Number 2 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. EDNA SPENKER NEW CQSMOPLITAN HEAD Social Evening Planned For Thursday Night Edna Spenker, was elected presi dent of the Cosmopolitan club, Thursday night, to fill the vacancy left in the staff by the recent resig nation of Miss Andree Pellion.

The highly developed agricul tural methods used in the islands 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. Classified Ads FOUND—A To-Ko-Lo- Pin, by Su san Campbell Hall.

HEILIG THEATRE, MONDAY, OCTOBER 12th NOT A MOTION PICTURE All Star Cast Includes: Mrs. Frank Bacon, Thos. Jefferson, Bessie Bacon, and Others Same Prices Prevail as in San Francisco $2.00, $1.50, $1.00, 50c—Plus Tax 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.

DOVER CHARGE $1.25 PER COUPLE DANCING 8:30 ene Hotel Grille PHONE 2000 FOR RESERVATIONS “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. jferol foctl 'commentfT or^ L J&vgcfye- ffijo. 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.
