firoupLauded By Audience, Vice Versa “The audience was tremen dous,” said William Kroll, first violin of the Coolidge quartet who played at the music auditorium last night. ‘‘We went wild over them.” And the feeling was mutual, if ■*£he applause was any indication, for they would not let the play ers go until they had finished two encores and made many cur tain calls. Relaxation from string-quartet ting? Naoum Benditsky, cellist, is a horticulturist; Jack Pepper, second violin, and David Dawson, viola, play tennis; William Kroll plays chess. They all play bridge but Benditsky; all follow base ball scores, in fact, William Kroll remarked with a twinkle in his eye: “We sometimes almost miss a concert for fear of missing the final scores.” Swing ? David Dawson loves it; Freddy Martin and Duke Elling ton are his favorites. Musical education? They agree that it should be a major subject in colleges, and gave Oregon a pat on the back for including it as a major. But to the more serious side. These artists displayed that ease of execution and master of then instruments which are the marks of the truly great performer. The Mozart quartet in G ma jor K. 387 was performed with excellent suspension and tone con trol; the Beethoven quartet in E V flat opus 74 was particularly lovely with the fluid blending of cello, viola, and violins. Ravel’s impressionistic quartet was perhaps the most enjoyed number; particular verve was dis played in this work. “Chanson ette,” by Mendelssohn, and “Lit tle March,” by William Kroll were the encores.

A WS Representatives Return from Confab By BETTY ANN STEVENS With a fanfare of car horns, Marge “Dib” Dibble, dynamic AWS prexy, and sparkling ex-prexy Elizabeth “Steedie” Steed arrived home yesterday from a ten-day trip to the AWS con vention at the University of Utah at Salt Lake City. About the car-horns, “Dib” exclaimed, “I was so em barrassed I nearly crawled under the seat.” “The convention? We just had a wonderful, wonderful time, and met a lot of keen people from eleven states,” she went on en thusiastically. “ ‘Steedie’ led one of the discussion groups, and they slapped me on a constitution com mittee.” ‘Lots’ “Dib” added, “We went to lots of meetings, and, amazing as it may seem, I think our own AWS was one of the best-organized there." She went on to explain that be cause most of the other dele gates were still mulling over problems of freshman orienta tion, which Oregon has had or ganized “for years,” she and “Steedie” found themselves re peatedly called upon for sugges tions. “Ideas from the confab ? Well, we got a lot of wonderful ideas for next year—for raising money for defense stamps.” “I was petrified,” remarked “Dib,” “at the traffic signals in Salt Lake City.” She added that drivers in that city seem bent on mayhem, with a total disregard to pedestrians’ rights. for "THE" one Engagement Rings to Suit Your Taste $16.50 Up, Federal Tax Included Jewelry Store 620 Willamette Pres.
