Skull, Dagger
Proposes Plan
For UO Union
Honorary Favors
Fountain Facilities
For New Structure
Members of Skull and Dagger,
sophomore service honorary for
men, went on record last night
at their regular weekly meeting
as favoring the following pro
posed main features for the Stu
dent Union building:
.1. A dance floor (large enough
to accommodated 900 . couples),
with a permanent bandstand if
possible.
2. -Banquet haU, with adequate
kitchen..facilities adjacent, to oc
cupy same, floor space as dance
hall.
3. Fountain, in a central posi
tion to- allow easy access from all
parts of the building.
4. Recreation room, lounges,
and student offices.
Separate Lounges
Discussion on features and pur
poses of the building showed most
Skull and Dagger men in favor
of two separate lounges which
would provide recreation space
for students who might not be
attending a social function in
progress on the main dance
floor. The second lounge (or a
partitioned part of the main one)
would also allow town students
and others to remain on the cam
pus between classes and in in
clement weather, as well as pro
viding a permanent common
meeting place at all times.
Advisability of a fountain was
decided upon after points were
brought up that favored such fa
cilities near to a recreation room,
a proper place to obtain refresh
ments during social functions, and
the creation of an atmosphere for
an all-student meeting place.
Student Offices
Resolutions offered suggested
that student offices should be
adequate but not oversize or too
elaborate. A minimum of rooms
with a well scheduled program
for use would avoid having dead
space when the rooms are not in
use, such as exists in the Mem
orial Union at Oregon State.
Discussion on features of the
recreation room was the most
flexible. Desirability of billiard,
pool, and ping pong tables, along
with additional lounge space was
mentioned.

'Tovarich’ Premiere
By JOANNE NICHOLS
“Tovarich” opened last night
with the gallant story of two ex
iled Russian nobles working as
servants in the home of a Paris
banker..
Prince Mikail Ouratieff as
played by Parker McNeil and the
Grand Duchess Tatiana Petrovna
as portrayed by Helene Parsons
symbolized the courage and de
votion which were the spirit of
old Russia, while Jim W. Par
sons as Commissar Gorotchenko
represented the relentless brutal
ity of the new order.
Of Dramatics
Combining drama with tender
romance and bright flashes of
comedy, the play furnished its
cast the opportunity to show
varying types of dramatic skill.
Dominant are Parker McNeil and
Helene Parsons in the leading
roles. Impressive is Jim Parsons
as the Soviet Commissar Gorot
chenko.
Jerry Lakefish is ingratiating
in his first juvenile role but seems
more at home when he plays the
minor character part of the little
Frenchman, Martellau. Outstand
ing in small roles are Adrian E.
Martin as Chauffourier-Dubieff
and Howard Speer as Count Feo
dor Brekenski.
Others Reviewed
Jeanette Harbert portrayed the
lovesick Helene Dupont realisti
cally, and Jeff Smith skillfully
acted the role of her father,
Charles Dupont. Betty Fiksdal
capably handled the part of Fer
nande Dupont.
Dorothy Durkee made Louise,
the cook, a real person, while Bet
tie Jane Quigley proved her abil
ity in the roles of Olga, the Soviet
spy, and Madame Van Hemert,
powerful figure in the oil indus
Jean B. Harper, who amused with
try. Memorable in a brief bit was
his meaningless, toothly smile as
the conceirge.
Pi Delta Phi Sponsors
Last night’s performance was
sponsored by Pi Delta Phi, French
honorary, which will sponsor
next Thursday’s performance
also.
“Tovarich” will run tonight and
Saturday night of this week and
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
next week.
Ottilie T. Seybolt directed “To
varich,” a University Guild hall
production.
Fete Queen, '41
(Continued from pane one)
she was informed of her good
fortune. But that was only for an
instant. She soon recaptured ev
ery measure of composure and
carried on like a bona fide queen,
even to the extent of keeping the
news from her curiously eager
Theta sorority sisters ... as she
was supposed to.
“Why lord, I’ve always wanted
to launch a boat,” she admitted,
and as Junior Weekend queen,
launching a boat, the Norwind,
will be one of her first duties.
“And I think it’s so much better
breaking a bottle of milk over it
like they say it’s going to be
done. . . .”
“Why I came-to Oregon? Well,
mother was born here and loved
the country. She told me all about
it, and I thought I’d like it. I
didn’t know anything about
spring term at the U, and about
Junior Weekend, but I did see an
Oregana back home and was very
much impressed by it. I also
wanted to come to a small school
and didn’t particularly care to
go beyond the west coast.”
Miss Dow spent her freshman
and sophomore years at the Uni
versity of Hawaii and is a junior
here majoring in sociology. She
visited the state of Oregon about
four years ago, and what she saw
of it she enjoyed immensely. She
loves apples, peaches, and man
gos, and can’t stand cigars. Her
favorite melody is “Ke Kali Nei
Au," a Hawaiian love song, and
she dotes on swimming. She was
elected president of Kappa Alpha
Theta immediately after she was
initiated into the sorority this
winter term.
Commenting on her choice as
queen: “I can’t see how they
chose among us ... it still doesn’t
seem real, my being queen. I’ve
never seen a canoe fete, but am
living in eager anticipation.”
Miss Dow wanted to climb
aboard the train with the base
ketball team when the latter left
for the islands this spring just to
be home. But perhaps it’s a good
thing she stayed.

to King Haakon of Norway, now

Prince Olav and Crown Princess
Martha.

1000th Victim
Patient No. 1,000 was admitted
to the University infirmary Wed
nesday morning, setting a new
all-time high.
It might have been the pretty
nurses, and then it might have
been the desire to “get away from
it all,” but hospital officials at
tribute the new record to the
severe influenza epidemic last
term and to the recent measle
purge.
Approximately 400 students
have been under medical care for
influenza this year, with measles
claiming 250 of the grand total
of 1,000. Jo Ann Supple claims
honors for being patient No.
1,000. Total last year was 974.

sive, are: Ruth Harder, Edith

ROTC Chiefs Drop
Animal Competition
Heads of the military depart
ments at the University and at
Oregon State have decided to
dispense with the annual compe
tition between the two regiments
this year.
According to Colonel R M.
Lyon of the University military
staff, they feel that the senior
officers need all the regular tac
tical training they can get during
fair weather for their active ser
vice this summer.
