Oriental makeup and costumes will complete the transformation. Miss Clouston, a freshman major } ing in drama, is looking forward to : the Sunday dress rehearsal when she can wear the gorgeous, authen tic Chinese garments selected for the presentation. Even her worry over the proper manipulation of her fan in public—as an unmarried wo man in the play she is supposed to cover her face with her fan in public —doesn’t dull the anticipation over the unusual costumes. Speaking of the oddities of Chi nese theater conventions, Miss Clouston said that heaven is repre sented on the stage by a balcony at the back. Characters who die dur i ing the play appear in heaven at in tervals to speak to the struggling mortals and direct their paths. Plum Blossom does some spiritual kibitz ing herself when she helps her hero,! Wu Hoo Git, escape from a spider j which entangles him. Miss Clouston hails from Pendle- J ton where she participated in high school productions of "Ghost Want (Please turn to page six) LOUISE CLOUSTON Ducat Deadline Today All persons planning to attend the Oregon-Oregon State basket ball game tonight should secure exchange tickets at the ticket of fice in McArthur court before noon today, Mrs. Dee VVrenn, tick et manager, has announced. ASUO cards will not be hon ored at the door tonight without an exchange ticket. Hays, Bray, Wren, Seeborg See Last ND Action; Ducks Seek Third Place Four Webfoots—Ken Hays. Bob Wren. George Brav. and Roy Seeborg—-will be completing their Northern Division basketball careers tonight when Oregon and Oregon State meet in the final game of the regular season for both clubs in McArthur court. The Beavers clinched the flag on their inland empire trip last week, but the Webfoots need a win tonight to gain third place in the ND for the season. Four OSC regulars will also be playing their last division game tonight. They are Red Rocha, Lew Beck, Erland Anderson, and Morris Silver. The contest is destined to be a rough and tumble affair from the starting whistle, and both squads have several pre game cripples listed. Anderson and Alex Peterson are slated for lim ited action for the Beavers, and Roger Wiley and Ed Dick are on Oregon’s doubtful list. Rocha Shooting for Title A menace to the Webfoots tonight will be high scoring Rocha who needs only eight points to edge out Washington’s Jack Nichols as the 1947 scoring champ of the Northern Division. The league champions go into the game as heavy favorites, but Oregon’s chance to climb a notch in the division standings, and to prevent the Beavers from sweeping the first series in 14 years should make them a fighting-mad outfit. Although Wiley is nursing a foot injury, he is expected to be given the starting nod at center for the Ducks. Starting forwards should be Dick Wilkins and Hays, and Stan Williamson and Bob La vey will likely be chosen as guards. The OSC lineup will probably be Anderson, Crandall, Rocha, Beck and Silver.

Herb Widmer and his band will provide the music. Ad mission is 60 cents a couple and sport clothes will be in order.

Student Reads Emerald, Gets Blast From Prof Is the Emerald more impor tant than good grades ? One Uni versity student apparently thinks so. The following notation by an English professor was recently scribbled on an_ avid Emerald reader’s lit paper. “The paper has no point. It is mere summary. There is no anal ysis. There is no penetration, no dissection, no light thrown on the book. It is a hasty and facile bit of day work analogous to your classroom habit of reading news papers during the lectures.’’ matics, will sing “Bring Back the Sun,” a recently composed song by Helen McFettridge, sophomore in. music. A trio composed of Sally Watson, Shirley Phillips, and Helen McFet ridge will also sing one of Miss Mc Fetridge's original compositions. Other vocal music will feature Bill Seal and his Hawaiians. Webfooters have planned other entertainment for the dance inter mission. This dance is the first in a series being planned by the University honoraries on a non-profit basis in response to demands by the students for more mixers.
