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.

Students of Caucasian Ancestry
Edit Unique Japanese Quarterly
By PAT KING
If you happen to drop into the Romance language department, and
see Assistant Professor Laurence LeSage casually glancing through a
small, blue-covered magazine, don’t pass it off as just another professor
reading some literary effort in Spanish, German, or French.
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.
