Homecoming Play Has Strange Cast “Bury the Dead,” a new anti war play to be given by the Uni versity theatre as a feature of Homecoming weekend, will be one of the most specialized plays pre sented in several years with its cast of over thirty members including a Latin and Hebrew speaking rabbi and priest, and a singing soldier. There are no individual leads in the play and the cast is predomi nately masculine although there are seven important feminine char acters. The large cast is divided into three groups: the burial detail including the sergeant, captain, and soldiers. Gerry Smith, Wallie Boyle, George Bikman, Bill Suther land, Bud Winstead, and Jack Speer will play in this section. The second group of the cast is the six dead soldiers, who refused to be buried, Bob Henderson, Ern est Savage, Milton Pillette, Ken neth Kirtley, Dave Wilson, and Adrian Martin; the three generals, George F. Smith, Bob Biddle, and Gordon Williams; the priest and rabbi, Robert Vosper and C. D. Sisby; and the newspaper reporter and his editor, Lester Miller and Dan Clark II. The army doctor and his stenog rapher, Don Childers and Wendall Brooks; Bevins and Charley, "gun fodder” at the barricade; Ed Hearn and Jack Lewis are in the third di vision of the cast. A banker, Roy Knudsen, three business men, Ed gar Wulzen, Bob Elliott, and Or ville Hopkins, and the official ra dio speaker, William Dougherty, complete the men’s cast. Women’s roles are taken by Mar jorie Tucker, Adelyn Shields, Pat Neal, Eleanor Pitts, Marian Bauer, and Virginia Scoville. Geology Class Observes Glacial Changes on Trip Twenty-five students of the gen eral geology class made their first field trip of the year up Collier glacier Sunday looking for speci mens and observing the results of the retreat of the glacier. Leaders of the party were Dr. W. D. Smith, Lloyd Ruff, and A. L. Lomax, all of the University of Oregon. The party started from Eugene in automobiles, and drove as far as Frog Camp where they picked up some of the party who had arrived the night before. The group hiked up the slope of the glacier, and although they did not reach the top, gained an eleva tion of approximately 7200 feet. During the hike which was about 13 miles round trip, they observed a lake about 400 feet in diameter, made by the receding of the gla cier. Lava beds and a cinder cone covering the lower end of the gla cier were also seen. > ATOs Pile (Continued from page three) Sigina, 1; Sigma Alph Mu, 0 An overtime period was neces sary to decide the Sigma Hall Sammy game. Both teams checked well and neither was able to score during the prescribed period. Each team was given five plays, run off alternately, to see which could get farthest into the other’s territory. Sigma hall advanced about 20 yards past the center of the field, while holding the Sammies to no g in, and took the game by a 1-0 score.

The musicians displayed a re markable unison of tone, the four individuals often seeming as one unit. The selections of the pro gram were brilliantly contrasted. The numbers of the modernistic composers Bloch and Schulhoff were of especial interest. The entire program was well balanced and well within the un derstanding of the average student. Tiie last two concerts are to be given October 26, and November 9. Mrs. T. N. Holniquist to Leave to Join Husband Mrs. Thelma Nelson Holmquist, secretary of the engineering divi sion and physics department, is leaving this weekend to join her husband who has a teaching fel lowship at Purdue university, In diana. She received her B.A. in journalism from Oregon in 1933 and is a member of Phi Beta Kap pa, liberal arts honorary, and Theta Sigma Phi, journalism honorary for women. Miss Kathrine Parsons, daugh ter of Prof. Phillip A. Parsons, head of the sociology department, will take her place. She received her B.A. in 193f> and is a member of Pi Delta Phi, French honorary, and Sigma Delta Pi, Spanish hon orary. Douglas Orme Will Lead Eugene Junior Orehestra Douglas Orme, University ban-l director, will resume his duties as conductor of the Eugene junior symphony orchestra again this year. The orchestra, organized by Mr. Orme last year, will play one out of town concert in addition to its Eugene appearances. The first re hearsal is called for Saturday, Oc tober 17. Ducks Return (Continued front page three) was a weak spot for each team. Stanford averaged a mere 30 yards in eight boots, while the Webfoots averaged a measly 21 yards per attempt. Next Saturday in Portland the Ducks will fight Ted Banks’ Van dals. The Vandals, in spite of two conference defeats, 22-0 by Wash ington and 14-0 by Washington Slate, present a formidable eleven this year. A good rushing game combined with clover pass work is boasted by the Idaho team. Pass defense and perhaps a little work on an aerial attack will no doubt occupy of the Webfoots’ time this week in preparation to Satur day’s tilt. Subscriptions only $3.00 per year. Psychology Lah To Receive Film On Auto Fatigue Notice that a 1000-foot sound film, “Take It Easy” which covers the subject of auto fatigue and its effect on the motorist, will be pre sented as a gift to the psychology laboratory as a gift from the Chry sler corporation at Detroit was re cently received by L. F. Beck, as sistant professor of psychology. The film will be of exceptional val ue in the instruction of classes. It will be shown in class some day this week. The subject is based on observa tions by Andrew H. Ryan, M.D., who for the past several years has devoted himself to research prob lems of occupation, nutrition, and hygiene in industry. The subject of auto fatigue is of great importance because of the dariger it presents deterioration or impairment of human functions, which should be precise while driv ing, and lowering of efficiency in the performance of work. University Library Fines Are Greater Than OSC’s Oregon students pay 40 per cent more money out in library fines and rentals than do OSC students. The reason for this, according to M. H. Douglass, librarian, is the fact that the percentage of circu lation of the Oregon libraries is higher than OSC. Higher circula tion is accounted for by the differ ence in the curriculum of the two schools with Oregon's curriculum one that calls for less technical work and more theory reading. Dr. D. D. Gage Returns From Midwest Meeting Dr. D. D. Gage, professor of business administration, met his classes yesterday after returning, from a nine-day trip to Springfield, Illinois. As a guest speaker at the national convention of the Ameri can Title association last week, he spoke on “Trends in Title Assuring Method's.” Author of “Land Title Assuring Agencies in the United States,” Dr. Gage is an authority in this field. Vollimes From Scotland To Complete Files Arriving from Edinburgh, Scot land this week, a shipment of 18 volumes of Burlingame magazine nearly completes the book of files of this art magazine in the Univer sity library. The volumes covered the year 1903 through 1911. The magazine is one of the best maga zines for art connoisseure pub lished, according to Styles, order manager. -CANOE$“ FOR SALE $12.00 anti up 1). T.

Gilbert of the school of social science has had published an article setting forth the hidden dangers of tax limita tions. The article, which appears in the Oregon section of the October is-, sue of the Western Citv magazine, was in connection with the pro posed amendment on tax limita tion. Chief attention in the article is given to the cities whose difficulty arises because of city debts. Ac cording to Dean Gilbert the debt service must be taken care of and all the reductions enforced by the proposed amendment must come out of the operating budget. This leaves many Oregon cities nothing on which to operate. Faculty Golf (Continued from parie three) men have entered, but there will be women’s meet if enough turn in scores. Otherwise the feminine faculty members will compete with the men. ’ L. J. Thielmann’s qualifying round of 84 is the lowest turned in for 18 holes thus far. Mr. Hulten, with 85, is next in line. Other scores follow: W. A. Dahlberg, 97; Carl L. Johnson, 107; Rudolf Ernst, 88; K. S. Ghent, 120; Orville Undstrom, 87; Richard Collins, 88; E. H. Moore, 101; W. P. Riddles holes), 52; E. R.

Taylor have qualified but their scores have not beer, reported. Firing Line YContinucd from par/e three) should have trounced the Indians. Poor punting had a lot to do with failure to win. though the even-stephen outcome satisfied most followers. Arieigh Bentley was a shining light in other de partments, but he couldn’t get the old kicking toe in form, and Ore gon’s punting for the contest aver aged 21.3 yards. From passes the Webfoots made not a solitary yard, but that was nothing unusual. In three games this season the lads have hurled the prolate spheroid into the at mosphere 17 times and not once, not even one little once, has it connected safely with a receiver's arms. The passing wasn’t essential Saturday. The Webfoots outplaved Stanford’s line by several mile.s and gained plenty of yardage on terra firma. Dale Lasselle and Bob Braddock were the big ground gainers. Lasselle, eve witnesses say, turned in the best game of his career. Pulling Center Vern Moore out of the line on defense seemed to be a tonic for the Webfoots. That 6-1-2-2 style of play was hard on Stanford’s passes. No sooner does a football team get out of a frying pan than It tumbles into a fire. Grid squads can’t rest on their laurels until the end of the season, and then they aren’t likely to have any laurels to rest upon. With Stanford out of the way, the Webfoots turn now toward Idaho. Dick Reed, the end coach, scouted the Vandals last week, and he says they are a coming outfit. Reed reports that Ted Bank has big, fast men running ail over the field up at Moscow. They’ll out SAVE on . . . • Repairing • Cleaning • Pressing 15% Discount on Cash and Carry IRVIN & IRVIN punt Oregon, and, most assuredly, they’ll outpass the Webfoots.
