College Tour
The unrest and upheaval in high
er education, particularly in state
supported institutions, is having a
marked effect on students in col
leges and universities throughout
the United States, it is declared by
E. R. Murrow, president of the Na
tional Student Federation of Amer
ica, who stopped off here this week
while on a tour of campi that in
cludes the entire United States,
Legislative and other forms of
investigations are now in process
in Iowa, Kansas, and many other
states, and the attention directed
to these has aroused student inter
est throughout the country, Mr.
Murrow says. It has caused youth
to question seriously the purpose
of education, and a definite ten
dency toward a more liberal edu
cation is noted everywhere.
Murrow W. S. C. Graduate
Murrow, who is a graduate of
State College of Washington with
the class of 1929, is already regard
ed as one of the best informed
young men on college and univer
sity work in the country, and al
ready has an extensive knowledge
of European conditions. He frank
ly recognizes the problems of stu

dents, believes many of them se
rious, but is confident that the stu
dents themselves are capable of
working- out their own solutions.
“A remarkable spirit, one that
finds its ideals in intellectual and
spiritual integrity, is becoming
more noticeable in this country,”
he declares. "Frankly, X find this
in evidence on the University of
Oregon campus even more than at
other schools throughout the coun
try. At only one other university,
one of the outstanding eastern in
stitutions, have I noticed this as
much as I have here."
Serious Attitude Found
“This may be due 10 the present
unrest in higher education in Ore
gon, but whatever the cause, I find
a serious attitude on the part of
many students that indicates
strongly they are striving not only
to improve themselves, but their
school and their surroundings.
They are going about this by con
vincing themselves that education
is a matter of work and study, of
having ideals and striving for
them, and of being of real service
to others.
"I find an unusually high regard
for scholarship on this campus.
Students seem as eager to talk
about their studies and what they
wish to make of them as they do of
less serious things that usually oc
cupy their attention. There is also
an open-mindedness and a frank
ness here that is often lacking at
other places.”
Stoddard Acts as Host.
Mr. Murrow plans to report on
his observations upon his return to
New York, and will then go on to
Europe, where he will supervise
the selection of five debate teams
from the continent which will come
to this country for forensic meets
next year. His office in New York
is also in charge of arrangements
for student travel from this coun
try to Europe.
While here, Mr. Murrow is the
guest of Tom Stoddard, assistant
graduate manager and student
body president last year. Stoddard
and' Murrow became acquainted
two years ago, and it was Stoddard
who nominated his friend for pres
idency of the national student
group, a position to which he was
re-elected for this year.
From here Murrow will go on to
California and return to New York
via the southern route.

Eleanor the First, who last night
was crowned Queen of Junior
Week-end.
Coronation of Queen
Held at Canoe Fete
Down the mill-race, out of a
curtain of mist, in a steel-black
torpedo, “La Bateau Fusee,” Elea
nor Lewis floated last night to step
to the platform, kneel and receive
the coronet that crowns her queen
of Junior Week-end.
The crown was three-pointed and
sparkled in the night across the
waters. The queen’s gown was a
period creation of gold satin with
a long train and a high half-collar
in the back which gleamed with
brilliants. Her royal highness
moved gracefully and with great
dignity.
Queen Eleanor’s attendants, the
Princesses Jane, Alice, Velma, and
Dorothy, were clad in similar
dresses of crimson sewn with crys
tals.
After Queen Eleanor had re
ceived the crown, from the hands
of Arthur Potwin, president of the
junior class, she took her position
on the throne, a high one covered
with a deep claret velvet and hung
with cloth of gold.
The princesses sat in modernistic,

Stiulonts Bask in Sun
At Campus Luncheon
Wide white hats and spring
frocks for the women, dirty cords
and an absence of neck-ties for
the men, marked the campus
luncheon, first event of the week
end, which took place yesterday
noon between the Library and
Friendly hall.
A beneficent sun smiled on Ore
gon students and their mothers
during this, the one absolutely all
campus affair of the year. No
lunches were served in any living
organization on the campus but
the picnic lunches were appetizing
and filling. Carolyn Haberlach
was general chairman. She was as
sisted by Jack Edlefsen, Constance
Baker, Thomas Moran, Dulcie Lyt
sell, Maryellyn Bradford, and Carl
Gerlinger.
The most thrilling and most im
portant feature of the luncheon
was, of course, the solemn, impres
sive, black-robed processions of
the members of Mortar Board and
of Friars, senior honorary socie
ties. Aside from this, hilarity and
gaiety marked the afternoon. It
was not even allowed that a man
speak to a co-ed, but many and
clever were the decoys. The duck
ing pond has seldom been so popu
lar.
A tennis court dance, of which
Bill Preble was in charge, followed
the luncheon.
Music was furnished for both of
these events, as it was for the fete
last night, and will be for all of
today's events by the Ten Com
manders.

University Student Interest
In Religion Is Declared Great
Editor's note: This is the
fourth of a series of articles be
ing published in the Emerald
concerning united student relig
ious work and its relation to the
Oregon campus.)
By JACK BELLINGER
Students of the University of
Oregon are interested in religion
and have definite needs that at
present lack fulfillment, according
to a report just completed by the
student findings committee of the
student-faculty forum on religion.
The committee has come to the
following conclusions regarding re
ligious trends on the campus:
In noting the subjects chosen by
report writing students for their
term papers, it was o’oserved that
a large per cent write on topics of
a religious nature.
Interviews Evidence
Through interviews with about
300 freshman women conducted by
Edna Spenker, senior in sociology,
in connection with work on her
master’s thesis, it has been discov
ered that these girls manifest a
growing interest in matters of re
ligion.
The average college man gives a
prominent place to religious sub
jects in his “bull fests.”
The quiet Sunday afternoon ves
per services formerly held on the
campus seemed to draw consistent
attendance on the part of some
students.
“V” Work Indicative
The place of the Y. W. C. A.,
Y. M. C. A., and various church or
ganizations in the programs of
some students shows active inter
ests there.
The committee also decided that
I the needs of college students in
matters of religion were, first, an
opportunity and place for quiet
meditation, worship, and thought
on vital problems of life; second,
competent and understanding
guidance in the adjustment of
religious beliefs to a growing scien
tific knowledge resulting from col
lege training; third, some means
of becoming acquainted with mod
ern, basic trends in religion where
by students may construct for
themselves a philosophy of life.
The committee made a number
of recommendations. The group
decided that in the near future
some provision should be made for
a University chapel. The groups
would have had such a room or
building to be exclusively for wor
ship and meditation, services held
there at various times but not
compulsory attendance required
under any circumstances, and the
chapel not connected with any
form or organized religion or
church.

from time to time the Emerald
should print articles on religious
subjects, growing out of campus
needs and thought on science, cam
pus life, and religion.
The student group also believes
that the Sunday afternoon vesper
services should not be confused
with concerts which break the reg
ularity of the services.
An executive council of student
pastors, leaders of church groups,
presidents of church organizations
and student associations, student
association secretaries, chairman
of the faculty-student committee
on religion and one or two other
representative students and faculty
members was suggested. The pur
pose of the council would be clear
ing on activities and fastening mu
tual understanding of common
problems. This council would not
be advisory but executive in na
ture.
It is also the opinion of the com
mittee that informal groups of up
perclassmen in the various living
organizations should attempt
through personal contact and in
fluence to help underclassmen in
adjusting their religious beliefs to
campus life, and to help them
think through their problems with
open minds.
Fred W. Calef, sophomore in pre
law, was chairman of this commit
tee.
Dean of Women Returns
Mrs. Hazel Prutsman Schwering,
dean of women, returned late Wed

there Mrs. Schwering addressed

schools and Mothers’ groups.

Three first rate acts of vaude
