For UO Audience Tonight
It’s Trudi Schoop tonight!
The University student greeters’ committee plans to welcome Trudi,
the pixilated pantomimist, and her troupe to Eugene, where they are
expected to arrive via special bus today. The entire party will register
at a downtown hotel.
Among the greeters there will be at least one person who can make
Trudi feel “right at home.” Ann Cheyney, a Eugene resident, whose

Quartet Gives Fine
Performance in
Final Number
With liquid tones, changing in
rapid succession from earnestness
to gaiety, the subtle Persian phil
osophy of “In a Persian Garden”
was beautifully expressed last
night by four students of Halfred
Young, Virginia Tooze, soprano;
Barbara Ward, contralto; Leland
Chase, tenor; and George Saunders,
bass; With Zoe Brassey at the
piano.
The song-cycle was presented at
the school of music auditorium,
which was filled to capacity on the
main floor and was well occupied
in the balcony.
Outstanding on the program was
the final quartet, which a listener
remarked, displayed “the most
marvelous blend of harmony he
had ever heard.” In response to
heavy applause, the singers re
peated “Alas! That Spring Should
Vanish Like the Rose,” the last
quartet.
U of T Lawyers
Ask Exemption
From Bar Tests
By ANNA MAE HALVERSON
Exemption from state bar ex
aminations for graduates of the
University of Texas law school is
being sought by students in that
school by means of a legislative
bill, in spite of faculty disapproval.
A similar bill was presented to
the legislature two years ago and
was killed in the senate after fa
vorable recognition in the house.
Student leaders of the drive said
that the $20 examination fee along
with the two or three weeks’ ex
tensive reviewing, and the strenu
ous 10-hour examinations each day
for four days would be the stu
dents’ major arguments.—Daily

Honeyed Words
Judged the sweetest words in
the English language (or in any
language)—
1. I love you.
2. Dinner is served.
3. Keep the change.
4. All is forgiven.
5. Sleep till noon.
6. Here’s that five.
Might we add: Number 7—For
this term we will use the same
textbook used last year (profes
sor’s words).—Tulane Hullabaloo
Perhaps Number 8—No one
flunked the course. (Also profes
sor’s words.)
ancestors, like tnose ot rruai, aate
all the way back to the Matter
horn, will be on hand to extend her
welcome.
Begins at 8
Tonight’s performance, which
will begin promptly at 8 o'clock in
McArthur court, will feature a
comic ballet, “All for Love,” or
“what makes the world go ’round
in seven episodes.”
The ballet begins with 20
“weinie”-eating men and maids,
clad in gay costumes, cutting
capers, and executing idiotic con
tortions that come only after
years of expert training. Trudi ap
pears on the stage garbed each
time in a different costume and
each time giving several of her
inimitable cartoons in caricature.
Critics have described this comedy
as a “silly symphony in the flesh.”
Satire Is Weapon
Behind the humorous note of the
entire ballet, Trudi, in spite of her
clowning, uses satire as a weapon
to show her profound disdain for
the insincerity and pretense of the
rich the world over.
You’ll have a chance to see
Trudi’s educated hands in action,
when the Swiss miss uses her
hands, valued at $300,000, to give
eloquent meaning to her gestures.
In the ballet dignified ladies do
hand-stands and back-flips—all in
the name of caricature.
Portland Next
After her Eugene engagement,
Trudi will go to Portland, where
present indications are that her
coming appearance will draw the
largest audience ever to witness
her show there.
Since her first regular appear
ance in Portland, in 1936, Trudi
: has passed the acid test of popular
ity with the general public there,
and she is now on the “must” list
of concert goers and ballet fans.
Students will be admitted to the
ballet upon presentation of ASUO
cards.
New Grange Unit
Will Be Discussed
Discussion of the possibility of
organizing a subordinate unit of
the Grange, national farm organi
zation, will occupy student grange
member of one of the grange groups
meet with Arthur Brown, field
representative, at 4 o'clock in
room 3 of Johnson hall.
! Any student who has been a
member of one of the range groups
in his home town is invited to at
tend, according to the official, and
to express his opinions on the sa
gacity of attempting to begin a
unit on the campus.
Mr. Brown's scheduled meeting
grew out of a meeting of the Po
mona Grange near Eugene recent
ly, when several Btudents were
present. They suggested that the
campus might be interested, so Mr.

REST HOMES PROPOSED
If you sincerely believe that you
are going to be tired about March
10 (or isn’t that the word for it?),
you might be interested in some
thing new and novel in the way
of student accommodations pro

“Chronicle.” Its editors would have
their alma mater establish rest
homes where tired and study-worn
undergraduates could spend a few
days catching up on their sleep.—

Catchy Tunes
Promised for
Campus Play
Exclusive Scores
For Musical Show
Will Be Sung
University of Oregon students
will be whistling and singing a
whole flock of brand new tunes
after the opening of the all-campus
comedy to be presented "With
Fear and Trembling’’ by the Uni
versity and the drama division on
April 17.
They will be new tunes . . . and
they will be exclusively Oregon’s
very own, for they were com
posed with the Oregon campus and
the Oregon student body in mind,
when Wilfred Roadman and Hor
ace Robinson, co-directors of the
show, demanded music for the
comedy.
A preview of a preview of scores
of the “With Fear and Trembling’’
music revealed that the 12 original
tunes are lilting, catchy melodies!
. . . the type of songs that will be!
sung at firesides and at campus
sing-fests long after the comedy
itself closes.
‘Rhythm in Breeze’
“Rhythm in the Breeze,” written
by Esther McKeown, is the first of
the songs to go into rehearsal in i
preparation for the musical ex-1
travaganza. It will be sung by a j
soprano soloist, who has not yet’
been definitely chosen, and a mixed 1
double quartet, to include Jean
Burt, Elizabeth Steed, Leota Reetz, I
Trudy Harland, Lawrence Celsi,j
Durwent Banta, Don Childers, and
Gerald Childers.
The dance chorus for the show
is already in rehearsal, under the
capable tutelage of Gene Edwards.
Solo specialties and duets will
also be a part of the musical, as
well as numbers by a male chorus
and an all-girl chorus. The most
ambitious musical effect will in
volve 30 singers on the stage at
one time, Horace Robinson esti
mated yesterday.
Alice Rogers
Named Junior
Class Officer
Alyce Rogers had a new title
and the juniors had a new secre
tary yesterday following a spe

With Betty Cowan, class sec
retary elected last spring, auto*
matically out in the cold from
an acute case of ineligibility
itis, the remaining eligible offi
cers of the class got together
and chose the new secretary by
the method specified in the class
constitution.
The new secretary takes of

Dreams Come
True; Coeds
Get in Movies
i
Lights! Camera! Action! And
today, at 1 o’clock, the girl's
rifle team will break into the
newsreel headlines. The occasion
is the re-enactment of the girl’s
match with the freshman boys’
team, which the girls won by
eight points, before the grinding
camera of Paris Emery, Uni
versal News photographer.
The match between the two
teams was held during the first
part of this term. A short time
ago George Godfrey, head of the
University news bureau, told
Sergeant Harvey G. Blythe,
coach of the teams, that Emery
wanted to take pictures of the
match if the teams would stage
a re-enactment.
Consequently, at 1 o’clock to
day, the two teams will meet at
the barracks with the photogra
pher.
The exact nature of the re
enactment which Emery will
want is unknown, Godfrey said.

Session Plans
Made Known
By Cuthbert
City Planners to
Have Authorities
Discuss Problems
Plans for the session on city
planning to be held in connection
With the League of Oregon Cities
convention March 13 and 14 were
announced yesterday by Fred A.
Cuthbert, associate professor of
landscape architecture, who is in
charge.
There has been much interest
lately in matters pertaining to city
parks, airports, highway improve
ment, and other problems related
to city planning and zoning. The
session will be conducted inform
ally and these matters will be dis
cussed.
Various authorities on different
phases of city planning have been
asked to be present to lead dis
cussions and answer any questions.
These include: Harry Freeman,
city planning expert for the Port
land city planning commission; C.
P. Keyser, superintendent of parks,
Portland; Chester Corry, land
scape architect and superintendent
of parks, Ashland; Pat Hetherton,
research director of the Washing
ton state planning council; J. H.
Vogel, director of the King coun
ty planning commission, who is an
authority on platting, and Profes
sor W. Dorre Legg, assistant pro
fessor of landscape architecture at
Oregon State college. Harlow Hud
son, University instructor in archi
tecture, will also help lead discus
sion.
Matters Listed
Some of the matters which will
probably be discussed are over
development of streets, sewers, and
utility services; acceptance of plats
or sub-divisions as additions to
city street systems; problems deal
ing with zoning, and the handling
of tax-reverted lands within cities.
A special session on city air
ports will be led by Paul Morris,'
northwest representative of the!
Civil Aeronautics authority, and
Mr. Hetherton.
Library Circulation
Greatest in History
The greatest number of books ever taken out of the circulation de
partment in the University library's history were taken out last month,
said Miss Bernice Rise, circulation librarian, yesterday.
There were 19,020 books used by students from this department in
comparison to 13,882 in 1938 and 12,820 in 1937. This is an increase of
5138 over last year’s total and 6200 more than in 1937
This number seems especially
large, since the reserve books were
formerly counted in with the cir
culation ones. Since they have been
taken out the number of circula
tion books still increases, stated
Miss Rise.
The number of books checked
out from the circulation desk to be
used in the library v/as 4,495, or an
increase of 875 over 1938’s total of
3620. The books taken home by
students amounted to 15,525, in
contrast to 10,262 in February of
1938.
This is the second time in a week
that circulation records have been
broken. More books were taken out
last Tuesday than on any da(y
since 1925, Miss Rise stated.
Oregon Basketeers
On Wag This Morning
For Seattle Series
Caravan Will Leave College Side at 8:30;
Band, Loudspeaker System, Victory Bell
To Aid in Ceremony as Webfoots Depart
It takes a championship series to start the Webfoot victory bell
ringing. And it takes a championship team to get into such a series.
Victory bell and championship basketballers will both be very
much in evidence this morning at the station downtown when How
ard Hobson’s hopefuls shove off for Seattle, and there will be a
raucous crew of victory-minded Webfoots and fans around to give
them the kind of sendotf that goes
with such a leave-taking.
It’s a rally, that's what, planned
by Yell King Bob Elliott, the rally
committee, and the Monday Morn
ing quarterbacks.
Leave at 8:30
Cars in a caravan, led by the
band, wiill leave the College Side
at 8:30 or soon after, Elliott said.
To get the rally down to the sta
tion in time for a short whoop-up
before the train pulls out shortly
after 9.
There will be a loud speaker sys
tem, something new in station ral
lies. The University band will be
there, blasting the morning air
with send-off music.
This will be the last time any
Webfoot crowd will get to cheer a
departing team which includes
Laddie Gale, Slim Wintermute,
Wally Johansen, Bobby Anet, and
Bob Hardy, who finish their col
legiate basketball travels this trip.
Classes Not Excused
No classes will be excused this
morning for the rally, an official
ruling having been handed down
to the effect that there are so few
classes at these hours on Thurs
days anyway, the relative number
of students released by such a
move would be negligible. Band
members will be excused from
classes.
The victory bell, in the custody
of Hank Nilsen’s “0”-wearers,
will clang about the campus and
through downtown streets at the
head of the parade. This is the
first time this year the bell has
been brought out for a basketball
series.
If the Seattle series nets the
much-needed single win the Ducks
must have to win the northwest
championship, the bell will come
out again, it was indicated, in
which case it would also do its
share toward promoting a coast
championship.
Safety Conference

City Puts Sign
Up Backwards;
Now It's Right
Even the city can make mis
takes. When finally the city of
Eugene got around to installing
traffic signs on University and
Kincaid streets at 13th, the
maintenance department put the
signs up stopping the traffic
going the wrong way.
However, the signs were
changed yesterday and are now
facing the right direction. Mo
torists will be given a few days
time in which to become accus
tomed to the new signs. After
that time arrests and fines will
be in order.

FOURTEEN IN INFIRMARY
Someone felt sorry for the super
stitious students at the infirmary.
Yesterday 14 patients were listed
on the registry at the campus hos
pital.
Students resting up before finals
were Cecil Igoe, Margaret Betts,
Doris King, Marie States, Frances
Williams, Bettie Wilson, Willis
Pack, Alan Sherrill, Ray Goates,
William McCormack, William
Brenner, David Crittenden, Harry

Students Advised
To See Advisers
It is now time for students plan
ning to change majors or to make
any radical changes in courses to
see their advisers, according to C.
L. Constance, assistant registrar,
for the great amount of confusion
on registration day will not allow
much individual attention.
Registration for spring term
classes will begin at 8 o’clock Mon
day, March 20, for all undergrad
uates, Constance said. The same
plan of registering will be used
that was in force winter term,
with advisers present at McArthur
court to aid freshmen and sopho
mores to arrange classes. Advis
ers for upperclassmen may be in
terviewed in their campus offices
if the student desires, but he will
be required to register without fac
ulty aid.
Housing checks may be obtained
now at the office of Mrs. Marcella
B King, housing secretary, in
Johnson hall, as a further guard
against congestion at the begin
ning of the new term, the assist
ant registrar counseled.
As before, no material will be
granted before 8 o’clock the morn
ing of March 20.
