Soprano Who Plays Leading Role
Here Monday Night Is Said to Be
Real Artist
A prima donna who is American in
both name and speech and who is tal-
ented enough to command praise from
dramatic and musical critics as "the best
Carmen since the days of Emma Calve
—this is Ixjrna Doone Jackson, who
will appear as the central figure in the
presentation of "Carmen" by the Kalph
Dunbar English Opera company at the
university auditorium Monday night
Off stage. Miss Jackson is Mrs. Ralph
Dunbar, wife of the owner of the com-
pany. They were married in 1918, both
having been in musical comedy, and
within a year after their marriage they
launched their English grand opera vent-
ure which has proved successful.
"Lorna Doone Jackson is a fiery but
altogether adorable 'Carmen.' She not
only looks the part but she sings it with
unusual artistic skill," is the way the
Cincinnati Enquirer comments on the
soprano who plays the stellar role
the grand opera which will be presented
in the auditorium by the Dunbar Eng-
lish Opera Monday night at 8 o'clock.
Miss Jackson's "Carmen" is said to
be one of the few really admirable in-
terpretations of that character; she is
a pretty little cigarette girl who has

EIGHT OUT FOR SOONER
BOOKKEEPER POSITION
Publication Board to Make Selection
From List of Applicants at
Meeting Today
The position of bookkeeper on the
1922 Sooner is a decidedly popular one
Judging from the number of candi-
dates for this position, according to a
statement Wednesday by Prof. H. H.
Herbert, chairman of the publication
board.
"If possible, each candidate should
report to the board meeting at 4:30
" Thursday afternoon for personal in-
terview," said Professor Herbert
The board will meet in Science hall at

the bookkeepers job: Charles L. Cal
vert, Frank T. Clark, Loy E. Cook,
Sylvester O. Curtis, T. Garrett Log-
an, Glenn W. I'atchett, Preston Rath-

BLACKSTONE BAR
Lloyd Noble and C. Guy Brown, at-
torneys for the plaintiff, won over
Dick Cloyd and Price Robberson, coun-
sel for the defense, in a case in torts
held before the Blackstone Bar Tuesday
night. Prof. Joseph Francis presided

PHI ALPHA DELTA
l"*hi Alpha Delta, national honorary
law fraternity, announced Wednesday
the pledging of Donald C. Darough.
Gwynn B Hill of Oklahoma City in-
vested in an Apex vacuum cleaner and
with it cleans everything from a small
rug to a down town office. He com-
plains that he does not have enough
time to devote to his increasing business.
The Apex is already well along the
road of being paid for.
One boy, who has found that work-
ing in a hamburger stand from 6 p. m.
until midnight will yield board and $1
a day, expresses his enthusiasm of the
work by saying, "Well, 1 am getting
used to it."
Some time ago there came to the Y.
M. C. A. office a call for an "exper-
ienced floor waxer." Floor waxing
had a vague but not unfamiliar sound
to the ears of a young man who was
in the office. He undertook the job
and came back and said very plainly,
"Well, I got away with it."
Learned Cooking Quickly
Another resourcemul young man re-
duced the science of cooking to a fine
art in a single afternoon. There was
a place calling for a cook and a boy
calling for a job. The two met, the boy
is doing fine and is in no danger of
being discharged through inefficiency.
There is a young lady in Soonerland
who boasts a rather novel occupation.
She is official "directress" for any out
of town agent who desires to visit all
the boarding houses, fraternities, and
sororities in Norman.
That these applicants for jobs are
good rustlers is shown by the case of
the boy who has had at least six jobs
has landed himself a job by this time.
Even Carry Union Cards
i In union brick layer" who came
to the university armed with his union
iard and the boy who came here with $6
ami now has $30 are also capable of
i]^ care of themselves. Neither need
anyone worry about the boy who
nurses" a cow for a living, nor about
his colleague who is making his dairy
oi two cows pay his way through school.
To this list of unusual and ingenious
money making schemes might be added
that of the "honor system" apple sale.
Boxes of apples equipped with cigar-
box cash drawers filled with nickles as
passing students helped themselves to
the fru.t, on their honor.
Not a cent has been lost by H G.
Henry and Skaggs Gilbert, originators
of the system.
Charles R. Heiser is paying his way
through law school by selling potato
chips.
Studes are Determined
The determination to remain in school
and the hope of eventually finding a
way to their goal, has caused a number
of Sooners to do what seems an im-
possibility to those more fortunately
situated. The boy who has lived from
the opening of the fall term till now on a
hamburger a day, has at least found a
job. Another student says lie will re-
main in school the first term if he can
earn enough money to buy one meal a
day. He is hoping for better success
the second term. Then we might men-
tion the case of the two boys who rent-
ed a room and changed it into a bache-
lor's quarters. They lwth lived the first
two weeks on $4.13. One of them lived
through the summer term on $15. The
small town of Noble is large enough
to l>oast of a young man who walks the
entire seven miles to the university
every morning and seldom misses a
class.
Experienced stenographers and stud-
ent assistants are found in all universi-
ties and Oklahoma has its full quota.
According to Secretary E. R. Kraettli,
the number of students and clerks varies
around two hundred. From fifty to
sixty-five of them are clerks. The
work of the student assistants ranges
from janitor work to teaching.
Two Thirds Work
Although the figures are not definite,
Roy Gittinger, dean of undergraduates,
estimates that fully two-thirds of the
entire enrolment is partly self support-
ing and one-fifth is wholly self support-
From what kind of families do these
people come? The answer from

The University of Oklahoma gridiron
athletes will meet the University of
Kansas warriors for the nineteenth suc-
cessive year when they clash for the
Sooner Homecoming game on Boyd
field Saturday. From 1903 until 1911
tile' Sooners lost every game they played
to the Hawkers but in 1911, Ben G.
Owen, Sooner mentor, reversed the
tables by the narrow margin of 3 to 0
on the Jays.
The kansans have defeated the Soon-
ers ten times, tied them twice and lost
to Owen's nun six times but eight of
these Hawker victories came in the days
between 1903 and 1911 when the total
enrolment of the University of Okla-
homa was les> than the present foot-
ball squad that works dai'y on Owen
field, freshman and varsity. Since 1911
the Hawks have annexed hut two vic-
tories, in 191 o and 1917, have dropped
six games and tied two with the Soon-
ers.
Five Years of Victories
During the last four years the Kan-
all authorities is the same. They come j sans have lost three clashes to the
from all k'nds of families, most of them I Sooners and tied one without taking a
from the very best. Due to the change j single Sooner pi It for the Jayhawk
in the financial status of many families ! athletic hall e>f fame.
in the last eighteen months, a great
Bennie Owen has been leading the
number of the students now supporting | Sooners in sixteen of these Sooner-
Hawker mixes and is working this week
on a set of new passes and plays to
uncork on the Clark and Lindsey coach-
ed aggregation when they open up on
Boyd field this week. The passing
game that Owen invented for the Husk-
themselves have never worked before.
That there is no class feeling in this
institution, is the answer to the question
of the social standing of self supporting
students. The fortitude of those sup-
porting themselves is looked upon by
the other students with a great deal of i ers and did not get to use is being in-
respcct and admiration. Such a spirit tensely drilled into the Sooners while
'.s natural since those who dominate | long hours of work is devoted to the
are generally from this class of stud-
ents. In canvassing the fraternities
and sororities there are found only a
very few that do not include in their
membership a number of partially or
entirely self supporting students.
Make Good Grades
The grades of these students compare
favorably with those of the other stud-
ents. The reason is very simple. These
young people know what they are here
for and are prepared to their best.
"No self supporting student has ever
been advised to leave the university for
disciplinary reasons," said Dean Ciittin-
ger Tuesday. However, I have advised
a few to leave because they were at-
tempting too much and could not do
their studies full justice."
"I have lost only one account from
a self supporting student," said S. K.
McCall, proprietor of the McCall mer-
cantile company.
From the long list of students who
depended entirely upon themselves dur-
ing their university days, a few might
be named. Olin Bell who returned to
the university after receiving a cap-
taincy in the army is now working out
defense against the Kansans formations.
Vets in Boomer Backfield
Owen called scrimmage early Wed-
nesday and worked both his first and
second string eleven against the Kan-
sans style of attack being used by the
Freshman. Freshman Mentor McDer-
mott repeated his stunt of Tuesday and
ran at quarterback with the yearlings
and Fullback Bristow, 1920 all Oklahoma
honor man from Central who i ineligi-
ble for the varsity this year, paired with
McDermott in the backfield. These two
veterans with the yearling backs special-
ly chosen to bump the Sooners gave
the Owen men more than an hour of
severe punishment with the Kansas of-
f ense.
