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. Dr. Harold R. Taylor, in his psy (Continued on Page Three) 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.

'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.

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.
