Her ambition is to teach literature in high school and in .college. Her main problem is that she can't take all the courses in which she is interested.

She is a senior in business administration who will Producer Addresses Brtrnia Conference By Barbara Hollands Robert Edmond Jones, noted American theatrical designer, producer, author, and philosopher, addressed the three hundred delegates to the annual Northwest Drama conference at its clos ing session Saturday afternoon in the music school auditorium. Discussing “The Theater of the Future,” Jones said, “Our job is to get the theater into 1949.” “We must realize that drama is a backward art and do some thing about it,” he continued. “In the past twenty-five years there has not been one new im pulse in theater—but what has happened in the past is not our concern; what will happen in the future is very much so.” Art of Emotion Jones explained that the art of the theater is the art of emotion. Presenting selections from various plays, such as “The Women” and "Romeo and Juliet,” to illustrate his point, he said, “Emotions do not change, but ways of expressing them do.” “All art deals with life,” Jones went on, “but the theater is life it self—-and it is art, too.” Using as an example an ordinary china teacup, he described various people's reactions to it—how a child is impressed by color and texture; how a painter analyzes its shape and design; how a scientist examin es its composition. “But a theater man,” Jones said, “sees it in the act of being used— to him it is animated and dynamic, and this is the very essence of the theatrical attitude.” Artist’s Business Jones stressed the point that the business of an artist is to be excit ing. Laughter and applause greeted his next remark when he added, “that statement should be on every radio program every hour on the hour.” In concluding, Jones said, (iwe must lay aside our plaything idea of the theater and realize that its purpose is the revelation of splen lor.” Presiding over the final session was D. Glenn Starlin of the speech department. graduate at the end of this term, and at present is chiefly occupied in looking for a job. She very much enjoys skiing but is “sold” on Mexico, where she traveled last winter. She thinks that she would have been more im pressed by the Mardi Gras in New Orleans if she had not been to Mex ico first. One of Marilee's particular inter ests is flying. She has already so loed and hopes to continue her les sons later so that she can obtain her pilot’s license. For the past five summers she has held a job in Amity, Oregon, doing bookkeeping. Marilee was initiated into Phi Chi Theta, na tional business women's honorary, last term, and is a member of Al pha Chi Omega sorority. Loyal Idahoan Little Captain Lois Ann Haegle is a loyal Idaho fan from Hailey, which is near Sun Valley, Idaho. However, she “heard such glowing reports about Oregon” that she “came over to find out.” Lois’ statistics include five feet two and one-fourth inches of stat ure, with light brown hair and blue eyes. Her supreme ambition is to travel, especially to Maui in the Hawaiian islands. She has already seen a good bit of this country, keeping careful scrapbooks of her trips. She likes to dance and has a “burning desire to play golf” which has not yet been satisfied. When she has a chance, she drives toward the McKenzie pass because the mountains remind her of those back home.
