MISS WILBUR SIDES
YEAR’S PLAY PROGRAM
Attends 50th Anniversary j
Of College Founding
Optimistic regarding the dra- j
matic talent of the students in the
department she has come to Oregon
to conduct, Miss Florence E. Wil
bur, instructor in drama and play
production, announced yesterday a
tentative outline of her play pro
gram for the year. The new in
structor explained that thus far but
little of the program has been defin
itely worked out.
The upperclass division, Miss
Wilbur reported, is planning to put
on a series of three one-act plays
very soon, the first, a ' comedy,
“Monday, a Lame Minuet,” by Al
fred Kreynborg; then, a fantasy,
“Aria Da Capo,” by Edna St. Vin
cent Millay, who is said by some
critics to be the best American
playwright; and third, a more seri1
ous production, “Riders to the Sea,”
an Irish play by Yeats.
“Monday, a Lame Minuet,” she
expjained, was an entirely new at
tempt by Alfred Kreynborg, a poet,
who believes in. free verse as a
means to developing a certain
musical sense. This gives the play
rather to movement than to dra
matic action and although it has
no musical aceompatiiment there is
a suggestion of a Scherzo-like
theme.
“My beginning classes are un
usually intelligent, alert, and inter
ested,” Miss Wilbur declared.
“Their pantomimic work is really
very good, and we are planning to
put on some plays of this type dur
ing the year.” An interesting fea
ture, she added, would be the pro:
duction of a group of one-act plays
written by students of the Univer
sity which, she thinks, will be a
stimulus to creative work in such
departments as well as great assis
tance to the students themselves.
Miss Wilbur is a graduate of Cor
nell University and very recently
has been director of the drama ex
tension of the Community Arts
Association. She has had unusual
experience as a professional direc
tor of plays.

PETRIFIED TREE TRUNKS
ARE LURING GEOLOGISTS
Fossil tree trunks near Jasper,
together with other evidences of
the geologic age of the region, are
the attraction which is leading an
excursion of about 200 members of
Dr. Earl L. Packard’s general geo
logy class on, a field trip this morn
ing. Since the announcements in
class, plans have been changed and
the trip will be made by special
train on the Southern Pacific,
leaving at 8:30 from the siding
alongside the University heating
plant. The return is to be made
by 1:00 o’clock, in time for the
football game.
The expense of the trip will be
70 cents for each member of the
class who goes.

A large collection of slides of the
Hawaiian Islands was sfiown to the

made a thorough study of the vol

rim of the great crater pftt of
Kilauea,^ according to Dr. Smith.
The highly developed agricul

were also told of by the speaker.
“The plantations specialize in the
production of pineapple and sugar
cane,” he said.
TRAFFIC ON AVENUE
DISTURBS CLASSES
Number of Campus Cars
Greatly Increased
The number of cars on the cam
pus has taken a decided increase
as is shown by the crowded condi
tion of the parking space west of
the Administration building and the
streets where parking is permitted.
As usual, most of the student-owned
cars are Fords, although there are
not so many of the one-lung type, I
which became so popular last year.
They will probably become more
numerous, however, as the year
progresses: and many of those now
fairly decent looking will be rated
as heaps after they have weathered
several of the winter’s storms.
Traffic on Thirteenth avenue is
unusually heavy, it being a main
thoroughfare of the city in addition
tt» being’the center of the campus.
Much of the congestion is caused by
cars going to and coming from, the
Pacific highway, east of the cam
pus. At times there is so much
noise that classes are disturbedein
the University buildings.
The parking lot west of the Ad
ministration building is thei only
one of its kind on the campus. It
was ^constructed last year. Prior
to that time, car . owners were
obliged to find parking space wher
ever they could, which was usually
on the side streets adjoining the
campus.
For the convenience of autoists
who are not acquainted with the
streets of the campus, a sign has
been placed on the corner of Uni
versity street and Thirteenth ave
nue indieating that University
street ends one block east.
GIRLS’ RIFLE PRACTICE
TO COMMENCE AT ONCE
Practice for women’s riflery will
begin immediately- according to
Thelma, Sandstrom, head of wom
en’s riflery. Any woman in the
University who wishes to try out
for the Varsity team this fall may
do so by communicating with Miss
Sandstrom at Kappa Kappa Gamma
house, phone 204, today or Monday.
The best scores made this fall
will determine the selection of the
Varsity team, to be formed this j
winter term. Practice will be held
on Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00
to 12:00 at the R. O. T. C. bar
racks.
EIGHT DAY WEEK, PLEA
OF BIOLOGY FACULTY
An eight day week is the thing
the biology department needs most,
according to Mrs. Yocom, who is in
charge of the laboratory work. This
year’s biology class of 205 students,
most of them freshmen, is the larg
est one since 1921-22.
The equipment and laboratory
space ' is adequate for only 160
people. Because of this limitation
extra laboratory periods are given
Thursday and Saturday mornings.
Instead of emphasizing special
problems, as has been the policy
formerly, the staff plans to deal
with basic information this year.

the Vandals enter the game prob
ably the strongest they will be dur
ing the season. Whereas Oregon
will not be playing in top form for
a couple of weeks. That is due to
the new system now used and the
mass of material which had to be
jvorked over.
The Vandals are cocky. The
team has been pointed for weeks
for this game. They have been
generating enthusiasm for days up
at the Gem State institution. In
the Idaho-College of Idaho game
where the Vandals barely missed
defeat by a 16 to 14 score the train
load of rooters wore caps with the
slogan, “Idaho 14, Oregon 0.”
Watch Harry Reget, the 132
pound, flash, who passes, punts,
runs the ball and is the brains of
the outfit. Their offense is built
around this shifty little back. If
he is knocked off his pins the team
is liable to go to pieces. The' fast,
long passing, chance taking attack
that is expected of the visitors will
be in Reget’s hands. He has a
couple of able receivers in Nelson
and Erickson, on the wings.
Watch Jones Go
Watch Locomotive Jones, 185
pounds of drive and Louise Ander
son, consistent, steady, /veteran
field general who will pilot the
team Then there is the new man
in the backfield; Beryl Hodgens,
170 pound plunger who gets his
first dose of conference football.
George Mimnaugh, punter and pas
ser fills the other halfback berth.
Ready to go in will be Vic Wetzel,
a consistent kicker, fast as a dash
man on his feet and with 189
pounds of weight to give him pow
tr. Otto Vitus, veteran of first
year will probably get the full-back
call. Altho ten pounds heavier than
last year he remains the fast man
in the backfield. Red Langworthy,
tough and why, is the other half
back alternate.
Line Is Experienced
The line is tried and experienced
from end to end. Bob Mautz, Bert
Kerns. Ken Bailey, Carl Johnson,
Gene Shields, A1 Sinclair and Sherm
Smith are the crew from right to
left. All are lettermen, averaging
just a little under 180 pounds in
weight and with from one to two
years experience. They have the
new system of line play that Baz
Williams has been drilling into
them for five weeks. That group
of forwards should be a stonewall.

“PIPE THIS,” SAYS OBAK
i
“Become a man and put away
childish things.” This was the
text of Dean Obak’s assembly
speech today, when-he address
ed the Obak student body.
“Childish things,” in this case
proved to be cigarettes and
Wallace offers as a necessary
substitute a nice long angling
pipe.
“What is more collegiate,”
he-asked the student body, than
a long, gleaming, slender-stam
mjed pipe protruding f r o m
firm, square cut young lips.”
The pipe, he claims, marks the
college man. Today, when it
is no special male attribute to
smoke cigarettes, the pipe is
becoming more and more the;
Vogue.
The proposed plan of the
Obak student body, namely,
that of compulsory piple use
was discussed by several im
portant men of the Obak cam
pus.
“Why did Obak’s move up
stairs?” That is a question
that has puzzled many prom
inent followers of the happen
I
ings of the Avenue.—This is
the secret. Obak did it to es
cape the Co-ed. Prom the time
the institution started it has
been a school for men and with
the invasion of the Barber
Shop and other refuges of the
male, t lie authorities became
alarmed and decided to move
toa snore remote section. The
upstairs den for men is seldom
molested by the fair co-ed as
was the case before. The re
gents believe that were it not
for this move the place would :
have demoralized into a sort of
feminine club.
When a bunch of girls get
together I always pity the first
one to leave.

ANNE DARLING:
I have just managed to get sort
of settled and down to work.
But, my dear, I have eight
o ’elock *r*issof three tnoirnings
during the week, and if you re
member how terribly hard it is
for me to get up, you will prob
ably wonder how I ever manage
to arrive on time. Well, the
great solution is—I have an
alarm clock, the biggest bargain
at the Red Cross Drug Store, for
only $1.39.
I ran down to the Co-ed Bar
ber Shop yesterday between
classes to get my hair trimmed.
Shagginess is certainly an unfor
giveable sin, especially when this
shop is so close to the campus. It
is an ideal place in every way—
handy, just back of the Co-op,
exclusively for w’omen, and has
expert barbers, who always give
you the right cut. Hardly any
one goes to town for hair-cuts
anymore.
* * #
While we were uptown yester
day, we stopped at the Cosme
tician, as Jane wanted a sham
poo and curl. It’s in the new1
Eugene hotel, you know, and we
certainly admired the beautiful
furnishings. The color scheme is
so restful, soft violet, with green
and gold, and the merest touch
of vermilion red. While we were
waiting for Jane, Mrs. B. Piper
Bell, in charge of the shop, shout
ed us some lovely powder puffs,
with hand-painted faces on them.
You should see the darling im
nnrted velour hats they have at
tlie Style Shop
just right for
campus wear. I
bought a copper
colored one, with
a cut brim and
the cleverest bow.' Frances, who
is tall and slim, got one in the
new pirate shape, in a lovely
wood brown. The vagabond
shapes seem very popular this
fall, too.
• * * *
Found an awfully clever motto
for my desk. One of Edgar
Guest’s witty bits, wfliich are so
amusing. Discovered this at a
new place, the Eugene Art and
Gift Shop, on West 10th. And
the best part of these mottoes
are the little pegs which make
them easy to set around on
tables and desks.
We’re having quests at the
house Saturday for the football
game, and are going to give ’em
a feed Saturday night. We’ve
ordered home-made huckleberry
pies from Underwood A Elliott’s
who, 1 v the wray, are going to
move into their fine new building
within a week or two. They
have the dandiest Bain bow sand
wich filling, too, made of ripe
olives, pickles, mayonnaise and
everything else that’s good.
# * *
We’ve ordered our ham for the
feed at the Palace Market. It’s
the best place near the campus
to get meat, right by Underwood
and Elliott’s grocery. We know
they have the very best quality,
because all their meat is govern
ment inspected; so you see there
Having had quite damp weath
er lately, and also a heavy date |
is no danger of getting any hor
rid old germs from it. So many
of the houses buy all their meat
there, because they are always
sure of good service and excel
lent quality.
with such a clever:;
•hap this evening,
decided to have a
new marcel for
the occasion. Went
to Hasting Sis
ters, «uo nave a new place or
business in the Miner building.
You know they used to bo in the
Register building, farther up
town.
And the best surprise when I
got back—an adorable pot of j
fivns from the chap I mentioned.!
I suppose he thought I was hint I
ing the other night when I raved,
about needing something green ;
in my room. From the best flor
ist in town, too—Raup’s. I was'
certainly pleased, and we got J
along famously that evening. Will
write again next week.
Always,
CAROL.
