PROFESSOR GEORGE HOPKINS
George Hopkins, professor of
piano, will present a concert of
French-American music at 8:15
tonight in the music school audi
torium.
Tonight’s program, which is
sponsored jointly by Phi Mu Al
pha Sinfonia and the school of
music, is open to the public.
There will be no admission
charge.
Hopkins returned Tuesday
from a concert engagement in
Lakeview, where he played six
encores before a packed high
school auditorium. He regarded
it as significant that so remote
a community should have such
a fine turnout for a concert. He
gave a concert recently in Med
ford.
This will be the only concert
-that Hopkins will present in Eu
gene this year. He has scheduled
an engagement in Salem in the
spring.

Dr. Wright
To Lecture
On France
Address Tonight
At Critical Period
In French History
Dr. Gordon Wright, associate
professor of history and an author
ity on France, will open the 1947
48 University lecture series tonight
in 207 Chapman hall with an ad
dress on “Anatomy of the Fourth
French Republic.” The lecture will
begin at 8.
Dr. Wright’s views should be of
particular interest because of the
resignation yesterday of the French
coalition cabinet. The University
man had an opportunity to view
I the inner workings of French poli
tics recently while assigned to the
political section of the United
States embassy in Paris.
Discussing his address tonight
Dr. Wright said Tuesday that as
the eyes of the world focus today
on the action of the communist par
ties France today assumes an im
portant strategic position in world
politics. The French political and
economic situation today may have
a bearing not only on French in
ternal conditions, but on world af
fairs, he said.
French politics, according to Dr.
Wright, is a product of tradition.
The divisions are deep and people
who have made studies of elections
in France have found that little
change has taken place over the
years.
Webfooters Call Meet

7:30 tonight in 105 Journalism

all men are brothers . . but so they will not vote the communist
ticket.
