'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.

proceeds of the previous year. Pi

these events, and will keep it

the cup three times in succession

Wednesday and dancing will last
from 0 to 9 o’clock, co-chairmen
said.
Immediately following the clos

begin counting the money and
figuring out the winners on a
percentage basis as soon as pos
sible.

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.

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
