'Mama' Juvenile Scorns Wig, Messes Up Own Hair For Role “Contrary to popular belief, tins isn't a wig,” said Robert D. Over, sophomore majoring in drama, as ho surveyed his topknot of golden curls, which he wears as the 15 year-old Nels in “I Remember Ma ma.” This is how the change is made. First, Over oils his dark brown hair, then curls it with a hot iron. Dry paint is then applied to change the color to blond. The illusion ol adolescent youth is completed by the addition of knickers, black stockings, high top shoes, and a bashful manner. Over, whose parents live in Sa lem, is a member of the Campbell club. During the war he served as range corporal in an antiaircraft battalion stationed for two years in the Solomon, Bismarck, and Philip pine islands. Churchill to Speak On British Empire Randolph Churchill, who will speak at McArthur court Wednes day on “The British Empire in the Modern World,’ was recently the subject of a critical apprecia tion written by Robert Boothby, member of parliament. Acquainted with him as a child, Boothby maintains that to think of Randolph Churchill, is to think of the word fearless. He has never been known to be afraid of any one or anything. He has never been daunted and during World War II he lived up to his maxim that the only way to get through life was to expect death at any moment. Touring on his second nation wide lecture tour, Churchill re cently received wide publicity when he became engaged in a heated parliamentary debate with a plumber from Denver, Colorado.

Peterson, associate pro fessor of mathematics in the Uni versity, has been announced by Harper and Brothers of New York City. The book, “College Algebra,” is “a logical sequel to Dr. Peterson’s book on intermediate algebra, which, since publication four years ago, has sold about 100,000 copies and is being used in approximate ly 200 colleges and universities in the United States, among them the University of Oregon.” “College Algebra” will replace several older texts now in use in the University, Dr. Peterson said. Dr. Peterson has been at Ore gon for the past nine years which includes a period of three years when he was senior physicist with the 13th naval district, Seattle.
