Poll Shows Strong Student
Favor for Arms Reduction
A nation-wide straw vote on dis
armament recently announced by
the Intercollegiate Disarmament
council from their offices in New
York City, reveals 92 per cent of
the 24,345 students voting in 70
different colleges in favor of re
ducing armaments and 63 per cent
for the United States setting an
example by beginning to disarm
without other nations.
The poll shows a very strong
feeling against the compulsory
feature of military training in col
leges. Eighty-one per cent of the
students voting on this question
were opposed to compulsory drill.
On the.other hand, 38 per cent fa
vored eliminating military training
from all colleges. Of those voting
one-seventh had had military
training. Seventy-four per cent of
the votes cast supported American
adherence to the world court upon
the basis of the Root protocols.
All types of colleges participated
in the poll, but there Is little dif
ference in the returns. Among the
outstanding colleges in the poll
were: Yale, Dartmouth, Amherst,
Williams, Wellesley, Mt. Holyoke,
Radcliffe, Vassar, Barnard, Syra
cuse, Bueknell, Pittsburgh, Vir
ginia Polytechnic Institute, Rol
lins, Kansas U., Nebraska, Wash
burn, and many others represent
ing all parts of the country.
Students in institutions with
compulsory drill voted 62 per cent
against compulsion, and schools
with no drill voted 84 per cent
against compulsion.
The questions in the poll and the
results were as follows:
(1) If all nations join in military
and naval establishments intended
for use against each other, how
much disarmament would you fa
vor? (Check approximate figures
desired). 8005 voted for 100 per
cent reduction; 13,914 for reduc

’Shot’ by Godfrey
Is One of Best
JF you saw, in a repent news
reel, a picture of a horse
with a mustache, you were see
ing a “shot” taken by an Ore
gon faculty man and voted by
i Universal News as one of its
two best “laugh shots” of the
entire year.
George Godfrey, direetor of
the public relations bureau, took
movies of the horse when in
Honolulu last summer with the
University of Oregon summer
cruise. He sent them in to the
movie news reel office, which
accepted them. As Universal
produces 104 news reels a year,
Godfrey feels no little pride at
having his pictures win high
honors.

Essay Contest To
Be Offered Again
Resume Competition After
Seven Years’ Lapse;
Open To All
After a period of seven years,
I the Philo Sherman Bennett con
test will again be conducted on the
campus. This contest with an
award of $30 is based on some
phase of the principles of free gov
ernment and is listed under the
journalistic and literary section of
University awards.
It was temporarily discontinued
when it was overshadowed by
other contests which offered much
larger prizes. However, enthusi
asm has cropped up again, the
fund has grown so that much more
than formerly can be offered, and
the contest will be continued with
the recently decided subject of
“The State versus Boloff.”
The subject was decided by a
subcommittee of the faculty com
mittee on awards with the assist
ance of Dr. James D. Barnett, po

Annual Alaskan
Summer Cruise
Plans Announced
Side Trip Up Yukon River
Ineluded in Itinerary
For Student Party
Plans for the fourth annual Uni
versity of Oregon summer cruise
to Alaska were announced yester
day by Alfred Powers, dean of the
extension division. Included in this
announcement was the statement
that a side trip into the very heart
of the rugged, romantic Yukon
river territory, one of the most
unique ventures in Northwest edu
cational circles, will be taken by a
select group of students partici
pating in the cruise.
Accommodations for about 30
persons will be arranged for thi3
3ide trip while the regular cruise
will be limited as usual to about
150.
The Yukon trip, up to Se-.vard,
thence by rail to Fairbanks, along
the Tanana river and then up
along the Yukon and down to
Dawson and on to Skagway, has
the sanction and approval of Ray
Lyman Wilbur, secretary of the i
interior, who personally suggested j
to the University that this trip
be made.
Both the regular Alaskan cruise,
and the extension into the Yukon i
will have faculty members espe-!
cially selected to teach subjects
related to this region, and full
'credit for courses carried will be j
granted.
The adventurous students who
take the Yukon trip will leave
Portland July 19 and the following
day will board the S.S. Admiral
Watson at Seattle, arriving at
Seward on July 27. Here they will
take the Mt. McKinley special July
29 for Anchorage and two days
later will arrive at the famous Mt.
McKinley park, where amid the,
majestic scenery of this great area
they will spend Monday. At Fair
banks, the chief city of the inte
rior and the home of the Alaskan
Territorial college, they will wait
until Thursday, August 4, when
one of the most romantic stages
of the trip along the Tanana river
by boat will begin.
The next seven days wilj be
spent cruising up the Yukon river

Organ Concert
Features Dvorak,
French Themes
I
Beautifully simple and quiet mu
sic predominated at the John Stark
Evans’ twilight organ recital Sun
day, when French compositions
and a movement of Dvorak’s “New
World Symphony” lent their sooth
ing influence to an appreciative
audience.
“Adagio and Allegro—opus 95”
is the first movement of the “New
World Symphony.” The effects of
various organ parts created an
elusive atmosphere that was par
ticularly charming, probably be
cause the theme was of the popu
lar southern melody type, reminis
cent of the composer's visit to
America.
The present organist at St. Sur
plice, Paris, Charles M. Widor,
composed "Andante Cantabile—
opus 13,” which bears a strong re
semblance in style to the preced
ing number.
A feeling of merriment pervad
ed the audience after the brief
“Gavotte — from 'Mignon' ” by
Thomas, but a decidedly different
mood descended upon the audience
with “Chorale—9A minor" by Ce
sar Franck. This is an elaboration
on chorales as they have been de
veloped throughout the history of
church music. Cesar Franck, the
Belgian organist, devoted his life
to composing and interpreting
such music, especially that of,the!
chorale type. His chorales were
an outgrowth of the compositions
of Martin Luther.—E. E.
Date for Senior
Ball Announced
As February 6
Igloo Tentatively Chosen
As Dance Site
Admission Price Lowered;
W- Cress Appointed
Assistant Chairman
The most formal of all Univer
sity dances, the Senior Ball, will
be held Saturday evening, Febru
ary C, it was announced last night
by Bob Allen, who was appointed
general chairman of the dance last
term by Hobart Wilson, president
of the senior class.
This date was selected, Allen
pointed out, at a time when the
basketball team will be on the
road, so that McArthur court can
be used instead of Gerlinger hall,
where the annual event has been
held for several years. The floor
at Gerlinger hall is not considered
to be as good for dancing pur
poses as that of the Igloo,
Committee appointments were
also made public last night, al
though several of the members
have been at work since vacation,
making plans for the one all-for
mal dance of the year.
Cress Named Assistant
Warren Cress has been named
to act as assistant chairman, and
has promised to have the floor in
tip-top shape for the affair. Sev
eral other appointments will be
made by Cress and other members
of the committee to aid in the
work of staging the affair.
Connie Baker will have charge
of all arrangements for the formal
reception to precede the dance.
Invitations to the patrons and pa
tronesses will be sent out in the
next few days. Miss Baker will
also arrange for the refreshments
to be served during the dance.

Oregon Takes Lead
Oregon took the lead immedi

a free throw. Led by Potter and
Calkins, the Webfoots ran up a

Two field goals and two foul
conversions by Cap Roberts, Ore
gon center, plus free throws by
Calkins and Potter, gave the Web
foots a 32-to-14 lead about five
minutes after the second half
opened. At this point Bill Rein

Tryouts for Studio Play
Uncover Campus Talent
About 60 students reported for
the tryouts held Friday afternoon
at Guild hall for the studio plays.
"A lot of good talent was found,”
according to Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt,
head of the drama department,
"but since there were only about
20 parts to be filled, I don’t want
those who tried out and who are
not cast to feel disappointed or
discouraged.”
Casts for the three one-act plays,
directed by members of the classes
in play production, will be an
nounced early this week, Kate Al
i ward, who is in charge of publicity,
stated last night. The plays will
probably be presented late in Feb
ruary, though a definite date has
not been set.
Sunday Offering of Concert
Band Gains Critic’s Approval
By JACK BAUER
The University concert band
stepped out and knocked ’em over
Sunday afternoon in the Music
building auditorium. The one-hour
program brought many rounds of
applause from the overflowing
crowd, and contributed a glowing
bright spot to a dull day.
Director John H. Stehn should be
awarded a large size gold medal
for starting on time. He should be
awarded several gold medals for
the splendid work he has done with
the University band They played
with unity and precision. Their
attacks were firm, their accents
clean. It was a program of good
music well played.
The musicians of the band
proved their metal in Flotow's
“Stradella” overture, excerpts from
Gounod’s "Faust,” including the
“Soldiers' Chorus,” and Hosmer’s
“Southern Rhapsody.” They opened
with the "Marcia Sinfonica, Ingles
ina," by Delle Cese, and played
four short numbers from Massen
et’s “Scenes Pittoresques,” with
the toe-tickling “March of the
Wooden Soldiers” as an encore.
The “Stradella” overture was in
troduced with a quartet scored for
French horns. This year’s horn
section played it well. Only by the
patient teaching of the director
was it possible to get four French
horn players, for the instrument is
possibly the most difficult to play
well of any used in the band.
In the "Faust” melange, solos
by Trumpeters Bill Sievers, Charles
Woodin, and Euphonist Siegfried
von Berthelsdorf were featured.
The “Southern Rhapsody" was
the mainstay of the program, and
the audience took to it from the
start. It omitted the more obvious
southern melodies, and was largely
original; its variety of theme and
