Sunday
University Group
Organized Under
Direction of Stehn
One of the highlights of the
free concert to be given Sunday
afternoon at 3 in the music audi
torium will be presentation of a
new tone-poem written by a mem
ber of the University concert
band, Norman Cory, graduate as
sistant in music.
The new work, topically titled
"Democracy Triumphant,” will
be directed by the young com
poser. Mr. Cory came to the Uni
versity last fall after several
years of teaching and composing
at Miami university, Oxford,
Ohio. Throughout the composition
one hears the “pulsating, confi
dent theme of democracy,” and
there is a “suggestion of modern
democracy in the tonality of the
final chord.”
The University concert band,
which is separate from the foot
ball band and the military band,
was organized in its present form
in 1930 under the guidance of its
present director, John H. Stehn.
The 50 musicians that make up
its number, chosen in tryout con
tests each year, are generally
upperclassmen.
Sunday soloists will include
Norman Cory, saxophone; Char
lotte Plummer, clarinet; Robert
Carlson, cornet; and a sextet
composed of Tom Landless and
Robert Chilcote, cornets; Lois
Ginther, baritone; Paul Anderson,
Vern Spaugh, and Jack Plummer,
trombones.
Opening the program will be
Goldmark’s “Sakuntala Over
ture,” which is based on the Hin
du poem of Khalidasa. Norman
Cory will play an alto saxophone
solo in the performance of “Chant
Lyrique” by Breilh-Decruck, and
Charlotte Plummer will be solo
ist for Weber’s “Concertino.”
Numbers played by the band
alone will be Gliere’s “Russian
Sailors’ Dance” from “The Red
Poppy,” and the first “Rouman
ian Rhapsody” of Georges Enes
co.
Robert Carlson, cornet cham
pion of northwest high schools
two years ago, will solo in the
performance of “Andante and Al
legro” by Guy-Ropartz. Donizet
ti’s “Sextet” from “Lucia” will
feature the sextet of band mem
bers mentioned above. The pub
lic is welcome to attend the con
cert.

Japanese
Will Tom
ii.» BETSY HANCHETT
Second generation Japanese in
America should know something
of the land and customes of their
ancestors, according to Michi
Yasui, Phi Theta Upsilon pledge
and secretary of Susan Campbell
hall.
"Because I have a sentimental
attachment to the culture and
ideals of my race, I am going to
live in Japan this summer in
order to be betetr informed on
my background, heritage, and the
history of my forefathers,” she
said.
to sail June 10
“A friend and I are sailing on
June 10 from Seattle on the NYK
Hikawa Maru, a Japanese ship,
to live for three months in Japan
and Manchuria and to study the
country's culture, history, people,
language, and visit relations and
personal friends.”
Michi said that they would live
as natives during their stay —
dressing in Japanese costume,
speaking the language, staying
at Japanese homes, and dropping
all American ways. They will cov
er Japan from the central part
down to the southern tip and
visit the most famous scenic and
historic spots, schools, churches,
and especially shrines. After com
pleting their stay in Japan, the
two girls will visit the largest
cities in Manchuria and China.
“Since I have spoken the lan
guage for many years at home, I
ought to be able to make myself
understood in Japan and in Man
churia, which is now under Jap
anese rule. Where Japanese is
not spoken, we can get along
with English because the Orient
has become so modernized that
the language is spoken a great
deal in all places except the most
remote parts of the country.”
Consul Helps
“We expect the trip to be very
inexpensive because my father
has written to many of his friends
with whom we will stay during
our sojourn,” she said. “Also since
the government is very interested
in students, they have made rates
for them on a great many trips.
The Japanese consul in Seattle
has volunteered to help us in any
way possible on our trip.”
Michi said that there was no
danger in two girls traveling
alone because the Japanese were
extremely courteous to travelers
Koyl and Gerlinger
Cups Will Be Given
Two cups, one for the junior
woman attaining the best sym
metrical development by her jun
ior year and the other for the
junior man attaining the best
symmetrical development by his
junior year, will be awarded the
night of the junior prom.
The cup for the junior man was
established in 1914 by Charles W.
Koyl, the first paid secretary of
the YMCA. Last year Roy Vern
strom was presented this trophy.
The Gerlinger cup for the jun
ior girl was won last year by Rita
Wright.

Student
* Orient
and especially to students.
‘‘So many people asx us if we
are not afraid of being involved
in the war; but there is really nc
danger because most of the Jap
anese troops have been with
drawn from China and guerilla
warfare is the only actual fight
ing in the Orient at the present
time.
“We hope to get into some in
teresting and unusual places with
our letters of introduction,’’ she
said. “Our special aim is to bring
back symbols of all important
places and to interpret them in
the United States. We will be
especially careful not to do any
thing forbidden because with the
world in its present chaotic state,
they would just as soon shoot us
on the spot.’’
Back by Hawaii
Michi said that they would
probably be back in time for
school unless something interest
ing or exciting came up. The two
girls will sail from Japan and
return home by way of Hawaii
and San Francisco.
“Our trip will be financed most
ly by lectures which we will give
for the university dramatic de
partment and articles which sev
eral newspapers want us to write
on our return,” she said.
‘High Tor’
To Open
May 22
There is the old saying that
"you can't please everyone.”
Maxwell Anderson undertook
the gigantic task to disprove this
statement in his romantic com
edy, “High Tor,” which will be
presented as the concluding dra
ma of the University theater’s
season, May 22, 23, and 24.
For those who like tales of
bank robbers, there are stolen
bags of clinking gold. For those
who have trouble with their land
lords, there is a scene with ras
cally land-stealers spending the
night in a steam shovel. For those
who love to shiver before an at
mosphere of mystery, there are
the ghosts of Hendrik Hudson’s
crew. And for those of a senti
mental nature, there is a whim
sical love strain in the play.
The comedy will be under the
direction of Mrs. Ottilie T. Sey
bolt, head of drama, with stage
sets designed by Horace W. Rob
inson, assistant professor of
drama.
One person in 40 in the United
States is a college or university
graduate.
