VOLUME XXXL NUMBER 7 hvans rlai i Sixty Singe ^ ’ On Glee ClL Size of Croups Cut in Half By Conductor; Many Students Try Out Choruses Start Practicing For Pledge Assembly; List Given The 60 student singers who suc cessfully passed the preliminary trials for admission to the men’s and women’s glee clubs of the Uni versity were announced yesterday by John Stark Evans, conductor. In order not to duplicate the work of the large polytechnic choir, conducted by Arthur Board man, Mr. Evans cut the number of singers in each of the glee clubs from last year’s figure of 55 to 30. This meant that more than half of the 125 students who tried out had to be eliminated. The first intensive practice was held last night, and the clubs im mediately began work on their part of the traditional “Pledge day” assembly program which will be held soon. Although for the most part the men’s and women’s clubs will work separately, they will join togeth er as a choir in presenting the St. Cecilia Mass just before the Christmas holidays, and again in a joint program with the Univer sity orchestra, to be held during the winter term. Names Announced The list of the two clubs fol lows: Men: Herbert Doran, Adrian Burris, Kenneth Allen, Kenneth Kienzle, Dean Beistel, John Mc Mullen, Harold King, Gifford Nash, Joe Gerot, all of Eugene; Thurston Shell, Wallowa; Harry Eide, Astoria; Donald Eva, Port land; Charles Lane, Aberdeen, Wn.; Robert Tollefsen, Central Point; Jack Allard, Portland, Lio nel Lane, Portland; Jon Conder, Heppner; Wesley Steinmetz, Port land; Melvin Hieber, Vernonia; Thomas Johnson, Hood River; John McCulloch, Portland; George Harrington, Long Beach, Cal.; George Bishop, Portland; Jack Bauer, Portland; James Rodda, Portland; Charles Aetzel, Olym pia, Wn.; Edward Fisher, Saleih; Fred Calef, Monmouth; Rolla Reedy, Pendleton; James Gilbaugh, Portland; Ernest Swanton, Marsh field; Glenn Parker, Portland; Rolf Bodding, Portland; Lauren Buel, Tillamook.

Two men guarded the only gate that was unlocked. The cold blue eye of Tommy Williams, chunky gen eral manager of the team, recog nized for admittance only a few select individuals such as Profes sors H. C. Crosland and W. F. G. Thacher. The field was in excellent condi tion. A crisp fall chill in the air was inducive to fast action and a general friskiness among the play ers. Doc Spears and assistant coach es drove the men through a series of fast breaking, hard to solve for mations. A stiff hour of scrim mage wound up the practice. All of the plays taught by the canny and balloon-like doctor start the same way. But there are a lot of variations that bewilder second string men even when they know the possibilities. Not much more can be said, by this writer anyway, because he wasn’t able to get in last night. Hayward field will be about as hard to enter as a communist con vention during practice sessions from now on until the big Duck vs. Husky battle at Portland is over. Frosh Will Elect Officers at Polls In Yillard Today Ten Yearlings in Running; House Campaigning Remains Quiet The freshman class will elect of ficers today. The polls will be opened at 10 o’clock this morning, and immediately after the polls are closed at 3 o’clock, the ballots will be counted. The ballot boxes will be set up in Villard hall, and the voting will be done by secret ballot by the same method used in student body elections. During the final day of cam paigning no changes were reported in any of the three parties. The campaign was one of the quietest that has been held by in coming freshman classes. The political fates of the follow ing candidates will rest in the hands of today’s freshman voters. John Kendall, Portland, presi dent; Irene Waltz, Portland, vice president; Joan Cox, Portland; sec retary; and Jim Ferguson, Pen dleton, treasurer. Dick DePittard, McMinnville, president; Billie Eastman, Silver ton, vice-president; Louise Bar clay, Portland; and Bob DeGraff, Portland, treasurer. Ray Clapp, Portland, president; Kenneth McKenzie, Tillamook, vice-president. Bill Whitely, vice-president of the student body, who is in charge of the election, has appointed the following freshmen to serve on the election board, from 10 to 11, Fred Ahern and Rosemary Walker; from 11 to 12, Don Cross and Mary Helen Corbett; from 12 to 1, Laura Druary and Bill Douthit; from 1 to 2, Hazel Fields and Roy McCul len; from 2 to 3, George Turner and Charles White. Concert Bands W ill Replace Symphonies, Thinks Stehn Are symphonic orchestras doom- ■ ed some day to give way to con cert bands? Will future Sousas hold premier music rank in place of the Hoogstratens ? This is likely, believes John H. Rtehn, director of the University of Oregon band. He has had inten sive experience with bands in Iowa and middle eastern states where the band has reached far more musical importance than in the West. He backed up his contention in a recent interview, with an array of arguments—chief among them was that the band has far greater variety of tone color. “The band is a comparatively new and undeveloped organization for which instruments have only recently been perfected and good music not yet written,” he de clared. "On the other hand, the instruments of the symphonic or chestra have been in their present state of high development for a long time and great musicians have written for the orchestra.” The fault with most present bands, Mr. Stehn asserted, is that they do not use full families of in struments. “There is no concert band today constructed on the full family basis. But music is just lately being written for such a band. Carl Busch, of Kansas City, is leading the field in such work,” he said, explaining that the clari net family has almost the same facility and range as the stringed family. America’s place in the evolution of the band is a foremost one, he j believes. "American bands.—of ; which the Long Beach municipal, Goldman’s and the three military bands, especially the U. S. Marine band, are outstanding—are as good I (Continued on Page Four) The "President’s Own” Band Here Tuesday University of Oregon students will have an opportunity to hear this hand in McArthur court next Tuesday, where it will play a mixed program of classical and modern music. This is the first time in 20 years that the band has toured in the Pacific Northwest. "Emerald of the Air” Opened By Song and Music of Editor _ Ttvice-a-tveek Programs to Continue During the School Year By DAVE EYRE Quite appropriately, Vinton Hall, editor of the Emerald, opened the first “KORE-Oregon Daily Emer ald of the Air” program last night, not only with an announcement of the purpose of the broadcasts for the year, but with a little musical patter and song that brought in phone calls from all parts of the campus. He proved his ability as an entertainer as well as an editor. Following his opening ditty, which he called ‘‘You've Gotta Know How to Love ’Em,” Hall gave a brief talk concerning the purpose of the programs. Said Editor Hall: "We are con tinuing these programs primarily because we believe they are ap preciated. They are representa tive of campus talent and are put on wholly by students who enjoy the work and who are immensely interested in the promotion of radio entertainment for University people and town-folk.” Hall then turned the microphone over to Art Potwin, director of the broadcast!}, and his assistant, Chet Knowlton. Potwin and Knowlton introduced the perform ers for the broadcast. A snappy girls’ trio that would require television to be thoroughly appreciated drew highest honors on the program. Maxine Glover, Sally Halloway, and Marvin Jane Hawkins were the three to har monize on “Easy to Fall in Love,” “Happy Feet,” and other popular tunes of the day. “Sing” Harper drew a big hand with his “Wliat’s the Use” and "Japanese Sand man.” Louise Marvin did some excellent tap dancing with Jane Fales at the piano. One of the highlights of the eve ning was Maxine Glover's little act in blues work. “Exactly Like You” and “Nobody Cares” were given in true “Ruth Etting” style. Carolyn Haberlach was back at the keyboard of the studio grand with some very pretty solo num bers. A newcomer on the cam pus, Alice Wedemeyer, sang “Lit tle White Lies” in a manner that is a credit to the freshman class. (Continued on Page Three) Accredited Bible Course Offered Dr. Smith, M. E. Pastor To Teach Class The Wesley club, organization of Methodist University students, is offering an accredited course on “Studies in the New Testament” each Sunday morning of this term at 9:45 at the church. Dr. Roy Leslie Smith, minister of the First Methodist church, is teacher for the course, which is accredited nationally and interna tionally by the International Coun cil of Religious Education. Those who attend regularly and take notes will receive a certificate en titling them to one credit in schools of religion. Another course in religion which is also accredited will be offered in the same manner winter term. Spring term, Miss Dorothy A.

He will speak Monday at 9 o'clock. “Ed Bailey and I were in the University at the same time,” said Mr. Ray, “and when I undertake to explain the causes and trends in Oregon political life I intend to turn aside for a few minutes to pay a tribute to those teachers of political science and economics who helped form our minds.” An invitation has been sent to Albert Streiff, candidate of the Socialist party, to expound his po sition to the same audience that will have heard the case for Met schan, Meier, and Bailey. sistant professor of law is conduct ing a survey of the crime situation ir Oregon, left Eugene yesterday.

Time Limit Is Extended by Associated W,omert By special arrangement with Tommy Luke, Portland florist, the Associated Women Students have been able to extend the closing date for the chrysanthemum sale from Friday noon to Monday. Or ders must be in to Tommy Luke the first of the week so that he may get the flowers in time for the Oregon - Washington game Saturday, October 18. Orders will be taken by repre sentatives in living organizations, the Co-op, and McMorran and Washburne’s until 6 p. m., Mon day when all money must be turn ed in to Ann Baum at Susan Campbell hall. The plan being used this year for the sale of 'mums for out-of town games involves the taking of orders and cash payments by rep resentatives in the various houses. Students will present their receipts on the day of the game at Tommy Luke’s, Sixth and Alder, Portland, and receive the kind of flower they paid for. Chrysanthemums are being sold a* four prices. Small ones may be | bought for 50 cents, and larger ones at 75 cents. Those for $1 have a small green "O” in the cen ter, while really "ritzy” ones at $1.50 have small yarn dolls decor ating the center of the ’mum. Response to the sale, a tradi tional activity of the A. W. S., has been very encouraging, according to Miss Baum and Alexis Lyle. Proceeds from the four such sales which will be put on by the A. W. S. this year will be put in the in ! firmary fund. The wearing of chrysanthemums has become one of the traditions of Oregon football games, and this year the girls will wear them in the rooting section to carry out a I stunt between halves. Cat Doesn’t Know About Dissection! WRIOSITY Is said to have ‘ killed a cat, but a certain little grey feline was nearly sent to the place where all good cats go through plain, ordinary hunger, yesterday noon. He was very, very hungry. Whiffs of cooking food floated across the street from the Col lege Side and tiekled his nose temptingly. He decided that he would investigate this smell. Stepping off the curb, he made his way across the street. A car full of students saw the cat and stopped to let it go by. The man in the car behind didn't see the cat. He barely missed wrecking his car against the first. The cat didn't know tills, tint went serenely on. That wasn’t enough danger for him—no, sir! He started to visit campus buildings und when last seen was heading to ward the biology lab. Poor lit tle cat!

Hal Fraundorf NamedToHead Homecoming Annual Rally and Bonfire Will Be Held Friday Preceding Game Campus Luncheon Planned For Saturday Noon; Events Outlined Hal Fraundorf, senior in busi ness administration, is chairman of Homecoming this fall. His ap pointment was announced yester day by George Cherry, A. S. U. O. president. Arrangements for the week-end are already under way; and Fraundorf plans to appoint his di rectorate within the next few days. In naming Fraundorf to head the work of Homecoming this year, Cherry said, “Homecoming is the most significant event of the year and requires the most able man available for chairman. Fraundorf Active “Fraundorf’s participation in campus activities has always ex emplified the highest type of effi ciency. His ideas, experience and ability to assume /responsibility which have marked his past work as highly successful, will be inval uable to the Homecoming plans of this year. The week-end of November 7, 8, and 9, is the one set aside for welcoming back the alumni this fall. Saturday afternoon Oregon will meet U. C. L. A. on Hayward field, and the big Homecoming dance is scheduled for Saturday evening. Friday will be marked by the annual rally, bonfire and downtown parade. The campus luncheon, at which several thous and people will be served, is planned for Saturday noon, just before the game. Fraundorf has outlined a week end fully as crammed with events in honor of the alumni as the Homecomings of previous years. ^ Everything will center around the desire of the undergraduates to , have the old grads back on the campus, and to show them a good time while they are here. t i I l i i I l i p c p More Than Football In speaking of the Homecoming spirit, Fraundorf said last night: “It is our hope that this year Homecoming will be not merely a football game with a few incident al social contacts. “This year my plan is to empha size the true Homecoming spirit —to revive the memories of former years, to stimulate renewal of old acquaintances among the alumni and between alumni and faculty, and to promote contacts between the Homecoming visitors and the student generation of today. One of the regrets of visiting alumni is often their failure to get into close touch with the student life, and we hope that everything Ore gon men and women can do to strengthen the ties between the old students and those of our gen eration will be done." On Week-end Directorate Fraundorf, in addition to two years’ experience on Homecoming committees, served on the junior week-end directorate last spring, handling arrangements for the wa (Continued on Page Three) Treetop, Syncopating Shoe Shiner, Wins Campus Favor By WILLIS DUNIWAY A southbound Southern Pacific freight train ground to a stop in the Eugene yards late in the eve ning of September 25 and the cam pus acquired its most interesting and versatile personality in recent years. Treetop, six feet three of bari tone syncopation, dropped from his vantage point on the gondola car he had ridden from Portland and made his way uptown. No ride over the mountains for him that night it was too cold. Forty cents were in the pockets of this colored vagabond, who has gone through life with a smile and a song, but Eugene looked good to him and he stayed. Especially when he met an old buddy on Wil lamette street and heard that the Log Cabin shoe shining shop next to the Colonial theatre was vacant and could be rented. Treetop went into debt for the stand but with school getting under way things soon were looking up. When it comes to shining shoes, Treetop is something new and dif ferent. For he sings as he shines and he pops his polishing rags in time to the music to give an effect of tap-dancing. Moanin’ bleus are his specia'ty and it’s not infrequent I that his customers get in the spir j it of the occasion and join in the ! songs with him. “Look down, look down, that lonesome road,” Treetop will croon and the rag in his hands beats a steady staccato on the shoes in front of him. Then it. will be “Come Along, little children, come along,” and he’s off on a new rhythm. Popping shoe shining rags in time to music comes naturally to him, Treetop says. He is one of the few (Continued on Page Two)
