She was discovered on board ship on her way to visit her folks’ homeland, Sweden. Marian Ander son’s former accompanist heard her and started her on her way to fame by praising her voice and sending her to a voice teacher. Miss Thebom has made a great many recordings, including Tris tan and Isolde’s “Einsam Wachend in Der Nacht (Lonely Watch I Here Tonight),” “Ezrahlund Dor Waltraute” from Die Gotterdam” merung, the “Magnificant by Bach, Schumann’s Songs, Henry Purcell’s “I Attempt from Love’s Sickness to Fly” (Lyrics by John Milton) and Ravel’s “Vocalise” and "David Charmant Oiscau” from La Perle du Bresil. Following is her program for tonight: I Hear Me, Ye Winds and Waves George Frederick Handel Let Me Not Wander Unseen— George Frederick Handel Arioso: Dank sei dir, Herr— George Frederick Handel II Melancholic Robert Schumann Lieb der Brant No. I—Robert Schumann Lieb der Braut No. II—-Robert Schumann Er ist’s—Robert Schumann Der Himmel hat Cine Traene geweint—Robert Schumann Lust der Sturmnacht—Robert Schumann III Aria of Abigail from Nabucco— Verdi IV O Never Sing To Me Again— Rachmanioff Lilacs—Rachmanioff So Weep the Waves—Rachmani off How Long Aga—Rachmaninoff V Love in the Dictionary—Celius Dougherty Loveliest of Trees—Celius Dougherty Declaration of Independence— Celius Dougherty Song for Autumn—Celius Dougherty Hawk Sees Less Draft Deferment in Future Only men engaged in courses leading to the professions of medi cine or dentistry, sophomores who are accepted for advanced reserve officer training this spring, and students enrolled in the National Guard and other reserve programs are likely to be deferred from the draft at the end of the academic year, Ray Hawk, director of men's affairs, reported Wednesday. Hawk explained that although there are many opinions among legislators and educators regard ing the conscription of students, nothing definite has been announc ed. Age Drop Expected It is expected that Congress will find it necessary to lower the draft age to 18 and to extend the period of service from the present 21 months to 24 or even 27 months, Hawk said. These measures may be taken in order to maintain the needed manpower pool. Legislation still in the talking stage might enable some students of draft age and not in the pre viously listed categories to remain in school, Hawk said. Deferment Tests Possibility It is possible that a testing sys tem will be established which will determine student abilities as a bass for deferment. Hawk pointed out that this plan would differ from that employed during the past war, in which students were deferred according to their majors j and not because of particular abili ties in their chosen fields. “Where the line will be drawn under such a program no one can say,” Hawk added. Present plans call for spring registration of pre-medical and pre-dentistry students for provi sional admittance to medical schools at a future date, Hawk stated. In some cases the actual date of entry into medical school might be three or four years hence. This provisional admittance will be based upon tests, grade point averages, and recommendations of instructors. Athletic Office To Give Cards Traditional s ty I e athletic cards for winter term will be issued beginning Monday at the athletic business office in Mc Arthur Court. Ticket Manager Darrell Rob inson emphasized that the cards will be necessary for admittance to the Oregon-Idaho basketball series next weekend.

Three men will share a double room, while two men will occupy the single rooms. Special chairs and desks have been placed in the rooms to facilitate studying.
