game held in Portland, the East
side Commercial club of Portland
had a “University Day’’ program
at its regular meeting last Wed
nesday. Burt Brown Barker, uni
versity vice-president, wras the
principal speaker at the lunch
eon, and Jack Benefiel. graduate
manager of the A. S. U. O., Tom
Stoddard, president of the stu
dent body, and Paul Hunt, chair
man of the Greater Oregon com
mittee, also spoke to the members
of the club.
C. C. Colt, senior member of the
Aboard of higher education and
former member of the board of
regents of the university, was the
chairman for “University day” and
introduced the speakers. Jack
Benefiel stressed the value of the
Hawaiian football game to the
city of Portland, showing how
road will might bring commer
cial routes to that city.
Sec.-, Cains Benefits
Par; Cunt outlined the work of
the Greater Oregon committee
throughout tbs state, and ho‘also
told about the personnel and the
chances of the Oregon team
cgainst Hawaii in the November
23 contest. Stoddard spoke on
University of Oregon student
governing plans and talked on the
Hawaiian rnrh of u:e coming
game.
'Does it mean anything to
you.’’ was the title ox Vice-presi
dent Barker's speech, in which ho
brought out the wealth cf mater
iel to be obtained at the univer
sity and its benefit to the state of
Oregon. . He asked, “Does it mean
anything to you that our business
administration school stands so
high in the country that W'e can
exchange professors with that of
Harvard university, considered to
be the best school of business ad
ministration in the country?”
The vice-president went on to
state that the university school of
music this year received six Juil
lard scholarships, although only
two were asked for. After an ex
amination of the local school of
music the conservatory decided to
award the four additional scholar
ships. Only forty-six schools in
the country received these schol
larships.
Medical School Gets Gift
The medical school of the uni
versity received $400,000 from the
Rockefeller Foundation this year
without solicitation of any kind,
Mr. Barker stated. This money
was given to the medical school
, entirely as a result of careful in
vestigation of the school, its loca
tion. and its faculty. “Does this
mean anything to you?” the vice
president asked.
The “University day” program
was sponsored by Henry R. Zim
merman, of the Citizen’s bank.
John B. H"nt, Liberty Coal and
ice company, and Charles Hall,
president of the Eastside Com
mercial club.
TOPIC CHOSEN FOR
WOMEN DEBATORS
• Resolved, that the modern di
version of women from the home
to business and industrial occupa
tions is detrimental to society,”
is the question which has been
tentatively chosen for varsity and
freshman women debators to use
throughout the coming debate sea
son.
‘ If there is any woman who ob
jects strenuously to speaking on
the far-flung topic of disarma
ment, she may arrange to use the
question to be debated by both the
varsity and freshman women de
bate teams,'’ explained Walter F-.
Hempstead, of the public speak
ing department.
C. DlJNEAR WRITES
OF W ORK I\ HAITI
‘‘To the upper class any sort or
work is distar ef”’ .-ad we have
• uie students to come t
school.”
( The above quotation is an ex
cerpt from a letter to Dr. Warren
D. Smith, head of the geology de
partment, from Clarence P. Dun
bar, Oregon graduate who works
for the department of agriculture
of the Republic of Haiti.
Concerning the reluctant stu
dents the letter states further:
“Their idea of education is to
teach Latin and Greek and
French. Their idea of work is not
a job but a position with a white
collar and live by graft and pull.
Of his work with the agricul
ture department since he left Eu
gene in June, Mr. Dunbar wrote:
j “Our service is interesting, and I
am getting lots of good exper
ience. My job is quite varied as
I am part chemist and geologist,
fire chief and a few more odd jobs,
I really enjoy what I am doing,
i and of course, like everyone else,
I like my pay check.”

at the McDonald—
“The Saturday Night Kid” at

splendid chance to shine as a wise
cracking saleslady in a big city
department store. Clara’s curves
are still dangerous and she is still
red haired enough to swing a wild

resume of all her charms.

i AT THE COLONIAL—
“Show People" at the Colonial
is a comedy farce guaranteed to
make frozen faces relax into cher

minded have day dreams for
weeks to come. Marion Davies
and William Haines may seem too
goodlooking to be funny but see

Four Watchmen
Guard Campus;
Frosh Vacation
University Hires Men To
Keep Pioneer, Seal
From Vandalism
“The university offered to hire
three or four extra night watch
men, oo we advised the freshmen
rot to guard the campus last night
or tonight,” stated Hugh Biggs,
acting dean of men, yesterday,
hi giving the reason whv the
Tosh were not guarding the cam
pus on those nights when they
had done so Tuesday.
"The extra watchmen are being
Rationed at the Oregon seal, the
Bioneer statue, and other points
on the campus ordinarily at
tacked before the big game. We
thought that it would bo unneces
sary for the frosli to undertake
this job loo.”
Bean Bigg:, said that the big
job for the freshmen this week
was building the bonfire on Skin
ner’s butte and guarding the “O,”
and that the university officials
wanted them to conserve their en
ergies for that affair.
Every year soon after the an
nual Homecoming game a number
of the freshmen develop rather
serious physical ailments, Biggs:
said, and the concern of the ad
ministration has been such that
all possible precautions are being ’
taken to prevent similar results
this year. The administration in
asking that the frosh not guard
the campus was merely asking
them not to do something that
was unnecessary, the dean stated.
MANY TO BE HERE
FOR BREAKFAST
More than 20 alumni of the lo
cal chapter of Theta Sigma Bhi,
national women’s journalism hon
orary, have already expressed
their intention of attending the
Homecoming breakfast to be given
in their honor this week by the
active members of the chapter. ;
The breakfast will be at the An
chorage Sunday morning at 9
o'clock. Wilma Beater, Marian
Lowry, and Elise Schroeder arc in
charge of arrangement! for the
affair.

ROOK ON RELIGION
CONKLIN'S LATEST
A textbook entitled, “The. Psy
chology of Religious Adjustment,"
has been written by Dr. Edmund
3. Conklin, head of the psychol
ogy department of the University
of Oregon, and will be off the
press this month by the MacMil
lan company.
This new book on the psychol
ogy of religion aims to keen the
field o" psychology distinct from
that of theology. It is a study of
human behavior, and contains no
brief for or against any sort of
religious faith.
Dr. Conklin summarizes in his j
book the facts lie obtained about
conversion, mysticism, prophetic .
stales, ecstasies, and the like, and j
dev otes several chapters to psycho
logical analyses of prayer, hymns,
orders of worship. He also brief- j
ly discusses faith healing, growth |
changes in religious behavior and
distortions of religious behavior.
