Oregana Snaps
To Get Another
Mauling Today
The campus luncheon played
havoc with hearts.
All those Oregana shots of the
favorite football heroes or cam
pus queens lay unsold on the ta
ble as coeds were rushed dishing
out pickles and sandwiches and
the fellows were busy evading
the “dunkers.”
When the Romeos and female
admirers awoke to the fact that
the luncheon was over and the
chances to get their “secret
love’s” picture was gone, a peti
tion was turned in immediately
to the Co-op to “please put the
photographs on sale again.”
Co-op officials agreed and it
was decided today and tomorrow
would be the last chance to get
the original pictures appearing in
the Oregana, with sale tags on
them starting at five cents and
going upwards.
Two Men Pledge^
Spring term fraternity pledges
reached a total of 25 yesterday
when the dean of men’s office an
nounced names of two more stu
dents who signed Greek letter
houses.
Latest pledges are Lyle Nelson,
Eugene, Sigma Chi; and Henry
Carr, Portland, Delta Tau Delta.
Very Little Theater
Presents New Play
By DOROTHY KREIS
The curtain fell on a suc
cessful opening showing of the
Very Little Theater’s “Anna
Christie” last night, under the di
rection of Marvin Krenk, speech
professor, with outstanding per
formances being credited to the
entire cast. The portrayal of he
old Swedish barge capain by
Robr D. Horn, English professor,
was especially realistic.
Two more nights, Wednesday
and Thursday, he will step into
his seaman’s clothes and rave at
that “old davil sea.” Twice more,
also, will Anna, Mary Staton,
come to visit her father to fall
in love with the sea—and Matt,
the Irish seaman, who is Gerry
Smith in private life.
Ethel Sawyer did justice to the
part taken by Marie Dressier in
the movie version in which Garbo
first “talked.” Miss Sawyer was
the old waterfront companion of
Chris who lived on the barge with
him until Anna came from Min
nesota.
