^ 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.

“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.”

Unusual Volume
Of Fine Printing
Hicks-Chatten, Portland,

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.
Photo-engraving is a mechanical [
art that is second in importance only!

to the printed word. 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.

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.

That practical joke
about looking upward
You can’t help yourself. If you see someone standing
still in the street, looking upward, you bend your neck
backward. You want to see too. You want to know
what’s going on.
That instinct is perhaps the main reason for news
papers. So you can know what’s going on. Going on
among your neighbors, among the people in the next
state, in other lands. You want to know the news.
And that’s what advertising is for, too. So you can
know what’s going on. So you can know the news about
styles in clothing, about theories in foods, about the latest
improvements in radio amplifiers or automobile engines
or face creams. News! You want to know the news.
The advertising in this newspaper is here to tell you
things. It is here to keep you in touch with the things that
are going on. Advertisements are interesting. They are
useful. They are news.
