Streamlined Tenor Star Also Horseback Rider By HUBARD KUOKKA “Man on second!” called Betty Pownall, queen of the Junior Weekend from the stairs of her Pi Phi house Sunday. The girls were all excited. It was none other thin Nino Martini who had stopped after his con cert in McArthur court to pay his respects to the gracious ruler. “She very pretty queen,” Martini remarked. During his concert he had cast numerous appreciative glances to the royal court that formed •iLiuii a ucauunii p/av/ivgiwuiiu win his back to the audience once to sing to Queen Betty and her prin cesses. Slender, graceful, with a sensi tive mouth, delicate fingers, dreamy grey blue eyes, and long, black, wavy hair, Martini looked the artist one dreams about when thinking of the Metropolitan opera, radio, screen, and the concert stage. He has a natural stage per sonality. He was entrancing, in his .smiling sort of way, at the Igloo when he sang. In fact he must have knocked the girls cockeyed the way they came running around after wards. Nino Martini is one of the few tenors who have ever been; able to teach high “F" with easel And his manager, Jack Salter, callsjhim one of the few ‘‘streamlined" tenors, be cause he appeals to the' eye as well as to the ear. Although Martini sings only the finer music on the concert stage he has no aversion to jazz. "Yes, I like jazz,” he said. "Sure ly when I dance, I enjoy dancing to good jazz. 1 depend on mood a lot." "And also whom he is singing to," one of his friends winked. "American J a z z ?” M a r t i n i mused. "America has best jazz in world today. Jass belongs to Am erica.” The fellows guarding the doors and the hallway during the concert thought Nino was all right, too, although they did not at first un derstand the little hums, and odd sounds he made in his room while he was warming up and limbering his throat muscles preparatory to singing. Doug Nichol, prominent Portland horseman who had driven the sing er down to Eugene from Portland, informed that Martini was a very accomplished rider.

It was also whisnered that the opera singer had officiated at the horse show. Ho judged the riders in a women's riding contest and the judges judged the best horse. And not only that. In his last picture "The Gay Desperado,” Mar-; tini had done all his own riding, not using a double for a single riding scene as many stars are wont to do. Ami there was plenty of hard riding in that picture. “Yes, American girls are very beautiful.” Martini said. It was asked if he intended to ’ make America his home. “Oh. no. I think not. I was born in Italia, was raised there; but an artist does not have a home. I guess I belong to all the world." Some day. however, the singer hopes to retire to a little villa in Italy. He is just about to complete a concert tour that started last Nov ember in New York. In two weeks j he will be in Hollywood making a picture "Music for Madame." With this completed he will go to Italy for two weeks' vacation and then return to resume his contract with the Chesterfield program. Speaking of his tour, he shook his head. “Fifty-three concerts, too much."

Importance of Goals in Life Cited by Boyer Gayle Buchanan, B. Hall Also Extend Greetings To Oregon Mothers at Annual Banquet - ‘•Purposefulness is what gives zest to life. A life with no purpose is empty,” stated C. Valentine Boyer, president of the University, in his address at the mother’s day banquet in John Straub memorial building Saturday night. In extending his greetings to the mothers of Oregon, he congratu lated them on their work in pro viding means for letting their chil dren realize their aims. Purpose Cited "The function of education,” he stated, "is to free men to realize their purposes.” That, he brought out, is what parents are doing to aid their children. By sending them to a University where they might attain "purposefulness in life,” they were contributing to the fullness of their lives. Not all purposes, President Boyer explained, are wholesome. Ignorance often leads a person to try to carry out purposes in con flict with those of other men or society as a whole. That, he be lieves, is another function of edu cation to distinguish wholesomd from unwholesome purposes. Education Important Good purposes must have the es sentials of comprehensiveness anti elevation, he stated. "It is neces sary that purposes be elevated and interests should be expanded. That is why I think a University edu cation is important,” he said. Greetings to the guests were also extended by Barney Hall, newly elected president of the student body. Mr. Prescott, dads’ repres entative, Gayle Buchanan, presi dent of AWS, and Mrs. Elbert S. Peets, president of Oregon mothers, and toastmistress of the banquet. luuHic on I'rogram The invocation before the ban- , quet was led by Rev. C. F. Ristow, of the Methodist Episcopal church. The Oregon songmen of Alpha hall, Walter Vernstrom, Freed Bales, Bruce Eddy, and Albert Chamber lin, sang several numbers, includ ing the Oregon “Pledge Song,” and “Mighty Oregon.” Dorothy Louise Johnson, violin student, played Mendel’s “On Wings of Song.” Students of the speech division added humor to the program in the presentation of the comic radio skit, “Mother Comes to College.” Dr. Gould Wickey Will Visit Oregon Campus Dr. Could Wickey, of Washing ton, D.
