and a silver cup will go to the class
giving the best stunt.

named above will be Mrs. Prince L.
Campbell, Mrs. Irene Gerliuger, Mrs.
I. L. Tatterson, Mrs. Burt Brown
Barker, Miss Fanny MeCamant, Miss
Margaret McMillan, Miss Katherine
Boulter, and Miss Hazel Prustuian.

and head of the cops, has named

Program of Cellist and Pianist
Marked by Fine Tonal Coloring
By NAOMI GRANT
Fine tone coloring and dramatic
emphasis were distinguishing fea
tures of last evening's faculty re
cital, given by Miriam Little, cell
ist, and Aurora Potter L'nderwood,
pianist.
The first number played by Miss
Little, “Du Bistdie Hull,” was ex
quisite because of the richness of
tone in the prevailing quiet mood,
with which the brief and more pas
sionate passages afforded effective
contrast. The “Serenade Espag
role,” varied in its con moto style
with that of the Schubert number,
but was enhanced by the same tonal
quality, which was particularly ef
fective in the lower notes of the
instrument. The dramatic, and em
phatic abandon with which Miss
Little played the pizzicatos of this
number, “The Old English Dance”
and the “Scherzando” movement of
the Rachmaninoff “Sonata” added
to the popularity of each.
One of the most descriptive of
Miss Little’s solos was Godard’s
“By the«J3ea.” First the composi
tion seemed to picture by its flow
ing tenuto melody, the ocean in its
quiet mood. Then the vibrating low
tones of the cello and the tremulo
bass of the piano accompaniment
played by Mrs. Underwood portrayed
its more turbulent aspect. A cli
matic run preceded the return to
the original movement, to which
the rapid notes of the cello and
the delicate accompaniment added
the descriptive suggestion of waves.
“The Old English Dance” was
played with becoming grace and dig
nity, to which the cello is so well
adapted. Variation in tempo and
dynamics made every measure of
repetition interesting. The brilliant;
flourish of the final pizzicato came
as a surprise after the emphatic
legato of the double stopping just
preceding. Miss Little’s encore to
the group was a “Faure” number.i
The most impressive number from |
the dramatic standpoint and also
the one in which the soloist and ac
companist achieved fine co-ordina
tion was the Rachmaninoff “son
ata.” Impassioned emphasis of
phrasing, and the massive effect of
the piano interludes were relieved
by equally entrancing callando pas- j
sages, and the liquid tones of the
accompaniment in the sweeter pas
sages.
The Faderewski number of the
piano group was pleasing in its free
style of rhythm and the delicacy of
the right hand runs. The placid
simplicity of the succeeding num
ber made it an “improvisation” in
effect as well as name. “Valsette”
by the same composer, offered con
siderable contrast in its alternate
stacatto and smooth measures. Cy
ril Scott’s “Passacaglia,” with its
interesting harmony, ran the range
of dynamics from the lightest of
velocity in the treble to the pesante
of full bass chords. As an encore
Mrs. Underwood played a Chopin
number.
The warm, amorous tones of both
the piano and the cello gave an or
iental atmosphere to “In a Persian
Garden” after a quiet opening the
number assumed a more ardent qual
ity, perhaps of a lover pleading his
cause. The jocund piquancy of
“The Village Song” with its facile
fingering and voices trills phrased
in the style of the folk dance, fas
cinated the audience into persistant
applause for a final encore.
Many Students
Ready To Vote
Eight Hundred Registered,
Says County Clerk
A total of approximately S00 stu
dents are now registered voters, ac
cording to those in charge of cam
pus registration. This is an unusu
ally high percentage in the opinion
of County Clerk Dillard, who esti
mates that the number of students
qualified to vote is not over 900.
The booth between the Oregon
and Commerce buildings has been
removed so those who have not yet
registered are urged to go to the
University pharmacy, the nearest
place of registration, and register,
so they can vote in the primaries
in May. The last day for registra
tion is April 17.
The results from the campus reg
istration booth show the “elephant”
to be the popular favorite. .

‘The Swan’ To Be
Tonight’s Review
Love, Duty Bring Action
To Repertoire Week
The most colorful aiul romantic'
play of repertoire week will be pre-!
suited tonight when Guild theatre
players give “The Swan,” Franz
Molnar’s play.
The repertoire productions have
been of a somewhat morbid and
heavy type, with ‘‘ Lady Winde
more’s Fun” the only bright spot.
The conflict between love and duty
j forms the plot of “The Swan,” and
provides opportunity for effective
setting and spectacular acting, form
ing a decided contrast with the
ether reviews.
Joy Ingalls and Glenn Potts will!
have the leads tonight as Alexandra
and Prince Albert. The entire cast,
with the exception of two minor
roles, will remain as it was in the
fall production.
Tomorrow night repertoire week
will close with the presentation of
I Eugene O’Neil’s tragedy, “Beyond
the Horizon.” Judging from the
