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.

TO VOTE ON JUDICIARY . .
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.

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.

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

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.

Juniors Plan
Class Vodvil;
Hall to Direct
New Idea Meets Approval
Of Student Committee
And Officials
TO NAME STAFF SOON
Peterson To Be Manager;
Van Kinnnell Will Act
As Secretary
The new proposed plan for the
annual Junior Vodvil met with the
approval of the junior class at a
Stan Brooks
night and prep •
arations for the
huge undertaking
will soon be in
full swing, ac
cording to Stan
Brooks, chair
man of the Vod
vil dire ctorate.
The plan has al
ready met with
the approval of
the student af
fairs committee
and with Univer
sity officials’ official sanction. The
only other business transacted at
the meeting was the agreement to
hold the annual Junior Shine day
this Friday, rain or shine. In case
of inclement weather the campus
shine shops will be used.
Vinton Hall has been selected by
Brooks to be general director of
the Vodvil and he will have com
plete charge of the production. He
will name his staff of assistant
directors in a few days and each
assistant will have charge of one
act of the big show. Practices for
the various acts will be held indi
vidually and the units will be
grouped to form the production.
Peterson Selected
Tony Peterson was selected as
business manager of the produc
tion and he will take over the
business and financial matters
connected with the review. Peter
son worked on the Vodvil last year
and he is experienced in the busi
ness end of the undertaking. He
will have a staff of assistants who
will be named soon.
Phyllis Van Kimmell will serve
as secretary for the members of
the Vodvil directorate and she will
have complete charge of the cor
respondence connected with the
various units of the show.
Present plans are to stage the
show on a larger scale than ever
before, according to Brooks, but
rehearsals will be so arranged that
those in the cast will not have to
attend rehearsals which will inter
fere with their academic work.
Late night practices will also be
abolished. The event, although it
is a junior class function, is
planned as an all-campus affair
and every student will be eligible
to try out for a part. The first
try-outs will be held some time
next week and it is planned to
have the show well organized by
the end of this term. May 3 and
4 are the dates tentatively set for
the production.

Ivory Door’ Opens Four

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.
The cast for the production is
one of the largest used in several
years, embracing as it does 28
people. The majority of the
characters have been cast from
the class in technique of acting,
with the exception of three former
Guild Hall players, Lawrence
Shaw, Arthur Gray, and Dr. Ed
ward Buchanan.
Three Play Leads
The leads are to be played by
three people, Carl Klippel as King
Perivale, and Renee Nelson and
Loleta Jaeger as the princess, Miss
Nelson playing tonight, and Thurs
day, and Miss Jaeger Friday and
Saturday.
Tickets for the production have
been on sale since Monday at the
ticket office in Johnson hall, and
may be procured there. All seats
are to be reserved, and the price
range is from 50 to 75 cents.

the class of ’31 will polish the
shoes of the campus, will be held
rain or shine on Friday, February
28, Bill Pittman, general chair
man of the Shine day committee,
announced yesterday.
In order that the rainy weather
which has been the cause of the
postponement of the event may
not interfere this time, indoor
shine stands have been arranged
for. These will be used only if
it rains; otherwise the regular
open air ones will prevail.
Ticket sales in the various
houses will continue all week un

Much interest has been shown
in the recital to be given by Dr.
John J. Landsbury, dean of the
school of music, and Arthur
Boardman, head of the voice de
partment, March 6, at the music
auditorium.
This will be the first time Dr.
Landsbury has been heard in re
cital in about six years and the
opportunity to hear the Oregon
pianist again has been welcomed
throughout the city. Dr. Lands
.bury is recognized as a virtuoso
ranking on a par with the best
of the country.
Mr. Boardman, who has been
giving most of his time to direct
ing and teaching, has had two
major concerts since coming to
Eugene last fall. He sang with
the Portland symphony orchestra
in its presentation of “The Mes
siah,” December 30, and was heard
in a concert here January 7 at
McArthur court in a program
that was one of the A. S. U. O.

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.

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
