Oregon Prepares To Welcome State Music Organizations U.OfO. Ready For Over 700 Band Visitors Slate High School Contests Will Start Friday 25 Schools Will Participate in Oregon’s Tenth Annual Competition Thursday evening and all day Friday 700 high school students, representing approximately 25 schools in the state, will gather on the University campus to at tend the tenth annual Oregon State high school band contest, which is scheduled for Friday afternoon and Saturday, it was announced yes terday by John H. Stehn, director of the University band and chair man of the contest. For the past nine years the con test was held annually on the Ore gon State college campus, but last year the state board of higher education decided that the contest should be alternated between the two campuses. This will be the first time the University and Eu gene townspeople have had a chance to entertain so large an aggregation of high school stu dents at one time, and will be an opportunity to hear some of the finest musicians in the state. Cit izens of Eugene and the Univer sity are cooperating to make the affair a success. Soloists To vie The solo contests will be held Friday afternoon in the Music building. All students are eligible for the senior division, but the junior division will be limited to students in the ninth grade or lower. Approximately 75 soloists will compete. Saturday afternoon and evening the band contests will be held in three divisions in McArthur court, where several thousand spectators are expected to witness the musi cal competition. Included in the list of 20 bands will be the Seattle band which is composed entirely of girls. This girl band has drawn a good deal of comment among mu sical critics about the state. Banquet on Slate Included in the events will be a composition contest for the band masters. A banquet is also being arranged for the band masters by a committee of University stu dents. The committee includes Clayton Wentz, chairman; Bob McCombs, and Ruth Vannice. Judges for the contests will be Glenn H. Woods, supervisor of mu sic, Oakland public schools; Frank Mancini, director of bands for Mo desto high school and junior col lege; and L. A. McArthur, super visor of music, Willows, California. Jefferson high of Portland, will be defending her class A title, Sil verton’s class B title will be at Stake, and Hill Military academy of Portland will defend her cham pionship in class C. The public will be allowed to at tend the solo contests free of charge, but a, fee of 25 cents will be charged for the band concerts. A special price of 10 cents will be offered to University, high school, and grade school students.

As far as feeling and appearance go, you might be wearing no-Drassicrc-at-all! But with all this effect of freedom, “Full-Fashion” is skillfully constructed to give perfect bust control and per manently blocked to keep its smart shapeliness, even through long, hard wear and frequent washings. “Full-Fashion” is only one chapter in the fascinating talc of Maiden Form foundation garments.

Charles Laughton making the sound of universal disapprobation in the general direction of his em ployer immediately after Laugh ton's receipt of a million dollars still rocks the house like nothing else in the show. Perhaps this is better cinema than it is generally said to be. Paramount obviously spared no expense in making the picture, but critics quite generally have decried its lacking plot, lacking continuity, and general jumpiness. The excuse for the picture (of the eccentric millionaire who bestows millions piecemeal and haphaz ardly) is flimsy and at best little more than a means of stringing disconnected episodes of varying character together. But the cast is notable. Richard Bennet as the rich man does very well indeed. Alison Skipworth and J. C. Fields are very good, as are Wynne Gibson and George Raft. Taken all in all it’s as disconnect ed a piece of entertainment you’ll find, but it lags very little. As a matter of fact you’ll probably like it. >S * * "The Secret of Madame Blanche,” starring Irene Dunne, sounds like nothing so unusual. Pauline Fred erick paved the way for these dramas of mother love years ago, with her "Madame X,” and Helen Hayes stole the myrtle crown last year with the “Sin of Madelon Claudet.” Miss Dunne simply seems to be following in footsteps already made in the sand. If you’re not tired of the theme of the mother who gives her all for her son, and then hides her terri ble secret even till death, you might like this at the MccDonald today. It’s the theme everlasting. * * # One effect of the depression in Hollywood seems showing in au exodus of formerly featured play ers to foreign climes, and, per haps, fatter checks. England is willing to take up where Holly wood leaves off. Famous Farrell and Gaynor are the latest to mi grate to Picadilly, following in the path of Marguerite Churchill, Constance Cummings, the James Gleasons, and Ernest Torrence. The size and location of Louis XV's paunch was the most amus ing if not the most important question that had to be answered by a research department before Voltaire could be started. It was well established that Louis was fat —but how fat and how propor tioned was another question.

PI KAP AND ALPHA 0 WIN CUPS AT CARNIVAL (Continued from Page One) dean of women; and N. P. Zane, professor of design, were judges. Five cents was charged for ev erything at the carnival, from en trance and checking to jitney dancing and playing the conces sions at the booths. Prizes, rang ing from earrings to golf clubs and kewpie dolls, were given to lucky contestants. Sherwood Burr’s seven-piece orchestra play ed for the dancers in the middle of the Igloo, which was roped off, the rest of the Igloo being devoted to the 17 booths. About 2,500 people paid the five cent admission fee, and most of these spent more money on dancing or concessions. The A. W. S., according to Louise Web ber, president, cleared about one hundred dollars profit, which will go into the A. W. S. emergency loan fund for needy men and women students. This carnival, which is an an nual affair, inaugurated last year, is the biggest project of the A. W. S. Helen Binford was general chairman of the carnival.

Symphony Opens Term Concert List Capacity House Listens to First Concert Flute and Harp Concerto Headlines Brilliant Presentation Of Orchestra By DAVE WILSON Seven hundred and fifty eaily birds who found seals or leaning room along the walls at the music auditorium Sunday afternoon heard the University Symphony orchestra open the spring concert season with a unique and well done program. Those who came too late returned to their cars and went for a ride in the coun try. Victor Bryant and Doris Helen Calkins distinguished themselves in the Mozart concerto for flute and harp, a long neglected opus which was heard for the first time on this campus. The or chestral accompaniment, though graceful and fairly consistent throughout the three movements, was rather thinly scored, and the two soloists were “exposed to ' view” at all times. In the several cadenza passages they distin guished themselves. Light Opera Opens The overture to the Johann Strauss light opera, “The Gypsy [ Baron,” served very nicely as a hors d'ouevre. Although it lacked ! some of the unity of structure usually desirable in a concert j crtain raiser, it's lightness of touch and its Danubian atmos pherl jibed very nicely with the rest of the program. The “L’Arlesienne" suite by Bizet again found favor with its many old friends. The strongly rhythmic and decidedly un-French first movement, the precise minu etto which followed, and the con cluding carillon were given a fine reading by Director Hex Under wood. Tone Poem Enjoyable The unique instrumentation of Sibelius’ tone-poem, “The Swan of Tuonela,” was particularly enjoy able. Here is a tone-poem that vividly suggests the visual pic ture, an immortal swan patrol ling the sombre stream that separates the land of life from the I land of the dead, which it is sup posed to represent. Dean Straub Memorial Being Cast in Bronze The plaster cast of the bust of Dean Straub made by Hex Soren sen, graduate of the art school, has been sent to Los Angeles where it is to be cast in bronze. It will be returned May 15. The senior class of this year will idedidate the bust at the end of j the school year. It will be giveiv! to the University. _.—__ With the exception of one, all the schools were completely flattened. The fronts and roofs of brick buildings were torn away, and wooden buildings fell like paper. Great pilgrimages left the town daily after the huge quake. The people who remained, however, banded together in a common cause, and one would smile at lit- j ter strangers when they were en- ' countered in the streets. It was a great experience to1 Bob, for he had never had occa sion to witness a quake befofe this spring. His advice, as one who knows, is to keep cool, calm, and collected in such emergencies, and keep your eyes wide open. _HSHW STATE PLCOGNI^P V BECOME AN ] OPERATOR! , l’leasaut Work Good Pay— We tire still holding our special enroll ment offer open -— consider beauty cul ture—it means your success.

DIPLOMAT OFF FOR BAY CITY ON WAY HOME (Continued from Page One) to select the granite for a grave stone for his second mother. This he dedicated yesterday morning. Gathered at the cemetery was a large group of Portland citizens, both Americans and Japanese. After placing the flowers, Mat suoka turned and glanced at the crowd. Suddenly, he saw an old friend and hurried over to greet James S. Dunbar, of Portland, a brother of the friends of long ago. Meets Dunbar's Brother To Mr. Dunbar, the visitor said, “I am very happy to see you, Mr. Dunbar, I was in hopes I would see you today. I am very glad to be able to place this marker on the grave of my dear friend so when my children come this way, they will be able to find the spot in America that I loved as a part of my home. “She moulded my mind and my character more than any person save my own mother. At 13 I was a small boy and was living in the Methodist cljurch mission here, in a place that was lonely and bare. Somehow Mr. Dunbar and his sis ter heard of this little Japanese boy, I might say almost a waif, and they came and asked me if I would like to come and live in their home. I was treated as well as the son of Mrs. Dunbar and was just another member of the family I can never repay the debt of gratitude I owe them.” Mrs. Beveridge Lived 63 Years William Dunbar died a number of years ago in Victoria, B. C., and is buried there. Mrs. Beveridge died here October 5, 1906, aged 63 years. While Mr. Matsuok'a was talk ing with James Dunbar, the diplo mat saw another friend in the crowd—"Oh, Jean, I am also most happy to see you again, how are you?” and the statesman bowed as he greeted Mrs. Jean Dunbar McIntyre, a niece of his benefac tors. Plants Cherry Tree Before leaving Lone Fir ceme tery, Mr. Matsuoka dug a place beside the grave for the planting of a Japanese flowering cherry tree. This was furnished by the Japanese society of Portland. The grave marker is of beauti ful red granite, and Mr. Matsuoka explained that he would have had it placed long ago only he thought this matter had been taken care of. In Tokyo a number of years back he met a member of the Dunbar family and asked if the grave of Mrs. Beveridge was marked by a tombstone. . When told it was not, the diplomat an nounced he would have this at tended to in the near future. At noon Matsuoka was guest of honor at luncheon at the home of Consul and Madame Nakamura. In the afternoon he drove about the city, later addressing local Japanese in a formal talk.

ANALYSIS MARE OF GRADE LISTS SINCE 1907 (Continued from Piujc One) Another phase of the situation covered included the elimination, or the portion that failed to con tinue for the normal four years of college. Retardation, or practice of carrying less than the usual study, load, was also studied by Mr. Constance. In the analysis of ability, the report showed dormitory men leading the non-organization men and the fraternity group. Sorori ties were reported to be highci than the fraternities in this re *» sped, with a decline noted for re cent years. For men, mental ability is re ported to be a stronger elimination Finalists Chosen For Hilton Prize Speaking Contest Five Left in Annual Competition Is Based Upon Merits of Mens Manuscripts Announcement was made yes terday by Professor Orlando John Hollis of the finalists chosen to compete in the Hilton prize speak ing contest. The contestants, as chosen by the law school faculty from a group of .16 original en trants are as follows: Otto Frohn mayer, third year student; Charles Dolloff, second year; William Goodwin, second year; Karl Hus ton, second year; and James Lan dye, second year. The selections were based on the merits of man uscripts handed in earlier in the year. The subject for the contest this year has been chosen as ‘‘A Survey of All Laws at Present Affecting Intoxicating Liquors and a Consid eration of the Proper Enforcing Agents for Such Laws.” A first prize of $50 is offered by Frank H. Hilton, prominent Portland at torney, who founded the contest in 1922 for the purpose of promot ing the ora! discussion of legal problems. Second and third prizes of $25 and $15 are made possible by a trust fund heL by the law school. The finals are scheduled for Tuesday evening, April 18, in Guild hall. factor for fraternity than for non fraternity men. For women, the first term's grades eliminate more potently for non-sorority women than for sorority women.

It was found to be less among soror ity and dormitory women than among non-organization women. Are Your Spring Shoes Repaired. If Not, See CAMPUS SHOE SHOP (Across Sigma Chi) Were you , Born | Tired?
