Prepare 'Messiah' Musical University religious council anc> the school of music will present the 500 voices of UO’s choral union and the 70-piece University symphony in a production of Handel’s “Mes siah” at McArthur court, Decem ber 5. Termed as “the most spectacular musical production of the year,” Handel’s oratorio will bring to Ore gon one of the greatest Christmas traditioits as a beginning for the Yuletide season. Researsals are go ing on at the present time under Dean Theodore Kratt of the music school, who will also direct the final presentation. Soloists for the choral part of the production, announced by Kratt, are Virginia Walker, Claire Lewis, Dorothy Gangnath, Lucile Olson, Elizabeth Nelson, James Kays, Lowell Chase, Robert Rob erts, Phillip Green, and Wayne Sherwood. They will be given spe cial instruction by their vocal teachers at the music school. Plans for the event have been in progress nearly a year, but be cause of the enormity of the pro ject, the alloted time has proved only sufficient. The orchestra and choral union have been in rehear sal since the beginning of fall term. The religious council, as co sponsor of the oratorio, will han dle McArthur court arrangements and publicity. Oregon students will be admitted by student cards; how ever, there is no admission charge to either students or townspeople. Irishmen After Northwestern SOUTH BEND, Iud„ Nov. 12 — (AP)— Notre Dame hopes to defeat Northwestern today in the nation’s top football game for three power ful aims: To gain enough prestige to take first place from Michigan in the AP national rankings; to win its 20th consecutive victory and equal the immortal Knute Rockne’s record; and to end relations with another old rival on a note of triumph. The experts favor Notre Dame by two touchdowns. Despite threat ening weather, every one of the 59, 000 seats in the stadium here is sold, and thousands of fans are clamoring in vain to get in. Michigan and Notre Dame have alternated in top place in the week ly voting of sports observers. This week, Michigan led by 1,836 points to 1,775, although Notre Dame had 80 first place votes to 77 for Michi gan. The two arch rivals do not meet. Michigan beat Northwestern 28-0 and this score will be kept firmly in mind by Notre Dame. If Notre Dame wins, Coach Frank Leahy will match the record of Rockne. In 1929 and 1930, Notre Dame, playing the last seasons uh der Rockne, took 19 in a row, won the opener against Indiana in 1930, was held to a scoreless tie by North western, and continued to 26 games without defeat before losing to Southern California. The current string*2—which in cludes the scoreless tie with Army in 1946 can also reach 26 without defeat if Northwestern is hurdled. Where corn was grown three years in succession on a pine per cent slope, 37,320 pounds of soil an acre was lost annually. From a bluegrass sod the annual loss was only 120 pounds an acre. Realistic*Stage Setting Planned As Workshop Prepares Play Stage setting is now undergoing construction in the University the ater workshop for the December 3 opening of Richard Sheridan’s res toration period comedy, “School for Scandal.” The play was first pre sented around 1780 in Drury Lane and was a great favorite with aris tocratic audiences of the time. “We are trying as much as posi ble to produce a setting which will resemble the Drury Lane theater,” William E. Schlosser, technical di rector and set designer of the play, said Friday. “The acting will be done in the style of the restoration l with scenery to match. Much re search has been done on the design of the set,” he added. New Feature An outstanding feature of the Drury Lane settings was the paint ing of furniture, pictures, and doors right on the walls of the flats. Stevedores Walkout (Continued from page one) already had been affected by the strike. Ryan said: “The president will have to get into this thing.” Ryan told a news conference he and his negotiating committee had expected to receive an appeal from Washington requesting a 15-or 20 day back-to-work period while a board was formed with power to recommend solutions to the dis pute. He added, however: “Our men are not in the mood to go back to work for 20 days.” Announcement of the rejection of the wage settlement by the East Coast longshoremen followed short ly an order by the association of American railroads., halting., ship ment to New York and Boston of nearly all freight for export. The embargo becomes effective tomorrow. Freight for export from those ports will not be accepted by the railroads unless it is consigned to the United State armed forces and comes within certain exceptions from the embargo order. Ryan did not give the total fig ure of the longshoremen’s vote but said it was “almost unanimous.” Music by Jimmy Zito (Continued, from page one) for men, and short silks, for women. Flowers are not in order. The pre-Whiskerino week has been an active one, and one well worth taking a final look at. It fea tured the loudest flying speeches yet attempted, punishment of violators and some hair-breadth escapes, plus a final uprising of the downtrodden which ended with High Sheriff Ed Artzt in the Fenton hall fishpond, wallowing in the wake of numerous hapless violators of the beard-grow ing edict. Flying speeches at the women's houses featured loud gunplay and harmonious guitar - accompanied music. Everyone Loves FLOWERS whatever the | occasion flowers are most acceptable Waynes Flowers ; S49 E 13th Phone 7172 “We’re carrying this idea out, ex cept for the furniture part,” Schlos ser said. The theater workshop group is building authentic furni ture as used in the period. It in cludes a mixture of Chippendale and Adams style pieces. Restora tion fashion, the furniture will be changed right in front of the audi ence. The authenticity of the set will include even “candle-snuffers,” who used to light or snuff candles as needed for lighting effects. Can dles were the forerunners of mod ern footlights. Another feature in cludes the use of sliding panels which were popular in the restora tion period home. Four Sets Four different sets are being constructed for the play, involving “highly detailed” work, Schlosser said. Productions of “School for Scan dal” are to be presented December 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Direction is by Mrs. Ottilie T. Seybolt with Mary Ellen McKay assisting. The play is part of the Greater Drama pro ductions of the University theater, of which there are three a season. YWGroup Meet Set Thursday Plans are progressing at the YWCA for the open membership meeting Thursday night from 6:30 to 7:30 at the Gerlinger alumni room.
