Two children's parties will be given on Sunday one by Kappa Kappa Gamma, with Beth Owen in charge, and one by Delta Delta Delta, with Madeline Gilbert in charge.

Most Students Prepare Life Occupation While at Oregon Records Show Over Half Have Already Selected Their Professions More than half of the students enrolled in the University of Ore gon, or 1810 of a total of 3,095, have already decided on their life work, and are at the University with a definite aim of preparing themselves for this, it is shown in records just released by the sta-* tistical division of the office of Earl M. Pallett, registrar and ex ecutive secretary. Of the remainder, or those who have not yet made a decision, 584 or nearly half, plan to obtain as sistance from the personnel bureau of the University in planning an occupation or profession, the fig ures show. These data were ob tained from cards made out upon registration, and furnish a definite basis upon which the bureau of personnel research is working this year. Oiit of a senior class of 393, 266 have selected the work they wish to follow, a percentage of 68 of the total. In the junior class 197 or 61 per cent have decided, in the sophomore 567 or 56 per cent, and in the freshman class just exactly half, or 533 have made the choice. In the senior class 54 of the 133 who have not made a choice desire aid from the personnel bureau, while in the freshman class the number is 271 out of 533 wish vo cational guidance. The personnel bureau of the Uni versity not only has charge of psy chological tests and other data per taining to students, but is seeking to aid students in selecting voca tions, and is giving every help to students who come here with a definite idea of what they wish to do after they leave the university. The University here is recognized as a leader in this type of work, and is already achieving note worthy results. WHAT SHOW TONIGHT? McDonald •—- “Morocco,” with Gary Cooper and Marlene Diet rich. Drama. Colonial “Whoopee,” with Eddie Cantor. Musicomedy. Heilig — “Call of the West.” Melodrama. State — “A Royal Romance,” with William Collier Jr. Com edy. McDonald Introduces Foreign Beauty In “Morrocco,” starring Gary Cooper, and starting a four-day run at the McDonald today, Eu gene film fans will get their first glimpse of Marlene Dietrich, rav i s h i n g European importation. Adolphe Menjou, long out of mov ies, returns to add suave suppoy; j to this story of romantic adven ture. “Morocco” deals with the ! foreign legion, and its plot turns 1 about the competition between ! Cooper and Menjou for the hand of the lovely Marlene. I * Mystery Drama at State The State theatre today is show ing a comedy drama filled with | mystery. It stars William Collier | Jr., with the feminine lead in the ' hands of Pauline Starke. “A Royal Romance,” is one of the funniest comedies to be shown at the theatre in some time, be ing replete with those situations that thrill with fear and laughter at the same moment. i “Whoopee” Closes Today Today sees the final perform ance of “Whoopee," United Art ists first run extravaganza, play ing at the Colonial theatre. Starring Eddie Cantor, “Whoopee” is taken from the fam ous musical comedy of Florence Ziegfeld. It is filled with comedy of a high order—no moral impli cations, completely done in tech nicolor, and has some of the most stupendous sets yet seen in cine mas. With this picture, the Colon ial introduces their new magna scopic screen, twice the size of the usual theatre screen, which gives a thrilling panoramic effect to some of the colorful “Whoopee” scenes. Heilig Has Western “Call of the West,” outdoor ro mance scheduled to play at the Heilig today and Thursday, is an excellent example of the new type of western that has captured the public fancy. While the virile spirit of outdoor life, which is the greatest appeal of this type of film has been preserved, it is used more as a background for an un usually eloquent story. An element of contrast is injected with the scenes of night life and the “gay white way.” Publications Sent To B. A.

SATURDAY CLASSES DECRIED BY STUDENTS (Continued from Tage One) Saturdays and that they break up, the whole week-end. Thornton Gale, day editor on the Emerald and associate editor of the Oregana, thinks that they are very evidently a failure. “Practically all my Saturday classes have been dismissed so often that they are without value to me. Likewise they are a hin drance to other things like return ing home or work.” Ralph Wickersham, graduate student in psychology, was the next person approached. - I would rather have them." he said. “They get you up in time to work and keep you busy all day. As to the psychological rea sons for other students' disliking them, the Saturday classes seem to me to be objected to because they are different from routine, i habit, and custom.” "Why are they?” queries Wil liam "Billy” Keenan, little blond basketball player. "They don't re lieve building congestion and stu dents will cut them every chance they get. Almost all campus dances, football games, and so on, interfere with Saturday classes. W’hy can’t we concentrate on our classes between Monday and Fri-. day, and our activities over the week-end?” Bill Bruce, senior in political i sciece, was a,sked his opinion of ] the Saturday classes he attended. 1 "Don’t know,” was the laconic reply. "Had ’em ■ but never went to ’em.” Classified Ad Department Establishes High Record A new all-time record was reached yesterday when the classi fiel advertising section of the Em erald blossomed out with 14 want ads. Increased interest and planned development of this de partment have resulted in the marked increase in the number of ads appearing daily, according to Anton Peterson, business manager. An extremely popular feature of the classified column this year is the “find-your-name" contest car ried on daily under the auspices of Dorothy Hughes, manager of the classified advertising department. Each day, the name of some stu dent appears among the ads. If this person calls at the Emerald business office, he may obtain a free ticket to the Colonial theatre. The tickets secured are good for any performance at the theatre, including first-run productions, and also for the regular shows. Former Oregon Student Is Author of Text Book Harold Benjamin, professor of education at Stanford university, who received his B.A. degree at the University of Oregon in 1921 and his M.A. degree in 1924, is the author of “Man theProblem Solver,’’ a book recently published by Houghton, Mifflin company of Boston, Massachusetts. Mr. Benjamin was formerly principal of the University high school. He was awarded his doc tor’s degree at Stanford in 1927. According to Dean Sheldon, his book is probably the most signifi cant of its type, a textbook for freshman orientation courses in | social sciences. Eric W. Allen Has Article Published Magazine on Journalism Prints Study "International Origins of the Newspaper: the Establishment of Periodicity in Print" by Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of jour nalism, has been published in the December number of the Journal ism Quarterly, a journal devoted to investigative studies in journal ism. “An interesting item,” the arti cle states in discussing the first newspaper issued at Strassburg in 1609, "dated from Venice, Septem ber 4, 1609, links the beginning of modem journalism with an impor tant commencement date in the history of science. It reports that Professor Galileo of Padua had devised a telescope and that the Venetian authorities had raised his salary in consequence." The first newspaper was not English but German. There was no English newspaper before a pe riodical Weekly News published in 1622. This article discusses the origin of newspapers, on the basis of a study of English, French and Ger man authorities. It does not in itself attempt to decide which was the first newspaper, but collects many facts never before brought together. In the story Dean Allen discusses his subject by mention ing early news periodicals, their dates, their founders, and where they were printed.
