Library Gets Collection of Negro Songs 1000 Libraries Receive Works of Foster Group Consists of Reproductions Of Original Manuscripts Of 200 Pieces Unique and valuable in many ways is a gift received yesterday by the University library. It is a collection of reproductions of the works of Stephen Collins Foster, composer of “My Old Kentucky Home," “Old Black Joe,’ and many other well known negro songs. Josiah Kirby Lilly, of the Foster hall staff is presenting 1000 such collections to libraries strategical ly located in this and other coun tries, free of charge so that the works of the famous composer may be preserved in their original form. The collection is in a dust-proof steel case of three shelves, in which are slip covers of buckram housing- the pieces, which are sep arate and arranged in’ alphabetical order. Accompanying the collection is a book giving information about the publication of the works and an index complete in every detail. Each of Foster’s works is re produced in exact detail from cop ies of first editions when they could be obtained a.*d otherwise from the earliest obtainable edi tions. Two hundred pieces are in cluded, reproduced in the first form in which they appeared, whether it was as shee music, in a magazine, or in a song book. These reproductions are intended to be used as a basis for determin ing the authenticity of copies of the composer’s works. They were privately printed by Josiah Kirby Lilly on specially water-marked rag paper. It is the intention of the publisher to reproduce Foster any others of Foster’s works that may be discovered by the Foster hall research staff and send them to the libraries which have these collections. BRIEF PRESENTS VIEWS ON REQUIRED R. 0. T. C. (Continued from Page One) to the physical needs of college men.) “5. The present grounds for ex emption are unsatisfactory. (Ex emption on the ground of consci entious objection is not satisfac- J tory. It should not be necessary in a college which purports to he a liberal institution to make the cri teria for student action confirma tion to religious beliefs . . . Exemp tion is conferred by army officers who, both because of training' and economic interest, should not be expected to be impartial judges. Exemption because of scruples is only obtained after considerable embarrassemnt and official red tape . . . ) “G. Military 111, 112, 113, and Sophomore Military 211, 212, and 213 do not constitute a satisfac tory course in citizenship and should not be maintained as com pulsory on those grounds. “7. More than 20 other univer sities and colleges in the United States have found it advisable either to shift military training from compulsory to optional stat us or to abolish it completely. “The reasons given above are all offered in support of the thesis that the courses cited do not offer values which warrant their present compulsory status. We ask, therefore, that military train ing be placed on a par with other courses which, however valuable, are not required of the students at the University of Oregon.” GUILD THEATER WILL GIVE PLAY TONIGHT (Continued from Page One) stage crew, Robert Riddell and Lucille Stewart; lighting, Russell Humphrey and Bill Paddock; properties, Gene McMunn and Glenn Hooper; business manager, Carl Gross; script girl, Bette Church.

Girls’ School Has Practical Organization College Represents New Idea in Education No Informal Examinations Given; Eentrance Secured Only By Desire “To train young women in busi ness, investment and secretarial principles” is the purpose of Web ber eollege, a unique innovation in higher education history, located in Boston and Babson Park, Florida, according' to the catalog issued by the college a copy of which was sent to the offices of the Univer sity dean of women, Mrs. Hazel P. Schwering. Webber college, established by Mrs. Reger W. Babson, wife of the famous economist, represents an entirely new idea in the education of women. As the catalog says, “It is the first school of its kind in the world organized to be oper ated without profit, exclusively to fit women to meet the business re sponsibilities of private or busi ness life.” There are but two semesters in the school year of Webber, the first in Boston, the second in Florida. School is dismissed on May 8, there being no Easter holidays. The cur riculum includes a two-year course for graduate students, high school graduates or women with some college experience. The courses include such sub jects as typewriting, accounting, sociology, government, literature, economics, social welfare, and aims to “prepare young women for the responsibilities they will incur in Emerald of the Air .1 VV H offer today: ^ At 4:30—A 15-minute splash in the news of the day.

Scanning the Cinemas McDonald—“Mr. Skitch.” star ring Zasu Pitts and Will Rogers. Showing for the last time today. Colonial — “Red Head,” star ring a French cast. Show ing for two days. By RALPH MASON The "Ked Head’’ The opening scenes of this film are somewhat disappointing, due to the drab surroundings and the undulating speech of Madame Lepic, terror of the household. Just about the time one is won dering whether he will ever un derstand what the whole thing is about (the dialogue is in French, with subtitles in English! the ac tion becomes organized and from then on moves logically forward. One feature of this film is the time and detail spent in introduc ing the characters, which is done with ingenuity and thoroughness. The simplicity of the entire film seemingly makes it impos sible for any great dramatic heights to be attained, but such is not the case, rather the ab sence of superfluous digressions allows the more fundamental emo tions to come into full play. “Mr. Skifch” Will’s brand of humorous wise cracks coupled with the Zasu Pitts clowning (or is it clown ing?) are the main features of this picture showing at the Mac for the last time today. The theme is the depression one, where the poor family has to vacate and turn to the highways for a living, only to return after an appropri ate interval to start all over again. - Laurel and Hardy have made another feature called "Sons of the Dessert.” Don’t know much about it but seems that they are delegates to a convention and then have a hard time getting rid of their suspecting wives.
