Symphony’s 'Melody’ Pieces Chosen Popular Works Will Keynote Free Concert Rex Underwood's Program to Use Novelty Numbers With final rehearsals about to end, Director Rex Underwood Fri day night announced the complete program which the 70-piece Uni versity symphony orchestra will play next Tuesday night at 8 o’ clock, when a free concert is pre sented under the auspices of the Emerald staff. The six symphonic works to be played have been selected by audience applause and the num ber of requests made by inter ested students, Mr. Underwood said. All are accepted classics in orchestral repertoires, and proven successes with concert audiences who like popular selections with “lots of melody.” The program will open with the lively march, or scherzo, from Tschaikowsky’s sixth “Pathet essssssssssssMary R-jOdnua—‘f ique" symphony. This will be fol lowed by four Spanish dances taken from Massenet's opera “Le Cid.” The third section on the pro gram will be three short numbers, somewhat in the “novelty” vein. The first number of the third sec tion will be the waltz from Tschaikowsky’s string serenade. The second will be the tinkling “Danse de la Fee-Dragee” from the “Nutcracker Suite,” and the third, Debussy’s “Maid With the Flaxen Hair” played by the string section. Closing the all-romantic program will be Tschaikowsky’s overture - fantasy, “Romeo and Juliet.” .

CHURCH 11 th and Oak ASUO Card Decree Based on OSC Rule Evolution of the idea finally adopted by the executive com mittee, giving universal student body membership, represented a well-defined progression in its course yesterday. First brick in the wall was John Dicks report to the effect that at OSC the $2 fee has been accepted as student body mem bership, with an athletic card of $10 a year. It was pointed out, however, that the OSC athletic setup is somewhat different from that here. From the OSC setup the com mittee went to the possible pay ing combinations for the athletic card, the schedule finally adopt ed. This led into the possibility of a student body-athletic card, which seemed to find little favor. Then the Emerald’s proposal to wait until the new and old ex ecutive committees could meet jointly was also rejected on the ground that “we want to get it over with,” as John Dick put it. Finally, in desperation the committee turned to a possible separate membership for the ASUO, probably $1 for the year, to give the ASUO a separate en tity from either board and finan cial standing of its own. This did not seem the answer either. Significance of the step was indicated in the reaction after passing of the motion. "History in the making,” Hoy Vernstrom smiled, and took a hearty drink of water. Vernstror.r had made the motion himself, seconded by Sederstrom.

Bird-dog Whitman (Continued from page five) always clamor to be allowed to hit. “Why,” says Dick, “I won sev en straight for Woodburn high. I ought to be on that mound my self. Did you ever see my fast ball?” And Dick may not be fooling at that. More than once he’s given teammates a look at a knuckle ball that dances like a gypsy in a light mood. Whitman tells a number of hu morous stories about the Wich ita tourney. One of the best of these concerns a riot which forced the umpires to retire in confusion. Duncan, Oklahoma, was play ing Mount Pleasant, Texas, before an overflow crowd, which favored the boys from the Lone Star state. Because of the size of the crowd, ground rules, which stip ulated that any ball hit into the crowd would be considered only a double, were in effect. Umpires Retreat A Duncan batter laced a long one which a Texan managed to catch by weaving through the crowd. The umpires, thereupon, ruled it a double. The crowd did n’t like it one bit. According to Whitman, people “poured out on the field," and the umpires had to retire to a refuge under the grandstand, from whence they were escorted to the police sta tion by officers. One of the umps, who was a target of the crowd's anger, was Hal Riegels, a northwest official. Whitman says he and some of the other Silverton boys had to drive to the "station" and rescue the harrassed Riegels. Costly Third Strike The riot and succeeding inci dents had the Silverton boys laughing but the grins vanished in the final game, which they lost, 2 to 0, to Mount Pleasant. Two Silverton boys were on base in the ninth inning when John Bubalo took a called third strike with his bat on his shoulder. This third strike (something which of ten happens to the best of ball players) put the Red Sox out of the tourney and cost the club $1500. At present Whitman has his Radio Program Scheduled Magi Student Numbers Will Advertise Junior Weekend Thursday more than a dozen numbers were listed as ready for competition to determine which acts will be used on a Junior scheduled for the first weekend of May, according to Jack Hol comb, who is in charge of ar rangements. The all-student show will be broadcast in cooperation with stations KGW-KEX and KOIN in Portland. Judging from the in terest shown at the'first meeting yesterday, there will be no diffi culty in selecting the most pro ficient numbers for the program, Holcomb asserted. The script for the Junior Week end feature will be written by Dave Zilka, Doris Ann Neely, Lillian Davis, Alan Torbett, and Lionel Domreis. The script com mittee will meet Monday after noon at 4 o’clock in room 107, Friendly hall, to draw up the first draft. An Oregon student will serve as master of ceremonies for the production. Three men have sig nified their intentions to try out for that position—Alan Torbett, Duke Young, and Don Swink. Musical numbers available for the broadcast are: Les Ready, baritone; a woodwind musical quartet; girls duet, Marguerite Sappington and Gloria Wong; Russ Hudson, singer; a musical string quartet; Dave Zilka, ac cordionist; Virginia Tooze, vocal ist; Clyde Everton, singer; Eliza beth Walker, violinist; Jean Moursund, vocalist; Dorothy Durkee, vocalist, and Bob Fla velle, singer. The first rehearsal will be held at the end of next week, Holcomb said. eyes set on a professional base ball career . . . but he won’t launch it for at least another year, so Oregon fans can look forward to seeing him play with such frosh standouts as Kirsch, Fredricks, Bubalo, Chuck Clif ford, Bill Hamel, Bob Rehberg, and Hank Burns next year . . . and, of course, varsity men like Bill Carney, Arba Ager, and Whitey Austin. Only last week Whitman re jected an offer from a major league club whjch topped any received by an Oregon player in the last few years.
