VOLl'ME XLVUI_UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY. APKI1. 9. 1947 Xumher 105 Minnesota's Famous Symphony Orchestra MUSIC MA STEKS . . . The Minneapolis Symphony, under the direction of Dimitri Mitropoulos, will appear at McArthur court this evening. The program is free to all University students. Minneapolis Symphony to Play Tonight at 8:15 The 90-piece Minneapolis symphony orchestra will appear in McArthur court tonight at 8:15 p. m. Conducted bv Dimitri Mitropoulos, the orchestra is making a nation-wide tour. The concert is open to either members of the Eugene Civic Music association, sponsor of the artist series, or the ASUO. Members of Phi Theta Upsilon and Kwama, junior and sophomore women service honoraries, will usher. They are asked to come to McArthur court in uniform by 7 p. m. The doors will open at 7:30 p. m. 1906 Tour Making its first tour in 1906 the orchestra has traveled in all parts of the United States as well as Canada and Cuba. During these years, it has played over 2,700 concerts in almost 400 cities. ^Dimitri Mitropoulos, conductor, uses no baton and conducts from memory. He decided early in his career that he could get along without a score. The matter of the baton came later and introduced a new technique to the profession of orchestra conducting, he states. Mitropoulos feels that one can’t keep his eye on music on a desk, turn pages constantly, and still command an easy, fidwing per formance from the orchestra. At least, he feels he can't. The famed conductor feels that America is on the threshold of a golden age of music. He points out that most of Europe's musical talent has found its way to this continent and that from it the American musician and composer is learning invaluable. “There is no question in my mind,” he has stated, “that the next Beet hoven or Bach will be an Ameri can.” Tonight's program will include: Tone Poem, “Death and Transfig uration and Symphony in D Mi nor. Season Opens With Foul Ball The opening of baseball season will be celebrated Saturday night from 9 to 12 p.m. when the first annual Foul Ball rolls into Gerlin ger hall, Tom Hazzard announced yesterday. Informal dress will be of the evening. The wearing of base ball caps is being encouraged, but no cleats will be allowed on the dance floor, Hazzard said. Baseball fans may proceed to Gerlinger individually or with dates. Prices of admission have been set at 60 cents per couple and 50 cents for stags. During the seventh-inning stretch the traditional rendition of “Casey at the Bat” and other entertainment ►is being planned by the Webfooters, promoters of the rally squad, under the direction of Sam Gillette. Red hots and pop will be available While they last, Hazzard said. Women’s Houses Invite Senior Girls Women’s living organizations on the campus have sent invitations to approximately 350 high school sen iors to be their guests for the week end of April 18-20, Barbara Johns, president of AWS, announced Mon day. The invitations were extended through AWS. The high school girls will be those who hav esignified their in tention of enrolling in the Univer sity next fall. On the campus they will be guests of the living organi zations in which they have ex pressed an interest. “This year we are confining spring rushing activity of women’s houses to one weekend instead of the former practice of having it spread out over the entire term. Of course this has the advantage of taking the high school girls away from their schools for one weekend only, instead of several as was pre viously the case. It also benefits us by leaving the houses more time for studies,” Miss Johns said. The visitors will be entertained Friday night at the “Nickel Hop.” On Saturday they will be guests at a luncheon given by Oregon Moth ers and at a Panhellenic tea that afternoon. The visiting seniors will leave Sunday afternoon following church services and dinner in the several houses.

If you look closely enough you’ll see that he is reading in a very pe culiar manner . . . starting at the back of the magazine and reading forward! Not only that, instead of reading from left to right across the page, he is scanning the article from bottom to top . . . from right to left. LeSage, who teaches Japanese, has recently received a Japanese quarterly magazine, the first of its kind to be published in the United States, from the Military Intelligence Service Language school, Presidio of Monterey, California. A few photographs and small pen drawings illustrate the articles and due credit is given to the staff which is made up of students of Ori ental and Caucasian ancestry who are being trained as linguists for the occupation forces in Japan.
