UNIVERSITY CHOIR TO OFFER ST.CECILIA MASS FOR SUNDAY VESPERS AT MUSIC HALL Pageant To End International T Week Program Two Productions of Annual Event To Be Given Today At Gerlinger Building Dances and Folk Songs of Various Nationalities In Nine Acts By GEORGE ROOT “Would you like to see my sketch book?” This one small statement spoken by Mac Miller, in the guise of an artist, to his friend, Slug Palmer, in a studio setting of easels and oil paintings, brings a series of V colorful glimpses of foreign coun tries with their distinguishing dances and tuneful folk songs in the third annual International week’s highlight, the Parade of Nations, to be presented this af ternoon at 3 o’clock and again this evening at 8 in the women’s gym of the Gerlinger building. The pageant, which is under the direction of Arthur Markewitz and Louise Webber, calls forth talent from every nationality represented on the campus. Traveler Describes World The scene opens in the studio of an artist recently returned from a trip around the world who is sum moned by his friend to describe his Stravels. With the aid of a mam moth sketch book, which contains cleverly drawn^ caricatures, he Summons one by one the series of countries and peoples with their songs, dances and costumes. First appear the native Hawai ians playing and singing their plaintive songs of far-away Ha ^ waii. Archy Fryer, Henry Kaahea, and George Robertson supply the “atmosphere.” Going north toward Manchuria the first stop is at Korea where Eetty Davis interprets the pictur esque country in native costume. In Manchuria the effect of the Oc cident upon the orient in its mu sic is shown by Michael Haimo vitch, Russian pianist. Songs, Dances on Program j After swinging south to the Phil ippines where native boys sing, | the next stop is Europe and the gypsy islands of the Mediterranean, j A band of gypsy dancers is lis- ! tened in on before moving up to j Spain. Here a real Castilian j dance is under way with Elva Ba ker as the center of interest. Bob Knox will present the adagio. Christmas carols sung in the na tive tongue by a German chorus sound the welcome for the arrival in Germany. Holland, just across the way, puts in her bid for notice t with a characteristic and clever wooden-shoe dance. The ensemble is made up of Katherine Bisbee, Dorothy McMillan, Genevieve Clark, and Katherine Duer. Negro Spirituals Sung Back in the United States there is a short stop at New York’s Ghetto for a song or two before turning to the South. Here negro spirituals and a tap dance by Joe Lillard add their touch of Ameri (Continued on Pape Three) % .. / /oodyGotAny Skirts To Loan? A FTER searching the campus high and low and in all the crooks and crannies of all avail able attics, the committee ar ranging the International Week pageant for this afternoon and evening still need some costumes and are appealing to anyone and everyone who could supply them to help them out in this pinch. Needed are: Two bright-colored full skirts. Two velvet or otherwise Dutch jackets, the kind that lace up the front. That’s all, but it’s extremely important to the pageant that these costumes be obtained. Anyone who has any answering the description that they would be willing to loan are asked to call Mary Wilburn at 1317. Hall Will Return Thursday From Hawaiian Islands President Derives Health Benefits From Surf And Climate Shortening his stay in Honolulu an entire week, Dr. Arnold Bennett. Hall, president of the University, sailed from Hawaii Thursday and will arrive in San Francisco Wed nesday. He plans to come north immediately and will reach Eugene some time Thursday. Dr. Hall left November 6 intend ing to remain away from the cam pus for six weeks due to doctors’ orders. During the summer he was busy reorganizing the administra tive staff, and this combined with illness in the family, prevented him from taking a vacation. Four weeks of the six were to be spent in Ha waii resting and enjoying the warm surf, but his change in plans will cut his vacation a week short. Letters that have been received by Mrs. Marian Ager, secretary to the president, indicate a most en joyable time on the islands and a great improvement in his physical condition. Salem Extension Attendance High Five Subjects Attract 92 Students This Term Ninety-two students were en rolled in Salem extension classes for the first term, and the per centage of regular attendance has been higher than during any oth er term since the commencement of classes four years ago. At present the University is of fering to Salem people classes in five different subjects: psychology, from Miss Celia Hager; art, from Professor Zane; education, from Superintendent George Hug of the Salem public schools; magazine writing, from Professor Alex Hull of the Portland extension faculty; and 20th century literature from Stephenson Smith of the English department. Life May Yet Be Found On Meteors9 Says Dr. Packard That life may yet be discovered ! on meteor fragments was the hope ful comment made yesterday by i Dr. Earl L. Packard,, professor of geology. In a recent news story, | Dr. George Frederick Kunz, a ! scientist representing the Ameri can museum of Natural History, 1 stated that after studying 850 me teors he had found no signs of plants, animals, shells, or fossil forms. “It is not surprising that no liv ing thing has been found on me teors," said Dr. Packard. “In the first place these fragments have been flying around through the at- 1 mosphere for perhaps millions or even billions of years after leaving comets or other members of our solar system or some other solar ^ system. If there had been life on these fragments in the beginning,, it could hardly be expected to re main during- all that time. “Secondly, if time did not kill all life, it would seem that the var ious conditions of temperature cer tainly would. The range of degrees probably runs between one or two thousand down as low as 275 be low zero. When the meteor comes within the earth’s atmosphere it 'comes against such tremendous friction that it is set glowing and becomes partially fused on the out side. “Despite these factors we may possibly find life on a meteor even yet. This would depend on certain conditions that the Jiving form was of large enough size, and that it was buried down deep in the heart or the fragment. If the meteor fell on Mecury or Jupiter it would certainly have no chance to hold anything living, but falling on Mars, or the Earth, life on meteors is conceivable. Fearless Thinking Essential In Promotion of World Peace J Mrs. Kehler Stresses Need \)f Education in Lecture On War Eternal’ “War is eternal unless we can refashion and reorganize our so cial organizations,” stated Mrs. Keith Ransom-Kehler, author and peace worker, last night in her lec ture, “Is War Eternal?” "War is not eternal if we learn to reason our way through to a conclusion. We must become men and women of good will. War will be eternal unless we can train a band of men and women to rise and demand the accepted ideas upon which all our thinking is based in whatever field.” The theme of her address was that the world must be organized h—— for mutual welfare and not for conflict. She pointed out several ways of promoting peace. To do this there must be a relationship between nations, and a removal of issues from politics to their legal aspects. “We must educate this new gen eration to fearless thinking. We must think our way through and dispense with conflicts. If we cap ture men's minds we don’t have to capture men's bodies. "We must organize our thinking so that when the next great epoch Is made there will be a sufficient body of fearless and clear thinking people who will say ‘no’ and will settle It rationally. A development of a critical faculty is necessary. We must have a re-education of the heart and mind to recognise humanity as a function.” Concert Series Open to Holders Of Student Cards Robnett Explains Workings Of Fund Which Brings Musicians Here “It is regrettable that there are so many students on the campus who do not yet understand that all the concerts which will be given in McArthur court this winter un der the auspices of the associated students are free to all holders of student body cards.’’ So said Ronald Robnett, assist ant graduate manager, yesterday, in discussing the plans for the two piano concert to be given in the court next Tuesday evening, De cember 9, by Guy Maier and Lee Pattison. Posters Mislead Some “Many students get the impres sion that they will be charged ad mission for these concerts from the pothers advertising them which are put up around the campus and downtown. The posters state ♦there tickets may be purchased, t>ut this information is for towns people and faculty members, who must pay their way.” Free admission to students is made possible, Robnett explained, by a concert fund of- about $4000 Which is made up of 50 cents taken from each student’s term registra tion fee. The creation of this fund wa3 voted by the students several years ago in order to bring to the campus the highest types of pro fessional musicians, who ordinarily would not come to a city the size of Eugene. On Farewell Tour Maier and Pattison, who will open this year’s series, are indis putably the world’s foremost two piano duetists. They have been associated for 12 years, and after building up an international repu tation, are now on their farewell tour. On January 21, Nathan Milstein, brilliant young Russian violinist, will appear in the second concert of the series. Florence Austral, soprano, will be here on February 5, and the Portland symphony or chestra on February 22. The se ries will be concluded in April by a joint concert of the University symphony orchestra and the glee clubs. Eight P. E. Instructors At Longview Convention Eight instructors from the phy sical education department left late yesterday afternoon for the Washington Physical Education as sociation at Longview today. The local group, one of four sent by the Oregon Physical Education as sociation, was composed of Paul R. Washke, E. R. Knollin, Earl Bouchey, Russ Cutler, H. B. Hun saker, Miss Florence Alden, Miss Harriet W. Thomson, Miss Margar et M. Duncan, and Miss Marjorie B. Forchemer. The Oregon representation was arranged by Robert Krohn of Port land, who is head of the Oregon association. Other centers sending delegates were Corvallis, Salem, and Portland. An instructive pro gram has been arranged, general physical education topics being dis cussed as well as various intra mural programs. 4Hell, and Way Out’ Shown in Movie League of Nations Picture Presented During International Week Denounces War * “Hell, and the Way Out” was the subject of a motion picture presented in the assembly hall of Villard last night, as a feature of International week. The picture presented an outline of the work ings and history of the League of Nations, and gave a striking por trayal of the accomplishments and purposes of that organization. The story of Hell was the story of the World war, and something of the grief and anguish brought about by that conflict was vividly portrayed in the picture as a pre* lude to the events which were to bring about the formation of the League of Nations. The way out of this chaos into which the world was flung in 1914 was portrayed as the path to which the league is pointing at the present time. The formation and membership of'the organization were explained to portray to the public the amaz ing precision by which the nations of the world brought about the creation of such a ponderous body. The part that the United States played in tjie formation of the league was clearly shown. The different departments of the league were illustrated, and a por trayal was given of how the or ganization functions when assem bled at Geneva in regular session. By historical examples it was shown that the league can act with rapidity and effect, and that it has already illustrated its effec tiveness in its management of several international disputes that have come up since the World war. The picture was an appeal to America to cast aside its prejudice against the league and to take part in the great increment which its statesmen have had such a large part in starting. Phi Beta To Hold Initiation Today Six Will Be Made Members At Westminster House Phi Beta, women’s national pro fessional fraternity of music and drama, will initiate four active members and two associate mem bers this afternoon at Westminster house.

Original Number By Con Hammond To Be Broadcast ‘Emerald of Air’ Program To Present New Piece Sunday Night Outstanding among the headlin ers of Sunday night’s “Oregon Daily Emerald of the Air" pro gram, broadcast from the College Side Inn over station KORE, will be a brand new number, “Snuggle Up and Love,” written by Con Hammond. Hammond will make the first public presentation of this number in the form of a piano ar rangement, and the new tune promises to win favorable campus attention, as it has already proved popular with those few who have been granted special audiences. Bob Goodrich, Kelsey Slocum, and Johnny Smedberg, boys’ trio and new addition to the staff of Emerald artists, will hold a promi nent place on the radio hour. Num bers a Ja Rhythm Boys that they will harmonize ott include "The Bluebirds and the Blackbirds” and "Nobody’s Sweetheart." “Three Little Words" and “Bye Bye Blues" will present a different in terpretation of modern music that the boys have not yet attempted to sing. The Kappa trio, scheduled for last Thursday night's program ljut unavoidably delayed, are expected to do a pleasant bit of note piec ing. Janet Thacher, Lois Conover, and Betty Hudson compose the or gamzation. The Parlor Propagandists, Bar ney Miller and Willie Johnston, will make their last appearance before the microphone for this term. However, one of their 1931 resolutions will call for "bigger and better "dirt” for the ears of the University, and the boys will be back on the first broadcast of the new year. The Emerald Entertainers, Dale Brown, Wilbur Thibault, Bruce Higby, and Sheldon Dunning, will provide the music between the spe cial apts. This tea hour radio program will be broadcast from 6 to 7 o’clock Sunday night. Art Potwin is chief announcer and director for the Em erald hours, and Chet Knowlton is his assistant. Emerald Shows Increase In Classified Advertising — Rapid growth of the Emerald’s classified advertising section has led to arrangement of the material each day under separate headings, so that similar ads are grouped together in the column. Dorothy Hughes, classified advertising manager, is in charge of the de partment, which has increased in the past two months from one or two ads per day to a daily aver age of nine or ten. The Colonial theatre is still swarding one free pass every day to readers of the column, according to Miss Hughes. The name of the winner appears among the adver tisements. ‘St Cecilia’ To Be Sung Sunday In Auditorium University Choir, Willi 80 Voives, To Give Annual Presentation of Mass Nancy Thiel sen, Edward Fisher, Donald Eva To Take Solo Parts The University choir of 80 voices, made up of the combined men's and women's glee clubs, will sing Gounod’s “St. Cecilia Mass” at the music auditorium Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the elev enth annual presentation of the traditional campus music program. John Stark Evans, director of the choir, will play the organ accom paniment for the singing and lead the choristers from the console. Three students, Nancy Thielsen, Edward Fisher, and Donald Eva, will be the soloists in tomorrow's presentation of "The St. Cecilia,” singing the soprano, baritone, and tenor leads, respectively. The singers were soloists in last year’s production of Gounod's mass and scored a decided hit. First Sung in 1920 University glee clubs, now incor porated in the choir, first sang the mass in 1920, and the presentation of the program before the Christ mas holidays each successive year has met with growing popularity. Sunday's rendering of the mass will be the only one given this year, according to Mr. Evans. In previous years "The St. Cecilia” has been sung by the University choir at two different occasions. Expected to Draw Crowd The mass is expected to draw a large crowd to the music audito rium early tomorrow afternoon, for last year several hundred peo ple arriving late were unable to find seats in the small hall which accommodates only 600 persons. "The St. Cecilia” was written by Gounod, a French composer, in the nineteenth century, in honor of St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music. The mass has many well-known solo parts, and the Christmas chor ale as a whole is a thing of beauty. Students and the general public are welcome at the presentation of the program. There will be no admission charge. Philomelete Plans Christmas Party Hobby Croups Will Put on Affair This Afternoon The Philomelete Christmas party, to which all members of hobby groups and girls interested in them are invited, will be held from 2:30 to 5 this afternoon. The program will consist of group singing of Christmas carols, and several musical selections. Refreshments will be served by the Woman and Her Sphere group. The program is being handled by the Music hobby group and the decorations by the Nature group. Marguerite Mauzey, president of Phi Theta Upsilon, upperclass service honorary, is general chair man for the event. Dorothy Hal lin and Dorothy Kirk are assisting her. A group of girls have been ap pointed to act as hostesses. Among them are the presidents of all the hobby groups and the members of the Charm School group. New Instrument Able To Find High Factors An instrument known as the factor stencils and used for the determination of the factors of numbers running up into the mil lions has been demonstrated at the last two mathematics seminars. The device consists of a number of sheets with both diagonal and vertical punched holes in it and labeled 1, -1, 2, -2, and so forth. When these are placed one on top of the other in a box with a glass top, and a light caused to shine through from the bottom, the numbers are taken from the sheets, and by means of an equa tion the primacy or factors of a number are determined.

Webfoot Hoop Team To Open Season Tonight Multnomah Club’s Quintet To Show Against Ducks On Igloo Floor nt 8 Reinhart Will Start Strong Outfit Against Ray Brook’s Five The initial effort on the part of the Oregon basketball team to show what they are going to do in the way of winning games this year will come to the front to night at the Igloo at 8 o’clock, when Coach Reinhart sends his speedy quintet against Ray Brooks’ undefeated Multnomah club five. The veteran head Webfoot, Reinhart, indicated that he would send his. strongest lineup against the Club men, with lettermen comprising the starting combina tion. “This game, though it is the first of the season, will be played in the same way as any other game. Wa are starting off the season in real style and intend to finish it in real style,’’ said Rein hart last night, as he sent his squad through a light workout. Club Team Undefeated There is no doubt but that Mult nomah club will give the Web foots plenty of competition. Brooks' men have gone through a number of games already, and have succeeded in copping a win in every game, defeating the vaunted B'nai B'rith five last Sat urday by a small margin. The sharp shooting of such stars as Franny Andrews, "Andy” Bol stead, and Jerry Gunther, who used to show the rest of the coast conference how to make points for Oregon, is ample proof that Rein hart’s cohorts will face a lineup that will be plenty hard to beat. On the other hand, the Webfoot mentor will have something to say about the game himself, figura tively, as he intends to “get the jump” on the Clubbers. The fast style of play used by Oregon is something that always keeps the outcome of the game in doubt, re gardless of whether they are be hind near the end of the game. In fact, Oregon has established a sort of habit in winning games during the last minute. Regulars to Start To bolster the offensive strength of the starting lineup, Reinhart will probably use Jean Eberhart as a sure starter for center; Billy Keenan, blond midget, and Vince Dolp, who beats gol| stars in his spare time, as forwards; and Ker mit Stevens and Hank Levoff, rug ged guards Max Rubenstein, diminutive for ward; Cap Roberts, big center, Windy Calkins, Wally Boyle and Cliff Horner are almost sure to see action also, with a host of capable reserves held in readiness. Tentative lineup: Oregon Multnomah Keenan .F. Andrews Dolp .F. Cherry Eberhart .C.Inglis Stevens .G. Gunther Bevofl .G. Bolstead Anything From Soup to Nuts Is Asked of Extension Group Requests are made of the. Uni versity extension division on ev erything from how to build a swimming tank, to how to start a fox farm, or how to run a beau ty parlor, according to Dan Clark, assistant director of extension ac tivities. One man wrote saying that some time ago he had dropped his knife in the spring and when he recover ed it, he found the metal badly eaten away. The man wanted to know what chemicals in the water were responsible for the effect and if the water would be harmful for drinking. Another man in Washington wrote the department saying that he had discovered signs of oil on his property. He described the character of the soil and the na ture of some fossils revealed in his investigation. The man was anxious to learn whether such soil was favorable to oil, and asked also that the fossils of his descrip tion be explained. People in the east write the ex tension division inquiring about farming conditions in Oregon and asking whether they should leave their homes to come west. Numerous other strange requests are: How to make library paste, how to equip playgrounds in grade schools, how to organize a story telling hour for children, how to install a pipe organ, how to re move stains, how to organize a city government, how to organize clubs and present programs, and what the correct grammatical forms are. In a number of cases these re quests are referred to other de partments on the campus, and sometimes to chambers of com merce.
