Phones—Editor, 1320; Manager, 721. _______ Day Editor—Claudia Fletcher Night Editor—Ronald Sellers Assistant—Bill Haggerty First Public Appearance Of The Dramatic Department The three one-act. plays to he presented at the Guild Theatre Wednesday night will be the first of the year, and they will also be the first productions under Miss Florence E. Wilbur, who is in charge of dramatic work on the campus. Needless to say we are looking forward to this presentation with some interest, no,t only for those reasons but because of the quality of the plays to be given. One, “Aria Da Capo, by Edna St. Vincent Millay has been declared by European critics tobe the best one-act play written by an American, and another, “Eiders to the Sea,” by John Millington Synge, has also been called one of the best of its kind. These three plays will mark a distinct departure in Guild Theatre dramatics. Productions this year will be of the type made popular by the “Little Theatre” movement throughout the country and the casts will be selected entirely from among the students. The new instructor comes well qualified to. direct this work. After reviving and heading the dramatic company at Cornell, Miss Wilbur worked for some time under Maurice Brown. New York producer, having complete charge of, his plays given at the Greenwich Village Theatre. It was through connections in the East that Miss Wilbur was able to secure the plays to be produced here. She has since worked with the Community Arts association of Santa Barbara, California, as director, Avhere the Carnegie Institute is giving financial backing to further artistic interest in play production. Considering the high quality of the plays selected and the exceptional experience of Miss Wilbur, together with the fact that she has stated that the material she has found for casts has been all that she desired, we feel that Wednesday evening will well be worth attending. It is to be hoped that the new drama and play production department may make its debut to an overflowing House.—II. A. E. Congratulations Due Conference Committee The Emerald wishes to add its hearty approbation to the following note from the president’s office: “On behalf of the University staff I should like to ex press through your columns the appreciation of the Uni versity staff for the excellent high school conference just held under the auspices of the Associated Students. The chairman and the committee in charge deserve special praise for the extraordinarily good organization and man agement of the program and arrangements. That the dele gates appreciated the cordial hospitality of the students was evident. The conference is of very real service to the high schools and indirectly to the University. Students are to be congratulated upon its success.” KAEL W. ONTIIANK. Executive Secretary. All Oregon Bazaar To Be Concluded at Portland There will be a two-day sale of things left over from the fAll-Oregon 1925 Exposition and Bazaar at Hotel Portland De cember 21st and 22nd in (lie assembly room from 9:00 a. m. to 9:00 p. m. There are many books by Oregon authors, Christmas cards and paintings by Oregon artists which will be sold at that time, as well as much fancy work and food, for the bene fit of the Fine Arts Building at the University, which is to be President Campbell’s memorial. The Oregon alumni are chiefly responsible for the work of making this sale a success and they tare counting very largely on the generous cooperation of the University students who will be home for the holidays. It is hoped that all the students living in Portland will interest their parents in bringing in food to the food sale and that the stu dents themselves will attend the sale and that as many of the girls as possible will report for duty as salesgirls, waitresses and general helpers from 9:00 a. m. to 9:00 p. m. these two days. There will be opportunities to learn what the future holds in the way of handsome husbands, successful careers in the movies and other prophecies for the future, all this by members of the Divination Club who dispensed so much wisdom about the future at the big exposition. Tickets for the Christmas College Ball will be on sale there and every effort will be made by this one University activity to help the other.—I. H. G. -,1 Campus Bulletin | University postal authorities re quest that students refrain from placing Red Cross Christmas seals on the address sido of mail.

Thus, we may seo our director of athletics telling himself, with a faint ironic accent, how much ho can spend for the team’s socks, hastening over to the drug storo to buy a nickle’s worth of arnica, and getting over to the field again, just in time to admonish Jones to “hit ’em low.” Campus astutes may discern a prophecy in tho following Emerald sports story, reprinted in tho Oregonian yester day: “Earl can do no actual hiring or selecting. Ho has made every effort to recommend the best man avail able and has presented his name along with tho other possibilities to tho athletic committee of the A. S. U. O.” The news picture today is of the Pi Phi kitchen range taken during the recent strike of the cook. All the girls prepared their own meals and could have anything they wanted. The larg est pot is corned beef and cab bage for Helen McGee, two more are hard boiled eggs for Julia Kauffman, the tea kettle is heating water to thaw out Max ine Edmonds, and the little kettlo is tea. ************* * FAMOUS LAST WORDS * * “Yes, I’m from Washington, * * but I never heard of Tesreau or * * George Wilson. * ************* BULLY!

ROBERT .TACKSON What has become of the old-fash ioned boy who used to enjoy throw ing kisses'? * • »• SO’S YOUR PAPA I U. HOSAPAT. 'I ,---; Communications Ta the Editor of the Emerald, And Other Veterans. Dear Mr. Miller: Indeed I am sorry to have so grossly overlooked your extensive service record. Your qualifications as a critic of the military are fully accepted. Further let me apologize for overlooking the considerable compliment bestowed upon myself and brother cadet officers by your editorial of December 4. Your military experience has no doubt shown you that Napoleon’s retreat from Bussia is a classic of military tactics; to compare a soldier to the troops of Marshal Ney’s rear guard is the highest of professional com pliments—almost too much for a mere cadet. No doubt you also know, through your military exper ience, that the text book discussed in your editorial as being used at New York University is really not an B. O. T. C. text book at all, for bayonet training is not given the college units. Just a little curiosity. Being a brother veteran of yourself, Gordon Wilson, Price Sulivan and Donald Breakey in the early cam paigns of the B. O. T. 0., will you lot mo ask one question about your service record? While drilling with a w*ooden gun at Walla Walla did you also have a wooden hobby-horse? You have cited Oswald Garrison Villard to support your arguments. I hardly remember, it has been so long ago, but was his record during the World War as patriotic as your own? I believe, Mr. Editor, that you are opposing the University of Oregon unit, singly, which ranks very high in Nihth Corps Area standing, instead of otfering a con structive criticism of the policy of National Defense which employs the B. O. T. C. And now, since it appears to be customary to offer opinions concern ing everything and anything in this column, without presuming to ques tion your ability or qualifications as the editor of this paper, may I ask: Does the editorial page of the Emerald show any constructive criticism, any original thought or mental ability; does it even present any representative humor ’of the campus? Praying that your wrath will not too heavily descend upon my head, HEBBEET B. POWELL. Boar Mr. Powell: I am somewhat at a loss as how to reply to your letter. If I should take you seriously the logical thing would be to shoot you, but since that is polite only when made proper by Congress, I dislike conducting myself in a manner that at the present moment would display such appalling ignorance of the conven tional. If I take you lightly, I should probably say, “Yes, we do publish the best humor. We run your letters regularly and confine tho rest of the wits to the Seven Seers.” If you aro confident that the Emerald readers wish to hear more of the R. O. T. 0., I propose that we schedule tho Great Argument for the first of next term, when wo shall have ample time to lend all forces to the battle. Unless we are reason ably well assured that the campus is vitally interested in the R. O. T. 0. I should feel hesitant in prolong ing the discussion. I am, however, entirely at your service in this mat ter; and as the Emerald has thrown the first stone, it will be delighted to throw some more*. Sincerely, EDWARD MILLER. PROFESSOR, HOW COULD YOU? The baseball controversy is bring ing out some interesting compari sons. Professionalism in the na tional pastime! Dear me, yes, and according to the letter to the Emer ald of our conference representative professionalism is its one besetting sin. Our baseball boys actually earn their way through college by playing the game during the sum mer They should be carrying mail or hewing trees; but to actually take money in return for services j rendered on the diamond—horrible! Why not be consistent in this I wage matter? Didn’t we applaud our debate star last year when he came back from the south some two hundred dollars richer? Don’t we encourage our singers to capitalize their voices in order to earn their way through college? Don’t we award coin of the realm to our journalists after they have written stories? Don’t we put up cash prizes for almost everything around here from slogan making to orator ical contests? Consistency, thou art not among us. BASEBALL FAN.
