Thanks to the energetic efforts of the ASUO president, this
year’s student body has been treated weekly to a series of
interesting and colorful personalities. Where the individual
lacked the personal splash to draw crowds there was sure to
be some topic under discussion which evidently was of enough
interest to the majority of students to warrant regular atten
dance. And then of course, we had every now and then, some
one whose own individual history of his life drew the attention
of the most indifferent student.
Madame Alfred Jonniaux is one of the latter. As the wife
of Alfred Jonniaux, the distinguished painter to the Belgian
court, there undoubtedly clings to her name something of
the glamor of Paris and the drama of.those days before the
Nazi armies swept down upon the city. Madame Jonniaux,
herself a world traveler and international observer, was in
Paris until four days before the entrance of the Nazis and
brings to the campus all the freshness and accuracy of a person
who can say “I was there.”
The topic which will be discussed by the renowned traveler
is of importance to everyone. Especially at the present time
when daily developments upon the political front reveal a
stronger and clearer determination by all powers concerned
towards the old imperialistic aims of the past, is the analyzation
of world unity and of the individual’s part in it extremely close
to the student’s daily life.
Of all the speakers which have been presented to the student
body this year, Madame Jonniaux promises to be the most
interesting and exciting to the student.

At long last we have a new president. As of July 1, Dr. Harry
K. Newburn will assume his duties as president of the Uni
versity of Oregon.
The announcement, coming as it did through a jumble of
crossed wires and release dates, still brings a great deal of
pleasure, both in the knowledge that the University once again
has a leader, and in the feeling that the board picked "the
right man.”
Although Acting President Hollis has done a fine job, he
lias been hampered by the unsettled conditions surrounding
his position. It would have been impossible for anyone to take
very many active steps knowing that in the near future another
man would he appointed to permanently fill the late Dr.
Erb’s shoes.
But next year should see the University striding along to
new heights under the direction of a man noted for his re
organization of the curricula of the liberal arts college at State
University of Iowa.
\\ e know that Dr. Newburn is vitally interested in Oregon.
There are too many headaches attached to running a Univer
sity—fighting for funds, straightening out administration prob
lems, and keeping standards high—to encourage a man to
accept the presidency unless he has a high opinion of the
school and sees years of promise ahead. Furthermore, it is
rumored that Dr. Newburn will receive a smaller salary in
his new position.
IT is educational ideas have received high praise, and his
record is outstanding. The University is indeed fortunate to
have such a man as president.
“Problems of reconversion of humans who have lost their
peacetime skills or never gained them,” present the biggest
problems for universities, Howard L. Bevis, president of Ohio i
State university, told a meeting of the Association of Land
.rant Colleges and Universities meeting at Chicago. He said
the war has shown what the nation can do in physical sci
ences.—AC11.

Together Again * *
If for nothing else, Charles Boyer
is destined to turn up some day
in the historical gallery of lovers
as one man who worked entirely
by suggestion.
Maintaining a critical attitude
throughout his latest picture, “To
gether Again,” I was able to count
only two scenes where Mr. Boyer
approached Irene Dunne on the
purely physical plane of courtship.
The remaining time he devoted to
(1) innuendo, (2) caressing the
upper part of her arms, and (3)
staring at her. All were testimon
ials to the incontroversial fact that
the French star is a master tech
nician in his own field—love.
As for the plot it winds up in
the position most of Boyer's ro
mantic comedies have a tendency
to do—strictly in the feminine lap.
The story is all about a beautiful
but duty-ridden mayoress of
Brookfield who goes to New York
in search of someone to resculpt
the statue of her former husband
and the late mayor of Brookfield.
The statue which stood in the local
park was decapitated during a
thunder storm.
Georg Corde (Boyer is the sculp
tor of course), with the help of her
father-in-law (Coburn once again
as an oversize cupid in pants), try
throughout the picture to force
mayor Crandall into the realization
that love is not just the spice of
life but also the staff. Complica
tions enter in when Anne Cran
dall’s high school step-daughter
becomes engaged to Georg, and
Anne winds up engaged to the
daughter’s boy friend. All of which
shows, as the daughter says, “a
disgusting difference in age.”
The plot has the guts of a cream
puff but also its flavor. Coburn
simply bored me as a rather silly,
sex-absorbed old man. Miss Dunne
has pretty legs, arms, and teeth
and is capable of showing a charm
ing amount of confusion and em
barrassment. She is nicely teamed
with the sophisticated and skillful
Boyer. But two young kids run off
with the picture—Mona Freeman
and Jerome Courtland as the
daughter with the over-active
glands, and the teen-age giant
from Texas who makes Boyer look
like a fat, little man.
The picture is well-lacquered
with sophistry, has a smart finish
and is about as interesting as its
title.

Classical: Music lovers, and
especially opera fans, will enjoy a
new album release: “The Heart of
‘La Boheme.’" This is an illus
trated “Reeordrama” which fea
tures all the highlights from this
famous opera and is sung by Licia
Albanese, currently singing to ca
pacity crowds at the Metropolitan,
and Benjamino Gigli, one of the
greatest tenors of our time. Um
berto Berretoni conducts the La
Scala orchestra from Milan. The
album contains five twelve-inch
records, all well worth the price.
Another new classical release
brings together four members of
a famous family who have con
tributed much to the world's great
music: Johann Strauss, Sr. and
Jr.; and Johann Jr.'s brothers,
Eduard and Josef. The music, redo
lent of the gay Vienna of the past,
includes “The Emperor Waltz,”
“Loreley,” "Wine, Women, and
Song,” and the waltz from “Die
Fledermaus” (The Bat). Walter
Goehr and the London Philhar
monic orchestra, who were respon
sible for the album “Nights at the
Ballet” perform this release with
equally good spirit and zest.
“Scenes from Wagner Operas,” a
collection of the finest Wagnerian
arias will be released in February.
Wagner lovers are awaiting these
recordings with great anticipation
as the Danish tenor, Lauritz Mel
chior, is featured in many of them.

Love.” Albert Sach’s orchestra ac
companies Dinah on this record.
“Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater,”
an original jump tune written and
played by Hal McIntyre, has been
recently released. It is built on a
catchy repetitious phrase and fea
tures Hal on the sax as well as
other solo instrument spots. “Don’t

side.

Seven Is a “Lucky” Number
Mr. McClane, the registrar at
Whitman college, has been catfed
upon to be, among other things, a
one-man information bureau, a Mr.
Anthony, and an authority on how
to cram the most girls into the
least amount of space. This last
talent became very valuable when
he acted as a taxi driver last week.
Answering a call from seven
coeds who said they had been try
ing all day to get a taxi, the regis
trar hurried over to the dorm and
poured the girls and their luggage
! into his car. They reached the sta
tion just in time, and while the
girls leaped onto the train, he
threw their suitcases in after th&S.
Mr. McClane is thinking seriously
of developing his taxi service, for
as payment for the ride the grate
ful coeds sent him a CARTON OF
CIGARETTES.
