PLEASES AUDIENCE
Piano and Song Numbers Given
By School of Music at
Methodist Church
By John B. Siefert
George Paynter Hopkins, of the
school of music, played an interesting
and highly pleasing piano recital Wed
nesday evening in the Methodist church
auditorium and he was most ably as
sisted by Edyth Ernst Hopkins, so
prano.
The program opened with Beethov
en’s Sonata, opus 31, number 3, and
Mr. Hopkins played the entire sonata
with but brief pauses between the four
movements, thus preserving the contin
uity of the composition. A crisp tone,
coupled with fine technique, marked
his splendid reading of the work, and
very generous applause rewarded his ef
forts.
Mrs. Hopkins followed this opening
number by singing two delightful songs,
“Bonjour Suzon,” Eelibas and “L’Es
clave,” Lalo. Tschaikowsky’s highly
dramatic aria, “Adiou Forets” from
Jeanne d’Arc completed the group. The
delightful tripping melody of the first
song, and the note of abandonment in
the second were carefully brought out
by the singer, while she rose to a fine
climax in the aria. Her voice was
equal to all the demands of the numbers
she chose to sing. For her second ap
pearance four songs in English were
given; Roger’s lovely “At Parting,”
Iiuerter’s highly modern “Never the
Nightingale” and two numbers by our
own John Stark Evans, “Just Been
Wond’ring,” which had its first hear
ing, and which pleased immediately,
and his very popular “A Spring Love
Song” sung at various times recently.
To this group was added “Ilayfields
and Buttorflies” by Eel Riego.
Mr. Hopkins introduced to us Schu
bert’s “Moment Musical,” in a new
gown designed by Ornstein. It was
an interesting creation. Three DebuB
sy numbers, “The Snow is Dancing,”
played in a fascinating manner, “The
Little Shepherd,” with its mystic, fai
ry-like calls, “Golliwog’s Cake Walk,”
with its almost “raggy” swing, and
Moszkowski’s “Grand Yalse do Con
cert,” played in a brilliant fashion
brought unstinted applauso from the
appreciative audience. David Guion’s
rrrangement of “Turkey in the Straw,”
was added as an encoro.
The program closed with Jenson’s
“The Dryad,” Schumann’s almost sad,
but lovely “Romance in F major,” and
an exceedingly well played “Etuuo de
Concert” by Sehlozer. Mendelssohn’s
“Hunting Song,” was given an as on
core and rounded out. splendidly a de
lightful recital.
PRUETT PLANS TO GIVE
METEOROLOGY COURSE
Prof. Warren D. Smith May Follow
Witli Climatology Instruction; Both
Have Had Experience With Subjects
A three-hour accommodation course
in meteorology will be given next term
by J. llugli Pruett, professor of phys
ics, possibly followed in the spring by
a course in climatology given by Dr.
Warren D. Smith, head of the geology
department. After this year the course
will bo a permanent one.
The material included in the winter
term’s work will be the general condi
tions of the atmosphere, the use of
weather-bureau instruments, the study
of storms and their prediction. The
electricity of the air, with u study of
lightning and the northern lights will

the weather. The text will be Milham’s
“Meteorology.” The hours the subject
will be scheduled will be known at the
beginning of the winter term. The pre
requisite is one year of high school
physics or its equivalent in college.
Considerable experience gives Mr.
Pruett a background for the study. At
one time he was with the Seattle wea
ther bureau office. During the greater
part of the war he was in charge of the
Paris station of the meteorological sec
tion of the signal corps which did the
''usual work of the United States’ wea
ther bureau, and air work besides. Hy
drogen balloons were used for learning
the direction of the wind at higher
levels for the aviation and artillery,
and general weather predictions were
made for the army.
Mr. Smith has traveled extensively
and studied climatic conditions. He
is especially familiar with the Phil
ippine Islands and is an authority on
typhoons.
UNIVERSITY DEPOT IS
USEFUL DEPARTMENT
Materials Carried in Campus Supply
Station Satisfy Wide Range
of Demands
Pram small nails and screws to var
nish and rope in the hardware line,
from soap and lye to mops and buckets
for the janitors and from 10 to 500 watt
lamps in electrical supplies, represent
in part the variety of materials carried
in the University supply depot at the
rear of the U. of O. post office. Sup
plies are kept on hand not only for the
janitors but also for plumbers, electri
cians,'carpenters and workmen at odd
jobs of many kinds.
Much time is saved by carrying a
large variety of supplies especially such
articles as are used often or like
ly to break easily. In addition to the
regular amount of supplies carried,
there is quite a unique collection of
what Mr. H. M. Fisher, superintendent
of grounds, calls “junk.” In this ag
gregation may bo found old material,
things awaiting disposal and articles
that may have been taken from the
department of the school to be used
elsewhere.

INDIAN STUDENT
LIKES AMERICANS
American Cooking Better Than
That in Orient Is Opinion
of Kanshi Ram
Whether the proportion of little boys
suffering from Christmas stomach aches
in India would be comparbale to the
number so afflicted in America is bound
| to be very largely a matter of conjec
ture, but Kanshi Ram, Indian student at
the University, seems to think that In
dia would have the lead. He bases his
idea on the fact that American cocking,
in his opinion, is superior to Indian. He
thinks this is due to the fact that the
American cook by cook-books and the
Indians by tradition. They have “pud
dings and candies” for Christmas just
as we do, says Kanshi Ram; but they
don’t taste the same, he adds. He is fur
ther of the opinion that one of the rea
sons that our food tastes differently
is because the ingredients are more care
fully proportioned.
The difference in the usual holiday
“goodies” is not the only difference
between the Christmas that the Hindus
celebrate and that which we celebrate.
December 25 in India is a national holi
day, set aside by the English, but the
real festivities that correspond to our
Yuletido occur in April.
Eor seven days in the month of April
the Hindu has sacred services and social
entertainment in honor of his gods Rama
and Krishna. Thie sacred books are
read in the temples and in the streets
while professional dancers and enter
tainers make merry for the crowds.
The nearest approach to a Christmas
tree that the Hindus have would be the
sacred “couches” which are placed in
the streets and on which there are dis
played pictures of Rama and Krishna,
attired in gorgeous robes. They do not
have these couches in the homes, but
they have a “clean, scrubbed place, sup
■iHiniHiBiiiiaMiaiiiiiiiHiBiiiiHiiiiiBUiiiaiiiiii
posed to be sanctified” on which they
stand figures of the gods.
Just as our Christinas brings back
home relatives and friends and prodigal i
sons, so in India the April festivities
serve as family reunions. Gifts are ex
changed, at this time, among friends and
relatives. Although the customs are dif
ferent, the spirit is the samg.
