HID ARTISTS ID Ml MAT 22 IN OKI DRAMA THREE PLAYS TO BE GIVEN Proceeds Go to Women's Building; Miss Mary Perkins in Charge of Sale of Tickets. Three one-act plays will be given on May 22, in Guild Hall, by the Drama League of the Little Theatre of Port land, under the direction of Mrs. Dent Mowrey and Mrs. John Claire Mon teith, business manager, for the bene fit of the Women’s building. These plays are: "The Stronger,” by Au gust Strindberg; "Riders to the Sea,” by J. M. Synge, and “The Maker of Dreams," by Olipliant Down. “The Riders to the Sea” is one of the modern tragedies, written In Eng lish. It is the story of an Incident connected with an Irish fishing village in the Aren Islands and was written for the Irish Theatre which, under W. B. Yeats, is said to be one of the greatest Little Theatre movements in the world, according to Miss Helen Rhodes, of the art department, who has charge of the advertising for the plays here. One English critic is quoted as say ing of this particular play: “It is the tragic masterpice of our language, in our time. Wherever it has been played in Europe from Galway to Prague, It has made the word "tragedy” seem something more profoundly stirring and cleansing to the spirit than it ever has before." Mrs. A. SchrofT and Professor Fergus Reddle have charge of the properties. The sale of tickets is under the direc tion of Miss Mary Perkins and Miss Gertrude Talbot is to take charge of the entertainment of the players.

"It was tho Mary Ftplller Scholarship which enabled mo to go through tho University," writes Helen Withycombe ’IS. "Now 1 command a bettor posi tion than 1 could have if 1 had not had the training. What the scholarship lias done for mo i should like to see passed on to others.” Miss Withycombe was ttie tlrst girl to graduate from the University with the assistance of the Mary Sptller; Scholarship, receiving it as a gift the first year and a loan the other years. She now holds a position in tho As toria high schools. The Mary Spiller Scholarship Is sup-, ported by the State Alumnae Asocia-; tlon of Oregon. It was named for the] first woman member of the University! faculty. Each woman who has graduated from the University pays a member ship fee of $1 a year, which is used almost solely for the scholarship fund.! Members of the graduating class payj an entrance fee of lifty cents. These fees are the sole source of income for the scholarship. Applicant Must Be From Oregon. The scholarship provides for room and board in Hendricks Hall, given for the freshman year, and may be loaned the other three years, us in the case of Miss Withycombe, to be paid back without interest after graduation. A girl graduate of any accredited high school in Oregon (outside of Lanei county) may apply for the scholarship, film must be mentally, morally and1 physically fit and must need the aid of tho scholarship in order to attend the University. She must be reason ably sure that she will graduate from Oregon. "In past years,” said Mrs. Jennie Beatie-Harris, ’96, secretary • treasurer, of the association, "we have not had enough applicants for the scholarship. There has been almost no competition. I am very anxious to have the senior women who intend to teach after graduation, find out ahout the scholar ship so that when they go out as teach ers, they may be able to recommend some girl for the scholarship who oth erwise could not come to Oregon." Officers of Association. The officers of the association for this year are: Edith Veazie Bryson, [ ’97, president, Eugene; Louise Jones, ’04, first vice-president, Portland; Mary Rothrock Culbertson, ’07, second vice president, Hood River; Jennie Beatie Harris, ’96, secretary - treasurer, Sa lem; Sophie Catlin Spears, ’ll, corre sponding secretary, Salem, and Celia V. Hager, ’12, advisory, Eugene. WOMEN’S BUILDING WORK IS DELAYED Difficulty in Transportation Is Cause of Trouble; More Money Is Needed; Bids Yet to Be Let. Difficulty in transportation of build ing materials will probably prevent the finishing of the Women’s building in time for the fall term, according to Professor P. P. Adams, instructor in the architectural department. Enough bricks have been shipped in to finish the building, although they were so late in arriving that work was greatly delayed; The roof would have been finished by this time if the bricks had come when ordered, said Professor Adams. The outside walls up to the second floor have been constructed, and the main floor has been laid. All cement work, such as the swimming pool and courts inside, were finished several months ago, while plumbing and elec tric wiring is being installed as the work progresses. Bids are to be let soon for inside partitions, and other finishings such aB casings, window sills, and mould ings. The windows, doors and other Inside additions are ready for placing, according to Professor Adams. Difficulty has been met in obtaining marble for interior finishing and dec oration, and at present none is availa ble. The marble will be procurable later, however, and will be put in when the building is more nearly completed. The amount to be raised to finish the Women’s building probably has diminished to $10,000 or less, accord ing to Karl Onthank. Send the Emerald home.
