Part in 'Private Lives’ Only One of Roadman’s Many Theatrical Activities By ELIZABETH ANN JONES Talented in more ways than one is Wilfred Roadman, who will open in “Prviate Lfves" on Friday night in the University theater in Johnson hall when he will take the part of Victor Prynne, second husband of the vivacious Amanda, as portrayed by Kay McAlear. Roadman's name is currently before the public as the composer of many of the lyrics of the all-campus musical comedy “With Fear and Trembling, now going into pro duction. Has Many Activities A senior in English at the Uni versity, Roadman devotes most of his time and interest to play pro duction, acting, and composing. University audiences will re member him for his highly amusing potrayal of the clown, “Speed,” in the drama division's version of Shakespeare’s “Two Gentlemen of Verona” produced last spring in the outdoor theater of the music department. Not content with interpretation, he added playwriting to his list of accomplishments, when his “A Slight Case of Pink” was produced by the Eugene Very Little Theater group. Roadman was director in charge of the play, which he originally wrote for Mrs. R. H. Ernst’s play-writing class. Composed for 1938 Fete The melody background, “Shad owlight” for the 1938 canoe fete was one of Roadman’s musical compositions. HE I Lie LAST TIMES TODAY John Barrymore THE GREAT MAN VOTES’ -pins ‘ADVENTURE in SAHARA’ with Paul Kelly_ LAST TIMES TODAY ‘SPAWN OF THE NORTH’ George Raft, Henry Fonda Dorothy Lamour ‘I’LL GIVE A MILLION’ Warner Baxter I I_ Talented Wilfred Roadman . . . keeps busy on campus production. “If I could play a character of my own choosnig, I should do Harry Van Loan from Robert Sherwood’s 'Idiot’s Delight,’” Roadman stated. The versatile actor-producer has gone before the footlights of the University theater as Hippie in “As Husbands Go,” as Shem in “Noah,” as Freddy in George Ber nard Shaw’s “Pygmalion,” and as the Hollywood producer in “Stage Door.” He also carried a part in the Very Little theater production of “Lady Windermere's Fan.” The part of Victor, while not the lead in Coward’s comedy, is an interesting one and will require careful handling and a subtlety of which Roadman has already dem onstrated his capability.

False Celling A false ceiling, indirect lighting, two-colored velour drapes along the walls, Scabbard and Blade shields and service medals will be installed by the Allied Arts studios of Portland, Childers announced after receiving final plans from the professional decorators. The drab interior of Gerlinger will be completely hidden by the red, white, and blue military deco rations. All lighting fixtures will be placed along the walls and the dancers, arrayed in tuxedos or dress military uniforms, will find themselves completely removed from the usual Gerlniger surround ings, Childers stated. One more candidate for Little Colonel, who will be chosen during the dance by popular vote, was an nounced last night by Jack Gavin, captain of the University company of Scabbard and Blade. She is Aletha Morris, and is the candi date of Orides. This year the selection of candi date will be done entirely by popu lar vote, with all 21 candidates listed on the ballot Saturday night. There will be no preliminary elimination of candidates by the dance committee or by Scabbard and Blade, sponsors of the annual dance. Invitations have been extended to both Governor Charles A. Sprague and former Governor Charles H. Martin to attend the dance as guests of honor. Calling 'Em Quick (Continual from Page Two) beaten but far from discouraged ball club. Said Bill McDonald, husky cen ter: “We’ll try to give them a ball game tomorrow night. No, we’re not squawking about not having Voelker. And say, this Dick is about the most improved ball play er I’ve seen.” And Harry Lockhart, forward ■ “That’s by far the fastest ball we’ve played this year. Some of that Oregon shooting was uncanny. Yes, Dorsey and Williamson were pretty ‘hot’ tonight.” Upholding the Duck end of it, on the floor and off, Slim Winter mute makes this contribution: “I’ll say that was tough. They've got a good ball club.” Why didn’t Dick Voelker, the high scoring Husky forward, play ? That was a well-battered question at the conclusion of last night’s game. Well, Voelker, was taken ill at the Eugene hotel. The information comes direct from Bob Dorr oi“the Huskies and Chick Barnett of the Seattle Star. Wally Johansen’s dad was on hand to see the game, and as he put it, he saw "a ball game." ‘‘I've never seen two teams get hot at the same time before like they did at the start of the second half." Johnny Dick gets No. 1 spot in the parade of the “fives." At the conclusion of five minutes of play last night, the score was Oregon 5, Huskies 5. and Johnny Dick had scored 5 points himself. Again at the 11-minute mark, the score was playing tricks with itself, Oregon 11, Washington 11. Calling 'em quick . . .. Hec Ed mundsoo still wears his bow tie . . . can it be the same one ? . . .

The San Carlo Opera ballet is a group of young, attractive, and exceptionally gifted dancers, who create realistic illusion in the inci dental dances of the opera. They will be seen at the Paramount theater, Portland, when the Sal Carlo Opera company comes there for four days starting Friday. In “Carmen,” the first of the six operaes, which will be presented Another Star Mostyn Thomas . . . sings with the San Carlo Opera company. Music Class Steals March On Love Series John Stark Evans stole a march, more or less, on the near ing “Love and Marriage” series yesterday in his counterpoint class in the muisc building. While speaking of wedding music he informed the members of the class that when they get married they shouldn’t dash madly down the aisle after the ceremony but should walk more slowly, because that’s the only chance the audience has to see the lovely bride. When she marches down the aisle all the audience sees of her is her back and her long train. Another point Professor Evans admitted was that the most beautiful part of wedding music is when the organ is not playing. And incidentally Evans plays the organ himself. Klamath Five (Continued from page two) encounter. Deverall was the spear head of the Duckling attack, though only finding the basket for three counters. Wakeman Leads Victors Ed Wakeman, another former Klamath high school player, was high man for the invaders with 10 points to his credit. Joe Belloti, former Klamath high star, Johnny Pastega, former football candidate under Prink Callison, and Howard Scroggins, former Souhtern Oregon normal school flash, all sank nine points for the winners. Scroggins kept the Duckling squad in hot water most of the game with his long, looping how itzers which seem to find the bas ket with uncanny accuracy. Leonard Card, frosh high scoring forward, dropped in nine points to follow Cavcn losers. Summary: Frosh (35) Card (9) . Cavcn (14) . Thompson (1) . Galbreaith (5) Kilborn (2). Sarkela (1) .

New dance ar rangements will be introduced for the Spanish background of Bizet's opera. In the fourth act of ‘'Car men," the solo work of Lydia Ar lova, premiere danseuse, and Lu cien Prideaux, premier danseur, and the tambourine ensemble are especially effective. ‘Martha’ in English “Martha,” which will be staged, Saturday matinee and which will j be rendered in English, has an entire ballet program following the performance. In these ballet di vertissements, the corps de ballet will be seen in various classic and popular dances. “II Trovatore,” Saturday night's opera, affords another colorful set for the ballet to add to the pro duction. Sunday afternoon’s performance will be “Madame Butterfly,” with Hizi Koyke in the title role. “Faust,” which will be given Sunday evening, is another opera which incidental dances by the corps de ballet lend colors and grace. ‘Tannhauscr’ to Be Given In the first act of “Tannhauser,” the final opera of the engagement, which will be presented Monday night, the “Venusberg” music and the scene in the hill of Venus, beg gars description. It is a ravishment of sensuous delight, with lovely nymphs and sirens dancing in voluptuous abandon. Tickets for the San Carlo opera are now on sale at the J. K. Gill company, 5th and Stark streets, Portland, or can be ordered by mail, addressed to the Paramount theater. Demand for the tickets has been unusually heavy this sea son, due to the limited engagement of four days, according to the management. Women Ad Writers Hear Two Graduates Gamma Alpha Chi, women’s ad vertising honorary, presented two guests as a part of the AWS voca tional guidance series yesterday in Gerlinger from 1:30 to 5:30. They are Mrs. Harriette Hofmann Buzan, representative of Charles F. Berg, and Miss Ann Baum, rep resentative of Lipman, Wolfe, and company. The guests addressed all girls interested in advertising and department store work. Personal interviews were made with them through the dean of women’s of fice. Both Miss Baum and Mrs. Bu zan arc graduates of the Univer sity. Miss Baum was president of AWS in 1931. Seniors! Do You Want More School? —For Gals Only Attention seniors and graduate students!

Campus politicians and others interested in ASUO management have accounted for most of the copies given out, with many also going to faculty members. The book represents the first ef fort of an ASUO governing body to make the students familiar with srnoe of the by-laws and regula tions governing the student body. Originators of the idea claim that it will eliminate much of the con troversy caused by inadequate knowledge of how ASUO business is conducted. Dean Earl Favored Book Dean of Men Virgil Earl, who it was first decided to have the book, pointed out that "The idea is new, but I think it is a very good thing that every student will have a chance to know under what set of regulations he is being governed." In addition to the ASUO consti tution the pamphlet contains the constitution of the Associated Women students, and each of the classes. It also defines and gives the requirements for student awards, such as letters for foot ball, basketball, track, tennis, etc. The first two pages are taken up with a thorough explanation of scholarship regulations, including eligibility for offices, athletic par ticipation, etc. According to officials there arc still a few of these handbooks still available to all ASUO mem bers at the dean of men’s office in Johnson hall, the dean of wo men's office in Gerlinger, or the educational activities office in Mc Arthur court.

Just before the clock said 2 p.m. (first of visiting hours), Ginny Swearengen, Giddy Gibson, and Jo Hoke were propped up on their beds, hair combed and lip stick on. Their front view, de luxe suite with private bath, had been freshened up for ihe expected visitors, the teakettle, (of inhalant) was boil ing, and the nurse, allegedly, had placed Jo’s boquet of violets in hot water to cheer up the room. “We really need a person in that empty bed,” Giddy explained, ‘‘then we could have a good game of bridge, if some one brings us some cards. personal foul was called on Golden Bear players. * * * Jimmy Edmundson, Hec’s ‘‘little boy,” is 10 years old now and not only taller but heavier than his pappy whose lithe, athletic frame is near six feet.

Son Jimmy’s main interest right now, according to Daddy Hec, is crew. Note: Jimmy picked a good school for crew, as University of Washington shells under A1 Ul bricksou have been Poughkeepsie winners. l or the Ball .... Let us repair those formal shoes.

Library Gets Pictures Of Joaquin Miller A picture of Joaquin Miller, the famous poet, was given to the University library by his niece, Miss Pherne Miller of Washington, D. C., who was a campus visitor of last week Miss Miller is now completing a biography of her uncle which will • go with the picture. ,,,, Cincinnatus Hiner Miller, who wrote under the pen name of Joaquin Miller, attended the old Columbia college in Eugene in 1857 and was a former classmate of J. J. Walton, father of Miss Pauline Walton, a librarian in the graduate reading room of the library. Although Miller was not born in Oregon he spent much of his life here and may almost be considered an Oregon poet. He was bom in Indiana in 1839 and came to Ore gon in 1852 to settle on a farm near Coburg. Among the many kinds of positions held by Miller were the newspaper work in the Klondike and his position as editor of a Eugene paper in 1862. Miss Miller is now working on a collection of her uncle’s works which she will present to the Library of Congress in Washing ton, D. C. She is also planning a headquarters for Oregon visitors and residents of the capitol where she will operate a tea-room using all Oregon products and a collec tion of relics and souvenirs of the ' state as well as many recreational - rooms for the guests. Miss Miller is secretary of the Oregon society in Washington which holds its annual dinner on the day Oregon entered the Union, February 4, and their yearly picnic at the Joaquin Miller cabin in Rock Creek park in Washington every summer.
