St. Olaf Choir
Program Near
f
January 30 Appearance
Awaited On Campus
America's greatest collegiate
singing organization, the St. Olaf
Choir of Northfiold, Minn, will
appear here at McArthur court on
Tuesday evening, January 30, as
the fourth feature of the associ
ated students' 1038-40 "Greater
Artist" series.
The sixty-voice A Capclla choir,
under the direction of Dr. Melius
Christiansen, will leave Its campus
this week end for a month's tour
of the midwest and Pacific coast.
This will bo Its first appearance
in Eugene.
Membership In the choir at St.
Olaf college is a great, if not
greater honor than a position on
the lending athletic teams at most
American schools. Students are
attracted from all sections ot the
nation to try for places on the
choir.
Herman Dcvrles, writing In the
Chicago American last year, de
clared that "The St. Olaf choir
may change its vestments and
personnel from time to time, but
it ever remains 'The Great Mixed
Choir' of the decade. The virtues
of the St. Olafians are too well
known to dwell upon anew they
stand unrivaled in a field where
choral bodies arc legion."
Tickets for the Eugene appear
ance of the choir will be placed on
sale Monday at the associated stu
dent ticket office in McArthur
court.

L. restaurant employees' union
announced Saturday that It would
extend fraternal greetings to the
tale C. I. O. convention, to be
held in Eugene February 10 and
11, through the convention's of
ficial program.
"We have always found that the
C. I. O. respects and supports our
fhop-cards," Gertrude Kay, Al
liance business agent, said. "This
local has never favored the split
in labor's ranks, and on several
occasions we have let the official
dom of both A. F. of L., and C. I.
O. know that we would like to sec
labor re-unlled."
Last January the Eugene Culin

"labor unity chain letter," In
which each local wrote ten letters
urging the A. F. of L., and C. I.
O., to get together. Miss Kay said
the Alliance's greeting to the C. I.
O. convention cnrrled with It the
hope that there would soon he
only one milled labor movement

Professor Cornish Pays
Because Coincidence
Plays Trick On Him
It was only circumstantial evl
dence, but it convicted an inno
cent man.
N, H. Cornish, professor of busi-
ness administration at the Uni
versity of Oregon, received notice
from the city of Eugene that he
had committed an overtime park
ing offense. He didn't think he was
guilty but paid the fine anyway.
Search into records revealed this
story: The ticket was issued to a
Chevrolet bearing license number,
6-566. Notice was sent to Profes
sor Cornish whose license number
was 6-566, but he had a Dodge.
The rub was that the guilty
6-566 was a 1030 number. The
professor's number was from 1040
plates.
Police Judge Cal Bryan said the
council would take action Monday
to return the dollar fine. The real
overtime parker was Ole F. Chris-
tensen, Rt. 4, Eugene.
