Large Chorus And Orchestra In Performance Presentation Will Be Held Sunday Night In McArthur Court A production of tremendous size and scope—Handel’s ora torio “The Messiah”—will be presented in McArthur court at. 8 Sunday evening under the di rection of Dean Theodore Kratt of the music school. Dean Kratt will direct the myriad voices of choral union and the or chestra through a program as vari ed and complex as is possible to pre sent in one evening. “The Messiah” is a traditional Christmas work, having in its pas sages part of the spirit and elatioa of the holiday season. Included in the work is the “Hellelujah Chor us,” during which the audience us ually stands. Arrangements for the production are under the direction of the Uni versity religious council, with Lou Weston as general chairman. There will be no admission charge for the event. Sunday night’s presentation will include a number of soloists who are being given special training by the music school. However, the choral union at large consists of Univer sity students who were enrolled with no other requirement than a willingness to sing. Dean Kratt last presented the oratorio in 1941, when he led a 600 voice chorus. A choral production, of such scope has not been present ed on the Eugene campus since then. Sponsored by both the religious council and the music school, "The Messiah” has been in planning pro cess for approximtely p. year. Chor al union rehearsals began this fall, continuing throughout the term. "Everyone should take his op portunity of seeing the oratorio,” states Miss Weston. "There is a possibility that it will not be pro duced again on the campus for sev eral years. Students will be impres sed not only by the music itself but by the size of the production.” Interviewer Shows Gals Haven't Upturned Nose By HAL COLEMAN Are Oregon’s co-eds as snooty as the recent deluge of letters to the Emerald indicates? I didn’t think so and set out with my own method of finding out. The plan was to take off across the campus greeting every female I met and noting her re actions. I had a sneaking hunch that gals would try to be friend ly if given half a chance and if you had cause for complaint it was probably your own darned fault. I figure that if they’ll speak to me they’ll speak to anybody and since none of the subjects knew they were being tested I consider the poll completely val id. 0 o ° Altogether I encoyntered 37 women and didn't find a single snob. Here’s what happened: The first girl I spied was a redhead coming out of Friendly hall. This seemed like an ideal setting so I caught her eye and, sauntering up like a long-lost brother, let loose with a casual hello. She turned out to be my sister so I discounted her. In my survey, as in most contests, rela tives can't participate. (Besides, she snubbed me.) I counted the next greeting double, however. The two smooth looking blondes hesitated a mo ment after my recognition, looked at each other questioningly, and then smiled. (Now that I think about it they might have been laughing.) The first answered with a su gary “Hellooo" and the other, ap parently not wanting to be out done, gushed, “Well, hellloooo there.” I looked back after I had gone a few steps past them and our eyes met. I smiled sheepishly and pretended to be looking for something I had dropped. This was working out alhiost too well so I decided to have a little fun. The next co-ed coming down the sidewalk was cute as a bug’s ear so I changed my salu tation slightly. “Yi!” says I. Without looking up she mut tered something that sounded like "Hellno.” After that I tried “Pie,” “Sigh,” “Die,” “Mellow,” “Yellow,” and “Jello” without a failure. By the time I was halfway across the quad I had a page and a half of entries in my scorebook. I was intent on chalking up my latest success when I felt a hand on my arm. I looked up and saw a trim little brunette in a huge coat smiling at me. "What’s the matter, aren’t ya gonna speak to me?” she asked in a low, sexy voice. I did a retake on her and tried to figure out where in heck I could have met her. She didn’t even look familiar. Party? Rally? Maybe in some class ? She could n't be mistaking me for someone else- nobody else in the world looks like me! "And after you gave me that line at dessert about being sure to say hello to you,” she purred. “If you aren’t nicer I’m liable not to go to the party with you.” "Gee, I'm serry, Honey,” I gulped, trying to look unconcerned, “I’m late to class—I'll call you.” Right there the survey ended. As soon as I find out who the doll is my tabulations will be com plete.
