the constitution. The other mem

Band Lineup Includes
Many Star Musicians
By FULTON H. TRAVIS
The most powerful, most versa
tile, and most accomplished band
in the history of the University!
In the days of Barnum words were
used like that and people believed
them but Barnum unfortunately,
is dead and the world moves on.
But when John H. Stehn, who,
on occasion classifies the perform
ance, the spirit and the individuals
all under the one succulently des
criptive word, “Lousy!”, says that
the University has the most cap
able band in its history, it means
something.
At the Multnomah stadium last
Saturday, the University band,
despite the rain, put on an exhi
bition of playing which ranked
with that of any band of college
caliber. Yells, hand-clapping and
even the “Associated” loud-speak
er system failed to down them and
through the din their notes came
clear, precise and with perfect har
mony.
Seven Champions
The reason for this outstanding
performance can be brought down
to facts and figured — proven.
There are seven state band contest
champions in the band. They are:
Earl Scott, cornet, 1932; Billy Cur
ry, French horn. 1935; John Mil
ler. French horn, 1934; Vinton Sny
der, trombone, 1933 first place and
1935 second place; Bob Keefe, tu
ba, 1933; Wendel Gilfry, tuba,
1934; Wayne Gilfry, baritone,
1933 and Charlotte Plummer, sec
ond place clarinet, 1935.
In addition to these amateur
winners, many of whom have
made names for themselves in pro
fessional music both in the legitil
mate field and the popular, are 17
professional players who are mak
ing their way through school with
their musical ability.
There is not a trumpet player in
the band who has not held the
lead-solo chair in his high school.
And in addition there are many
musicians in the organization who
have been student directors of
prep-school bands.
It has been proven that practi
cally any man in the band, playing
a so-called “sub-position”—actual
ly the place where harmony is
made—is capable of taking the
solo chair in his section and mak
ing good.
Preparations on
Preparations are now under way
for the coming winter concert sea
son when the band will appear in
one or two public performances,
presenting classical, popular and
standard musical selections as well

Steel Tower
Pours Cement
120-Foot Structure
Puzzles Students
For the purpose of informing
the puzzled uninformed, the gaunt,
tower-like structure overlooking
the new library-to-be is a patented
device for pouring cement into
various sections of the building.
It stretches to the vast height of
120 feet, composed entirely of six
foot lengths of steel, and is bal
anced by guywires fastened to
“deadmen.”
Height Sufficient
Mr. Reynolds, clerk of construc
tion work, feels that the height
of the scaffold is sufficient to
reach any part of the library up
to the time of its completion.
The mechanism of the hoist, as
explained by Mr. Reynolds, is run
by a "donkey” engine, electrically
operated. This engine raises and
lowers the skip, which is the ce
ment carrier.
Capacity Measured
The materials for the cement are
measured automatically from bins
and bankers and separate water
tank. The capacity of the mixer
is measured, and, when mixed a
certain length of time, is spilled
into the "skip” which is hoisted
on the tower. There are canti
levered derricks to receive the
mixed cement from the skip into
spouts, and the cement can there
by be directed into any part of the
construction.
Journal Reviews
Book by Leighton
“Studies of Laboratory Meth
ods,” a book by Dr. R. W. Leigh
ton, professor of education, was

of Oregon, for the purpose of se
lecting methods of teaching which

The review is by Ben D. Wood,

Col. Leader Interviewed
On International Affairs
By HENRIETTE HORAK
Dreamers dream dreams of trav
el and life in far off lands of the
color and drama, and sometimes
secrecy, danger, and intrigue
which accompany British army life
and "secret agent" work, but Col.
John Leader has lived such dreams.
To him the world is an easy inter
national alphabet of nations. He
is at home with China, Arabia,
Mongolia, India, and intimate with
other world powers.
The University of Oregon claims
this charming paragon of wisdom,
as a former faculty member, for
in 1917, Col. Leader came here
from the British war office to help
organize an Oregon student body,
which at that time was filled with
a military "bug,” that our govern
ment was not prepared to handle.
On his first visit to the campus
after an absence of 12 years, rug
ged English caned and monocled
Col. Leader, who gives the appear
ance of being built of hand
wrought steel, finds the campus
increased in beauty—“especially
your coeds,” he remarked in an
interview at his hotel yesterday.
Of the countries of the world,
artd the present national and in
ternational chaotic situation, Col.
Leader had much to say.
What of Ethiopia, Mussolini,
Italy, and the League of Na
tions? “Ethiopia is not a nation,
but a muddle of warring tribes,’’
Col. Leader explained; “tribes
which have been conquered by cul
tured Haile Selasse. As for Italy,
she must expand; no nation can be
stopped in its march for expansion.
Italy has as much right to the
country she is bound to conquer
as does Haile Selasse.
"The League of Nations is noth
ing but a sophisticated joke, and
it’s attempted sanctions against
Italy are even a bigger joke, for
Italy can get her necessities of
war elsewhere. The league has no
armed force, and without it she can
do nothing. Besides, the League
of Nations is synonymous with
the British empire, practically.”
If Italy is checked in her at
tempt in Ethiopia? “Look for a
’red’ revolt in France, and in Eng
land, Col. Leader predicted. “Also
look that your walls of America
be strong, or else—!”
Future imperialistic expansion
of nations ? "As long as the world
continues, it is inevitable. In years
to come,” Col. Leader remarked,
"I venture to predict that the
Americas, from Alaska to Pata
gonia will be under your stars and
stripes; Europe will probably be
