New Education

Foundation
National Worker Guest of
Campus Organizations
Last Night
"Education has been suggested
as the solution of international dif
ficulties, but the greater need is
for more than general education
that will train for the development
of a new instinct—an instinct
which will make people think in
another line. Our clubs are a val
uable contribution to this new way
of thinking, and it is the work of
these clubs that inspires the lead
k ers with greater hopes for the
future.”
It was Miss Hemingway Jones,
assistant of the Carnegie Endow
ment for International Peace,
speaking before a group of atten
tive listeners at the International
house last night. After arriving in
Eugene at noon yesterday the hon
or guest was taken for a drive up
the McKenzie highway and return
ed for the dinner party given for
her at 6:30.
In the evening a group assem
bled to hear her discuss the sig
nificance of international relation
clubs. Her years of rich experience
and personal contact with the work
was evident as she unfolded the
story of the origination and growth
of clubs here in America.
Interest Aroused
"Soon after the war people of
their own accord became interest
ed in peace problems and nation’s
affairs. Clubs formed of them
selves out of this interest—there
was no propaganda in their origin
ation. Today there are 208 clubs
of this sort in the United States
alone.
"Conferences are held all over
the United States, Mexico, and
Canada today and some day we
shall have national and interna
tional conventions, too,” is Miss
Jones’ optimistic outlook.
“War is the result of one na
tion’s refusal to comply with an
other nation’s demands. The only
adequate solution to quell such
misunderstandings is a settling
down to talk things over. The re
sult will be an understanding
which was not so before.”
Peace Work Told
Miss Jones described the beau
ties of the Peace palace at Geneva
which she recently visited, and
told of the work of the League of
Nations there. She cited the exam
ple of the Bulgarian who crossed
the border into Greece to capture
his dog that had run away and,
^ because he would not halt in his
pursuit when so ordered, was shot,
whereupon the Greek army march
ed into Bulgaria and started un
necessary trouble. It was only
through the meeting of the repre
sentatives of the two countries
and a thorough discussion of the
affair that the foolishness of the
situation was brought to light. All
such matters arir c,g between coun
tries can be so settled now if
enough are interested in settle
ment this way,” suggested the na
tional worker.

Marshall Shields
Slowly Improving
Ross Bales Also Confined
To Local Hospital
Marshall Shields, the Oregon
senior who was seriously injured in
an automobile accident early last
Friday morning, is improving
slightly, according to Dr. S. M.
Kerron, physician in charge.
A later examination and X-ray
of Ross Bates revealed a double
fracture of the pelvis. Although
his condition is said to be not ser
ious, it will be some time before
he is able to leave the Pacific
Christian hospital, where he is con
fined at the present time.
The accident occurred when the
party of six students, attempting
to drive to Corvallis, were forced
off the highway, about three miles
out of Eugene, to avoid being hit
by the swaying trailer of an over
night truck. The car, driven by
Jack Stangier, was completely de
molished. The other passengers
received bruises and minor injur
ies.
Violinist, Organist Show
Skill in Student Recital
By DAVE WILSON
Violin and organ for an unusual
contrast, but Esther Wicks and
Robert Gould succeeded in making
their joint recital, given at the mu
sic auditorium last night, a thing
of pleasing proportions. Each dis
played a grasp and control of his
respective medium that must have
been very gratifying to their
teachers, Rex Underwood and
John Stark Evans.
In her first number, Handel’s
Sonata in E-major, Miss Wicks
showed the high type of artistry
which has won for her a Juilliard
music scholarship. In the four
movements she displayed a purity
ol tone and an ability to handle the
most complicated passages with a
technique which was brilliant with
out loss of a delicacy which is one
of the charms of her musical per
sonality.
i These characteristics were car
j ried over into the four shorter
j pieces she played. Tchaikowsky’s
! well-known “Melodie” was charm
' ing for its lyric qualities. The “Or
: ientale” (Amani-Elman), and Sar
' a sate’s "Spanish Dance” were
: skillfully handled. Her concluding
[ number, Hubay’s "Hejre Kati” was
| perhaps the most difficult number
Miss Wicks gave. It called for
skillful bow work in its vigorous
measures.
i Mr. Gould opened his contribu
tion to the program with J. S.
, Bach's Fugue in G-minor (The
Great). This called for dexterous
! pedaling and capable rendition of

Dr. Miller Comments on
Campus Responsibilities

Turning their backs to the audi

The beauty contest is only one
phase of Health Week. It might
emphasize a result of good health
and exercise. Another phase is
campus responsibilities, each stu
dent keeping in good health so
that the condition of the Univer
sity as a whole will be good. In
regard to this Dr. F. N. Miller,
director of the health service, con
siders it a responsibility to con
sult a physician whenever a per
son has a cold, for two reasons.
“At the beginning, it is never
certain whether what is supposed
to be ‘only a cold’ is not or will
not develop into something se
rious,” Dr. Miller says. "Even
doctors are not able to diagnose
properly their own cases; yet some
people try to treat themselves for
ailments when only a doctor can
properly prescribe for them.
“Consulting a doctor about colds
is more important for college and
university students, because they
are constantly grouped together,
in classes and at their living or
ganizations.
“Contagious diseases like chick
en pox, measles and mumps are
apt to occur most any time, and
are easily spread. Such cases
should be found at the earliest
moment so that they may be iso
lated. Colds have turned to be
smallpox, sore throats into scarlet
fever, so that no one can be sure
that their slight cold is not a dan
ger signal. We are adverse to set
ting any rules for the care of a
cold, because we are not certain
what it may indicate,” Dr. Miller
declared. He also urged that all
students take advantage of the
health service and consult the doc
tors before attempting to “doctor
a cold.”

New Members at Meeting
Four active members and one
associate member were elected to
Fi Lambda Theta, women’s nation

Phi Mu Submits
First Health Week
Menu For Contest
House Manager Tells How
To Plan Meals for
Best Results
Honors for submitting the first
menu for the Health Week menu
contest go to Ruth Campbell,
house manager of the Phi Mu
sorority, who handed in a com
pleted meal plan at 1 o'clock yes
terday. The deadline for all plans
which will compete for the Alden
cup has been set for 5 o’clock this
afternoon by Mary Agnes Hunt,
Planning all the meals for 25
girls a week in advance is much
harder than most people think, ac
cording to Miss Campbell, who ex
plains how a house manager goes
about feeding the members of her
sorority properly.
Irregularity in the serving of
certain foods is a good idea, she
suggests, since nobody likes to eat
the same thing on the same night
every week.
Another item to take into con
sideration is the contrast in food
texture and color. If colorless
foods are served, a bright food
should be served for contrast.
Although dainty dishes cannot
be prepared as at home, foods can
be fixed in an appetizing manner.
It is also necessary to have a
varied menu, so that the partic
ular tastes of every individual are
satisfied. Suggestions from mem
bers of the house are helpful in
determining what to place on the
dinner table.
Dean Gilbert Will Speak
At Wheeler High School
Dr. James H. Gilbert, dean of the

‘Holiday’Opens
At Guild Hall
Tonight at 8:15
Barry’s American Comedy
To Play Three Nights
At Campus Theatre
Large Student Cast Headed
By Nancy Tliielsen,
Helen Mielke
The University dramatic season
opens tonight at 8:15 with the pre
sentation of “Holiday,” clever
American comedy by Philip Barry,
which begins a three-night run at
Guild theatre. The play is handled
by a carefully trained cast, many
of whom have had a great deal of
experience in previous campusj per
formances. Nancy Thielsen, who
plays the important part of Linda
Seton, has established her reputa
tion in "Escape,” and “The Last of
Mrs. Cheney,” given by the drama
department last year. Carl Klip
pel, who has the male lead of
Johnny Case; Addison Brockman,
who takes the part of Ned Seton;
Norma Jacobs, cast as Laura
Cram, and Jean Williams, in the
part of Susan Potter, have all ap
peared in major productions in
j eluding “Yellow Jacket,” and “Es
cape.”
Helen Mielke, as Julia Seton,
appears for the first time in a ma
jor production, but has shown her
self very capable' in rehearsals.
Other promising’ new material in
cludes Emery Hyde, Sanford Platt,
Donald Confrey, Walden Boyle,
Jay Downs, and Daisy Swanton.
The play which is filled with
witty dialogue, is set in the home
of a millionaire who judges people
on their ability to amass money.
Complications arise when both
daughters fall in love with a man
who enjoys life more than money.
There is much opportunity for
rich stage settings and costuming.
Fred Orin Harris is in charge of
the stage crew and has succeeded
in designing and producing sets
which give an appearance of spa
ciousness in spite of the smallness
of the Guild Hall theatre. Much
attention has been given to sound
effects, especially those in the sec
ond act which presents a New
Year’s Eve dance.
There will be three performanc
es, Wednesday, Thursday, and Fri
day evenings. All seats are re
served and selling at the price of
50 cents. Tickets are on sale at
the Administration building.
Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt, director of
the drama department, promises a
finished performance. As there
have been three dress rehearsals,
the Wednesday night performance
will in no way resemble a dress re
hearsal.
Many Inquire About Next
Student Summer Cruise
The University extension divi
sion has received numerous letters
from enthusiastic people all over
the Pacific Northwest inquiring
abou* the possibilities of another
student cruise in the summer of
1931.
Letters were unanimous in their
praise of past cruises to Alaska
and Hawaii, and expressed the
hope that in the future the policy
inaugurated by the University of
Oregon of sponsoring student trav
el tours might be continued.
W ilderman Discusses Oregon
Football Future OverKORE
Sam Wilderman, director of the
A. S. U. O. news bureau, gave a
quarter of an hour talk over radio
station KORE last evening con
cerning football. Wilderman, who
will leave tomorrow for San Fran
cisco to handle publicity for the
Oregon-St. Mary's game, respond
ed. to questions by Omar “Slug”
Palmer, relative to the football sit
uation, local and national.
According to the statements
made by Wilderman, Oregon has a
better chance of defeating the
strong St. Mary’s team than they
did of downing Oregon State. The
Oregon news director is of the
opinion that “Doc” Spears' team,
with Kitzmiller in the lineup, would
defeat St. Mary's, who, last Sat
urday trimmed the undefeated
Fordham team from the Atlantic
seaboard. Oregon’s line will be
augmented by the return of Aus
tin Colbert, star guard who was
injured in the O. S. C. game. Col
bert was not as seriously injured
as was at first thought, he said.
Wilderman also commented on
the acceptance of Ralph Hill’s new
mile record by the A. A. U.
California schools are losing a
little in their prestige compared to
I other Pacific coast, teams in inter
sectional games, Wilderman said.
I He indicated that from the inter
j est being shown in the Washing
ton State-Villanova contest to be
played Thanksgiving day, Oregon
should stand a good chance of
drawing a record crowd when they
go East next year to play New
York university.
