HEAL ART
Through the efforts of Mu Phi Ep
silon, Miss Tina Lerner, the world re
nowned Russian pianist, is to give a
recital in Villard Hall tomorrow even
ing.
Such events are in keeping with an
institution such as the University of
()regon, and should he received with
enthusiasm by a community that
stands for the very best in literature,
music, and art.
The college student’s appreciation
of music does not stop with ragtime,
although such an impression is held
by many. Here we have one of the
finest productions of its kind, given
without charge on our own campus.
As a part of his education, no one can
afford to overlook this opportunity.
Our status as a group of University
people, capable of appreciating the
best in art, is judged largely by our
reception of an artist of Miss Lerner’s
type, nave we ueen euucaieu up to
the point of true appreciation? Wed
nesday evening’s attendance will an
swer the question.
IONTKIKS FOR HAND HALL
AKK ASKKD BY HAYWARD
Announcement v,as made yesterday
hy Physical Director William Hay
ward that entries for the annual in
ter class hand hall contest must be in
before next Saturday, December 7, or
participation in the game will not be
granted.
This ruling applies both to the sin
pie and double entries, and as the
pomes must be played off rupidly to
make way for the inter-fraternity
panics, Hayward desires that all the
prospective players hand in their
names at. once.
The first panic of the inter-frater
nity series between Alpha Tau Omego
ami Kappa Sigma that was to have
been played Monday afternoon, failed
to materialize on account of a scarcity
of players from the two houses when
time was called for the match.

What the College
Editors are Saying!
I..-.—®
“OVERSTEPPING THE BOUNDS”
“Taking advantage of the antiquated
condition of the Student Body consti
tution, a few college women have de
clared their intention of entering the
Idaho debate try-outs. No one will
deny their constitutional right to do
so, but in the act they are violating
a precedent, not only of Willamette,
but of every college worthy of the
name, which is that men and women
debate separately. To break this pre
cedent would be distinctively to lower
Willamette in our own and in others’
estimation.
“The Idaho debate was arranged
with no other thought than that it
was for men, though this not specified
in the contract. With this in mind,
we think that the women of the Uni
' versity will not insist upon entering
the try-outs.
“There is, however, every argument
in favor of debate for women. If
there is sufficient interest to justify
it, the manager of debate should by
all means attempt to schedule con
tests with the women representatives
of the other colleges of the state.
But if this interest is lacking, or if
the debates could not be secured,
there ought to be no attempt on the
part of the women to inject them
selves into the men’s arena.
“Woman suffrage, friends, has car
ried in Oregon, but even that fact
ought not to break down a proper
precedent and the “fitness of things.”
—Willamette Collegian.
REAL NEWSPAPER LIFE
“The editors of the Oregon Emer
ald, published by the students at the
University of Oregon, recently asked
several members of the Faculty for
an opinion as to the newspaper. Some
declared that it was too sensational,
some that it was not sensational
enough, some that it was too inde
pendent, some that it was too much
under the thumb of the Faculty. And
so the college editors have decided
“that the wisest course is to use our
own best judgement.” Those boys
are getting a taste of real newspaper
life. That’s what they all say on the
outside about real newspapers, my
boys.”—Klamath Falls Northwestern.

THEATRICAL
“Dombey and Son.”
By A. F. Reddie.
“Does he resemble his mother?”
“Poor Fanny! No, he wasn’t like his
mother. Poor Fanny! She died, Yes,
she died, but she meanlt well.”
Little Paul died, too, though doubt
less he also meant well,—died while
he saw a vision of the waves, with
his mother on the other side, beckon
ing to him,—died, and prevented the
proud name of “Dombey and Son”
from continuing.
Several novels of Charles Dickens
have been dramatized, and many not
ed actors and actresses have achieved
'their most signal successes in the
great character parts thus offered.
Indeed, as one of our writers says,
“Charles Dickens must always be one
of the most striking figures in the
history of English literature, on ac
count of the dramatic nature of his
success.”
In the dramatization of “Dombey
and Son,” 'to be presented at the Eu
gene theatre on December 6, by the
University of Oregon Dramatic Club,
the story of the death of little Paul,
the estrangement between Mr. Dom
bey and his daughter, Florence, Mr.
Dombey’s second marriage to the
proud and beautiful Mrs. Granger,
her desertion of him, and his recon
ciliation with his daughter, together
with the love affair and marriage of
Florence to Walter Gay, are graph
ically told. In all, there are twenty
two speaking parts, introducing all
the popular favorites of this wonder
ful novel.
In the prologue one finds the pale
invalid, “Little Paul,” dying amid the
solicitations of relations. His father
refuses to believe his son is ill. his
aunt tells him to “Make an effort,”
his father’s housekeeper tells him a
story of a mad bull. Only the gentle
Florence, his sister, understands, and
nestling close in her arms, and bab
bling sweetly to her of the wild
waves, and what they are saying to
him, he passes oujt into the great be
yond.
In the play proper are three acts,
the scenes alternating: between the
instrument maker’s shop—“The Little
Wooden Midshipman” and Mr. Dom
bey’s. We are shown the old instru
ment maker, Sol Gills, reduced to
beggery, and the bailiff attaching his
goods, his handsome young nephew
standing by, grieved and powerless.
They say in their agony that they
have no friend to help them, and in
the nick of time their old friend, Cap
tain Cuttle, appears, and suggests
that Walter apply to his employer,
Mr. Dombey, to whose house they re
pair.
Years before, when Paul was still
living, Walter found Florence when
she was lost in the London streets,
and on the strength of this episode,
Mr. Dombey loans the money to lift
the debt.
Mr. Dombey’s “Man of affairs,” Mr.
Carker, secretly determines that he
will marry Florence and, ruining Mr.
Dombey, becomes head of the great
firm. In Walter Gay he sees an ob
stacle, and so he induces Mr. Dombey
to send the young fellow to Barba
does, hoping he will die with the fever
there, and Walter sets sail on the
firm’s own vessel, "The Son and
Heir.”
In the meanwhile Mr. Dombey re
marries. His recond wife is a cold
and proud widow, Edith Granger. Mr.
Carker. foiled in hfs attempts to
marry Florence, determines to ruin
the Dombey home by an intrigue with
Edith. To that end he bends all his
cunning. Edith, who has learned to
despise Mr. Dombey, sees in Carker
an opportunity to do two things, re
venge herself on Mr. Dombey and
give Carker the treatment he de
serves. Ostensibly she leaves the
house with Carker, only to fail him
at the place of appointed meeting.
Mr. Dombey is crushed and, in a
tit of anger, strikes Florence, when
she attempts to console him. She
runs from her home to old Captain
Cuttle, now living alone at the "Mid
shipman," Sol Gills having started on
a search for Walter, for it has been
reported that the good ship "Son and
Heir” is lost.
In the last act we see Florence
keeping house for the old sea captain,
to whom has come the news of Wal
ter's rescue, and in a thrilling story of
the storm, the old man .tells the “lady
lass" of her lover’s rescue and re
turn. Walter enters the room and
Florence, with a cry of joy, is caught
in his arms.
