Hawaiian Front Discussed At Lions Meeting Islands Cited as Strategic Center by Professor Lomax Commenting on the military de fense of Hawaii ami appraising the Hawaiian islands as a strate gic military and naval center in the Pacific, Professor Alfred L. Lomax spoke on a social and eco nomic problems of the territory before a meeting of the Eugene Lions club. Professor Lomax was in the is lands last year- on a year’s leave of absence from the University. It seems probable that greater expenditures will be put forth for naval and aircraft materials in the very near future, Professor Lomax said. He also displayed a map showing the relation of the islands to the mainland, the Philippines, Japan, Australia, and the Panama canal, and the Aleutian islands and other strategic points in Pa cific waters. In regard to social and economic problems, Mr. Lomax mentioned the domination of Orientals in the present population. Contrary to popular opinion, he does not be lieve the Japanese in the islands and Japan become strained. The majority of the Japanese popula tion are American citizens and proud of it, he explained. Mechancial improvements in the sugar and pineapple industry, however, are bringing on an un employment problem. Although the islands have a fine school system, many of the oriental children face a real problem as to language, the speaker said. In the schools English is taught, while in their homes many of the fami lies speak Japanese or Chinese ex clusively. Three big sources of Hawaiian income are the sugar and pineap ple industries and the tourist, Mr. Lomax concluded.

New Roles in Guild Hall Play Proves Test Foi UO Players' Talen t A new outlet for their talent will be provided for the University players in their new production, “Night Must Fall,” coming to the University theater February 9, 10, and 13, under the direction of Mrs. Otlilie T. Seybolt, director of drama. Many of the group are taking roles entirely new to them. For example, Rose Ann Gibson, who usually takes roles of ingenues, is taking the part of Mrs. Bramson, the mean old lady in the forthcoming production. nose Ann, a stmur transfer from Willamette, has ap peared here in “Arms and the Man.” Ed Burtcnshaw, who, up to his • present role, has never played the part of any character under 00, 1 has been cast as Dan. He played Smithers, the cockney beach comber in “Emperor Jones,” Teeter in “Fear and Trembling,” and Captain Petkoff in “Arms and the Man." Now Ed is assigned the part he lias always wanted to play, that of the young lover, only to discover that this particular char acter in the play is "nuts.” His leal ambition is to play “Golden Boy.” Charlene Jackson, a senior who has appeared in two previous Uni versity productions, will play the part of Olivia Grayno, a dreamer, utterly bored with her surround ings. She is always waiting for something to happen. When some thing (the murder) does happen, :«ho has the misfortune to lull in love with the murderer. Fred Waller's own account ot his acting career thus far may be found on the backstage wall of the University theater. The thumb nail sketch reads: “Noah" Lion, (only grunts); “Emperor Jones" a ghost, (si-j lent); “With Fear and Trembling" (lines!); “Arms and the Man" at last a part!!” (Incidentally the lead I. He has been cast as Hubert Lauri, a pompous Englishman. His ambition? Hamlet. Book of Week Is Hollywood Study Two of the Week's top books, studies of Hollywood with a dif ferent angle, have been placed on reserve. The first is "Hollywood Saga" by William do Mille, a brother of Cecil B. deMille, fam ous Hollywood director. William was a cowboy extra, screen writer, I and director before he took up writing. Another is “The Rise of the American Film" by Lewis Ja cobs, which has been called the first critical history of the Ameri can movie. Also received is a collection of speeches made by Anthony Eden in the House of Commons and other places since his first speech in 1924. “The Politics of the Bal kans” by Joseph S. Koucek and Fritz Morstein Marx is of special interest in view of recent head lines. Other books include “Christo pher Columbus" by Salvador de Madariaga; “Letters to Mary" by Catherine Hayes Brown, “From Another World” by Louis Vnter meyer; and “Happy Days 1880 1892“ b yH. L. Alencken. 'Quick, James, a Foreign Smoke/ Says the Villain Here’s where the drama de partment goes broke. But it is either paying 25 cents for a pack of cigarettes for Dan, the neurotic villain in “Night Must Fall,” or having Ed Bur tenshaw sound like "Camille” complete with her hacking cough in the University theater produc tion February 9, TO, and 13. Burtenshaw has so many cig arette cues in the new play that the usually 15-cent “weeds” have inflicted his throat with "nicotine sickness.” Since stage whispers would be far from ef fective for this role of a mur dering madman, the drama de partment is standing the expense of buying cigarettes at 25 cents a crack. Smoking in stage parts has al ways been a hoodoo to the thea ter prop department. In “Arms and the Man,” the fall term play, Horace Robinson, assistant pro fessor of drama, and his crew had to send practically to India to find a hooka for Burtenshaw who plays the part of a barbarous Bulgarian major.

These “works of art” that could almost out-doodle Signor Dali were so subtle that maybe one could make something of them with about two tons of imagination and a quart of Scotch. Some “designs” looked like trains from one angle, pre-his toric insects turned some other way, and an engineer’s padded cell from a distance. Then be neath a title on a letterhead sheet which said, “ Lecture Notes,” was the mystifying equa tion: Foo plus Goo equals Poo.

Rare Old US Glass Displayed at Library Ooblets, compels, spoon holders, all rather rare words in the mod ern vocabulary were well known to the women of the later 1880’s as evidenced by the display ol rare glass in the circulation roorr of the library. The display was loaned by Mrs Frank Chambers of 1059 Hilyart street, Eugene. All the pieces ir Mrs. Chambers’ collection of 'ovei 100 pieces have names. Some o! the interesting glasses in the li brary go by such unusual nomen clatnre as rose in snow, log cabin picket fence, shell and tassell, ti ties derived usually from the pat terns worked in the glass. Mrs. Chambers said her codec lion began with old pieces handei down in her family and pieced oui by trips to second hand stores am anywhere else the glasses were available. The collection now in the li brary is of purely American vin tage with the lion patterrf beinj the most rare and the goblets anc | eompots hard to find. The pieces | displayed range from 1860 to 1880 though Mis. Chambers has some glass over 100 years old, these being some old Mexican glass and a French bride’s glass.

MILDER, COOLER CAMELS ARE CHAMPS few WITH ME BILL CORLIM'S sports news isn’t just printed...it’s sprinted...at lightning speed from press-box to press. But when the camera catches Bill in his office with a cigarette — "No speed for me in my smoking,” he says. His own common sense and smoking expe rience tell him what scientists have confirmed in their research laboratories—that"slow-burn ing cigarettes are extra mild, extra cool, fra grant, and flavorful.” Cigarettes that burn fast just naturally burn hot. And nothing so surely wrecks the delicate elements of cigarette fla vor and fragrance as excess heat. The delight ful mildness, coolness, fragrance, and flavor of Camels are explained by this — Camels proved to be the j/oue-fZ-burning cigarette of the sixteen largest-selling brands tested! (The panel at right explains the test.) MORE PLEASURE PER PUFF. MORE PUFFS PER PACK! LIGHTNING-FAST in the press box! Why, Eill Corum’s been known to file 3,0C0 words of sizzling copy during a single big sports event. But no speed for him in his smoking — slower-burning Camels are Bill Corum’s cigarette. He likes that ex tra mildness, coolness, and flavor. Here’s Bill at work in the quiet of his office. Bill...typewriter...books ...pictures...and Camels—slow-burn ing Camels. "I find them milder and cooler—and thriftier,” he says. And, being a Camel fan of many years’ standing, he ought to know. FAST BURNING —cre ates hot flat taste in smoke... ruins deli cate flavor, aroma... SLOW BURNING—pro tects natural qualities that mean mildness, thrilling taste, fragrance ... a cooler smoke ... In recent laboratory tests, CAMELS burned 25% slower than the average of the 15 other of the largest-selling brands tested — slower than any of them. That means, on the average, a smoking plus equal to 5 EXTRA SMOKES PER PACK! Copyright. 1940, R. J Reynolds Tobacco Company, Winston-Salem. X. C. Lame Is
