Salvi Will Give Grand Program in Methodist Church at Eight O’Clock Alberto Salvi, tlie famous Italian ■ harpist, will appear before the stu dents of the University and Eugene residents tomorrow evening at 8 o’clock in the Methodist church auditorium. According to Roy Bryson, student man ager of the concert, tickets for the concert have been in great demand among down-town people, and expecta tions are that the auditorium will be even more crowded to hear the harpist than it was on the occasion rrf the last concert, when Paul Althouse, gold en Metropolitan tenor sang here. Ilarp music is not as familiar to the majority of people as is that of the piano or violin, and hence the demand for some suggestion of the compositions which will fill Salvi’s program has been so insistent since the announcement of his coming appearance here, that the harpist’s manager has forwarded to the University the following selection of compositions, from which the artist will choose many of those which will com pose his Eugene program. List Is Submitted “Fantasie Impromptu,” by Chopin, furnishes a splendid example of the field of piano literature open to harp when technical obstacles arc overcome. It is constructed in rapid pianissimo design with a contrasting melody which Mr. Salvi brings out in harmonics. This melody seems to have been predestined as the artistic fore-runner of a recent popular song. “Norwegian Ballade,” Poenitz, is a massive and fantastic selection, of the modern French school of harmonic construction, which seems to portray some legend in three divisions: The first a brilliant, majestic theme, the second a dreamy cantabile of marked legato stylo in which the melody stands siugingly prominent, and the third a lengthy finale of extremely modern col or and tremendous technical display. It ends in almost inconceivable brilliance. In the “Allegro from C Minor Con certo,” by Zabel, the allegro is the main movment and follows the usual form of first, second and third theme, florid development and then repetition of the three themes. Massive chords, exceedingly rapid forto passages of changing chromatic color with sudden ly contrasting pianisssimo effects are the outstanding features of the composi tion. “Spring Song” a Familiar Number “To Spring,” Greig-Salvi, is a tran scription of Grieg’s familiar piano num ber—a- picture of awakening spring. The transcription does not depart from the original poetic simplicity of the composition. “Spanish Dance,” Tedeski, is a fiery, lmistreus number in exceedingly rapid tempo and swaggering rhythm of typ ical color. “Italian Serenade,” Salvi, is a spon taneous and delightful number of old Italian style. The scene is Naples— overlooking the harbor. Snatches of a fisherman's song are heard. Then there is “The Music Box,” Tedeski, a short pianissimo imitation of an old-fashion ed music box, i “Tarnntelle,” Aptommns Salvo, a tre mendously brilliant number containing abnormal technical demands, has its main theme in presto tempo and is in torspersed with cadenzas of surprising brilliance. Barcarole is ropuiar in uni our In bis arrangement ol’ a popular clas sic, ‘‘Barcarole,” from Tales of Hoff nian, Mr. Salvi lias added consitlorablo, technically, to bring out the dreamy spirit of the composition. One of the outstanding pieces of the Old English school of harp literature, “Eantasie Brilliant,” by Alvas, a som ber, somewhat emotional and very melo dic theme used in many variations. "Dance des Sylphs,” Posse, is an im aginative portrayal of fairy wood nymphs dancing the minuet. “ Valse do Concert,” Salvi, a brilliant concert wait/ of irresistible rhythm is com prised of four themes developed in free style. An unusual feature is the third theme built on a sustained tremolo— an effect original with Mr. Salvi. “Humoresque" Well Rendered “Humoresque,” Dvorak-Salvi, an ar rangement of a much overworked and ill treated number, seems to find anew the idea of the composer and obliterate memories of unpleasant interpretations. "Scherzo,” a brilliant composition by Mr. Salvi himself, is full of rippling melodies and replete with sensational runs. BUYING METHODS STUDIED Advertising Class Conducts Investiga tion of Local Stores To ascertain the discrimination of the buying public of Eugene, tin* mem bers of Prof. IV. E. G. Thacher's ad veising class were detailed to the various grocery and drug stores of the citv, there to observe the manner in which the customers asked for merchan dise. The amateur research workers first became acquainted with the proprietors or clerks of the establishment, then, notebook in hand, they stayed for an hour, noting the following of each cus tomer: 1. Type of customer. (Whether man, woman or child. Of high or low type/ quality of clothes, etc.) 2. What the customer ordered. 3. What the customer got. 4. Whether customer asked for any es lycial brand of goods, indicated the Brand by the color or illustration on the package, or whether he depended upon the honesty of salesman to give him a satisfactory article. 5. If the customer indicated the desired brand, would lie accept a substitute. G. If he did not indicate choice, did salesman offer an established brand, or did he endeavor to sell unidenti fied goods. The results indicated that, while many people are careless in the choice of merchandise, the greater number fav or an advertised and well known pro duct. In every case, the merchant stated himself partial to the established brands because of the rapidity of turn over and the ease with which sales can be made. Note was taken of all University stu dents who entered the stores, and it was obvious that the students are more discriminating in the type of merchan dise they buy. The results of this experiment, along with those of other similar experiments to be carried out in the future, will be classified and used by Professor Thaeher for a magazine article. ' OREGON ESSAY CONTEST TO BE HELD THIS MONTH High Schools from Over State Will Participate; Salem Is Last Year’s Cup-Winner _ Plans are being brought forward for the Oregon History Essay contest which is to be held this month in Eugene and in which all the high schools of the state are asked to participate. This is an annual event on the Ore-1 gon campus, having been instituted by Professor John C. Almack, formerly of tho University of Oregon. A cup is offered, the winner of which is required to have won the contest for three successive years in order to keep it as a permanent trophy. Salem defin itely won the cup last year and in con sequence the English council has appro priated twenty dollars with which to purchase a suitable cup to take the place of that known as the John C. Almack cup, which was won last year. The rules for tho contest are as fol lows: Subject: A Pioneer Story (local his tory) . Source of information: Preferably not from books or published records, ex cept, to establish dates or essential facts; but from personal accounts of pioneers, family traditions, letters, unpublished records and newspapers.

Turney of tho English department, is president of the Oregon Council of English, which has charge of the contest. She has selected Miss Julia Burgess of the University of Ore gon and Miss Edna Mingus if Mon mouth to act as judges.

MAE MURRAY AT CASTLE “Beauty is health—and health is beauty.” says Mae Murray. “What ben efits the one is beneficial to the other, for the two are to my mind so closely connected that it is impossible to deal with one without considering the other. “Therefore, when 1 mention dancing as my first aid to beauty, I mean it is also my tirst aid to health. Dancing has always been an all-round solace to me. It has given me the most complete mental and physical relaxation. There is the mental joy of creation—devising new steps, expressing new emotions, liv iug other people’s lives,” Miss Murray is at present appearing at the Castle theater in “Jazzmauia,” her latest picture.

Luckey’s Jewelry Store Massachusetts Institute of Technology * SCHOOL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING PRACTICE A graduate school offering a course of study leading to the degree of Master of Science, v?ith f eld stations established at six different companies located in Bangor, Maine; Boston, Mass.; and Buffalo, M. Y. These companies produce sulphite and soda pulp, paper, caustic soda, chlorine, heavy acids end salts, sugar, coke, gas, steel, ammonia, benzol, etc. The more important operations of Chemical Engineering, as jypified by the abo^e processes, are studied systematically by means of tests and experi mental vOork on full scale plant apparatus. One of the objects of this work is to fix in the mind of the student the principles of Chemical Engineer ing and to corn?b *-=' these principles with practice. This vJork is .on-remunerative and is independent of control by the plant management, and therefore the . whole attention of the student is directed to the study of Chemical Engineering. The total number admitted to the school is limited and the students, studying and experimenting in small groups, receive individual instruction. Before admission to the School of Chemical Engineering Practice, all students must have adequate preparation in chemistry and engineering. The abie student can complete the requirements for the Master of Science degree in one and one-half years. At the present time, thirty-one colleges and universities are represented among the men attending the School of Chemical Engineering Practice and these men comprise over one-half the enrollment.
