The cast for the play includes Helen Sargent, Violet Ellis, Ted Pursley, Ethel Armitage, Clare Maertens, Elise Schroeder, Na than Berkham, Eugene Allen, and Franklin Evenson, pianist. Approximately 15 Lane county delegates will make the trip. Any one interested in going may call Elise Schroeder at 1576. Owner of Retrieved A.S. U.O. Ticket Teaching in Bulgaria Hilda Jones, who lost a student body ticket behind a telephone in Susan Campbell hall nine years ago, is not on the campus, but her brother, Curtis Jones, is a sopho more here now. The card was re trieved last week, and the story of its recovery published. Miss Jones is now teaching in cause, and one would smile at ut garia. According to Curtis, she has almost completed two years of her three year contract. At the end of three years abroad, she is planning to return to the United States by way of the Orient. Hilda Jones was enrolled at the University of Oregon for only one year, going to Iowa State univer sity to graduate, and obtaining her masters degree from Columbia uni versity in New York. During her stay in Europe, she has traveled over most of the con tinent. Christmas vacation at! American college covers 25 days, so Miss Jones was given ample time to visit Paris, and while there, took a course in the Uni versity of Paris. Last summer she visited Monte Carlo, and the Mediterranean. During the com ing vacation, she is planning to visit Palestine, and the Near East. Possibly missing a football game or two during the fall term of 1923-22 through the loss of a stu dent body ticket doesn’t mean so much after all. Certainly she has seen enough interesting and excit ing things since to more than make up the difference. Editor, Manager Posts Applicants To Be Considered fTHE PUBLICATIONS com mittee will meet at 4 o'clock today to consider the petitions of applicants for the editor ship of the Emerald and Ore gana and the business man agerships of the two publica tions. The session will be held in the office of Hugh Rosson, graduate manager. The petitions will be read only at this meeting. The com mittee will set a date for the oral examination of candidates.

Win Honorable ‘ Mention Amid a chaos of shouts, bal loons, peanuts, spinning wheels and ice cream, Pi Kappa Alpha and Alpha Omicron Pi were awarded the silver cups for the most popular booth at the A. W. S. all-campus carnival, held last Saturday night a.t the Igloo. These cups were awarded for the first time last year, being given to the booth at the carnival which is the most attractive and takes in the most money. The win ning booth this year, selling ice cream, soda pop, and candy, was decorated in Eskimo fashion, white crepe paper icicles dripping from the ceiling, and a very cold look ing scene forming the background Sigma Kappa and Alpha Tan Omega, whose booth featuring a crap game, was called “Monte Carlo”; and Kappa Kappa Gamma and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, man aging a roulette wheel, received honorable mention in the contest.

Say City Fathers; Traffic Regulation Talked The city council took no action last night on a proposal to extend the boundaries of the so-called “University zone,’ within the limits of which retailers may not sell beer on draught. For the time be ing, at least, the boundaries will remain as announced. Mayor Elisha Large also re ferred a request from Dick Neu berger, editor of the Emerald, to have stop signals placed at two important intersections on the Uni versity campus to the police traf fic committee. Neuberger filed the request at the urge of students and faculty members, who recog nized the traffic perils at 13th and University and 13th and Kincaid. Members of the traffic committee are George Simon, Percy Edwards and Art Hendershott. The request from Neuberger to Mayor Large follows: “Relative to our telephone con versation of today, I am sending you this brief request. "Numerous students and facul ty members have called to my at tention the possibility of serious traffic mishaps at the corners of 13th and University, and 13th and Alder. They have requested that I assist them, in my capacity as edi tor of the school paper, to have stop signals set up at these inter sections. “Thus, I would appreciate your placing this matter before the traf fic committee of the council, uring them to take immediate action in the matter. I am sure you will agree with me that safety devices of some sort are imperative at the aforementioned corners. Cars speed in and out of the city at a perilous rate there all day. Stu dents and faculty members con tinuously walk back and forth across the intersecting streets. There have been numerous close calls and on several occasions there have been minor mishaps. It is major accidents which we seek to avert. “I know you will agree with me that the students deserve this pro tection. And I know that no group will obey the regulation more con scientiously than the students of the University if stop street sig nals are installed. "If at any time I can be of serv ice to you, do not hesitate to call upon me. We appreciate deeply your interest in this matter.” Lowell Miller To Give Lecture Here Tonight The first of the series of lec tures to be held this quarter under the sponsorship of the law school faculty and Phi Delta Phi, law honorary, will be given tonight by Lowell Miller, adjustor for the Hartford Indemnity company of Portland. He will speak on “The Practical Phases of Suretyship.” Miller attended the Stanford law school and comes from a fam ily of men well known in the legal profession, his brother being dean of the law school at Duke univer sity. He has had a great deal of experience in his field and knows j it thoroughly. Members of Phi Delta Phi will entertain Mr. Miller at dinner, after which the lecture will begin at 7:30 Diplomat Off For Bay City On Way Home Matsuoka Leaves Wreath On Portland Crave REMEMBERS FRIEND Alumnus To Quit Nan Francisco Thursday for Japan; Train Goes Through Eugene PORTLAND, Ore., April 10— (Special) Yosuke Matsuoka, dis tinguished University of Oregon alumnus and head of Japan’s dele gation to the League of Nations, left here for San Francisco last night at 9:50 in the special car bearing the Japanese delegates. The scheduled train passed through Eugene at 1:20 this morn ing. Matsuoka and his party will leave San Francisco this Thurs day for the land of cherry blos soms, where the famed diplomat and his associates will report the results of the recent Geneva con ference to the head of the Jap anese government at Tokyo. Places Floral Tribute Yesterday, Yosuke Matsuoka stood by the grave of Mrs. Isabelle Dunbar Beveridge in the Lone Fir cemetery here and placed a beauti ful floral tribute on the headstone he had erected at the last resting place of his boyhood friend, speak ing low and slowly as he paid re spect: “It is a kind of fate, I can't tell to this day why she took care of me, why she loved me I know she loved me and she cared for me as though I had been one of her own boys. Memory Next to Mother “The memory of her kindness is fresh in my mind,” he said, “and next to my own mother, who now ; awaits me in Japan at the age of ! 90, Mrs. Beveridge is dearest In my heart of any other person. I was a wild little boy when she and her brother, William Dunbar, took me into their home here.” The most famous of Japanese diplomats visited this home, which is on Akjer street, near Four teenth, yesterday and was sur prised and grieved to note that the old Portland high school had been torn down.

Muted strings, a soft vibrant or gan background, soft, clear piano accompaniment, and a mello mez zo-soprano voice singing made Schubert’s “Ave Maria” very love ly, with the bells of the organ add ing an exquisite touch. As though she has affection for her instrument, Elaine Moore seems to touch the keys almost gently. Although Chopin’s waltzes are all known, his “Waltz in A Elat” is perhaps one of the most popular. Miss Moore played this (Continued on Pai/c Pour) ! Campus Calendar Master Dance announces the pledging of Miriam Henderson and Marion Vinson.

Several weeks ago in many Cali fornia towns, each boasting a pop ulation of some 50,000 people or more, the streets were rolled up as early as (i o'clock, very literally speaking. Take it from Bob Parke, sopho more in the school of physical ed ucation and triple-threat football star, that "roll” is a very inade quate word to express the havoc done to streets in his home town, Liong Beach, California, in the re cent earthquake. Huge cement blocks were broken apart and moved many feet, often on top of sidewalks, as if savage hands from inside the earth had lifted them from their foundation. Bob reached Long Beach five days after the huge quake which resulted in so much loss of lives and property. By that time, he said, a great deal of the debris had been cleared away, but the en tire city was still in "a mess.” Work was already started on the condemnation of numerous build ings which were still partially standing. During his vacation in Califor nia, Bob said, there was an aver age of 10 or 12 tremors a day, with the majority of these occur ring after nightfall. As to the sen sations felt during these quakes, Bob would liken them to those Describes Quake % ;SSSC: W: -W '- ■ 4■ • ••'" • '■ Hobert l*arke, triple-threat foot ball star, who says the debris after the southern California earthquake filled streets of Long Beach, his native town. ‘ _ . feelings acquired at the desecent of an airplane. A whispering noise, growing more and more in to a loud grumble, accompanies the tremors. During such quakes, it seems that the tables are turned, and earth has all power over man. One (Continued on Page Three) rA Winter’s Tale’ To Be Presented As Spring Drama _ For the annual spring play which usually takes the form of a dramatic spectacle. Shakes peare's “A Winter’s Tale” will be offered this year on two succes sive week-ends, May 19 and 20, and 26 and 27. A production of this semi-comic, semi-tragic romantic drama, writ ten among the last of Shakes peare's works, offers lovers of Shakespeare an unusual opportun ity of seeing one of his less fre quently acted plays. Until this present century, “A Winter’s Tale" was in the repertoire of many cel ebrated Shakespearean actors. We find such famous names as John Kemble, David Garrick, Charles Kean and Sarah Siddons connect ed with it. In America Mary An derson and Viola Allen appeared as the lovely and tragic queen, Hermione. In the current theatre there are few Shakespearean repertory com panies. At the Shakespeare Me morial theatre, Stratford-on-Avon, ■ the play is kept alive. These play ers carried it among their offer ings on their last American tour. They played it in Portland a year ago. It is of interest now that a new production of it has been an nounced for this spring by a well known London producer. Recent Shakespearean actors in America have probably avoided it because it gives no opportunity for one player to dominate the entire performance as in Hamlet or Lear but divides the honors among sev eral outstanding roles. It is this very fact which makes it an espe cially happy choice for the Guild Hall players who have several act ors of outstanding ability in their present group. Oregon Graduate Now Working at Minnesota Jessie S. Douglas, a graduate of the University of Oregon in 1931 and former assistant in the his tory department, is now an assist ant in the history department of the University of Minnesota, where he is working for his doctor’s de gree. Mr. Douglas was quite promi nent in campus affairs while a student here and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He was the au thor of “A History of Jefferson” which was published in the Ore gon Historical Weekly. Stauffer Off To Start Air Corps Enlistment Maurice D. (Brute) Stauffer, of Eugene, ex-’34, left Eugene yesterday for Pierson field, Van couver, Washington, to begin his enlistment in the army air ser vice. The appointment was re ceived a few weeks ago. Sauffer will return in a few days before leaving for Ran dolph field, San Antonio, Texas, for his training period. He is a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity, and while on the campus was active on the Uni versity band, and was a mem ber of the rally committee and the Co-op board. I Date for Annual Ball Is Announced By Mortar Board J Kwumu Will Pledge 19 Freshman Women at Dance; Ticket Sale Limited The annual Mortar Board ball, outstanding formal dance of spring te'm, is to be given on Saturday, April 22, at the Eugene hotel, members of the women’s senior honorary announced following a meeting yesterday. The Mortar Board ball origin ated four years ago as the first (campus dance to which women in vite the men. A highlight of the dance will be the annual pledging of 19 freshman women to Kwama, sophomore service honorary, which always takes place at this time. The ticket sale is to be limited this year in order to keep the hotel from being too crowded. The en tire first floor of the hotel will be used for the dance. Chairman for the formal is El len Sersanous, president of Mortar Board. Louise Webber is in charge of programs, Marian Chapman of hotel and orchestra arrangements, Aimee Sten of ticket sale, and Bet ty Anne Macduff of publicity. Yeomen Plan Smoker And Pienic at Meeting Plans for a spring picnic to be held as soon as clear weather is assured and a smoker to come off on the night of April 21 were discussed at the meeting of the Oregon Yeomen executive coun cil yesterday. The time and place of the picnic will be an nounced at a later date while the smoker will be held at the Y hut.

In addition, Ethan Newman, president, announced the ap pointment of several intramural team captains: Sol Schneider, 'kitten ball: Del Thom, tennis; and Don Caswell, golf. Analysis Made Of Grade Lists Since 1907 Fraternities Coming Up In Rank Recently ALL POINTS STUDIED More Complete Results Available Since ii>20: Scholarship Heads To Get Data Analysis of grades of University of Oregon students, going back in some instances as far as 1907, shows fraternities consistently low, sororities formerly on top, but suffering a recent decline and non-fraternity men displaying a recent improvement. The analysis was made by Clif ford L. Constance, assistant regis trar, as a joint project of the registrar’s office and the person nel division. The report of the findings will be sent to scholar ship chairmen in the living organi zations. In addition to the general report, each house will receive an analysis of the individual house situation. These individual re ports will be confidential, the deans of men and women receiv ing the only other copies. The findings of the report, in tended as applicable only to the University of Oregon groups con sidered for the periods specified, show, in brief: Women Generally Higher Women consistently get higher grades than men in the Univer sity. This superiority has de creased during the last few years, but braced up during the fall term this year. Featuring this trend are the “downward plunge” of the sororities, formerly lead ers, and the rise of the non-fra ternity men over a slightly longer period to a point where they ex celled the sorority women last spring, the first time since 1920 that one of the large men’s divi sions topped any of the large women’s divisions. Since 1929 the fraternities have been “consistent ly inferior” and the non-sorority women high but irregular. The background of the analysis, as stated in the report, says, “Since 1907, with fair regularity by terms, the living organizations have been listed in rank order ac cording to the average grades earned by their respective mem bers. Since 1920 the all-Univer sity, all-men, all-women averages are available; a few years later these also were subdivided into fraternity aud non-fraternity, sor ority and non-sorority groups. Men’s Ability Studied The ability of living organiza tion members has also been studied in the past few years. The psychological examination scores were also used in the analysis.

His present home is in San Francisco. Crosswaith Avers We Must Try for Economic Freedom “We can talk about our religi ous liberty, our political liberty, and our freedom from chattel slavery, but we are not free until we have economic liberty.” This was the theme stressed by Frank Crosswaith, negro labor leader and instructor the Rand School of Social Science, New York, in his lecture, “The Modern Meaning of Liberty,” in Villard hall Satur day*night. A large crowd of town and campus people attended the meeting, of which the campus In ternational Relations club was sponsor. Crosswaith traced the history of each fight for liberty, showing how liberty has different mean ings to different generations. In each case, he said, it has been a minority of courage and vision that has understood the need for freedom and that has been willing to sacrifice self for society. How different is the contem porary treatment of this minority from its appreciation in history Crosswaith illustrated with the case of Abraham Lincoln. On the 75th anniversary of Lincoln’s fa mous anti-slavery debate with Douglas, a New York paper car ried in a box on its front page a story of a special celebration planned for the day at the place where the debate had first been given. In an editorial it praised Lincoln as the ‘‘Great Emanci pator.” Crosswaith looked up the papers of 75 years before to see what they had said about Lin coln. The same paper which (Continued on Paye Four)
