the assembly 1(111111 of Villard hall
yesterday afiornoifn and demon

t In-i r dancing abilities before the
judges, who sa! wideeyed and open
mouthed in the room below, mark
inj; down tlie particular charms of
each one.
(lirls from approximately two
thirds of the women's houses on
the campus tried out for positions
in the beauty and pony choruses
of “Oh I tear,” the musical comedy
to he presented under the auspices
of the junior class May it and I.
It was decided that the contestants
would not lie reipiircd lo sing, as
was previously announced, and they
were judged solely on the basis of
I heir dancing.
Independent men and women who
wish to try out for parts in the
Junior Vodvil may do so today.
Members of the remainder of tin'
women’s houses and of part of the
men’s are scheduled to appear
All Her Life She Wished for Her
Oivn Bungalow With Little Garden
By It. N.
All lior life slip wanted a house
wit 11 a. garden. Ami now Hint she
has come nil the way from Paris
to Oregon slip lias found it. Pound
it in a little brown bungalow with
a green roof and a garden where
eager green growing things are
bursting up through the idotty blaek
ea rt h.
“She” is Mrs. Pierre Thomas,
wife of the rosy-eheeked I'reneh
professor, and she lias vital auburn
hair, long, with glints of the sun
in it, and i|Uud, steady eyes, and
she has deft, hands.
If you think there is something
sentimental abou^ her dream ot a
house with a garden, soil would
ehnuge vour ctnind if you eonbl hear
her tell it. She tells it so simply.
She lived all her life in can apart;
meat uud she wanted always her
own home.
She and her professor husband
are happy, here in Aineriea. “I
know we are happy because we do
not have the wish ^o go back,”
<ttie said. “We are satisfied and
my husband is teaching.”
lint that isn’t the only reason
that the Prenehman and his wife
are happy here.
The biggest reason is—they can
dream. They can walk out by
Springfield and see Prance in the
soft blue blend of the hills, and
Pierre Thomas ean lie little pink
ribbons, round the curtains of their
kitchen windows to make them
“look like home.” And lie ean
draw soft little sketches of the
trees and mountains of his country,
as they sit together in their snug
little study.
Coming to America was an nd
venture for them and they want to
see more of it, slic said.
“It was hard at first beennso wp
spoke lit11 * English. My husband
had to study while he taught at
Middleburry college, ill Vermont,
and 1 Spent about a year in nurse’s
training near Boston.
“I like nursing heenitse it is a
way of serving, and doing some
thing for people (it was natural to
.glaneo again at her eapahle fingers
as she said it.
America’s cold water and houses
of wood were of the things she
found hard to become adjusted to.
Because of the scarcity ot wood,
all houses ate of concrete or brick
in her mother country.
FsentHi and Amerimm girls are
much the same, she believes. They
like their schools, they like to work
for a while when they finish them,
and then they want to marry. Two
differences she sees are that the
French girls hobbies are more likely
; to be sewing or fnneywork than
games—and that when they “date”
with a man there is nothing “pla
| tonic” about it it ,is with the
1 understanding that marriage is to be
the ultimate end.
But anyway, you aren’t concern
ed'with the differences of France
land America when you talk with
Mrs. Thomas.
You are more interested in her
garden. Saturday Mrs. Thomas will
go to Eugene markets and buy let
tuce seeds to set out. J’ierre will
put on some wooden shoes, that he
brought, for fun, once in a French
village, and he will plant the seeds.
And T think his . wife will stand
near, watching him, and scolding
and smiling.

The contestants will be judged prin
cipally on the basis of dramatic
ability. The judges who will select
the lead characters are Constance
Both, Don Johnston, Madge Normile,
Boone Hendricks, Gordon Stearns,
and S. Stevenson Smith.
Boone Hendricks, who is director
of the music for this year's Junior
Vodvil, asks that any students who
have written any music that could
possibly b(> used in the comedy, hand
it in to him at once. “It doesn’t
matter just what kind of music it
is," le said, “blues or ballads or
what have you. All the music of
‘Oh Dear’ is to be strictly original
and written on the campus, and we
are very anxious that we have fill
the material available so that wo

“a ho young in.'in with navy Moml

1 S»l21 to find a life of adventure,
variety and amusement, finds him
self six years later at the mercy of
feminine audiences and perilously

a description, bv a reporter, of;
Kichnrd Halliburton, author and;
world wide adventurer, ulR> is toj
speak Saturday, MifVch 0, at the
Woman’s building, as the third
speaker on the lecture series.
According to Halliburton, women
have, exactly 11 remarks to ques
tions which they put to him. He
has numbered each, and as he auto
matically gives one of the 11 well
planned replies, his mind mentally
clicks, “Question No. so-and-so.”
“And everybody says how spon
taneous T am,” he said durinjJ the
same interview. “If some woman
should ask me question No. If! I
should be completely dumb. Hut
then, there is no danger that any
one will.”
Questions Eore Him
He is bored by questions about
the Chinese social •conditions, and
the religion of India arouses no
more interest. Calling him a “travel
writer” succeeds in irritating him.
but not until an aspiring reporter
describes him as “bringing a mes
sage,” does Halliburton wax furi
ous. On one occasion, he exclaimed,
“To h—— with messages. I am
only interested in what I can see
and experience for myself. T do
things simply to please myself; and
when I write them I find they
please other people, too.”
