First, there is the crying need for such activity on this cam pus. The student-faculty parties filled a vacant space in campus life, and were immediate successes. The "Beggar's Opera” is another instance of such an endeavor. The road shows pass us by—here’s a group to substitute for them. Secondly, there is the strong element of gentile hokum in the activity. Accompanied by the strident fanfare of publicity, Insinuating its message into every campus activity for the past month, not even excepting two very dignified student music re citals, the ancient and bawdy musical show is now known to everyone. The orthodox publicity campaign in the Emerald's pages has had many elements of cleverness and readability. Thirdly, the importation of a witty and wise man to lay for students and faculty a comprehensive framework of the history, politics, and personalities in public life at the time of the first “Beggar’s Opera" presentation (1728) was a shrewd stroke, and commendable. Lastly, of course, the cast, setting, and actual performance will be authentic in detail, entertaining in toto, and deserving of widespread support. The organic unity of the approach and attack on the situation is admirable. The "Beggar’s Opera” will be a good show. Our Deans and Their Secretaries rpHE student body of the University should give a vote of thanks to the secretaries in the various schools and depart ments of the University for the Herculean tasks they have car ried out so carefully in the past turbulent year. First in importance and staggering difficulty was the task of assembling and typing the several thousand pages of reports and reviews which were requested by the state board in the course of its deliberations. Reports of the physical science de partments ran well over a thousand pages in some instances. Triplicate copies, tables, footnotes, appendices—real work. And all the time the regular functions of the departments had to be carried on. While deans and department heads were frantically assembling the hundred-page tables required of them, the secretaries kept the curricular wheels turning. Business as usual. That there have been no complete nervous breakdowns is an indication of the strength of the University’s staff. Let us hope that the peak of their nerve-wracking ordeal is over. After many an all-night session of dictation and typing, they deserve a chance to enjoy the weather. Deans, department heads, secretaries here's to you. Lawmakers trying to balance the budget are more concerned with a balance of public opinion than anything else. He Got A Job 'T'lIK Thursday Emerald carried the best bit of news that ha - been heard in recent months. A college student successfully passed his exam for a master's degree, turned in his thesis, was offered a job, accepted, and started packing his grip. For a college student to pass a master’s exam and turn in his thesis is itself quite a feat. Hut to receive in 1032 an offer of a job is remarkable. A month from today several hundred graduates will leave Eugene to start their lives. How many of them will have job-, waiting for them? Darn few. How many will still be looking for jobs next winter?

Hal I The spirit of 1728 will dominate the stage of the school of music j auditorium tonight and students of 1932, persons of this intricate age of miraculous machines and ad vancing democracy, will step into it and live the lives of the charac ters in one of the greatest comic operas yet produced, Gay's "Beg gar’s Opera.” It will be a re hearsed invasion into that jolly old world of the early eighteenth cen tury Englishman. ' The stage which will be used to night is one that the producer of a play like the "Shanghai Ges ture” would not once consider. But it is one that can be equipped and set admirably for this early Eng- | lish classic. Bike George Andrein- j ni’s "Hamlet” stage, it more close- 1 ly approaches the theatre of its time. The spirit is what we want. Expression of the moV>d and crea tion of emotional alignment by carefully planted spot lights are the more important tricks of good theatre production. There will be no curtain tonight. There can be none because no nails or screws may be driven in the i walls of the Music building audi torium. Those who attended a per formance of Guild Hall’s “Ham- I let” will remember the complete | darkness between scenes. This ! same stunt will be used for set changes tonight. There is no ques tioning the legitimacy of this trick (it is accepted). I see little reason why this show should not rank high among all the relative productions of the 1 University's history. The clever ness of the music is unquestioned. In all its sparkling sauciness it is among the best of its type I know. As for voices to present these songs a guarantee is provided by a mere listing of soloists.

Hopkins Students Play Concertos In Piano Recital By J. ALMON NEWTON The recital of excerpts from piano concertos presented by five students of George Hopkins at the music auditorium last night, again convinced an audience that Hop kins students always make a fine showing. The technique of Edouise Ballis taken from the standpoint of finger strength, and depth of tone and feeling, was excellent. She played the familiar first movement from the Concerto in D-minor by Ru benstein. Betty Evanson, who appeared first, played the Mozart Concerto in E-flat executing it with care and accuracy. Mosjkowski’s Scherzo from the concerto in E-major allowed Caro lyn Haberlach opportunities to demonstrate speed coupled with ac curacy in a number of intricate .cross-hand passages. Edith Grim played two move ments from the Arensky concerto in F-minor. Although she did not have quite the assurance of the other recitalists, she showed nat ural talent and developed tech nique. Miss Gladys Foster took full ad vantage of Chopin’s Romanza from the concerto in E-minor. Her touch was delicate, yet when the 'score called for power, her nimble fingers supplied it. Mr. Hopkins accompanied all the students on a second piano, giving them all opportunities to keep the listener’s ear, and never dominat ing the performance. BUSH, SCHWEIKER HEAD JUNIOR CLASS LINE-UPS (Continued from rage One) certetl activity, but talk was over heard in the corridor before the parliament meeting. Both groups are lining up strong support among the fraternities and women. The Yeomen, last night, had not declared for either. Nominations for class offices will be held next Thursday in places to be named later by the respective presidents. Elections will be held on the following Tues day. Million People GatKer For Doumer Funeral PARIS, May 12.—(AP)—Paul Doumer, France's assassinated president, was buried today with public ceremonials of great majes ty and impressiveness and with private rites of the utmost sim plicity. A million persons thronged the streets and squares to watch the funeral procession pass from Ely see palace to Notre Dame cathe dral, where the requiem mass was sung, and then to the Pantheon where the dead statesman was eulogized by Premier Andre Tar dieu as “the supreme type of dem ocrat.” When the public funeral was over the body was taken from the Pantheon to the Doumer family vault at Vaugiarard cemetery. Only the widow, the one surviv ing son and other members of the family took part in the simple rites at the ceremony. Gigantic Revenue Bill Up in Senate WASHINGTON, May 14—(AP) — The billion dollar revenue raising bill was rolled into the senate today with a call by Majority Leader Watson for night sessions begin ning next week to speed its pas sage. The measure will be taken up tomorrow and an intent senate lis tened today to the appeal for speed on the budget balancing legisla tion. Watson asked the senate to work for an adjournment by June 10. Blunt notice of a bitter fight to eliminate the four tariff items on oil, coal, copper and lumber was served by five Democratic mem bers of the finance committee who had joined in the support of the tax bill otherwise.

Student officers who in the past have attended conven tions in the East will forego the trips next year. Hall believes that the student parliament will be a great force on the campus, but believes that it should “not tear down, but build j up; should present remedies, not troubles, and the members should bring suggestions not condemna toins.” | He took a stand favoring the continuance of traditions as in struments fostering better friend : ship and loyalty. Freshmen should be led to realize the value of tra ditions, he stated. Awards to the outgoing officers were made by Hall after he took over the gavel.
