Soph Honor Men Select Nominees At Evening Meet Kenneth Curry, Chairman, Says Members Are Enthusiastic Nominations for officers were made and the committees ap pointed at the first meeting on last Tuesday reported at a two hour meeting last night of the new sophomore class service hon orary now being organized on the campus. Nominations for the customary club offices were made, and the elections will be held at the next meeting of the group, scheduled for Tuesday of next week. After some discussion the members de cided to withhold the names of the nominees until after the elec tions. When questioned as to the rea son for such action, the members declared that they believed more could be accomplished by the hon orary if the details of its organ izing be kept under cover until the work is completed. Reports from the five commit tees—purpose, name and member ship, officers, meetings, and stand ings—were heard and the findings of the several groups were dis cussed. Each of the committees was in charge of some phase of the constitution. After each re port the members talked over the provisions to be contained in the forthcoming document. According to Kenneth Curry, senior in law, who is acting chairman in charge of organizing the honorary, the constitution is practically com pleted. “Every member of the group was present tonight, and they were all very enthusiastic over the possibilities of the organization,” said Curry last night. “At the meeting the men brought in many good ideas which can be worked into the program and activities of the honorary so as to be of real benefit to the University. “The members are looking for ward to what they can do in the future to help the freshmen in acquainting themselves with uni versity life and in entering into the spirit and activities of the stu dent body,” continued Curry, fur ther emphasizing the spirit with (Continued on Page Three) Mary Klemm Gives Speech On International Relations “America’s part in International ^ Relations” was the topic of a for um discussion honoring Mary Klemm, an Oregon graduate, who is now secretary of the National Consulate for the Prevention of War, and has just returned from the National Consulate meeting at Washington, D. C. The meeting, held at Westminster house Thurs day at 4 p. m., was sponsored by the world fellowship and indus trial groups of the Y.- WT. C. A. “After 12 years, during which Wilson’s ideals were abandoned, America is again holding the key position,” declared Miss Klemm. “In Germany,” she continued, “there has been a direct rise of nationalist sentiment. Because the allies have not disarmed, discon tented Germany wants to throw y over treaty obligations and arm to the teeth; on the other hand, Mus solini and the Italian delegation have been unable to reach an agreement with France. As a re sult, a major conflict is in the off ing. “The time is ripe for conflict, if we’re to have one. All eyes center on America; it is in her power to pour oil on the troubled waters of Europe, and stabilize the very un stable existing conditions. Under the present situation, the League of Nations is powerless to stabil ize; outside influence is the only hope, and America can wield that influence. “What has America done since 1918? She has signed the Paris pact, yet backed out of the league; co-operated in disarmament ef I forts, yet failed to join the court. “What can America do? She can make her viewpoint definite and thereby relieve the situation in three ways: (1) adhere to the | (Continued on Page Three) 13 Freshmen Win Place on Debate Squad Men Chosen From Among The 21 Contestants Trying Out Question of Free Trade in United States Argued Pro and Con Freshmen showed their interest in debate yesterday afternoon when 21 competed for places on the squad at the tryouts held at Villard hall, 13 being chosen for the team. With an ease and force that promises future varsity de baters, they discussed the ques tion, “Resolved, that the United States should gradually lower its tariff so as to adopt a policy of free trade within 20 years.” Those chosen to make up the squad are: Phil Mulder, Carl Stutsman, Willis Ekblad, Otto Van derheit, Delos Parks, George Ben nett, Emery Hyde, Roy McMullen, John Adams, Gerald Gray, Norris Porter, Alan Carley, and Alonzo Call. Both Sides Argued The number of contestants choosing the affirmative side of the question just about equalled those choosing the negative. The affirmative maintained that our infant industries have developed to such an extent that they no longer need protection, that the tariff is not benefitting the whole of the people but only a portion, and that it hinders a feeling of good will. The negative retaliated with the arguments that to lower our tariff would lower our standards of liv ing, that other nations could un dersell our goods therefore lower ing our prosperity, and that free trade would promote a feeling of jealousy towards products coming inv from other countries. Two Are Judges W. E. Hempstead Jr., instructor in public speaking, and Eugene Laird, special assistant in the pub lic speaking department, acted as judges. "The material was exceptionally fine this year,” said Mr. T,aird, making it extremely hard to elim inate some of the contestants. Those who didn’t make the squad this year, may have a chance next and should not be discouraged.” The freshman squad'will begin work immediately on debate prin ciples and will be assigned a def inite question on which to work before the Christmas holidays. Former Student Shows Paintings Clarence Lidberg Exhibits Work in Paris Clarence Lidberg, formerly a student in the school of architec ture and allied arts at Oregon, is now exhibiting several of his paint ings at the American Library of Paris. A portrait of a young man, probably a musician, reclining with ease and grace of pose, is his most striking canvas and the most com mented upon. The portrait shows virility and characteristics of a rapidly maturing artist, probably the outgrowth of his studies in the studio of Jean Despujols, win ner of the prix de Rome and one of the most brilliant of the con temporary French artists. Lidberg left Oregon a year ago last June with a fellowship to study during the summer months at Fontainebleau school of fine arts in the Palace of Fontaine bleau, France, and to work with Despujols. While at this University, Lid berg carried on most of his art study under Alfred H. Schroff, Kenneth Hudson, and Mrs. Louise Schroff. He painted several por traits in oils, one of them being a portrait of Burt Brown Barker, vice-president of the University, which was in the Oregana of 1929. Lidberg was a junior when he left here. He is a member of Sig ma Pi Tau. University High School To Present Senior Play “Tommy,” a three-act comedy by Howard Lindsay and Bertrand Robinson will be presented by the senior class of University high school Saturday, December 6 at Guild theatre. The cast includes: Althea Peter son, Bob Prescott, Catherine Cole man, Bob Lowry, Gordon Gedney, Gertrude Lamb, and Parks Hitch cock and Hartley Kneeland. Nor ma Jacobs, senior in English is coaching the play. Violinist9 Organist Present Varied Concert Program _ - Evans Schedules Only One Presentation of This Year's Chorale By JANET FITCH The familiar melodies of Kreis ler followed the crispness of Bach in the concert given last night by Juanita Oskins, violinist, and Doris Helen Patterson, organist, to an audience of about two hundred in the music auditorium. Miss Oskins opened the program with Handel's mournful "Sonata in G-minor”; the slow movement almost dirge-like, the fast ones sure. Bach's delicate “Air from the Suite in D,“ with its wistful mel ody set to a precise stepping pedal accompaniment, was Miss Patterson’s first number. She fol lowed it by the splendid "G-minor Fugue,” which was done with ac curacy and power. ‘'Schon Rosmarin," the dashing little waltz, and "Slavonic Fanta sie" were two well-known Kreisler bits on Miss Oskins' share of the program. In the "Fantasie," an arrangement of Dvorak's "Songs My Mother Taught Me,” the violin sang the plaintive air, and there was a strong ending in Slavonic mood. Miss Patterson played Bonnet’s "Concert Variations," an alterna tion of motion and calm, with a pedal cadenza toward the end, strongly executed. Then Wieniowski's graceful Con certo in D-minor carried Miss Os kins into drama ■ there was deli cacy, though, in the runs. Miss Patterson ended the program with Guilmant’s colorful Concerto, Op. 42; an introduction and allegro followed by a quaint pastorale on the reeds, and a quick, intricate finale. Miss Oskins, a Juilliard scholar, is a student of Rex Un derwood, and Miss Patterson of John Stark Evans. Hostesses Picked For Philomelete Christmas Party Members of All 10 Groups And Special Guests Are Invited The appointment of girls to act as hostesses at the Philomelete Christmks party, which will be held at the draftsman club, Sat urday from 2:30 to 5, was made known last night by Marguerite Mauzey, president of Phi Theta Upsilon, upperclass service honor ary. Entertainment, decorations and refreshments for the party are being handled by the hobby groups of Philomelete.

Hike Sunday Will Visit the Braes Ruth Irwin To Lead Final Tramp of Semester Ruth Irwin will lead a hike up . to the Brae's Sunday morning, and , unless interest is manifested in one more to be held just before exams, it will probably be the last hike of the semester. This will be the first hike to the Brae’s. The destination, which is a popular one among walkers, was aimed at once before, but the hikers became sidetracked in an other direction. The last hike, which visited Skinner’s butte, was a very suc cessful one, according to Ella Red key, hiking manager. The girls who turn out for the jaunts are acquiring an extensive knowledge of the country surrounding Eu gene, and the sources contributing to the maintenance of the munici pal public service. Specimens of value in botany and morphology classes are secured, also. The hike Sunday will leave at 8:30 from the Women’s building, with all expectations, according to the leader, of finding the Brae’s. Plans at present are for a return by noon. Bowen To Read Paper "Suitable High School Readings in French" is the title of a paper which Dr. Ray P. Bowen, chairman of the Romance language depart ment, will read at the meeting of the Oregon State Teachers’ asso ciation at Portland, December 31. Two Bands Are Presented Over KOBE Broadcast Smedberg, Goodrich, and Slocum Are Featured On Radio Program Guest artists on Thursday night’s “Emerald of the Air" pro gram were Leo's Midway Varsi tarians, who with the Emerald En tertainers, staff orchestra, occu pied the majority of the minutes on the broadcast. The two bands, playing popular dahce tunes of th* day, formed, however, only a small part of the talent that aided in presenting the third program of “Better Radio Season." Kelsey Slocum, Bob Goodrich, and Johnny Smedberg dropped into the radio parlors of the College Side Inn and consented to rhythmize on “That’s Grandma." This was their only number; but the boys are to be featured on next Sunday night’s KORE hour. Joe Freck, chairman of the Greater Oregon committee, and his assistant, Bob Miller, told the radio public of the work of the committee in making contacts be tween prospective University stu dents and the institution itself. Art Potwin, director of the radio programs, conducted the inter view. Gordon Fischer offered some thing a little different with his “canary whistling” and singing. Maurice Kinney, playing his own guitar accompaniment, sang “It’s All the Same to Me" and “Nobody Cares if I’m Blue” in modern man ner. Bob Holmes, with Kinney on the guitar, offered “I’m Losin’ You” with satisfactory syncopations. Bob Goodrich crooned on “You've Been Foolin’ Me,” accompanied at the piano by Johnny Smedberg, who in turn sang "My Mad Mo ment.” Barney Miller and Willie John ston, the parlor propagandists, brought forth the latest edition of the “Dirt of the Week Club” and related several bits of gossip con cerning the Thanksgiving holidays as celebrated on ye old Oregon campus. These Emerald-KORE hours will be continued until the end of the term and will afford study-weary students recreation from the grind ot final examinations. The visible studios of College Side Inn are open to all University students who wish to visit them. The next ra dio hour is slated for Sunday night between 6 and 7 o’clock. Mrs. Kehler Will Lecture Tonight ‘War Eternal’ To Be Topic Of World Peace Worker Mrs. Keith Ransom-Kehler, au thor and worker for world peace, will speak tonight at 8 in the wo men’s lounge in Gerlinger hall. Her subject will be "War Eternal.” Mrs. Ransom-Kehler received her M. A. at Vassar and was at one time a professor in English liter ature at Albion college, Michigan. She has recently been touring Eur ope and America to promote the Bohai movement which brings har mony between the different races and religions. She is a lecturer on psychology and international re lations. Mrs. Ransom-Kehler has been lecturing the past week in Port land on the psychology of human relations, the modern trend in edu cation, and other subjects. On De cember 7 she will speak in San Francisco. All students and townspeople are invited to hear her lecture tonight. Circulation of Allen Petition Discontinued Arlion Follows Open Letter From Deposed Student To Distributors Signers of Lists Still Feel OffieinI Aetion Wrong, Says Ralph David Robert Allen last night in an open letter asked that circulation of petitions for reconsideration of the executive council decree bar ring him from student body ac tivities for a term be discontinued. The petitions declared that Al len, ex-managing editor of the Emerald, was not guilty of incit ing an illegal student rally before the Oregon State game, and there fore the action taken by a sub committee of the council in rec ommending the loss of student body privileges was unwarranted. The petitions had been signed by morj than 1000 students headed by Ralph David, to whom the let ter was addressed. David Stops Petitions Because of Allen’s wishes the petitions will be dropped, David said on receipt of the letter. “But the students who signed the peti tion still feel that the council deci sion was unjust, and that suffi cient grounds have never been given them for the action. The names signed represent not Al len's wishes ,but the wishes of a large number of students con cerned. It is not that we feel that the question is settled that we withdraw the petition, but that further action would not clear the situation in view of the new de velopment.” The letter addressed to David follows: “Realizing that the student rela tions committee feel that they have acted justly in their line of duty as a body representing the students, and that, as they have intimated, will give little consid eration to the 1000 signatures of persons who request from them a reversal of opinion, it may be best to discontinue thg petition in my behalf, and not to present it to either of the committees. Allen Is Grateful “It isn’t that I am ungrateful for your interest in the situation, but I think that it has become inadvisable to continue with the petition. My thanks to you are no less grateful than to all those who have felt that an injustice has been done. “Of course, it is not the man aging editorship that is at stake now. Willis Duniway has been appointed, and it would be unfair to him and detrimental to the Emerald to have to make a change.” Signed: ROBERT K. ALLEN. Movies Portray Tokyo Rebuilding Portland Japanese Consul Gets Oriental Films Eight reels of motion pictures showing the process of rebuilding Tokyo after its destruction by earthquake have been received at the Japanese consulate in Port land. “The pictures were made about six months ago,” says Hirosi Acino, Japanese consul at Port land, “and are comparatively re cent. They may be borrowed by anyone who can use them, and therefore I shall be quite willing to loan them to the University of Oregon, if at any time the school desires to show them on the cam pus.” The movie, according to Mr. Acino, is very instructive and in teresting. It typifies the private life of the Japanese people and shows them in all modes of life as they go about their daily occupa tions. — Local Sociology Chapter Initiates Six Neophytes Alpha Kappa Delta, national so ciology honorary, initiated six new members Wednesday evening at 5 o'clock at the home of Dr. Philip A. Parsons, dean of the school of applied social science. Those initiated were Mary More land, Ann Baum, Marian Taylor, Earl Pemberton, Ronald Beattie, and Wallace Campbell. Following the initiation ceremon ies, the group adjourned to the Green Lantern for a banquet. Al pha Kappa Delta will hold its next meeting next Thursday, according to Bess Templeton, president. Anxiety Causes Double Trouble Z'' ROT’P picture taking of hon 1 oraries for the Oregana ran Into a snag yesterday when two honoraries scheduled pictures on their own initiative and at the wrong places. llnahle to get in touch with the presidents, Kex Tussing, in charge of the honoraries section, called the photographer and cancelled the engagements, im pressing upon him the necessity of arranging the schedule only through the Oregana office. The two organizations at fault showed up—hut to cap the climax, the one scheduled group did not appear. Movie and Slides Will Be Presented At Vi Hard Toni "lit International Group Holds Open House To Honor Dr. Hoy Akugi “Hell, and the Way Out,” a mo tion picture based upon the funda mental facts of internationalism, will be shown at Villard hall to night as a feature of International week. This picture, coming to the Uni versity of Oregon direct from the University of Michigan, has met with the popular acclaim of stu dents throughout the country. It is a fearless portrayal of inter national facts, and is valuable on this account. Lantern slides depicting the workings of the League of Nations will be shown in conjunction with the motion picture. The program, scheduled to begin at 7:45 o’clock, is open to the general public, and there will be no admission charge. It is hoped by the International week directorate that this program will help further the spirit that was portrayed on the campus last night when the International club held open house at their residence, 727 Thirteenth avenue East, from 8:30 till 10:30. The open house was held in honor of Dr. Roy Akagi, Japanese author who spoke at the International banquet last night, and Mrs. Gertrude Bass Warner, and Professor and Mrs. Tuttle. During the evening a musical program was given for the enter tainment of the guests. The pro gram featured piano solos by Michael Hamovitch, and vocal so los by Henry Kaahea and Francis Jones. Refreshments were served to those who attended the open house. The International week pageant will be the feature of Saturday's program. It is to be presented in two performances, one in the aft ernoon and the other in the eve ning. The pageant will portray various sketches of foreign life, presented in their native back grounds. Admission to the pageant will be 15 cents in the afternoon and 20 cents in the evening. Two Faculty Men Attend Medical School Meeting At the invitation of the medical faculty, Dr. Roger J.

Akagi Speaks AtBanqueton World Peace Japanese Author-Lecturer Stresses Importance of Friendship on Glohe Pacific Era Dawning, Says Visitor Here for Third Annual Program INTERNATIONAL WEEK PROGRAM Today Motion picture at Villard hall, 7:45 p m. Free to all. Saturday Pageant of Nations, Gerlinger hall, matinee and evening. Highlighting the third annual International week through the banquet held in Hendricks hall last, evening, Dr. Roy H. Akagi, Jap anese author and lecturer, spoke to the assembled group of both foreign and American students on "The Seven Lamps of Interna tional Relations,” stressing the importance of friendship and thor ough understanding among na tions aiftl peoples. In opening his address to the group, Dr. Akagi pointed out that “the more we go through programs and conferences, read into the present problems, and travel, the more we feel we have reached no where. The more we study, the darker things become, and, once we nit a rock our convictions crumble. This is the 'dark man sion' of international relations,” Dr. Akagi said. “Very few of us are scholarly enough to know all about these relations, so, with the aid of the 'seven lamps,’ let us see what is in this dark mansion. Pacific Era Coming “The first is the lamp of Vision. ‘All men shall dream dreams, but the young man Shall see visions.’ See visions in international rela tions and don’t forget to have the vision of the unfolding world be fore you. In your vision don’t overlook the new age that is dawn ing—this 'Pacific era.’ The two streams of human currents have met face to face in this new ‘Pa cific era.’ "The second lamp is the lamp of Truth. How much do we know of international relations, anyway ? Are we sure we have the facts or are we following fears and super stitions? Grasp the facts and see the truth in it all. “In the third lamp—the lamp of Culture—the problem is compli cated because of so many cultures represented throughout the world. Americans aren't willing to glance across the ocean and see that there are other cultures. The problem is to unite the best of the East with the best of the West and denounce the bad in both. Soon all cultures will unite into making a universal culture for all. “The lamp of Brotherhood finds the world suffering from a ‘color complex.’ Any world problem will have at its bottom a race compli cation. We must take for our vision a world where men of all color live together with friendli ness and no differing complexes. Peace Solves Problems “The world has seen enough of wars. The lamp of Peace lights up the fact that wars have never succeeded in solving problems, al though they have tried. Now we are ready to turn to a new solu tion and find that peace and not war will solve our problems. "Through the sixth lamp—the lamp of Internationalism we find (Continued on Page Three) St. Cecilia Mass To Be Given At Music Auditorium Sunday Only one performance of the “St. Cecilia Mass” is to be given by the University glee clubs this year, instead of the two that have been given in past years, it is pointed out by John Stark Evans, the director of the performance to be given at the music auditorium Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock, and those who really want a seat are urged to come early. Last year several hundred peo ple were turned away without seats, for the music auditorium only holds 600, and many more than that usually want to hear this Christmas chorale, which has become a tradition on the Oregon campus and has been given each December for the-last 11 years The “St. Cecilia” was written by Gounod, a French composer who lived in the nineteenth century. St. Cecilia is the patron saint of music, and the mass was origi nally written for a service hon oring her. “For sacred music, the 'Saint Cecilia’ is an unusually lovely thing,” said Mr. Evans yesterday. “It contains a number of melodi ous parts, the best known of which is the ‘Sanctus’ sung first as a tenor solo and then by the chorus.” Soloists for Sunday’s perform ance will be Nancy Thielsen, so prano; Edward Fisher, baritone, and Donald Eva, tenor. Mr. Evans will conduct the singing from the organ console, as he plays the ac companiment. The mass will be free to stu dents and the general public.
