Un Carnet de Bal' Draws Praise From UO Students, Faculty in Showing Here Many students and faculty mem bers of the University took time out yesterday from the daily rou tine of college life to view “Un Carnet de Bal,” much publicized French motion picture. The University group proved to be no exception to audiences in praising the picture. Despite the length of the film—almost two hours—they sat quietly in their seats, absorbed with the excellent acting and photography. Scenery, Little Action Beautiful Alpine, Swiss and Ital ian scenes were so well woven in and so well photographed that they carried vivid' impressions of those countries. Each of the eight different parts of the picture was filmed in a different setting. One criticism might be labeled against the picture from the stand point of an American audience and that ... its lack of action. A con siderable part of the picture is pure setting and dialogue. This criticism, however, would fit most foreign pictures equally well and at least the lack of action serves as a relief from the type of film turned out of late by American producers. The leading role of Christine is well played by Marie Bell, cele brated French star. Light comedy in the picture is excellent with Louis Jouvet Jo the night club owner, Raimu the mayor, and Fer nandel the hair dresser furnishing the laughs.

A big Oregon spree in the bot tom half of the second inning, knotted the score, however, and the Webfoots managed to stay i even until the Pacific half of the seventh inning when Leftfielder McIntosh larruped a long home run into center off Relief Pitcher A1 Linn who was charged with the defeat.

Seven Dwarfs Matched by UO Odd-Jobbers "And we’ll dig, dig, dig the whole day through.” Sung by the seven dwarfs, this lirtle chant well applies to a number of students this term. For most of the "odd jobs” found for students so far this term have been spading and planting gardens, said Miss Violet Runte, secretary to Miss Janet Smith. There have also been a number of lawn mowing jobs, the cus tomary housework and caring for children. The main trouble is the lack of enough jobs to keep the students busy, Miss Runte said. feet squeeze bunt by Shorstop Mal lory.

A proposed trip that would have taken the group on tour throughout the Northwest did not work out as planned. According to Mr. Adolf Bailer, Gorin’s accompanist and a European conductor, the Oregon symphony rates second to no university er chestra in 1 !n- nation.

Work of U O Symphony Reviewed as Its Year Closes By GLENN HASSELROOTH The 70-odd members of the Uni versity symphony orchestra, gar nered from all schools and depart ments oil the campus, say that they play in the symphony “most ly for fun" in spite of the long hours of group rehearsals and pri vate practice they put in. Rehearsals, held two or more times weekly, last from two to tv/o and a half hours. The amount of individual practice of private paits is, of course, immeasurable, but it is believed longer than group practice periods. Although only one hour's credit is given for this work there is always a large turn out from students, more than half of whom arc not majoring in mu sic. Three concerts during the win ter season have increased the fame and prestige of the orchestra which grew from a 15-piece group in 1920 to its present status under the leadership of Director Rex Un derwood. Mr. Underwood is still as enthu siastic about his group as he was almost two decades ago, and takes a personal interest in the perform ance of each player. He bases se lection of his program on many of their performances, which include the works of Beethoven, Brahms, and Tschaikowsky. “A good oboe or French horn player is a lot harder to find than a good tackle or end,” Mr. Under wood s lid, comparing the loss of some of bis best musicians at the end of a year to a football team's loss of star players. “Few students ever take up those instruments and wc have to do plenty of scouting around to find them.” Althf ugh the regular concert season in Eugene is over, Mr. Un derwood is not waiting idly for next September to come. Planning future projects and programs for the orchestra take up much of his time. He keeps hoping--and •working for a bigger and better University orchestra. songs WANTED poems $100.00 cash prize and royalty contract for winning song Writ'- for entry blank a ml enclose postage.
