When Curtains Really Rose By PAT KING Perhaps it was her father’s swallow-tail coat, or maybe it was her mother’s magazine with the illustrations of opera scenes, or perhaps a combination of both that set the little girl on the trail of the theater land make believe. What ever it was, for as long as she can remember, Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt, associated professor of speech and drama, has been interested in dra matics and has spent most of her Westminster House Schedules Fogdall “The University of Tomorrow,” an informal talk, will be presented Tuesday luncheon-goers when Ver gil S. Fogdall, acting dean of men, will appear at Westminster house. The regular gathering will be open to all students. A pot luck luncheon will be served, and all students interested are asked to call Westminster house before Monday to make reservations. The meal will cost 40c.

Currently she is producing“Play boy of the Western World.” Her first actual contact with the theater came at Mount Holyoke school for girls where as a fresh man she climbed two stories high on a steel ladder to a precarious perch where she operated a wind lass to wind the rope that pulled up the curtain. “In those days the curtain ac tually rose, not just parted as is common today, although the term ‘the curtain rises’ is still used,” said Mrs Seybolt. Began Teaching After attending a school of ex pression in Boston and a Russian school of the theater in Chicago, Mrs. Seybolt began teaching. In the course of her teaching she has done a great deal of traveling in the United States, most of if in the northern half of the country. She received her master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin. Rides Bicycle A handsome woman with gray ing hair piled high on her head in a becoming coiffure, Mrs. Sey bolt on her bicycle is a familiar fig ure about the campus. Her work with “Playboy of the Western World” to be presented by the Uni versity theater Dec. 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, keeps her office in the drama, cottage across from John son hall currently submerged un der copies of the play and source books on Ireland. “We are not attempting nor do we want an Irish ‘brogue’,” said At Oregon JUNE MAROLD smokes CHESTERFIELDS June says: “I like Chesterfields because they last longer and are more economical.” A nation-wide survey shows that Chesterfields are TOPS with College Students from coast-to-coast. --■—* THAT IMPORTANT Problem A gift for the folks at home may be solved among our large SDlection of framed and unframed pictures.

M. Synge has set his play. Interest Revived She explained that the Irish own literature and historical back have revived an interest in their grounds, which have an important part in Synge's play. Rhodes Scholar (Continued from page two) ditions. Old Oxford men think the school is now terribly crowded. Each boy living in a college has only two rooms instead of the suite of rooms each used to have. But we who have just seen some crowded American universities, do not take these handicaps too seriously. Yanks Spotted There are 50 or 60 Americans, fewer Canadians, and other for eigners here. The British are used to having us around by now, which does not mean that they al ways understand us. Despite* American efforts to look tweedy, drop “r’s”, or appear casual, the Yanks are always spotted in an instant. Many of our personal mannerisms, many of our govern mental policies, baffle them. For instance, no explanation of what the Thomas committee is doing to Hollywood makes sense to them. But broadly speaking they are both friendly and grateful. The rich uncle, one might say, is re spected but not loved. Some wise man once said that the British and American languages have ba sic differences obscured by ap parent similarities. For example, no one could explain to Lord Cur zon, addressing an American group here, why he brought laughter from his audience when he said, ‘‘One must consider Ox ford as a whole—and what a WHOLE it is.” Nick Riasanovsky, who is living in St. John’s College, joins my wife and me in sending best wishes to all you old friends on the campus. Maybe we can make Homecoming 1949. If, as we hope, Oregon again places successful candidates in the Rhodes compe tition, we’d be glad to do any thing we can for them. Sincerely, Donald W.

Club Organized (Continued from page one) organization, and is one of the few American colleges without one. The purpose drawn up is as fol lows : We suggest the forming of an or ganization of interested foreign and American students and faculty under the sponsorship of the YWCA and the YMCA whose pur pose would be to bring together foreign and American students so that they may get acquainted with each other and come to a greater understanding and appreciation of. each other, his nation and culture. The organization might fulfill this purpose through social gatherings, parties, discussions, speakers, field trips, and outings. We further propose the organiza tion of a subsidiary committee, composed of American students and foreign students already in residence on the campus, whoso purpose would be to welcome fo reign students and help orientate them to Eugene and campus, aid in making housing arrangements, and supply information and help in solving their problems.
