Night Extension Classes Draw 775 Throughout State Eugene Leads Enrollment List With 301; Portland Area Not Included in Tabulation By VIRGINIA THOMPSON A total of 745 students are now attending the night exten sion classes being offered in 13 cities throughout the state this fall term by the general extension division of the Oregon State System of Higher Education, Laurence E. Tomlinson, secre tary of the division, has revealed. This figure does not include Portland, he said. Eugene claims almost half of the 43 statewide courses with 'Tex' Oliver, Team Top Rally Feature Coach “Tex” Oliver and the Ore gon football team will appear be fore the student body at a rally as sembly in McArthur court Thurs day at 7:30 p.m. Arrangements are also being made for the possible ap pearance of the Oregon State team and coach. Druids will tap during the assembly. University students attending the Oregon-Oregon State game in Cor vallis are asked to enter Bell field through the west gate. There should be no stamping of feet at the game because of the condition of the stadium. Any unsportsman like demonstration on the part of the rooters will result in a 15-yard penalty for their team. The annual dance, “Orange and Lemon Squeeze” will be held follow ing the game from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. It will be held in the men’s gym, the memorial union, and the wom en’s building. Tickets will cost ap approximately 80 cents. Iwo Jima Battle Film Heads Bill at Chapman “To the Shores of Iwo-Jima,” a documentary film on the United States Marine corps will be shown in 207 Chapman at 7:30 tonight, Activities Manager Dick Williams said Tuesday. Also to be shown are “First Steps First Aid,” “Bleeding—Resusci ftion—Shock,” and “Stitch in /ime.” The latter was produced by fOregon State College. an enrollment ot 301 students in 20 different classes. Salem is second in line with an enrollment of 82. Variety Favored That the extension registrants like variety in their educational diet is evidenced by the dissimi larity in the four top enrollment courses throughout the state: ap plied psychology, physical fitness for women, Eperanto, and Oregon school law. The total enrollment of 745 tops last fall tefm’s enrollment in ex tension courses by less than 100, whereas the number of courses of fered has dwindled by about 10. This is a very conservative increase in enrollment, when the University registration figures have soared to a record high, given impetus by the returning veterans, Tomlinson said. The thirteen cities in which ex tension courses are offered are Eu gene, Salem, Albany, Newberg, Coos Bay, Coquille, Corvallis, For est Grove, Hillsboro, Lakeview, Oregon City, St. Helens, and West port. Plans are continuing, Tom linson said, for the establishment of additional classes in these and other cities during the winter and spring terms.

Dr. Moll Debarks; Excites Comment From Australians Ernest G. Moll, professor of Eng lish at the University, has arrived in his homeland, Australia, accord ing to the Sydney newspaper, the Morning Herald. Dr. Moll is spend ing his sabbatical leave from Ore gon in Australia carrying on re search for a long poem which will tell the history and development of the continent down under from the stone age until the present. The Herald writes: “To dockside bystanders, Ernest George Moll looked more like a Spanish grandee than a professor and a poet, as he walked down the gangplank. But, for all his shaggy Vandyke beard, long black side levers, and sun brown cheeks, he was a homesick Australian seeing his native land for the third time since he ran away from home a quarter of a century ago. “He had a rich, drawling Ameri can accent, an American wife, a son at Harvard university, a home among the tall timbers of Oregon’s central valley, a chair in English at the University of Oregon, but still, he claimed, he was as Australian as the plains on which he was born 46 years ago, and he had never given up his Australian citizenship.” While he is in Australia, Profes sor Moll will deliver two series of lectures at the University of Syd ney, five lectures to be included in each series. One series will be pre sented in February and the other in May. He will also deliver a speech at the annual dinner of the English as sociation at the University of Syd ney, on the topic, “Originality and the Poet.” OSC Women Visit UO Visiting the University of Ore gon campus Tuesday were Miss Mary Bash, assistant dean of women at Oregon State College, and' Mrs. Downs, head resident of a women’s dormitory there. Pur pose of their visit was to exchange ideas and study personnel setups with the University of Oregon Dean of Women, Mrs. Golda Wick ham.

'Dark of the Moon’ Evokes Comment from Guild Head University Players' Performance to Be First Amateur Showing Since N. Y. Run 5 By JOAN LOCHEAD Leaning forward in a casual manner from his desk in the drama studio, Horace W. Robinson, director of University Guild productions, expressed his views on the coming produc tion “Dark of the Moon.” While in the east last spring he watched the performances of over 100 stage plays and was most impressed with Richard j son's and Birney’s “Dark of the Moon” and Van Druten’s “I j Remember Mamma.” Upon his re | turn to the Oregon campus, he wired the agents for the two plays with the intent of doing them in the future. He was refused permission for Van Dreten’s play but the Shubert agent gave him the go ahead on “Dark of the Moon.” Normally they do not deal with amateur groups and the University Guild theater will be the first amateur theater group in the country to do the play after its New York run. Carol Stone, of the famous Stone family of the stage, offered a very sympathetic performance at the preview in Iowa, and agents agreed it would be a success on the east ern stages. Shubert’s agents have been es pecially cooperative in connection with background material, having mailed several photostatic copies of folk songs to be used in the play to add a haunting theme. Robinson stressed the fact that the theater guild is now produc ing more plays than ever before. This can be attributed to the larg er enrollment and also to the fact that “we are in a revolutionary period of the theater.” People have seen so many motion pictures that they are now turning to the stage for entertainment. “Dark of the Moon” is a play of interest to young and old, not just a theatrical production. “It will prove stimu lating and exciting to college stu dents,” said Robinson. Return of Signs Asked Traffic signs which have been situated at the intersections of University and Thirteenth, Aider and Thirteenth have been stolen. The University requests that these signs, cautioning cars to slow down while driving through the campus be returned imme diately. They were purchased by the city of Eugene and replace ments are not available. Exec Group Holds Regular Meeting ASUO executive council voted Tuesday to pay all expenses in curred by the three OSC rally squad members who will appear at tho ASUO assembly this Thursday. Moved by Laura Olson, sopho more representative, the recommen dation was seconded by Bea King, AWS president, and agreed to unanimously by the council. Also approved was a recommen dation from Les Anderson, alumni secretary, that the Oregon Federa tion chairman be appointed through the executive council. ASUO Presi dent Tom Kay reported that funds are available for the Federation for three years and that the chairman appointed by this council would re main only until next fall. Denied was a petition by J. E. Rooney, alumnus, for official rec ognition as a member of the 1943 tennis team. Vice President Gil Roberts moved' the denial on the grounds that there was not suffi cient competition to warrant the award of the Varsity “O.” Marguer ite Wittwer-Wright, Emerald edi tor, seconded the motion and the board agreed. County Clerk Explains > Denial of Voting Rights Deputy County Clerk Lloyd Howe announced last week that students who registered on the campus to vote in the national election, and were denied that privilege, were kept from voting because of their failure to sign the registration cards or because they had previous ly registered in other states and had not cancelled that registration. It was estimated by Howe that some 400 of those who did register voted on the first Tuesday in November,
