They may not be big mira cles, but there may be small mir acles!” Thus Mac, the kindly old ticket seller of New York's “Firty-third street theatre” creates the mood and warns the audience of im pending catastrophe in "Small Miracle,” Norman Krasna’s sensa tional Broadway success which will be presented in the University theatre on May 4 and 6, not only as the first amateur production of this new play which has won the unqualified approval of New York’s critics. “Small Miracle,” running for 16 weeks in America's theatre center, is concerned with the idea that a very small incident may bring about a whole series of events that culminate in the paradoxical situ ation of solving the apparently un solvable and around the main thread-plot of a thwarted murder or, miserable that he is to be hanged before he can get revenge on his “squealer,” is woven many sub-plots that involve a great number of unrelated persons brought together, by chance, into the lounge of a theatre. And the results, as Walter Win ched wrote in a New York paper, are that “The town has its first exciting, and exhilarating show. Tense, arresting and breath-taking. One outstanding amusement worth any playgoers investment.” Percy Hammond of the Herald Tribune said, “It gets my vote as a tip-top crime show,” and Brooks Atkinson, writing for the Times, stated, “this is modern, realistic drama at its best.” The play, “Small Miracle,” in book form, has just come off the press, but is not yet on sale in western book stores, so this will be the first and only possible chance for students and townspeo Eugene Pastors Fine] Favor With Referendum Bill Signatures on Petitions Are Sought by Group Various Eugene ministers and those from surrounding parishes have announced their approval of the student referendum on Senate bill 204, and are willing to speak from the pulpit in favor of the move. More ministers are being contacted and it is expected that most of the ministers in the county will give their approval. Also many letters from U. of O. graduates have been sent to the committee, according to Howard Ohmart, campus chairman at a meeting of the student relief committee at the Y hut last night. Many letters from granges and Townsend clubs requesting peti tions or giving speaking dates have been received. Among these are the Townsend clubs in Cottage Grove, Junction City, Cheshire, Leona, and Albany. It was also announced at the meeting that today will again be referendum day. Any students will ing to circulate petitions down town should see or call Howard Ohmart at the Y.M.C.A. on or be fore 1 o'clock. The circulating will be done in four shifts, 1 to 2:30, 2:30 to 4, 4 to 5:30 and from 5:30 until the circulator decides to quit. Stephen Kahn will furnish trans portation from the College Side downtown and back as long as the gas holds out. Many students have announced their intention of going to Corvallis next week to see the students there who are in sympathy with the cause. It was decided to start calling in the petitions in order to have suf ficient time to check these. Many have already been turned in, among these 1000 names from Senator Carney of Clackamas county. Wil lis Mahoney, progressive mayor of Klamath Falls has signified his in tention to help and has tentatively promised 1000 signatures. These announcements lent an attitude of optimism to the meeting as the number of signatures is 10,232.

Resume (Continued from Paae One) urged the appointment of a na tional commission to study hank-1 ing laws before enactment of any new legislation. F.D. Appoints Hopkins WASHINGTON —P resident Roosevelt today selected Harry L. Hopkins to round out a works tri umvirate charged with putting four billion dollars into the drive to take off the relief rolls all who are able to work. In a colorful press conference, the president told a hundred or more newspaper correspondents, that Hopkins, Secretary Ickes and Frank C. Walker would be of equal rank in carrying out the works program. John F. Bovard (Continued from Pac/e One) would be taken down, the walls redecorated and the room lined with accoustic material. This pro gram should make the room suit able for lectures and student gath erings as well as for dances. The west portion of the building would remain as it is, housing the admin istrative offices. It was suggested that the downstairs be rebuilt to house the Co-op store and a cafe teria. The swimming pool would remain to be used for social swims, Mild Ripe Tobacco... Aged 2 years or more —the farmer who grows the tobacco . . . —tbe warehouseman who sells it at auction to the highest bidder . . . —every man who knows about leaf tobacco—will tell you that it takes mild, ripe tobacco to make a good cigarette; and this is the kind we buy for CHEST ERFIELD Cigarettes. All of the tobacco used in CHESTERFIELD Cigarettes is aged for two years or more. Liggett & Myers tobacco Co. a small part of the downstairs be ing- given over to dressing rooms. “Not only is Gerlinger hall an ideal spot for such a project,” stated Bovard, “but it is so built that it would be comparatively in expensive to change it into a fine student union building. The front portion could remain the same. The walls of the gymnasium are of wood. These walls can be remod elled easily, cutting down the ex pense The remodelling of Gerling er could be done for about $45,000. A real job could be done for that price." In Dr. Bovard’s opinion the need for a student union building and a modern physical education plant at Oregon cannot be over-emphasized. A student union building would provide space for all students at the University to hold large or small social and business meetings. Lounge rooms and recreation fa cilities would provide places for students to gather and meet one another. The remodelling of the gym room should fill the require ment for an attractive lecture hall and ballroom. The possibilities of redecorating this room, with the estimated price of $45,000 for the entire project, would be great. "Some years ago when the stu dents voted to levy on themselves a building fund fee they planned not only on building McArthur court, the east grandstand and the new athletic field, but also a stu dent union building which they might call their own," concluded Dr. Bovard. "I am very interest ed in the entire plan, and hope to see a student union building and a new physical education plant on the Oregon campus in the near future.” igigrararamjBEiaisrajSMaiaiajSiaElSlSJSiajoi BUNS When you plan a picnic you will want oven fresh buns.
