t Oregon Graduate Returns to Tell of Conditions in European Schools After Absence of Six Years - ________«_ Lewis Martin Shows Vienna Living Cheap Impossible for Students to Work Way Through Schools of Europe Co-eds Make up Small Part Of Entire Enrollment By RUFUS KIMBALL ^ Twenty-three dollars a year for fees, $5 a month for room, 50 cents a day for meals, and a total ex pense of $20 to $30 per month, everything included, is a normal budget for a student in the Uni versity of Vienna. In Constanti nople, Bulgaria, and many other parts of Europe, similar conditions prevail. In Vienna practically no students work their way through, there being over 300,000 unem ployed workers in the city at the present time. Dr. Lewis C. Martin, University of Oregon ex-’24 and until re cently a professor of psychology and sociology at Geuz Tepe col lege in Constantinople, gave the above estimates when interviewed yesterday on his experiences in ^ European education. After six years of absence from the United States, he arrived on the campus Tuesday, for a brief visit before returning to his home in The Dalles. in Europe, according to Doctor Martin, university students are very economical, and quite serious about their work. There are no fraternities or sororities, and in most cases no dormitories con nected with the institutions. In many cities, however, such as Vi enna, large independent dormi tories are maintained by the stu dents for their own use. Co-eds Small Part In most European colleges co eds make up less than 20 per cent of the student body, he declared. Being mistaken for the king of Bulgaria ^vhile driving in the coun try with a friend, and officiating in the capacity of carrier of dead k at a Communist bombing and at tempted revolution in 1925, are among the experiences enjoyed by Doctor Martin during the years he spent in the Balkans. The upris ing which he witnessed occurred in Sofia, Bulgaria, where the Com munist element, having assassi nated General Georgiev, a high of ficial in the national army, tried to bomb the church in the course of his funeral. Some Bombs Fail “The bombs in the ceiling,” Doc tor Martin explained, “went off at the appointed time, killing several high officials; but those which were laid in the basement failed to operate, and the killing, from the Communists’ viewpoint, was disappointing. In all, about 150 people were crushed by the falling roof. The king, by arriving late for the funeral, was lucky enough to escape.” Before going to Constantinople, Doctor Martin was a tutor of psy chology and sociology at the 1 American college of Sofia, Bulga ria, from 1924 to 1926. He intro duced intelligence tests into Bul garia for the first time in 1925, making up and giving an examina tion of his own authorship. This test was later adopted by the American college as a require ment for all entering students. Takes Degree at Vienna Doctor Martin took his Pli.D. degree at the University of Vienna in February and came directly to the United States, arriving in New York City a month ago. During his stay on the campus By DOROTHY THOMAS Daffodils furnished the table decorations and theme of the an nual formal Y. W. C. A. banquet which was held Tuesday evening at Lee-Duke’s. The affair honored members of the retiring and incoming cabi nets. Toasts, carrying out the daf fodil idea, were given by Mrs. C. L. Schwering, Margaret Edmun son, Eldress Judd, and Daphne Hughes. Gracia Haggerty was in ! charge of arrangements for the j banquet. * * Si Delta Zeta Entertains Province President In honor of Mrs. Alice Wieman, of Portland, province president of Delta Zeta, members of the sor ority will entertain this evening with a formal dinner at the chap ter house. Alumnae and patron esses will be special guests for the occasion. Mrs. Wieman arriyed in Eugene on Tuesday. Her visit with the local chapter will end Thursday night. * * * Green-iVlcAllister Howard Green of Portland, first year student in the law school, was married on March 23, to Miss Audrey McAllister. The wedding was held in Portland at the home of the bride who was graduated from the Oregon State normal at Monmouth last spring. Mr. Green, is employed in the circulation de partment of the library. he was a guest of Sigma Pi Tau, of which he is a member. He is leaving this morning for The Dalles, where he will spend the rest of the summer ranching. As his plans now stand, Doctor Mar tin will teach in America next year and probably return to Bul garia in the fall of 1931. Named Secretary Rex Tussing, junior in journal ism, was elected secretary of Sig ma Delta Chi, to take the place of Clarence Craw, who left school at the end of last term. A meeting will be held a week from Thursday, at which Dean Collins, well known writer for the Portland Telegram, has been ask ed to speak. Preliminary details concerning the publication of the Green Goose, scandal sheet published at the end of spring term each year by Sigma Delta Chi, were discussed yester day. It was decided that the- pa per should be of tabloid size of at least 12 pages. A study of the relations between the United States and the Latin American nations, has led a group of Princeton university students to recommend that the Monroe Doctrine be amended, to make it clearer to both Americans and South Americans, what is exactly meant by the terms of the docu ment. Penn State announces that it will admit 1225 freshmen next fall. DR. J. R. WETHERBEE Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Office Phone 1601 Residence 1230-M 801-2-3 Miner Bldg.

Come in and try our French Play Sparkles Wit 0 Too Subtle For Audience By CAROL HI RLBI RT “Unhappiness comes to him who sins," says the Abbe in the French ; play given last night in Guild the atre, and Leopold answers, “There was only one sin and that was Eve’s.-’ This was one of the lines of subtlety from “Leopold, le Bien I Aime.’’ The play was well done, the main objection being that the humor, as spoken in French, was too far above the heads of most of the audience to be very amus j inE It was a sophisticated comedy with little action, the plot revolv ing around the conversation. It is one of the most important plays to appear in Paris since the war. Louis Meyers, as Leopold, is al most 50 with his arteries harden ing, but he is still optimistic about cupid, and has a naughty raise to his eyebrows that is worth half the admission price. Mrs. Paulette Beall, as Marie Therese, was worth the other half of the price. She has a fascinating pair of slim feet and ankles, and a voice that is seductively allur ing. Being French, one begins to wonder about these French wo men that ex-officers talk about. L'Abbe, Charles Howell, was typical enough and a puritan in the part, but after taking a cock tail, his head was so light that he prayed le bon Dieu to send him some lead to weight it down. Arthur Gray as Monsieur Ponce left his matinee roles behind, had humped shoulders, sunken cheeks, and a dry humor. Cornelia Pipes, as a prim, old maid, was horrified beyond words, when Leopold kissed the back of her neck. Dick Givens, contrary to all every-day actions, was mis ty eyed in love. Janet Fitch, as Lucienne, had a very nice accent and a good understanding of her part. Patricia Howell, as Felicie, made a true Frepcli bonne, clumsy footed, wooden-faced, and humped shouldered. Commerce Honorary Has Formal Initiation Formal initiation into Phi Chi Theta, national commerce honor ary for women, was held this week for ten. recently elected pledges. Installation ceremonies were held at the Sigma Kappa house Sun day morning, and were followed by a breakfast at the Anchorage. The new members are Gladys Benner, Gladys Collins, Josephine Jacobson, Juanita Kilborn, Alice Redetzke, Alexis Lyle, Frances Rupert, Verna Smolinsky, Marga ret Wahlstrom, and Clarisse Wit ham. Phi Beta Kappa at Ohio State university voted recently to extend membership to members of the Colleges of Commerce, Adminis tration and Education instead of restricting it to the College of Arts and Sciences.
