Second Scrap Drive of Year To Roll Soon By EDITH NEWTON University students are going to have plenty of opportunities to aid in the war effort during this term with a scrap drive such as was held last, fall and an all campus work day to aid farmers scheduled for the not too distant future, Len Barde, chairman of the war board, announced Thurs day. Complete plans have not been revealed for either activity yet, but it is known that the Eugene war board will furnish transpor tation for another scrap drive. The general outline of the affair is expected to follow in the steps of the scrap drive held on the campus last fall when tons of scrap metal of every shape and size were dragged, carried, and pushed down Willamette street amid such a din as had never be fore rocked the walls of Eugene office buildings. Students’ mass participation in an aid to farmers program will be something new for Oregon. Last fall groups did go out to help on local farms, but the affair be ing planned now will include ap proximately 1500 students who will all go out in the country the same day to work, Barde ex plained. The plan has been tried in .other schools, and more than 2000 Francescatti Wins Acclaim Playing to a deeply-moved aud ience in McArthur court Thurs day night, Zino Francescatti, French violinist, performed with the genius of which only a great artist is capable. Noted as the most capable ex ponent of the pizzicato among contemporary artists, the great musician inspired the audience so that the contrast was especially marked between the deep silence while he was playing and the loud applause at the conclusion of each selection. His rendition of Tzigane by Ra vel, played with such mastery, was perhaps his most popular se lection in the opinion of the audi ence. Saint-Saens’ Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, of breath taking beauty; Sonata in G ma jor, Op. 30, No. 3 by Beethoven; Concerto in D major by Paganini and Francescatti; Week-End by M. F. Gaillard; and Hora Burles ca by Gregory Stone completed the program, all being played with equal skill and artistry. University of Washington stud ents went on one weekend trip, earning as much as $26 for their work on a three-day trip picking apples. University students will be paid for this work, and besides help ing the farmers, they will have an opportunity to earn some extra money, Barde said. St.' Mary’s university (Texasl owns a bus for athletic trips that holds 53 passengers.
