“A Wedding,” a one act farce by
John Kirkpatrick, was presented
over KORE last night as a feature
of the regular Extension Division
Emerald program.
Seven students of the drama de
partment had parts in the fast-mov
ing comedy which was directed by
Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt. They were:
Milton George, the bridegroom;
James Lyons, the best map; Kath
erine Talbot, the bride; Marshall
^Hopkins* a groomsman; Sylvana
Edmunds, the bridegroom’s mother;
Hugh Logan, the bride’s father;
and Grace Gardner, the bride’s
aunt.
Scene in Bridegroom’s Room
The action of the. play takes place
In the groom’s room just before the
wedding ceremony is to be perform
ed. The groom loses his collar but
ton at the last moment and in the
unsuccessful search that follows
becomes so exasperated that lie
doesn’t care if lie ever gets mar
ried or not. The bride overhears
his remark, and an argument that
involves everyone is started. The
bride and groom finally decide
that ‘they have learned so much
about each other in their quarrel
that they would not be suited to
each other for life. Complications
are all settled in the end, though,
and the wedding takes place.
Play Funny Throughout
The lines and setting of the play
are funny throughout and hilarious
in spots. More radio plays will be
featured by flic drama department
over KORE in the future.
Friday night Dr. Warren D.
Smith, professor -of—geology ami
geography, will finish his talk oil
“Will the Pacific Always be Pa
cific?’? Dr. Smith delivered the

editor of the Emerald, who is in

Buck Bailey Pledges

T o Baseball School
The Oregon School of Base
ball announces the pledging of
Buck Bailey of Washington
State College.
They meet every day Oregon
plays a ball game.
With cocky white caps perched
on their heads, they count off in
the bleachers behind the Oregon
dugout.
For every' member of the base
ball school who conics in late
"slugs” on the arm are generously
donated by the more timely.
Most of them are Order of the
“O” men, but a few outsiders have
stormed their ranks. Professor Erb
is the only pedagog with arm strong
enough to allow his joining.
Very spirited rooting for the
Webfoot baseball players takes
place during the games. Sometimes
the opposing team is the butt of
their railleries.
One of their prize veils given yes
terday' was “Two! four! six! eight!
Whom do we approach! Buck Bai
ley!” (meaning the Cougar’s chol
eric coach.)
Bailey’s pledging consisted of
the presentation of a new white cap
of the painters’ union type. But
due to the strenuousness of Buck’s
high jumping at bad (supposedly')
decisions, the bill of his new white
cap came off and another had to
be dispatched by special messenger.
The" baseball school is now ad
journed. Its next meeting will be
held during the Oregon-Washington
game Friday. It is rumored they
have a new yell to spring, new vic
tims to slug and a new supply of
“piggers” to throw over the fence.
Classroom Sarcasm
Not Constructive
NEW YORK—(I. P.)— Johnson
O’Connor, of flic General Electric
company, speaking before the So
ciety for the Promotion of Engin
eering Education here recently, se
verely criticized the use of psycho
logical tests by colleges either to
bar candidates for admission or as
a basis for dropping students.
‘.‘No school lias a right to use
aptitude tests for its selfish pur
poses, to exclude men whom the col
lege does not wish to educate,” he
said. ‘‘Industry has learned to re
place men not suited to a particu
lar job; the colleges haven’t. It is
time for the colleges to accept some
responsibility for the men that they
fire, as well as those whom they
graduate.
