The Kedroff male quartet profess their belief that the human voice is the greatest of musical instruments, and that in the blending of four voices is to be found new aspects of beauty which solo voices can never display. There is much in this theory. Their work and the support it has received argues on their side. The days of the barber shop quartet, crowned in glorious memories, have dimmed with the years of Volsteadian prohibi tion. No more will one find “Sweet Adeline” sung 'nealh the corner arc light by befuddled, but aesthetically sensitive, tipplers. This plaintive ditty must be rendered in hushed tones around the ••kitchen sink. It is the badge of a large evening. And a tarnished badge it has become. It is not difficult to , find a celebrant who can fake a passable tenor harmony. But where are the bassos, and the insidious baritone harmonizers ? Gone, gone with the foaming steins and bubbling glasses. Drinking out of the bottle is scarcely conducive to mellow har mony. Let's hear the Kedroffs, to learn what the days of old might have brought our fathers, and grandfathers. In the harmony of blended voices there is something of peace, much of beauty. Let us seek it, as the scientist seeks the records and memories of lost worlds. Voices Wanted—More Oriental Holidays CRIES of "Banzai,” Japanese war officials, as well as the regular fighting forces, took Thursday ‘.‘off" and drank rare beverages (probably of Chinese origin) in honor of the 2,592nd anniversary of the birth of the first Japanese emperor. What a situation! Here are two countries between which, to be sure, no state of war has been declared, but who are fighting tooth and nail. Neutral powers bitterly protest Japanese actions. Suddenly Japan has a holiday and China, as well as the neutral powers, must pay honor because naval etiquette, by a queer stroke, demands that nations recognize the holidays of other nations when they are in their waters and there is no war be tween them. Today they are at it again. Forgotten is the brief respite — with no impending holiday for some time. More Japanese and Chinese holidays are needed. Perhaps a suggestion might be made that both nations assemble all their available holidays for the next 10 years and enforce them, begin ning Sunday. The holidays of both nations could fall concur rently. This would at least give Japan and China time to think ** over their problems, for both countries have an abundance of holidays and it might do more good than the Kellogg pact, the League of Nations, or the warships of foreign powers. At last the department of agriculture is beginning to learn that the man who tries to make two blades of grass grow where nature intended but one finds himself saddled with an extra blade. The Safety Va I ve An Outlet for Campus Steam All communications art* to be ad dressed to the editor, Oregon Daily Emerald, and should not exceed 200 words in lengrth. Letters must i< aianed, but should the writer prefer, only initial-- will be used. The editor maintains the right t>» withhold publi cation should he see fit. NOT HIS EDIC T To the Editor: Please permit me to correct, the | impression conveyed by the an I nouncement contained in the sec-1 ond column, first page, of Thurs day’s Emerald, especially by the | headline, “Classes on 22ncl to Meet 1 as Usual Is Gilbert's Edict." Ap parently neither the scribe nor the ! headline writer knew that it is n lung-otaudmg 1 policy : of the .‘Urn- j vcrsity, definitely established by tlie faculty vote on March 7, 1928, that “the operations (exercises) of the University shall not be inter fered with by George Washing ton's birthday." In the absence of any action by faculty or adminis tration suspending the established policy, classes will be held as usual without any "edict” from anyone. In making this announcement, my action was ministerial rather than monarchic, delegated rather than despotic. If the desire on the part of your staff is to discredit me with that considerable body of students who come to the University only to en joy their holidays, the article and the headline were admirably de signed for that purpose. Sincerely. J A Aiks-11. GlLBL'Ur. CAMPUS ♦ ♦ ALENDAR Thr* Westminster forum meets at Westminster Sunday evening at 6:30 following a social half hour which begins at 6.

Miss Marjorie Forchemer, dance instructor and adviser for master dance, says that the members are more active than ever this year. Each of the 15 members is respon sible for the leading of a meeting. The production group, made up of senior members, is working out group numbers in addition to the individual dances which have been concentrated on up to now. From time to time guests from other schools visit the group to dance. Among others was Miss Madeleine Goodall, formerly of this University, who is now studying under Graham. The Master Dance group was particularly interested in the Wig man recital given in. Portland re cently.

SCHOLARSHIP AID STU- I DENTS TO GET JOBS; (Continued from Page One) who were given scholarships, 21 of Lhe number have actually gone into the advertising work, six are still it the University, where they are studying advertising and allied subjects, and two are doing grad-! uate work in advertising in New York university, bringing the total up to 29. Many other students from the University have also gone into the advertising field, Prof. Phacher pointed out. Believing that actual experience is the greatest asset that a student can have when he leaves school to aegin his career, Professor Thacher and the Portland firms have worked out a system whereby qualified students may secure summer jobs in the firms. These scholarships, which enable the stu dent to work for eight or ten weeks at a beginner's wage, are offered only at the end of the jun ior year, which gives the student an opportunity to profit by his ex perience on his return to school. The firms who awarded the first scholarships were Meier and Frank, Olds, Wortman and King, Lipman and Wolfe, The Oregon ian, The Oregon Journal, Botsford Constantine Advertising Agency, GJerber-Grossley Agency, and Fos ter and Kleiser Agency. Since that time Bedell and Company, Edmund C. Bechtold and Associates, Earl Punting and Associates, and Trade and Class Press association have been added to the list.

CLARK COMMENTS UPON OREGON’S ANNIVERSARY (Continued from rage One) tion of joining the Union, accord ing to Dr. Clark, were Ashel Bush, then editor and publisher of the Oregon Statesman of Salem, who was also an outstanding democrat ic leader, Joseph Lane, the first territorial delegate to congress and later the first senator from the state, and John McBride, the only republican delegate to the consti tutional convention held at' Salem in 1857. Matthew P. Deady was the president of that convention and John Whitaker of Eugene, a pro-slavery man, was elected first governor of the state in 1858. “During the Civil war, the sen timent was pretty well divided as was shown in the election of 1862 when a republican governor was elected with a narrow margin, in spite of the fact that the early pioneers of Oregon were pro-slav ery men from the South,” Profes sor Clark continued. Dr. Clark, as an authority on Oregon history, has written two books—one “A history of Oregon,” which is at present used in the sixth grade, and "History of the Willamette Valley,” a book used in the department of history of the University. OREGON EARNS PRAISE FOR GOOD WILL WORK (Continued from rage One) Basin Debate tour and other pro jects have been outstanding in this field. President Hall has lectured and written on international topics; Dr. John R. Mez, professor of political science, has travelled abroad and written and lectured extensively; Dr. John Mueller, pro fessor of sociology, toured Russia and has contributed valuable data on conditions there; David E. Faville, dean of the school of busi ness administration, toured the Orient and brought back valuable material on foreign trade, and sev eral other faculty members made contributions that have been re garded as noteworthy. The University also offers num erous courses that deal with inter national relations which have been pointed out as especially valuable in promoting understanding and international good will. CENTRAL INDUSTRY CON- j TROL ARGUED BY OREGON (Continued from Cage One) bert Rasmussen and Daniel Tay lor. The affirmative advanced a plan for control by an advisory board, one department of which would be j statistical, the other devoted to ■ trade regulation. The first negative speaker! blamed the present depression on consolidation in industry with its ! accompanying unemployment prob-1 lem. The undue stimulation of the World war was also elaborated in ! abnegation of the accusal of the j present system. "Our opponents have referred in their speech to a present system,” Espy challenged. "I should like to ask them for a precise definition of the word ‘system.’ We of the affirmative believe the present up heaval is due not to tne presence of any control but to an entire ab sence of any system.” "There is no system, gentle men?" queried Taylor, the second negative arguer. "What then have our economists been doing? Who then can be said to be the prophets 'j of the future? Who then will serve ;j on this board of equalization, of i which you so hopefully speak?" Taylor epitomized the Utopian j state of affairs necessary for the | practical functioning of such a: plan as the one the affirmative had presented. He then described how much distance lies between ordinary times and that stage of idealism. He expressed fears also, that the great powers, that necessarily would have been given to any con trol board, might very easily lead to dictatorship. ' The debate was conducted in 110 Johnson hall by the chairman, j, John L. Casteel, assistant profes sor of'speech.

MILNE CHOSEN TO AID HOOVER DAM PROJECT (Continued from -Page One) suitable for any particular instal lation of each power plant. The tables, which Dr. Milne has already nearly completed, are an addition to those he worked out on damped vibrations in 1923 and lat er in 1929. These tables were pub lished by the University Press, and attracted wide attention. 14 Millions Involved The Hoover dam project is twice as extensive as any like project ever attempted, and it is valued at approximately $14,000,000 in ma chinery and electrical equipment alone. More than 1000 men will be employed for over five years. The dam will rise to a height of 723 feet, and will be 650 feet thick at the base. It will form a lake 115 miles long and 10 miles wide.
