Full House Claps Shaw's Musicians To Eight Encores Tho Robert Shaw Chorale and concert orchestra performed to a packed house at McArthur Court last night.

The Requiem Mass in D minor by Mozart occupied the first part of the program and was well re ceived. The later numbers. Brahms' "Liebesleider Walzer” and Ravel's "Trois Chansons’ were given ex planations by Mr. Shaw in person, and the concert became more and more informal as the evening wore on the planned program ended with Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess". The orchestra accompanying the singers was clear and gave evi dence of being a very professional group. The singers, true to Shaw's philosophy of what singing should be. were clear and precise in their diction, except when tho tempo was too fast.

Osgatlnrp has written for the Kmcruld, in connection with Armistice Day Sunday, the following reminiscences of how he learned of the signing of that Armistice.) * * id By Harland L. Osgatharp Thirty-three years :s n. long time, but I remember vividly my experiences before and at the time of the signing of the Armistice of World War I. With American troops again en gaged in battle—in Korea and looking back over world history that has transpired within the past ! three decades and three years, we are prone to wonder whether or not civilization has advanced or re treated. But let's leave all that to stu dents of the social sciences and recall what this University student was doing 33 years ago when the Armistice was first celebrated. If you will take a good map of . the Benelux countries (Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg) . and look along the Lys river about 10 or 12 miles south of Ghent, the • capital of Belgium, you will see a ittle town called Dienze. (Ameri ^ can soldiers strong on phonetics | pronounced it Dinezy.) | The 37th, or Buckeye, Division * had its headquarters in Deinze in 1918. Headquarters of the 148 ABOUT THE AUTHOR... A 64-year-old veteran of two world wars with a college degree, white-haired Harland L. Osgatharp has returned to college as a graduate student in geology at the University of Oregon. Osgatharp, who graduated from Oakland City College, a small Baptist collccg in Oakland City. Indiana, in 1927, is attending Ore gon on the O.I. Bid of Bights. He is taking courses in geology, geography, chemistry and Russian, 16 hours in all. He served as a private in the 37th Division of the United States army in World War I. a member of the 118th Field Hospital Com pany which was stationed at Deinze, Belgium, when the Armistice was signed.. Discharged in 1919, Osgatharp re-enlisted in the army in January of 1942, serving as a corporal until July 8, 1950. During World War II he served in North Africa, and Italy, and after the war in Hawaii and Japan. In 1940, he had come to Eugene for the first time. While on the campus, he said, he was fascinated by the replica of the Willamette Meteorite displayed on the west porch of McClure hall, the original of which was found near Oregon City in 1902. "I knew then that I wanted to come to this University," lie said. 1 have to leave now, he stated at the close of the interview. "I've got a tough 17 pages of French translation to do for my course in Geography of Europe. And he picked up his papers and left for the library. Field Hospital company, attached to the 37th Division, was in a large church and a surrounding monas tery. This monastery had been used by the Germans as a bar racks. The 148th Field Hospital Com pany used the church for both a receiving ward and an operating l oom. Parts of the monastery were used for wards and for barracks. We went into Deinze on the morning of Nov. 9, 1918. When we alighted from our Packard trucks, were were told by some of the talkative citizens that the war was going to end in two days, but we were skeptical. On the next day, Nov. 10, we re ceived as patients some men who were driving ambulances on the highway being shelled by the Ger mans. “Don't tell me there is go ing to be peace tomorrow," said an ambulance driver whose face was bleeding from shrapnel. On the morning of Nov. 11 a bar rage was put up so near our hos pital that it was impossible to stay asleep. It lasted long enough to warrant our getting up to go to breakfast. Skepticism regarding peace was rife, as we ate. One of my duties at that time was cleaning up the receiving ward and making it ready for the pa tients. When that task was done, everything semed so quiet after the heavy barrage that X walked down the main street of Deinze. and soon I noticed a crowd of ex cited citizens milling around a bul letin board. Communique Causes Excitement A communique in French was the cause of the excitement. I copied it down and took it to the receiving ward, where an officer was on duty who could lead French. First he read it through in French, then, turning to all of us, he said: “Well, boys, this means we are going to quit fighting at 11 o'clock this morning." Then, as an afterthought, he said, “If you don't mind I would like to keep this copy of the com munique.’’ The communique was a copy of i one that French Madshal Ferdin-1 and Foch, supreme commander of all the Allied arimes, had issued, j bringing World War I to an end. ! "People are critical," Hampton saicT'on a subject they know ve, yr little about." Phone Hearing Closed A brief bombshell at the meet ing was the revelation that no stu dents, cither from Oregon or OSCT, would be able to attend the tele phone hearing. A letter from OSC* President Donn Black read by Eill Carey, ASUO president, said Gov ernor Douglas McKay “is going to take our stand in this matter." The hearing will take place between Nov. 10 and 15. With a vivacity which seemed to characterize the whole meeting, the senate unanimously passed a resolution to "urge faculty assist ance in promoting attendance in the incllectual program offered by assemblies." The resolution, which will be transmitted by E. G. Ebbig bausen, associate professor of physics, to the faculty, culminated discussion of poor student assem bly attendance. Giles Charges Preferring to the SU, Giles said, "It’s the most fouled up. ineffec tual organiaztion of the campus. Anything anybody suggests they fthe SU Board i don't accept. Pub lic relations are lousy. Publicity is lousy.” He also indicated the food was, or had been, not always good. Hampton countered saying the charges by Giles "were not the products of mature thinking.” The Union ar.d soda bar. he said were not perfect but “very effective and efficient. The time for criticism of thi snature (Giles) would come when it was 10 or 20 years old. Soda Bar Suggestions Two suggestions were made by Cece Daniels and Mike Lally for Hampton to carry back to the SU board. They were (1) to reinstate th morning "coffee table" and i2) work out some kind of “stalls" so people would line up for services A proposal to give entertainment chairman Gerry Pearson a cabinet seat as a non-elective member was defeated. One preliminary report was given on the Mil race investigation, and ASUO President Bill Carey appointed seven senate membeis to look into the proposed honor system. Ten Reports Heard Ten leports in all were heard. Athletic chairman Jack Smith's proposal, passed with IS affirma tive votes, was called back when senators realized that 19 votes were needed to constitute three fourths of the membership. A sec ond ovte failed by three. 16 to 3 for the proposed change. Smith had asked that the sec tions referring to the rally board be struck from his designated du ties, stating the board could more efeetively report to the president directly. Pigger's Guide Almost Finished The Pigger's Guide, campus stu dent directory, will be ready for publication soon, Editor Pat Cheat stated Thursday afternoon. "It’s almost completed except for the press run,” Miss Choat stated. According to Miss Choat, the 1951-52 guide will have two added features, an index of its own sec tions and an index of advertisers.
