Praises Voiced by Musicians For Joseph Hoffman, HeifiU ( During the course of the win ter term, the people of Eugene and the students of the University are to have the unusual opportunity to hear two of the world's leading living Musicians. Jascha Heifitz, violinist, is scheduled to appear in concert in McArthur court on Jan uary 19, under the auspices of the A.S.U.O. One of the most famed gnd accomplished pianists, Joseph Hoffman is also to appear on the campus. His concert is scheduled for February 10. Student body cards will admit students to these two concerts free of charge. George Hopkins, professor of pi ano in the school of music, stated yesterday that Hoffman, whom he I has heard on both coasts, gives a very authoritative interpretation of his music. He appeals to the American audience because he achieves his pianistic effects in. a modest and uneffected manner. “I heartily agree with the foremost critics that Hoffmann is one of the greatest pianists of all times.” Hopkins stated that it hardly seemed necessary to suggest to the students to make every effort to hear Hoffman. Mrs. Jane Thacher, also profes sor of piano, said of the great pi anist: “Mr. Hoffmann’s career has been one of the rare cases of vir tuoso emerging from a wunder kind who has thrilled audiences throughout Europe. At the pres ent time his art as a musician and his virtuosity as a pianist has been considered the world over as the very greatest. It is a privilege for us in Eugene to be able to hear him.” Of Jascha Heifitz, Rex Under wood, professor of music, said that “he is one of the greatest violin ists living today.” Underwood has heard Heifitz give concerts many times, both in America and in Eur ope. Underwood expressed sur prise that Heifitz could be secured for a local concert and praised the A.S.U.O. committee for bringing such a famous world figure to Eu gene He said that he knew many people who are coming from Port land to 'attend the concert. The professor of music concluded by stressing the fact that everyone should make every effort to hear Heifitz, as he is undoubtedly the greatest living violin technician.

'Terrorists’ Grip Campus; Sacred Bench Maltreated Wild, ruthless “terror” ran ram pant over the quiet, peaceful con fine of the Oregon campus Wed nesday night. Aping the clandestine methods of Russia’s dreaded O.G.P.U. the advance guard moved stealthily, and closed around the old libe. Spies crept slowly through the cold, dripping fog toward the un suspecting objective. A mad rush—and it was all over. The attackers had the ’dope” on the hapless victim. The “dope” was nauseating green and yellow paint inartistical ly smeared. The undeserving vic tim, Oregon’s sacred senior bench. But the fiendish “terrorists” found that "crime does not pay.' Yesterday embarrassed frosh, pat riots of the class of ’38, suffered the indignity of scrubbing the tra ditional bench into a semblance of its former glory.

Although the Esquire magazine is read by all young men who wish to be "up” on the latest styles of men’s clothing, the dance will not be a style show. Instead, it is to be informal in nature and the whole campus is Invited to attend The price of admission to the a*1 fair has not as yet been announced. The "Krawl” will be the first dance of the winter term and of the new year and is always antici pated with much pleasure by the students. The locale of the big doings will be the Eugene hotel.
