'New Earth’ Performance Acclaimed By CAROL GREENING Magnificent was the achieve ment of the choral union and Dr. Theodore Kratt, their conductor, when they presented “The New Earth” to an audience moved and inspired by the grandeur of the piece and the brilliance of per formance. ' i' In striking contrast to last year’s “Elijah,’' I he work, deal ing with the tbeme of a post-war world, has gained new signifi cance since the choral union first started practicing it in the fall. War struck the United States, and the “Song of the Marching Men,” sung with such .grandeur, might well now be a martial song. Ilymnal Margaret Zimmerman, soprano, distinguished’ herself in the al most hymnal “Song of Peace,” her lovely, full voice soaring eas ily, creating a breath-takingiy beautiful effect. Tender and touching was the “Lullaby,” sung by the feminine section of the chorus; so equis itely was this done that Dean Kratt blew a kiss to them at the conclusion of the piece. “Winds of Strength,” was sung by the Eugene gleemen, who pro vided an element of deep strong tone to the harmonized whole. ‘Marching’ Woven in and out the parts of the piece was the theme “the Song of the Marching Men,” which culminated in a finale sung with fervor and brilliance. The dictum throughout the piece was excellent. 1 Opening the program was “The White Silence,” by Montani. Here the women’s chorus brought out the cold purity of the piece, and the harp accompaniment blended beautifully. Heard after the concert. “I’m going to join Choral Un ion next year”; “Wonderful”; “very pleasing effect”; “that so prano- she’s magnificent.” Juniors Fete Seniors At Annual Y Breakfast Now is the time for each junior girl to ask a senior coed to at tend the traditional YWCA jun ior-senior breakfast, Y President Abbie Jane White said Monday. The breakfast will be held at 9 o'clock Sunday morning, May 3, in the Osburn hotel. J. L. Cas teel, director of the speech divi sion, will be the main speaker. The breakfast is held annually as a farewell to the seniors. As has been customary, all the jun iors in a campus living organiza tion will ask the seniors in their house to attend the breakfast with them, Betty Kincaid, chair man of the event, declared. Hop Tomorrow (Continued from page one) over $200, part of which they turned into scholarships for Uni versity women. This was an in crease of several dollars over the proceeds of the previous year. Pi Beta Phi yon the cup for both these events, and will keep it until next year's affair. Winning the cup three times in succession insures permanent possession. Campus clothes will be worn Wednesday and dancing will last from 0 to 9 o’clock, co-chairmen said. Immediately following the clos ing hour, a committee will col lect all shoeboxes so they may begin counting the money and figuring out the winners on a percentage basis as soon as pos sible. CHUCK MILINARI . . . . . . will kick out Frosh Glee tempos for Jan King. Advance Sales Show Large Glee’ Turnout Advance ticket sales which started today in all men’s liv ing- organizations indicate a large turnout at the annual Fresh Glee, to be held at MccArthur court, Friday, April 24. Dancers will swing-out from 9 until 12:15 to the music of Jan King’s orchestra. King’s orchestra, consisting of “14 men and a girl,” has proved very popular in recent appear ancecs throughout the north west. His “band of a thousand melodies’’ features a variety of swing and sweet numbers. Entertainment at the dance will be short, and will be high lighted by the crowning of the Little Admiral. A battleship in the center of the floor will be named after the winner. Other entertainment will include tap ping of 20 freshmen to Skull and Dagger, sophomore men’s serv ice honorary. Tickets for the Frosh Glee are on sale for $1.10. All freshmen who hold class cards can pur chase reduced-price tickets for 85 cents at the educational activities office. Girls will be granted 1 o’clock permission to attend the dance. Priorities Clamp Down (Continued from page one) also the papers that must go out for the printing of the pictures. Smaller Newspapers will cut their edi tions, and smaller type will try to cram a little more news into a smaller space. College students must watch the waste paper found daily in the baskets all over the campus. Every sheet is vital now, as never before. Chemicals can mean any number of things, but to the average female, it means a curtailment of her sup ply of lipsticks, nail polish, and sundry other beauty aids. Tires and gas have affected the Oregon pigger in more ways than one. The crafty looks on the face of the public in general when it sees a pair of good looking tires shows what a rubber shortage can do for the kleptomaniaeal at titudes of a nation. Gas The normal “running around" of the UO spring term has hit an all-time low this year, with the war playing nursemaid to travel hungry Ducks. A gallon of gas has been known to last one fliv ver for more than six days. Campus clothes have even un dergone a drastic change since the entry of the United States into the war. Hems have short ened to two inches—no more, says OPM. Those balloon sleeves have lost their plump figures— too much material wasted in an unneeded place. Flared skirts are losing their zest, and large pock ets have been cut down to the routine slash in the material. The anticipated zipper short age will leave the 20th-century inhabitants in a bewildered state of mind. But who wouldn’t be willing to suffer from gaposis if it is all for the good of the cause. Zipper notebooks are on the slide. All-in-all, UO students will soon learn what it is to be in a war. Shortages here, curtailments there, restrictions everywhere. But a little sacrifice in our coun try now may mean a country not sacrificed later. r. ■ — Oregon Caves Work Open in Summer All men and women inter ested in working at the Oregon Caves this summer should make an appointment to see Richard L. Sabin, representative, in the employment bureau this morning. He will interview interested applicants all morning and ap pointments to see him may be made by phone with the em ployment bureau. ‘Of Thee S Sing' Schedule Guild hall: Tuesday, April 21, musical re hearsal with entire cast, at 7:30. Wednesday, April 22, 7:30, Act II, Scene I, with music. 9:00 Act VII, Scene I, Scene VII, with music. House Heads (Continued from page one) longer hours of day light most of the upperclassmen would rather play baseball. Americo DiBene detti of Alpha hall said he though picnics were better any way. Social chairmen of women’s houses bewailed the loss of the traditional campus function, but thought it would help national de fense. Evelyn Mitchell, Delta Gamma, said it made her “un happy,” but that it was “all for the sake of the war.” “If we’re really going to help national defense, I think the houses should figure the cost of the desserts and put the savings into defense bonds,” was her sug gestion for accomplishing the purpose. Adele Riggs, Hilyard house, said: “I don’t like it. I don’t think that we can really help by doing all this cutting down.” Ice Cream Saif Begins Today Approximately 135 dozen ice cream drumsticks have been or dered by campus living organi zations for today and Wednesday, Evelyn Collins, chairman of the YW ice cream sale in the houses, reported. This number exceeds last year’s maximum, and will be further in creased when the campus sale be gins May 5 and 6, Tuesday and Wednesday, Gerd Hansen, presi dent of the freshman commission, reported. Proceeds from the sale are to go into the YWCA budget and will be used to send representa tives to the Seabeck conference this summer and to defray other Y expenses. This is the main YW money-making activity of the term. Gerd Hansen and Leslie Brock elbank, are co-chairmen of the whole ice-cream sale. Marian Schaefer, Ardis Jensen, anr Dor othy Bruhn are assisting Evelyn Collins with the ice cream sale within the houses. * Dr. Erb Will Address Girl Scout Meet Dr. Donald M.
