Miss rtognaam nas a contract
with the National Concert Asso
ciation, who arranged for this per
formance. She went south last
spring for auditions and while
auditioning for NBC, the road man
for the National Concert Asso
ciation heard her and offered her
a contract.
Summer Session
Miss Rogndahl then came back
to Eugene and worked with her
instructor, Sigurd Nilssen, profes
sor of voice in the school of mu
sic, for four hours a day all sum

Now in New York, Miss Rogn

recently auditioned for the Metro
politan, and will probably appear
on the Metropolitan Auditions of
the Air.
^Miss Rogndahl studied for four
years here with Nilssen, who be
lieves she has one of the finest
voicest on the air. “Marie has a
good voice,’’ he stated, “but she
has blossomed into a fine artist
by hard work. She was always
the first one in the practice room
in the morning, and the last one to
* leave.”
Jerome Kern Audition
Nilssen said that everyone for
whom Miss Rogndahl has audition
ed was thrilled with her voice. He
related that she auditioned for
the late Jerome Kern, who was
very pleased with her voice, and
advised her to go to New York, and
get experience in light opera.
A second Marie Rogndahl is in
the making right here in Eugene,
Nilssen believes. She is 13-year-old

Nilssen.
“I heard a voice outside mimic
Marie as she practiced cadensas
and one day I discovered who the
voice was,” he related. ‘‘She has
just started studying, but some
day I think she’ll be a second Marie

‘No Rapid Change in Japanese
Ideology,’ Says Journal Editor
eyewitness Relates
Japan's Surrender
By MARYANN HOWARD
i ou can t modernize a
country in a few years nor can
you expect a quick change in
the Japanese people,” declared
Philip L. Jackson, editor and
publisher of the Oregon Jour
nal after a speech to students
and faculty Tuesday night in
which he related his eyewit
ness story of the Japanese surren
der.
“It will take quite a while for the
Japanese people to know the mean
ing of freedom of thought, much
less of speech,” he said. “They
haven’t been taught to think—they
have been told what to think.
Structurally their schools resemble
those you see in this country, but
the material taught in the schools
is all of one pattern—a pattern ac
ceptable to the military and the
“thought control” policies which
are more like the German Gestapo
than anything else.”
Jackson expected to be away
only two or three weeks when he
left Portland as the guest of the
war and navy departments to write
the progress of the struggle in the
Pacific. He had been to the 'Far
East years before, but this trip
turned out to last over two
months. He traveled by plane, air
plane carrier, and cruisers to sev
eral of the war fronts of the Pa
cific and was aboard the battle
ship USS Missouri when the treaty
with Japan wass igned.
Women Scorned
Women foreign correspondents,
at least in the theater in which he
traveled, were few, stated Mr.
Jackson. “It’s an absurb place for
women journalists,” he said, “as
it s definitely not setup for women
and they keep turning up where
they’re not supposed to be. I re
call two- representatives from AP
and UP who were trying to beat
each other ashore so one could
claim to be the first one there. But
they both had to take the same
boat to shore and it was left for
honor.”
Equal Suffrage
Women in Japan are little more
than servants and chattel, said
Jackson. In the coming election
they will have the right, for the
first time, to vote along with the
men. Maybe this is the beginning,
said the editor; maybe the women
will develop a position of near
equality, although such develop
ment depends upon their class,
All Houses to Close
Over Thanksgiving
All living organizations includ
ing dorms and co-ops will be closed
during Thanksgiving vacation, it
was announced at the last Heads
of Houses meeting, Monday. How
ever it was decided that if enough
girls from the dorms remained,
one of the halls would be kept
open.
Recommendations opposing the
re-routing of buses from Willam
ette street to Oak street were sent
in to the Eugene city council as
it was felt that the latter street
does not present as favorable a
situation for coeds to wait for the
buses.
Harriet Farr, vice-president,
presided at the short meeting.

their opportunities, and the break
ing down of old customs. As for
Japanese newspapers and news
papermen, Jackson feels that they
will welcome a free press. "They're
pretty good papers, too,” he com
mented; "you can tell that by their
circulation—usually two and three
million. They had their own news
services until the military gained
control, when they were merged to
form Domei, the official news
agency. The newspapers have al
ways been in a measure controll
ed, ’ continued Jackson. "I remem
ber in 1934 when the papers used
to come out with “blank” spaces
on the front pages, because certain
stories were considered unwise t o
print. Yes, I think the Japs will
welcome a free press, but they will
have to learn that they are free.”
