L1ISGHK LEVITZKI TO 01 RECITAL Russian Influence Shown; Artist American Born YOUTH OF PIANIST FELT Concert to Test Eugene’s Demand for Music By J. W. L. Miseha Levitzki, probably the greatest touring pianist, will give a recital in the school of musik aud itorium Thursday evening at 8:15. Levitzki has played in nearly ev ery part of the world, and his pres ent touT will complete his ninth Am erican triumph. Levitzki was born in Poland, but his parents were naturalized Amer ican citizens before his birth, so he is by law an American citizen. The first eight years of his life were spent in Russia and from there he came to America. Inasmuch as all art, and especially music, is a cos mopolitan thing in its nature, Le vitzki has had ideal training for his musical art. His early years, spent in Russia .undoubtedly, had a great influence on his career, as did his fivo years training in Ger many, but tho formative five years of his work was spent in America, where ho received his fundamentals and foundation. He is American in ideas and tastes, and a great fol lower of baseball. Probably one of the most out standing features of this great mu sician is his youth. "Pew men in any profession roach a world wide popularity and renown before mid dlo ago but this has been achieved by Levitzki at the age of 27. He first appeared in concerts when nine years of ago, and now, still in his twentios when most men are just getting started he is in demand tho world over, an acclaimed genius and certainly a success. The concert to bo given Thurs day night is in a way a test of tho demand of Eugene people as to the desirability of bringing such ar tists as Levitzki. Inasmuch as tho “off campus” people do not get to attend tho student concerts because of lack of seating space, it iH tho aim of the school of music to fur nish such music if it will pay for itself. It will also afford the stu dent body an opportunity to hear several more artists than aro on tho studont schedule each year. If the concert proves a success, others will bo booked in the future, and artists whom local pcoplo would have to journey to Portland to hear will bo brought to Eugcno at popu lar prices. PI SAYS DEAN ALLEN Oregon School Stresses ; | Varied Training k r' - “ A report oil tho earnings of jour nalists by Doan Eric W. Allen, of the school of journalism, which was head at tho annual meeting of the American Association of Touchers of Journalism held at Columbia University, New York, during the holidays, received much atteutioa in eastern papers. Dean Alien was chairman of the committee on sal aries, but could not bs present at the meeting. - The reinirt maintained that journalism, restricted reporting, copy-reading, make-up and the like, is not at present a well paid pro fession. It was urguod that all schools of journalism! should do as Oregon dbes; attempt to qualify their students for writing maga zine articles or books and train them in advertising, business man agement, and mochaaioal produc tion in addition to the usual lines, if a journalistic career is to yield satisfactory monetary returns. The eurnitigs of Oregon graduates were reported as running considerably above the average of the profession for the age limits considered. Figures given by Dean Allen and Raymond Lawrence, instructor, in journalism, showed that, with the exception of New York and Chicago, the average 35 year-old reporter earns a weekly wage of $23, while $2500 a year is an average wage for a man of 35, who cannot do any thing beyond reporting or desk work The New York papers took spe cial interest in Dean Allen’s analy sis of 2,350 journalists appearing in “Who’s Who in America.” Of these about 2,000 once had been re porters, but few were still report ing, though one-third 1 classified themselves as “journalistic writers.” ■Roughly, one-third had worked into executive positions as managers, editors, desk-men, directors or owners. The last had a “surpris ingly small amount of formal edu cation,” while the writers were well educated. The majority of the re maining third were giving much of their spare time to fiction writing, tin addition, there was found a ‘ ‘ large leakage of successful tal ent” into publishing, printing, pub lic relations, advertising, politics and public service. , “It is, therefore, only by includ ing in our conception of journalism the kind of things successful re porters actually do in their later years that we can fairly consider journalism a profession of a satis factory economic future,” said the report. Dean Allen maintained that the Oregon school was on this basis and that this was one of the reasons for its success. PHYSICJIL ABILITY TEST T& BE GIVEN THURSDAY Men Urged by Harry Scott To Sign for Event The physical education depart ment for men announced Monday afternoon that 35 or 40 men are ex pected to try out for the physical ability pentathlon to be held in the <gym Thursday morning at 11:00 o’clock, with the view of raising their grades in physical -education, and getting credit for minor sports which are not coached. There were but 20 names signed up to take the tost, but Harry A. Scott expects that the number will be increased by 15 or 20 within the next day or two, as there are number of men who failed to pass the test the last time it was given, and there are others who announced their inten tions of taking the tost to improve their score in some of the events. Tho five events which will put to test the all-around physical abil ity of the men are as follows: the 192-yard run must be made in 27 seconds; the high jump cleared at 4 feet; 28 feet of rope finished in 25 seconds; to pass tho swimming test, the swimmer will have to swim 100 yards, 5 lengths of the tank, four lengths on the forward and one on the back, an dbar vault 4 feet 8 inches. A score of one must bo made in each tect to obtain a passing grade. The system of scoring the tests, Mr. Scott explained, insures a man’s all-around ability to pass the test, and made it optional to him as ho might bo exceptional good in one branch and at the same time not be able to do a thing in some other departments of tho test. The present record holder of the pentathlon at University is Hnddtln ltockliey, ’23, with a score of 131 points, which was made in 1921, and still stands good. Tho record holder now in school is Eugene Richmond, who registered a total of 119 points. Men who are expect ing to take the test should sign up immediately at the office, Mr. Scott said.

Sports Writer Finds Captain John McEwan Very Interesting Man (Continued from page one) posting as in the Pacific coast con ference, the West Point players are posted every week. The eligible players are put in the “A” squad and the plebes and ineligibles in the “B” squad. The captain has no sympathy with athletes who will not study. He is accustomed to high scholastic j standards and to good students. The system of tutoring used at the Military Academy is very fine and bring results. Ore man out of each class who has very high grades chooses a staff of 10 or 12 helpers who are outstanding in their worn I and they personally help the ath letes with their work. lie thinks a similar system could be used at Oregon with results for it would give men who are not out for the sport an opportunity to further the interests of the team.

A. C. The Oregon debate team will be crippled by the loss of one of its mainstays this year. Jack McGuire, former varsity debater for Oregon enrolled this term at O. A. C. An extended tour of the country is of fered the Beaver debaters each year. Oregon will feel the loss keenly, for McGuire has had more than the average amount of experience in debating and oratory work. He holds the California state high school championship in debate, and the Pacific coast and northwestern j titles in oratory. Last year Me Guire represented the universities of seven western states in the na tional oratorical contest. He won this right of representation in the semi-finals at Stanford, and later took fifth place in the national con test, which was held in Los Angeles.
