    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.

For Interviews
Into the glare of flashing spot
lights will step University of Ore
gon coeds and their escorts at the
entrance to the "Oregon Premier"
which is to take place at the Sen
ior ball Saturday night in Mc
Arthur court.
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.

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.

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.
