"The practice of having debates
on the campus was discontinued
several years ago," according to
Prof. H. A. White, debate coach,
"because of the lack of student In

the appearance these open contests
will be held on the campus Instead
of before local non-university

Indications seem to point to
another tryout this semester, in
the opinion of Professor White,
though the matter is still very
doubtful. If enough men want to

'Dangerous Corners' Draws
Acclaim of Audience
Monday Night.
CONTINUES THRU WEEK
Sumption Impresses in Lead
Role of Broadway
Production.
Presenting their fifth drama
of the year, the University
Players scored a hit in then
opening performance of J. B.
Priestly 's Broadway success.
"Dangerous Corners,'1 at the Tem
ple theater Monday night. A full
house witnessed the mystery play
which enjoyed a nine months' run
before packed houses on Broadway
last season. Performances will con
tinue at the Temple each night
throughout the week with a special
matinee scheduled for Saturday
afternoon.
Has Unique Scene.
Headed by Harold "Pete" Sump
tion, dramatics instructor, the cast
of seven presented a fine perform
ance which drew the enthusiastic
applause ' of the audience which
witnessed it. One of the scenes
most commended bv the audience,
and a difficult one, was that in
which Sumption, cast in the role of
Robert Chatfield, wealthy New
York publisher, leads one to believe
that he goes off-stage to commit
suicide, only to return suddenly,
and with a changed voice continues
the dialogue as it was in the nrst
act. The scene is unique in that it
leaves the audience temporarily
bewildered.
Cast Performs Well.
Armand Hunter, in his role as
Gordon Whitehouse, a rather ef
feminate sort of lad, also contrib
uted an effective performance and
one much different from those he
has previously played.
The performances of the four
women in the cast also contributed
to the general effectiveness of the
drama. Jane McLaughlin, as Maud
Mockridge, was convincing and
true to life, and Veronica Vilnave's
role of Freda Chatfield was well
done. Sylvia Schaefe and Virgene
McBride in the other feminine
roles gave capable performances.
All action of the play takes place
in one room in the home of Chat
field. Sumption directed the play
ers in their preparation for the
drama and Robert Reade, stage
manager, designed end supervised
construction of the set.
The cast is as follows:
Maud Mockridge Jane McLaughlin
Olnen Peel Sylvia Schaefer
Freda Chatfield Veronica Vllnave

Zoology Professor
Reports Good Luck
In Marine Research
Reports of "very good luck" in
his research of fish parasites and
marine life near the Galopagos
Islands in the South Pacific have
been made by Dr. H. W. Manter,
associate professor of zoology and
special advisor to pre-medic fresh
men, in a recent letter to Mrs.
Manter.
Dr. Manter, who is carrying on
research for the Carnegie institu
tion, arrived on the islands, which
are 650 miles off the coast of
Equador, on Jan. 11. He is one of
a party of noted scientists who are
investigating various forms of sea
life in the Pacific, such as certain
species of crabs, algae, corals and
Jelly fish. Because of the volcanic
origin of the Galopagos Islands
and the fact that they are seldom
visited, Dr. Manter deems them an
ideal field for research.
Sponsored by Hancock.
The expedition, which is spon
sored by Captain G. Allen Han
cock of Los Angeles expects to re
turn to the United States some
time during the first week in
March. Before reaching their des
tination, surveys will also be con
ducted along the coasts of Mexico,
Central and Soutn America.
Through the p .sites from fish
which he will collect on the expe
dition. Dr. Manter will be able to
compare the specimens from the
Atlantic and Pacific, having al
ready collected numerous forms
from the coast of Florida and re
gions of the tropical Atlantic.
Since parasites from the Pacific
have never before been studied and
collected Dr. Master's research
will make possible for the first
time an establishment or ue de
grees of differentiation between
the ' specimens from the two
oceans.
Other research workers in the
expedition are Dr. Walso Schmitt
of the Smithsonian institution. Dr.
William Randolph Taylor of the
University of Pennsylvania, and
Dr. C. McLean Franser of the Unl- .
