' Campus Discusses Plays Given By Fritz Leiber At Heilig Last Saturday (Continued from page one) work was very commendable and the type of humor they omployod smacked Tnore of the period than did Mr. Leiber’s. When playing a part like Hamlet, a character which has been at- j tempted by practically every tragic actor of note for the last two cen turies, an actor necessarily lays himself open to criticisnu which in volves comparison. I Let us say thou that Fritz Lotto er’s Haiulot diffors from Waiter Hampdou’s, who is still fresh iu our memory, ohiof'ly iu that it is more casual. Perhaps it is this very note that causes otto to be hold more intently by Mr. Ltdber; ho j attempts to (jive us un extremely 1 plausible and comprehensible Ham j let, and appears to look at the char- i after through the eyes of the pres ent. He disregards the meter of the iambic pentameter lino to a much greater extent than did Mr. Hampden. There is neither time nor space to indulge in a discussion us to whether or not the motor should be j rigidly followed; however the more closely it is followed, the loftier is the effect. Is not a lofty, grand and very poetic interpretation prob ably the way in which Hamlet was played by the Elizabethans? Is the modern casual method of de livering these lines more effective? Mr Burke, as Polonius, gave the most traditional performance of the east, while Mr. Allen’s Laertes, while not traditional, was very pleasing. The use of the suggestive setting is desirable in that it hastens the movement of the play and cuts down tiresome waits between scenes. However, one could not but feel that the dignity and gran deur of the theme of Hamlet could huve been enhanced by the use of more stage. Mr. Leiber set all of his settings very shallow, and this of course frustrated the effect of the ghost scene, which depends on an air of mystery, which the close proximity of the ghost in his white drapings to Hamlet and Horatio seriously intereferred with. Mr. Leiber’s return is engerly awaited in order to see some of , his other Shakespearean character izations. PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENT Alpha Phi announces the pledg ing of Maizie Kichards of Portland.

Fencing Declared Manly Sport, Has Followers On University Campus (Continued from page one) guarde,” “double rappelle, ” “de gage,’’ “avance, ” “revenir, ” “riposte,’’ “touche,’’ “remis,” and ‘reprise,” and other element ary terms. Competition is offered to an Oregon fencing team by Multno mah Amateur Athletic Club of Portland, and many such clubs in California. Possibly the future will find fencing an established inter collegiate sport. It will take at least two years of rigid drill to develop a competi tive team, for contrary to the fal lacy that fencing is effeminate, it is a vigorous, fatiguing sport and is very technical to those unfamil iar with its delights. Coach Fahl, on account of the un usual interest shown, has drawn up a schedule of glasses as follows: Monday—11 and 4 o’clock. Tuesday—10 o’clock. Wednesday—11 and 4 o’clock. Thursday—9 and 4 o’clock. Friday—11 and 4 o’clock. Mr. Fahl will gladly give an in terview to lyiyone interested, and any student may sign up for closes if they do so at once. Benefit Play Will Be Given By Janet Young At Heilig Theatre Tonight (Continued from pago one) coived in many parts of the coun try. This play was Miss Young’s own selection for tonight. The Mononi Olsen company it self is in the nature of an all-star organization. Organized several years ago at Salt Lake City, it lias met with unusual success, follow ing the plan of making frequent returns to the theatres of a particu lar section of tho country. Thus it is that tho theatre-goers of the west are becoming devotees of this company, whose artistic standards are of tho highest. A full houso is expected for the production at the Heilig tonight. Those who have seen Miss Young and the Moroni Olsen players are lavish in praise. And then—the proceeds are to go to the upbuild ing of the University. The local branch of the American Associa tion of University Women has handled the preliminary arrange ments and is sponsor for the pro duction. STUDENTS OF BIOLOGY WILL STUDY SHARKS Among the many different ani mals used for experimental pur poses in the biology and animal anatomy classes are some 170 sharks, which are comparatively new additions to the menagerie. The sharks will be used by the animal biology class in their laboratory work, as being probably the best example of the primitive vertebrate that can be obtained for experi mental purposes. The sharks are of all kinds, ranging from the ordinary long, spotted variety to the type found in the waters along the coast of Southern California, which are so much feared by swimmers in those waters. These fish are of all sizes and kinds and will be material for study by the biology class during nearly the entire winter term. PROFESSORS ATTEND STATE BAR MEETING The meeting of the executive [committee of the State Bar associa tion, held in Portland this past | week end, was attended by William 'cl. Hale, dean of the law school, and Professor Charles K. Carpenter I of the University law faculty. Dean llale is a member of the executive committee. Professor Carpenter, whose field is corporation law, is serving as the committee’s advising expert in drafting an amendment to the state corporation laws in re gard to non-par value stock. Dean Hale also represented the University at Bean Kichard H. Thornton’s funeral held in Port land last Saturday morning at St. Mary’s Episcopal church. BIG YEARLING SQUAD RETAINED BY EVANS All-state Stars Out for Frosh Hoop Team According to Coach Evans, the frosh hoop squad will not be cut early this season, as has been the plan in previous years. The year ling’s mentor maintains that any man willing to try consistantly for a place on his squad is to have every chance to prove his worth. As the freshman athletic program is fundamentally formulated to de velop varsity material, ;this (plan promises a new era in Oregon bas ketball. The greencappers will draw their team from the cream of the state’s all-star high school hoopers, and with the regular grind of basics progressing daily, a successful sea ■son is promised. Trying for positions are some of the men, well known in high school competition. The eenter position is contended for by Eberhart of Eu gene high and as an all-state man, he is a likely lad for the stretch ing job. Swalish from Oklahoma, and Ray Edwards from Freewater high also are working for the cir cle job. The forward line force promises to be well handled by a pair from a number of stellar can didates. Desler, of Milton high, Turner, an all-around man from Spokane; Hutchinson, a star from Jefferson high school; Beeney, a lad from Medford, and Krudson, another Portland star, from Benson, are likely material for the forward duties. The freshman hoop will be well protected, and the guards will be chosen from Ricksteen of Med ford; Tom Powers, lately of Uni versity high; Morton, from Marsh field high and Hodgen from Ath iena. The competition offered the nov ices is directed along a stiff and interesting schedule, and Coach Dave Evans and his subordinate, assistant coach Edlund, will ■ be kept busy lining up their material for the opening game with Frank lin high school of Portland, Janu ary 24, at the Portland high school gymnasium. The tentative schedule to date is as follows: January 24—Franklin high at Jortland. January 30 and 31—Medford high at Medford. February 7—O. A. C. Books at Corvallis. February 14—Medford high at Eugene. February 20—O. A. C. Books at Eugene.
