Gnoakettf OH Vet— Number of Ways (Continued front page two) Arts Museum. Why don’t you grow up? Sure the dormitoriies have to be kept on a paying basis. Sure it’s going to be tough on the Greeks. In spite of the good cooperation the independents have given the plan it’s going to be tough on them too. It seems to me that “Young Don Smith” has been a little rough on the Greeks because they have been so stubborn in refusing to accept the inevitable. And another thing, no part of the Vets’ Com mons has been closed off. 1 doubt if anyone disliked the manner the DuShane plan was shoved down our throats any more than I did. I felt from the start that the primary reason for the “plan” was to keep the dormitories full. Still, I think the fair thing to do is give the plan an honest trial, then if it doesn't work you will certainly have a lot more to argue with than just emo tion. Gy/tattA QU&wtU*o.Hi.— Equal Rights (Continued from page tzvo) It is said that we can sometimes learn from history. So if you want to take a look at the future, men, look to the past. Look at the cur rent Alley Oop cartoon strip, and wonder— and worry a little. If ever a threat could unite Greek and Independent in a co-fraternity of man, this should do it. In a recent edition of Editor and Publisher magazine there appeared the following typo graphical blurb, culled by some proofreader of the Pennsylvania Bulletin : “Yet the sulfas and the antibiotics, among them, have taken the terror out of the pneu monias and have made the venereal diseases no longer the university plague.” Will this embarrass Harris? Due to a leak in the athletic office last year, some of the members of the ski team learned they had been invited to the Vanderbilt races. So they scraped up some money and paid their own way. And to provide a beautiful evening, they took two places. The only difficulty is that ap parently no one realized Oregon had a ski team, so the cups were inscribed with the name of Oregon State College. Louise Clouston to Play Spinster in 'Thunder Rock' By NORMAN ANDERSON If versatility is the mark of an actress, then Louise Clouston is “in'.” When “Thunder Rock” opens Friday night, Feb. 3, Louise will be appearing in her sixth University Theatre production. According to Louise, her present role, that of Miss Kirby, rebellious, old-maidish, and an agitator for equal rights for wo men, is not the most difficult nor the most interesting char acterization in her experience. Nor is Miss Kirby a role that Louise easily fell into. ‘Most Interesting Role’ “I think it’s the most interest ing of the three feminine roles in the play. She has such a definite characterization that it's easy to depict her.” Inasmuch as Miss Kirby is the usual picture of a fiery old maid, Louise, physically, has had some trouble. Most people think of a person of this type as rather tall, stringy, and shapeless individual. Louise has flaming red hair, grey eyes Land is about two or three feet shorter than Gregory Peck.

Bdwy Ph. 4-5353 However, it happens to be the least of her handicaps as far as she is concerned, and she hopes her performance will prove her right. Played ‘Puck’ Louise recalls that the part of Puck in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” gave her the most pleas ure. That was a role which was almost made for her. Gabby, in “The Petrified Forest,” produced the same year, was another role Louise enjoyed. “She was sort of like Miss Kirby, in that Gabby was also caught in a situation which she couldn’t do anything about. But Miss Kirby’s problem is a little different. She’s a very lonely per son who is all tied up inside. Many times she’d like to loosen up but 40 years of being an old maid are against her.” Louise has found that trying to show the change in Miss Kirby as the action in the play continues has been a little difficult, pointing out that “it’s a pretty subtle change in characterization.” Plans Secretarial Work After graduation, Louise doesn’t plan to go on into the theater. Instead she’s continuing the secre tarial work she started some time ago. During the summers she LET US HELP YOU SHOW "DAD" THE TOWN PROMPT and COURTEOUS SERVICE PHONE 5-4311 TERMINAL TAXI 450 Willamette Eugene LOUISE CLOUSTON * work's for the Roundup committee in her home town of Pendleton where “they don’t have much in the way of drama.’’ But Louise’s college drama ex perience has been broad enough to carry her along for quite awhile. In addition to the previously men tioned plays, Louise has appeared in “The Yellow Jacket,” “The Ad ding Machine,” and “Dover Road.” She also is president of National Collegiate Players and is a mem ber of Phi Beta, women’s national music and drama honorary.

Last year’s awards amount ed to $200. U. S. Education Commissioner estimates 32,671,500 students en tered the nation’s school this fall. That's a lot of mothers with peace and quit.
