A Higher Claim to Fame
r|~'IIE fame of Roland Hayes ns a singer is
lint by any means one of relative degree,
as those well-meaning blit mistaken critics
imply, who find the artist's most remarkable
attribute in the fact that he lias risen from
bumble negro talk and climbed across race
barriers to renown.
Roland Ilayes is not the curio, the mere
overcomer of handicap—the armless man who
writes with his toes, lie is not the sort, of
marvel of whom they say with lofty mag
nanimity, “Yes, he’s wonderful, considering
his handicap.” Not that sort at all.
# # *
^JERTAINHY it is wonderful that Roland
Hayes should have climbed over the har
riers that society unfortunately plaees in the
paths of his race. Hut his fame is of a higher,
more universal sort—the kind of fame that
comes to 1 he superb artist. His renown is
the recognition of genius, and for men of
genius there is no race. They belong to the
world.
Sunday will be the great, tenor’s third ap
pearance on the campus. lie is a singer of
whom Eugene and University music lovers
never tire. In fact his two previous appear
ances were almost endurance contests for
him, so many times was he encored after he
had sung through the selections on his pro
gram.
Undoubtedly it will be like that, Sunday,
with an audience of hundreds insatiable for
his music. And he will sing gracious encores
because he loves to stir people and make them
happy with his singing.
Skeletons In the Grid Closet
A^LBANY college lias a problem.
A small school in a comparatively large
athletic conference, the northwest round
robin, Albany bus been attempting to solve
the problem of scholarship standards versus
eligibility of athletes.
Several months ago proposals that Albany
leave the conference, dominated on the grid
iron for the past two years by arrogant Wil
lamette, fanned discussion of the Tpiestion
into flame. Last Tuesday the controversy
arose again when the Digest, student daily,
flayed faculty action lowering scholastic re
quirements for athletic eligibility.
Coach Don I’ahe.r is reported to have vowed
that the men he lias available for basketball
Will wear the Albany colors on the maple
winter term, “D averages or no I) averages.’’
The faculty ruled that a mid-semester aver
age of D would not force athletes out of com
petition. The northwest ruling requires that
competitors he passing l‘J hours’ work. Al
though I) is passing at Albany, it counts no
grade points.
# » *
{^Tl'DKYT editors, the Digest states, must
maintain an average of It, student officers
of (', and “only athletes may he granted half
tuition during the junior and senior years;
whereas the greatest recognition that an hon
or student may expect is the listing of his
name on the commencement program.”
To further complicate her problem, rumors
are about that the Pacific northwest confer
enee will beat Albany to the punch and drop
her from official standing at the winter meet
ing which opens today.
Not a single conference victory went into
the little Oregoh school’s record during the
past football season. Consistently in the con
ference cellar, Albany afso holds the record
for consecutive games lost—28 in a row.
It is an unfortunate coincidence that agi
tation for the maintenance of high scholastic
standards and adherence to the ethics of
higher education usually come from the
schools which need almost every man with
athletic ability. The stand of Albany's stu
dents, for the student association last year
voted to require a C average of all athletes
in competition, is a commendable and highly
ethical one, although not the most “prac
OT only is it regretablc that agitation for
■*" ^ these higher standards seem confined to
smaller colleges but it is sad that the at
tempt to adhere to this laudable purpose has
not been found in the northwest conference’s
big brother, the Pacific coast conference.
Small schools are known among athletes as
meeeas for the hobo sports performer. Al
bany students, with or without the coopera
tion of their faculty, are trying to eliminate
this condition and put proper stress on schol
arship. Their fight has not been siieeessfuV
has encountered many setbacks, but if is not
yet over.
The Pacific coast, conference, big brother
to the Albany league, might take a hint itself
and raise and enforce its own eligibility rules.
Lord knows, there’s plenty of dirty linen in
coast conference lockers.

‘Goodbye Again’
(Continued from page one)
Haight and Scott originally in
tended to be there. He portrays
consistently the most inconsistent
role in the play. First he is inane,
then serious, then egotistical, now
bluffing all in the course of a few
moments.
Helen Roberts plays effectively
the personable Anne Rogers, at
tractive young secretary. She is
the unemotional type iBixby hates
operatic women) who knows what
makes the world go round and is
an ideal antidote for her temper
mental boss.
Julia Wilson (the other woman)
is the romantic, lovable, imagina
tive type of whom Bixby says “it's
hard to be horrible with Julia.”
Marian Hauer's “clinging vine"
portrayal sheds new light on why
bachelor s lives arc in danger as
long as her specie survives.
More Laughs From t'usi
These three by no means steal
all the laughs, for the remainder
of the cast offer an even greater
diversity of characters. 1 larvey
Wilson (played by Robert Hender

ially for Broadway comedies. At
times he acts dazed, other times
Btupid, but not anytime witli quite

Miss Shield's giggle and gasping,

body movements enliven the most
hysterical scenes in the play.

Tune *er
Out...
By BOB POLLOCK
Barring a couple of special edi
tions which the fiendish brains of
those at the wheel may order, this
jis the last Emerald of the term.
Alas, perchance also the last Em
erald for the Tuner Out. So today
j we flag our proboscis at the green
|eyed scissor-waving censor on the
desk, and tell all. Or as nearly all
as we can tell and still retain our
; unblemished reputation.
FIRST: WE HATE symphony
| music. It sounds like the storm
| and strife going to town on hub
by over the all-night poker ses
sion from which the poor ape
just came. Some of it, because
of its tempo, wc like. But it ap
peals to us merely because it has
speed, and we would be just as
happy if they played the Dark
Town Strutter’s Ball and we
don’t give two hoops in hades
who knows it. Furthermore, a
whole heck of a lot of people
who rave about symphony and
classical music are lying like a
rug, because they don’t under
stand it any more than we do—
only they don't write a column
and ain’t honest.
Second: There are times when
we confess a sneaking admiration
!for the Hit Parade which we’ve
panned all term . . . but only when
they play old tunes that remind us
of high school clays and the gal
with dimples who used to do our
geometry. And to critic Ellen
Wachtel of the brainy Alpha Xi
Deltas we say, phooey and that
you’re either a sentimentalist like
us, or a lover of brass bands . . .
and may your sorority sisters put
■the blight on you and put you on
| study table every night. So don't
ever write to columnists again.
THIRD: Tonight is Saturday
night . . . anybody what listens
to a radio this eve probaly has
chilblains like the Pi Fhi we saw
the other pjn., or is held incom
municado . . . look up your own
programs.
FOURTH: We enjoyed writing
this thing. Whether you read it or
not, we do not care . . . the band
must have and the school of rnu
sic. Anyhow, here’s the last—
maybe and our swan song is only
a dismal croak.

Bomby Spanish Air
In the fiercest aerial attack in
Madrid's history, thirty fascist
planes unleased bombs which
brought death to an unestimated
number of persons and reduced
buildings to shambles.
An insurgent warship stopped a
Russian steamer in the Straits of
Gibraltar, firing two shells across
the bow, and escorted her to a fas
cist port. A German-built airplane
loaded with Fascist propaganda
was found wrecked in the French
hills.

committee for December 17 and

Is to be held in Chicago.

Hamilton Fish of New York de

Connecticut. He writes.:
"Today’s Hartford Courant re
ports the organizing of a Two Can
Live As Cheaply association at the
University of Oregon and mentions
you as spokesman for the society.
"The item reports your motto as
being “Two Can Live as cheaply
as one." I take this to be jour
nalistic embellishment, and assume
that your proposition is that "Two
can live as cheaply together as
separately.” A demonstration of
this proposition, along with the
carrying through of your other
plans a3 described, would appear
to me to be an important national
service, and I should like the privi
lege of making a small contribu
tion toward your overhead ex
penses.
Oh, Oh, Five Dollars
"If there should be an occasion
al printed report or important
newspaper account of your achieve
ments which could be sent to me, T
should be grateful. Sincerely yours,
David C. Rogers."
Enclosed is a check for $5.
Such a contribution comes just
at a time when a few dollars are
needed for clerical expenditures,
such as the mailing of invitations
and replies to queries. We hearti
ly appreciate the generosity of
David Rogers, and hereby desig
nate him “First Godfather of the
TCLACA.” He shall receive month
ly notification of the progress of
the Two Can Live As Cheaply
Association, and we shall be happy
to perform the same service for
any other benefactor.
Should we receive a hundred such
communications, it might indeed
be said that "on the University of
Oregon campus, two can live as
cheaply as one.”
1 Other letters are from ladies re
questing the honor of boarding the
married students in their to-be-es
tablished cooperative living organ
ization ... at a cost.
Young love will triumph! And
such fun is this marriage!
