VOLUME XXXII
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1931
NUMBER 110
Hall Approves
Consolidation
Of Institutions
Proposal of Survey and
► Governor Backed
Meier Outlines Economies;
Duplication of Courses
Hit at Board Meeting
Approval of the proposed con
solidation of the state's five insti
tutions of higher learning as out
lined by the recent federal survey
and seconded by Governor Julius
L. Meier, was given yesterday by
Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, president
of the University, at the opening
meeting of the state board of
higher education in Salem.
An outline of recommendations
for economies in the state's edu
cational program given the board
y by the governor was another high
light of the board meeting, which
will continue today and may last
till the end of the week.
One Administration Proposed
Putting the University, Oregon
State college, and the three nor
mal schools into one system, and
possibly under one administration,
was backed by Meier to effect
savings of $1,500,000 asked of the
schools.
Asked for his views on consoli
dation, Dr. Hall said: “There are
two main types: One, the Mon
tana type where you have the
schools under a chancellor but op
erating under their own manage
ment: two, the California type
where you have the various divi
sions under one president as at
Berkeley, Davis, and Los Angeles.
California Plan Favored
“Personally, I prefer the Cali
fornia plan because it prevents
duplication of overhead, friction in
departments, and unites the people
and alumni behind one system of
V schools.”
Duplication in courses must
cease, it was the joint agreement
of Dr. Hall, and Dr. W. J. Kerr,
president of Oregon State college,
in their statements to the state
board.
“We can’t blink our eyes at this
matter of duplication,” Dr. Hall
said. “From my first arrival in
Oregon, I have seen repeated evi
dences of public suspicion that un
warranted duplication exists be
tween the institutions, particularly
the college and University. It is
an argument that we must meet
by action if we are to win public
approval. There must be no fur
ther compromise on duplication.”
Duplication Must Go
“Every unwarranted duplication
can be eliminated, and it should
be,” Dr. Kerr said. “I am sure
that it can be done if we are given
the opportunity of conference. We
ought to be able to get together
y on this matter. Of course a ques
tion will arise, as to what consti
tute unwarranted duplications, but
they can be threshed out.”
Seven points were listed by
Meier in making his proposals for
reduction of expenditures to the
board. They were:
1. Reduction of $1 per capita
for operation and maintenance.
2. Increase fees of out-of-state
students to cover cost of educating
them.
3. Elimination of “high-pres

Motley Assortment Collects
For First Vodvil Rehearsal
A vodvil. What is it anyway?
Everyone knows that a vodvil is
ymade of crooks, waiters, hicks,
cops, and chorus girls. Every one
also knows that the Junior Vod
vil contains music, humor, snap,
and spice, to say nothing of color
ful costumes, magnificent settings,
and remarkable talent.
What would a junior vodvil be
without them ? Sunday afternoon
they were all assembled—the blue
coats, the sharpers, the country
greenhorns, the waiters, the danc
ing chorus, the musicians, the hu
morists, the dramatists, and all
the rest of it, including the bull
and the toreador.
With such a motley crowd, eith
er a vodvil or a vodvil rehearsal is
bound to occur. It did. The Jun
ior Vodvil, to be presented May 1
^ and 2, held its first rehearsal at
Cocoanut Grove.
At this auspicious occasion, ce
lebrities were gathered. In the
ringside seats were the members
of the faculty advisory committee.
During a comedy scene between
two sharpers and a country gen
tleman, George Cherry sat on a
chair and tipped it back, balancing
himself by resting his arm on a
handy table. But when the stage
moved to another position, Cherry
got up, moved closer, and sat down
on a different chair to watch the
dancing chorus put on their show.
Occupying two prominent posi
tions were the two Millers, Barney
and Mac, directing and acting. And
Kelsey Slocum, he does make a
cute little crook.
The dancing chorus danced, the
directors directed, the actors acted.
Finally they stopped, and singly,
in twos, or in groups, they drifted

Ruckmick To Give
Public Illustrated
Lecture Tonight
Iowa Professor Is Noted
Scholar on Emotion
Psychology
Prof. C. A. Ruckmick, of the
University of Iowa will deliver a
public lecture in Villard hall at
8 o’clock this evening of “Facial
Expressions in the Emotions.” The
lecture will be illustrated with
lantern slides.
"Professor Ruckmick is an au
thority in the field of emotions,”
according to Dr. R. H. Seashore,
associate professor of psychology.
“He has done a great deal of ex
perimental work in the measure
ment of facial expression and skin
galvanic reactions and has pro
duced one of the outstanding ex
perimental articles on the nature
of rhythm. His work on rhythm
points out fundamental import
ance of the kinesthetic or muscle
sence, Dr. Seashore said.
The psychology staff and ma
jors of the department will hear
Dr. Ruckmick speak at 4 o’clock
this afternoon on “The Measure
ment of the Galvanic Reflex in a
Study of Emotions.” The psychol
ogy luncheon club will have Pro
fessor Ruckmick as his guest at
noon today.
Dr. Ruckmick, who is the author
of “The Mental Life” and a num
ber of other books on psychology,
has spent the last six years work
ing in his laboratory at Iowa. He
is now on an extensive tour of
Pacific coast universities. At the
December meeting of the Psycho
logical association he conducted a
composium on emotion, with the
result that he was asked to make
this tour.

Committee
Senior Leap Week, the time of
the year when a young girl's fan
cy lightly turns to thoughts of
snaring a man for the week-end,
will be off to a flying start Thurs
day night with the “Co-ed's’ Re
venge.” An added ice-breaker the
same evening will be a special late
permission dance at Midway, to be
followed on the crowded Leap
Week program by the Kappa Kof
fee and the Mortar Board ball on
Friday, a picnic Saturday after
noon, the famous Barroom Bust
and a midnight matinee Saturday
night, and several other festivi
ties not yet announced.
Gladys Clausen, Leap Week
chairman, yesterday appointed her
committee as follows:
Glay Joy, picnic; Betty Cook,
Kappa Koffee; Jane Cullers, Co

room Bust; and Margherita Hay,
finance.
Rules for the week-end, as per
old-time custom, will be strictly

carried out on all dates, to-wit:
First, the men shall do the sitting
back, and the women shall do the
prospecting for dates. Second, the
women shall call for the men and
shall provide transportation, both
to and from. And third, the wom
en shall pay all costs.
These long established traditions
will be held in deepest respect by
the feminine element of 1931, and
will be faithfully maintained
throughout the Leap Week in spite
of the economic depression, Miss
Clausen assured the Emerald last
night. In addition to the regular
run of events, she said, plans are
current on the campus for tennis
and canoeing and sundry other
dates, the initiative to be taken in
all cases by the persistent and per
suasive co-ed.
The Co-ed’s Revenge, first on
the program, Thursday evening
from 7:30 to 10:30, according to
annual custom will take place at
the Delta Gamma house and will
be open to all senior men and sen

Art Students’ Big
Costume Dance
The biennial Beau Arts ball will
be given at the Osburn hotel Fri

Plans Being Formed
Schuyler Southwell, general
chairman of the Beaux Arts ball
directorate, is manager of the art
school branch of the Co-op. He
said last night that preliminary
plans for the ball call for lavish
decoration and exclusive features
such as will rival the dances given
by the Beaux Arts Institute of De
sign in New York and Chicago.
The carnival idea will be the
motif of the affair, and the best
campus music will play for danc
ing.
Inasmuch as Saturday, May 30,
is a holiday, Memorial day, per
mission for the dance was granted
by Deans Schwering and Biggs.
Gardiner expressed confidence that
invitations would be at a premium,
due to the exclusive nature of the
ball and to the elaborate prepara
tions which are to be made for
the entertainment of the guests.
The Beaux Arts ball will serve
also as a student celebration of
the recent election of Ellis F.
Lawrence, dean of the school of
architecture, to the presidency of
the Intercollegiate Association of
American Schools of Architecture
and Allied Arts, Gardiner stated.
Biggs in Coos County
For Extension Division
Hugh L. Biggs, dean of men, left

Virgil D. Earl will be in his office.
Junior Skit Wins
April Frolic Stunt
Show on Campus
Theta Girls Dressed as
Football Players Take
Prize for Costumes
“Blue Monday,” a stunt depict
ing the trials and tribulations of
freshman women whose duty it is
to entertain the upper classmen at
the dinner table, presented by
members of the junior class under
the direction of Elizabeth Strain,
was the winning skit at April Frol
ic, the annual A. W. S. co-e<J af
fair given Saturday evening at
Berlinger hall. The junior class
last year took first place also.
The prize annually awarded to
the individual or group that dis
plays the greatest originality in
costume and sustains the charac
ter for the entire evening went this
year to members of Kappa Alpha
Theta who were dressed as foot
ball players. Second prize for the
best costume was awarded Agnes
Peters, i guest on the campus, who
was dressed to represent a Spanish
girl. Norma Lyon, sophomore in
music, playing the part of a crip
pled boy with bandaged head and
! crutches received honorable men
tion.
Judges for the occasion included
Mrs. Alice Macduff, Mrs. Rudolph
Ernst, Mrs. W. F. G. Thacher, Dr.
Mildred Mumby, Mrs. Hazel Pruts
man Schweripg, and Mrs. Ottilie
T. Seybolt.
“Gypsy,” the senior stunt, was a
clever combination of colorful
dancers, vagabond music and Eng
lish comedy. “Lullaby Land” was
a toyland scene featuring teddy
bears, paper dolls, Old King Cole,
and Raggedy Ann, presented by
the sophomore class. The fresh
man stunt, “Inside Stuff,” enabled
spectators to see what happens in
the stomach of a small boy who
stuffs himself with candy, pink
lemonade, candy and pop corn at
a circus.
Curtain acts were given by Lou
ise Marvin and Jane Stange, who
entertained with a tap dance; Car
oline Haberlach, who played piano

Lois Conover, and Janet Thacher.
Jane Cullers, vice-president of the
A. W. S., was chairman of the
April Frolic this year. She was as
sisted by a large directorate of
campus women who arranged the
details of the production.

Grand Juries
Are Criticized
By W. L. Morse
April Law Review Has
Survey Results
Professor Claims System
Causes Delay in
Crime Cases
The extents to which the grand
jury system causes delay in the
disposition of criminal cases is
pointed out by Wayne L. Morse,
associate professor of law, in part
two of his survey of the grand
jury system, published in the
April issue of the Oregon Law
Review, which was released from
the press yesterday.
The survey represents an analy
sis of 543 questionnaires answered
by judges in 41 states. The sur
vey shows that a majority of
judges believe that the grand
juries do not exercise much inde
pendence of judgment, but rather
follow the lead of the prosecuting
attorney. A majority of the
judges reported that the grand
jury initiates very few cases. This
agrees with the statistical evidence
of part one of the survey.
Judges Express Opinion
Over 400 out of 545 judges ex
pressed the view that the grand
jury causes such a delay in the
disposition of a criminal case that
the state's case is weakened.
The judges’ opinions compared
very favorably with the statistical
data which Mr. Morse secured in
the Oregon crime survey. In the
cases studied in Oregon the aver
age time from the date of arrest
to the date of final disposition is
60.2 days. The average time from
the preliminary hearing to the
grand jury action is 28.5 days!
That means that in Oregon cases
studied about half of the time is
consumed by the indictment meth
lod, according to Professor Morse.
In addition to the Oregon sur
vey, data from New York, Illinois,
Missouri, and Pennsylvania crime
surveys all show that the indict
ment method consumes about 50
per cent of the time, the report
states.
Delay Weakens Prosecution
From these and other facts, Mr.
Morse draws the conclusions that
the indictment method causes con
siderable delay in the prosecution
of criminal cases. In concluding
his part two of the survey, Mr.
Morse says: “That delay weakens
the state’s case needs no extended
comment. One effective strategic
practice of criminal lawyers is to
manipulate delays. Thus cases
'grow cold,’ witnesses forget or
disappear for one reason or an
other, alibis can be manufactured,
the accused if guilty can rehearse
his part, and all in all the public
interest is jeopardized by delay.
“Then, too, delays work gross
injustices on many innocent de
fendants. A cloud hangs over
their reputations, they are made
to suffer unnecessary embarrass
ment and mental anguish, if with
out means they sometimes must
remain in a none too pleasant jail,
while awaiting grand jury action.”
Nine Students Contribute
Professor Morse points out that
the delay caused by the indictment
method should receive serious con
sideration on the part of those

I
Choicest Vodvil
Seats To Go Fast,
Says Bob Holmes
VVTITH the opening night of
the Junior Vodvil only two
weeks away, it is absolutely
imperative that those desiring
good seats order their tickets
at once, according to Bob
Holmes, ticket chairman.
“The Importance of prompt
notion," stated Holmes, “is
made very obvious by the fact
that with a seating capacity of
only 800, the aggregate seating
capacity of the three perform
ances is only 2400, and this
must take care of a student
body of 3400, to say nothing of
the Eugene people.”
The orders should be mailed
to the box-office of the Heilig
and must contain a self-ad
dressed stamped envelope as
well as the cash for the tick
ets.
The ticket office of the Heilig
will open this Thursduy, April
23, and this is the only place
that tickets may lie secured
this year.

Political Camps
Draw Tickets;
Election Nears
Mimnaugh and Potwin
Up for Presidency
Running Mates Chosen for
All Offices Except Some „
On Co-op Board
BY THORNTON GALE
With the announcement of two
complete tickets from the Mim
naugh and Potwin camps, the
great American game of politics
is definitely under way on the
Oregon campus. Chet Knowlton,
A. T. O., first chosen to head his
party, was demoted to second-in
command in order, so say party
leaders, to form a stronger com
bination. Opposing him for the
vice-presidency will be Walt Ev
ans, Sigma Chi, Mimnaugh’s run
ning mate.
With the exception of the Co-op
board, the tickets on both sides
are complete and are as follow:
Mimnaugh party — Brian Mim
naugh, president; Walt Evans,
vice-president; Irma Logan, secre
tary; Wally Baker, senior man;
Velma Powell, senior woman; Jim
Travis, junior man; Ethan New
man, Co-op board; and Adele
Wedemeyer, Co-op board. The re
maining position on the board had
not been decided at a late hour
last night.
Candidates Are Listed
Candidates on the Potwin party
include: Art Potwin, president;
Chet Knowlton, vice-president;
Alexis Lyle, secretary; Connie
Baker, senior woman; Kelsey Slo
cum, senior man; John King, jun
ior man; Dorothy Johnson and
Buz Larkin, Co-op board. The re
maining candidate for the board
position has not been announced.
The lineup of organizations with
major candidates in the field
brings into opposition Kappa Kap
pa Gamma, Beta Theta Pi, A.; T.
O., Gamma Phi Beta, Zeta hiall,
Sigma Nu, Phi Sigma Kappa, and
Susan Campbell hall on the Pot
win side, and Phi Delta Theta,
Sigma Chi, Delta Delta Delta, Al
pha hall, Hendricks hall, Chi Psi,
Alpha Phi, and the Oregon Yeo
men as Mimnaugh supporters.
Announcement of the tickets
presents a peculiar political break
up. Phi Delta Theta played ball
with Beta Theta Pi last year in
conjunction with A. T. O. to help
win the election with a strong in
dependent support.
Backing Not Sure
The actual number of houses
that both sides have been able to
line up so far has not been defi
nitely determined, because of the
number of usual early season
“fence sitters.” Both parties seem
to have an astounding amount of
pre-election support. The women’s
and men’s halls to date seem fairly
well divided. The fraternity and
sorority vote will undoubtedly play
a greater part in determining the
outcome of this election than it
did last year.
Unverified rumors coming to the
ears of the writer at deadline time
last night hinted of an important
change in a major position on one
of the parties. That such a change
would be made has also been pre
dicted by a number of the political
“wise-boys.”
Psychology Sluggers Hunt
For Kitten Ball Opponents
The sandlot ball players In the
psychology department are daily
growing more restless under the
warm spring sun. They crave ac
tion.
Their challenge to a game of
puff ball, issued to the school of
education faculty and majors last
Thursday, still is unanswered. So
they now challenge the winner of
the law school-business ad game.
“We of the psychology depart
ment were not jesting,” said Dr.
Robert Seashore, head of the de
partment, yesterday, “when we
challenged the school of education
to a ball game. We feel that their
refusal to answer the challenge is
our moral victory.
“Now I hear that the law and
business ad schools are going to
play. Fine! And we’ll take on
the winner.
“Two days of sunshine and the
supervision of the physical educa
tion department should be made
conditions of this game. These
provisions are merely guards
against having to wade around in
the mud, or having to pop-bottle
an incompetent umpire.
“If any other schools or depart
ments in the University can scrape
up a team, we’ll play them also,
for marbles or glory.’’
Dr. Seashore announced the ap
pointment of Dr. Howard Taylor
as captain of the team for the
first game, feeling certain that
the business administration and
law schools would not neglect the
challenge, as the school of educa
tion has done.
