Hawaii Wins Praise From President Hall University Head Returns To Campus With Health Improved by Trip Oregon’s Executive Says Spears Sure To Stay Here as Coach Delighted with Hawaii and quite impressed with the "Paradise of the Pacific,” Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, president, or the University, returned to the campus yes ter day after an ab sence of approxi mately a month. |The entire time [was spent in [Honolulu, where [he visited with [one of his old [friends, Dr. Gra Dr Hall ham Stuart, who has been a visit ing faculty member at the Uni versity of Hawaii for some time. Dr. Hall is much improved in health, he says, for he found Hon olulu an excellent place to rest. Swimming in the warm and invig orating surf at Waikiki, hikes and other diversions were enjoyed dur ing his stay. Hull Cites Views President Hall arrived in San Francisco Wednesday, just in time to hear a lot of rumors about Dr. C. W. Spears, Oregon football coach, and the vacancy in the foot ball coaching staff at the Univer sity of California. Much to Dr. Hall’s surprise the twd- the Ore gon coach and the vacant place had become confused in the minds of newspapermen, and it became TRY THE Green Lantern ONCE and you will come again. necessary for the president to cite his views on the situation. “Dr. Spears has made a wonder ful record at Oregon. So far as I know California has not ap proached him with an offer, nor has anyone asked us to release Dr. Spears from the remainder of his contract here. Dr. Spears says there is nothing to the rumor, Cal ifornia officials say the same, so I must necessarily say so too. We want Dr. Spears to stay here, and I feel sure he will.” These were statements made by Dr. Hall upon his arrival in Eugene. Oregon Well Known Getting back to Hawaii, a favor ite subject now with Dr. Hall, the president declared that the terri tory now knows the University of Oregon quite well, since Honolulu became part of the campus last summer when the Hawaii summer session spent six weeks there. People of Honolulu are enthusias tic over the summer session idea as carried out by this University, and are eager to have it repeated, Dr. Hall says. Hawaii was found to be of great interest in many fields in which Dr. Hall is interested, particularly in social sciences and racial psy chology. Made up of many differ ent races, the territory seems to have solved the difficult problem of race assimilation, for Cauca sians, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Filipinos, Portuguese and many other peoples work and play in harmony, he said. However, the warm, even climate makes for har mony, for the bitter cold of winter is lacking, food is plentiful and cheap for the lower classes, and living on the whole is much easier and much less competitive, he stated. Hawaii Trade Important Although small in area, Hawaii is rich in resources, especially ag ricultural, Dr. Hall said. It now has a population of more than 300,000, many of them well-to-do, and it is important that the Pa cific Northwest cultivate trade re lations with the area, for many products from here can be sold profitably there. Honolulu is also important as a clearing point for transportation to all parts of the Orient. People in Hawaii were very hos pitable, Dr. Hall said, and they made his stay one of pleasure. ♦ SOCIETY ♦ By CAROL HURLBCRT ■— ■ — Buddy Eastman Days Santa Claus Taking precedence above even weddings, engagements, musicals, and receptions, are the Christmas parties which are being given at every house this week-end. None of the houses are inviting guests. Probably the most famous of all the Santa Clauses is the one which will visit the Alpha Tau Omega house, Norman (Buddy) Eastman, the fat boy in last year’s campus movie, "Ed’s Co-ed.” * * * Miss Amy Porter Announces Engagement Working his vengeance on stu dents for the last time this year, Monsieur Cupid again unloosed his bow and arrow Saturday night at the Alpha Omicron Pi house when Amy Porter announced her en gagement to Lee Rapp, who wps graduated three years ago. The table was decked with holly. Red ribbons extended from the center-piece to each place, where they were attached to a sprig of holly. The announcements were hidden under the centerpiece at the ether end of the ribbon. Miss Porter, who is a senior in architecture and allied arts, is af filiated with Alpha Omicron Pi. Mr. Rapp is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. This makes the second time dur ing the term that the Alpha Omi cron Pi house has been the scene for an announcement such as this. • * * Pipes-Myers Wedding Takes Place Tomorrow Attention is now focussed on the marriage of Miss Cornelia Pipes and Louis Myers, both instructors in French, which will take place tomorrow night at 8:30. The wedding will be solemnized at the home of the bride’s aunt, Mrs. Harry B. Beckett, on Eliza beth street. Dr. William G. Elliott Jr., will read the ceremony. Neither the bride nor the bride groom are planning to have any attendants, as the service will take place in the presence of intimate friends and members of the family. A reception will follow. • • • Phi Delta Theta Gives Rushing Party Phi Delta Theta is the only man's house which will give a rushing party during the holidays. The Phi Delts are planning an all night camping party at Rhododendron Inn for 30 or 40 guests. Skiing, to bogganing, and winter sports will form the diversions. George Weber is in charge. e • e Only Two Exchange Dinners for Week The exchange dinners shrank to their lowest ebb this week, as only two houses entertained. Phi Kap pa Psi was honored by Delta Delta ; Delta and Kappa Alpha Theta by Sigma Pi Tau on Thursday night. * * * Informal Tea Honors Mrs. Myers Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Dean Walker entertained informally at tea honoring Mrs. Myers, mother of Louis Myers. Mrs. Myers ha3 been visiting here since last Tues ' day. She will leave today for Port I land to be present at the wedding I of her son and Miss Cornelia Pipes. 1 Colonel Hofer Guest of Sigma Chi Colonel Hofer of Portland was a dinner guest at the Sigma Chi house last night EMERALD-KORE FOR 1990 ENDS IN REVIEW (Continued from Page One) under the name of the Emerald Entertainers. Vinton Hall, editor of the Emer ald, was put to a series of ques tions by Director Art Potwin that ranged from movie actresses in Hollywood to the justification of the ousting of Bob Allen, ex-man aging editor of the Emerald, from his office. Hall also intimated that a radio talent contest between living or ganizations of the campus would take place over station KORE soon after winter term gets in progress. However, he announced no defiin ite plans for the contest. 'Green Pastures’ Delightful 1 Play, Guild Audience Finds "And so the Lord rared back and said, 'Let there be a whole mess of firmament’.” If you can’t imagine the Lord in a bow tie and puffing a 10-cent "ceegar,” you were not one of the delighted au dience who heard Mrs. Ottilie Sey bolt give a dramatic reading of "The Green Pastures” at Guild theatre last night. This play, as stated by the author, Marc Con nelly, is an attempt to present certain aspects of a living religion in the terms of its believers, the thousands of negroes in the deep South. They are unburdened by the dif ferences of more educated theolo gians, and accept the Old Testa ment as a chronicle of wonders which happened to people like themselves. In "Green Pastures” Heaven is represented as a place where the angels have magnificent fish frys. The creation of the world is simply explained by the lack of firmament in the Lord’s custard. He creates So much firmament that he has to create the world to drain it out of Heaven. The cherubs’ wings are getting wet and the Lord doesn’t want to bust up the fish fry. But this calls for the creation of man, and then the trouble begins. The Lord sits in his private business office with the faithful “Gab” and deals with such celes tial problems as Cherub Montgom ery, who lives near the pearly gates and whose wings are molt ing out of season. Then a law has to be passed prohibiting the angels dancing around on the moon on Saturday nights, because the moon is beginning to melt. Eut now, added to these difficul ties, are the misdoings of man. Adam and Eve failed, and their son Cain also fell from grace. Then the Lord tried a deluge and left only Noah's family. But again things went wrong. Then the Lord gave Moses and Joshua in structions, because he still believed that man must be all right at the core, or why would he have cre ated him ? Finally, thoroughly disgusted, the Lord won’t have anything to do with mankind, and admits that “even being God ain’t a bed of roses.” All this has been delightful and amusing, but a more serious side of the play is shown in the last part where Hezdrel represents man’s faith in a God of mercy, rather than the old Jehovah of wrath and vengeance. The Lord is puzzled, but decides that he, too, must find mercy through suf fering. "You look awful pensive, Lawd. Have a ceegar?” “No thanks, Gabriel, I’m just thinking.” And so ends this simple, naive folk tale, which has startled so many people by the meaning be hind it and the unusualness of presentation. Mrs. Seybolt de serves much praise on her reading of .it last night.
