VOL. XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1934 NUMBER 43 Roland Hayes Concert Free To All Students Famous Tenor to Sing; At McArthur Court CO-OP HAS TICKETS Success Marks Rise From Humble Home to Greatest Singer Of Negro Spirituals Oregon students will be admit ed free to the concert of Rolanc Hayes, internationally famous ne gro tenor in McArthur court, Thursday, January 25. Playing- to large audiences ir large cities at high prices, it is an unusual opportunity to be able to hear him with no charge. Since his last visit to the Northwest, three years ago, Hayes has ac quired for himself new laurels in the concert halls of Europe and America. Additional tickets may be ob tained from the Co-op, the grad uate manager’s office and McMor ran & Washburne for $1.10. Un reserved tickets are selling for 55 cents. Born in Georgia in a very hum ble home, Roland Hayes, strug gling against poverty, the preju dices of an unfriendly race, the misunderstanding of the people around him, he has overcome all obstacles and is now one of the best known tenors in the- world. Commencing with the negro spirituals which he heard sung on the plantations of old Dixie, he eagerly sought a mastery of the art songs of all nations. Today he is the absolute master of five lan guages, and sings anything within the tenor range with absolute un derstanding and irreproachable art istry. He is universally recog nized as the world’s greatest sing er of negro spirituals, and has brought these folk songs to a state of perfection rivalling the master pieces of Schubert, Wolff, and Beethoven. Hayes is recognized as that ex traordinary rarity among singers; a true musical genius who possess es a naturally fine voice. Sheer hard workt over a period of years, constant perfection of an already fine art, and a contempt for the formidable obstacles which stood in his way have brought him to an eminence shared by no other negro in the entire world. CWA Beautifies Artists’ Quarters Through funds provided by the CWA the Art building has been redecorated and painted. Many filing cabinets and other conven iences have been added to the of fice equipment. The large painting studious have been completely redecorated in pale green and white. A room used by upper division composition classes has been remodeled to enlarge the working space for pottery classes and the architecture department has been supplied with an addition al office.

Gunsmith Helps Professor Crosland Perfect New Device It took a gunsmith, working in collaboration with Dr. H. R. Cros land, associate professor of psy chology, to perfect a device for controlling the time of exposure in the Dodge tachistoscope, which in simpler terms is a rig to regulate the flashes of light for experiments in right and left-eyedness. Dr. Crosland got his idea from an apparatus invented years ago by a certain Dr. Whipple, psychol ogy and education instructor at the University of Michigan, who used it for flashing material before the eyes of a subject for a given part of a second in the “range of at tention” experiment. Dr. Crosland worked upon a sim ilar apparatus several years ago, and in the April, 1926, issue of the “Journal of Experimental Psychol ogy,” he published an article called, "A Device for Controlling the Time of Exposure in the Dodge Tachistoscope.” In this apparatus, he used some of the plans of the Whipple device, combining them with other ideas which were orig inal. Although this mechanism worked for a while, it later proved to have variations and weak as pects. C. N. Crocker, of Hendershott's Gun Store, was enlisted to aid in correcting these weaknesses, but his attempts to "tune up" the |na chine to its former accuracy were unsuccessful. He then suggested that the main part of the instru ment, the rotating disk, be trans formed into a wholly different type of disk. Part of the machine thus evolved came from Whipple’s original de vice, part from the improvements made by Crosland, and part from the changes made by Crocker, the gunsmith. The instrument in its present form has been used for several years without variation, and has been highly successful. Taste Defeat in Igloo k'EN Wills Qej< Qcott Roland - cJomnsom 3 - x Above are three members of the invading Washington State col lege team, which lost a sensational game to a battling Oregon team last night in the Igloo by a count of 80-27. The Cougars took all four games from the Ducks last season, but they can’t repeat this year. Figures Indicate Smaller Number Rut on Probation Disqualified Students Increase by Large Percentage With Twenty-four Out Twenty-four students were dis qualified after the fall term, an in crease of more than 150 percent over the corresponding term of a year ago, figures from the regis trar’s office reveal. Only nine stu dents were disqualified for the fall term of 1932. However, the number of students placed on probation shows a de crease, there beeing 287 last term and 363 a year ago. Reasons given for this drop are the changed rules for upper division students, provid ing for a warning to those falling slightly below the minimum grade point average set. Twenty-three such students were warned. There were 72 students who cleared probation by gaining satis factory averages. Students Protest Payment of Fees Nine graduate students formally protested last Tuesday to the ad ministration of the University of Oregon against paying that por tion of registration fees which goes to the Associated Student body. I Registration fees for graduate students are $26, $2.50 of which goes to the Associated Students in return for a Student Body card entitling admission to athletic con tests, concerts, and so forth The nine graduate students paid the $2.50 under protest, on the grounds that they do not attend these func tions, and consequently are pay ing for a privilege they do not use nor want. Those who signed the formal protest were James Landye, Bill Kinley. Bill Whitely, Art Clark, Karl Huston, Josephine Rice, Eu gene Laird, Carl Coad, and Ben nett Swanton. Allied Arts League to Stage Beaux Arts Ball On Friday, February 2 The Beaux Arts ball, spon sored by the Allied Arts league, will be held Friday, February 2, in Gerlinger hall.

S. U. O. concert of the winter term next Sunday, 3 p. m., in McArthur court. Hex Underwood, director of the local orchestra, has planned a pro gram for popular appeal. The first number, Wagner’s prelude to his “Die Meistersinger," sets the pace for the great master’s fa mous satirical opera.

WebfootsTake Opening Game From Cougars Oregon Wins by Score Of 30-27 SQUAD LOOKS GOOD Robertson Leads I)ueks With 10 Counters; Tilt Scheduled Tonight in Igloo Conference Standings w. L. Pet. Washington . 2 0 1.000 Oregon . 1 0 1.000 Oregon State . 1 1 .500 Washington State l 2 .333 Idaho . 0 2 .000 By BILL EBERHART Oregon laid the foundation last night for a definite rebuilding of her basketball prestige by taking the season’s opener from Wash ington State college by the tight score of 30 to 27. Jack Friel's Cougars split a two-game series with the champion Oregon Staters last weekend, making Oregon’s victory mean a good deal. Both teams displayed a flashy spark that is usually absent so early in the season. The game was packed with thrills and breath-taking shots throughout, with both teams participating in the crowd-pleasing tactics. An other pleasing dish of the same variety will be served to Oregon fans again tonight, when the two teams convene at McArthur court for the second game of the series. Oregon Takes Lead The ball game was all Oregon during the first half last night. The Webfoots, from the opening whistle, acquired a healthy lead that was held down to the closing minutes of the period. The half ended 16 to 11 in Oregon's favor, but at one time Reinhart’s men enjoyed a 13 to 4 advantage. The situation was reversed for the major part of the second half. The visitors proved to be a great last period club when they over took Oregon and stepped out in front with a 19 to 18 lead. The Webfoots tightened up, however, and climbed out of the hole in veteran style. Robertson Tallies After a rather slow and score less minute or two at the start of the game, Captain Olinger of the Webfoots slipped Robertson a smooth pass and he made his short shot good. Budd Jones followed a little later with a field goal from the foul line, and the other Jones, center Willard, swished one from the free throw after he was fouled by Johnson. Ken Wills, captain of the W. S. C. team, opened the scoring for his side at this juncture with one of his famous one-handed push shots with a running delivery. Willard Jones followed up with a similar shot for Oregon, and timer out was called by Captain Olinger. Rally Starts After the short rest, high scorer Robertson slipped a short one in over his head, and Bill Berg tallied on another short one in the orthodox manner. Six-foot seven-inch Robert Houston, Cou gar center, started the rally that brought Washington State within reaching distance of Oregon's su perior score with a long, high shot from mid-court. Budd Jones fouled Johnson, and the latter converted, but on the next play Johnson fouled Olingei*, giving him two gift shots. He missed the first one, but made the second good, and Robertson con verted a minute later on a foul by McNeil, who was sent into the game to replace the veteran 'Rex Scott. Johnson and Wills qach scored running one-handed shots just before the half ended, bringr ing their score up to within five points of Oregon, which led 16 to 11. Cougars Start Robertson opened the scoring in the second half with a short shot, but before the last period was four minutes old, the Cougars fired up and overhauled the Web foots on long baskets by Wills, Scott, and Houston. Olinger called a time-out to go into a huddle with his boys, and he must hav^ told them something. In spite of a pair of goals by Wills and Mc Phee, Robertson and Budd Jones put on the pressure with two for Oregon, giving Oregon a 22 to 21 edge. Olinger added a short shot (Continued on Payc Two)
