Water Slide New Resort Feature Will Be Ready for Use at Soph Picnic May 23 A “speed chute” now under con struction at Swimmer’s Delight, will be ready for use Friday, May 23, the day of the sophomore class picnic, and will be only one of the new features planned for the af fair, Jack Edlefsen and Alexis Lyle, in charge of features, said last night. Small wooden sleds are used on the slide and carry their passen gers nearly half-way across the river. Steel rollers on the chute give the sleds high speed during their descent, Edlefsen said. Tennis fans will be able to play at the picnic, for the manage-[ ment of the resort has built a court recently, the directors said. Mueller Will Attend Meetings in Portland John H.

This information became neces sary when a number of second year men inquired as to wh»tu - or not they were allowed t( * the upperclass garb inasmi Junior Week-end had conn gone: They can wear then cording to the above authoi -S •{ but they had better not. i Present juniors were also 2 ' tioned to remove any em hirsute growths from their uj fi lips, as they, too, will come ur. ^ the ban which will be rigidly forced by the usual method sessions of the “library step— These sessions will be held espe cially for the offenders who take the Junior Week-end passing as an excuse to get ahead of them selves.

Annual Affair on Sunday To Be at Gerlinger • “Today is the last day for jun iors to sign up for their senior guests for the Junior-Senior break fast,” Bess Templeton, chairman of the tickets for the affair, an nounced yesterday. “Since w^ must make plans for the number expected to attend, we urge that every junior woman buy her tick ets today, either from her house representative, or at the bunga low.” Tickets are sold for 75 cents for the couple, and the breakfast, which is an annual affair spon sored by the Y.

Be shot?’’ asked Fred O. Harris when the reporter asked him to give a character description of Burton James, who comes to Guild Theatre tonight in his reading of "Cyrano de Bergerac.” “Things like that make him fu rious!” exclaimed Mr. Harris. The reporter forebore to ask any more questions like that because Mr. Harris was getting a bit upset, and the two of us were down in the basement of the drama de partment—too far to call for help. The reporter argued, however, that Mr. James must be singularly modest, even though he brings to the campus one of the rarest ar tistic treats of the year. “How does he differ from other actors ?” she asked. “Well,” said Mr. Harris, rubbing his nose, “he’s a singularly good actor. I suppose that that is how j he differs.” 1 Let me say, before we get far ther into this story, that Mr. Har ris worked with Burton James, and so he speaks with what one might call authority. “He plays very fine character parts,” Mr. Harris continued. "All of his better parts, that is. All of them with something of per sonality about them.” Mr. James is especially noted for his work with Ibsen, and has taken character parts recently in “The Jest,” “The Living Corpse,” “The Master Builder,” “The Wild Duck,” “Juno and the Peacock,” “The Guardsman," and “Rip Van Winkle.” “Cyrano,” in which he will ap pear tonight, is a typical romantic play—which should appeal to col lege students. It was first played by the great Coquelin with Sarah Bernhardt as his leading lady. At one time Mr. James was a (Continued on tags Three) Chinese Play Setting To Be Spectacular Art Students Constructing Scenery; Harris Directing TICKET SALE STARTS — Lauterstein and Klippel On Both Production Staff and Cast The commencement play, “The Yellow Jacket,” to be given May 21 at the Heilig theater, will have ; >laborate and spectacular stage ef 5 ects, according to Prof. Fred 1 >rin Harris, who is directing the a instruction. < Classes in stage design and the er workshop are assisting, and idents in applied art are dec ting fabrics with Chinese de signs, fascinating in their peculiar Eastern way. Both costumes and scenery are rapidly moving toward completion, Professor Harris said. Tickets for the play are to go on sale at the University Co-op to day. Take Character Parts Carl Klippel and Celene Lauter stein, newly elected members of National Collegiate Players, not only take character parts in the play, but Klippel is business man ager and Miss Lauterstein is in charge of the properties. Klippel plays the part of Wu Sin Yin, the governor, a charac ter of great dignity and grotesque majesty. He describes himself, through his lines in the play, as the most important character in it. Klippel played the Prince in “The Ivory Door”; Charles, butler, gentleman and accomplished thief, in “The Last of Mrs. Cheyney”; and Cothernus in “Aria da Capo.” In Charge of Costumes Miss Lauterstein, who is in charge of properties and is at present building a giant spider’s web (into which the hero is al most enticed), had entire charge of the costuming for “The Ivory Door,” designing an,d constructing most of them herself. As an actress, she takes the part of Suey Sin Fah, wife of the “God-loved farmer.” It is she and her husband who rescue the infant hero, Wu Hu Git, from the wrath of his father, the governor. Miss Lauterstein played the older of the two maiden sisters in "Escape,” and the part of Geor gia, the secretary, in “Women folk.” Freshman Plans Visit to Orient Evelyn Roberts Former Resident of China A two-month trip to the Orient is the vacation to which Evelyn Roberts, freshman in journalism, is looking forward. She will ac company Josef W. Hall, former professor at the University of Washington, who will personally conduct the tour. Mr. Hall, who is the uncle of Miss Roberts, is a writer and lecturer who is known by the pen name of Upton Close. Miss Roberts formerly lived in China for nine years. It has been six years since she has been in the Orient, and she intends to visit her many friends there. She plans to return to the University in the fall, when she will be a sophomore. Korean Doctor Talks To International Club Present conditions among China, Korea and Japan were discussed yesterday and Monday in talks given before members of the In ternational club by Dr. Chang Sei Kim, famous Korean physician and tuberculosis specialist. Doctor Kim left the campus for San Fran cisco yesterday afternoon. Doctor Kim, who is the director of a large tuberculosis sanatorium in Hangchow, China, is touring the I United States with the intention of visiting all the large tubercu losis senatoriums of Arizona, Col orado, and eastern states. He was housed and entertained at the In ternational house during his stay : here, and was received Monday afternoon by President Arnold [ Bennett Hall. "Creation” Soloists Coming Lester Spring, Imss soloist, and Kuth Somerindyke, soprano, will arrive in Eugene Thursday for final rehearsals of Haydn's “The Creation,” which will be presented in McArthur court Friday evening by the Eugene Oratorio society. Arthur Hoard man, of the school of music faculty, will In* the tenor soloist. Rehearsals for Oratorio Show Sound Betterment Accoustics in McArthur Court Improved Extensively Main Soloists Chosen for Society’s Presentation By DAVE WILSON Did you notice at the Junior Prom Saturday evening how clear ly the music of the dance band carried to the farthest corner of the big floor? The reason for this unusual acoustical excellence of McArthur court is that the band was play ing under the big sound shell which has been erected across the south end of the court for the Eu gene Oratorio Society's presenta tion of “The Creation" Friday eve ning. The rehearsal of the oratorio ensemble was held in the court for the first time Monday evening, and proved beyond doubt that the new arrangement of stage and shell will be a decided acoustical improvement. About half of the 315-voice chorus of the society are Univer sity students, and the University Symphony orchestra of 50 pieces is to be used in conjunction with the chorus. The soloists are to be Ruth Somerindyke of Los Angeles, so prano; Arthur Boardman of the school of music faculty, tenor; and Lester Spring of Chicago, basso, Ronald Robnett, business man ager for the "production, stresses the fact that “The Creation” is not an associated students’ con cert; hence students will be charged the same admission as townspeople. The Oratorio society is renting McArthur court from the A. S. U. O. for its concert. Tickets are now on sale at the Co-op store and at McMorran and Washburne's. Mrs. Beck Honored * # * * Is Pul on Radio Committee Anne Landsbury Beck, school of music faculty member, has been appointed to the Pacific coast ad visory committee on music appre ciation for the National Broad casting Company of America. The committee will plan the les sons in appreciation to broadcast next year in a weekly series, de signed for grade and high school children. Mrs. Beck recently took an im portant part in the national con vention of music supervisors in Chicago in March and at that time served on the resolutions commit tee which mapped out the music teaching policies for the coming year. ‘Religious Education’ To Be Tuttle’s Topic Harold S.

Shower Spoils Another Ball Game -Races Held Instead Reinhart and O’Donnell Lose in Dash The Oregon Pioneer still looks southward trying to catch a glimpse of the coming spring, while the ball players sing that little ditty about “every day of rainy wedder brings anudder dou ble hedder.” Yes, after the Huskies and Web foots had assembled on Reinhart field to renew festivities yesterday the clouds which had been gather ing all morning began to exert that old irrigating influence. While all hands waited to see if the shower would stop, a spirit of challenging sprang up between the visitors and the home gang. Some races were arranged. Tubby Graves, Husky coach, created a big surprise and won the respect of all who saw him when he raced the two Webfoot mentors, Ray O'Donnell and Bill Reinhart from the west fence to second base, about fifty yards, and beat them. Bill was pressing him hard at the finish, but Graves had bigger feet and got better traction, so Bill slipped in second. Poor O’Donnell did his best but it was a pitiful spectacle, and let it be said to show the sportsman ship that prevailed, no one cracked a smile. Ray is rather short and stout, anyway, while Reinhart is lithe and Graves tall. Big Train MacDonald, who has speed, but only on the ball, astounded himself by beating Nev ins, the Husky twirler. The real dope on this race, though, was that they both lumbered like two loggers. Carl Nelson was matched against the slowest man Washing ton had, and midst the perfect psychological mixture of yells and boos he stepped out to win. Now he ranks as second slowest in the circuit. Franny Andrews, who Is fleet on his feet, was outclassed (Continued on Page Two)
