Kerr to Illustrate Talk
With Slide Collection
A series of "William Allen
White’’ slides will be presented
Thursday at 4 p.m. in the Student
Union browsing room by Willis
Kerr, librarian emeritus of Clare
mont college, Calif., and long
time friend of White. The illus
trated lecture is part of the reg
ular Wednesday evening series,
, but held at this new time.
Kerr will present 70 slides made
from inscriptions and autographs
on different copies of White’s
books. Revealed in these inscrip
tions is the generosity that was
White and also his whimsical
characteristic of William Allen
traits.
Some of the slides are portraits
of White while he was at his work.
Mistaken Identity
Featured in Play
A series of hilarious mistaken
identities is featured in the Uni
versity theater’s first production.
"See How They Run.” Under the
direction of Horace W. Robinson,
Phillip King’s British farce will
open on the main stage Friday.
Tickets for the production are
now on sale in the theater box of
fice from 1 to 5 daily. Tickets for
Saturday night are sold out, Mrs.
Gene Wiley, theater business man
ager said, but good seats are
available for almost all other per
formances. Tickets may be re
served at the box office or by
calling campus extension 401.
Loretta Mason, sophomore in
speech, will make her UT debut
as Penelope, wife of the vicar.
Wade Eaton is cast as her hus
band, and Harry Smith, returning
to the University after 2 >2 years
in the service, is cast as the GI
friend, Clive. Joella Wood adds a
fourth to her list of UT produc
tions with her role of Ida, the
comical maid.
Others are letters and other cor
respondence "that White sent us
from London,” said Kerr,
Most of the material shown in
the slides was procured from dif
ferent book collectors after the
writer’s death and was organized
by Kerr. However, the collection
was started when both the White’s
and the Kerr's lived in Emporia,
Kan., and were connected with
Kansas State Teacher's college.
In presenting the slides, Kerr is
brought closer to his first love—
that of books and libraries. He
said that “since 1911 he has work
ed on nothing but books and li
braries—and people.”
Kerr has had a large part in
developing the college libraries o 1
Bellevue college (Nebraska),
Westminster college (Missouri),
and Claremont graduate school.
He also started the Scripps col
lege library in 1927, and has had
advisory relation with it for 24
years.

LAWYER COMPLAINS
Student Court ^
Legality Asked
The student traffic court was
charged Wednesday with being
“unlawfully constituted and incom
petent, ’ with "violating provisions
of the Oregon constitution” in at
tempting to enforce certain regula
tions; and “with violating the 14th
amendment of the United States
constitution.”
J. Kelly Farris, law school sen
ior, questioned the right of the
court to fine him for a parking
ticket. His argument against the
legality of the court to take his
money was supported by an exten
sive brief which included references
to the state and national constitu
tions, the University of Oregon bul
letin, and various test cases. He
stressed the fact that no place in
the bulletin was any mention made
of the court’s right to deduct traf

chose to keep the meeting on a legal
level, and moved the case be dis
m'.°sed on his stated grounds. Tho
court admitted that it did not hava
the legal ability to meet Farris’s
arguments. However it decided that
it must test the case or cease to
function. The five members of tha
court voted unanimously to refuse
dismissal of the case.
Farris then demanded that the
court produce proof for its charge,
and that it grant him an immediate
trial by jury. The court having no
machinery for providing a jury

unanimously voted to assess the

come before the student affair3

Carl Weber, chairman of the

stand I have no idea how legal it.

will probably find out the legality
