UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1934 NUMBER 105 Webfoots Start Peanut Chase In Game Today Oregon State Opposition On Reinhart Field STARTING TIME 3:30 Conference Season Will Open for Both Aggregations; Oregon Swatters Favored Determined to avenge defeats suffered during the past season in both football and basketball, Slats Gill and the Oregon State college baseball team will arrive here at noon today and will meet the Web foot varsity nine at 3:30 on Rein hart field in the first conference game of the season for either team. Based on preconference games, Coach Reinhart’s charges are fa vored to continue the Webfoot rec ord of victory. Both teams have played two games with Willamette university, with the Ducks winning both contests and the Beavers dropping their two. With a .310 batting average for all preconfer ence clashes, the Webfoot nine also rates well ahead of its Orange op ponents. Practice Short In order to leave the field in as good condition as possible, last night’s practice session was cut short when rain started. Unless a steady shower follows yesterday’s drizzle, .the game will start as scheduled with the field in fair playing condition. Four veteran Webfoot hurlers will be ready to go into the box today, with Coach Reinhart still undecided between Don McFadden and Ron Gemmell. Ossie Edwards and Ike Donin will also be in shape to serve but Jack Todd is still bothered with a lame back. In the five-way competition for the catching berth, Mickey Vail has forged ahead of Con Fury, Homer Goulet, Marvin Stroble, and Hackney, and will start behind the plate today. Gill Has Southpaw With the announcement from the Beaver camp that Boyd Rasmus sen, veteran southpaw, will open the game there is the possibility that Mark DeLauney and Mike Hunt will be jerked from the Duck lineup to make way for right handed hitters. Ivan Elliott, Hugh McCredie, and Bob Thunemann are likely substitutes. Harry McCall at first and Ray Koch and Joe Gordon at second and short will complete the infield line up, and Wes Clausen and Maury Van Vliet the outer gardens. For the Beavers Bob Hollenbeck will receive Rasmussen’s offerings, Bob Bergstrom, Tess Weber, and Dan Mitola are outfielders, and-Jim Clarke, Bill Callan, Ed Creider, and George Hibbard will make up the infield. The second game of the series will be played tomorrow at the same starting time on the Oregon State diamond at Corvallis. Old Libe Receives 4La Razon’, Spanish Paper Of interest to students of Span ish is the notice of the arrival at the old libe of “La Razon,” the 1934 annual edition of the Buenos Aires, Argentina newspaper of the same name.

Fish Raising on the Desert v.vflWRKv . . .. -v • • . -..vosufc...-.•.-rr-c-r-:-. That sounds like another fish story—but it’s true. They’re raising fish on the Arizona desert now. Above is a view of the Hunt bass hatchery, a series of six artificial lakes right out among the cacti and sagebrush of the desert, seven miles from Phoenix, Arizona. In these lakes, bass are raised to stock Ari zona’s mountain streams and lakes. More than a mi lion baby bass are expected at the plant this spring and summer. The hatchery was named in honor of former Governor G. VV. P. Hunt. Picture of Villard Hall Is Presented To Recent Visitor Photograph of Building on Campus To Be Placed in Study of Famous Editor Once again a picture of Villard hall on the University campus will hang over the desk of Oswald Gar rison Villard, famous liberal editor, and son of Henry Villard, for whom the stately old building was named. When Villard was a visitor here last month he told those honoring him at a banquet that a photo graph of the structure hung in his study until his home on the Hudson river burned down several years ago. Now once more a picture of the building dedicated to his father will grace the noted editor's study. This week the Kennel-Ellis studio of Eugene and the Carl R. Baker film shop cooperated with the student committee in charge of Villard’s recent visit to send the writer a large, silver-framed photograph of the ivy-covered university building. The studio provided the photograph and the film shop did the mount ing. The finished gift immediately was sent to Villard at his office at the Nation weekly, of which he is publisher. Students in charge of the under taking were Richard S. Near, sen ior law student; Wallace J. Camp bell, graduate in sociology; Cyn thia Liljeqvist, sophomore in arts and languages; Dick Neuberger, junior in law; Raymond J. Morse, sophomore in social science; and Stephen B. Kahn, first year law student. Since his visit here, Villard has communicated with several people on the campus. He also wrote an article for the Nation from Port land last month, in which he mourned the small salaries being paid professors at the University, and condemned what he termed excessive expenditures for military training. Band to Give Concert In Oakridge Tuesday The spring series of rural con certs, given by the University of Oregon band, will be resumed next Tuesday evening when a group of about 20 travel to Oakridge. This trip will be the longest un dertaken by the toandsmen this term. The sudden rush of appli cations to go seemed due to the dinner that lies at the end of the jaunt. Because of the distance of the town from Eugene, the bands men will start around 5 o’clock. 'It Must Have Been A Couple Of Other Fellows \ Says Jukes “It must have been a couple of other fellows,” said Jukes last night in commenting on his crush ing defeat at the polls yesterday.

The basis for this contention is that the director, Horace W. Rob inson, not only selected the play in question and chose the cast, but also designed the sets and con structed and designed the costumes for the production. Not to mention the bit he wrote and added to the play. Robinson came to the University from the universities of Oklahoma City and Iowa where he did out standing work, both as an actor and a& a director. He was leading man last season for the Russian Village Players, a professional company, and has written several one-act plays which have been published. His work during his first year on this campus has been confined to the technical side and he has ■ already achieved notable success in the realms of setting-design and lighting fdt “Gods of the Moun tain,” and “Cradle Song.” “The Chief Thing” will present Robin soh for the first time as director of rehearsal as well as designer and technician. The players for “The Chief Thing,” whom Robinson considers make up one of the most difficult casts he has ever worked with, are as follows: Paraclete, Ted Karafotias; Lady with a Dog, Dorothy Parks; Re tired Government Clerk, Boyd Jackson; a Dancer, Gertrude Win slow; an actor who plays the lover, Neville Biden; landlady .Ellen Ga ley; a stenographer, Barbara Reed; a student, William Doughtery; the (Continued on Page Tzvn) Bryson to Give Talk, Conduct Voice Clinic Roy Bryson, voice instructor at the school of music, will make a trip to Portland this weekend, where he will give a talk before the last meeting of the State Voice Teachers’ association. He will also conduct a voice clinic Saturday, using as his topic, “Class Instruction.” The group of teachers has been meeting through out the winter and spring. Kappa Koifee, Midnight Show Listed for Day Swimming Party Slated For Senior Leap Week MOVIE IS LAUGH RIOT Abbreviated Skirts .Extra Foliage On Millraee Typify ‘Good Old Days The Kappa Koffee and the “mid night mat” of “Ed's Co-ed” and “I’ll Tell the World" are the two big events of Senior Leap Week scheduled for today. There may be a swimming party for senior men and women at the Alpha Phi house this afternoon—if the weather per mits. The Kappa Koffee, annual affair given by Kappa Kappa Gamma, will be on from 8:30 to 11 tonight, with Sherwood Burr’s orchestra playing. Phoebe Greenman, chair man, promises that it will be a gay party. All seniors and their dates are invited. A laugh riot is expected at 11 o’clock, when the seniors and their friends go to the Colonial theater for the big special show planned in their honor. A few of them will recognize friends or acquaintances who were here when they were freshmen, and it should make them feel either very young or very old —depending on whether they are clothes-minded or not. The campus hasn't changed. Even the old 13th street bus is the same. Some fol iage is gone from the millraee now, and several inches have been added to skirts, but it’s the University of Oregon still. Huge playing cards decorated the walls ot the Delta Gamma house at the annual Delta Gamble yesterday afternoon. JHendricks Hall’s Farewell Folly took the form of a “barroom bust," with punch served in beer mugs from realistic kegs over a real bar. Paintings inspired by pre-prohibition saloon decorations hung on the walls. Senior Leap Week will end to morrow night with the Mortar Board ball. Stafford, Taylor Address Science Group Conclave Results of Experiments in Aptitude Tests arid ‘Heavy Water’ Told By Professors Discussions of experiments now being carried on at the University featured the meeting of Sigma Xi, science honorary, in Deady hall last night. O. F. Stafford, science professor, presented a talk on the latest dis coveries in connection with “heavy water.” The speaker, who recently gained nation-wide prominence with his work in this field, stated that the kinds of water have been increased 18 times by the discov ery of different varieties of oxygen and hydrogen. “The implications, both in the practical and theoreti cal realm of science, brought on by these discoveries, are tremen dous,” he asserted. Howard Taylor, professor of psychology, presented a paper on the results of the ACE aptitude tests given to entering students. These tests were again given to a group of students after the initial examination, and after that, at varying intervals. From the re sults obtained, Taylor averred that (Continued on Paqe Two) f Orders Are OrdersClaims News Reporter on Bad Beat By HOWARD KESSLER Stories are born, not made. Tell that to a news editor and see what you get. These news editors are all alike. They think that with in genuity and a little imagination reporters can write stories like they were ripe apples falling off trees and giving a punk by the name of Newton screwy ideas about how music should be played. To get a story, something must happen, and if you don’t get a story, something will happen, only you won’t be there to get it. So what is a guy to do? “Go out and bite a dog or some thing,” Polivka says to us, “only come back with a story.” Taking him literally we shuffle out, and opportunity practically knocks us down in the form of innocent little Bruno Hug, him that never done nobody wrong. But orders are or ders and we have just cut ourself off a dainty morsel when a couple of S.P.C.A. storm troopers breeze by and take us in hand. We are being escorted very un willingly to the police station when one of the suffragettes lets out a whoop and pounds across the street to where some smoke is coming out of a house, which is something unusual, because this smoke is not coming out vof the chimney, where it had ought to, but from the win dows.

Berg, LaBarre, Miller, Win for Bauer’s Ticket Archbold and Bendstrup Coed Victors VOTING IS ORDERLY Renner’s Margin Is Smallest for Student. Body Selections; Jukes Represented Joe Renner was elected student body president for 1934-5 by a ma jority of 25 votes in the A. S. U. O. election yesterday, receiving 473 votes to Malcolm Bauer's 448. Other candidates elected were: vice-president, Bill Berg; secretary, Nancy Archbold; executive man. Bob Miller; senior woman, Eliza beth Bendstrup; junior man, Cos grove LaBarre. Miss Archbold and Miss Bendstrup ran on Renner's ticket, while Berg, Miller, and La Barre were listed among Bauer'3 running mates. Great interest in the campaign was shown by the fact that of 1025 students having A. S. U. O. cards, 923 called at the polls to vote. Tongue Satisfied Comment on the orderliness which prevaileld at the balloting place war. made by Tom Tongue, president of the student body. The number of ballots cast, Tongue said, came within one ballot of checking with the number of per sons checked off the polling list. The only possible chance for er ror to creep in, Tongue declared, was in the fact that the polling list, which had been made up early in the term, did not include the names of all students who had pur chased A. S. U. O. memberships later. Consequently about 60 per sons appeared at the polls who had student body cards, but whose names did not appear on the list. Margin Small Names of these persons were ta ken and the ballots given them were marked, so that a thorough checkup on their eligibility to vote will be made. Tongue said he was confident no fraud would be shown.

NEWTON A near-capacity crowd appeared at the music auditorium last night to attest to the popularity of Jane Thacher’s piano music. And they left undoubtedly eager to hear her again soon. It has been said, and probably truthfully, that there are few wom an pianists in the country whose technical power would rival hers. The tone which she produces is little short of amazing, not only in the light of her being a woman, but also considering that she :s a small woman. Perhaps the most stirring num ber on the program, and the one which produced the most definite effect upon the listeners was the funeral march movement of Cho pin’s B-flat minor sonata. Thi3 excerpt, with its associations, as well as the delicate and tender legend which goes with it, was accepted with eloquent silence. A few, it was to be observed, were moved to.tears. Mrs. Thacher, sensing that ap plause would interrupt this splen did effect, moved without pause into the fourth movement of the sonata, the presto finale. A lighter number in which a more nimble aspect of Mrs. Tha cher's technique was demonstrated was the Capriccio in B-minor, by Brahms. And two others which illustrated both aspects of this versatile tech nique were the last number on the program, a Waltz in E by Mosz kowski, and the encore following it, a Viennese Waltz by Friedman. Into these two waltzes Mrs. Thacher injected youthful vitality remindful of a presentation ’ of Weber’s “Invitation to the Waltz” by Rachmaninoff the last time he appeared in "Portland. And to compare, even in the slightest degree, with the ever startling Rachmaninoff," is a goal towards which many musicians as pire.
