From this, athletic and educational activities appropriations are withdrawn. The Eugene Civic Music Association series comes under the heading of an educational activity, no matter how painless some of the productions may be. in other woids, each student pays for the program—why doesn t eacli stu dent enjoy it? Tomorrow afternoon, at a time when all students should be up and around and ready for a musical interlude, Miklos Gafni, Hungarian tenor, will appear at McArthur court. What is more delightful than that most students will still be dressed the Sunday dinner clothes, and won t have to dress for the in the Sunday dinner clothes, and won t have to dress for the concert, is the fact that the whole thing is free. Among Gafni’s selections will be Caro mio ben, by Giro dani; Scarlatti's O Sassate di piagarmi; Lenski's Aria from Eugene Onegin by Tschaikowsky; and a selection of Neopoli tan folk songs. Gafni will sing a few of his native Hungarian folksongs, the only music that he knew for the earliest years of his life, for it was just a year ago that he made his American debut, having spent his childhood and youth in Hungary. Finden’s Cashmiri Long Song and Charles When l Have Sung my Song will also be presented on the program as representative bits of more contemporary work. Mention the words “educational activities" to a student, and that student can immediately picture many fascinated stu dents in French Communistic glasses sitting around discuss ing the exchange value of the louis and the rupee. But men tion the name of a good musician or group of musicians sched uled on the year’s series, and the same student might just go and get his tuition and fee’s money worth. 10 Years Ago (From Emerald Files) John Warren’s frosh hoopnien opened their 1938 season by losing a game but out-classed Franklin high team 40-22 and 49-29. Reward for hours of gruelling study last term was given to 118 students when the periodic roll of “honor-brights” who maintained a GPA of 3.50 and higher was released from the registrar's office. Eight students piled up a straight 4 point average. Making a clean sweep of their two-game series with Wash ington State's Cougars, defending champions, the Oregon basketball forces sounded a warning to other northern divi sion quintets to keep their eyes on Hobby Hobson’s entry in the race. Dr. Donald Krb. newly chosen president of the University of Oregon, will make his debut to the student body at the first assembly of the winter term in Gerlinger hall. Less than one-seventh of the 3120 students on the Uni versity of Oregon campus are entirely dependent for all of their luuds, while 30 per cent are "grown up" in every sense of the word and earn all of their money, a survey made by the registrar's office recently showed. Journalism runs in the family, Dean Eric W. Allen of the school of journalism commented here today, after a survey dis covered that students in his school include 12 children of newspaper families and two other students related to members of the craft. The news staff of the Oregon Daily Emerald will meet in Room 105 Journalism building for a regular re-organization meeting. “Ah! Wilderness" will be the next campus production of the University theater studio. Through a Glass _Darkly By KIRK BRAUN A voice booms out of the man aging editor’s cubicle: “Hey, Braun, get over to the Beta Haffa Dolla house and take a picture of the “Committee for the Improvement of College Side Bridge Games” for tomorrow’s Emerald, will you?” “Sure, sure,” mutters the weary photographer, as he tears himself away from the Police Gazette and gathers up. his photofloods, light meters, gadget bags, headache pills, collapsible tripods and mis cellaneous paraphernalia. Ten minutes later he trudges back -into the Emerald shack. He forgot the camera. Mumbling into his hypo-stained beard, he stumbles through the rain to the said house and confronts the most interesting subject that a would-be news cameraman can find. Yippee skippee, a commit tee! What a multitude of interesting angles it presents. He can take them standing, sitting or lying on the floor. After deciding that the administration might frown upon photographing a mixed group on the floor, ■ he tries to get the screaming, babbling bunch of idiots to sit still long, enough for a pic ture. This won't work either, since there are so many of them that some must sit on other's laps and the higher-ups would frown upon that also. So that leaves the choice of hav ing the little activity kids line up in nice, neat, little rows on the steps. After listening to all the little “funnys” concerning the “birdie,” the breaking of the lens and other little gems that went out with Brady and his glass negatives, the group is quieted and the shutter is fired. No flash bulb. One wise guy quips, “I told you it wouldn't work.” So the photog rapher puts in a bulb and the whole group is blinded—but the picture is taken. The committee immedi ately disappears and no one knows who was standing next to whom— but that doesn’t matter; the same people are always on every com mittee. The next scene finds the photog rapher in the darkroom. A screech ing cry is heard to filter through the heavy walls—“Nodamnfilmin thecamera!!” This, however, presents no dif ficult problem. Our hero just digs into his negative file (heaped up in one corner of the darkroom along with old Esquires and empty beer bottles) and comes up with a print of the “Committee for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Dance Cleanup Committees.” This he turns over to the managing editor with a sat isfied smile. After all, the same people are always on every com mittee. The photographer then retires, but not before gnashing his teeth at managing editor Yates and Ike 2ud<4i Bide What’s to have fun?—From 'a classified personals column "Any young females around not afraid of fun via mail?” * * * Theatrical hazards, 17th cen tury style—From Samuel Pepys diary of Jan. 28, 1660: "Dined at home, and after dinner to Fleet Streete with my sword to Mr. Brigden . . . and with him to an alehouse . . . and thence to the Theatre, where I saw again "The Lost Lady,” which do now please me better than before; and here t sitting behind in a dark place, a lady spit backward upon me by mistake, not seeing me; but af ter seeing her to be a very pretty lady, I was not troubled at it at all . . .” ❖ # * Via France — We like Dr. G. Wright’s French joke about the man who asked in a book store for a copy of the new French con stitution and was told that the store did not deal in periodicals. * * * More things French — PM tells the story about a lady who took two buyers to lunch at a Frepch restaurant in New York’s East 40s. Striving to be smooth and casual, she summoned the waiter after the meal. "L’addition, s’il vous plait,” she said. “Down those stairs,” said the waiter. "First door to the left.” * * * Grog—The word “grog” h§.s an interesting history. Admiral Ed wai'd Vernon wore a cloak of grogram (French grosgrain, a coarse grain taffeta) and was called “Old Grog” as a result. In 1740 he issued an order which re quired that the British sea-dogs drinking water be adulterated with rum (or was it the other way around?) As a consequence the mixture was dubbed grog, according to reliable sources. Vets May Pick Up Supplies at Co-op Veterans may now receive their basic supplies at the Co-op upon presentation of their vets card'. The system of packaging the sup plies is not being followed this year, co-op managers announced, because it is thought more effi cient to let the individual student select the items he needs. Under this system the student selects the kind and amount, with in limits, of basic supplies needed for his particular course of study. The supplies are then charged to to him through his veterans card. screaming, “Don’t forget the credit line!” (Editor’s note: We sent Braun out a little later to shoot another committee and the last word we have of him is that he collapsed and had to be taken to the infirmary. Before lapsing into a coma, he ut tered the words—“Gawd, a NEW face!”) Stop that, \\ aldo—Mother gets a nickel back on the bottle.” * ROTC Cadets - Win New Rates Winter term non-commissioned " officer ratings for the first yeas advanced ROTC cadets were an- _ nounced yesterday by Colonel Frank R.
