FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Cor. Bdwy. Sc High, Eugene Mars, Jupiter to Be Near Each Other This Weekend By J. HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, University of Oregon Mars and Jupiter appear very near each other in the sky this week-end. Such a condition oc curs every few years, and leads those romantically inclined to en thuse over the supposition that the red war god is again charging madly at the peace-loving old king of the gods. Granting this to be true, we have never seen these Martian gestures amount to any more than a bluff, for neither of the ancient deities has ever suf fered a scratch in these encoun ters. Not since 1937 have these plan ets appeared very near each other. Even then they were not quite so close together as now. The closest approach occurs at about our daybreak January 7. Czech Violinist To Be Guest Artist Fritz Neumann, Czcchoslovak lan violinist, will be guest artist with the University of Oregon svniDhonv orchestra wlipn its ond concert of the season is giv en in the school of music auditor ium on Tuesday, February 14, it was announced Saturday night by Rex Underwood, conductor. Neumann, who has studied in Prague, and in Switzerland with Fritz Busch, is a good friend of Eugene's well-known violinist, Frances Brockman. This will be one of his first concerts to be giv en since he came to the United States. The selection in which he will be featured is Tschaikowsky's violin concerto. The university orchestra's first concert of the year will be Tues day, January 16, in the music au ditorium. Included on the program will be a number or symphonic masterpieces that have proved popular with Eugene audiences during past years. Among these will be the overture to Glinka's "Russian and Ludmilla." Tschai kowsky's "Romeo and Juliet" fan tasy, Glazounow s "Marionettes," four movements from Massenet's "The Cid," Debussey's "Maid with the Flaxen Hair," Bach's "Prelude in E Major" and "Double Concerto for Two Violions." Numbers for the February 14 concert will be announced later. The planets will then be only slightly more than one degree apart, with Mars above Jupiter. But they will then be below the horizon for those of us on this side of the world. They will, how ever, be nearly as close the eve nings of January 6 and 7 and not far apart for several nights thereafter so will present a very interesting sight as the smaller red planet huddles near the bril liant yellow Jupiter. You can easly spot these plan ets by looking almost due south and quite high in the sky between 5 and 6 o'clock in the evening. They move westward as the night advances, and before midnight will dip beneath the horizon. It will be interesting to watch these worlds for a few weeks in order to note how rapidly Mars moves eastward from Jupiter. Al though they now are seen In the same part of the sky, yet actually they are very far from each other. Tonight Mars is 120,000,000 miles from us. Jupiter is four times as far back In space. Old-Time Concert Scheduled For Sunday The University of Oregon music school auditorium will take the place of the old-fashioned band stand-in-the-park as a setting on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock" when John Stehn will direct the university band In their annual free band concert. Included on the program will be a number of old favorites and several recent compositions writ-; ten by American composers. In cluded in the latter group will be the "Pavanne" by Morton Gould, a radio orchestra leader and arrang er who has scored a sensation with two American "Symphonettes." This Pavanne is from the second. MEETINGS TUESDAY SPRINGFIELD, Jan. 6.
