Reviewer Finds Giannini Impressive
In Performance at Second Concert
Dusolina Giannini, throaty-
voiced dramatic soprano, programmed three dramatic arias and
added two more as encores at the
second University Symphony Orchestra concert of the season Sunday afternoon. The orchestra
opened with tbe popular Tschaikowsky "March Slav'- overture,
performed Moussorgsky's "Night
on Bald Mountain," and offered
Schumann's Third Symphony in
E. Flat Major, the "Rhenish," as
the meat of the concert.
Dr. Eckel Presents "Postwar Man For Asia" in IRC Talk
The color guard la composed of
___>*• Gibson, B. G. Davis, W. D. —   	
aenhan. and R. D. Chapman.—AS god-emperor   ideology   of Japan.
A world commonwealth of nations with regional divisions having the power to settle problems
peculiar to their areas, was suggested by Dr. Paul E. Eckel as the
basis of a basting pesce, when he
talked to members of the International Relations club Tuesdsy
night on "A Plan for Post-War
Security in Asia."
Explaining this new slant on
post-war association of nations.
Dr. Eckel presented as an example a proposed plan for regional
organization of Asia. He made
dear, however, that his plan^ or
any other plan, could not be a
success in tbe Far East until three
prerequisites had been satisfied.
Elimination  of   Jep   Ideoloay
First, Dr. Eckel declared, there
must   be   an  elimination   of  tbe
He compared this ideology to
Nazism, but showed how much
more integrated; it is in the life
of the Japanese ,>eople, having existed since 186!', than the comparatively recen'; Hitler theories.
He feels that Lhe Japanese sre
determined that the world will
never have peace until their emperor reigns ovur it. Regarding
this, he said:
"It is tbe one'binding force of
the nation. It. ia this concept
that must be uprooted."
The elimination of the divine
race and divine ruler ideology will
not be easy, but Dr. Eckel feels
that if Hirohito abdicates, aad his
son put on tbe throne with a liberal regency, it may be achieved
through education as it was created through education.
The     second    prerequisite     to
peace he suggested is the crushing of the military system of
Japan. The "ruthless efficiency"
of the Japanese military machine
makes this the toughest job.
"I don't expect any crack in
Japanese morale until they're battered to the ground," Dr. Eckel
declared. He based his opinion
on experiences he had while
teaching for six years (1929-35)
at the University of Commerce in
Kobe. Even at that early date be
witnessed army maneuvers in
which students were being taught
guerilla warfare in case of an invasion of the island.
Nationalistic movements in tbe
Orient have to be recognized and
[restricted if peace is to be found.
Dr.  Eckel  said, listing  his third
and laat prerequisite.
(Continued on Page 3)
Giannini was impressive at
times, especially in the round
clarity of her middle range, but
on, tbe outer fringes of her range,
both high and low, she seemed unable to rise above the orchestra.
It was impossible to tell whether
it was her fault or tbe orchestra's.
As a whole, tbe orchestra accompanied well, and Giannini sang
beautifully. However, in the "Con-
nais tu le pays" of Gounod, the
flute fumbled its important obligate, and tbe whole orchestra
followed suit.
"Ah Perfido" of Beethoven,
which was the only aria the soprano sang which was not extracted from an opera, was'snng with
drama and feeling, and which were
not covered by tbe orchestra but
three times, and those only briefly. The lyric recapitulation was
tbe high point of her afternoon's
singing. "Plus Grand Dans Son
Obscurite,' the least familiar of
her arias, was uninteresting. As
encores, Giannini gave her over-
interpretative reading of the "Habanera" from "Carmen," by
Bizet, and a Santuzza aria from
"Cavalleria Rusticana," by Mas-
eagni.
The Schumann piece-de-resistance was long, but exciting
through the five movements. The
Scherzo, lightest in vein, waa tbe
best received, but the first movement waa played with more feel-
■ ing for tbe true spirit of tbe nationalistic work. The ending of
