Some of the most outstanding
books include: “Conqueror of

genius and a story of his life. “The
Strange Death of President Hard
ing,” a story taken from the diar

of justice investigator. “Educa
tion and Life,” by Ernest Martin

one of the latest books of its kind.
Vodvil Theme Song Is 'New
Idea;’ Practices Commence
Something new! This time it
^isn't a new spring hat or a new
dean of men, but a real, honest
to-goodness “New Idea.” “There's
a New Idea,” by Chuck James,
campus song writer, will be the
theme song for the Junior Vodvil.
“Snuggle Up and Love” by Mar
vin Jane Hawkins and Con Ham
mond, is another song that every
one will be humming and singing
this spring. A snappy little num
ber used by the dancing chorus for
a “Drill Dance/ Then there is a
new waltz, and a “stomp” number
also for the dancers.
These new song hits were just
finished yesterday noon. They
were immediately turned over to
Vint Hall who has sent them to
Seattle where the orchestrations
V will be written for them by Oscar
Wagner of Johnny Robinson's Var
sity Vagabonds.
More music is to be written, to
be sung by trios and the Univer
sity male quartet. Since these do
not need orchestration they do not
need to be finished as soon as the
dancing chorus numbers.
The chorus is already rehears
ing to the new tunes. Last night
they practiced the “Drill Dance’’
while Marvin Jane pounded “Snug
gle Up and Love" out of the de
cayed piano at the College Side.
Chuck James is assisting Mar
vin Jane Hawkins, the music di

department is also cooperating.

Textbook Fills Long Fell
Need in Field
Three Years Spent Doing
Material for Work on
Cells, Organisms
Written to fill a long felt need
in the college textbook field, a
volume entitled “An Introduction
Dr. Williams
to Biochemistry,"
by Dr. Roger Wil
liams, professor
of chemistry, will
be published May
15 by D. Van
Nostrand c o m -
pany of New
York, it is an
nounced here.
The text, which
is the first to ap
pear for this field,
deals with the chemistry ot living
things and graphically describes
cells and the composition of or
ganisms. It goes into nutrition of
cells and shows how they trans
form food into tissue.
The book is especially written
for upper division students in med
icine, biology, agriculture, chemis
try, and home economics. It pre
supposes two years of college
chemistry.
Works Three Years
Dr. Williams has spent three
years in preparing material for
the volume, which is a companion
text to his book, “Introduction to
Organic Chemistry,” which is now
in use as a standard text in more
than 300 universities and colleges
throughout the country. A second
edition of this work is soon to be
published also.
In addition to texts Dr. Wil
liams has written extensively
on various phases of research, and
is now engaged in an extensive
project dealing with growth fac
tors in yeast, a project financed
by the Fleischman Yeast company.
He is regarded as an authority in
chemistry and his writings and
work has won high commendation
from scientists all over the coun
try.

ground for the motif of the ban
quet.
First Overnight Hike
To Be Held on Sunday
The only over-night hike of
spring term has been scheduled
for this Saturday, April 11, ac
cording to Ella Redkey, student
manager of hiking. Although a
similar jaunt was planned for win
ter term, weather conditions did
not permit, so this is the second
overnight hike to be taken.
The hikers will leave the Wom
en’s building at 1 o’clock on Sat
urday afternoon, journeying to
Peters Lodge and returning on
Sunday. Every girl planning to
attend is required to bring 50
cents to take care of housing and
eating expenses, and to sign up on
the W. A. A. bulletin board as soon
as possible. Thelma Brown is in
charge of the menu and food for
the trip.

Hendricks park, punctuating the
trip with brief intervals of Easter
egg hunting. Alice Madson and
Esther Lisle led the hike,
Doughnuts Get Official O. K.
"Dig up a dime, and dunk a doughnut,” will be the cry of Frosh
commission workers on the campus today as they sponsor the first
doughnut-selling drive among students. In the above photo, from left
to right, we see Karl W. Onthank, dean of personnel administration,
munching a doughnut with evident satisfaction; Betsy Steiwer, assist
ant chairman, making a sale to Mrs. Hazel l’rutsman Schwering, dean
of women; Nancy Suomela, general chairman of the drive; and May
Masterton, in charge of town soliciting.
Doughnuts Sell When Frosh
Workers Deny Making Them
“Do you make the doughnuts
yourself?”
“No, we don’t.”
“Very well then, I’ll take a
dozen.”
Such was the reception received
by Nancy Suomela, and her co
workers during their doughnut
selling campaign among the peo
ple of Eugene yesterday. They
could relate many more amusing
stories gleaned from their experi
ences during the last week, and
could tell of various other such
unconventional greetings.
Nevertheless their labors have
sold 500 dozen already, and ex
pect to sell at least 50 dozen more
on the campus today.
Despite the fact that this is the
first time such a sale has been
sponsored on the campus, every
one seems eager to co-operate to
wards its success, Miss Suomela
said. The Frosh commission work
ers have not confined themselves
to the campus, but have cam
paigned throughout the city.
“Although we have met with re
markable success," said Miss Suo
mela last night, “it was quite
amusing to find how many people
intended to leave town on Wednes
day when the subject of dough
I nuts was broached."
Yesterday several booths were
placed at various intervals on the
campus, and in these booths the
doughnuts will be sold today.
Workers hope to make the dough
nut sale an annual event on the
campus.

Orchestra, Glee
Club To Close
ASUO Concerts
Joint Program on April
16 To Be in Igloo
Student Body Cards Will
Admit to Event, Says
‘Doe' Robnett
“Local talent,” so to speak, will
provide the last of the five con
certs presented this year on the
A. S. U. O. concert series. The
University symphony orchestra and
the combined glee clubs will ap
pear in joint concert at McArthur
court on Thursday evening, April
16.
The concert will be given in the
court instead of the music audito
rium in order to accommodate the
crowd which traditionally attends
an A. S. U. O. concert, according
to Ronald Robnett, assistant grad
uate manager. All members of
the associated students will be ad
mitted without charge upon pres
entation of cards at the door.
Both the orchestra and the glee
clubs have gained reputations as
musical groups well above the
average of collegiate musical or
ganizations. Both have given a
number of concerts annually for
many years, but this coming con
cert will be the first occasion on
which they have appeared as a
part of the regular A. S. U. O.
concert series.
The orchestra will be directed
by Rex Underwood, and will num
ber about seventy instruments.
The combined glee clubs total
about eighty mixed voices, and are
under the direction of John Stark
Evans. Both Evans and Under
wood have held their respective
directorial posts for the past 10
years.

Journalism Said Profitable
And Interesting for Women
"If the printers’ ink is in your
blood in sufficient quantity, noth
ing in the world can prevent you
from making a success of journal
ism.” This was the declaration of
Miss Adelaide Lake, church editor
and staff reporter of the Oregon
ian of Portland, who addressed the
Associated Women Students of the
University of Oregon here yester
day on journalism as a profession.
Miss Lake, a graduate of the
University, has been active in
newspaper work in Portland and
elsewhere for the past eight years.
Her talk was regarded as one of
the most outstanding given in the
series of vocational meetings that
are being sponsored here by the
Associated Women Students this
year.
Newspaper work makes greater
demands upon women who enter
it than does almost any other pro
fession, Miss Lake pointed out, but
it has compensations that more
than make up for its less attractive
phases. Women holding responsi
ble positions are often required to
work long hours and are often un
der constant nervous strain due to
the necessity of complying with
“deadlines” and the sacrifices of
social pleasures is a price that
many mhst pay. No “social but
terfly” can hope to creditable writ
ing, she said.
By presenting news to the pub
lic in a clear, coherent and accur
ate form, the news reporter is per
forming a great service and should
derive genuine satisfaction from
this, Miss Lake believes. News is
