Student Tickets For Band Concert On Sale at Co-op Doc Robnett Announces That Special 75 Cent Ducats Are limited Two Separate Programs Planned Thursday Only a limited number of stu dent. tickets, calling for $2.00 seats at 75c for performances of tlie Royal Belgian band May 2, will be sold, according to Ronald Robnett, assistant graduate manager.

Two separate programs will be given by this band of 80 musicians led by Captain Arthur Provost.

Evening prices for reserve seats are $2.00 and $2.50, and for general admission $1.00 and $1.50. - The Royal Belgian band is more than a “band” in the American sense, inasmuch as it is also what the French call a “Harmonic.” This word lias no English equivalent and is best expressed as a combination of band and orchestra. vThe leader of the band, Captain Arthur Prevost, is recognized as a genius for his mastery in arrang ing symphonic works for this or ganization. His repertory exceeds 100 classical works. Upon Stravin sky’s request, Captain Prevost has arranged Petrouehka. At the insti gation of Prokofieff, Casella, and other modern composers, he has also arranged their works in a most sat isfactory manner. Captain Pre vost ’s arrangements of the most important works of Bach, Cesar Franck's Symphony, Mendelsshon’s Organ Sonata, and courses of other classical works, are equally astound ing. As to the popular side of the Band’s repertory, it comprises over 200 works that are an overwhelm ing success. Captain Prevost also lias a collection of 0-1 military marches. Northwest Libraries Discuss Co-op Buying i An attempt is being made among the libraries of the northwest to start a method for.eooperative buy ing of periodical sets among them selves. M. IT. Douglass, librarian of the University of Oregon library, re ceived a letter to this effect re cently. Series will be bought by the Un ion Lists Libraries cooperatively and the various volumes will be cir culated as they are needed among the different libraries. This will en able these institutions to secure ex pensive and valuable sets between them that a single library would be unable to purchase for itself. Manager of Hockey Schedules Contests Intramural hockey games will be gin. this afternoon at five o’clock, according to Kuth Bureham, head of that sport. The Schedule for the first week follows: Wednesday, fro»h first vs. fr'osh second; Thurs day, juniors vs. mixed team; and Friday, seniors vs. Bophomoresj Varsity Squad To Cross Bats With Beavers Reinhart to Take Team To Corvallis This Afternoon Bill Baker Slated To Fill Pitcher Box Webfoot Nine Has Batting Workout to Correct Big Weakness Billy Reinhart will take his var sity ball teasers to Corvallis today to play off the game against Ore gon Aggies, which was rained out last Saturday. First plans were to play off this contest at the end of the regular playing season but good weather conditions caused Jack Benofiel, graduate manager, to schedule it this week. Baker May Pitch Bill Baker probably will tike the mound against the Orangemen today, continuing where he ,1b ft off last week. When Saturday’s game was called off, at the end of the fourth inning, neither team had been able to score and the Aggies only made two hits off Baker’s submarine slants. Ira Woodio, vet eran receiver, will be behind the plate. The remainder of the lineup will bo the same that started the first Aggie game played here Fri day. Carl Nelson, first; Ken Eobie, second, Frannie Andrews, short; Harold Olinger, third; and Dave Epps, Kramer Barnes, and Ray Ed wards, outfield, will complete the lineup. Batting Drill Emphasized Coach Reinhart has been drilling bis team in batting practice this week, correcting minor weaknesses in the men’s work. He is confident that the team will be able to gar ner its share of base hits today and the men are on edge to take the Beavers into camp. A win today would give the Webfooters a even break in the scries and would enable the locals to meet the Idaho Vandals here Friday with a .">00 percentage. The three sophomore regulars on the Oregon team are showing good form in the .practice sessions. Fran 11 ie Andrews and Harold Olinger, in fielders, and Kremcr Barnes, center fielder,. are the second year men and Coach Reinhart has predicted a great future for them in conference ball. Barnes poled out a nice hit in the first Aggie game and he possesses a strong throwing arm. Olinger played errorless ball and Andrews made only one misplay.
