‘Miami Triad’
Dance Barred
From Campus
Student Affairs Group
Takes Action
BAN IS PERMANENT
IOvont Given by Three Fraternities
Draws Severe Criticism,
Says Dean of Women
The “Miami Triad” dance is
henceforth to be banned on the
University campus.
The drastic action was taken
yesterday afternoon by the stu
dent affairs committee of the Uni
versity, in declaring the "Triad”
outlawed because actions of some
students present at the dance “did
not meet University standards.”
The dance, which was held at
the Osburn hotel Saturday, Feb
ruary 3, brought severe criticism
upon the University, Hazel P.
Schwering, dean of women, told
the Emerald.
Sponsors Number Three
Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Chi, and
Phi Delta Theta are the fraterni
ties making up the Miami Triad,
sponsors of the affair.
For the last three years the
dance had not been held, because
of a similar ban placed upon the
dance in 1931, following certain
disorders in the event that year.
A petition seeking the reinstate
ment of the dance for this year
was granted at a student affairs
committee meeting January 26.
The present ban upon the Triad
is to be final, reports from the
dean of women’s office indicated.
There will be no possibility of re
instatement.
Dean Issues Warning
- Warning was given by Mrs.
Schwering that disorderliness at
campus functions will not be tol
erated. “The committee will not
hesitate to take such action on
any dances where conduct is per
mitted which reflects discredit up
on the University,” she declared.
Chapter officials of Beta Theta
Pi, Phi Delta Theta, and Sigma
Chi refused to comment on the
action when they were reached
last night by the Emerald.
Love, Marriage Talk

Men and women students were

logical aspects of love and mar
riage in the third of a series of

ciety, will conclude the series of

19, when she will speak before a
combined meeting of men and wo
men on the factors that are essen

Allen Ran Chester Rowell
With Li Harvey W. Scott
Chester Rowell, editor of the
San Francisco Chronicle, who will
speak before a genera! assembly
in Gerlinger tomorrow morning at
10 o’clock, is one of the two ablest
newspaper men ever to function
on the Pacific coast, in the opinion
of Dean Eric W. Allen. The other
was Harvey W. SCott, for over 30
years editor of the Oregonian, who
died in 1910.
A teacher of German in 1897-98
at the University of Illinois, Row
ell decided that there was a great
er chance for success in the news
paper business. He bought the
Fresno (California) Republican
and built it up from a small coun
try weekly into a highly respecta
ble and successful paper known
the length of the coast for the ex
cellence of its quality, and ranking
with the best papers of Los Ange
les, San Francisco, Portland, and
Seattle.
After 22 years as editor and
publisher of the Republican Row
ell retired to bevote himself to pub
lic service. The sale of the Fresno
weekly brought its owner about

By HENRIETTE HORAK |
“Backward, turn backward, oh
time in your flight, make me a
bride just for tonight.”
The annals of time will be rolled
back more than a hundred years

music auditorium, and brides of
the past century and a half will,
through the medium of Univer
sity and townswomen, show what
the well-dressed brides wore down
through the ages, up to our mod
ern wedding attire.
The event which is termed
“Wedding Belles” will be in the
form of a pageant, and besides
the parade of the brides, three
weddings will be performed: an
old-fashioned one, a futuristic cer
emony, and a typical modern one.
The weddings will be true in every
detail, including the full retinues
of wedding parties, and complete
in every part, except for the ac
tual words of the minister.
The personnel of the weddings
includes many campus people,
both students and faculty. Those
who -will take part in the old
fashioned wedding are: Miss Mar
garet Ann Smith, bride; Bill
Schloth, bridegroom; Miss Helan
Skipworth, maid of honor; Misses
Gretchen Wintermeier, Lorraine
Barker, Claire Bryson, Marjorie
Zane, bridesmaids; Hartley Knee
land, best man; Peter Buck
George Skipworth, George Flint,
Wilfred Roadman, groomsmen;
Elizabeth DeCou, Joan Lehman,
Susan Huffaker, Mary Elizabeth
Earl, ribbon bearers; Janet Tug
man and Marilyn Rowling, flower
girls; Billy Wilmot and Tommy
Tugman, pages; Sally Waller, ring
bearer; Mrs. Eric W. Allen,
mother of the bride; Mrs. Frank
Chambers, mother of the groom;
Miss Elizabeth Thacher, Miss Eli
nor Fitch, Mrs. Mary Wernham,
relatives, and Kenneth Shumaker,
clergyman.
Taking part in the modern wed
ding will be Mrs. George Hopkins,

maids; Bob Heliwell, Mark Corey,
Bill Davis, Jerry Denslow, George
Bernie, ushers; Riley Thompson,
father of the bride; Sally Flippin

I $1 000,000. In 1932 the San Fran
cisco Chronicle persuaded Rowell
to become editor. In many ways
Rowell’s own paper, the Republi
can, is more representative of his
policies than the paper he now
edits.
“Rowell is a man of distinction
and learning,’’ said Dean Allen.
He is a Hoover Republican and
talks sense.” The Chronicle’s edit
or is a staunch Republican, as the
name of his former Fresno paper
might indicate, and has served as
delegate to the national convention
more than once.
Since 1923 Rowell has been
largely engaged in foreign travel,
lecturing and writing for maga
zines and newspaper syndicates.
He is the author of a lengthy,
scholarly treatise entitled “Digest!
of Congested Election Cases in the
House of Representatives of the
United States—First to Fifty-Sixth
Congress 1901.”
Chester Rowell has had a highly
diversified and cosmopolitan edu
cation. He received a Fh.B. degree

Funeral Services
Of Oscar Munger
Occur on Monday
Graduate of 1938 Succumbs From
Bone Disease in Hospital
At The Dulles
Funeral services were held yes
terday for Oscar Munger of Fos
sil, a graduate of the University
of Oregon in the class of 1933,
whose death occurred at. The
Dalles Friday.
News of the tragedy did not
reach the campus until yesterday,
although Munger had many close
friends among students and fac
ulty members.
Munger was 23 years old. His
death came as the result of a re
currence of a bone disease which
had caused the loss of a leg at
the age of 11.
Despite his physical handicap,
Munger made a brilliant record as
an undergraduate at the Univer
sity. For four years he was a
member of the Emerald staff,
completing his career with the po
sition of news editor, having pre
viously served as reporter, copy
editor, and day editor. In his jun
ior year he was elected to Sigma
Delta Chi, nation U professional
journalistic fraternity, served as
secretary and Quill correspondent
of that organization, and was
awarded membership in the Order
of the Emerald O, for distinguished
service to the campus newspaper.
At the annual Emera'd banquet
last June, Munger was awarded
the Hall-Turnbull honor trophy, as
being the outstanding senior stu
dent on the Emerald staff in point
of service, ability, and inspira
tional qualities.
Eric W. Allen, dean of the
school of journalism, had the fol
lowing tribute to pay to his for
mer student:
“Munger, in spite of a serious
handicap, made a most definite im
pression of efficiency, faithfulness,
and executive ability. He never let
go of a job that he had undertaken,
or an idea he was trying to work
out, until he had done something
with it. He was personally liked;
a sterling friend and a pleasant
companion, and he will be greatly
missed.”
Munger was the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Oliver Munger of Fossil. He
is survived also by a brother, Ol
iver, and a sister.

Hopkins Offers
RecitalTonight
In Auditorium
Program to Commence
At 8:15
VARIETY PROMISED
Member of Music Faculty to Give
Numbers by Schumann, Chopin,
Debussy, (loosens, Ilavel
George Hopkins, professor of
piano in the University depart
ment of music, is scheduled to ap
pear in recital tonight at 8:15 in
the music auditorium.
Hopkins' recitals usually fill the
auditorium to near capacity.
He has appeared numerous
times in Eugene and the cities of
the northwest, including Portland.
Last quarter he gave a “recital
for young' people of all ages” at
the music auditorium, which was
attended by both young and old.
Program Presented
The program follows:
I
Schumann .
.Viennese Carnival Pranks
Allegro
Romanze
Scherzino
Intermezzo
Finale
II
Chopin .
.. .Waltz in a-flat, op. 34, No. 1
Chopin ..
.Nocturne in C-sharp minor
Chopin .Sonata in B-minor
Allegro Maestoso
Scherzo
Largo
Finale
Ill
Debussy . Reverie
Goosens .The Hurdy-Gurdy Man
Ravel .The Fountain
Ravel .Alborada del Gracioso
The first number, while entitled
“Viennese Carnival Pranks,” is
really an impression of several
Viennese carnivals. It contains a
few bars of the Marseillaise, a
melody forbidden in Austria at
the time Schumann wrote the
work.
Chopin Represented
Concerning the Chopin group,
Hopkins states that the waltz in
a-flat is very well known. The
Nocturne in C-sharp minor, while
very beautiful, is seldom heard.
The' Sonata in B-minor, Hopkins
says, is one of the greatest works
ever written for the piano. It is
a long number.
The final group contains mod
ern selections: “Reverie” by De
bussy, “Hurdy Gurdy Man” by
Goosens, an impressionistic selec
tion which represents an organ
grinder; “The Fountain” by Ravel,
which is another well-known work,
and finally the “Alborada del
Gracioso” by Ravel also, of which
the translation means “The Dawn
Song of a Clown.”
Dr. Morris Speaks
Dr. Victor P. Morris, professor
of economics, spoke at the teach
ers’ institute in Silverton Satur
day. His subject was “Democracy
in the Present Crisis.’’
Oregon State Violinist Gives
Program of Sincere Music
By J. A. NEWTON
Florence Stone, Oregon State
violin student of Howard Halbert,
displayed a characteristic seldom
seen in a student musician during
her recital last night in the music
auditorium. She has a sense of
humor. She came with the inten
tion of doing her best. When she
made errors it was merely part
of the experiment. She smiled and
picked up the musical thread in
the next measure.
This is an ideal attitude for a
student recital.
However, do not get the im
pression that Miss Stone’s recital
contained many errors. It most
certainly did not.
What it did show was that Miss
Stone is capable of understanding
the moods of a selection, but has
not yet developed a technique to
match that understanding. It is
only a matter of time, if she stays
with it and studies diligently, un
til she will be capable of produc
ing excellent music.
It is certainly refreshing to find
a student who is willing to put
the music as a form of art before
technique as a mere mechanical
agency, while most students (and
professionals too, for that matter)
are so eager to sacrifice music to
the great god, Technical Accu
racy.
Miss Stone's technique, of
course, is lacking in some essen
tials. For instance, her right,
wrist inclined to tighten in the
more difficult passages of the
program and as a consequence her
tone was a trifle harsh or rather
unnecessarily loud. But at the
same time her tone was firm and
her bowing decisive.
Her technique needs refining, a
process which without doubt will
come naturally with continued
study and recital experience.
She did the Handel Sonata in
F major very well, producing
solid, clear notes, all even; all
with a fine interpretation of Han
del’s moods, from the sprightly
Allegro to the slow-moving Largo.
It was musically done.
This is Miss Stone’s first recital
program, and her second public
appearance. A short time ago she
gave this same program at Ore
gon State college.
