HISTORIAN
” Costigan Tells
Of England's
Past, Present
i
Industrial Revolt,
Liberals, Power
Outlined in Speech
By MARY WOLF
Problems that the 19th century
failed to solve may possibly achieve
•"* a solution in our day, Dr. Giovanni
Costigan, interpreter of history,
told a University lecture audience
last night.
Professor of history at the Uni
versity of Washington and a recog
nized authority on the subject, Dr.
Costigan outlined the significance
of the social and political devel
opment of modern England. Cov
ering the period of the British
world domination, he traced the
fortunes of the various powers and
the well-being of the English
people as a whole.
Three Points
Three definite periods were dis
cussed by Dr. Costigan: the indus
trial revolution, liberal or bour
geoisie, and imperialism.
Dr. Costigan said: “The world
was destroyed by twin revolutions,
the industrial and agrarian.” In
this first period there was a util
itarian philosophy movement which
# regarded men as rational beings
and thought that society could be
changed by rational principles.
“The liberal party based its
power on the doctrine of free
trade,” he continued. “However,
this policy only lead to competi
tion and the elimination of small
business. Within 20 years there
was a gradual crashing of the
liberal party. There was a gather
ing of forces in protest against
the former orders. Out of them
developed socialism and the fabi
an society.”
Present Day
Bringing it down to the present,
Dr. Costigan said: “This cleavage
is most apparent when you apply
it to the conduct of the Chamber
lain government. It finally found
expression in political action in
. direct defiance to the masses of
’ the people.
“These periods can’t come and
go,” he declared, “without leaving
a profound mark on the nation.”

‘Informal’ Drama Due
By HUNTER VAN S1CKLEN
Unusual for Shakespearean
plays is the informal atmosphere
that will prevail at performances
of “The Taming of the Shrew,”
scheduled to make its debut be
fore campus audiences next week
in the AWS room at Gerlinger hall,
February 5, 6, 7, and 8.
The informality is achieved by
using the AWS room, where there
is no stage, and the actors and
actresses on the same level as the
audience have grand opportunity
to create an intimate mood.
The box office in Johnson hall
is open for business, according to
Adrian Martin, business manager.
There will be two performances
February 5, that can be seen for
the price of one. It is, perhaps,
the only time in history when one
Petruchio ( Parker McNeil) has had
the chance to tame two Kates
(Trudy Harland and Helene Par
sons), who alternate the role.
The short version of "The Tam
ing of the Shrew” is a production
of the Guild theater players under
the direction of Mrs. Ottilie Sey
bolt, head of the Drama division.
SHAKESPEARE HAD A WORD FOR IT
This Guild theater east will appear in Shakespeare’s ‘Taming of the Shrew” when it Is presented on
the campus in the nest two weeks. Above are, first row, from left, Kettle Jane Quigley, Trudy Harland,
Parker McNeil, Helene Parsons, and Jerry Lakefish. Second row, Adrian Martin, Jim Parsons, Betty

celebration at this year’s weekend.
Approximately 2200 letters re
main at the Co-op, and await mail
ing by the end of this week.
“Although we were a bit dis
appointed by the number of letters
sent, we expect the total amount
to double or triple by tomorrow,”
Buchwach declared. “There are
still some letters and envelopes
left in campus living organizations,
too, which have not yet been col
lected.”
Special stationery without the
official dads’ letter printed on it
is now available at the Co-op, and
students who wish to write their
v,wn messages may obtain sheeti
with envelopes any time up to five
o’clock today.
“A Message”
The dads’ stationery is of fine
brown texture, and those with
printed invitations are in idark
frowi ink. Envelopes, which are
of similar shade, have printed on
the outside, “A Message to Oregon
Dads.”

Graduate Faction
Favors Unifying
Surveys Made by Bybee, Larsell Show
Majority Desire Group Organization;
Suggest Educational, Social Activities
Returns from questionnaires sent out to 1-16 graduate students
fall term show that a substantial majority who replied are in favor
of some form of organization for graduate students, according to
Barney Bybee, graduate assistant in psychology.
The questionnaires are the result of three meetings of graduate
students, held last term, and are
to determine the form and purpose
for such an organization.
Mr. Bybee and Frank Larsell
were appointed by Linn Hutchin
son, temporary chairman of the
graduate students, to compose, dis
tribute, and tabulate the question
naires.
83 Answer
Eighty-three of the papers were
answered and returned, and the
tabulated results given to Mr.
Hutchinson.
Although many were m favor of
organizing, several comments were
returned in definite opposition to
such a scheme. One graduate de
clared, “This looks like a scheme
thought up by a few students to
provide themselves witli frivolities
to take up their time at the ex
pense of the whole group, the ma
jority of which has neither time
nor money for such things."
“More Real Study”
Another opposing comment was:
"It seems to me that we can get
along with less organization and
more real scholastic study.”
Despitp these and several other
opposition statements, there were
many who “felt a definite need for
some contact other than class room
casualness with fellow students.”
One student wrote, "Graduates
need some type of organization, as
there are too many slip-shod
methods in the graduate division,
and there is no opportunity for
opinions or ideas.”
One writer declared, “The grad
uate students should be leading
students of a university, and the
time for such organization is long
overdue.”
Includes All Grads
The proposed organization is to
be for all graduate students in
the University, including both men
and women from all departments.
Although the majority of the
students favored representation on
the student council, there were
many who did not.
Concerning activities of the or
ganization, most Of the answers
were in favor of discussion groups
and educational meetings, and
many felt that there was “no need
for adding another social group to
the number now present.”
Krawlers Will Get

“Free gum for those who come,”
is the motto of Tiger Payne, the

The Krawl, sponsored by Alpha
