Students Must
Pay Fees Before
Next Week-end
Saturday, April 27, Set as
Deadline; $3.00 Fine
For Payment Delay
“Students may begin paying lab
oratory’ fees today at the registrar’s
office in Johnson hall and may eon-1
tinue doing so until Saturday, Apri’
27,” E. P. Lvon, cashier announced
yesterday. Hours will be from 8
to 12 in the morning, from 1 to 4
in the afternoon, and from 8 to 12
on Saturday.
“Every term students are regu
larly begged, urged and pleaded tc
pay their fees early,” Mr. Lyon
said, “but each time there is al
ways a last minute rush, making it
impossible for us to handle all of
them. This term we are hoping that
a large number will not wait until
the final day .jam ns they have
done previously but will start in to
pay immediately.”
The penalty for late payment fee
will be $3.00 for the first late day
with an additional 25 cents for each
subsequent day. University regula
tions also provide that accounts paid
bv checks later returned N. S. F
shall be considered unpaid and sub
ject to the same penalties as late
payments. No checks will be ac
cepted during the rest of the term
from students having bad checks re
turned.
Social Ideas
Of Russia
Stand High
Other Countries Could
Imitate Ideals With
Profit, Says Barnes
By CAROL HURLBURT
The rest of the world would bo
better off in some respects if she
would pattern herself after Russia.
Such is the opinion of Dr. Walter
C. Barnes, professor of history, who
yesterday gave the Emerald an in
terview on Russia, the second in a
series of foreign countries to be dis
cussed by the Emerald in the in
terests of International Week.
“Russia's social ideas are a chal
lenge .to us on the intellectual and
moral plane rather than on the mil
itary,” he stated.
“Her insistence that industry and
society should be organized for the
benefit of the poorer classes, and
her recent suggestions for interna
tional disarmament show her free
dom from tradition and her ability
to bring up issues which honest
people can no longer evade.
“Personally, I think that the mil
itaristic states and the capitalistic
societies could do nothing better
than make many generous conces
sions to Russian ideals.
“I am not advocating the adoption
of a ready-made system,” lie ex
plained, “although I think we could
weave many of their measures into
our present system.
“England and Germany have al
ready adopted a number of Bolshe
vistic measures — usually, however,
without labels. But what we need
most is a broad sympathy with these
aims.
“Iii America it is still a sign or
elegance and success to make a dis
play of wealth. In Russia the dis
play of wealth is considered cad
dish and vulgar. A little of this
feeling has already grown up in
England, but not yet in democratic
America.”
* * *
ITow far are the United States
and Russia likely to influence each
other?
“Not very much,” according to
Dr. Barnes.
“The two countries are very
much alike, but the two peoples are
almost opposite.
“The Russians have tried to imi
tate American industrial organiza
tion. They have imported farm and
factory machines from America, and
the pictures of Russian leaders show
them wearing the American style of

Chinese Present
French Comedy
Professor Recalls Giving
‘Materia" ia English
Could a group of American uni
versity students take n great Jap
anese play and act it in a Chinese
translation? Well, it’s not the kind
of thing they’d do every day any
way.
But nine years ago, in Tsing-Tlua,
Peking university, China, a group
of Chinese students took Moliere’s
“Le Medeein le Malgre Lui,” great
est of all French farces, and gave
it in an English translation, made
by one of their professors.
That professor was A.Vnold 11.

Francis Granger,
Oregon Student,
Sought by Friends
Sophomore Left Campus
Last Saturday in
Hired Car
Boy Believed Somewhere
In California
Francis II. Granger, sophomore in
biology, lias boon missing since.early
Saturday morning, when he drove
away from Omega hall in a rented
ear. His destination was not known
to anybody, but police officials be
lieve it somewhere in California.
He had been on the campus only
a short time, having transferred
from the University of Washington
at the beginning of the spring term.
He is known to have rented a
Buick sedan from Taylor’s garage
several times prior to his disap
pearance. He rented it early Sat
urday morning, and has not been
seen since.
The Lane county officials are
doing all in their power to locate
the boy, urged oil by his brother
who is county dork of Yakima,
county, Washington. Ilis parents,
Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Granger of
Yakima, are worrying a great deal
about him, as he i^ known to have
spells of despondency, and members
of Omega hall know he purchased a
.45 caliber automatic, from a local
hardware store which is the only
thing missing from his room. His
parents say a trip of this kind is
contrary to his mental state, and
they fear attempted suicide.
County officials traced the car to
the city limits of Myrtle Creek
where it was found in the ditch so
badly smashed that the owners
were unable to tow it in when it was
located late Monday. The car was
wrecked while Granger was trying
to pass another auto. Presumably
unhurt, Douglas county officials as
sume that Granger boarded the
stage there and continued south.
Granger was a quiet, reserved fel
low, and in his three weeks’ stay
in Omega hall did not make friends
or exchange confidences. Nobody
has been able to establish any mo
tive for his leaving.
Officials in California have been
notifed to watch for him.
He evidently planned this ven
ture thoroughly before hand as he
had been getting together all the
cash available, for the last week.
His clothes were left undisturbed
in Omega hall, and lie left behind
no known debts.

Fate of Amendments
John M. Garvan
Real Authority,
Says Dr. Smith
Lecturer Knows Pigmies
Through Close Study
Of Savage People
Geology Department Head
Friend of Explorer
“T have known tho whimsical phil
osopher, John Garvan, for tho past
10 years, and I know him to lie an
authority' on his subject in spite of
the fact lie objects to the term on
the grounds that it stands ‘too
puffy, papal and pontifical’,” hh
Warren D. Smith, head of the geol
ogy department, said yesterday in
speaking of his friend Mr. John JNi.
Garvan, author and explorer, who
will give an illustrated lecture on
“Our Philippine Pygmies” at the
Woman's building Thursday even
ing at 8 o’clock, as a part of the
International Week.
“I have gone over part of the
same field as Garvan, but never
at the same time,” Dr. Smith con
tinued. “In some of the rougher
districts, where, the least the na
tives threaten is ‘to eat your liver’,
I considered I’d left nothing there,
and so need go after nothing.
Lives With Savages
Tint Mr. Graven penetrated the
wilds, has sought out the pygmies
and either bribed or threatened
them into a semblance of friend
ship. This “American Trader Horn,”
as Dr. Smith described him, has ex
perienced many real dangers in order
to live with the savages and learn
some of their dialects. At present.
Mr. Garvan is writing what will be
“the most exhaustive treatise eve'1
written on the pygmy.”
Before beginning his research into
conditions of the pygmies, Mr. Gar
van took his master of arts degree
at Trinity college, Dublin. In Eng
land or Ireland, such a degree is
equal to our I’ll. D.
To Speak in Class
In 1900 he began his observations
as ethnologist for the bureau of
science, Manilla. At present he is
research associate at the University
of California in the department of
anthropology.
Besides his lecture Thursday night,
Mr. Gary.in will speak before Dr.
Smith’s 11 o’clock geography class
on “The China that the Tourist
Never Sees,” and will discuss “Mar
riage Customs of Primitive Peoples”
at a Friday luncheon of the sociol
ogy majors.
Superintendents Visit
School of Education
Several school superintendents of
Oregon cities have called at the
appointment bureau of the univer
sity school of education in the last

appointment of new teachers for
the next school year. Among those
who have come to Eugene for this
purpose were W. E. Buell, superin
tendent at Estacada and superin
tendent-elect at Springfield; Robert
Goetz, Silverton; W. M. Campbell,
Roseburg; L. W. Turnbull, North
