Published daily daring the college year except Sundays, Mondays, and holidays «oa
Anal exam periods by the Associated Students, University o{ Oregon.
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.

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.

On fitful days when coated
tongues are sharp, and bowels'
i knot, disturbing all the inner tract;
nerves are cramped, and thought
is dim.
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?) I
know . . . those tears found other
toys . . . they straightway dried.
So lost pride is . . . wept for but
unmourned.
Lose it quickly else you live a
life with it, and only find a sneer
upon an aged face. •

On the Classical Side ...
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.
