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 (Continued on Page Tu’oJ 6,916 Names Listed in New 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 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.

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. Earl Turner To Speak At Geology Seminar Earl F.

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 (Continued on Page .Two) Class of ’2J1 Makes Gifts to Museum Pedestal, Steps Presented To New Building As a gift of the class of 1928, a marble pedestal and steps are to be part of the memorial court of the Prince L. Campbell fine arts museum now being construct ed on the campus. The pedestal is to support the portrait bust of the late president, which is being made as his personal contribution by A. Phimister Proctor, noted sculptor, who also made the statue of the “Pioneer” on the campus. The bust is to be the object of interest of the court, and members of the sculpture department of the school of architecture and allied arts are completing other sculpturing to be used as decorations in the court. Public Speak inf! Class To Perform for Guests The students in Ralph C. Hoe ber's classes in advanced public speaking have recently been giv ing platform lectures.

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. Bulletin of Graduate Work Soon Available Leonard W.
