NUMBER 55 ASUO Officers To Be Checked For Eligibility No Unregistered Person May Hold Position All Possibility of Repealing Last Terms Episode To Be Halted A central office to check on the eligibility of ail students appointed to A. S. U. O. positions and certify Irma Logan ; their registration in the University, will be set up im mediately, Brian Mimnaugh, presi Ident of the asso ciated students, said yesterday. | The plan has I been devised to keep non-Univer s i t y - registered men and women from holding campus appointive ornces. Irma Logan in Charge Irma Logan, secretary of the student body, will be in charge of the checking work, Mimnaugh said. All appointments made by any elected officer of the A. S. U. O., publications officials, or sports managerial heads must first be handed to Miss Logan for verifica tion. When checked for eligibility they will be approved for announce ment to the campus, according to Mimnaugh. Formation of the checking of fice resulted from an expose in the Emerald last term of the Mathews case, in which a student not regis tered in school held three campus appointive offices. Following the first disclosure, other cases came to light and Mimnaugh moved to prevent a possible recurrence of the situation. KechecUing Promised Appointive positions that con tinue from one term to another are to be rechecked at the first of ev ery new term, it is announced. “In establishing this checking system,’’ Mimnaugh said last night, “we will be absolutely sure that every student receiving any sort of committee or staff appointment on the campus is eligible to hold the position. It is a good move.” Tea To Be Given by YWCA Advisory Board Monday The Y. W. C. A. advisory board in connection with the associate and honorary members will give a tea Monday from 2:30 to 4 o’clock at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow, ac cording to Mrs. John Maxwell Adams, president. Marcia Seeber, visiting national Y. W. C. A. secretary, will speak on the place of advisory boards in student organizations, and the part of the national association in the local set-up. Leader John Stehn, who will direct the hand in tomorrow’s concert. This I will be the band’s first appearance this term. John Stark Evans Will Play French Themes Sunday Organ Recital Sunday Also To Depict Impression Of America French compositions will pre dominate in John Stark Evans’ twilight organ recital Sunday, which will begin at the usual hour, 5, and will last about forty min utes. Although “Adagio and Allegro— op. 95” from the “New World” Symphony is written by Anton Dvorak, and is reminiscent of the composer's visit to America, the three remaining numbers are de cidedly French in nature, being written by outstanding organists and composers. Charles M. Widor, contemporary musician of Paris, wrote “Andante Cantabile—op. 13,” and “Gavotte” from the charming “Mignon” is composed by Thomas. The last number, “Chorale— A-minor,” by Cesar Franck, great French organist, is famous for its elaborate development of a simple chorale theme. Underground Study Will Be Feature of Field Trip Professor Warren D. Smith’s class in physiography will make a field trip today to one of Oregon’s cement companies at Roseburg. The class expects to find some very interesting structural and stratagraphic problems at the mines which will tie-up with their present class work. The class will be taken under ground where they will climb several hundred feet in to the stopes in making their stud ies of the various structures. "Mighty Oregon" Composer First U of O Band Director t It was back in 1921 that Albert Perfect, composer of Oregon’s tra ditional school song “Mighty Ore gon,” came to the University as a faculty member for a period of three years. To him might be given the title of "father” of the University band, which today has become one of the best organiza tions of its kind in the Northwest. At this early period, however, the band lineup consisted of a very few students and was merely a pep band. Mr. Perfect, who is now teaching privately in a junior college out of Los Angeles, in stilled a spirit in the band which today still lives—the spirit which gives that atmosphere to football and basketball games. Andrew “Landles was the next director. To him is given the credit of starting concert work in the band. The concerts consisted, however, or only one appearance during the year at a student as sembly. Landles, who is teaching privately around Eugene, was di rector for two years. A former Portland Symphony player, Walter Farris, then took over the directorship in 1927. It was during Farris' three-year pe-| 1 riod that the band started attend ing the Oregon-Oregon State foot ball game at Corvallis and the games in Portland. Farris was a military man and is now with the Hill Military academy as director of the band. It was three years ago that John Stehn, graduate of Grinnel college in Iowa, with an M.A. from the University of Iowa, came to the University from the University of Oklahoma, where he was teaching mathematics. In his college days Stehn played oboe and clarinet in the band and orchestras of the two institutions he attended. He also played in the Oklahoma Sym phony. At present he plays first French horn in the University or chestra. Much credit is due Stehn for the development of the band since he enrolled with the University fac ulty. One reason for this develop ment is that two years ago upper division credit was not given the members. Only the two years of military credit was given. In tomorrow’s concert the at mosphere of finesse will be added by the striking new uniforms. The (Continued on Page Two) i Band Will Play Tomorrow in First Concert ' Two Programs Planned For Winter Term Presentation Open to Town And Campus People Free of Charge The University concert band will give its initial appearance this year at the school of music audi torium Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock. This hour of concert is open to the public and no admis sion will be required. This concert will be the first of two concerts to be given this term. The next program will be given Sunday, February 28, at the Music buildipg. During the spring term the band will give outdoor con certs on the mill-race every Sun day afternoon. Italian March First “Inglesina,” a march by Delle Cese, is the first number on the program. It is a typical Italian military march. Florid melodies, elaborate woodw i n d embellish ments, and startling dynamic con trasts make this number almost without equal as a military march. The overture “Stradella” by Von Flotow, known best by the lovely horn quartet which opens the num ber, is the second to be given. A bright middle section is followed by a majestic finale. "Scenes Pittoresques” by Jules Massanet is a number showing the composer’s variable ability. The titles of the four movements de scribe the suite accurately: Marche, Air de Ballet, Angelus, Fete Boheme. It presents the composer in an entirely different mood from that of “Phedre Over ture,” which the band played last year. “Faust” on Program Gounod's selection, "Faust,” con tains the well-known “Soldiers Chorus” and waltz, together with other melodies from this opera, which ranks as one of the most popular operas of all time. The last number is the colorful “Southern Rhapsody” by Lucius Hosmer, an American composer. Harp obligato in this number will be played by Doris Helen Patter son, member of the music school faculty. This is her first appear ance with the band, but she has made appearances with the Uni versity orchestra and numerous solo appearances. This composition is a skillfully blended fantasia on southern airs, and original melodies based on fa miliar Dixie rhythms. Humor, pathos, and gayety alternate throughout the number. The har monies and rhythms are intricate at times. Law Honorary Pledges Get Phi Delta Plii Ribbons Five law students were sum moned from work for a short while at 10:50 yesterday morning to don ribbons in the hall of the school and become pledges of the local chapter of Phi Delta Phi, na tional law honorary. Francis Hill, Portland, and George H. Layman, Eugene, both second year students, and Arthur Ireland, Portland, Karl Huston, Al bany, and John Long, Roseburg, first year law students, are this /ear’s pledges, and those being con gratulated between classes yester day. Membership is primarily based on scholarship, stated William Knight, president of Chase Inn chapter here, in making the an nouncement. Initiation will be held sometime within the next few weeks. Dr. Sanborn Will Speak At Philomelete Meeting “Ferns and Mosses” will be the discussion topic for the nature group of Philomelete, which meets tomorrow afternoon in the wom en's lounge of Gerlinger. Dr. Ethel Sanborn, head of the plant biology department, is to give a short talk on the subject, A.nna Evans, president of the group, announced. The meeting will begin promptly it 3:30. I Trying to Forget the Wa As the time for the big enemy offensive draws near, the group of English officers in a front-line dugout do their best to forget the horrors of the conflict. In the above scene from “Journey’s End," which closes its run at Guild theatre this afternoon and this evening, are, left to right: Jack Stipe, Warren Gram, Leonard Dart, and Walden Boyle. Two Critics Unite in Praise Of War Drama Presentation By S. STEPHENSON SMITH The Guild hall company played Sherriff's “Journey’s End” in a style which would have passed muster before an English audience. The script is a hard one for Amer ican players, for the English play wright shows quite accurately that his countrymen eased the shock of front trench warfare by keeping up their Dickensian humor; also, they took great pains to maintain their amateur standing: indeed, the war is presented in this play from a domestic angle, as a war run by civilians, lately schoolboys —which is pretty close to the truth. But the players had mastered this atmosphere so well, and kept so perfectly in their assumed Eng lish characters, that it required none of the effort usual in the theatre to suspend one’s disbelief. For once, there was no patronizing talk in the lobbies; and not even the captious murmured “Pretty good for amateurs.” (Continued on rage Two) Pendell To Speak Next Tuesday on Human Relations ‘Institutionalism’ Provides Topic for First of Lecture Series The second of a series of free University lectures for winter term will be presented riext Tues day evening at 7:30 in Guild thea tre. Dr. Elmer Pendell of the depart ment of economics will give the lecture, the topic of which is “In stitutionalism: A New Econom ics.” Throwing new light on hu man relations by systematic exam ination of the structure of an in stitution is the theme of the lec ture. Dr. Pendell’s definition of an in stitution is: “An insitution is a set of slow-changing relationships in which an individual’s conduct is influenced predominantly by the supposed expectations of other in (Continued on Tape Two) Hell’s Popping In Wisconsin, Notes Charley “God give us men, A time like this demands ...” The ice is broken. Unemployment insurance spectre of round-face'd business men, will become a reality in Wisconsin. Governor Philip La Follette, son of “Fighting Bob,” deals another blow at conserva tive business with this new ad dition to his program of con structive social legislation. While others wail, warn or whistle, Wisconsin works—and acts. "If ye let ’em live, ye got ta feed 'em,” she says. And from Spokane we hear the contractors association con demns the “practice of oppres sive wage cuts.” Quick, Watson, a glass of wa ter. Thank you, I'm better now. Weakly, WEBFOOT CHARLEY. By WELDON A. KIRIS “Journey’s End" has been termed “a moving document against war.’’ Drama students presenting this stirring war play, pictured with touching reality the fact that war takes the finest and bravest men in the land. Leonard Dart plays the role of Captain Stanhope, a ybung com pany commander who had been in the trenches three years fighting with himself to stand the terrific [ nervous strain and drowning his I fears in drink. His work was par ticularly good. Dart had many tense and emotional scenes that were well portrayed. The seriousness of the situations were relieved by the cheerfulness and comedy of Walden Boyle as Second Lieutenant Trotter. Boyle showed marked ability and clev erly handled his part as a slow thinking rather simple-minded British Tommy. Warren Gram played the part of Lieutenant Baleigh, a young Eng (Continued on Pape Two) All in Readiness For Big Ballyhoo Danee at Grove Molif To Carry Out Idea of Former Years Willi Advertisements Plans for the “rip roarin’est” Krazy Kopy Krawl in history are laid and everything is in readiness for the annual Bob JUKI Holmes > Ylplia Delta Sig \ na, professional \ idvertising fra > ernity, dance at ! ^ocoanut Grove | onight, accord i n g t o Bob lolmes, co-chair nan of the event, n an announce nent late last light.

He announced the following numbers: Ivey Walk urn, who for four years was with the Orpheum circuit, and who headlined in the Fanchon-Marco “Black and Gold” idea for two years, will be the feature attrac tion. This, according to Mullins, will be her initial appearance on the campus. Something else in the way of dancing will be furnished by the team of Hatton and Camp, well known on the campus for their aovel tap dancing act. Another tap dance,to be given by Thelma Tefft. has also been listed. This will be Miss Tefft's initial performance in campus circles. The Delt trio, consisting of Maurice Kinney, Bob Holmes, and Abbey Green has been secured to vend something in the way of vocal syncopation, and will be spelled by Sally Addleman.

Comparison with the honor roll of fall term last year shows a de crease of 35 students attaining the distinction this year. In the first quarter of 1930, a total of 128 stu dents comprised the largest honor roll in the history of the Univer sity. Honor Roll Decreases James H. Gilbert, dean of the college and chairman of the schol arship committee, in discussing the decrease said that it was probably due to a tightening up of grade standards, but declined to make a definite statement until complete figures could be consulted. Women students led the men on this fall’s honor roll, placing 53 on the list to 40 for the men. The names of 20 freshmen appear on the roll. Students making all A’s are: Margaret Kent Atwood, Corvallis; James Charles Kenneday, Mult nomah; John Henry King, Free water; David Carnahan Williams, Portland; Margaret Elaine Wil liams, Elgin; Elma Doris Have raann, Lucy Howe, and Thelma Eleanor Lund, all of Eugene. 29 From Portland The complete roll follows: Portland students—Nancy Arch bold, Barbara Barker, Margaret Clark, Mary Cox, Eva Davis, Mah lon Day, Leslie Dunlap, Laurence Fischer, Gladys Foster, Frances Frazier, Otto Frohnmayer, John Haviland, Eileen Hickson, Gerald ine Hickson, John Hogl, Arthur Ireland, Stephen ICahn, Jane Kanzler, Barbara Leisz, Leon Ses sine, Robert Van Nice, Otto Von derheit, George Wallmann, Alice Wedemeyer, Eleanor Wharton, David Williams, Chloethiel Wood ard, and Janet Young.

This course is given under the auspices of the extension division and was request ed by the Eugene Obsidian club. This non-credit course, which is open to townspeople, is taught by nine members of the University faculty, specializing in different fields. The course is given Monday evening at Condon hall. Evening classes on the whole in the extension division are quite satisfactory this winter term. Courses are given in “Main Ten dencies in Contemporary Litera ture," by Ernst, "Problems of j Prosperity and Depression,” by j Morris, “Intellectual History,” by Fish, and “Methods in Teaching Health," by Dr. Henrietta Morris of Portland. ‘Webfoots’ Poll on I Match Lighted to McArthur of Debt JJUOH ItOSSON, graduate manager, will light a match to a pile of papers this after noon, and as three interested witnesses look on $150,000 will go up in smoke. Hut there will he looks of satisfaction, not hor ror, on tile faces of the assem bled four as the flames dart up to consume the papers. The burning ceremony will see the official destruction of the McArthur court bonded in debtedness, finally paid off by the A. S. U. O., and leaving the Igloo free of debt. While Mr. Ilosson burns the bonds, James Dezendorf, Omar Palmer, and Brian Mimnaugh will officiate as witnesses. Co-ed Registered In UofO Band for First Time Ever Majority i to When the University concert band, dressed in natty uniforms, appears at the music auditorium tomorrow, the old proverb of “wo man’s place is in the home” will again be disrupted, contradicted, dislodged, or what have you. For the first time in the history of the musical organizations whose history goes back to 10 years ago, the enrollment of the band will be featured by the inclusion of a freshman woman student. Betty Jane Burke, freshman in English, is the University student who holds this distinction. Before coming to the University she played in the band and orchestra of Burlingame high school, Bur lingame, California. She also plays with the University orchestra. "Because Miss Burke is a very capable player and also because bassoon players are not plentiful, she has been selected to play in the concert tomorrow,” said John Stehn, director of the band. Oregon, however, is not the first to claim this distinction as the Oregon State college band has two women players on their line up. Although many women players are found in the high school bands, Lhe trend has not reached the uni versities and colleges. The distinc tion is still unusual. KIWANIAN8 HEAR SCHMIDT F. G. G. Schmidt, head of the German department, will speak at the Kiwanis club luncheofl Monday noon. He will talk on "Observa tions Made in Europe.” Wins Big n Campus earn Name y _ 'Ex-Council To Consider Question Wednesday ‘Trappers’ and ‘Pioneers’ Far Outvoted; Definite Figures Larking BULLETIN The approximate compilation of votes, given to the Emerald at midnight last night, is ns follows: Webfoots . 410 Trappers . 48 Pioneers . 45 Yellowjaekets . 12 Lumberjacks . 7 Total 522 Webfoots it is. By a substantial majority, al though official figures had not been compiled for publication at a late hour last night, the present and traditional name of Oregon’s athletic teams won the verdict of student sentiment in yesterday’s campus-wide poll, Walt Evans, vice-president of the A. S. U. O., announced. The names Trappers and Pio neers were in close running for second place, with Yellowjackets and Lumberjacks poor fourths and fifths. Not more than 600 votes were cast, it was estimated unofficially by the counting board. In the section of the ballot left for votes to suggest additional names, Spartans and Spearsmen appeared to be the favorites. Many others were suggested, some entirely unusable, while others showed cleverness and originality, the counters said. Some ballots carried a combination of names such as Pioneer - Webfoots and Trapper-Pioneers. The A. S. U. O. executive coun cil, in a meeting next Wednesday, will consider the question, basing a decision on the result of the campus-wide poll, Brian Mim naugh, president of the associated students, said yesterday. Marria Seeber Will Talk To YW Fellowship Group Marcia Seeber, visiting Y. W. C. A. secretary, will be the princi pal speaker at the World Fellow ship group meeting to be held Mon day evening at 8:30 at the bunga low, according to Helen Binford, chairman. “Student Life in England” will be the subject of Miss Seeber's talk. Everyone is cordially invited to attend this fireside gathering. Refreshments will be served. Honolulu Case Exaggerated By Newspapers, Funai Says The Hawaiian islands, “the par adise of the Pacific,” are true to their name. Honolulu is not only a city where real internationalism prevails but it is also an American city where American citizens of both sexes and of all races are safe and happy, Richard Funai, a Jap anese member of the International house from Honolulu, said yester day when asked to comment on the newspaper reports concerning assaults on white women commit ted by Hawaiians of mixed blood there. “The newspapers have exagger ated the facts on the recent as saulting and attacking case in Honolulu,” Funai said. “If the vic tim were a Japanese or a native Hawaiian woman, and not the young and attractive wife of an American naval officer, the news about the incident would hardly have spread beyond the city limits.” Funai was born in Honolulu and has lived there before he came to the United States to get a college education. He is at present en rolled as a senior in the Eugene Bible college and expects to enter the University next fall. “Hono lulu,” he continued, “is just like any metropolitan city on the coast or elsewhere in the union. Crime of this kind happens anywhere every once in a while. It should not be surprising, therefore, if it was committed in Honolulu.” Funai explained that A1 Moana, a district near the beach of Wai kiki, where Lieutenant Massie’s wife was attacked, is a new sub urb. It is a place of questionable reputation and naturally frequent ed by gangs of delinquent boys and men. If the young naval of ficer’s wife went there, she was exposed to the danger of being a victim of the whims and caprices of any of the members of these gangs, he stated. “It is exceedingly regrettable that Mrs. Massie was attacked. However, that this incident hap pened does not mean that ‘Hono lulu is unsafe for naval officers’ wives. It is also a pathetic thing that Lieutenant Massie, his soci ety-known mother-in-law, and two enlisted men of the navy toox the law in their own hands and mur dered the accused attacker of Mrs. Massie, thus prolonging the whole story,” Funai concluded.
