PECULIAR SITUATIONS GIVE CAST WIDE SCOPE IN ‘MAN ON THE ROT Bob Earl, Coach, Says Seniors Are Working Fine And That Surprises Are In Store The peculiar situations in which Lyle McCroskey, as Lieutenant Rob ert Warburton, finds himself at the hands of Alya Sutton, in the role of Betty Annesley, in the senior play, •‘The Man on ihe Box”, to be given at the Eugene theatre May 14, go far to make the play one of the features of Junior Week-end that will not soon be forgotten. The trying positions in which Miss Sutton succeeds in plac ing McCroskey give both the stars ample opportunity to display their dramatic talents. The entire cast has been working hard and from all reports several surprises are in store. Some of the more difficult character parts are fast being rounded into perfection and promise to be masterpieces In the manner of their presentation. A great deal of stress has been put upon the details and no minor part Is to be overlooked In making the final pro duction a success. "I have a hard working cast, which is over half the game to insure a first class production,” said Bob Earl, coach, who has been prominent in campus productions for a number of years. Before the war Earl was with the Ellison-White Chautauqua Co. He worked with Janet Young, a former Oregon girl, with “The Comus Play ers”, of the Chautauqua circuit. Miss Young is now appearing on Broad way. The purls taKen ny tne remainder of the cast blend nicely with tho leads of Miss Sutton and Mr. Me Croskoy. Keith Kiggins, In tho role of Mr. Henderson, a dear friend, finds much amusement In seeing his friend in love and in such constant embarrass ment, while Betty herself thinks it Is “rare sport”. Adah McMurpliey, in the part of Mrs. Conway, can see nothing funny or humorous in hiring a man who has been so reckless and brutish as to steal a kiss. The over polite Count Karloff, the Kussian diplomat, played by SI Sim ula, appears and complicates matters to a point where it seems that Col onel Annesley, played by Sprague Carter, must yield to everything, but of course Warburton comes to tho rescue and spoils the whole scene. The role of Nancy Warburton, by Helen Case, makes the situation a bit more trying even though she is the "best girl in the world", accord ing to Mr. Henderson. Mamie Itadabaugh, playing the part of Cora, the maid of the Annesleys, is the only one who seems to take the lieutenant's embarrassing situation to heart and earnestly endeavors to straighten out the affair. Norman Philips, as Judge Watts, gives humor to the court scene, when Betty testifies about the wrong man on the wrong box. Colonel Raleigh, played by Merle Moore, understands the whole situa tion and proves himself a good joker, thereby giving color to the plot. Other parts are played by Ralph Dresser, a French chef; John Hunt, as O'Brien, the life of the local po lice force; Clarence Lombard as Cas sidy; l.vle Bain as the court clerk and Byron Foster as William, the; stable hoy. j AMENDMENTS TO CONSTITU TION TO BE VOTED ON (Continued from page one) For Raising Student Tax Following are some of the quota tions: Stanford Anderson, president of tho Associated Students, says; | f “Due to the general rise In prices and increase in the number of stu dent body activities, requiring stu dent body support, it is of vital imJ portance that members of the stu dent body support this measure. Ev ery university in the West has in creased its student body tax and Oregon must do the same to com pete with these institutions.” Era Godfrey, secretary of the As sociated Students, says: “The Uni versity of Oregon student body must have more money for furthering of student body activities. We cannot expect to compete successfully with larger colleges if we haven’t suf ficient money to run our activities. We cannot give trophies to our ath eltes and debaters and other repre sentatives in the various student body activities unless we have money. W cannot end out teams to other colleges unless we have money. If Oregon expects to keep up to stand ard she must have more money.” Miss Godfrey says in regard to the Emerald amendment: “Every Ore gon student stands for a bigger and better paper, and with the cost of operation and of materials soaring sky high, it will be impossible to run a paper next year unless every Ore gon student supports it. A college the size of the University of Oregon should be able to support a paper without having drives constantly to insure its existence.” Serious Situation Faced Wilbur Carl says: “The student body faces a serious financial situ ation. During the past year,,the ex ecutive committee has been com pelled to refuse funds to important and deserving student body activities. This condition cannot exist if Oregon expects to successfully compete with rival institutions. It is absolutely imperative that this amendment pass.” AGGIES HERE THURSDAY O. A. C. BALL TEAM BLESSED WITH FLOSSY FLINGERS Keene, Hughes and Miller Strong— Oregon May Depend on Berg and Jacobberger Tlio perpetual rivalry between the Aggies anil Oregon will be brought to a focus again when the varsity baseball team meets the Orange and Black squad on Thursday afternoon. There are several reasons why the diamond artists lesire to hand out a stinging defeat to the visitors. The Aggies administered two telling wal lopings to Boss Huntington’s outfit last season, and then too the Cor vallisites have an aggregation worth winning over. "Shy 1ms not announced his line up, and it is hard to tell what will happen. Either Berg or Jacobberger will handle the slick ones in the first game, if Berg 1% used in the first game Jacobberger will probably twirl the second, and vice versa. The way Berg treated the Pullman boys makes things look unpromising for, the Farmers. Jacobberger is one of those wiseacres that uses old Jo con trol to the best advantage. His game against Pullman last Friday was a foxy exhibition. With a mighty good pitching staff, and a fair bunch of sluggers, Jimmie Richardson is not getting gray-head ed over his chances with Oregon this week. Very probably Keene will fea ture in the series, as he seems to be the prize of the lutrlers. The arrow seems to point at either Hughes or “Lefty” Miller for the other pitcher. Miller was injured some time ago, but If he is in con dition he will prove dangerous. On the other hand the teamwork of the Aggies does not look formidable. The present Oregon lineup appar ently is the most efficient possible, since “Shy” has not changed it this season. Patronize Emerald advertisers. TRIBUTE PI MOTHERS B. F. IRVINE’S ADDRESS APPEALS STIRRINGLY TO YOUNG Portland Newspaper Man’s Speech at Vespers Sunday Closes Week end Program A Mother's love stands in the background of all that has ever been accomplished in civilization, for around the home centers all indus try, all improvement however great, said B. F. Irvine of Portland in the first annual Mothers’ Day address de livered at the vesper services in Vil lard hall on Sunday afternoon as the close of the week-end program of entertainment for the visiting mothers at Oregon. In stirring phrases and in a voice which mingled deep sincerity and honest purpose he paid solemn tribute to the moth ers of the land. “Students,” he warned, “you will never know what mother is or what mother was until it is too late.” Then he told of his last picture of his mother—a mental picture of her standing with her hands upon his shoulders. It was his great regret, he said, that he could not then have expressed to her all that he now realized she had meant to him. Word by word and stroke by stroke he painted before his audience a picture, a picture which he said he longed for the power to put in living colors on a canvas. First was a little cottage, flower bordered and fresh; children playing on the lawn,, happy smiling children. Then a cradle in the cottage and a babV with a smile upon its face, a touch Of God, he called it. In the center of al lwould stand a woman, framed in the doorway of the cottage, the touch of Jesus Himself upon her face. And last of all a man hurra ing down the walk, a man dressed in overalls, or tired business man re turning from his work. One word would form the title, “Home,” the sweetest picture in all the world. And in it, bound up in that simple picture, if he might transplant it, a living thing here and there and everywhere throughout the land, was the cure for all the evil, for all the unrest in the world. “Every day,” said Mr. Irvine in his final tribute, “should be Mothers' day. For to Mother every day is children’s day.” WANTED—A girl to work for her room and board this summer. Only two in the family. Apply at the Bungalow.
