’Mice, Men’
Here Friday
Sincerely and simply presented,
the coming University theater
production of “Of Mice and Men”
January 16, 17, and 20 is an excit
ing example of what a social play
can be.
Lacking the long declamations
by actors common to this type of
play, it proceeds to tell a tragic
story of friendship and human
sacrifices in terse pictures. Its
social theme concerns lowly peo
ple with lowly ambitions and
hopes.
Jerry Lakefish will take the
part of George, a farm worker

have our next program which is

some arrangement whereby stu

struction here, during the school
term, and then go to eastern
Oregon next summer to do their
actual flying," Stovall clarified.
He pointed out that this way
student planes would not inter
