ML CONCERT
ILL RECEIVED
John B. Siefert’s Advanced
Students Give Recital
SONG CYCLE IS PRAISED
Excerpts from Operas Given
by Campus Artists
By E. C.
“In a Persian Garden,” a song cy
cle written by Liza Lehman, was the
most appreciated and original num
ber on the program given by John
B. Siefert ’s advanced students last
night at the Methodist Episcopal
chnreh. The words of this number j
are from the Bubaiyat erf Omar Khay- ^
yam, and the music is very deserip- j
tive of his work.
The quartet composed of Buth
Akers, Eloise McPherson, Frank Jue
and Bobert Dart, which rendered this
cycle, showed excellent training, and
they were aptly picked, for the voices
blended well into one another, and
were all of unusual quality.
Voices Are Well Blended
The duet in this selection, sung
by Buth Akers and Frank Jue, was
■especially good, and it was a treat
for all music lovers to hear the two
voices together. Eloise McPherson,
who gave a solo, has a rich and ap
pealing contralto voice, which brought
'out very well the sentiments ex
pressed in the Bubaiyat.
The first number on the program,
the “Sextette ” from “Lucia,” was
delightful. Six of the most promi
nent vocalists on the campus took
part in this opera excerpt which is per
haps one of the best known of all of
Donizetti’s works, and one of the
best liked operatic selections.
Various Selections divan
Another favored opera is Verdi’s
La Forza del Destino,” and the duet,
“Solenne in- -Quest Ora,” sung by
Henry Karpenstein and Frank Jue,
was very heartily received. With
“Le Coq D’or,” from “Hymn to the
Sun,” by Bimsky Korsakow, Gwladys
Keeney, increased her following of
musical lovers, as hw singing was
without criticism.
Mrs. T. A. Pearson has a voice of
clear yet rich quality, and her rendi
tion of “Far Greater In His Low Es
tate,” from “Queen of Sheba,” was
very well received, as was “"My Heart
at Thy Sweet Voice,-” -from “Sam
son and Delilah,” given by Lois
Eastefbrooks. Henry Karpenstein’s
voice Is very well suited to Handel s
type of operatic music, and “Hear
Me Ye Winds and Waves,” from
“Seipio,’” was very well done.
Duet Well lifted
Great appreciation was expressed
for the “Duet” from “Madame ’But
terfly,” Act II, sung by Buth Akers
and Eloise McPherson. Their voices
are very similar In quality and ex
pression, and harmonize well. “The
Magic Flute” is probably the best
known of Mozart’s operatic composi
tions. “Within These Sacred Dwell
ings,” from this was worked out very
well by Lorraine Stives, who also pre
sented “The Horn,” by Flegier.
Other students who gave selections
in a meritorious manner were Bobert
McKnight, “O Then Sublime Sweet
Star of Eve,” from “Tannhouser,”
by Wagner-, Olive Merry, “I Would
Linger,” from “Borneo and Juliet,”
by Gounod, and Velti Pruitt, “Vesti
la Giubba,” from Pagliaeci by Leon
eavallo.
The program was in two parts;
the first, excerpts from famous op
eras, by the masters; and the sec
ond, “The Persian Garden.” The
auditorium and eenter balcony of the
church was crowded. Much credit is
dne Mr. Siefert for the arrangement
of the program and the selection of
the program.
LUXURY OF BABYLON
WILL FEATURE PROM
(Continued from page one)
jangles and instruments of percussion.
This effect is to be produced by the
orchestra at the prom. Special cos
tumes for the orchestra have been
done by Hazel Borders.
Refreshments in the Babylonian
style will be supervised by Mary
Jane Dustin. The floor committee
is headed by Russel Burton and the
programs are under the charge of
Warren Ulrieh.
“The creations and framework of
the decrations are most intricate,”
declares Behlman. These are being.
cared for by Ralph Hamilton. The
lighting effects, which are complicated
and subtle, are to be supervised by
Hal Lundberg.
“The whole scheme has been work
ed out to the finest details,” says
Bohlman. “There is to be no cir
cus poster effect, but the finest at
tention to detail, in striving to take
students back from the modern world
to the voluptuous glamour of Baby
lon:”
ABOLITION OF SCANDAL
SHEET IS SUGGESTED
University Professors Discuss Proposed
Changes in Registration System
1
The abolition of the “Scandal
Sheet,” the simplification of the pro
cess of withdrawal from courses, and
the adoption of a uniform laboratory
fee were recommended in a report of
the committee on the possible modifi
cation of registration procedure given
at the meeting of the American As
sociation of University professors,
held at the Anchorage Monday even
ing.
“ It is not likely that any of these
changes will eventually come before
the faculty in the form in which they
were presented in this report,” said
Dr. W. E. Milne, chairman of the re
porting committee. “Considerable
opposition to a number of them was
noticeable,” he said, “particularly
the one with regard to the abolition
of the ‘ Scandal Sheet. ’ ”
It is expected, however, that some
orm of reformation based on the re
port will be presented to the fac
ulty at the next meeting. The time
for this meeting has not been de
cided upon as yet, although it was
postponed from last Wednesday.
The change propcied in the matter
of dropping courses involves the fil
ing of the students ’ registration
card with his major professor instead
of with the registrar’s office. This
will make it possible to withdraw
from a class without taking the mat
ter through the business office.
The substitution of a flat fee for
the present system of laboratory fees
was also discussed. This will make
the charges for laboratory work uni
form for all students in the University
with the exceptions of those in the
school of music. They would continue
to pay special fees.
Under the provisions of the report
neither withdrawals or failures would
be reported when the final grades of
the student are turned in at the
end of the term. The rule regarding
’,
the amount of work which a studwft
must carry now specifies that he must
sign up for at least 12 hours. It 1
was proposed to change this so that 1
it would require the student to com- J
plete with a passing grade a certain
number of hours each term. !'
1
“ The idea of the committee was to ]
simplify as much as possible the reg-1
istration procedure,” said Dr. Milne. ^
“We wanted to do away with some of
the red tape connected with the pro- ]
cess. While the method of enroll- -
ment in use at the present time is
probably as good as we could get, it ]
was felt that considerable improve- j
ment could be made in the method of (
withdrawal from classes.” j
It is planned to distribute a 1
mimeographed bulletin among the fac- <
ulty members explaining the details
of the new proposals as soon as they
Itre worked out in the form in which
hey will be presented at the faculty
meeting. While it is understood that
these changes will be based on the
provisions of .the committee’s report,!
they are not expected to be so far i
reaching as the original recommend- ;
ations.
The members of the committee which
presented the report were Dr. W. E.
Milne, Dt. H. C. Clark and Prof. E.!
L. Packard. i1
* r
Another question taken up was the .
travel allowance of University pro
fessors. Dr. ‘Stafford reported on1
this.
This is the last meeting of the
University organization of the Ameri
can Association of University profes
sors. Other meetings were held dur-1
ing the preceding terms of the year.1
Chapters of this arganization are to
he found in practically all the larger j
institutions of the country. About
25 faculty members attended the
meeting Monday evening.
CALIFORNIA LECTURER
TO ADDRESS STUDENTS
Christian Democracy Is to
be Subject
J. Stitt Wilson, noted lecturer
and former mayor of Berkeley, Cal.,
will be on the Oregon campus next
weekend, May 15 to 18, to address
the students with a series of lee.
tures on the subject or constructive
Christian democracy. Mr. Wilson
is the only socialist mayor that the
California city has ever had.
During the last few years, Mr.
Wilson has spent his entire time
lecturing to colleges and universi
ties in the United States under the
auspices of the Young Men’s
Christian association. He was on
this campus during the fall term of
last year and addressed the stu
dent body at one of the regular
assemblies.
While on the campus, Mr. Wilson
■will probably give a series of five
lectures on constructive Christian
democracy. The time and places
for *the meetings will be announced
later, but they will probably all
be held in Villard hall.
“Those who heard him last year
will -be delighted to know that he
is coming again,” declared Bev.
Heurv Wilson Davis, Y. M. C. A.
seerataay. “He is a very virile and
clear-cut -speaker who has the abil
ity to make his audiences really
think.”
STUDENT 'UNION WORK
PRAISED BY DOUGLASS
Claude Robinson received a let
ter recently fTom 'Harl R. Douglass,
former professor in the school of
education at Oregon, and now at
Stanford, congratulating the Ore
gon student body on their fine work
and successful results in the Stu- J
dent Union campaign.
“Upon returning to my office
after my classes this morning, I
found a copy of Sunday’s Emerald
on my desk proclaiming the re
sults of the fine work of the stu
dent body of Oregon,” writes Mr.
Douglass. “I hasten to congratu
late. Your drive was the critical
point in a campaign for a develop;
ment thait few universities have
known. I am Tery proud of my
four years connection with Oregon.
I hope that your older brothers,
the alumni, the citizens of Eugene,
and the friends of higher educa
tion in the state of Oregon will
discharge their part as well as you
havp and that the dreams and
plans of your noble president and
associates for a more wonderful
University of Oregon may be real
ized. ”
