'Tragi-comedg' Is Dance Theme — Graham Program i To Offer 'Contrast' Monday Night Contrast and variety are evident in the program which Martha Gra ham and her troupe will present at McArthur court Monday night as ; Eugene audiences witness her “Ev ery Soul is a Circus," satirical mo | dern dance program. This modern dance theme is not supposed to represent the three ring show type, but is rather a circus of ridiculous situations and silly behavior. Miss Graham, her self, dances the feature role in this tragi-comedy. Other works which will be por trayed will be the “American Docu ment,” an expression of the re affirmation of belief in this coun try's democratic form of govern ment. “Frontier,” the California born artist’s trademark, just as the “Swan Dance” was Pavlova’s, will also be presented for the Igloo audiences. Reserved seats for Miss Gra ham's Oregon performance are $1 and $1.50, general admission is 75 cents with ASUO card holders to receive a 25 cent reduction. Tick ets are on sale at the student activ ities office in McArthur court. W. B. Nash to Read The last reading hour of the term will be held in the browsing room Tuesday. March 5. W. R.
