AIDS TO SUCCESS TOBERADIOTOPIC Franklin Folts to Broadcast Message from Portland Station Friday Night “Salting it Down,” is the title of a lecture which Prof. Franklin E. Folts of the school of business administration will broadcast from the Portland tower on Friday evening. “Success and Failure,” says Mr. Folts, “are the two unpardonable sins in this world. Those who succeed can not forgive the other fellow for being a failure and those who fail cannot for give the successful fellow for being a success.” Mr. Folts takes as an illustration a familiar advertisement in which a huge city is pictured, and behind towers a mighty snow-covered mountain. “Snow on the mountain means power in the Valley,” is the inscription on the picture. “What is the secret of Suc cess? he asks, and quotes from James J. Hill, who says “If you want to know whether you are destined to be a suc cess of a failure in life you can easily find out. The test is simple and infal liable. Are you able to save money? “The most of us cannot lay our fail ure to get ahead, to lack of earning power,” he continues. “The United States is the ■wealthiest nation in the world. We have the largest individual incomes. We receive the highest wages. The reason we do not save is to be found in the almost total disregard for our dollars after we have earned them. We pay little attention to what becomes of our pay envelope, bui busy ourselves with the problem of getting another and fatter one. “To fail, all that is necessary is to drift,” says Mr. Folts. “To succeed, you have to do two things. First, plan your expenditures so that they will be a little less than your earnings, and second, put your savings to work and let them work for you.” “Remember that the power which a snow-clad mountain brings, comes sim ply through accumulation, and the wise use of this accumulation.” MISS HAIR BACK FROM SOUTHERN OREGON TRIP Conferences Held with Correspondence Students; Possibilities of Extension Division Discussed in Ashland Miss Mozelle Hair, of the extension division, returned Saturday from a trip to southern Oregon where she had con ference with correspondence students and attended some women’s clubs meetings. While in Ashland, Miss Hair was in touch with the president and some of the members of a study club and they talked over the possibilities of corres pondence study for next year. Miss Hair also attended a luncheon in honor of the president of Ashland’s civic club, which was held in the new club house, said to be one of the finest club houses for women in the state. In Medford, Miss Hair had confer ences with some of the officers of the Medford College club and talked over the possibility of organizing a branch of the University women’s association there. In Grants Pass, a luncheon was held by the correspondence students and col lege club with a view to organizing a branch of the University Women’s Association. Miss Hair also spoke to a number of persons interested in cor respondence study and thinks several will enroll in the work. Miss Hair attended the annual meet ing of the Federation of Women’s Clubs at Talent, at which approximate ly 200 delegates and visitors were pres ent. DOOM OF FRATERNITIES PREDICTED BY WRITER (Continued from page one) since their members can rectify the crude tendencies of their brothers, writes Dean Clark. But Gundelfinger points out another para graph written by the same author which discredits the former in his esti mation. “I have gone to fraternities to dinner only to find that the man who had in vited me was dining elsewhere,” reads the attack. Fraternity men overlook the rights of others is another criticism. Bureau drawers are rifled and studs used with out notice to the owner. “Is it virtue to make unselfish sac rifices and lend freely to the other fel low when it transforms him into a reckless and slovenly parasite?” de mands the irate author. In accusing the fraternity men of dishonesty, Gundelfinger quotes from Clarke “that proportionately greater fraternity men are caught in dishonest acts and in financial irregularity.” Cheating and commissary mismanage ment are scored as being examples of “high ideals.” Scholarship, so one would judge from Clark’s comment in “Banta’s Greek Exchange” is low. “Seventy-five per cent of the men, as I see them now, in the active houses of the fraternities, are indifferent to the real purposes of the fraternities or ignorant of them. They have little in terest in books or study,” reads one of the quotations. Immorality and extravagance are charges against the letter organizations. An additional clipping is pasted in the pamphlet quoting from a “reputable physician” who found an appaling amount of disease among the under graduates of a certain fraternity. All fraternities are then condemned. Letter organizations are advanta geous only to the weak, inferior man or the average man, is Gundelfinger’s the-1 ory. The strong, self-reliant type does not need goading on to the winning of a goal. Unfairness and discrimination exists after graduation for the independent man. Gundelfinger maintains “if two men are candidates for the same posi tion, the Greek, just because he is a member of a national fraternity of in fluence, will frequently be given pre ference even though the indpendent has more character and ability.” Gundelfinger predicts that his alma mater, Yale University, will lead in abolishing fraternities. His plan would be to divide the student body into changeable rather than hereditary clubs “for the purpose of debate or intra-mural athletics, but not for so cial isolation.” j W. S. C.

Lee and J. J. Shu bert to cancel an engagement scheduled for a California city and book the show 1 in Eugene. It is the attraction at the j Heilig Theatre on Wednesday, May 23. VIOLA DANA AT REX An extraordinary bathing suit is ; shown by Viola Dana in her new pic ture, “Crinoline and Romance,” now at j the Rex theatre. It was a secret, and the little star had bribed every member 1 of the company to help her keep it. | “For one part of the picture I wear a regular, up-to-date one piece bathing suit,” she added. “It is one of those I brief affairs that are fine for swim ming but no protection against sun burn. Drowsy Reporter Dreams Of Senior Flunk-Day Joys Scribe Believes Faculty Members Are Human When Dealing with Departing Students; Dean Straub Commends Class By Senior Sleuth Correspondents for metropolitan pa pers* rewrite men on local dailies and gullible students are warned not to give too much credence to the following story, for it is obviously the dream of a re porter captivated by the cosmic urge, so dominant when fleecy clouds drift across vernal skies. Once upon a time a group of several hundred students—seniors who realized that their four years of fellowship in a state university would in a few short weeks be encairned in memory books— decided to stage a “flunk day”; but the wise men of the group gathered themself in secret conclave and delivered an ulti matum to their followers saying that such a thing could not come to pass for many and varied reasons: Other classes would decide that they rated a flunk day; the faculty would give double cuts in class work; people of the state would react unfavorably to the action of the sedate seniors. But lo and behold! seniors who were wise in the ways of man rent asunder the ultimatum and mounted the rostrum, giv ing vent to weighty argument: “Listen unto sound advice, ye mem bers of the class of ’23,” orated the psychologic seniors. “Other classes can not follow our example because in their case such action would be uncalled for: We are members of a class which in six short weeks will be dispersed to the four winds, many never to meet again. We have a social right to break regulations in this instance so that bonds of friend ship may be cemented more solidly through mutual misdeed. “And ye who hold that the faculty will be off us for life know not the psychology of the powers that be. We are members of a group which will soon leave the University—men and women who will carry the name of our alma mater afar. Dare the faculty treat us as freshmen, sophomore, juniors, know ing that adverse action will give rise to adverse attitude? “And ye who maintain that facutlv members are on one side of an ever widening crevasse and students on the other, listen unto this: We will hold our flunk day picnic on the shores of the McKenzie near Coburg bridge. In the evening when the westering sun pinks the dome of Old Baldy, Dean Dyment, Dean Edgington, and Dean Straub will join our group. And I assert unto you that Dean Straub will seat himself at the foot of a towering maple tree, cof fee in one hand and paper dish in the other and will repeat twice in a loud voice: ‘ This senior class is the largest and best in the history of the University.’ “And after an eventful day of ball games, hikes, card playing, varied pas time—when the sun has dipped behind the coast range and the summer constel lations move westward over the zodical trail, all members of the class will gather in the open-air pavilion near Coburg bridge and trip the light fantastic to the syncopation generated by one of the best orchestras in Eugene. “And lo! I say unto you, after all these things come to pass,- the special train of-three cars—the same special that will take us out in the early morning —will whistle shrilly—the end of a per fect day and the end of senior cam araderie.” —And they say that dreams do some times come true. GEOLOGY IN PHILIPPINES DISCUSSED IN LECTURE Dr. Warren Smith Gives Illustrated Talk before Monthly Meeting of Science Club Members The geology of the Philippines and some of the special geological problems were discussed by Dr. Warren D. Smith in his talk on the “Stragetie Position of the Philippines in Pacific Geology,” before the Science club’s meeting in Deady hall last night. The talk was illustrated by slides, charts, diagrams and pictures of primitive people. It was taken largely from Mr. Smith’s own research work, though it included work of other geologsts. The Philippines are one of the most critical points in the world’s geology as is the Carribean region near Cuba. The reason that the Philippines are a critical point is that there the Pacific arc with its north-south mountains is joined by the great east-rvest features of the earth along the southern part of Asia. Dr. Smith finished with some of the human problems which arise from the geological conditions. He discussed earthquakes, engineering problems, bio logical problems and some problems re lating to the distribution of plants and animals including the distribution of primitive man. He referred briefly to the relation of the ice-age to the Phil ippines. He said that there seemed no apparent relation between these two but there really was a strong one. An interesting human problem was the “deployment” of the Negritos, a race which is related to the pigmy tribe of Central Africa; “an interesting prob lem,” he said, “that cannot be solved without a fundamental knowledge of the geoligal history of that region.” Preceding the talk a dinner was given at the Anchorage. The club is composed of the faculty of the science depart ments and a few advanced students.

JACK HOLT AT CASTLE In what is easily the most thrilling picture of his career as a Paramount star, Jack Holt will make hundreds of new friends when they see him in “The Tiger’s Claw,” a new Paramount picture starting at the Castle theatre today. Not only is the conflict of a man’s love fighting against his duty a big part of the story but there are innumerable thrills uncommon to mo tion pictures. Among these are the fight with the tiger, a leap on horse back, over a deep gulch, the dynamiting of the dam and others. Eva Novak, who played opposite Mr. Holt in “Mak ing a Man,” plays the feminine lead. THE MOST.
