Bryant Talks
On Far East
Situation atlO
Ex-Navy Officer Will
Discuss US Defense
Relation to Orient
At Gerlinger
In order to indicate the problems
of the Far East and its changing
aspects of world power, Stewart
F. Bryant, retired lieutenant-com
mander of the United States navy,
will speak at 10 o’clock in Ger
linger hall this morning and at an
open forum in Alumni hall at 11.
“The Far Eastern Situation:
Causes, Consequences, and Our De
fense” will be the topic of the lec
turer. For background, he will
draw on years of experience in the
Orient. For three years just after
the war he served as staff intelli
gence officer to the commander in
chief of the United States Asiatic
fleet. He holds memberships in the
Japanese society, Order of the Ris
ing Sun, and in the Chinese bro
therhood, Order of the Chiao Ho.
Graduated from Annapolis
Twenty-five years ago, Mr. Bry
ant was grauated from the naval
academy at Annapolis, and went
into naval and foreign service
work. To Turkey, Siberia, China,
Japan, Korea, Mexico, all over the
face of the globe he traveled. He
received a World war medal, a
Czecho-Slovak war cross. In 1921
he was liaison officer for the In
ternational Military police in Vladi
vostok. Later he was a member
of President Harding’s special mis
sion to the Philippines under Gen
eral Leonard Wood and Governor
Cameron Forbes.
In 1929 he retired from his naval
post of lieutenant-commander and
since that time has devoted most of
his time to lecturing and writing,
most of which is on international
affairs problems.

Emory university professors
are a bit bewildered by phenom
enal 14-year-old Willis Dysart,
a rural Georgia youth with only
two years of schooling.
In his head, he can do among
other things such mathematical
unbelievables as find the square
root of 138, 799, 961 and add
seven three-digit figures accur
ately. One of this wizard’s spe
cial stunts'is to ask a person’s
birthday, then tell the age in the
number of seconds he has lived.
Fees Foes Fight
The University of Washing

Martins Clears
Question Over
Trophy's Name
Call it the “Governor’s Tro

With political accusations fly
ing fast in advance of the com

20, this accurate name was made

of his opponents that he had
used state funds to purchase
Christmas cards and the $250
trophy to be presented the crack

“It will be a permanent tro

'College Side Gyp’ Cast
In Coming Production
That well know College Side character "Gyp” is the newest
member of the University theater company. The grizzled veteran,
Newt Smith’s dog, is.to play the famous “Crab” in Shakespeare’s
"Two Gentlemen of Verona” which opens next Thursday for a three
day run. The play is to be performed in the new garden theater
back of the music building.
Among the famous clowns created by Shakespeare, Launce and
his dog “Crab” stand close to the top in excellence. Many come
dians from the famous Will Kemp of Shakespeare’s own company
to Ben Greet of the present century have been delighted by the role.
The role of Launce has been considerably deleted in times past
as it is a true example of Elizabethan humor and a little broad
for Victorian ears. Assuming that campus audiences are not averse
to the heary humor of the good old days, the clown’s lines will be
retained in their full form in the present show.
“Gyp” in the part of “Crab” has no lines, his part is purely
pantomime, but his exceptional stage presence and power of sustain
ing character in tryouts has made Director Mrs. Seybolt look on
him as a find.
The remainder of the cast is made up of Guild players, Very
Little theater players, and of members of the technique of acting,
play production, and interpretation classes.

Accepted by all members of the

it as such. Bryant made an effort
to impress upon his listeners that
“the search for the vital elements
of national affairs is a matter of
ilife and death” and that every citi
zen must be made to realize its
importance. He proposed the ap
