Mrs. Anne Beck Describes
Melodies of East
MU PHI MEMBERS AID
Folk Tunes Value as Key
To Culture Stressed
A lecture by Mrs. Anne Lands
bury Beck on oriental music, each
type illustrated by instrumental or
vocal selections given by members
of Mu Phi Epsilon, was the feat
ure of a Mu Phi Epsilon concert
in Alumni hall Sunday. The con
cert was the second of a series of
six.
The music discussed was of
Arabia, India, Japan, China and
Bussia. “The value of these orien
tal folk tunes is limitless,” Mrs.
Beck said. “They are a bank ac
count which we must not neglect.
The music of these countries, like
the music of other countries, re
flects the character and customs of
the country. This oriental music,
■which is weird and mystical to us,
has more tones than our ears can
appreciate. While we have 13 in
tervals some of these musicians use
22, but their ears are trained to
appreciate the finer shades of dif
ference.”
Of Arabian music, she said, not
as much is known as of other coun
tries because they have left no
written record. Examples were of
Arabian male songs, which were
chants or harmonious wails, and a
piano solo, “Moorish Dances,” by
Bandridge Crist, played by Beulah
Clark.
The music of India, dominated
by religion, is censored by the
church. It also is mostly vocal but
has several voices, with one voice
taking the lead. The Indian music
composition progresses from the
prelude to the “rag,” which sets
the tune, and then the main part.
The Indian music was a violin solo,
“Chant of India” by Rinsky Kor
sakow, played by Nina Warnock,
and “Hindu Chant” by Bomberg,
and “Bird of the Wilderness” by
Horseman, sung by Mrs. P. A.
Pearson.
The Japanese music, with its
fourth and seventh tonos omitted,
has been described, she said, “like
the howling of n dog.” The Chi
nese also is weird and it also has
some effective chord combinations.
It iO1 a porfoct carnival of sound,
she said, and the Chinese ear can
appreciate other sounds, as of wood
ou stone. The Assyrian and Rus
sian music wore also discussed and
later illustrated. The last two
-numbers were “Chinese Mother
Goose Rhymes” by Bandridge
Crist and sung by Elizabeth Nel- [
son, and a cello solo, “Oriontale” I
by Censer Cui and played by Laura j
Teshner. The whole program was |
delightful with its appreciation of !
other music and its change from J
one kind to another.
The next Mu Phi Epsilon pro
gram will be December 7 at Alumni1
hall and will be a Christmas Carol |
program. There will probably also
be a group of children who will
sing carols.

must be able to think clearly and
quickly, in order to do exactly the
right thing at exactly the right
time, declared the coach.
Another important thing is team*
work. The player must know ex
actly what to expect of his team
mates, unconsciously analyzing the
thoughts of the man to whom he is
about to pass the ball or who is
about to pass it to him. A player
must know the speed of every man
on his team so that he can be sure
someone will be there to catch his
pass. Nothing but extensive prac
tice can accomplish this.
During the Christmas holidays
the team will go on a barnstorming
trip through the northwest. This
will give Reinhart a chance to put
the finishing touches on the team’s
work.

OREGONIAN FEATURES
LECTURE BY DR. HODGE
“Can Science Make Gold”
To Be Radio Subject
In a special radio1 lecture to be
broadcast from station KGW of the
Morning Oregonian tomorrow night
at 9 o’clock, Dr. E. T. Hodge, pro
fessor of economic geology, will dis
cuss the subject, “Can Science
Make Gold?”
In keeping with the recent dis
coveries by a Gorman scientist who
says he can make gold out of mer
cury, this is a current topic. It is
an interesting expression of present
day alchemy, according to Miss
Mark E. Kent of the extension
division. 1
“This subject has been attract
ing public attention all over the
world,” she says. “News articles
have been running in papers; while
magazines have discussed it also.
Our own local papers have been
filled with editorials about this
new process. It was in compliance
to public pressure for a scientific
discussion of the making of gold
that Dr. Hodge’s special lecture
was provided for. It is a part of
the regular extension division radio
lecture service.”
Experts say that Dr. Hodge has a
very good radio voice; one of the
type that is hard to find. He has
given soveral lectures from KGW.

DOUGHNUT ATHLETIC
REGULATIONS CHANGED
Challenges May be Issued
By Eliminated Teams
The Doughnut League this year
is working under an entirely differ
ent system than that used in former
years. This year the league will
allow any man on the campus to
enter unless he is trying out or has
had varsity experience.
In a statement issued for the rep
resentatives of the different organi
zations now entered in intramural
sports, Billy Beinhart, varsity bas
ketball coach, says, “Bealizing that
the success of the varsity team de
pends upon the uniform condition
ing of the candidates and the fact
that varsity candidates should have
but one purpose, I have asked that
no men who are now out for the
varsity team play on the various
intramural teams.”
In making this statement Bein
hart is working on the supposition
that each organization is willing to
forego their own success for the
good of the varsity so the physical
education department will regard
this request as a ruling for the
future.
The league this year, being on
an elimination basis means that
half of the teams entered will play
only one game. If any organiza
tion is eliminated and still wishes
to play more games they have the
privilege to challenge any team in
or out of the league. Arrange
ments for the games will have to
be made through the physical edu
cation department.
The following dates and times
are open for such challenge games:
Monday, Dec. 1 at 4 p. m.
Wednesday, Dec. 3 at 4 p. m.
Friday, Dec. 5 at 4 p. m.
Monday, Dec. 8 at 4 p. m.
Tuesday, Dec. 9 at 5 p. m.
Wednesday, Dec. 10 at 4 p. m.
Thursday, Dec. 11 at 5 p. m.

tradition of singing our Alima Mater
song as we leave the meeting until
I attended that assembly. It seemed
as though the whole assembly sort
of “went flat” when we just filed
out after the speaker was through.”
Miss Simpson told of the side
trips which the delegates participat
ed in. One was a tour through the
Blue Grass country, visiting the old
estates and seeing Man O’ War, and
another ride to Shakertown, an old
colony of Shakers, a religious sect
similar to the Quakers.
The Western girls had stopovers
of a few hours in Denver, Kansas
City, St. Louis, and longer stays in
Cincinnati, Chicago, and Spokane.
“It was surely a glorious trip,
and we saw (and did so much that
it is almost a relief to be back
where life isn’t quite so strenuous,”
Miss Simpson concluded.
