ROTC Accepts
Rifle Challenges
University marksmen will par
ticipate in two postal rifle shoots
this week, said Sergeant Harvey
Blythe, ROTC instructor, yester
day. Matches are with Boston col
lege and the University of Ken
tucky.
“We don’t expect any such
scores from the Oregon teams as
last year," said Sergeant Blythe.
"However, the boys are improving,
and we hope to make a creditable
showing.
About thirty students have been
practicing all week. Some of these
have dropped, and next week's
teams will be picked from those
remaining.
Bast year’s championship teams
won from both schools by a wide
margin. Scores were: Oregon
1900, Kentucky 17711; and Oregon
1913, Boston 1(>9(>.

Operation at Pacific
John Hogg, senior in economics
underwent an emergency appen
dectomy at the Pacific hospital
Tuesday evening just before six
o'clock.
Hogg’s physician, Dr. George
Hurley, said that Hogg's condition,
although uncomfortable, was not
critical. At the hospital attend
ants said that he was resting.

History of 'Street Scene9
Shows Many Rejections
Rimer Rice, author of "Street
Irene,” which ripens Friday for a
hree-day run at :the University
heat re, did not find a host of New
fork theatrical producers waiting
agerly to produce his play when
le completed it, despite the fact
hat he had been wr iting plays for
Broadway audiences intermittent
y since 1914.
Jn fact, the play went the rounds
if every prominent producer in
view York and was turned down
■vnn by those who had formerly
rroduced Rice's other plays.
In those pre-depression days, the
rroducers said the public wasn’t
nterested in the serious problems
tnd stark realism that “Street
!cene” presented. Furthermore,
hey claimed, it wasn't really a
day in the Broadway sense of the
vord; it was a panoramic cross
ection of city life (and a none too
deasant one at that) which had
10 beginning and less ending.
Not easily discouraged, Play
vright Rice refused to doubt the
nerits of "Street Scene” and so he
sisurely set about writing another
ilay, this time in a satirical vein,
"his he called "See Naples and Die
laughing.”
In the meantime one Broadway
iroducer who had seen better days
nd whose judgment of public taste
was considered none too good, de
cided to take a chance on “Street
Scene.”
Rice himself cast, directed, and
supervised the stupendous task of
a Broadway opening. It opened
unpretentiously in January and
immediately received high praise
from New York’s poker-faced
drama critics and simultaneously
became a hit with the play-going
public.
Honors followed fast; in early
spring after running only three
months “Street Scene” won the
1929 Pulitzer prize of $1000 for the
best American play produced in
New York during the year. Subse
quently a movie version was made
starring Sylvia Sidney, and "Street
Scene” became known from Maine
to California. It has the distinc
tion of one of the longest Broad
way runs in history—601 contin
uous performances in New York
alone.
Advance ticket sale for the Pul
itzer prize drama’s presentation on
the campus indicate capacity
houses for its three performances.
Tickets are on sale at the theatre
box office in the administration
building, downtown at McMorran
and Washburne's, and at the Co-op.

The opinion of those present at'
the meeting, although it was not ,
clearly stated nor unanimously
agreed to, suggested that the na- ,
tional program be used as a basis .
of the local chapter’s policies. The ,
constitutional committee main
tained that its program was de
rived from the national policies.
About 50 students attended the
meeting. Interest in the organiza
tion of an Oregon chapter of the
American Student Union, or of a
group accomplishing its general
purposes, has been keen to date.

One advantage that arises from

For the third successive time

He has just received a request
rom the employers and employees

letween them. He stated yesterday
hat it would probably be neces
iary for him to go to Portland to
conduct a formal hearing before
warding his decision.

:ompany was accepted less than a

lis former award of last fall be

Dean Morse established a record

Pacific Columbia river division and

1929. It was immediately a hit
with both the public and the
critics, which is a rather rare, com
bination.
Won Pulitzpr Prize
In the early spring, after run
ning only three months, it received
the famed Pulitzer prize for the
best American play produced in
New York. Subsequently a movie
version appeared starring Sylvia
Sidney, and its popularity spread
from coast to coast. Since that
time it has rated high in recent
American drama and has been pro
duced extensively both in this
country and abroad.
The advance ticket sale for the
play indicates a sell-out for its
three performances: tonight, Sat

Tickets are on sale at both Mc
