VOLUME XXXJ UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 21, 1930 NUMBER 82 Emerald Staff May Secure Class Credit Petition Will Be Circulated Among Reporters This ' Morning DEAN ALLEN EXPLAINS Tlieta Sigma Phi Sponsors Suggested Project; Turnbull Favors Tentative plans to secur^ aca demic credit for students working on the Emerald were set in mo tion last night when members of Theta Sigma Phi, women’s na tional journalistic honorary, pre sented a resolution to Dean Eric W. Allen, head of the school of journalism, urging that work done on the daily paper be rewarded in some fashion, preferably by Uni versity credit. A petition asking for such rec ognition will be circulated among members of the Oregon Daily Em erald staff today. This petition, when signed, will be presented to the faculty of the school of jour nalism for consideration. A joint meeting of Sigma Delta Chi, men’s international journalism frater nity, and Theta Sigma Phi will be held soon at which complete plans for the proposed change will be formulated. must sign tor ureait Dean Allen declared last night that he would be willing to talk over the matter with the students and see what could be done. No one can ever get University credit for work, he explained, unless he is signed up for it at the regis trar's office at the beginning of the term. The work done by the Emerald staff will have to be su pervised by faculty members, if ^ such a plan is carried out, he stated, and some revision of the school of' journalism policy might have to be made if such a plan were carried out. “I’m in favor of it,” Prof. George S. Turnbull, of the jour nalism school, said. “I think that it would be a good thing. I also think that it would fit in very nicely with the work of the school, and I believe that it would im prove the morale of both the press and the editing staff.” Casey Gives Opinion Dr. Ralph D. Casey, also profes sor of journalism, stated: “I should think that if the University faculty is* willing to grant voca tional credit none is better enti tled to it than persons who give service to the Emerald in some responsible position. A certain amount of experience would be a good thing before actual credit was given.” Elise Schroeder and Carl Greg ory, presidents of Theta Sigma "i Phi and Sigma Delta Chi, both expressed themselves last night as being heartily in favor of the plan. Honorary’s Views Explained “I think that it is only fair that the Emerald workers should be rewarded for the great amount of time they spend working on the paper,” Miss Schroeder declared. “University credit, if a plan agree able to both the faculty of the school of journalism and the mem bers of the Emerald staff, seems to me the logical thing. Members of the glee club, orchestra and (Continued on rage Two) Bishop To Come M_ Bishop Walter Taylor Sumi jr. head of the Episcopal church in Oregon, will pay his sixteenth visit to the University and read at the vespers Sunday afternoon in the music auditorium. Army Chief Cause Of Resignation of Primo De Rivera Spanish Government Is Explained by Oregon Language Teacher Premier Was Very Strict But Democratic “The constitutional government in Spain consists of what is called a ‘constitutional guarantee’—the Spaniard’s house is his castle and his tongue is his own. These con stitutional guarantees are always suspended during a time of crisis. During Primo de Rivera’s ‘reign’ the papers were censored.” Miss Anna Thompson, of the romance language department, on being asked to discuss the present politi cal situation in Spain, protested that she claimed no right to opin ion on the subject, and then pro ceeded to give many sidelights into the internal workings of Span ish government. “Parties in Spain are the liberal and conservative. For six years there has been no party but Primo de Rivera. As soon as a party gets into power it splits into as many wings as there are poten tial leaders.” Miss Thompson tucked one leg under her and gazed out of the window, as if to recall experiences during her ten years’ residence in Spain. Rivera became premier ten years after Miss Thompson left Spain, but she has kept well posted on Spanish politics through friends and the newspapers. “Rivera was considered a sec ond-rate man for the position of premier, but in 192 when he seized the reins of government the prov ince of Catalan was planning a revolution and Andalusia was hav ing agrarian problems. The only people with a program of any kind —a very destructive program— were the socialists. There was no one else to take hold of the gov ernment.” Rivera was very democratic in many ways, according to Miss Thompson, and even gave inter views. There were a number of underlying causes to his resigna tion. The army, which was his chief support as premier, was be (Continued on Page Two) "Men Folk” Is Outstanding Play of Thursday Matinee “Men Folk” by Colin Campbell | 4 Clements was undoubtedly the best of the three one-acts pre sented at the matinee held in Guild theatre yesterday afternoon. This story of the life of .women whose men have been lost ^at sea was ably portrayed by Pauline o Prigmore, as the old granny; Joyce Herbert as the young wife Rose; and Marian Camp as the hardened mother “Jinny.” Miss Prigmore very capably fulfilled her part, and Miss Herbert shows promise. Marian Camp was the outstanding individual not only of this play but also of the after noon. She held her audience throughout with her hard, unre ^ lenting, bitter mood, to the line that caused many a tearful eye, “This is aU that is left of David.” Celine Lauterstein was her usual vivacious and entertaining self in the part of the little girl in “Nevertheless” by Stuart Walker. Willard Jensen chose and cast well this comedy of two children being punished for their use of incor rect English. Don Carver, as the boy, both looked and acted most convincingly. Gene Love played typically the role of the burglar. “The Seige” by Colin Clements, was cast from students of Eugene high school, by Dorothy Smith. A very creditable performance was given of a play that is difficult even for professionals. Miss Peggy Reynolds was very good in her in terpretation of the Arab girl Zan ab. Ardath Hutchinson and Cecile Tuttle played well into the back ground. SororityTour Is Alpha Phi’s Radio Feature Music ami Dialogue Add Spice to Thursday KORE Program HABERLACH DIRECTS Fifth' Week of Contest Offered by Emerald Concluded "Sorority Syncopation,” or a trip through a typical sorority house on the University of Oregon campus was conducted by Alpha Phi Thursday evening over KORE in the Emerald-KORE radio con test series. The Alpha Phi per formance, under the direction of Carolyn Haberlach, closed the fifth week in the competition for the 9-tube radio set offered by McMorran and Washburne. The interesting and melodious tour through the house was led by Gladyia Foster and Flavell Hay ner. Different musical numbers issued appropriately from the va rious rooms from the reception hall on the way in until the same hall was reached on the way out. The numbers were joined with de lightful dialogues which enlivened the act and gave continuity to the performance. Is Only Contestant Alpha Phi was the only contest ant on the air Thursday evening, Sigma Alpha Mu having with drawn from the contest. The numbers included in the Sorority Syncopation were: “Turn on the Heat,” a piano solo by Carolyn Haberlach. “From the Cane Brake” and “Love's Greeting,” two violin se lections by Alladine Hollister. A Swedish dialogue by Elise Sundbom and Helen Osburn. “Nobody’s Using.Jt Now,” a vo cal duet by Flavell Hayner and Gladys Foster. "Sorority Subtleties,” a collection of jokes and wise-cracks by a group of girls, followed by an ac cordian solo by Lucille Murphy. Ballads Played A medley of ballads on the piano by Gladys Foster. "If I Can’t Have You” and “Love Ain’t Nothing But the Blues,” sung by a vocal trio com posed of Carolyn Haberlach, Fla vell Hayner, and Gladys Foster. Selections from past Junior Vodvils played on the piano by Gladys Foster and Carolyn Haber lach. Gladys Foster is a former pian ist for KEX in Portland. Regular broadcasts will be held again Monday evening. Junior Shine Day Postponed Until Weather Changes Rain Makes Construction Of Stands Impossible, Says Pittman Junior Shine day, which was to have been held today, has been postponed until some time next week when weather conditions are more favorable, Bill Pittman, gen eral chairman for the affair, an nounced yesterday. Rainy weather the past few' days has made it impossible to con struct stands, and predictions of more rain for today made it nec essary to put off the event. A number of tickets have al ready been sold to students, but these may be used next week. The actual date for Shine day will be set within the next few days. Last Day To Withdraw From School ^ Today Today is the last day that one may withdraw from the Univer sity by the regular procedure of obtaining cards from the offices of the deans of men and women, etc., according to announcement from the registrar’s office. After to morrow, anyone wishing to with draw from school this term must petition to do so, and before he is allowed to leave, his petition must be granted by the commit tee which considers these cases. Jeannette Calkins Expresses Views on Former Oregon Women Graduates; "Judged by Mhny Ideas ” She Says Ellen MeCornack and Esther Lovejoy Head List of Outstanding Alums; Known for Work In Special Fields What women graduates of the University of Oregon are out standing in the fields of work they have entered? This is a question which, in the opinion of Jeannette Calkins, edi tor of Old Oregon, is very difficult to answer correctly in as much as Oregon has not only produced many splendid* women graduates, but at the same time, its alumni are, in many cases, too young to have reached the zenith of their successes. “One must always consider,” Miss Calkins said, “that such a report may be judged from differ ent standards. What may seem outstanding to one may not ap pear so to another; and likewise, accomplishments in one line of work may be small In comparison with those in some other, and yet noteworthy in themselves.” Among the women graduates of Oregon that have attained varying degrees of success, Miss Calkins mentioned the following as repre sentative of what has been done, and is being done by Oregon alumnae. Mrs. Ellen Condon McCornack, who died December 28 of last year, was graduated in the first class to receive degrees, that of 1878. With a B.S. degree from here, she was awarded the honorary degree of a M.A. for public service in 1920. Mrs. McCornack was an out standing scholar, writer, and an authority on the geology of Ore gon. She was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi. “Thomas Condon, Pioneer Geol ogist of Oregon,” “Contributions to the Pleistocene History of Ore gon,” and “Students’ Geological Map of Oregon" are among her books. Dr. Esther Pohl Lovejoy, who received her M.D. from Oregon in 1894, has been another outstand (Continued on Page Two) $6,000 Bequeathed To University in McCornack Will Donor Was Daughter of Thomas Condon, the Noted Geologist Entire Sum To Be Used For Fellowships University of Oregon receives $6,000 for a fellowship in Paleon tology under the will of Mrs. Ellen Condon McComack, who was one of the first graduates. The pa pers jygje fijed for probate Wed nesday.,. ; Mrs. McCornack was the daugh ter; of the noted geologist. She wae> actively engaged in geology wdflg, and" helped Professor Con dot!' ifl both his research work and in .the writing of numerous books. Mrs, McCornack was author of several books dealing with Oregon geological subjects. Provision of Will The provision of the will relat ing to her bequest to the Univer sity reads: “To the regents of the University of Oregon and to their successors in office, I give and bequest the sum of $6,000, as a permanent fund for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a fellowship, to be known as the Thomas Condon fellowship in pal eontology; the interest from said fund, only to be used or expended in maintaining such fellowship; said fund to be safely loaned or invested in unquestionable securi ties or bonds by the University comptroller or such officer as the regents shall designate. Instructors To Chooqp "The recipient of this fellowship shall be chosen by the instructor in paleontology, with the approval of the head of the department of geology and the president of the University, the proceeds from such funds may be used annually, but in case no suitable candidate offers or is selected, the proceeds may be allowed to accumulate for not more than three yeai;s, the ac cumulation to be at tlie disposal of the department of geology or of paleontology, if the departments are ever separated for paleontol ogy work. “The Thomas Condon Fellowship shall be open, not only to those doing graduate work, but also to seniors in the University of Ore gon." All Campus Dance To Be Given by Sophs The meeting of the executive council of the associated students held Tuesday of this week, author >ized the sophomore class to hold an all campus dance at the Campa Shoppe, on Saturday, March 1, the proceeds of which will go to the furnishing of a room in the proposed new infirmary. This was the only business of any im portance transacted by the coun cil at the meeting, according to Tom Stoddard, president of the associated students. First Elimination For Contestants To Be Next Week _ Forty Students Working on Annual Wilson Jewett Prize Contest Speeches Best in History, Says Shumaker The Wilson Jewett Prize Ora torical contest held every year for students who are studying a. course in written English required of all prelegal students will reach the stage of preliminary eliminations early next week, according to Ken neth Shumaker, instructor. Seven Enter Finals Forty men and one woman have been working on their prize ora tions ever since the first of the term, and they are now ready to be delivered in the preliminary contest in which the seven best orations will be chosen for par ticipation in the finals which will be held the second week of the spring term. The final contest is always very formal, says Mr. Shu maker. It is open to the public. The time and place are yet to be announced. The orations are all the original work of the students and are on self-picked subjects and of ten minutes duration. Some of the subjects, Mr. Shumaker announces, are purely theoretical and philo sophical, while others are on such topics as the jury system, the U. S. constitution, the tariff, etc. Faith Barber, the only woman participant, has chosen “The Re lation of Women to the Prohibi tion Question.” • Competition Keen ‘‘Since the contest represents a whole term's actual academic work,” said Mr. Shumaker, “it is of considerable importance beyond being an oratorical contest mere ly. The speeches show more promise than any since I have been connected with the Univer sity, and competition will be keen and close, since there are a num ber of prominent debators and or ators in the class.” This contest was established about 1925 by Hugh Rosson, pro fessor of law who was at that time debate and oratory coach, for giving pre-law students actual experience in public speaking. Survey of Oregon Commerce Received The last edition of Oregon’s Ex portable Surplus, compiled by Al fred L. Lomax of the Portland ex tension division and Theodore N.

This survey includes surplus statistics on dairy products, poul try and poultry products, live stock and livestock products, field crops and salmon.

Are they? Here on the campus there are faculty members, keenly alert to tidings from the session, who are wondering just how the American stand in the conference will read when it reaches the cooler pages of history. Views of varying tone fqund expression yesterday when several University Instructors were ques tioned by a reporter. Edgar E. DeCou, head of the mathematics department, looks , with approving eyes at the United States policy. “Heartiest support of the president seems to me the right attitude,” he said. “I think we need to hold our opinions in abeyance till the outcome is reached. Maneuverings do not in dicate what is underneath the surface. Knowing the earnestness of Hoover and Mr. Stimson and the equal sincerity of Mr. McDon ald, I don’t think we should judge by the opinion of little groups. We should await the final action.” Walter Barnes, professor in his tory, had this to say: “McDonald has had rather a hard time doing anything in the naval conference. When he wanted to scrap battle ships he had Stimson against him, and when he wanted to reduce submarines he had Tardieu against (Continued on Page Three)
