    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.

EX-VARSITY DEBATER
REGISTERS AT 0. 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.
