Readings Highlight
Robinson's Lecture
Selected interpretative readings
from the works of Tennessee Wil
liams highlighted the lecture on
"Moonlake Casino” as the symbol
of a reoccurring mood in the plays
of the young southern author de
livered by Horace Robinson, asso
ciate professor of speech, in the
Student Union browsing room
Tuesday night.
“Moonlake Casino” represents
more than a signature name as it
constantly reappears in Williams’
plays,” he said. “It is a dramatic
fixation used to represent the com
mon man as opposed to the aristo
crat, evil as opposed to good, and
the spirit as opposed to the flesh.
And there is no doubt as to its ex
istence in reality.”
Williams' description of the ca
sin is "almost photographic" in its
portrayal of the resort as an arch
type of social evil, a place mothers

RAINFALL RETURNS TO OREGON
RAIN I J
Old 'Man Itainfall is here (o
slay, after being ushered in by
a heavy downfall between 1>:30
and 1 p.m. Wednesday.
News of his “official arrival”
was confirmed Wednesday by
Jack Bradford and Frank
Houghton, meteorologists at the
Kugene weather bureau.
The last heavy rainfall in Eu

' :ferary Magazine
Rejected by Board
The Student Publications board i
Wednesday night accepted a report
which stated that “the creation of
a student literary magazine at the
University of Oregon is not feas
ible at present.”
Lack of student interest and fi
nancial support were cited as reas
ons for the negative report submit
ted to the publications board by
Carlisle Moore, associate professor
of English, Donald DuShane, di
rector of student affairs, and Ger
ry Pearson, senior in English. All
are members of the board.
The committee recommended
termination of consideration of the
literary magazine.

that:
“The committee feels that the

with short clear periods, Hough
ton said.
On the heels of Wednesday’s
noontime storm is the threat of
another today or Friday. A
storm center about 800 miles off
the coast will be the causative
factor, if the storm materializes,
Bradford said.
The heavy rainfall of Wednes
day was not only characteristic
of Eugene, however. The bad
weather conditions are general
along the coast, from the Gulf
of Alaska to the central part of
California, Bradford explained.
The prediction for today and
the remainder of the week is
frequent showers with overcast
skies. The high for today will tic
58 degrees, with moist, unstable
air, Bradford revealed.
With the coming of the rain,
tlif fog which has been blanket
ing Eugene late in the evenings,
will probably disappear.
The fog has been nourished by
the stable air and the lack of
wind, Bradford said. The stag
nant air which has been trapped
in the valley is also the result of
the stable conditions, lie con
tinued.
The smoke mixed with fog is
also the outcome of the stable
conditions in the valley, Brad
ford said.
The predicted rain for the win
ter months will have no summer
records to compete with. The
total rainfall from dime to Sep
tember in Eugene was only 5.59
inches, dune had 4.76 inches,
August .09, and September .74.
duly’s rain was too scant even to
bo recorded, Houghton said.
