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.

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.

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

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.

His Confidence
In Our Policy
A certain well-known business man said to,
us the other day, "I Vike your selling policy;
I can buy from you knowing that you will'
not reduce your price the next day.”
One doesn’t like to spend a certain amount
of money for some article and then pick up
the evening paper and find that the same store
has it “on sale for tomorrow only” at a lower
price.
Surely, it is not fair play.
