NUMBER 47
Flute Solo
Applauded
At Concert
By Bob Funk
(Emerald Staff Reporter)
First fall concert of the UO
symphony orchestra, held Wed
nesday night, proved routine
• with one exception: Albert
Marshall, flutist, who showed
_ no uncertain skill as soloist in
“Suite for Flute and Strings”
by Telemann.
Conducted by Dr. Edmond
Cykler, the orchestra gave an
• impressive display of speed and vol
ume through a program including
“Overture from Allegro” from La
Sultain Suite by Couperin; Suite in
- D Major, by Bach; Selemann’s
“Suite for Flute and Strings”; and
Mozart's Symphony in D Major.
A certain lack of sublety and var
• iation marred the program, par
ticularly in the well-known “air”
from the Bach suite. However, sev
eral of the players displayed tech
nical skill, which might have shown
- to better advantage under more in
spired direction.
Marshall’s solo brought the first
real applause of the evening from
the audience. His piaying, although
• necessarily lacking maturity be
cause of his years, was technically
impressive and promising in all
1 other respects.
The string selection of the orch
- estra gave a creditable performance
as a whole; however, a brass-sec
" tion-gone-wild distributed the bal
ance and gave the evening a com
petitive spirit.

Worm's Eye View-Student Cut-Ups
By Mac Epley
The sidewalks are pretty • slick
these mornings, with the wet leave’s
and mud washed messily across the
usually clean footpaths. And among
that slush its not hard to find Annie.
Now Annie (her real name is
Annelida Oligochaeta Lumbicus) is
not a student here at the Universi
ty. She spends much of her time
helping fishermen lure trout. She
hangs from the tin lids of dented
rusty cans and awaits her return at
the hook. Annie is a worm.
But here at the University she
serves as a model for those ardent
young dissectionists in the biology
labs.
Let’s look into a day with little
Annie in Deady Hall.
The students do not particularly
love Annie’s anatomy. When they
first meet her in the lab she has
spent quite a while bathing in for
maldehyde. So they immunize
themselves against possible inter
nal reactions by first drawing pic
tures of her. ..After a while things
aren’t quite as repulsive as they
might have been at first.
One student prepares to make the
nitial incision with the usual labors,
tory tools. He pulls at the hide with
a dull scalpel while the lab instruc
tor hovers behind dropping little
constructive remarks here and
there.
“By jove,” says the amazed
student when he has successfully
ripped a path to the innards. “There
is more here than just meets the
eye. “Gad”.
And truly enough there they are,
intestines, glands, organs, almost
everything that a human has.
“See,” points the instructor, “see
the gizzard, and the esophagus, and
the crop . ,
A short grunt from the pale-eyed
girt across the lab table and she
heads for the door.
“And five hearts!” That lab in
structor sure knows his stuff.
Annie is stretched out, her hide
(“cuticle!” shouts the assistant) is
stretched out in a dissecting pan
and pinned back to a tarry substan
ce in the bottom. Our student
searches for the biological elements
called for in the lab manual.
The girl down the table hacks at
the few remaining hunks of Annie
in her tray.
‘•Where's that blasted calicifer
ous gland?" she screams wildly.
Our faithful student still dili
gently engrossed in the anatomy of
Annie’s . . . ahem . . . guts . . . finds
the brain, which is of such magni
i tude that he is hardly aware that
j he has found it. He picks at it with
j the long-needled instrument used
| for such things, and wondeis what
Annie eouid ever think of.
Time is growing short now. Our
Student hurriedly picks the pins
from the cuticle and wraps Annie’s
torn and battered form in a wet
towel. He carefully replaces his in
struments in their case, arid
straightens his notes.
The sidewalks are pretty slick
these mornings, and now and then
you see our student picking his way
carefully through the slushy wet
leaves and the mud that has been
washed messily across the side
walks. But if you look closely, you’ll
see our student carefully avoiding
Annie whenever she happens to be
wriggling helplessly across the con
crete.
Leniency Asked
For Japanese
War Criminals
TOKYO, Nov. 18—(AP)—All of
Japan’s top 25 war criminals are
expected tomorrow to ask Gen.
Douglas MacArthur for some form
of leniency.
American defense attorneys have
indicated they will offer petitions
in the cases of each, even though
some have professed not to want
clemency.
The 25 were convicted and sen
tenced last Friday. Tomorrow is
the deadline set by MacArthur for
petitions in their behalf. On Mon
day MacArthur has invited repre
sentatives of the 11 nations that
made up the international war
crimes tribunal to meet with him
to consider the court's judgment.
The war criminals were indicted
nearly two years ago by the inter
national war crimes tribunal in To
kyo.

'Locker' System
Gets Heave-Ho
By Hooch Board
PORTLAND^Nov. 18 — (API —
The master locker system—under
which private clubs may sell liquor
to their members—was thrown out
by the state liquor control commis
sion today as illegal.
The commission decided it lacked
authority for such a system, and
ordered the 30 Oregon clubs with
master locker permits to stop sell
ing liquor within 90 days. That
time of grace was allowed to enable
the clubs to sell stocks already on
hand.
Under the system, the clubs
bought cases of liquor from the
commission and then resold indi
vidual bottles to members at com
mission rates, plus a nominal hand
ling charge.
Admiral Thomas L. Catch, new
commissioner from Salem, said the
state attorney-general had ruled
that the present law does not auth
orize master lockers even though
they have been used for years.

Amphib
Pageant
Success
The Amphibian pageant went
over with a big splash.
The solos, duets, and trios
were perhaps the most impres
sive numbers in Greek Phan
isy" Wednesday and Thurs
day nights, but the numbers
which included more swimmers
were also received with muen en
thusiasm by those in the jam
packed stands.
Harriet Minot, in her “Dance
of the Queen,’’ received many ova
tions as she demonstrated bal
let leg twirls and other dance
forms which she learned in aquat
ic school. Her solo started with
a sudden high dive into the midst
of the dolphining “Mermaids” and
climaxed as she was surrounded
completely by her court.
Joan Carr, who has had expe
rience surf swimming off the Car
mel beach in California and in
competition swimming in Mon
terey, should receive special rec
ognition for her “Phanton of
Jealousy” in which she used
“kips” or back dolphins. Amaz
ing timing was shown when she
came to the surface on each dra
matic note of “Jealousy.”
“Duet of the Devils” by Betsy
Moffitt and Janet Harris includ
ed remarkable playful grimaces
and gestures to the tune of the
fast “Malaguena,” and “Frolick
ing Fishes” with Diane Hoeck,
Dixon Sheldon, and Jo Ann Skor
dahl included excellent side
stroke waltzing.
Participants in the three-act
production, which was directed
by Jeannette Masilionis, also in
cluded Betsy Moffitt, Louis Has
trup, Pat HonI, Coralie Thomp
son, Cathrine Vilas, Joy Dean,
Joanne Gilmore, Barbara Ebeling,
Bridelia Ball, Adeline Erlick, Pat
Nielson, Pat Rilance, Nancy
Wright, Pat Mounts, and Ruth
Watts.
This was the sixth annual presen
tation of the pageant. The first
pageant in 1943 was held in the
Millrace.
CBS Puts NBC on Run
In 'Battle for Benny'
NEW YORK, Nov. 18—(AP) —
The “Battle for Benny’’ was re
ported today to be all over but
the shouting—and signing—with
the Columbia Broadcasting system
apparently the winner.
Under the deal, it is understood
CBS will “buy” Radio Comedian
Jack Benny as a business in a
transaction similar to the one
through which it got Amos 'n Andy
away from the National Broad
casting company earlier this year.
NBC, over whose network Ben
ny now broadcasts, reported it had
ended negotiations looking to
toward a similar deal with the
comedian. This was a complete re
versal of the situation of one week
ago when NBC appeared to have
won out over CBS which then had
dropped out of the negotiation but
later got back in.
CBS declined to comment on the
progress of the negotiations with
Benny but neither did it deny trade
reports that they were near con
clusion.
The deal is said to involve Ben
ny’s Amusement Enterprise, Inc.,
which also controls the personal
management of Phil Harris and
Jack Parr. The firm also is en
gaged in movie and television ac
tivities, and these presumably
would be involved in the deal with
CBS.
Benny’s current contract to
broadcast under the sponsorship of
the American Tobacco company.
This season would not be affected,
and it would be up to the sponsor
as to whether to switch him to
CBS while the contract is in effect.
