Many Signed For Courses In Dramatics ‘Dulcie’ Slated as First Production of Year Eleven Players Seen Last Year on Campus Back For New Season An unusually large enrollment of beginning actors in the tech nique of acting class offered by the University drama department gives promise of a large number of new players appearing in campus productions during the coming year, according to Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt, head of the drama de partment. Other classes in the drama department also have larger enrollments this year than last, Mrs. Seybolt said. The group of Guild hall players numbers eight this year, which is a larger number of experienced players than has been on the cam pus for several years. The play production classes also show an increased enrollment. Included in the group of actors known for their past appearances ifi campus drama productions and returning this year are Gene Love, who did particularly good work in the production of “Twelfth Night” last year; Marian Camp, who played Isabella Worthington very successfully in "The Single Man” last spring; Inez Simons, who also appeared in “The Single Man"; Donald Confrey, seen in “Twelfth Night”; Carl Klipple, whose work in "Holiday” and “Hotel Universe” last year was particularly out standing; Walden Boyle and Jack Stipe, who were presented in “Hotel Universe” late last spring; Hose Simons, and Zora Beaman. Mrs. Seybolt announced “Dul-! cie,” a bright American comedy, as the first production to be pre sented by the Guild hall players this year. Definite announce ment of the date has not yet been made, but it will be sometime dur ing the month of October, Mrs. Seybolt stated. The play will go into rehearsal this week under the direction of Mrs. Seybolt. A defin Professor Fords Flooded Desert In Summertime WORDING a desert in summer 1 time may sound like a "Be lieve It or Not" with the empha sis on the not, but it actually happened to a University of Oregon professor and his wife. While touring through the Southwest after the close of the summer session at the Univer sity of Iowa, Prof. Harold S. Tuttle of the education depart ment and Mrs. Tuttle crossed the Mojave desert in the wake of a cloudburst, a rare occur rence in that section. Accidents were frequent, J since the roads were partly covered with water or washed away. One bus was mired so deeply that the occupants had to sit on the top to keep their feet from trailing in the flood. ite announcement of the cast will be made at an early date. The hope of beginning what may beome an annual presentation of plays correlated with the history of drama was expressed yesterday i by the head of the drama depart ment. The first of these plays 1 would be taken from Creek drama j for presentation this year. These j plays, if established as an annual J occurrence, would bring to the campus each year one of a series j of plays progressing from the period of Greek drama to the mod ern drama. In four years this would give a student opportunity to see one play from four major periods in the history of drama.

Polyphonic Choir to Have 100 Voices First Division to Sing • Mendelsohn’s “Hymn Of Praise” A homocoming concert Novem ber 10 at which Mendelssohn’s "Hymn of Praise” will be sung was announced last night at the rehearsal of the first division of the University polyphonic choir. As usual, the “Messiah” will be sung shortly before the Christmas vacation begins. The main work on the homecom ing program probably will be sup ported by a group of light part songs, Arthur Boardman, director, stated. Of the 40 voices in this year’s organization, 30 sang with the chorus last year, and are fa miliar with Handel’s Christmas oratorio, which will again be given to the accompaniment of the Uni versity orchestra. The first rehearsal of the Uni versity symphony orchestra was held last night, and the turnout displayed great promise for the musical year. At the spring con cert of the orchestra last year, Rex Underwood, director, an nounced a series of popular con certs to be given this term. Mu sical works not yet heard on the campus, as well as numbers played last year, and requested by the students and public, will form this year’s programs. That the second division of the polyphonic choir will number more than a hundred voices was the in dication yesterday, according to Roy G. Bryson, assistant director. The list of members will be an nounced before the end of the week, he said. Waller Barnes on Sniilli College Staff Walter C. Barnes has succeeded to the professorship of modern European history at Smith college. He was formerly a professor of history at the University, being here from 1920 to 1930. Mr. Baines succeeds Dr. Fay, author of "Origins of the World War,” which is recognized as the outstanding work on this subject written in any language. Dr. Fay is now at Harvard. The appointment of Mr. Barnes to the staff at Smith is a decided credit to the University of Oregon, it is felt by Dr. R. C. Clark, head of the history department. Last year Mr. Barnes was on a leave of absence from the Univer sity. 1 le resigned recently to take the position at Smith.

Weslminster House To Hold Discussions Mrs. Margaret Pox DeCou is Group Leader A new discussion group will be conducted at the Westminster house this year, for freshmen, Rev. J. M. Adams announced today, while emphasizing the fact that the group would be under the di rection of a mature leader, Mrs. Margaret Fox DeCou. The leader was for several years dean of women on the campus and at one time represented the stu dent Christian movement at a world conference in Europe while doing Y. W. C. A. work in the Pacific Northwest, stated Rev. I Adams. | “She will in no sense be a teach j or," he said. “It is a student dis | mission group for freshmen, and j the leader will use faculty mcm jbers and citizens from time to time | while working with the general i topic of ‘Problems of College.’ “They will discuss the common problems of all freshmen in the light of Christian ideals, which should be of great value to the new student on the campus.” This group will meet on Sunday mornings at 9:45 at Westminster I house. Officers are to be elected ! at an early meeting, said Rev. Adams, University pastor. Officers Will Be Named Next Week At Congress Club Rolla A. Reedy to Present Opening Discussion On Socialism Nominations for officers of the Congress club were made at its first meeting of the season last night in College Side Inn. Elec tions will be held next Wednesday evening, and the officers selected will retain their positions until the middle of the winter term. Candidates for president are Emery Hyde, Stephen B. Kahn and Roy McMullen; for secretary, Don Saunders and Lawrence Opedal, and for sergeant-at-arms, George Benndtt and Wallace Campbell. Otto Vonderheit was unopposed for the office of secretary, and the name of Bob Jackson for the post of treasurer was uncontested. Rolla Reedy, junior in education, will open the formal discussion of the season next Wednesday with the topic, ‘‘Resolved: That social ism is the remedy for the present economic depression.” The address will constitute Reedy’s application for membership in the club, pre sentation of a discussion being pre requisite to admittance. Wallace Campbell, retiring pres ident of the club and member of the varsity debate team, pointed out that discussions of the Con gress club during the next few weeks will probably have direct reference to current economic and political questions. He extended an invitation to all freshmen to attend the next meeting of the club Wednesday night at 7:30 P. M. over College Side Inn. John L. Casteel, assistant pro fessor of English and director of the speech division, who is a new member of the faculty, voiced his enthusiastic approval of the pro gram and policy of the Congress club. He declared he found a simi lar society at Northwestern uni versity a most potent intellectual force on that campus. “In view of the unusual econ omic and political developments in the state and nation, I believe the Congress club can fulfill a vital need by directing collegiate atten tion to a study of the problems that are constantly confronting every University student. I look forward with eagerness and anti cipation to a resourceful Congress club program that will not only be of value to the members of that or ganization, but will have its echoes on the campus in stimulating con structive thought throughout the student body.” Cabinet Plans Tea for All Freshmen Women Chaney, Card, and Edmunson Will Explain Plans The Frosh Commission cabinet is entertaining all freshman wom en at a tea and meeting at 4:00 today at the Y.

GREEN LANTERN Next to Sigma Chi House on 13th ■ II1——B I Lodge Reopens With Affair For Foreign Student Fall opening of Peters Lodge was held Saturday, September 26, when members of the A. W. S. executive council climbed over the roof of the Rouse to remove leaves from the chimney and worked hours in an attempt to prime the pump and nurse a fire in the fire place. The energetic renovation was in preparation for an overnight party to entertain Miss Nella Roster, foreign scholar from Florence, Italy. When the girls had referred several times to the “hot dogs” that were in the process of roast ing, Nella exclaimed — “But are they really dogs, because if they are dogs, I don’t think I should like to eat them.” Marshmallows proved a novel curiosity for the Italian girl who had never in her life tasted one. But Miss Roster was entertainer as well as guest for she sang several Italian songs for the girls at the lodge. Louise Webber this year holds the chairmanship of the Peters Lodge committee and has as her assistants, Jean Failing, publicity manager, Helen Shingle, grounds supervisor, Marguerite Tarbell, social chairman, and Edith Peter son, who will have charge of the key. Noble To Teach History of His Native Country Among the several new mem bers of the University of Oregon faculty is Dr. Harold Joyce Noble. He has succeeded J. G. Hazam as assistant professor of history. Dr. Noble will have classes in Chinese and Japanese history and a course in modern Europe. He is also doing research work for a book he is publishing, “Korea and Her Relations with the United States before 1$95.” Interest in Korea and the Orient generally and their relations with the United States comes naturally to Dr. Noble as he was born in Pyeng Yang, Korea, of American parents. He received his education in the United States, taking his bachelor of arts degree at Ohio Wesleyan university in 1924 and his master’s degree at Ohio State college in 1925. Later he gave courses in English literature at Ewha college, Seoul, Korea. He re turned to the United States in 1929 and took advanced degree work at the University of Cali fornia. Several articles by Dr. Noble have been published in journals I dealing with far east history, i politics and economics. He has i conducted several tours to the Orient during the past few years. Dr. Noble's hobby, outside of _ academic lines, is swimming. He prefers to be called “Mr. Noble.” Oregon Grads Rank In State Bar Exams Eighteen of the 44 persons who successfully passed the state bar examinations held in Salem July 14 and 15 were graduated from the University law school here, it was stated yesterday by Marjorie Read, secretary to Wayne L.
