Oregon Dad And Mothers Are Organized Mrs. W. M. Cook Pledges Support of Group To Dr. Hall Club Membership Totals Almost 6,000 rr) “From now on there will be a solid front of almost 6,000 organ ized Mothers and Dads standing back of President Hall and his policies for Oregon,” said Mrs. Walter M. Cook, president of the Oregon Mothers’ club, upon her return from the trip which she has been making about the state for the purpose of forming local groups of Mothers, accompanied by President Hall; Dean Powers, of the Extension division; Miss Marian Phy, executive secretary of the Oregon Mothers; Mrs. J. F. Hill, president of Portland Moth ers; and Walter M. Cook, vice president of the Portland United States National bank and “offi cial” chauffeur. Mathers Interviewed “We interviewed 250 mothers,” Mrs. Cook said, “and organized 14 new groups. We also talked to Kiwanis clubs, Lions clubs, cham bers of commerce, high school teachers, and large groups of in terested citizens.” "The topic in the course of study which seemed to interest the mothers most,” stated Mrs. Hill, "was that of the Personnel Bureau. This is the work of gath ering information about the schol arship, activities, mental ability, physical health, and social adjust ment of every student on the campus and the practical use of these data by deans, advisors, and major professors.” Growing Enthusiasm Last year at the Mother's Day banquet there were 1,025 seats, and only one of them empty. “This year," said Mrs. Cook, “from present indications due to enthu siasm aroused on our trip and through personal contacts with Oregon Mothers, we expect more than twice as many.” The trip which has just been completed is only the first of a series which will be made about the state in the following months. The second trip will be made upon President Hall's return home from Chicago. “Before next Mother’s Day,” said Mrs. Cook, “I hope to make a complete canvass of the state and talk to every Oregon Mother in every city, town, and commu nity in Oregon.” Campus Talent Has Fine Chance In 4Mrs. Cheyney’ New Production To Hold Tryouts Monday And Tuesday The chance of a lifetime is be ing offered to dramatically inclin ed men on the campus if they only would realize it. Tryouts are go ing to be held soon for the cast in “The Last of Mrs. Cheyney” in which one of the most fascinating male characters in modern drama, that of Lord Dilling is portrayed. In the words of one of the other characters in the play Lord Dill ing is described as being “A man who has kept more husbands at home than any other man of mod ern times.” He was a typical man of the world and there is some one on the campus who is going to be just the person for the part. There are also seven other in teresting parts open for men. “One thing is certain. You never can telli just what you can do until you give yourself a good chance,” Cecil Matson, drama assistant said. “There is going to be a cast of understudies for the entire cast so every one will have just that much more chance to be in the main play,” Mr. Matson also an nounced. The play is fascinating, the characters are fascinating and there is no reason why there shouldn't be a big crowd at the tryouts which are going to be held Monday night at 7:30 and Tues day afternoon at 3 o’clock at Guild hall, 103 Johnson.
