Salzedo Group Recites Experiences on Trips; Cellist Recommends Idaho Potatoes for Tone By LA UK A OLSON Tiny jn stature, but possessing an enormous amount of musical ability and versatility, the Salzedo concert ensemble group is as charming off stage as on. Amid the hubub of pre-concert time the group was found rehearsing in McArthur court Thursday after noon. Headed by Carlos Salzedo, the ensemble arrived in Eugene Wed nesday evening from Aberdeen, Washington. Thursday morning found them delighted by the Ore gon weather (they had not heard of the flood) and preparing for the events of the evening. Misses Game Miss Mimi Allen, harpist and first to be queried, was quite dis mayed that she would not be able to see the Oregon-Oregon State basketball game Saturday night. “My uncle owns a hotel in Cor vallis,” she said, as her dimples jumped mischieviously. “I’m afraid to think whom I’d have to root for.” Standing a mere five feet tall, she is the only unmarried member of the group. Perhaps male Web foots could have forgiven her had she had the chance to cheer for the Beavers—had she put her dimples to work. Future Bright Tuning his harp a few feet'away stood Mr. Salzedo, originator of the group. “We have toured together for five years,” he stated, “and the future holds much in store.” Salzedo believes that the future of the harp is unlimited. “Their tone is improving each year,” he asserted, “and, too, the musical public is learning the value of the harp as a solo instrument as well as one of a group of instruments.” Mr. Salzedo is recognized as one of the foremost harpists in the world. Practicing on her flute nearby was Mrs. Ruth Freeman. She is the tiniest of the four, just barely 4’10” in stocking feet. Mrs. Free man’s handmade silver flute has led a life of adventure. Stolen from her in New York City, it was four'll by the police—finally in a Har-, lem pawn shop where the thief left it for seven dollars. “I was mad clear through,” de clared the flutist, “Not only d il they steal it, but they were stup'd enough to get only that small amount for it. Hmmmmmph!” She guards the flute zealously now. Gotta Spud, Bud? Mrs. Hill’s method of taking ca<e ( Please turn to page eight )
