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.

‘Hands Off9 Stock
Market, Advises
David E. 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.”

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.

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.

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

New anesthetics made of syn

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.
