Celeste Instrument Used By Jurgens Band Member The Frosh Glee will present Dick Jurgens and his orchestra Friday night. One of the features of this orchestra is the versatility of the mem bers of the group. Practically every man doubles on some instrument other than the one which he usually plays. Lou Gaulding, in addition to being one of the arrangers, intersperses his masterful technique on the piano with brief refreshing strains on tne ceieste. The celeste, a small upright in-1 strument somewhat on the order of a studio piano, produces music by the striking of keys which in turn actuate small chimes that resound in the most pleasant bell-like tone. The use of the celeste has given Jurgens’ orchestra a distinctive mark of identification. The celeste, as far as Dick is con cerned, came into existence when he heard one played in a symphony concert. Immediately Dick sent to France for a replica of this instru ment that had so impressed him, and soon it was part of his or chestra. The success of Dick Jurgens and his orchesta is shown by the num ber of smash engagements at Ho tel St. Francis, San Francisco; the Palomar, Los Angeles. Jurgen’s music has frequently been broad cast over the coast-to-coast net work of the National Broadcasting system. Gridders Prepare (Continued from page four) is likely to be held on Hayward field. ! Returning to practice this week is Paul Rowe. Rowe’s ailing an kle has healed enough for him to hobble through team drills, but he will not be allowed to enter scrim- j mages this week. Still out are Ron Husk and Gene Shultz, both guards. Also on the sidelines is Ted Gebhardt, hard-kicking triple threat Webfooter. Gebhardt chipped a bone in his leg in a gym workout some time ago, and has been troubled by the injury throughout the spring session. In case his leg is not well two weeks hence, his punting duties will probably be taken over by Vic Reginato. Certain to see action in the Jun ior weekend game are Dave Gam mon and Duke Hankinson, two backs whose passing is becoming more accurate every day.

Entered as second-class mail matter at the nostffice “cvVucv Oregon. ’ SIDE SHOW Edited by ... . Paul Deutschmann Has Hitler begun his new drive ? The demands of Konrad Hen lein, leader of Czechoslovakian nazis, and the resulting cabinet crisis in the Hodza ministry, are dismayingly similar to the events preceding the Austrian coup. Yesterday Henlein, who has been spurting into the news as the head of 3,500,000 “Sudeten Deutsch,” demanded self-gov ernment under nazi precepts for his followers at a party con gress. The cabinet was imme diately called for an emergen cy session. # * * While Americans may smile at the incongruity of people asking for “self-government’’ under policies akin to dictator ship, the situation is no smil ing matter for the Czechs. If the matter were primarily an internal problem it could be dismissed as it has been up to the present. However, reports that Hen lein conferred with Germany’s Goering before his speech, in dicate that the fine ^hand of Hitler is close behind. If Hit ler proceeds as he has prom ised with his twentieth cen tury program of “Irridentism” for German minorities, the Czechs can expect little but loss of the areas bordering Germany. A number of factors confuse the situation. Of special inter est are the awakening move ments in Poland and Hungary also to recover national minor ities from Czechoslovakia. First speculation on the subject would be that Germany is be hind these demands. This is tenable when one considers the alliance of the Germans and the Poles, but fails to be reason able in consideration of Hun gary. The other viewpoint, that these movements are indepen dent of nazi plotting, is also possible. The idea of racial lib eration is always a live sub ject in the confused Balkans, where ethnic problems are so complicated that even experts get headaches endeavoring to figure them out. . If the first alternative ip true all is well in Nazi land, for the combined pressure of Hungary, Poland, and Germany would be enough to force her into agree ment. But if the second be the fact. Hitler should be consid erably embarrassed by the flood of "racial liberation” move ments. tj» X :Je Whatever happens among' these*'' natrons, another facto li on the sideline should be noted. It is the newly solidified Korefl Paris-London accord. Hitler threw his Rome-Berlin axis ot# balance by the Austrian ''.An schluss” and Mussolini’s retal iation (as well as retrench ment) was the agreement witV England and France. Just hew much weight thin wili carry remains to be seeny however. The situation in Eur ope, while considerably eased!* from the tension of recent months, is more than ever a question mhrk. Alignments materialize and dematerializo* like the Arabs and their tents. Observers and prophets whet have been picking- the line-apt*' for the next war have quite a time keeping up on substitu tions, trades, and hold-only. And this all before the gamer has even started. ❖ * :■* A thought just came to m. What if there wasn’t going to be a war? Choir Will Present 'St. Paul' Oratorio The famous oratorio, “St. Paul,” recognized as Mendelssohn’s contri bution to this type of composition, will be the title of the performance to be given by the University poly phonic choir in the music audi torium May 12. The choir, under direction of Paul Petri, professor of music, has been working on the musical mas terpiece for several months. “St. Paul,” noted for its beautiful choruses has also several lovely solo selections. The soloists for the performance will be announced later. Colonel Bill's (Continued from page five) jngton Huskies on Hayward field. Don Barker and Bob Mitchell, Oregon’s distance “twins,” who Saturday pranced across the line in a dead heat finish in the mile run over 50 yards ahead of Portland university runners, wrere instruc ted by Hayward to pace a 3:17 three-quarters last night. Please Hayward To Hayward’s delight the two Duck runners “hit it right on the nose.” Kirman Storli, sophomore half mile sensation, sprinted a fast 1:26 three-eights of a mile, while sprin ters Mack Robinson, who ran a 9.7 hundred Saturday after a bad start, and Jim Buck, worked on starts. * Captain Len “Dutch” Holland, Pacific coast discus champ, has had trouble this year with his cast-a way motion. He threw the platter over 144 feet Saturday, however, I and is rapidly returning to last year’s form. > Hayward’s forces were weakened Junior Weekend Stationery to Be Given Out Today The latest thing in Junior weekend stationery—a combina tion envelope, advertisement, and sheet of writing paper—will be distributed to all living or ganizations this noon.
