Art Faculty Work Shown Informally At Gallery Exhibit The art and architecture schools announce the opening of a faculty exhibit in the gal lery of the art department on Thursday, October 20. The displays will be taken solely from the staff and will present the various types of their work. Informality is the key-note of the exhibition and it promises to be of great in terest to students because it represents work done purely for enjoyment and not for dis play purposes. Tryouts for Club Plays To Be Held Tryouts for parts in the West minster association plays are scheduled to start in Westminster house this evening at 7:30, and will be continued on Thursday eve ning. All students interested in any type of drama are urged to par ticipate in these competitive try outs. Comic, melodramatic, farci cal, and tragic talent is desired.

The plays produced by the West minster House association are to be put on in nearby communities throughout the year. Gilbert Speaks on Oregon Tax Ballot James H. Gilbert, dean of the college of literature, science and the arts, addressed the Social Sci ence club of the faculty on “Tax Measures on the Oregon Ballot” at dinner at the Faculty club last night. The Social Science club has in its membership most of the in structors in social science, as well as many others who are interest ed. H. G.

It requires a type of tobacco different from the tobacco used for chewing tobacco or cigarettes. Then again, Granger is made by Well man’s Method. Granger has a pleasing aroma. It is slow burning and cool. Just try it! YOU CAN DEPEND ON A LIGGETT & MYERS PRODUCT Courses Added For Educational School Majors More Subjects Required by New State Law for Teachers Several four hour courses in the school of education have been re duced to three hours by Dean J. R. Jewell, the nead of the school, who has been transferred to Eu gene from Corvallis. Dean Jewell explains that the state law requires more courses for a teacher's cer tificate than does the University course in education; therefore, in order to allow more time to the education majors to meet these requirements, this change has been made. However, says Dean Jew ell, this change will not work a hardship on the students but rath er on the instructors who handle these courses. Dean Jewell also points out that there is a great deal of difference between the departments of edu cation at Eugene and Corvallis. The University education majors learns to teach academics. These are based purely on acquired knowledge, and the student can easily be tested to show what he’ knows. On the other hand, the Corvallis student in education has to learn to teach vocations which are based on practical ability aritt can be tested dhly by actual handi work. 4Movie’ Evenings To Begin at YMCA Returning to the "movie eve ings" of -the war-time days when it was built, the University Y.

Movie Notes By WILLARD ARANT COLONIAL — "X Marks the | Spot." McDonald — "The Crash." STATE — “The Girl From Cal gary.” REX — “A Passport to Hell.” Colonial "X Marks the Spot" is an ex citing story of modern newsgath ering methods as practice on met ropolitan dailies: including a “hot’ columnist, a hard-boiled manag ing editor, and a reporter who solves a sensational crime. The title is taken from the “X" used in newspaper illustrations to designate the spot whicch the pa per wishes to point out to its read ers, and should not be construed as indicating a gangster story. ■The principal incident in the plot is the murder of a chorus girl, and the suspicion placed up on Ted, the columnist, by the po lice. From then on, the action is chiefly concerned with the detec tive work of the reporter, who must solve the crime to clear him self. Wallace Ford plays the part of the columnist, and Lew Cody gives a realistic portrayal of a metro politan managing editor. They are assisted in the cast by Sally Blane, Mary Nolan, and Fred Kohler. * * * McDonald Ruth Chatterton and George Brent, popular newlyweds of Hol lywood, play together for the sec ond time in “The Crash," showing at the Fox McDonald tonight onlyi Miss Chatterton has a role fine ly suited to her talents, and gives a performance similar to that in “The Rich Are Always With Us,” in which she also was starred with Brent. We cannot conceive of Miss Chatterton better cast than in the part of a luxury-demanding wife, who finds it hard to restrict her parties and good times. George Brent, the young Irish man who started in films only a year ago, is now recognized as one of the foremost of leading men. “The Crash" is a rather indif ferent story of stock market gam bling and its effect on the losers. Unclaimed Tennis Shoes To Be Sold Here This Week Tennis shoes, old and new, of ( all sizes, shapes, and descriptions, but all without owners are to be sold this coming Wednesday and Thursday in the. main dressing room of the women’s gymnasium. The sale, which is being sponsored by Hermian, women’s physical ed ucation honorary, will be open from 9 to 12 o’clock in the morn ing and from 2 to 6 in the after noon of both days. The sale, although an annual af fair, is the first in two years. Be cause of the number that have been allowed to collect the variety will be greater than in years past and consequently more bargains have been predicted. “It’ll pay to get tennis shoes,” remarked Jua nita Young, assisting with the sale, "You may think you don't need them now but you never can tell what you’ll be taking in gym next term or the term after.” Prices will be 25 and 50 cents. Many of the shoes have been worn only once during the physical ex amination upon entrance into the University, are never worn again and left in the basket at the end of the year. All suits so left are subject to fine and forfeit but to be absolutely fair all shoes for sale have been kept at least a year so that the owner might claim them. The girls in charge of the sale will be Thelma Brown, Juanita Young, Elizabeth Hahner, Dorothy Goff, and Dorothy MacLean, Rose Smith, and Doris Payne.
