T,aur had attempted to cross the pass in light oxfords and thin clothing, hut was forced to stop late Friday night, after he . realized it was useless to go on through the snow. He was found next morning by trappers with his feet frozen, and he was taken to their cabin, 100 yards from where lie had spent the' night. Prince Helfrieli, Ed Thurston, Frank Sparks, and Bradford Hat son, the quartet of students, volun teered to make the trip through the cold and snow, Saturday night, to bring the hoy to Eugene for medi cal aid. Eaur left Eugene Friday and walked to Lost Creek ranch, Helf ricli stated, lie was advised fo turn hack, but he struggled on through the freezing weather Fri day evening. He became cold and tired, hut realizing that death was inevitable if he stopped, he followed snow-shoe tracks, leading into a side road, feeling his way over the crusted-imprints after it became ton dark fo see.

They took him to their lodge, ndminis 4 tered first aid and gave him warm food. Later in the day one of the men hiked to Lost Creek ranch for aid. Helfrich, Thurston, Sparks and Pat son, members of a party of Obsidians, Eugene outdoor club, who were spending the week-end on the liver, tramped through the snow, eight miles on skiis, pulling a tobog gan. They left the Obsidian lodge at 11 o’clock Saturday night, arriv ing at the trappers’ cabin at 3:30 Sunday morning. After warming themselves and de positing Laur on the toboggan, they left, at 3:30 Sunday morning on their march back through the snow. Three of the boys strung out in front to pull the toboggan, one stay ing in the back to act as a brake. All were on skiis. The rescue party pulled the tobog gan to the Obsidian lodge, and later brought Laur to the Eugene hospital. The men have spent much time in the McKenzie river country every winter, and all are expert skiers. Portland Merchants * Enroll in New Course Portland business men are show ing considerable interest in the re tail merchandising class offered by the university extension division, according to Lean Lavid E. Faville, of the school of business administra tion. Dean Faville visited Portland Fri day for the purpose of lecturing to the class. Fifty-five were registered for the course, and included buyers and de partment managers of some of Port land’s biggest stores. | Sociologist Tells OfDefu net Sch oo I | Bool; Among Seven Note On Library Shelves “I am certainly amazed at tlie f-haiigos 111at have taken place in the campus of Hie University of Oregon since the days when 1 stu died here,” said .Holier!

Mr. Down has just moved to Eu gene from Portland, where he was head of the history department at Eranklin high school, lie has been a member of the Eranklin high school teaching staff since 1020. In 100.-S, Mr. Down attended the i I,iber.nl university of Silvcrton, now dead and forgotten. This institu tion of higher learning was some what of an experiment at that time. It was considered as being very radical in its ideas, and encountered strong opposition from those who resented it breaking from the old traditions of other universities. The Liberal university, stated Mr. Down, was the first to break away from the old ideas of a higher cdu ' cation, and to advance the ideas of (Continued on Vatje your) Call Announces Committees for Freshman Hop Meeting of llie Committee Chairmen Is Held Last Niglht To Outline Details Preparations for Ihc annual Frnsli flloo, to bo staged Fob. 2, wont for ward yesterday when Don Call, gen eral chairman of the dance, an nounced a practically complete list of committees.

All College Students Should Marry Before Entering School, Says Howe By CLARENCE F. CRAW “All college students should he married before they enter college,” was the startling opinion of Herbert! f• C. Howe, professor of English at! the university, when approached on the subject of the recent ruling in Washington and Jefferson College which expels all married undergradu ate students from the university. “If they were all married, they would waste less time of evenings and would be for the betterment of the scholastic standing.” Professor Howe explained that the system of prohibiting marriages in college had been in effect since the universities and colleges first-start ed and were probably part of the monarch'al dictatorship of the Dark Ages when the faculty was able to dictate to the students absolutely what they should and should -not do. In Oxford university students are forbidden to marry, states Professor ^ Howe, but a ruling like that on the Oregon campus would lie almost, too rcvolut ionary. Karl M. Pallctt, registrar of the university, and dean of men, be lieves that if the marriages of the students are open and above-board, and the two are decent, sensible, people, the university has no busi ness at all in “sticking its nose into the affair.” Most of the criticism of college marriages, Mr. Pallctt believes, comes from the numerous “secret” marriages, which are often considered n it quite the thing in good society. He does not believe that marriege will interfere with a college education. Hugh Biggs, acting dean of men, says that ho is inclined to think that marriage is an added incentive to high scholarship ratings—unless, lie adds, the financial difficulties of married life increase the worries to too great' an extent. At least, Mr. Biggs thinks, most (Continued on Page Three\ 110 Studeiils Get Degrees F rom Oregon Regents Grant Honors To Many; Nine Win Master Of Arts Ratings Here Cozins, Los Angeles Man, Awarded Pli.D.

ITo comes out for about a week. Then some little bit of a. man, who has learned more of the technique of ! shot-putting, beats him at it. The ' big bov gets discouraged and quits. “To be a track-man you’ve got to know how to take defeat. You've got to love defeat. All good track man start out as losers; but they always come back.” Track requires more courage than almost any other hind of sport, ac cording to Hill. It is fear of defeat that ruins many a good track pros pect. With football if is different, he declares. The responsibility is divided among 11 men, and there is no sure way of knowing just, how well any individual does his part. It is the positive, nerve-racking responsibility the track-man must bear, and the false sense of shame which makes them fear defeat, that keeps undiscovered stars from the track. It’s not that they dislike the sport, but that they are afraid of it. “I can’t think of one famous track-man who has not been badly beaten. Look at Paddock, Nurmi, Barnes, Spencer, Borah.” Bill has to make his own track men; literally, to manufacture them. lie1 says coaching will improve a (Continual oil Page Three) Acid in Milk Kills Germs in Intestines Alan Wooley Finds Eastern Firm’s Patented Method The secret of making a milk so acid that it will kill most of the ' germs of the intestinal tract, has been discovered by Alan Wooley, assistant in bacteriology. This secret, is not a new thing, but j was discovered by the New Haven laboratories. The laboratories, how ever, refuse to give the secret out ; and refuse to sell the milk except 1 at an almost prohibitive cost. Mr. Wooley plans to manufacture the milk as soon ns lie has experi mented with it a little more. He is not infringing on the rights of the New Haven laboratories in doing so, because the milk is made by seeding a pure culture of laeto-bacillus acid ophilus, one of the lactic acid bac teria, into sterile milk and allowing it to grow until it. clots the milk. There can bo no patent on bacteria and, also, Mr. Wooley does not make his ‘'milk” by the same process that the New Haven laboratories do. The bacillus acidophilus bacteria, is found in the intestinal tract of infants. This germ can live in a substance so acid that every other bacteria dies. This is exactly what occurs when the patient drinks the “milk.” ATI of the bacteria are killed, and lie is relieved from con ditions resulting from auto-intoxica tion. The “milk” looks like the curds of sour milk, when the whey has been removed, and tastes just like ordinary buttermilk. Webfoot-Husky Canto Play-by-play, Tentative Tentative arrangements are now underway to bring a play-by-play account of the Oregon-Washington basketball game in Seattle next Saturday to Kugene. If the present plans are completed, the Oregon professional sports writers’ associa tion will sponsor the affair at Mc Arthur court, according to Arden X. Pangborn, president of the asso ciation. Joe Pigney, secretary of the pro fessional writers’ organization, will be sent to Seattle to send down a ; detailed account of the game over ; Western Union wires. The descrip- ! tion will be received on a special1 loop into McArthur court, and an- j nounced by Spike Leslie, who broad- j casts the local games for K.ORE, Kugene radio station. If the game at Seattle is covered by radio, the sports writers will cancel their arrangements. Writer Laughs Down Modern Youth Revolt Decay of Civilization Seen As Statistician’s Dream “f would not like to conic out flatly a ml say that statisticians who print statistics on the revolt of mod ern undergraduates and the decay of civilization make up their own sta tistics; but there, is something wrong somewhere, for in the universities that I have examined, civilization doesn't seem to lie decaying and no body talks about, it,” says Kenneth 1j. Roberts in the Saturday livening Post. “It may be that there is a certain season at all universities when decay sets in, and that I happened to miss the season everywhere; but J doubt that this is so. • “It is my pronounced belief, more iver, that the statisticians who print long and weighty observations on undergraduate problems and under graduate revolt are either hard put to it for something to write about, or have come exclusively in contact with undergraduates who aren’t getting enough exercise, or have been subjected to what is known in undergraduate circles as a large amount of kidding.” Museum Displaying Oriental Paintings Kare Works of Sung Era llerakled as Gorgeous The rare Chinese paintings of tlio Sling period, age of glorious art in tlio Orient, are now a golden, lus trous brown, which once wore glist ening white sillt, yet every color is gorgeous, every line is as true and delicate as on that day they were completed nearly a thousand years ago. These paintings now hang on exhibition in the Murray Warner museum at the Woman’s building of the university. The collection of display includes fine examples of the Ming period and the Yuen period, each one a masterpiece. To see them is to gain a new conception not only of Orien tal art, but Of the people who made them, says Mrs. Murray Warner, and this she adds, is the purpose of the display and of the objects which are in the Murray Warner museum—-to promote friendly feelings between this country and tlio Orient through an appreciation of the man-made objects that arc a tribute to their genius. Oregon Ex-Student Issues Neiv Novel Old Oregon l 'niversity Tried 'To Be Liberal Added to the university polloetinn ami to the rent shelf of the main library is "Riders of the Ornnde Itonde,” by Robert Ormond Case, Oregon graduate.

This committee is receiv ing first hand information on the subject direct from the Rathe studios in Hollywood and is familiarizing itself with the intracies of llio art of movie makeup. The makeup kit itself will also be of an absolutely authentic type such as is being used in modern professional motion pic tures, according to Miss Nelson. Other members of the costuming staff are announced by Louise Clark, chairman, and include: Flsie God dard, Alice Morrow, Rob Warner, and Harriet Atchinsou. Members of the scenario staff will meet at the home of Leslie L. Lewis, Knglish instructor, tonight at 7 o’clock to get their plans in order.

She also said that she was very happy over the success of the first two performances. “We had to work hard and the flu made some trouble,” she added. The play is short so students will be able to get homo early enough not to have it interfere with their evening. Swanky Campus Dress Mingles With Flimsy Fineries Within Style Show There was a long blue dross with I silvor on it, like the sky at evening; there was a lounging suit of burn- j ing Chinese red that might have been worn by the daughter of .a mandarin; there was a brown dress worn by a wood nymph; there was a kitnona brought from Hawaii; and there were glittering clothes that would befit a princess—all at the style show in the Woman’s building Saturday morning. The scenery was futuristic; soft panels gemmed with silver, descend-! ing in steps from a dais wliero a peacock should have spread his burnished feathers. However, “We hate to disillusion you Hut surely you must know All college girls don’t dress like this Except when in a show!” There was one note, though, that struck the initiated observer as al most. too correct. Jewell Ellis, red headed, smiling, cuddly as a baby doll, wore a striped flannel kimnna, flannel pajamas, carried an alarm clock and a hot-water bottle. That was realism. The mannequins modeled negli gees, campus clothes, sport togs, and evening gowns and wraps. The sport clothes consisted of outfits for golf', for tennis, for swimming, for riding, for skiing, find for aviation. The campus togsN were sweaters, skirts, leather .'pick ets and berets. The suggestion has been brought by Helen Peters, treasurer of the Women’s league, that a man’s sec tion be added to the style show next year, where correct apparel for boys and men would be modeled. Elsie Goddard had charge of this style show; Martha Stevens was in charge of the programs, Mao Tobin of the music, and Carl Hoilborn and Floyd Bunk of the scenery. Music was furnished by Carolyn Haber Inch at the piano and Roma Gross, who played the violin.
