Seems like the students of the University of Oregon have become bored by the average movie and have decided to go into the game themselves. This is surely a refreshing idea. If you don’t like the movies as ]hfllvunod makes them, bring Hollywood ~ to yourself and make your own. The attractive campus of the Uni- rersity of Oregon at Eugene has yeen transformed into a miniature Jollywood this spring,.and students ire busy filming the first.annual all- ampus feature length moving pic- ure. A professional cameraman, 1sing the very latest and best in quipment, is taking care of the echnical end of the production. The play Is being written and cted entirely by students.

She will portray-a typical, clever co-ed who will lead the hero of the play into many an embarrassing predica- ment, but In the end will realize that he is just what she came to college for. Phyllis Van Kimmel, who will be an innocent young freshman, a real hero worshipper, will blend comedy and serlousness in her role. Jewell Ellis, the sophisticated young lady, who sees all and knows all, has a rare sense of humor, and, while not the campus beauty, never- theless has a “line” fast enough to keep the best of the boys busy.

The part will call for a great deal of dramatic ability, and this was one of the qualifications which won Elliott the part. James Lyons will be a villain of the weak, misguided type. His ac- tions will be the source of much of the freshman’s anxiety and misfor- tune. This part calls for much dra- matic effort and was awarded to Lyons only after several tryouts of those screened. Norman Eastman will be the chlet comedian. He s the fat, good- natured roommate of the leading man, a rollicking character who is always ready for fun, and willing to take his share when the joke is turned on him. The story, which is now being written and made into a scenario under the direction of W. F. G. Thacher, professor of short-story writing, will be a typlical college tale, but will have several new and éntertaining features. It gets en- tirely away from the athletic con- test climax common to college movies, and yet has a definite and exeiting plot.

TWICEITHEIGH T, ¥ON HALF THEOJL LIGHT INSTANTLY, Agents Wanled iwn SOLUTION according to Major Elliott. A let- ter has been received from Dr. L. S. Rowe, Director General of the Union, answering a communica- tion from Major Elliott, saying his organization was deeply interested. Major Eliiott suggested that the Union consider the Alaska-Canada- Seattle project in connection with any Pan-American route it might have under consideration. Canada, Dr. Rowe said, is not a member of the Union. Owing to that fact, he was inclined to be- lieve that the Union would not con- sider any continental route that did not lie wholly within the scope of the confederation. However, the executive committee of the Union was to have met early this month and Dr. Rowe promised to lay the project before it for final action. Funds Are Available Funds for advertising the ad- vantages of the International High- way, such as proposed by the As- sociation, were made available in the sum of $1500 by the recent Alaska Legislature. This was turn- ed over to the Alaska Road Com- mission to be expended at its dis- cretion. Major Elliott said it would re- quire considerable investigation and consideration before a program could be adopted for expending this fund in a manner that will be pro- ductive of the best results. In adopting local road projects, he said, the Alaska Road Commis- sion keeps constantly in mind the proposed highway and desires to lay out its work in such a way that when the highway is completed, the work done will fit. into the com- pleted route to.the best possible advantage. The "road into the Chistochina-Nabesna-Chisana re- gion, now being surveyed, will ex- tend almost to the Canadian border from where a connection could be made to Whitehorse without much difficulty and would form a link in the international project. Later should sufficient traffic develop to justify it, a more direct route could be constructed up the Tanana River, thence to Whitehorse, mater- ially shortening the distance. - NOTICE Dance &t the Moose Hall Sat- urday night, May 18, postponed on account of the Moonlight Serenad- ers hiring two of the musicians.
