Kimball Young Analyzes Hymns For Psychology Professor in University Contributes Article To Magazine Simplicity, Plain Phrasing In all Church Songs The simple obvious themes, child like expressions and repetitions, coupled with the emotional arousal from the musical accompaniment, are the outstanding characteristics of hymns, as given by Kimball Young, professor of psychology and sociology in his article on “The Psychology of Hymns,” recently published in the Journal of Abnor mal and Social Psychology. Music aids Spiritual Growth “In the actual singing of hymns in a group,” Mr. Young says, “there is much shoulder to shoulder move ment, swaying of bodies in unison with the music, much of the crowd situation from which an intense re ligious expression is born.” Be ligion furnishes us, as do art and invention, for that matter, oppor tunity for integration of personality trends; emotions and instinctive drives which might otherwise be left ragged and loose in one’s de velopment.” “Boligion affords one a means of taking up much emotional slack,” Mr. Young adds later in his article, “which otherwise might find its outlet in anti-social conduct or, per haps neurosis.” 1 Subjects of Hymns Described The musical accompaniment and the word content and meaning, are the two features of the use of hymns which Mr. Young has found evident. In order to discover the content of typical Protestant hymns, nearly 3000 were examined and classified. In these hymns, the simplicity, plain phrasing, and fre quent repetition of keynotes, were noticed. Nearly all of them dealt with the sinner in the presence of God, the contrast of wickedness and righteousness, the devil and his temptations, and the repentant and his social relationships. Attitudes Shown “Throughout all these hymns,” Mr. Young concludes the article, “an examination of their content reveals a number of different atti tudes exposed. The majority, 57 per cent, deal with infantile return, meaning tho belief in the return to God, and future reward 16 per cent are concerned with sinfulness and attendant redemption and purifi cation. Exaltation, associated with contemplated futures and redemp tion, is found in eight per cent, comparable distribution of strugglo and inferiority foelings in about seven and eight per coat of them.” Maddox (Continued from page one) are those who believe that Franco should follow suit. # » » Hut at what expensef Instead of tho responsible rule of a majority, there is substituted the irrosponsi ble rule of a single man, who, drunk with the excess of power, makes an easy transition -to the despot. The absolute subjection of the in dividual to the state, and this the will of a single man, is a condition which we do not contemplate with equanimity. Such a recourse is a tacit admission of the failure of the parliamentary system under the gruelling demands of highly-com plex political organization, and it, moreover, strikes a staggering blow at the roots of democracy. When we consider in addition the Tjnited States, once the bulwark of per sonal freedom, being turned . by law-making, crusading fiends into a place where all individual con duct is standardized into a dull and colorless uniformity, then we indeed must breathe a prayer for what seems to be the logical conclusion of democracy even when it does muddle through. # # * Liberty and democracy — two words much misused, frequently de graded into shibboleths, too often uncritically accepted as the dogmas of politics—are yet each connota tive of a very real and vital neces sity to good life in a society. They are inseparable—the one is but the socialization of the other. The fight to retain them in this highly organized and extremely sensitive industrial age, in these days of dol lar-worship and mediocrity-deifica tion becomes increasingly severe and although our political ideas may need some readjustments, it would be unspeakable folly to de stroy the gTain in order to save the chaff. Banquet (Continued from page one) is received. However, true team work is what each center strives for. Ellean Fargher, as running center, showed how forwards and guards are united by the co-opera tion of the running center. Although the forward is superior to the other members of the basket ball team, according to Esther Har dy, who represented the forward, she is only the means to an end. Toam work is the real aim. Miss Butler Portrays Guard Arlene Butler drew an analogy between the guard and a pair of suspenders. There are two on each side. Each is dependent on the other. If ono falls down the other doesn’t work to its highest effici-! ency, and in the moment of sus pense the question is whother it won’t hold or it will, stated Miss Butler. Miss Florence Alden, professor of the physical education department, offered a toast to all of the first team members who were present, sml to all the second, third, fourth, uid other team members who came out and played with just as much spirit and good fellowship through out the season.

This will be necessary. Bangs’ Riding Academy i Dr. H.R. Taylor Gives Stanford Entrance Exam Oregon Students Desire to Attend Southern University i Dr. H. E. Taylor of the psychol ogy department gave the Stanford | University psychological entrance examinations to 31 people, at Lin ; coin High School, in Portland, March 1. Stanford limits its num ber of undergraduate students, and part of the method of selection is the taking of psychological examin ations. To spare the expense of the prospective student going down to Palo Alto, and then possibly being barred from the southen institution, these entrance examinations Ipre given in a largo number of centers. There are two of thejc centers in Oregon, Eugene and Portland. Most of those who took the ex aminations were Portland high school students, but there were sev eral high school students from out of town. Two from the University of Oregon, several from Eeed col lege, and one from the University of Washington took the test. There were a few more girls who took the test, than boys, in spite of the fact that it. is more difficult for a girl to enter Stanford than for a boy. The Thorndike college entrance examination for high school gradu ates was the examination given. It consists of three main parts, pre ceded by a 15-minute practice ex ercise, which gives the person tak ing the test an idea of what is ex pected of him in the succeeding tests. Dr. Taylor said that the first part comprises nine tests, 45 minutes of working time being allowed. The second part consists of eight tests, and 50 minutes of working time is allotted. The third and last part consists of six tests for which one hour is allowed. “Almost three times as many at tempts to sample the different ca pacities of an individual are made in the Thorndike test as in the tests riven to freshmen at the University >f Oregon,” said Dr. Taylor. “Some >f the Thorndike tests are shorter than those used here, and thus, all ire not so thorough. The actual :esting time is almost twice as long is the time given here. Thus our freshman test • makes a somewhat fuller sample of the capacities it Iocs measure, since the Thorndike nvolves not quite twice as much vorking time. “The Thorndike is probably the nost difficult of any of the examin itions commonly given for college i intrance; and it also is the most •arefully standardized and reliable instrument for that purpose. The chief defects are the cost of the blanks themselves, the high cost of scoring so many tests, and many are difficult to score, and the long time taken to give the examination.” f Physical Education Department to Give Exhibition Friday The exhibition of work done in the physical education department during the last two terms which will be given at eight o’clock Friday, March 12, will be the first demon i stration given since the old type of igymnasium work was abandoned. Several numbers will be presented, but they are all short and the pro gram will be over before ten p. m. No seats are reserved, and everyone is welcome. The program will open with the entrance march of all classes. Over (100 girls will take part in this. Af ter this a representative gymnasi um lesson will be given by the fresh men and sophomore major students. Folk dancing will be done by a large group of sophomores. Stu dents taking individual gymnasium, work will demonstrate their type of class work and sophomores who elected interpretative dancing will show the fundamentals of dancing and present their original dance problems. Because of the great interest shown this term, fencing will be demonstrated for the first time since it has been taught in the women’s department. Sophomore students will demon strate clogging, followed by “The Georgian Male Quartet,” another clog dance given by four senior major students. Fifty freshmen and 50 sopho mores will demonstrate proficiency tests, senior majors will give an In dian club drill, freshmen majors will do an English sword dance, and junior majors will give a valse and do various feats on the apparatus. Several hundred freshmen will take part in the simple mass games. The freshmen and junior first basketball teams will close the ex hibition with a basketball game.
