4Road to Rome’ To Be Presented By Play-Reader Ruby Page Ferguson Will Give Satire Tuesday At Music Building A rare experience in dramatic in terpretation is promised in tlie play read ing of Ruby Page Ferguson (Mrs. Anthony Euwer), reader of national reputation who is being brought to the campus by Mask y and Buskin, local chapter of Xa t ional Collegiate Players, Tuesday, January 17, at the Music building. Miss Ferguson, whose method is said to be strikingly individual, natural, and free from all elocution ary mannerisms, will give “The Road to Romo,” by Robert Emmett Sher wood. The play, a satire, is at the present playing to capacity houses .in Xew York as the starring vehicle of Jane Cowl. The play promises to be one of the most enjoyable and popular interpretations of Miss Ferguson’s repertoire. Of the play Alexander Wolcott of the Xew York World says: “Masked in the gay trappings of genial satire, compounded of all the tasty syrups that lull and lure in the theater, it is a play that steals upon you un awares. 'The author busies himself with a fine, engaging comedy of Hannibal’s famous, truncated march down to the nervous walls of Rome and before you know it he has had liis day not about Hannibal especi ally, but about warriors flic world I around, about war, and in particular about the one which only a few short years ago was absorbing so much attention.” Miss Ferguson by means of a charming personality, a keen inr sight into character, a vivid imag ination and a rich voice, casts the illusion of the play over her audi ence and tills the empty stage with tlie persons of the play as the au thor has conceived them. It is a complete drama that Miss Fergu son presents in all tlie beauties and subtleties, that her convincing and powerful interpretation produces. Miss Ferguson will give her in terpretation in the auditorium of the Music building at 8 o’clock. A reception will bo held after the pre sentation! of the play' in the Musie building. Speakers are to be sent to fra ternity and sorority houses at noon to make announcements concerning the play presentat^pn. Maddox (Continued from page one) 111 a tie courtesy, some zealous Latin America patriot is going to spill the beans by bringing it up, and it requires only a two-thirds vote to do so. We may honestly sympathize with the State Department. It, has really had hard luck. Unjustifiable as may have been the original laud ing of marines nearly two years ago, the State Department did finally succeed in getting the leaders of both factions to agree to give up fighting and allow us to' guarantee an impartial election this year. The Liberal forties gave up their arms at $10 per musket and the army scattered—all except the youthful General Sandino, who either wanted more money or else more liberty. And he refuses to surrender. Mean while sixteen American marines and 500 Nicaraguans have been killed. The State Department in sists upon calling the latter “out Ou tlic Stage Geo. McMurphey and his KOLLEGE KNIGHTS At 8;50 “COLLEGIANS” FRANK OSWALD Paramount News “The Gorilla” — is Coming! = laws,” but the fact remains that they are human. The State De partment will not order withdrawal because of “national prestige,” and undoubtedly the marines with su perior forces will finally rout San dino out. Before that time several hundred more may have given their lives. And no war has been de clared! J. T. Hamilton Sees Value in Curricula Unity Correlation of Classroom And Outside Activities Recommended "Trying to correlate activities di rectly with the working class room bv organizing the class itself into a club and letting it initiate the work as a class projeet is the prob lem that I have been working on,” James T. Hamilton, superintendent of the Xcwbcrg high school, told advisors from high schools through out Oregon Friday at 2:30. Thus he added another phase of the prob lem, “Correlating Student Activities with the Curriculum,” before the group gathered in the Education building. “Parents often judge the school and grade it according to student activities. We use the type of activ ity that encourages classroom ex pression to take the place of a lit erary society or similar organiza tions. We try to make the atmo sphere of the classroom as lifelike as we can in order that students may have an opportunity of applying class leadership in a situation simi lar to what his outer school life will be. “We have a modified form of pro cedure that is a combination of su pervised study. This has evolved out of our experience with the Dal ton plan. One of the best tests of education results of the school is the way the student responds to actual life activity outside of it. The trouble in the classroom is the tendency to stop when the learning process is only part way completed. There is not a felt relationship in school and out.” “In the study of English and so cial Science,” Superintendent. Ham ilton said, “the class functions ns a club. The spirit of the English room can be as complete as any club spirit. Wo have a chairman and class organization, of officers like any club has. Fireside discus sions and banquets add interest to the course. This makes the class a pleasure and study a pleasure. In time, I hope the students can look upon the classroom as the incentive for or the help in lifelike situations outside of the home and can re member the classroom as ail aid in leadership in solving problems of their own.” See Me for Better Vision I Dr. Rental Qick OPTOMETRIST — OPTICIAN Next to First Nat’l. Bank President of Press Meet Advocates Contest for High School Papers Wilson Says Papers Should Be Trusted to Students W ith Faculty Editorial Supervision Dark-haired and grave, David G. \\ ilson, of Lincoln high school, Port land, president of the Oregon High school Press association, sat down and began to answer questions. Speaking quietly, but with con viction on subjects pertaining to high school papers, with a technical knowledge of press machinery and manipulation which shows evidcnco of study, ho discoursed on the sub ject of high school papers. "Of course I think the High School Press Conference is a great thing,” he said, "but it has always been my belief that something eould bo added to it by instituting a contest be tween high school papers. If they could have their papers judged in competition with other high schools and then, at the conference, have the papers on exhibit with notations and criticisms written on them, it would help a lot towards raising the standards of high school publica tions. Some award, a wooden shield or something like that, should be presented to the publishers of the best paper, but nothing elaborate would need to be given. “There is a widening out in the siope of the high school paper. In the last few years it has spread im mensely, and most of them are en tirely under student management, although in a few instances the fac ulty, has the most to say about what goes into the publication.” He was very earnest in his de fense of the student editors and managers. “I think that a student publication should be trusted en tirely into the hands of those who are elected to run them, with the faculty supervising, particularly in the editorial department, for the greatest danger of overstepping bounds lies there.” Wlilson was editor of the Lincoln High Cardinal last year, and is in terested in newspaper work. He will enter college next fall and ex pects to major in journalism. Caswell Will Speak On Theories of Light At Sigma Xi Meeting “Bridging the Great Gap in Phy sical Science” will be the topic of Ur. A. E. Caswell’s address to mem bers of- Sigma Xi at their meeting next Tuesday evening in Ueady Hall. The purpose of the talk, l)r. Cas well states, is to .explain in terms the non-physieists can understand the two great problems in connection with light. Some believe, he said, that light consists of wave motions in ether, while others are inclined towards the the’ory that light is made up of energy in pellets, shot off from luminous objects in a straight line like bullets out of a machine gun. Both theories are upset by each other, Dr. Caswell believes. Last year there were a number of at telrtpth 'mattt; especially- in Germany, to reconcile the two theories. In i his lecture Tuesday night, Dr. Cas- ' well will discuss these attempts. BELL Theatre Spring-field SUNDAY Come on Over for Your Sunday Show !i£s8S< % SMALL BAOII wtU MIMA KIMT TODAY AND .

At any rate, 380 books were circulated on Saturday. This was more than was circulated the Saturday before fall exams. Only 2">8 were recordod on December 10, the last Saturday of the fall term. The number of books circulated the first Saturday in January, 1937, was only 337, records show.
