chosen the theme for the annual
Frosh Glee dance scheduled for Mc
Arthur court April 26. The song
theme was announced by the Glee
committee, headed by Art John

son, freshman class president yes
terday after consideration of ap
propriate themes. Elaborate plans

sideration in order to transform the

Versatile Actor
Plays Moses
By JANICE KENT
With the University theater pre
sentation of "Green Pastures” at
McArthur court, April 19, Alan Fos
ter will portray Moses as his third
major role of the year. Foster
played Wu Hu Git in the recent
production, “The Yellow Jacket”
and the witch boy in "Dark of the
Moon.”
The role of Moses in the coming
play Foster believes to be an out
standing study of character and its
development. Moses is first seen in
“Green Pastures” as a middle-aged,
kindly, sympathetic man.
He lives in seclusion in the hills
of Midean county, having been
driven out of Egypt by the Pharoah
j for killing an Egyptian in defense
of a countryman. God appears to the
shepherd Moses and convinces him

Outstanding Education School
Planned by Newly Elected Dean
By WARREN COLLIER
Dr. Paul Jacobson, dean elect of
the school of education, still busy
getting settled and acquainted, em
phasized yesterday that he intends
to build a nationally known school
of education here in the Northwest.
Dr. Jacobson’s wife and 15-year
old daughter will arrive here July
1, the date he will start his admin
istration. At present the family is
in Davenport, Iowa, where he has
been superintenden tof schools since
1944.
Prior to that time he did other
administrative work, taught at
Syracuse university, and at Colum
bia university. From 1936 to 1944 he
was with the school of education at
the University of Chicago, holding
the principalship of its University
high school.
Famous Oregon rain didn’t sur
prise or impede Dr. Jacobson, but
the telephone strike and the housing
shortage provided a momentary ,
problem. He luckily got quarters
with E. G. Daniel, professor of busi
ness administration, and said he
was delighted to find "a splendid
house that just fits our needs.”
“The campus is beautiful,” he
commented. “The students look like
those at the University of Chicago,
though fewer in number. I think my
daughter will go wild over beauti
ful Oregon.” ,|
