To Use Proceeds Obtained
For New Instruments
V' -—
If world championships were
held by thing's like books and
music, Wagner’s Lohengrin would
probably get the operatic gold
medal.
Arthur Boardman, head of the
voice department, who is regarded
in America as one of the best au
thorities on Wagner and that’s
straight dope thinks it would.
He didn’t say it in quite that way
because he frowns on slang, but
that’s what he meant.
He was talking about the two
famous choruses from Lohengrin
which the University of Oregon
orchestra, conducted by Rex Un
derwood, and the Polyphonic choir,
of which Mr. Boardman is director,
will present next Sunday after
^ noon at 4 o'clock. There will be a
’25 cent charge for the program,
and proceeds are to go to the or
chestra, w hich is badly in need of
instruments. Members of the or
chestra and school of music of
ficials are hoping there wall be a
large crowd Sunday. It will be the
year’s only Sunday program at
which an admission fee will be
charged.
To Sing Bridal Chorus
The choir wall sing the famous
Bridal Chorus and the Prayer and j
Finale at the end of the first act.
Explaining the background of the
music, yesterday, Mr. Boardman
said: “The prayer is the King’s j
prayer for the victory of the right- ;
eous in the dual between Lohen
grin and Fredrick, the chorus
joins in the prayer, which is fol
lowed by the dual, to be represent- j
ed by the orchestra. Following the 1
dual comes Lohengrin’s declaration
of victory and the laudation of the
.multitude as well as a short song j
f of thanks by Elsa.
* “The part of the King will be
sung by Edward Fisher, Lohen
grin by John Spittle, Fredrick by
Eugene Pearson, Elsa by Sara Ad
dlemr.n and Ortrud by Margaret
Simms.’’
Opera Within Range
Speaking of the plan of using
the orchestra and choir together
in concert presentations of opera,
Mr. Boardman declared: “It is
much better to have a good con
cert performance than a poor
stage performance of opera. Such
a performance puts opera in the
range of many communities wdiich
could not othervvise be familiar
with such music.”
Roy Bryson, baritone, assistant
director of the choir, will present
the third Wagnerian number,
singing the famous song of the
Evening Star from Tannhauser.
It is the song of Wolfram in the
third act, second scene, and is de
livered just prior to Tannhauser’s
return from his vain trip to Rome
F ,to seek forgiveness for his sins.
To Assist Orchestra
The orchestra will have two
other numbers in its concert, for
which the choir members will be
the assisting artists.
Members of the polyphonic choir
follow: (sopranos) Sara Addle
man, Helen Ashliman, Margaret

Among Other Things
“SEZ SUE”
I want to advise you to buy most
of your summer wardrobe before
leaving for home. It is the unde
niable truth that the college town
shops have the edge on the more iso
lated communities (a good two-bit
phrase). And along with other things,
I want to ofiTer my heartiest con
gratulations to the seniors, and to
tell the rest of you that I am hoping
to talk to you all next year, and
now . . . for some more things that
I have to tell you.
For the Gift
Problem
I would suggest that you go
no farther than the Ko-ed shop
right next to the College Side.
There you will find all of the
frills so dear to your blessed
feminine hearts. Linen hand
kerchiefs . . . silk hose . . .
lingerie . . . costume jewelry
. . . morocco bags in beige and
colors.
\ Friend of Ours
Sends Wishes
McMorran and Waahbume's,
who have so sweetly advised
me as to the dictates of fash
ion, that X might pass them on,
hopes that all of you darlings
will have good vacations, and
also wishes to see you return
next year. Incidentally, when
thinking of McMorran and
Washburne’s . . . think of the
advice in the opening para
graph.
Personally—
I Insist
That every senior have a new
hat for the Senior Reception.
Of course, that is impossible,
but even the most economical
ijrows a wee bit “persuade-able"
when she sees the lovely sum- \
mer hats at Letitia Abrams . . .

And, of Course,
Decoration Day
You will want to telegraph
flowers as a token of your con
sideration and respect. The
University Florist will do this
service for you in the nicest
possible way . . . and from ex
perience I assure you that you
will make no mistake. Phone
today, and make arrangements.
AND NOW, MY DEARS, I WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY SUMMER,
