PROFESSOR'S LOVE SUBJECT OF PLOY Successful Cast Will Portray Barries’ Scotch Romance on April 25, 26, and 28 History, mystery and society plays can interest some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but it takes a whimsical Scotch love story written by the inim itable Barrie to interest all of the peo ple all of the time. The professor, who has fallen in love with his secretary presents not an al-; together new situation, but this pro-1 fessor is new in his total failure to realize the cause of his indisposition, and leaving town to recover, he takes along the delightful cause of his dis comfiture. The Eternal Triangle Also a triangle is nothing new, but when the “other woman” tells “the woman” of her weapons, puts them right into her hands with detailed in structions on how to use them, it is exceedingly interesting and a little novel, l-’or the other woman is as ig norant as is the professor as to the cause of his failing health. But one person there is who knows— and that is the cause herself. She doesn’t refuse to go on the trip, nor does she refuse the weapons so care fully placed in her hands by her rival, and then come the complications that are always necessary. Today is the day of all-star casts. One star used to be enough but not so in this sophisticated age—and Guild Hall has been keeping apace of the times. If Guild Hall had a name like “Lyric,* “Bialto” or “Rex” the names would be blazing out in many little electric lights for the cast as announced includes Fergus Reddie, the man of the Seven League Dramatic Boots, Char lotte Banfield who made Cleopatra and Grandmother Squeers famous, Lorna Coolidge whose Irish brogue insin uates ancestors, Star Norton who has made many successes, Art Johnson who makes better parts out of good ones and good parts out of poor ones, Vorn Fudge, famous for his comedy roles, and others of equal ability. Company Is Praised In the last Guild Hall production, “La Malquerida,” a dramatic triumph of a very spectacular sort was achieved. Critics gave it as their opinion that the play put tho University Company on a high artistic level, that it was one which required much in tho way of mature understanding and sympathy, much in character portaryal, and in sus pense and amosphere. To Darrol Lar sen and Charlotte Banfield goes the maximum of praise, but every indi vidual member of the cast played up in a finished way. The Professor’s Love Story will be produced on April 25, l’(> and 28. TRAVEL INFORMATION ASKED BY MAGAZINE Object is to Help American Travelers To Choose Places for Motor Trips and Hikes A letter has recently reached the | office of President Campbell request ing student contributions to a new Pacific coast magazine which is being started by the Hikes and Travels Pub lishing company, of San Francisco. Tho publication is to go by the same muno and is being established, according to the editor’s letter, to assist the public in choosing places of recreation and vacation and to acquaint them with the beauty spots of this country and of foreign lauds. The magazine will be published for the first, time about Miav first.. Stu dents of the University are invited to submit manuscripts concerning their personal experiences on hikes, motor trips, and travel of any kind. The editor of “Hikes and Travels” may be reached at d.'!2 Mission street, San Francisco. He further specifies that all material should be written in narrative form, should show exactly tho route taken, so that a stranger may find his way according to the descrip tion, and asks that pictures of the trip be included as they are essential to com plete the description. The duration of the trip and approximate expense must also be included, the leter adds: “The story should be written in the light hearted spirit of youth, show! little incidents, be interesting, and, if possible, show some humor,” the editor concludes.

PLEDGE- INSTALLMENTS PAID BY THREE SENIORS Promises of Financial Support of Student Union are being Kept by Class of 1923 The 1923 class memorial committee anounces receipt of the first $10 install ment pledges toward the establishment of a student union on the University campus. These three were received from John MacGregor, of Portland; Claire H. Keeney, of Eugene; and George Robert Gochnour, of Eugene. At the last meeing of the class of 1923, held at the close of last term, the members voted on and passed a resolu tion pledging themselves to give 100 dollars each, in ten annual installments toward the establishment of a student union, this, amount to be given as a memorial to the class of 1923. Pledge cards were sent out to the 375 members of the class on Thursday and were recived on Friday morning with the resultant response. Members of the committee in charge of the mem orial funds are John M. MacGregor, chairman; Imogeno Letcher, Owen Cal laway, Florence Garrett and Bernice Altstock. The committee wishes to announce that any member of the class who has not received a pledge card may obtain one from John MacGregor.

Clark, of the extension division. One hundred and seven students were enrolled in lit* courses, compared to 71 enrolled in 85 courses for March of last year. The largest number of lesson papers ever received and corrected in one month, were also handled by the correspondence division last month. The majority of these were from students taking English.

ARCHITECTS WILL 1 STUDY FIVE YEARS: New Requirements of Course In Effect Next Fall; Faculty Approves A new five-year architecture course with the professional degree of bache-1 lor of architecture instead of the present four-year course with a bachelor of science degree is the plan drawn up by Dean Ellis E. Lawrence and professors of the school of architecture and allied i arts. It was approved by the faculty at their last meeting. The system will be instituted next year, with the beginning class, though this year’s freshmen may graduate under the present plan if they desire. The use of the point system will be one of the features of the new ar rangement. “The five-year course with the pro fessional degree means raising the stand ard of professional education very mark edly,” said Dean Lawrence, in outlining the change. “Then, too, the course will be more flexible, built to fit the partic ular training and capability of each The use of the point system in design will put the work on a more individual basis, since men who have had previous experience or have special talent will not be held back by beginners. In the same way beginners are not at the dis advantage of being judged on the same problems as more experienced men. Cornell college ancl the University of California have the five-year system. The Boston Institute of Technology starts next year on a similar plan. The course hero at Oregon will attempt to lighten the annbal load carried by the student, to gain a better relationship between cul tured electives and professional subjects, and to sufficiently train in advance de sign to warrant the granting of the pro fessional degree. The four-year course at present schedules 218 hours, while the first four years of the five-year course schedules from 190 to 204 hours. The five-year course offers, however, 21 pro fessional subject hours not possible un der the present plan, and a possible 237 to 249 total hours as compared to 218 with greater flexibility of electives. The degree is awarded under eight rules drawn up for the the school, an interesting feature of which is the pre sentation of a “Data Book” satisfactory to the dean each year, including the results of the student’s research in de sign, history and ornament and prac tice. LIBRARY HAS NEW CASE Addition to be Installed for Shelf List; Douglass Desires New Stacks & M. IL Douglass, librarian, recently returned from a visit to Portland, where ho spent some time' investigating card catalog cases, with the result that in the near future a new 00 tray case will be installed at the Library for the shelf list. The present tray in use for the shelf list will be used for the ex tension of the dictionary catalog, the addition of new books to the library in the past making the change necessary. ilr. Douglass states that the library is hoping that within the next two weeks a decision may be reached by University officials which will permit the building of two new stacks for books in the library, which the in- i creased number of books demands. — DANCING CLASSES START I — Production will be Staged in Guild Hall: In May to Demonstrate Work Classes in educational interpretative dancing, under the supervision of Miss Lillian Stupp, are still open to those who are interested in this work.

Rebec Praises Emerald in Letter from Paris The following paragraph is quoted from a personal letter to a faculty mem ber from Dr. George Itebec, dean of the graduate school, who is now in Europe. He writes from Paris: “I was pleased to get the Emerald. As I must have told you last year, and as I told some of the staff themselves, the Emerald has undergone a remarkable evolution in the last few years. Making all allowance for the defieiences and im maturities which you yourself mentioned, I have felt it was now the best -Ameri can college paper that it was my privi lege to come in contact with. The boys and girls are using some mind and heart in it; and—wha,t, in spite of the fashion of sophistication, youth ought not to be ashamed of—they are showing some glow of intellectual and ideal ardor and as piration.” REGISTRATION TOTAL 49 HIGHER THAN IN WINTER Incomplete Figures Show 2397 Enrolled; April 21 Last Day Open For Entrance Although final figures on registra tion have not been compiled yet, the total number of students registering up until yesterday* noon was 2397.

COUPLE TELL ENGAGEMENT Betrothal News Broken by Overturning of Tiny Baskets Containing Flowers The announcement of the engagement of Marvel Skeels and Del Oberteuffer at the Pi Beta Phi house Sunday was the cause of a prolonged celebration which began when the tiny pink bas kets containing fbrget-me^nots wetre tipped over and the cards concealed beneath them revealed, and lasted until late that night. Because of the prominent place that each has held on the campus, the en gagement was especially interesting. Marvel Skeels is a' senior in th^ school of music, a member of the Glee Club, Mu Phi Epsilon, Kwama, and was awarded the Gerlinger Cup in her Junior year. Del Oberteuffer, Beta ; Theta Pi, a well known trackman, will j probably be always best known in the | role of Yell King Obie.
