Critic Calls Foster Recital 'Refreshingly Unconventional* By DAVE WILSON Gladys Foster, student pianist, makes no attempt to dazzle an audience with an exhibition of me chanical keyboard technique. One feels that she plays each number for the beatify that is in it, and few can bring out all the shades and variations of that beauty bet ter than she. Her senior recital at the music auditorium last night was refresh ingly unconventional. Instead of opening with the usual concerto of formidable proportions, Miss Fos ter presented a first group consist ing of three numbers of purely classical origin, in which style and delicate melodic treatment were everything. The Mozart Fantasia in D-minor and a Scarlatti Pastorale were played with delicate tone-shading and perfect touch. In the Bach "Bouree" Miss Foster showed that she knows how to combine vigor ousous interpretation with sharp precision. The longest composition on the program was Schumann's Sonata in G-minor. The Presto movement was heavily chorded, but fairly sparkled in its swift movement. In the Andantino, Miss Foster was at her best with the slow, melodic beauty which distinguished her first, group. Debussy’s "Les Cloches a tra vers ief feuille.s” is subject to a wide range of interpretation. Miss Foster's rendition was smooth and graceful, though she perhaps did not. bring out the carillon passages with full effectiveness. Palmgren’s “Berceuse” was the outstanding number of the third group. Chasin’s "Rush Hour in Hong Kong” was as tumultous as one would expect. Opening the concluding group with a Dohnanyi Rhapsody, Miss Foster brought out all its Slavic charm. The concluding number, Schlozer’s Etude in E-flat, was an abstract composition of graceful power. The Mu Phi Epsilon string cpiar tet played two intermission selec tions. Ballet Advocated At Funeral Rites By Noted Dancer NEW YORK, April 12.(—(AP) •—Dancing at funerals was advo cated today by Florence Rogge, dancer. "Not insane hopping around to the accompaniment of jazz," she hastened to explain, "but the slow, graceful movements of the ballet, which is the ideal vehicle for the expression of all emotions — sorrow as well as joy." Her argument is that the Greeks, instead of weeping while a funeral oration was being read over the body of a loved one, gave personal expression to their sadness in ap propriate dances and she sees no reason why Americans should not do likewise. "If every girl in the country took up ballet dancing, America would soon have the most beauti ful, most physically perfect wo manhood in the world,” Miss Rogge says. Co-op Manager l)oparts For Seattle Conference Marion F. McClain, University Co-op manager, left for Portland last night to continue to Seattle with a group of Co-op managers from California schools, where the group will attend a conference of the Western States Division of College Book Stores. Mr. McClain stated that this year the College Book Store asso ciation will work to perfect their buying organization. Their prin cipal work consists in co-operative buying for the group. Last year the association bought 100,000 pounds of one kind of paper from mills located at Hoquiam. That there was no de pression as regards the examina tion output is indicated by the fact that the group bought a solid car-load of blue books of the type used for examinations. (lars Ready for Newport Retreat Formal discussion of arrange ments for establishing libraries in the various living organizations on the campus will be started Thurs day when a committee represent ing the University mothers will meet with student and faculty representatives. The library plan has been under consideration for some time. Members of the Mothers' com mittee are Mrs. F. W. Bond, presi dent of the organization, Mrs. Walter Cook and Mrs. J. F. Hill, all of Portland. The campus groups are led by Karl Onthank, dean of personnel. Under the house library plan books, magazines and current jour nals of board cultural interest woidd be available at each living organization for use by students outside of study hours. The ma terial would be primarily such as is not carried at the University library. It is felt that if the material is available at the residences many students will do an increased amount of reading outside of their course work. This has been found true on several campuses, notably that of the University of Chicago, according to Dean Onthank.

Faville While Richard Whitney, presi dent of the New York stock ex change, and the United States Senate hanking committee argues in -Washington over alleged bear raids and their relation to the present nation-wide depression, David E. Faville, dean of the school of business administration, remains in Eugene and formulates opinions on the investigation. “In my opinion the United States Senate banking committee’s investigation of short selling oper ations in the stock market is a tragic farce,” said Dean Faville, "and it is simply one more case of government tampering with busi ness and hindering economic re covery.” Resumption of the stock market decline last week precipitated the committee's sudden investigation of the market and the probable effect of the market on economic recovery. “The stock market supplies an outlet for securities and protects the liquidity of property/’ con tinued the dean, “and if the stock exchange is closed there is no tan gible medium for the expression of honest opinion as to economic con ditions, even if these conclusions are not optimistic. The depression cannot be cured by disguising true conditions and suppressing facts as they exist. The government would do well to keep ‘hands off’ on the stock mar j ket.” -— Pan Hellenic Sets Time for Dance Final plans for Fan Hellenic dance were announced yesterday at a meeting of that body by Helen i Kaitanen, general chairman.

Iloovrr and CoiiiiuitU't* Plush on Economy Plans WASHINGTON, April 12 (API A wide difference of opinion on how best to secure enactment of n bi>; non-partisan retrenchment pro gram to help balance the budget grew today between President Hoover and the house economy committee. The president invited the group to meet with him again tomorrow at the White House and included in his letter to Chairman McDuf fie a suggestion that the entire economy program be embodied in a single bill. McDuffie, however, has held out for submitting the program in three bills, one for legislative ! changes, another to reduce appro priations and a third to consoli date activities. 1 4 TALKIE TOPICS ► [ Maureen O’Sullivan and Johnny Weissmuller in rarzan, the Ape Man,” opening at the McDonald today. McDonald “Tarzan, the Ape, Man,” with Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan. First nighter. Colonial — ‘‘Young As You Feel” with Will Rogers and Fifi Dor say. First nighter. State — "Five Star Final,” with Edward G. Robindson, and “Pen rod and Sam,” with Leon Jan ney. Rex — “Devil’s Lottery,” and “Cor sair,” with Chester Morris and Alison Loyd (Thelma Todd). Closing night. The Ambassador Will Rogers all dressed up and fit to kill appears today and to morrow at the Colonial in “Young as You Feel.” The most surprising thing about it is that he slicks his famous bangs down with something or other, and appears perfectly at ease in all the swell duds. Will is a business man, success ful (in these times!), and bound to show his young sons that he isn't to be outdone in the business of making whoopie. He works on the theory that whatever age you feel, is your age. Fifi Dorsay, the Canadian girl who wishes she could go to Paris some day, assists Rogers in the whoopie-making. There's our idea of an assistant, especially in the business of making whoopie. Lu cien Littlefield also is featured. In addition to the Rogers show the Colonial has a special feature, “Dempsey Returns, in which an the high spots of all the champion ship fights of Jack Dempsey will be depicted. Tonight is screeno night, too. * * * Those Paper Guys "Five Star Final” with Edward G. Robinson, and “Penrod and Sam” with Leon Janney and Junior Coghlan are showing at the State for the last times tonight. The former is one of the crack news paper pictures of the year, and the latter one of the leading kid pic tures which have been shown late ly Thursday cofries “Local Bad Man” and vaudeville. * * * “Corsair” which is showing for the last times tonight at the Rex with “Devil’s Lottery,” is an av erage rum running picture. There are occasional thrills, such as a ship blowing up in mid-ocean, and a girl getting shot in the back. * » * Swimmer in Air What happens when you put a swimmer in the air? Judging from Johnny Weissmuller in “Tarzan, the Ape Man,” he enters the mov ies and makes good. The show will be at the McDonald from today through Saturday. The story concerns an English man who seeks ivory in Africa. His objective is the fabled ele phants’ burial grourfd, where all elephants are supposed to go tc die. Just as the expedition sets out the Englishman^ *daughtex Maureen O'Sullivan) joins them and insists on accompanying them. In the middle of the jungle Tar zan drops in from the tree tops and takes the girl just like a good cave-man should, only not by the hair. They haven't become that realistic in the movies yet. And so they fall in love. There's an elephant stampede— a tribe of pygmies captures them: and Tarzan kills lions and tigers by twos. We'll tell you about it tomorrow. * * * Surprise Nights lusted Every night in the week except Saturday and Sunday will be "surprise nights” for 10 University students at the Colonial theater, it is announced by Russell Brown, manager. Each day 10 names se lected at random from the Student Directory will be posted on the box office, and these students will be admitted free on the day the names appear. The list of 10 will be changed each day, it is announced. New anesthetics made of syn thetic perfumes, which will give the patient subconscious sensations of fragrance, have been predicted by Prof. Marston T. Bogart, head of the organic chemistry depart ment of Columbia university. Fast Action Urged For Big Tax Bill WASHINGTON, April 12—(APJ —Full speed ahead on the billion dollar tax bill was ordered today by the senate finance committee, as leaders of both parties sought a program to assure business of prompt action. The spirit of cooperation gath ering behind the budget balancing legislation drew appreciation from President Hoover. It was said at the White House the president has no plans for a dramatic economic conference but intends to keep contact with the industrial and banking leaders of the nation. In this connection, the national economic situation was surveyed today at a meeting of all the governors of the 12 federal re serve banks with the federal re serve board. There has been a feeling in the capital that bankers have not been taking full advantage of the liber alized credit provisions of the re cently enacted Glass-Steagall bill No announcement was made at the treasury on the federal reserve parley. Breakfast these days means toasted Williams Bread and Coffee Do yon know that 33 out of 33 houses on the campus serve Wil liams Milk Maid Bread? ’S’ fact! Reason why ? Cooks and house managers know that Williams Bread makes keen toast. They know it has plenty of nutrition per square inch. And they know that the college man and woman has not yet been found who tires of that Williams Bread flavor.
