UNIVERSITY HIGH CLUB
SELECTS FOUR PLAYS
The University High Dramatics
club has selected four plays for
presentation besides their longer
play “Penrod.” The plays chosen
are “The Travelling Man” (a mir
acle play) by Lady Gregory,
“Spreading the News” by Lady
Gregory, “Helena’s Husband” (a
burlesque on the story of Helen of
Troy), and “The Workhouse Ward.”
The cast for the production of
“Penrod” by Booth Tarkington is
working steadily as the time for
their stage appearance nears, and
a good showing is expected from
them. Miss Margaret Booth, a sen
ior in the University, is coach.

glorious portions of my life and I
confess that I must say that the
romance and the chivalry had not
gone out of warfare at that time.
As for being a success as a soldier,
I hope I may not appear conceited
when I say that I once got a “I”
in military, the only “I” to which
I have ever fallen heir since at
tending the University; and since
you know hpw strict the Military
department is in grading, you will
appreciate how good I really was.
Furthermore, in my frosh year,
I was a corporal. In my squad
were such men as Cordon Wilson,
Price Sullivan, Donald Breakey, and
other well known luminaries. I I
might add that our squad received
more attention than any other in
the entire regiment—or should I
say the army? It’s been so long,
you know—
Well, in my sophomore year they
started admitting the women to the
B. O. T. C. and since I wasn’t in
terested in the fair sex with wea
pons at hand, I dropped into the
back ground, and for all of my sec
ond year filled the office of No.
4 in the rear rank. I might add,
however, that the new officers did
very well, and one time the whole
platoon got through review without
making any mistakes.
My whole point, Mr. Powell and j
bro. officers, is that I am really
qualified to speak on military mat
ters, having had all this experience,
especially in the B. O. T. C., and
hope none of you will make any
more bad breaks by questioning my
military ability.
Yours for treason,

NATION’S NEWSPAPERS
ANALYZED BY EDITOR
Differences between eastern and
western journalism were discussed
by Frank Jenkins, editor of the
Morning Register, at an open meet
ing of Sigma Delta Chi, national
profession journalism fraternity, at
the' Anchorage Tuesday noon. Mr.1
Jenkins noted the more or less defi-!
nito division of the field in New
York among papers catering to vd- j
rious stages of literacy and intelli
gence, as contrasted with the west
ern papers’ general policy of try
ing to reach everybody.
Decline of the editorial page from
its former position of eminence was
charged to several factors, a cer
tain deterioration in quality due to
publishers’ taking it less serious
ly, an unwillingness of a consider
able part of the reading public to
think at all, and a disposition on
the part of many of the others to
think for themselves, without guid
ance from editorial writers.
Mr. Jenkins returned this week
from a month’s business trip to the
east, during which he visited many
states of the east and south. His
observation of the newspapers he
read closely while away, confirmed
him in his belief, he said, that the
New York Times is the greatest
newspaper in the world. North
west newspapers in general, how
ever, ho rates higher than those
of any other region.

“There are fivo things necessary

“You must prove that the acti
vities are the best you can pro
duce. If you expect public support
for any of your activities you must
give it ihe best you have.”
Dr. Dan E. Clark, secretary of
the stato debating league, in a
brief address urged the represen
tatives of the high schools to carry
back to their organizations the plea
that debate be recognized and that
all schools become members of the
league.
Debate Encouragement Urged
“Debate in the High School” was
the subject of an address by Nor
man C. Thorne, assistant superin
tendent of schools, Portland.
“I think debate should be as
much of an activity in high school
as much as football, basketball or
baseball,” he said. “Debato offers
the opportunity to ‘break out’
mentally. Debate may be a hobby
which will afterwards add to a per
son’s life when he gets out into
the world. It offers a girl or boy
the opportunity to do his best.”
Walter Malcolm, president of the
Associated Students of the Univer
sity of Oregon, gave a short ad
dress on “Leadership for all.” “Is
it to our advantage to be inter
fSiraracmnnmnnrrianranciinramcinrrirafnr
ested in school activities?” ho ask
ed. “The facts show that it is.”
“It gives one a chance to associ
ate with other people and it gives
one physical, managerial, or busi
ness development, depending upon
the activity ho is engaged in. The
great difficulty, he said, is for the
students to find time £or these
activities.”
Nominating Committees Named
Avery Thompson, president of
the student body officers asoeia
tion, and acting chairman of the
meeting, appointed a nominations
and a resolutions committeo which
will give their reports at the meet
ing this morning. Those on tho
committees are as follows: Nomina

All the brawn of all the workers of the world would fait to supply the power
needed for our construction and production requirements. Modern civilization
is based on cheap power readily applied to tasks of all kinds.
Machinery works: Man thinks*
In most long-established
industries the General
Electric Company ha3
brought about important
changesmakingfor better
products with minimum
human labor arrd expense.
And in many new indus
tries the G-E engineers
have played a prominent
part from the very begin
ning.
A new series of G-E adver

According to college tests, man develops one-eighth
horsepower for short periods and one-twentieth in
steady work. As a craftsman—a worker who uses
brains—he is well worth his daily wage. But as a
common laborer, matching brawn against motor
ized power, he is an expensive luxury.
With a fifty-horsepower motor, for instance, one
man can do the work of 400 common laborers. He
is paid far more for his brains than his brawn.
The great need of this and future generations is
for men who can plan and direct. There is ample
motorized machinery for all requirements of pro
duction and construction. But motorized machinery,
no matter how ingenious, can never plan for
itself.
And that is precisely where the college man comes
in. Highly trained brains are needed more and
more to think, plan, and direct tasks for the
never-ending application of brawn-saving elec
tricity.
