Hall’s Report to Regents
States Sueeess of
New Venture
Bright College Students
May Graduate Early
To assist students in their se
lection of courses and to advise
them on their many problems is
the primary purpose of the newly
created personnel bureau of the
University, and to this end it has
proven quite successful, according
to a report by Dr. Arnold Bennett
Hall, president, which is to be
submitted to the board of higher
education at a meeting to be held
in Portland, January 10.
Following the mid-term grade
reports last term, about 400 indi
vidual conferences were held with
students, and many other consul
tations have taken place through
out the term. Analysis of diffi
culties and revision of • personal
programs were services rendered
, in these cases.
The personnel bureau also has
charge of the intelligence and ap
titude tests which are given en
tering students. Special attention
is paid to students who are rated
in the highest and the lowest 10
per cent.
May Have Special Work
It is possible that special work
may be recommended for those
who show special aptitude, while
for those who test low aid in keep
ing up with their work will be
given.
A proposal made in the report
by Dr. Hall would reduce the
amount of time necessary for
graduation in recognition of a
quality of university #work that
would evidence distinction, orig
inality. and maturity of judgment
of an exceptional and unusual na
ture. Since many students are
required to stay more than the
usual four years in college because
they have failed to fulfill gradua
' tion requirements, he suggests
that students who have excep
tional ability and character and
interest should be allowed to cut
down the time necessary for grad
uation. In connection with this
Dr. Hail mentions the fact that a
program of this sort would be an
aid and incentive to students whol
ly or partially self-supporting, and
would also tend to relieve the con
gestion at the University.
Works With Frosh
The personnel bureau also han
dles the program of freshman or
ientation week, at the beginning
of the school year. The honor
system is also a part of its work.
Under this system, for which Ore
gon is gaining some distinction,
about 30 per cent of the junior
class each year is made eligible for
honors work, and may, by putting
forth extra effort, earn their B.
A. degree “with honors.”
Interest in the program of the
personnel bureau is keen, both na
tionally and locally, and many
^ prominent educators have asked
to be informed of all steps in the
development going on here.

Success of “Disraeli”
Due to Arliss’ Fine
Characterization
One of the greatest plays in
the history of the American
stage has been made into a
Vitaphone production by War
ner Brothers. The play is
“Disraeli"'and this new screen
version stars George Arliss, the
masterful actor who made such
a tremendous success of the
oiiginal production. His per
formance on the screen is a
powerful one —the equal of the
finest stage performance he
ever gave in his life.
Mr. Arliss’ portrayal of “Dis
raeli” runs the gamut of char
acterization. It is a thing of
everchanging moods and there
fore fascinating in • its unex
pectedness.
Intrigue, romance, strategy
George Arliss deftly brings out
the nuance of each passing
emotion of the mysterious
super-statesman, Disraeli.

AT THE HKILltt—
“Disraeli" at the Heilig theatre
is truly a picture in superlatives.
Tlie acting of George Arliss Is su
perb and the .; rection equally
good. At the first glimpse, Arliss
seems to own the ugliest features
that could be collected on one face,
but after a few moments one sees
only the charm of the man, his
polished charm of manner and
ability to use the English lan
guage.
at the McDonald—
Rudy Vallee is the charming
musical idol who leads the excep
tional caste of “The Vagabond
Lover" at the McDonald theatre, i
1 Tiie feminine interest, centers in
the charming Sally Blane who
wears scads of new long dresses |
and breathes the very air of so
phistication. The stage scenes are
most gorgeous and the music, ah,
the music makes one think of
starlight nights and June roses.
AT THE RE.X—
“Married in Hollywood" is a fast
moving show, skipping from Vien
