Last year It took the form of a sophomore banquet.” Tonight the class will decide upon some activity and work will begin at once. Appoint ments will be announced within the next week. It is desirable, said Travis, that all members of the class attend the meeting and voice their opinions as to the type of activity they think ad visable. Play Offers New Dramatic Talent In ‘Twelfth Night’ Eleven Students Will Make Debut in Shakespeare Drama Saturday Eleven people who have not ap peared heretofore in campus dra matics have roles in Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night,” to be given at Guild theatre, February 21, 23, 24, and 25. * Ralph Engberg, who transferred from Stanford last term, a senior in pre-medics, plays the part of Antonio, a sea-captain who rescues Sebastian from shipwreck and be comes his friend and protector. Howard Ragan, sophomore in for eign trade plays a similar part and aids Viola to disguise herself and become the Duke’s servant. Eldon Woodin, freshman in art, appears as Valvolio, steward to Olivia, the target for the pranks of the rest of the household. James Hughes, sophomore in economics, is Fabian, another of Olivia’s ser vants of a more ribald character, who aids in making life miserable for Malvolio. The other newcomers are: Har old Batchelor, as Curio, servant to the Duke; Max Kaffesieder and Stanley Elliott, sailor friends of Viola; Robert Loomis and Burton Long, as officers who arrest An tonio; James Henderson, a cour tier; and Russell Cook as a priest. Several of the actors who have been seen before have new types of roles in “Twelfth Night.” Nor ma Jacobs, who usually plays com edy, is cast as the lovely and ro mantic countess. Gene Love plays the dissolute uncle of Olivia with the aid of generous padding. Charles Jones, plays Sir Andrew, a Don Juan in his own mind, but merely offensive to Olivia whose love he seeks. Donald Confrey, plays the jester, Feste, and Jean Williams has the part of Maria, Olivia’s woman who shares in the revivals of Sir Toby, Andrew, and Fabian. Nancy Thielsen as Viola and Ad dison Brockman as Sebastian are cast as twins. Carl Klippel, who played Johnnie Case in Holiday, again has a lead in the part of the Duke. FROM PRESIDENT’S PEN Press of Administrative Detail Does Not Give Pres. Hall Opportunity He Would Like To Meet Students GREETING TO THE STUDENTS It is with genuine gratitude that I take advantage of the generous offer of the Emerald to publish a daily communication from me to the students of the University. The two handicaps inherent in my po sition that I regret the most are that the press of administrative detail makes it impossible for me to know in the intimate way that I should like the faculty and the student body. I therefore welcome this opportunity to say a few words daily to the students that I am trying to serve. For in the last analysis the ultimate purpose of the University under my adminis tration is to give the student body the best that is humanly possible in intellectual training, in spiritual understanding, and in the develop ment of high ideals and noble char acter. I will hope from time to time to set for certain ideas about student life and student problems that I hope will be helpful and stimulat ing to student thought. But I want to say to the students now what I have always said at the begin ning of my classes when I was teaching—that the purpose of my communications is not to get the students to think as I think, for I shall be very happy if I can get them to thinking at all and doubly pleased if I can get them to think- 1 ing intelligently, honestly, and con structively. This would be a weary, worthless world if we all thought alike, for great thoughts, new dis coveries, and inspiring ideals are I more likely to come out of the j clash of honest opinions and the impact of honest judgments that differ than out of a unanimous agreement, which would be possi (Continued on Page Three), Oregon Beats Idaho 33 to 27 In Rough Game 34 Fouls Are Called During Wild Contest at Igloo; 3 Men Ejected Teams Will Meet Tonight At 7:30; Horner and Eberliart Star By BRUCE HAMBY In a wild, rough ' basketball game which was featured by 34 called fouls, the Oregon hoop squad won their first game on the home floor last night, when they edged out the University of Idaho Vandals, 33 to 27. The two teams will meet again tonight at 7:30. Oregon grabbed the lead soon after the start, when “Stymie” Dolp sank a free throw. Drum mond, Vandal guard, gave the vis itors a short lead by sinking a field goal, only to have Jean Eberhart sink three baskets one after the other to put Oregon in the lead, 7 to 2. Horner and Eberhart con tributed every point for Oregon in the first half, except for Dolp’s foul conversion and Stevens’ field goal. The score at half-time was 20 to 12 in favor of the Webfoots. Many Fouls Called Bobby Morris and Ralph Cole man, officials, were evidently out to earn their pay, for they started calling fouls in earnest at the start of the second period. Eberhart and Horngr, for Oregon, and Hale, Idaho, were forced out on four personals. Of the 34 fouls called, 30 of which were personals and 4 technicals, the two teams con verted 24. Idaho tried vainly to cut down the Webfoot lead during the last canto, but the closest they could get was 32 to 27, just before the gun sounded. Aukett, center, and Barrett, forward, led the Vandals in their offensive. As the end of the fray neared, both teams re sorted to rough and tumble flay ing with the referees calling fouls right and left. Practically half the time was spent in picking up players from the floor, and giving out free throws. Eberhart High Scorer Jean Eberhart was high point man with 12 markers. He was closely followed by Barrett and Aukett, for the visitors, who tal lied 10 apiece. Cliff Horner, Web foot guard, showed exceptional ability in checking.

Davis, who spoke before the Wesley foundation | group Sunday evening on the topic “Why Christianity?” “The miracles, the belief in im mortality, the golden rule, the Man God, none of these are unique, as all religious history presents in cidents of these things,” Mr. Da vis said. “Surveys that have been conducted show that the belief in God is the only thing that Christ ians agree on,” Mr. Davis contin ued. Mr. Davis summarized the be liefs and doctrines of all of the eleven major religions, showing qualities of Christianity that were found in all of them. Big Shots for Webfoots l 1 ¥-<suf&D Jean Eberhurt, high-point man In last night's game with the Idaho Vandals, and Hermit Stevens, consistent guard, will be on deck to night when the Webfoots tackle the northerners at 7:30 in McArthur court. The contest will be the last with the Vandals for the season. ■ ■-x-;---•-— Polyphonic Choir Will Give Concert Thursday Night Gounod’s Gallia Scheduled ‘Old Plantation Rays’ . Also on Program Appearing1 in formal concert for the first time since the presenta tion of ‘‘The Messiah” last Decem ber, the first division of the Poly phonic choir will give its winter term concert at the music auditor ium next Thursday evening, Feb ruary 19, singing under the baton of Director Arthur Boardman. As a result of many requests, Gounod’s “Gallia,” first sung by the choir in a concert given a year ago, will be repeated. The balance of the program will consist of a choral cycle, “Old Plantation Days,” for which the text was written by Frederick H. Martens and the music by N. Clifford Page. “Old Plantation Days,” accord ing to Boardman, is a work of real musical value and wide appeal. It is not a mere medley of minstrel airs, hung together by a few orig inal interpolations, but is an or iginal work full of color and con trast. The theme is centered around life in the old South, before the Civil war, and the score, of course, includes a number of period airs, especially arranged to fit into the continuity. An admission of 50 cents will be charged for the concert, the pro ceeds to go to the choir’s fund. Part of the accumulation from past concerts was recently used by the choir’s board of student directors for the purchase of the two large silver cups which are now offered as prizes in the Polyphonic choir intramural song contest. Bishop Sumner Leaves Campus Famous Churchman Called To Portland Early Walter Taylor Sumner, Episco pal bishop of Oregon, left Sunday evening for Portland, after spend ing several days on the University of Oregon campus for his 17th an nual visit. Sunday afternoon Bishop Sumner ned the vespers at the music build ing, where he was assisted by the University string quartet and the Polyphonic choir, under the direc tion of Arthur Boardman, head of the voioe department. During his visit, he held private conferences with both students and faculty members. These confer ences were held in the inner office of Dean Rebec, in Johnson hall, and were open to anyone. University of Washington Men Visit Local Campus Merrill Bell, Bill Herb, and Ken neth Swensson, members of Delta Upsilon chapter of the University of Washington, and Karl Swenson, also of that school, spent the week-end on the campus as guests of Sigma Pi Tau. Karl Swensson is a candidate for the American Olympic skating team. He qualified in the tryouts held in California a few weeks ago, German Movies To Be Shown in Villard Assembly Films Depicting Old and New of Country To Be Shown Tomorrow Modern and medieval character istics as they exist in present-day Germany will be shown in the four reel film, “Germany, Old and New,” which will be shown Wed nesday evening at 8 o'clock In Vil lard assembly. Two reels of the film, according to Dr. Meno Spann, professor .of German, who has previewed the picture, deal mostly with the cities of Nuremburg, Ruthenburg, Leip zig, Dresden, and Munich. These cities show Germany as a museum of the past. Medieval architecture is pictured in its various phases. To add zest to this part of the picture many quaint old customs and habits of the people are shown. Industry Is Shown The last two reels show Germany as the industrial country of today working with all her strength try ing to come back to health and happiness after the war. Hamburg and Berlin are used to show this side of German life. Modern build ings, industries, bridges, and docks are interestingly shown. As well qs these, the recreational side of life is depicted , water sports and night life being featured. Spann To Speak Dr. Spann will give a short in troductory talk and will explain the films as they are shown. When speaking of the pictures, he said, “The film is an excellent piece of photography and .many beautiful effects have been achieved. It is a good selection to show the wealth of strange and beautiful things that Germany has to offer to tour ists.” Tickets may be bought at the Co-op for 20 cents or may be ob [tained at Villard assembly on Wed ! nesday evening. I Change Milk Law, Says Bill, and Get Real Prohibition CAMPUS CENTER, Eugene, Feb. 16.—If I were a senator at Washington I would offer an I Bill ont f a Aimrlrn amendment ap plying the Vol stead act to milk. Why not make things good and dry while we’re at it. Milk Is the source of a great evil. People are r\ fu rmoru rtn or* rel over the price. It is a great purveyor of disease. Men be come addicts. Such an amend ment ought to help the dairy men. The democrats in the senate are having debate practice over what the party thinks in regard to the prohibition question. Chairman Raskob has been ac cused of not knowing anything about the demo party. I’d hate :o say what old John Bull thinks of our drinkin’ situation. Yours, —BILL ROTERS.

Alexis Lyle; (Continued on Pape Two) Campbell Places Fourth in Contest Willamette Speaker Wins Forensic Competition Wallace Campbell, the repre sentative of the University of Ore gon in the Oregon State Extem pore contest, won fourth place last Friday night in the contest held at Oregon Normal school, Mon mouth. John Rudin, Willamette univer sity, placed first; Walter Pichtall, Oregon State, second; Lynn Hamp ton, Pacific college, third; and Wallace Campbell, University of Oregon, fourth. The general sub ject of the extempore contest was "Unemployment in the United States.” Mr. Campbell was given as his particular phase, “Public Works and Their Effect on the U n e m p loyment Situation.” He compared public works to a wedge which serves as a temporary sup port for the unemployment situa tion. The speakers agreed in general, however, that the main cause of unemployment in the United States is the economic situation, and that several basic economic standards will have to be changed before the unemployment situation can be solved. Trees Moulded by Passing Students ^RK college students Idrssed with the instinct of acquisl tiveness, or in other words do they grab everything in sight? If you are inrlined to hove faith and believe that surely Unlver sity students have passed this stage, just casually observe the cedar trees growing on the north side of Deady hall. Every one Is curved inward toward the trunk, and just within the range of a person’s arm. According to Mr. Mlckkelson, the University’s head gardener, students passing on the walk by the trees almost invariably absent-mindedly reach out and grab a hand full of leaves. The result is a weird shaped concave growth which presents the ap pearance or careful trimming. But If you should still doubt the veracity of this story, examine the regular normal cedar trees near Beady, but out of conven ient reach. Interior Design To Be Explained At Meeting Today Miss Bertha Stuart Fifth Speaker on AWS Job Guidance Series What woman does not think she has an inborn, though perhaps hidden, talent for “fixing up" her room, her home, or someone else’s room ? Witness the hours of planning, of making curtains, of painting furniture, and of arranging and rearranging one dresser, one cot, two chairs, a small table, and per haps a knick-knack or two which every collage girl spends at least once a year in an effort to prove that her ideas were much better than those of the last occupant of her room! Portland Woman Here Today at 4 o’clock in Alumni hall, Miss Bertha Stuart, well known Portland interior decorator, will speak at the fifth of a series of meetings on vocations which women may enter, being sponsored by the Associated Women Stu dents. All women on the campus are urged to plan to hear Miss Stuart at this meeting, when she will discuss interior decorating as a profession. Miss Stuart will also be on the campus from 2:30 until 4 o'clock today for appointments with girls who wish to discuss any phase of interior decorating, and she will be here tomorrow for similar ap pointments, which are to be made through the dean of women's of fice. The University’s school of archi tecture and allied arts offers a five-year course in interior design which is recognized as being among the best. “The school of architecture and allied arts, which includes the course in interior de sign, is rather well known as one of the outstanding divisions of the University,” declared Karl W. On thank, dean of personnel adminis tration, yesterday. “This is par ticularly emphasized by the recog nition given it by the Carnegie Foundation, which has established a summer school for college teach ers in the school. Wayne Morse To Speak Over KORE Today Shortcomings in Present Criminal Code To Be Pointed Out Other Speakers Listed for Regular Emerald Broadcasts The present criminal law ma chinery is, in certain instances, arhifrarv. slow eumhprsnme and Ralph David too often ignores the needs and in terests of both Ithe individual f cone e r n e d and ■society. Such is the opinion of Wayne | L. Morse, assoc i f ate professor of | law, who will dis | cuss the criminal I'law and social science problems over station koke, rrom s:sa to 5 o’clock, this afternoon, during the regular Emerald editorial pro gram, which is given under the management of Ralph David. Pro fessor Morse will also touch on the recent crime survey he made, and will give an analysis of the results of his investigation. ‘‘The expert in behaviour prob lems must be allowed by lawyers a much greater part in the admin istration of criminal law,” says Morse, ‘‘if we are to attack the problem of crime from a scientific approach.” This address will be the second of a series being spon sored by the Oregon Daily Em erald over station KORE. W. D. Smith Will Speak Warren D. Smith, professor of geology and geography, will speak on the subject of South America next Thursday, February 19. His topic for discussion will be ‘‘Leaves From a Gringo's South American Note Book.” Professor Smith has recently returned from a trip to South America, and is well versed in the conditions as they exist in that country at the present time. Next week's program of Emer ald editorial broadcasts includes talks by John T. Ganoe, associate professor of history; Eric W. Al len, dean of the journalism school; John H. Mueller, associate profes sor in sociology; Edwin T. Hodge, professor of geology and geogra phy, and Mrs. Ottilie T. Seybolt, assistant professor of English. Of Benefit to State The Oregon Daily Emerald, in presenting these programs, feels that it is doing something which will prove a great benefit to the state. According to Ralph David, who is in charge of the daily edi torial programs over KORE, the ideas and theories of the profes sors at the University of Oregon should not be confined to the small area of the campus, but should be brought to the attention of the public, so that the people of the state might receive some of the benefits which the University can cupply. ‘‘We are attempting,” he says, "to work up enough interest in these programs so that we can give an hour of such material in the evenings instead of a quarter (Continued on Page Three) Happiness Is Paramount in Hawaii, Says Henry Kaahea By KENNETH FITZGERALD , Picture to yourself a beautiful ' moonlight night, brilliant stars j gleaming in the sky, and the whole ' lustre of the heavens reflecting it-1 self from the calm waters of a peaceful ocean. Soft breezes are blowing in from the sea, and the low rumble of the waves as they roll upon the sandy shore mingles with the sighing song of the wind as it whispers through the trees which fringe the beach. There’s peaceful splendor in this Hawaiian scene, and its beauty becomes more realistic as one hears the soft sing ing of human voices from the shore. They are the voices of Ha waii, Pacific’s islands of romance, and the people who sing do so be cause it is the only medium by which they can express their ap preciation of the beauty of nature, nowhere in the world so apparent as in their native isles. They sing because they are glad they arej alive. They sing because their fathers and their grandfathers taught them that the paramount necessity of life is happiness. And there's no other place under the sun where happiness is so read as it is in Hawaii. Such is the conception of Henry Kaahea, Hawaiian sophomore in education, of his native land. Hen ry has been at Oregon for more than a year now, and in that time has made many friends on the campus. At times, however, he still yearns for the peaceful scenes of his native islands which form such a direct contrast to the hurry and bustle of everyday life in America. Oh, yes, indeed, Henry likes Oregon, but then, you know, Hawaii is home. And when has a home like Hawaii it is not easily forgotten. Kaahea was born in the town of Yaiohinu, a native town on tho (Continued on Page Four}
