Polyphonists
TRYOUTS NOW OPEN
First Rehearsal of New Chorus
Scheduled for Monday
Afternoon
An accredited men's chorus is
being organized on this campus
under the leadership of Roy Bry
son, assistant professor of music.
Last quarter a group of 18 men
worked for an hour and a half
a week, without credit and with
out name. This term the oppor
tunity of singing in such a group
is open to all college men, as there
will be a men’s section of the
Polyphonic choir.
A number of inquiries have been
made of Bryson as to tryouts and
requirements. “The tryouts are
simple and entrance in almost
every case is allowed where the
person does not sing off pitch,”
he stated.
First Rehearsal Monday
Anyone interested may see Bry
son this afternoon, at his office
in the music building, between 4
and 6 or tomorrow morning be
tween 9 and 12 o’clock. The first
rehearsal will be Monday after
noon at 4 o’clock.
Bryson has been associate di
rector of the Polyphonic choir for
the past two years. The choir
has given numerous concerts at
McArthur court, in the music
building, at town affairs, and is
remembered for its out-of-door
spring concerts.
Bryson Studied Under Smallman
Last summer Bryson studied in
Los Angeles with John Smallman,
director of the Smallman a-capella
choir, which is famous all over
the United States and Europe.
His work with Smallman proved
an inspiration for the men’s group
and gives them an opportunity to
learn the newest things in the
way of group singing.
The choir will not be limited as

2500Artists Get Employment
In Public Works Experiment
Two thousand five hundred art
ists, who have been unemployed,
are being put to work under the
public works of arts project, which
is an experiment being directed by
the treasury department of the
United States government.
This district comprising Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho, and Mon
tana was given 75 artists to place.
Eighty-five already have been
taken care of in Oregon alone,
making it necessary to alternate
their working time so as not to
exceed the quota. The full» period
of the experiment will be conclud
ed February 15, unless it is con
tinued by congress as a permanent
project.
A nearly ruling given out from
Washington gave permission for
advanced art students, who are in
need of positions, to be placed.
In Eugene district there are 14 or
15 artists at.work under the pro
ject.
All the work being done is sup
posed to be for public buildings, or
any tax supported building such as
public library, University buildings,
j court houses, and parks. The gov
1 ernment owns the various works of
I art, but distributes them among
I the different buildings.
The type of work being done has
a very wide range. Painters are
; doing principally easel paintings
for schools including scenery, in
dustry, shipping, public market,
and stock show scenes. Another
class of painters is doing illustra
tions of fairy tales, suitable for
books used in the lower grades.
One is making an artistic assem
bling of scientific data for Deady
hall, and another is making ab

“Chances for parts are excel

Banquet Honoring
Publishers to Be
Given January 19
Clint Haight to Speak at Dinner;
Dean Eric Allen Will Be
Toastmaster
Program plans are rapidly pro
gressing for the annual chamber
of commerce banquet which is
given in honor of the visiting Ore

press conference each year. This
year the event is to take place
Friday evening, January 19.
Clint Haight of the Canyon City
Blue Mountain Eagle, who has
previously entertained at the press
conference, has been secured to
speak there, and has chosen as
his topic, “Befuddled.” In accept
ing the invitation, Haight wrote
in part: “The thought comes to
me that ‘Befuddled’ would be a
good subject after a heavy meal,
unless the speaker becomes too
befuddled to remember ‘Befud
dled.’ ” Local journalists are look
ing forward with keen enjoyment
to hearing Haight speak.
Following the banquet the visi
tors are to be guests of the Co
lonial for a special showing of
"Golden Years of Progress.”
Dean Eric W. Allen will be
toastmaster at the banquet and
will give a talk entitled, “Go West,
Young Man, Go West,” which will
include incidents of his summer
vacation trip to the Orient.
A meeting of the committee in
charge, headed by W. F. Gilstrap,
has been called for Friday at 8
p. m. at the chamber of commerce.

AFFAIR TOMORROW

And Other Students
By FRANCES HARDY
Premiere! Premiere! Palm trees,
a battery of flood lights, a genuine
chromium-plated microphone, mas
ters of ceremony with tuxes, top
hats, and all that makes masters
of ceremony just that! Los Ange
les entertainers—honest! And all
for Miss and Mr. University of
Oregon and their friends.
That is the score for the big
dancing party tomorrow evening
—the renowned Krazy Kopy
Krawl, proudly sponsored by Al
pha Delta Sigma, men's advertis
ing honorary. The affair comes
off in Eugene’s Cocoanut Grove,
and the tariff is 75 cents.
Sherwood Burr’s newly organ
ized, better-than-ever orchestra
will be there in full regalia to at
tend to the musical needs of the
revelers, and Ray West, from the
Cocoanut Grove of the Hotel
Roosevelt of Long Beach, Califor
nia, where he conducted an orches
tra for several years, will be there
as Generalissimo Master of Cere
monies for the entire party.
Cottage Grove Represented
With him will be Irma Bennett,
also of the Grove, (Cottage), who
will feature during the dance sev
eral times. Popular opinion has it
that this won’t be hard to take
at all, as Miss Bennett has a suc
cessful record behind her.
''Coming closer to home there is
Mr. Chuck Burrows and Mr. Ed
Schweiker, who will cooperate in
their role of masters-of-ceremony
of the premiere, and will beckon
bashful ladies up to the genuine
chromium-plated mike, to say in
the best Hollywood fashion—“Oh,
I know I’m just going to love this
party,” and perhaps later to say,
“I tank I go home now.”
Stunt Labeled Original
Another feature of this very re
markable dance will be the enter
tainment of Jack Hammond, who
will do a new and original stunt
called "Pudd’nhead Jones.”
Favors and decorations will be
worthwhile and just right. A lad

Dr. E. B. Mittleman, associate
professor of business administra
tion and economics, was appoint
ed Wednesday by Governor Julius
L. Meier to serve as one of the
three members of the interim un
employment insurance group. Mit
telman is the member of the com
mittee who will represent the pub
lic. Other members of the group
will represent the employers and
employed.
The group is to make recommen
dation regarding insurance for the
unemployed to the 1935 legislature.
Dr. Mittelman was associate
professor of business administra

1920 to 1932 and last year was
transferred to the University.
Stalwart Kitchen Cagemen
Shame Gentler Classmates
When “dear old Delmonico,” as
he was known to past generations
of New York gourmands, first
learned to please the palate of ex
acting epicures he began by wash
ing dishes and peeling potatoes.
Later he was allowed, perhaps, to
boil eggs and perform other sim
ple tasks of cookery, and only af
ter arduous years of kitchen ap
prenticeship did he begin the cre
ation of the delightful dishes that
made him famous.
Not so arduous will be the rise
to kitchen fame of Jim “Baby
Face" Watts, Ralph Terjeson, Bob
Helliwell, Ladd Sherman, and a
number of their ambitious contem
porary cagemen, who have joined
a class in dietetics conducted by
Professor Mabel E. Wood.
Of course, women in the group
outnumber the men, but in scholar
ship are outclassed.
When asked why she, whose tra
ditional home is the kitchen, could
not cope with the un-domestic
Watts, for instance, one girl ex
pressed herself in no uncertain
terms.
"Goodness gracious! We’ve baked
biscuits and made cake ail our
lives. We know how to do it, but
we can’t answer theoretical ques
tions.” The little lady paused a
moment. “The boys,” she added,
"well, you see, maybe they study
a bit more than we do. But I’d
hate to eat their pie!”
In the spring term a course in
camp cookery, exclusively for
men, will be offered. Part of the
meals will be cooked in the labor
atory and part of them on picnie
trips to the millrace. Hen enrolled
in this course may not only learn
camp cooking but how to cook for
a family of three or four.
