Uniform System Of Accounting in Cities Is Urged Professor Kelly Draws Up Mimieipal Plan Making For Efficieney Cities in Oregon, by adoption of a standard, uniform system of municipal accounting, not only can set up a rnpre efficient city ad ministration, but such a system can be a distinct asset in a pro motional way, it is pointed out here by business experts of the University, who have recently re ceived copies of the uniform sys tem devised by C. L. Kelly, pro fessor of business administration, and a committee working under the direction of Hal E. Hoss, sec retary of state. Copies Now Ready The uniform system was drawn up in accordance with an act of the 1929 legislature, and copies are now available to any munici pality which applies for them. With this system in operation, extremely valuable data can be obtained quickly for commercial or industrial organizations planning on establishing branches or plants in different Oregon localities, it is shown. Also, comparative data can easily be kept, so that the progress of the city from year to year can be noted. Another great advantage of a uniform system is that the various cities can exchange data on va rious phases and this may result in greater efficiency and in some cases an actual saving, since ex perience of others can be utilized. Plan Modern One The plan is based on the double entry system and upon the use of columnar records and controlling accounts. All forms are strictly in line with modern accepted prin ciples of municipal accounting. Working with Mr. Kelly on the system were Conda J. Ham, C.P.A., of Portland; John W. Butler, city recorder, Marshfield; W. B. Dil lard, county clerk, Eugene; Sephus W. Starr, C.P.A., Salem. Mental Imagery Tests Conducted by Students Tests to determine the funda mental differences of persons in mental imagery, are being con ducted by the advanced experi mental psychology class, using Dr. Crossland’s beginning psychology class subjects. The tests, which deal with vis ion, hearing, tasting, etc., are con ducted by having the subjects read or see a series of words or a short problem in mental arithmetic. It is thought that the results will be published.

It grieves me to see him in ill health, unable just now to perform the activities that made up his life of service to Oregon. “To me, Dean Straub embodies all the traditions of Oregon,” the bishop continued, “and it is these traditions that have underlain all the growth that the University has made. "It has been a remarkable prog ress, and I have watched with great interest the physical and cultural changes apparent during the seventeen visits I have made here for conferences. “I can remember distinctly the old football field in the place now occupied by the new Fine Arts museum. As we sat in the rain and cheered the team, the players would have to help each other out of the mud in which the one at the bottom of the scrimmage could easily have been drowned. "All these new buildings are only a natural part of the growth of the institution. But there have been changes in personnel, too, that are, to me, more interesting. “A different type of student now Attends the University, no finer than the former, but more representative of the population of the state. They conform more to an average age and are a cross section of the young people in the state. “The only thing X would have otherwise,” Bishop Sumner de clared, "is that more of them would at least begin with the def inite goal of graduation. I am be ginning to discount any statement that a student ‘attended’ the Uni versity of Oregon, and value highly the fact that he ‘graduated’ therefrom. "The strength of a university depends upon the achievements of its student.3, and those who show a creditable four-year course are reasonably certain of success in fu ture life. “I sincerely hope that every Oregon student, who is able, will complete a four-year course and go through life with the back ground that this will give. Then will the traditions and hopes and services of Oregon’s great people, like Dean Straub, be repaid.” WHAT SHOW TONIGHT ? Colonial — Pauline Frederick in “The Sacred Flame.” Heilig — Lewis Ayres in “The Doorway to Hell.” Last day. McDonald— Bancroft, Brook, Francis in “The Scandal Sheet.” Last day. Rex — La Plante and Boles in “Captain of the Guard.” State — Joe Brown in "Top Speed.” McDonald Drama Fine Today is your last chance to see a first rate drama dealing with a yellow newspaper, “The Scandal Sheet,” playing at the McDonald theatre. Without any of the elaborately faked atmosphere that makes spectacles out of many pictures dealing with an evil influence in a profession, it tells a simple, direct, and highly dramatic story of the editor of a scandal sheet, whose desire for news that will gain cir culation, ruins the lives of the in nocent. “The Scandal Sheet” is today the best picture in town. Much of its success is due to three of the few intelligent actors in Hollywood, George Bancroft, Clive Brook, and Kay Francis. Boles and LuPlante in Rex Film “Captain >of the Guards,” a dra matic-musical spectacle of the French revolution, co-starring John Boles and Laura LaPlante, is the Rex feature for this week. The picture brings Charles Wakefield Cadman, America's foremost living composer, to the singing screen for the first time, with specially written music that is rated to become immensely pop ular because of its haunting melo dies. The Marseilles, itself, the dra matic national hymn of France, is the inspiration for this film, an intense story of the conflict that is known as the French revolution. Boles takes the role of Rouget de Lisle, the composer, and Miss La Plante is a leader of a revolution ary band, known as the “Torch.” (iangland Depleted in Heilig Film The inside dope on the organi zation of a Chicago racketeers’ mob and how its terrorist activities are carried out, is the core of the current Heilig feature, "The Door way to Hell,” which closes today. "Lewis Ayres, who made himself famous for his work in "All Quiet on the Western Front,” takes the leading role of a young gangster boss, caught in his own traps while trying to leave the profession. A good picture. Charles Judels plays his usual very likeable role as an officer of the law with gentle man ners. Pauline Frederick! at Colonial Coming to the Colonial today in the picturization of the most popu lar play of her career, “The Sacred Flame,” Pauline Frederick once more impresses one with the fact that there are few living women whose dramatic art is so superbly understood by herself and relayed to the audience with a fascinating repression and feeling for true dramatic expression.

Most of his life, however, was spent at Wainanae on the island of Oahu. There Henry’s parents still live. He was educated, how ever at Honolulu, where he attend ed the Katnehameha school. Of this school Henry has a lot to say for it was there that he first be came desirous of coming to Ameri ca. The school, which is limited to only Hawaiian boys and girls, was endowed by the last princess of the Kamehameha dynasty, Ber nice Pauahi Bishop. This woman who was very beautiful and of no ble character, had the foresight to see the need of a school for native Hawaiians, and she thus made it possible for education to be car ried to many who would have oth erwise been unable to receive the cherished learning they desired. In this school, as well as in all the other schools throughout the islands, the majority of teachers are Americans, although there are some who were educated in the native schools. Most of the stu dents in Hawaii finish high school, though they are more inclined to study trades than devote them selves to the academic courses. "Honolulu,” says Henry, "offers many chances for the student to work his way through school, and the number of young people avail ing themselves of this opportunity is quite evident of the desire for education in Hawaii.” In the primitive times the Ha waiians worshipped various gods which represented to them certain elements of nature. The command ing deity of all was Ono, to whom all other gods acknowledged alle giance. There were gods of war, of beauty, of the hunt, of fish, of the weather, and of various other ele ments which entered into Hawaii's daily life. Kukuena, goddes of the lei and beauty, was one of their most loved deities, for the Hawai ian people are lovers of beauty. The goddess, Pele, sister of Vol cano, was the one to whom the people offered sacrifices of berries and roast pig during times of vol canic eruption. As a code of eth 4cs the native Hawaiians had what they called kapus#(our term for taboos). According to one of these rules it was unlawful for men and j women to eat together. This kapu, however, was early broken down ! by a native prince. There were I certain places one couldn’t go, and by no means was a common citi zen to let his shadow fall across that of a chieftain. The kapus also made it unlawful for anyone to kill another person without provo cation. Modem religions have, however, made strong inroads upon Hawaii, and there are many Christian con verts in the islands. Buddhism is also growing stronger among the natives. The missionaries are re ; sponsible for a great deal of mod ernization of Hawaii, but Henry Kaahea often wonders if the new order of things have been a greater benefit than harm. “For,” he says, “the old Hawaiian race is dying off, and one must travel far into the interior regions to find the old type of Hawaiian. Once the people were strong and large, typical of outdoor, healthy people. However, the white man came. He clothed us in his garb, and made us live in houses typical of those used by his people. He overlooked the fact that the conditions of Hawaii were different than those of his own country, and that we were accus tomed to live in a far different way than he. Consequently the Hawai ians of today are far removed in physical condition from what their fathers once were.” Kaahea is proud of his native race. He loves their characteris tics of generosity, of hospitality, and courtesy. “In Hawaii,” he says, “the people extend to strangers the best of everything they have. There, unlike in America, it’s not just the handshaking. The people mean their displayal of hospital ity.” The Hawaiians, according to Henry, are always care-free and happy. This leads many Ameri cans to believe them lazy and shiftless. Such an idea, however, is erroneous because it is the na ture of the people to be joyous. All their beautiful surroundings force Ithem to be happy, and from their very earliest childhood this char acteristic is being bred into them. Kaahea is well known on the I campus because of his singing at | numerous functions. He also sings each Sunday afternoon, from 4:30 ; to 5 o’clock over station KORE. Mixing modern jazz with beautiful Hawaiian melodies he hums his way into the hearts of all who ! hear him. I. _ Two Women Debaters Leave for Washington Mary Caniparoli and Bernice Conoly, women debaters, left yes terday afternoon on the first lap of their debate tour. The two women departed on the Cascade, and were to have arrived in Seat tle sometime today. They will debate the University of Washington this evening, up holding the negative of the ques tion, ‘‘Resolved: That Gandhi has been a benefit to India.” The de bate will be a non-decision con test, in which the debaters will use the cross-question method in stead of a rebuttal. Only Five Students Now Confined to Infirmary Once again, after the last hectic, busy week, the University infirm ary has settled down to its ordin ary daily routine. The beginning ! of the week found only five stu dents confined to the care of the University health officials. Carrol Watson is confined as a result of mumps, but is not in a serious condition. According to Jlargaret Colahan, nurse in charge, the other patients are confined due to colds and sore throats, but on the whole, the health situation is not in a bad condition at this time. The students now confined at the infirmary, besides Watson, are: Roberta Mills, Christine McCul lough, William Manning, and Har old King.

Seymour’s Cafe It’s January 1 Today by Old t Chinese Calendar Reckoning Jregon Student Pictures Former Celebration Of Holiday By SLEANOR JANE BALEANTYNE Although very few of the Chin ese still observe the old style of *Jew Year’s celebration, the cus ume is not so old but that it can )e clearly recalled by one student >n this campus—King Yat Chen, i Chinese student who is a fresh nan in business administration. Many people may not realize hat today is Chinese New Year, )ut since the old Chinese calendar s quite different from our own, yesterday was December 31, and oday is January 1, in its estima ion. According to this old calen lar, the first moon marks the be ginning of January, the second the jeginning of February, and so on hroughout the year. “Very few Chinese v now have he old New Year,” said Mr. Chan. 'They have it as it is here.” He very obligingly described the mcient custom of celebrating the dew Year, however, which he daims corresponds to our Christ nas. The houses are decorated limply by putting a picture on the vail, with a table containing can ly, nuts and fruit at its base. Fire :rackers are strung around the louse, also. “At New Year’s every person, lusiness man, and farmer stops vork for half a month,” Mr. Chan :ontinued. “They only eat and alk.” The schools, too, he said, lave a long vacation, which ends ifter the fifteenth of the month. There is no street celebration such as ours on New Year’s eve, iut on the night of December 31 ;here is a big banquet. Then at 12 o’clock all the little boys be ween 12 and 15 years old get out >f bed and get a little tree, which hey carry through the streets, jailing out wishes of good luck for heir fathers and their family as hey go. Then they return home. X.t about 6:30 they get up again o offer up prayers for an hour or their family, and their fath :r’s prosperity. They go to bed igain and the next time they arise ill the little boys and girls in the amily receive gifts of money from heir parents. On this day every one dresses up very nicely, accord ing to Mr. Chan. The Chinese New Year's resem bles our Christmas in that during this time there is a day set aside, January 4, to worship their Ances tors, similar to our Christmas church service, and the dinners which are given on December 31 and January 1, are similar to our Christmas and New Year’s dinners. 0 Mr. Chan has been in this coun try not quite a year, having ar rived in San Francisco on March 19, 1930. He is taking finance in the business administration course, and hopes some time to do “some thing” in the Chinese government. He came to the University from ^ the Canton Christian college in Canton, a school which Walter E. Hempstead Jr., teacher of debate, visited on the round-the-world debate tour in 1927.
