Since its creation last fall by Arthur Boardman, noted American tenor, who became head of the voice department this year, the choir has brought Oregon no small amount of recognition as it is thought one of the few amateur polyphonic groups of importance today. Sixty trained students are doing intensive study under Mr. Boardman in the fields of music used by such well known groups as the Smallman a capella and the Russian Symphonic choirs. Wicks To Play Miss Esther Wicks will play a violin obligato for a contralto solo by Agnes Petzold in one number. A very old Ave Maria and the Allelulia from Beethoven’s only oratorio are interesting numbers of the first group which is from the early polyphonists of whom Bach and the earlier Palestrina are foremost. Stabat Mater To Be Heard Palestrina’s Stabat Mater, written for three choirs in twelve parts, will conclude the first group. The Greek Catholic (Rus sian) church, with its wealth of richly-colored music will supply the material for the second group while the third will be from recent polyphonic compositions, including a negro spiritual for which there was a request. Program Given The program follows: Music of the Early Church— (a) J. S. Bach (1685-1750) Chor ale “Hush, My Dear”; Arcadelt (1514-1575) “Ave Maria”; Bee thoven, “Alleluia” from “The Mount of Olives.” (bt Da Palestrina (1524-1594) Stabat Mater. This setting of the ancient Latine poem is writ ten for three choirs in twelve parts. Music of the Greek Catholic (Russian) Church— (c) Kastalsky “O Gladsome Light”; Tschaikowsky, “Hymn to the Trinity”; Tschaikowsky, "Cherabim Song No. 3. , Recent Polyphonic Music— (d) Rubenstein, “Reve Angel - ique.” A choral paraphrase by S. R. Gaines for ladies’ choir. Contralto solo by Miss Petzold. Violin obligato by Miss Wicks. R. Nathaniel Dett, “O Holy Lord.” A characteristic negro spiritual arranged in eight parts. Hoofers Keep Busy H. H- ¥ * 52 Held Dances This Week Git out yer fiddles and bag pipes, all ye campus musicians. Only 52 dances on the Univer sity of Oregon and Oregon State campi, which only goes to prove that college studes still like to dance. Yes, and take a look at the society column today. It’s all a part of the college education. Which reminds us that by the time the student has his horse hide, his pigskin, donned his coonskin, and received his sheep skin, poor father has little hide left. Phi Delta Phi To Banquet Phi Delta Phi, national law hon orary, will hold a banquet tonight at the Lee Duke’s cafe, at 6 o'clock. The speaker of the eve ning will be William C. McCul loch, Portland attorney. Members of the honorary who ^ are unable to attend the banquet are asked to notify William Kuy kendahl. Trapped Fishermen Go Hungry With 80 Fresh Fish on Hand 'J'RAPPED by darkness in desolate snow-covered coun try far up the south fork of the McKenzie, three returning fishermen found themselves all night prisoners in the snow, with 80 uneookahle fish on their hands, no blankets, and onlv « loaf of bread and six eg) the way of edible food. O, loaf of broad and six eggs fieed for a few hours; a ea fire in a sheltered spot made to serve in plaee of b 0 clothes. £ Half-warmed by the flaim g the hungry trio slept uni dawn. The 80 fish remaine untouched—frying pan ther was none. & % \ (rt o Hidden lake, near Hardy’s cabin, 65 miles up the McKen zie, was the scene of the night's outing. Ford Smith, Dick Har per, and Wilbur Shannon turned up with their catch at the Phi Kappa Psi house yesterday at dusk — nearly a day behind schedule. For nearly 24 hours they hud been “lost” in the mountains. Fern and Flower Procession Annual Oregon Tradition Several Hundred Women, Seniors and Alumnae, To Mareli in Parade » - . A tradition of commencement is the fern and flower procession. Several hundred graduate and senior girls carrying flowers and ferns take part in this ceremony during graduation week-end. The procession is deeply rooted in Oregon tradition. The origin was a secret society of the junior girls organized by Dr. Luella Clay Carson, the first dean of women, in 1S94. The so ciety was called “F. F. F.” and stood for “Fern and Flower Fan atics.” In an attempt to beautify the then barren campus the girls planted maiden hair ferns by the east entrance of Villard. Leila Straub Stafford, Dean Straub’s daughter, and Mrs. J. O. Holt, both of the class of ’01, were chosen leaders. The procession became a real ity in 1900. With a start of about a dozen participants, it has devel oped to its present state. It is particularly significant because it is something absolutely Oregon’s own.

Schmklt Asked To Act as Witness Armour Packing Company Wants Services Emerson P. Schmidt, of the economics department, was asked yesterday if he would be able to serve as expert witness next Oc tober at Washington, D.

Mr. Edward Wentworth, director of Armours’ Livestock Bureau, is ne gotiating with Mr. Schmidt.

It is not cer tain yet whether Mr. Schmidt will go. 55 To Participate In Final Concert; Band Successful Combination To Include All Members of Band And 7 Eugene Men Tennis Courts To Be Scene Of Sunday Concert Playing under a starlit May sky, the University of Oregon band—55 strong at this time will wind up its first outdoor con cert series Sunday night at 7 o’clock. At least, John H. Stehn, direc tor, and the bandsmen hope it will be a starlit night. Rain put the quietus on several earlier efforts to conduct outdoor programs, but for the last three weeks there have been concerts and very suc cessful ones, too. They have been given alternately by the first and second bands, but this Sunday the full band, assisted by seven Eugene musicians will appear. The program is the most interesting yet given, say members. It in cludes a number of popular con cert compositions. "With warmer weather we are expecting the largest audience of the year,” continued the director. Listeners will sit about the lawns by the tennis courts where the band will be seated.

Neither Gobi Desert Nor Canadian Mountains Are as Dangerous as America, Says Chaney Help Get Furnishings For Peters’ Lodge Say A. W. S. All you gals that are Inter ested in helping the A. W. S. get furnishings for Peters’ Lodge on the Willamette river write home to your mothers to day and tell them about the big rummage sale to be held to get money for furnishings at the home of Mrs. George Peters, 1034 Quimby, Portland, within the next two or three weeks. Rummage will be gleefully re ceived by those in charge. Tell your mothers to mail anything they have that will sell to Mrs. Peters and rest in the assur ance of the unbounded grati tude of the A. W. S. Irate Missourian Threatens Paleobotanist With Shotgun; Experience Found Thrilling The Gobi desert, the mountains of northern Canada, or the swampy jungles of Central Amer ica have not presented Dr. Ralph W. Chaney with thrills of danger to equal those he has received in the United States itself. “In fact,” as the professor of paleobotany said yesterday, “I have never experience quite the same element of danger as I did one day in Missouri, when an irate farmer threatened me with a dou ble-barrelled shotgun. We scien tists are supposed to be sort of ec centric anyway, and this farmer taking me for something worse than a tramp ordered me out of the vicinity.” Dr. Chaney,*' now instructor in the University of California, is connected with the Carnegie In 'stitute of Washington, D. C., and he accompanied the Gobi desert expedition of Roy Chapman An drews in 1925. This expedition is remembered for its strange dis covery of dinosaur eggs, and the subsequent sale of the eggs for even fabulous sums—at least, for eggs. "We did not consider the find ing of the eggs so important in itself," Dr. Chaney said; "it was the discovery that they were laid in rings one above the other by the dinosaur that was interesting to scientists, in that it placed the dinosaur definitely in the reptilian group of animals. The Mongols of the region used to, trade the fossils for such items as bars of soap or packages of cigarettes, and, though some of them sold lat er for even as much as $5,000, we were in no rush to stock up on them.” "The common belief that the Gobi desert is a fearfully danger ! ous place is incorrect. During my (Continued on l’uge Three) Woo Rirdio Given Bi oak in Life by Emerald Worker Finding a wee robin forlorn artd abandoned on the campus green, Dave Wilson, veteran news-monger, was seized with sympathy and resolved to give the birdie a break in life by offering it a home and a chance for fame on the Emerald staff. Flustered by the flattering phrases of welcome from the lips of the fair feminine jour nalists as he was carried in state to the copy room in the protecting hands of his new found friend, Master Robin sought refuge In the business office across the hall. He was soon brought from his hiding place and, ns a re sult of his modesty, pronounced too young and inexperienced to enter the hard and fast life of the news game by members of the staff who know. Young Robin was then promptly restored to his anx ious parents waiting outside for the return of their prodigal sen. rrosh Have Hopes Dashed in Meet With OSC Rooks Rooks Hold Slender Lead At Close of Exciting Track Duel Dolloff Stars for Frosh And Rust for Rooks The Oregon State Rook track team proved to be a little better balanced than the Oregon yearling squad in their meet on Hayward field Friday afternoon and the vis itors won the event, 67 to 54. Reg Rust, tow-headed Rook runner, paved the way to victory when he totalled 14 points in four events. Chuck Dolloff proved to be out standing for the locals. The Rooks got off to a good lead in the century when Rust and Moe placed one-two. Bolds was the only Oregon man to place. Rust covered the distance in the fast time of :10 flat. The lead was short-lived, however, as Bob Hall came through in nice fashion to cop the mile. He covered the distance in 4:36.6 and Russ Eddy finished second to him. Dolloff Wins 440 Dolloff ran a beautiful 440 to win in :51 flat. The yearling star started off like he was running the hundred and finished with a great sprint to beat Odell by eight yards. Chapin came through with a leap of 22 feet 3 inches to win the broad jump, but the Rooks got back in the running when Rust won the shot with Davis, another Rook placing second. Only two places were allowed in the high hurdles and both went to Rooks, Dunkin and Curtin. Frank Crissman, Frosh hurdler, placed second, but he was disqualified. He came back later to win the lows in :27 flat. Starr won the 220 over Moe, and Rust and How erton won the high jump at 5 feet 10 inches. Pole Vault Is Tie Mall and Stoddard of the Frosh and Coleman of the Rooks all tied for first in the pole vault at 10 feet 6 inches, and Heath of Ore gon State won the 880 in 2:03.4. The visitors won both the discus and javelin with Davis tossing the platter 130 feet 9 inches, and Ayres hurling the spear 176 feet 9 iriches. Oregon came back strong in the relay. Marrs ran a nice quarter to hand the baton to Criss man with a nice margin. Frank kept the lead, but Lecher lost ground and Dolloff started behind the Rook anchor man. It was nip and tuck until the home stretch, when the Frosh runner opened up his sprint and easily won the event. Summary: 100-yard dash—Rust, O. S. C, first; Moe, O. S.“ C., second; Bolds, Oregon, third. Time :10 flat. Mile run—Hall, Oregon, first; Eddy, Oregon, second; Ackles, O. S. C., third. Time 4:36.6. 440-yard dash- -Dolloff, Oregon, first; Odell, O. S.

The final count revealed that 199 voted in favor of the system while 443 were opposed. Although the fraternity vote was overwhelmingly in opposition to the plan, the independents vot ed better than two to one in fa vor. The Greek vote was 63 for to 377 against, and the independ ent vote 136 for to 66 against. The argument advanced in nearly every ballot in opposition to the deferred pledging system was that it would cause financial hardship on the fraternities. Some reasoned that the plan was not workable, while others believed that it would cause the freshman to lose the year most necessary for receiving fraternity guidance. The arguments in most ballots in favor of deferred pledging ex pressed the belief that the plan was the only one that would give the freshman a fair chance in choosing a fraternity. The fra ternity would also benefit by the opportunity given to look over the freshman during the deferred per iod. The poll closes an investigation of over a month by the Emerald as to campus opinion of the de ferred pledging system.

America Trip Will Make Geographical And Geological Studies After returning from the Ha waiian cruise this summer, Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of the ge ology department, will leave for a four months’ trip to South Amer ica, where he will explore the country formerly occupied by the Incas. “I plan to go down the West coast, cross the Andes to Buenos Aires and up to the northern part of the Argentines into Bolivia," said Dr. Smith. There he will visit the old Inca capital at Cuzco. The purpose of the trip is to make geographical and geological studies, but mainly to get ac quainted with the western part of South America. Dr. Smith plans to return the first of January.
