Amendments
4 Sets of Revisions Will
Be Put on Ballot
POLLS TO OPEN AT 9
First Group of Changes Proposed
By Constitutional
Committee
With more than three dozen
amendments awaiting their con
sideration, Oregon's associated stu
dent voters will file to the polls in
the Y hut tomorrow to take part
in the revision of the ASUO con
stitution. Following the assembly
held last Wednesday for the pur
pose of introducing the amend
ments, controversy over the sug
gested changes has been a major
topic of campus conversation.
Four sets of amendments will
face the 500 voters who must cast
their ballots before any one of the
proposals can become part of the
constitution. The first group in
cludes those changes proposed by
the constitutional revision com
mittee appointed by Student Body
President Tom Tongue last fall.
The other suggested amendments
are those proposed by Dick Neu
berger, Stephen B. Kahn, Eugene
Laird, and others.
All of these amendments were
not read at the assembly last
week; nevertheless, all will be
printed on the ballot in accord with
a ruling made by the judiciary
committee last week.
The polls will be open from 9
o’clock in the morning until 3
o’clock in the afternoon. All stu
dents who have paid their ASUO
dues, as included in the regular
registration fee this term, will be
entitled to vote. To become a part
of the constitution an amendment
must receive an affirmative vote
from two-thirds of those balloting.
Anti-Fascist Club
To Meet Tonight
Executive council member of
the Student League Against War
and Fascism will present a pro
posed constitution to that group
tonight when it holds its third
meeting at 7:30 in the Y hut. A
permanent name will also be se
lected.
One member of the group has
prepared an introduction to dis
cussion on the present plight of the
American negro in the South. In
terest in this subject was aroused
by a recent letter from the Har
vard liberal club asking coopera
tion in a campaign to demand an
investigation of the activities of
Huey Long, Louisiana storm-cen
ter.
The meeting is open to all stu
dents and is non-partisan.

Former Campus Assembly
Recalled by Visit ofVillard
By FREDERIC DUNN j
(Professor of Latin)
Apropos of Mr. Oswald Garrison
Villard’s contemplated visit in Eu
gene, an incident that occurred on
the occasion of his father’s similar
visit to the campus may be inter- j
esting.
It was to be the distinction of!
Mr. Henry Villard to be welcomed \
by an assemblage of students and j
citizens in the hall so recently I
dedicated to his honor and name, i
I was a junior at the time, and
well do I recall how each member
of the faculty instructed all classes i
to be on the best behavior pos
sible. It reminds us of the storied j
visitations of the “deestrick fa
ther’s” or of that grandiose per
sonage known to us youngsters by
the almost divine title Superin
tendent of Public Instruction. On
this occasion all would have
eventuated properly had not our
then President made an unfortu
nate lapsus linguae. John W.
Johnson was proverbially no plat
form man, habitually averse to
formalities of the sort. His nerv
ous squirmings and glances at his
watch during commencement ex
ercises were historic.
Banquets ? Receptions ? Mercy,
no! President Johnson would be
sure to be off on a duck hunting
expedition. His confreres on the
faculty were well acquainted with
these frailties of his and were al
ways ready to substitute for so
ciety’s sake.
Perhaps his error in this in
stance may have been induced by
a. very usual happening to his
trouser leg, which had a habit of
being caught up on the strap of
his high boot.
Thereafter would ensue a spec
tacular leg shaking, until the
“pant” would gradually slip down
to somewhere above the instep.
However that may be, before in
troducing Oregon’s great benefac
tor, it was expected of President
Johnson to ask the audience to
arise and remain standing during
an invocation.
What he did say was, “The au
dience will please rise and keep
on rising until the prayer is
ended.”
A titter ran through the audi
ence and someone next to me- -
was it Jack McClure, or was it
Herbert Condon?—nudged me in

Emerald Staff Has
Hamburger Feast
Intended for Dog
The sterling humanity of the
Emerald staff was proved beyond
a doubt last night when the cam
pus daily, workers unstintingly
subscribed to a fund which had as
its ultimate end the maintenance
,and victualization of a poor stray
dog who was either very hungry
or very aesthetic. The consensus
of opinion around the “shack’’ sup
ported the former premise, and
since the newspaper workers are
really a very tender lot, a collec
tion was taken for the emaciated
canine.
A pound of hamburger and a
box of dog biscuit were according
ly purchased and the good Samar
itans prepared to refuel the object
of theier sympathy, but alas and
alack. Someone had opened a door
and the “bird had flown.”
However, in addition to their
humanitarian tendencies, newspa
per people are very ingenious. A
few minutes sufficed to fry the
hamburger on a small gas stove
in the journalism building, and,
with buns gained in the exchange
of the dog biscuits, hot hamburg
ers were soon served to the staff.
Some poor dog missed a banquet.

4East Lynne’ to Be
Given at Theater
The first performance of "East
Lynne” will be given tonight at
the Very Little theater on Thir
teenth, near Ferry. The play will
also be presented each night dur
ing the present week, until Satur
day, March 3, inclusive. The cur
tain will rise at S p. m. each eve
ning.
Tickets for the drama went on
sale at the Co-op yesterday.
“East Lynne” is a famous play
which mirrors the time in which it
was written, dealing with the pe
riod of the 1860's. It is a study of
the thoughts of people of that era.
The Very Little theater is
avowedly making an attempt to
give a sincere and intelligent ren
dition of this melodrama in the
manner in which it was presented
in its heyday.
Production of'Cradle Song5
Brings Out Dramatic Talent
One characteristic apparent in
dramatic material from Europe is
the fact that it moves slowly.
“Cradle Song,” presented Satur
day night in the Guild theater,
had this characteristic.
The modern youth becomes im
patient in the face of this leisurely
treatment. It is so hampering to
the speed of the life of the mod
ern American.
But without question “Cradle
Song” should, and did prove very
effective for the older members of
the audience, judging from the
amount of sniffling and use of
handkerchiefs following the final
curtain.
The play deals with convent
life. An infant girl is left at the
convent door. One of the novices
immediately takes her under her
guidance. This action is included
in the first act.
The second act represents the
parting of the grown-up girl and
the “community,” the drama be
ing centered upon the parting of
the nun who originally took the
child, and the girl, who has come
to regard Sister Joanna as
“mother."
New ability was revealed in the
presentation, notably that of John
Casteel, assistant professor of
English, who played the part of
Don Jose, who adopts the child
and leaves her in the care of the
nuns. He gave his lines a musical
beauty, and his characterization
reality.
Then there is Lucille Stewart,
who played Sister Joanna, the
novice who turned all her affec
tion upon the motherless child. It
was a part calling for understand
ing and delicacy, both of which
Miss Stewart had. She projected
the emotion of Sister Joanna be
yond the stage into the audience.
And then there was Virginia
Wappenstein, who played Sister
Marcella, an irrepressible young
girl, full of the vigor and pep of
youth and always getting into
trouble.
Mrs. Seybolt, director of the
play, had the part of the Prioress,
and Gertrude Winslow, well
known campus actress, the part
of Teresa, the unclaimed girl.
Every seat in the Guild theater
was sold, including about a dozen
extra seats put at the rear of the
hall. And to judge from the in
sistent applause at the end of the
play, the audience was quite
pleased. They applauded until
Miss Winslow and Miss Stewart
took a bow.

John Goss Tells
Of Overcrowding
In Law Vocation
Speaker Suggests Use of Quota
System to Narrow Down
Number in Field
In an address tinged with hu
mor, John D, Goss, Marshfield at
torney, discussed the vocational
problems of the lawyer before the
law school student body last night.
Goss, who has been a member
of the Oregon state senate and is
now a candidate in the primaries
for a congressional seat, consid
ered the practicing lawyer’s prob
lems in the light of the historical
development of law in the United
States.
Overcrowding of the profession
is the main source of trouble, ac
cording to Goss. The field of law
business has not enlarged in pro
portion to the vast increase in the
number of practicing lawyers dur
ing the last twenty years.
Aside from the general slump in
law business during the depres
sion, there has been a gradual
narrowing-down of the field, Goss
stated. This has been due in part
to consolidation of business, thus
calling for only one legal firm
where formerly two were needed.
It is also due to the more fixed
relations of today’s established so

Juniors to Show
Talented Shining
Abilities for Dime
Members of ’85 Will Daub Shoes
Tomorrow at Three Stands
Placed on Campus
Fastidious students, both male
and female, will be urged to “get
that shine’ tomorrow when mem
bers of the class of 1935 will of
ficiate with brush and paste as the
feature of the annual Junior Shine
day. Dick Shearer, general chair
man of the affair, announces that
shines will be a dime each. Tickets
may be secured this noon from
coeds who will vend the ducats in
all campus living organizations.
Regular shine stands on the cam
pus will close for the day, donating
their materials to the amateur
third-year brush-wielders.
A prize of $5 in merchandise is
being offered by MacMorran and
Washburne in connection with the
affair. Details of the contest are
as yet a secret. They will be ex
plained by the ticket saleswomen
today.
Students will be able to secure a
shine at any of three stands. One
will be situated in frone of the old
library; another in front of Con
don hall; and a third between Ore
gon and Commerce halls. Juniors
will work in shifts during the day.
Members of the committee in
charge of the day’s activities,
working under Shearer, are Jim
Wells, assistant chairman; Bill W.
Davis and Helen Stinger, publicity;
Jack Mulder, materials; and Fred
Whittlesey, construction.
The slogan of the shiners, ac
cording to Shearer, will be: “Both
shoes and sox get a shine; step
right up and pay your dime.”

Campbell has had considerable
concert experience and has ap
peared in New York and Los An
geles. W. J. Henderson, music
critic of the New York Evening
Sun, who is said to be a very con
scientious writer, wrote of Camp
bell, he ‘‘performed the ‘Weinen
Klagen,' variations of Liszt and of
Bach with splendid technical skill,
authoritative musicianship, and
manifest faith in its importance
. . . It is probable, as it is desira
ble, that he will be heard here
again.”
He is among the very few pian
ists who have been asked by Pad
erewski to come to his ranch at
Paso Robles in southern Califor
nia for an audition.

John Stehn’s Arrangements
Featured on Band Program
By J. A. NEWTON 1
It is worthy of note that the ar- 1
rangements of the Bach C major
Tocatta and Fugue and the Scher
zo from Beethoven’s Sonata Op.
26, both of which the University’s
first division band played during
their program last Sunday, were
by John Stehn, the director.
Further, it is worthy of com
mendation that the band should
attempt such a difficult work as
the Bach number. The works of J.
S. Bach have been heard all too
few times in the past, though they
are gradually receiving more and
more notice from both orchestras 1
and soloists.
The hours spent in practice on
this number were many. They
were spent with purpose and with
result. Yet it is only fail1 to state
that the number was a bit beyond
the band’s ability.
It is not to be inferred, however,
that the number was not played
accurately nor on key, though
there is some question on this last
point as usual, for as a whole the
rendition may be called accurate,
especially the fugue.
But Bach is so much more than
accuracy. In order to achieve the
true Bach effect the performer
must throw himself into the music
—must abandon himself to it, yet
retain very nearly perfect mechan
ical control.
It demands a near approach to
echnical perfection which must
lever be apparent. The mechan
sm was apparent Sunday.
The very fact, as noted on the
orogram, that the Goldman band,
i nationally famous musical group,
vas one of two bands in this coun
try to ever attempt similar works
ly Bach explains the case perfect
y. Such compositions are for
lighiy trained professional organ
zations.
As a student project, a more dis
ciplinary piece of music could not
oe found. Such, of course, is the
purpose of the student organiza
tion. Nobody knows to what
leights such small beginnings may
lead.
For one familiar with Beetho
ven's piano compositions, the mu
sical “heaviness” of the band as
compared with the piano is very
apparent. This was noticeable in»
the Beethoven Scherzo, a light,
flippant, little piece, very short.
Weber's Overture to “Peter
‘Schmoll,” which closed the pro
gram, was well suited to the tem
perament of the band.
It is getting tiresome, is it not,
to find that instruments are off
key. Yet as long as it continues
it will be mentioned here. The bass
horns get the blame this time, and
possibly the tuba, though the sec
ond culprit was not so conspicu
ous. The fact remains that off
pitch notes do not constitute mu
sic.
