L. Stet son, Assistant Professor of Educa tion. Besides this there is a class of 31 doing observation work in the high school under the supervision of Prof. Stetson. It is intended that, in the future, the work done in the obser vation classes will be the basis on which the students doing practice work the following semester will be chosen. Students receive no pay for the teaching done while in school, but if their work is satisfactory they are given a better recommendation for securing a school after graduation. Their work is carefully observed, not only by the University Department of Education, but Ulso by the prin cipal of the high school. The following is the list of those doing practice work, the first ten in the Eugene High School, and the others as indicated: John Wilhelm, Commercial Arithmetic; Edna Harri man, History; Mabel Miller, Physiog raphy; Carlyle Geisler, Mathematics; Vaugh McCormick, Latin; Velma Sex ton, History; Donald Orput, Public Speaking; William Cass, English; Physiography; Miss Vera Keilems, Lucile Cogswell, Physical; Tabener, Physiography, Springfield High School; Miss Vera Keilems, History, Patterson School; Caroline Koyl, Grammar, Condon School; Katherine Kirkpatrick, Music, Condon School; Mildred Riddle, German, Lincoln: Charlotte Sears, German, Condon; Mary Rammage, German, Patterson; Lois Brown, German, Central; Helen Werlein, German, Geary; Grace True man, Geometry, University.

They aro “Gerald Thorne,” played by Ralph Ash, and “Wilfred Kenyon,” by Mandell Weiss, two emo tional parts which require heavy act ing. That these two are adequate for the task goes without saying. Both have appealed in theatricals MANDELL WEISS on local boards before and have al ways given a good account of them selves. In the last play, Huck Finn, by the class in Dramatic Interpreta tion, they played opposite each other as co-villains and carried off high honors. Both have attested that they have taken a wider interest in this play and that their parts allow them a lat itude to really show to their best advantage. £ FACULTY COMMITTEE WILL IMPROVE “U” CATALOGUE To improve the University cata logue, in content, arrangement and clearness, a committee consisting of Professors DeCou and Boynton and Registrar Tiffany have sent a ques tionaire to the heads of departments asking for suggestions.
