    Interest High in
Si no-Japanese
Debate Tonight
Postponement Caused
By Meeting in Hall
Wu Tang and Art Potwin
Clash on Manchuria
f Crisis in Villard
Student interest is running high
with the approach of the debate
between Wu Tang, Chinese stu
dent, and Art Potwin, senior in
business administration, on the
question “Resolved, that China is
justified in her position on the
present Manchurian crisis,” to
night at 7 :00 in Villard assembly.
Dr. Harold J. Noble will act as
chairman.
“Potwin, who has accepted Wu
Tang's challenge to debate, is an
able representative of the Ameri
can students on the University
campus,” said Walter E. Hemp
stead, instructor in English, in ex
plaining why Potwin was selected
to oppose Wu Tang. “He is a
trained debater, orator, and extem
pore speaker, and has had special
contests on the Manchurian and
other Asiatic questions. Most of
his training has been received as a
member of the varsity teams.”
Wu Tang will finish his law
course at the University this year.
He was born in Hankow, China,
and later lived in Manchuria from
1923 to 1926. While there he was
f in constant contact with the situa
tion, as he was in the employ of
the customs department of the
government.
Wu Tang finished his high school
studies in China and then came to
the United States to study law at
the University of Washington, at
Seattle. There he had three years
in the liberal arts school and three
years in the law school.
The debate was postponed from
Tuesday night until tonight be
cause the Shakespearean readings
by William Lee Greenleaf were
scheduled for that time.

Shakespearean Monologist
Likes Portland Best of All
By ELINOR HENRY
There were few empty seats in
Villard assembly last night when
William Lee Greenleaf, monologist,
presented Shakespeare's "Merchant
of Venice.” Greenleaf gave a sur
prising quality of life to the char
acters, especially to Shylock, the
old Jewish money lender, and to
Launcelot Gobbo, the clown. His
female impersonations were not
so convincing but were well
handled.
Grace Burnett, soprano, enter
tained the audience with several
Shakespearean lyrics before the
reading and during the intermis
sion.
Though he has given nearly 6000
monologues in almost every prin
f cipal city of the United States,
Australia, and of a part of Can
ada. Greenleaf likes Portland “bet
ter than any other city in the
world.”
He remembers the University as
it was 30 years ago, a few years
before he made his home on the
coast. It was in 1905 that he had
his choice of places to direct ly
ceums—and chose Portland. Now
he has a walnut orchard near Med
ford in southern Oregon, though
he lives in Santa Rosa, California.
“That is my recreation,” Green
leaf said, “clearing land, planting
trees, hunting and fishing, though
I don't have much time for them
now. This has been the busiest
year I have ever had. The lyceum
has been displaced to some extent
by motion pictures, but there
seems just now an increasing in
terest in the things that once were
a part of the lyceum.
"A high school auditorium,” he
smiled, “is now a better theatre
than we had on the road in the old
days. And the high schools are
realizing more and more that plays
are written to be presented and
that the monologue is one of the
best methods.”

Education Board
Considers Joint
College Control
Starr Avers Appointments
Undecided on Group To
Decide on Question
The state board of higher edu
cation passed a motion yesterday
to name a committee of five to
carry through the plan of combin
ing the institutions of higher learn
ing of the state under one admin
istration, according to a dispatch
in yesterday’s Register-Guard.
C. L. Starr, chairman of the
board, in a telephone interview
with the Register-Guard, declared
that no appointments had yet been
made on the committee and that
he could not say when there would
be. He declined to outline how ex
tensive the functions of the com
mittee would be.
Dr. E. E. Lindsey, secretary of
the state board of higher educa
tion, in a long distance call with
the Emerald, said complete records
of yesterday’s board meeting were
at his office, and that he preferred
to make np comment. It is report
ed that one major task of the com
mittee would be tto name one ad
ministrative head for the entire
group of higher educational insti
tutions in the state.
The finance committee of the
board recommended that the ap
propriation of $5400 for the alumni
association of the University be
accepted, and it was passed. This
item was included in the Univer
sity be accepted, and it' was passed.
This item was included in the Uni
versity budget, and is the amount
set following the 45 per cent re
duction in all items of the budget.
Pan-American Geography
Treated in New Course
Warren D. Smith, professor of
geology and geography, will begin
a class in the geography of Latin
America, at winter term. The
course will consist of a study of
the physical background of these
countries, a study of present trends
and recent events in the field of
economics, social matters, and pol
itics, as influenced by the physical
background.
The course is to be limited to
foreign trade and history students
and is primarily an upper division
class although a few sophomores
who have made a grade of B in
general geology or general geog
raphy will be permitted to enroll.
It will be a three-hour course
meeting on Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday. The Saturday class will
not meet as a whole but will be
devoted to special work by the stu
dents.
Professor Smith is basing the
course on his own recent travels
in the Latin American countries I
and on much reading of Spanish- j
American literature in the original.
He has been giving this course at |
the Portland extension center.
’Messiah* Soloists
Nancy Thiolsen (left), soprano, and Margaret Simms, contralto,
who are the women soloists for “The Messiah,” to be presented Sun
day afternoon in McArthur court by the polyphonic choir.
University Choir, Orchestra
Will Give HandeVs Oratorio
Thielsen, Simms, Barron,
Crawford Featured
In ‘Messiah’
Students who show A. S. U. O.
membership cards will be admitted
free to the performance of Han
del’s oratorio, “The Messiah,” to
be given Sunday afternoon at 3
p. m. in McArthur court by the
University Polyphonic choir and
the University orchestra, under
the direction of Arthur Boardman.
General admission will be 25 cents.
Soloists will be Nancy Thielsen
of Salem, soprano, Margaret
Simms, also of Salem, contralto,
Hadley Crawford of Eugene, tenor,
and George Barron of Ashland,
basso, and president of the Poly
phonic choirs. Crawford sang the
tenor solo role last year in a sim
ilar presentation given in the
school of music auditorium. The
choir this year is much larger than
last year, as is also the orchestra,
and a drastic reduction in general
admission prices will, it is hoped,
bring a correspondingly larger
audience.
Miss Thielsen has been heard in
many student music events, and
was seen frequently in leading
roles on the Guild theater stage
last year. She was soprano solo
ist with the Glee club in 1929 and
in 1930 in the Christmas presenta
tions of the St Cecilia music, with
the Polyphonic choir last year in
performances of Rossini's “Stabat
Mater” and Verdi’s “Requiem.”
She appeared as soloist with the
Portland Symphony orchestra and
with the Neah-Kah-Nie string
quartet. Miss Simms, contralto
soloist with the choir of the Meth
odist Episcopal church in Eugene,
was winner of second place in the
Oregon Atwater Kent radio audi
tion contest held this fall. She has
been a soloist with the Polyphonic
choir on many occasions. In 1929
30 she was a member of the Uni
versity Women’s Glee club, and in
1930-31 was president of that sing
ing organization.
Hadley Crawford is librarian of
the school of music, choirmaster
at the First Christian church in
Eugene, director of music at the
Roosevelt junior high school. He
was tenor soloist last year in the
first performance of “The Mes
siah" given on the campus since
1928.
Barron’s singing of basso pro
funclo parts is familiar to many
students, as he has appeared fre
quently during the past four years.
He sang last year in the first
Bach cantata ever given on the
campus by a student organization,
“Du Hirte Israel,” again in the
spring in Rossini’s “Stabat Mater.”
He is an assistant in the public
school music department of the
University’s school of music.

‘Woogy’ Displaces
‘King’, Deceased
As Beta Mascot
A Mnd lady reading about
the tragic death of King, the
Beta mascot, took pity on the
bereaved masters and replaced
tile police dog with a miniature
replica.
The new dog has been chis
tened “Woogy,” a name signifi
cant to Betas only.
At least his owners will see
that this canine doesn’t follow
in the footsteps of his illustri
ous predecessor, since the path
of King led but to destruction.
So long live Woogy!
Krawl Heads List
Of Winter Term
Campus Dances
Unique Affair Is Promised
By Adverlising Men
On January 16
Heading the list of all-campus
events for next term is the Krazy
Kopy Krawl, now scheduled def
initely for January 16 at the Co
coanut Grove. The Senior ball and
the Military ball, according to an
announcement yesterday from the
dean of women’s office, are the
only other large social events now
set for the first month of winter
term.
Because of the Christmas lag in
University, class, or honorary func
tions, Alpha Delta Sigma, adver
tising fraternity, has laid plans to
open the winter social season with
the Krazy Kopy Krawl. This year
the advertising men declare they
are primed to break all records in
providing entertainment, fun, and
good music.
At the beginning of next term
news of new and distinct features
will appear. Francis Mullins, man
ager of the Merrick dance studio,
is in charge of this entertainment
and has already a list of features
he rates as equal to a vaudeville
show. Plans to present a short
one-act comedy are being consid
ered by members of the organiza
tion.
Little information on the unique
decoration scheme has been re
leased, and, according to Harry
Schenk, president of Alpha Delta
Sigma, little will be released until
the evening of the dance. New
ideas, or rather, an amalgamation
of all ideas on decoration will be
displayed in the January 16 crea
tion.

Guild Stage Becomes Dugout
For Drama, 'Journey’s End’
Day by day the stage of Guild
theatre grows more and more to
resemble the interior of a British
dug-out on the front line trenches
before St. Quentin, early in 1918;
and day by day a dozen Oregon
men assume more and more the
qualities of the young fellows
whose lives there make up the
story of the celebrated war play,
‘‘Journey’s End.”
The author, R. C. Sherriff, has
peopled his play with a wide var
iety of personalities. There is the
careless and joking Captain Hardy
who does no more work than is ab
solutely forced upon him, played
by Ethan Newman. The charac
ter of Captain Dennis Stanhope is
a very young man and a splendid
leader of men, seasoned by three
long years of service, who is be
ginning to break under the grind.
Stanhope will be played by Leonard
Dart, who recently won favor as
the mad millionaire-musician in
“Dulcy.” With him we find his
' best friend, Lieutenant Osborne,
i the oldest of the officers, former
I ly a college professor, played by
j Gene Love. The men all call him
I ‘’Uncle.” Jack Stipe plays Hib
' bert, the man whose dread of go
ing into action gets beyond his
control. Wallie Boyle will be the
fat, happy-go-lucky Trotter, who
takes war as it comes and man
ages to keep the people around
him cheered up. Eldon Woodin,
the Malvolio of last year’s “Twelfth
Night,” will be Captain Stanhope’s
orderly.
As the Colonel, cold, crisp, and
businesslike, to whom war is chief
ly a matter of routine, Martin
Geary will make his first appear
ance in a major production. Mar
tin is known as a drummer, a
singer, and a stage technician.
This is his first appearance in Eu
gene as a full fledged actor, but he
has played a number of times with
a professional company in south
ern California.
Three other men are being intro
! duced for the first time in major
j roles. Charles Schumaker, who has
j appeared in several one-acts, will
I play the company sergeant-major.
Warren Gram, a new arrival, will
play the young Second Lieutenant
Raleigh, just out from England.
I Bob Ferguson, also new on the
| campus, will play the German sol
j dier, a mere boy, taken prisoner
I by Raleigh, and Wilbur Walker
will play Private Mason, whose
