EASTERN ARTISTS WILL PRESENT THREE PLATS Stewart Walker Company Praised by Dr. Rebec Apropos of the visit of the Stewart Walker players, who will be in Eugene February 5 and 6, Dean George Rebec, dean of the graduate school and professor of philosophy, addressed a large group of townspeople and members of the University community, in the Wo man ’s building, Monday night. Dr. Rebec spoke on the “Book of Job,” from which one of the plays of the Walker company is taken, and Miss Hair told of successes which the Walker players have met with else where. These players, who have been appearing in the east for spme time with marked success, are playing to western audiences for the first time. They will he in Portland for five days before coming here. They will give three performances in Eugene, two in the evening and one in the afternoon. Tuesday night, February 5, they will present “Gods of the Moun tain,” which is reputed to be iu itself an artistic triumph. The next afternoon there will be a matinee at which a group called “Three David Plays” will be put on. The three plays are: “Six Who Pass While Lentils Boil,” “Sir David Wears a Crown,” and “The King’s Great Aunt.” The last night, Wednesday ,they will pre sent “The Book of Job,” and of all the Walker plays, this is praised most highly by the critics. “I believe that the ‘Book ot Jod is undoubtedly the greatest master piece of human artistic genius,” de clared Dr. Rebec Monday night. “It is the Hebrew genius at its sublimest. It is not historic; it is essentially and substantially dram atic, and as such is one of the world’s greatest masterpieces.” Hr. Rebec explained the context of the book, taking care to point out the reactions of Job to his trials, and the influence which the three friends had upon his life. “The Book of Job,” concluded the Dean, “presents a picture of a universe so mighty that man must wonder at it, and wait upon it m wonder and in patience. It port rays man incurably and irradically religious.” Miss Hair referred to press and personal comments upon the plays to illustrate the popularity and praise they have met with when ever they have been given. Mrs. Mary Watson Barnes, of the Eng lish department, Miss Fitch, and Miss Hair herself, are among Uni versity of Oregon persons who have seen one or all of the Walker pro ductions, and who cannot over estimate the pleasure and profit whieh they gained thereby. RACE QUESTION ONE RAISED IN CONVENTION (Continued from page one) ing the world today, if the opin ' ion of scores of international speak ers and of the six thousand repre sentatives of a thousand institutions of higher learning in the United States and Canada, assembled at the • Student Volunteer convention, can be taken as a criterion of public opin ion among the educated classes. If that be true, it may be as sumed that it is worth while to con sider some of the opinions offered there, and in very way possible try to inform ourselves on this impor tant world-wide issue. Dr. Willus J. King of Atlanta, Ga., colored, had this to say about race prejudice: “One of the most difficult prob lems in our world today is that com monly known as the ‘race problem’ ” he said. “This is true from what ever angle we view it, whether racial, national or international, and there i are those who believe that the next I great war is in the making; that it will be a race war; that in compar- j ison to it, the recent world war will hardly be a circumstance in the fer ocity with which the struggle will !be waged and the ruin and destruc tion that will result from this bat tle of the races. “Human personality must be held sacred and we must stop all lyneh ings,” he continued, bringing the problem of race prejudice home to the United States. “Must there be hatred and bloodspilling forever? I would suggest a more excellent way. It is the way of Jesus.” "We must recognize that each group has a distinct contribution to be made to the total life of the human race,” he continued. Dr. T. Y. Tsu, professor in St. John’s University, Shanghai, China, held the opinion that “race preju dice is engendered also by politicians and by politically controlled news papers.” It was discovered in discussion groups that student opinions differ ed greatly. Each group had repre sentatives of a hundred or more col ,'egcs from all sections of the United States. Some of the students held that there should be no racial dis tinctions. Others said if there were such distinctions they should be drawn cooperatively. A large, group were in favor of | racial equality without inter-mi.r ! rtago. Other suggestions offered as ia possible solution .were a single i standard of morals, equal opportnn ' itv regardless of »ce or color, social relations to be considered a personal not a corporate matter, that segrega tion is only a temporary expedient, and that prejudice, varying accord ing to contact, need be made a major topic for consideration only where it is a major problem. Means suggested for the elimina tion of race prejudice were, foster ing of discussion groups on the cam puses, changing the tone of the press of the country, the recognition of piricnality regardless of race, color or creed, and an exchange of profes sorships. All students on the campus are in vited to take issue with any of the above statements. Ample opportun ity will be given in discussion groups dealing with this problem for any student to give vent to his opinions and to offer his contribution toward a more thorough understanding of this and other world-wide issuer.

The etchings are especially worthy of praise. They are displayed under glass on the tables in the middle of the room. The artist is seen to be a good draftsman, and one with a sense of design.
