AWS Rooms In Gerlinger Will Open Tomorrow All Women Students Urged to Attend Meeting on Third Floor at 4 o’Clock Tomorrow afternoon will find Oregon women at last coming into their own with the re-opening of the AVVS rooms in Gerlinger at 4 o'clock. All women students arc urged to attend the meeting on the third floor of Gerlinger hall in the rooms which actually belong to them, taut which they have used little since Gerlinger was first opened. Furnished by Women’s League The rooms were originally dec orated and furnished by the Women’s league, which was the predecessor of the present AWS. A few years later, when a resting place was needed for the Murray Warner art collection then being given to the University, these rooms were chosen and therefore dismantled. Mrs. Edgar DeCou, who was dean of women at the time Ger linger was opened in 1921, is anxious to see the building begin to serve its real purpose more fully as a social center. "I am eager to sec the spirit of hospitality and genuine social intercourse recap tured,” said Mrs. DeCou. The true aim of this hall is found in the pamphlet put out at the time of its dedication. At that time the war was still a vivid memory and Gerlinger was to be “what the cantonment was to the soldiers, what Hull House was to Chicago, and what a community hall is to any group of people.” It was the place where the old grads could go and find old acquaintances and have a fireside of their own. It was for this reason that the large lounge on the second floor was called alumni hall. Mrs. Gerlinger Sends Kegrets Mrs. George Gerlinger, though unable to be here tomorrow, sends her regrets and is giving a framed picture of the old women’s gym nasium for use in refurnishing the rooms, Mrs. Gerlinger will be rep resented by Mrs. Edgar DeCou at the meeting. Ann Baum '31, an ex-president of the AWS, now an executive at Lipmon Wolfe department store, will talk to the group on the part women play in the field of mer chandising, advertising, and fash ion. Elizabeth Turner will be in charge of refreshments and Kath leen Duffy will supervise the dec oration. All past presidents and honorary members are being invited. Arne Rae Returns From Conference Arno C. Rae, associate professor of journalism, returned Sunday evening from San Francisco where he attended a meeting of news pa per publishers, advertisin'; agents, and special newspaper rep resentatives. The purpose of the conference was to correct rate differential problems. Approximately 250 per sons attended the main luncheon and assembly held at the Palace hotel. Mr. Rae, as manager of the Ore gon State Editorial association, was one of 20 appointed to repre sent each of the state association of publishers, advertising agencies, and special representative organi zations. Preliminary reports were drafted, and according to Mr. Rae another meeting may be held in 00 days.

And they sing tonight.—(Courtesy Register-Guard.) University Band Will Present "Fugue Giogosn” Among the highly interesting se lections to be presented by the University of Oregon concert band the latter part of this term, is a fugue most high-toned of the sa cred music bulls written by John K. Payne, entitled: "Fugue Gio gosa.” The number calls for the maxi mum of performance from all sec tions of the hand. John H. Stehn, conductor, has written the band arrangement of the fugue and it's theme is drawn from an era in popular music not long dead. Jf one listens to the selection ! wit h the air of a connoisseur of ! good music; if he has somehow mixed his program notes, he will doubtless go away with an exalted l feeling in the pit of his stomach ( which, as heart-burn indicates im proper feeding, to the epicurean music listener represents the af ter-taste of good music. But if, as a mere student even as a moron ho cfoes his best to un . tangle the chorded horrors of clas j sical music and recognizes the t heme as only that phrasing which j “is played over and over," he will realize that the motif for the fugue, in spite of its high-toned construc tion is none other than his old j friend "Over the Fence Is Out!" j - Lot Ivors Installed In IVlusir Itiiililin^ A large new locker-cabinet is being installed on the second floor of the music btdlding to accomo date students who wish to store their instruments in the building. The cabinet sections are large enough to accomodate a viola and each has a separate door which can j be locked. This latest addition will do much to alleviate the condition which ha: existed in the past, since neitliei adequate nor strictly safe storage I places were available for the large [number of instruments left in the J building every night. — YWCA Discusses Reorganization Reorganization of Oregon’; YWCA aims and ideals to con form with the principal plans anc group heads of the national organ ization was discussed last night bj YWCA cabinet members at theii bi-monthly meeting in the bunga low from 8 to 9 o’clock. The possibility of getting all o: the YW cabinet to Seabeck, and £ renovation of group heads from ar activity group to national pro gram awareness, spurred the grout on in their first attempt to deci pher what the YWCA really stands for. New forms of publicity to ac quaint people with the purpose ol the Y were studied. A commot purpose, friendship, and better un derstanding bound the cabinet anc strengthened their determinatior to group under four main heads a; does the regional program: family and personal relationships, rein terpretation of religion, world co operation, and public affairs. Mil Phi Epsilon Presents Organist Mu Phi Epsilon is presenting E Power Biggs, a famous English man and American organist, in i pipe-organ concert at the schoo of music on February 20 in the school of music auditorium. Biggs comes to the University highly recommended, with the rep utation of being one of the fines: organists either in Europe oi America, and it is expected tha his performance will be highly in teresting to the majority of th< I students, both because of his higl : reputation and because of the fac that few competent organists an available to the school. Aurora Potter Underwood of thi school of music faculty said tha this will in all probability be tin only organ concert offered to Uni versity students during the year | General admission to the concer : will be 50 cents, with a specia I price for students of 35 cents. Soviet’s New Lieutenant Is a Woman Soviet women at last have invaded almost the last stronghold a masculine domination—the army. Nine Isayeva has been conuulsslone a lieutenant in the Hod machine gun corps and has proved hersel adept at army procedure and duties. Here site is shown (left) instruct iug two male soldiers in the mysteries of the machine Run, Director Robinson Casts Henderson in 'Lippo’ Role When Director Horace W. Rob inson was casting the role of Fil lipo Fiorentine in the forthcoming University theatre production of “Street Scene,” he hardly hoped he would find an actor who could fill the part of the jovial Italian satis factorily in an acting capacity, not to mention the fact that the char acter called for someone who could sing as well. Mr. Robinson expe rienced a pleasant surprise in the person of Robert Henderson. During a scene in which the kind - hearted “Lippo,” as his . friends call him, is recklessly pass ing around ice cream cones to his neighbors who are sweltering ir New York's summer heat, he is supposed to burst into a song ol an operatic nature. As the director was wondering how he was going to “bridge” ovei this spot, as the actor would not be able to sing an operatic aria or even anything approaching one unassuming Henderson swung eas ilv into Verdi's famous “Da Donna e Mobile.” Mr. Robinson and the members of the cast sat open mouthed while Henderson’s rich voice filled the Guild hall audito rium. Lippo, being just Lippo, would n’t let the fact that “La Donna e Mobile” was originally for a tenor and that he is a baritone, inter fere with his singing the number, so Mr. Robinson has placed the song as a high spot in the scene. Henderson, already an actor of great promise, will no doubt add much to his credit because of his thorough and skillful interpreta tion of the singing Lippo. Ticket sale for “Street Scene,” which will be presented February 7, 8, and 10 at the University thea tre, was well under way Monday. I The box office at 104 Johnson will I be open from 9 to 5 every day this week and until curtain time or Friday, Saturday, and Monday evenings. All seats are priced at 35 cents and may be reserved by calling 3300, local 216. For the convenience of town patrons tick ets are also on sale at McMorran '■ & Washburne’s and the Co-op |store. German Conversation Classes Are Offered A German conversational class for beginners will be organized by Carl-Gustav Anthon, who lived in Germany for 15 years and returned to the United States six months ago. The class will meet for the first time on Saturday evening from 8 to 9 p. m. at the home of Betty Hughes and Miss Dorothy Nyland, : 013 Bast Elevxenth street. Anyone who is interested in I learning the German language in a lively atmosphere with an elim | ination of grammar routine as far j as possible is welcome. The class will meet every Satur day night. Fee Situation (Continued from />n.</<’ one) eter said that the condition result ing from the defeat of the fee bill will result in a "tangled, chaotic mess." Members of the Barometer staff said that because of the strong support of the measure in Benton county that plans for an other compulsory fee campaign will be made. Jack Graham, president of the student body, said. "The attempt to gain an assured reliable activity program will go on." "I don’t know how it will come out,” said Hugh E. Kosson, grad- j uate manager, "but I do know that we can't go on blindly trusting the I optional fee will give us the same j program that was carried on under compulsory fees. Keserves l sod This Year edness he refers to is to the Alum ni Holding association—this is the only indebtedness of the ASUO outside of current payables.” Rosson is now busy compiling figures and budgets to present to the finance committee. These re ports will show the committee what will be needed as a minimum for operation under any of several plans that have been or may be proposed. Rosson said the prospect for the coming year was far from bright, that costs apparently would be more than the income that reason ably could be expected under the optional fee plan.

University High To Present Opera According to Anne Landsbury Beck, director of public school music in Eugene and an active member of the music faculty, the cast has been chosen for "Princess Ida,” a light opera by Gilbert and Sullivan, which will be presented by the students of University high school. The preesntation is to be on a grand scale. An unusually com plete set of costumes has been arranged for. The members of the cast are all students who have had a considerable amount of previous training under Mrs. Beck, and she feels certain that the opera will be of interest to many students at the University. Some of the leading characters in the opera will be King Hilde brand, Eldon Platt, tenor; Prince Hilarion, George Craig, tenor; Princess Ida, Dorothy Denslow, soprano; King Gama, Ted Smith, baritone. Other characters appear ing will be announced at a later dates. Mrs. Beck is urging all students who intend to teach in Oregon high schools to attend the production because' music is often suddenly thrust uopn them as a teaching subject, and some slight under standing of the business of direct ing and conducting is valuable. Although nothing definite has been arranged, it is hoped that some arrangement can be made tc make the opera available to all members of the ASUO.

Mol Goes East For Conference Will Confer With Ivor A. Richards, English Authority, On Prose and Poetry E. G. Moll, associate professor of English, has received a request from the education board of the Rockefeller foundation to confer with Ivor A. Richards, noted Eng lish authority on literature, in New York City March 16, on a volume, "Appreciation of Prose,” it was announced here yesterday. Mr. Richards’ book is the result of extensive research in this field, and Professor Moll has been se lected to aid him because of ex perience gained in supervising the literary division of the recent re search project here on apprecia tion of art. To Write Companion Volume Professor Moll has also written a book, “Appreciation of Poetry,” and Mr. Richard's work is expected to be a companion volume on prose. Both men have made an en tirely new approach to apprecia tion, it is declared, and their work has attracted the attention of lit erary educators and others inter ested in this and other countries. The new method of teaching ap preciation both in prose and poetry departs utterly from the old way of attempting to make students merely remember what they have read. Student Interest Sought Instead they seek to interest the student in the imagery, life, move ment, and form that the authors seek to bring out in their works. The new technique attempts to bring the students to an interpre tation in living experience. The experimental work done by Mr. Richards in England has been largely financed by the Rockefel ler foundation, while that under taken at Oregon has been backed and financed by the Carnegie cor poration. Richards Widely Known Mr. Richards, a fellow of Mag dalene college, Oxford, since 1926, is widely known in England as a writer and critic. His volume en titled "Practical Criticism” is re garded as an outstanding work in this field. Professor Moll in addi tion to his book, "Appreciation of Poetry” has also written several volumes of verse, among which are “Sedge Fire,” "Native Moments,” and “Blue Interval,” the latter a collection of poems on Crater lake. Professor Moll will make the trip to New York for the confer ence with Mr. Richards at the ex pense of the Rockefeller founda tion. He will be gone during spring vacation. Miss Smith Takes Job With Eugene Paper Miss Laura Margaret Smith, senior in journalism, has accepted the position of society editor of the Eugene Morning News. She is replacing Miss Helen R. Wadleigh, who resigned to go into the state highway commission at Salem. Miss Smith will continue with her classes at the University. 11 ! “EUGENE’?
