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

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

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

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
