    Ravel’s "Bolero*
Is Band’s Choice
For Next Concert
Templer lo Play Difficult
Trombone Solo
The University of Oregon band,
directed by John H. Stehn, is hold
ing extra rehearsals and group
practices in order to have its con
cert ready to present Sunday
March 10.
This concert will be held in Mc
Arthur court under auspices of
the ASUO, but no admission will
be charged townspeople, and stu
dent body tickets will not be nec
essary for University students.
One of the outstanding numbers
of the program is “Bolero,” by
Maurice Havel. “Bolero” is a num
ber which has swept the world. It
has a rhythm which borders on
madness. Not for a second during
the entire program does the throb
of drums cease, and from the very
first note they begin a steady cres
cendo which is checked only by the
last wild chord and cymbal clash.
This selection is either an imme
diate favorite, or intensely dis
liked. The majority of music-lov
ers are highly enthusiastic about
it and will attend programs time
after time to hear that composition
alone. The band has a full instru
mentation and the musicians are
fully capable of playing the num
ber.
Alvin E. Templer, trombonist
and experienced musician, will pre
sent "Atlantic Zephyrs,” by Gar
delle Simons as a solo. The trom
bone is one of the most popular
solo instruments of the brass choir.
It has a flexibility of tone and
pitch, a smooth shift from note to
note which is unrivaled by any
other musical instrument, with the
possible exception of the violin.
“Atlantic Zephyrs” is a number
recognized by trombonists as a
highly difficult selection, calling
for the utmost in execution and
matchless tone perfection. How
ever, when well played it is a num -
ber which is not readily forgotten
by the audience.

Old Dictionary by
Samuel Johnson
Added to Library
A copy of one of the most fam
ous and ponderous works of the
squally famous and ponderous Dr.
Samuel Johnson, his dictionary,
was added to the University li
brary Monday. This copy, which
is the seventh edition, was pub
lished in 1785, the year after the
death of the author. It weighs 18
pounds and is 12 by 14 inches,
with a thickness of three inches.
As the first of the word books
to give synonyms as well as defi
nitions, it has been called the first
adequate dictionary. Nearly one
fourth of the pages have been left
blank for the addition of other
words. The history of the English
language, through the stages of
old English, Saxon and other dia
lects, with examples of the best
literature in each is included in the
Introduction, with his reasons for
writing the book.
Some of the definitions show bits
of Johnson’s personality, such as
the description of a lexicographer
as a harmless drudge.
Survey Reveals
MenBuy as Many
Prints as Coeds
A survey made following the
sale of the Japanese woodblock
prints in the Co-op store from th?
Shima Art company of New York
City, reveals that Oregon men stu
dents are as equally art-minded as
the women students, having bought
almost as many prints as the wo
men, according to a report released
by the store yesterday.
Although the prints were not
the original works of the artists,
Marion F. McClain, manager of
the Co-op said that response from
students and townspeople was not
negligible. Aesthetic appreciation
among students was somewha'.
spurred by the reasonable prices
for vt’hlch the prints were offered.
A few copies from each of the
Jpts are still on sale. Utamaro
jind Hokusai prints predominate
lamong the remainders, Mr. MC

Governor Will
Attend Annual
Senior Dance
Features May Be Given
By Vaudeville Circuit;
Tickets on Sale
Tom McCall, chairm.an of the
Senior Ball yesterday received an
acceptance from Gov. Charles H.
Martin of the invitation extended
him to attend the ball. The ac
ceptance of the invitation virtually
assures a governor’s presence at
this big dance, for the first time
in several years.
Negotiations for features are be
ing carried on with a prominent
vaudeville circuit. These negotia
tions, if consummated, will bring
some of the most versatile colored
talent on the Pacific coast to Ger
linger hall on March 9.
McCall urged that those plan
ning to attend the dance buy the'r
tickets early as a limited number
has been issued. Tickets are on
sale in all living organizations, the
Co-op, Walt and Sid’s pharmacy,
and McMorran and Washburne’s.
Much comment has been heard
on the campus as regards the Sen
ior Ball directorate’s selection of
Bart Woodyard’s music. Wood
yard has for the last year been
playing in the Arabian Room of
the Multnomah hotel, and broad
casting over national radio hook
ups two and three times a week.

Temperance Necessary in
'Heavy Water’Experiments
j^roi. K.iaus luansen, oi usio i
university, Norway, should get a 1
sever stomach ache from drink- !
ing “heavy water’’ in experiments :
he is now carrying on, he would j
get little sympathy from other ■
scientists. This is because the pres- 1
ent supply of “heavy water,” a new ■ <
fluid recently discovered is very ]
limited, and a good sized drink is 1
worth several thousand dollars. To
try its effect on the human body,
when many experiments remain to ,
be done on small animals, is sheer ,
waste at this time.
This is the view held by O. F. ,
Stafford, professor of chemistry at ,
the University of Oregon, whose
recent work in concentrating water ■
for “heavy water” attracted na- ;
tional attention. Numerous other
scientists, he points out, among
them Dr. H. C. Urey of Columbia,
discoverer of the fluid, feel the
same way about it.
Large Quantities Needed
In order to change the water
content of the human body, which
amounts to 65 percent of the total
weight, into heavy water, Professor
Hanson would have to drink a
great many quarts of the fluid. At
the same time, a few drops given
to a mouse will effect marked
changes in his fluid content, and
the reactions can be easily studied
by scientists.
Professor Hanson started out
with a drink of ten grams, which
s worm aoout per gram, nis i j
argest dose is scheduled to cost <
5500, and his experiment will use i
54,000 worth of heavy water. A
freat many experiments could be
:arried on with this amount if
ised in other ways, while the ,
luantity is scarcely enough to ,
lave any effect on the human .
>ody, scientists believe.
Double Amount Hydrogen
Because heavy water has double ,
he amount of hydrogen that or- ,
linary water has, it is suspected :
hat it might have unusual effect ,
>n life. Early experiments on seeds .
ind fish showed it slowed up life
irocesses. A mouse fed heavy ;
viter with a medicine dropper in
i University of California expei’i
nent acted very strangely, as if
temporarily' poisoned. Based on
these preliminary experiments, it
las been suggested that heavy
vater may be a matter of life and
ieath, and the idea has been put
forth that old age and senility is
caused by a gradual accumulation
jf heavy water in the body.
However, experiments carried on
it Yale showed that low concen
trations of heavy water appear to
nave a stimulating effect on
growth of simple plants.
Dr. Urey is not among those
vho believe it would be dangerous
to drink heavy water, while other
scientists, until more data are
forthcoming, make no predictions.
TUXEDOS will be worn at the

Traditions Parade
(Continued from Page One)
■sis into the students’ attitude on
his subject, the group had not
ealized the general desire on the
>art of Oregon students that tra
litions be once more installed on
he Oregon campus.
Finley Explains Action
For that reason, Finley said that
he Skull and Dagger was now
■eady to back whatever group is
assigned the task of enforcing
hese traditions. Finley's state
nent follows:
“I feel that traditions have be
:ome an inseparable part of Ore
gon campus life, and that the an
lual cry for the return of the Ore
gon spirit is futile without an
ictive set of traditions.
“The present plan seems work
ible, or it would not be receiving
.he whole-hearted support that it
s from several organizations on
:he campus. Whatever method is
adopted, I feel assured that Skull
md Dagger and the spirited class
}f which we are a part will always
back this 'on to traditions' move
ment.”
Davis, Johnson Comment
Alan F. Davis, president of the
sophomore class, said, “No longer
will the tug-of-war be a miserable
farce. I will,not see the day when
the class of ’38 will ‘take’ ’37. As
president, I will see that any tra
ditions affecting our class are car
ried out to the last degree.”
Melvin Johnson, member of Skull
and Dagger, said, “I would be will
ing to wear a green lid if it would
brig back traditions.”
