Speaker Stresses Religious Program Dr. Phillips P. Moulton, speaking before a group of students, fac ulty members and Eugene minis ters at Westminster house Friday stressed the need for a University Christian Mission on the campus. The purpose behind this move ment, Dr. Moulton continued, is to awaken interest in religion among students. It is aimed at the mass of students and not at any particular group. Dr. Moulton then went on to out line a simple program for the week. He emphasized that the program was extremely flexible and could be adjusted to fit the needs of any school. Many schools, among them the University of Pennsylvania and Ohio State uni versity, have held a Mission with great success. Dr. Boulton is a member of the University Christian Mission com mittee. The mission is sponsored igintly by the Department of Evan gelism of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America and the United Student Christian council. 50-City Concert Tour Mr. Rubinstein’s concert season this year will include 50 cities and 16 dates with major symphony orchestras, with five appearances in Carnegie hall. Nine leading composers of five nationalities have dedicated works to Artur Rubinstein: the Russians, Stravinsky and Prokofieff; the Poles, Szmanowski and Tansman; the French, Milhaud. Poulenc and Ponce; the Brazilian Livva-Lobos and the American, John Alden Carpenter. Carnegie Episode Rubintsein, known as the vol canic Polish pianist, performed an astonishing feat last season on the occasion of his first Carnegie hall concert of the year. In the afternoon Mr. Rubinstein played under the baton of Arturo Toscanini, performing the Beet hoven C Minor Concerto with the NBC orchestra. In the evening, wearing the red carnation which he characteristically wears in his lapel, he stepped briskly out on the platform before a sell-out, eager Carnegie hall audience to play his first solo concert of the year. “No Ordinary Concert” This was not an ordinary Car negie hall concert. Rubinstein had planned an all-Chopin program. Wrote PM: “There was no sign of fatigue in the evening performance, which went far to prove—as the pianist intended it to—that Chopin was no mere elegant salon com poser but a heroic figure who has inspired generations of Poles in their fight for freedom.” The virtuoso was surprised at the surprise his feat occasioned. “There’s nothing so very remark able about it, he said to his ques tioners. “I used to do it often in Europe—and in two different (Please turn to page si.v) Ducks, Portland Share Double Bill; 16-0,4-2 Webfoot Saltzman; Pilot Carlascio Win With One-Hit Performances By Art Litchman, Co-sports Editor Oregon's Hal Saltzman and Portland’s Dick Carlascio both turned in one-hit ball games yesterday afternoon on Howe field to enable their respective teams to divide a double-header. The Ducks walloped three Pilot hurlers in the opener to chalk up an easy 16 to 0 victory and the Rose City nine came back in the nightcap to take a 4 to 2 decision. Dr. Lussky Review Asked by Library Antique Article to Congressional Archives Dr. G. F. Lussky, head of the University German department, was recently asked by the Library of Congress to prepare for its files a review of “Die aelteste Chronik der HutteriscHen Brue der.” The chronicle, in question was compiled between 1581 and 1665 and falls into a period in which Mr. Lussky has done considerable study. The manuscript of the chronicle written in early new high German was long believed to be irretrievably lost until Professor A. J. F. Zieglschmid of Northwest ern university in Evanston, Illinois, happened to discover it in its orig inal form in Tabor, South Dakota, where it had been brought from Europe by some of the Hutterian Brethern. This book is the oldest chronicle of the Hutterian Brethern who settled here in America in Indiana, the Dakotas and other states. Dr. Lussky believes that there may be some of them here in Oregon. The chronicle is of great value for religious, historical, cultural, and linguistic studies. While he was teaching at the University of Minnesota Dr. Lus sky used to conduct graduate Sam i'Please turn to page six) me two teams tangle again to day in Portland in the final pre conference tussles for Coach Hobby Hobson's crew. Dick Lehl, fresh man right hander, Dick Smith, leading Oregon hurler with two straight wins, and Bob Warner are slated to handle the mound duties. Yesterday’s split with Coach Jack Wilson’s nine was the fourth divided double bill of the season for Oregon. In each instance the locals have won the opener and then dropped the finale. It was all Saltzman in the first game. The big right hander throttled the Pilots with a single blow, a single to left by opposing pitcher Roy Devaney in the third, walked only one man and never had more than one runner on the sacks in any one inning. Carlascio duplicated Saltzman's feat in the seven inning finale and came within a whisker of turning in a no-hit ball game. In the fifth inning Spike Johnson topped a roller down the third base line and Pilot Johnny Lewis was slow getting to the ball. Johnson beat the hit out and went to second when Lewis threw the ball into right field. Carlasgio had plenty of competi tion from big Lyle Pettyjohn, making his first start for Oregon after tossing the last inning of the first game, and Homer Bropst. There wasn't an earned run in the ball game. Portland scored in the first when Pettyjohn tossed wildly on an easy grounder for a two-base error and Johnson let a (Please turn to page five) Former Chinese Ministry Official Relates of Home, Politics, War Life By Maryann Thielen At the age of 25, Chinese-born Yothi Chou, better know as Jue Stanton to the Oregon campus, has been Chinese official for the ministry of foreign affairs to the United States, special technician for naval intelligence, and is now finishing his education at the Uni versity as a junior in political science. Stanton, who uses a pseudonym because it’s easier for Americans to pronounce, was born in Kuang tung, a city of 1,000,000 persons located in southeast China. His grammar school and high school years were spent in Peking, but he returned to Kuangtung to at tend the Kuomin university where his father is a sociology professor. Professors Change Rooms Asked about differences betweefi the University of Oregon and his former school, Jue replied, “The main difference that I have no ticed is that at Kuomin the pro fessors change classrooms rather than the students.” He added that students study more intensively in China and don’t spend as much time at sports or other extra-cur ricular activities. The Japanese occupation made it necessary to move the univer sity five or six times from 1938 on, but studies continued neverthe less. Chinese Official In 1940, Jue was selected as of ficial under the ministry of for eign affairs and attached to the Chinese office of naval attache in Washington, D.C. His office work ed with the U.S. government in obtaining aid for China in the form of excess ships, and in training a Chinese navy. His main comment on his work was, “We were pretty busy all the time.” After two years with the for eign affairs office, Stanton was requested by the navy department to do special assignments under the Office of Naval Intelligence because of his knowledge of the Far East. He spent a year pre paring for the work by taking a 6-month course in military gov ernment and one in psychological warfare. The ten men taking the latter course were taken to all the allied-occupied countries in Eur ope to study the people and their reactions to war. CINCPAC-POAC Following his year’s training, Jue was assigned to CINCPAC POA, the Pacific military com mand of the fleet and Pacific ocean area with headquarters in Pearl (Please turn to paye six) ’Sing’ Entrance Deadline Today Applications Now Due In Ed.
