Office Mana^'r Jack Wood* uaxnryn uau^nriuKt; There’s the Bell TN a philosophical frame of mind the Emerald reflects on the disturbing question: Which is more annoying, students com ing into class one to ten minutes late, or professors who keep their classes one to five minutes after the bell has rung ? As students we had best say little about our aptitude for appearing in classes late. We leave that to professors to dis cuss and find means to eliminate it. We in turn assert the right to discuss an aptitude of certain professors to hold classes over time. Paradoxically, students declare that the most annoying part about being held in class until five minutes till the hour is the difficulty they then have in reaching the next class on time.. Quizzes, locked doors, and other devices are used to encourage promptness, and with a class in Villard dismissed several min utes after the gang has rung one needs seven-league boots to get to the barraefts, Oregon building, or the Education building for another class. For the sake of clearness we will divide the professors being considered as disrespecters of lime into three classes: 1. Those who need the extra two or five minutes to cinch a critical point. With this group we have no bone to pick. After spending a good part of the hour to build up to his final point, only to be interrupted by the bell, it is essential to the efficiency of the course that the professor continue until he has success fully gotten the point across. 2. Those who never cinch a point, but merely continue to talk. We are carrying our little quarrel actively into this camp. When a point has been made clear, and the bell rings, why con tinue to talk? Ip classes taught by these professors the students as a rule begin noisy preparations for their exit the moment the bell rings and the professor is dimly heard, if it all. 3. Those who ignore the hour completely and bring up some thing entirely new. These are particularly regarded with ex treme impatience by the student. After all, the bell is a signal for the end of the hour and the recitation or lecture. If nothing advantageous is to be gained by continuing, the signal should be recognized and \vhat the professor had to say can be more effectively said at the beginning of the next class period. Law School’s Stock up 35 /''vNCE again Oregon's superiority in the field of the profes sions conies to the fore, with the law school showing a 35 per cent increase in enrollment so far over the same time last year. In all, 126 students are registered as against 93 for the year 1930-31. These are significant figures, deserving, we believe, of cam pus scrutiny. The Oregon law school has always maintained high standards, and each year graduates taking the state bar examination are more successful in increasing numbers in gain ing admission to the practice of law. Last summer, 19 of the 40-odd students taking the bar examination were Oregon grad uates, and IS passed the rigid quiz. Oregon’s score may still reach 100 per cent, for the work of the nineteenth University graduate is being reconsidered by the examiners. High standards of scholarship and achievement reflect the character of the law school's faculty, one of the best to be found. There is a balance between older men and younger, be tween established ideas and youthful enthusiasm. Additions to the teaching staff have been made wisely, and if no other factor were contributing to the law school's success, its faculty would certainly attract the increased enrollment. Service and distinction in the state and nation is the third contributing factor to the law school's place in (he sun. Through the Oregon Law Review, a publication to which both faculty and students contribute, and through the annual Hilton law prize contests, which bring wide recognition to the winners, the Oregon law school lias spread its influence. With the increase in enrollment this year and with better standards we look for an even brighter future for the law school, its able dean, Wayne L. Morse, and its faculty. Campus Life Steps to the Mike TAST Monday afternoon the Emerald-of-tlie-Air began its second year as a part of the activities sponsored by this paper. Every week-day at 4:15 this student program is broad cast over KOKH, and for 1 > minutes listeners-in are virtually taken to the campus to witness a many sided university life. Digests of student news and of student thought, programs of student musical and dramatic talent, and timely discussions by leading authorities to be found among the faculty should form a series of broadcasts diverse enough to touch almost every phase of campus work The programs are meant primarily for a non-student audi ence, although we think campus folk will find in them much that is entertaining. In Eugene there are nearly 20,000 in habitants, and Lane county rural sections claim close to 30,000 more. The Oregon campus is practically in the center of this area, and in main respects it is the center ot Lane county activity, certainly in the fields of education and sports, if in no others. And it is with tin in mind that the Emerald sponsors a daily radio program. If wc are able to acquaint the people living about us with our activities and what we are trying to accomplish, a more friendly interest will be taken in our institution. The older generation often liu a hazy conception of higher education. In these trying times taxpayers must be reassured that higher learning is really a good investment, and it is up to the young men and women who profit directly to show them the facts. The Emerald-of-tlie-Air r» attempting, in a small way, to carry out that purpose. Norris Studies With Famous Physicists During Summer i \Conducts Research With /. I. Rahi at Columbia University The privilege of studying with two men who hold national repu tation:; as physicists, was accord ed Dr. Will V. Norris, associate professo.- of physics and math. Dr. E. U. Condon, professor of physic:; at Princeton, and, accord ing to Dr. Norris, probably the greatest American authority on quantum mechanics, was the Ore gon man’s instructor in a course entitled ‘‘Quantum Mechanics.” “The Structure of Molecules,” under the author of an authorita tive and widely known scientific text on molecular structure, Dr. H. C. Urey, occupied most of the time spent by Dr. Norris at the Columbia university summer ses sion. Dr. Norris left the Oregon cam pus in June and went to Pasadena, California, where he attended the Pacific coast division meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. From there he proceeded to his studies on the Columbia campus. Concurrently with his studies, Dr. Norris participated in some re- j search work with Dr. I. I. Habi, a well known physicist. His work was based on the quantum me chanics method of obtaining the difraction pattern resulting from the passage of a stream of par ticles through a solid material. The work was theoretical and mathe matical and had no immediate practical value except the influ- j ence it would have in the ultimate solution of molecular structure. Further research work to be conducted on the Oregon campus may result from Dr. Norris’ inves tigations with Dr. Rabi, it was re vealed last night. Dr. Norris in timated that important results might be obtained. Dr. Norris spent about eight weeks at Columbia after which time he attended the national meeting of the American Chemical society. He acted in the capacity of counsellor for Oregon, since Professor Jones of O. S. C., the regular counsellor, could not at tend. THE GREEN JESTER L Good morning, ladies and gen tlemen and Sigma Nu's. Let us herewith introduce that haunting little melody, the kitten song of Phi Mu:— “Phi Mu will you pet me?” Moose we explain the above ? * * * What’s this we hear about young Albin Walter Norblad running for mayor of Astoria? Reliable re ports say that he receieved 3, the next highest number of ballots for that noble office. We wonder if the said Albin Walter didn’t catch the fever from Bill Bartle, a one time candidate for justice of the peace in Eugene. Bill is the boy with the beautifully curled hair. It is the kind of curl a co-ed dreams about. A song has been composed to it. Maybe you have heard it? It goes: “Curl of my dreams . . . * * * Allow us to congratulate the Sigma t’hi’s on the verdant green ness of their new lawn.

BALANCE (Continued from Page One) resources and ask for the maxi mum. B. F. Irvine, for many years an O. S. C. regent, flared back that that had been the policy at the State college for 30 years, with full knowledge of the board, and that he thought it a desirable practice. Charge Confirmed This revelation, board members say, bears out the charge of the University for many years that the college has not been “shooting square” in regard to its state ments to the legislature when ap propriations were to be made for the institutions. The policy of the board will be to put an end to all such practices, it is said. Dr. Hall and Dr. Kerr each filed requests with the board for $37, 000 of the fund. The University’s share, it is said, would be used for the medical school in Portland. The requests were referred to the finance committee for considera tion. The board also referred to the finance committee the ques tion of whether or not to restore an appropriation of $9,000 to car ry on the work of the University alumni association. Travelling expenses are to be allowed the presidents of the Ore gon Dads and the Oregon Mothers under the terms of a resolution passed by the board. The board directed Secretary Lindsey to draw up uniform regu lations regarding fee requirements from out-of-state students. Actual legal residence is to be the only basis for exemptions under the new plan. Junior Committee Will Discuss Proposed Dance A committee consisting of Vir gil Langtry, Cecil Espy,, and Sand ford Platt was appointed by Bob Hall, junior class president, in a class meeting last night, to meet with a senior class committee, to discuss plans for a fall term upper class dance.

Meantime, it is no secret that Harvey Welch, as Vincent Leach, the scenario writer, or “scenar ist” as he insists on styling him self, has a particularly choice role. In fact, while gently presenting the ridiculousness of sweet bro midic little chatterboxes, for whom the name “Dulcy has now become the generic term, the au thors have sharply satirized what Mr. Hacket in the New Republic calls “two of America’s most aw ful spiritual afflictions, the ‘ad man' and the moving picture pro ductionist.’’ Jack Stipe will ap pear as the ‘ad man,’ the big go getter, who talks business, busi ness, always business—even to the girl he wants to marry.
