Then came the dance, with Bar ris pulling a Smokey Whitfield, taking the dancers by storm with a trick step. In best Whitfield manner Harry and Wife Loyce Whiteman infected the crowd with their demonstration of the ‘’Lam beth Walk” and then got virtually all the couples strutting in the new variant of the old “Chicken Reel.” Scenes at this point were remi niscent of last year’s fall and win ter ter m dances, when the “Big Apple” was making conventional dancers choose between habit and what the crowd was doing. Not, the least of the evening’s proceedings was the naming of seven senior men to Friars, honor ary for outstanding fourth-year men. Pledging was done by tap ping ceremony to the strains of a march as Friar actives wound about the floor in search of their men. Those pledged were Harold Hae ner, Clair Hoflich, Wally Johan sen, Ron Husk, Dale Mallicoat, and Jack Wagstaff, and Willie Frager Students Lose, Fire Engines Get Red Paint By ANNA MAE HALVERSON The blue and gold fire engine: of Berkeley, California, will be again painted red upon order o Fire Chief John Ichelberger, ii spite of opposition from any Uni versity of California students.

Although registration is in no way indicative of the number of grads on the campus, the number ! i egistered this year was within 100 | of last year’s total, which was 550. "In spirit, however, this Home coming was the biggest we have 1 ever had,’’ Fansett said, “and that spirit was largely due to student [ support.” While dancing, football, frater nity get-togethers, etc., enter tained alums, they also held elec tions of officers for the ensuing year, with Ronald M.

Kreisler Thrills 4000, Likes His Audience By ELIZABETH ANN JONES “I like university and college audiences . . . they are cultured and appreciative,” said Fritz Kreisler, as he lovingly put his shini r Guarnerius violin in its case last night after holding spell-bound the largest audience ever to attend a concert in McArthur court at the University of Oregon, Nearly four thousand persons heard Kreisler’s interpretation of Tartini and Bach, Viotti, Beethoven, Mozart, Rimsky-Korsakoff . . . tuiu <x giuup uj. ilia uwn atricuLiuna so much beloved by Americans. The master violinist arrived in Eugene yesterday noon with his accompanist and his manager, at tended a movie in the afternoon before giving his concert for the ASUO. The 63-year-old Austrian, who is acclaimed as one of the greatest figures in the world of music, says that audiences in all parts of the world are responsive and well informed. His home is a 20-room suburban mansion in Berlin, Germany, to which he will return for the Christ mas holidays, after completing his United States tour. The first concern of the artist after the concert was to carefully shine and wrap his violin and lock it in its case, after which he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the group of newspaper men and friends who waited to talk to him. The instrument upon which he played to his Eugene audience is a Guarnerius, and the finest of his four violins, according to his ac companist, Carl Lamson, who has been with him since 1912. Kreisler played for three en cores the “Liebeslied,” “Lisbes froid,” and “Caprice Vennois.” He stated that these, his own compositions, are loved and recog nized wherever he plays to an Am erican audience. Kreisler loves to play to stu dent audiences because, he says, he can feel from their reactions that he is giving them something . . . that he has something worth while to offer them. Armistice Day ROTC Flans Completed Plans for ROTC participation in the Armistice day parade have been completed, Col. Robert M. Lyon, head of the military depart ment, stated yesterday.

V. Cuthbert, although it presented a very torn appearance following the conflict. Because of the continuous rains in the last week, the sod was un usually soft and muddy. It did not withstand the wet weather as well as it should have because of its hard use in the early practice season of this year. The new drainage system which was installed this summer proved successful, however, Cuthbert said, and kept the field from turning into a lake.

Noah's Crew Learns Ropes For Next Play “All hands on deck!” No, it’s not the cry of the boatswain on the Normandie, but the shout of Noah to his crew on the ark. The play “Noah” is now in production and will be presented by the Guild Hall players at the University theater on December 1, 2, and 3. The story is that of Noah and Bis family and their troubles in the ark during the flood. \ Told in modern language just as the Bible characters would have spoken had the flood occur red in the twentieth century, the fantastic comedy sparkles with humor and wit throughout the whole play. Members of •'the crew have donned their sailor suits and re hearsals are progressing rapidly. | Hal Young Appears In Portland Concert Professor of Music Sings With Oregon Federal Symphony Halfred Young, tenor, who is . professor of voice at the Univer sity of Oregon school of music, ap peared as guest soloist with the Oregon Federal Symphony orches tra at its first concert of the sea son in the Neighbors of Woodcraft auditorium, Portland, last night.

No Score in First After a scoreless first period, Idaho reached «nd-zone territory on a pass from Hal Roise to End Ray Smith. But this lead was shortlived, as Locomotive Bob Smith, Oregon right halfback, broke into the open on an off tackle play, and galloped 92 yards for a touchdown. Nicholson con verted to give Oregon the lead. Again in the third quarter, the Ducks scored on a long run as Ted Gebhardt sped through a hole at right guard to cross the line standing up after a 34-yard romp. In the final period, Jimmy Nichol son’s 65-yard runback of Roise’s kick placed the ball on the Idaho one-yard lino. Gebhardt packed the leather over, and Oregon’s margin of victory was posted. Vandal Injured The spirit of the fans was some what dampened by an injury to Tony Knap, star Vandal end, just before the halftime gun.

That is the ques tion which has faculty and stu dent leaders alike wondering this week at the close of 1938 Home ; coming festivities. Dance Is Sore Spot The Homecoming dance Satur day night seems to be the sore , spot in the attacks on the week end’s spirit. Yes, one of the hig gest crowds any dance ever boasted attended the affair. There were lots of alums there. The committee made a great deal of money. Harry Barris was grand. Everyone admits these features. Fansett Points Finger "But on the other hand,” says Elmer C. Fansett, University'' alumni secretary, who had a jlrrf minent part in the arrange ments, "the advertising theme j of posters for Saturday's dance was not 'Meet your old friends,’ or ‘Come home to your Alma Mater," but ‘Dance with Harry Earns.’ ” Mr. Fansett suggested that students may ha^.e forgot ten that Homecoming is the one alumni weekend of the year. Every other one belongs to the students alone, he declared, add ing that this one is about to be taken over by the students too. ‘‘A big-name orchestra is hired, not because the alums want it, but because of student appeal,” he said. Dean Earl Joins In Dean of Men Virgil D. Earl says that most of the campus visitors once big get-togethers where everyone went free of charge if they were paid-up members of the Alumni association.” This year alums pay $1.50 for their Saturday night entertainment and the spiirt of the affair is not nbw a ‘‘family affair,” he added. Also agreeing with the dean of men on the loss of hospitality in this year’s Homecoming was Dean of Personnel Administra tion Karl W. Onthank. Weston Defends Spirit From the student point of view comes ASUO Prexy Harry Weston’s statement, ‘‘The spirit was there and the alums have had a good time, but there just weren’t enough of them present to tell." He said that he believed that most of the campus visitors last week-end were younger grads, which lent to the ‘ stu dent atmosphere" at the dance. Watson Considers Students Homecoming Chairman Dick Watson admitted that the big name orchestra is obtained in student interests, not that of alums, but contends that with every other feature of tl*e week end for the returning alums, there should be some feature to entertain the 3500 students on the campus.
