UO Journalism
School Slipping,
Tugman Warns
By JIM WALLACE
Oregon’s journalism school is go
ing through a low period, said Wil
liam M. Tugman of the Register
Guard, because the people of the
state have not been told the real
situation concerning the school.
Tugman, in the closing address
of the Oregon Press conference,
said that the Oregon school will
successfully pass an accrediting
committee’s coming examination
but it will be because of its past
record.
Live on Laurels
He declared that the school can
not continue to live on this past
reputation and urged the assembled
publishers to take an active inter
est in the school. It is to the pub
lishers’ best interest, asserted Tug
man, to aid in a concerted effort to
improve it.
Of 125 schools that have ap
plied for accreditation, Tugman
said that all but 48 had been elim
inated by a preliminary survey. He
admitted that Oregon journalism
stood low among the 48 on the pre
liminary examination but declared
that the actual visit of the commit
tee this spring may boost the rat
ing considerably.
Tells Policies
The Eugene editor prefaced his
remarks by explaining the general
accreditation proceedure and poli
cies of the American council of
schools and departments of journal
ism, the group making the journal
ism school sttidy.
Most valuable feature of accred
itation, he declared, is that it will
prevent many tragedies along the
way by guiding students to the
best schools. Also, he said, by this
program an employer will know
the value of a graduate’s degree.
Class to See Movies
Color movies of Western Na
tional parks will be shown at the
regular meeting of the aNtural
History society Friday evening in
Room 207, Chapman hall. Profes
sor James C. Stovall, professor of
geography, will exhibit the films.
A half-hour business meeting at
7:30 p. rn. will precede the showing
of the movies.

World's Greatest Regional Network
i Reporter Discovers Miss Heidt
i Charmed by Her Audiences
By ANITA HOLMES
Vivacious, as advance reports
said, Winifred Heidt talked to re
porters about her career and per
sonal life while she ate late break
fast in the Osburn Hotel yesterday.
Last night the contralto sang a well
received concert in McArthur court.'
Now she is on her way to Chicago
for a two-week vacation.
Recalling her first concert season
four years ago, she said she really
“started at the bottom,” but admit
ted, “I have had good luck.” In
1942 she “threw her hat in the big
ring” and began singing opera that
has led to 200 performances of
“Carmen” and much operatic free
lancing.
In response to a questoin asked
by G. E. Gaylord, president of the
Eugene Civic Music association,
the contralto said she liked concert
work as well as opera. However,
radio singing does not appeal to
her because there is no reaction
from an audience.
Audience reactions are interest
ing, according to Miss Heidt. "Once
in a while you find one you would
like to wrap up in cellophane and
take along with you,” she said. She
also mentioned the audience with
"stage fright” that is afraid to re
pond to a performer,
Church soloing causes the only
"stage fright” Miss Heidt has ever
known. But she told of an experi
ence in Logan, Utah, where hoarse
ness affected her voice so the “tones
would not stay together.” It was
an “horrible feeling” and she stop
ped the concert after the second
number ,she said.
Caught by Cold
Another incident of the concert
circuit happened in “a typical
small Texas town.” She had plan
ned an entire outdoor concert, but
had no idea that blankets and fur
coats would be needed by the sec
ond half of the performance.
College audiences are “very ex
citing” to Miss Heidt. She sang
at Stephens college and plans to
sing “Carmen” and a concert at

vives the Times." “Red Army

the revival of French art and ar
checture after the occupation.

the famed chorus singing war
songs and traditional folk songs.
Some of the most famous Rus
Butler university this summer.
Future Booked
The future also holds perform
ances with the San Francisco Opera
company and 35 spring concerts.
The diamond ring that Miss
Heidt received in the Valentines
day mail will not affect these plans.
She and the "'well known tenor"
hope to continue their careers after
their marriage in the near future.
The attractive singer is an honor
ary member of Sigma Alpha Iota,
professional music sorority.
