Theodore Harper
Talks of Siberia
At Formal Dinner
100 Persons Attend First
Matrix Table Banquet
Held on Campus
Elise Scliroeder Explains
History of Affair
Exploding all the old theories
that generally fill the American
mind concerning Russia and Si
beria was accomplished by Theo
dore Acland Harper in a short
hour at the Matrix Table of The
ta Sigma Phi, woman’s national
journalistic honorary, at the Eu
gene hotel grille room Tuesday
evening. Mr. Harper lived in Si
beria for a number of years under
primitive conditions.
He was a personal friend of Ku
brik, the notorious outlaw, and
entrusted a large sum of money to
his friend to buy cattle for Mr.
Harper's mine workers during the
famine of 1906. Kubrik returned
after four months with the cattle,
and the change for his friend. He
would stab a man on the slightest
pretense but he was true to Mr.
Harper who trusted him.
Lives Like Natives
Mr. Harper says that the secret
of a foreigner’s success in Russia
and Siberia is not to impress them
by one’s importance, but to live
under their conditions.
This is the first matrix table
banquet held on the campus, but
the success of the affair was so
pronounced that the group hope
to have a banquet with some well
known speaker-guest every year.
The speaker was introduced by
Mrs. Sally Elliott Allen. Miss
Elise Schroeder, president of the
organization explained the history
of the Matrix Table to the 100
guests. Members of the Phi Beta
quartet, Cecile Coss, Estelle John
son, Mabel Kullander McKinney,
and Ruth Bryant, accompanied by
Theresa Kelly, sang Russian songs
during the dinner.
Concert and Juilliard Recital
Merit Popular Appreciation
There was a really magnificent
concert at the music auditorium
Monday night, and a very fine
recital program Tuesday evening
—neither of which was heard by
audiences as large as they mer
ited.
Musicians who heard the six
Juilliard scholars in their ensem
ble program Monday were unani
mously agreed that it was one of
the finest concerts ever given by
University of Oregon students.
Tuesday night’s recital was given
by Sara Addleman — and she
showed herself once again a gifted
musician, with a real flair for con
cert singing, i’arolyn Haberlach
assisted her.
The Juilliard musicians—Gladys
Foster, Juanita Oskins, Esther
Wicks, Agnes Petzold, Malcolm
Medler, and Arthur Hicks—did a
truly unique thing when they pre
sented five numbers, each of which
was given by a different combi
nation. Miss Foster, pianist, Miss
Oskins and Miss Wicks, violinists,
and Roberta Spicer, ’cellist, who
assisted, gave the opening quar
tet, an allegro from a Mozart
sonata. Malcolm Medler played a
sonata of his own composition for
the second number and the third
was a trio given by Miss Wicks,
Miss Spicer, and Mr. Hicks, who
is a pianist.
Senta’s ballade, from Act II of
“Der Fliegende Hollander” (Wag
ner), was sung by Miss Petzold,
mezzo soprano, with Miss Foster
accompanying. As the final num
ber Miss Foster and Mr. Hicks
played two piano ensembles, "Sici
lienee,” by Bach-Maier, and "Im
promptu-Rococo,” by Schutt.
All are gifted musicians and

Alumni Roll
May Issue of Old Oregon
First Grad'Directory
Since 1925
FREE TO SUBSCRIBERS
28 to 30 Years Is Average
Age of Graduates
University of Oregon alum
ni ectory, to be released this
moi ng for the first time since
the edition of 1925, contains data
showing that at the present time
me verage age of all graduates
of toe University is between 28
and 5'' years.
The directory lists 6,916 Oregon
alumni, one-fourth of whom were
graduated since 1926.
Miss Boyer Edits
It has been compiled and edited
during the past few months by the
staff of Old Oregon, official al
umni publication, and is being dis
tributed today as the May issue of
the magazine. Miss Margaret
Boyer, acting as editor in the ab
sence of Miss Jeannette Calkins,
alumni secretary, directed the
work.
“The average age of living mem
bers of the 52 classes listed in the
directory is not more than 30,"
Miss Calkins said yesterday. “The
fact that the great majority of the
graduates are still so young indi
cates that the future holds a great
deal for Oregon men and women.”
Five in First Class
The first graduating class, that
of June, 1878, consisted of five
members, four of whom are de
ceased. Judge Robert S. Bean of
Portland is the lone survivor. On
the first page of the directory 12
classes are listed; while the class
of June, 1929, alone fills five pag
es. The class of January, 1930,
is the last one listed.
Only 29 honorary degrees have
been granted since the founding
of the University.
The directory, which is organ
ized according to graduation dates,
gives the name, address, degree,
and occupation of each alumnus.
In a separate index they all are
listed again alphabetically.
Covers Eighty Pages
Covering 80 pages, the directory
number is about three times the
size of the ordinary issue of Old
Oregon. With a four-color cut of
the Administration building, the
cover carries on the modernistic
style initiated by Miss Calkins
earlier in the spring.
Besides the regular staff, Prof.
George S. Turnbull of the school
of journalism assisted in putting
out the work. It was printed and
bound at the University press, un
der the direction of Robert C. Hall,
superintendent.
Copies will be sent free to Old
Oregon subscribers, according to
Miss Calkins, and will cost $2 to
others. They are obtainable at the
Co--o-p and at the alumni office.

A long list of prizes donated by
Eugene business men for the soph
omore class picnic Friday, May 23,
at Swimmers' Delight, was an
nounced last night by Don Mc
Cormick, general chairman, and
Jack Edlefsen, in charge of fea
tures.
The fraternity or sorority hav
ing the largest number of sopho
mores at the picnic grounds at
5:30, when a count will be made,
will be the guests of the Fox Mc
Donald theater May 28 w’hen “The
Rogue Song," starring Lawrence

house with the second largest
turnout at that hour will receive
a theater party June 3 at the Fox
Rex theater for “This Thing

Lowe.
A dinner for four persons at the
Eugene hotel Sunday, May 25, will
be another of the major prizes
to be awarded at the picnic, Mc
Cormick said, and will be given
for a contest yet to be selected.
Two loving cups engraved by
the Hoffman Jewelery company,
will go to the man and woman

policy of "dates” for the picnic,
McCormick announced last night
that dates would be optional for
the affair. “No compulsion is in
tended when we say our motto will
be ‘dates’—we are just allowing
them,” he said.
Hack Miller Wins
Greater Oregon
Vice-Presidency
Naming of Senior Manager
To Promote Athletics,
Believes Freck
Work in Eastern Oregon
Falls to Bob Miller
Robert E. “Hack” Miller, Port
land, appointed senior athletic
manager by the executive council
last week, was yesterday picked
to be a vice-chairman of the
Greater Oregon committee.
In making the appointment, Joe
Freck, general chairman of the
committee, said that Miller would
have charge of the athletics divi
sion of the committee, having un
der him all student athletic man
agers, who automatically become
members of the committee.
Considered Improvement
“I feel that the addition of the
student athletic managers to the
roster of the Greater Oregon com
mittee will be very valuable to us
in our work; that it will provide
committee workers who are thor
oughly familiar with the athletic
conditions of the University. The
distribution of these managers
about the state is good and they
should be a very efficient part of
the general committee. I wish to
stress that this managerial group
is a part of our committee, and
not a separate unit co-operating
with it.”
Miller Assistant Chairman
Robert T. Miller, of Pendleton,
is to be assistant general chair
man, and will direct the commit
tee work in the section from Hood
River eastward. He has announced
the appointment of Evelyn Stroove
as his secretary. His headquar
ters will be in Pendleton.

Bunco Artist |
Unmasked by
Warren Smith!
Pseudo Explorer Barks
Down on Story When
Questioned
BAGGAGE IS SEARCHED
Tale of ‘Tiger Hunt" Ruins
Good Appearanee Man
Had Made
That University professors make
good detectives was proved in one
instance, at least, when Dr. War
ren D. Smith, head of the depart
ment of geology, checked the ac
tivities of a clever bunco-artist
here last summer. It was not de
termined definitely who and what
the man was until his baggage
was opened at the Osburn hotel
a few days ago, when it was re
vealed that he had victimized col
lege and university people in all
parts of the country.
Last summer, a man who
claimed to be Dr. J.- C-,
a well-known English explorer,
visited Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall,
president of the University, saying
he specialized in archaeology.
Since there is no such department
in the University, Dr. Hall called
upon Dr. Smith to take care of
the alleged explorer.
Man Interesting
That the man was very inter
esting was the assertion of Dr.
Smith. However, he did not seem
to have the characteristics of a
scientist, and Dr. Smith took him
to be a “soldier of fortune.” When
he found that the supposed ex
plorer spoke Spanish very well,
and talked of people the Oregon
professor had known in the Phil
ippines, he became more inter
ested, and invited him to lunch
with him at the Anchorage that
day, Saturday.
So enthusiastic was he about the
clever impostor, who seemed to be
genuine, that Dr. Smith invited
him to have dinner at his home
that same evening. Here came the
first slip-up, when Dr. J-C
told of hunting tigers in South
America; Mrs. Smith questioned
the presence of tigers in South
America after their visitor left,
and found that the dictionary
states tigers are exclusively
Asiatic.
Suspicions Aroused
Dr. Smith himself began to get
a bit suspicious when, during the
evening, the man spoke about be
ing "broke,” and stated that he
wanted to get out of Eugene as
quickly as possible to join his
“party” in California. The Uni
versity man loaned him $5.
On the evening of the following
day, Sunday, Dr. Smith wired Dr.
Isaiah Bowman, director of the
American Geographical society,
the recognized American authority
on South America. Monday morn

Peters' Lodge, Associated Women
Students’ cabin on the Willamette
river, is going to be given in Port

end. Jane Culler and Adele Wede
meyer have been appointed by
Miss Templeton to take charge of

Miss Templeton said yesterday.
Furnishings for the lodge will not
be secured until next fall.

her work of caring for the lodge
has recently been appointed and
includes Barbara Mann, who has

J. Kitzmiller
!J The election of
[ the new leader
t came last night
.j when the letter
men of last year’s
squad met after
the Order of the
O meeting. The
meeting was held
in accord ance
with a sugges
tion made at the
I football banquet,
last week, by
Doc Spears.
Spears, in speaking at the ban
quet, suggested that the new cap
tain be named this term.
Injury Mends
Last year at the close of the
first half of the Oregon-Oregon
State game, Kitz was injured to
such an extent that he was unable
to play in the remaining games
on the Webfoot schedule. Due to
this injury, he was also unable to
make the trip with the team to
Florida, In order that he might
have an opportunity to visit his
family in Harrisburg, Pennsyl
vania, the business men of Eugene
expressed their consideration of
him by taking up a collection to
enable him to make the trip.
This year at the beginning of
the spring semester Kitz did not
return to school and it was feared
for a time that his college career
had been terminated. However,
he is now working in Eugene, has
been turning out for spring prac
tice for the past few weeks, and
has gained a knowledge of the
Spears brand of football.
Shows Old Form
In the football game, which was
held as a part of the field day last
week, the newly elected captain
showed a complete return to the
old-time brilliant football which
has made him the star of past
Oregon football teams. He was
injected into the game at a crucial
period and succeeded in scoring
two touchdowns to bring the Col
bert team ahead of the opposition.

Evelyn Roberts Will Travel
In Orient With Expedition
Evelyn Roberts, freshman, who
is majoring in journalism, will be
a member of the Fourth Cultural
Expedition to the Orient this sum
mer, which is a trip of two months
personally conducted by Josef W.
Hall, a former professor at the
University of Washington. Mr.
Hall, who is the uncle of Miss Rob
erts, is an author and lecturer
who writes under the name of Up
ton Close.
There will be 150 persons in the
party, most of whom are students.
They will sail from Seattle July 2
and return to the United States
in September. On the boat a se
ries of 18 lectures will be given
which will inform the students of
the historical background of the
countries which they are to visit.
The group will land in Yoko
hama after a two weeks' trip
across the Pacific ocean. An event
of interest after leaving this city
will be a night journey through
the inland sea by moonlight. China
and Korea will both be visited and
trips will be taken inland in both
countries.
The party will be divided into
smaller groups according to the
individual’s special interest. A se
lect group cf 25 will be chosen to
accompany Mr. Hall when he visits
the royal families. Miss Roberts
has been selected as one of this
group. She will also aid him in
entertaining.
For nine years of her life Miss
Roberts lived in China, returning
to the United States six years ago.
She is anticipating visiting both
friends and relatives who reside in
different parts of China. “I like
the Orient,” said Miss Roberts. "To
me it is like home. Some time I
hope to go there to live for at
! least two years.”
