* Adele Wedemeyer Chosen
General Chairman
Of Dances
Spring Functions on List
For Portland and
3 Other Cities
With the announcement of the
appointment of Adele Wedemeyer
as chairman of the spring vaca
tion dances to be given by the
Associated Women Students, and
with the organization of commit
tees in three of the four cities in
which the dances will be given,
plans are getting well under way.
Miss Wedemeyer was recently
appointed chairman of this impor
^ tant project by Margaret Cum
mings, president of the A. W. S.
Dances in f our Cities
Under the plan to be used this
year, the dances will be given in
only four cities in the state. Last
year, according to Miss Wede
meyer, the college affairs were
put on in 12 or 15 towns through
out the state, with the result that
several failed to make enough
profit to warrant attempting them
a second time. With their efforts
concentrated on fewer dances, a
more considerable profit is ex
pected.
The dances will be very infor
mal and are expected to be a big
drawing card for University of
Oregon students living in and near
communities where they will be
given. They will be sponsored in
Portland, Astoria, Klamath Falls,
and Medford. Last year was the
first time the A. W. S. attempted
this form of getting funds.
Portland Chairmen Named
Irma Logan and Slug Palmer
f have been appointed by Miss
Wedemeyer to be in charge of the
affair at Portland. In Klamath
Falls, Maryellen Bradford will
have charge, Alice Holmback in
Medford, and Maxine Reid in As
toria.
Committees appointed by the
chairmen are as follow:
Astoria—D e c o r ations, Roland
Larson; refreshments, Edith Pe
terson; music, Stan Brooks; fea
ture, Fred Hellberg; patrons,
Helen Laitanen.
Klamath Falls—Tickets, Hubert

Deuel, Swenson Speak
Ai Honorary Luncheon
Merrill Swensen and Bud Deuel,
^ both members of Phi Delta Phi,
national professional legal honor
ary, were speakers at the meeting
of the organization Thursday night
at the College Side. They confined
their talks to legal questions.
Plans for future meetings and
speakers who will address the
group at those times were an
nounced by Lester Johnson, presi
dent of the honorary.
He Pans ’Em, and
How They Like It
uIIE pans collegians, and they
like It.” Such were the
words used by the California
Daily Bruin in describing L. C.
Ward, lightning caricature art
ist, who is now working the
University of Oregon campus,
drawing caricatures and por
traits of the members of the liv
ing organizations.
A profile view, a few quick
lines, a flick of the wrist, a dash
of ink, and presto! There you
are as others see you. That de
scribes Ward’s method.
The artist’s first stop yester
day was at the Phi Sig house,
where he was kept hard at work
for nine hours, drawing carica
tures and portraits of the mem
bers. Doc Robnett, Professor
Louis Artau, and Dr. Meno
Span were among his victims.
Ward, who is a newspaper
man, musician, radio whistler,
tap dancer, and artist, has spent
a number of months traveling
around among the larger univer
sities of the country, and plans
to visit nearly every organiza
tion on the campus before he
leaves.

From The President’s Pen
Habit of Critical and Intelligent Observation Valuable One,
Doctor Hall Points Out.
A
t
By ARNOLD BENNETT HALL
In a recent national campaign
one of the national campaign com
mittees issued several million cop
ies of a card which on one side
promised the laboring men that
they would cut down the cost of
living until it was reduced to the
size of their pay check. On the
other side of the card they prom
ised the farmers more money for
their grain, beef, poultry, milk, and
other necessities of life that the
farmers sold. I was called in by
one of the national campaign offi
cers to criticize the campaign lit
erature. I called attention to the
fact that the promises on the op
posite sides of this card were con
tradictory. They obviously could
not lower the price of poultry to
the wage earner and yet raise it
for the farmer.
The campaign officer smiled
when this was called to his atten
tion and said, “.Well, it is too bad
that we put them on opposite sides
of the same card.” At the close of
the campaign the same officer told
me that no one else, not even their
political opponents, had called their
attention to the impossible char
acter of these two conflicting
promises. Yet five million copies
had been sent out throughout the
country.
This was a striking evidence of
how most of us are lacking in the
habit of critical observation. We
don’t observe inconsistencies in
campaign literature. We permit
ourselves to be misled by prepos
terous campaign proposals. We
buy advertised articles where the
advertising on its face shows glar
ing inconsistencies. We accept be
liefs that ripen into convictions in
the very face of evidence to the
contrary on every hand. This ap
parently is due to our failure to
form the habit of observing and

Health Nursing
Will Be Subject
Of A. W. S. Talk
Elnora Thomson Will Be
Principal Speaker
On Program
Public health nursing is the sub
ject of next week's vocational
guidance talk, it was announced
yesterday by the Associated
Women Students committee, which
is sponsoring the series of talks.
Miss Elnora E. Thomson, profes
sor of applied sociology and direc
tor of nursing education at the
school of applied social science in
Portland, will be the speaker at
Tuesday's meeting. Miss Thomson
has been on the University of Ore
gon faculty, at the school of ap
plied social science, for eight
years, from 1921-23, and since
1925.
“Keep Well” Is Theme
“Public health nurses,” ex
plained Dr. Philip A. Parsons, dean
of the school of applied social sci
ence, “have charge of health edu
cation in an entire county. They
conduct well-baby clinics, and
teach mothers how to keep their
children healthy. Public health
nursing is, in the main, preventive
work, teaching people how to keep
well.”
Miss Thomson is considered very
well equipped to speak on her
work as a vocation for women, as
she has had extensive training in
the field. She took a regular
nurse’s training course in a Chi
cago hospital, and also took pub
lic health nursing in psychiatry in
that city. She was executive sec
retary of the Illinois Society for
Mental Hygiene for some time, and
also director of the public health
nursing course in the Chicago
School of Civics and Philanthropy.
In 1917-18 she was a member of
the American Red Cross Tubercu
losis commission to Italy.
Held Other Offices
In 1921, Miss Thomson came to
Portland to accept the position
she now holds. Two years later
j she was in charge of the San
; Francisco office, Pacific division
(of the American Child Health as
sociation. In this work she en
deavored to stimulate child health
work in the West. She later took
over the supervision of health edu
cation and public health nursing
in the Commonwealth foundation
demonstration in Marion county.
Returning to the University in
1925, Miss Thomson has remained
here ever since. She teaches a
course fall term on the campus for
freshman girls who are taking the
five-year course in public health
nursing. In the spring term she
teaches another class here for
sophomore women taking the pub
lic health course. In Portland, as
well as being in charge of the
public health nursing course in the
school of applied social science,
she has charge of the extension
work of the school in two Port
land hospitals.
President of N. A. N.
The coming speaker has been
prominent in activities of the Na
tional American Nurses' associa
tion, and last year was elected
[president of the national organiza
tion, which position she will hold
'until June. She has been on sev
eral national committees for a
| number of years,
i The talk will be held in Alumni
hall, Tuesday at 4 o’clock. It is
not known how long Miss Thom
son will be here, but announce
ment will be made in Tuesday’s

Direct Concert
Here Sunday
Conductor Will Bring 70
Musicians to Campus
On ASUO Program
Immortal Music of Noted
Composers Selected
For Collegians
Enjoyment of the immortal mu
sic of Beethoven, Wagner, and
Tschaikovski will head the activity
list of the Oregon student body to
morrow afternooon, when the
Portland Symphony orchestra will
appear in concert at McArthur
court.
The concert will be free to all
students, but. presentation of stu
dent body cards at the door will
be a strict requirement for admis
sion, warns Ronald Robnett, assist
ant graduate manager.
Concert at 3 o’clock
Playing under the direction of
its distinguished conductor, Wil
lem van Hoogstraten, the sym
phonic ensemble of 70 will present
a two-hour concert, beginning
promptly at 3 o’plock.
For this concert, the third that
the Portland orchestra has given
on the University campus in the
last five years, Director van Hoog
straten has arranged a program
designed especially for a college
audience. Beethoven’s Fifth Sym
phony, one of the best known of
standard symphonic works, will
be the “piece de resistance,” and as
such it will have the closing place
on the program. Although it is
perhaps the most popular sym
phony by Beethoven, the "Fifth"
is refreshingly original in its con
struction and orchestration. The
^principal theme, which, was sug
gested to Beethoven as he heard
the song of a yellow-hammer in a
Viennese park, is introduced in the
first measures of the first move
ment, without a vestige of the us
ual introductory passage.
Tschaikovski Number Listed
The opening place on the pro
gram is taken by Tschaikovski's
“Romeo and Juliet" overture,
which has been termed "one of
the most richly melodic symphonic
compositions ever written." Its
contrasting themes are tone-poems
of the dramatic elements of Shake
speare’s famous tragedy.
Sharply contrasting compositions
from two of Wagner’s operas will
follow. The introduction to Act
III of the “Meistersinger” reflects
a spirit of profound brooding sor
row, and is "almost Bach-like in its
somber power.” The soft “Wald
weben” (Forest Murmurs) from
the “Siegfried” depict quite an
other aspect of Wagner’s genius.
They represent the “meditation of
a forest, captured and made lyri
cal.”
The third part of the program
will be the overture to Weber’s
“Dei’ Freischutz,” considered to be
the best work of its kind ever writ
ten.
Admission for townspeople and
faculty members will be $1 for re
served seats and 50 cents for un
reserved.
Women Debaters

Ur. INag I resents
Rise of India’s Art
In Picture Form
Professor From Calcutta
Shows Slides, Speaks
On Native Land
Dr. Kalidas Nag\ of the Univer
sity of Calcutta, India, brought to
an interested group of listeners a
chronological view of the gradual
rise of "Art and Archaeology of
India,” at Villard hall last night
Doctor Nag, a native Indian, told
his story through slides and a run
ning discussion on the pictures.
His flashing smile and charming
personality fascinated the audi
ence.
“The past is not dead- it is liv
ing,” said the professor. "We are
going to review the art of the
past. Art is a language in the
literal sense of the word. Certain
phases of art are key words in
the language. They show the mi
gration of culture.”
Doctor Nag’s lecture concerned
itself with the Indus valley,
through which the Indus river
flows. He denounced the Aryan
and Nordic races as being destruc
tive, and praised India for being
a birthplace of such things as the
wheel, etiquette, and others which
he regarded as being the worth
while parts of life. Doctor Nag
showed through his slides the
gradual rise in India of such
phases of art as gold work, basket
weaving, painted pottery, statu
ary, sculpture, and architecture.
Doctor Nag made his last public
appearance in Eugene last night.
Ducks To Face
Orangemen in
Game Tonight
Encounter at Igloo Second
Of Series; Play To
Start at 8
Oregon State Holds Slight
Edge Due to Record;
Webfoots Improve
In the second encounter of the
annual four-game series the Ore
gon and Oregon State hoop quin
tets will meet tonight at 8 o’clock
on McArthur court floor.
Interest in the game has been
shown by students of both schools
and the graduate manager is plan
ning on a record crowd. The
Beavers took the first game at
Corvallis two weeks ago and the
Webfoots are out to even up the
score.
Orangemen Have Edge
The Orangemen are slight fa
vorites because of their record so
far this season. They are tied
for second place with Washington
State, with eight wins and five de-.
feats, while the Ducks are quite
a notch below with only four wins
in 13 starts.
Principal reasons for the rise in
Webfoot stock is because of the
greatly improved showing made
by the men in their last six games.
Whereas before they usually start
ed slow and lost after a second
half rally, now they are starting
out fast and keeping up the pace.
The teamwork has been better and
individual shooting.has shown an
improvement.
Uucks To Check
In order to stop the Beavers,
Coach Bill Reinhart will have to
stop the Orangemen’s three sharp
shooting scorers, Ken Fagans, Rod
Ballard, and Swan Merrill. The
Ducks have no sure-fire scorers to
compare with these three, 'but
Reinhart hopes that by close
checking his men will be able to
pile up a lead and turn back the
invaders.
The same lineup that has been
used in the last three or four
games will start tonight. Jean
Eberhart will start at center, with
Cap Roberts held in reserve. Vin
cent Dolp and Windy Calkins will
fill the forward positions. Calkins
has played a consistent brand of
ball in the last few games, and he
is equally good on defence or of
fense. Dolp has just hit his stride,
evidently, for he has shown some
outstanding ball in the last home
games. He is perhaps the fastest
man on the floor and has an un
usual shot that is hard to stop.
Horner Scoring Threat
The guard positions will be
filled by either Kerm Stevens, Cliff
Horner or Hank Levoff. Of the
three, Horner has been outstand
ing. In the series against Idaho
here, he was placed against Pete
Wicks, one of the league’s leading
scorers, and held him to four
points per game in addition to
developing into a real scoring
threat himself. Stevens and Lev
off are both very consistent play
ers. Stevens’ specialty is sinking

India Best Suited to Federal
! Government Form, Says Nag
j By MERLIN BLAIS I
- ] “When India formulates her na- j
r tional government, she will adopt j
,; the federal form now used in the
! United States.” Such was the :
-istatement of Dr. Kalidas Nag, of'
- the University of Calcutta, when
- interviewed yesterday on the in
; tluence of America on India.
“At the recent round-table in
London was gathered a group of
men who were mostly eminent
jurists, lawyers, and experts in po
| litical science, many of them hold
jers of government portfolios. All
■i had received their training in the
- ; British school of politics; and yet,
1 in that atmosphere, it was con
? 'eluded that a federal form of gov
, jernment, with a congressional leg- j
- islature rather than a parliamen- j
tary one, was best suited to In
e idia’s situation.
s i “Even the native maharajahs I
lback the American system; in
i : fact, it was one of their number
Jwtao first, proposed its adoption.
When in 1884 the Indian people
formed a national group, they
called it the Indian National con
gress—not parliament. In a coun
try where communal interests are
so strong as they are in India, a
strong parliament would be a
curse,” Doctor Nag declared.
“We want Americans who are
experts on the United States’ con
stitution and form of government
to come to India to give lectures
explaining the federal system, and
pointing out its weaknesses along
with its strong points. In this
way India might pattern its own
constitution, remedying, if possi
ble, the weak points.
“We also want American au
thorities in other fields to come
to India. We have studied about
America in our books, but they
have all been written from the
British point of view; we want
America’s point of view. An ex
change of professors yearly would
