( Sport Control Change Hinted In U. S. Survey Graduate-Manager Rosson Explains Possible Result of Idea Plan Adoption May Cause Withdrawal From Coast Conference Possibility of the University of Oregon ultimately withdrawing from the Coast conference in all major sports if the suggestion made in the recent federal survey of the state education system is adopted, was the statement made yesterday by Hugh E. Rosson, graduate manager, at the student assembly at Gerlinger hall. “The investigators suggested in their report that all major ath letics be taken from the hands of the students and placed under the control of the school, the same as any other University departments. With this change all coaches would be paid on the same scale as members of the faculty. The present trend of prices for reputa ble coaches,” Rosson said, “and the present scale of salaries of faculty members, would make it impossible for Oregon to secure the services of any well-known coach.” If this had to be done, Rosson commented, it would mean that young men, just out of school, would have to be hired to coach the teams. As soon as they pro duced a winning team, if they did, they would be in demand by other schools. This would mean a con stant shifting of coaching staffs. Rosson further explained his statement that Oregon would be forced to withdraw from competi tion with other large coast schools —-~~—-— Make The co-op; Your Golf Headquarters j i You’ll find a fine assortment of the latest in clubs, bags, balls, and ! other supplies now on display. : i: j Spalding Wright & Ditson | Buhrke Clubs : f $ J75 and up the UNIV. wCO-OP” n ■_ by stating that such a change as suggested would put Oregon in the same position as other neighbor ing colleges have found themselves; that of having teams that fail to draw large gate receipts, hence having a hard time to secure a de sirable schedule. This would force the University to enter into com petition with such schools as Wil lamette, Pacific, and Whitman, Rosson claimed. Drum Major Needed For Band Next Year A call for aspiring drum majors for the University band for next year to try out for the position will be left by W. J. Peterkins, drum major this year and last, who graduates this term, was made yesterday by John Stehn, band di rector. “A new drum major will be need ed by the University band next fall and we desire to try out candidates j this spring,” Mr. Stehn said. Following is a list of desirable qualifications for the position, as ; outlined by Mr. Stehn: (a) Candi didate must have some suspicion as to which is his left foot, (b) A little knowledge of music' is de sirable, but not necessary, (cl ; Sophomores and freshmen will be given preference, (d) A knowl edge of band and military maneu vers is necessary, (e) A tall, well built man will be given preference but not unless the other qualifica tions are fulfilled. Candidates may give their names and a written list of qualifications including experience, if any, tp Sergeant Conyers in the office of the military department. Dr. Wielamj Explains Biochemical Phases In a highly technical lecture de livered yesterday afternoon before an assemblage of science students and professors, Dr. Heinrich Wie land, winner of the Nobel prize for chemistry in 1927, endeavored to explain some of the recent phases of biochemistry. Dr. Wieland has long concerned himself with studies which eventu- ( ally may throw light upon struc- j ture and modes of behavior of vi- i tamins, or growth activators, but I in the lecture he limited himself to a discussion of certain oxida tion processes which are of a more fundamental nature. Many of the physiologic proc- j esses we know as oxidation reac- \ tions, lie said, in reality involve a loss of hydrogen. He illustrated his speech with reaction formulae which he had acquired from study of physiologic 1 processes in one-celled organisms. , Dr. Wieland is regarded very highly both here and abroad. He is considered one of the most bril liant figures in modern biochem- i istry and keen pleasure at having j the privilege of hearing him speak was expressed by members of the chemistry and biology groups. i The Same Excellent —service —merchandise —and location Drop around!

State Diving Champion To Represent Oregon! -- Chances of the University to an nex more points at the annual state indoor swimming champion ship at the Multnomah club tank Saturday. April 25, were increased yesterday with the announcement that Bill Sievers, present state out door diving champion and member of the varsity swimming team last year, would enter. Sievers won the state champion ship last summer at Jantzen beach in Portland and placed second in the Northwest meet held at the same tank. During the winter he has been diving at the Washington Athletic club in Seattle while play ing with Johnny Robinson’s orches tra there. While there, he did ex hibition diving in connection with Helene Madison's record-breaking attempts. CONCERT SEASON ENDS IN PROGRAM TONIGHT (Continued from Page One) “Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast,” which will be sung by the glee clubs with full orchestral accom paniment. Featured soloists will be How ard Halbert, who will be the vio linist for Saint-Saens’ concerto in B-minor for violin and orchestra; ! and Loren Davidson, who will sing j the tenor role in the closing can- J tata. The three numbers to be sung as | an opening group by the girls’ glee club are the Dvorak’s popular bal lad “Songs My Mother Taught Me;” and two songs by noted American composers, Deems Tay lor's “Tricolor” and Edward Hors man’s “Bird of the Wilderness.” j The men’s glee club will follow j with a roaring sea song, “Red \ Bombay,” which is written by still another American composer, Red dick, and which is, according to John Stark Evans, slightly in cari- j cature of Oley Speaks’ “The Road to Mandalay;” and a negro song, “Uncle Rome,” by Sidney Homer. I The orchestra’s opening number will be the suite that Bizet wrote as incidental music for Daudet’s ' drama, “L’Arlesienne.” About 145 students will partici pate in the concert, of whom near- j ly 70 are members of the orches- i tra. i i. - — A Decade Ago -i April 16, 1921 Perhaps the best yet is the ab sent-minded student who over zealously paid his fees twice. it- * * The varsity baseball team will open the Northwest conference when it plays Willamette Friday. * * * The University of California glee club will give a concert here on May 16.

After a shaky first inning in which the victors chased in five runs, the hall team settled down and A1 Richen had the Phi Psis groping wildly to connect with his fast ball. Wat Ketchen led the barrage of base hits that tied the score for Sherry Ross in the sixth inning, while “Kid” James backed up1 Richen nicely by hauling in several lofty flies. Friendly hall's advance was checked in midair when Sigma hall took them over the bumps 7-5, Omega hall swamped S. A. E. 15-1, and Sigma Nu walloped Theta Chi 15-4 in the baseball game. VARIED NUMBERS TO. BE GIVEN AT RECITAL (Continued from Page One) made a dance to “Clair de Lune” by Debussy. Virginia Hunter will present a study in design, with “Novelette— j Allegro” by Schumann, as an ac-1 companiment. Retreat from worldly things to solitude, as those who go away to think over their lives, is the theme of a composition by Alyce Cook to Scriabine’s “Etude in C sharp minor.” To Open with Humor The recital opens with a humor ous group dance, “Tarantella,” to “La Tarantella Fretillante,” by Coleridge Taylor, presented by the junior majors in physical educa tion. A dramatic study, “Bound Cap tives,” will be given by the Mon day evening group to “Prelude in C Sharp Minor” by Rachmaninoff. “Novelette,” by Schumann, a dance built in two contrasting moods—the first, strong, vigorous and fiery; the second, languorous and quiet—is the work of students who have completed their third term in dancing. Hebrew Dance Listed Jacob Weinberg has written an interesting accompaniment for the ancient Hebrew prayer for atone ment, “Kol Nedrei.” Four mem bers of Masters Dance group have worked out in dance their inter pretation and reaction to this com position. The junior majors who spent considerable portion of last term in the study of the dance without music have developed an interest ing ceremonial based on the old Egyptian ritual, performed with the coming of spring. It was as sociated with the worship of the god Osiris. Ag^jn the conception is their own; however, it is built around the idea of bringing to life mummies who, through their movement, represent growth from the sun. Lyric Waltz on Program A charmingly sophisticated I waltz study is one of the contri butions of Master Dance group. It is a lyrical interpretration of "Soirees de Vienne No. 4” by Schu bert-Liszt. The dance of the senior majors in physical education is a striking study in modern composition. A fitting title for this is “Dynamic Rhythm,” inspired by Brahm’s “Rhapsody in B Minor.” The program concludes with a purely atmospheric number, “La Cathedrale Engloutie,” by Debus sy. In it another modern tendency is utilized, that of economy of movement, and line.

UNIVERSITY PHARMACY 11th and Alder ~ mss --- 3=3=8.HHH6 Fortcard Progress— Jeopard izing intercollegiate sports after they have reached such popularity as they now hold will meet with vigorous opposition. It is particularly hard to favor a pol icy going into effect here which will be discouraging to them. Per haps the reason for this is that ] Oregon's varsities have been above the average in success recently. No school in the Northwest can match the Webfoots' record sport for sport during the last five years. In tennis, golf, and swimming, su premacy has been almost abso lute. Only one football game has been lost to a northern team in three seasons. Last year the track team won on all its dual meets. In both basketball and baseball, the winnings have averaged at least half. * * * Turning Backtcard— It is a gloomy picture indeed, that which Hugh Rosson depicts, of Oregon dropping down athletic ly to the competitive plane of such schools as Pacific and Willamette casting no reflections toward them either. The force of competition is always forward toward better, more efficient things. The same goes in the realm of sportsdom. Turning backwards, especially when your efforts have been crowned with success, is indeed hard to contemplate. * * * Final Prospect— The federal survey people state that intercollegiate sports here overshadow intramural sports, to the detriment of the latter, and that the emphasis on each must be reversed. Therefore, cheaper coaches should be hired, and more I money must be spent on house athletics. It is generally under-1 stood that low-priced coaches will put out low-class teams. The break in intercollegiate sports, however, need not be drastic. It can come * gradually, as Manager Rosson re- ^ marks, Until inferiority necessi- * tates withdrawal from the coast 0 conference. ^ * * * s The Answer— , There is only one answer to this f athletic problem between intercol- ( legiate and intramural activities— c there is plenty of room for both, j Our varsities are for our superior ^ athletes. Our house teams are for f those of average ability. Neither has conflicted with the other in the past. There is no grounds to j J believe they will in the future. Cer- ; tain it is that there is abundant opportunity for any student who wishes to take part in either one ' or both to his heart’s content. * * * * j For the Defense— v If it comes to a matter of de- . fending intercollegiate sports let's • do it. First of all the theory that colleges should give broad, and somewhat generalized education certainly contains room to include athletics. Second, in all forms of our social life those who wish by skill and industry to reach the top are encouraged. Intercollegiate sports give such an opportunity to the athlete. Finally, competitive college teams create the very foun dation for school spirit and tradi- j tion, for unity and cooperation, j Their success shows that the stu- 1 dents have liked them. Then should college persons be denied 1 things that give them pleasure when that is what the rest of the ! world strives for?

Parsons, dean of j the school of applied social sci- | ence and general chairman for the conference, said yesterday that : present interest in the conference ! is very favorable to a large at- | tendance and that it is expected that there will be an interested i group of prominent civic workers and community leaders at each one of the four sections. Conference Is Tradition The first Commonwealth confer- j ence was held in 1916, and for many years it was an annual event. For a period, however, it. lay dormant, and was revived def initely in 1929. As a result it has become a tradition in the social, political and economic life of the state. The conference has special sig nificance this year because of the interest that the University has taken during the past year in community organization in rural districts. The conference will at tempt to give a mutual under standing between the community leaders and will try to help solve such problems as health and wel fare, political education, communi ty planning, and socialized recrea tion.
