Stanford Man Urges Change For Colleges Dr. ^m„ Martin Proctor Advocates Junior College Plan Educator Addresses Meeting of Faculty Upper Division School ^ For Stanford Ono of the strongest exponents of the upper and lower division col leges and a man who is an national authority on vocational education was a campus visitor yesterday and spoke before several groups on the topics in which he was vitally in terested, ‘ ■ He was Dr. William Martin Proc tor, professor of vocational educa tion at Stanford University, who spoke at a meeting of the faculty in the administration building yes terday evening and also at a ban quet given in his honor by Phi Delta Ka'ppay men’s honorary edu cational fraternity. Stanford, he told the faculty, lias developed the junior college idea considerably. There .students do not major in any subject their first two years. When they are juniors they choose a major which must be approved by an advisory board. ^ Stanford is looking forward to the elimination of its lower divis ion and becoming entirely an upper division and graduate university. Each year the number of entering! underclassmen is reduced, until in 11134 none will be admitted, he said. One of the first researches to be made, is the ■ relation between vo cational objective and school suc . cess. It is popularly supposed that persons who know what life work they are going to follow do better work in school than ones who have not yet decided upon a career, ex plained Dr. Proctor at the Phi Delta Kappa banquet in his honor. “Another research is on the rela tion between emotional interests find vocaticttMsI success. Dr. B: K. Strong of Stanford has been making extensive studies in this field and he finds that the interest pattern of the engineer differs almost com pletely from the interest pattern of the lawyer. A third research in v olves the effect of college admis v sion requirements upon 1 educational and vocational guidance. A recent survey of American colleges shows tliat 70% of them refuse to accept high school transcripts where the student has taken as many as five but of fifteen units in specialized and vocational subjects.” Guests at last night’s banquet, which was held at the Anchorage, included Dr. O. P. Stafford; Super intendent J. O. McLaughlin of Cor vallis; Dean J. P. Bovard; Dean Elmer Shirrell; Dr. C. L. Huffaker; Dr. II. E. Taylor and father; H. A. Hotter, principal of Koosevelt Jun ior High, of Eugene. Dr. Procter was formerly an Ore gon man, having been professor of education and dean at Pacific Uni veristy before going to Stanford. His interest in the University of Oregon campus is doubly keen be cause it was his brother who did the sculpture work on the Pioneer. Mr. Proctor had looked the country over trying to find a suitable model and finally found a trapper iii east ern Oregon who was quite perfect for the part. He was to go to Palo Alto so that Mr. Proctor could do his work at home, but when the trapper arrived in California, lie had shaved, his beard and had acquired a tailored suit. Matrimonial (Continued from page one) I am. I don’t mind if she’s a little bit dumb, if she is versed in house hold arts and is quiet and not over spoken.” “Smart and charming” were the first requisites which Merril Swen son, junior in pre-law, demanded of Tires for that Collegiate Ford Good Used Tires that will make the old Ford go rollin’ along the rest of the school year—cheaply. We repair tires, too. B&M Tire Co. 845 Olive “I should like her an ideal wife. to be apt of speech, well informed, but not brilliant or scholarly. She need not look like a picture but she must be trim and of the right type. I insist that she be broadminded but discreet. Either blondes or bru nc-ttes are acceptable but blondes j are generally more pietite. She must j like home life but need have no af-| finity for household drudgery. Cig-; arettes are not necessary but not objectionable. Above all else she must be adoring and adorable. Her loquacity must be curbed by good J judgment and a furious temper is very desirable as it adds to the in terest of living.” Glenn Godfrey, freshman in jour nalism, refused to commit himself on size, age .or complexion for the ideal. “Maximum work in minimum time,” was his only demand. _“My wife doesn't need to be beautiful,” said Bill Crawford, jun ior in business administration, “and she can be a blonde, red-lieaded or a brunette, but she can’t be dumb! And I’d like to have her do the unexpected . . . keep mo interested. There's nothing worse than being bored. Of course, compatibility is h good- thing.” The co-eds are just as emphatic in their views. Ruth Creager, freshman in jour nalism, says: “I should like a good looking man, but if he isn’t good looking if won’t make any differ ence. I don’t care if he is a blonde or brunette, but he must bo taller than I. I hope he doesn’t know how to cook because he won’t be tellijig me what is wrong with the meals. lie must be a good dancer and like to swim and play tennis, and if ho appreciates good music, so much the better. I want him to notice the sort -of clothes I wear and to tell me if lie likes them.” Mary Benton, editor of the Ore gana and a senior iii journalism, wrote from 'the leap year point of view: “Of course,” she said, “if one must have a husband he should be an ideal. And now that this is! leap year I suppose we should be | taking this problem quite seriously . . . Wig Fletcher tolls me he would make an ideal husband, but the catch is, he didn’t say for whom. Then there is Bon Hubbs, but ho contends that his wife must be shorter than he is. Course, Will Rogers would do, but I guess I am: not international enough for him. So what’s the use of having an ideal . . . they h#ve opinions on the j subject too.” “My husband must be tall, dark and good-looking,” insists Irene Ur fer, junior in journalism. “Also must bo in ideal dancer and one who will take me out a lot. I don’t want him to be domestic ... I’d rather like him to play golf and bo a mediocre bridge player. His in terest muSt be centralized in me. I’d rather ho was reasonably rich because I couldn’t stand to help support a family.” “A well-read man,” believes Etha Jeanne Clark, junior in written Ent^ lisli, “would be the most ideal hus- i band, but I wouldn’t like a brilliant one. He should bo domestic by na-' ture and not want , to go out to dances or shows more than two or three times_a week. Ho must be tall and not necessarily good-look ing. However, none of these re quirements count if he is in love with mo and I with him.” A Red Blooded Epic of the Northwest Mounted —with— Patsy Ruth Miller and All Star Cast Comedy News HEX PRICES Continuous Today 1 to 11 Doors Open 12:45 Dean Allen Gets Unusual Volume Of Fine Printing Hicks-Chatten, Portland, Send Costly Work For Present Limited Edition Displays Superiority A notable book on the progress of photo-engraving and letter press printing in 1927, printed in a limited edition estimated to have cost well above $100,000, and to have required the services of over 8000 men and women to produce, was presented to j Erie W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, recently by the Ilicks Chattcn Engraving company, of Portland. This book, “Achievement in Pho- j to-Engraving and Letter-press Printing,” is the result of a year’s endeavor by the American Photo Engravers’ association to fittingly mark a period of’epochal work in the field of graphic illustration. Many Concerns Contribute Included in the volume are in serts from over 350 photo-engrav- | ing concerns and printing establish- j ments. This demonstrates in a myr iad array of brilliant .illustrations the nearly perfect state to which the j art of illustrating in eolor by me-j. chanieal means has achieved by the ; photo-engraving process. The specimens of color printing; iml engraving processes are repro- j ductions of illustrations in books, advertisements and special bro chures that had special sale during 19-7. They were gratuitously fur nished by the engraving companies composing the American association of photo-engravers to further the record of achievement in the art work of the craft.

A comparison of tlie illustrations of current books and magazines of today with the type of art, work in use in commer cial advertising ten years ago, will at once convince even the uninform ed of the tremendous advance made in the use of color printing in ad vertising and illustrating, ns well as the vast improvement in techni cal excellence of the plates used. A number of articles clearly explain- j ing the intricate processes in the manufacture of printing plates by the photo-engraving process, accom pany the illustrations. Color Printing Praised The value of color printing to the advertising world is attested in a1 si^ore of brief eulogies by the biggest buyers of color work for ndvertis-! ing purposes in America. It was the concensus of opinion of these dignitaries that without the recentj advances in the methods of art j printing that advertising results would ing far behind its present de gree of efficiency, and that art work in commercial printing had | clone much to improve the public standards of art appreciation in America. The frontispiece of the volume is a reproduction of a water color painting of old Santa Barbara Mis sion, printed for John Henry Nash, of San Francisco. Mr. Nash is well known to Oregon newspaper men1 for liis outstanding work as one of the nation’s great aitist-printers, ' and for his work in encouraging and personally supervising the produc-1 tion of fine books by students of typography at the University of Or- j egon Press.

State's Schools May Have Single Regents Board "Fee Jumpers’ Attacked By Body in Move To Save Money (Bv United Press) PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 3.—Feasi bility of “a single board of regents for all state institutions of higher learning” will be given a critical study, the sub-commttee of the state tax investigating committee that is charged to find ionic way to reduce state taxes decided here today. . * The motion to delve into the question of a single board of regents was made by Lee Barmnn of The Palles and was seconded by E. E. Brodio of Oregon City. The resolu tion also included a. provision for a study into comparative costs as between the different institutions, the number of students actually resi dent in other states, and the prac tibility of increasing foreign stu dents’ tuition charges. Brodie said he was confident that some day all the institutons would be under one board of regents and that when that time came there would be a very material reduction in cost of maintenance.
