Emerald Errs
In ROTCTale
An incorrect statement quot
ing^ “semi-official” source ap
peared in yesterday’s Emerald
with the erroneous information
that junior ROTC students would
be commissioned 15 months later
than previously believed.
“This is absolutely incorrect,”
declared Col. R. M. Lyon, head of
the military department.
The results of the war depart
ment’s order suspending the sum
mer training camp between first
and second year advanced ROTC
training are:
1. Summer training will be
postponed, not “cancelled” un
.Gl after academic graduation.
Juniors will thus be able to
work this summer if they wish
and can take their field work
alter their senior year.
2. The officers used in the
summer ROTC training will be
free for duty with troops.
3. After completion of Uni
versity work, cadets will go to
a training center, probably Fort
Benning, Georgia, where they
will receive 90 days intensive
training required for their
graduation from the military
department.
4. Commissions will be giv
en in the late summer of 1943,
present plans indicate, not 15
months from then as yester
day’s story might lead one to

5. No changes in orders have
been received concerning the
commissions of tips year's sen
iors, Colonel Lyon said. They
will be commissioned in June.
as the navy. The navy claims
twice as many as the marines.
Location of these ex-Ducks
ranges from Washington, D. C.,
to Guam island — or perhaps a
Japanese prison camp. They are
physicians, soldiers, pilots, and
technicians—but all are serving
Uncle Sam.
In some cases no one knows
where these men are — and in
many others the only person that
knows is Uncle Sam himself—
and he won’t tell.

Maestro Schedules
'Balanced Program’
By MARJORIE MAJOR
Two famous, colorful Britishers, Sir Thomas Beecham, con
ductor, and Miss Betty Humby, pianist, will appear with the
Seattle Symphony orchestra in concert Monday evening at 8:15.
Third in the Greater Artists concert series, Sir Thomas will
direct a balanced program of classic and modern music taken
from Mozart, Berlioz, Delius, and Chabrier.
In celebration of the Pacific
Coast Mozart festival, Sir Thomas
has dedicated the first portion of
the concert to his works.
Miss Humby
Miss Betty Humby will appear
as guest soloist with the orches
tra in the Mozart concerto No.
17 in G major for piano and or
chestra.
The Seattle symphony has as
concert master the famous Hun
garian violinist, Francis Aranyi,
who has been widely recognized
as an artist in Europe.
Continuing the Mozart portion
of the program, the orchestra will
play the overture from the
“Magic Flute” and the Prague
symphony No. 3S in D major.
Berlioz
After the intermission, Sir
Thomas will conduct the “Chasse
Royale ac Orage” by Berlioz.
“The Royal Hunt and Storm” is
an orchestral intermezzo from the
grand opera "The Trojans” which
was built by the composer on the
tragic story of Dido and Aeneas.
One of the six operas written
by Delius, "A Village Romeo and
Juliet,” contains a symphonic
interlude called “A Walk in the
Paradise Garden.” It describes
the country lovers, Sali and Vren
chen, walking in the twilight.
Delius is one of the modernists
whom Sir Thomas has featured
continually in the past few years.
The final melodic climax will be
an orchestral rhapsody, “Espana,”
by Chabrier. In this rhapsody
Chabrier combined vivacious,
fiery Jota tunes and langorous
Malaguena melodies in triple
measure.
Students will be admitted with
their educational activities cards.
Draftees Get
Course Credit
Things began to look a little
more hopeful for men to be draft
ed before the end of the term
from the ranks of Oregon stu
dents Friday as word came from
Clifford L. Constance, assistant
registrar, that these men would
get credit for courses they are
now taking or receive a refund on
their registration fees.
