SOVIET DIRIGIBLE CRASHES; 13 DEAD University Play Group to Present 'Stage Door' Soon Horace W. Robinson To Direct Cast of 32 In Broadway Hit Movt TTnivpr«itv tVinator* nvnrlnn. tion will be one of the first ama teur performances in the United States of the Edna Ferber-George S. Kaufman hit, “Stage Door.” The movie adaptation of the show storred Katherine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, and Adolph Men jou, and the original stage pro duction is still running in New York. The play is also to be feat ured at the sectional meeting of the National theater conference to be held in Seattle soon. Problems Foreseen Many problems are presented for Director Horace W. Robinson, the principal one being that most of the large cast is on stage most of the time. The principal scene, familiar to those who saw the pic ture is laid in the living room of a theatrical boarding house for young women. Difficulty was experienced in ob taining permission for use of the play which still has not been re leased for amateur production. Playing dates are to be arranged to fall just after the date of re lease. Drivers' Licenses Available Friday Drivers’ licenses, both operators’ and chauffeurs’, will be available in Eugene next Friday, February It, at the Knights of Pythias hall, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., accord ing to an announcement from the secretary of state’s office in Salem. 1 1 Today’s Emerald IS made possible by the following advertisers 1 Consequently they deserve your support!

A faculty member recalls that one problem called for tile roofing. To obtain the desired tiling, the girl working on the design sacrificed ivuuuci I wiuuiuji isrvii c. tires at another time solved the problem. Although it is not necessary, students often landscape the plot upon which they build their house or other building. The clever little green trees used are a source of wonder to the uninitiated. But to the student architects it's nothing. “Very simple,” observed one stu dent. “All you do,” she explained, “is clip the desired size from a sponge, put it on a piece of match j stick or some other material, and i there is your tree!” — Follow Through (Continued from page three) That was all from Hec and the Husky dressing room, for Hec was intent on talking a little with his boys and feeding them the after the-game oranges. From the Washington dressing room to the other end of the Ig loo basement in one step . . . the scene changes to catch Coach Hob by Hobson and his Ducks. Hobby was reaay with “If we can play ball 40 minutes, we’ll be all right,” but Laddie Gale, the big ! boy who tossed 18 points to tie for I honors with Dave Silver, wasn't j talking because as he said the last time he said something—after the i first OSC game—well, Oregon lost. Feminine fans probably won dered why little Wally Johansen was charged with a technical foul ... most of them thought Wally Jo was getting a bit nasty (and Wally was such a nice boy, too!) ... well, rest easily, ladies, he wasn’t swearing at the referee, nor did he hit that Washington player intentionally . . . take it from him he was just disgusted with himself for traveling . . . and Frank Heniges thought Johansen was speaking disrespectfully to him . . . (Jo’s first reaction was to say, “I’m sorry” to the Washing tonian he hit). High spot—In the first half, Roy Williamson, Washington howitzer specialist, let fly a beauty that split the hoop . . . but just as it came through, up went Oregon’s Gale to meet it and knock it up and out again. * * * Sad story—the basket counted. * * * It may have been true—anyhow, here’s the story, you judge it . . . Bobby Anet, dribbling ball down the floor charged into Washing ton's Dorsey, but Referee Coleman, standing in back of the play, saw only Dorsey hit Anet. Both Dorsey and Anet laughed as the latter drew the foul. On practically the very next play, it looked like Anet deliberately charged Dorsey in or der to give the latter a free throw and make up for the decision on , the first play . . . both Anet and Dorsey laughed and joked again as the Husky forward stepped up for the throw . . . but we wouldn’t say . . . we wouldn’t say. * * 3: Good sportsmanship — Silver, Anet. and Johansen shaking hands and patting Werner on the back as the Washington captain left the floor with too many fouls . . . also Harry Lockhart doing the same to Captain Bobby when he too left the game. * 3= * Pretty shot Pat Dorsey mortar shot from center court that didn’t touch the hoop. Pretty play — Anet smoothly stealing the ball from Lockhart and dribbling down all alone for a cripple. Cleaning arid Pressing at the i Dudley Field Shop, 85c.

Souls at Sea” with Gary Cooper, Frances Dee, George Raft, and Olympe Bradna starts at the May flower tonight for a two-day run. The sea yarn begins in a court room where Gary Cooper is being tried for manslaughter. Then the picture slowly unfolds the preced ing events leading up to this trial. Seems that Cooper had dealings in slave-trading. When this revela tion is made to the girl he loves, Frances Dee, she turns her back to him. The plot reaches an anti climax as the ship they are on sets afire. Only one boat is available and it is so over-crowded that Cooper has to shoot those who oppose him and drown those clinging to the sides of the boat. When the boat reaches safety, Cooper is put on trial for manslaughter on the high seas. Since he refuses to defend himself, things look bad. The trial and the murder charge were the fragmentary basis on which this picture was built. Some one chanced to run across the pro ceedings of the trial in records dating back to 1841. Faculty Men Meet Municipal Director i After a two-day conference with Herman Kehrli and R. S.

Point-Minded (Continued from paye two) Immediately they started their scoring rampage with Miller and McClung tossing the ball through the hoop, but several times it look ed black for their hopes of a shut out as the Campbell boys took shots at the hoop.

Students Do Studying Latter Part of Week By PAT ERICKSON When do University students study? Records at the Reserve department of tire University library seem to indicate that most studying is done on Thursday and Saturday nights. With Saturday's circulation tops, it is only natural that the great est toll of overdue books should fall on Sunday and Monday, says Moscow Prof Asks Theatre Dope, Photos The following letter was re ceived by the drama department yesterday from'Moscow, Russia: Moscow, 20 Jan., 1938 University Theater, Eugene, Oregon. Dear Sir: I take the liberty of asking I you to inform me about the ac ! tivity of your theater. Working at the Institute of I Theater Art, I am very inter ' ested in organization of the scenic education in U.S.A. and in the work of University thea ters. I'll be infinitely obliged to you if you can send me most detailed description of the ac tivity of your University Thea ter, his repetory, descriptions of performances, and some photos. I will be very glad, if I can be of any service to you. Yours truly, Prof. S. S. Ignatof, Storoconiushinny per,17,7 Moscow 2., U.S.S.R. Mrs. Ottilie Turnbull Seybolt states that in as far as possible, Professor Ignatof’s requests will i be met.

Tuesday night's circulation is not far behind that of Thursday, while Monday, Wednesday, and Friday continue with an even and slightly lower average. With the University schedule ar ranged as it is, that is, with the heaviest classes for the most part on Monday, Wednesday, and Fri day, the logical effect is that the greatest amount of studying be done on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Tuesday’s lag indicates that stu dents don’t really get worried at the middle of the week, says Mr. Warren, and wait until Thursday to get all their work cleared up for the weekend in as much as they can. Saturday night and Sunday morning they like to do their studying for Monday classes, he believes. Saturday finds almost no over due books, owing to tlje fact,, says Mr. Warren, that the return dead line is an hour later than week days. An average Saturday overnight circulation is around 200; Thurs day, 125; and Tuesday, 80. An ap proximation for Monday, Wednes day, and Friday each, is 65. Send the Emerald home to Dad every morning.
