Dean Expresses Regret
On Retiring from Post
“I have no spirit of levity at retiring from the University.
My years here have been a decided pleasure.” Such was the
sentiment expressed by Virgil D. Earl, retiring dean of men,
at a banquet given in his honor last night by the Interfraternity
council.
Highlight of the banquet was the address in tribute to Dean
Earl given by Edgar W. Smith of the State Board of Higher
Education. Smith opened his talk |
with several incidents of Dean |
Earl’s student days at the Univer- j
sity and paid personal tribute to j
Earl for the success of his own col- ;
lege career.
Successful Man
The principal theme of Smith’s
address was the presentation of the
requisites of a successful man as
. exemplified by Dean Earl. Firstly,
Smith declared, a successful man
needed imagination to see beyond
today to something better. A suc
cessful man, he continued, is one
who enacts his earlier dreams and
imagination. Smith stressed that
Dean Earl possessed this imagina
tive power to look ahead and plan'
^or the future.
Enthusiasm Needed
The second requisite, said Smith,
is enthusiasm such as Dean Earl
had in mixing the romance of his
imagination with the rough road of
reality. Smith further explained
that Enthusiasm is needed so as
not to weaken in the face of odds,
handicaps or responsibilities.
Work was Dean Earl s third char
acteristic that had made him sue- J
cessful in his position, Smith said,;
adding that to him work had been
an honor and a glory. The choice
was always to quit or press on and
the Dean always chose to press on,
he said.
• Byron Mayo, past president of
the Interfraternity council, pre
sented Dean Earl with a watch in
scribed, "To Dean Virgil D. Earl for
loyalty, friendship, and guidance
from the In'terfraternity council of
the University of Oregon.’’
Earl responded by saying that he
thought no part of his work had
given him more pleasure than his
relationships with the council. He
wished them great success in their
•(future programs at Oregon.

Fellows Await Telephone Calls
While Coeds Plan Annual Dance
By BETH BASLER
Those fellows who aren’t already
set, are not sweating it out, wait
ing for the phone to ring, and hop
ing that it will be a date for Mor
tar Board. By rationalizing, they
can figure out at least six girls that
really should ask them to go.
When the girl of his dreams final
ly calls, the coy boy will try not to
appear eager, relieved as he may
be. “Well, really, I’d love to go,” he
says, “but I’d better just check with
my date book.” A small pause for
shuffling of pages and then the for
mal acceptance. For who wants to
miss the last big formal of the year
*- with the music of Art Holman, an /
a theme like "The Gypsy’s Crystal
Ball!”
Once she has a date, it is the girl’s
turn to do a little planning.
Some of the girls are starting
early with dinner, but really that’s
not necessary. The first thing is to
get the ticket from a house repre
sentative or at the Co-op for $1.80.
Then comes the problem of trans
portation. Walk, of course, if it’s
not too far, but consider the idea of
a team and wagon or a motor
scooter. It’s being done!
Flowers are almost an essential
for a formal such as this. Onions
and a gardenia are quite striking,
they say. Or a headband of daisies,
a dandelion lei, or a nosegay of
radishes might look well with his
suit.
As a last and finishing touch, it
is advisable to read up on Emily so
that the little niceties the men are
sure to notice on a night like this
won’t be overlooked.
Woman to Explore

the University of Oregon campus |

The production is under the direction of Mr. E. L. Clark, in

assistant director.
The play is written as the rehearsal of a Broadway produc

Joan, the Bishop of Beauvois, the
Archbishop of Rheims, Tremoille,
the court poet, a priest, and an ex
ecutioner appear in complete cos
tume.
Luxurious Costumes
Joan has three changes. Usually
she is seen in fifteenth century ar
mor, but in the coronation scene
she wears a luxurious blue tunic and
silver leggings. Before the rehear
sal in the play she appears in street
clothes as do the others. The Arch
bishop "of Rheims is strikingly cos
tumed in gold lace and vivid satins.
The costumes were obtained
from Goldstein’s in San Francisco
at considerable expense. Gold
stein’s also costumed “The Yellow
Jacket” and other previous Univer
sity theater productions.
The technical staff for “Joan of
Lorraine” includes Pat Smith,
stage manager, assisted by Caroline
Nash. Crew members are Emilirose
