The sixty-voice A Capclla choir, under the direction of Dr. Melius Christiansen, will leave Its campus this week end for a month's tour of the midwest and Pacific coast. This will bo Its first appearance in Eugene. Membership In the choir at St. Olaf college is a great, if not greater honor than a position on the lending athletic teams at most American schools. Students are attracted from all sections ot the nation to try for places on the choir. Herman Dcvrles, writing In the Chicago American last year, de clared that "The St. Olaf choir may change its vestments and personnel from time to time, but it ever remains 'The Great Mixed Choir' of the decade. The virtues of the St. Olafians are too well known to dwell upon anew they stand unrivaled in a field where choral bodies arc legion." Tickets for the Eugene appear ance of the choir will be placed on sale Monday at the associated stu dent ticket office in McArthur court.

F. of L. restaurant employees' union announced Saturday that It would extend fraternal greetings to the tale C. I.

Signature of participant .... Professor Cornish Pays Because Coincidence Plays Trick On Him It was only circumstantial evl dence, but it convicted an inno cent man. N, H. Cornish, professor of busi- ness administration at the Uni versity of Oregon, received notice from the city of Eugene that he had committed an overtime park ing offense. He didn't think he was guilty but paid the fine anyway. Search into records revealed this story: The ticket was issued to a Chevrolet bearing license number, 6-566. Notice was sent to Profes sor Cornish whose license number was 6-566, but he had a Dodge. The rub was that the guilty 6-566 was a 1030 number. The professor's number was from 1040 plates. Police Judge Cal Bryan said the council would take action Monday to return the dollar fine. The real overtime parker was Ole F. Chris- tensen, Rt. 4, Eugene.
