Magazine Presents Training-Camp Life; ‘Daily Braack’ Included
The final issue of this semester’s Wampus will appear on campus at 9:50 a.m. today in the form of a military dispatch, staff members reported yesterday.
“In view of the times and the general interest in the draft and conscription, we decided to reflect as much of the spirit as possible,” Editor Dick Mulcahy remarked. “DAILY BRAACK”
He said that a portion of the magazine, appearing as an excerpt from a training-camp daily, will give the reader an insight as to first impressions and reactions of a newly selected draftee. Named “The Daily Braack,” the mythical publication is supposed to have been edited at Fort Ord by a group of SC’s selective service victims.
Included are several articles dealing with governmental reorganization of the campus for purposes of national defense. “Releases” from the nation's capital define trench boundaries destined to extend from the Physical Education building to Mudd hall, and other articles describe the establishment of a cavalry unit.
'GLASS HOUSE”
“The Glass House” will throw a few more gossip stones, regardless of the consequences. Mulcahy said, and added that material under that heading was acquired amid threats of persecution.
Several pages of jokes, the “Juke Box Jump,” “Yowlings,” and “Girl of the Month” will provide other feature material. “It Was Worth It” is an article covering the recent all-U production, “The American Way,” in which the author offers criticism and remark concerning the show.

String Trio Will Play With Coolidge Quartet
Tonight's concert of the Coolidge foundation's Brahms chamber mu-! sic series will mark the first joint appearance of both the Coolidge string quartet and the Brosa-Evans-Johansen trio with Thomas Petre.
The Coolidge quartet will present the Quintet in F-major for Two Violins. Two Violas, and Cello, Op. 88, assisted by Petre; and the Sextet in G-major for Two Violins, Two Violas, and Two Cellos, with the additional cello and viola played by C. Warwick Evans and Petre.
The Brosa-Evans-Johansen trio and Petre will offer the Quartet in A-major for Violin, Viola, Cello, and Piano, Op. 26.
One critic, Niemann, was so taken with the F-major Quintet that he called the last movement, the fugue, “the crown of the work, joyous, wild, excited, and full of Dionysian ecstasy, a wild transport of exultation.”
Opinions on this quintet are so varied, however, that another writer, Specht, could only say, “Though vigorous, it no longer
speaks of emotions, but only shows the composers’ pleasure in a contrapuntal theme, reminding one of an exercise.”
“Fruhlingsquintet” or “Spring” Quintet is a nickname by which this work has come to be known. Brahms wrote it in celebration of a friend’s engagement of marriage. Upon hearing the A-major Quartet, Clara Schumann com mented in a letter to Brahms, “One only gets to like it after he’s heard it several times.” Later on she wrote, “I’m fascinated with it.” Hanslick, a Viennese critic whose tastes were rather superficial, remarked of the same quartet that “its dry. fla* themes were not musically important.” Brahms once said of Hanslick, “He likes his Bach condensed—as Offenbach.”
Friday evening Gunnar Johansen, C. Warwick Evans, and Antonio Brosa will play the Cello and Piano Sonata, Op. 99, the Violin and Piano Sonata, Op. 108, and the Trio in C-minor, Op. 101. The Brahms cycle will close next Monday evening with the Piano Quartet in G-minor, the Horn Trio, and the F-minor Piano Quintet.

FDR to Change Holiday Again
WASHINGTON, May 20— (U.E)— President Roosevelt told his press conference today that in 1942 Thanksgiving day goes back to its traditional date—the last Thursday in November.
Mr. Roosevelt instituted the early celebration in 1939 at the request of retail merchants who said Thanksgiving and Christmas came too close together.
But, he said today, surveys by the commerce department and the U. S. conference of mayors over a lon^ period have shown that most retailers agreed that the early celebration didn’t make much difference. So he decided to revert to tradition.
Governors of 18 states refused to follow Mr. Roosevelt's lead last year and the year before. Most of them were Republicans.
