‘NEGATIVE’ ROOTING SEE PAGE 1 SIC SEMPER VODVIL VOLUME XXXI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1930 NUMBER 55 Stipe Maps Sophomore Activities Committee Named To Meet With Calkins, Straub To Select Work CLASS NOW DORMANT Meeting of All Unaffiliated Students Planned For Future To keep the sophomore class from "dying on its feet” during the course of winter and spring terms as has heretofore been the custom, a committee under the ^ leadership of Jack Stipe, sopho more president and Elizabeth Strain, chairman, is planning to confer with Jeannette Calkins, secretary of the Alumni associa tion, and Dean Straub, for the pur pose of finding some activity, such as the Junior Vodvil or frosh bon fire, for the sophs. Stipe Explains Speaking of this plan Stipe said: "It has been the prevalent custom in former years for the sophomore class to almost entire ly cease functioning during the last two terms of the school year from lack of things to do. This year we intend to remedy this by finding some activity which should , be done on the campus but which has no organization to put it over.” Independents Considered Another thing which is to be settled in the near future, accord ^ ing to Stipe, is the status of the class members w'ho live outside of the living organizations and halls and who receive no appreciable benefit from their class affiliation. "These students pay their $1 class fee, but they seldom get to meetings, and, living outside of organizations, they usually are acquainted with few of their class members and are unable to enter into the class spirit,” said Stipe. Stipe Explains He is planning to carry out an idea whereby a list of the unaffil iated members of the class will be arranged and they will hold a mass meeting under the leadership of Carlos Teague and will discuss suggestions on class administra tion and ways in which they can receive the full benefit of their class affiliation. In the absence of Sally Runes, sophomore class secretary who was married during the Christmas vacation, Stipe has appointed Dor othy Jean Murphy to carry on the , duties of the position. One thing about listening in on these New Year’s football radio broadcasts is that whatever we learn about the opposing teams we are always sure to remember that California has climate. i i Hold Everything or Sit Down and Slide; More Cold Forecast • _« • » W/ARNING: Do not pour wa '" ter on your front steps to night—not even warm water.

With our mind on the startling things said lately by those in charge of the produc tion, we went last night to the dress rehearsal. From 11 p. m. to 4 a. m. is a long time, and our patience wa3 short, so it is well that it was good. We can safely predict great things of this play, since it kept us awake through those long cold hours of early morning. And cold it was, in the Heilig theatre. It was a shame to cover those beautiful formals with fur coats, those lovely tuxedos with top coats. Play Sparkles “The Last of-Mrs. Cheyney” al most sparkled last night. It would have sparkled, had the players not been so bundled in wraps. Even then the brilliance of the lines shone through, and now and then some one of those on the stage dazzled us with a flash of acting. Every time Jimmy Lyons walk ed on the stage the atmosphere became electric. He was excel lent, alive. It seems that Master Lyons is stealing the play . . . Nancy Thielsen was beautiful, but we knew she would be . . . Jewel TEllis smoked cigarettes with rare abandon . .. Hopkins Good Marshall Hopkins afforded real comedy. His lines were good, and his portrayal excellent ... In fact, he didn’t wane even when dawn broke down the street. He was still funny . . . Cecil Matson was sufficiently dapper and suave . . . almost svelte, especially is his boudoir scene . . . But imagine anyone really being glad to see him in her bedroom! Florence McNerney was impres sive, almost startling in the stage lights. She looked sardonic . . . Loleta Jaeger was a good sweet woman very convincingly . . . Karl Klippel was smooth in his portrayal. He was almest feline in his suggestion of hidden things. Allow Late Permission Director Cecil Matson beamed, and said that the dean of women had granted late permission for women'who wished to attend. He also said that the time was, em phatically and undeniably, 8:15, the day Wednesday, and the place the Heilig theatre. But through it all he beamed. He was happy. He joined us in predicting a suc cess. Jn fact, we were all happy, in a tired sort of way, as we walked out into the early morning and to breakfast across the street.

He is a member of Miss Lillian Tin gle’s camp cooking class which recently had its first lesson in biscuit baking. One enthusias tic housewife, beholding the champ’s fluffy marvels, admit ted that she had never equalled them herself, after years of practise.

The Idaho team started right off on their scoring spree and had scored seven points before Vine Dolp opened the Oregon scor ing, with a field goal. me vanaais men rau me score up, leading at one time as much as 19 to 6. At this point billy Reinhart made some substi tutions which bolstered the Ore gon defense and the score at half time was 23 to 17. Home# Dickson, who was sent in to replace' Gene Eberhart at center Just prior to the half time gun, was a bit nervous at first but soon steadied down, to play an air-tight defensive game, sel dom allowing the opposing centerr to take a shot. He played all of the last half as well as the clos ing minutes of the first. Stowell Leads Scorers The most outstanding man on the floor was Harold Stowell, who accounted for 18 points with eight field goals and two free throws. He was a consistent shot and capitalized on the majority of his chances at the basket. He wa3 prevented from scoring a larger total by the close guarding of Cliff Horner, who was sent in, in place of Winsor Calkins. Bill Keenan was the scoring ace of the Webfoot attack, with a to tal of 15 points to his credit. Even though his total was large, he lost out on a lot of chances, being forced to hurry hi3 shots by the close checking of the Idaho play ers.

Morse, instructor in the law school, in an editorial by him ap pearing in the December issue of the Oregon Law Review, the of ficial organ of the Oregon .State Bar association. Mr. Morse makes the criticism of the crime commis sion that it is a politically appoint ed body, whose findings will be subject to the dangers of partisan politics, since the eleven members of the commission were appoint ed by President Hoover. He also points out that ten of the eleven members were drawn from the legal profession while the other social sciences are not given rep resentation. Should Be Non partisan The belief that the commission, in order to be free from political criticism, should have been a non partisan research body like the Carnegie Foundation is expressed I by Mr. Morse. “Students Jof the problem of the administration of criminal jus tice recognize that it is not a prob lem for the judge and lawyer alone, but it is a problem which requires {he conscientious cooper ation of the sociologist, criminol ogist, psychologist, psychiatrist, economist and social worker as well as the other social scientists, and most important of all, the co operation of the individual citi zen,” states Mr. Morse in the edi torial. Should Use Sciences Hoover should turn to the social sciences for aid, in the opinion of Mr. Morse, and should not leave the problem entirely to lawyers and judges, who admit their in competence to handle crime with out the help of social scientists and the individual citizen. Mr. Morse doubts that the com mission will discover anything which has not already been found by state crime surveys, whose findings have brought little 1m ! provement to the administration | of criminal justice. The educa tion of citizenry to a higher sense of moral consciousness, and the cooperation of the social sciences are emphasized by Mr. Morse as fundamental in the solution of the crime problem.
