Luke S. May Will
Speak on Crime
To Law Classes
Noted Criminologist to
Give Six Lectures
Here Shortly
Speaker Experienced in
Criminal Procedure
Murders, robberies and holdujps
are but a matter of routine to Luke
S. May, noted Seattle criminologist
who is to speak to the law and
sociology students on the campus
February 14, 15 and 16.
The appearnce of Mr. May is
through the arrangement of Dean
Hale of the law school. During the
time he is in Eugene he will deliver
six addresses, some on his experi
ences while others will be on more
technical subjects. He will give an
address at a banquet of Western
Oregon peace officers who aro to
meet in the city for a convention
February 14.
Mr. Mays record as a criminolo
gist is one that has few equals. He
is president of the “Northwestern
Association of Peace Officers,’’
president of the “Northwestern
College of Criminology’’ and presi
dent of the “Revelarc Internation
al Secret Service.’’
Worked on Do Autremont Case
Among the larger cases that Mr.
May has handled in recent years
are the Siskiyou holdup, Coveil
murder case and the research work
in the Gaines trial. In the case of
the Siskiyou holdup, Mr. May put
together evidence that gradually
linked the names of the Do Autre
mont brothers with the murders.
Although as yet unapprehended, ho
has directed one of the greatest
known searches for them.
Mr. May illustrates his lectures
and it is planned to have him speak
in Villard hall, where all interest
ed can attend.
He is a good speaker and holds
his audiences’ attention easily. Ho
is described as a medium sized man
of dark complexion, with keen fea
tures and a high forehead. Although
he impresses his audiences with his
versatility, ho gives for the most
part the air of an alert business man,
according to Dean Hale, who highly
recommends him.

Abuses Prevalent Among
American Students Pointed
Out at Milwakee Conference
| (Editor’s Note: Following is the
: fourth of a series of four articles
on the findings of the committee
| which attended the National Stu
dent Conference at Milwaukee, Wis.,
during the vacation.)
By PAULINE STEWART
“Can we shut our eyes to religion
and still be knowing—scientific!”
j This challenge was issued by Dr.
!A. Bruce Curry, internationally
known figure and conference leader,
;in addressing the large group at the
recent Milwaukee National Student
(Conference, the theme of which was
j“What Resources has Jesus for Life
I in Our World!”
In developing this theme, an earn
est endeavor was made to secure
correlations between the Christian
way of life and our modern world—
I to make it practical to all, definite
world-wide, nation-wide and campus
wide problems were discussed, and
it is with the latter campus-wide
problems that this article will be
concerned.
Regarding Dr. Bruce Curry’s
challenge, stated above—does it not
bear a bit of careful observation!
Are college people, having learned
their scientific fundamentals, shut
ting their eyes—prejudicing them
selves against religion, as one of
the speakers at the convention de
finitely charged!
“Of course we must be broad
minded about the thing.” This state
ment is one of the most frequently
used serious observations which col
lege people indulge in today. The
accusation that he is radical, old
fashioned, flippant, or slow, may not
even worry tho collegiate, but ac
cuse him of being narrow minded
and a quick explanation will be de
manded.
Hence wo strike a tender spot in
collegiate make-up when we ask such
questions as: Can we be broad
minded and deny the existence of
religion; and scoff at Christianity
without first studying and evaluat
ing it ourselves! Can we afford to
take a second hand acceptance or
rejection of such a thing?
Specifically—what are some of the
abuses which exist on American
campuses? For one thing—indiffer
ence, and even ignorance, on the
part of many of the students in
regard to political, racial, social,
and economic, problems off our own
campuses. More frequent visits to
our magazine, 'book and newspaper
sources in student libraries would
help cure this. It is doubtful if
Oregon could be classed higher than
the average American College in
this regard. It is to be regretted
that we must acknowledge the sup
eriority of our European and Orient
al collegiate cousins who are vitally
interested in affairs of the day and
keep well informed, while the Amer
ican students trod on blissfully ig
norant of any newspapers other
than their own college publication—
content that interest in public af
fairs be stimulated in the indefinite
sometime when they will get out of
school.
We hear so much about the arti
ficiality of college life. Someone
says, “Why not have a good time
while we are here? This place is too
superficial to merit our serious con
siderations,” or, “Yes, I know those
things aren’t right, but I’ll do dif
ferently when I get out of college.”
We have all heard about the woman
who married the man to reform him
—and of her success.
There are dozens of other cam
pus problems I might mention, which
were recognized at the conference,
such as over-organization, merits j
and demerits of fraternities, dem-)
ocratic spirit (is it dying out?) and :
the fact that there is too much haste
in our college life of today. Many |
other problems, no doubt, occurred i
to the other delegates, as each had!
a different reaction.
Campus problems are vital, so why j
should we put them off trying to I
solve them in the indefinite future?
This was the general attitude of
the delegation and it was one of
the most optimistic notes in the
conference, a current magazine has
observed in reporting it—the evi
dent feeling that the improvements
are not to be attempted sometime in
the future but now.
The Seven Seers has observed
that it is now the open season for
the annual investigation of aca
demic ills—Why not add “student”
ills and see whether we haven’t a
few faults ourselves along with the
general curriculum, faculty, and ad- j
ministration?

Dr. Reinhardt Comes
To Campus Saturday
Dr. Aurelia Henry Reinhardt,
president of Mills College, and na
tional president of the American
Association of University Women,
will ho on the campus next Sat
urday to attend the state meeting
of the Oregon branches of A. A. U.
W.
Dr. Reinhardt will address the
afternoon session, which will be
held in the auditorium of the mu
sic building, on “New Horizons.”
President Arnold Bennett Hall will
also speak. This session will be open- i
ed to the public, and everyone in
terested is invited to attend. Dr.
Reinhardt is one of the best known
women in the field of education to
day, and it is expected that a num
ber of University students will wel
come the opportunity to hear her,
according to Miss Mozelle Hair, Di
rector of Correspondence Study of
the University.
Final plans for a state scholar
ship to a woman having a B.A. or
B.8. degree who wishes to do grad
uate work, will be completed at the
morning business session. This is
the third annual meeting of the
Oregon A. A. XT. W. There are six
branches in the state, at Portland,
Salem, McMinnville, Corvallis, Eu
gene, and Klamath Falls.
Flying machines do
go faster than stages;
but they do not run
nearly so often.
And they don’t take you to
just exactly the place you
want to go, either—as stages
so often do.
So—use the stages.

Formal Opening
Date Postponed
Ceremonies May be Held
When Webfools Clash
With Huskies
Ddication of the new $200,000
McArthur basketball pavilion, or
iginally scheduled for the night of
the Idaho-Oregon game here Satur
day when the Webfoots opened their
conference season, has been indefin
itely postponed, according to Dr.
John F. Bovard, dean of the school
of physical education and chairman
of the committee in charge of the
ceremonies. Failure of the contract
ors to complete the court by Satur
day was given as the reason.
The playing floor was ready for
the opening of the home season
against Willamette last week, but
the shower and locker rooms have
not yet been installed, and the of
fices for the coaches and Virgil
Earl, athletic director, have not
been built, as per agreement.
The administration officials
thought it would be best to wait
until the regents took over the
building completed in every detail,
before staging the dedicatory exer
cises, Dean Bovard said.
If work is rushed, the pavilion
may be dedicated with the Oregon
Washington game, February 26, or
with the O. A. C.-Webfoot contest,
February 22.

followed by a field basket by Gun
ther, bringing the count up to 19
to 7.
The Cougars made their final
stand during the next few minutes
of play. They gained possession of
the ball but couldn ’t get through
the Webfoot defense and missed
several long shots. Ridings took the
ball the length of the floor and lost
it as his shot for the basket bounced
out of bounds.

received the pass from out of j
bounds, dribbled to the center of the \
floor and shot the most sensational
basket of the evening. From then
on Oregon increased her lead.
Oregon’s only substitution was
Scott Milligan for Dave Epps, late
in the first half. The Cougars made
three substitutions, two of them
necessary because of the four-per- j
sonal-foul rule. Shooting of both
teams was ragged.

With three more conference games
and one non-conference tilt ahead of
them before their return to the Ore
gon campus, Coach Billy Reinhart’s
varsity basketeers are continuing
their march to the northwest cham
pionship. If luck is with them, they
will return well on the way to a
post-season battle with California
or Stanford for the coast title.
Ten men are making the long cir
cuit with the lemon-yellow aggre
gation. They are: Boy Okerberg,
“Swede” Westergren, Jerry Gun
ther, Scott Milligan, Joe Bally, Gor
don Ridings, Pave Epps, Fred Joy,
Emmons and Kiminki.
Dave Epps, Stars
The work of the Webfoots to date
has been marked by the rapid im
provement of Dave Epps, ex-Frank
lin high star, who broke into the
first string lineup in the game with
Idaho. Epps was directly respon
sible for 12 points in the Gonzaga
game and appears to be good for
many more in. future games.
Gordon Hidings, who spent most
of last week in the infirmary, has
completely recovered and is making
himself unpopular with opposing of
fenses.
“Swede” Westergren has regained
the shooting eye that helped to
make him all coast guard last sea
son and proved it to the satisfac
tion of all concerned when he rang
up 12 counters to lead the scoring
against Idaho. Westergren has de
veloped a habit of sticking like a
leach to opposing star forwards,
meanwhile appropriating a fair
share of the scoring honors for his
own use.
Crucial Games This Week
Of the games yet to be played
this week, the two with Idaho and
Washington are crucial. Although
Idaho is out of the race for the
title by reason of losses to Oregon
and Washington, the Vandals would
like nothing better than to upset
Oregon on Idaho’s home floor. The
number of games the Vandals have
lost on that home floor in the last
three years could be counted on one
hand, and the Oregon squad will
have to be on edge every minute to
turn the trick.
Washington took the measure of
Idaho last week, but the strength of
the northerners remains a matter of

A little thing
The power called habit is a little thing . . . but it can pull
your eyes open at a certain hour every morning, deter
mine whether you dress the right or left foot first, drop a
fixed amount of sugar into your breakfast coffee—free
your mind for thoughts that demand actual choice.
The little habit of glancing over these advertising columns
daily, checking this and that which appeal to you, frees
your mind from any guesswork about the merits of a
product; helps you choose wisely when you buy. If you
are familiar with advertisements, you can discriminate
merits, weigh one product against another, these truths
against those. And the habit of buying only advertised
goods takes the hazard out of shopping; puts in a good,
sturdy sure.
Start a friendly little habit that will
pay. Read the advertisements in
