VOLUME XXXII
NUMBER 111
April 29 May
Bring Vote on
Consolidation
State Education Board
^ To Meet in Portland
Reorganization Plan of
Survey Is Backed by
President Hall
Wednesday, April 29, is now
THE day. For then the state
board of higher education will con
vene in Portland to take up once
more the proposal of the now-fa
mous federal survey on higher ed
ucation in Oregon for consolida
tion of the University of Oregon,
Oregon State college, and the
three normal schools.
Reorganization of higher educa
tion in the state under this plan
of one administration met with
the approval of Dr. Arnold Ben
* nett Hall, president of the Uni
versity, at its meeting in Salem
Monday. The Oregon president
proposed that if consolidation were
to be carried out that it be done
immediately, and that a greater
University of Oregon comprise the
existing schools as units under one
head.
Consolidation Vote Expected
The state board is expected to
vote on consolidation at its Port
land meeting a week from today
for such a vote was nearly taken
at Salem Monday. Albert Burch,
board member from Medford,
moved that the University and
state college be put under one
head as soon as practicable, and
Mrs. Cornelia Marvin Pierce, new
est member of the board, seconded
the motion. Upon the action of
C. C. Colt, of Portland, the matter
was tabled until board members
would have time to go over the
reports of Presidents Hall of Ore
gon and Kerr of O. S. C., with ref
y erence to the federal survey.
While consolidation of the
schools will be the major issue
before the state board, the revised
budgets called for by Governor
Meier will also hold prominent
places at the Portland meeting
next week. Presidents Hall and
Kerr, and the heads of the normal
schools will be asked then to have
estimates ready showing where
possible cuts in expenditures may
be made in order to effect the sav

The scope ofi

gins, contrary to the custom in
the past, Big Sisters will not be
expected to take the freshman
women through registration, since
a special committee will be ap
pointed to handle that detail, the
girls were told.
Each Big Sister will have 10
freshman women under her guid
ance, according to the plan as out
lined by the chairman yesterday.1
It will be her job to see that each
of these 10 becomes adjusted to
campus life in all its academic, so
cial, activity, and ethical features.
Meetings Scheduled
Meetings of each Big Sister
with her group of freshman women
will be scheduled on the pre-regis
tration blanks of all entering
freshmen women, Miss Macduff
said. These meetings will proba
bly be held Monday and Tuesday
of freshman week. At this time
the Big Sisters will outline regis
tration procedure, scholastic stand

tions, Panhellenic rulings, and will
answer any questions that the
freshman women may have.
To be equipped to handle all the
problems and questions which will
confront the Big Sisters, a num

term to give them some of the
information which they will need.
The first of these will be held

'It’s a Hard Life\ Say Co-ed
Choristers in Junior Vodvil
Against a background of empty
chairs and dark walls a group of
co-eds dance—dance with no gay
crowds seeking entertainment to
^ applaud their efforts, and with
only the glances of a few careless
onlookers to encourage them.
“Faster! Faster!” they cry to
the pianist while they step to the
catchy tune.
For several weeks these dancers
have rehearsed their steps under
the leadership of Marian Camp—
these steps which will be shown
by the dancing chorus on May 1
and 2 when the Junior Vodvil will
be presented.
Backstage life has its fascinat
ing charm, so for a few moments
let us be a couple of stage-door
Johnnies and go down to Cocoanut
Grove or to the College Side and

ing a seat in an inconspicuous cor
ner where we shall not be in the
way, we look around.
A small girl with Curly hair,
Jane Stange, runs to the center
of the room.
“C’mere, I’ve got a new step to
show you—” And several follow
her, tapping out the new move
ments.
But now it is time to go
through the regular practice. The
girls line up and after the piano
player warms up, step out onto

Of 22 Schools
Registration Marks Fall;
260 Athletes Coming
Officials To Judge Events
Named; Many Prizes
Offered for Meet
With an advance registration
which already has broken all pre
vious records for attendance, the
annual Oregon interscholastic re
lays, to be held on Hayward field
Saturday afternoon, are expected
to draw more than 260 high school
athletes from all parts of the state.
Twenty-two schools have already
signed up to enter the meet, Wally
Baker, general chairman, revealed
last night, and several more are
expected to enter before the end of
the week.
All fraternities on the campus
have been called upon to provide
accommodations for the visiting
athletes for the week-end. Be
cause of the greatly increased reg
istration this year, the houses will
be asked to take care of more
men than was formerly expected,
Baker announced yesterday.
Karl Greve, chairman in charge
of housing, will call a meeting of
representatives from each house
some time tomorrow, for the pur
pose of drawing for teams. The
time of the meeting is to be an
nounced in the Emerald tomorrow
morning.
Theatre Party Scheduled
An effort will be made to as
sign one complete team to each
house, but Baker said yesterday
that on account of the unusually
large numbers, it rnay be neces
sary to split up teams in some
cases. Arrangements for the hous
ing of all coaches at the men’s dor
mitory will be made with Mrs.
Genevieve Turnipseed, director of

Camp Counsellors
Sought by Y. W. C. A.
Attention, girls! Six weeks of
your summer vacation free—abso
lutely no charge. Think of it—
swimming, tennis, any summer
sport, rest, recreation, plus board
and room, waiting for any junior
or senior girls who are interested
in experience at camp.
The Y. W. C. A. of Tacoma,
Washington, and the Y. W. C. A.
of Salem, Oregon, are to have
girls’ camps on Fox island, and
on the Santiam river, respectively,
and are in need of counsellors.
Responsible juniors or seniors
who are specialists in music, camp
singing, handicraft, nature lore,
wood craft and camp craft are
desired. Any underclassmen who
have had unusual experience along
these lines may also apply.
Although there is no salary of
fered, girls who have been coun
sellors in the past say it is a very
worthwhile way to spend a vaca
tion. It is requested that all girls
interested see Dorothy Thomas at
the Y. W. C. A. bungalow at once.
Senior Music Students Give
Fine Recital Performance
- *
Marguerite Spath, George
Barron Win Approval
Of Many Listeners
By JACK BAUER
Marguerite Spath, pianist, and
George Barron, basso, senior stu
dents in music, last night gave a
performance outstanding in mu
sicianship and tasteful interpreta
tion before a large audience in the
school of music auditorium.
The listeners showed their ap
proval by hearty applause and
sympathetic attention. Robert
Gould's accompaniment to Bar
ron's extensive program was flaw
less.
Barron’s highly developed musi
cal sense carried him through the
amazing convolutions of the “Quon
iam tu solus sanctus” from the
Gloria of Bach’s mass in B minor.
His voice was in splendid line, his
Latin commendable.
“In diesen heilgen Hallen”
served as an introductory vehicle
for the display of Barron's power
ful lower register and his perfect
German.
Miss Spath opened with two
movements of the Schubert sonata
in A major, a difficult and sus
tained lyrical flight. The audience
was appreciative of the restrained
interpretation which she gave the
allegro moderato, and the startling
runs and arpeggios of the more
solid allegro.
In Schumann's descriptive fan
tasy, "Soaring,” Miss Spath ac
centuated the tonal values in the
bass, to make clear the picture of
a lark, joyously riding the wings
of the storm through flying cloud
wracks. Her touch was certain,
her manner confident.
Barron handled the melancholic
and savage soliloquy of Hagan,
from Wagner’s “Goetterdaemme
rung," with surety. In the French
air, "Le Cor,” by Flegier, and “Si
la rigeur,” from Halevy's "La
Juive,” Barron was satisfactory.
The resonance of his upper regis
ter, however, was not as pleasing
in the French as in the German.
He managed to enject considerable
romantic feeling in the Flegier
hunting ballad, and his dramatic
sense made the Wagner air an im- !
pressive moment. Gould's excel
lent accompaniment shone bril
liantly in the frequent melodic pi
ano passages in the Wagner piece.
In her second group, Miss Spath
fairly sparkled. To the familiar
concert piece, “Sous Bois,” by
Staub, she brought a lilting inter
pretation which clearly sang of
spring and birds and the gay boule
vards of Paris. The Moszkowski
"Guitarre” was lively, graceful,
and exciting.
Miss Spath was most engaging
in her interpretation of the Fried
man-Gartner “Viennese Dance No.
2.” The ensemble effect suffered
from a slight lapse of memory, but
the rapturous execution of the in

Tubban Speaks to
Cosmopolitans on
Philippine Topic
Complete History Outline
Ami Progression of
Islands Given
“To talk of the. ungratefulness
of the Philippine people would be
doing them a wrong. They will
not forget what the United States
has done for them in the line of
sanitation and education, and will
always be grateful for what Amer
ica has done for them.” This was
the statement of Francisco Tub
ban, speaker at the second meet
ing of the Cosmopolitan club held
last night at the new home of La
Casa Filipina on Twelfth street.
Florendo Mangavil, president of
the club, was in charge of the
meeting.
Mr. Tubban gave a complete
historical outline of the Filipino
people and their present progress
toward the realization of their
dream of being a free nation. Their
desire for self-government has led
them to move forward rapidly, and
while they are not yet abreast of
America, he said that they are
overtaking their protectors as a
swift-moving train is overtaking a
slow-moving freight. Literacy in
the islands is over 60 per cent, ac
cording to Mr. Tubban.
The rest of the program for the
evening consisted of Filipino music
and dancing. A string trio con
sisting of Pastor Buen, Sixto Arel
lano, and Domilio Ocampo played

Major Change
Of Candidates
Fails To Pass
Party Tries To Switch
Executive Women
Number of ‘Fence Sitters’
Drops as Political
Race Continues
By THORNTON GALE
That a major change of candi
dates would be attempted in one
of the campus political parties was
predicted in this column yesterday.
The change concerned the office of
executive woman, and was at
tempted but did not quite come off,
according to reports late last
night. The attempted change was
defeated in the house of the aspir
ing candidate.
However, rumors still continue
to fly thick and fast last night,
and the dope bucket seems about
to spill over. Both houses involved
deny that any change is going to
take place, but the campus poli
ticians predict that the switch will
be made before tomorrow.
The new development in the po
litical “pot pouri" left the two ma
jor parties desperately trying to
round up the fraternity and soror
ity votes. The number of “fence
sitters” has definitely decreased,
and the organization vote is grad
ually falling into line. House meet
ings held last night and Monday,
brought the pledge of much sup
port to both parties.
Party Meetings Held
Political meetings were held by
both sides last night, Art Pot
win’s at the Kappa Sigma house
at 10 o'clock and Brian Mim
naugh's at the Sigma Chi house at
9:30. They were well attended
gatherings with strong representa
tions from the undecided houses.
Casualties to date seem to give
both sides about an even break
although early campaign figures
released give each party an over
whelming paper victory. As one
politician said yesterday, “How
can we lose it we nave mis ana
this.” His figures took into ac
count some sixteen houses. True
enough they couldn’t be defeated,
but when the other side claims part
of the same support the election
is still in doubt.
Co-op Candidates Lacking
The only part of the tickets
which have not yet been complet
ed are the vote-pulling Co-op board
positions. So far there is a candi
date lacking on both tickets, which
will be filled within the next day
or two.
The unchanged lineups to date
still include on the Potwin party:
Art Potwin, president; Chet
Knowlton, vice-president; Alexis
Lyle, secretary; Connie Baker,
executive woman; Kelsey Slocum,
executive man; John King, junior
finance officer; Dorothy Johnson
and Buz Larkin, Co-op board.
For Mimnaugh: Brian Mim
naugh, president; Walt Evans,
vice-president; Irma Logan, secre
tary; Wally Baker, executive man;
Velma Powell, executive woman;
Jim Travis, junior finance officer;
Ethan Newman and Adele Wede
meyer, Co-op board.
Mouth Tells Emotions Better
Than Eyes, Says Psychologist
"The mouth is a much better
telltale of emotions than the eyes.”
This was the statement of C. A.
Ruckmick, associate professor of
psychology at the University of
Iowa and authority in the field of
emotions, who was a campus vis
itor yesterday. In an interview
Professor Ruckmick spoke of the
various studies in facial expres
sions that he has been interested
in for the past 25 years.
“After a careful study of the va
rious facial expressions during my
stay at the University of Iowa, it
was found to be true that the
mouth is even more expressive
than the eyes. The eyes are next
in revealing a person's emotions,
followed by the lines about the
nose."
Professor Ruckmick made a se
ries of pictures of some 35 facial
expressions recorded from a very
talented actress. He used these
pictures in both the lecture he
gave yesterday afternoon before
the psychology department and the
one yesterday evening before the
general public.
“One of my paramount interests
at present,” Prof, Ruckmick said,
"is to trace the facial expressions
of children from babyhood through
adolescence.” He pointed out a
number of observations in the case
of this study. Children are found
to have more natural expressions,
when young, than when they de
velop to an older age. The emo
tion of laughter is most easily rec->
ognized by children and as they de
velop they come to know and rec
ognize the emotions of pain, an
ger, and fear. It is not until they
are fairly well developed, he said,
that they can recognize surprise
and wonder.
This is Prof- Ruckmick’s first
