New York City
The 1932 A. S. U. O. concert
series will open next Sunday after

with the presentation of Georges
Enesco, Rumanian violinist and
one of the outstanding musicians
of Europe. Students will be ad

General admission is 25 cents, with
reserved seats at 50 cents.
Enesco will arrive in Eugene late

with his American tour managers
entrained for the coast. He will
play Monday evening with the
Portland Symphony orchestra un
der Willem van Hoogstraten's di
rection. He is the fourth of five
soloists to play in the Portland
Symphony guest artist series this
season.
Was Child Wonder
Enesco was a child prodigy, en
tered in the Vienna conservatory
at the age of seven. At 11, he won
the first prize in violin composi
tion in the conservatory, one of
the largest in Europe, and before
he was 21, heard an entire pro
gram of his works played at the
Paris Conservatoire, where he was
a prize pupil. After his gradua
tion, he was appointed court vio
linist by Queen Carmen Sylva, and
maintained the position as court
composer under Queen Marie of
Rumania.
Throughout Europe he is ac
claimed as the father of the new
national school of Rumanian com
posers. The New York Philhar
monic orchestra played his work
in 1910, and in 1921 the famous
Flciizaley string quartet played

Oregon Law Dean
To Become LL.D.
At College Today
Morse Will Receive Fourth
Honor Ever Bestowed
By University
The fourth doctor of laws degree
ever to be granted by Columbia
university will today be conferred
upon Wayne L. Morse, dean of the
University of Oregon school of law,
who is now at the eastern shool,
where he completed his work for
the degree and delivered a series
of lectures. Word of this high
honor to be given the Oregon man
was received here in a wire from
Columbia this morning.
Not only is Dean Morse the
youngest dean of law schools in
the country, but he has conducted
law researches and investigations
into criminal justice which have
gained him nation-wide attention.
Outstanding of these have been hi3
national study of the grand jury
system and his leadership of the
Oregon Crime Survey. Dean Morse
received his undergraduate and
masters degrees from the Univer

Dr. Cressman Receives
$500 Archaeology Grant
To continue his archaeological
research work of Pre-Columbian
Oregon, Dr. Luther S. Cressman,
professor in sociology, recently re
ceived a $500 grant from the Na
tional Research council.
Dr. Cressman plans to divide his
work into three parts, the first two
to be finished during the summer.
The first part includes the com
pletion of excavations begun at
Gold Hill last year. He will next
make a study of rock inscriptions
in Oregon, and finally will make
a survey of shell mounds along the
coast.
On The Guard, Men! Co-eds
'Ahunting Will Go’ This Year
The season is open. The hunted
creature turns and relentlessly
pursues the hunter. Leap Year is
upon us.
For the benefit of coeds and fair
instructresses whose thoughts may
wander toward members of the
University staff, the “Pigger’s
Guide” has been consulted to dis
cover who is and who isn’t eligi
ble.
The survey brought out the fact
that there are but 20 eligible men,
so competition is apt to be keen.
However, a brief mention of the
possibilities should be of value.
Are you interested in music and
the arts? Louis Artau and Dean
John J. Landsbury of the school
of music, and Frasier Brownell, in
structor in interior design, are un
attached, according to our author
ity.
Or do your interests lie in the
fields of political or social scienc
es? Professor Waldo Schumacher
and James D. Barnett, of the po
litical science department, and
John H. Mueller, associate profes
sor of sociology, are listed as un
married.
Several English department
members are eligible, but the mor
tality is somewhat high, for we
are informed that Pat V. Morris
sette was married in October.
However, E. C. A. Lesch, S. Steph
enson Smith, and Walter E. Hemp
stead Jr. are still in circulation,
though vague rumors have already
been set afloat by hopeful and de
signing young things.
If you speak German, Edmund
P. Kremer or Eric A. Pollard
should be willing to listen to you.
If it’s French you like best, Ray
P. Bowen, chairman of the Ro
mance language department, is
available.
The dean of the school of busi
ness administration, David E. Fa
ville, is still free, but what is Leap
Year for? Tom Stoddard, once
student body president and now as
sistant graduate manager, is also
still on the eligible list.
In the library, you’ll find John
A. March at the reference desk.
Leonard Hagstrom, University edi
tor, looks like a pretty fair pros
pect; too.
But we shouldn’t advise you to
be too much interested in the other
two eligibles—Clifford L. Con
stance, assistant registrar, or C.
Easton Rothwell, one of the super
visors at University high school
The Pigger's Guide didn't tell us,
but we have been reliably informed
that they have already been driven
to cover.

Question Important
The question that is being’ de

have put forward plans for cooper
ative control of industry.
Campbell is a third year man on
the varsity squad. He took part in
the state extempore speaking con
test last year and in the first state
after-dinner speaking contest. He
is a member of Delta Sigma Rho,
national public speaking honorary
fraternity.

member of the freshman squad
year before last. He participated
in three varsity debates here last
year. He is president of the cam

The debate was to have taken
place Thursday evening, but a
long distance call last night from
the Utah team, which is touring
the Pacific coast, put forward the
event to tonight.

2515 Register
For Semester
At University
Figure 226 Below Last
Year Winter Term
More Expected To Enter
School After First
Few Days j
Just 2515 students had registered
or taken out their registration ma
I terial up to yesterday afternoon,
it was announced by the registrar’s
office. It is expected that there
will be a few more enrolling the
remaining days of this week.
The registration figure is 226
less than that for the second day
of winter term a year ago. A drop
of 355 from the total enrollment
for fall term is also shown.
The decrease from last year’s
figure is held to be primarily due
to financial difficulties. Although
the statistician’s office has not
compiled figures on the number of
students flunking out, it is re
ported that the number is not un
usually large.
The number of "for rent” signs
posted outside living places indi
cates that many students either
have moved to cheaper quarters or
have not returned. Mrs. Charlotte
Donnelly, housing director, says
that though she has not compared
figures, she is of the impression
that more men are living out than
in the past.
Several students who have been
working for several years but who
are now unemployed have returned
to the University this winter and
will somewhat offset the number
who have dropped out. Several
have also returned for graduate
work.
Three Sorority Houses
Robbed During Vacation
Theta, Alpha Xi Delta and Delta
Gamma Entered
A minor crime wave swept over
the campus during the holidays
when three women's houses were
broken into and ransacked. The
sororities reporting the mauraud
ers were Kappa Alpha Theta, Al
pha Xi Delta, and Delta Gamma.
The burglars were surprised and
frightened from the Alpha Xi Delta
house on the evening of December
20 by a student living at the house.
The sorority had evidently under
gone a hurried search but nothing
was missing. The invaders had ef
fected their entrance through the
basement, gaining the main floor
by prying the woodlift to one side.
The Kappa Alpha Theta house
was likewise upset during the ab
sence of the members, although no
objects of any value were taken.
A visit of the campus maurauder
was also reported at the Delta
Gamma sorority.
Champion Rifle Shot of U.S.
Pays Visit to Oregon Campus
With the title of the deadliest
shot in the United States, mild
tnannered, unassuming Lieut. Em
erald F. Sloan, ex-Oregon ’22, paid
the campus a visit yesterday on
his way to a cougar-hunting expe
dition on the upper McKenzie.
Sloan captured the American rifle
shooters’ crown in a three-weeks’
shotmaking contest held at Fort
Perry, Ohio. Twice coach of a
championship team, Sloan narrow
ly missed taking the title the year
before.
"I was leading the field by seven
points,” he narrated in his modest
but enthusiastic manner, “when in
the final stage of the match I was
ordered out to shoot at 7:30 one
rainy morning. The bullseye was
completely obscured by the mists,
and all I could make out was the
number of my target. From this
I calculated the probable position
of the bull and blazed away. I
scored 96 points, which isn’t bad
considering I was working purely
on mathematics, but it wasn’t
enough.”
Undaunted, Lieutenant Sloan re
turned this summer and in the pre
liminary tryouts fought his way
to the select band of 12 who were
to represent the entire United
States army, and then entered into
the field of nearly two thousand
to emerge three weeks later na
tional champion.
Lieutenant Sloan majored in
chemistry when in the University
and was on the track team. Out
of school, he went directly into the
army, was stationed at Honolulu,
Missoula, Montana, and finally at
Vancouver, Washington, where he
is living at present.
Among the various nationalities
shooting at Fort Perry, including
Americans, English, C a n a d ians,
Mexicans, French, Germans, Fili
pinos, Swiss and Norwegians, Lieu
tenant Sloan recalls shooting next
to a Porto Rican, unversed in the
ways of the English, who interpo
lated his shots with gesticulations
and choice oaths in a mixture of
Spanish and Porto Rican, to the
amusement of all his neighbors.
Lieutenant Sloan has been on
the Army team for three years and
has just been chosen to represent
the United States in the Olympic
games next summer. While at
Oregon Sloan held the National
Intercollegiate rifle championship
for two years, 1920 and 1921.
One of the amusing sidelights of
the whole contest was the notori
ety he gained.
