By BOB STILES Spring term is now starting and the outlook in sports for the University is indeed dark. Before, this was the term when everyone was engaged in one sport or another. The major sports for spring should be beseball and track. This year the different universities say that it would be im possible to take a team and travel over the country to the fields of competition. If this is the case, [ Ujrtvhy was basketball carried on? Isn’t it only reasonable that if one sport can continue, others could? The only plausible reason there can be for this is that the different schools don't wan to carry on a program if there has to be a loss of a few dollars mixed in with it. There will be many minor sports on the campus such as tennis, but whether there will be outside com petition or not no one.knows. With the larger sports gone it is probable that an extensive pro gram of intramural activities will be carried on. These would be under the same conditions as the winter term basketball league in that if there is enough interest among the participants the pro gram will be carried on. Five Truckloads of Books Returned by Ex- / rsinees Five truckloads of army textbooks went into storage at the | physical education building last Saturday, M. F. McClain, manager of the University Co-op reported Tuesday. Over 12, 000 volumes were turned back to the Co-op by soldier students i leaving the University. The ever-changing soldier-student population has made it F. Hunter, ChancelSor, Outlines Veterans’ Plan Veterans of the war who are of any college grade may be aided considerably in post-war readjust ment by the state system of higher education, if the plan outlined by Chancellor Fredeiick M. Hunter of “the state board of higher education is adopted. He presented his plan at the state board meeting in Port land Tuesday, pointing out that the state system already has a staff of some 800 highly skilled scientists, scholars, and technicians to aid in such a program. He cited some of the work now under way at the state college and university in farming, mineral and economic, and mineral resources. Development of this research and relationship between the educa tional institutions and industrial organizations and private enter prise will provide stimulation for -^eceupational adjustment, the chan cellor believes. YWCA 50th Anniversary (Continued from page one) underclassmen may leave to attend study table. The second half will be under the direction of Mrs. Adams and the program will be especially for upper class women and alumni. Beverly Padgham will give the worship service and Miss Clara Fitch, member of the ad visory board, will close with a reading. Members of the flying speech squadron, under the direction of _J.ta.nreen Conklin, sophomore in art, will tell girls about the pro gram Thursday at lunch. An open house birthday tea will be held Friday afternoon from 3 to 5 at the bungalow. Everyone is invited to this affair, and campus clothes will be in order. Mrs. J. D. impossible to estimate accurately i just how many books would be needed, McClain stated. Other hindrances to a sufficient textbook supply are the labor shortage in the publishing houses, transporta tion difficulties, and the shortage in packing and wrapping material. Books which could formerly be ob tained from New York in 10 or 12 days, now sometimes take as long as a month to get here. Mrs. Eyler Brown, executive assistant at the Co-op, stated that there were not quite as many special orders this term as there have been the previous two terms. The shortage seems to be in no concentrated field, special orders coming in mainly for language, business, and geography courses. Mrs. Brown explained that it was especially difficult to meet the de mands of three groups at one time, the soldiers coming in, soldiers go in gout, and the civilian students. A new member of the depart ment is Miss Ada Zinser, in charge of the textbook department, suc ceeding Miss Elizabeth Claypool who was with the Co-op for 21 years until she resigned this year. Miss Zinser, formerly at teacher in Fortland, has done similar work at the University of California at Los Angeles and at Oregon Normal school. Horton and Flora Kibler, junior in liberal arts, are co-chairmen. Mrs. Jim Bryant is in charge of room arrangements for the tea.

UO Actors Pick Drama by O'Neill Representing the experimental in modem drama, the play ''The Great God Brown" by Eugene O'- : Neill has been selected by the Uni versity Theater guild as their third production of the school year. Cast in male lead roles are Frank Krasnowskv. Dr. Steele of last term’s “Dark Victory," as Wil liam A. Brown, architect, and Louis Vogler, "Dark Victory's" in ebriated broker, stepping from comedy to drama as O'Neill’s tragic hero. Dion Anthony. Mary Ellen Foland. junior in liberal arts, and Jeanne Briggs, sophomore in liberal arts, play the feminine leads, Margaret and Cybel. Included in the cast are the fol lowing: Edwin Mickle, Mr. An- i thony; Jim Bartell, Mr. Brown; Valerie Strahl, Mrs. Brown; Bar bara Ayer, Mrs. Anthony; Milton Surface, Second son; Jim Bartell, \ eldest son; Loren Woods, youngest son; Marilyn Sage, first stenogra-| pher; Marilyn Rowling, second! stenographer; Joy Willard, society1 woman; Cay Shae, Ervin Webb, Nancy Sampson, Bob Hull, com- • mitee. Horace Robinson, acting | head of the drama department, di rector. “The Groat God Brown” is con- j sidered by many to be the most I puzzling of all O'Neill’s plays. It i purposes to show some peace-giv- j ing beauty in the exciting vivid- j ness of life. The mechanical use of j masks has been injected to show the complexity of the individual j character. Star Ezio Pinza (Continued from page one) j fifty opera roles, and a large ; variety of concert roles. Pinza seldom reads his press notices and thinks it important to be himself. He claims, “A man, in order to be thoroughly himself, must not try to make himself into what other people think he should be.” Although the bass singer is us I ually cast as a villain or in char acter parts, he likes being a basso, and feels that there is as much op portunity for variety in his field as there is in being a tenor. Junior Weekend Theme (Continued from page one) Blanche Svoboda, chairman of the theme contest, cautioned. Because of the wartime neces sity for saving, the ideas which are submitted must be inexpensive to produce and easy to carry out.
