from each political party wan en- j

their respective ballots, April 20,
In the primaries.
The inactivity In the race for
president, however, wasn’t indi
cative of the situation in general.
In the AGS competition, especial
ly. two hot contests have shaped
up.
Three candidates filed petitions
on the last day for the office of
senior class president and two
more petitioners made their in
tentions known in the competi
tion for sophomore class presi
dent, making a total of four in
the running for that office on
the AGS ticket.
Five Unopposed
The situation on the UIS slate
was completely different. Be
sides Vahey, four other candi
dates in the running for class
offices are unopposed. This
makes the primary mere for
mality for these aspirants.
The petitioning ended with a
total of 54 candidates in the race.
Of these 34 represent AGS and
20 are from UIS.
In the AGS senior class presi
dent primary a real battle ap
pears certain with Bob McCrac
ken, Kv Stiles and Martin Bran
denfels all on the ballot. All three
held out until the final hour to
make their intentions known and
there appears to be some real
party rivalry among them.
Hot Kace
A similar contest has shaped
up in the AGS sophomore class
president race. In addition to
Gordon Summers and John Ra
ventos, who filed previously, Jim
Lynch and Jim Perry entered the
picture on the last day.
The four UIS hopefuls who
have "no worries" in the pri
maries are Kip Wharton, senior
class president; Sam Frear, sen
ior class representative; Carl

William Faulkner
Tells of Dream'
By Don Osborne
Emerald luwitit
William Faulkner, in his speech
Wednesday on the "American
Dream," called the dream "a
sanctuary on earth for individual
man," but said later that we
have lost that dream.
A short but distinguished man
with almost pure white hair, he
talked in a low, fast voice that
was barely understandable. The
crowd that filled the Student
Union ballroom remained silent
throughout the speech, straining
to catch what they could.
The country, he said, was
founded by men who believed.
"We will establish a land where
the individual will live. A land
where no man will be a king.
He wouldn’t even want to be a
king.”
The people all over the earth,
Faulkner said, heard about that
dream and came to live it.
"There’s room for all of you."

Comedy by Ferenc Molnar
Will Be Presented bv UT
"Arthur,” a comedy from the
pen of Ferenc Molnar, is the new
est addition to the wide variety
of productions offered to Uni
versity Theater audiences this
year. The production, under the
direction of Daniel Krempel, in
structor of speech, is scheduled
to run April 22 through 30, ex

The play is cast with many
new faces. The opening scene of
this continental comedy finds
Edith, player by Deneice Ken
yon, the sophisticated divorcee,
plagued by suitors after her con
siderable fortune. Darrell Kee
ney, who plays her father, comes
to her rescue by creating “Ar
thur,” the ideal husband. The
results of this invention and the
complications arising from “Ar
thyj” bring the play to its
“frantic and funny” climax.
Supporting them will be Don
Holt, who has appeared in many
University Theater productions,
who will step into the romtntic
lead as Edith’s sincere and stuf
fy suitor, Robert.
Jo Malango, also a veteran UT
performer, will appear as the
Bishop; Dan Frank will play the
butler, and Cedric Hayden, in
his first appearance, w^l play
Ribaud.
Gloria Begenich will appear as
Edith’s maid, Julie, and “The
Woman” will be played by Gail
Monte. Both of these girls also
appeared this year in "Bernar
dine.”

Hoyt McCachren and Chuck
Stauffacher, assistant director
for the production, will make
his first University Theater ap
pearance as the boy.

An Emerald Editorial
Washington Students Welcome
An Open Letter to the Students of the University of Wash
ington :
Dr. J. Robert Oppenhcimcr, noted nuclear physicist, will
appear on the University of Oregon campus April 19 and 20.
< )ppcnheimcr will deliver the annual Condon Lectures,
sponsored by the Oregon State System of Higher Education!
Ilis topic will be “The Constitution of Matter.”
We are certain that many UVV physics students would find
Oppenhcimcr'., lectures both interesting and informative.
'I his letter is written, therefore, as an invitation to all those
students who have been deprived of the opportunity of hearing
-uch an outstanding physicist speak on scientific subjects. °
We write this, not to further complicate the lamentable situ
ation which exists on the Washington campus, but, rather,
to express our sincere regret that, by the decision of Univer
sity President Henry Schmitz, you have been deprived of
what we feel might be important to a segment of your stu
dent body.
We are confident that the majority of our faculty would
second our invitation, and that the regret we express is shared
by students, educators, and administrators throughout the
state system.
Sincerely,
The Editorial Board of the
Oregon Daily Emerald
(Ed. Note: See editorial "Serious Situation” on page
two of today’s Emerald).

Baldinger to Give Talk
On Buddhist Beliefs
The formal opening today of
an exhibit of Japanese Buddhist
images at the Museum of Art
will feature a talk by Wallace
Baldinger, curator of the mu
seum, on "Buddhist Beliefs and
Their Expression in Sculpture.”
Baldinger's talk will be given
at 4 p.m. in the museum library.
Tea will be served following the
lecture.
The exhibit includes four im
ages of the Japanese Buddha,
Sho-Kannon. The statuettes
range in age from about S90
A.D. to 1300 A.D. They were
carved out of Japanese Cyprus
and lacquered with gilt, some of
which still remains on the im
ages.
Each carving represents the
Buddha in a different spirit and
mood. The gallery arrangement
will show how the images would
have appeared in the Japanese
temple.
The opening of the display was
originally scheduled for April 8,
the birthday of the founder of
Buddhism, Gautama Buddha, but
was postponed because of Good
Friday.
The exhibit is also in honor of
Jiro Harada, Japanese lecturer
and author, who was responsible
for the acquisition of the images
by the University.
