Kreisler Concert Monday To Mark Epoch in History Of Eugene’s Music Events One of the greatest events in the cultural history of the University will be the appearance of Fritz Kreisler, master violinist of the modern world, at McArthur Court on Monday at 8 p.m. Reservations for the concert, first on the ASUO series totaled between three and four thousand yesterday, with large increases expected upon the arrival of the “old grads” for Homecoming. While me rvreisier concert is not a part of the Homecoming program, it will be possible for many of the visitors to hear the great violinist. Charges $2000 Fee Kreisler comes to the Oregon campus at a cost of $2000, largest amount ever offered to an artist appearing here. This is Kreisler’s first public con cert in Eugene. He will arrive Monday at 12:10 a.m. with his manager and his Stradivarius vio lin .. . the favorite instrument of the musician. The eagerness with which Eu STARTS SUNDAY MAMA,THOSE MEN ARE HERE AGAIN! —and they’re out to beat all previous Hysterics in these re pm versio n of ‘ Broadway's, two- Season laugh sensation! gene audiences are awaiting the Monday concert may be measured by the opinion advanced by Dean John J. Landsbury of the Univer sity school of music. Greatest Musician “I consider him really the great est figure in the musical world to day," the Dean said. “He has abil ity not only to satisfy critical listeners, but also those who are not critics . . . who are looking for an artistic message. He is a past master at pleasing the rank and file. His splendid liberal education is reflected in his playing. He is not only a' violinist, but lie is a culti vated* educated gentleman.” Educated in Europe Aside from his education in the music centers of Europe, (he was admitted to the Vienna Conserva tory at the age of seven and to the Paris Conservatory when he was ten) Kreisler received training in medicine when he decided after his first American tour to become a physician. The violinist’s hobbies are his dog and his books. He has a very fine collection of rare volumes. NOW! RAMON NOVARRO MARIAN MARSH in “DESPERATE ADVENTURE” — PLUS — CHARLIE STARRETT in “THE COLORADO TRAIL” BING CROSBY IV^ARY CARLISLE in “DOCTOR RHYTHM” — PLUS — JACK HOLT in “MAKING HEADLINES” Wire Baskets Set New High In PE Record A tisket, a tasket, a little wire basket, in fact, 1700 of them. Something like that may have been the triumphant tune of Frank Plinsky, equipment care taker in the school of physical education. Approximately 1700 baskets have been checked out to men students by Mr. Plinsky, which sets a new all-time high in the history of that department. The previous record was set last year during the winter term when the peak in registration for this department was reached. Another reason for jubilance, from the standpoint of Mr. Plin sky, is the expected arrival of a shipment of new warm-ups which were ordered some time ago. The new warm-ups are ex pected to arrive in the very near future. Museum Court Open Exhibits Changed For Homecoming Officials of the Murray Warner museum of oriental art have an nounced that, as a special home coming attraction, the inside court of the museum will be opened to the public during the regular “open hours,’’ Saturday from 10-12, and on Sunday from 3-5. New exhibits at that time will include a 19th century Russian chalice of gold, onyx and enamel, which will be found in the glass case directly facing the main en trance. This is the first time the chalice has been exhibited. Several icons, or Russian relig ious paintings, have been placed in a nearby room. Oregon Profs Will (Continued from page one) W. Leighton of the school of phys ical education will discuss “Devel oping Strong Bodies, Able Minds.” Tuesday at 3:30 “Mastering Skills and Knowledge” will bring to the microphone H. B.

Honorable mention was given the SAEs, Sigma Nus and Men’s co-op among the men’s houses and to Kappa Kappa Gamma and Alpha Omicron Pi in the women's group. The Theta Chi’s noise contrap tion, that’s about what it was, con sisted of five or six circular saws with jack-hammers, a model “T” Ford mounted on the bed of a truck, and a compressed air gun. The rear wheels of the model “T” were jacked up and had chains fastened to them which beat a huge circular saw as the wheel turned. Pi Kaps Kunners Up Finishing a strong second, the Pi Kappa’s “baby locomotive” caused many watchers to grab their ears as it blasted from its many whistles. The Alpha Gamma Delta’s win ning sign pictured a huge orchid in which sat an Oregon coed rooter. The title over it w-as “An orchid to Oregon,” Theta Chi’s novel sign consisted of a huge locomo tive set upon rails with the wdieels moving as if it were going full speed ahead. A few feet in front of the “Duck Limited,” as the streamliner was termed, was the Idaho Vandal on a handcar. From all appearances the Van dal was pumping with all his strength to get away from the fast moving Duck crew, but to no avail, he was slowly being chased ’ toward the State pen, which was | represented at the end of the line.

R. Huestis, of the zoology department has been pursuing since 1924 in an effort to determine the specific characters which are inherited by mice through the generations. The population of this colony, which is now about six hundred, has been threatened several times by epidemics of disease which Dr. Hues tis combats by placing the infected mice in solitary confinement. The average life span of a mouse is between two and three vears, CAMPUS CALENDAR Saturday. 4:30—A hike starts from Westminster house. Bring your own lunch. Sunday. 9:45- Dr. L. F.

The Legion band was followed by the Univer sity band in their new shining green uniforms. At the rally after the noise fcst, prominent alumni expressed their enthusiasm over “such a great show of spirit.” Oregon’s Tex Oli ver spoke a few words, climaxing his speech with “If the team catches a little of this great spirit you kids have shown tonight, it most certainly will be poor Van dals.” Eugene townspeople, grads, and students alike were emphatic in stating that if the spirit shown in the parade and rally last night was any indication, “Oregon is definitely going places.” £lidr\mm.

Elliott, Scc.-Trcas. but very often the tiny specimens die at birth, or inherit brain tu mors or fits of violent trembling which result in their early death. When a mouse reaches the age of five or six, he becomes grey and feeble and his movements are slow er. Fits of epilepsy very similar to those affecting human beings are common among ailing mice. From his experimental breeding thus far, Dr. Huestis has been able to develop coat colors of ivory, brown, silver, and bay. Some of the mice have inherited flexed tails like those of manx cats, which enable them to go around corners more adeptly. The diet of a mouse contains mixed grain, chicken feed, and cod liver oil. “Authough I handle them frequently,” said Dr. Huestis, “they seem to be much more familiar with the sound of the feeding dish than they are with me.” Stage Set (Continued from page one) some of the experiences of those two decades in fictional form. For the young person interested in writing, he asserts there is no better field to study than journal ism, declaring that too deep a literature study will develop a critic rather than a novelist. "How ever,” he said, "I do not believe that the young writer who wants to write fiction should stay for long in the newspaper office. The two types of writing have styles too utterly different.” He declared that magazine edi Eugene Gleemen Scheduled for GoldenfGate|Fair Will Give Annual Concert in Portland On February 17 Scheduled to sing at the Golden Gate International exposition in San Francisco are the Eugene Gleemen, it was recently an nounced by their conductor, Pro fessor John Stark Evans of the University school of music. Though the date has not been set definitely, it is likely that they will sing during Oregon week at the fair in June. The Gleemen Is one of the i best known singing organizations in the Northwest.

J It is merely that it is the old writ ers who can write with the tech nique required in fiction. “But once the young writer masters that technique, he can write more easily of these times than the older man,” i he explained, “and since a lot of j people will think as he does, a lot i will like what he writes.” He has written for the Saturday Eevening Post, Cosmopolitan. Good Housekeeping, and other leading magazines, and has written a great many books. Speaking of his own reading experiences, he admitted that, while he always writes fiction, he never reads it, but confines the literature he reads to travel, biography, philosophy and science. * «f Welcome Home GRADS!
