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.

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.
