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.”

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.

astutes may discern a prophecy in
tho following Emerald sports story,
reprinted in tho Oregonian yester

SO’S YOUR PAPA I
U. HOSAPAT.

,---;
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.
