The disciplining of gestures and action is causing some trouble to the University actors, because of their schooling in the natural approach of the American stage. Gestures in the Chinese theater are generally mechanical, accurately timed, and planned with formality. Violent gestures are accomplished by some instrument. Complexities in these stylized movements are demonstrated by the precision needed by the Widow Ching in indicating, writh true Chi nese theatrical manner, her daugh ter-in-law’s eyebrows and long fin gernails.

Mrs. Genevieve Turnipseed, di rector of dormitories, was notified when girls on one of the-sleeping porches were aroused, and she im mediately called to the police. Police officers S. O. Olson and A. R. Cheek chased the intruder but were unable to capture him. Since all doors to the dormitory were locked he probably entered through a sleeping porch window leading to the fire escape, Mrs. Turnipseed said. He entered only one room and escaped through the front door, without doing any damage.

Government by Habit ' (Continued from page one) Frame Needed Custom and' habit must not be entirely done away with, however, for continuity and connection with the past are needed in govern ment, Dr. Johnson believes. Change and habit provides a need ed frame of reference, order, and continuity, he pointed out. “Habit is the root structure of the tree of government,’’ he said “and while it will grow in some climates, it will shrivel and die in others. “We eat the fruit.” Education must play an impor tant part in the shift of balance between government by habit and government by ohoice, he said. Old Must Go Old political forms will have to yield or be smashed, according to Dr. Johnson. Political institutions should be adjusted to the change in science and invention, he said, for while the government is fearful of change and has time-honored tra ditions, science has new ideas, and is never satisfied. Dr. Johnson was introduced by Dr. Rudolph Ernst, head of the lecture series. Among the University's more active honoraries are Sigma Delta Chi, Alpha Delta Sigma, Beta Al pha Psi and Phi Delta Kappa. The University’s fifth president was Arnold Bennett Hall. Intra-mural athletics at the University of Oregon were for merly known as the "Doughnut Cup League.” Basketball appeared at the U. of O. in 1912. liMcIpicked/ Joi SpiMin We choose our sportswear with a discerning' eye to quality of fabric, perfection of line, melowness of color.
