Thielsen, Eva and Fisher To Sing in 6St. Cecilia Mass’ Performance To Be Given In Music Auditorium Next Sunday Nancy Thielsen, Edward Fisher, and Donald Eva will be the soloists in the “St. Cecilia Mass,” to be given at the music auditorium next Sunday afternoon by the Univer sity glee clubs, it was announced yesterday by John Stark Evans, director. These three singers were soloists in last year’s production of the “St. Cecilia,” and the excellence of their performance is recalled by those who attended at that time. Sunday’s concert will mark the eleventh consecutive year that a University chorus has presented Gounod’s beaut iful mass at Christmas time under the baton of Mr. Evans. This is the fourth year with the glee clubs, formerly known as the University choir, for Miss Thiel sen and Mr. Fisher, both of whom were featured soloists two years ago when the choir went to Port land for a concert with the Port land Symphony orchestra. In the “St. Cecilia” Miss Thiel sen will sing the soprano roles; Fisher the baritone, and Eva the tenor. The performance, which will take the place of the usual Sun day afternoon vespers program in the music auditorium will start at 4 o’clock and will be free to stu dents and the public.

STILLMAN SUGGESTS DIFFERENT NAME (Continual from Cope One) eradication of trouble encountered The standards as set by the tests also enable the professors to check upon their own efforts. If a large number of students are not coming up to the standards that the tests show them capable of do ing. the professor, by careful in vestigation is able to determine where the weakness in his teach ing may lie and thus be enabled to correct the fault. Professor Stillman picked out a name at random from the scores earned by a student in his various aptitude tests, including the busi ness ad test. The scores earned by the student in all the tests were far below the average; upon turn ing to the files it was found that the student had withdrawn from school. Another name was chosen that showed an above-the-average rating, but the records also showed that during high school he had done only moderately well; a Check upon his business adminis tration work showed him doing two-plus work, indicating that while he had not applied himself in high schi>ol, he was actually ca pable of doing far above the aver age work in the field for which he lius an aptitude.

Oregon’s Poems Wanted for Book Mrs. A. H. Ernst To Select Verses for Class The University of Oregon has been invited to be represented in the “Collegiate Anthology,” which is being compiled at Washington and Lee university, at Lexington, Virginia. Dean Eric W. Allen, Chairman of the publications com mittee, who received the invitation, has turned the matter of selection of material over to Mrs. Alice Han son Ernst, who has a class in ver sification. Six or seven poems of serious na ture will be selected from publica- j tions of the last three or four j years. During the past four years the versification class has partici pated in a number of publications. Three years ago it edited a column of the Emerald entitled “Perad venture.” One year this class edit ed a page in the Webfoot, a cam pus publication. Last year the versification class 1 edited a number of the Troubadour, I a magazine published in San Diego. Besides these miscellaneous op portunities for publishing their work, the versification class every year contributes something to the Oregana and to “Old Oregon.” \ Article by Dunn Appears In the Masonic Analyst The Masonic Analyst for Decem ber contains an article by Profes sor F.

The awarding of the No'oel prize for literature is not, in my opinion, an insult to Amer ica,” said S. Stephenson Smith, as sociate professor of English, when asked for his opinion of the state ment of the Princeton university man who said, “The award of the Nobel prize to the author of ‘Main Street,’ ‘Elmer Gantry,’ ’Arrow smith,' and the rest of those novels that scoff at America and its tra ditions is an insult.” “The Swedish judges,” continued Professor Smith, “recognized in Lewis’ books the America they be lieve is typical but which is in reality only the surface appear ance of American small towns- a very satirized and mimicked rep resentation. "A committee of American crit ics,” he continued, “would prob ably have selected either Willa Cather or Theodore Dreiser as the "most outstanding. But neither Willa Cather's moving nor Drei ser’s solid style are so adapted to translation as Lewis’. It is rather j difficult to transfer either Dreiser , or Cather to another language, but satire is effective in any lan guage and Lewis is without peer as a satirist and mimic. He sets ! out to make fun of, sneer at tra ditions, and he certainly does a , yeoman job of it.” A four-line piece of doggerel | verse from Professor Smith’s book, “Craft of the Critic," which will be published soon by Thomas Y. Crowell company, best illustrates Professor Smith’s idea of the type of subject selected by Lewis: “Tin can alley back of Main street, j Symbol of our small town cul ture, Run by women, clubs, and churches | And by Business, that Stuffed Vulture. ’ WHAT SHOW TONIGHT? Heilig -“Escape,” with Gerald Du Maurier. Drama. Colonial—“Anybody's Woman,” with Ruth Chatterton. Drama. McDonald—“The B i g Trail.” Drama. Galsworthy Play at Heilig “Escape,” one of the most pop ular play3 from the pen of John Galsworthy, England’s most fa mous litterateur, has been made into a talking picture. Its first showing is scheduled for today at the Heilig theatre. The script in play form was pre sented last season by the Guild Theatre Players, with Arthur Gray and Nancy Thielsen in the lead parts. With Gerald Du Maurier, stage star, in the leading role as the prisoner, the movie treatment does justice to Galsworthy. * * * Chatterton at Colonial Ruth Chatterton wears two wigs in “Anybody's Woman,” current attraction at the Colonial theatre today and tomorrow. The wigs tell their own story of her trans formation of character in the de velopment of the film story. One of the wigs is “peroxide blonde,” \ which she wears when she is a cheap little social outcast, and the other is the properly cut and hued hair of a woman of culture and respectability. Clive Brook is co starred with her in the produc tion. McDonald Show Impressive “The Big Trail,” playing at the McDonald theatre today, is one of the finest epics yet filmed. Seeing its extraordinary photographic ef fects is like viewing magnificent landscapes painted by great art ists. One sees in the film the great trek of the covered wagon to the West coast, sees all the hardships, the little humours, the great tragic ironies that beset the pioneer. Truly a great picture, made greater than the “Covered Wagon" by proportion, sound, and im proved photographic artistry. Alpha Delta Sigma Will Hear Advertising Man Alpha Delta Sigma, national ad vertising honorary for men, will hold a meeting at the College Side Inn Wednesday noon. Elmer Byrne, advertising mana , ger of the Eugene Register-Guard Dartmouth Man To Talk Monday | 'Tradition and Modernism’ Topic for Lecture Dr. Wilbur M. Urban, professor of philosophy at Dartmouth col-! lege, will be the speaker of the first of a series of lectures provid- ■ ed by the committee on free intel-: lectual activities taking place next Monday evening, December 8, at 8 o'clock in alumni hall of Gerling er building, according to Dr. H. G. Townsend, chairman of the com mittee which is sponsoring the lec ture series. "Tradition and Modernism” is* the topic on which Dr. Urban will speak. This subject should appeal to all students of philosophy and related subjects, such as literature and social science, Dr. Townsend believes. This is the first of a series of lectures provided under the new arrangement, in which it is not the purpose of the committee to draw a large audience, including a num ber of * uninterested people, but rather it is believed that each lec ture will attract the students and faculty members that are especial ly interested. and associate member of the chap ter, will speak on “Advertising As pects of the Recent Consolidation of the Register-Guard.” Harry Van Dine, active member ol the honorary, will be the other speaker and will talk on “Outdoor Advertising.” Van Dine won a scholarship last summer and work ed with the Foster and Kleiser company in Portland. A business meeting will precede the speeches. All members and as sociate members are requested to be present.

STEPPING INTO A MODERN WORLD 6-ton reels of cable distributed with the speed of perishable food A carload of telephone poles laid down a thou sand miles away within 36 hours after getting the order! Rush calls of this sort must fre quently be handled by Western Electric, dis tributors for the Bell System. But even more remarkable is the regular day by day flow of telephone supplies. The Chicago warehouse—one of 32 in the national system— handles 1,400 orders a day. In 1929morethan $400,000,000 worth of equipment and materials was delivered to the telephone companies.
