Dean Leeper Declares Nickel Hop 'Good Deal’ E'ean Eeeper, with friendly eyes, and smile, and unruly brown hair, leaned back in the office chair where the YMCA has tem porarily settled him, and gave his full attention to being inter viewed, frightening the reporter with, demonstrations of magic. Eeeper, traveling secretary for the Student Volunteer Movement, is on the campus for a few days to speak for the basic ideas of international cooperation and Christian friendliness on which the SVM is based. World Missions The Student Volunteer move ment for World Missions is an undenominational organiza t i o n which contacts students in estab lished religious groups like the Y, to spread its dual plans, to cre ate awareness in American stu dents of their responsibility in the post-war reconstruction and world wide Christianity, and to train college youth for such lead ership, Kean Keeper became affiliated with this organization when he gr -dilated from the University of Illinois last year. Since October lie lias visited Cl colleges in 12 states. He was a member of three scholastic honoraries at school, president of the YMCA (which completed a $300,000 building during his time in office. He is also talented in magic, and—won der of wonders—rides a unicycle. (Use the dictionary.) Since he arrived on the cam pus, Leeper has spoken at a YWCA cabinet meeting, in Dr. Means’ life objectives class, at an open meeting to discuss the Stu dent Volunteer Movement, and the Nickel Hop (although not much speaking was involved there). When asked his impressions of the U. of O., he said that he was surprised to see so much green grass so early. (He is from the grain (soy-bean) belt — (he wouldn't admit it was corn). His other outstanding impression was that the Nickel Hop is a “good deal,’’ and should be started on other campus.es.

The nation-wide survey made by Dr. Alvan E. Duerr of the Manufacturers Trust company of New York City, included the scholastic records of more than 75,000 undergraduate members of the 2,389 chapters belonging to 60 national fraternities estab lished at 180 colleges and uni versities. When fraternity men passed unorganized men in schol arship for the first time in 1929 1930, there were only 125 insti tutions which furnished scholas tic records covering 60,000 frater nity members. Average Rating The average rating of all fra ternities throughout the country for the academic year 1940-1941 is .036 per cent above the com posite all-men's average of their institutions, states the report. The margin, however, is the nar rowest since 1929-1930. This might be due, Dr. Duerr points out, to disturbed conditions re sulting from the national emer gency, as no previous survey had revealed so many complete re versals of form between semes ters on the part of individual chapters. In the Pacific coast states, Oregon State leads with a ten per cent average above the all men’s average and with only two of the 20 chapters on this cam pus below. Campus leader is Sig ma Phi Epsilon with 35 per cent above average and 15 per cent above the closest runner-up fra ternity. The schools listed in this area are: California, UCLA, Occident al, Oregon, Oregon State, South ern California, Stanford, Wash ington, Washington State, and Whitman. Young Artists Plan Recital Everett Fulton, pianist, and William Shisler, violinist, who will be piesented in recital on Sunday, at 4 p.m. in the music school auditorium, have consid erable musical experience behind them even though they are sttil high school students. William Shisler, 15, has re ceived high honors in state and national music contests. A year ago he went to Los Angeles and played in an orchestra composed of the outstanding- high school musicians in the country. He now plays first chair violin fox1 the Eugene high school orchestra and plays first violin with the Junior Symphony. Everett Fulton, 15, attended the state and national contests as accompanist for the Eugene soloists entered in the contests. At both contests he received the highest honors possible on each one of the accompaniments. He is at present accompanist for the Eugene high school a capella choir and orchestra. He is also church pianist for the Lighthouse Temple. He has also done solo work with the Junior Symphony. Gleemen to Sing Here The Eugene Gleemen will hold their annual mid-May concert on the evening of Sunday, May 17, at McArthur court, John Stark Evans, director of the chorus, an nounced Wednesday. Their programs will include new pieces and several request numbers, Mr. Evans said. Dr. Erb Given Draft Number Registers T11214 No all clear signal was sound ed. It has been so long since Eu gene heard an alarm that it was feared the citizenry would head for the Rockies en masse. But, now, with all the blare of brass the Emerald can muster, it hereby announces: Dr. Donald M. Erb, president of the University, is temporarily out of danger. Se lective service calls him No. T11214. He’ll not be drafted for a while, anyway. Modern Icelandic is to be taught at the University of Wisconsin. McCosh Painting Bought by Red Cros?
