Paper Growth Influenced by Conferences Annual Campus Meetings Better Quality of High School Papers Allen Tells of Progress Through 12 Years That the high school conferences held annually by the University of Oregon for the last twelve years probably have been more important than any other factor in influencing the growth of the high school newspaper in the state of Oregon, was the opinion ex pressed yesterday afternoon by Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism. "At the time when these con ferences were first sponsored,” said Dean Allen, "few high schools had attempted to publish news papers. Most were content to issue a monthly magazine, filled almost entirely with fiction stories and kissing jokes, and giving op portunity for only four or five of the most talented students in the school to write. Advertisements appearing in such magazines were practically worthless. Few Advantages "Few schools offered courses in newswriting, or had competent faculty advisers for weekly news papers. Therefore, the press con ferences were practically the only opportunity the students had to obtain advice on their journalistic problems." The first press conferences were held in the old frame journalism shack, since destroyed by fire, which stood just north of the present journalism building. They were attended by delegates from some ten or fifteen schools from the surrounding territory and Portland. Attendance Restricted During the first two years the conference included only press delegates, but in 1921 the Univer sity increased the scope of the conferences to include the Girls’ league and the High School Stu dent Body Officers association. News writing Students To Cover Convention Members of the 2 o’clock class in elementary newswriting will work for the Emerald today as re porters, scattering themselves over the campus at the various sessions of the high school con ference. Each of the 50 members of the class will handle one phase of the day's activities for the paper. Their stories will be edited and assembled into one by Emerald staff members, and the finished product will appear in tomorrow morning's edition. G. Moll Will Speak At Cosmopolitan Club Ernest G.

Movies Evelyn Shaner, Editor AT THE STATE— A eugenic baby for a childless family; that’s Frank Craven's big problem in ‘‘The Very Idea” at the j State theatre. Being a scientist he should be capable of most any thing. but when he selects Joe, the chauffeur, and Nora, the maid to be the model parents, the fun starts for a hilarious comedy. AT THE COLONIAL— “Loves of Casanova” is the col orful movie version of Volkoff’s stage play and shows the very es sence of Venetian romance. The seductive night scenes remind one too much of sneak dates on the mill race and make one yearn for those balmy spring nights. AT THE HEX— “The Racketeer” which opens today at the Rex is a dank, dark, murder plot; a shot, a scream, and a man lay dead-in his sweetheart’s arms. That’s enough for a start er. See the rest for yourself. at the McDonald— Rudy Vallee sings and plays his famous song hits in “The Vaga bond Lover.” But that ought not to be hard with such an adorable inspiration as Sally Blanc. The! plot is an exact counterpart of j Vallee’s life, his hopes, ambitions, j discouragement and final success AT THE HEILIG— While George Arliss is no doubt the big light of “Disraeli” and critics are busy saying nice things about his acting, we must not for get the fine work of Florence Ar liss who plays Mary, the wife of the Jewish prime minister. Her characterization is almost per fect and she breathes phe very spirit of a Victorian gentlewoman. More than one-third of the 2, 800 extra helpers used in New York postoffices during the Christmas rush this year will come from college classrooms.
