Dean Landsbury
Explains "Hoiv to
Make Lemonade99
Before a packed house at West
minster Sunday morning Dean
Landsbury explained the “Gentle
Art of Making Lemonade’’ in re
lation to the attainment of life’s
greatest values. In developing the
subject he cited episodes of his
own life.
Every time one meets an adver
sity or has a “lemon” handed to
him, there is an opportunity to
find a lesson, said Dean Landsbury.
“The wise man is the one who
makes lemonade out of the ’lemons’
that are handed him,” he added.
“One of the finest things that can ,
happen to a man is to be pushed I
into a corner where he is forced
to make a decision.”
Mr. Landsbury started out to be
many things in his life. He first
prepared himself for music, but
was forced to give that up on ac
count of an injury he received in
his right hand. It was then that
he realized that he had “put all
the eggs in one basket.” He had
concentrated all his efforts to mu
sic alone, and when he was told
that he must carry his hand in a
sling for two years, he went back
to college and prepared himself for
engineering. “I learned to sit down
and figure out things and draw
conclusions,” he said.
in proceeding iartner witn ms
directions on the art of making
lemonade, he believed that a man
should be strong enough not to
take too seriously the opinion of
others in regard to the things that
are worth while in life. His de
fense is his action.
Scabbard and Blade Ball
To Be Given January 23
Jones Announces Committee in
Charge of Dance
At a meeting yesterday of Scab
bard and Blade, military honorary,
plans were laid for the annual mil
itary ball which will be held Jan
uary 23 at the Eugene hotel.
Treve Jones, president of the or
ganization, named the following
committee to take general charge
of the dance: Chairman, Bob
O’Melveny; other members, Wayne
Emmott, Ira Brown, William John
son, John Painton, George Kotchik,
and George Pratt.
All Scabbard and Blade mem
bers will attend and are privileged
to invite one guest. Junior and
senior cadet officers are also in
vited as guests.
Patrons and patronesses for the
affair will not be announced until
later in the week.
Enesco Weaves Spell Over
Large Audience at Concert
Georges Enesco’s concert in Me- [
Arthur court yesterday fulfilled j
every expectation of the audience,!
and served to show once more the
preference of modern listeners for;
the music of the classic composers.;
Melody dominated in the pro
gram, and was exquisitely empha
sized, both in the artist’s playing
and in the fine accompaniments of
Sanford Schlussel. There was a
distinct demarkation of the moods
and atmospheres of the several
groups which aided the audience
in clarifying its responses, and
added to its measure of apprecia
tion. Greater beauty of tone has
not been heard in Eugene in many
r months.
The Handel sonata was doubly
enjoyable because of its close re
lation to the music of “The Mes
siah," heard last term. The music
was flavored with a pre-eminence
of melody and rhythm.
The first, third and fourth num
bers of the second group were an
tique, both in form and content.
The “Bagatelle” was a modern Ru
manian composition, carefree and
melodic, building to a decisive cli
max. In the Pugnani “Largo Ex
pressivo,” Enesco achieved beauti
ful effects through highly skilled
use of pianissimo tones. Schlus
sel’s performance of the Kreisler
arranged accompaniments was
dramatic.
The Chausson “Poeme” was the
major work of the program. The
artist’s tenuous pursuit of the
rhapsodic mood and his exquisite
tonality made the performance one
that will be remembered. A mini
mum of technical complication fur
ther added to the enjoyment of
the piece.
Enesco’s technical virtuosity was
given full sway in the last group.

tain of Arethusa,” from Szyma

Lennox Robinson Visits
Campus First Time
Classifies Erin Playwrights
As Among World's
Most Colorful
Lennox Robinson, leading Irish
dramatist, author and actor, will
be a campus visitor tomorrow,
when he will speak at Guild theatre
at 7:30 in the evening. The talk
will commence promptly at that
hour, since the stage must be
available later in the evening for a
rehearsal of “Journey’s End.”
For many years, Mr. Robinson
has been associated with the Ab
bey theatre in Dublin, which is
known as the “father” of the little
theatre movement that has gone
all over the world. He is now one
of the directors of the theatre,
along with William Butler Yeats,
Lady Gregory, Walter Starkie, and
other world-famed dramatists.
Plays Produced Steadily
Since 1908, when his first play
was produced at the Abbey thea
tre, Robinson has produced stead
ily, often acting in his own plays.
Three of his productions have been
presented in London and New York
with a great deal of success.
Among his outstanding dramas
are “The Whiteheaded Boy,”
"Crabbed Youth and Age,” and
“The Dreamers.” Besides these, he
has written a number of short
stories, a novel, and has edited the
“Golden Treasury of Irish Verse.”
Irish dramatists, who are some
of the most talented and colorful
of the world, will be the subject of
Mr. Robinson’s talk. His talk will
last about' an hour, and promises
to contain a great deal of enter
tainment as he is declared to be a

Totally disregarding the de

In mystic India, a succinct

No mention is made of the tra

And now the scene of battle
shifts to sun-bathed Hawaii,
where rape and murder disturb
the calm seas at Waikiki. For

assaulted in the last year, and
naval officials assert that Hon

Hawaii’s resemblance* to an

Sunday Concert
To Present Band
In First of Series
Distinctive Musical Hour
Will Be Open to All
Town and Campus
Campus and townspeople will be
treated to a different attraction in
the line of musical entertainment
for this season, when the Univer

, is approximately 10 years old, has
developed into one of the best
group of student musicians in the
Northwest.
During the football season con
siderable attention was directed to
the trim-looking 75-piece organi

received by the band from various
business men of both Portland and
Seattle during the games played
in those cities.

and member of the music faculty,
has selected a group of varied
numbers of strict concert type. A

I made numerous solo appearances.
Campus’ Newest
Talent To Appear
For Krazy Krawl
Mullins Promises Original
Acts for Approaeliing
Adster Frolic
“A regular vodvil, the best fea
tures that we could get and the
best part of it is that most of
them are new,” said Francis Mul
lins last night in commenting on
his phase of the Krazy Kopy
Krawl, annual dance sponsored by
Alpha Delta Sigma, national ad
vertising professional fraternity,
and which is being given at Cocoa
nut Grove Saturday night.
The headlining feature of the
evening, according to Mullins, will
be a dance given by Ivy Walkum,
in school this term for the first
time, who was on the Orpheum
circuit for four years and who
headlined for two years in the
Fanchon-Marco “Gold and Black”
idea. This will be her initial ap
pearance to entertain the campus.
Sally Addleman has been slated to
croon a few numbers and Marion
Camp and Hal Hatton will beat a
few tattoos on the floor with tap
shoes.
A few trio numbers, rendered
by the Delt Trio—Bob Holmes,
Maurice Kinney, and Abbey Green
—will fill out the versatile pro
gram. Two more acts which have
not yet appeared on the campus
are also announced by Mullins.
These are the Theta Chi Blue
Boys, who will render a brand new
song, and Thelma Tefft, another
new arrival in the University, who
will give a tap dance. Mullins
confidently whispered that the eve
ning would also be enlivened by
the presence of six genuine night
club hostesses.
rwueiL noimes, in cnarge or

Tonight’s Soloists
For Recital Have
Varied Interests
Tonight's student recital will be
unusual, in view of the personali
ties involved.
Carl Lemke, senior music stu
dent and piano soloist on the pro
gram, is a blind student. John
Spittle, tenor soloist, is an archi
tecture major. George Barron,
Spittle's accompanist, is an assist
ant instructor in the department
of public school music, a capable
coach and conductor, as well as
an outstanding vocal performer.
Of Lemke, George Hopkins, his
instructor and head of the piano
department of the school of music,
yesterday said: "Carl, though
blind, learns his music more rap
idly and more thoroughly than
many students who are not so
handicapped as he. Several years
ago we tried teaching by the
Braille music system, but found it
very slow. He had to read with
one hand while playing with the
other.
‘‘Now, however, he employs a
reader, and learning first the har
monic structure of the piece, soon
learns it. His work is, therefore,
more correct and more lasting
than that of many students, who
learn by note.
His ear is not more sensitive
than some others, but his sound
knowledge of the harmonic struc
ture of his music enables him to
make rapid progress.”
Arthur Boardman, John Spittle’s
instructor, characterized his voice
as “a young dramatic tenor.”
“Spittle is not a music major,
and studies only voice in the
school of music. However, his mu
sical avocation is serious. He is
an ardent and conscientious stu
dent, and his extensive vocal am
bition compensates for a limited
theoretical knowledge.”
Driveway Will Connect
University With lltli St.
A new driveway is to be cut
through the campus from Univer
sity street to Eleventh avenue just
north of the Architecture building,
according to George York, super
intendent of buildings and grounds.
In the past motorists have had
to turn around at this point and
drive back up University street to
13th but the new road will alle
viate this trouble as well as re
lieve traffic congestion due to nar
rowness of the street.
Students have been employed to
do the work and were on the
ground yesterday but the weather
prohibited the actual start of con
struction.
Money for the work will come
from the recently graduated un
employment fund to help students.
Basin Debaters
To Be Greeted
Officially Today
Eleven o’Clock Classes
Dismissed
Trio Will Give Ten-Minute
Talks on Trip at
Assembly \
Topping the University welcome
given the Pacific Basin debate
team, 11 o’clock classes will be
dismissed for the campus-wide of
ficial welcome assembly to be held
at McArthur court, this morning.
This assembly will climax the
student welcome given the three
debaters under the chairmanship
of Clifford Beckett, since their re
turn to the campus Friday.
Each of the three will give an
informal 10-minute talk. Bob Mil
ler, manager of the tour, will
speak first and has as his subject,
"Students in Revolt.” Dave Wil
son, publicity director, will talk
next on "America in the Head
lines.” Roger Pfaff, speech direc
tor, will give an account of the
current situation in the Orient
through his talk ‘.‘Traveling
Through War-torn China.”
All of the debaters have prom
ised to make their speeches short
in order that the assembly may be
concluded in ample time for lunch.
Brian Mimnaugh, president of
the associated students, will pre
side. "Practically all of the time
of the assembly will be given over
to th debaters,” Mimnaugh said.
“These students have actually seen
and passed through that part of
the world which today has attract
ed much attention of all people
interested in international affairs,
and they are going to tell us, in
formally, of their experiences.”
The debaters have more speak
ing engagements today than they
have had any time during their
entire trip. This includes the as
sembly program, a luncheon at the
Rotary club and four engagements
at the Colonial theatre.
YWCA Cubinet Will Meet

Christmas Sale of Books
At Co-op Rated Successful
The University Co-op store en
joyed large sales of books during
the Christmas rush. Although
many were recommended in con
nection with courses, many others
were not, yet sold well.
Among the best sells were, Bos
well’s “Life of Samuel Johnson,’’
“The Story of the World’s Litera
ture,’’ by John Macy, “Bernard
Shaw,” by Frank Harris, and the
complete works of William Shake
speare.
Tragic, Light Themes Blend
In Evans9 Tivilight Program
John stark Evans presented his
first Twilight organ recital of the
term Sunday before the traditional
large crowd.
The program was varied, includ
ing some compositions of a pow
erfully tragic nature blended with
light numbers by modern compos
ers.
“Andante Fifth Symphony’’ by
the great Russian composer,
Tschaikowski, is charming because
of the skillful development of a
melody throughout the entire com
position. Mr. Evans’ interpreta
tion especially brought out the
weird, tragic element and poignant
sweetness of the various moods
that make the composition so
popular.
Two numbers of Sibelius fol
lowed the “Andante," "Symphonic
Tone Poem—Finlandia," dedicated
I
I
by the composer to his native land,
Finland, and "Valse Triste.” The
organ rolled out the grand chords
and powerful patriotic theme,
which, with discriminating execu
tion of thunderous and briskly mil
itary contrasts made it especially
appealing. The picture of a dying
woman and her visions of a death
dance was depicted in the second
number.
A light, picturesque vein was
suggested by “Midsummer Ca
price,” Johnston. The mood was
reminiscent of a poem by Milton.
“Bells of St. Anne de Beaupre”
by Russel, who is organist at
Princeton university, was a de
scriptive number containing the
chimes of St. Anne church, Beau
pre, Canada, the gathering of the
faithful, chanting of the choir, the
procession, miracle, benediction,
and bells in the distance.
