Obak’s Kollege Krier OBAK WALLACE—Editor and chief R. E. C. office durably Number T I Volumn V Bernard Shaw Refuses Nobel Prize of $35,000 Author Suggests Amount | Strengthen Literary Relationships George Bernard Shaw, English writer, was recently announced »s winner of the Nobel prize for litera ture. He accepted this honor which was conferred upon him but the $35, 000 which is included, he felt could be used to a better advantage. His suggestion was that it go toward a foundation to establish closer lit erary relations between the British Isles and the Scandinavian coun tries. Shaw has stimulated thought on many things. One might even say that he prepared the way for H. L. Mencken, although Shaw, in pre senting his ideas in plays, is more clever than Mencken, who express es himself by way of his essays. ’ ’ Dr. C. V. Boyer, head of the de partment of English, answered the reporter’s question on the influence of the new Nobel prize winner. “Yes, Shaw is very clever to succeed in presenting so-called propaganda in an entertaining way. He can make people laugh while he is lashing them. And the remark able thing about Shaw’s skill ui that his propaganda has not spoiled his plays. “Shaw has probably not been influential in the technical form of the drama. He is no innovator of forms. 4 “He is not a questioner of fun damental morality; rather he satir izes the convention in which it is expressed. Carlyle did something of the same kind but in a different manner. ’ ’ “Shaw is a great European fig Vf, one of the few English writers to attain this standing, and the award of the prize is deserved,” in the estimation of Professor Smith. “The popular idea that Shaw is"a mere salesman of ideas and a satir ist is a mistake,” continued Mr. Smith. “Shaw is that, but he is also one of the best of stage me chanics. His wit also carries across his long-winded discussions on mor- i als.” Shaw is one of the three or four recent authors • who has had the most considerable influence on the moral ideas of the times, thinks Professor Smith. He added that Shaw has been a persistent propa gandist and, although having held only one minor office, has been much more active politically than people in the United States appre ciate. Shaw’s works also carry well in translation into other languages although he loses a little of his firecracker style, in the opinion of Professor Smith. “Shaw also deserves the prize because he has been a man of re markable public courage, especially during the World war,” concluded Professor Smith. “He was one of the few authors not carried away by war hysteria,” i Rally (Continued from page one) and Oregon fight will keep the Ag gies from going through the line,” said Williams. Coach Promises Fight Coach John J. McEwan was the last of the speakers. The eaptain • said he purposely kept the Oregon team away from the raliy because what he said generally didn’t have very much effect upon them. “I went to O. A. C. today and the field was just as wet as ours, if not wet ter. The team is ready for the game and determined to win. The O. A. C. game generally marks the success or failure of a season and we hope 1 to win. All the players are in good . condition except Woodie. We’re ■ going in the game as underdogs but - we’ll fight to the last ditch,” said I the coach. I A dance by Ed Cheney, a song by Joe Lucas and several piano solos ( by Abbie Green ended the rally to gether with the singing of “Mighty Oregon.” Train Urged for Trip 1 To O. A. C. by Director A letter has been received from W. A. Kearns, director of athletics and physical education at O. A. C., encouraging the students to make the trip to the game by train, as there were a number of serious ac cidents in making the trip last year. “In the past three years,” Mr. Kearns writes, “some of us on the O. A. C. campus who have safety of students during their activities more especially in mind, have be come convinced that the logical pro cedure from every standpoint is for ns to encourage the students to make these trips by train.” Landing platforms and cinder walks have been constructed be tween the track and Bell field, and every other means possible have been taken to encourage this meth od of transportation. 1 J 8 rDon’t Stop Believin Advice of St By RUTH NEWTON “You know,” said the modishly attired co-ed, “I really believed in fairies—while you were telling about them! ” Maintaining her beautiful and animate calm, Miss Ella Young, noted Irish poet, replied quietly, “You don’t have to quit believing in them when I quit talking about them.” And the astonishing thing about it was that we all realized quite suddenly that she actually meant it. Up to this point, we had all thought her to be doing some j highbrow and symbolic fooling. Po-1 lite murmurs went around the j group. There was, obviously, no de- J cent answer one could make to this amazing person, who had addressed the University assembly a few hours before. And yet everyone in the room waS drawn irresistibly toward the chair I where this strangely vivid woman sat. She had spoken of one of the Irish poets as “being capable of looking uniquely like no one else.” Certainly she possessed that quality. Her white hair, drawn back severe ly, revealed a face that changed subtly from one radiating with Irish good humor, to the face of a mystic, a seeress. She had just finished tell Frosh First and Third Teams Win Swimming Meet Held Yesterday The freshman first and third teams were the winners in a double swim ming meet with the freshman fourth and sophomore second teams last night. The scores stood 44 for the freshman first team against 12 for the freshman fourth, and 38 for the freshman third team to 30 for the sophomore second.

We felt that she had, in these stories, revealed herself. We wanted to talk to her. But she had relapsed into the baffling mys tery- that she is, although she was gracious to everyone, and talked impartially to all who came. That she believed in fairies sud denly seemed to me of small conse quence, for she has something far more important than that. She is essentially a mystic, and in Amer ica, she is like the proverbial square peg in the round hole. “In Ireland,” she said, “you never ask foreigners about themselves. It is impolite to display curiosity, but if they ask about anything, you more than go out of. your way to show them.” But Americans are frankly curious, and I think she understood it. “America needs mysticism,” she said. “Poetry is not taken seriously by any great number of people here. The old Celtic people were the only ones ever to put a poet on the same plane with a king. Long ago there was the king \ th certain rights and income, and there was the king’s poet with the same rights and in come.” Jane Thacher to Give Informal Talk Sunday On French Composer Cesar Francke, French composer, is to be the subject of an informal talk by Mrs. Jane Thacher, instruct or of piano, Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock in the studio of Mrs. Prudence Clark at the music build ing. The, affair is being sponsored by Mu Phi Upsilon, national hon orary music fraternity for women, and is open to the public. Music students are especially invited. This talk is in anticipation of the first of the series of three concerts to be given by the Underwood String Quartet, under the auspices of Mu Phi Upsilon, for Mrs. Thach er is to play an additional number, and she has chosen a composition of Cesar Francke. This first concert will be given December first, in, the music auditorium. For the other two of the series of concerts, John Stark Evans, as sistant dean of the school of music, and George Hopkins, professor of music, have been chosen to give spe cial numbers.

The Taffy Tavern 833 Willamette REX Continuous LAST 1 to 11 P. M. DAY '‘TILE CAMPUS FLIRT” WITH CHARLIE PADDOCK “World’s Fastest Human’’ Comedy Chosen By Miss Wilbur As Guild Play Rovall Tyler’s “Contrast,” Written in 1787, to Be December 1, 2, 3 A professional company, playing in the old John Street theater in New York. April 16, 1787, produced '‘Contrast,” the first American com edy written bv Rovall Tyler, an American author. The play proved successful from the first and was later produced in Boston and Phila delphia theaters. This play has been selected by Miss Florence E. Wilbur, head of the drama and play production de partment, as the first long play of the term to be put on by the Guild Theater Players, December 1, 2 and 3. “Contrast” is of special signi ficance in introducing to our stage the character of “Jonathan,” the shrewd yet uncultivated type of New England farmer, which has since become known as the “Stage Yankee.” The central theme of the play is the contrast between na tive and foreign manners. For the first time in the Northwest, the customs and theatrical atmosphere of two centuries ago will be brought before an audience. For a long period in the nine teenth century the play was not pro duced extensively but was revived in 1912 when it was given in con nection with a three-day pageant at Brattleford, Vermont. Cornell university gave “Contrast” as the opening production in its new stu dent .theater last fall. The play was so successful that it was repeated in the winter. The author of the play, Royall Tyler, was a graduate of Harvard. He served as aide-de-camp during the Revolutionary war and later in Shay’s rebellion. , Pledging Announcement Kappa Omicron announces the pledging of Marjorie Allen of* Ta coma, Washington.
