Speaking Voice Class To Present Anthology Soon First Program Will Be Invitational Affair Friday Evening Edgar Lee Master Poems To Be Offered After two big successive week cuds the drama department will take a half vacation this week, since the only thing planned is an individual program to be given March 2 by the speaking voice class. “Spoon River Anthology” by "Ed gar Lee Masters will be staged by various members of the class under the direction of Miss Florence E. Wilbur, head o( the department, Fri day evening. A once prominent lawyer tells all the stories which have been related tc him by bis many callers who have passed on some years ago. It will be a decidedly different performance, featuring the dreary and lonely epi sodes of the lives of heterogeneous persons. The staging will lend a gruesome atmosphere to the program, since 7,Ians are being made to carryout the morbid and somewhat ghostly air lingering about the anthology. This will be the first program or production to be given by the speak ing voice class. According to Miss Wilbur, the advance drama students will begin soon on their lines for the coming piny “Shall We Join the Ladies?” .Some difficulties have occurred in securing the ]ilay, but within a. few days Miss Wilbur ex pects to be able to beign work on it. While the drama department is busy with tho* approaching events, plans are being made and details arranged for the rojiertoirc to be staged early in April and the drama tournament which will be held hero in May.

W. Davis Home Discloses Seabeck Program Plans Nino men from the University of Oregon have tentatively decided to attend the annual Y. M. C. A. stu dent conference, to be held June 9 to 17 at Seabeck, Washington, a check disclosed at a meeting of the campus Seabeck .group held Sun day afternoon at “Horizons,” the home of H. W. Davis, director of the United Christian Work on the campus. Alson Bristol, chairman of the campus Seabeck committee, has ap pointed Bob Jackson to arrange transportation for the delegation, John Scrivncr to provide posters advertising the conference, and Shailer Peterson for inter-church work, it was announced at the meeting. An impromptu but spirited debate on the question, “Resolved, That the opportunities for entertainment and recreation at Seabeck surpass those for education and religious inspiration,” rvas decided in favor of the negative, upheld by Claude Addison and Singh Sadharia. Bob Fleming and Bob Jackson composed the affirmative team. Elmer Adams, Lavvrenco Mitchelmoro, Jack Rice, and John Scrivner, men who have not as yet attended Seabeck, were the judges. William Schulze, president of the campus Y. M. C. A. and'chairman of the Northwest Seabeck commit tee, spoke briefly on this year’s pro gram at Seabeck; the cost of at tendance and other matters of in formation relative to the confer ence. It was announced that liter ature, now being prepared in Port land, will soon bo available to those interested in Seabeck. (Continued from page one) of conviction to arrests is actually less than half in all cities where data were available. In New York City the ratio for all felonies is but 20 percent; in Baltimore less than half; and in Cleveland, Ohio, but 30 percent. England will av orago well over 75 percent, and Canada 72 percent. “Side-stepping” Railed Legal procedure, which permits criminals and tho.se charged with crimes to escape through “side-step ping” is severely scored in the re port. “Instead of a loosely-built rail fence through which criminals can break seemingly at will, what is needed, to use the language of a farmer,‘is “a fence, horse high, bull strong, and hog tight,” it is stated. A survey shows that there are no less than 19 of tlieso “loop-holes.” Some of them are failuro to arrest, discharge want of prosecution, no true bill, failure to arraign, jump bail, conviction set aside on appeal, suspended sentence, new trial, and finally, parole and pardon after com mitted to penal institutions. “Our rural areas have no police,” declares the report, and then it declares emphatically that the sys tems in use in small towns and rural areas is “but a docayed and atten uated survival of ancient systems which England had at different per iods of its early history. Today our sheriffs ore elected locally and are never ,the strongest men in the counties, and are usually paid an inadequate salary.

Stanlaurel Comedy 784 E. 11th Ave. od a force out of his .deputies that bears the slightest resemblance to a modern police force. The growth of state constabulary forces is shown in the report. Eleven states have now adopted this system. While the committee docs not go on record as recommending such forees, it does propose a compromise, under which a state central body would cooperate with county offi cials in the stimulation, development and co-ordination of local police. This has already been enacted into a law in Minnesota. Police Out of Polities The committee emphatically rec ommends as one remedy “takin'g pGlice out erf politics,” and it cites the fact that even “regular politi cians” are coming to see the situa tion in this light. Business prin ciples are applicable to police or ganizations, it is believed, and one of these principles should bo that the police force of cities and com munities should be under one head in each municipality, and not under the control of a “board” or com mission. Good pay, and selection for ability, are two measures rec ommended for the improvement of the personnel. The overwhelming majority of cases today are actually tried in the poorest court, that of justice of the peace, if is stated. This court, “a bit of obsolete machinery”, would be replaced by such an organization as the Consolidated Criminal Court of Detroit. Here all misdemeanors and all preliminary hearings of fel ony cases aro heard by judges who also pass upon all applications for warrants or arrest. These judges are learned of .the law, and are paid a salary sufficient to attract good men to the office. In the opinion of the committee this plan makes for efficiency, dignity and substan tial justice. The ease with which arrested per sons may “jump bail” is severely scored in the report. Complicated legal machinery for collecting bail on judgments, even after it is “jumlped” is described. A close check-up on bondsmen and more rap id and complete collections is rec ommended as a step toward rem edying this situation. Less Re-Trials Ee-trials are also discussed, and by simplifying the form of the in dictment and insisting that no new trial be allowed where on examina tion no injustice to the accused has been found, it is believed that the number of retrials can bo greatly reduced. The committee declares that the grand jury system has little or no justification, and it irecommends that the responsibility for .this part of the jyecedure be put directly upon the prosecuting attorney. The grand jury has already virtually been abolished in 24 states, it is cited. One way of cutting cost and avoid ing delay, that most fruitful cause of defeated justice, is through a reduction in the number of jury trials. "This can be accomplished as it is at present in Maryland, where the accused has the right to elect whether he shall be tried by court or jury. Actually, 93 percent of all eases in 1925 chose the court, it is stated. An actual research laboratory, A Cozy Place— —to bring your girl after impromptu social engage ments.

The meeting at Berkeley will consist mainly of research and pro gress reports and papers on the geo logical features of the west coast, Dr. Smith said. where methods of dealing with crim inals could be studied, is a vital need in this country, the committee de clares. The ■ introduction of scien tific methods is held to be the only solution to the present situation, of which the committee says in con clusion, “Science has as yet gained little foothold in the work of pro tecting society from crime.” Pledging Announcement Phi Chi Theta, national honorary commerce fraternity for women, an nounces' the pledging of Allison Wilder, of Bend, Oregon.
