Dean Landsbury Explains "Hoiv to Make Lemonade99 Before a packed house at West minster Sunday morning Dean Landsbury explained the “Gentle Art of Making Lemonade’’ in re lation to the attainment of life’s greatest values. In developing the subject he cited episodes of his own life. Every time one meets an adver sity or has a “lemon” handed to him, there is an opportunity to find a lesson, said Dean Landsbury. “The wise man is the one who makes lemonade out of the ’lemons’ that are handed him,” he added. “One of the finest things that can , happen to a man is to be pushed I into a corner where he is forced to make a decision.” Mr. Landsbury started out to be many things in his life. He first prepared himself for music, but was forced to give that up on ac count of an injury he received in his right hand. It was then that he realized that he had “put all the eggs in one basket.” He had concentrated all his efforts to mu sic alone, and when he was told that he must carry his hand in a sling for two years, he went back to college and prepared himself for engineering. “I learned to sit down and figure out things and draw conclusions,” he said. in proceeding iartner witn ms directions on the art of making lemonade, he believed that a man should be strong enough not to take too seriously the opinion of others in regard to the things that are worth while in life. His de fense is his action. Scabbard and Blade Ball To Be Given January 23 Jones Announces Committee in Charge of Dance At a meeting yesterday of Scab bard and Blade, military honorary, plans were laid for the annual mil itary ball which will be held Jan uary 23 at the Eugene hotel. Treve Jones, president of the or ganization, named the following committee to take general charge of the dance: Chairman, Bob O’Melveny; other members, Wayne Emmott, Ira Brown, William John son, John Painton, George Kotchik, and George Pratt. All Scabbard and Blade mem bers will attend and are privileged to invite one guest. Junior and senior cadet officers are also in vited as guests. Patrons and patronesses for the affair will not be announced until later in the week. Enesco Weaves Spell Over Large Audience at Concert Georges Enesco’s concert in Me- [ Arthur court yesterday fulfilled j every expectation of the audience,! and served to show once more the preference of modern listeners for; the music of the classic composers.; Melody dominated in the pro gram, and was exquisitely empha sized, both in the artist’s playing and in the fine accompaniments of Sanford Schlussel. There was a distinct demarkation of the moods and atmospheres of the several groups which aided the audience in clarifying its responses, and added to its measure of apprecia tion. Greater beauty of tone has not been heard in Eugene in many r months. The Handel sonata was doubly enjoyable because of its close re lation to the music of “The Mes siah," heard last term. The music was flavored with a pre-eminence of melody and rhythm. The first, third and fourth num bers of the second group were an tique, both in form and content. The “Bagatelle” was a modern Ru manian composition, carefree and melodic, building to a decisive cli max. In the Pugnani “Largo Ex pressivo,” Enesco achieved beauti ful effects through highly skilled use of pianissimo tones. Schlus sel’s performance of the Kreisler arranged accompaniments was dramatic. The Chausson “Poeme” was the major work of the program. The artist’s tenuous pursuit of the rhapsodic mood and his exquisite tonality made the performance one that will be remembered. A mini mum of technical complication fur ther added to the enjoyment of the piece. Enesco’s technical virtuosity was given full sway in the last group. The purely impressionistic “Foun tain of Arethusa,” from Szyma (Continued on Page Two) Gaelic Drama To Be Covered By Irish Author Lennox Robinson Visits Campus First Time Classifies Erin Playwrights As Among World's Most Colorful Lennox Robinson, leading Irish dramatist, author and actor, will be a campus visitor tomorrow, when he will speak at Guild theatre at 7:30 in the evening. The talk will commence promptly at that hour, since the stage must be available later in the evening for a rehearsal of “Journey’s End.” For many years, Mr. Robinson has been associated with the Ab bey theatre in Dublin, which is known as the “father” of the little theatre movement that has gone all over the world. He is now one of the directors of the theatre, along with William Butler Yeats, Lady Gregory, Walter Starkie, and other world-famed dramatists. Plays Produced Steadily Since 1908, when his first play was produced at the Abbey thea tre, Robinson has produced stead ily, often acting in his own plays. Three of his productions have been presented in London and New York with a great deal of success. Among his outstanding dramas are “The Whiteheaded Boy,” "Crabbed Youth and Age,” and “The Dreamers.” Besides these, he has written a number of short stories, a novel, and has edited the “Golden Treasury of Irish Verse.” Irish dramatists, who are some of the most talented and colorful of the world, will be the subject of Mr. Robinson’s talk. His talk will last about' an hour, and promises to contain a great deal of enter tainment as he is declared to be a (Continued on Page Two) Women’s Casaba League Practice Gets Underway Intra-house women’s basketball which has been discontinued for several years, is being resumed again this year.

Webfoot Charley Takes the Stand For the Ladies Prithee rescue yon faire ladye, Oh brave and hardy knights. If the World war was to ■ make the world safe for democ racy, will the next war be to make the world safe for fem inacy ? Totally disregarding the de parture of forty Japanese to the Land of the Never Setting Sun, we chase old sol around the earth to India and Hawaii. In mystic India, a succinct dispatch tells us, Mrs. M. K. Gandhi has just been arrested. No mention is made of the tra ditional British gali-antry. And now the scene of battle shifts to sun-bathed Hawaii, where rape and murder disturb the calm seas at Waikiki. For ty women, it is claimed, were assaulted in the last year, and naval officials assert that Hon olulu is unsafe for officer’s wives. In contrast with India, Hawaii’s resemblance* to an “armed camp” is due to alleged DEFENSE of women. And Ft. J. Morris, Eugene dog catcher, is staging a strenuous campaign against locftl canines —particularly female ones, I understand. Gallantly, WEBFOOT CHARLEY. ! Good-Will Team Faces Heavy Day The three members of the University Paeifie B isin Good-Will team may have finished their tour, but they are hilled today for »the heaviest schedule of speaking engagements they have ever had.

The showing is not to be at all “amateurish,” promises Russell Brown, Colonial manager. Accom panying music, sound effects and colorful screen lighting will be provided by the theatre’s regular apparatus. A special feature will be the chanting of a New Zealand “Alma Mater” song by Pfaff and Miller in the native language of the Maoris, as pictures of Knox college students doing the “haka” are shown. A few of the high-spots of the pictures will be: Dorothy Dix, fel low traveler, aiding Pfaff in an affair of the heart; the geysers and mud baths of the Rotorua thermal district in New Zealand; tree-climbing kangaroos and live “teddy-bears” in Australia; close ups of the ghats where Hindu dead are burned along the Ganges; a great Buddhist festival in Ceylon; both sides of the Philippine “im perialism” question in picture; how a student “strike” works in China; shots of invading Japanese forces in north China; and the Hawaiian “hula” as interpreted by a young lady of renown.

Sunday Concert To Present Band In First of Series Distinctive Musical Hour Will Be Open to All Town and Campus Campus and townspeople will be treated to a different attraction in the line of musical entertainment for this season, when the Univer sity concert band will make its first appearance of the winter term at the musical auditorium Sunday afternoon at 3 p. m. No admission for students or the public is required for this musical in which the 36 piece concert di vision of the University band will give an hour program of concert music. This University musical organi zation, which, according to records, , is approximately 10 years old, has developed into one of the best group of student musicians in the Northwest. During the football season con siderable attention was directed to the trim-looking 75-piece organi zation. Many compliments were received by the band from various business men of both Portland and Seattle during the games played in those cities. John Stehn, director of the band and member of the music faculty, has selected a group of varied numbers of strict concert type. A feature of the program will be “Southern Rhapsody,” in which Doris Helen Patterson, member of the music faculty, will play the h*rp obligato. This will mark her first appearance with the band, but she has appeared with the Univer sity orchestra many times, and has I made numerous solo appearances. Campus’ Newest Talent To Appear For Krazy Krawl Mullins Promises Original Acts for Approaeliing Adster Frolic “A regular vodvil, the best fea tures that we could get and the best part of it is that most of them are new,” said Francis Mul lins last night in commenting on his phase of the Krazy Kopy Krawl, annual dance sponsored by Alpha Delta Sigma, national ad vertising professional fraternity, and which is being given at Cocoa nut Grove Saturday night. The headlining feature of the evening, according to Mullins, will be a dance given by Ivy Walkum, in school this term for the first time, who was on the Orpheum circuit for four years and who headlined for two years in the Fanchon-Marco “Gold and Black” idea. This will be her initial ap pearance to entertain the campus. Sally Addleman has been slated to croon a few numbers and Marion Camp and Hal Hatton will beat a few tattoos on the floor with tap shoes. A few trio numbers, rendered by the Delt Trio—Bob Holmes, Maurice Kinney, and Abbey Green —will fill out the versatile pro gram. Two more acts which have not yet appeared on the campus are also announced by Mullins. These are the Theta Chi Blue Boys, who will render a brand new song, and Thelma Tefft, another new arrival in the University, who will give a tap dance. Mullins confidently whispered that the eve ning would also be enlivened by the presence of six genuine night club hostesses. rwueiL noimes, in cnarge or music, announced that Abbey Green’s band, popular campus or chestra, had been selected to fur nish syncopation for the evening. Roger Bailey, in charge of tick ets, announced that the ticket sales were very rapid, considering the early date, and urged all the houses to send in their reserva tions as early as possible. New Social Science Organ Has First Number Printed Community News Monthly Is To Be Published Here The social science department announced the appearance yester day of the first issue of the “Ore gon Community News’’ which is to be published under their auspices. “Copies are to be sent to 350 communities in the state in the in terests of social work,” Philip A. Parsons, dean of the social science department stated. Repular pub lication of the four page paper will depend upon available finances, he said, all of which is received in private contribution. The paper is edited by Dean Par sons and Cecil Snyder, former stu dent in journalism at the Univer sity now taking graduate work. It also contains articles by Helen Cammack, president of the Grande Ronde Community club of Polk county, and W. G. Stellmacher, president of the Tangent Commun ity club of Linn county. JuniorsTo Meet This Evening in Villard Assembly rpHERE will l»<‘ a mooting of the junior class in Villard assembly at 7:80 tonight, ac cording to Bah Hall, class presi dent. Ethan Newman, chairman of the committee on ‘‘Tin1 UcmI Mill,” will report the findings of his committee. Hall promises that the meeting will he short and snappy. Tonight’s Soloists For Recital Have Varied Interests Tonight's student recital will be unusual, in view of the personali ties involved. Carl Lemke, senior music stu dent and piano soloist on the pro gram, is a blind student. John Spittle, tenor soloist, is an archi tecture major. George Barron, Spittle's accompanist, is an assist ant instructor in the department of public school music, a capable coach and conductor, as well as an outstanding vocal performer. Of Lemke, George Hopkins, his instructor and head of the piano department of the school of music, yesterday said: "Carl, though blind, learns his music more rap idly and more thoroughly than many students who are not so handicapped as he. Several years ago we tried teaching by the Braille music system, but found it very slow. He had to read with one hand while playing with the other. ‘‘Now, however, he employs a reader, and learning first the har monic structure of the piece, soon learns it. His work is, therefore, more correct and more lasting than that of many students, who learn by note. His ear is not more sensitive than some others, but his sound knowledge of the harmonic struc ture of his music enables him to make rapid progress.” Arthur Boardman, John Spittle’s instructor, characterized his voice as “a young dramatic tenor.” “Spittle is not a music major, and studies only voice in the school of music. However, his mu sical avocation is serious. He is an ardent and conscientious stu dent, and his extensive vocal am bition compensates for a limited theoretical knowledge.” Driveway Will Connect University With lltli St. A new driveway is to be cut through the campus from Univer sity street to Eleventh avenue just north of the Architecture building, according to George York, super intendent of buildings and grounds. In the past motorists have had to turn around at this point and drive back up University street to 13th but the new road will alle viate this trouble as well as re lieve traffic congestion due to nar rowness of the street. Students have been employed to do the work and were on the ground yesterday but the weather prohibited the actual start of con struction. Money for the work will come from the recently graduated un employment fund to help students. Basin Debaters To Be Greeted Officially Today Eleven o’Clock Classes Dismissed Trio Will Give Ten-Minute Talks on Trip at Assembly \ Topping the University welcome given the Pacific Basin debate team, 11 o’clock classes will be dismissed for the campus-wide of ficial welcome assembly to be held at McArthur court, this morning. This assembly will climax the student welcome given the three debaters under the chairmanship of Clifford Beckett, since their re turn to the campus Friday. Each of the three will give an informal 10-minute talk. Bob Mil ler, manager of the tour, will speak first and has as his subject, "Students in Revolt.” Dave Wil son, publicity director, will talk next on "America in the Head lines.” Roger Pfaff, speech direc tor, will give an account of the current situation in the Orient through his talk ‘.‘Traveling Through War-torn China.” All of the debaters have prom ised to make their speeches short in order that the assembly may be concluded in ample time for lunch. Brian Mimnaugh, president of the associated students, will pre side. "Practically all of the time of the assembly will be given over to th debaters,” Mimnaugh said. “These students have actually seen and passed through that part of the world which today has attract ed much attention of all people interested in international affairs, and they are going to tell us, in formally, of their experiences.” The debaters have more speak ing engagements today than they have had any time during their entire trip. This includes the as sembly program, a luncheon at the Rotary club and four engagements at the Colonial theatre. YWCA Cubinet Will Meet Tuesday at ‘Y’ Bungalow Helen Chaney, President, Sets Meeting for Four o’clock A meeting of all seniors on the Y. W. C. A. cabinet has been called by Helen Chaney, president, for 4 Tuesday night at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the Y. W. C. A. as it now stands, to find its superfluous points, to maki additions and changes, and to place a new meth od of electing officers and system of choosing cabinet members. Christmas Sale of Books At Co-op Rated Successful The University Co-op store en joyed large sales of books during the Christmas rush. Although many were recommended in con nection with courses, many others were not, yet sold well. Among the best sells were, Bos well’s “Life of Samuel Johnson,’’ “The Story of the World’s Litera ture,’’ by John Macy, “Bernard Shaw,” by Frank Harris, and the complete works of William Shake speare. Tragic, Light Themes Blend In Evans9 Tivilight Program John stark Evans presented his first Twilight organ recital of the term Sunday before the traditional large crowd. The program was varied, includ ing some compositions of a pow erfully tragic nature blended with light numbers by modern compos ers. “Andante Fifth Symphony’’ by the great Russian composer, Tschaikowski, is charming because of the skillful development of a melody throughout the entire com position. Mr. Evans’ interpreta tion especially brought out the weird, tragic element and poignant sweetness of the various moods that make the composition so popular. Two numbers of Sibelius fol lowed the “Andante," "Symphonic Tone Poem—Finlandia," dedicated I I by the composer to his native land, Finland, and "Valse Triste.” The organ rolled out the grand chords and powerful patriotic theme, which, with discriminating execu tion of thunderous and briskly mil itary contrasts made it especially appealing. The picture of a dying woman and her visions of a death dance was depicted in the second number. A light, picturesque vein was suggested by “Midsummer Ca price,” Johnston. The mood was reminiscent of a poem by Milton. “Bells of St. Anne de Beaupre” by Russel, who is organist at Princeton university, was a de scriptive number containing the chimes of St. Anne church, Beau pre, Canada, the gathering of the faithful, chanting of the choir, the procession, miracle, benediction, and bells in the distance.
