Opera Singer
To Appear Here
Blanche Thebom, mezzo-soprano
of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany, will appear in concert 8 p.m.
Thursday at McArthur Court. The
BLANCHE THEBOM
Eugene Civic Music Association is
sponsoring her appearance.
The brown-haired Swedish sing
er started her career 10 years ago,
giving up her Canton secretary’s
job to take her first music lesson.
Since then she has scored success
after success reaching the attention
of the Impresario S. Hurok within
two years, appearing at Manhat
tan’s Town Hall in January, 1944—
after three concert tours—and in
the Metropolitan Opera that same
year.
One of her greatest ovations was
given her by her mother country,
Sweden, when she sang at the
Royal Opera House in Stockholm,
in Saint-Saens’ “Samson and Deli
lah.” She received 45 curtain calls.
The manager of the Stockholm
opera then invited her to sing in
“Carmen.” She also sang the part
of Dorabella in Mozart’s “Cosi Fan
Tutte” at the famous Glyndebourne
Opera festival in England.
This year Miss Thebom will ap
pear in the role of “Eboli” in Ver
di’s “Don Carlos” at the Metropoli
tan, sing the solo part in Mahler’s
symphonic poem, “Das Lied von
der Erde” with the Chicago Symp
hony Orchestra, and sing in the role
of Klythemnestra in Strauss’s opera
“Elektra” with the San Francisco
Symphony Orchestra. She will end
her season as soloist for the second
year at the May Festival in Ann
Arbor, Mich.
Students will be admitted to the
concert upon presentation of their
student body cards. ^

Whole blood—350 pints of it for
the wounded in Korea—will be col

students and faculty members Mon

chapter of the American Red Cross.
The blood, which is for military
use only, will be received in the
Student Union, with two bloodmo

nurses on duty. The local chapter

receiving being conducted for five
hours, the donations will have to be
made at the rate of 80 every hour.
Age Range 18-60
Anyone at least 18 years of age
but not yet 60 may donate blood.
However, those under 21 must
have a signed release giving par

to this is married women, who do
not need parents' consent.
In order to prevent as many re

the majority of donors signed up to
actually be accepted, the Lane
County Red Cross chapter has
made the following requests:
Any person who has ever had
infectious jaundice will definitely
not be accepted, so such persons
are asked not to sign up.
Students and faculty meinbers
who have been inoculated for
typhoid or vaccinated within the
last month also will be rejected.

'Street Corner' Review
Sex Education Movie at Lane
Draws Large Throngs of Curious
By Don Smith
“Street Corner,” semi-education
al film at the Lane, is a sincere
and not too bad attempt at im
pressing the masses with the
necessity of “family relations”
(vulgarly termed sex education)
as a method of avoiding unhappy
sex experiences.
The show has an air of excite
ment about it in its pre-filmtime
advertising and write-ups—segre
gated audience, the registered nurse
in attendance, the hygienist who
will lecture, the provocative illus
trations accompanying the ads, all
lead many to expect something
other than what they get.
But few peope who pay their 70
cents admission to find out what’s
going on in the Lane will be dis
appointed. If not an entertaining
evening as some may have hoped,
it is at least an interesting exper
ience.
The show has been playing to
full houses. Women can get into
the picture at 2 and 7 o’clock
showings; men can see it at 9
o’clock.
The story is of a sweet, intelli
gent high school girl, Lois Marsh,
who had never been told about sex
by her parents. She has an affair
with the boy to whom she is en
gaged, and discovers after he has
left for college that she's going
to have a baby.
She can never get courage up to
tell her parents even that she is
engaged, since they consider her
still a little girl, but she does tell
her boyfriend that she’s going tc
be a mother. He gets killed in an
automobile accident when driving
back from college to marry her.
Lois is naturally worried and
confused; and finally gets reluct
ant advice from an older friend
who gives her money and the ad

“By the end of this month, we will have a University civil de
fense program so organized as to enable us to take action within
24 hours' notice if necessary," S. W. Little, head of the Univer
sity's defense program, and dean of the School of Architecture
and Allied Arts, declared Thursday.
The University is under state jurisdiction, and has established
its own civil defense program. However, Little said that it would
cooperate closely with the city
of P.ugenc.
Nurses’ Aides will he trained
by the Red Cross, and a motor
corps will he organized. Roth
divisions will consist largely of
faculty members, with some stu
dents participating.
To Name Officials
“Officials from the faculty in
charge of housing, hospitalization,
emergency building repair, food,
sanitation, and communications will
be named soon,’’ Dean Little said.
Certain buildings on the campus
offering most protection and ade
quate space will be designated as
atomic radiation shelters.
The Student Union has been
chosen by the county medical board
to serve as an auxiliary branch of
Sacred Heart hospital, and will be
supervised by Dr. Marion H. Miller,
assistant University physician.
UO to House Evacuees
Fraternities, sororities, dormitor
ies—all campus living organiza
tions will be used for housing
evacuees, as necessity demands. In
emergencies such as housing, the
University and city of Eugene will
exchange facilities,
"Heat, food, electricity, water-,
and other utilities will probably be
supplied by the physical plant,’’
added Dean Little.
A secretariat will be organized to
handle statistics. Tentative plans
call for the location of official gen
eral headquarters to operate from
the speech department, communi
cation facilities there being super
ior to those of other campus build
ings.
