Kenneth Curry Is Head Of Oregon Student Commission * - TO. HELP STUDENTS Seigrist, McGee, Kaufman, Stipe and Tepee Given Jobs A movement to extend and fos ter the work of the National Stu dent Federation of America at the University of Oregon was launched yesterday by Tom Stoddard, stu dent body president, with the an nouncement of a campus N. S. F. A. committee. Kenneth Curry, junior in law, is to be the chairman of the new committee. Other members are ^ Kenneth Seigrist, Mildred McGee, Jack Stipe, Dorothy Teepe, and Victor Kaufman. The National Student Federa tion of America is a nation-wide league of university and college student bodies. Its primary object is to improve student self-govern ment by research and the study of mutual problems. Siegrist in Charge Siegrist will have charge of work on campus organization and student activities. Mildred McGee will carry out the international re lations program of the association. Jack Stipe will co-operate as an Oregon representative in the na tional group’s work of improving student government, and Dorothy Teepe will occupy a similar posi tion in relation to women’s gov ernment. . Victor Kaufman, as director or “ the news bureau, will have charge of distributing bulletins which come from the national news bu reau and of publicizing the activi ties of the Oregon committee. Oregon Is Member Oregon has been a member of the federation since its founding five years ago, and at present Tom Stoddard is a member of the na tional executive committee as one of the two delegates chosen from the country at large, an honor which he gained at the annual con vention held at Stanford at the first of the year. Tours Are Spsonoreil "The federation seeks to develop among American college students the finest and most intelligent' sense of citizenship,” said Stod dard, “and to foster an interna tional attitude on political ques tions. It sponsors student tours to Europe and the Orient. It also seeks to be a channel for the sig- j nificant expression of student opin 4 ion on national politics by means of questionnaires and polls of opinion. "In carrying on this important national work locally, the Oregon N. S. F. A. committee will be one of the most important committees of the student body. This com mittee will be appointed regularly at the beginning of each spring term and will work in close co operation with the president of the Associated Students.” Oregon Debators Beat New Mexico Laird, Sloan Triumph in Forensic Battle By a 3-to-0 decision Oregon's varsity debate team, composed of Eugene Laird and Errol Sloan, de feated the University of New Mex ico at Albuquerque, New Mexico, on March 31, according to word received from the team. The question for debate was “Resolved: That world peace de mands the demobolieation of all forces except those necessary for police protection.” This was originally scheduled for a no-decision debate, but due to a misunderstanding, judges were appointed, and their decision gave Oregon the victory. No Class or Sex Wanted In Council - Moving Finger - Proposal of Soph Man Brings Fingers Reply - By Oliver Politicus - THE FINGER SUGGESTS: 1. No sophomore on council. 2. No junior on council. 3. No senior on council. 4. No sex requirements. * * * Provision for a sophomore on the executive council has been suggested by the executive com mittee of the constitutional revis ion committee. No action has yet been taken on the suggestion by the whole committee, and it re mains a suggestion. Before that action is taken the Moving Finger has its own suggestions to make. It agrees that student representation on the council should be increased, and has advocated that change in this column. But it also agrees with earlier formal agreement of the entire committee that the student rep resentatives are not delegates of the classes. They represent the student body as a whole. The day of the student council is over. The executive council is to act and not to be subdivided into committees to inquire into the responses of each class, organiza tion, fraternity, or society. It should keep closely in touch with students, but it does not need a member from the Order of the O, from Phi Beta Kappa, from Socks from Socrates, Oregon Knights, or Alpha Alpha. * * * The junior and senior finance men are so named because of their progression by seniority. If the junior man is advanced he becomes senior man, no matter what his class credits. The sen ior woman’s name is a take over from the old impotent stu dent council. * * * Thus the Moving Finger sug gests no sophomore, junior, or senior. Let them be elected within those years, but not as represen tatives of the classes. Let them be representatives instead of dele gates. Let the new office increase (Continued on Page Four) Lincoln High Captures Drama Meet; Quality of Plays High By C AROL HCRLBURT Proving that in some instances a critic’s judgment may be cor rect, “Aye, Aye, Sir,” presented by ^ Lincoln high school of Portland, under the direction of Miss Con stance L. Roth, won the fourth annual High School Drama tour nament. The plays were judged on inter pretation of the story, characteri zation, and the ability of the actors to convey their roles to the audi ence; scenery, lighting, costumes, and so forth; and evidence of the director’s work. “Spring Sluicing,” presented by Milwaukie Union high school and directed by Elizabeth Yoder, took first honorable mention. "Lone some-like” by Corvallis high, di rected by Mrs. Edna Condon, and -4 “The Last of the Lowries” by Sa lem high school, directed by Mar garet Burroughs, tied for second mention. Loving cups were awarded Sat urday evening after the last play. Original plans had promised two prizes, but a third cup was added by Dean Collins, dramatic critic of the Portland Telegram, who stipu lated that it should go to the girl with the finest individual acting. His cup went to Ruth Howe, who took the part of Comba Lowrie, the mother, in “The Last of the Lowries,” a slight, tottering old woman. A cup which Mr. Collins first gave last year to the boy whose acting was best, was presented, Saturday night, to Don Bennett, slight red-haired fellow, who took the part of Sam Horrocks in (Continued on Page Three) Canoe Fete Drawings To Come Today Partners To Build Floats To Be Seleeted at 12:30 This Noon NEW CUP PLAN MADE East Annonnees Contest To Seleet Name for Mill-raee Idea Drawings for teams and places in the annual Canoe Fete will be held on the Library steps at 12:30 this noon, ac cording to an an nouncement made last night by Bill East, chairman of the Canoe Fete directorate.

But not such discouraging words greeted one petite young pianist from Michigan who played before the maestro. Instead, he exclaim ed of her, “Ah, the mademoiselle has poesy!” She was Jane Thacher, now fac ulty member of the school of mu sic, who has gained national dis tinction for her work as a vir tuoso. She studied for years with Leschetizky and he pronounced her a great artist. Mrs. Thacher will appear in her first recital program since last spring Thurs day, April 10, at the music audi torium at 8:15 o’clock. Eugene audiences have come to look forward to her recitals as events of deepest enjoyment and news of the Thursday night pro gram has been received here with general interest. In her concert work in both east and west states, Mrs. Thacher has had real ovations. Press clippings from various ap pearances praise her as an artistic genius and comment on her excel lent technique, power of interpre tation and skilled musicianship. One writer said of her: “Mrs. Thacher convinced her audience that she has brought her playing to a standard reached only by the chosen few.” “It isn’t technique—if by that you mean the physical and me chanical part of her playing. It isn’t interpretation—if by that you (Continued on Page Two)
