The University Ski club, reor ganized since its disbandment in 1942, is still open for member ship. Skiing is expected to last well into May. Accidents Worry Skiing has again become popular all over Oregon now that trans portation facilities are available. The popularity would probably be even greater were it not for the fear of accident in the minds of many people. Accidents rarely happen to ex perienced skiers and the beginner usually does not get hurt because he falls before too much momen tum is gained. Most accidents happen to skiers who lack training, have little knowledge of snow and trail con ditions, and are in poor physical condition. Smith to Give Lecture On Stream Problems W. D.

Price Snows Students; i Student Praises Suds The 100th anniversary of the founding- of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was commemorated by a lecture to his class in elementary journalism given by one of Milwaukee’s loyal sons, Warren C. Price of the journalism school. The students were required to turn in reports of the talk. An excerpt from one of the papers gave the clue to Mil waukee’s reputation: ‘After 40 minutes of exalt ing Milwaukee’s status among American cities, Mr. Price ad mitted that as a native-born ' son, he could find little that was wrong with Milwaukee. He described citizens of the city and state as plain-spoken, individualistic, straight-shoot ing group of Americans who didn’t give a damn what others thought, but did what they deemed wisest in Wisconsin.” A postcript to the student’s report said, “P.S. After hear talk and having spent a few hours in your Bagdad, I went to the libe and read of Milwau kee in a hook prepared by the American Guide series. I refer you to the ninth line on page 248; they would answer your question on what makes a city great—beer.” Vets Meet Today To Form Society A meeting of all University veterans at 4 p.m. today in the music auditorium has been called by Robert Lunn, chairman of the planning committee.

While waiting for the prop erties, settings, scores, and cos tumes that never arrived for the scheduled performance of “Car men,” the company presented somewhat spontaneous entertain ment in the fashion of a variety show. Never knowing what to expect next, the audience heard selections from seven different operas, pre sented in arias, choral ensembles, and orchestral transcriptions. Robinson Explains After an explanatory chat by Horace Robinson, the orchestra presented the “Overture to the Bar ber of Seville” by Rossini on bor rowed instruments from the music school. In spite of all the confusion, the orchestra did a good job; with special credit going to the har rassed conductor. The prima donna of the opera, Marie Powers, sang “My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice,” from “Sampson and Delilah” with true operatic technique. Next on the program was an orchestral interpretation of the “Barcarolle” from “Tales of Hoff man” by Offenbach. Miss Barbara Patton entertained with an aria from Cavaileria Rusticana.” Possessing an outstandingly clear voice, Miss Patton’s number was well received. The Don Jose of the Company, Ernice Lawrence, pre sented “Vesti La Guibba” from “Pagliacci.” Mr. Lawrence made up in spirit and operatic feeling what he lacked in technique. Good Spirit Displayed The orchestra’s interpretaton of selections from the “L’ Arlesienne Suite” of Bizet added color to the program. A duet between Miss Patton and Mr. Morelli was out standing because of the baritone's magnificent tones and dramatic stage presence. A choral ensemble accompanied Miss Patton and Mr. Laurence in the “Drinking Song” and the “Prayer” from “Cavalleria Rusticana.” The good spirit and showmanship of this group com pensated for their most unprofes sional appearance on the stage. Singing with charm and purity of tone, Mina Cravi presented “My Name is Mimi’ from “La Boheme,” in a remarkable performance com pletely in character with her role. Mr. Morelli joined Miss Cravi to sing the “Duet" from the third act of the same opera. More of “La Boheme” was given by 'Virginia Blair who sang “Musetta’s Waltz Song.” Her voice, although strong, lacked the sparkle of Miss Cravi’s. Closing this unique concert, the orchestra played music from Madame Butterfly.” uiacussion wmcn nas oeen sched uled for Saturday afternoon, Cail C.
