Drama Chief To Play Lead Role Again ‘Outward Bound’ Opens April 10, to be Offered At Request of Many Horace Robinson, drama instruc tor, who directed the highly suc cessful "Street Scene,” will play the lead in the next University theatre production, "Outward Bound” by Sutton Vane, which opens in Guild hall, April 10. Mr. Robinson will play the role of Tom Pryor a role in which he scored a success in the East a few years ago. The part is a powerful one that would tax the abilities of any actor. Tom Pryor is a young wastrel who has strong powers of analysis, both of self and of others, but is short on will power. He is a likeable fellow, but subject to drunkenness. In spite of his bad habits Pryor is one of these rare chaps who seems to be able to get away with doing the wrong thing by doing it at the right time. Second Role This role will be the second played by Mr. Robinson since coming to the University three years ago. His first was a short, but well received comedy bit in Pinero’s "The A ma sons.” Another experienced performer who will help maintain the gripping atmosphere created in the lines of this strange but effective play is Mary Bennett, who also played a comedy role in "The Amazons” and since has scored successes in var ious Little Theatre productions. Miss Bennett is cast in the difficult part of the wistful mother, Mrs. Midget. "Outward Bound” came as a “re quest" play, both through the Em erald and various students anil townspeople. Mrs. Ottilie Turnbull Seybolt is directing the cast. She is devoting a great deal of time to the play, which has the qualities of be ing one of the best in Guild hall his tory, according to many faculty members who have read it. Shows Two Weekends The play will show on two suc cessive weekends, April 10, 11, and 17, 18. The six other roles in “Outward Bound” will be filled by Portia Booth, who will play the part of Ann; Bill Cottrel, as Henry; Dick Koken, as Lingley; Helen Camp bell, as Mrs. Clivedon-Banks; Chuck Barclay, as Reverend Duke; and Bud Winstead, as Scrubby.

Spring’s Here, With Romance On the Old Millrace I!y WAYNE HAHBERT Tt's spring! When spring comes to the Ore gon campus, a young man's thoughts turn to the sparkling mill race, soft drinks, tennis, a health radiating sun tan. formal dances, and romance. After registration closes this af ternoon. books will be forgotten until the bold rains and biting winds of next fall term whirl the leaves from the trees now budding, making it enjoyable to curl up in a chair and study before a cracking fire. Although the first day of spring in Eugene brought a flurry of snow, spring is here to stay. Stroll through the grave yard. Forget the chill of the superstition-inspiring tomb stones and the decayed re mains of relatives and study the surrouding countryside a pano rama of the season. Note the flowering shrubs which bank the campus—walls of yellow forsythia. the scarlet Japanese quince, the snowy-white hedges of the spirea, and the pink-tinged blos soms of the plum trees. Students returning to the cam pus of Oregon tradition today, with continuance of the unheralded March sunshine, will be promenad ing in new spring clothes, white shoes, flannels, palm beach suits, and light silk prints. Gone will be the heavy clicking brogues and warmth-giving overcoats of win ter. Tops of convertibles will be low ered to race along the country roads, the billowing breezes of spr ing playing across the landscape of spring glory. Romance, this term, will result in the removal of many fraternity pins from the vests of Oregon’s men, past records indicate.

Junior Weekend heads the rous ing welcome of spring. It is then that over-confident frosh usually fall prey to the brains of the lesser numbered sophs in the annual tug of-war across the mill race. Tradi tional, too. is the painting of yellow which is applied to the “O” on Skin ner’s butte by the freshmen. Then the crowning feature, the 1 canoe fete, is floated down the mill race before several thousands who are attracted by the rich pageantry of the event. From snow sports, students will turn, to drive to the beaches or bask in the sun on their own front lawn or on the banks of the mill race. Yes, spring at Oregon only comes once a year! Under our system of govern ment, with the military always under civilian authorities, with the momentous decision of peace or war always left to the elected representatives of the people, the danger that our army may pre cipitate a conflict is too remote for consideration. — Gen. Malin Craig, U. S. army. i ASUO Calls Junior Class Assembly Nominations VI ill Be Held Tuesday Night at 7:30; Politicians Prepare A special meeting to nominate officers of the junior class will be held tomorrow night at 7:30 in Vil lard hall, it was decreed last night by ASUO President Jim Blais. "Class politicians had better be prepared to nominate tonight or else,” he said. "Further stalling will make it impossible to make ap pointments in time to successfully present Junior Weekend.” This is the second time a class meeting has been called by ASUO officials, before the last meeting, politicians decided to elect a tem porary chairman to make necessary appointments. Since then he has been declared to lack authority to make any appointment by the ju diciary committee. Constitutionally, it will be impos sible to hold an election until next Tuesday.
