Bane Secured
For Graduation
Speaker Here
Welfare Authority Holds
High Position
STUDIES CHARITIES
Lecturer Spoke on Campus for
Commonwealth Conference
Held in March
Frank Bane, director of the
American Public Welfare associa
tion, for many years prominently
identified with leading1 sociological
and welfare movements in the
United States, wilt deliver the
commencement address for the
University graduating class June
11, it was announced here today
by Karl W. Onthank, dean of per
sonnel administration. As one of
the principal speakers here last
March at the Commonwealth con
ference, he was so well received
that University officials invited
him to return for the graduation
exercises.
Bane is a graduate of Randolph
Macon college and took graduate
work at Columbia university. For
a time he was professor of sociol
ogy at the University of Virginia,
but most of his career has cen
tered about welfare service.
After leaving the University of
Virginia he became secretary of
the state board of charities and
corrections in that state, and later
was administrator of public wel
fare. While serving in this posi
tion, Bane conducted several state
surveys into public welfare and
made a study of the county poor
farms, with the result that a law
was passed which made Virginia
known as a progressive state in
that connection. He also lectured
for a time at William and Mary
college.
The office of director of public
welfare iri Tennessee was next oc
cupied by Bane, and more recently
that of member on President
Roosevelt’s Committee on Unem
ployment. This position brought
hjm in close touch with the ad
ministration in Washington, par
ticularly with relief programs.
He has been closely associated
with Harry Hopkins, director of
relief, and,has thoroughly studied
many phasles of the work now un
der way by the present adminis
tration. He is regarded as one of
the leading authorities in the
country in this field, and in his
address here he is expected to out
line what may be expected in the
future, particularly in the field of
education.
This spring pane came to pre
gon from his headquarters in Chi
cago to conduct a survey here in
state charities and will write the
report on this study while here
in June. The American Public
Welfare association of which he is
director is subsidized by the
Rockefeller Foundation of the
University of Chicago.
“Frank Eane is a delightful pub
lic speaker,” said Philip A. Par
sons, professor of sociology, and
an acquaintance of the welfare
worker. “He has a fund of hu
morous stories, a pronounced
southern dialect, and an entertain
ing way of presenting his speech.”

Yes Indeedy9 Judge Deady
Was Most Imposing Man
By FREDERIC G. DUNN
' Deady Hall’s godfather was a
most imposing personage, some
intimation of which may be gath
ered from the enlarged photograph
hanging in the auditorium of Vil
lard. That grand head with the
wavy hair and beard would have
made Phidias blink if he were not
already too blinded by his Olym
pian. And if, to substantiate that1
head, you can imagine a powerful
frame and towering height, you
will have the Matthew P. Deady
who was first President of the
University’s Board of Regents
from its inception.
My personal knowledge of him
does not extend to his judicial of
fices in Portland. I was never ar
raigned before him,—thank stars!
-—for the very sight of him on the
bench would have been enough to
condemn me, even though inno
cent. I feel sure that no one was
ever fined for contempt of that
court over which Matthew P.
Deady presided. He could have
posed for Osiris sitting in judg
ment over Egypt's dead.
Whenever he made his annual
pilgrimage to Eugene to attend
the meeting cf the Board and, in
cidentally, Commencement exer
cises, I somehow always thought
of the little village girl who mis
took a portly Bishop for the Trin
ity'. We little fellows usually felt
a sort of conviction that we had
made a mistake in not falling on
our tummies, or blowing a fan
fare, followed by the proclamation,
‘His Lordship, Keeper of the Privy
Seal', (and sotto voce to the wide
eyed crowd, ‘Scuttle to cover,
you’).
Lest you should infer that this
is a bit of exaggeration, I have
two anecdotes in corroboration
with which to regale you. As you
climb the steep streets of Seattle
from the R.R. Stations, 'the first
tall structure to face you on the
first terrace is Frye Hotel, whose
Boniface for many years was one
of the rarest of our old-time

correctly, you must know that
there are several variants in the

PULLMAN, May 21.— (Special)
— The invading- University of Ore
gon baseball team managed to eke
out a 9 to 8 victory over Washing
ton State today in a weird mix
ture of fine playing and grade
school errors. The Duclc* win put
the series at one all, and gave
Oregon undisputed possession of
first place.
The Webfoot attack rolled in five
runs in the first inning, materially
helped by three walks and three
errors. Joe Gordon, stocky short
step, poled out a circuit clout, ob
taining out of the two hits.
The Cougars lashed back in the
sixth, when four runs trickled
through the home plate, tying the
score at eight runs each. Rosen
tangle, catcher, hit a double, as did
Newcombe, outfielder, and Phil
Sorboe, shortstop, hit a triple. Ol
lie Arbeibide, first sacker, .batted
in Sorboe. The Ducks’ winning run
came in the ninth, when Koch
walked, and was advanced home
on two sacrifices.
Four pitchers paraded to the
mound for Oregon in the success
ful effort to stem the Cougar tide.
The two teams meet again Tues
day afternoon, in what may be the
deciding game for the champion
ship.

'fenchers of State Hear Addresses
By Authorities in Field;
Social Events Held
Every section of the state was
represented yesterday in the Ore
gon state music teachers1 conven
tion, which will continue through
today in the school of music audi
torium.
The chief events planned for to
day are the business meeting this
morning at 9 o'clock, and a series
of study classes in the afternoon,
including piano, in charge of
Frances J. Melton and Lillian J.
Petri; voice, Paul Petri; and or
chestra, Rex Underwood.
President C. V. Boyer gave the
address of welcome, stressing the
fact that children, if allowed, will
favor the conservative, classical
music, including folksongs, rather
than the “jazz" type of music,
which becomes popular overnight,
and passes away as quickly. “We
must strive to develop the imagi
nation of the child when implant
ing musical appreciation,” stated
Dr. Boyer, “rather than mere sen
timent.”
Another address, given by Mrs.
Anne Landsbury Beck, of the
school of music, featured as the
topic, “Developments in Publiq,
School Music.” The speaker
brought out the fact that talents
in heretofore neglected rural and
sparsely populated communities
could be brought out, citing as an
example, the interest taken in the
recent Lane county rural music
affair, and the quality produced.
Music in a higher phase was
discussed by Dean U. G. Dubach,
dean of men at Oregon State col
lege, the speaker choosing as his
subject, “The Value of Music in
a College Education.” He listed
the values accruing from college
experience as poise, leadership,
and cultural value coming to stu
dents through development of ar
tistic appreciation.
Metropolitan music organiza
tions had a voice in the program,
when Delta M. Spencer, manager
of the Portland symphony orches

Orchestra Today and Tomorrow.”

Phi Mu, Yeomen, Sigma Hall,
and Phi Gamma Delta were an
nounced last night as the finalists
in the Emerald Radio contest by
Walter Swanson, chairman. The
finals, in which each of the four
houses will repeat their original
program, will begin today at 4:30
with the Yeomen making the first
presentation.
The second program will be pre
sented on Wednesday by Sigma
hall, and on Thursday afternoon,
beginning at 4:15 Phi Mu and Phi
Gamma Delta will put on their
programs. •
Phi Mu, the only girls’ house in
competition, will be competing for
the first prize of $50 in cash,
which was presented by several
Eugene merchants, but, if they do
not take first place, they will re
ceive the second prize of a silver
loving cup for the best opposite.
The programs are being judged
using a point system for contin
uity, originality, presentation and
popular appeal. Judges are: Wal
ter Swanson, chairman of the con
test; Naomi Harper, manager of
KORE; Raleigh Wildman, an
nouncer at KORE; Georgfc Callas,
former radio editor; and James
Doyle.
Although minor changes and ad
ditions may be made, the pro
grams must remain basically the
same as when first presented. The
Yeomen program was composed of
a male chorus and accordion solo- -
ist. They carried out an Old Eng
lish ale-house idea. The Phi Mu
program was on the order of an
advice-to-'the-lovelorn column in
which the trials and tribulations of
love-sick adolescence were solved
and answered by song. A variety
of music was offered by Phi Gam
ma Delta. “The Hilltoppers,” a
trio, two soloists, and piano play
ing were all rolled into this musi
cal 15 minutes. Sigma hall pro
duced a program of comedy skits
and gags.
The finals will bring to a close
a four weeks of radio competition
in which 16 of the scheduled 23
living organizations have per
formed, the others having been
automatically eliminated by fail
ing to appear at the studios. On
the whole the contest programs
have been commendable, according
to Swanson, and it is hoped that
the former interest in this type of
competition has been revived.

Varied Program Marks Last
Concert of Music Convention
By J. A. NEWTON
The closing program of the con
vention of the Oregon State Teach
ers’ association, given last night in
the Music auditorium, covered such
a wide range of music that an ap
propriate beginning is difficult to
find.
The highlight of the program
was, without question, the appear
ance of Frances Brockman, student
violinist, who presented the Tschal
kowsky Concerto for violin and ar
chestra. She gave this same num
ber during one of the winter term
concerts of the University sym
phony.
Comment is, of course, practi
cally unnecessary in the face of
Miss Brockman’s musicianship.
Technical errors, yes; a few small
ones, perhaps, but half as many as
one has a right to expect. It is to
be remembered that this Is one of
the most difficult concertos for the
violin, and further, that the great
master, Auer, to whom the work
was dedicated, would not attempt
it, calling it too difficult.
Of the rest of the program the
most pleasing was the vocal music
of the combined group composed
of the University polyphonic choir,
and the Oregon State college cho
rus. The numbers which the group
sang have been given before but
have not lost their spontaineity.
The excellent direction of Paid
Petri is undoubtedly the reason for
this. Petri has trained every mem
ber of both groups to give him un
divided attention. Thus we hear
Petri’s interpretation rather than
the combined interpretations of the
members of the chorus.
"Hospodi Pomilui,” the number •
which uses only these words
throughout, never falls to be effect
ive. The Czechoslovakian Dance
Song, under Petri’3 baton, has a
gaiety and light-hearted air which
easily is carried over to the lis
tener. Such, we believe, is the tra
dition of real music.
Two other interesting numbers
were “The Duel,” the story of the
gingham dog and the calico cat;
