This is the lust word in Pageant plans, and conies from A. F. Reddie, director of the June feature. As first planned, the stage—if such it can be called, will occupy the west end of Kincaid field, and practically the whole field will be used for the dances. The setting which will follow the line of the running track, will begin at the west “lids of the north and south bleachers. There evergreens'and fir trees will be hanked solidly while hills will rise be hind the forests, ending in mountains, and stretching away into a moonlit sea in the extreme background. Down from the hills, and on to the plains will wind a road. In the foreground great crag, where the Spirit of Freedom first ap pears, is to complete the scene. This setting conforms to the symbolical idea of the Pageant, and will represent four main units—mountains, valleys, seas and plains. Enormous screens, JO feet high and painted with Indian symbols on a gray ground work, are to enclose the entire setting. The elaborate lighting effects which will be in charge of Professor Reddie and Earl FTurphy, can be man aged from behind these screens. The running shed, enclosed, is to serve as dressing rooms and a place to store properties. Another important detail of the pro duction is the plan for general decora tion. The entire seating section^ will be clone in greens and Oregon colors. Here are the principal speaking parts, and the names of the students who will play them in the first : U-Oregon Pa geant: Spirit of Oregon, Mrs. Daise Beckett Middleton; Sascajewea Charlotte Ban field; Gold, Melba Williams; Truth, Har old Humbert; Freedom. Emma W'ootoJ; Spirit of the Valleys, Helen Braeht; Spirit of the Seas. Margaret Crosby" Spirit of the Mountains, Eyla Walker; and the Spirit of the Plains. Bernice Lucas. Marion Tuttle, Naomi Hoskins, Laurene Taylor, Gertrude Cowgill and Randall Scott have been asked to take prominent parts. Dancers, pioneers, Indians, and the chief characters will bring the size of the cast up to approximately 250. In the opening of the “Spectacle, hills, valleys, plains and seas are crying to lie allowed to produce, so the great Spirit sends them the Indian; but he only en joys himself, and takes no advantage of the hidden wealth. It is then that a second supplication brings the thrifty white man, led by Saseajewea, and the pageant progresses on through the var ious stages of settlement. For the close, a procession of the counties has been arranged, in which each one, represented by a student from that county, if possible, will offer up rich gifts to the Spirit of Oregon. Al though the students of dramatic inter pretation may naturally be given first consideration, Professor Beddie is anx ious to meet anyone who desires to take part in the Pageant, and who has the necessary qualities—mainly a good sized voice. A grand finale is beiug arranged and written by Professor W. F. G. Thaclier; the department of public speaking and the school of architecture are working in co-operation in all designing; During spring vacation Professor and Mrs. Ileddie will plan all costumes, to be made later by a committee of faculty women and students. The Pageant post er, designed by Glenn Stanton, and car rying out in minute detail the symbolical spirit of the whole, has gone to the printer. It is to be distributed through out the coast states by the Souliern Pa cific railroad. Initial rehearsals are planned for-sc^ne time during the latter part of April. ME PIE’EXCELLENT Eutaxian Musical Tabloid Given Friday Night a Success. Critic Praises Individually, the Work of Amateur Cast, and Good Chorus. By Leslie Bxades “Apple Pie”, the Lutetian musical tabloid given Frida/ nigh, met with an enthusiastic reception f 'om. two crowded houses. The dances were especially ap preciated as evidenced from the frequent and insistent applause. The work of Miss Melba William as Bo Peep, as well as the able support given her by the chorus, was one of the outstanding features of the skit. Miss Williams has a clear sweet soprano and she uses her voice with effect. Ilei dancing of the chor .s encores audw* to to the success of the playlet. Miss Hazel Rudeuough as Tommy, the naughty boy, drew many laughs by her chubby imitation of masculinity. The crying scene between Miss Raden bough and Miss Marion Tuttle was th« best bit of the genuine comedy in the skit. Mother Goose was given a jovial well marked characterization by Miss Eyla Walker, and Mary quite Contrary, play ed by Miss Rosamund Shaw, was as dainty as her sister in the old nursery books.

HUGHES SPEAKS 1 DOUBTjr VESPER Says We Have One Privilege in Believing Something Great and Divine. “Everything—Art, Literature and Philosophy—Challenged by Modern Thinkers.’’ Bishop Mathew S. Hughes, resident bishop of the Portland area of the Meth odist ohureh, spoke on the subject, “Hu man Progress and Religious Doubt” at vesper services held Sunday afternoon at 4:110 in Villard hall “Doubt is the spector of the mind”, said Bishop Hughes, “something to be fought and overcome. “Doubt is thorough going in our times," he said. “Doubters are like folks with poodle dogs, they trot them out at the slightest provocation. Every liing, art. literature, and philosophy is j challenged by the modern doubters. They even doubt the existence of doubters.” Bishop Hughes said that doubt uses all of the modern methods; newspapers, teachers, lecturs, and thu it is even heard from the pulpit. “Doubt has had some advantage in recent years,” he continued, “It has had the patronage of philosophers; it has claimed the creden tials of science; it ha a claimed the sanc tions of some religious thinkers.” Bishop Hughes maintained that al though doubt is something to be avoided, the doubter has his rights. He believes that the doubter has his rights in the church of God, because the men there have a right to think. “The man who deserves no sympathy for doubt is the man who, instead of camping on the way to faith, uses the Louse of doubt for all time”, be asserted. Bishop Hughes discussed the many in stitutions which stand upon faith and which doubt would ruin. “One great privilege which we are all given is the privilege of believing something that is great and fine antUdivine." Music for the occasion was furnished by the University orchestra and choir. The scripture reading and prayer were given by Dr. George H. Parkinson, min ister for the first Methodist Church .if Eugene. Y. M. C. A. WILL INSTALL New Officers to Assume Duties at Ban quet Tomorrow Evening.
