Campus Parking
Space Reserved
In order to conduct business the
University has been forced to put
some restrictions on campus park
ing lots, Earl M. Pallett, registrar,
said Wednesday. The lots at
Friendly hall and Johnson hall are
reserved, he explained, to those
-faculty members having offices
immediately adjacent to those
buildings and other people trans
acting business with University
heads.
Stickers Issued
“It has been a long-standing
regulation,” Mr. Pallett declared,
“that students should refrain from
parking in these lots.” The lot by
the music building, however, is
open to all as are all campus
streets.
To facilitate identification of
faculty cars permitted to park in
the two restricted lots stickers
have been mailed to those con
cerned. These stickers will aid the
campus policeman in identifying
cars unauthorized to use the lots.
Three Lots Available
Mr. Pallett pointed out that
other colleges have many acres of
streets available which they can
control. The Eugene city streets,
of course, are not controlled by
the University, he said, so that
only the three small lots are avail
able for control.
Student violators of parking
regulations will probably receive
cards notifying them that they are
acting against necessary rules.

Veteran’s Section
I
, Ann Bm'gess, president of
Kwamas, announced last, night
that Kwamas will contact all
men’s living organizations today
at dinner to secure “News of the
Classes" information about “re
turned vets" for Old Oregon maga
zine.
The plan to secure news items
of veteran students originated in
the magazine offices after a pre
liminary test survey was taken
among Old Oregon’s “Big Four”
readers. The Veteran's section to
be published in the April issue
will cover all veterans currently
registered in the University, who
were University students before
entering the service.
A form has been prepared to
gather the data, and will be
brought to the men’s organizations
by members of Kwamas to be
filled out by all “returned vets.”

Famous Baritone Presents
Concert in Igloo Tonight
Musical Event Features
John Charles Thomas
This is the day! John Charles
Thomas is in Eugene, and tonight
promptly at 8:15 p.m. the concert
featuring him will begin. McAr
thur court will be the scene of this
long-awaited event, and according
to Mr. G. E. Gaylord, director of
the Eugene Civic Music associa
tion, which is sponsoring the ap
pearance of Mr. Thomas, it is a
musical event which no member
of the ASUO or the ECMA should
miss.
Mr. Thomas, who is a famous
baritone of the Metropolitan op
era, has had a varied career that
has covered four fields of vocal
art—beginning with light opera
and continuing through grand op
era, concert, and radio.
On Radio
Every Sunday morning at 11:30
a.m. Pacific coast time, Thomas
stars on the ‘‘Westinghouse Pro
gram,” which also features a dis
tinguished orchestra and a stir
ring choral group. On this pro
gram he is also a master of cere
monies. This dual role gives the
listener a chance to become ac
quainted with John Charles Thom
as, the man.
Meyersdale, Pennsylvania, is the
birthplace of the baritone. His
father was a Methodist minister,
and as a boy Thomas sang with
his mother and father in the camp
meetings at which his father
preached.
The education he received was a

John Charles Thomas, 'Everything But Irish/
Says Perfect Piece Has Melody and Story
By Herb Penny
Looking ruefully down at his
wool-encased leg, John Charles
Thomas, square-cut baritone, sigh
ed and entered the elevator. “I got
caught short in Eugene,” the
famous singer said as the elevator
rose. ‘‘I thought it would be cold
here and now have only my long
socks.”
Then, walking along the hotel
corridor, he overheard a chamber
maid, ‘‘Gee, we’ve got some new
sheets,” and he grinned and re
marked, ‘‘I haven't heard that in
a long time. My wife has been
on short rations for a long while.”
“Everything But Irish”
Serfling down on a sofa to talk
about music and his program in \
McArthur court this evening, Mr.;
Thomas, who describes himself as
“everything but Irish,” mused, “I
wouldn’t choose a selection that
didn't have a beautiful story. The
words should count. Of course, it
must also have a terrific melody.
When a piece has both it’s perfect.
Like Dupark’s Fourteen Perfect
Songs.”
“This audience, I suppose,” he
went on, “will be somewhat dif
ferent than the usual one as it
will have a mixture of students
and older people. But all audi
ences,” the baritone emphasized,
“are really the same- -that is, they
reflect the artist.”
War Camp Entertainer
In his tours during the war Mr.
Thomas sang in more hospitals I
and camps than any other travel
ing artist. “Soldiers are the same
as students; they appreciate all
types of music.-There is no special
stress on jazz. And I give them
just the type of thing I do on the
radio, from light opera to Brahms
and Shubert to “Home on the
Range.”
“In fact,” he grinned, “I give
my listeners the songs that many
}f my more ‘snooty’ musical firends
don’t like. But I feel sorry for
those who don’t like their music
too ‘tuneful’.”
Music Appreciation
For many pieces, however, Mr.
Thomas believes one needs some
musical basis to appreciate them.
‘It’s like building a house,” he ex

Side Beer License
Queried by Board
There has been no request from
state liquor control agents in re
gard to the university attitude to
ward the granting of a beer licens e
at the College Side Inn, Karl W.
Onthank, dean of personnel ad
ministration stated Wednesday.
There can be no comment towa? il
the application, he said, unless a
request is received.
College Attitude Probed
The application for a class C
license was reviewed Tuesday by
the liquor control commission but
no action was taken. At that time
Commission Chairman George P.
Lilley declared that he would at
tempt to obtain the university at
titude.
James F. Brorby, co-owner ;f
the Side, said Wednesday that be
had talked with many university
officials personally on the matter
and met with no opposition.
1916 License Kef used
Brorby explained that the Side
had held a license for twelve years.
A refusal on his application for a
1946 license was made last Decem
ber, however, and he is now appeal
ing that decision.
Basis for the original decision
was the difficulty of stopping
minors from drinking beer on the
premises. No complaint has ever
been received by the Side, Brorby
said.
