Grade Precentage Ratio Plan Suggested In Amendment at Meeting of Phi Beta Kappa Honorary - — — ♦t———— -—-+—— — _________m ,, „ _r_‘_ " _ Whole Course Basis Subject For Selection Standards of Honorary To Remain Unchanged Under New System Resolution on Death of Mrs. McCornaek Passed An amendment that would sub stitute the grade percentage ratio for the grade point average was proposed at a meeting of Phi Beta * Kappa, scholastic honorary, held yesterday afternoon. The proposed amendment neither raises nor low ers the standards of election to Phi Beta Kappa, but is suggested following recent student agitation for a different system of figuring grades. If the amendment is passed by the honorary, the stu dent's whole course in the Univer sity, including the first term of his freshman year, which was for merly omitted in the reckoning, will be the basis for computing eligibility to the organization. A resolution was also passed at the meeting on the death of Ellen Condon McCornaek, widow of Ore gon's pioneer geologist, who passed away recently. The resolution is as follows: WHEREAS, our long-esteemed friend and fellow member, Mrs. Ellen Condon McCorhack, has been removed from our midst by death, and WHEREAS, Mrs. McCornack was for long active in civic af fairs, productive in scholarship, and zealously faithful in her re ligious work, affording to the community a noble example of a well-rounded, simple and sin cere life which has been an in spiration to all who were privi liged to know her, now THEREFORE, we, her associ ates in Phi Beta Kappa, do hereby express our deep grati tude for the privilege of work ing with this beloved woman, and the great loss we feel in her passing from our company, and We further desire that this expression of our appreciation be made known to the adminis tration of the University of Ore gon, her Alma Mater, to which she brought added distinction; to the Alumni Association, of which she was one of the most distinguished members; and to her immediate family as a token of our sympathy. ALPHA OF OREGON CHAP TER OF PHI BETA KAPPA. Eugene, Oregon, April 3, 1930. Class Changes To Be Cheeked English Department Lays Down New Law Formerly when students got the big urge to change from their sec tion in English courses to another they did so. Without questioning anyone, they just picked up their Beowulf's and departed elsewhere; but nevermore. From now on and henceforth Dr. C. V. Boyer, head of the Eng lish department, decrees that no such conduct will be permissible. In order to change from one sec tion of an English course to an other, the student must get a peti tion from the office, and get the signature of the present instruc tor, the proposed instructor, the adviser and the head of the de partment. If the petition is grant ed, cards will be sent to both the instructors and the registrar’s of fice notifying them of the change. By this change, Dr. Boyer hopes to avoid the confusion that ensues when students transfer and can not be located. Art School Dean on Oregon Exam Board Ellis F.

Speaking Contest For Hilton Prize Set for April 10 Seven Men To Compete For Awards; Topic Selected The date of the Hilton prize contest has been definitely set for April 10 by Charles E.

Aviation Course Has 65 Students Class Roll Closed Down; Too Many Enrolled The course in commercial avia tion offered this term by Dean David E. Faville and William Fow ler of the school of business ad ministration has been closed to further enrollment, according to the dean, who reports a roll of 65 students. • The course is designed to give the student an insight into the de velopments of aviation, its history and possibilities. Speakers from such organizations as the Western Air Express, National Airport as sociation, and the Pacific Air Transport will address the class from time to time. It is planned also to have licensed pilots and weather bureau representatives speak to the students. Underground Pipes On Campus Charted A survey of the underground pipe system of the campus is now being undertaken by the Univer sity, according to A. P. McKenzie, superintendent of buildings and grounds. In this survey, all steam mains, sewers and drain pipes, city mains, race water mains, gas mains, and electric conduits will be shown in the blueprints that are being made. The exact location of all walks, concrete, gravel, and board, and the location of all macadam roads will also be shown. By referring to these charts it Hugh Miller Given Praise in Senior Recital; Large Audience Encores Piano Student of John Stark Evans By BARNEY MILLER If one were to judge from the remarks of the audience and the enthusiastic and warm applause which marked its appreciation, the program rendered by Hugh Miller, who appeared in his senior piano recital at the music auditorium i last night, was a decided success ! and a distinct triumph for the pi-; anist himself. In this program, which was in ; teresting enough to please the cas ual listener as well as difficult enough to hold the attention of ; the trained musician, Miller dis played a technique which was ex tremely polished and flashy, excel lent interpretive style and splen did execution. Although the entire program, j which was excellently chosen, was well rendered, it reached its real climax in the final number, Rubin stein’s "Concerto No. 4, D-minor.” In this selection Miller was ac companied on the organ by John Stark Evans, of whom he is a pu pil. The combination of the piano and the organ was extremely pleasing and it was in this selec tion, perhaps, that Miller gave his most outstanding performance, ex ecuting difficult runs and trills with professional skill and exhib iting excellent technique. At the close of the program, the crowd, which was unusually large, called the pianist back for an encore, “Juba Dance,” by Na tharual Dett. The program was as follows: I English Suite No. 11, A-minor ... Bach prelude Allemande Courante sarabande Bource gigue ?T3 Sonata Op. 53 .Beethoven 11 On Wings of Song.Mendelssohn Spinning Song .Mendelssohn Etude Op. 10, No. 1.Chopin Etude Op. 10, No. 5.Chopin Etude Op. 10, No. 12.Chopin III Concerto No. 4, D-minor . . Rubinstein I will be possible to ascertain the exact location anti size of all un derground pipe, thus avoiding dig ging into the ground when new pipe is being added, repairs are being made, or excavation work is being done. The blueprints now on hand are out of date, as many changes have taken place in the last few years.
