Eberhard Gets
Albert Prize at
Senior Meeting
New Donation Plan for
^ Alumni Inaugurated
Class Votes $200 for New
Band Uniforms, $200
For Loan Fund
The class of 1931 made two de
cisions of major importance at its
final meeting last night in Oregon
hall.
The first was the awarding of
the Albert prize to Dorothy Eber
hard, senior in history. Miss Eb
erhard has been very active in
campus affairs, having served this
year as president of Mortar Board
and as a member of the student
advisory committee.
The second matter of importance
^ was the appointment of a com
■ mittee consisting of Bill Pittman
and Harry Tonkon to draft a plan
of “free-will offering” for alumni
of the University. Under this plan
the alumni would make voluntary
contributions to the University
each year, and no campaign or
drive would be carried on to ob
tain money.
The funds derived from this
source would be paid into the
treasury of the University, to be
used as the school sees fit. Such
a plan is being practiced success
fully at Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth,
Cornell, Columbia, and other col
leges, it is said.
Disposal was also made at the
meeting of surplus funds in the
class treasury. It was decided to
donate half of the fund of about
$400 to the band fund for new uni
forms. The other half will be
used to start an emergency loan
fund in the name of the class of
1931. The principal and interest
of this fund will be rebated to the
class at its twenty-fifth anniver
'sary meeting.
Bill Pittman was unanimously
chosen as permanent secretary of
the class, and was at the same
time awarded a life membership
in the Alumni association.
The procedure and details of
commencement week-end were ex
plained to the class by Pittman.

Orchestra Gives
Final Concert of
Musical Season
Generous Applause Awards
Five Soloists and
Their Conductor
By JACK BAUER
The final orchestra concert of
the season was as varied and bril
liant as the entire musical year
has been. A large audience gen
erously applauded the five student
soloists, Harold Ayres, Agnes Pet
zold, Gladys Foster, Nancy Thiel
sen, and Esther Wicks, and the
University Symphony orchestra for
their very fine performance.
Rex Underwood, who directed
the concert, had his musicians un
der perfect control. The orches
tra played near-perfect accompa
niment to five exceedingly diffi
cult works, and followed the
nuances of the soloists with cred
itable fidelity.
The Concerto Op. 21 by Haydn
opened the program. Harold Ayres,
pianist, played the first movement
with his customary crisp precision.
Agnes Petzold was splendidly
dramatic in the “Ritorno Vincitor”
from Verdi’s Aida. The dolorous
lament allowed her to release her
powers of dramatic singing. There
was close integration of orchestra
and voice.
Gladys Foster showed fine feel
ing for the romantic mood of
Schumann’s Concerto in A minor.
The pronounced melodies, lyric
rather than bombastic, were ac
centuated by smooth execution on
the part of the pianist, and the full
orchestra moved with the rippling
chords to a brilliant climax.
Nancy Thielsen’s vibrant voice
gave brilliance to the gentle, sway
ing “Casta Diva,” from Bellini's
opera, Norma.
In the lively second part of the
aria, the orchestra gathered the
hesitant melodic phrases into a
structure of grace. Miss Thielsen
executed thrilling syncopations and
a smooth chromatic scale with
seemingly little effort.
The Vieuxtemps Concerto in D
minor afforded Esther Wicks and
the orchestra a medium for a ster
ling performance.
The cadenza at the close of the
first movement was made brilliant
by clean-cut fingering and precise
bowing. Arpeggios, runs, trills,
and figures in octaves introduced
the restrained, solemn and reli
gious theme.
150 Women Find
Employment Here
Through YWCA
Employment for 150 women stu
dents for the past year, amount
ing to a total earning of $19,848,
was found by the Y. W. C. A. This

housework, care of children, read
ing to the blind, and restaurant
and tea room work. A total of
$18,144 was earned in regular
work and the remaining $1700 in
odd jobs.

and college officials got only the
following word as to the board’s
work contained in a bulletin:
"Whereas the board recognizes
that each institution has rendered
and is giving excellent service each
in its own field to the people of
the state of Oregon, which service
must be conserved, therefore, be it
resolved that in these adjustments
in the University of Oregon and
Oregon State college the transfer
of courses and departments shall
be on a basis fair alike to the two
institutions in their respective
fields, and that there be no effort
to build up one institution by tear
ing down the other.”
Board Ponders Issues
Seven major issues were before
the board today for discussion in
Its executive session:
1. Whether pure science shall
stay at Eugene or go to Corvallis.
2. Whether commerce shall be
retained at Oregon State or be re
moved to the University.
3. Whether journalism should be
concentrated at the University fol
lowing the recommendations of the
federal survey.
4. How much of a cut in ex
penses is necessary for economy.
5. Distribution of educational
courses.
G. Distribution of physical edu
cation.
7. Distribution of music.
Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, presi
dent of the University, and Dr. W.
J. Kerr, president of Oregon State,
were in agreement on other points
at issue. ,

ForensicBanquet
Hoeber Presents Awards;
Errol Sloane Gets
A.S.U.O. Shield
As a farewell gesture to the de
parting Pacific Basin debate tour
squad, Robert Miller, Roger Pfaff,
and David Wilson, a banquet was
given at the Anchorage last night
by Delta Sigma Rho, national
forensic fraternity. At that time
debating awards for the year were
made to the men by Dr. R. C.
Hoeber, head of the speech divi
sion and varsity debate coach, and
to the women by W. E. Hemp
stead Jr., instructor in English.
Errol Sloane, senior in English,
was presented with the much cov
eted debate shield by the associ
ated students for three years of
active participation in forensic ac
tivities.
Those to receive a gold pin in
the shape of an “O" for one year's
varsity debate were John King,
Robert Gamer, Rolla Reedy, Betty
Jones, Charles Roberts, Jean Len
nard, Louise Smith, Catherine Mc
Gowan, Alice Redetzke, Neil Shee
ley, Herbert Doran, and Hobart

Bennett, Geraldine Hickson, Roy
McMullen, Lois Reedy, Carl Stuts
man, William Daugherty, Norris

In giving the debaters an offi
cial send-off, Errol Sloane spoke
in behalf of the men's debate di
vision, Mary Caniparoli for the
women, and W. E. Hempstead and
Dr. R. C. Hoeber for the faculty.
Alumni Office Has
Big Summer Job
Planned on Files
“Everyone seems to have • thee
idea that the alumni office settles
down to a nice long rest during
the summer, but I assure you we
do nothing of the sort. When the
school year ends, otir biggest
work begins,’’ Jeannette Calkins,
alumni secretary, stated.
During the school year Old Ore
gon, alumni magazine, and the cor
respondence that pours into the of
fice keeps the staff more than
busy; therefore, all the special pro
jects, such as checking of files, are
reserved for the summer months.
“In the first place, there are 512
new alumni this spring. These
names must all be prepared for the
alumni files, plates made of their
names and addresses for the mail
ing list of Old Oregon, and all this
data arranged in the old files. The
master file is arranged alphabeti
cally and the mailing file geo
graphically.
“All the old files must be care
fully checked and additions and
corrections made, such as are ne
cessitated by change of address,
occupation, or marriage. Data for
this is collected from the newspa
pers and letters sent the alumni.
‘Recruiting’ of
Students Here,
CSC Banned
Greater Oregon Group
Is Disbanded
State College Committee
Stopped; Mimnnugh,
Stipe Speak
All “recruiting" of prospective
students, both here and at Oregon
State college, was finally abolished
yesterday, by action of the student
bodies of the two institutions.
The Greater Oregon committee
is disbanded, and hereafter there
will be no such organization, nor
any Greater Oregon State commit
tee at the state college. All offic
ial "contacting" of high school stu
dents in Oregon during vacations
has come to an end.
Student Leaders Confer
Brian Mimnaugh, president of
the A. S. U. O., and J&ck Stipe,
chairman of the defunct Greater
Oregon committee, left last night
for Corvallis, where they will dis
cuss this and allied problems with
Milton Leishman, president of the
Oregon State student body, and
with the chairman of the once
Greater O. S. C. committee.
The first step toward complete
ly wiping out the “recruiting” sys
tem was the final action taken by
the state board of higher education
at its meeting Wednesday, in which
ail of the state high school con
ferences and meets, held each year
up to now on the campuses of the
University and the college, were
definitely abolished. A reservation
included with this decision provides
only for "special instances where
favorable action is taken by the
board.”
School Leaflets Stopped
The board further decreed that
in the future the publication of all
promotional leaflets and bulletins
will be discontinued, and the re
maining bulletins and catalogues
of courses, not indicated under the
head of "recruiting,” will be put
out under the direction of the
board.
The abolition of the Greater
Oregon committee and the Greater
Oregon State committee by the re
spective student body executives is
the outcome of an official request
made by the state board, and en
dorsed by both President Arnold
Bennett Hall and President W. J.
Kerr.
These three major steps all are
in accord with specific recommen
dations of the federal educational
S survey, which strongly disfavored
student recruiting in all its forms,
as formerly practiced by the Ore
gon institutions.
Enrollment Cut Expected
Going into effect immediately,
the new policy this inaugurated is
expected to cut down enrollment
increases to a considerable extent,
but at the same time to eliminate
many of the evils of the “open
door” system. The federal commis
sion objected especially to the
high-pressure “rushing” methods
used in the past, and to the result
ing drag on scholastic standards.
In substantiation, the commission’s
report pointed to the unusually low
proportion of graduating classes to
entering classes in Oregon institu
tions.
The abandonment of the Greater
Oregon committee by the associat
ed students was made known in an
{official statement released to the
Emerald last night, as follows:
“The Associated Students of
the University of Oregon in the
spirit of cooperation with the
i State Board of Higher Educa
