Miss McCornack Wills $500 Gift Students Studying Music For Religious Purpose Will Get Benefit A $500 bequest by Miss Mary Elizabeth McCornack for the bene fit of students studying music for religious purposes has been an nounced by John J. Landsbury dean of the school of music, who has just heard of the gift. Miss McCornack, who, at her death on November 15, was 75 years old, was a graduate of the University in 1882. At one time she was a music instructor here. Following her graduation from the University, she went to Boston where she graduated from the New England conservatory of music.

School of Music Presents Recital Organist William McKinney, pianist Lural Burggraf, and con tralto Barbara Ward, Combined their artistry last night in a recital presented by the school of music in the music auditorium. The program was opened with an interpretation of Bach’s char acteristically pensive "Fugue in G minor" by Mr. McKinney, student of John Stark Evans. Lural Burggraf, special student of George Hopkins from Albany, played a group of piano solos, among which was the melancholy Chopin "Nocturne in E-major.” Mr. Burggraf’s outstanding num ber was the Schumann "Novellette in E-major.” The contralto soloist, Barbara Ward, vocal student of Hal Young, opened her group with the popular Tschaikowsky number, "One Who Has Learned, Alone," followed by the Campbell-Tipton "The Crying of Water.” Her group was con cluded with Rachmaninoff’s “In the Silence of Night," and as an encore, she sang Kathleen Lock hart Manning’s famous "Luxem borg Gardens.” She was accom panied by Edith Farr. Beavers Rally (Continued from f<ar/r three) before the finish, scored eight. Vandals Take Lead Idaho grabbed a 7-to-3 lead in the first 12 minutes of pluy. With big Conkling leading, the visitors passed the home team and went ahead, 9 to 7. Idaho tied that and pulled on in front by four points at the half. Kolberg put the Beavers within two points, 14 to 12, with a field goal at the start of the second half, but Bill Kramer of the Vandals pushed home two quick field buck ets, to rush Idaho into an lS-to-12 lead. At this point Oregon State took over the controls and boomed out in front. It was 28 to 18 at one time, and the Vandals failed to seriously threaten with a brief rally.

(Salem Bureau of ihe Emerald) Adjournment is in the air at the 39th legislative assembly. Legislators are tired and want to go home. As the week roll on members begin to run more and more on the nerves and those thin strings are becoming ragged. Personalities are indulged in more frequently in debate and insults pop up now and then. Representative Vernon D. Bull, Union, didn’t like something Ralph Watson of the Portland Journal said about him the other day and jumped from his seat while the assembly was in session to take Watson to task. I The little drgument occurred just to the left of the speaker's ! rostrum and Speaker Harry Boivin | moved his gavel over to the side, 1 meanwhile conducting the business of the house. The climax of the argument found Bull throwing an Oregonian into Watson’s face. Members in the legislature com mented on “bad politics” and "the power of the press.” # * * Representative Clarence F. Hyde was in Eugene Saturday night at a meeting of the University facul ty chib. Legislative moves (tnd actions were discussed. Mr. Hyde and faculty members reported an interesting session was had. It was Hyde who led the fight against possible delay on the high er education appropriation bill in the house and crushed it through to passage. One of Representative J. T. Ma honey’s remarks raised quite a bit of comment among legislators. He made a statement during one of the discussions on the higher edu cation appropriation about the teaching of “singing in an agricul tural school.” fleveral legislators expressed themselves as opposed to making what could be “one of the best technical schools in the nation into a semi-liberal arts college.” “Thus duplication of courses with University courses is expen sive,” said Representative Clarence Hyde, Lane. “Why doesn’t the college special ize in the technical subjects, the University in the liberal arts, and both of them build up a national reputation in their own field,” said Hyde, adding, “the University hasn’t tried to teach agriculture or engineering." Governor Martin To Speak Here Plans are being made for the annual convention of the Common wealth conference to be held on the campus March 18 and 19. The League of Oregon Cities and the Chamber of Commerce secretaries association will conene on the campus at the same time. At a joint luncheon of the League with the conference, Governor Charles H.

New Geography Course Offered fn Spring Term The geography of Africa, a course offered here for the first time, will be given spring term under the supervision of Alfred L. Lomax, professor of business ad ministration, with the aid of Ur. Pay Restoration Possibility Cited Hunter Indicates Boar il Plan i*» Be Used Despite Delayed Approval Chancellor Frederick M. Hunter indicated last night that restora tion of Oregon higher education ■salaries would follow .the plan for mulated by the board, despite de layed approval of an $873,000 ap propriation. although he was un able to make a definite statement until checking over the final re sults. "We can't tell definitely yet," Dr. Hunter said, "although the ap propriation was enough to restore salaries to a full-time scale 16 to 18 months of the biennium, prob ably starting September 1.” It was believed that delayed ap proval of the proposals would not make any change in the plans of | the state board of higher educa tion because they would be unable to take action until July 1, almost a month after the bill becomes effective under the 90-day suspend ed approval. The twin bill restored higher education to the 1930 millage levy to become effective in 1938 and made a direct appropriation of $400,000 continuing into both years of the biennium. Warren D.
