The first year is the worst, For most students it is somewhat dif ficult to beeome adjusted to the conditions of college life. Methods of instruction are vastly different from those to which the new stu dent is accustomed. He finds that it is necessary for him to form new habits of study and new habits of living. Often times this change has not been fully accomplished at the end oi; the first year. There are those who have the feeling that a year of college is not a success, and that it would be better after all to drop out and go to work. There are also those who feel that the year has proved that they are unable to share the full advantages of the University. Nearly all of the students of any college have had this feeling at one time or another, and many have succumbed to their discourage ment and given up their desire for higher education. The end of the first year is a crisis, for those who return the following fall will find the second year much easier. They will return, acquainted with conditions and methods, accustomed to surroundings and ready to take more important places. Seriously, the first year is worst. To some, the novelty is enough compensation. To the freshmen—all advice is the same—“Don’t be discouraged.” i - i ; Purification of the Drama For the first time in a score of years a jury has taken upon itself to decide a question on which jurists and critics will probably never agree—“when a play is immoral to the extent that its virtues are outweighed by its vices.” A court in New York has condemned the “God of Vengeance,” for obscenity and for desecration of a religious role. The judge, in commenting upon the verdict, declared that it would have a “wholesome effect upon the theatrical profession,” and that “the time had come when the drama must be purified.” With out disputing the statement of the judge and admitting that the ver dict* was undoubtqdlj’ correct in this particular instance, would not (lie public hostility alone have accomplished the purpose? Press reports stated that the attitude of the house was not at all friendly. When a miscellaneous jury is called upon to judge, the position of the drama is not at all safe. The patrons of the theatre are in a much better position to render an opinion. The effect of allowing public taste to discern has not been a failure—-productions of this nature are usually short-lived. Hugene veterans are to be commended for their efforts to pro mote greater respect for the flag. Patriotism is something which ap plies to everyone. We wonder how many students notice the flag which floats over the administration building! For the information of tin* student body: Oregon has a track team competing at Pullman this week-end. Before it is too late -plan to stay over for the commencement ! MISS HUMPHREYS RESIGNS Will Spend Summer in Kentucky; Plans for Next Year not Definite Miss Mary 11. Humphrey, head of the reference department of the University library, has resigned her position here. As soon as school is out she will go to her home in Louisville, Kentucky, where she will spend the summer visi ting. While her plans for next year are not definitely decided upon, she states that she will spend the year in study, either in Chicago or at some Pa cific coast school. Miss Humphrey has spent two years at Oregon as head of the reference de partment. Jinring the summer sessions she has instructed classes in library methods, classification and cata loging. Mrs. Pearl Watts, at present an employee in the reference depart meat, will be in charge of the depart ment temporarily. "THE MAN FROM GLENGARRY” One of the essential things in a suc cessful motion picture is to have a real story as a basis to work from, lu this very important attribute "The Mau from Glengarry,” which comes to the Rex theatre today takes first rank, as it is based on one of the most popu lar and widely read books that have ever been published Ralph Connor's famous novel of the same name. Adapt ed bv Faith Green and directed by Hen ry McRae it is a faithful reproduction and realistic screen present:* ion of the work of this celebrated author. All the action, thrills and atmosphere of the lumber camps immortalized by Mr. Connor have been embodied in the screen version. Get the Classified Ad habit.

EDUCATION BY RADIO REACHES BIG AUDIENCES Complete Broadcasting Station for the University is Impossible for Lack of Sufficient Funds Ever since the days of Benjamin Franklin, when The eloquent Dr. George Whitefieid charmed enormous crowds of 30,000 people with his loud, clear voice, oratory and public speaking have owned an undisputed field, but with the advent of the radio they have come to hold a far more important position than lias been theirs in recent years. The wide diversity of amusement that is now offered the public has distract ed from this heretofore popular amuse ment, but renewed emphasis and value has been given to public speaking. Education by radio is a new field, and with great success edifying lectures of popular appeal are being delivered to larger audiences than ever a single speaker held in sway. In universities, as at Oregon, the program of education by radio consists of exposition of timely current events by well-informed men, musical pro grams, means of announcing important discoveries to the public in the field of Research and announcement of new courses of popular interest as well as lectures used as supplementary work in correspondence courses. The agri culture colleges of the country are co operating with the government in send ing out weather reports ,erop and mar ket reports. This year through the kindly coop eration of the Oregonian, the Univer sity is able to broadcast from their tower every Friday night for half an hour. Faculty members at this time have delivered talks on current hap penings of national or local interest. The possibility ®f the University; owning a broadcasting station of its own is at present not very possible, as a good outfit with all necessary phar a phenalia set up would cost at least fifteen thousand dollars, and while the value of the set would far outweigh the cost, especially in the future, it is not a very feasible project for the Uni versity to take over just at present, ac cording to Dr. A. E. Caswell, a mem ber of the committee, who is investi gating the project from a scientific standpoint. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED Emelia Burrell, ’25, Makes Known Her Betrothal to Clifford Knodell Small heart-shaped cards in walnuts used as place cards announced the en gagement of Kmflia Burrell and Clif ford Knodell Thursday evening at din ner at Susan Campbell hall. Miss Burrell, a sophomore in the University and a major in the English department, entered this year from Stanford University. Mr. Knodell, ex ’23. is now associated with the Stan dard Oil Co., in Eugene. He is a mem ber of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. “WHY GIRLS LEAVE HOME'’ An elaborate fashion review and some unusual scenes of an unusual cabaret frequented only by the elite are but two of the many high-lights to be seen in “Why Girls Leave Home,” featuring Anna Q. Nillson, and produc ed by Warner Brothers, which will be seen at the Castle Theatre today and I Saturday. The fashion review is staged in a high class department store, and i many beautiful gowns of the latest de | sign are brought to view for the first | time. PETITIONS MUST BE IN Next Monday at -1:15 the last meet ing of the military committee will be held according to word received from [the registrar’s office. Therefore any ex service men having petitions to pre sent for military credit should bring them in before that time. It was-de cided some time ago that owing to the fact that most ex-service men had fin ished school by this time, credit for outside service would be discontinued after this date. DYMENT IS SUBSTITUTE Bean Colin V. Dyment is agaiu teaching in the University. Monday he had a class and again on Friday in Economic Geography. Owing to the fact that Dr. Warren Smith has gone ! to join Dr. A. R. Sweetser, Dean Dy ment has been substituting for him Try Emerald Want Ads HUBERT SCHENCK GETS CALIFORNIA POSITION' Will Teach Paleontology and Carry on Research An unusual position has been offered j Hubert Sehenek, present graduate as sistant in geology, as associate in pal- j eontology at the University of Cali fornia. Mr. Sehenek has sent in his i acceptance of the offer. The position ; will require one half time teaching, j while the other part of his time will be devoted to the continuance of his j research work. Dr. E. L. Packard of the geology de- ; partment stated that this was a con spicious opportunity for Mr. Sehenek. | It is very seldom that a man of his I age and experience has the opportunity j of stepping into a position of honof, such as is being conferred upon Mr.; Sehenek. Mr. Sehenek will carry on the re search work he has been working upon, which is a study of the Oligocene of Oregon. He has worked upon this problem for some time, and has con ducted serious investigations that have been a real contribution in determining the fauna and the age of the geological beds. During the summer, Mr. S<ehenck | will collect fossils in northwestern Oregon and Washington. The Univer sity of California is directing his in vestigations at Gray’s Harbor, Puget Sound and elsewhere. A report on the stratigraphy of the country will be made. J. W. Johnson, senior in the geology department, will accompany Sehenek on his trip. Mr. Sehenek began the study of geol- [ ogy when he was a freshman. He took as his minor subject zoology. Through out his college career, he has trained himself in these subjects and has been able to conduct serious investigations on problems within his field. Both Johnson and Sehenek will spend six weeks in field work this summer, traveling from one district to another in Oregon and Washington. The work will occupy six weeks. The two plan to leave Eugene July 1 and return August 10. At some later date, Mr. Sehenek will leave to begin his work with Dr. Bruce Clarke, professor of paleontology at the University of California. Mr. Sehenek has done field work in the Philippines. Several of his papers j have been published. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa. RADIO EXTENSION TALKS ARE STOPPED TILL FALL Series of Friday Night Lectures from Portland Division Have Beached Many, Believes Kilpatrick The weekly Friday evening lecture broadcasts of the extension division are to be discontinued for the summer months, according to a public state ment of Earl Kilpatrick, director of the extension division, made yester day. “We didn’t intend to stop so soon,” said Kilpatrick, “and our sud den decision to discontinue the work for the summer will be a surprise to the radio fans.” The lecture last Friday evening by W. D. Wheelwright was the last for the season. Starting back with the last Friday in January, the service has eoiitinued regularly for nearly four months. “Timely and popular lectures on almost every phase of a great many modern subjects have bene broad casted,” Kilpatrick said. There have been lectures on the “Near-East,” “The X-ray,” “The Wo man Juror,” “The Law of the Press” and many other such timely topics. “It is not known just exactly how big an audience our lectures reached,” de clared Kilpatrick, “as not many com munications have been received ac knowledging appreciation of the broad j casts. Among the few letters sent in I to the Portland center was a recent letter from the radio department of the University of Minnesota acknowledging the receipt of our broadcasts on the campus of that institution. Several of our transmissions apparently had been received there.” Kilpatrick pointed out j that it was rather surprising to hear ; that transmission for so early in the ! evening had gone so far. In general, Kilpatrick is of the opin ! ion that the radio talks have been suc cessful. “It is a new phase of radio i transmission,” he said, “and it is hard 1 to tell how the radio fans appreciate i this diversion' from the usual musical transmissions.” Next fall it is hoped to | reestablish the service, and perhaps to give regular courses through the ether. COMPANY TO PRESENT THREE ONE-ACT PLAYS A. A. U. W. Sponsors Production of Leper. Sayonara, and Well-Remem bered Voice, June 6, 7 and 8 Three one-act plays will be given by the University Company, under the direction of Fergus Reddie and spon sored by the American Association of University Women, on June 6, 7 and 8, the proceeds to go as the gift of the ■ A A. U. W„ toward the building of a i museum on the campus, it was recently announced by that .group. The three plays differ widely from each other in theme, interest and local j color The first will be “Sayonara,” a vivid study of Japanese life, colorful and tense, written by Fergus Reddie and never as yet produced. The sec ond, “The Leper” an adaption from the story the “Half White” by Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson, was also dramatized by Mr. Reddie, and depicts life in the Hawaiian Islands. Mr. Red die has been singularly successful in his dramatizations as well as his ori ginal. “The Scarlet Pimpernell” coming under the former and “The Raggedy Man” under the latter” classification, being the two most notable of his ef forts presented by the University com pany during the past year. The third of the three one-act series is to be James Barrie’s “Well-Remem bered Voice.” This play varies in mood and location from the other two, and is tinged with that wistful whim sicality that so characterizes the dear est of Barrie’s plays. It deals as also others of his works do with the prob lem of spiritualism. The contemplated museum which is the special dream of the A. A. U. W. is planned to be a collection of Asiatic and Oriental art for which the Murray Warner Art collection will be the nu cleus -r TODAY and SATURDAY "Head Hunters of the South Seas" Martin Johnson’s thrilling adventures among the wild tribes of Malekula.
