Thielsen Song Recital at Music Auditorium Praised By Critic By DAVE WILSON Beginning with a song that was a favorite of Galli-Curci and clos ing with one that Schumann-Heink made famous, Nancy Thielsen, so prano, presented a senior recital program at the music auditorium last evening that was worthy in scope of either of these great singers. From the opening “Air and Vari ations” by Proch, to the final “Last Rose of Summer" from Flo tow’s “Martha,” Miss Thielsen maintained a consistently high standard of musicianship. Just what is it that makes it a pleasure to hear Nancy sing? A part of it is surely her personality, her charming stage presence. Her ability as an actress gives her priceless poise. She smiles at the right times and not too often. She bows when it is demanded and not I otherwise. Her gestures of hant and head as she sings are naturn and perfectly correlated with tht music. But all these talents would b( like frosting on a sawdust cake i! Miss Thielsen did not have £ splendid voice and a thoroughly artistic style for the heart an< core of her programs. If her talen* and technique could be imaginei as a material object, one could wel write "finished product" on tht lid. A little more warmth anc abandon, just a bit of softening or the metallic sheen of her higt notes, and Nancy Thielsen will be on the road that leads to stardom Her performance in the open ing “Air and Variations," a num ber far beyond the reach of ar ordinary student, showed hov, brilliantly she can handle staccatc (Continued on Page Three) Education School Granted Power To Give New Degrees Master, Doctor of Education May Be Awarded for Work Here The University of Oregon school of education has been granted the right by the Board of Higher Edu cation to give degrees of Master and Doctor of Education, Henry D. Sheldon, dean of the school, said Tuesday. These degrees call for a new line of work which has been recently established in other schools on the coast. It will enable the education school here to meet demands for this work, and hold its allotment of graduate students. They have lready been eight or ten people ex press their intentions of working here, and any others interested should apply to Dean Sheldon for a description of the courses and the requirements for admittance. The degrees are for superintend ents and principals who desire to go on in the professional field; they are not intended for profes sors of education in normal schools and colleges. The faculty of the University passed on the question in Novem ber, 1930, and it was then referred to the Board of Higher Education, which deferred action until this April because 6f the reorganization of the state schools. Requirements are the same as for similar degrees in law and med icine, but the difference in the de grees lies in the emphases, Dean Sheldon said. The M. A. and Ph.D. in other fields base the work on background studies and research; while in education the emphasis is more on experience and technical skill. What’s th9 Verdict Executive Council; Is He Eligible “Well, this is the third time I have voted for a junior president,” commented one student as he dropped his ballot in the box. “How come the third time?” “I'm still a sophomore, so that's the class I vote with.” This is the way that the par ticular voter became entitled to cast so many votes for candidates for junior president. Back in 1924, when he was a freshman in civil engineering at Corvallis, background of social sci ence was not on his curriculum. According to the A. S. U. O. con stitution he is still a sophomore until he makes up the course. The first vote was cast when he was in Corvallis for the second year, 1928. Then last spring, he enrolled here. The registrar called him a sophomore, so he voted with the sophomore class. He won’t get his "J. C.” until this spring, so he voted again with the sophomores. “Say, how many terms have you been in school anyway?” "This makes the 12th. But I am only a sophomore.” AKRON OFF SHORE COAST GUARD STATION, Ta toosh Island, Wash., May 24 — (AP)—The navy dirigible, Akron, passed over here at 6:20 tonight, heading out over the ocean on its way to Sunnyside, California.

Grand Jury Will Consider Curtis Case Thursday Boat Builder To Be Tried In June if Indictment Is Returned By FRANCIS A. JAMIESON (Associated Press Staff Writer) HOPEWELL, N. J., May 24.— (AP)—The strange coterie of in termediaries, who once buoyed false hope for the return of the slain Lindbergh baby, monopolized the murder hunt today—one in a jail cell; another before a grand jury and a third sponsoring an ap peal to the ransom receiver. The course to be pursued in pros ecuting John Hughes Curtis, con fessed and imprisoned hoax nego tiator, brought Anthony M. Hauck, Jr., Hunterdon county prosecutor, to the Lindbergh estate for a con ference. At its conclusion the prosecutor announced he planned to lay the Curtis case before the grand jury at Flemington, N. J., Thursday. Should an indictment be returned, he said, it would be reported form ally Saturday. In the event of an indictment he said a speedy trial in June would be set for Curtis, but there was no (Continued on Page Four) — Mott Retains Lead As Count Goes On PORTLAND, Ore., May 24.— (API—The youthful, dynamic James W. Mott, state corporation commissioner, maintained his lead over Representative Willis C. Haw ley, veteran congressman from Oregon, today as official returns in Friday’s primary election were checked. Mott, whose wet policy and his energetic attack on Hawley’s tar iff measures and proposals won I him a tremendous following of Re publican voters throughout the first Oregon district, had a lead of but 174 out of a total of 61,654 votes cast. He polled 30,914, and Hawley received 30,740. Penny-Wise And Pound Foolish, Weep for Willie Twenty-five years and fifty million bucks. No, not a jail sentence. Just the time spent by Congressman Hawley in his fight for dear old Oregon. Two million a year is the average good old Willie jim mied out of the pork barrel for our fair state. And now the people vote him down in the primaries. Is that appreciation for cash and serv ice rendered? He became no torious through the infamous Hawley-Smoot tariff; he forgot to put lumber on the tariff list and made us soak up a tax on everything else. But Oregon doesn’t forget. So Jim Mott, who spends his time clubbing corporations in stead of clubbing with them will make the journey to Washing ton in Hawley’s place. Hope Jim will remember he’s a United States congressman first; a congressman from Ore gon second. Numerically, WEBFOOT CHARLEY. Charley Oregon Stops ’ Cougars With Score ot 3 to 1 Edwards Uoids W. S.

World War Vets Resume Caravan For Bonus Plea Over 300 Make Transfer From Freight Train To Trucks CASEYVILLE, 111., May 24.— (API—Moving- by motor, more than 300 World war veterans re sumed tonight a march on the na tion's capital to urge upon con gress immediate bonus payment. They thus continued a transconti nental journey from Portland, Ore., which began two weeks ago by train and which ended—as a rail trip—here early today when the «x-soldiers surrendered a Balti more and Ohio freight train on which they had hoped to ride to their destination. While the veterans waited for the arrival of truck and automo biles provided by St. Clair county and the East St. Louis 111., Ameri can Legion post, to carry them to Washington, Indiana., on the first leg of their motor trip, six com panies of Illinois national guards men, were concentrated at East St. Louis, a dozen miles from the “bonus army.” The troops found no demand for their service, so or derly was the assembly of the un employed veterans. Three officers of the guard, in cluding Brig. General Thomas F. Hammond of Chicago, chatted with the men shortly before their de parture and conferred with W. L. Moody, superintendent of state highway police, who headed an es cort of twenty patrolmen accom panying the caravan across Illi nois. The veterans spent three days in a vain effort to obtain freight train passage from St. Louis to Washington. They commandeered several cars of a Baltimore and Ohio freight train yesterday when the railroad Refuted to furnish empty cars and carry them as pas sengers. The freight consisted of fruits, vegetables and other per ishable goods, and for a time it was feared the delay would cause spoiling of the contents.
