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.
Foreigners Registered in
U.S. Schools on Increase
Canada Has Largest Number Enrolled;
Grand Total Reaches Nearly 9000;

largest number of students, 1,933; '
China was second with 1,349, and

"And we’ll dig, dig, dig the

Sung by the seven dwarfs, this

number of students this term.
For most of the "odd jobs” found
for students so far this term
have been spading and planting

There have also been a number
of lawn mowing jobs, the cus

The main trouble is the lack of
enough jobs to keep the students
busy, Miss Runte said.

A Composite Picture and Story of Symphony
Ending a successful year of campus concerts with their
program for the Igor Gorin concert last Wednesday night,
the University symphony orchestra can now wrap its
instruments for another year. 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. Pictured here are: top row left to
riffht, Hex Underwood, director, Julia Balahlzcr, Phoebe
Breyman, Charlotte- Plummer; below, Jim DcOourscy,
Seville Kiley, and Ralph DeCoursey.
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.

Annual Glee
For April 22
'Lil Abner' Theme
Chosen; Want Big
Name Band; Queen
To Be Daisy Mae
The '‘Li’l Abner" theme chosen
by frosh heads to typify their an
nual Frosh Glee, set for April 22,
had official approval this week
when A1 Capp, originator of the
comic strip, wrote that he may be
able to attend the dance, and that
he thinks the idea is “swell.”
Walker Treece and Bill Loud,
committee chairmen, are still
angling for a big name orchestra
from the south for the affair but
cannot make any definite an
nouncement until next week.
To Choose Daisy Mae
Chief feature of the annual Glee
will be the election of a campus
“Daisy Mae" from the freshman
entries of all living organizations
on the campus. Next week the
committee chairmen will notify the
girls’ houses about qualifications
of the nominees they choose for
the honor. Voting will be handled
at the door, in the same manner
that the Little Colonel was se
lected.
McArthur court has been se
cured for the annual affair, when
special guests will be high school
seniors from all parts of Oregon
here for their first introduction
into college life, and a little pre
season rushing.
Decorations chairmen have re
ceived drawings of all of the “Li'l
Abner” characters from Mr. Capp,
and promise that all of Skunk Hoi- .
low will be there to welcome danc
ing Webfoots.
The dance was formerly sched
uled for April 15, but Loud an.l
Treece exchanged the date last
night with AWS carnival chairme i
in order to get a good orchestra.
