Cancer grant given researchers Three University researchers have been awarded $6,850 of a $20,000 gTant given to the Uni versity of Oregon Medical School by the American Cancer Society. P. I. R1SLEY, professor of bi- i ology; L. H. Klemm, associate professor of chemistry; and Jacob Strauss, assistant profes sor of biology received these grants to continue their work in fields related to the cancer prob lem. The original $20,000 grant will be parceled out by the Medi cal School to cancer researchers among all state colleges. Klemm, who received the major grant ($4,850), is investigating 'Supreme Court' topic of today's SU coffee hour Scott Nobles’ award-winning squad will present a roundtable discussion on the topic, “Re> solve: That Congress Should Be Given the Power to Reverse the Decisions of the Supreme Court,” at the SU coffee hour today at 4 p.m. The affirmative team will con sist of Jeanne Guske and Judy Hawley and the negative team ■will include Carolin Smith and Tim Keating. new ways to synthesize tumor in hibitors. Many of the drugs have been prepared from trees of this region, he said. The first significant research in this field was done when it was found that a drug prepared from the root of the May Apple shrub would destroy cancer cells. This drug proved to be too toxic, how ever. KLEMM HOPES to synthesize an artificial drug similar to the natural ones which have already been discovered. This drug, he hopes, will retain the tumor in hibiting qualities but lose the dangerous toxic effect. Strauss, who received $1,000, is continuing with a problem he studied as an American Cancer Society Research Fellow at Har vard. A botanist, he found two dif ferent types of com tissue. The first is pigmented and has a low grovdh rate. The second is un pigmented and has a much higher growth rate. Although plants do not have cancer, he said that this condition might be analagous to cancer in animals. The grant will help him study the chemical difference be tween the two tissues in order to explain how this change in growth rate was produced.

The Oregon Deity EMERALD Play founder notes interest lack August L. Bowtner, director and founder of the Oregon Shake spearean Festival, said in an in terview that he was somewhat disappointed that no University of Oregon actors had been inter viewed for positions in the Fes tival acting company. Despite this, he said that hei had talked to several people in terested in technical and public relations work. THE LACK of actor interest was attributed to the fact that i most people planning to work in summer theater are still unde- i cided this early in the year. He j 1 said that most actors would make up their minds by the middle of April. Bowmer is making a two month, 28-state tour of the na tion's theater centers to inter view college actors. "To assist future planning at Southern Ore gon College I will also be com piling a study of theater courses, methods, and stage facilities on each campus,” he said. BOWMER HAS always been in terested in developing the theater in Ashland. At one time he di ! rected the “Vining Theater,” a winter theater using professional actors. He said that he had even discussed the possibilities of granting University credit for : work at the Festival with Horace Robinson, University Theater di- \ : rector, but that such a program was still in the brain storming stage. Bowmer explained that the Festival, which normally produces four Shakespearean plays in ro tation each night throughout the latter part of July, August and the first part of September, origi nally started in 1935 as a three day July 4 event. Last year, due to Bowmer’s Ford Foundation grant, the festival was able to hire some professional actors in addition to the college group. BOWMER SAID that he. was making this trip in an effort to improve the high acting standard that was set last year. This year, j he said, the Festival will not haVe the grant and will therefore de pend entirely upon college/ per sonnel. He explained that his method of selecting actors is somewhat unusual. Many of the actors are unknown to him. Some even come from foreign countries. To over-1 come this difficulty, Bowmer has j developed a system of question naires, cross-references, and staff ' recommendations. Even after a candidate has survived this screening and has been accepted as a member of the Festival company, he does not know what type of part he will have. The Festival does not use the “star system" common to j the movies, in which one star’s personality dominates the film. BOWMER FEELS that the ac tors should work together in u company much the same us they did in Shakespeare's own duy. As a result, the actor candi date finds himself facing com pany auditions on about June 12. If he is successful he may find himself Petruchio, Julius Caesar, or Richard III.
