Description of O'Neill Play Presents Problem
'Mourning Becomes Electra
Gives Scott Feeling
of Restraint
"My greatest problem in describing and interpreting the play, *Mourning Becomes Electra*, by Eugene O'Neill, is how I have been so stirred and excited at when I saw this most unique trilogy in 1943. The play was authorized on the modern theater and a representative of the New York Theater Guild, in his lecture in Fraser College."
The other drama which had excited him as fully and as deeply was one of the most successful plays in Greece. O'Neill's play, a modern version of the Greek idea of tragedy, is based on the old Greek legends of Electra, Clytemnestra, and Perseus.
"Onell," said Mr. Scott, "wanted to approximate the Greek overhanging sense of fate. He founded this latest edition of *Ancient War* in theism of New England with its sense of sin and punishment, in the period shortly after the Civil war. The idea of compulsion, of an immovable object, of an intransitive force, exists in the play.
"O'Nell has not had the mind to keep space with him. His emotions have gone unhealed. He was always in a different type of outlook. Schopenhauer, but his philosophy is not morbid. No one expresses the same sense of intimately and well as does Eugene O'Nell who when asked why none of his play-had a happy ending said that he loved them."
Mr. Scott gave a synopsis of the triology, telling of the interrelating loves and hates; murders; violent, active action, and of the agony and terror in the heart of the daughter who asks, "Who can't the dead stay dead?" For O'Nell Wheatley, whose fate was a subjective matter, not objective like for the Greeks.
Mr. Scott concluded his lecture by reading selections from plays by Euromairos, and he reacted to the reactions of the author of "Mourning Becomes Electra," while he was making the three drafts of the play, telling of its events with the final achievement of purpose.

The information that has come to me is to the effect that practically all of these K.

Those who have registered students are from cities other than Lawrence, and a great many of them come from other states.
The proper officials will be at each and every prescript next Tuesday, whose duty it

Regarding Student Votes
My attention has been called to the fact that a large number of K. U. students from homes other than Lawrence, and also a large number of Haskell students have recently registered for the purpose of voting at the coming election to be held next Tuesday.
The assessor's records to date, as we are informed, do not show that any of the K. U. or Haskell students registered have listed any personal property for taxation, and further, none of them so far, have manifested any intention to pay poll tax in this city. I cannot believe that any of the K. U. or Haskell students registered, who are not legal residents of Lawrence would perjure themselves to vote at the coming election next Tuesday.
Respectfully submitted.
