AWS-Kwama Tea
Will Honor Deans
Next Wednesday
Two Groups Combine for
Formal Event; All
Women Invited
One of the features of the As
sociated Women Students-Kwama
tea to be given Wednesday from
3 to 5 in Alumni hall is that it is
really two teas in one.
In past years it has been the
custom for members of Kwama,
sophomore honorary, to give a for
mal tea for the dean of women.
It was also traditional for the As
sociated Women Students to enter
tain at tea honoring the foreign
scholar.
This year there is no foreign
scholar, since it was voted last
spring by the A. W. S. to pay the
debt on Peters lodge out of the :
fund ordinarily used to support a
foreign scholar rather than pay
interest on the borrowed money.
A foreign scholar will be brought
to the campus again next year.
So the A. W. S. and members
of Kwama got together and de
cided to have a big formal tea
honoring Mrs. Hazel Prutsman
Schwering, dean of women, and
Mrs. Alice B. Macduff, assistant
dean of women.
Plans for the tea are being com
pleted rapidly, according to Vir
ginia Grone, in charge. Mrs.
George T. Gerlinger, former re
gent of the University and still
an active supporter of its inter
ests, is to be in the receiving line
with the honor guests.
Twelve tables will be set in the
sun porch adjoining to serve guests
at the tea. Individual center
pieces of flowers will be placed on
each table. Fall leaves will be
used for decorations in Alumni
hall. Members of Kwama, Mortar
Board, and Thespian will serve.
All women on the campus are
invited to this tea, which is the
one big social event of the year
which affords an opportunity for i
everyone to meet the dean of
women and the assistant dean so
cially.
All women who are attending
the district convention of the Fed
erated Women’s Clubs will be in
vited to the A. W. S.-Kwama tea,
it was announced late Monday by
Margaret Cummings. A number
of A. W. S. council members are
expecting to attend the convention
also.
Honorary Receives Cup
Sent by Former Student
A cup, to be awarded to the
member of the W. F. G. Thacher
chapter of Alpha Delta Sigma, na
tional advertising honorary for
men, has just been received from
R. W. Byington, a former member
now connected with the advertis
ing firm of Foster and Kleiser in
San Francisco.
Mr. Byington was a member of
the class of 1930 and was well
known here on the campus. He
was a journalism major and won
one of the summer advertising
scholarships with a firm in Port
land.
Each year the name of the per
son showing the most value and
loyalty to the chapter will be en
graved on the cup.
Hall Concludes

AT 10 o’clock this morning all
freshmen will gather in the
music auditorium to hear Dr.
Arnold Bennett Hall, president
of the University, give the con
cluding lecture of a series deal
ing with college success.
Tlie topic chosen for his
speech today is “Spiritual Val
ues.”

on the program again, playing

In order that all freshmen
may attend, since the assembly
is a regular part of their aca
demic curriculum, all freshman
classes meeting at this hour will
be dismissed.

Language Instructors Meet
Literary Notables in France
Edward Champion Shows
American Girls Through
His Book Store
“Perhaps the most interesting
person we met in France was the
novelist, Edouard Estaunie. We
saw him in Dijon, the city of his
birth. He is one of the most orig
inal thinkers that France has
along literary lines.” The Misses
Christina and Helen Crane, in
structors in romance languages,
who have just returned from a
year's study in Paris, were privi
leged to meet many literary nota
bles. Monsieur Estaunie granted
Miss Christina Crane an interview
one afternoon concerning his
work.
“L’Appel de la Route” is consid
ered his masterpiece, and I am
sure that the school edition of his
“Tels qu’ils furent" and also “L’in
firme aux mains de lumiere” have
been used here in the university,”
she said.
A French authoress whom they
met was Simonne Ratel, a young
woman of about 29, whose first
novel has just appeared. Her book,
“Trois parmi les autres,” has been
compared to Rosamond Lehmann's
“Dusty Answer.”
The Misses Crane also met again
Eduoard Champion, who may be
remembered as having visited the
University campus as a lecturer in
the fall of 1929. “He was kind
enough to show us through his
famous book store on the Quai
Malaquais, which recalls memor
ies of Anatole France,” Miss Chris
tina said.
An American born novelist who
is living in Paris and with whom
they became acquainted is Ellen
DuPais Taylor, author of “Tow
ers Along the Grass,” and “One
Crystal and a Mother.” Mrs. Tay
lor was a pupil of Gertrude Stein,
who in turn was a star pupil of
the great psychologist, William
James.
While in France the Misses
Crane hunted up some of the
towns which furnish the setting
for Estaunie’s novels. They said
that the little village of Semur,
wherein the scenes of ”L’Appel de
la Route” were laid, was fascinat
ing, retaining many of the aspects
of a town of the middle ages. Be
fore returning they went to Ger
many to see the Passion Play, then
spent a month in Italy and the
last two weeks before sailing in
England.

Patient Rewards Nurse
With Gift of Pheasant
Being a nurse at the infirmary
isn't such a bad life after all. At
least so thought Helen Fleming
when one of her ex-patients
brought her a pheasant a few days
ago.
"The bird was exceptionally
tasty," declares Miss Fleming,
"and amply repaid me for the care
I gave my patient."

Canary Dies But
Exams Rescued
uj^O, I didn’t have much of a
fire," Professor Lesch said
when interviewed in regard to
the fire that was reported at
Ills house on Fuirmount boule
vard Sunday afternoon. “'I'he
eanary perished and the cat left
home. Outside of that, not much
happened. I was over to my
neighbor’s for a few minutes and
when I got home there was a
fire in the house. How did it
start? I don’t know. My neigh
bor and I put it out before the
fire department arrived. When
they did come, they just chopped
a hole in the roof to see if it
was out.”
“As for actual damage, well,
let's see, a picture that I didn't
particularly like got burned. The
whiskers of a Japanese actor’s
mask were singed along with
the tail of a tomahawk. I saved
the examination papers, how
ever, as they were all correct
ed. That's about all I guess—
about $800.00 damage—and for
goodness suites,” the professor
closed, “don’t say I have a wife
and children.”
