'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.

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.”

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.

“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.
