I Membership Plan
ACTION PLAN MADE
Representatives to Submit Ideas to
Subcommittee of Higher
Education Group
Nothing- definite which would in
dicate a solution to the optional
student body membership problem
was accomplished at a meeting,
called by Chancellor Kerr, which
included Dean C. V. Boyer, presi
dent of the -University; Dean
George W. Peavy, president of
Oregon State; Tom Tongue, presi
dent of the A. S. U, O.; Fred Sal
■/ ing, president of the A. S. O. S. C.;
Hugh Rosson, graduate manager
of the University; Carl Lodell,
graduate manager of Oregon
State, and representatives of the
group demanding optional mem

The meeting was called to de
termine when reports could be
made on the question to submit to
a committee of the state board of
higher education and to fix a time
for the meeting of the committee.
No definite business was carried
on at the meetting.
Tom Tongue, president of the A.

board of higher education which
will meet sometime this week.
This subcommittee will then
make a recommendation to the

next Monday. It is understood
that the board will act at that
time.
Extension Department
Publishes News Sheet
The Extension Star, a four-page
news sheet telling news of the
Portland extension center, the
correspondence department, and
radio station KOAC, is a new fea
ture of extension division work.
The publication will probably be
published monthly and the first
issue will be out this week.
Wallace Wharton, who is on the
editorial staff of the Oregon Jour
nal, will use his class in journal
istic writing at the Portland cen
ter as a means of gathering some
of the news. Miss Mozelle Hair
of the correspondence department
said that the paper will be similar
to the Summer Sun, published at
the summer sessions on the Uni
versity campus.

Life of Roland Hayes Marked
By Much Dramatic Contrast
Dramatic contrast will not bei
lacking when some day the biog- j
raphy of Roland Hayes, who sings I
in McArthur court Thursday eve-!
ning, January 25, is written. The
singer, whose name few in the ■
world do not know, was not very
many years ago a farmer lad in
a poor section of Georgia. He!
was one of a large family on the j
meager holding of his widowed'
mother, born in slavery. The boy j
had to take turns with his broth- j
ers helping at home and going to!
school.
Roland Hayes still bears a scar
on his arm, the mark of his days j
as moulder in a stove factory—
one of the many jobs he took
eagerly as means to a college edu
cation.
He sang at his work, according
to the way of his race, and friends
noticed his voice. But he had no
conception of a singer’s career, or
the world of song, until by chance
he heard some phonograph records
of Eames and Caruso. “It was
as if a bell rang in my heart,” he
says, describing that moment
which gave him the ambition of
his life.
The young man put himself
through Fisk university, toured
with the Fisk Jubilee Singers. In
Boston, a noted singing teacher
singled him out and laid before
him the opportunity of a full vocal
training. He gave a few recitals,
which quickly swallowed his small
earnings.
At length, he was persuaded to
try Europe. Reaching London and
announcing a recital, he was at
the end of his resources. But that
recital brought success upon him
at last. He was commanded to
sing before the king. All London
crowded to hear him. Word of
the extraordinary young negro
singer soon traveled to the conti
nent and brought him flattering
offers.
Paris praised his delicate pre
ception of their singing style; Vi- ■
enna and Berlin held him up to ]
their own singers as a model of j
the lieder singer's art. All Eu- j
rope responded to the poignant'

| Very Fatal Germ
Of Noshoelaceitis
Loose at Condon
Have you seen two morbid
looking- students going around
clutching their shoes every now
and then with their hands?
Have you seen them hopping
around on one foot while attempt
ing to pull the other shoe out of
a mud puddle, perhaps mumbling
under their breath words which
were not,, “Oh, dear, how incon
venient!”
Have you wondered if they were
not perhaps mildly insane, or at
least suffering from some strange
malady ?
Well, you were right! They
have a serious attack of noshoe
laceitis. Sad cases, my friends,
but never let it be said that they
were not loyal. They suffered for
their alma mammy, and as a re
sult of their heroism, four (count
’em, 4) little pencils at the re
serve library in Condon hall have
nice new shoelaces tying them to
the counter, in order to prevent
their appropriation by absent
minded ( ?) students.
The attendants at Condon are
waiting their opportunity to pop
out of a dark corner and snatch
your shoelaces, so beware! The
University must be served.

Music Recital Presented
By Students Pleases Critic
A program worth more than
passing notice was presented by
student musicians at the music
auditorium last night. Two pian
ists, Harriet Moore and Frances
Mackin; one soprano, Arlene Soa
sey; and one violinist, Ellen Dixon,
were those who appeared. .
Kathryn Mishler and Frances
Brockman furnished piano accom
paniments for the players. Miss
Mishler was substituting for Hel
ene Robinson, who was originally
scheduled to assist Miss Soasey.
Because of Miss Robinson’s ab
sence, it was necessary for Arlene
Soasey to cut her number of pre
sentations in half, so that those
given were Warren’s “Children of
the Moon,” "In Luxembourgh Gar
dens,” by Manning, and “Sweet
Song of Long Ago,” by Charles.
Harriet Moore appeared first on
the program, playing the first
movement of Mozart’s Sonata in
C. major, MacDowell’s "A. D.
1620,” and Loldini’s “Marche Mig
nonne.” She displayed considera
able versatility in expression, and
an adequate and firm technique.
Once having established a pace,
she did not vary it through a piece,
which, according to individual
opinion, may or may not be good.
Miss Ellen Dixon, violinist,
played Tartini’s Fugue with what
seemed startling technical exacti
tude. Her tone was quite beauti
ful.
Frances Mackin concluded the
concert with the Dance of the Can
dy Fairy from Tschaikowsky's
"Nutcracker Suite,” Debussy’s
‘Claire de Lune,” and “From the
Carnival” by Grieg.
Though the piano lacks the
fairy-land quality of the celesta,
for which the Dance of the Candy
Fairy was written, it is at the
same time capable of producing
sounds quite similar to that instru
ment. Miss Mackin succeeded in
this “deception” rather well.
Harriet Moore and Ellen Dixon
are freshman music students.
Their next four years should bring
to light excellent musical ability.
Their potentialities as demonstrat
ed in last night’s recital point in
that direction.

Speaker Says
Romance Stiil
Exists in Love
Chaplain Board Opens
Marriage Series
AUDIENCE IS LARGE
Marriage Institution Undergoes
Change as Trial Wedlock
Grows, Pastor Shows
By PEGGY CHESSMAN
Using as his thesis the modern
day tendency to question time-old
standards, Chaplain John W.
Beard, pastor of Mount Tabor
Presbyterian church of Portland,
opened the series' of four lectures
on love and marriage at a crowd
ed assembly held in Villard hall.
The present policy, he showed
is to subject accepted institutions
to the white light of analysis, to
scorn them to a certain extent, and
to institute new methods. Instead
of beautiful poetry that has been
the product of past ages, it is the
policy now to write free verse,
which Chaplain Beard calls the re
sult of a mind not mature. In the
place of the famous paintings
created by the masters of old, pres
ent day artists give to the world
a cubic art, unreal and lacking in
the symmetry which has been a
characteristic of art.
Change in Marriage
Instead of continuing the types
of aristocracy and democracy that
have governed the generations be
fore us, we have originated a dic
tatorship.
Then, among the foremost of
changes is that which has taken
place in the institution of mar
riage,, trial or companionate mar
riages gradually replacing the le
gal monogamous form.
“The whole institution of mar
riage, the obligations of both love
and marriage,” he emphasized, “are
being questioned now more than
ever before."
Contrasts Made
Contrasting present and past
days in more detail, he demon
strated by specific examples how
at one time people were merely
aware of broken homes, illicit love
affairs, and the tragedies of both—
how they seemed only outrageous
flames of fortune. Present day
children are subjected to these
problems on every side, they are
apparent in all phases of life.
"True love ending in true mar
riage is the very foundation of hu
man society,” Chaplain Beard re
peated several times during the
lecture. “True marriage is a physi
cal, moral, legal, and spiritual
unity for the purpose of erecting a
home for the perpetuation of the
race. Marriage is a sacrament, the
outward symbol of an inner*
grace.” '
Romance Exists
With a conviction that can be
brought about only by direct con
tact with a great many people,
Chaplain Beard stated that fortu
nately there still is a romance in
love and marriage, a romance to

Effective Concert Presented
By University Band Sunday
By J. A. NEWTON
The second division of the Uni
versity band, which presented a
concert Sunday in the Igloo,
proved itself an able musical or
ganization.
The group was handicapped by
the lack of what little hangings
have been heretofore used. The
echoes were fantastic. Yet in
spite of this, the renditions were
enjoyable.
Credit for an effective presenta
tion we fee! is due John Stehn,
director of the group. His shad
ings were many and varied, and
chosen with good taste to match
the moods of the music. While
there were a few technical defi
ciencies noticeable amongst the
players themselves, Stehn always
had his group at the tip of his
baton. He puts vigor into his di
recting exactly what is neces- j
sary for effective band interpre
tation.
We will venture a few analyti
cal remarks, and may the Lord
have mercy on our soul. Favor
able comments come first.
A couple of very small but well
done clarinet solo passages were
given by John Gribble.
The Marche and Cortege from
"The Queen of Sheba” by Gounod,
and the “One Beautiful Day Over
ture” by Hildreth, which were the
first two numbers on the program,
set the audience at ease. The
first few rebounding notes made
one wonder how soon the players
would become confused. These
two numbers showed that Stehn
would not allow them to become
confused, echoes notwithstanding.
“Hungarian Fantasia” present
ed more difficulties than the first
two numbers, and the players ap
peared a bit uncertain. Yet taken
as a whole it was very satisfac
torily done.
It was in the fourth number,
excerpts from “The Wizard of the
Nile,” by Victor Herbert, that one
instrument, we believe an alto
horn, appeared to be badly off key
during the slow passages which
comprised the middle half of the
medley.
The concluding number was the
“Coronation March" by Eilenberg,
wherein the high standard estab
lished at the first of the program
was again attained.
An encore was played, Sousa’s
“Thunder.” It demonstrated the
full capabilities of this second di
vision of the band and left one
eager to hear the first division,
which is to play In about three
weeks.
