THOMPSONOn the corner of 58th and Univer¬sity avenue stands a new campusbuilding—the Oriental Institute—tobo formally dedicated next Sattirday.This structure is the smallest partof a University department whosework is projected into the heart ofthe ancient Near East, whose facuUyami scientists labor alonjr a thirty-five hundred mile front extendingfrom Turkey through Syria, Pales¬tine. Persia and upper Egypt.The Oriental Institute is a re¬search laboratory for the investiga¬tion of the beginnings of civiliza¬tion. of the early human career.To gather evidence for this historyof civilization, it has sent to Asiaand Northwest Africa thirteen fieldexpeditions, twelve of which are atwork today. These men, excavatingand searching for buried cities,Kgyptian palaces and lost works ofait and sculptor, are the unseen por¬tion of the University’s pe;sonnelwhich is engaged in slowly recover¬ing the fragments of the world’sgreatest epic—the conquest of civil¬ization.Land of the SphinxLeaving a campus that at its bestI' frequently monotonous, let usvisit the valley of the Nile and seewhat some of these field workersare doing. To be a member of suchan expedition, we may serve as anartist, photographer, architect, epi-grapher, draftsman, archeologist,surveyor, or just plain field assist¬ant—for there are positions for allIlf these on the staffs.The Prehistoric Survey is the firstproject the Institute launched in theNear East. Its .staff undertook thefirst detailed investigation of thegeological hi.story of the Nile valley,searching for the earliest evidencesof the appearance of man. At onepoint, this group found stone imple¬ments which are the oldest humanartifacts yet discovered in the NearEast, while details of an early so¬ciety of people who first attemptedto domesticate animals were learned.Un the west bank of the Nile, theSakkara expedition, digging inhuried masonry tombs, has foundmagnificently colored wall-reliefswhich give an elaborate picture ofthis society of 3000 B.

Mr. Thom¬as’ statement in favor of the ideia,which he offered to fraternities atUtah, was seized by newspapers asa subject for a symposium of stu¬dent opinion, to which an editor ofThe Daily Maroon was a contributor.“I agree with you that it is piti¬ful the past two years, to see thenumber of fine young men who can¬not take young ladies out, due tothe excessive expense—and to mynotion, the girls are just as muchthe losers as the boys.“It is interesting to know howmuch has been made of something Ididn’t .say. In my drive for economyon the campus of the University ofUtah and for assistance on the partof the well-to-do students, to lessenthe load for the poorer students aswell as to build for better democ¬racy on our campus, I had discussedthe matter with the fraternities, andinasmuch as recent years havebrought us a number of students ofwealth who have a great desire tomake affairs expensive, I said thatthere were certain young ladies inthe sororities who were constantlytrying to boost expenses, and thenI remarked that if we had the Ari¬zona plan, and some of them had topay 50 per cent of the expenses,that instead of wanting limousinesand expensive dinners, they wouldfavor riding on the street car.’’ The plight of the Cap and Gown, student yearbook of theUniversity for the past thirty-seven years, is a dire one indeed.Within the brief span of three days, approximately four hundred andfifty subscriptions must be raised in order to justify and guaranteethe publication of this year’s edition. It seems to The Daily Maroonthat it is highly doubtful whether such support can be marshalled.In the last few years, the yearLook has had a very unhealthyfinancial history indeed. A deficit was recorded the year before last.Last year, after a concerted subscription drive involving far moreballyhoo than has been carried on to date by the staff, the book waspublished with a profit, but unpleasant methods of soliciting adver¬tising employed by the firm to which the advertising contract waslet led to the decision that this year, if a book appears, the advertis¬ing in it would be solicited by students. From a purely financialpoint of view, this is a handicap to the publication.Student interest in the Cap and Gown has apparently beendeclining in the last few years. Fewer and fewer subscriptions havebeen secured year by year, in the face of more and more vigorousand concerted methods of solicitation. This year, solicitation hav¬ing been, to date, reduced to a minimum, it seems that the down¬ward trend of yearbook circulation is bound to continue. In thisyear of tightly-closed pockets, the Cap and Gown will appear inthe guise of a luxury to many; and many are rigidly avoiding luxuries.The Cap and Gown, many have said, definitely has a placeamong student publications. The Daily Maroon has advanced thatopinion; but the yearbook has a place among campus publicationsif and only if the students themselves want it and are willing tospend their money for it. It is not enough for a student to say thathe wants a yearbook at the University; the time has conqe for allsuch students to advance and lay their two dollars and a half on theline. ,Arguments for the retention of the practice of publishing ayearbook here are worthless if they are, as many such argumentshave been, based on tradition. After all, the students themselvesare the arbiters in a question such as the one which now confrontsthe undergraduate body, and it is the belief of The Daily Maroonthat if the students do not want a yearbook, there is little virtue inshoving one down their throats. We do not like the prospect of los¬ing the Cap and Gown, but we are frankly doubtful whether suf¬ficient support to justify the publication of one is secured this year.—L. N. R., Jr. y. W.

BY RUBE S. FRODIN, JR.For those who want to see the lat¬est dramatic efforts of a justly fam¬ous American novelist, for thosewho feel the importance of livingin the community which shelters theretiring Mr. Wilder, and for thosewho have a genuine interest in theproductions of the Dramatic associa¬tion, a group of twenty-two Univer¬sity students under the direction ofFrank Hurburt O’Hara will presentthree new plays of Thornton Wilderon the Reynolds stage tonight andeach night through Saturday.The Dramatic association has un¬dertaken the production of theseplays with its customary precisenessand understanding. And yet, theplayers and the director realize thatthey are joining with the author ona trip of dramatic exploration.In two of the three plays, Mr.Wilder has broken the bounds ofphotographic procedure which hasbeen employed on the stage for cen¬turies. He is not an outstandingpioneer. He is not being a martyrto the stage. He has, however, usedhis wide varieties of imaginative ex¬ periences to attempt several depar¬tures in dramatic practice.Several incidents brought aboutthe writing of the plays which areto be produced by the Dramatic as¬sociation. Mr. Wilder mentioned aconvei’sation which he had with Ar¬thur Hopkins, the noted New Yorkproducer.Mr. Hopkins told Mr. Wilder thatthe most exciting moment in anyof his productions came during thefinal rehearsals during which scen¬ery and costumes were not employ¬ed. He named the greatest per¬formance as that of John Barrymoreas Hamlet—in street clothes. Whywas it, then, that the best costumesand the most ingenious lightingseem to decrease rather than in¬crease dramatic illusion?Hoping to find an answer to thequestion Mr. Wilder determined toexperiment. .4 viewing of the per¬formances of Mei-Lan-Fang reveal¬ed to Mr. Wilder the underlyingmethods employed by Chinesedrama. Stimulated by these simplesymbolic methods Mr^ Wilder wrote(Continued on page-.4) Depression FundiProvides WomenWith Pin MoneyRelief for the current “depres¬sion’’ that has recently succeeded inclosing many loan societies is beingoffered to University women whofrequent Ida Noyes hall and who aresufficiently unfortunate as to findthemselves suddenly in need of suchsmall amounts as ten cents, fifteencents, twenty-five cents or even inextreme cases of one whole dollar.For the alleviation of those whoseshortage is not counted in terms ofdollars and cents the succor of a re¬pair bureau renders service in dis¬tributing, for the small sum of onepenny, such items as ink, needles,pens, pins, paper handkerchiefs,thread or hairpins.This financial mitigation is madepossible through a loan fund inau¬gurated some years ago by Mrs.Florence S. Goodspeed, director ofIda Noyes hall and by Mrs. Char¬lotte Wheeland, assistant in the hall.The idea of starting the fund firstoccured to directors of the hallwhen they discovered that Mrs.Wheeland was lending her ownmoney to girls who came to her witha particularly .saxi hard luck story.A Christmas collection which thehall usually employed to purchasefood for a needy family was turnedover to Mrs. Wheeland to use as afund for University women.The constitution drawn for theloan society requires that no morethan one dollar should be loanedto a girl and that the loan shouldlie returned within the followingweek. So that there will be no mis¬understanding the borrowers are in¬formed repeatedly that the largess(Continued on page 4)OFFICERS^ CLUB TOATTEND ‘POLO HOP’IN RESIDENCE HALLLaw Council Attempts Hutchins’ Class^NowTo Collect Class Dues Writes Weekly'TTiemeThe Law School council and of-'ficers of each class are institutinga drive to collect dues of fifty centsfrom each student enrolled in thelaw school.The money collected will be usedto provide newspapers in the smok¬ing room of the law building andwill defray a share of the expenseof the law school banquet whichwill be held early next quarter.In the recent elections held at theschool, Leonard P.

CANVASS FRATERNITIESWhether or not a Cap and Gownwill be published for 1932 dependsupon the success of the subscriptiondrive which terminates at the endof this week according to Gil White,editor of the year book. A check¬up yesterday afternoon disclosedthat so far only 250 advance sub¬scriptions had been procured and thenumber set as being necessary tofinance the publishing of the annualis 700.Up until yesterday the campaignhas been aimed at the campus ingeneral, and the remainder of thedrive will be spent in soliciting thefraternities. According to WilliamCuster, business manager of the Capand Gown, the bulk of the subscrip¬tions has, in past years, been se¬cured from the fraternal organiza¬tions, and as was the practice follow¬ed last year a free book will be giv¬en to each house whose memberssubscribe for at least fifteen vol¬umes. A member in each fraternityhas been selected to assist in secur¬ing advance subscriptions and willwork in conjunction with the busi¬ness staff of the annual.Determines Fate of AnnualUpon the success of the campaignrests the fate of an institution whichhas existed at the University forthirty-seven years. To quote DeanScott, director of student publica¬tions, “it would be unfortunate tofind that a need for a publicationsuch as the Cap and Gown does notexist at the University. As thechronological record of events for acurrent year, it should be indispens-ible to a student body.’’The drastic reorganization of theCap and Gown policy by the Uni¬versity has shifted the financial re¬sponsibility from the administrationlo the editors of the year book, anaa definite indication of demand fora Cap and Gown in 1932 is neces¬sary. The financial difficulties en¬countered by staffs of the Cap andGown for the past few years wasresponsible for a stipulation lastyear that 1000 advance subscrip¬tions be secured in order to insurepublication, and for the reorganiza¬tion this year.Price It $2.50In addition, the practice of secur¬ing advertising contracts through anational agency which entailed a 50per cent division of gross advertis¬ing receipts has been abolished andthe year book is purely dependentupon student enterprise.The price of the publication willbe $2.50, and as was the practice lastyear, each subscriber may make apledge deposit of $1.00 with the op¬tion of completing the purchase be¬fore spring. Staff members willtake subscriptions on campus dur¬ing the remainder of the drive atbooths located in Cobb and Mandelhalls.Large Subscription QuotaTo publish as elaborate a yearbook as the Cap and Gown has *>eenin the past at a sale price of $2.50entails a large subscription quota,and publication will not be attempt¬ed by the staff unless sufficient con¬fidence warrants it. The Cap andGown is comparable to any yearbook published at schools with avastly larger undergraduate enroll¬ment, and according to Gil Whiteadvance support is necessary forthe Cap and Gown staff to edit abook similar to previous standards.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON.

The officewas specifically created to eliminate the duplica¬tion in functions which had previously existed inthe administration of these affairs, and the con¬fusion which had often arisen from such duplica¬tion.Under the direction of Aaron J. Brumbaugh,Dean of Students in the College, the advisory sys¬tem, which had degenerated through neglect tobecome largely a matter of routine, has been de¬veloped to offer the student guidance not only incurricular affairs, but also in study habits, personalproblems, and all things concerning a man’s workin the college. Dean Brumbaugh has just com¬pleted a survey of the factors affecting the schol¬arship of a thousand typical undergraduates, theresults of which will be of great value in his work,and in that of the Deans in the college.Dean William E. Scott has been burdened withthe duty of oelng the University’s official advisorto the fraternities, and has gone about his dutiesin that capacity in a manner which has dispelledany suspicion which might have been held by thefraternities that he might feel it his job to meddlein their affairs. With the same fairness and judg¬ment, he is undertaking the task of replacing the jstudent-faculty Board of Publications, which dis- |solved itself early this fall. IiDean Works and his corps are still at work on ithe most important problem faced by the office of jthe Dean of Students this year; viz., the prepar¬ation of the comprehensive examinations to be ad¬ministered at the conclusion of the work of theCollege. These examinations, it has probablybeen said more elegantly elsewhere, are the veryheart of the University’s new plan. If they proveto be merely expanded versions of the same type jof quiz administered at the close of each course,under the old educational system, or if they aredifferent but valueless, the reorganization and itsbackers will receive a very public, and very black,educational black eye. On the other hand, theproduction of really adequate, searching, andworthwhile examinations of a type designed totest the student’s capacity to make use of the fac¬tual material and the reasoning methods that theUniversity Tias tried to teach him will do morethan any other one thing to make the reputation [of the reorganization, which to date has of ne¬cessity been a paper one.The creation of this office of the Dean of Stu- |dents has filled a need which has been felt for isome time. Links between the University admin- jistration and the undergraduate body have beenforged in the past, but have in the main been in- ; adequate. Additions and substitutions created amaze of educational and administrative machineryso unwieldly that it was formerly a task involvinggreat effort to determine just what courses wereto be required in a sequence, or just when one wasto graduate. The attitude of the University to¬ward the fraternal groups in general and their so¬cial affairs in particular was complicated by thefact that there was no one individual definitelyresponsible for the relations between Universityand fraternity. The duties of the social directorextended little beyond the routine ones of book¬ing affairs to which guests were invited, and seeingthat chaperones were properly secured.But, with the creation of Dean Works’ job,title, office, and associates, the University an¬nounced its intention of bettering the relations ex¬isting between the University and the student, asan individual, as a member of a social group, andas a member of an undergraduate enterprise. TheDaily Maroon here commends the excellent be¬ginning which has been made by the office of theDean of Students, and devoutly hopes that Uni¬versity-undergraduate relations will be still furth¬er bettered by the efforts of that office in the fu¬ture.—L.

All the other inmatesof the hall thought she was deliberately snub¬bing them so they reported her to the hallcounselor who for her part gave the younglady hell. The plea of nearsightedness thatwas put forth was ruled out because theyoung lady did not squint like all near sight¬ed persons should do.

Wilfrid SeagramCharles Laughton is a comfort- iable, “daddy” sort of person witha great emotional mobility; and iwhen, in “Payment Deferred”, tiecommits murder and then adultery |—he carries with him a sympathy jwhich could only be stimulated by !the finest type of acting. His Mr. ^Marble is neither a weakling nor a !villain. He is just one more hu.nat* Itrying to buck implacable circum¬stances and with each effort, findinghimself pushed farther back—until !crushed against the wall, he finally 'crumbles—and the play is no more.But until he finally does a’umble, iand the long deferred payment is Imeted out, he holds together throughhis own dramatic strength, the rath-!er scanty fabric of action which has,for some unfounded reason, beenscattered through seven scenes, aprologue, and an epilogue. The onlyreason for the play at all is the char- iacjer disintegration of Mr. Marble |—and the author, having conceived ithat character, is quite at a loss toknow what to do with him. It is j!just an unfortunate case of bad 'play writing. The central character |was a happy motif fallen into in-!adroit hands; that embroider and !embroider around it with increasingbewilderment. IJust why all those scenes were jnecessary to depict the brief actionof “Payment Deferred”—and justwhat the purpose of the author was ;in breaking up his dramatic unity ito such an extent—he alone can tell, j(His name is Jeffrey Dell). Then asa final touch to his lack of ti\igicintuition, he has appended a pro¬logue and an epilogue, supposed todepict the public attitude toward theMarble tragedy, an attitude which istotally unnecessary in any piece ofart, unless interwoven delicately.The audience is quite capable offorming its own reaction to this sit¬uation, w'ithout any ostentatious dis¬play of the epilogue variety.The situation itself—reminiscentof “The Way of All Flesh” and“Variety”—is typical of the plotswritten for the use of the late EmilJannings. And Mr. Laughton, him¬self reminds one of the German starwho left many tabloid versions ofcomfortable, middle-aged papas whofound temptation wound aroundtheir necks like snakes, coiling evermore tightly until they could nolonger breathe. The snake whichstrangles Mr. Marble is the murderhe commits when poverty drives himto distracted limits. Throughout theplay, the snake coils tighter untilhe is driven into a frenzied danceto the tune of a cheap French mo¬diste, who mistakes papa for SantaClaus. ^The dance fails to relieve him fromthe pain of suffocation, and fromthen on, Mr. Marble settles down toawait his fate. That fate comes in¬directly through the medium of hisdaughter, who develops through the |fruits of his crime and in full bloom, !winds the adder around her own *throat and leaves the play whereher father entered it—doomed. ElsaLanchester as the red-headed Idaughter w'ho inherits the curse ofan unhappy progeny is the othermember of the cast who deservesapplause. The Dramatic League hasthe good fortune to introduce Mr.Laughton as the star of a none tooenlightened production.TRY OUR SPECIALSUNDAY DINNERSpecial Middle-nite LuncheonsSelected Quality FoodJ. & C.
