FACULTY GROUP Mutual Interest Problems Will be Discussed DECOU HEADS CHAPTER Local Branch to Consider Teaching of Science The quarterly meeting of the American association of University professors on the campus will be held Monday evening, February 18, at <1 o’clock at the Anchorage. The local chapter of the organiza tion now has forty-seven members of the faculty of the University who hold one meeting each term to dis cuss problems of mutual interest from a national as well as local standpoint. Professor E. E. DeCou, head of the mathematics department, is president of the University chap ter this year and Ur. A. E. Caswell, bf the physics department, is secre tary-treasurer. main Topic unosen The main topic for discussion at this meeting will concern the teach ing of science in universities and par ticularly the teaching of evolution. The latter point has aroused so much controversy recently due to the at tacks of W. .T. Bryan and some re ligious sects throughout the country that this discussion promises to he full of interesting arguments. Dr. H. B. Yocum of the zoology depart ment, will lead the discussion. Another phase of the toaching of science to he brought up is that of the duty of teachers in popularizing science in order that the layman may understand its application. The aim of the association is to give members of the department a medium for discussion of mutual prob lems and protection of the entire profession. Members aro elected to the national association only after their applications aro recommended by the chapter in the university to which they belong and passed upon by a general committee of the na tional organization. Many Questions Discussed The question of a sabbatical year or leave of absence for professors at "ted intervals with pay, academic freedom, the advisability of a gen eral compulsory course in social sci ences giving a survov of ibis field to broaden student education and the advisability of a course in general science in the University, and similar problems aro matters which the local chapter discusses during the year and at times recommendations to the board of regents of the University are made concerning professors nnd their connection with the institution. Membership is restricted to those who hold Hie rank of professor in insti tutions of higher learning. Both women and men are eligible.

GOETTLING GIVES TALK BEFORE SPANISH CLUB Professor Says Indefinite Terms in Japanese Tongue Make it Difficult to Learn The peculiarities of the Japanese language, its difficulties for for eigners, and a comparison of that tongue with the European and espe cially the Spanish languages, formed | the basis of the talk given by Prof, i Will Goettling, of the school of I business administration, before the members of the Spanish club at the regular meeting held Wednes day evening. Professor Goettling spent a year in Spain and six years in Asia, and was able to give an interesting j account of his study of the respec tive languages. The Japanese, he pointed out, deal in generalities, as against the more specific terms of the Europeans, and find it hard to express them selves definitely. This factor also makes it hard for foreigners to learn tlie language. On a blackboard, he demonstrated some of the characters that are found in tho Japanese alphabet. For the most part, they are based on a sort of sign language, long words being made up of many simple fig ures. The symbol for happiness is a figuro representing tho word for woman, with tho picture of a roof over her head. Figures of two women with ono roof over their head form their way of expressing tho meaning of unhappiness. The only word that ho knew to be of Spanish origin in the Japan ese language is “pan,” the word for bread in Spain. This the Japan ese have adopted. REX An idea of the enormity of the cathedral set built for the wedding scene in Mary Pickford’s new United Artists production, “Rosita,” now showing at the Rex theater, may be gleaned from the fact that it took Miss Pickford one minute and 40 seconds to walk from the camera lines to the chancel. This scene is one of the most im portant in the production and had to bo carefully rehearsed a number of times, owing to the fact that Miss Pickford had to bo blind folded during the actual taking of the scene. An entire morning, from S o’clock until 111:110, was the time necessary for the taking of this one scene. The number of times Miss Pickford was required to walk through the cathedral for rehearsals, then the actual taking of the scene five times to make five negatives which are necessary oil all Mary Pickford productions, almost exhausted her strength, still she insisted on con tinuing with further scenes after much-needed rest obtained during the lunch hour. HOWARD COLLEGE BAND IS AWARDED SWEATERS Howard College—The members of the baud of Howard college, Ala bama, have been awarded sweaters by the alumni association for their services at the football games last fall.

Christen sen, debate coach of the Eugene high school. Coach Is New The women's'teams were coached by Gerrit Demmink, instructor in the written and spoken English de partment, and much of the success of the two teams , is attributed to him. ' This is his first year a.s Ore gon coach. Mildred Bateman and Margaret Woodson, are experienced debaters, having taken part in other varsity contests. They debated to gether on the campus last spring l when they took the affirmative against the University of Wash ington on the subject, “Resolved, that Congress should enact uniform federal divorce laws.” They were winners in this contest also. Dorothy Abbott was a member of the Delta Zeta team, which won the Zeta Kappa Psi cup in the doughnut series this year. Mildred Whitcomb helped win the Zeta Kappa Psi cup for Susan Campbell hall a year ago. Following tilie contest, Zeta Kap>pa Psi, a national women’s forensic fraternity, held a reception in Alumni hall in honor of the visiting debaters and the home team. French Are Aggressive Mildred Whitcomb and Mildred Bateman, ■ the Oregon affirmative team, won their two to one decision over the O. A. C. negative team, Belva Beebe and Wilma Dobell, by contending that the occupation of the Ruhr by the French was unjust, that it had proven a failure so far, and that the real reason which prompted France to take this stran gle hold on Germany was not to secure reparations but to effect the dismemberment of the German na-i tion. The negative contended that j Germany was able to pay the $33,- : 000,000,000- demanded of her by the j reparations commission, that the oc- i cupation of the Ruhr was proving ; successful, and that Germany was j morally obliged to pay for the dam age done during the war. KEN DEBATERS WIN STATE FORENSIC MEET Immediate Evacuation of Ruhr Is Advocated (Continued from page one) off the German reparations. After pointing out that $111.00 per eapita meant $52.00 each year for each family, she went on to show that the average income of a family in Germany was estimated at $225.00. Thus, a tax of $52 for each head of a family would mean a tax of one-fourth of the average family income. This would mean an im possible burden for the German peo ple, she contended. Rosson Lauds Debaters Speaking of the debate after it. was over last night, Professor Ros son said: “Miss Bateman performed the j most finished rebuttal work I have ever seen. This debate was the most exciting and keenly fought contest of the year.” The contention that the occupa tion of the Ruhr by France was un just and had already proved a fail ure was upheld by Mildred Whit comb in the leading speech of the affirmative. Her presentation of the subject was regarded as clear and forceful and brought forth much favorable comment at. the close of the debate. Mr. Rosson declared th\t she was an excellent teammato for Miss'Bateman. Paul Patterson, former varsity debater, declared that the work done by Miss Bateman was re markable, especially in her rebuttal. It was declared both good speaking and clear thinking. The judges of the debate held here were: George P. Cheney, presi dent of the State Press association. French Plan Wins Mildred Whitcomb declared in opening the argument, that there i were two settlements of the repara- I tions difficulty offered at the Peace conference: first, a settlement based! on President Wilson’s 14 points, and second, Clemeneeau’s settle ment, based on the problem between France and Germany. It was this French settlement which finally j won out, she declared, and as a re- j suit, an indemnity was placed on Germany which was so large that j she could not pay it without bring- i ing economic ruin upon herself. “There are three ways in which Germany may pay reparations,”. 3he ' said. “They are: first, by gold, | second, by labor; and third, by means of trade and commerce. There i is not enough gold in Germany to i make the gold method possible, the | Frenc-h will not allow the Germans j to enter the devastated French areas to work, although they have invited in other foreign laborers, and the exports of the defeated nation are not sufficient to meet the j debt. Germany has already paid $3,800,000,000; three times the amount Bismarck demanded in 1871. Germans Default Payment “That Germany defaulted, we do not deny. In order to prevent complete economic ruin, she had to default, and any nation would have made the same struggle. The only people who can make the Bulir pay are the Germans, and they will not do so while the French occupy this great industrial center. France must decide between a ruined Ger many without reparations, or a pros perous Germany with reparations.” Belva Beebe, the first negative J speaker, declared emphatically,! “Germany could have paid her debt ! up to 1928 with what she has paid j in carrying out her policy of pas- 1 sive resistance. The capital of Ger many is invested in foreign coun tries in order that she may make a fraudulent show of insolvency. She has steadfastly refused to tax Don’t make her “hint”—take her to see MARY PICKFORD P& The REX in “ROSITA” her large industries. The German reparations are only $2,000,000 more than the national debt of Great Britain, and they are very much smaller than the debt of France. Ruhr Occupation Fails ° “The occupation of the Ruhr is successful. France, instead of try ing to° starve the people of the Ruhr, is helping to feed them. Industry is rapidly increasing, occupation has forced France and Germany to gether, giving rise to the hope of an early settlement. If France should immediately evacuate the Ruhr it would be as great a defeat as though she had lost the war.” Mildred Bateman, in the next speech, declared -that. France did not expect Germany to pay the reparations, that she knew that Ger many could not pay. “Her primary purpose,” the debater declared, “was dismemberment of the Ger man empire, and its reduction to subjection. France in history has i in the main been the aggressor. Consider the suffering brought upon Germany in the 30 Years’ war.' France under Richilieu had spared1 nothing to crush Germany. Napo leon carried on the conquest of Ger many ruthlessly. Ruhr Is Prosperous “Alsace-Lorraine originally be longed to Germany. Did not Ger many have some right in taking these provinces at the close of the Franco-Prussian war, when they had belonged to her for 700 years before i France had them? “The Ruhr program is simply aj step in the French plan for the I supremacy of French arms through | the breaking up of Germany-.” “If France is to pay her debts she must collect from Germany,” declared Wilma Dobell. Force is a necessary stimulant for German pay-ments. Should evacuation be made immediate-1 ly, the communists of Russia would join forces with the German Com munists in a revolution that would shake the world. Germany is today more prosperous than the other na tions. “Germany is spending millions for war preparations providing arms and ammunition in secret. She has mil lions to spend for armament but not one cent for reparations.” There was a small audience of stu dents and townspeople in Villard hall to hear the debate.
