( Picture on page 3)
The social position of men and women will get
clever, satirical treatment tonight when “The War
rior's Husband" opens at S p.m. in the University
Theater.

Thompson, three-act comedy begins an eight-day
run, which will include two special performances
Honda}- and Tuesday nights.
In the starring role as Sapiens will be Gordon
Ericksen, versatile actor who starred in “Winter
set” in January. Ericksen has the difficult task of de
picting a man reared in a woman's world. As Sapiens,
Erickson "finagales" his way into the upper crust of
Amazon court life, marries the Queen, and raises the
social status of the men in his kingdom with his ac
complishments in war and love.

Hippolyta will be Fru Vosberg and Evelyn Snow.
They will play the role on different nights.

of the famous girdle of Diana, will lie played by an
other veteran University performer, Norm Weekly.
Supporting roles are played by Virginia Howard
as Caustica, Claire Wiley as Heroica, and Ruth Kil
bourn as Pomposia. These three women compose
part of the Queen’s Council and the “old lady” sejuab

University Could Fight Cold War,
Believes U.O. Political Scientist
“The university should guard
against the sin of radicalism, and
the assumption of finality. It
should be abstract about partisans
of all purpose.’’
In this way the university could
be an effective weapon against the
cold war, in the opinion of Dr. E. S.
Wengert, head of the political
science department, who spoke last
night in Chapman Hall.
Wengert defined the purpose of
the university in the state, saying
it should cultivate conscious ab
stract thinking, and provide stu
dents with questions rather than
answers.
In this way, he believes, the
state would learn to face current
affairs directly and with reason.
“The impact of the cold war
on the university is inescapable,”
Wengert said. He called his defin
ition of the university’s purpose
the “Watchtower” task, saying it
was the only way to teach students
to guard against war hysteria.
Wengert’s “Watchtower” defin
ition opposes the scholarly, with
drawn “Ivory Tower” attitude,
which he termed a form of escape.
The only alternative, Wengert con
tinued, is violence, “which ends the
appeal to reason, and the possibil
ity of a university.”
Wengert’s lecture was the fourth
in the current University Lecture
Series,

Faculty Rating
Goes on Today
Faculty rating continues today
in some 370 classes participating'
this year.
“Today will be the heavy day be
cause so many more students have
Friday classes,” Chairman Mildred
Chetty remarked. “Rating seems
to have proceeded well yesterday,”
she said.
Students who have suggestions
for changing the form may write
to Miss Chetty at Delta Gamma or
Mortar Board President Marjorie
Peterson at Chi Omega, the chair
man stated.
The senior women’s honorary
plans to make a survey of students
and faculty at the first of spring
term, when the rating is still fresh
in their minds.
From these results, the organiza
tion will revise the forms and send
the changes as a suggestion to the
ASUO Executive Council to be used
in next year’s rating.
Mortar Board wanted to change
the forms for this year’s rating,
Miss Chetty explained, but com
ments from department heads in
terviewed and professors who had
the rating last year indicated that
the faculty would prefer to be rated
winter term. It was impossible
to revise the forms in time for
winter term rating, so last year’3
form was repeated.
Results from the rating conduct
ed yesterday and today will be re
turned to individual professors at
the beginning of spring term.
