Douglas Wilson, in charge of the ticket sale said yesterday: “The tickets are selling rapidly but there are quite a number left. I do not think the men realize that they are to send invitations to the women and chat these formal bids cannot be obtained without the purchase of a ticket. I would urge all men to --- get their tickets now, rather than at the last minute in order to send the bids out before Saturday.” Margaret Stahl has completed the list of patrons and patronesses: Govenor Walter M. Pierce; Bishop and Mrs. Walter T. Sumner; Mrs. Virginia Esterly; Dean and Mrs. Dean Walker; Mr. and Mj-s. Karl Onthank; Dean and Mrs. John Straub; Mr. and Mrs. L. H. John son; Professor and Mrs. E.

Dili DEPARTMENT RECEIVES RECOGNITION Guild Hall Players Asked to National Tournament Tho University of Oregon’s dra ma and play production department have received recognition among the Little Theatre groups through out tho country. Miss Florence E. Wilbur recently received a letter, asking for a representation of Guild hall players in a one act play which would be presented at the annual national Little Theatre Tournament 1920 which will be held in Now York City during the week of May at a Broadw.ay theatre, conduct ed under tho auspices of the Man hattan Little Theatre Club. Four one-act plays will be pro duced each evening by four differ ent Little Theatre groups for five evenings, until 20 presentations have been shown. Fivo judges will witness these productions and select four out of the 20 plays shown as the best plays presented, judged according to a standard set as fol lows: 50 per cent for presentation, meaning “interpretation” or “how well the idea of the play is gotten ovor;” 20 per cent for acting; 15 per cent for setting; and 10 per cent for selection of play. The best play out of these four will then be chosen, and at the Saturday evening performance tho David Belasco Cup will bo awarded the winners. The contest is open to all Little Theatre non-professional groups. This is to be interpreted as meaning that no professional actors shall be employ ed in the presentations. The first Little Theatre Tourna ment was held in New York City at the Bayes Theatre in 1923. The East-West players of Manhattan won the David Belasco Cup for their production of “The Little Stone House,” by George Calderon.

DeBroekert, a freshman, who is taking observations for the weath er bureau, reported that he had no velocimeter. but that his well-con structed wireless aerial had been 1 blown down. C. J.
