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.

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. Lawrence, dean of the
school of architecture and allied
arts, has been appointed by Gov

V. Bennes, president; J. E. Wicks,

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

Underground Pipes
On Campus Charted
A survey of the underground
pipe system of the campus is now
being undertaken by the Univer

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.

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

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.
