Editor Knight Issues New Oreganas Yearbooks Now Ready For Delivery Books Prepared For Students at McArthur Court Climaxing- a year of concen trated and steady work for Editor George Knight, Activities Mana ger George Root, and the whole Oregana staff, the first copies of the 1940 edition will be distrib uted from McArthur court today. Starting at 8 a.m. Dick Wil liams, business manager, will su pervise the work of delivering the 2300 books to those students and faculty members who have already placed their order. Distribution will continue to noon and then from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. Those that do not pick their books up today may do so on Thursday during the same hours and from the same place. After Thursday, no books will be given out until the following Monday. The book this year has includ . ed in it most of the features that were displayed in last year’s edi tion. The cover is decidedly dif ferent, though, and those that have previewed the book say that it is the most beautiful ever to be produced by an Oregana edi tor. Orders are being taken every day from those that have not yet purchased the book. The full price of $5.50 must be paid to or der an Oregana at the present time, and the purchaser must go on a waiting list. If the order cannot be filled, the money will be refunded. Those wishing to place their order may do so to day by contacting Dick Williams at McArthur court. Research Done By Dr. Sheldon Gleanings from newspapers such as the Portland Oregonian, the Oregon Journal, the Eugene Register-Guard, from magazines and official sources of informa tion which would take months or years for an individual to find are being classified by Dr. Henry D. Sheldon, research professor of history and education. The author of “The history of the University of Oregon,” Dr. Sheldon is arranging his source material, as copied verbatim, by years and sources of information. It will be put in the files on the third floor of the library this summer. “If anyone should want to work up any point of history, they’ll know just where to find the information. It is a very val uable piece of local history,” said Dr. Sheldon in explaining the ob ject of his classification. Three Take Trip To Wallowa Peaks Three men under the supervi sion of Dr. Warren D.

PEERLESS Hand Laundry 1331 Alder St. Ph. 539 Opera Singer Is Guest Artist Music Honorary Concert Features Austrian Virtuoso An opera star of the first mag nitude, Mme. Gertrud Bender Rosenstock, will be guest artist for members of Mu Phi Epsilon, national honor society for upper class women in music, when they present their annual concert Thursday night at 8:15 o’clock in the music auditorium. No admis sion will be charged. Mme. Bender has been in Eu gene for three months, having come to the United States from Berne, Switzerland. She left Aus tria with her husband, Josef Ro senstock, when the Anchluss came to Vienna. Her colorful ca reer includes starring roles in the European premieres of almost a score of modern-day operas. Because her song favorites are from Puccini and Mozart, she will sing an aria from each of their operas. Outstanding among these is expected to be “Un bel di ve dremo” (“One Fine Day”) from “Madame Butterfly,” the Puccini opera she sang in a command performance before the Ameri can forces during the occupation of the Rhineland after the war. From Mozart’s "Marriage of Figaro” Mme. Bender will sing the recitative and aria from Act 3, which begins “Yes, at length is the moment.” Other numbers will be “If there were Dreams to Sell” by John Ireland, “Moon light at Night” by Robert Schu mann, and “How Much I Love You” by Frank La Forge. Mu Phi Epsilon^ members also taking part in the concert will be Catherine Miller, Charlotte Plum mer, Mollie Small Hardin, Jane Hall, Madge Conaway Chilcote, Mary Booth, Marjorie Scobert, and Lora Teshner Ware, profes sor of cello.

Yes terday, Ty was elected to the highest ASUO post on the cam pus—the position of student body president for the 1940-41 school year. Payne ascends to office follow ing a home-town boy who also made good—John Dick, basket ball star from The Dalles. And it was largely because of Dick that the new president came to Ore gon—for he followed Dick to the campus and to the same frater nity house. For three years Payne has paid his own way after receiving' a University loan that enabled him to pledge his first year and he spent little time opening a place for him in school activities. His first term on the campus, Tiger entered the political circle as president of the freshman class. Since then his time has been one round of University work af ter another. For two years he has been a member of the Co-op board and last fall directed ASUO card sales as drive chairman. Payne is a member of Alpha Delta Sigma, national advertising honorary, Skull and Dagger, sophomore men’s honorary, and he is in charge of a terrace dance for this year’s Junior Weekend.
