Campus Views on Day’s
Topics Are Gathered
By Inquiring Reporter
Today’s Question: What do you
consider the greatest assets that a
girl should have to win a man’s
heart
“Chuck” Reed, junior in journal
ism: “First brains—then comrade
ship.”
Grant Van Horen, freshman in
business administration: “ She should
be attractive and have a pleasing
personality. She should be intelli
gent to the degree that she knows
something concerning several fields
ot' education, especially that in
which ‘the man’ is interested." She
should also be talented in some art.”
Lester Johnson, first-year law stu- I
dent: “One element would be that j
of reserve, of course that would re
quire all the other outstanding ele
ments, of peFsonalitv—as poise and
personal charm. She should be
charming, intelligent, modest, con
siderate and not tod conceited.”
Carol Eberliart, senior in psy
chology: “In the first place she
must be good looking, both as to
form and feature. She should bo
sympathetic and tactful, and inter
ested in the affairs of the man in
view. Intelligence would help, if
not too evident.”
“Bob” Goodall, sophomore in
plant biology: “Personality and
good looks.”
Don Johnston, senior in journal
ism: “Money.”
Luckner
(Continued from rage One)
;i child lie preferred the wild, wild
Indian stories to learned treatises,
and because of this and of his fa
ther’s desire to make him a cavalry
man the two quarreled. The count ran
away, and shipped on te “Niobe”
although lie was not yet I t years
old. He was severely treated, and
if some sailors had not taken pity
on him lie would have been left to
drown when a wave washed him
from the boat. He grasped the legs
of an albatross and kept himself
afloat until the rescue boat came to
his aid.
In Australia he washed dishes for
awhile, but the gramophone of the
Salvation Army caught his eye. He
found that the music was not a
“fake” so thought of becoming a
captain in the Army. He swore he
would never take another “drop of
strong liquor” (as yet he hadn't
had any), and right away lie went
to drinking ginger ale.
He tired of this, and joined a
light house crew. One of the men
in charge saw the lad kissing his
daughter so the count left hurried
ly. He joined the Hindu fakirs, and
afterwards took up boxing.
Is Adrift on Ocean
lie survived the scurvy and beri
beri aboard the “Pinmore,” one of
the boats on which lie siifWl, and
the flogging at the rope’s end
aboard the “Caesarea” caused when
he decided to cat the skinflint cap
tain ’s chicken. He was cast three
days ill a dungeon in Chile, but fi
nally the captain decided to sail
and saved his sailor.
One of his narrowest escapes hap
pened when the Caesarea sank
and two open boats were left adrift
on the ocean. One sank, and the
one which Count Luckner was in,
seemed fated for a like grave. Ra
tions were cut, but still no rescue
boat appeared, finally it was de
cided to draw lots and see who
should sacrifice himself so the oth
ers might drink his blood. No one
wished to he first in drawing, and
finally t he group, was saved.
At one time lie nearly starved to
death as a beach comber. His ap- '
pearant-e was so dreadful .a negro
laborer refused him shelter except
in his tool shed.
Joins Mexican Army
Count von Luckner tried every
thing. lie wished one day to leave
his boat and prove a sailor can ride
horseback. His boat sailed without
him. lie looked around for an oc
cupation, and joined the Mexican
Galoshes

army since lie happened to be in
Mexico. He finally left and re
turned to Germany where he be
i came a bartender and sold the beer.
Count Luekner decided finally
j that it was time he should make
j good his promise to his father to
wear the emperor’s uniform with
honor. He began intensive study,
received his position in the imperial
: navy and returned to his family
j who had given him up as lost.
When the war came he was ap
i pointed in command of the “Sen
j Eagle” and ran the triple blockade
of the allies during a heavy storm.
He preyed on enemy ships but did
not take a life. Always he took
the crew on board and treated them
as guests until he could land them
safely ashore.
He will speak tonight on his ex
periences waging humanitarian war
fare, and of his gay buccaneering
experiences in life.
Professors

name of their fraternity, along with
their names on the papers they
handed in. Such actions as these
are what make professors mistrust
the motives of students.”
All the instructors interviewed
were agreed that this system causes
a lot of grief. It is always the
poorer students that indulge in
handshaking. The good students,
fearful of being considered “soft
soapers” avoid their professor when
they really want to talk to him.
Even poor students who want to
play the game squarely, do not go
and receive advice because they are
afraid their motive will be mis
construed.
Professor Stevenson Smith of the
University of Washington’s psychol
ogy department has a “sure kill”
method of squelching handshakers
who ask him to dinner, said a pro
fessor here who knows him. When
a girl phones him up and says:
“Oh, Dr. Smith, we would love
to have you come to dinner to
morrow,” lie always replies.
“No, thanks, my room and board
is paid for in advance.”
“It always gives mo a pain,”
remarked another professor, “to
have a student lihng over my desk
and coo about how slip simply adores
this course, and the may I lecture
is simply-divine. I don’t like flat

tery anyway. I am suspicious o
it.”
The reason one ptvfessor give:
for tlie ‘‘soft-soaping” so preva
lent in American colleges is tha
they are a “bad mixture of a coun
try club and chorus girl parade.’
It’s usually the new professors tha
they try to work, because they
haven’t them sized up yet.
“Handshaking, like anything elsi
if subtly done, gets over any pro
fessor,” lie added.

Local Taxidermist
Presents Freak Calf
An interesting freak of nature
was given to tlie department of
animal biology recently by a
Eugene (taxidermist, according t.o
Harry B. Yoeom, professor of zool
ogy. The freak is a seven or eight
months old calf that has no eyes,
has ears like those of a dog, and
no paired nostrils. The upper part
of the skull is developed very little,
and a small opening in the middle
of the forehead is the only indica
tion of a nostril. The body has
very little hair on it, and that only
on the legs and on the ears.
The calf is being kept in “pickle”
in the Research building nntiT some
industrious student wants to study
it to attempt to determine the rea
son for the abnormalities.
