Writer, Actor,Producer Is Fore most Figure in His Field in United States. I 111; it i i and producer, the foremost figure in his field in the United States, will give an address in Villard hall Saturday evening, March 10. on his most popular lecture, "Why Worry With Art?” He is being brought to Eugene under the auspices of the Associated Student Body, the University and the Fortnightly club. Granville Barker is one of the few playwrights who champion the new idea in the drama. One of his purposes in lec turing through the country is to scatter suggestions on making the theatre more attractive, both fron the standpoint of the play itself and the stage setting. ‘‘The two things that I want most to make the public feel are, first that the theatre is important and second,that a good play doesn't mean a solemn play,” j said Mr. Barker. “On the contrary, the better a play is, the jollier it is, and the better fun. A good play should exhilirate and entertain. It must be a vivid and natural expression f something .The so ciologist who c'aims that it doesn’t mat ter what sort of plays are seen by the millions of people who go down to the theatres every day, is writing himself di wn as a callous person.” Mr. Barker has been the champion of this new idea since 1902. His presenta tions have included plays by Bernard Shaw. Anatole France, St. John Hankin, and John Galsworthy. Part of the credit for the popularity of Shaw’s plays is due rc Sir. Barker, for it was through his ef forts that many of them were put on the stage. In his own plays and in his productions of the older playwrights, Barker has set forth ideas that have come as a long needed and wished for change in stage work, and play producing. He is not in sympathy \^itb the old, conventional, and artificial methods of producing. One of bis famed presentations was the “Mid summer Night’s Dream,” with music written by Cecil Shaye, an English com poser, which he showed both in New York and London. The lecture has been placed in the hands of the student body and President Jaureguy has appointed a committee of management consisting of Ed Harwood, chairman, Eva Hadley. Margaret Crosby, Percy Boatman and Boberta Killam.

"Under the recent law passed by Con gress, uniforms vill he supplied the men,” said Mr. Onthank “and some ar rangements are in . iew by which men electing four years of military work will have their board and room furnished by the government, during ‘ least the last two years of their residence at the Uni versity.” “UK E” CLUB AT U.

To Advertise the University in State High Schools; Will Issue ■Renlrlet Plans arc being made for the revival of the “Greater Oregon" committee for the purpose of advertising the University among the high schools of the state. A similar organization was active last year. The committee is to be composed of about twenty-five members of the upper classes, the chairman to be elected from among the number. Nicholas Jauregny. who is in charge of the organization of this committee, has called a meeting to morrow afternoon, when plans for the work this year will be discussed. Among the plans to be suggested will be the issuing of a booklet telling of the advantages of the University. Another plan which will be considered will be that of using stereoptican machines and slides in the high schools showing views of the l Diversity and campus life. It is probable that the state will he divided into districts with committees of two or three members iu charge of each one, making each committee responsible for the publicity in one district. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Tokolo announces the election of ♦ ♦ the following: + ♦ EDWIN STROWBRIDGE ♦ ♦ WILLIAM STEERS, ♦ ♦ NED FOWLER, ♦ ♦ CARL KNUDSON. + ♦ EARNEST BOYLEN, ♦ ♦ EARL LESLIE, + ♦ J.

Ed Shockley, men's instructor of gym nastics, is going to organize a branch of the American Red Cross Life Saving Corps lice if there are those in the swim ming class who show a sufficient advance to warrant it.
