Kathleen Brady, Promotion Ted Kenyon, Photography Bill Ralston, Layouts Good Music—A Giveaway Tonight /■\NE of the most certain characteristics of symphony music is that it is expensive. The number of highly skilled musicians in volved and the amount of time it takes to produce finished music combine to put sym phonies definitely into the luxury class. For the many symphony music is to be heard only through the media of radio and recordings. The most rabid collectors of re cordings are not the followers of popular music but the builders of fine symphony albums. # # * nPIIE University of Oregon symphony is no different from any other such group; it cannot play purely for the love of it, for it costs money to play with symphonies. It must support itself in one way or another the best way it can. Involved as it is in such a high class undertaking, the symphony orchestra has no other alternative than to get its revenue in the usual form—by letting people pay for the privilege of listening. And they do pay. Tonight, however, it is a different story. There will be no charge whatsoever. The doors will be wide open. For the first time people who have had to stay away in the interest of keeping a few nickels in the pocket will walk in untaxed, to see one of the finest departments of the University at its best. The program itself is practically an all-request group, such a combination as is rarely found in symphony programs. * # * rj~'IIE free, special concert is the idea of only one man—Rex Underwood, director and guiding genius of the symphony. It is his idea, even though he modestly prefers to share the honor with the Emerald. It is Underwood, then, that symphony lovers will be doubly thanking tonight. Thre is only one drawback to the plan, and that is the purely physical limitations of the music auditorium. This small room pro vides only 600 seats, which means only a few more than that can get in even if the aisles are used for seating purposes. It is obvious that there are far more than 600 symphony enthusiasts here, so somebody is going to get left. As long as the principle to be followed is first come first served it is likely that plenty are going to come early. It should be a rather large evening for those who have the love of symphonies un alterably in their blood, an evening the like of which docs not happen often. The BAND BOX By BILL MOXLEY Big Ones for the Park Willamette Park has every thing figured out for a spring and summer season which will garner every big name band that comes north. A friday night stand here at Eugene is being arranged for all the bands which are going to play at Portland’s Jantzen Beach. These include such celeb rities as Gus Arnheim, Eddie Fitzpatrick, Jan Garber, Phil Har ris, Bob Crosby, and Shep Fields. To start the ball rolling the "Park” is featuring Ray Pearl on May 17. Pearl is now playing in the Casino Gardens at Ocean Beach, California. He broadcasts over Mutual almost every night. The idea is to catch each band as it comes through on its way to Portland. Since most outfits plan on opening on a Saturday night up there, the logical time for a one night stand is right here on a Friday night. $750 for Stokowski It will cost eactly $750 for any body who wishes to accompany Leopold Stokowski and his All American youth orchestra to South America this summer. That's the price of the trip if you can't toot your horn good enough to get a free ride. The mob of youthful virtuosos is sailing on July 5 on the S.S. Washington. There will be 52 concerts in all with stops planned for Havana, Curacao, San Juan, Montevideo, and Buenos Aires. Some trip. I Love Me New societies are springing up on other university campuses un der the title of “I Love Me” clubs. Only qualified initiates are those boys nursing sprained wrists from slapping themselves on the back in continual self pleasure. The title of the club was taken from a 17-year-old song called “I Love Me.” . . . Carl Ravazza is definitely not avail able for the Junior Prom as planned. Carl is starting a tour of the nation on the first of May and is going everywhere except the northwest. Gus Arnheim is the next best bet for Junior Week end but at present even his ap pearance looks doubtful. 21-Word “Size 37” Here Johnny Messner, who popular ized “She Had to Go and Lose It at the Astor,” has come forth with a sequel which he hopes will make as much lucre as the orig inal. It is called simply "She Real ly Meant to Keep It!” The sensational Ozzie Nelson disc with a title 21 words long has finally arrived in town. “I’m Looking for an Alto Man Who Plays the Baritone and Doubles on the Clarinet and Wears a Size 37 Suit” has been on sale at the music stores since Saturday. April Old Oregon Scheduled to Be Out This Week The April issue of Old Oregon, the alumni magazine, is sched uled for distribution the middle of this week, according to Roy Vernstrom, editor. The issue will feature Junior Weekend and will include an ar ticle by John Cavanagh, chair man of this year’s Weekend, and one on the history of Junior Weekend by Wes Sullivan. The pictures of Betty Buchan an and her royal court make up the cover.

Our project of the week was a dismal failure as a squad of WPA workers zealously guard ed their tunnel from anyone that wanted to finish their job. They WAITED for our “Good Deeders’’ armed with picks and shovels. The turnout of campus beauti fiers wasn’t so hot either. Only a pair of Pi Phis showed up, and they wanted to go for a hike through the tunnels and have a picnic. One of the SAE pledges brought Husky over and wanted the committee to take care of him for the day as no one was going to stay home Saturday. Quips “Tommy” Hofstetter, AOPi, took Ed Boydell’s Delt pin and Lynn Backus makes it a double play as he hangs his pin on An nette Moore, Susie. . . . Marge Curtis, Dorothy Cox, and room mate, Hendricks, have their toe nails painted red (Dorothy) white (Marge) and blue (roommate) . . . every nite at taps, the trio stands at attention and sings the national anthem . . . George Luoma is now out searching for all the pins planted on the campus. . . . That, George, is something no one jean catch up with. . . . Ted Kenyon uses his cameras as an invite, and had quite a nice time at the AOPis’ home Friday. . . . The coeds’ de light ... Rex Applegate. . . . Guys what don’t want their names printed . . . DICK WIL LIAMS, Oregana manager, the boy that graduated from politics in one year . . . DOUG KEMIS, genial fellow who has a way . . . LIZ DAGGET, she knows who Tessie is, and won't tell. RAW DEAL OF THE WEEK was handed several Oregon men who signed up for Chi O rushee dates to the house dance. In at least one case the Chi Os failed to notify the fellow that his date wasn’t coming. So in his best bib and tucker he appears at the dance, only to be rejected with, "Oh, your girl didn’t come.” The Phi Psis get a reported $300 for their house from the wreckers. It’ll probably be a typical Ehrman-Rieg party . . . with trimmings. * * * It’s time everyone knew. The person responsible for this col umn is Jane Meek, Alpha Chi. She’s a bad, bad girl! Spring Sprung; Elsa Maxwell; Mary's Lamb Spring has sprung, Fall has fell, Summer’s here, And hotter’n winter. (Wes Sullivan discovered it!) Elsa Maxwell famous party-tosser, was slated for a personal appearance before the YWCA of Southern Cal. last week. She spoke on "Personality and Careers.” A lipstick is merely something that gives a new flavor to an old pastime.—Indiana Daily Student. * * « Mary had a little lamb, You’ve heard it oft before, A ' fhen she passed her plate, Ai. nu„ a little more. i —Swiped. She was so dumb she thought noodle soup was a shampoo. The hook said to the eye on the fat lady’s dress, "I don’t get the connection.” —Both from Indiana Statesman. Last night I sat upon a chair, A little chair that wasn’t there. It wasn’t there again today, But I couldn't sit down anyway. —College Heights Herald. My son neither smokes, drinks, nor swears, Does he make his own dresses, too? * * * —Pasadena Chronicle. Hollis Honored by DeMolay Group Professor Orlando J. Hollis of the law school received the rank ing of Legion of Honor from De Molay members of Oregon hold ing their annual state conclave in The Dalles Saturday. A former member himself, Pro fessor Hollis was first master councilor of the Eugene chapter of the organization.
