Dramatic Class To Present Play By Oscar Wilde 6Lady Windeinere’s Fan’ Set for Thursday And Friday Vivacity, Color, Modernism Will Be Featured Elegance, English aristocracy, magnificent dresses, stunning women and musical atmosphere will be wov en ifito Oscar Wilde’s play, “Lady Windmerc’s Fan,” one of the most popular social satires of the stage, which is to be presented Thursday and Friday evenings by members of the dramatic interpretation class at Guild Theatre. The play will not be unique. All the gruesome futurism and eccen tricity featured in the recent pro duction of R. U. K., will be supple mented by a contrast, giving play to vivacity, color, and modernism. From a glimpse into one of the re hearsalf, there is every reason to expect some unusually good charac ter work this week end. The loads are difficult to pick out, since each member of the cast is making his role a lead. Mary Duck ett will switch from the position ■of stage manager to the role of Mrs. Erlynne, an outstanding character lead. A Chanel designed gown will be worn by Mrs. Erlynne in the sec ond act, and an elaborate Chinese negligee will be employed in the cos tuming for the fourth act. Lady Windcmere is being played by Helen Allen and opposite her is Merrill Swenson in the role of Lord Windcmere. Hugh Logan, ns Lord Darlington, provides the eternally interesting third party. Listening to rehearsals, one wonders just where true Oregonians over learned the ar tistic inflections of the English man ’s speech. Harriett Hawkins, as the Duchess of Berwick, is able tr fondle her long rope of pearls in a manner that corresponds perfectly to the tone of voice which would be used in a duch ess ’ role. There is a freshness, ease, and an unusual interest shown by all the members of the east, which, coupled with the colorful staging and musi cal background, is indicative of suc cess. ' Tickets may be secured at the Guild Theatre box office today and reservations may be made by calling 142, according to J. Alden Wood worth, business manager. The box office will be open between 2 and 5 o'clock Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Oregon Comes Out Victorious in Meet At Corvallis Campus Johnny Anderson, speedy swim merchant from Bridgeport, Connec ticut, broke a Pacific Coast record and was the biggest factor in Ore gon’s 44-25 victory over Oregon State last Saturday at Corvallis. The O. S.

Anderson ’s record was made in the 50-yard dash which he flash ed off in 25.6. He made a new mark ir. the Pacific Northwest 100-vard dash, but this was not. allowed be cause it was not made in an Ameri can Athletic Union meet. The first event of the mord, the relay, put O. R. 0. ahead 6-0, but it was not long until Oregon had the lead. In the 50-yard dash Anderson barely nosed out Johnson of Oregon State in an exciting race. Charles Silverman won the 440 easily, coming in a half length ahead of Hover, O. S. (!., distance man. Other Oregon first were Smith in the 200 yard breast stroke; Me Alpin in the 150 yard back stroke and Silverman in the 220. First Earth Is Turned By Dr. Hall, and Work On New Dorm Starts Actual work of excavating on the property for the men’s new dormi tory began at 10:30 yesterday when Arnold Bennett Hall, president of the University, turned the first shovel of earth for the project. A group of. University officials witnessed tho ceremony, including Karl Onthank, executive secretary of the University; Lewis Johnson, comptroller; Edna Datson Davis, di rector of the halls of residence, and Dean Elmer L. Shirrell. The excavation contract has been let to A. (2 Mathews. The dormi tory will tie erected on the western half of the block between Four teenth and Fifteenth on Onyx and Emerald, across from the tennis courts. Lawrence and Hosford, architects, are now advertising for bids on the general building contract. Rooks Down Frosli In Final Hoop Contest In their last hoop game of the season, Saturday night at Corvillis, the duckling cagers lost to the Ag gie rooks in the final minutes of play, 26 to 23. The score was tied five times throughout the tilt. Frosh baskctcers led at half-time, 15 to 10; but in the last period the rooks became “whirling dervishes,” according to press reports, and en gulfed the Oregon infant with an avalanche of baskets that finally de cided the game. Dvorak and din ger were high scorers for the frosh with nine and seven points respec tively. Coach Leslie Meets Duckling Batterymen Freshman battery practice start ed yesterday when about a dozen pitchers and catchers reported to Coach Spike Leslie in McArthur court. Leslie has disbanded his frosh hoop squad and will now turn his attention to yearling diamond activities. A general call for freshman base ball will be issued about March 1, according to Leslie. At present he wants the pitchers to begin limber ing np their arms to be ready for regular practice later. The frosh will work out indoors in the Igloo for a while, until the entire squad is out and batting prac tice is instituted. Faculty (Contitiucil from page one). year will avoid any pronounced trend toward narrow specialization and will represent rather an intro duction to a field of knowledge broader in scope than any present I department, while at the same time j serving as an apprenticeship in | methods appropriate to any field of j investigation. Heretofore the college has been j divided into departments and stu I dents would choose a major from i these, as in English, mathematics or I geology. The departments will con- | tinue but will only have actual jurisdiction over students during ' the last two years and in graduate work. The college departments, for the purpose of facilitating the new system, will be affiliated into grofips. Group one will be language and literature; group two, social science; group three, mathematics and physical science; group four, biological science. It is from these four that the students will select three-year courses from different groups. If they register in a pro fessional school, they will fulfill the lower division requirement in their school, and take two-year courses from different groups. For each of the four groups a chairman appointed by the presi | dent and a committee representa tive of all departments in the group are charged with the task of for mulating a lower division curricu lum. The proposed legislation will necessitate a change in the present advisory system for first and sec ond year students. A committee on admissions will be organized to cor respond with prospective students before they come to the campus and o^dcgvor. in so far as possible j to give them friendly instruction and advice that will enable them tor make important decisions so that they can. be advised properly when they arrive on the campus. After arrival they will be assigned to the chairman of the group or the dean of the school in which they have indicated their principal interest and this chairman will dis tribute them to individual advisers who have been selected for this particular work bv reason of their special humanistic qualifieafions. A technical adviser will be pro vided by the registrar’s office, and simplification of the registration and keeping of grade records is ex pected to be carried out.

This jobbie Diogenes was a Greek who left his fruit stand for the commend able purpose of questing for honesty by good old-fashioned lamp-light. And now, loud and ever clearer, rings the cry from the housetops: “Diogenes — throw away your lantern . . . here’s an honest cigarette! Have a Camel!” Camels have but one raison d’ etre—to pack the smoke-spots of the world with the “fill-fullmcnt” every experienced smoker seeks. Fill your own smoke-spot with a cool cloud of Camel smoke, and hear it sing out_ “Eureka!” (from the Creek, '’Eureka,” meaning—"Oboy, here ’tis!”). Oms R. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY, Winston-Salem.
