Vanguard Of Musicians To Arrive Today Band Contests Will Start At Igloo Tomorrow 700 ARE EXPECTED John H. Stelin To Be Chairman For Tenth of Annual Slate Band Tourneys Seven hundred high school musi cians will begin to gather today for the 10th annual Oregon state high school band contest, which will take place at McArthur court Friday and Saturday. During the next two days the campus will be the musical center of the state, and championship bands in three divisions will be determined for the present year. John.H. Stehn, director of the University band, is chairman of the affair. Heading the list of 20 bands that will participate are the champions of three divisions of last year. Jefferson high of Portland was judged the champions in class A when the contest was held at Ore gon State college last year, Silver ton won the championship in class B competition, and Hill Military academy of Portland was named title holder in class C. All three bands will be back to defend their trophies against the best bands in tne state. Bands Listed Other bands that will partici pate in the contest are: Grant high of Portland, Medford, Klam ath Falls, Salem, Woodrow Wil son junior high of Eugene, Eugene high, Albany, Corvallis, Marsh field, Irrigon, Oregon City, West Linn, LaGrande, Estacada, Bea verton, Seaside, and St. Helens. Judges for the contests are all outstanding musicians and band leaders. They are Glenn H. Woods, supervisor of music, Oakland, Cali fornia; Frank Mancini, director of band at Modesto high school and junior college in California; and L. A. McArthur, supervisor of music and director of bands at Willows, California. Bands Compete Saturday The band contest will be run off Saturday in three divisions. Class A will consist of schools that have a student enrollment of 600 or more; class B, those schools with enrollments between 400 and 600; and class C, schools under 400. The bands will be required to play one selective number and one re quired number besides a warm-up march which will not be judged. The warm-ups will be significant as several of the bands will each play a number, composed by their bandmasters, who intend to enter the compositions in a composition contest for bandmasters. The band masters are taking advantage of the unlimited choice of the selective numbers this year and the audiences are assured of hearing many of the finest over ture and contest numbers. Solos On Friday Friday afternoon the solo con tests will be held in the Music' building. The contests will be di vided into two groups with all students eligible for the senior division, but the junior division is limited only to students in the ninth grade or lower.

Pairings Drawn For Canoe Fete Junior Week End Hull Presides Over Drawing Held On Library Steps; Twenty Four Group:; Compete Twenty-four living organizations were paired for work on floats for the Canoe Fete yesterday morn ing at the drawings on the main library steps. Bob Hall, student body presi dent, presided over the drawings and announced the partners. The pairings were as follows: Pi Beta Phi and Alpha Tau Omega; Alpha Phi and Chi Psi; Delta Delta Delta and Phi Gamma Delta; Delta Gamma and Sigma Chi; Kappa Alpha Theta and Phi Delta Theta; Chi Omega and Sig ma Alpha Mu; Alpha Omicron Pi and Delta Tau Delta; Beta Phi Alpha and Theta Chi; Alpha Chi Omega and Friendly hall; Alpha Xi Delta and Omega hall; Gamma Phi Beta and Sigma Nu; Delta Zeta and Sigma Phi Epsilon. Professor Lacks F'aitli in Own Ways “I haven’t any time to bother with such stuff!” Thus declared a certain faculty member when he was asked to fill out a short ques tionnaire which is being used as part of a term project in W. F. G. Thacher’s space selling class. The enterprising student who was canvassing various residences in the endeavor to have these ques tionnaires answered received this rebuff in a slightly dazed and in a very surprised manner. That student was especially surprised because he knew that this certain faculty member himself super vised research problems and uses questionnaires supplied to his classes for the purpose. Evidently that professor does not have much faith in “such stuff” although he uses it himself. Professor Called Away W. P. Riddlesbarger, assistant professor in the school of business administration, was -called away from the campus by the sudden death of his father-in-law, John Rickels, of Lebanon. Professor Riddlesbarger remained in Lebanon Tuesday and Wednesday. Women of Persia Succumb To Appeal of French Heels By HENRIETTE HORAK ( Silk stockings, French heels, and cigarettes — as essentials to femi nine contentment, are not unique to the women of America, or to milady on the continent; these es sentials are required by women in practically all four corners of the world—at least so thinks David L. Foulkes, ’29, graduate of the Uni versity school of architecture, who recently returned from an extend ed trip to Persia. “Women of Persia,” said Foulkes, “cling to their traditional veils and shawls, which protect them from the wandering gaze of men, but they have succumbed to certain western customs to the extent that under their shawls they wear silk stockings, high heeled shoes, and now and then may be seen on the streets puffing serenely upon cigarettes protrud ing from the veils.” Foulkes went to Persia in March, 1931, and spent 22 months there in the employ of the govern ment in a railway construction project. He designed all stations, shops, homes of officials, section houses and store houses for the southern section of the South Persian state railway now being built from the Gulf of Persia to the Caspian sea. The country in which Foulkes worked was some of the most desolate in the world, and without vegetation of any kind. The tem perature remained 120 degrees for months at a time. The hundreds of Arabs em ployed in the building work, who were the only people who could stand the temperature and condi tions, hauled the dirt necessary for construction, in sacks or on stubborn burros. Foulkes lauded the efforts of the shah of Persia, who is trying to make his country strong commer cially by building railroads and highways, and maintaining an ef ficient army for military protec tion. Foulkes’ present home is in Portland. — Yosuke Matsuoka Visits the Home Town Co-op Ready for Orders on Senior Caps and Gowns SENIORS should place orders ^ for graduation caps and gowns and announcements at once, according to Marion Mc Clain, manager of the Co-op. Special arrangements have been made concerning the caps and gowns, and consequently rental prices will be reduced from $2.50 to $2.00. This amount must be paid when the order is placed, and a deposit of $2.00 will be required when the outfit is delivered to the stu dent before commencement. This will be refunded when the outfit is returned. Announcements this year will be formal, with the invitation of the class engraved. They bear the Oregon seal in gold. The paper used is of a newer rough texture with a paneled effect and deckled edges. Two large envelopes will come with each announcement. These are to sell at 11 cents each. Co-op Announces Few Changes in Texts'Next Term Very few changes are to be made in text-books next year. This was revealed yesterday by Mr. Marion McClain, manager of the Co-op. By the cooperation and help of the faculty, the Co-op has secured a partial list of books which will be used next fall. This list, which is now about 45 per cent com plete, is to be posted on the Co-op bulletin board for the convenience of students who have books they wish to sell before next year. The Co-op offers to buy books which appear on this list and are in good condition at the maximum price of one half the original value. All current editions that are brought in will be accepted at the store, however, even though not on next year’s list, but these will be bought at something less than half price. Miss Kneeland Lists Summer Job Hunters Katjierine Kneeland, employ ment secretary, said yesterday that her office was compiling a list of students desiring work dur ing the summer. No definite in formation regarding jobs is avail able at this time, but the office plans to make the list of appli cants as complete as possible. Several salesmen’s positions have been offered to students for the summer. Miss Kneeland has a list of these on file and those de siring to look over the list may do so by calling at the employ ment otfice in Johnson hall. Dr. Smith Takes Field Trip To Examine Rock Dr. Warren D. Smith conducted a field trip to W'indberry, last Sat urday for the purpose of examin ing the rock of that locality for ! gold. This district, which is above Fall creek about 35 miles from Eu ; gene, has been creating quite a bit of interest of late, as it is sup posed to contain gold-bearing rock. The results of Dr. Smith's findings j are not yet available. The field I geology class accompanied Dr. ' Smith on the trip. The noted Japanese diplomat, graduate of the University and re cent visitor on the campus, is seen here in some scenes at Portland, where he spent his boyhood.

Espy Announces Senior Meeing For This Evening *—' Class Gift, Ofegana, Treasurer Other Important Business To Be Considered One of the most important meet ings of the year will be held to night by the senior class in room 107 Villard, Cecil Espy, president, announced yesterday. A crowded schedule of business is slated. Virgil Langtry, chairman of the gift committee, will report on the program of work on the bust of Dean John Straub, the gift of the class to the University. The class will take step* to nul lify its recent action subsidizing the Oregana, following advice from Hugh Rosson, graduate man ager, that the money will not be needed. The money will remain in the student loan fund. Election of a treasurer will be held, to fill the post left vacant by the failure of Charles Stryker to return to school. A recommenda tion to christen the men's dormi tory “John Straub hall,’’ will be considered. Several other items of business are on the agenda, and Espy urges every senior to attend. Hicks Talks to (dub At a luncheon held yesterday at the College Side, Alpha Delta Sigma, national professional ad vertising fraternity, heard T. M. B. Hicks speak on merchandising and advertising problems and policies.

He is Lincoln Steffens. “Education For a Changing World” is the subject of his ad dress, in which he will discuss the type of education that is neces sary to prepare the student for the modern world. “Whatever the title,” said Lin coln Steffens in a letter to H. G. Merriam, “my subject will be the necessity, the difficulty, the pleasure of changing our minds to meet a changing world. My stor ies, to illustrate, are from Wall Street, Russia, Italy (Mussolini)." Discussion Afterward Directly after the assembly Steffens will conduct an informal discussion in Alumni hall for stu dents on the subject of his address. For 40 years he has conducted investigations into political cor ruptions, revealing many interest ing facts about fraud in our social structure. As a student of phil osophy in Germany and France and throughout his career as re porter, he tried to decide for him self what was right and wrong in public life. His conclusions sur prised and awoke a wondering world. j One interesting discovery is his belief that big city bosses and racketeers, who are looked upon with scorn by the more righteous, are in reality ready and willing to carry out plans of public improve ment while the more righteous, striving for immediate reform, only make matters worse by their blind and sudden plans of improve ment. Bad Men Better In his campaign of revealing political corruption, Steffens reached the surprising and almost amusing conclusion that until we reach economic democracy, it would be better to employ effici ent bad men regularly than inter sperse our public offices with oc casional impatient reformers. Steffens doesn't believe in poli tical sin as an absolute rather as the natural outcome of our pres ent system of political privilege.'1 Tn his estimation, reform in our j present status is an impossibility. Here, however, he sounds an opti mistic note. He believes that our economic system is undergoing a great change for the better. The “muckrakers” have delved ! deeply into many of the problems ! facing the world today and have 1 reached unprecedented conclu sions. Their contribution to the modern world lies in their report that complete reform cannot take place suddenly but must evolve ! gradually as our social system de | velops. By using the experiences of the past as example together (Continued on Par/e Three) State Hoard To Decide Summer School Here Definite information regarding whether or not summer school will be held this year will be given shortly after April 17, when the state board meets. Possibilities of the situation in clude the limitation of the summer session to Portland only, the con tinuance of the usual plan of sum mer schools both in Eugene and Portland, the limitation of the ses sion to Eugene only or the elimin ation of the summer session. Ex-Dean of Economics Dies Suddenly in Utah Miss A. Grace Johnson, who was head of the household administra tion department of the school of economics and acting dean last year, died suddenly in Salt Lake City yesterday.

Mr. Miller stayed at the residence of Dean Morse while in Eugene. 2000 On Deck But Not Lads From Corvallis Order of 40' Holds Card Just tin* Same HERB OWEN HELPS Curl Lode 11 Refuse; To Permit Orangemen To Perforin on Program Here By BRUCE HAMBY More than 2,000 Oregon stu dents, who are normally expected to spend their evenings in . study, and several hundred townspeople, jammed McArthur court last night hoping to see the heralded Oregon Oregon State boxing matches on the Order of the “O” smoker. The affair nearly ftfll flat when it was learned earlier in the eve ning that Carl Lode’.i, director of athletics at Corvallis, had refused to allow the Beaver stars to par ticipate. Hal Moe, Morrie Shep herd, and Dave Perkins, all sche duled to appear, were not per mitted to appear. As coast con ference officials had given their . approval to the affair, no eligibil ity question could have been in volved. Herb Owen, Eugene wrestling promoter, came to the rescue of Duke Shaneman and his aides and provided several of his grappling proteges for the evening. Owen is to be complimented on the fine spirit in which he aided in saving the affair. Not Such a Bad Night Some of the bouts were good, some were not. It would have been impossible to have pleased everyone, for little blood was spilled and no one got knocked out. Four wrestling and three boxing matches, a battle royal and a “badger" fight comprised the program. The outstanding match of the evening was an unscheduled one between Yaqui Joe, Sonora Indian leg artist, and Harry Elliott, for mer Webfoot grappling coach and now a law student in the Uni versity. The bout, for one fall or 30 minutes, went to Joe in 24 minutes with a flying body scissors. The two professionals put up as good an exhibition of straight, clean •grappling as one could expect to see anywhere in the country. O’Reilly Struts Stuff Joe astounded the spectators with the almost unbelievable power in his legs. Both men went at a fast pace and there was no stalling or ballyhoo on the part of either. Almost every hold in the books was used during the match before Joe finally pinned his law school opponent. Art (What-a-man) O'Reilly put on a fine show with the "Masked Marvel,” who turned out to be a professional by the name of Young [ Callahan from Olympia, Washing ton. O’Reilly gave the lads a fine show, with his usual strutting and grandstanding, and received his usual chorus of boos from the gal lery. The "Marvel” took the first fall, but O’Reilly won the laurel wreath by taking the final two. For sheer enjoyment the widely ballyhooed “Battle of the Bohe moths" between George Christen sen and Dutch Clark couldn’t have I been beaten, imagine 470 pounds (Continued on Page Two) Students' Life in Manchuria Found Different From Oregon By HAZLE CORRIGAN College education is practically denied to anyone in Manchukuo who is not a citizen of China or Soviet Russia, George Telto, new student at the University from Harbin, China, said in an inter- j view for the Emerald. Polytechnic Institute, the col lege owned by the Manchurian rail way, is within reach of only a very few of the young people of Manchukuo, although many of them long for an education. It costs several times as much to go to school there as here, and con sequently it means a great deal more to be a college graduate. Among the 50 students in a class there will be only perhaps two or three co-eds. The women students there are studying for: teaching. The college life in Har bin is vastly different from that which Teltoft has found here. Strict regulations are imposed on college students in China, Tel toft said, with no options in courses. Graduation even from high school requires four or five years of Latin, algebra, and geom etry. The tragic conditions in China Teltoft attributes to gross over population. The government is not at all stable at the present time. "I think that the Japanese will bring order,” he said. "The Rus sian people of Manchukuo wel come the Japanese, because they are suffering under the Chinese. The Chinese generals are selling themselves for money. "Ninety-nine per cent of the Chinese inhabitants are uneducat ed and very superstitious. Besides Chinese, there are in Manchukuo large numbers of Russians and a few Americans. Business is con trolled by Americans. The Rus sians are of two hostile groups, fighting among themselves and with the Chinese.” Teltoft was in two battles against Chinese. “The city of Harbin has a popu lation of 400,000 people, 300,000 of them being Russians, half white and half red. Wherever American influence has been felt, there are (Continued on Page Pour)
