MERCHANT OF VENICE” TO BE GIVEN AT MATINEE Production This Afternoon for School Children As several requests have come to the dramatics department from the Eugene schools asking to have “The Merchant of Venice” produced Friday afternoon in order to give the high school and grammar school students an opportunity to see the play. A special matinee will be produced for them this afternoon. This production does not take the place of the performance which will be played tonight as was originally planned. “The Merchant of Venice” has been popular with the students during the two nights it has been played in the Guild theatre. The work of Professor Reddie has received much favorable comment and many think his work in this role even surpasses that in “Dis raeli.” Miss Banfield, as Portia, played a delightful part and Arthur Johnson, as the Prince of Morocco, played one of the best parts he has ever played on the Guild stage. Dar rell Larsen as Antonio did some very good work and the part of Bassanio, played by Norvell Thompson was also commendable. The entire members of the cast were : Antonio, the merchant, Darrel Larsen; Salarino, Vern Fudge: Salanio, .Toe Clark: Gratiano, Delbert Faust; Bassanio, Norville Thompson; Portia, Charlotte Banfield; Shylock, Fergus Reddie; Jessica, Hildegarde Repinen: Lorenzo, Charles Fish; Ner issa, Sadye Eceles; Balthazar, Wade Kerr; Prince of Morocco, Arthur John son; Launcelot Gobbo, Claire Keeney; Old Gobbo, John Ellestad; A singer Viola Powell; Prince of Arragon, Vir gil Mulkev; Tubal, Edward Denham; A flowergirl, Betti Kessi; The Duke of Venice, Edwin Keeeh. DR. ZIMMERN (Continued from page one) Supremacy to bo Shared “The naval supremacy of the future is to be shared. Sea power is so ter ribly formidable that the day of naval supremacy by any one power is ended. Naval power is too terrible for the world to allow it to remain in any one nation’s hands,” declared this Briton whose country has laid down her long sustained mastery of the seas, but not however without adding, “We used it well; we thought of it as defensive.” “The balance of power is a European tradition,” he said, “and I hope with all my heart that it is not to be transferred to other parts of the world.” There is a better principle, he insisted, in cooperation “to fulfill world purposes, world services,” to police sea lines, put down piracy and keep order generally. And there he sees the big achievement of the Washington conference: that it has “discovered a better way to use the ships that are left.” Evils From Disruption Being a Britisher Dr. Zimmern said, “Had we desired to create a ‘balance of power’ in North America we could have done it at the time of the Civil War,” by playing Canada and the South against the Union. Europes’ difficulties today are not due so much to anything that was writ ten in the treaties but rather to the economic disruption caused by the war, he declared. She should have gone back to work in 1918 and 1919; in those years the first preoccupation of every statesman should have been the wel fare of the people of Europe. So the Genoa conference is late, he says. To the working of private and for eign capital he lays much of the indus ~KAPPA SIGS LEAD (Continued from page one) up of two or three men, while baseball and track teams each take the efforts of at least nine men to make them a success. Popular opinion on this point seems to be that the sports which sup port major teams should have the most importance in the doughnut all-year standings. A large score board is being con structed by Pete Jenson and will be in stalled in some prominent part of the gymnasium so that as each sport is run off the score will be added to that al ready up. Edwin Fraser has been ap pointed official scorer for the contests and will have charge of the board. The trophy for the winning organiza tion has not yet been decided on but will be either a large plaque, or a large silver loving cup, which will have to be won three years in succession before it goes to an organization permanently. This is the first year that a plan of this sort has been attempted, so a great deal of trouble will no doubt be ex perienced, but all contestants should bear this in mind and help the men in chnrtre as much as possible. trial reconstruction in central Europe. Now, he says, the unemployment cen ters have moved from Leipzig and Munich to London and to the United States because of the ability of cent ral Europeans to undersell in other markets. Dr. Zimmern predicts a great state in the future extending from the Baltic to Albania to be formed out of the wreckage of age-old autocracies which are even now budding democracies. The war has destroyed the great autocracies and left standing the great democra cies,” and replaced the former with “inexperienced, vigorous democracies . . . . a victory of the principle of self government. . . . We have all the ele ments of a concert in Europe now, all the elements of a real cooperative or ganization.” He predicts' great artistic activity in coming years. And it will be builded, he believes, by the men who fought in the war, the men who, though they now “fail to fit the tight grooves of modern life,” will some day organize all that came to them in the long months in the face of death. And he put his thoughts in the French proverb: “If I youth but knew: if age but could. If youth had but the knowledge; if age ibut the power.” When the reins of Europe fall in the hands of these men who have the knowledge and the power I Europe will see great things. And there she has America beaten, he thinks, for she has greater numbers of men who fought. England’s Colonies Discussed In discussion following the lecture certain interesting points came to light. Among them was a hint that the Vati can is supporting the Turks against the Greeks; that it is “harder upon schis matics than heretics.” Speaking of India he said, “The Hindu moslems look to the Sultan as Catholics all over the world look to the Pope.” The present situation in Egypt he terms “comical” and evinced a slight desire to side-step questions on Eng land’s colonial policy. In answer to a question on shipping he said, "You pay your seaman so high that we can knock you out any time; and the Germans can knock us out.” In American ship subsidies he sees an end to Britain’s grievance over the Panama canal tolls. The prime pur pose of government interest in ship ping he seemed to believe was as a training field for sailors for war ves se^s- Speaks in Afternoon Dr. Zimmern delivered a lecture yes terday afternoon in the Y. M. C. A. Hut on “What is Europe.” He pointed out that the respective civilizations of the European and American continents differed in five particulars; namely, in the cultural, social, ecclesiastical, in dustrial, and the political. “People in your country are talking already about a federated Europe. That is a dream for the future. The need today is for co-operation in putting Europe on her feet and working out the problems that are confronting all the nations.” Dr. Zimmern speaks this morning at 10 o’clock in the “Y” hut to jour nalism and history students and the interested people.

Dunn, head of the Latin department, who says that he has two theories, either of which is more tenable and commendable than i those advanced in the past. “There are a number of theories,” said Professor Dunn, "all inadequate, to my mind, and some of them absurd.” He spoke of the contentions that Ore gon is derived from the Greek “origa non,” meaning marjoram, and from the French “ouragan,” meaning hurricane or storm, as improbable. Equally im plausible, in his opinion, is the sug gestion that its origin is found in a Spanish word meaning “big ears.” reflecting on the Indians’ hearing ap paratus. “Our Indians haven’t any bigger ears than any other people,” he said. Professor Dunn refuses to divulge the exact nature of his theory except to say that he believes that the true origin of the name Oregon is Spanish, j since Spain claimed the Pacific coast region. He intends to leave Tuesday for a four-day extension tour among the high schools of Hillsboro. Gresham and near by districts to speak on subjects per j taining to Roman history and Latin. [During his stay he will make his head ; quarters in Portland where he will make use of the Portland library in carrying on his investigation of the origin of the word “Oregon.” SOUTHERN OREGON STUDENTS Because of an important matter af fecting students who live in Klamath Falls, Medford, Ashland, Roseburg, or Oakland, a meeting has been called for 12:50 today in the “Y” hut.
