UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1931
NUMBER 109
Oregon’s Case
To Go Before
Board Monday
Hall To Submit Revised
* Budget and Plan
Education Body Meeting
At Salem Expected To
Be Vital One
To present the University’s case
to the state board of higher edu
cation, Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall,
president of the University, will
go Monday to Salem, where the
board will meet. At the conference,
Dr. W. J. Kerr, president of Ore
gon State college, is expected to
offer his findings, and recommend
ations are looked for from the
presidents of the three normal
schools at Ashland, La Grande,
and Monmouth.
Three things are due from Dr.
Hall when he appears before the
board. These are the revised bud
get, a plan of operation to conform
with the federal survey, and a plan
worked out with President Kerr
outlining a single administration
for the two schools.
Meeting Is Awaited
Persons interested in higher edu
cation in the state are looking for
ward to Monday’s meeting of the
board, which supervises the five
institutions in Oregon, as one of
the most important since the es
tablishment of the board in 1929.
As stated to the students gath
ered in general assembly on the
campus Wednesday morning, Dr.'
Hall is expected to make a vigor
ous effort to retain science courses
at the University. The recent fed
eral survey on higher education in
Oregon proposed that upper di
vision and graduate work in the
pure sciences—geology, chemistry,
physics, zoology, botany, and
mathematics should be transferred
to Oregon State college, where a
y “great school of science” wouid be
founded.
University Needs Sciences
The loss of sciences from the
University’s curricula would break
down the framework of the true
University, it has been pointed out
by the Oregon president. “The Uni
versity should be maintained as a
place for a well-rounded and thor
ough education for students, and
sciences are certainly essential,”
Dr. Hall told members of the fac
ulty two weeks ago in a meeting
at which he received a whole-heart
ed vote of confidence. “Many
phases of higher education are as
dependent upon sciences as any
other branch of learning, and we
earnestly hope that this can be re
tained for the University,” Dr.
Hall said.
The president further stated his
stand on the science question at
the assembly Wednesday when he
said, “We can't have a great Uni
y versity without a great science de
partment. To take away the de
partment is unheard of in the his
tory of education. There is not one J
state university in the country but
has full sway over such work.”
A request to the state board to
reject the proposed science shift
was sent to the board Wednesday
by six prominent Portland men in
an open letter. “No university
worthy of the name can maintain

This rehearsal, though rather
early, will be of great importance
in figuring the time element, the
stage settings, the best order of
appearance for various panto
mimes and short acts which will
be presented before the curtain
between the main acts, Barney
Miller, co-director of the event,
said.
The early rehearsal will also give

Hoover9 Helen Wills Moody
Relatives of Oregon Student
The reporter approached the
southeast corner of the Emerald
copy room. With one foot on the
typewriter and the other in the
wastebasket, Jim Yergen, senior in
^ journalism, indulgently leaned
back against the wall.
“What’s this I hear about you
being related to Helen Wills
Moody through Herb Hoover?” the
writer questioned. »
“Oh, yes,” began Yergen. “Helen
Wills Moody is one of my favorite
relatives.”
“Is that why you are such a
good tennis player?” the reporter
inquired.
"Well, I wouldn’t want to say
it’s why I’m such a good tennis
player. Rather, it must be why
I’m such a poor golfer. But this
is getting into technicalities,” he
replied.
“Really?” the writer exclaimed,
f “Yes, we must by all means
steer clear of any technicalities.
Now take President Hoover. I
wouldn’t want to say the reason
he was elected president was be
cause he happens to be my step
aunt’s brother or my father’s step
brother’s brother-in-law. Of course,
that may have had its influence,
but I really wouldn’t want to claim
any credit.
“Now as to the former Miss
Wills. Traced down to actual
facts, she’s my father’s step
brother’s wife’s brother’s (Her
bert’s) son’s wife’s cousin’s wife.
To simplify the thing we must
condense it. Then she becomes
my step-aunt's nephew’s cousin-in
law, or my father’s step-sister-in
law’s niece’s cousin (by marriage),
or my step-uncle's brother-in-law’s
daughter-in-law’s cousin-in-law.”
"Yes, yes. But let’s not take it
to court,” pleaded the writer,
fighting for some air mixed with
his habeas corpus. By this time

“The new arrangement has been
the result of several months’ ef

a campus’ broadcasting location.
We shall be able to secure better
and more varied programs in thd
future, and we hope the change
will prove a worth-while improve
ment,” David said.

Kwama Pledging
To Be Feature of
Mortar Board Ball
19 Members To Be Chosen
For Sopli Honorary
Weber To Play
The big feature of the Mortar
Board ball, formal dance to which
everyone on the campus is invited,
will be the Kwama pledging, a
custom instigated last year, ac
cording to plans released last
night by Dorothy Eberhard, chair
man of the ball.
The dance will be held on Fri
day evening, April 24, in the Eu
gene hotel. It is an affair of Leap
Week and only the women will do
the inviting—the men waiting at
home until asked.
Kwama, sophomore service hon
orary for women, will take in 19
new members from the freshman
class, these 19 being chosen on a
basis of campus activities, scholar
ship, and general attitude.
Assistants Named
Miss Eberhard is being assisted
by the five other members of Mor
tar Board: Kathryn Langenberg
Colin, Mildred McGee, Daphne
Hughes, Bess Templeton, and Mar
garet Cummings. She announced
that the decorations would be kept
secret until Friday night, but said
that George Weber’s orchestra had
been procured for the affair.
Patrons and patronesses will be:
Dr. and Mrs. Arnold Bennett Hall,
Dr. and Mrs. Charles Leslie
Schwering, Dean and Mrs. Hugh
L. Biggs, Mrs. Nelson Macduff,
Mrs. Prince L. Campbell, Miss
Consuello McMillan, Dr. and Mrs.
E. E. DeCou, and Miss Beatrice
Milligan. Miss Milligan, who was
graduated from the University last
year, was an active member of
Mortar Board all during her senior
year.
A great deal of enthusiasm has
been aroused on the campus for
the dance, Miss Eberhard said, and
many houses have planned formal
dinners to precede it. ,

Roosevelt Junior
High May Be Used
For Teaching Lah
Proposal Is Said To Have
Been Considered at
Meeting Friday
Proposed changes in the system
of teacher training now in force
in the school of education, to be
carried out in conjunction with the
Eugene public schools, were re
ported to have come up for dis
cussion last night, in a joint con
ference of members of the edu
cation faculty with members of
the school board.
Certain recommendations of Dr.
Arnold Bennett Hall, president of
the University, were the subject
of discussion by the group, it was
revealed late last night by Dr. H.
D. Sheldon, dean of the school of
education. However, no final
measures have yet been passed
upon, he declared, and he refused
to make any further statement on
the matter.
H. Ft. Goold, city superintendent
of schools, who is said to be work
ing with Dr. Sheldon in considera
tion of the proposals, stated when
questioned last night that as yet
nothing is ready to make public
in this connection. "No definite
action has been taken,” he said,
“and in tha present stage the ques
tion must be treated as confiden
tial.”
The unconfirmed report was
current yesterday that extensive
use of the Ftoosevelt junior high
school as a laboratory for prac
tice teaching by education stu
dents is one of the proposals un
der consideration by the faculty
and the school board. The ques
tions, it is said, are being taken
up in relation to the recent report
of the federal survey on Oregon’s
higher educational system.

Puff Ball Usurps Curbstone
Habit in Barristers’ Hearts
No longer can the law students
maintain their well-known aloof
ness. No longer can they covet
their well-known curb smoking
room. The law students have come
off the pedestal. They have
stooped to mingle with the com
mon run of college inhabitants, the
herd, the rabble, the great un
washed, business ad majors. All
of this because King Baseball, god
of all good Americans, raised his
voice and said, “C’mon, youse
guys. How about some kitten ball
with the business ad school?”
Father Baseball has tumbled mon
archs from their thrones, caused
most of the spring hookey playing
in grammar school, caused office
boys’ grandmothers to die a thou
sand deaths so that they could get
a half day off; but who would
ever think that it would break
down the stern wall that the law
school has thrown about itself?
To get right down to the point,
though, it seems as though the law
school has issued a challenge to
the business administration school
for a game of “kitten ball.”
“Kitten ball,” in case you don't
know, is indoor baseball played
outdoors.
Here is the challenge with all
its legal trimmings:
“To the students and faculty of
the school of business administra
tion, greeting:
“Whereas, a rather scurrilous
and disrespectful notice in gram
mar peculiarly suggestive of a
business administration student
has been posted on the bulletin
board of the law school; and
"Whereas, said notice purports
to speak for the students of the
school of business administration
in challenging the law school to a
game of ‘Kitten Ball';
“Theiefore, be it resolved by the
law school of the University of
