L. E. Opp Presents Annual Concert Friday Morning

Friday morning at 11 :00 in the gymnasium the Montana State Col­lege orchestra and chorus will pre­sent their annual concert to stu­dents and faculty. Mr. L. E. Opp will direct both groups.

The tentative program includes two selections by the girls' chorus, "By the Bend of the River," by Edwards and "Stardust,° Carmich­eal. The chorus and orchestra will present a combined number, "Path Leading Down to the River," ar­ranged for chorus by Speinel and for orchestra and three trumpets by 0. D. Martin. The orchestra will play Brahm's "Hungarian Dance Number Six", Victor Her­bert's "Favorites," "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes," arranged by Spielek, and possibly "Variations on Pop Goes the Weasel," arranged by Leaillle,

Lou Howard and 50 members of the Montana State college concert band completed the second leg of their 1942 concert tour last week­end, playing concerts in Helena Sat­urday at 8 p. m. and in Great Falls Sunday at 3 p. m. They also sere­naded the Veterans' Home in Hel­ena.

Two weeks ago the band played in Col um bus and Billings. The next leg of the tour will include concerts at Anaconda April 11 and at Whitehall, April 12. The tour is split into week-end trips this year because of the war-time educational speedup which result­ed in the cancellation of the spring vacation period at Montana State College. This band has made 31 tours of the state during the spring vacation periods of other years.

At Great Falls, the Montana State College band played a por­tion of the concert with the Great Falls high school band under the direction of Clarence Boess. Vis­iting high school bands to the Great FalJs concert were from Cascade, Fort Benton, Conrad, Choteau and Belt.

In Helena, the Helena high school band also joined the Montana State College band in U,e concert, both directed by Robert Clark.

Lou Howard, whose band ca­reer in Montana stretches back to 1886 when he started playing at Dillon, has 76 musicians in his band this year. Because his collegians play massed band concerts at most stops this year, he has cut the concert band to less than 50 pieces. By staggering t he musi­cians, all 75 will play in the concerts this year.

BIDDLE CALLS FOR NOMINATIONS FOR ALL-SCHOOL ELECTIONS

c oo ee <. Well known as a 1ecturer, author

and teacher, Dr. Otis C. McCreery, dean of men at Washington State College, will be one of the featured speakers at the 1942 High School week to be held at Montana State College April 30, May 1 and 2, ac­cording to Merrill R. Good, general chafrman.

The story was a true-to-life one of the helter-skelter existence o! the people under uthe big top" in an American carnival and offered much intense entertainment to the audience.

A forceful and inspiring speaker with a keen understanding of youth. Dean McCreery spoke here for the first time at the 1941 High School week. Because he was so enthusiastically received by the more than 1,000 high school pupils from all parts of the state who heard him, he was asked to appear on the program again this year, Professor Good said.

Dean McCreery ,viU speak at the opening general assembly to be held in the college gymnasium Thursday evening. April 30th. His topic will be "Star Spangled Youth."

Prior to becoming dean of men at Washington State college, Dean McCreery was assistant dean of student affairs at the University of Minnesota and before that he was dean of men at Drake univer­sity. He r eceived his degree of bachelor of science, degree of mas­ter of arts, and his doctor of phil­osophy from the University of Minnesota.

J. B. Annin played in bis capac­ity as the "barker" and impetuous father splenclidly and gained both the sympathy and ire of the audi­ence. His outbursts of temper were typical of the picture we have of the behind-the-scenes ac­tion in a carnival.

In her role o! "Carrie," Mary Jean Pasley showed herself to be a fine actress, portraying the part of the fiery and discouraged car­nival woman with vivacious and convincing acting.

Bob Lipp as uSailor West," with his tattoos and jaunty air brought many laughs from the audience and

Strand Tells Why Students Should Stay In School

President A. L. Strand delivered a talk over KRBM Sunday night on the Legion Auxiliary radio pro­gram. Dr. Strand asked for un­derstanding consideration for those students who were staying in school in preference to entering the armed service immediately.

In his talk entitled Education and its Relation to the War, Dr. Strand pointed out that in a total war such as we are waging it is of paramount importance that an our potential strength be developed and fitted into the proper phase of our war effort. He was reminded of his experience in the last war when nil but one man in the senior class at MSC of which he was a member bad enlisted.

According to Dr. Strand we face a situation which calle for a dif­ferent type of action on the part of college students. The patriotic thing to do now is study harder and wait until the government ca1ls !or your services.

Dr. Strand pointed out the var­ious educational functions o! the college and showed how they fit very well with the need of our country in its war effort.

New pledges to Scabbard and B}ade, as announced at the dance, were Don Gumprecht, Bob Stacb­wick, Frank Iloward, Everett Shu­ey, Joe Pahl, Bill Leary, J ohnny Rousseau, Vearl Addy, Emmett Haugen, Don Shawhan, Dan Cox, Emil Kindschy, Otho Murray, Kent O'Kelly, and James Krall.

The Reason Why Four out of every ten college

students believe that the United Nations are fighting this war for the sn me reason usually given for fighting World War I-to preserve democracy, a national sampling of Student Opinion S11rveys of Amer­ica, Austin, Texas, shows.

Taken on college campuses all oYer the country, the poll reveals that 40 per cent of the students, a group more than twice as large as any other group giving a different answer, believe that World War II is being fought for the continuance of democracy or, as some put it, "for the Bill of Rights" or "for freedom and liberty." Eighteen per cent, the next largest group, think we are fighting primarily to defeat the Axis powers.

Without suggestiag any possible answers, interviewees were asked, 11What would you say we are fight­ing for in this war!" The com­plete results, sbowin in eight dif­ferent groupings o( answers, fol­low:

To preserve democracy ........... .40% To defeat the Axis ···--········ .... 18% For economic reason.is ........ . ... 10% Self-preservation ···--········-··· 9% For England ·····-····-··-·-·-··- ... 4 % Because of Pearl Harbor .. 4% For a lasting peace .. ... - ...... 5% Other reasons or no opinion .... 10%

Many students, especially those giving democracy as the reason for fighting, often qualified their answers with an uncertain u1 guess.'' or "I suppose that's it." As one student at Louisiana State university answered, "Oh, we're fighting to preaerve democracy, I guess."

Note that four per cent of those interviewed believe that we are fightin g Englnnd's war. 'fheir at­titude is similar to that of those who answered, "'Ve are fightinjl

Art Class Starts Phi Signw Murals

As evidenced by the scaffold blocking one staircase at the front entrance of Lewis Hall and the earnest students climbing on it, the Phi Sigma murals are coming to be a reality. Art students taking senior design are painting the mur­als, which will decorate two walls in the balls of the science build­ing.

Small preliminary ketches de­picting Montana in the Pleistocene age were made by these stu.dent.s and submitted to members of Phi Sigma. Marie Hashisaki's sketch was chosen, and the artists are at present outlining it on the space provided for it by the architects of the building.

This mural is being sponsor­ed and financed by Phi Sigma, biol­ogy professional. Two mo,vies have been given to raise funds for this project.

because of the Pearl Harbor attack; we were forced into it."

Reasons given the interviewers were varied. One girl al Stephens college in Missouri said frankly, "To save our ovln necks; that's why." A boy at another school said, uwe are fighting to finish what should have been done in the last war."

Over n hundred names of alumni in the armed services have been turned in to the Alumni office dur­ing the past week as a result of the campaign started by A. W. ., the Student Union nnd the Alumni of. lice to compile war records of 111.S .C. alumni.

Miss Betty Ann Hanle~·. chair­man of the A. W. S. defense com-mittee. is enclosing information blanks for the purpose of obtaining this type of information ,vith the letters concerning \V'omen's Day which A . W. S. will soon be send-ing to M. S. C.'s honor women. This week letters ·will also be sent from the Alumni office to each fraternity and sorority on the campus asking for t heir immediate cooperation in supplying informa­tion. A table ,vill be set up in the Student Union at noon We<!nes­day and all day Thursday so that everyone who knows of any M. S. C. Alum in the armed service may turn that information in there. Colonel Hea has supplied a list of the graduates with commissions from 1936 on, and Miss Hanley ex­pects to compile the rest of lhe list from the back issues of th• Montanan which are filed in tho library. This will give the com­mittee a complete list of men with reserve commissions. and it will be but a short time until the names of those on active duty will be available.

The excellent cooperation of the faculty during the past week makes it seem likely that the work will be well in hand by the 15th of April. Thal will mean that 111. S. C. will have a reasonably com­plete set of records for future use of the men who are serving the armed forces during the present emergency.

Mrs. John Green, cashier in the Union coffee shop, has been spend­ing her afternoons in the Alumni office compiling the information received so far.

Breeden Calls For Track.men

Cindermen will again be pound­ing the track at MSC after a layoff of three years according to Coach Brick Breeden. Wednesday, April 1, a ll potential material is asked to report to the tanbark for the organization of indoor work.

Drill work will be conducted in­doors for the purpose of condition­ing the men so the time required f or outdoor training will be cut to a minimum. The e..xact dates of competitive meets is indefinite and will depend on the weather conditions which prevail.

Weather permitting the Rocky Mountain Conference meet will be held here with May 15 as a tenta­tive date. Breeden is also attempt­ing to schedule a meet with Idaho Southern Branch.

The team offers openings for all positions as no veterans could have been de,·eloped in the past few years due to the layoff. Perform­ers who may be expected to com­pete on the basis of high school records and intramural work in­clude: Smith and Higgins who are pole vaulters, Will Jorgenson who did fine in the half mile with little training, Martin who is a broad jumper in addition to other talents, Smiley, Bruffey and Sweeney who are cross-country winners, Mizner who could be a decathalon man, and Stachwick who is n sprinter.

turned in one of the finest per­formances of the evening. More humor was furnished by "Hap Spissell," played by Tony Anton­ich. His chubby type of wise­cracking wit was another high point in the production.

The romantic leads, "Lou" nnd "Chris" were handled beautifully by Zona Gale Denton and Blnine Hoffman. These two played diffi­cult parts with ease and a rare naturalness.

All of the parts were well played and each one of them was indispensable to the success of the production as a whole. "The Bar­ker" was, without a doubt, one of the finest productions that we have seen. In it were mixed all the elements of life from strong drama to sheer humor.

Stachwick, Hall Are Honored By Basketball Team

Breaking precedent the Montana State basketba ll team for the first time in years elected a captain !or the ensuing year. At a meeting of the basket.ball team last week Bob Stachwick was elected by t he squad to act as permanent capt.a.in for next year.

Under the new system Stachwick will be permanent captain and Hall will be considered as having captained the team for the past year.
