Fight 'em Oregon The hoop men out on the short end of the l ygt ast night, ; but they're out fo imeback tonight. Let's go! ** VOLUME xxxn NUMBER 57 , TUNE IN TONIGHT ON FIRST OF EMERALD-KORE CONTEST PROGRAMS FROM COLLEGE SIDE STUDIOS Emerald-KORL Radio Contest Opens Sunday Three Houses Will Face Microphone in First Program of Series Kappas To Start Evening, Followed by Kappa Sigs, A. B. C.’s Controls of station KORE will be switched to the College Side Inn for the first time this year at 5:30 tomorrow night when the sec ond Emerald-KORE radio contest will get under way. Kappa Kappa Gamma will be the first to step up to the microphone with its talent, and this group will be followed by ^ the Kappa Sigs and Alpha Beta Chi entertainers immediately. Chi Omega, scheduled for the initial program, will not appear tomorrow night due to a change in arrange ments. Lois Conover is house represen tative for the Kappas, and although she has announced no definite pro gram for tomorrow night, it is very probable that the well-known Kap pa trio, composed of Janet Thach er, Betty Hudson, and Lois Cono ver, will offer several selections. Connie Baker, blues singer, is an other likely Kappa headliner. Kappa Sigs Plan Skit Something entirely unexpected and original has been concocted by Kappa Sigma. Freeman Young, house radio representative for the Kappa Sigs, refused last night to make any of the plans of their program known for publication. “Slug” Palmer, radio veteran, will undoubtedly have an active part in the program. Nels Nelson, representative for y Alpha Beta Chi, stated yesterday that an orchestra was being or ganized to represent his house. Leo Lohikoski, violinist, will also be featured. Five judges will be listening in on this first contest broadcast, and, with their grade sheets and gen eral directions close at hand, will start the work of determining the grand winner which will be an nounced in the middle of March. Programs will be judged on a ba sis of 100 points. Twenty-five points will be awarded to original ity, continuity, diversification, and sustaining interest in the program, respectively. Judges Kept Secret Judges for the contest will not be announced until the close of the program, but it is understood that all are well qualified for the re sponsibility of grading the broad casts, and will conduct the work in an unprejudiced manner . ^ Negotiations are still under way ’ with several large eastern compan ies as well as local business houses that the best prizes available may be secured for the contest, and it is expected that a list of the prizes can be issued early next week. Art Potwin, director of the radio contest, offered a bit of advice last night to competing houses with the following statement: “There is no rule prohibiting all houses in the contest from listening in and get (Continiued on Puge Four) eniors Asked To Turn In Cards ANY senior who has not yet turned in his activity - card should do so within the next few days by handing it in at the Ore gana office. Seniors who have not filled out an activity card may obtain one at the Co-op or at the Oregana office. Rehearsals for ‘Twelfth Night’ To Begin Monday Excellent Cast Is Picked From Large Number Of Tryouts By ISABELLE CROWELL “Twelfth Night” will go into re hearsal with a meeting of the en tire cast at 8 in Guild theatre on Monday night. An excellent cast has been chosen from the large number who tried out. It includes many who have not appeared be fore in campus productions and is as follows: Orsino, Duke of Illyria, Carl Klippel; Sebastian, brother of Viola, C. Addison Brockman; An tonio, a sea captain, friend of Se .bastian, Ralph Engberg; a sea cap tain, friend to Viola, Howard Ra gan; Valentine and Curio, gentle men attending on the -duke, Har vey Welch and Harold Batchelor; Sir Toby Belch, uncle of Olivia, Gene Love; Sir Andrew Ague cheek, Charles Jones; Malvolio, steward of Olivia, Eldon Woodin; Fabian and Feste, servants of Olivia, James Hughes and Donald Confrey; Olivia, a rich countess, Norma Jacobs; Viola, in love with the duke, Nancy Thlelsen; Maria, Olivia’s woman, Jean Williams; first sailor, Max Kaffisieder; sec ond sailor, Stanley Elliott; third sailor, Ethan Newman; first cour tier, Edwin Cruikshank; first offi cer, Robert Loomis; second officer, Burton Long; priest, Russel Cook. Nancy Thielsen, the Linda of “Holiday,” will play Viola, one of the two romantic women's roles. It is the shipwrecked Viola who seeks her fortune as a page in the court of the Duke Orsino. Carl Klippel, who played the clear-headed and modern Johnnie Case in “Holiday” will be the ro mantic Orsino, who, languishing in unrequited love for Olivia, sur rounds himself with soft music and color, until his discovery that his favorite page is really a lovely girl. Addison Brockman will appear once more, as Nancy’s brother, playing Sebastian to her Viola, this time presumably her twin brother. Norma Jacobs is playing a romantic role for the first time. She has usually been cast for com edy but will this time play the Countess Olivia, while tiny Jean Williams, who has often played children’s parts, is to do the lively and mischievous Maria—chief lady in-waiting upon the countess. Donald Confrey, the Nick of “Holiday” will be Feste, the court jester, while Charles Jones as An drew Aguecheek will combine with Gene Love as Sir Toby, and James Hughes as Fabian, to keep up the (Continued on Page Four) More Jobs Than Applicants For Store Personnel Work That personnel work in large de partment stores is one of the few vocations for women in which there are not more applicants than there ^ are positions was the declaration of Miss Florence Ruby, personnel director of Olds, Wortman, and King, when interviewed Friday. Miss Ruby was the speaker at the A. W. S. mass meeting Thursday, talking on “Vocations Open to Wo men.” Many requirements are made of the personnel worker daily, Miss Ruby said. The director in a large store is in charge of training all employees, from the least import ant cashier and wrapper to the as sistant buyers. She directs all social work, which includes any form of entertainment for the em ployees, and more especially so ciological problems such as those which arise from improper or un happy home conditions. .This is an mportant part of the work, accord ing to Miss Ruby, since the em ployers believe that a girl can not work as efficiently if she is ham pered by outside worries. These conditions are investigated by the personnel department and an at tempt is made to alleviate or rem edy them. Another part of the work is that of supervising all discipline. The director sees that all employees comply with the dress standards cf the store, and gives talks on per sonal appearance. This work re j quires a great deal of tact and dis | cretion in order to be successful, ! Miss Ruby added. The director also teaches em ployees the use of the cash regis ter, and she watches the errors /hich are made by individual work ers both with the cash registers and with sales slips.

Entries are now being received by Roy Bryson, member of the music school fac ulty, but the entry list will be closed on February 1.

The permanent gover nors of the contest are John J. Landsbury, dean of the school of music; Mrs. Anne Landsbury Beck, head of the public school music department; and Arthur Board man, head of the voice depart ment.

There is a possibility that in ad dition to these numbers, compet ing groups will be allowed to sing one number of their own selec tion. Complete sets of music for these songs may be obtained through Mrs. Emilienne Roach, of the voice department of the music school. Must Name Singers Every women’s house or hall entering will be required to name six singers and three alternates, and the men’s houses must name four singers and four alternates.

Loser by One Basket At Finish ^inee Dolp Hits Net for 15 Points To Lead Men In Scoring By VINCENT GATES A flashy band of sophomore loopsters from the State College >f Washington, who call them lelves Cougars, but ought to be :alled ‘'Comets,” nosed out the Oregon Webfoot cagers by one one basket, to win a thrilling see law battle by a 32-30 score at Mc \rthur court last night. Shooting with the accuracy or i Chicago gunner, Vince Dolp, Vebfoot forward, rang the hoop ’or 15 points to lead the individual icoring of the game. With the scoreboard never showing more ;han a four-point difference, Billy Reinhart’s Ducks sped up and lown the floor with heretofore un seen action and shooting. The dever passing sophomore quint of W. S. C„ led by Gordon, their in vincible center, scattered the Web Foot defense with long shots that hit the net, and then proceeded to dribble in for short set-ups. Lead at Half At half time, the crimson Cou gars—and gentlemen of color too, these brilliantly arrayed boys from the wind-swept corner of Washington—led the Oregonians 16-14, the margin of victory. Not for long, though, for the persistent Dolp came through with a short shot in front of the basket to tie the score. And then the see-saw battle waged again. Washington State stepped out in front after Dolp had sunk a free throw for Oregon and Gordon tossed one in for the Cougars. Dolp, Holsten Score Holsten, one of those second year lads, began playing a game with Dolp for scoring honors. Hol stcn dropped in a long one, and Dolp followed with a similar shot. Holsten sank another and then Gordon made a free toss. Billy Keenan, with a newly found mon iker “field mouse,” came in the game and sank a long shot. The score swayed back and forth with Holsten and Cross finding the! bas ket for the Cougars and Dolp, Levoff and Keenan retaliating for the Webfoots. Stevens Sinks Long One With a minute to play, the Cou gar quint found an opening for a free throw and a field goal to take a safe lead. An attempt at keep away ensued, but Kerm Stevens sank a long one from an almost inconceivable distance after Dolp and Keenan had shot at random for a much-needed basket. The game ended with the invading Cougars carrying off a hard found win.

C., Nathan Milstein seems to be in the musical world of the 20th qentury A. D. This young Russian violinist, who is to appear in concert at McAr thur court next Wednesday eve ning under the auspices of the as sociated students, is 'tonly 26 years old, and has but six years on the concert stage behind him, yet he is considered to be one of the half dozen greatest violinists in the world, and is internationally rec ognized as a musician of near genius. His Eugene appearance consti tutes the second concert on the series of five being sponsored this winter by the A. S. U. O., and will be free to members of the student body. His life is the story of an artist who started from scratch and by sheer force of brilliance rose to high rank in a very short time. In 1924 he left Russia and went to Berlin. When he arrived in the German capital, he did not even have his violin. He borrowed one for his first concerts. All through the long, dark years of the Russian Revolution he had managed to con tinue his practice and playing and gave constantly increasing promise of bearing out the predictions that the teachers of his childhood had made for him. And his first Berlin appearance definitely established him as one of the first talents of the new gen eration. From there he went to Paris, and repeated his success. Since then he has toured all of Europe three times, as well as South America. He is now on his second American tour. Milstein is particularly brilliant as a soloist with full orchestra, a characteristic which has won him (Continued on Page Three)
