A Couple of Trudi's Gang A pair of dance mimes ... go through their routine in preparation for the Trudi Schoop ballet at the Igloo March 2. Trudi Pantomimes With $300,000Hands When Trudi Schoop makes a gesture she uses- a pair of hands valued at $300,000. Trudi's hands are so essential to her in pantomim ing and creating caricatures in her dancing that she has had them insured for that amount. Miss Schoop will use these hands on March 2, in McArthur court, when she and her troupe of twenty frolicking dancers come to Eugene as another feature of the University’s greater artist series. When Trudi came from her native land, Switzerland, to the United stales, in iticso, sne iouna nsr knowledge* of the English lan guage was inadequate for her to he understood at press interviews.

All the sparkle and verve of a Hollywood “first night” will at tend the gaieties of the formal dance, when cameras will click and grind as campus celebrities sweep into the brilliantly beauti ful interior created by the senior class for Oregon’s “coming out” party. Notables to Be Questioned One by one University notables will be interviewed as they step before the searchlights of the broad entrance to the court, while the “sweet swing” of Han Wilde’s incomparable orchestra floats out from the interior of the glittering ball room. Inside, beneath a false ceiling like a huge diamond, Wilde music dispensers will be enthroned across the mirror-smooth floor from the door-way, while patrons and pa tronesses at the left end of the huge ballroom will hold court on a raised dias, screened discreetly by lattice-work panels. Star Adorns Ceiling Artistic interest will be centered upon a twelve-foot sparkling star, suspended from the ceiling and slowly rotating and reflecting the light from a myriad of spot-lights upon floors and walls. Gone will be the gaunt towering rafters of the Igloo, camouflaged for one magic evening by a low ceiling of two colors depicting the facets of a large cut-diamond. Walls of the ballroom will be masked with silhouetted glamour girls, interspersed at intervals with panels carrying out the at mosphere of a brilliant opening. . . . and through it all will drift the exciting atmosphere of “action . . . camera!” always attendant upon premier performance. Cello Duet Feature Of Senior's Recital The first work for two celli ever performed publicly in Eugene will be played Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock in the music building when Madge Conaway is presented in her senior recital.

Portland Teachers Of Math Organize On DeCou's Advice Speaking before the science and mathematics teachers at the De cember meeting of the state teach ers association meeting in Port land, Professor E. E.

Stopping at a Youth Hostel? This cycling pair ... of former days might have stopped at Am erican youth hostels such as are described below—if such places had existed in the old days. Hostels May Connect Eugene and Portand - . ' i By MARTHA WODAEGE The possibility of establsihing youth hostels in the Willamette valley may become a realization when Eugene residents learn of the pleasure of traveling on foot or by bicycle at a very small cost. The youth hostels movement is established in all parts of the United States and Europe, and is proving the outlet for the adventurous instinct of young people. Hostels between Eugene and Portland would not only enable people to travel tins distance at a very. low cost, but would give them the \ pleasure of a 15-mile hike each day in the open air, or a 30-mile bicycle ride. The cost of staying overnight in a hostel is twenty-five cents; expenses for one day amount to one dollar. Harlow Hudson, instructor in architecture, and Mrs. Hudson, traveled the youth hostel way while touring Europe. They visited England, Norway, Sweden, Fin land Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, and France, learning to meet people of all ages and nation alities, who were traveling as “hostelers.” “We had a general background of languages,” Mrs. Hudson ex plained, “but were unable to prac tice them, because all the hostelers we meet were too eager to prac tice their English on us!” The hostels themselves arc barns, homes, mills, parsonages, castles, or modern buildings that have been taken over by local groups or committees, Mrs. Hud son said. “A warehouse in Colon had a room containing 200 beds,” she said. '‘There are separate quar ters for boys and girls. Everyone brings his own linen, in the knap sack containing the barest necessi ties of living, but the hostels pro vide the cooking utensils and fa cilities. Most people cook their own food, exchanging dishes with friends from another country and thereby getting a variety of strange dishes in one meal. Others may buy their lunches at the hostel.” vxi imuii iiip uicap A trip through Germany for one month cost Mr. and Mrs. Hudson only $75. Mrs. Hudson pointed out that a weekend trip in America costing not less than $10 will be a week’s tour in Europe at the same price. “Personally I should like to see the hostel movement established in the Willamette valley," Mrs. Hudson said. “It is a wonderful education for anyone who enjoys walking in the open air, for the mere pleasure of walking. Meet ing people from other towns would be inspiring; the first-hand in formation one gets enables one to sec the different viewpoints.” Miss Elizabeth Wahl, graduate student at the University from Santa Monica, is also aquainted j with youth hostels. She, too, found that a complete knowledge of lan guages was not important, for her only background was one year of college French. German Hostels Less Costly Miss Wahl discovered in her trips through Germany, England, France, Belgium, Holland, and Switzerland that the ^outh hostels in Germany arc cheaper than any where else, costing only twelve I tents a day. They are also the best hostels iu Europe. “We met many German youths at the hostels from Hitler's youth | camps. They greeted us wdth ‘Heil, Hitler,’ raising their right arms, i and thought it strange that we answered with the American ‘good evening" instead of the salute. We traveled on the Rhine, staying in ! old castles, which have become ■ bostcls. Tn Holland one *of the : .—tl'— e.en had a moat around it. We slept in the castle tower.” Skis Used in Winter Hostels in Switzerland moun tains are reached on skiis in the winter and on foot in summer, Miss Wahl revealed. “I think youth hostels promote international good will,” she stat ed, and added, “It would be nice to have them in Oregon, especially one at Mt. Hood.” A meeting will be held in Ger linger hall on the campus Tuesday at 4 o'clock for students and townspeople who are interested in seeing the hostels established in this area. John Hanna, American Youth Hostel secretary, and Miss Nancy Reasoner of the national headquarters in Northfield Massa chusetts, will conduct the discus sion. Call Sent for Extra Symphony Tickets Subscribers to the University symphony orchestra concert se ries who will be unable to attend the final conceit of the season in the music auditorium February 28 should notify the associated stu dents offices on the campus at once, Director Rex. Underwood said Monday. Such extra tickets will be made available to students unable to at tend otherwise, Mr. Underwood said. You’ll Never Find those lost Articles by a Whispering Campaign . . . » v TRY EMERALD CLASSIFIED UO Orchestra Will Present 'Suite Jazz' Hopkins' Music to Be Heard for First Time; Classics Complete Program American jazz in its most color rul and rhythmic moods by George Hopkins, professor of piano in the University of Oregon school of music, will be presented by the University symphony orchestra when they play their final concert of the season in the music audito rium next Tuesday evening, Feb ruary 28. The Hopkins “Suite Jazz,” which will have its public premiere that evening, will be played by ensem ble groups of orchestra members. This will add greatly to the effec tiveness of the five selections, termed by Mr. Underwood as “some of the finest novelties the orchestra has ever been privi leged to offer,’’ Jitterburgs are hardly expected to start swinging down the aisles, tut the rhumba, “Black Dia monds," is likely to set anyone’s feet moving. “Moondown” is low and plaintive, while the others, “Snake Eyes,” “Hum, Black Boy," and “Dusky Rhythm" are more in the manner of swing. The numbers have been accept ed by an eastern music concern and will be published shortly. The remainder of the orchestral program is in a more classical vein, and will include, among oth er selections, “Dream Pantomime” from Humperdinck's "Hansel and Gretel," the prelude to Act Three from Wagner’s “Lohengrin," and the Farandole from Bizet's “L’Ar lesienne” suite. Robert Garretson, instructor or piano, who will be featured soloist, will play John Powell’s “Negro Rhapsody.” PE Students Succeed Athletically, Socially Although this is the first year that the PE club has entered the whirl of intramural events, in both the “A” and “B” leagues the "Fizzeds" basketball teams emerged on the top of the heap. Last Friday the “A” league team defeated the Pi Kappa Alpha squad by a score of 29 to 22 and yesterday the PE club “B” squad upset the dope bucket by downing the boys from the SAE house Liquor Problem Is Subject for Contest What Is Your Opinion of Today's Liquor Problem? Chosen as the' subject for the Burns Award Edi torial contest, the topic will give students the opportunity to air their views as well as offering an opportunity to win one of 28 prizes. Sponsored by the Intercollegiate association, the contest is open to all “full - time undergraduates." Fifty dollars will be awarded to the best editorial or “letter to the editor.” Two 825 prizes and 25 subscriptions to the International Student magazine will also be awarded. Before an editorial or letter can be entered in the contest, it must be printed in the college paper, a newspaper, or a magazine. A clip ping must be enclosed with the entry. No contribution should be over 500 words. Three copies of the editorial must be submitted. They must be accompanied by an entry blank which may be obtained by writing to the contest director at the In tercollegiate association, 100 Mary land Avenue, N. E., Washington, D. C. The contest closes on March 31. MUSIC BOOKS SHOWN Books about music and dancing are displayed today on the bulletin board of the library. One of them is a collection of songs which is listed among the new books at the library. The display was arranged by Miss Marguerite Carpenter, cataloging assistant in the library. 49 to 25. The decision to enter all intra murals came after a meeting of the club held during the latter part of last November. Social Life Stressed During the past year the club has also been active in a social way giving numerous parties, a mixer dance for PE students and an all-campus co-recreational night. The co-recreational night, which was given earlier this term, was attended by "over 300 men and women students of the Univer sity of Oregon” according to the most conservative estimates. These co-recreational nights have been given every year since the club's founding in 1933. It has also been their policy to give ski ing, swimming, and skating par ties. Club Discusses Problems This year the club is trying a new experiment in taking charge of a panel discussion in the north west district convention of the American Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recrea tion which will be held on the campus during the spring term. The PE club was organized in 1933 when the local chapter of Phi Epsilon Kappa, national profes sional physical education honorary, was disbanded because of the ex pense of maintaining a national honorary. There had been a PE club on the campus during the 1920’s but it was replaced by Phi Epsilon Kappa. CALENDAR TAKEN Some student has accidentally walked away with a small desk calendar from the information desk in the library. This was a personal gift to Miss Elizabeth Findly and she would appreciate it if it could be brought back.
