Women Thursday
Fourth in Series of Job
Guidance Lectures To
Be Open Meeting
Miss Harriet C. Long, state li
brarian, will be this week’s speak
er for the Associated Women Stu
dents meeting on vocational guid
ance, it was announced Tuesday.
Miss Long will speak at 4 o’clock
Thursday in Alumni hall. The
meeting will be open to all women
on the campus, and those interest
ed in library work are especially
urged to attend.
Due to a conflict with the drama
department, which presents studio
plays every Thursday at 4:15, the
A. W. S. has decided to hold the
rest of its meetings on the voca
tional project on Tuesday at 4.
This change will take effect next
week.
Library Experiences Wide
Miss Long has had wide expe
rience, and is considered well fit
ted to talk to the women here on
library work as a vocation. She
graduated with Phi Beta Kappa
honors from the University of Ne
braska in 1908. After two years
of study at the New York State
Library school at Albany, since
consolidated with Columbia uni
versity, she received a Bachelor of
Library Science degree. She spent
five years doing county library
work in Santa Barbara and Kern
counties, California, later going to
Van Wert county, Ohio, to do sim
ilar work.
In 1917 Miss Long entered the
war service and was on the Texas
border before she went abroad in
the library service of the Ameri
can Epeditionary forces. She re
turned from France in 1920.
Managed Traveling Library
Before coming to Oregon as
state librarian to succeed Mrs.
Virginia C. Bacon, Miss Long was
head of the traveling library de
partment of the Wisconsin Free
Library commission. She was also
for a number of years head of the
literature and art department of
the Wisconsin State Federation of
Women’s clubs. .
“County Library Service,” a
book published by Miss Long in
1925, was her thesis for a master
of library science degree from the
same school at which she earned
her bachelor’s degree in library
work. This book is said to be the
authoritative publication on the
subject.
Miss Long will be on the campus
for appointments at 1 o’clock
Thursday, so that conference may
be had with her by individual wo
' men before she speaks the same
afternoon. She will also be here
until 10:30 Friday morning for
appointments. These may be made
through the dean of women's of
fice.
Meeting To 3e Announced
The A. W. S. is arranging to
have speakers at all women's hous

Defacing of Book
Is Punishable Act
IMPRISONMENT or a heavy
1 fine will be the punishment
administered to the students or
other persons who are found de
facing the University library's
property, II. M. Douglas, univer
sity librarian, warned today.
Several signs have been posted
in the library to try to reduce
the amount of defacing and de
stroying of books and periodi
cals that has been increasing
daily.
The law states that whoever
wilfully or maliciously writes
upon, njures, defaces, tears dr
destroys a book, or picture of
any sort belonging to any li
brary, shall be punished by a
fine of not less than $5 nor not
more than $50 or by imprison
ment not to exceed six months.
Mr. Douglass announced that
this law will be strictly en
forced.
Washington State
Women Debaters
Win From Oregon
Victorious Team Contends
That Gandhi Has Been
Detriment To India
The two clever, quick-witted wo
men, Evelyn Nobach and Helen
Telford of Washington State col
lege, last night won the decision
over Jane Warner and Catherine
McGowan in a lively debate con
cerning the question, “Resolved,
that Gandhi has been a benefit to
India.”
The 90-pound hero of India, Ma
hatma Gandhi, was the subject for
, a heated discussion in which the
negative, upheld by the girls from
Washington State, maintained that
Gandhi hadn’t accomplished any
thing of importance to India, but
had virtually “set India back 300
years.” The two women from
Washington in turn pointed out
that Gandhi was a detriment to
India economically, socially, and
politically. Both Miss Nobach and
Miss Telford declared that Gandhi
in his non-violence revolt was de
liberately interfering with all plans
of Great Britain to aid India.
Oregon Has Affirmative
Miss Warner and Miss McGowan
in carefully prepared and well-de
livered speeches upheld Gandhi in
his nationalistic movement, saying
that “no one had understood the
masses like this great leader.”
They used Gandhi’s policy of home
industry and home rule, along with
the fact that he, himself, has been
a great spiritual leader to show
what a benefit he has been to In
dia.
Wayne L. Morse, associate pro
fessor of law at the University,
acted as a critic judge, rendering
the decision in favor of the nega
tive. Dr. Morse has been in the
past debate coach and teacher at
the University of Minnesota. It
was decided yesterday afternoon
that the debate would be a decision
contest instead of a non-decision
as planned previously.

the debate tour for Washington

Macduff brought this informa
tion back to the campus after
her trip to Springfield, where

Bill Finds That
"Herding Cans”
Is Real Problem
CAMPUS CENTER, Eugene,
I Feb. 10. Parking on this here
campus reminds me of a San
Francisco theater because there
! never are any spaces where you
can herd your can. Usually
turns out to be a "ride and
while" and “walk a while"
proposition when I want to get
to class. I never could see what
that space .over by the adminis
tration building couldn’t be
j made just a little larger.
Anyway at Oregon State the
cop is going to tag everybody
that doesn’t have a permit to
drive on the campus. It might
be a good money-making propo
sition to set up some rules like
that here and catch a few of
these Thirteenth tourists at a
dollar a throw.
Yours,
BILL ROTERS.

McGowan Miller
Injured in Water
Polo Practice
Ollier Injuries Help Blight
Hopes of Victory Over
O. S. C, Saturday
During an unusually rough wa
ter polo match between the var
sity and freshmen Monday night,
McGowan Miller received injuries
to two of his fingers. At the time
the fingers were thought to have
been sprained but doctors believe
one of them is either broken^or the
bone splintered. X-ray pictures
have since been taken and the re
sult will be known today. "Miller
is star dash man on 'the Oregon
squad and his loss will be felt
greatly,” said Jack Hewitt, varsity
swimming coach, last night.
The game which resulted in the
accident was one of the roughest
seen in the men's pool. It resulted
in several other men receiving
minor injuries. Edwin Cross,
freshman, received a badly cut
lip, Fred Sears devloped a bloody
nose at the time, and sevral oth
ers emerged from the tank with
bruises and minor cuts. Paul Laf
ferty has been vaccinated and has
not fully recovered.
Coach Hewitt has been working
hard to get his men in shape for
the meet this Saturday with the
Oregon State college. He will be
somewhat handicapped by the loss
of one of his star men, but he ex
pects the others to be in fairly
| good shape.
Frosli Will Meet
In Villard Today
Wcck-Eml Dance Proposeil
For Class Approval
The first freshman class meet
ing of the term will be held in
Villard assembly at 5 o’clock to
j day, according to John Kendall,
l president. ‘‘We want to discuss
class promotion of a Saturday
night dance at Cocoanut Grove,
this week-end,” declared Kendall.
"Since freshman men aren’t al
; lowed to attend the Senior ball,
and Frosh Glee is still a long ways
off, this is our best chance to or
ganize a freshman get-together,”
he continued. "Of course, we do
not intend to plan an exclusively
freshman dance, by any means.
' The class will merely sponsor the
1 affair.”
In Play Tonight

Jack Stipe anil Marian Camp
have important roles in the Guild
theatre comedy, “The Single Man,”
which will open a two-day run on
the campus tonight.
6The Single Man’
Staged Tonight
At Guild Hall
Comedy of English Home
Life Will Be Given
By Student Aetors
By ISABEIXE CROWELL
“The Single Man,” a four-act
comedy of English domestic life
will be presented at 8:15 tonight
in Guild theatre by the class in
technique of acting of the drama
department under the direction of
Cecil E. Matson, assistant in this
department. This play will again
be given tomorrow evening at the
same time.
Tonight will be the climax of
many weeks of rehearsals for the
cast and of much work by the
backstage crews. The dress re
hearsals have been as smooth as
cun be expected
Minor Details Fixed
Only minor details are being per
fected now. For instance, Neva
Lois Thompson must improve her
technique in throwing sugar lumps
and catching them in her mouth.
Eleanor Lewis had slight difficul
ty in getting up gracefully in a
long evening dress from a position
on the floor. Hobart Wilson was
shown the proper method for clos
ing the curtains when entertain
ing one’s secretary privately at
dinner. Inez Simons’ snag seemed
to be in lighting a match with the
first scratch.
And so a rehearsal goes, with
Martin Geory, stage manager,
poking his head around the cur
tains between scenes, Rosamund
Strieker climbing around in her
characteristic white cords arrang
ing the lighting effects, and Lou
ise Webber, property manager,
running about in a blue smock
placing things for the next act.
Wilson “Single Mon”
The action of the play takes
place in the study of a writer,
Robin Worthington, alias the “sin
gle man,” played by Hobart Wil
son. His brother, Captain Worth
ington (Jack Stipe) and his wife
(Marian Camp) and the baby,
played by a bundle of cloth, are
visiting him. The wife, carried
away with match-making instincts,
invites a girlhood friend whom she
thinks would make a good wife
for Robin.
This Miss Louise Parker of Lem
ington arrives just, as Robin an
nounces that he is engaged to
Maggie Cottrell, a very young girl
living next door. Complications
occur when Miss Parker appears

Washington State Quintet
Stages Desperate Rally
To Take Second Tilt
Oregon Jumps Into Lead
But Fails To Hold it;
Gordon High Again
(From the \V. S. C. Evergreen)
PULLMAN, Wash., Feb. 10.—
(Special to the Emerald)—With a
desperate rally in the last eight
minutes which netted them 12
points to knot the score at 30-all,
the Washington State Cougars
edged out the University of Ore
gon hoop quintet 35 to 32 in a
hard-fought contest here tonight.
Oregon took the lead at the very
start of the game when Eberhart
put in a free throw. The Lemon
Yellow cagers ran up a 10-to-6
lead only to have Wills put the
Cougars ahead 11 to 10 at half
time.
Rally Is Successful
The visitors piled up a com
manding lead in the second period
and it looked as though the Cou
gars were through for the night.
Their rally was more successful
than Oregon’s was last night, and
they scored 15 straight points to
obtain the lead, 33-30. Keenan,
Webfoot forward, tossed in a field
goal to tighten the score, but Gor
don, Cougar center, tossed in a
long one just as the gun sounded.
Roberts, Eberhart, and Stevens
played sensational ball for the vis
itors. Roberts and Eberhart, in
particular, worked some pretty
blocks on Gordon for several short
shots and rebounds. Horner’s floor
game was outstanding. Although
Gordon, Cougar center, chalked up
13 points, he was off his usual
| game. McLarney, Wills, and Pesco
starred for the Cougars.

Intercollegiate A.W.S. Head
Aims at Larger Organization
To incorporate several more
schools in the Oregon Intercolle
giate Associated Women Students
will be the chief aim of Ann Baum,
junior in sociology, and president
of the organization for the coming
year, it was revealed yesterday.
"I am going to concentrate a
great deal of my effort this year
on getting further organizations
into the group,” Ann said. “I
think that this can be done by
correspondence with influential
people, such as deans of women
and presidents of women’s organi
zations, on the various campi.”
Ann as junior delegate from the
A. W. S. became president of the
state organization automatically
when Oregon was selected as the
meeting place for the 1932 confer
ence. This year’s meeting, which
was attended by six universities,
colleges, and normal schools, was
held in Corvallis last Saturday,
and was presided over by Dorothy
Kirk.
“I think the chances are pretty
good for enlarging the state or
ganization, ’’Ann continued. “There
were representatives from six in
stitutions present at the confer
ence Saturday, but there are 14
schools of higher learning in Ore
gon. I hope to get at least half
of the remaining schools into the
organization next year.
"Part of this can be done by
sending these schools material on
what we have to offer them, and
then we can show them what a
unified group such as the A. W. S.
can do for a campus. It furthers
and strengthens all other women’s
organizations on a campus, and if
we can only convince these other
schools of this, I think we should
