Statue Of Venu*
Waits In Art Halls
For Chance to Rise
Out in the cold, dank, tomjo-like
hallway of the art building, Ven
us De Milo stands wearily wait
ing with all the implacableness of
Portland cement for a chance to
rise and shine. It may be in the
dark depths of the misty Oregon
nights that Venus doubts the pre
cepts of Sunday school pamph
lets and despairs of gracing a
pedestal. Meanwhile she laments
that she is merely a replica of a
famous statute instead of a planet
of equal notoriety. Instead of the
adoring eyes of the world she has
merely those of a few students,
faculty members and a janitor
who unsympathetically rests his
broom upon her armless Bhoulder.
Though she is a complimentary
gift to the University she has ap
parently come under a tempor
ary eclipse.
NO CAPS AND GOWNS
FOR SENIOR PICTURES
Photographs For Oregana
Must Be In At Once
Senior pictures for the Oregana
will not be taken in . caps and
gowns this year, according to an
announcement made by Elizabeth
Cady, editor, last night.
Due to the fact that the matter
was brought to the attention of the
editor so late in the term, photo
graphs cannot be retaken. In ac
cord with the sentiment of members
of the senior class the first of the
term, it was decided to have the
senior pictures taken without the
caps and gowns.
If the Oregana staff had known
that the class favored the usual
type of pictures, arrangements
would have been made, Miss Cady
said. Plans cannot be altered now,
as the pictures must be finished be
fore the end of the term and will
not be accepted after that time.
Students in living organizations
who are to have pictures in the jun
ior, senior or honorary organization
sections are asked to make appoint
ments at the Kennell-Ellis studio
before the end of the term.
All copy and lists of pictures for
the Oregana must be handed to the
editor before the Christmas vaca
tion.
FUNCTION OF REVIEW
TO BE CHANGED SOON
The Commonwealth ’Review, a
quarterly started some ten years
ago for the discussion of leading
shate problems, was taken over
Tuesday to become the organ for
the publication of the literary pro
ductions of the faculties and ad
vanced students in the departments
of economics, political science, and
the schools of education and socio
logy. The change was made by an
agreement between representatives
of the above mentioned depart
ments.
Recent numbers of the Review
have contained installments of Dr.
Warren D. Smith’s Physical and
Economic Geography of Oregon and
Dr. Homer P. Rainey’s discussion
of the School Finance of Oregon.
The new field to be served by the
Review will naturally cause an ex
pansion in size and scope of con
tents, according to a statement is
sued Wednesday by Dean F. G.
Young of the sehool of sociology.
LARGE CROWD ATTENDS DRAMA
OPENING UNDER NEW DIRECTOR
(Editor’s note: Another re
view of the Guild hall plays
will be printed in the Emerald
tomorrow morning in ord^ib to
present different viewpoints of -
the production.)
Rejuvenated Guild hall made its
first appearance before a Univer
sity audience last night. The three
plays, “Monday,” by Alfred Kreym
borg, “Aria Da Capo” by Edna St.
Vincent Millay, and “Riders to the
Sea” by John Millington Synge,
were arranged with a crescendo ef
fect.
The first undoubtedly did not fit
it with the others. Because it was
the first and because the split lines
in which the play is written made
it extremely difficult for amateurs
to do, it was quite unsuccessful
There are so few impressionistic,
imagistic plays that are really
worth producing. After “The Ad
ding Machine,” for instance, “Mon
day” seems wholly ineffective. No
one in the cast was worth mention
ing
Because the characters in “Aria
Da Capo” were so young—and com
pletely unable to forget it—the so
phisticated touch of the play was
somewhat lost. The lines fairly
scintilate in spots, “I have become
a Socialist and love humanity but
I hate people,” and “I have become
a critic and nothing pleases me”
for instance. The role which Ar

tliirds of the entire O. A. C. student
body of more than 3000, a meeting
at which Governor Pierce presided
Oregon’s negative, Herschel Brown
and Jack McGuire, was defeated,
by a unanimous decision. The O.
A. C. affirmative was composed of
Blair Stewart and Harold Ballf.
Record Crowd Attends
Dr. James H. Gilbert, head of the
economic department, introduced the
debaters here to an audience of ap
proximately four hundred students
and townspeople yesterday after
noon With the exception of the
Oxford meet last winter, this crowd
was larger than any previous one
to attend a debate in Eugene.
Ludington for Oregon presented
the issue of China’s stability, in
his opening constructive speech,
claiming that the present trouble
was caused by governmental inter
ference, and should therefore be dis
continued. This was also the es
sence of Blair Stewart’s first issue
for the affirmative at Corvallis.
The teams were remarkably similar
in their method of handling the
question and met on the same issue
at Eugene and Corvallis. The af
firmative side of the question clear
ly had the best of it.

Students “Clear”
Large Profit In
Investment Study
Wall Street Ability Is
Displayed by Girl
Cora Moore, graduate student
in business administration, has
found that “buying” and “sell
ing” on prices quoted on the New
York Stock Exchange is a wholly
profitable business, as is evi
denced by her ability to clear
“$1675.00” this term
Miss Moore, with two other stu
dents who are likewise registered
in the school of business admin
istration, is enrolled in a gradu
ate seminar in which in addition
to a major research problem cov

hour weekly seminar meetings,
the students study current busi
ness conditions as they affect in
1 vestments.
The student is asked to select
two or three business corpora
tions engaged in some kind of
business interesting to him. Then
the history of the companies, the
general current business condi
dition and other factors effecting
the price of the company’s stock
is studied. The “buying” and
“selling” of the stock in these
companies is conducted according
to the prices quoted on the New
York Stock Exchange, the instruc
tor acting as broker.
Manuel Alcid was next to Miss
Moore in clearing the largest pro
fit. Her profit of $592.50, was
made through investments in In
ternational Nickel, Cocoa-Cola,
and General Motors. Carl Yree
land, who made $427.50 on his in
vestments was trading in Fisher

ing been actively connected with
relief work of the Bed Cross for
many years, Mr. Kilpatrick will tell
of actual experiences in complet
ing the reconstruction of devasted
districts after such disasters as the
Astoria Fire and the Pmeblo flood.
Assembly Besume Given
The University’s contact with
the world during the past years
has been not only through the
world of books but through the
entertainment of noted persons in
j many professions and fields of ac
! tlvity.
The frtjzen northlands have been
described; the battlefields of France
has been not only through the
ous generals; the arts, history, geo
graphy and the sciences have be
come more real by the relating of
personal experiences and research
work by such men as Tom Skeyhill,
Canadian poet and war veteran;
Alfred Zimmern, writer, historian,
educator and traveller; Hiram John
son, senator; Carl Sandburg and
Vachel Lindsay, famous poets, all
have spoken at various times at uni
versity assemblies.
Noted Men On List
Bringing to the campus a mes
sage of the advancement of the
colored people, W. E. B. DuBois was
a speaker on the campus in 1922.
DuBois is a negro author and edi
tor. The last survivor of the fam
ous Concord group, Charles 'Wood
bury, appeared before the assembly
on a large number of occasions.
The ministry, too, was represent
ed by such speakers as Rt. Rev.
Walter T. Sumner, Episcopal Bish
op of Oregon; Rabbi Jonah D. Wise,
former member of the Board of
Higher Curricula, and now ;a resi
dent of New York; and Dr. Herman
Swartz, president of the Pacific
School of Religion at Berkeley,
Cal. Dr. Swartz studied social sci
ences in London, Rome, Berlin and
Paris.
Joseph Hall, who writes under
the nom de pliyne of Upton Close,
magazine writer and member of the
University of Washington faculty,
also has been a frequent visitor to
the University.
Professor Oscar Jaszi, Hungarian
sociologist, and formerly liberal
statesman of Karolyi’s cabinet, ban
ished by the Hungarian government
in 1924, was among the prominent
speakers at Oregon that year. Oak
ley G. Kelly, transcontinental flyer;
Aurelia Reinhardt, persident of
Mills College at Oakland, Cal.;
Prank Branch Riley, lecturer; Van
Waters, authority of child welfare,
and other prominent persons have
been among the assembly speakers
of the past.
LIBRARY HAS RECORD DAY
One thousand seventy books were
given out in the English and His
tory reserve library Tuesday, mak
ing it the record day of the term.
This number exceeds the ordinary
rate by more than one hundred
books.
An observer noticed that the
throng of students which crowded
the library was in search of knowl
edge rather than dates, for it did
not disperse until the lights were
flickered for closing time.

Sr. Walter E. ftfeanwell
CAMPUS ORGAN,
LITERARY NEED
High School Teacher Cites
Value Of Expression
SUCCESS DEEMED SURE
Publicity Arouses Energy Of
Authors And Poets
A collcgo magazine is needed by
the University of Oregon is the be
lief of Mrs. George O. Goodall,
alumnus, and English teacher at
the University High School.
“Stanford and Smith and many
other coleges have their own mag
azines, and there is no reason why
Oregon shouldn’t have a simi
one,” Mrs. Goodall said enthus
tically. “Smith’s is very old
so good that it can compote with
commercial magazines.
“I think this proposed magazine
should be a purely literary one, and
of a serious and dignified naturo. In
the Emerald and Oregana there are
humorous articles, and I think they
should be kept exclusively in these
publications.
Material Abundant
“There is an abundance of ma
terial on the campus for such a
magazine. The huge enrollment in
the journalism courses and the in
terest taken in journalistic organi
zation prove that there could not
bo a lack of material. There are
also students of exceptional liter
ary ability whose work would be
subject to adverse" criticism if
printed in the Oregana or Emerald
but would be suitable in a solely
literary magazine.
“The publication would be an
outlet for budding poets, play
wrights, and all authors. Many
writers are doing excellent work,
but are not ready for commercial
izing it yet. The printing of their
work in this magazine would help
them, for publicity is always an
incentive and urge to writers.”
Combination Undesirable
Mrs. Goodall’s opinion is that a
combination of the existing alumni
magazine, Old Oregon, and this one
for undergraduates would n<ot be
so successful as separato maga
zines. “Old Oregon is very enjoy
able and satisfactory to the grad
uates,” she said, “but were it com
bined with one for undergraduates
I do not believe it would then be
satisfactory for either as the in
terest would bo divided. Neither
the active students nor the alumni
would feel that it was really their
magazine as the latter feel about
Old Oregon now.
“A magazine of this sort, high
in character, could be made to pay
financially, I feel sure,” Mrs.
Goodall said. “Many would be
willing to subscribe to a publica
tion as good as I know the Univer
sity could make this one. Also,
the Lane County Credit Associa
tion, which has refused to adver
tise in any other college publica
tions, might reconsider if it found
this magazine of real merit.”
SUMMER GLASS
Mentor Of Wisconsin Team,
Dr. Walter E. Meanwell,
To Come For Two Weeks
Basketball Wizard Is Said
To Rank With Rockne;
Instructs Famous Men
Marking a distinct advance in
the athletic progress of the West,
Dr. Walter E. Meanwell, head bask
etball coach at the University of
Wisconsin and called the “Miracle
Man of Basketball,” will conduct a
coaching school ht the University
next summer, according to an
nouncement by Fred L. Stetson, di
rector of the summer session.
Meanwell is regarded as the out
standing basketball coach in Amer
ica. His record at Wisconsin is
considered one of the marvels of
modern athletics. His teams have
won 165 games and lost only 23;
placed first eight times and were
never below third in their confer
ences in eleven seasons. Thirty
one members of the -allstar team
out of a total of 65 in 13 seasons
have been from Meanwell’s tea

University of Illinois; Williams of
University of Jowa; Lewis, form

now of Wisconsin; Bond, University
of Missouri; Chandler 'of Iowa
State; Tebell of North Carolina.
Coach Former Star
“I guarantee to discuss and to
demonstrate in full, the methods I
employ in my conference seasons,”
Moanwell telegraphed in discussing
the school at Eugene.
Aside from being a former star
player, Dr. Meanwell’s educational
background includes a degree of
doctor of medicine from the Uni
versity of Maryland, a degree of
doctor of public health, from the
University of Wisconsin, a year of
interne work and a year as hospital
pathologist in Maryland General
Hospital, Baltimore.
Dr. Mean well is head and should
ers above every other coach ac
cording to William J. Reinhart, Ore
gon’s basketball mentor, who de
clared the coming of the Wisconsin
man to the University of Oregon
next summer will mean as much
to Pacific coast basketball as
Knute Rockne’s coming meant to
football.
Value In Instruction
“Meanwell’s course of instruc
tion, in addition, will be as valu
abel to the coach of a small school,
having only six or seven men to
select from, as to the coach of a
large school,” Reinhart said.
Though the summer school bask
etball course will last only two
weeks, Meanwell will spend four or
five hours each day with the class,
according to Reinhart.
Dr. Meanwel has won nine cham
pionships in 13 conference seasons,
with 185 games won and 39 lost in
the 13 years.
STUDENTS ASKED TO

Students having three or more
examinations scheduled on one
