Miss Stuart declared that the course the University gives is a ^ much broader foundation for a ca reer than the purely art education given by art schools. Fields Are Crowded “Most fields of work in the com mercial art profession are very overcrowded,” Miss Stuart told the girls. “This puts the question of whether a girl is going to get a job when she finishes school on herself even more than in profes sions where the field is not full. It is a question of the individual herself. She must keep on going, and keep on trying and trying. "The commercial artist must be very adaptable,” Miss Stuart con tinued. “Very often one has a beautiful scheme all ready for her client, but it will not suit him. Then one has to make a new plan, or three or four new plans before the client is satisfied. You must remember that as a commercial artist you are serving the public. You are working in a touch and go sort of art. You must not be stiff-necked and high-hat; you are t expected to deliver the goods.” Artists Not Well Paid Commercial artists are not well paid as a rule, Miss Stuart said, although the range of wages or commissions is very great on ac count of the varied ability of dif ferent workers. The people who have done very well in the com mercial art world to receive very high prices for their work, Miss Stuart asserted, have had years of hard labor to pay for what they do now. “It js important to remember that interior decorating is a pro fession,” the Portland decorator reminded her listeners, “and that one of the great obstacles to it is that any woman thinks she can be a decorator. Consequently there are so many women jump ing into the profession that a great deal of superficial work is being done.” Start With Blueprints The most satisfactory way for ^ an interior decorator to work, Miss Stuart declared, is to be able to start with the blueprints before the house is completed. She should work with the mistress of the house, if possible, for “two women getting their heads together often find something that needs to be changed which a man would over look.” The fact that a girl does not put her fine arts course to practi cal use when she finishes school should not cause her to feel that (Continued on Page Four) Mrs. Blanchard Thanks Students rJ''HF. junior class Tuesday was in receipt of a letter from Mrs. O. N. Blanchard, thanking them for their expression of sympathy in the recent death of Jack Blanchard, junior in the University and a member of Chi Psi. The letter is as follows: “Dear good friends: “We feel deeply touched, in our grief over the untimely de parture of our boy Jack, by the expression of your sympathy. God bless you all. Would that we could meet you one at a time to let you know how you have helped us share our loss. “Sincerely, “MRS. O. N. BLANCHARD.” Junior Shine Day Is Postponed Due To Rainy Weather INo Definite Date Given For Campus Footwear To Be Polished Junior Shine day is postponed until further notice, according to in announcement from John Pen land, general chairman of the event, last night. “Due to the recent unsettled con dition of the weather, and to the fact that it was raining last night, we thought it best to postpone ac tivities until the weather is such that we are assured at least a rea sonable amount of sunshine," said Penland. “Ticket sales to have taken place last night at men's houses have been postponed with other plans until just before the advent of shine day,” he continued, “and the junior men who were to have ap plied the shines have been notified that they may continue practice on the art of polishing until fur ther notice.” A number of tickets have al ready been sold, according to Con lie Baker, in charge of ticket sales, and sales will continue until the event is given. “No definite date has been set for the advent of the shine day activities,” stated Penland, “for the reason that it is impossible to adequately forecast the weather. However,” he continued, “if it is at all possible, the campus shoes will be given the traditional polish ing-up some day next week, prob ably on Wednesday or Friday.” Business Ad Background Advised for Journalists “One of the best ways for stu dents to enter the newspaper busi ness is to acquire a preliminary background in business adminis tration,” William M. Tugman, managing-editor of the Eugene Register-Guard, told a gathering of Alpha Kappa Psi, national pro fessional commerce fraternity, at the group's regular Seminar meet ing last Monday. Dealing with the subject, “Busi ness Problems of the Newsaper,” Mr. Tugman outlined the general nature of the newspaper as a bus iness, and its relationship to other businesses. He also discussed the relation of editorial policy to the business side of the paper. The commerce group will hold a meeting Thursday, Roy Wilkinson, president, announced. Pen Campus Traditions and Ideals Exert Lasting Influence on Lives of Students, Says Dr. Hall. By ARNOLD BENNETT HALL Some time ago I had the privi lege of dining with a group of distinguished men. The conversa-1 tion turned to the subject of the value that each of us had received from our college days. There was almost instant agreement that the fact-cramming courses had been of little, if any, permanent value. The facts were too soon forgotten and the men whose teaching had been characterized by that process were not long remembered. On the other hand, there was al most as definite agreement that one of the two things that had been of permanent value was con tact with certain instructors whose rich personality, whose stimulat ing genius in inspiring students in •f individual thinking, had left deep ly implanted the spirit of intellect ual adventure. Every faculty has on it some men who have the rare genius of stimulating and inspir ing leadership and thoughtful stu dents will find a way into the classes of such men, regardless oi the content of their courses, in or der to reap the rich benefits that come from such associations. The only other point that was agreed upon was that the influence of friendships and of campus tradi tions and ideals had exerted a last ing and helpful influence upon the lives of these men. It is in this latter fact that the student per haps finds his greatest responsibil lty and hte fullest opportunity, foi campus ideals and the richness o: campus friendships are things ovei (Continued on Page Two)[ Calcuttan Will Discourse on Indian Politics Dr. Kalidas Nag Will Speak On India's Place in World Affairs Art and Archaeology To Be Topic of the Second Night Lecture Dr. Kalidas Nag, of the Univer sity of Calcutta, will visit the Ore gon campus February 19 and 20, giving an address each evening. On Thursday evening the well known authority on India will lec ture on some phase of the political life of that country, probably in cluding a discussion of India’s place in international affairs. “Art and Archaeology of In dia” will be Dr. Nag’s subject in Friday evening’s lecture. Discussion To Be Held The political discussion will be held in Gerlinger hall at 7:30, un der the auspices of the Interna tional Relations club. Friday’s talk on art will be sponsored by the school of architecture and al lied arts, the time and place not yet having been announced. Dr. Nag, who is lecturer in art and archaeology and history at the University of Calcutta, is at pres ent making a lecture tour of nu merous American universities and colleges for the purpose of gather ing first hand material for a hand book on “The Cultural Centers of the United States,” a work com missioned by the Greater India society. Speaker Is Scholar The visiting speaker has had an unusually scholarly career in In dia, Europe, and the far-east. In 1919 he made a survey of the ar chaeological relics of a number of cities in Ceylon. From 1921 to 1923 he studied in Europe, spend ing most of his time in Paris and London, and earning his doctorate in 1923 at the University of Paris. Commissioned in 1924 by the University of Calcutta to examine and study the remains of ancient Indian art and culture, Dr. Nag visited the historical sites of Bur ma and Malaya, of China and Ja pan, of French Indo-China and the Dutch East Indies. His present po sition in Calcutta he received in 1925. At the eleventh session of the League of Nations assembly, Dr. Nag acted as collaborator from In dia, and at the close of the session was elected president of the col laborators’ group. "Modern I n d i a,” “Women’s Movement in India,” and “The Changing Position of the Masses in India in Molding Public Opin ion” are among the speaker’s top ics, and he is also prepared to dis cuss phases of India's literary achievements. He is a close friend of Rabindranath Tagore, leading Hindu poet, and holder of the No bel prize for literature. Dr. Nag comes with recommen dations as a speaker with a natur al simplicity and eloquence, and with an effective approach to his audiences. He speaks almost fault less English and dresses in typical American style. Soph Class Plans Show This Term Student Meeting Considers Three Propositions . At a meeting of the sophomore class last night plans for an an nual sophomore winter term ac tivity were brought up and dis cussed, according to Jim Travis, president of the class. “Three forms of activity were considered,” said Travis, “a dance, a dinner, and a show. It w'as de cided that the show would be the more practical of the three and I that it would in all probability be the most profitable.” The show will be given on a week-end at the McDonald theatre, i with an array of campus talent | preceding the regular scheduled | show. It "has been arranged with the management to start the show early enough to allow dates fol lowing the program, Travis said. Appointments will be announced the last of this week, Travis an nounced and the show will take place before the end of the term, probably in about two weeks. People of Wendling To See Westminster Student Play Entertainment Will Be Furnished Town Free Tonight Vying for honors with the drama department comes the play “The Neighbors,” by Zona Gale, which goes “on the road,” so to speak, tonight under the auspices of the extension division of the Univer sity and nearby granges with an initial performance in the recrea tion building at Wendling, Oregon. It seems that in Wendling, a town of about a thousand persons near Eugene, they are finding things pretty slack these days, even in the entertainment line, and the director of recreation is hav ing a tough time of it rounding up material because there are no finances available. Even movies are out of the question, so the Westminster Guild and Forum * groups have offered to put on the play they have just finished as a free entertainment, and as a re sult, Wendling has guaranteed a full house for the production. The cast of 12 students which will make the trip, with the coach, Mrs. Maxwell Adams, are Dorothy Shaw, Alice Redetzke, Lloyd Suth erland, Allan Proctor, Dorothy Morgan, Gwendolyn Metzger, Mar ian Johnes, and Eleanor Loner gan. Arrangements are now being made to schedule the play for presentation at Albany, Corvallis, Salem, Cottage Grove, and at the Central Presbyterian church in Portland on March 1. Other per formances are being arranged in various small towns throughout the state as a part of the applied social science and extension divi sions’ community service. The project was planned by Dr. Philip A. Parsons and Mrs. Mozelle Hair.

The members of the Weber college team are on a tour which will include a number of schools in the Northwest. This is the second debate for the freshman team. The first battle was a non-decision with North west Nazarene college, Nampa, Idaho, in which the Oregon fresh man upheld the negative of the same question they are debating this evening. On Thursday afternoon the freshman men will meet debaters from Monmouth Normal school and will uphold the affirmative of the same question.

Brazil To Be Subject of Smith's Seventh Lecture Brazil is the subject for the sev enth of the series of ten lectures on “A Visit to South America,” be ing given tonight by Dr. Warren D. Smith, professor of geology, who has recently returned from the southern continent. The lec tures which are being sponsored by the University extension divis ion, take place at Condon hall at 7:30.

Officials Predict Large Crowd for Coming Concert Portland Symphony Will Visit Campus on AUSO Music Series The full corps of the Portland Symphony orchestra, some 70 of the finest musicians in Portland, will be brought to Eugene on Sun day, February 22, for the concert the orchestra is to give at Mc Arthur court that afternoon undei the auspices of the associated stu dents. Coming as a climax to this year's series of A. S. U. O. concerts, the symphony concert is expected to attract a larger crowd of students than have attended any of the three concerts which have already been given this year. Will Not Conflict “We arranged to have the sym phony concert on Sunday after noon,” said Ronald H. Robnett, as sistant graduate manager, yester day, “in order to allow the many students we know would like to attend to come without conflict of studies and social engagements which keeps many of them from concerts which are given in the evening. As with other concerts on the series, students will be admitted upon presentation of their student body cards and without charge. The ticket sale for townspeople and faculty members will open Monday or Tuesday at the Co-op, the A. S. U. O. office, and at Mc Morrap and Washburne’s. Appearance Is Third This year’s visit will be the third which the Portland "Symphony or chestra has paid the University in the last five years. In 1927, when the orchestra’s noted conductor, Willem van Hoogstraten, had just assumed the directorship, the con cert appearance in Eugene was made notable by the University's conferring an honorary doctor of music degree upon Hoogstraten. Since Hoogstraten assumed con trol, the national prestige of the Portland orchestra has advanced steadily, and today it is ranked as one of the ten bast in the country. Ah, Yes, Students Are Great Lovers Of Art, Says Bill CAMPUS CENTER, Eugene, Feb. 17.—Yesterday I left my lair and ambled down past the Co-op. A bunch of students were interestedly peering in the window. Of course I had to see what was going on. To my sur prise the center of attention was a picture of a big brawny man and woman engaging in a necking party. Mercy, they were nude. Was it being ad mired as a fine piece of art? Of course I am sure that is the angle from which the students were viewing it. No doubt it was appealing strongly to their spiritual emotions. I was pleas ed, yes, very pleased, to know that students could so admire the work of a great artist. Yours, — BILL ROTERS.

Oregon Graduate Successful Actor James Lyons Has Lead in ‘Wings Over Europe’ Many students will recall the dramatic success of James Lyons during the last two years as the lead in "If I Were King,” “The Importance of Being Earnest,” and "The Yellow Jacket.” He also played in the campus movie, “Ed’s Co-ed." Mr. Lyons is now at Stan ford, and his even greater success there as the lead in the modern play, “Wings Over Europe,” is told in the Oakland Tribune. In regard to his part of Light foot, Wood Soanes, critic, says, “James Lyons, as the mad genius with the powerful but infinitesimal bomb in his hand, gave a magnifi cent performance; one that will not only stand a professional test, but out-distance the best efforts of most professional players. Ly ons gave something more to Light foot than a frenzied recitation. He was the scientist, the zealot, the fanatic from crown to toe, and he never varied one iota during the strenuous presentation.” Lyons, in a note to Mrs. Sey bolt, director of the drama de partment, said that the part was the most difficult he had ever un dertaken. The play, having an all male cast, is a recent New York success and was presented for th< first time by a little theatre grouj at Stanford university a short tim< ago.

The Webfoot starting combina tion, consisting of Dolp, Calkins, ! Eberhart, Stevens, and Horner, turned in some of the best team work displayed this year at times during the fray. For the most part, however, both teams threw 1 the ball away frequently. Idaho Scores First The Vandals jumped into a three-point lead at the start when Drummond and Hale scored a field goal and free throw. For the next 15 minutes, Dolp, Eberhart, and Calkins scored consistently to run up 21 points before Lacy, Idaho guard, finally located the basket. Hall and Drummond again added three points for the visitors and Roberts sank a field goal to end the half 23 to 8 in favor of the Ducks. Both teams played raggedly I during most of the second canto. Although few fouls were called, the game was quite rough, with I players on both teams taking i many unnecessary spills. The J Vandals tried hard to even up the ' | score, but the Webfoot lead was 1 too great and the game ended 42 ' to 21. Hornei1 Stars ’ Cliff Horner, veteran guard, i turned in his outstanding game of f the season, to lead the Webfoots.

Joint Recital Last Evening Pleases Large Audience By BILLIE GARDINER In their joint recital last night, I Miss Norma Lyon, pianist, and Eugene Pearson, baritone, pre sented a varied and interesting program. Miss Lyon, a sophomore in mu sic and a pupil of Mrs. Jane Thatcher, professor of piano, held her audience with utmost interest. From the first her selections were j played with perfect confidence. I The first group, consisting of three j varied pieces, showed the usual j technique and talent combined of I a third-year student. However, j her last group was by far the best. | The first of this group, “Scenes from Childhood," by Schumann, was realistically interpreted. Her most outstanding number on the program was Neimana’s Geisha Dance. In this, her last number. Miss Lyon brought out unusual technique in interpreting the danc ing of Japanese maidens. In his songs which were sung in English, Mr. Pearson, a junior in music and a pupil of Arthur Boardman, head of the voice de partment, showed that he enjoyed singing them. His last group, con sisting of two songs by Keel, "Trade Winds" and "Mother Ca rey," and "The Green -Eyed Dragon” by Charles, were greatly enjoyed by the audience. His whole energy was given to these three songs. The first and second groups, consisting of songs in French and Italian, were not as good as the last group. Miss Frances Harland accompa nied Mr. Pearson.
