Students wanted to know where the money was going and how. At the University of Oregon Earl M. I’al lett, registrar and chairman of the educational activities board, which administers the concert series and other educational activities, acted as offieal spokesman, releasing in the Em erald an interview tolling about the local viewpoint on the new stuation, explaining what was going to happen to the money. Through all this not much was heard from the slate college on the subject, except , through student executive declarations that the move had been as sudden and unexpected there as here, and that they thought the $2 fee covered student body membership also. * * YESTERDAY, however, the Barometer man aged to get something said remarkably well, through the medium of a regular column headed “From 1 lie Hole in the Wall (Mas querading as a letter to the editor).” From here on in (he story belongs to the Hole in the Wall, which makes itself perfectly clear: From the Hole in the Wall hows to (he concert series and its take-it-or-leave-it presentations. Truly it is the lace-adorned wrist from which student pulse is taken. The minority attendance at the last pro gram is not a cancellation of student ap proval of concert series, it is merely a postponement of approval. The series as proposed and presented actually rolls art over a barrel. The old in music holds sway and fills Ihc entire an nual concert series—none of the new is offered—no representation of the new ness in our civilization. The series schnl- ' ulers of 080 make up the arm that stretches out from the campus to connect us with the glory of the past and the ques tions of the future. We wonder if those who select the tal ent for this campus would he the type that would die of thirst rather than slop at a barroom. Or would they seek the family entrance? All that is fine in art and music stu dents need, some of them demand. But art did not die with the eighteenth cen tury, nor should it ever die. Then why a concert series that overlooks the present and the future ? * * =x= rJ’vlIl! remarks from the Hole in the Wall seem particularly immediate in view of 1he fact that the ^educational activities board will meet Wednesday night to determine most of what will be on the concert program next year. Not long after the meeting contracts will be signed, and then it will be too late to expect that next year will be any different from any other year. The Hole in the Wall makes a sound point in its dist inct ion between the old and the new. It could hardly be said better. And the men tion of minority attendance at programs can be further amplified by local figures, which, by careful check, reveal that the average stu dent attendance at concerts is 40 per cent of the student body. The student body has ranged around 07 per cent of enrollment, so the attendance would be 40 per cent of 07 per cent, or about 27 per cent of the enrolled undergraduates. That will not be enough under required fees; majority support for minority functions will stand on different ground under required fees. # # # BOOKING a series is no easy job. In fact it is. a maddening, thankless job. If (lie board were to take a chance and not sign its ■whole series now it might lose out oil some of them. Boards cannot always sign what they want, lor there are special considerations of money and datin'?. But they owe it to their constituents to represent them and a “concert series that overlooks the present and the fu ture in lavor of the past is not represen tative. Tlie Barometer's Hole in the Wall has managed to put the finder on the reason that, in view ol the laet that next year's program. " ill be financed out of required fees instead ol oplionals, Wednesday's meeting of the ac tivities hoard will be the most important one in some years. The BAND BOX By BILL, MOXLEY Mr. («. on Top to Stay The uir waves have seemed strangely silent the last few weeks without Benny Goodman giving forth. Benny lost his sponsor recently hut it’s a safe bet to say that the King of Swing will he back on the air again in a short while. Benny seems to have garnered himself the top spot for good. Other bands may come and go, and people may talk about the down fall of swing music, but when the final vote is counted, Mr. G. is always leading the parade. Benny was born on Chicago's west side of simple, harji work ing parents who loved music. They had to pinch pennies and continually deprive themselves so that little Benny could have a musical education. But how that education took! By the time he was eleven years old the little boy was acclaimed a child prodigy. In 1934 Benny organ ized his first band and led the way in introducing a new era in American music. Since he has been on the lop, Benny ha < kept up his high standards of per formance and today is recog nized as a true jars immortal. More Popular Appeal in Series Best idea of the year i i to put Borne artists on our ASUO con cert series with a hltle more popular appeal: Good ballets and choirs arc swell and the caliber of performers represent* ing these arts has been exceed ingly high.

Hut there arc also other artists who stand at the top in lieu fields, and in addition, have t r e m e n d <> u s popularity and drawing power. Alec Templeton "i Kenny tloodinan could prob ably do fairly well in filling the Igloo and giving student- their money's worth.

Whit the Mike llul Jean Sah.on, that Frenchman with the heart-fluttering mas eulinitv ;r t>ia i - ■ ■ • . laded to iuo homeland to help war, and all the things that go with it, was the manner in which the University folk gave way to their feelings when the news reached the campus that Ger many had signed the armistice and peace had come to the world. Sirens on tlie fire engines awakened the students at an early hour and when on about the third round of the town the students realized that something bigger than a fire had happened, they awakened for good, pulling' others out of bed with the news that Germany had surrendered. “Men who have forfeited all claim In being called human'' At a celebration assembly the next day Dean Straub said, “Hereafter the world is to be absolutely free; autocracy has been found wanting and has been condemned. As victors we could afford to be generous if we were fighting human beings, but since we are fighting men who have forfeited all claim to being called human, we have the light to feel glad that a na tion will now be destroyed." with the war. Unfortunately, the handsome Mr. Sablnn failed mis erably in his physical examina tion.

Dean Gilkey will be on the campus Sunday.) By BURT BROWN BARKER Charles W. Gilkey, dean of the Rockefeller Memorial chapel of the University of Chicago, has to be brilliant in orcier to keep up with his wife. She is a niece of the late Dr. Gunsaulus, who was the Beech er of Chicago. Young Gilkey, on graduating from Harvard, became the student secretary of the International YMCA, and his future wife, on graduating from the University of Chicago, became secretary of the YWCA there. Turns to Theology Mr. Gilkey then turned his at tention to theology and after grad uating from the Union Theological seminary continued his studies in Berlin, Marburg, Glasgow, Edin burgh, and Oxford. On being ordained a Baptist minister, he was at once called and came as a young bachelor to the Hyde Park Baptist church in the shadows of the University of Chi cago. There he soon met the tal ented niece of Rev. Gunsaulus while she was the YWCA secretary and married her. »* nuv. vv cio i umnu^ 1110 ijUUU/U, his wife was running the family, and, passing through all the of fices of the YWCA she finally be came the national president. Becomes Dean He resigned his one and only pastorate and became dean of the Rockefeller Memorial chapel at the University of Chicago in 1928 af ter a pastorate of 18 years. In ad dition to teaching in the Divinity school, he became the peripatetie university preacher at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Toronto, Wellesley, Stanford; delivered the widely known Barrow’s lectures in the university centers of India and became between times, a trustee of the University of Chicago. While he was busying himself in these pursuits, Mrs. Gilkey was continuing her work on various and sundry boards and committees of the YWCA and the Federal Council of Churches. He boasts his Phi Beta Kappa and she matches him with her Mortar Board mem bership. They joined about an equal num ber of clubs and yet raised and ed ucated a son and a daughter who are now trying to see if their shoes are yet large enough to fill the footprints of their parents. Purchasing Agents To Sponsor Student Essay Contest An essay contest on the subject of purchasing, open to any regu larly enrolled, full-time student in a university having a school of business administration, is being sponsored by the National Asso ciation of Purchasing Agents. The essay must be in to the judges by August 1, 1940 and must not have more than 50 typewritten pages. It will be judged on the originality and the reasoning pow er of the thought, the use of source material, the organization, and the English grammar. Further details may be secured from the office of the school of business administration. janei Dmnn mows Increase in Jobs Speaking before the weekly luncheon of the Eugene chamber of commerce, Miss Janet Smith, employment secretary, yesterday gave Eugene business men figures regarding the increase of the num ber of odd jobs furnished Oregon j students through the University |. employment service. In 1933, with an enrollment of 2,511, there were only 143 odd jobs j received, through the bureau. Last j spring term, with enrollment in- j creased to 3,018, University stu dents were given 3,141 jobs in Eu gene. This means 2,988 more jobs in five years. Miss Smith pointed out that these figures excepted the work j done for room and board and also the NYA positions. ‘ t'i FIRST METHODIST CHURCH invites You to 1 leaf f ■ 1>K\N ( II Vr.LKS hlLKtA University of Chicago II :U0 a.oi., Sunday * _1 This Week’s Church News By BETTY JANE THOMPSON Although regularly scheduled services, both morning and evening, and a few student groups will be held in local churches this week end, church individuality is being subordinated to the collective in terest in the visit of Charles W.
