UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1931
Aim of Clinical
Psychology Is
Job Efficiency
v Mrs. Miriam Ilamlin Save
r
Benefits From Work
Are Great
Field for Women Wide,
Campus Visitor
Tells Group
That the benefit derived by so
ciety from the work of clinical
psychologists is much greater than
is generally realized by the public
was the statement made by Mrs.
Miriam Truax Hamlin, in speaking
before a group of about 75 women
at the second meeting of the vo
cational program being sponsored
by the Associated Women Stu
dents Thursday.
%■ “The aim of clinical psychology
is to try to train students to the
level at which they will be most
efficient and therefore most happy
in working or functioning," Mrs.
Hamlin explained. “We try to fit
them for positions for which they
are potentially capable of filling,
but for which they need adjust
ment or particular training.”
Teaching Ability Needed
In order to do this one must be i
able to teach motor and sense ■
training, speech training, physical I
correctives, administer emotional
adjustment, psychiatric work, re
medial scholastic treatment and
environmental adjustment in gen
eral, Mrs. Hamlin said. With this
knowledge clinicians have good
opportunities to raise the relation
ship between what people are do
ing and their capacity for doing.
“One of the chief aims in life |
that any of us has is to achieve 1
happiness,” the speaker continued, j
“People cannot be happy if they j
are not well adjusted. The clinical i
f psychologist tries to analyze the
difficulties of a person who is not i
happy or is retarded, and when he !
has discovered the elements caus- I
ing the maladjustments in this
person’s life he tries to remedy
them. If the defects are such that
they can’t be remedied the clini
cian tries to teach the person how
to cover them up so that he won’t
be shunned because others are su
.perior to him.” An example of
this is the improving of habits of
speech and posture to make less
noticeable a mental defect.
Wide Field Exists
The field for women in the work
of clinical psychology is very
wide, Mrs. Hamlin told the group.
At present there is a great demand
for trained clinicians, and posi
tions pay surprisingly well. There
are a great number of efferent
kinds of positions which such a
worker may hold. She may be in j
charge of a hospitalization class i
y for maladjusted or retarded stu
dents in the grades, high school,
college, private school, or institu
tions, and if she is good enough
may soon become supervisor of
such classes in a school system. Or
she may be a clinician in public
and private schools or colleges.
Mrs. Hamlin also told of a clin
ician who had founded her own
private clinic in Columbus, Ohio,
hiring other clinicians to help her
in this work. Then there is the

Fees Paid? Only
Short Time Left
/ANLY eleven hours left in
which to pay winter term
fees! The operation requires
only the amount of energy nec
essary to hand a check or eash
through the cashier’s wicket and
receive in return a small orange
slip. Not much work, yet only
one-half of the students have
paid their fees, according to Miss
Howena Elgin, assistant cash
ier.
"For their own convenience
and for ours, students ought to
come as early as possible so that
we can finish up this work with
out too much congestion at the
last minute,” said Miss Elgin.
House Managers
Hear Unfavorable
Report on Taxes
Health Officials To Inspect
Houses Without Advance
Notice, Hereafter
A report unfavorable to hopes
for a bill to exempt fraternity and
sorority houses from paying taxes
was given by Ken Moore, chair
man of the committee in charge,
at the meeting of house managers
at the Pi Beta Phi house at 7:30
last night. A letter from Homer
Angell, chairman of the ways and
means committee of the state leg
islature, to the effect that he did
not feel that he could support the
bill, and that he was not yet sure
of his own opinion as to its real
worth, was read to the house man
agers.
It was announced that hereafter
inspection of houses by the doctors
of the health service will be done
without warning. Dr. F. N. Mil
ler, director of the health service,
and Dr. Mark T. Phy and Dr. Mil
dred Mumby, assistant University
physicians, plan to appear at noon
time to inspect not only the
kitchen but the whole house, ac
cording to Cal Bryan, president of
the House Managers’ association.
Lloyd Sherrill, senior in econom
ics, reported on the business ad
ministration survey of living or
ganizations. He told of a plan to
list the monthly expenses of each
bouse on the campus so that house
managers could compare them to
their own house. The list will not
be personal, since numbers and
not names will be used to desig
nate the houses.
Voting on a revision of the con
stitution in order that all houses
nn the campus can be taxed 15
cents to pay the salary of Ridge
way Johnson, agent for co-opera
tive buying, was deferred until the
next regular meeting.
All but six houses were repre
sented at the meeting.
Social Swim for Tonight
Is Called Off for Dance
A social swim will not be held
this evening because of the dance
recital of Lore Deja which will be
given in Gerlinger hall at 8 o’clock.
The swims, which have been
held under the management of
Paul Lafferty, ordinarily are stag
ed in the women's pool every Fri
day evening at 7:30, and last until
D o’clock. They will be continued
again next week.
Guild Theatre Again Packed
By Popular Studio Players
By ISABELLE CROWELL
The studio plays are certainly
keeping up their reputation for
^ popularity, for Guild theatre was
packed again yesterday afternoon
for the performance of “Knives
from Syria" and "How Perfectly
Absurd.”
Especially fine work was done
in the first play by Elizabeth
Scruggs and Margaret Hunt as
the typical mother and daughter
on a poor Oklahoma farm. Wilbur
Tucker put a snag in the play for
a moment by forgetting his lines,
but with that exception it moved
very smoothly. Barney Miller, the
Syrian, wasn’t so convincing as a
salesman when he was babbling
about China girls, old gold, and
such, but he ought to be famous
for the lift of the eyebrow when
he said “Tomorrow?” to the farm
f girl.
Now for “How Perfectly Ab
surd." As soon as we got accus
tomed to the fact that the pecu
liar pile of boxes on the stage was
a hilltop, we could appreciate the
unusualness of the performance
going on. Marguerite Blake, who
was the beautiful lady of the
drawing room in last week’s play,
was the beautiful lady of the hill
top, this time seeking death in
stead of divorce. Ethan Newman,
as the sportsman, despondent of
ever getting away from women
jand their talk of careers, arrived
'with a pistol at his head all ready
I for business, when the young lady
| screamed and spoiled it all.
She herself was just assuming
a beautiful pose in which to take
poison, when the man dissuaded
her by picturing how she would
look afterwards. In the meantime
he had made another attempt, but
the gun stuck. Thus, when a
chauffeur, played by Martin Geaiy,

Better Foreign
Relations Plan

Committee of Students To
Establish International
Contacts on Campus
Louise Ansley Is Elected
Secretary - Treasurer
At Group Meeting
Eetter understanding between
the students of foreign nations
and those of the United States to
Louise Anslev
De Drougni aooui
by a permanent
student commit
tee was the aim
expressed at last
night’s meeting
of the Interna
tional R e 1 ations
club. The sug
gested committee
would include
representatives of
the assoc iated
students, the In
ternational Relations club, and the
Cosmopolitan club, and the group
would have as a duty the estab
lishing of international contacts
on the campus, it was brought out
in the discussion.
“Such a plan,” Cal Bryan, pres
ident of the club, said, “would go
a long way toward placing the
University among the leading in
ternationally progressive schools
on the Pacific coast.”
Committee Is Planned
Findings of a committee to be
appointed by Bryan to investigate
the plan will be announced within
a few weeks, and the attitudes of
other groups will be ascertained
more fully.
Louise Ansley, sophomore in
economics, was unanimously elect
ed secretary-treasurer to serve for
the remainder of the year.
Dr. Warren D. Smith, of the
geology department, led a discus
sion on the conditions and prob
lems of South America. “If we
Americans ever expect to gain the
real respect and good will of the
people of South America, we must
meet them on common ground.
We must match the Europeans in
learning their language, and in
gaining respect for their customs
and capabilities.”
Europe Sends Scientists
Europe is sending scientists,
university instructors, and experts
who speak Spanish; whereas the
United States is represented by
people who take it for granted
that their English will get them
by—their English, and their capi
tal, Dr. Smith inferred.
“The South American has a sin
cere respect for our capital and
our organizing genius. In fact,
we are known as the ‘Colossus of
the North,' but we are not esti
mated as highly in other fields as
we might wish to be.
"Their conception of us is
largely a combined picture of Hol
lywood happenings, Chicago gang
wars, and New York stock market
crashes, due in part at least, to
the news selected by European
operated newspapers. One man,
Waldo Franck, however, an Amer
ican who studied the culture ex
istent in Spain and with this train
ing began a crusade in South
America to bring the United
States into good grace, has done
imnteasurable work to interpret
us to these people, and to bring
us an accurate picture of them,”
Dr. Smith said.
Problems Mentioned
Lack of capital, an inferior la
bor supply, and the prevalence of
an absentee landlord system are
among the chief problems now
faced by the southern continent.
Dr. Smith said, basing his conclu
sion on four months’ observation
made there recently.
“The new revolutions are differ
ent from the old ones, which were
instigated by rival generals. Re
cent uprisings have expiessed pop
ular sentiment, the last revolution
in Brazil being one example of a
spontaneous public protest against
the government. But these revo
lutions will not settle South Amer
ica’s problems. One does not real
ize how staggering her economic
questions are until one has actu
ally viewed them,” the geology in
structor pointed out.
I “Our tariff wall is much re
sented by our southern neighbors;
1 they consider it one reason for
| their inability to make rapid in

Interprets Modern Dance Rhythm
Love of the sea, with its ceaseless rhythm, inspired Lore Deja,
exponent of the modern German school of the dance, to a love of the
dance at an early age. Miss Deja, who will give an invitational recital
at Gerlinger hall tonight, is the first of the modern dance interpreters
to appear in the West.
Lore Deja WiJl Bring Modern
Dances to Campus Tonight
Young German Exponent
Of Rhythm Inspired
By Love of Sea
Lore Deja, young:, dimpled, aii
burn-haired dancer of the modern
German school will be seen here
in a recital this evening at 8
o’clock in the dancing room of
Gerlinger hall under the sponsor
ship of the women’s physical edu
cation department.
This brilliant young exponent
will appear in a program of dance
interpretations in modern style.
Born in Germany on the shores of
the North Sea, the daughter of a
German sea captain and a noted
Portuguese singer, she inherited
her artistic temperament and love
of the sea, which she says, by its
ceaseless rhythm, inspired her to
a love of the dance at an early age.
For six years she has been work
ing and teaching at the'Wigman
School of Dance, which is consider
ed the most active and progres
sive of the modern German schools.
Previous to this she worked with
the Palucca school as one of its
founders and teachers. Her con
cert appearances in the leading
cities of Europe have gained her
the reputation as one of the most
noteworthy leaders of the modern
dance movement.
The work that Lora Deja does
appeals not only to the dancer, but
to the musician, as it is based on

sculptor also find it inspiring, the
pictorial side never being neglect
ed for the sake of modernism. The
actor finds interest in the rapidly
changing interpretations of all
moods, all equally sincere, and with
costumes and lighting effects in

Mary Wigman, teacher of Lore
Deja and famous dancer in her
own right, is now appearing in
concerts in the East where the new
dance cult has gained wide popu
larity. Lore Deja is the first of
this school to appear in the West,
and has given several recitals in
Seattle. On Wednesday she gave
a concert appearance at Corval
lis, and will appear in Portland af
ter her recital in Eugene.
The concert tonight has been
made, from necessity, invitational.
Invitations were sent to members
of the faculty who were thought
to have an interest in the princi
ples of the modern dance. Others
i were given to classes studying
rhythmic work, and to members
of Master Dance. The remaining
invitations were placed at the wo
men's physical education depart
ment, where they were obtained
upon personal application.

Entry List for
SongContestTo
Close Saturday
Six Sororities ami Four
Fraternities Signed
For Competition
Sextet, Quartet Songs Easy
Says Bryson; Houses
Urged To Enter
Jomorrow, January 31, Is the
last date of registration for living
organizations who aspire to own
ership of one of the 22-inch silver
cups offered by the polyphonic
choir to the winners of the new
intramural song contest.
At a competitive audition to be
held next May, the women's house
or hall adjudged to have the best
vocal sextet will be awarded one
of the cups, and the other will go
to the men's organization enter
ing the best quartet.
Roy Bryson, member of the mu
sic school voice faculty, is the per
son to whom registration applica
tions should be submitted.
Registration List Small
In commenting on advance reg
istration of houses yesterday, Mr.
Bryson said, "The registration list
is so far regrettably small. Many
living organizations, especially the
men's houses, have the mistaken
idea that the songs to be sung at
the audition are too hard for their
vocalists to attempt.
“Nothing could be farther from
the truth. The songs are all com
paratively easy to sing; the melo
dies are not complicated, and the
harmonies are easy to master. The
board of governors picked songs
that would be well within the
range of amateur ensembles.”
The four songs to be sung by
the male quartets at the audition
are: "Bird Song at Eventide”
(Coates), "Lo, How a Rose E'er
Blooming (Praetorius), “Ride Out
on Wings of Song” (Berwald),
and “Wait Till Ah Put on My
Crown” (Reddish).
Ten Groups Sign
The compositions which the
women’s sextets will use are: “On
the Steppe” (Gretchanlnoff), “The
Linden Tree” (Schubert - Dana),
“Beauteous Morn” (German), and
“Lift Thine Eyes” (Mendelssohn).
Women’s organizations which
had up to yesterday signed up for
the contest are Kappa Alpha
Theta, Delta Gamma, Alpha Omi
cron Pi, Hendricks hall, Alpha Xi
Delta, and Alpha Chi Omega.
Men’s houses registered for com
petition are Kappa Sigma, Phi
Sigma Kappa, Alpha hall, and
Theta Chi.
Each women’s house entering
will be required to name six sing
ers and three alternates; men’s
houses must name four singers
and four alternates.
To Choose Judge
When the time for the audition
comes, the board of governors for
the contest will select a judge not
connected in any way with the
University. The governors are Dr.
John J. Landsbury, dean of the
music school; Mrs. Anne Lands
bury Beck, head «,of the public
school music department; and Ar
thur Boardman, director of the
polyphonic choir and head of the
voice department.
Each ensemble will be allowed
to use an accompanist at the
piano, but the accompanist will
not be allowed to direct the per
formance in any way.
After registration has beer
made with Mr. Bryson, complete
scores for the audition songs maj
be ordered through Mrs. Emilienne
Roach of the voice department.

Prink CallUon
bitterly as the
yearling basket
ball quintets of
the two institu
tions meet in the
first of a four
game series at 8
o’clock tonight in
the Igloo.
Both teams
have nearly sim
ilar records for
the season. The
Orangemen have won three games
and lost one, while the frosh have
won three and dropped two. In
last year’s four-game series the
frosh under Callison managed to
take three. The only possible
comparison between the rival quin
tets is the Commerce high games.
The frosh had little trouble in
trouncing the Stenogs while the
rooks dropped a close game to
them.
| Reports from the rook camp
state that Coach “Rhodie” Lamb
| is dissatisfied with the teamwork
of his squad. Individual playing,
1 instead of teamwork, he stated,
| has been the means by which they
took most of their games.
Rooks Strong
The rooks will present a strong
I starting lineup. Carl Lenchitsky,
| tall and fast, will hold down the
pivot position. Harold Joslin, for
mer rook fullback, will hold down
one of the guard berths. He has
shown exceptional checking ability
this season and will probably be
placed against Jim Watts, frosh
forward. Forwards will be Ed At
kinson, who is a former rival of
Watts from San Francisco, and
Harold Brown, former Commerce
high star. The other guard posi
tion will be given to Jack Rich
ardson, from Lincoln high. Lench
itsky, Brown, and Atkinson have
been responsible for most of the
rooks' points this season.
Houghton Hurt
Coach Prink Callison announced
last night that LaGrande Hough
ton, who has been out all week
with an injured hip, would not be
in condition to start. Gil Olinger,
a former Mllton-Freewater high
school player, will start In nis

[ the remainder of the starting line

which started the last three games.
Joe Lillard will do the jumping
at center, Jim Watts and Joe Wil

sitions, and Mark Temple will fill
the other guard berth.

So states a message receivec
by the Emerald last night fronr
Arthur Ungar, associate produce!
of the Universal Pictures Corpora

that effect.
Mr. Ungar, who is at presen

ed over long distance that hi
i would like to meet all students
men and women, who are inter
ested in entering motion pictures
He will give each person a person

Mr. Ungar states that he can
see students only between the
