Women Debaters
Will Meet W. S. C.
|o Tonight, Villard
Opponents on Return Trip
From Contest in South;
First Debate of Season
The first gun in Oregon’s debate
schedule fiir women will be fired
tonight at 8 o’clock in 107 Villard
hall when a team from Washing
ton State college, Pullman, comes
to the campus on the return jour
ney from congests with several
California schools.
Mussolini, the strong man of
Italy, the man of many battles—
jbatt.les of wheat, of the lire, of
population—will be discussed as
his country’s destiny (or inemesis).
The debate will probably take the
form of dictatorship versus democ
racy, debate coach J. K. Iloruer,
said, and the battle will be waged
around the social and economic
benefits to the country as opposed
to what the Anglo-Saxon calls the
inalienable rights of free speech and
freedom of the press. The ques
tion is stated “Resolved, that Mus
solini has been a benefit to Italy.’’
Oregon will be represented by
Florence McNcruey, junior in Eng
lish, Portland, and Mary JClemm,
■junior in journalism, Eugene. They
will have the affirmative of the
question. Since the time of puppar
ntion lias been short, the contest
having boon scheduled only about
10 days ago, the Oregon debaters
will talk extemporaneously.
All classes in introductory speech
arc required to attend the debate,
as well as the contest in the after
noon yith Ashland normal, Mr.
Horner said.
University Junior
Writes for Magazine
In the February issue of the In
land Printer, appears an article by
Leonard H. Delano, a junior at the
University of Oregon, majoring in
journalism.
“The advertising medium is easy
to sell and produces results,” is
the caption to the article.
Delano describes the “Cohlex Ad
vertiser,” as introduced to the cam-,
pus here by F. S. Udall, a sopho
more economics major.
Will Quizzes Be Abolished in Future?
Professors9 Experiments Published
Are quizzes some day to be rele
gated to the historical realm of the
(lance cap and the spelling bee? Are
class recitations themselves eventu
ally doomed to the museum of edu
cational antiquities?
These may be sketchy interpreta
tions to place on a scholarly-looking
pamphlet, recently off the Univer
sity Press, labeled “Controlled Ex
perimentation in the Study of Meth
ods of College Teaching”—but they
give to the laymen a hint of some
of the problems that are being
tackled by educators of today who
are looking forward to the problems
of tomorrow.
Under the guidance of the com
mittee on college teaching, of which
Dean H. D. Sheldon is chairman,
four university professors last year
checked courses in English history,
economics, psychology, mathematics
and education, comparing results in
different methods. Their published
reports are regarded with interest,
among faculty circles on the campus
because they are in line with a gen
eral tendency to delve scientifically
into actual results of present means
*
of instruction, an endeavor in which
the University ot' Minnesota has
been recognized ns a pioneer.
The most significant result of the
entire pamphlet, as Dr. ('. L. Huff
aker, who edited the publication,
secs it, is that grades from lecture
courses may be more nearly alike
than those from either the problem
or the topical system. It is of par
ticular note too, he believes, that
the experiment indicates that stu
dents work more nearly to their own
ability in other methods than the
lecture system.
Quizz sections are of but minor
value to the students, according to
the report of Dr. Donald G. Barnes,
who showed that the value of the
English history course to students
who spent an extra hour every week
in quizz sections was little more
than to those in history sections
who spent only three hours a week
in class. The greatest value from
quizz sections apparently was to
weaker students.

Speaker Has
Inspirational
Personality
Stephen Gilman, to Talk at
. Assembly, Is Friend of
President A. B. Hall
Lecturer Was Idol of
Wisconsin Students
San Francisco Will Hear
Him Talk This Week
Stephen W. Oilman, professor
emeritus iit the University of Wis
consin wlio is to lie the main speak
er at tbs assembly in the Woman’s
building this morning at 11, is a
personal friend of Dr. Arnold Ben
nett Hall, president of the Univer
sity of Oregon.
President Hall made the follow
ing statement about Dr. Oilman:
“When I first arrived at Wisconsin
ns a member of the faculty of law
and political science, the one domi
nant personality whose influence
was first felt by the newcomers
was tl^at of Stephen \V. Oilman,
then professor of business adminis
tration. It majde little difference
whato students yolf met, in what
school they were enrolled, or where
their major Interests^ lay, they re
ceived inspiration from Stephen W.
Oilman, whom they adored, honored
and respegted. Very seldom, if
ever, have I been in an institution
where one man for so long was the
idol of the student body.
“This was due to his marvelous
ability as teacher in the class rodm,
to the genuine sincerity that never
was questioned, and to his magnetic
personality and the friendship
which he bestowed so generously
upon every student that he deemed
worthy:
“Wherever students of Wisconsin
are gathered together on any occa
sion, the name of Steve Gilman is
always spoken with that combina
tion of affection and esteem which
his many years of service to the
students of Wisconsin have so justly
merited. I am eager for our stu
dents to leara something of his
capacity for enriching friendship
and something of his loyalty to high
ideals and to worthy enterprise.”
Dr. Gilman holds three degrees,
those of L.L.B. and C.P.A-. from the
University of Wisconsin, and L.L.D.
from Franklin college. lie has been
engaged in the management of cor
porations and was the consulting
accountant' of President Taft ’s in
quiry ink) the efficiency and econ
omy in the United States* govern
,ment in 1910. He holds membership
in three htfhorarv fraternities, Phi
Delta Phi, Beta Gamma Sigma, and
Sigma Phi, and is a member of the
Political Economy club.
l)r. Gilman is now on a lecture
tour amP lias just closed a three
months’ speaking engagement with
the Pacific. Gas and Electric Co.
He will return to San Francisco this
week to fulfill engagements there.
Juanita, Oskins, sophomore in
music, will play a violin solo at the
beginning of the assembly hour.
Rev. A. II. Saunders of the Presby
terian church will give the invoca
tion, and Dean James H. Gilbert,
head of the school of literature,
science, and the arts, will preside.
Tax Case Decision
Still Forthcoming,
Hugh Biggs Learns
The fight of college fraternities
to obtain exemption from property
tax payment under the same ruling
which exempts lodges and other like
organizations is yet undecided ac
cording to Hugh Biggs, dean of
men.
Ho recently received a letter from
Ralph Cake, who with Lamar Tooze
is representing the fraternities,
which offers some hope for a suc
cessful conclusion of the 'ease. Cake
pointed out in the letter that if
the taxes are paid now they can
not be retrieved, but if the deci
sion is adverse, the late payment
will also call for a penalty.
The fight was begun last spring
when a Willamette fraternity con
tested tax payment as a test case.
The case was decided against the
fraternities in the Marion #circuit
court. An appeal is now on the
docket of the state supreme court at
Salem.
George S. Turnbull
Absent for First Time
Absent for the first time during
his whole teaching career at the
university 'on account of sickness,
George 8. Tu.nbull, professor of
journalism, was confined to his
home Wednesday with a slight at
tack of indigestion. t’rofessor
Turnbull has been teaching here
twelve years.
He is resuming his work today.
'Congress' Heads
Elected at Meeting
Baum p's Law Discussed;
Knight Opens Session
Congress club officers for next
term were elected ;it llieir meeting
held lust night fit Ihe College Side
Inn. Roland Fryer, sophomore in
[ire-law, was elected president; Rill
Knight, sophomore in pre-law, vice
president; Wayne Robinson, junior
in business ad, secretary; George
Todd, freshman in math, treasurer;
G. Allan lielioni, junior in pre-law,
parliamentarian; lion Campbell, jui.
ior in sociology, sergeant-at-arms.
Bill Knight introduced the sub
ject of the Baunie’s law, which was
discussed by the group. “There is
no problem in our country today
like the organized crime problem,”
the speaker stated.
“One of the best and most effec
tive attempts to break up the crime
wave is the habitual criminal law,
which provides that a person con
victed of four felonies be sentenced
to life imprisonment on the grounds
that he is an habitual criminal. Tdie
law is intended to arrest the activi
ties of the men who live criminal
lives and make a business of it, and
the law is doing good in the several
states which so far have adopted
it,” Mr. Knight said.
The n?gativc argued that the law’
will only tend to organize the crim
inals, that the “big men” of the
criminal world have no fear of the
law', that it will create leniency
among judge's and juries in render
ing verdifts.

Art Student Makes Plant
Models for Biology Use
Miss Mildred A. Pike, senior in
art, is making a greatly enlarged
set of models of parts of various
plants for the use of students in
the plant biology department. Miss
Pike, who is working on problems
in botany, models the sections of
the plants in wax, casts them in

ing a section of a flower, showing
the process of fertilization, and will
continue her work in modeling until

Socialist Views
Of Bernard Shaw
Aired by Laidler
Local Liberal Club Brings
New York Author and
Leeturer to C a m p u s
George Bernard Shaw's socialis
tic ideas arc not radical', according
to Harry W. Laidler, Ph.D. of New
York, author and lecturer who spoke
at Villard hall last night. Ills sub
ject was, “Bernard Shaw and Mod
ern Socialism.”
“Shaw,” said Mr. Laidler, “Be
lieves in a community where tho
principal industries are publicly
owned. He says there should be
some privately owned and develop
ed industries, but the system as a
whole should not be on an individ
ual basis.” •
Mr. Laidler stated that Shaw is
bitterly opposed to social parasites,
and inherited fortunes. The great
reformer stands for a program of
municipality, and compensation ac
eSrding to deed.
Shaw is a member of the Fabian
socialist society of England. He op
posed II. G. Wells, who is also a
member, in the belief that the Fab
ian society should be developed in
to a great mass movement. Shaw
says it should bo a select group,
briefly, for intellectual persons
only.
Shaw maintains, according to Mr.
Laidler, that to speak intelligently
on socialism one must be well versed
on a great variety , of sub jects.
The lecture was sponsored by the
local Liberal club.

'Craig’s Wife’ Will Be Presented
At Guild Theater Tonight at 8:15
At last “Craig’s Wife,” tho play
that everyone lias been waiting to
see, is going to be produced tonight
Grace Gardner
and Friday nts
at the Guild Hull.
The east has spent
it he | mat few days
putting in those
last minute fin
ishing touches and
making those final
arrange me nts
which will make
the performance
as near as pos
sible of the kind
George Kelly, the
author, would like to see it.
The actors showed at the dress
rehearsal Tuesday night that they
had really “got into” their parts.
They showed no evidence of stsgi
ness or inexperience except that of
course they were still learning some
of their lines.
Mrs. Craig, as she will be por
trayed by Grace Gardner Friday
night, is the most despicable house
wife imaginable. Her coldness and
her fanatical regard for' cleanliness
would make the hands of any audi
ence itch to “get at” her somehow.
Helen Allen takes the same part
Thursday night. It will be very
interesting for those who enjoy
character portrayal to attend the
play both nights to sec how the lead
is interpreted by these two differ
ent girls. The two characterizations
of Walter Craig and the maid,
Mazie, will be interesting for the
same reason.
Perry Douglas plays Mr. Craig
: tonight and Cordon Stearns per*
! forms in the same role Friday night.
The part of Mazie will be taken by
Luelia Andre tonight and by Joy
Ingalls Friday. The rest of the east
will act both nights. Mrs. Ottilie
T. Seybolt has taken charge of all
directing.
The stage setting has been very
well arranged and the stage craft
class deserves a great deal of credit
for their work, says Mrs. Seybolt.
All in all the play is one that no one
should miss. It is a more than aver
age step forward in the drama work
on this campus. It is a stride.
