The Oregana editor’s chair will be vacant until the educa tional activities board has had a chance to interview all candi dates for the position, but spring term will not be a forgotten chapter in next year’s annual. Dick Williams, manager of educa tional activities, will direct photography assignments and super vise any other work which cannot be delayed until an editor is chosen. As pre-war manager of activities and former business manager of the Oregana, he knows the book’s schedule and the contacts which must be made. If the board has to delay its decision until the end of spring term, staff organization and the over-all plans for next year’s book also will have to wait. The new editor will not have had spring term in which to become familiar with the job and to map out deadlines, sections, and distribution of responsibilities. He or she will have the double burden of making up a term of work and assuming current duties. liven with these drawbacks, the educational activities board postponed selection for valid reasons. Producing an Oregana of the traditional excellence requires a thorough knowledge of many details. Without several years of training in these routines, the editor is in for more griefs than either he or the educational activities office can hear. The decision was not an insult to campus talent but a recog nition that, if possible, that talent should not be broken by assignment to a task too difficult for it at this time. • • • WcUtUta. lo-'i the Weekend... Some obliging- anti-Oregon force has given freshman boys an incentive for doing their traditional paint-job on the “O” on Skinner’s butte. Usually, when the freshmen trudge to the “O” during Junior Weekend, they only have to cover up the effects of Oregon weather. This year, the work of their brooms and tattered pants will be dedicated to a badly-needed repair of Oregon’s symbol on the butte. The “O” has been camouflaged for several months now. A volunteer group might do the project, but the freshmen might as well have the honor of covering the damaged “O" while they’re doing their weekend duty. uuiuiiiiiiiimniiiiiiinmiliHiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiimuiiiiiiniiiiiiiiuiiiiiitniimiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiimHniiiiimniiiiiiiiimiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniimmiHiim) /l jbucA at tlte. 2>lat iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiuiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinmiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniii By PAT KING This term the students have taken over complete responsi bility for student programs on Tuesdays and Thursdays and have set up their own staff of directors. Ted Hallock will be in charge of production, Betty Jane Miller, continuity; Bob Kirkpatrick, publicity; and Sue Welch Carleton, music. Under this staff will work the producers who are responsible for every part of the programs. WeeKiy post monems on me programs are held in the radio studio and the “corpus delecti,” the producer, is dissected by Mr. Krenk and other members of the staff with criticisms and com ments. Things will start off with a bang on the new line to KOAC which will give “unh definition,” quotes Miss Miller, quoting Mr. Krenk. On Thursdays at 1 the Univer sity Workshop Players will pre sent a variety of drama that will run from sprints by Norman Cor win and Arch Obler to those written by the script writing class. From 1:30 to 4:45, a program of classical music featuring Univer sity talent will be heard, and winding up the hour will be “something for you,” a light, in formal musical 15 minutes spot lighting local Sinatras, Hildegardes, and Frankie Carles. Getting Into the Act If you would like to participate as an actor, entertainer, or writer on the programs, see one of the above people or mosey over to the radio station, which is across the street from the journalism building, and talk to Mr. Krenk.

We jump and fidget, laugh a hollow laugh, and make a hollow sound all day with words. Man-like, we excel the beast those days, for language run amuck can murder soft light in beloved eyes, can kill what, even in the killing, we hold dear. More Brain “More brain, Oh Lord, more brain or we utterly mar this fair garden we might win.”* And God, what does it mean, the fitful days ? A trial perhaps, a way to fashion strength? Perhaps a game ? Is it a chance ? Do you laugh, God, or do you weep? Say one— Please God—we shudder at the mediant! All the body muscles in their play, eager and swift for passietT? hot for heat; enraged and furious at fancied wrongs—all these mus cles clamoring, for eyes give us not the strength to bow our heads. Why So Proud ? Tell me, man, why did you grow so proud? Where are the toys you treasured as a child? . . strayed and soon forgot (you wept?)

By Betty Bennett Cramer Latest collector’s item to be re leased by Victor is the Bach “So nata in E for Harpsichord Con certante and Violin Solo,” record ed by Yehudi Menuhin and Wanda Landowska. The former, great American-born violinist who has been highly acclaimed in all his musical endeavors, teams nicely with Miss Landowska, who is by common consent the world’s great est harpsichordist. This is Bach as it should be heard. Proof that music is healing, is shown in the record of hospitjjL appearances of the Boston ' Sym phony orchestra. Recently, the orchestra under the baton of Richard Burgin, concert-master, celebrated its 500th concert. All the programs have been provided voluntarily by solo players, com binations of two or three, quar tets, and largest groups. Most of the concerts have been given in wards, especially for those devot ed to neuro-psychiatric cases, but the larger groups have performed in hospital recreation halls. The audiences, consisting of service men confined to hospitals, have ranged from a single listen er to about 3000 persons; the to tal, as of January, mounted to around 24,000 men. The concerts have required 180 special trips for which transportation wras provided by the' volunteer Red Cross driv ers; they were organized as part of the army Tehabilatation and army and navy recreation pro grams and undertaken in addition to the Boston orchestra’s heavy schedule of concert and recording performances in Symphony hall.
