Will Help Iron Out
Insurance Problems
Veterans!
If you have been awaiting an an
swer to the questions you sent in on
your government insurance some
months ago, swear no more. If you
have been wondering if you should
convert that term insurance to
something else, stop worrying and
.work on your thesis. If your policy
has lapsed and you want to rein
estate, but don’t know if and how
you can, your problems are over.
Conferences Planned
Raymond J. Goodhart, insurance
officer from the Veterans’ Admin
istration regional office in Portland,
will spend Thursday, February 27,
on the campus, participating in a
series of conferences designed to
assist any veteran with insurance
problems. He will be accompanied
by an agent cashier qualified to ac
cept premiums, to give receipts for
payments, and complete other fi
nancial settlements on conversions
and reinstatements. This announce
ment was made Monday by G. F.
Sweeney, assistant to the dean of
men.
Goodhart is scheduled to hold
three separate meetings Thursday,
in room 3, Fenton hall, to give all
veterans a chance to atteend. Ses
sions will be at 11 a.m., 2 p.m., and
7 p.m., and will be planned to give
information concerning general in
surance problems.
Insurance Information
Veterans who have let their in
•fhranee lapse and are now desirous
of reinstatement, will be able to
avoid the delay that goes with cor
respondence by attending one of
these meetings. After the discussion
they may make a required two
months’ back premium payment at
the rate effective when the policy
was in force.
The only other requirement for
term insurance is that the veteran
be in as good health as he was when
the policy lapsed. For other types
of insurance, all back premiums
now due must be paid before rein
statement can be accomplished.
Goodhart has had a wide expe
rience in the insurance field and is
considered an expert. Prior to com
ing to Portland to assume his pres
ent duties, he was with the insur
ance division of the veterans’ ad
ministration in Washington, D. C.

Alexander Brailowsky
Now in 25th Season
By LAURA OLSEN
Staff Writer, The Emerald
Alexander Brailowsky, Rus
sian pianist, will appear in Mc
Arthur court tonight at 8:15.
The current season marks the
twenty-first anniversary of the
American debut of the pianist.
Admission to the concert will
be limited to members of the
Eugene Civic Music associa
tion, sponsors of the concert,
and members of the ASUO.
Popularity Standing
Brailowsky came to America in
1 924 for the first time, and was suc
cessful in his first appearance here.
Coming for a limited tour of sjx
weeks, he remained for four months.
Since then he has appeared here
continuously for the past 21 years.
Thirty-six years ago in Russia.,
Serge Rachmaninoff, then govern
ment inspector of music schools,
visited the Conservatory of Music
in Kiev. While reviewing the large
piano class, he noticed a young boy,
and singling him out, said, “You
have the hands of a great pianist,
let me heaj .you play..”
When the boy had finished, Rach
maninoff said, “You are destined, I
am sure, to be a great pianist.” The
boy was Alexander Brailowsky, who
has fulfilled that prediction.
Romantics Preferred
Brailowsky prefers the music of
the romantic composers; Chopin,
Schumann and Liszt. He has played
every note that Chopin wrote for
the piano.
Robert Hichens, famous novelist,
has this to say about Brailowsky’s
J interpretation of music: He can be
[ absolutely robust in Chopin’s music
and yet give *11 its enticing ro
mance. Some pianists make Cho
pin seem effeminiate. Brailowsky
never does this.

New System
Of Registering
Gains Approval
Some Students Fail
To Pick Up Materials
Advance registration, bringing
ir: a new system that is to the old
what a dream is to a nightmare,
got under way Morning morning at
Johnson hall. The only drawback,
according to C. E. Avery, Univer
sity registrar, seemed to be that
some of the Monday students who
were to pick up registration mate
rial, evidently let the weekend get
the best of them and forgot to show
up. Or it could have been that things
were moving so quietly no one could
believe it was registration and just
walked by.
No Lines
mere were no lines in evidence;
waiting time was limited, in most
cases, to one minute. No groping for
material was needed and instruc
tions for registration procedure
were clearly printed on the envel
opes which held correctly appor
tioned equipment. The staid, heavy
atmosphere of Johnson hall was
scarcely rippled by the added ac
tivity.
Avery said that those students
who did not appear at the scheduled
time would be able to pick up their
envelopes at any time until 5:00
p.m., Wednesday. If registration is
not started by then, however, it will
be necessary for the student to wait
until the beginning of spring term.
This may mean, he said, that some
students will not get into the de
sired sections or classes.
Follow Instructions
The registrar also repeated his
request that students do not take
class cards to the department offic
es until called for. It is expected
that most departments will ask that
cards be turned in before examina
tion week. If the cards are still in
the hands of the students on Mai eh
31, they are to be taken to the de
partment offices without the neces
sity of a request.
A deviation in the registration,
program was announced by Dr. P.
W. Souers, head of the English de
partment. He said that registrat on
for section 216, a special section for
students who have received A oi B
English grades and wish to write on
special subjects, must be made
through the English composition
department instead of through .in
dividual teachers. Applications may
be obtained March 3 and 4 at room
12, Friendly.
