Oregon Offers
Better Course
For Fine Arts
Foundation for Career Is
Broader Here, AWS
Y Speaker Says
Bertlia Stuart, Portland
Interior Decorator,
Talks to Women
The fine arts course in the
school of architecture and allied
arts which the University offers is
better preparation for a commer
cial art career than any art school
course, was the assertion of Miss
Bertha Stuart, interior decorator
of Portland, Tuesday afternoon
when she spoke before a large
number of women in Alumni hall
on commercial art as a vocation.
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

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.

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

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.
Frosh To Debate
On Trade Policy
Against Utah Men
Bennett and Stutsman Will
Meet Weber College
This Evening
George Bennett and Carl Stuts
man, members of the freshman
men’s debate team, will meet two
representatives from Weber col
lege, Ogden, Utah, in a non-deci
sion debate tonight at 105 Com
merce building.
The Oregon debaters will uphold
the affirmative of the question,
"Resolved, that the nations should
adopt a policy of free trade.” This
is the question that the freshman
men are debating throughout the
forensic season. 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.
The talk will describe the east
ern highlands of Brazil, the fam
ous city of Sao Paulo, and give an
idea of the coffee industry in the
country. A glimpse of Rio de Jan
eiro, the most beautiful harbor in
the world will be given, the city
being described as it looked just
after the revolution.
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,

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.

Oregon Takes
Another From
Vandals, 42-21
Duck Combination Shows
Good Team Work in
One-Sided Fray
Horner Plays Outstanding
Game; Calkins Tops
Scorers With 10
By BRUCE HAMBY
Oregon made it four straight
over the Idaho Vandals as they
turned back the visitors, 42 to 21,
last night at the Igloo in a loosely
played game.
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

New Constitution
Club Will Now Be Known
As Tonqueds
A constitution was formerly
adopted by the Tonqueds, an or
ganization composed of Eugene
girls attending the University, at
a meeting held yesterday after
noon.
Instead of being called the
Town Girls’ club, the group will
now be known by the name of Ton
queds, adopted at the last meeting.
This is the third year that the
organization has been active on
the campus. The principal func
tion of the group is to bring all
Eugene girls together in a social
way and to furnislr the University
with hostesses during the summer
sessions.
The next meeting is to be held
the first Tuesday in March, when
new officers will be elected.
Members of the nominating
committee appointed by Louise

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.
