Sophomores Announce Opposing Tickets For Offices Secrecy Rule Held Junior, Freshman Plans, Candidates Unknown By Wayne Harbert Class political whisperings, shrouded in the darkest possible secrecy, ran back and forth across the campus yesterday and last night, with no definite conclusions made with the possible exception of the sophomore class which seems to have its ticket definitely outlined with its candidates for next year's officers. Meetings of various factions, dealing with promises and elabor ate plans for the nominations to be made at class meetings slated for tonight, were held in several living organizations last night but the results of these meetings were all kept secret. Sophomore's Tickets Up Craig Finley heads one of the sophomore tickets with Peggy Carper running as vice-president, Marjor Kissling as secretary, and John Allen as treasurer. Heading the other sophomore ticket is Kenneth BeLieu for presi dent, with Carmen Curry, vice president; Grace Peck, secretary; and David Crosse, treasurer. Frosh Ticket Unknown The freshman class seemed to be greatly confused last night as to any definite candidates to run for next year’3 sophomore offices, although political observers said a ticket headed by Lyle Baker had obtained considerable backing, but those running on this ticket and the houses backing it were not dis closed. Campus Leaders Debate on Fees The optional fees controversy will go on the air tonight when Joseph Renner and S. Eugene Al len meet on KORE at 8 o’clock to debate the question; “ResolveB,-| that senate bill 204 be referred to the people.” The debate will differ from that held on the campus in that the question will deal with the advisa bility of resorting to the referen dum rather than the basic merit of optional or compulsory fees. Many persons favoring optional fees have criticized the student referendum as “dragging educa tion into politics.” Allen will speak first in tonight's debate. Renner will follow. Con structive speeches are of 10 min ute duration and the rebuttals, five minutes. Allen, as organization chairman of the student relief committee, has been active in the referendum drive. Renner, presi dent of the ASUO, has vigorously favored a return to the compulsory fee status and recently led a team that participated in a campus de bate on the fee question.

Semi-Formals Will Be Seen At Frosh Glee Skull and Dagger to Tap Prominent Freshmen During Dance Motif Not to Re Revealed Until Saturday Committee chairmen of the Frosh Glee, which will be held next Saturday evening at McArthur court, aid Tuesday that they had made plans which they feel certain will more than uphold the “Frosh Glee reputation” as one of the best all-campus dances held during the school year. The motif of the dance will not be previously announced, but something unusual and strikingly different is promised. This is the i first big event sponsored by the ! class of '38 and they are determ ined that it shall be a huge suc cess. the co-chairmen. Lyle Baker and Louis Hillis both agree. Skull and Dagger, sophomore men's honorary, will select mem bers from the freshman class at the Frosh Glee to join its ranks next year. The dance, contrary to the Frosh Glees of former years, was an nounced as semi-formal. This will mean that there will be flowry chiffons and voils swirling around many a slim ankle above silver slippers that will be “tripping the light fantastic” to the alternating dreamy strains and rapid rhythms of Jimmy Dierickx’s orchestra from Corvallis. Novelty features and arrange ments will be presented by Dier ickx’s band which has been dated for next Saturday night. Tickets are on sale at the men's living organizations for $1 a couple. Any freshmen with class member ship cards will be admitted free, and money will be refunded at the door on tickets purchased for the full price if one of the couple is a freshman class member. The contest between the living organizations has begun. Prizes are being awarded the sorority and fraternity house with the largest percentage representation at the dance.

Further interviews with candidates for Emerald edi tor will be held by the publica tions committee before recom mending one man to the executive I body for final approval. Applicants Unapproved Neither Sam Rikman, freshman in science, nor Lester Miller, fresh man in business administration, who were the only two candidates to file for Oregana business mana ger, met with the approval of the executive council.

Succeeding Grant Thuemmel, who finishes his second year as (Continued cut Pat/e Sir) Landsbury, Petri Acclaim Beauty Of Oratorio fElijah’ The presentation of the oratorio, “Elijah,” on Easter Sunday, April 21, at 3 o’clock in the music audi torium will be the most outstand ing musical event in many years for the University school of mu sic, it was declared yesterday by Dr. John J. Landsbury, dean of the school. First of all, the oratorio “Eli jah” is one of the most beautiful and at the same time dramatic of all m.usical compositions, and it takes place with the oratorios of Bach and Handel. Felix Mendels sohn spent nine years composing il, and at its first performance in Birmingham, England, he received the greatest ovation of his career. Graduate Has Lead The presentation of Eugene Pearson, baritone, in the title role of the oratorio is in itself an event of major importance, it is pointed out. Mr. Pearson, a graduate of the University, has by sheer ability achieved a top position in music on the Pacific coast. Since leaving the University he has become the leading baritone of the American Grand Opera com pany of Los Angeles; took the leading role of “Josenh” in the opera “The Bells of Bethlehem,” which was presented 10 times in the Angeles temple; has been solo ist for numerous oratorios and op eras, and has been enthusiastically received at a large number of re citals. He now lives in Los An geles and is coming here especial ly for this event. The oratorio will climax the year for more than 150 University students who are members of the polyphonic choir and the Univer sity orchestra. Paul Petri, head of voice for the school of music, will conduct the presentation. Soloists who will take leading parts in clude Robin LeVee, soprano; Cath erine Coshow Wheeler, soprano; Loviss Youngs, contralto, and Charles Joseph Fahey, tenor. Petri Is Enthusiastic Mr. Petri, who has won an en viable reputation as a conductor of oratorios, is particularly enthusias tic over “Elijah.” Describing the Mendelssohn masterpiece, he says, "The oratorio opens in a rather conventional manner with a state ment by the baritone who sings the part of ‘Elijah,’ around which the whole oratorio is built. In this Elijah declaims: ‘As God the Lord of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but accord ing to my word.’ This is followed I hen by the overture. “The numbers constituting the oratorio itself are divided among solos, duets, quartets and choruses of varying moods, outstanding among them being the duet of Eli jah and the widow. The dramatic aria by Elijah ‘Is not His word like a fire . . . ’ and again his aria in the second part, ‘It is Enuogh’ are outstanding in their dramatic force and beauty. Chorus Numbers Dramatic “The tenor has opportunities in ; the first part with the recitative and aria 'If with all your hearts ye truly seek me ... ' and then in the second part, ‘Then shall the righteous shine forth . . . ’ The beautiful solo: ‘O Rest in the Lord,’ which is possibly the most familiar excerpt from this ora torio, is sung by the contralto, who also sings ‘Woe Unto Them Who Forsake Him' in the first part. “The second part is opened by the very dramatic aria sung by the soprano, ‘Hear Ye, Israel,’ and it is one of the loveliest numbers. I Another very beautiful one is the trio sung by women’s voices, en titled, ‘Lift Thine Eyes.’ Some of ; the chorus numbers are of great! dramatic beauty, particularly the ending chorus of the first part, j ‘Thanks Be to God,’ and the final chorus, ‘Lord, Our Creator, How , Excellent Thy Name Is.’ The dou- ; [ (Please turn to page two) Meet Oregon’s New Coach Howard Hobson, above, who was yesterday appointed varsity bas ketball and baseball coach at the University by the executive council. At present Hobson is athletic director of Southern Oregon Normal school. He will begin his duties here next fall as successor to William J. Reinhart, who has accepted a similar position at George Washington university. Traditions Group Summons IJnruly To Library Steps Dire Punishment Awaits Failure to Appear The members of the traditions committee requested last night that the following students should appear on the library steps today at 12:40: Eugene Lincoln Junior Porter Howard Ohmart Andrew Bogdanovich. Both Lincoln and Porter were summoned to appear last week for punishment for violating the tra dition prohibiting smoking on the campus. They failed to appear! Today is the last day for them to appear before the council. It is warned that unless they report to day at the scheduled time things will go rather severe with them when they are finally apprehended. Ohmart has been accused of smoking on the sacred premises of the campus, while Bogdanovich has been seen wearing the tradi tional cords of the upperclassmen. Last week, Robert Williamson was cited to appear to receive his ouota of hacks for wearing cords, but upon investigation it has been proven by the traditions committee that he has not been guilty of wearing this type of clothing this term. Therefore, his case will be dropped. Gieseke, LaBarre Run For Offices in YMCA Nominees for position in the YMCA cabinet to be voted upon Wednesday, April 24, were an nounced last night. The YMCA hut will be the polling place and polls will be open from 12 noon un til 1:30. Nominees are Fred Giesecke, president; Cosgrove LaBarre, vice president; Edward Hanson, and Charles Paddock, secretary; and Brittain Ash, treasurer. Blais, Esteb End Drive for AST JO James Blais and Virgil Esteb, co-chairmen for the spring term ASUO membership drive, said last night that they were well pleased with the increase in student body members from a little over 700 to 1065 during the campaign which closed last night. Since registration day, the ASUO has waged an intensive campaign to increase its registra tion to a point which would insure spring term extra-curricular activ ities. Such methods as posters, the wearing of yellow membership cards, the painting of windshields, and special editions of the Emerald have been used in an attempt to convince students of the benefits derived from membership in the student organization. The co-chaimen stated also that they expected the membership to reach 1100 students, caused prin cipally by the interest aroused by political campaigns for student body office. Selection Begins For Junior Queen The campus will today choose ten junior girls for nominees for position as Queen of Junior week end. Balloting will be held at the College Side from 9 til 5. A pa rade featuring the ten chosen will be staged Monday at 12:30 pre paratory to the final vote to be taken Tuesday. Only holders of ASUO cards will be privileged to vote Tuesday, anyone may vote today for the nominees. bailey to McMinnville McMinnville, April n. — (AP) Orville (Red) Bailey, for mer University of Oregon football star, today accepted appointment as athletic coach at McMinnville high school, succeeding George (Stub) Allison who recently re signed to become 6oach at Baker high school. Bailey now is at Dal las high school. John Warren of Astoria To Coach Freshman Sports Next Year Mentors Acclaimed Former Webfoot Athletes Fill Places in Fall By Clair Johnson Ending weeks of guessing by Oregon sport fans the executive council of the associated students last night announced the appoint ment of Howard Hobson, athletic director at Southern Oregon Nor mal school, as varsity basketball and baseball coach, and John War ren, coach at Astoria high school, as freshman sport coach. Selection of Hobson as a suc cessor to William J. (Bill) Rein hart, who has directed Oregon teams for the past 12 years, did not strike as too much of a sur prise to close followers of the sit uation. Hobson Was Favored Rail-bird experts have been hail ing the S.O.N. mentor as the lead ing candidate for the position since Reinhart announced his resigna tion March 18 to accept his new post at George Washington uni versity. Warren will step into the berth left vacant three years ago when Prince G. (Prink) Callison wa3 promoted to head football coach. Since that time the yearling foot ball, basketball, and baseball teams have been directed by var sity coaches out of their seasons, and by volunteer and student men tors. Move Is Surprise The early announcement, which came following long sessions of the athletic and executive councils yesterday, was rather surprising to many who thought the positions would be held open for some time yet, as was the move to build up the athletic staff with Warren’s addition. Following the recent student body fee difficulties the associated students faced after the start of spring term many doubted wheth er the expanding move would be possible because of a shortage of finances. Both Are Ex-Ducks Although making no announce ments that this influenced their vote, the executive council appar ently favored Oregon graduates in their selection, as both men are ex Webfoot athletic stars. Many out of-state men were included among the applicants. Hugh Rosson, graduate mana ger, representing the student body, (Continued on Pac/c Six) Evans Stales Choir’s Work Of High Order This evening, at 8:15, the Wom en’s Choral club of Eugene, under John Stark Evans, conductor, will appear in its Initial concert In the music building.
