Tlie admission price is 50 and 75 cents, and all seats are to bo reserved. “We expect the play,” said Mrs. Seybolt, “to draw an especial amount of interest since many of the characters have been chosen from students outside of the Guild Hail players and the drama depart Wcbfoot Hoops tors Open Season 11 it h Bearcats Here is the Webfoot Varsity which will play Willamette tonight in McArthur court at 7:30 o'clock.

Key Hughes, Howard Uberlmrt, and Keith Kmmons show up well, but only Clift' Horner of last year's finish team displays any promise among the sophomore candidates. Oregon made a clean sweep of the Willamette series last year, but the opposition will be tougher to night, according to Reinhart. Scales, a star with the Portland Checker boards and franklin high of Port land, is one of the I’earcats’ scoring aces. Cardinal, center, an si 11 - northwest conference selection last, year, is back in the lineup. Adams, ■I.itclifiehl and Houck complete the Willamet Ie eombination. Successful So Far So far the Wobfoots have been successful in their pro-season drive, but. they are far from conference form. Their team work is slowly forming and by the time the season opens in Seattle against the Wash ington Huskies. Oregon should be in good shape. The Checkerboards wore defeated -111 to ii I and the Multnomah club quint turned back 50 to 19.

The Heavers played a two game series wit 11 the Heareats Thursday and Friday nights. The Aggie out fit won the first, game by a close score. Idaho so far is not faring so well and lost to Hllingsliurg Normal. The Vandal regulars, however, were out. of the game with the flu.

Modern Girl is Happier Than Her Grandmother, Says Dean of W omen By MARY McLEAN “Happiness cannot be measured in terms of generations,” answered Miss Hazel i’rutsman, acting dean of women, when asked which she considers tlie happier—the woman of today, or her grandmother. “I think Mrs. Bertrand Russell, in writing the article for the Forum, ‘Are We Happier Than Our Grandmothers!’ has presented her side of, the debate very logically and fairly. Mrs. Cora Harris, who takes the opposite side of the question, has judged all wom en by only a small number. “Mrs. Harris says the modern girl is always doing something, never content to sit still for a mo ment but why isn’t that what she should do?” continued the dean of women. Tlie represontat’ve girl of today is the one who is busy, living life in us interesting a fashion as she can, taking an interest in the things that concern here, and busi ness, politics, and world events as well.” Happiness isn’t a pursuit, Miss Prutsman thinks; it is more the re sult and the reward of pursuit. It is something in our nature that en ables us to be happy—and because the women of today have so many more advantages, so many more of the things that make for happiness, they are happier than the girls and women of two generations ago.
