All this a result of the playful titillating they have just come through at the mischie vous hands of our own H. ytcplien aon Smith. Assistant. Professor Smith romped across contemporary criticism and two pages of the latest New Stu dent without even pausing to puff. And he didn’t pick his steps too delicately either. Without deigning a glance at the vorbotens which ordinarily are i nougli to keep tresspassers off the critical domains, Mr. Hmith vaulted in Before you could say Jack Rob inson, he has tweaked Waldo Prank’s dignified nose, pinched "Van Week Brooks’ profoundly sen sitive car all pinkish, and in a told cavalier manner, chucked Hen ry Louis Mencken himself merrily under the chin. It was only before the late llunekcr that he respect fully inclined his head. W. 0. Brownell, Irving Babbitt and Paul Elmer More did not come in for the ragging. Mr. Hmith rates them as men of catholic, taste who can take their joke or leave it alone as befits the occasion. Solemn asininity was his mark; he slapped it genially but effect ively. And his sallies carried penetration and cour age. At the outset, Mr. Hmith steeled himself with (loet lie's: the hardest tiling in the world is to be always oneself, lie held this before him he was himself.

Too late for the class of 192.S but very much in time for those following is the University’s announcement of the summer school and post, session for students needing a few additional hours. Low brow fiction is very popular with W, 8. ('. students, according to Pullman news stand proprietors. II’s not so strange, for after all, there are probably many more low brows in the world than wearers of the high hat. Day after day the papers tell of some new feat in aviation. What passed for wild fancies a few years ago is now a regular portion of the day’s grist of news. “Up in the air” has acquired a new meaning. Whether one approves or disap proves of the presence of foreign troops in China, it is interesting to note that an American officer is in charge of the forces in Pekin and a Japanese commands those at Tient sin. Such a condition is only pos sible biNiause of an increasing re spect and understanding of each other between nations. Students at 11. (). L.

Dr, Philip Parsons Linds Notable Progress in Social Work of South Unusual progress in social work cf the southern states was the dis covery of Ur. Philip A. Parsons, professor of applied sociology at the University of Oregon, who has returned from a month's visit in the cast part of the south, attending serial work conventions. ‘‘.It. was a complete eye-opener to mi* to see what the South is doing in social work," he said. ‘‘In the past, she has been very sensitive to. criticism about her failure to take' an active interest in this problem of’ her people.” Since the war the! fc’oiith has been taking a hearty in terest and today is ahead of many of the northern and western states m this respect. “It is especially re markable, because of the fact that she had to start from ‘scratch,’ and bt.ibl from the bottom.” Dr. Parsons feels that the rest of America will soon In looking to the! South for help in the teaching of; sociology, research and the right wav to attack the problem. “Many of the experimenters and social wi rk leaders will come from south ern America because of the onthu ; si a.sm and interest in working out! something that is new.” The universities are formulating; m w courses in social work and re search projects. States are inau gurating departments of public web I fare with commissioners iu charge. I "While in the south, the Oregon pro* 1 c.-sor took time to investigate what was being done. U the University of Noiih Caro lina at Chapel Hill he made a study of the North Carolina system of social work. As the University of A itginia is spending much time in j sociology research, its ideas were ] also considered. Although not a delegate. Dr. Par sons at tended the southern section of the Political Science Association held nt* Nashville, Tennessee April *'H) ami May 1. Here ho found men horn all of Hu4 south, except Ken tucky, talking on what the south is doing in the social work field. They had as one of their duties the work ing out of courses in the sociologi cal lines. The National Conference of {Soc ial Workers was at Memphis from May - to ib and during this meet ing two papers were read by Dr. 1’arsons, one on “Training of {Social Workers” and one concerning “The l ndifferentiated {Social W\>rlw” the latter subject had to do with social work in communities where no other aid is given to the people than through social workers. At the same time the annual meet ing ot the American Association of 8( hools of {Social Work was held, j I he Portland {School of Social Work a member of this organization. {Several conferences with Judge i harles \\ . Hoffman, of the court •t domestic relations of Cincinnati, were had b\ Hr. Parsons. Judge Hcffman has gained much atteution j because he believes that divorce is a social rather than a legal prob h iu and should be solved as such, in all divorce cases eoiuiug before him, he always considers what will Ik best for the children, if any, and has social work a,dvisors to give him their side of the ipiestion.

A few perfections are still neces sary for reality, among which we suppose is a telephone to transmit the voice of the person who reads the sub-titles aloud. nc— ROCK BREAKING TO BECOME MAJOR SPORT AT STATE PEN Blanket Awards For Life Termers Also Proposed A move is oil foot to make rook breaking a major sport in the state penitentiary at Salem. Agitation was first started at the last meeting of the letter men’s organization when Harry Pickax, transfer from San Quentin here this year and one of the outstanding performers on the rock piles the past season, got up and made a stirring speech. He proposed further that life termers be awarded blankets with tho pen’s letters inscribed thereon. He pointed out that, too many good men are being spirited away from the Salem institution because of more attractive awards elsewhere.

BULLETIN CHICAGO, 111., May IS.—(Spe cial). The Chicago Stock Exchange was thrown into an uproar here to day and the curb market swamped when sheep prices went sky high as the result of a sudden demand, at almost unbelievable prices, for sheep skills in Oregon, “Mamma, why is that funny man walking on his hands!” "8h, dalling; he’s a Scotchman i saving shoe leather.” * * * STATISTICS NOT WORTH KNOWING If all the golf halls lost by Uni versity students on the golf links were piled in one heap in front of the Co-op tlioy wouldn't bo lost any more.

You won't want your- canoe will you” ’ StEYFN ^KEWS Velma Tisdale, Graduate Student9 Will Teach on Floating University “The world its campus.” Such is the aim of the floating university upon which Velma Tisdale, graduate student at the University of Oregon, is going to teach mathematics. The floating university leaves New York October 6, to be gone for eight months. From New York it sails to Havana, then to California through the Panama canal. Leaving California, Hawaii, Japan, China, and the Philippines will be visited. The university will spend most of the winter in the Meditteranean sea, going to Paris the first of May to spend five weeks, blaster Sunday will be spent in Brussels, Christmas Bay in Batavia. After spending a week in Berlin, two weeks in Vien na, and a few days in Czech' o vakia, the university will bo ' xck in New York harbor on the fir.t of June. Miss Tisdale, who has been doing graduate work at the University of Oregon since the beginning of last summer term, received her B.A. at Southwestern University, George town, Texas. Her M.A. she ob tained from Columbia University, New York. She has done graduate work at Columbia University and the University of California. For the last two trms, Miss Tisdale has been assisting Professor DeCou in the mathematics department. Luring the summers of 1923 and 1925, Miss Tisdale traveled in Eur ope. Seven weeks of the first sum mer were spent in Spain. “I really like Spain better than the other European countries,” Miss Tisdale said. “It is fascinating- and I am very eager to go back.” Miss Tisdale was interested in England, and “Italy was hot but enjoyed.” The floating university authori ties expect that at least fifteen countries will be represented on the tour. Honorable Itobert Lo.venthal, ambassador from Guatemala to Mex ico, has registered his two sons, Roberto and Fernando, for the tour. The universality of the university is expected by Mr. Lowenthal to broaden the outlook of the students. The Aurania, the ship which it is thought will be used on the tour, is a modern oil burning G'unarder with a turbine drive. The ship was built within the last four years, and the poor ventilation which bothered the students on the S. S. Ryndam has been well taken care of. The courses given in the floating university are standard ones for which college credit will be given everywhere. The tour is an experi ment in the coordination between theoretical knowledge and practical work on shore. The journalism students will put out a ship’s daily called the “Marco Polo Gazette.” When on the shore the students will be given the op portunity of interviewing prominent men, so the practice in journalistic work will be as good as in the geo logic or arehaeologie fields. Him Tips McDONALD: Friday ancl Satur day—“BUCK PRIVATES,” with Malcom McGregor and Zazu Pitts. REX: Friday and Saturday— “HOOK AN]) LADDER NO. 9.” COLONIAL: Friday and Satur day—“EAST SIDE, WEST SIDE.” MCDONALD: Friday and Satur day—Zazu Pitts, Lya do Puttie, and Malcom McGregor in “BUCK PRI VATES,” a bombardment of mirth depicting 4I10 adventures of three futi-Iovang doii'ghbov's billeted on the Rhine with nothing to do but play. Lya do Puttie, playing the role of Anna Hartman, does a bit of stellar acting when she becomes the target for Private John Smith, acted by Malcom McGregor. The whole pic ture is carried out to the smallest detail in the matter of locale, and settings. The portrayal of the various roles is admirably featured, and as a comedy, it’s at the top in comparison to the other pictures that have been shown recently. Zazu Pitts, as Iluld, a German maid, is a comedy by herself. I11 fact from the start to finish, “Buck Privates” is a real mirth-provoking picture. Laugh? Just try not to, and see what happens! Also Bobby Vernon in “BUGS, MV DEAR”; George MeMurpliey and his Kollege Knights in a novelty stage band act, nightly at 8:50; Felix cartoon in “Uncle Tom’s ('rabbin”; and Frank D. G. Alex ander in musical comedy settings on the organ. Coining: Will Rogers in “A Texas Steer,” giving “America’s greatest humorist” a chance to shine in the title role of (’has. 11. Hoyt’s famous play of a Texas cowboy who made the grade in Washington, D. 0., and pulled the wool over an unsuspect ing congress, with Louise Fazenda, and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. featured. J. E. C. HEILIG: Last day — Marion Davies in "THE PATSY.” This play shows Marion Davies at her best and the supporting cast, particularly Marie Dressier as Ma Harrington, and Jane Wiuton as Grace Harring ton, was well chosen. The love af fair of the adolescent Patricia Har rington with Tony Anderson, her big sister's beau, was deftly handled and laugh provoking. Lawrence Gray added some pleasant moments as Billy Caldwell, irresponsible young millionaire. One felt ex tremely corrv for both Patricia and her father in the early part of the picture. Never was anyone so hen pecked and nagged at as that pair. In addition to “The Patsy” the I'niversitv High School players pre sented an extremely well done ver sion of “THE VALIANT,” a dra matic one act play. The play brought more than one handkerchief into view before the curtain went down. Kermit Stevens, as “Dyke,” a condemned criminal, and Janet Thacker as “Josephine Paris,” who comes a thousand miles to find out if he is her brother, both give fin ished performances. Cougar Coach Recalls First Meet at Pullman WASHINGTON STATE COL LEGE, Pullman, .May IS—(P.I.P)— "Mon in flowing mustaches and ju-gjop trousers roamed about in oompany of women in trailing gowns and leg-of-mutton sleeves at the first track meet ever held at Washington State Coliege." says Doe Bolder, director of athletics here. "The appearance of one lone horseless carriage, manned by a nonchalant driver in a long linen duster and goggles practically dis : noted the whole affair.

No doubt this bank would be proud to have one of Holland’s native sons win world fame similar to Thorpe’s, but they do not believe in compelling clerks to practice marathons and weightlifting in their daily work.

It should be a real thrill to visiting Americans to contemplate one of America s great industries as a neces sary adjunct to the march of civiliza tion—even in countriesof theold world that were making history when Amer ican Indians were yet to look upon the lace of a white man.
