STUDENT ARMY DISPUTE STIRS DE PAUW FIGHT Removal From Compulsory Class Reported Factor in Oxnam Trouble. Removal of the De Pauw university R. O. T. C. unit from a required basis in 1929 by Dr G Bromley Oxnam. president, is said to be a strong factor in the growing opposition to Dr. Oxnam among the faculty. The American Association of University Professors has beeen investigating the sudden dismissal last June of Professor Ralph Hufferd. who long has supported the military corps. Dr. Oxnam, in answer to a query by The Times, declared that he had no statement to make concerning the investigation. Dr. Oxnam, it is charged, arbitrarily removed the corps to an optional basis without asking a faculty vote. The faculty, it is said, was granted the right under the university charter of determining changes of curriculum. Voluntary Plan Popular Previous to this action and before the incumbency of Dr. Oxnam, there had been a heated discussion of O. R. T C. units in academic circles. Although a poll indicated that the voluntary enrollment status was most popular, the vote was very close. Defenders of the military corps claimed a majority when Dr. Oxnam began his term at De Pauw. The faculty anticipated a vote again would be taken, because the president's pacifist, tendencies were known, However, Dr. Oxnam abolished compulsory military training without taking a poll. Faculty critics claim that this ac-, tion created a spark of resentment that has grown with subsequent acts, such as abolishing the faculty privilege of deciding educational policies. Professor Hufferd. the highest ranking reserve officer in the Greencastle area, actively had supported the corps and had twice | spoken before the university chape] ; on national preparedness. Claim Oxnam On Fence’ General George Van Horn Mosely, commander of the Fifth corps area, following an investigation of the De Pauw situation, asked Dr. Oxnam to openly state his position as to whether he wished to banish the Methodist university unit. Alumni charged Dr. Oxnam with trying to appease both the Methodist and alumni factions without taking a definite stand when he replied that it was the government s privilege to demand removal of the corps. Faculty critics claim that Dr. Oxnam compromised with his anti-military ideals. They also charged that Dr. Oxnam with covertly sabotaging the unit enrollment by propaganda so that the membership would fall j below the number necessary for maintenance. Snap Course, He Claims Although Dr. Oxnam stated that his opposition to the corps was because it was regarded as a "snap course” giving a high percentage to top grade, the grade distribution in 1929-30 reveals that two other departments, comparative literature and Greek, had a greater percentage j of high grades. Observers claim that the resent- j rnent again was not over a clash j between military and pacifist policies. but in methods used by the j university president. Both of these actions have in- j flamed not only the pre-military group, but other professors who had not previously entered into the dispute. They claim that their privileges have been violated.

‘Hedda Gabler,’ Famed Ibsen Play, to Be Presented at Civic Theater

•The Doll's House' Proof of City’s Interest in Dramatist's Works. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN Indianapolis relies upon local amateur acting groups for the staging of Ibsen's plays. Last week, the Irvington Playhouse gave three performances of The Doll's House.” Next Thursday at the Civic theater playhouse. Hale Mac Keen will present "Hedda Gabler” for four performances, including a Saturday matinee. Last spring when Mr. Mac Keen asked for a vote on plays desired Civic theater members cast the most ballots for ' Hedda Gabler.” “The Doll’s House” was directed by Muriel Brown, with David Clarke as technical director and Robert Moffett as stage manager. Near Capacity Audience The night I saw' “Doll's House” nearly every seat in the Irvington Playhouse was occupied. Young persons, as well as adults, were attracted by the play. The one set was produced carefullv and in a manner which reflected credit upon Miss Brown's production staff. Period detail was carried out intelligently. The costumes were true to the period. The cast was as follows: Nora Helmer Marjorie Chiles Ropkev Ton-aid Helmer. . . . David Clarke Anna Laura Levings Christina Linden Gladys J White Nils Krogstad. . E Iwvn Liverett Dr Frank Neil Firestone Emrr.v Helmer. Margaret Ann Rennoe Ivar Helmer Jack Rennoe The outstanding performance w-as that of Miss Ropkey as Nora. Francis Sonday of the Civic theater reports tremendous advance interest in 'Hedda Gabler.”

Takes Title Role The title role .in the play will be carried by C Mari de Schipper, who has distinguished herself at the Civic in many roles. In the role of Hedda Gabler she has an assignment entirely different from anything she has been seen in at the Playhouse. Mr. Mac Keen will make his first appearance this season in the dual capacity of director-player, portraying in the coming production the role of the middle-aged libertime. Judge Brock. Mary Bogert, long a favorite with Civic audiences, will play the role of Miss Tesman. Marcella Parry in Cast Mrs. Elvsted. the devoted feminine soul who can find happiness only in attaching herself to some man, is portrayed by Marcella Parry. R. Blayne McCurry is cast as the pedant Tesman, Hedda’s husband. Volney Hampton returns to the Civic after completing a course of study in the famed “47 Workshop” under the direction of George Pierce Baker. In “Hedda Gabler" he plays the role of Eilert Lovborg, a temperamental scholar, who is a rival of Tesman’s for a university position. Elizabeth Bogert Schofield completes the cast in the role of Berta, the Tesmans’ maid. Mrs. Schofield has played w-ith the Civic since its inauguration and in this production she plays her tw-enty-seventh role. a a it ‘Little Women’ Again Today. “Little Women" begins its second highly successful week at the Circle. Other theaters today offer: Billy Purl on the stage and “Tillie and Gus,” on the screen at the Lyric: Howard Thurston, on the stage, and “If I Were Free,” on the screen at the Indiana; “Private Detective 62,” at Keith’s; “Streets of Paris," at the Indiana Roof ballroom; “Forgotten Men," at the Ohio; “The Invisible Man,” at. the Apollo; “Should Ladies Behave," at the Palace, and burlesque at the Mutual and Colonial.
