SMIIT-M PIECE
Concerto in G-Minor To Be
Rendered by Hopkins
Friday Night
The name, George Paynter Hopkins,
suggests to music folk a brilliant pianist
anil one who is gradually building for
himself an enviable reputation for his
ability to constructively interpret piano
forte music. His reputation does not
rest upon the fact that he studied for a
summer in Paris under Moskowski, nor
in Baltimore with Harold Bandolph.
Studying with people does not produce
genius, it develops it, and this is what
George Hopkins has been doing since he
first studied music.
It was when he was 15 years old that
he first played Saint-Saens concerto in
G minor, which he is playing Friday night
with the University Symphony orchestra,
when they give their annual home con
cert. A concerto, a composition written
for a single instrument, with orchestral
accompaniment, is considered one of the
most brilliant and popular of any played
on the stage today. “It is brilliant,”
Mr. Hopkins said, “and there is not a
dull, moment in it. It is interesting from
start to finish, but its brilliance is its
most outstanding feature.”
Orchestration From New York
“Considerable difficulty was exper
ienced in getting orchestrations of the
concerto, because it is a foreign publi
cation. They are not printed in large
numbers, and are usually owned by art
ists who have libraries of their own, or
by music libraries which rent them to peo
ple to use them. That is how we were
able to get the orchestrations from a
New York firm.
“The concerto is of three movements.
The first has broad tonal qualities, it
is powerful, stupendous, and overcast by
a richness and wealth of imagination. A
light scherzo characterizes the second
movements. The concerto is closed with a
fast, brilliant movement, which is partic
ularly effective and appropriate.”
Composition Is Picturesque
Camille Saint-Saens, tlio composer of
the concerto, is considered one of the
greatest of French musicians, and he is
famous for his piano and chamber music,
his orchestral and choral works. He has
systematically followed Liszt’s lead in the
form of the symphonic poem, as he has
that of Rerlioz in orchestration, of which
ho shows himself a complete master. He
is one of the few Fronclirnen who have
made a study of Bach and he is said to
have competed most successfully with
German composers. These men natural
ly influenced his compositions, and de
veloped his masterly and effective dnai »<7
with music. Ho has a quick ear for
picturesqueness of detail and manages to
beautifully elaborate upon and combine
melody and harmony.
The music of France, like the music of
other countries, is representative of the
development, of that country, and por
trays the life and emotions of the people
during the period in which it was written.
For several years before Saint-Saons
* wrote, French composers had confined
themselves almost entirely to writing
operas, and he was one of the leading
currents in a new period of music, which
was to lie distinguished for its orches
tral compositions. It was when this per
iod was at its heighth that Saint-Saons
wrote the concerto in G minor, which is
considered one of the best examples of
that time in the history of Frneh music.
FRENCH GIRL IS GIVEN
SCHOLARSHIP BY CO-EDS
American Council of Education Praises
.Action Taken by Woman’s League;
Offer First on Coast
> ___
Word lias been received by the for
eign scholarship committee of the Wo
men’s league that the offer of a schol
arship to a foreign student has been
accepted, and plans will be made at
once to select a French girl of college
age to take advantage of the offer.
Correspondence has been carried on
with (’. K. Mann, of the American coun
cil of education, by Miriam Swartz,
chairman of the scholarship committee.
Air. Maun heartily commended the
work of the University id' Oregon Wo
men’s league in raising such a fund,
and congratulated the organization as
being the first in any college on the
Pacific coast to offer such a scholar
ship.
The fund is now practically complete,
and the $500 scholarship will be used
next year, if arrangements can be made
in that time. Alias Henrietta Thomp
son, secretary of the foreign relations
work for the Pacific coast V. W. P. A.,
and who was a visitor on the campus
the first part of the week, commended
the raising of such a fund, and said
the motive behind’ a project of this
sort was excellent. She said there
was no doubt as to the success of the
undertaking.
TARANTULA GIVES THRILL
Poisonous Spider Shipped in on Bunch
of Bananas Frightens Cooks
A miniature tarantula direct from
the tropics created considerable excite
ment in the Friendly hall kitchen Sat
urday morning when the poisonous lit
tle insect fell front its secluded hiding,
place in a largo bunch of bananas to
the floor. Mr. F. E. Price of the Table
Supply Company was almost as fright
ened as the cooks, when the venomous
spider appeared. Price had reasons
for being alarmed duo to the fact that
he had carried the bauauas into the
kitchen on his shoulder while the tar-.
antula remained in the eluster. As soon’
as the fruit had been hung to the usual
place the spider dropped to the floor.
One of the cooks procured a stove wood
stick and proceeded to end the life of
the tarantula.
An interesting superstition among,
the natives in the coutry where the;
tarantula is found is that if any one.
is bitten by the poisonous insect the j
only way in which they can be cured.
is by dancing long and as fast as possi
ble until they drop exhausted to the ^
ground. Unfortunately this method of,
treatment is unsatisfactory.
REGISTRATION AND LAB
FEES DUE UNTIL MAY 7
E. P. Lyon, Cashier, Emphasizes Im
portance of Early Payment; Penalty
For Non-Payment Heavy
From Monday, April 23 until May 7
is the time allotted for payment of reg
istration and laboratory fees. The first
day’s payments came in very slowly,
according to E. P. Lyon, cashier.
Th change which makes both regis
tration and laboratory fees payable at
the same time was instituted for the
benefit of the students according to
Mr. Lyon. Formerly when the two
sets of fees were paid separately stu
dents had some difficulty in remember
ing their laboratory fees had not been
paid and a great many delinquencies
resulted. This was used as an alibi
by the delinquents in almost every
case but under the system now in force
no alibis will be accepted.
Nobody will have an excuse under
the present sytem for not paying his
fees because everyone realizes that he
has not paid any at all and will there
fore have no cause for becoming con
fused, as under the old system. The
registrar’s) office wishes to impress
upon everyone the importance of pay
ing'early so as to avoid the last minute
congestion.
All fees must be in by 3 o’clock on
May 7. The business office is open un
til only 3 o ’clock each day and the
cashier wishes to have it understood
that those who wait until the last min
ute to pay their fees may find them
selves unable to do so an account of the
rush.
There will be no notices to delin
quents this term nor will it be possible
for those who are delinquent to get off
by paying a fine of a dollar as was
possible under the old system. Any
students who have not paid by 3 o’clock
on May 7 will bo summoned before the
foe committee and dealt with as that
committee sees fit.
The registrar’s office regards two
weeks as ample time for all students to
liay their foes.
PREPPERS OF OREGON
ENTER ESSAY CONTEST
Cup Goes to School with Best Written
Paper; Thirty Manuscripts Have
Already Been Received
Lawrence K. Shumaker of the En
glish department reports that about
.10 essays from the high school students
of tlie state have been received for the
Oregon Council of English contest. The
council purchased a cup which is now
on exhibition in the University library
to be awarded to the school which wins
the contest for three consecutive years.
This contest was first instituted by
John C. Alrnack of the extension divi
sion who bought a cup about three
years ago to be given to the school
which should win the “Know Oregon”
contest three years in succession. Last
year the Salem high school won the cup
permanently.
The Oregon Council of English be
calm1 interested and at a meeting in
Portland last Christmas vacation they
decided to purchase- another cup. The
contest is now known as the “Oregon*
Council of English” contest. In many
of the schools local contests are held
and the first and second best inanu-:
scripts are sent to the stato contest.)
Miss Julia Burgess of the University of
Oregon and Miss Edna Mingus of the!
state normal school are the judges.!
Mr. Shumaker, who is secretary of the
j organization, has charge of keeping the
papers in order, since they are uni
dentified until the final decision is
made. The names are in small envelopes
so when the paper is being judged the
identity of the writer is unknown.
The contestants are urged to collect
their material from the stories that old
settlers tell rather than from books, of
historical statistics.
FOREST PROTECTION
WEEK TO BE OBSERVED
Botany Students Will Hear Lecture by
Albert Weisdanger, government
Service Official
The week of April -1 to -S is Forest
I roteetion Week, by proclamation of
1 resident Harding. In his resolution,
the governors ot the states are urged to
set apart this week and citizens, teach
ers, public officers, and the press are
1 asked ”to unite in thought and effort
for the preservation of the nation’s for
est resources by conducting appropri
ate exercises and programs.” The pro
clamation requests also that Arbor Day
tall within this week, if possible.
In connection with the Forest Pre
servation Week in Eugene, N. F. Mae- i
dutf, supervisor of the Cascade national
forest, has arranged for Albert Wies
i danger, of the United States Forest Ser
vice, to give an illustrated lecture Wed
nesday to the school children in the
new armory. Mr. Wiesuanger will also '
give a lecture with slides to Prof. Al- ■
bert B, Sweetser ’s classes in the botany I
department, Wednesday evening at 7:3*0
in Villard hall.
FROSH ARE LINING UP
FOR INITIAL STRUGGLE
Opening Game Scheduled With
Columbia This Week-end
Freshman ball tossers are putting
in their final practice this week in
preparation for the official opening of
the yearlng season this week-end. Two
games with the Columbia University
nine of Portland Friday and Saturday
will start the yearlings’ schedule.
The loss of Hank Schafer, promising
first-sacker, who sustained a broken
ankle in a game with the varsity last
week, was a hard blow to the frosh and
may lessen their offensive and defen
sive strength considerably. Schafer
was one of the main cogs in a decidedly
smooth-working infield and his batting
prowess was not to be sneered at. His
loss puts Jimmy Scripture to the fore
as the most jfromising candidate for the
initial bag. Scripture has not shown
the fielding ability of his injured team
mate but his batting during the past
few days has been of first rate order.
If he continues to improve in fielding
indications are that Scripture will go
a long wray toward filing the shoes of
Schafer. A week’s practice before the
Columbia games should put him in good
trim.
In other respects the first year nine
is well fitted for a successful season.
Harrison and Lefty Carson, the two
premier twirlers, have continued to
puzzle the varsity batters in the daily
games and neither has been touched
for many safe hits. The catching staff
has been bolstered by the turnout of
Jack Bliss, a California high school
product. Bliss is an ideal build for a
good backstop and in the last few
workouts has shown himself capable
of catching at least a fair percentage
of the 'season’s games. The outfield
trio of Frame, Terrill and Toole seems
well able to fulfill the fly-chasing roles,
and every one is a fairly good hitter.
The infield is strong with Hobson at
third, Slade, short, Bittner, second and
Scripture, first.
In four tilts with the varsity thus
far the babes liavo copped three, the
last game by a one-sided score of 10-3.
JOURNALISM TALK TODAY
Professor Ralph D. Casey Will Lecture
Before Practical Ethics Class
Professor Ralph D. Casey, of the
University school of journalism, will
speak to the practical ethics class today
at 2:15 in Yillard hall, on the opportun
ities open to women in journalism work.
His talk will deal with those phases
of journalistic work aside from straight
newswriting. Mr. Casey has recently
had a year’s work on New York papers
and had a chance to see the groater op
portunities for women in newspaper
work in the east. He has also been a
member of the faculty at universities
in Washington, Montana, California,
and as he is now connected with the
trade journalism work at this Univer
sity, his talk will be of unusual inter
est, because it is that field of jour
nalism which offers some of the great
est opportunities for women.
Professor Casey’s talk is the second
one on vocational guidance to be given
to the freshmen women of the ethics
class. Last week President P. L.
Campbell spoke on the worthwhile
things in college. Other talks on vo
cational guidanco will be given during
the term.

RADIO SET DEDICATED
AT SCHOOL OF MUSIC
Many Hear Instrument for First Time
At Broadcasts from Portland
and San Francisco
Sponsoring a new type of open house,
the music school last night dedicated
its new Forest receiving set before a
group of more than 100 persons. The
two magnavoxes, one mounted in the
auditorium and the other in an oppo
site classroom, brought in programs
from Olson’s dance orchestra at Port
land to a political lecture at Telegraph
Hill in San Francisco.
From the general trend of the con
versation in the audience one would
infer that a majority of the listeners
had never heard a radiophone before.
Rev. Bruce J. Giffen, student pastor,
declared radio is certainly a wonderful
thing and that it was his1 first exper
ience. When asked if he would choose
a radio in preference to a phonograph
of the same value, he said, “I would
choose the radio any time.”
In response to the same question John
Siefert of the school of music declared,
“I might trade it for some phonographs
but not for mine.”
The voice of a woman singing from
Los Angeles Times station could be
heard, but the articulation was not
clear. Mr. Siefert said that he could
not tell in what language she was sing
ing. ,
One youth in the audience became
angry and doubled up his fists ready to
fight, when in a political speech deliver
ed in San Francisco, the speaker de
clared “Frisco is goining to beat the
whole United States in the matter of
securing the 1924 political conventions
of the two great parties.” The youth
ful warrior with his Oregon spirit look
ed disgusted because he was not able
to reply to the Californian.
