Mr. Fleurot is expected to include part of this information in his student body speech, the personnel office stated. Art Discussed By Dr. Pepper “People don’t believe that beau ty and utility can be the same thing in architecture,” said Dr. Stephen C. Pepper in a lecture Fri day night on “Sense and Intellect in Art.” Dr. Pepper, of the University of California, spoke to a packed room of listeners in Chapman hall, ex plaining the swing from sensuous to intellectual art in modern func tionalist architecture. Modern music and modern art are taking exactly opposite paths, Dr. Pepper pointed out. Music, which had been too intellectually severe, is turning to more sensual ly delightful forms. Architecture, recovering from over-ornamenta tion, is now severely functional in purpose. Music and art forms express feelings of the common man and his attempts to keep an even bal ance. Good taste demands both in tellectual and sensuous delight. “A work of art is a piece of a man,” Dr. Pepper said, in pointing out that revolutions occur when the work becomes either too dil letante or pedantic. Dr. Pepper was presented under the auspices of the American In stitute of Architects as the D. Ev erett Waid lecturer. Librarian Presides Miss Ethel R. Sawyer, browsing room librarian, presided at a round table discussion on children's lit erature at the convention of the Oregon State Teachers’ associa tion in Portland during the Christ mas vacation. 0°D%s°Sit0 86 Taken S,gn Q«es5 Parking Taboo Hits Johnson Hall Area _ Restriction Involves Student Automobiles; Excess Traffic Congestion Is Cause Given; Student Committee Hands Down Decision Pressed by an ever-increasing parking congestion problem, the student automobile committee yesterday announced that student park ing would have to be prohibited in the area west of Johnson hall. The announcement followed a long study by the automobile com mittee and administration officials of the University. According to reports, the change was forced by the added congestion from Chap man hall and the Co-op store. At present there are 48 parking spaces in this lot. In Johnson,1 Frosh After Good Floor For Limpers Informal Dress Decreed by Class For Ladies' Night A first-class floor for dancing! was promised today for Saturday’s all-campus Leap Sfear Limp. “We're going to see that some thing is done about that Gerlinger floor before Saturday night; in fact we’re going to do it our selves,” declared Co-chairmen Bob Fronk and Len Ballif. After listening to campus com ment on floor conditions at the last affair held in the upper-campus building, the chairmen, who head the committees for the girl-bid hop sponsored by the freshman class, decided to go into action. A complete cleaning of the surface and testing of suitable waxes will feature the operation. “Boys can relax all the way through, from start to finish,” committee members stated yes terday. “With the girls handling the date situation and the order for clothes definitely informal campus wear, males can sit back | and wait for an enjoyable eve ning.” Skirts and sweaters will be in order for coeds, according to cam pus social chairman Betty Bu chanan, following the informal rule laid down by committee heads. 'Airline' Series Set For Speech Classes; Nine Plays on Sked “The Stage - struck Yankee,” first of a series of nine radio plays to be presented by the speech classes of D. E. Hargis, member of the speech division staff, will be broadcast over radio station KOAC, Corvallis, Thursday evening from 7:30 to 8. The series of plays will be called “The Gaslite Theater” and will pre sent dramas of nineteenth century origin. The first play, given in the famous Globe theater in Boston in 1845, is a farce in one act wrjtten by O. E. Durivage. The other plays to be given are: “Rip Van Winkle,” “Havel Kirke,” | "Life in New York,” “The People’s Lawyer,” “Ten Nights in a Bar- < room," “East Lynne,” “Self,” and “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” i v_/iiapxiictii, v^uuiiiienjc, aiiu r cmuu hall, there are 40 members of the University staff who drive their ears to work almost every day. i There is also need for parking j room for customers and visitors who wish to transact business at the administration building. The committee reported that at Oregon State no parking is per mitted on the campus. There are also restrictions at most Califor nia colleges, and at various other state institutions. This year’s change is similar to one made in 1939 which prohibited student parking in back of Friend ly hall. Students may still use the lot near the music building which is the only other available space on the campus. As an alternative, | it was suggested that cars could be parked on Kincaid or University street, either of which is within less than a block of Johnson. In announcing the change the committee stated that there have i been numerous complaints aboutj all-day parking, blocking drive ways to Chapman hall, and park- j ing in reserved spaces. During the day it has often become so con- j gested, reports stated, that Uni versity officials have often been unable to secure a place. Frosh Women To Hear Talk Phi Theta Holds Monthly Meet at Hendricks Today Freshman women will go to Hendricks hall for the Phi Theta Upsilon assembly today at four o’clock. Majeane Glover, president of] Phi Theta Upsilon, junior women’s honorary, stated that the change from Gerlinger, the usual meeting place, to Hendricks was made be cause of a conflicting date with the faculty wives tea. Mrs. Mable Perkins Maxwell, vocational speaker from Portland, will address the girls but as yet her subject has not been an nounced. These assemblies, which are a monthly feature, are given for the purpose of explaining to the fresh men the different activities of or- ] ganizations on the campus. The Orides have been invited to handle the entertainment for this program and Marcia Judkins, president, will give a short speech on the club. Surprise refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the meeting. Today is positively the last day to turn in Oregon pictures according to George Knight, editor. GROUP ASKS FOR OPINIONS Kwama, Skull and Dagger to Take Vote Friday Noon By NORMAN FOSTER Cries of coercion and oppression that arose from a majority of house managers and living organ ization heads when asked to pro duce house displays for the recent Homecoming celebration are ap parently still ringing in the minds of campus student leaders. Taking the before mentioned protests into consideration, John Cavanagh, general chairman of the forthcoming Dad’s Day festivities, last night announced that a survey will be made of all campus living organizations in an effort to deter mine current campus thought re garding house displays. Honoraries to Help The poll will be conducted by members of Kwama and Skull and Dagger, sophomore hoiroraries, at lunch time Friday. Votes will be taken by a show of hands. Cavanagh emphasized the fact :hat the Dad’s Day committee, fol- | lowing the precedent set by pre vious Dad’s Weekend organizers, las made plans for house displays,, feeling that such displays do much toward arousing spirit and also greatly enhancing the attractive ness of the campus. “However,” said Cavanagh, “the committee has no intention of going against the wishes of the student body in this matter of building appropriate nouse signs.” Reasons for Worries House managers have protested that the displays are too expensive nonsidering the benefit received and that it is difficult to get mem bers to cooperate in building and setting up the signs. Also, some of the living organizations that are located on the outskirts of the nampus feel that their displays are not appreciated by visitors. Then, too, there is the thought that it might rain sunshine during the festivities of January 26, 27,1 and 28 and consequently lender the ' displays useless as far as beauty is concerned. A great deal of the success of Dad's Day as far as campus pro motion goes depends on attractive iving organization displays, Cava aagh pointed out. However, Fri iay’s poll will determine the com mittee action on house signs, Chairman Cavanagh stated. Action on SDX Dance To Be Taken Today In First 1940 Meeting Activity plans of Sigma Delta dhi for winter term will be formu- j lated at the Oregon professional 1 chapter’s first important meeting of 1940, today at 4 o’clock in room j 104 Journalism building.

Other business to be discussed will include the chapter’s contribution to the Oregon Press conference and initiation of pledges.

On the Bottom to Win (Courtesy the Eegister-Guaid) •ntn “bottom to top” are Everything counted in the Idaho series last night and Monday. Here, reading from Vic Townsend (52), Oregon guard; “Red” McNeeley (15), Duck forward; and Idaho’s Captain Roy Rainey scramble for the ball. Jan Kiepura To Perform Tomorrow Polish Opera Star Is Attraction on Greater Artist List The “triple threat tenor” is the title that critics have pinned on Jan Kiepura, handsome young Po lish star of opera, concert, and films, who comes to Oregon to morrow night for his initial ap pearance on the stage of McAr thur court at 8 o'clock. ASUO ticket holders must ex change their student body cards for special concert admittances at the activities office Indore Thurs day night. First “piece de resistance” on ASUO’s Greater Artist presenta tions this term, Kiepura is not new to Eugene audiences, since his two Americah movies have been wide ly shown in this country. Good Ad-Libber Known by newspaper men as an artist who likes to depart from tradition, the young Polish artist has often come out of character to give human touches to the roles he plays. “Kiepura’s ad-libbing has little precedent,” the New York Post wrote, after he upset opera tradition by gleefully rub bing his hands in a serious scene in “La Boheme.” Son of a musical family, the Po lish artist made his operatic de but in 1926, and since then has gained acclaim in three fields the latest, Hollywood movies. Tickets for the tenor’s concert are on sale at the educational ac tivities office for non-card holders, at 75 cents for general admission, and $1, $1.25, and $1.50 for re served seats. Student body tickets will be ac cepted, but in order for a student to use his ASUO card, he must ex change it at the activities office for a special concert ticket, it was decreed yesterday. Infirmary List Remains Same; Ban Continues Influenza cases in the Univer sity’s hospital are no more than there have been for a long time, according to Dr. L. S. Porter, assistant health service physi cian. However, restriction on visiting, a precautionary meas ure, will continue in effect until there is an appreciable decrease in the number of patients now confined, the doctor said. “The visiting ban, posted right after Thanksgiving, was the re sult of a mild flu epidemic in southern Oregon, the fact that some students home for the va cation might have been exposed to it,” declared Dr. Porter. He explained that the taboo was primarily for visitors’ protection, to minimize possibilities of their contraction. Hospital patients for January 9 totaled 15 and were as fol lows: Otilla Hofstetter, Pauline Ewan, Betty Fiksdal, Barbara Stallcup, Florence Schuyler, Neva Barber, Georgia Sangford, Ruth Chambers, Stella Ingle, Roberta Berrien, Beryl Brunner, Clifton Volstorf, John Hall, Bur ton Osburn, and Dean Warren. Concert Offers Bach to Gould A program that ranged in mu sical history from the sombre or gan fugues of Bach to the jazz fla vor of Morton Gould was the treat offered a large audience attending the free concert the University of Oregon band directed by John Stehn gave in the music auditor ium Sunday afternoon. The feeling Johann Sebastian Bach embodied in the "Prelude and Fugue in G Minor,” which the or-1 chestra played, was very different ly expressed than the idiom in which the "classic modernists" | speak. The short number, origin ally an organ composition, was well adapted and arranged for (Please turn to page four) 1 ROTC Ball To Be Held February 3 Chairman Herzog Appoints Aides To Handle Dance One of the two all-campus for mats set for the Igloo this term, the 1940 Military Ball is definitely scheduled for the evening of Feb ruary 3, committee heads an nounced today.

The victory, following Monday night’s 44 to 32 triumph, hoisted Coach Hobby Hobson’s crew into a tie for the leadership of the northern division with Oregon State and set the stage for a real donneybrook between the Ducks and the husky Beavers at the Ig loo Friday night. Dick “Comes Back” Oregon’s Captain Johnny Dick was back in all his glory, scoring 16 points for the night, but it was a bit of Hobson’s strategy, com bined with a tall center, six-foot, seven-inch Archie Marshik, that turned the trend of the game in Oregon’s favor. Behind 19 to 16 at halftime, the Vandal gang came out full of fire in the second half. Back in the lineup was Ron Harris, the fire brand who Coach Twogood only Monday pronounced “terribly hurt.” No one expected to see him in the game, but there he was, and hotter than hot. In five minutes Harris, the ci’ip ple, had potted four baskets and given Idaho a short-lived 24 to 22 lead. The Oregon mentor, on the alert, sent big Arch Marshik into the game at center, and moved Dick over to a forward position. Ducks Open Up Immediately, the Oregon team began to click. Marshik took care of Otis Hilton, six-foot, eight-inch center, and Dick, free from the guarding of the Idaho beanpole, began hitting the basket with amazing regularity. Matt Pavalunas’ long howitzer tied the count at 24 all, and Dick’s lay-in on a pass from Sarpola put Oregon ahead. From this point, the Ducks never were headed, as Dick, Pavvy, and Sarpola went to town. Just as on Monday night, Hilton was the big gun in the Vandal at tack, counting 11 points, but things weren’t so friendly under the basket last night for the tall Vandal center. In fact, the Ducks showed a new effectiveness at the glass boards, taking plenty of re bounds. Only 18 Personals The game was remarkably clean with only 18 personal fouls called (Please turn to page three) CAMPUS CALENDAR A meeting of the day advertis ing managers of the Emerald will be held tonight at 9 p.m. in the business office. * * * The first Anthropology club meeting of the winter term will be held in the men’s lounge of Ger linger hall at 7:30 this evening.
