A day’s rest will take aWay any fag that the W. S. C. game might have caused. Ike regular Oregon line-up will Stitt against the Vandals. Hobson, whose playing was the most sensa tional Seen on the Cougar floor this sealton, and Gowans, star floor man and depart converter, will start at fbr#atd.

The trip to Wendling has become an annual affair with the two or ganizations and the concerts this year like those previously given were well attended. Both concerts were followed by a dance.

Lora Teshner, cello (a) Slavonic Dance . .Dvorak-Kreisler (b) Guitar .t....Losvkowski Alberta Potter, violin Dr. Parsons will deal in his lec ture with problems arising in con nection with education and religion which have conflicted in the past.

New Club Formed For Purpose of Improving Radio A radio club for flip purpose of improving radio utility in Eu gene was organized Tuesday night at the Chamber of Com merce rooms. The group will at tempt to secure some profession al or government man to come to Eugene to check up on the amateur operation of radio, and any other interferences with radio reception which he may find. All (he students and faculty men who are interested may be come charter members of the club by paying a dollar fee be fore the first of March. When O. Tt. lied fern, the government inspector for the Northwest is in Eugene, the body will be reor ganized in respect to fees. The officers elected for the club are: A. S. Myers, president; W. .\. Whether, vice president; and Robert Callahan, secretary and treasurer. The time for the next meeting has not ns yet been definitely determined. Differences Attributed to Lack of Knowledge “Honesty, charity, and faith,'’ are the virtues of the scientist, in contrast with “faith, hope, and charity,’ of the Christian religion,” said Hr. William P. Boynton, head of the department of phisics, be fore an audience in' Alumni hull, last night. The scientist must work on the assumption that the universe is or ganized in an orderly fashion. This is faith, said Dr. Boynton. A spir it of tolerance is essential to the man of science, the speaker con tinued. The open mind, is also a necessity. Most of the supposed conflict be tween science and religion is due to lack of knowledge, the speaker asserted. As thre is a difference of opinion between the young and old, so is there a difference be tween theology and science. Relig ion is older than any recorded his tory; science is a “veritable young ster. ” The religionist is the man who is levoted to the very real values of religion. The scientist attempts to liscover the new real things.

MASK ID BUSH COMEDY TONIGHT Ten-Thirty Rule for Women Wishing to Attend Play Lifted By Committee WALTER MALCOLM LEAD Good Seats for Production Of ‘Kempy’ At Heilig Still Available Says Manager The first, and only performance of “Kempy,” side-splitting fareo comedy, by Mask and Buskin, chap ter of Associated University Play ers, will be given tonight at the lleitig theatre, at 8:30 o’clock. Al though some plans have been made to tako “Kempy” to Portland, it is certain, according to Bernard McPhillips, president of the organi zation, that there will be no other performance in Eugene. Tickets are selling rapidly for the production, announced James Leake, business manager for Mask and Buskin, late yesterday, but there are still many good seats which may bo purchased at the box office of the Ileilig. Prices as announced are $1.00, 75 cents, and 50 cents. Comedy Plot Given “Kempy” is a “sure-fire” com edy with Gordon Wilson, as “Pa” Bence, father of three marriageable daughters, playing the chief humor ous character. Bernard McPhii lips takes the part of the snappy, fiashingly-dressod real estate agent who has married one of the Bence daughters and who attempts to aid “Pa” in his plans to marry off the other two. Helen Park as “Ma” Bence, is tho mother, and Jane BoDine, Elizabeth Kerr, and Helga McGrew as Kate, Kuth, and Jane, respectively, are the three daugh ters themselves. Clifford Zehrung ns the millionaire lawyer, Duke Merrill, is the bait for which the Bences are angling and Walter Malcom, as Kempy, tho plumber with ambitions, is tho one who is caught. Success of Play Noted “Kempy” was written by two vaudeville monologists who ate veterans of the theatre and have combined in it all the elements which make a comedy successful— humor, clever lines, suspense, sur prise—all are included. Two years ago, “Kempy” was the biggest comedy hit of the Now .York season and it has only recently been re leased for amateur production. Mask and Buskin has presented each year for several seasons past, at least one play, usually given at the Ileilig theatre. Many students remember “The Dover Road,” pre sented last year with Darroll Lar I sen and Kate Pinneo in the lead. “Come Out of the Kitchen” was the play given the year before. By special permission of the student affairs committee, tonight has been made an open night. Sfu dents may have “dates” and Uni versity women aro allowed to stay out after 10:30 o’clock, to attend. IMPROVEMENTS MADE IN CAMPUS PIPELINE A few minor improvements ore being made on tho eampus from time to time as tho weather per mits. Work is progressing once again on the laying of the section pipe from tho mill race to the heat ing plant. This has required seve ral days labor as the pipe had to lie taken tip from its old place where the old heating plant used to stand. The necessity of crossing the railroad tracks has made the task more difficult. “This weather has played havoc with ttie work, as the rain filled in the trench which had been made and now ttie mud has to be taken out,” said Mr. Fisher, who is in charge of the laying of the section pipe. Another improvement is the re moval of the wire fencing which stood around the old tennis courts between the library and commerce building.
