were siezed by a spirit of competition and announced that they would publish an edition of the paper without the help of the women. The two papers will be judged as to quality and the sex which produces the best sheet will be treated by the losers to a din ner, dance, show, or whatever is chosen by the winners. Freshman Uses Odd Moments ******** Making Models of Famous Airplanes Although some students spend their idle time in dancing or play ing bridge, and others take horse back riding or other forms of sport for the fun of it, Robert B. Johnston, of Eugene, freshman in mathematics, finds the greatest sport is the manufacturing of model airplanes. Among the famous planes which he has modeled on a scale of one inch to two feet is the “St. Louis Robin,” the original of which holds the world's endurance record foi remaining in the air over 42C hours. He also has exact models of the Bach tri-motor, the fastest of its kind in America; the Boeing mail plane which carries the most mail of any plane owned by that company; the Sikorsky amphibian one of the safest planes in use; the Fokker super tri-motor, 12 passenger plane; and the De Hav iland “Moth,” the world's famous light plane. Besides these he also has in his collection one model of an army pursuit plane, two models of navy pursuit planes, one navy bomber, two navy trainers, and many oth ers. He receives the plans for his planes from the manufacturers, from drawings in aero magazines j and books, and from friends. Johnston, who spends two or three hours each day working at his hobby, plans to become an aeronautical engineer. He is now taking courses in mathematics and , science that will prepare him for this work. I Pianissimo Passages Indicate Attainment Reached h' Chorus; Shading Is \ Done By GEORGE B. % >N The Smallman a Cat Choir delighted the large andi. £ vhich attended its concert last ^ t at McArthur court. Mr. S ^ lan obtains tonal effects w. ^ \is chorus that are a revelation © s is especially so in the piani. passages. Subtle nuances, cres dos and then decrescendos which fade to almost nothing and then float away in the air—these indi cate the fine degree of flexibility that the choir has attained. Precision Evidenced The first group, consisting of "Gloria in Excelsis" (Palestrina), "The Birds Praise the Advent of Our Savior” (Schindler), and “Sing Ye to the Lord” (Bach), evidenced the nicety and precision of the various voice parts, a most important thing in this type of composition. As an encore “Ho sanna” (F. Malius Christian) was given. The second group was made up of pleasing folk songs. They were presented with a zest and spon taneity that made them live for the audience. The numbers were: "Fuyons Tous D’Amour Le Jeu” (Lassus), “Irish Tune from Coun ty Derry” (Grainger), "Just as the Tide Was Flowing” (arranged by R. Vaughn Williams), “Wassail Song” (arranged by R. Vaughn Williams). Nice Differentiation The motet “Jesu, Priceless Treasure” (Bach) was the third group. There was a nice differ entiation of the independent voices and a variety of tone color that was most interesting. The next number, “Divendres Sant” (Antoni Nicolau), was very well received, due probably in part to its novelty of being sung part in Catlan, part in Greek, and part in Latin. “Gospodi Pomilui’.’ (Lvovsky) had to be repeated be cause of its hearty reception. The variety of shading from a mere whisper to a fortissimo was ex ceedingly well done. "Listen to the Lambs” (Dett), a negro spir itual, called for an encore, "Water Boy” (Robertson), and this was followed by another encore, “The Volga Boatman.” Friday’s Game To Be Broadcast Wire Service To Be Given On Basketball Series Although the Washington-Ore gon basketball series, which may involve the championship of the northern division of the Pacific Coast conference, will be held in Seattle, the student body and pub lic at large will have an oppor tunity to follow the game as it proceeds, through the medium of the Western Union wires and the public address system in McAr thur court. Through the courtesy of the Eu gene Register, the Associated Stu dents and the Oregon Professional Sports Writers’ association this program, which last year drew a crowd of 500 people, will be held Friday night. A nominal charge of 25 cents admission will be taxed to defray the expense of securing the leased wire service. "Slug” Palmer, who acted in the capacity of basketball announcer for KORE in the recent series held in the Igloo, will handle the micro phone for this event. Zone’s Class Gives Tea for Mrs. Odson A tea in honor of Mrs. John Odson was given by Professor N. B. Zane’s class in interior decor ating at his studio last Friday. Mrs. Odson, an interior decora I tor from Spokane, is in Eugene working with some clients and has ; brought with her textiles, pottery, glass, and decorative prints, which I she has had on display at the Eu i gene hotel. She has been a guest i at the University with the view of discussing practical problems with | the students at the school of ar | chitecture and allied arts.

Ivory Door’ Opens Four Dav Run at Guild Theatre Many Actors Will Take Part; Leading Holes To Be Laid Out l>y A Variety of Players At 8:15 tonight the curtain at Guilil theatre will rise on a stage set for the most auspicious under taking of the drama department for this term. For four perform ances, Wednesday, Thursday, Fri day, and Saturday, which is more than ever before, the Guild Hall Players will present A. A. Milne’s "Ivory Door.” There is a king, and a princess, and a magic door. There are witches, and goblins, and black leopards, although one never quite sees them . . . There is a child in the prologue . . . and black magic. Mr. Milne says, “criticism could safely write itself ... I think, (if an author may make these confessions), that it is the best play which I have writ ten ...” Milne Whimsical Mr. Milne is being whimsical about his legend, but he believes it. “There is a door . . . through which none may go, nor going, re turn ... it is the doorway from this world.” The Ivory Door! And one day the brave, handsome young king opened the door, and walked out of his world, Into life . . . And the beautiful princess, she, too, walked through the door and into life . . . And eventually, of course, they were married and lived happily ever after. That is the story of the legend.

To Take Lead RENEE GRAYCE NELSON Landsbury and Boardman To Be Heard March 6 Landwbury’s Recital First To Be Presented in About Six Years Program To Be Decided At Later Date Much interest has been shown in the recital to be given by Dr. John J.

International Week Banquet HeldLastNight Dr. Hurrey Is Speaker; Stresses Likenesses Of Races FRIENDSHIP IS PLEA Music Building Will Be Scene of Program Tonight The second day of International week, being sponsored by a num ber of campus organizations, in cluding the Emerald, had as its main feature an international ban quet held at Hendricks hall at 7:15 last night. No meetings are sched uled for today. Hurrey Speaks Dr. Charles G. Hurrey, the main speaker for the evening, brought out that the nations of the world are finding themselves more alike in many ways than they thought. He made a plea for the breaking down of international barriers. “Differences in religion have been the chief factor in keeping us apart for many years,” said Dr. Hurrey. "We are now finding that we are not as different as we thought. I think we should break down our international barriers.” The foreign students are enti tled to a cordial welcome in this country, and they have a right to expect of us that much, Dr. Hur rey said. They are entitled to the hospitality of our homes and churches, he said. On the other hand, he said, it is their duty to go back and serve among their people after they have received their education here, and to use this education in the up building of their country. Chinese Student Talks Leonard Jee, who spoke as the representative of the Chinese stu dents on the campus, made a plea for a stronger feeling of friend ship and understanding between students of the United Stated and China. Jee brought out that the Chi nese name for the United States is “Mei Kuo” (beautiful country), and that Americans are called "Mei Kuo Yen” or “men of the beautiful country.” No such de risive terms as "Chink,” "China man,” or "Charlie” are used in re ferring to or addressing Ameri cans, he said. Japan Represented Frank Shimizu, president of the Cosmopolitan club, represented the Japanese students. Shimizu em phasized the fact that the true differences in mankind are not those of color or of race, but of culture. If we understand this, Shimizu said, the nations of the world can be brought together. America and Japan are interdependent, com mercially, he said, and therefore it is essential that relations be tween the countries should be friendly. Patricio Pascua, president of the Filipino club, spoke for the stu dents of his nationality. He out lined what America had done for the Philippines, but said that it is time for America to grant them their independence. "America has wakened our ini (Continued on Page Three) Mrs. Warner Returns Home Collector Spent Five Months in Orient Mrs. Murray Warner, collector of Oriental art, and director of the museum of fine arts, that bears her name, returned Saturday from a five months' visit in the Orient. Mrs. Warner expressed herself as being quite pleased with the progress that has been made on the fine arts building. In com menting on the lack of windows in the building, she said: ‘‘It is a generally accepted fact that light as well as sun takes the color out ! of textiles. We have in addition 1 to our tapestries some very valu able paintings on sflk. The light not only takes the color out of the paintings but it darkens and even tually blackens their silk back grounds. The Field museum in ; Chicago has recently bricked up 1 sixty windows in their building." Mrs. Warner, in company with Mrs. Lucy Perkins, curator of the Chinese section of the museum, while in Japan attended the con ference of Pacific relations which was held in Kyoto. The object of the conference was to study the problems of the different peoples living on the other side of the Pa cific ocean. After the conference was over Mrs. Warner and Mrs. Perkins visited Nara, the old cap ital of Japan. The capital of Ja pan was moved from Nara over ten centuries ago. "They have a collection of im perial treasures there," said Mrs. Warner. "Things that belonged to the imperial household before the capital was moved and everything in the collection is at least 1,000 (Continued on Page Three)
