Week to Stress
Native Musicians
Music hits Lane county and the nation this week with the
advent of National and Inter-American Music Week, beginning
this Sunday. Oregon will observe this bash in its usual high
toned manner by three events: A University orchestra concert,
Sunday, May 3; a harp recital, Tuesday, May 5; and an ad
vanced violin recital by Verne Sellin and Helen Horner, Thurs
day, May 7.
Carrying out the Mrs. Roose
veltoniaa keynotes of “American
Unity Through Music” and “Mu
sic Maintains Morale,” the week
is designed to '‘emphasize the
harmonizing qualities of music,
and the atmosphere it creates of
sympathetic understanding, com
radeship, accord, and common in
terests.” No comment has been
received from Latin America but
Mayor Elisha Large will perform
the honors when he publishes a
proclamation opening the week
officially Sunday.
Versatile
Along with various other jobs
which he holds, F. D .Roosevelt
has squeezed in the chairmanship
■of the honorary committee of gov
ernors for the affair. On the ac
tive committee are representa
tives of such organizations as the
National Association of Schools of
Music, the Metropolitan Opera
Guild, ASCAP, and the Chamber
Music Society of Lower Basin
Street.
Throughout the United States
groups are being urged to “play
more Latin-American music, and
more music by native American
composers" for it is well known
that music is a truer form of
friendship than aid in war time.
Sunday the University orchestra
will lead off the program of true
accord with their concert at 3
p.m. in the music auditorium.
In Tune
Featured on their program will
be “Symphony Moderne,” by Max
Steiner, and “Classical Sym
phony" by Prokpfieff. Other num
bers will be Nicolai’s “Merry
Wives of Windsor” and the “Em
peror” waltzes by Strauss. All
these compositions are in accord
with the design of the week to
“play more music by native
American composers.”
Next on the music week list
which is eagerly awaited by all
the University is a harp ensemble
directed by Mrs. Doris H. Calkins,
instructor in harp. Those giv
ing Oregon a taste of good harp
music are Dorothy Bruhn, James
Gibson, Lynn Alexander, Maxine
Cunning, and Sally Calkins.
wren
Giving the ensemble needed as
sistance will be the University
quartet and members of the Uni
versity orchestra. Giving the or
chestra needed direction will be
Rex Underwood, professor of mu
sic.
Their program, which also re
flects the native American and
Latin-American influence which
the week is helping to spread, will
include: "Danses Sacree et Pro
fane” by Debussy, "Au Monas
tere" by Hasselmans, “Last Rose
of Summer," and “Two Guitars”
by Horlick, and "Introduction and
Allegro" by Ravel. There is also
“Little Chinaman’’ by Smith.
The observance of Music Week
will at last end on Thursday eve
ning, May 7, when Verne Sellin
and Helen Horner get in their
licks as advanced violinists. The
pair, again stressing the native
American highlight, will present
as main works on their program:
“B flat minor Concerto” by Sa'irit
Saens, and “Concerto in A major”
by Mozart.
Co-op Vote

To Kent
As onward runs the course of life,
My thoughts of the past will fade.
The joy and strife of a college life
Will be lost in the mess I’ve made.
Perhaps collegiate life will dim
And sink into the pall.
But memories clear of afriend so dear
Will linger the longest of all.
—J.W.S.
