A cycle of eight performances is to be dis tributed through the entire week of April 16-21. Reports from Portland indicate that next week's season of opera will shatter all existing records for opera attendance in the Pacific northwest. The present record for 18,000 paid admissions during a single season of opera was estab lished by the Chicago Civic Opera association in Portland in 1921. The operas to be heard are “Aida," Monday night, April 16; “Rigoletto" Tuesday night; “Faust,” Wednesday afternoon; "Carmen,” Wednesday night; “Cav alleria Rusticana” and “I Pagliac ci" (double billi, Thursday night; “Lohengrin,” Friday night; “Ma dame Butterfly,” Saturday after noon; and "II Trovatore,” Saturday! night. Many students and faculty! members are planning to attend several of the performances, it is indicated. “Dollar opera” was introduced on the Pacific coast by the San Carlo company in March. The company is now playing to record crowds in Los Angeles, following its season in San Francisco. En gagements in Portland, Seattle and Vancouver will be filled before the company returns east. Announcement has been made by the Ellison-White bureau of Port land, sponsors of the company’s northwest tour, that 800 extra seats have been added to the audi torium for the engagement. This j will make it possible for Univer sity students and faculty members to obtain seats for the perform ance of “Lohengrin,” previously reported sold out, as well as to the other performances. Early res ervations are asked to insure get- i ting a good seat for any of these performances. Mail orders are be- j ing filled by the Ellison-White bu reau, care of the J. K. Gill com pany, Portland. 13th Children9 on Campus May Join National Contest The magic number 13 may be bad luck for some and good luck for others, but to Captain E. P. Price of Portland it presents just another opportunity to enroll some one in his nationwide Society of 13th Children. In a letter received by Karl W. Onthank, dean of the personnel division, yesterday, Captain Price requested that he attempt to con tact “13th children” on the Uni versity campus, as potential mem bers of the organization. Furthermore, Price insists that they be bona fide “13th children,” having the same father and moth er, “not a mixture of your chil dren and my children and our children.” As founder and presi dent of the Society of 13th Chil dren, the captain propounds the aims of the group as being estab lished “for sociability, amusement, mutual aid, and the sociological study of the later children in large families.” Anyone who can pass his en trance examinations to this unique organization is requested to write Price at 1025 Corbett building, Portland, and receive his or her membership papers.

Dr. Wright, in commenting up on conditions throughout the American republics, stated that he considered the relationship be tween the nations to be steadily improving, especially since the re cent Montevideo conference, which was attended by Secretary of State Cordell Hull, and which he considered the most successful of a long series of Pan-American congresses. "The nations to the south of us,” said Dr. Wright, "feel that our big stick policy of imperialism is beng abandoned, and that they see in us not a domineering powerful ‘colossus of the north,’ but rather a friendly big sister nation.” YMCA Secretary Will Visit Oregon Campus Dr. Raymond B.

Students Pledge Support to ASUO At Rally Meeting Dancers at Kokonut Grove Drown Out Attempts to Get Reports, From Organizations Enthusiastic support was pledged to the A. S. U. O. membership drive at the rally and dance held last night at the Kokonut Grove. The rally spirit was too much for Tom Tongue, student body presi dent, who attempted to secure re ports on the progress of the drive from the representatives of organ izations present. He was drowned out, and the dancing continued to the music of Sherwood Burr’s campus orchestra. Following the rally and dance Tongue made the following state ment concerning the student body membership campaign which ends today at noon. “The optional fee has meant a mess and a lot of work for every one, and not a few hard feelings. It has been necessary to draw a line of distinction between the priv ileges of those who are members of the A. S. U. O. to deny to those not supporting it the privileges which they have made possible, such a condition is regrettable but unavoidable. “The campaign during the last two weeks, though not a spectacu lar one, has been in earnest. It has had to be in earnest to insure the financing of the spring program of activities and to show the board of higher education j.hat students be lieve in and want student govern ment.” The Alpha Phi trio provided a feature number as a part of the program of entertainment ar ranged by a committee headed by George Birnie.

FateofASUO Depends Upon Board Sessions Meeting Slated Monday In Portland PLANS PRESENTED Decision to Submit Suggestions To Education Group Depends Upon Presidents The fate of student government and student activities at both the University and the state college will be in the hands of the state board of higher education Monday, when it meets in Portland. Since the written decision of Attorney General Van Winkle declared stu dent body membership optional, numerous groups have been pre paring plans for reorganization to submit to the board, and student leaders on the campuses at Eu gene and Corvallis are alike plead ing for some definite action at Monday’s session. For the past week student lead ers have been working on a plan which would leave activities and campus government in the hands of the students, but would elimin ate the legal difficulties in the dis bursement of student fees. Scheme Presented This scheme, backed unanimous ly by student spokesmen from both Eugene and Corvallis, has been presented in identical form to the presidents of the respective insti tutions. Whether or not the pro posals will be forwarded to the state board for consideration will be left to the decisions of Presi dent Peavy of O.S.C. and President Boyer of the University. The resolution of the local stu dent group follows: “We, the representatives of the undersigned student organization of the University of Oregon, hav ing given careful consideration to the present difficulty regarding the levying and disbursement of fees for student activities, do hereby resolve: A.S.U.O. Declared Stable "1. That in our opinion the As sociated Students of the Univer sity of Oregon during its existence of over 30 years has shown istelf to be a stable and successful means for the conduct of student govern ment and student activities. “2. That we believe it would be detrimental to'the advancement of student government and student activities to replace of faculty con trol and direction the present sys tem of student control over those endeavors in which they partici pate and which they themselves support. “3. That, therefore, we urge the board of higher education of the state of Oregon to adopt the pro posal presented jointly by the As (Continued on Page Tivo) Canoe Fete Drawings To Be Held at Libe by Organizations Today Representatives of organiza tions planning to enter a float in the annual canoe fete during Junior Weekend are asked to meet on the steps of the old libe today at 11:50 a. m. Drawings for pairings in con struction of floats will be made at that time. Players Rehearse in Twos, Threes9 and by the Dozen With two plays in rehearsal for May productions, the present home of the University theater cannot provide enough work space for all concerned. The 24 players al ready selected by Mr. Robinson for "The Chief Thing," rehearse in two’s and three’s and by the doz-; en, afternoons and evenings on the Guild theater stage. Groups of three, six, or ten, belonging to the cast of "Taming of the Shrew,’’ may be seen hastening out of the administration building to seek Mrs. Seybolt, in, or near Villard. When the ground is wet or the sky cloudy, Villard assem bly echoes and re-echoes, (not a figure of speech) to the resounding pentameters of Petrouchio’s bois terous love making or Katharine's violent, shrill defiance. On warm sunny days the same actors and actresses may be seen strutting about in imaginary doublets, or scarlet plumes in the shadows of the fir trees back of Deady. The two players who gave the performances of Agmar, leader of the beggars, in “Gods of the Moun tain” last winter, head the present casts. Ted Karafotias, as Para clete, doctor, monk, and Harlequin, is the central figure of the Russian play to be produced on May 2, 4, 5, in Guild theater. Bill Schloth, as Petruchio, braggart, adventurer, and tamer of women, plays the masculine lead in the "Taming of the Shrew,” and is ably defied by Virginia Wappejistein as Kathar ine, the shrew. The box office in Johnson hall will be open today from 10 to 12, and Monday from 4 to 0. Tickets for "The Chief Thing” will be ob tainable at these times.
