Boice Has Lead In Male Animal By PAT KING Because he “likes to eat too well'1 Charles Boice, who plays a leading role in the coming Uni versity theater production, "The Male Animal,” to be presented May 21, 22, 26, 27, 28, and 29, de cided' that he isn’t going to try to make history via the stage. Graduating from the University before the war Boice returned last spring term to work on his mas ter degree. “After I get my master’s, I'd like to teach a while and do work on the side such as research, writ ing, and further study,” he said. “Little theater and amateur drama groups are expanding all over the country and a new field in the theory of drama is opening up.” While in the navy for four years, most of which was spent in the South Pacific, the closest he came to the theater was behind a movie projection camera. After the war he spent a couple of years in Los Angeles, San Fransisco, and New York. Sponsor at Omega hall, Boice was seen in his first production of the year as the irate Mr. Stanley, unwilling host to “The Man Who Came to Dinner.” As “whirling Joe Ferguson” in “The Male Animal,” Chuck is a big, happy-go-lucky, former all American football star. Returning to the campus for the first time in ten years for the homecoming game with Michigan, Joe meets the current football hero (LaVorn Taylor) and his former girl friend (Pat Laxton) who is now married to Professor Turner (Bill Tassock). In the play, Midwestern is sup posed to have a surprise play to use against Michigan, which direc tor Gilbert T. Williams and mem bers of the cast have worked out “We’re curious-to know if it would really work,” Chuck remarked. “Thurber has some catchy dia logue which is more difficult to play than a person would at first realize,” he explained. “But it’s a good college story in which stu dents will recognize a lot of events. Many of the sidelights are close to happenings on the Oregon campus.” Tickets for the show are now on sale in Johnson hall from 10 a. m.

Guest soloist with the orchestra will be Bertram Haigh, from the Minneapolis symphony orchestra, who will play Mozart’s Concerto in E flat for horn. Haigh is holding a horn clinic this week for high school students. . Faculty members soloing with the 65-piece orchestra are George Hopkins, Robert Hord, and Wade Parks, who will play a Bach con certo originally written for three pianos. The composition has never been played at a music school per formance before. George Boughton will play Dvor ak’s Concerto in A minor for violin and orchestra. The University orchestra has played for Midsummer Night’s Dream, the Douglas Memorial con cert and has given one other con cert during the year. Registering Plan (Continued from page one) stated, students will be given op portunity to complete registration for classes according to the speed with which they return the special enrollment cards. The change is for the convenience of old students, especially, he said, and early ap pointments will be given those who return their cards early. Cards which are not complete when returned will be invalid. The registrar made a plea to students to fill out the cards “legibly” and encouraged them to return them quickly for priority in classes next year. He stressed the fact that the cards are for fall term, not for summer sessions. Besides limiting enrollment lines such as occurred last fall, the ap pointment system (a return to a procedure used in fall term of 1947) will enable the University to know the approximate demands to be made on various departments and schools next fall and will help with planning classrooms, instruc tors, registration materials, veter an procedure, etc. The return to an appointment system resulted because registrants were not “distributed evenly” dur ing enrollment last year as they had been in previous years, Avery stated. The new cards will be available in the Emerald hall corridor Thurs day, Friday, and until noon Satur day and may be picked up at the registrar’s office after that time. Supplies for an entire living organ ization may be obtained by a house representative. Freshman week for 1948-49 will begin Sunday, September 12, and registration will continue from September 13-18. Classes will start Monday, September 20. Registration for summer session will begin Tuesday, June 15, and classes will meet beginning June 16. r — 1 n EUGENE’S NEWEST SELF SERVICE LAUNDRY R&R WASHATERIA Tumbler Dryer 8 A. M. until 9 P. M.

Wallace charged tonight that United States' refusal to open talks with Russia “is an answer calculated to continue the cold war.” Speaking before an overflow au dience in the Cow Palace, the third party presidential candidate said the state department’s insistence on settling the East-West dispute through the United Nations was side-stepping the main issue.
