Ork Conductor
Ignored Odds
Despite heavy odds in his youth
which were not favorable to his
becoming a musician, Dimitri Mi
tropoulos is today one of the out
standing conductors in the world.
Webfoots and members of the Eu
■ gene Civic Music association will
have a chance to see the famed
conductor in person Tuesday at
8 15 p. m. when he appears with
the Minneapolis symphony or
chestra in McArthur court.
Mitropoulos was 7 years old
when things came to the point
where arbitration would no longer
work—his parents could no long
er find other entertainment to
take the place of the piano. He
had had difficulty convincing his
parents, devout members of the
Greek Orthodox church, that he
should be permitted to study, for
instrumental music had no place
in the rites of their church.
Relations Priests
The fact that his grandfather
was a priest, his grand-uncle an
archbishop and that two uncles
were monks made his task no
easier.
Mitropoulos’ persistency won
over family disapproval in the end.
Today he is one of the most
talked-of figures in the inter
national field of music.
Talks with Mirtopoulos reveal
that his music is a hard—but lov
abie—master and takes up the ma
jority of his time. It forces him to
live a life of austerity and depri
vation. He doesn’t have time for
social activities or travel.
Likes Movies
His relaxation therefore comes
when he goes to the movies. He
places himself in the role of the
hero, detective, or socialite of a
fast moving picture—and enjoys
it.
The Greek conductor has a word
of caution for any young com
posers to acquire depth, get the
habit of going to the heart of
things and not to hurry!
Daily newspapers, including the
Emerald, may be found at the Co-op
every morning at nine.

Library Exhibit
Suggests Spring
The current exhibit in the circu
lation department of the library,
arranged by Miss Deborah Lewis,
circulation assistant, is in tune with
the times with a suggestion of
spring.
One part of the exhibit features
two paintings, done in pastels,
showing spring scenes. Another sec
tion exhibits several books on gar
dening, a book on bicycling, and a
book on the popular spring pastime,
picnics.
Still another phase of the exhibit
features pictures of campus activ
ities during spring term.
The last part of the exhibit shows
spring fashions, as they are now
and as they were in great-grand
mother’s day. One picture shows the
beautiful satin gowns worn in 1872
and another features a beach cos
tume, as worn in 1897.
