DEBATERS WIN MANY TILTS IN AUSTRALIA (Continual from I’of/r Oilr) missed our raccoon coats, and con fidently expected to see us swing a brace of eight-cylinder sport roadsters from the hold of the ship on which we arrived. Prosperity Myth Troublesome The British tradition and lack of standardization in American high er education has given American degrees a black-eye in the Domin ion anil the Commonwealth. In India, also, we have found that the only American degrees which are accepted at face value are in elec trical engineering and agriculture. Score one for O. S. C.! As business manager, Bob Miller has been sorely pressed in beating off the crowd of coolies, porters. tonga drivers, rickshaw men, room boys and just ordinary beggars who have been making strenuous efforts to reduce the tour’s treas ury to a condition similar to the University’s. There are no tourists traveling in India now, and a stray American is immediately assumed to be the son of Andrew Carnegie or Mr. Mellon’s nephew. Some thing must be done to teach public servants in foreign countries the great gulf that lies between Amer ican college boys and the butter and-egg men who represent our country with such honor in foreign capitals. Has She a Mind? Roger Ffaff, debating manager, has drawn a great deal of press applause in every city we have visited, and has won mo- ; than one audiencc-vote debate for us by appealing to the vanity of feminine portion of the audience. Tomorrow he is going to address the student body at the Isabel Thorburn Col lege for Girls. His subject is to be “The American College Girl Has She a Mind?” Our experiences in India have been many and varied, but we will spare the columns of the Emerald further affliction until next week’s mail, when we can survey the whole of our Indian tour in mature retrospect from Calcutta, from which we sail for Hongkong, via alluring Singapore, on June 17. P.S.--If anyone wants to lay any bets on the Washington or O. S. C. games, just cable us c|o American Express, Hongkong, giv ing full address so that we can reply collect without a hitch.

Young, au thor of the Young plan and direc tor of International General Elec tric company, which is cited by Dr. John R. Mez as one of the best comments on education tie has read. In (he address, which was made at St. Lawrence university, of | I which Mr. Young is a member of; j the board of trustees, he asked' five questions of the graduates. I The questions as quoted by Dr. Mez are: “Have you enlarged your knowl edge of obligations and increased your capacity to perform them? "Have you developed your intu itions and made more sensitive j your emotions? "Have you discovered your men- j tal aptitude? "Have you learned enough about the machinery of society | and its history to enable you to | apply your gifts effectively? “Have you acquired adequate skill in communication with oth ers?” Mr. Young wonders whether col lege courses have not tended to exalt "the mere operations of the conscious mind.” He also won ders if the emotions have not been deadened by too much application to cold mathematics and exact sciences. Dr. Mez pointed out that while Mr. Young urged and advised cul tivation of the emotions and in tuitions he is a man who has had to deal extensively with cold sci entific facts and the solid figures of international finance. In commenting on the five ques tions Dr. Mez preferred to trans pose them into the present tense, and asked, "Are you doing them?” Dr. Mez went on to quote a part of Mr. Young’s address: "I commend to you an examina tion of what your obligations are in this modern world and a con tinuing study of how you intend to perform them. Democracies will fail unless you do. The po litical liberty of the individual will be diminish&l from necessity un less you do. Dictators will arise to perform your responsibilities, and having performed them, they , will take their full toll from your < liberties. Our colleges are in de fault in this great field of research i and instruction. No diplomas : should be granted until men and women know something more i about the area of their obligations ] in life and something more about j their duty in their performance.” j Some of the social science courses in the University are tend ing to develop the emotions and the intuitions, according to Dr. Mez. He adds, however, that they are few and that the number of students coming in contact with them is far too small. Civilization to be Topic At Sunday Discussions A series of Sunday evening forums discussing “What I would do to reconstruct our present civi lization” is to be held at the Con gregational church during the next 11 weeks. Representatives of different oc cupations will open the discussion at each meeting. This group of speakers includes many of Eu gene's prominent business men and four University professors.

Colonial -“Gold Dust Gertie,” with Winnie Lightner. State—“Partners of the Trail,” and Tom Tyler. Heilig "Defenders of the Law," starring Eill Houston and Phil Perry. By RALPH MASON “Pardon Us” at McDonald Laurel and Hardy, who appear in their first feature length com edy, “Pardon Us,” are disappoint ing. Everything they do is up roariously funny, hut they make the fatal mistake of overdoing it. If "Pardon Us” could be con densed to two-reel length it would be a veritable knockout; as it is the audience is worn out after the first 15 minutes and from then on it is pitiful. There is little plot to the pic ture, all the attention being cen tered on the inane antics of the two “Beer Barons” — as their prison record lists them. “Pardon Us” is unusual in two ways: there is a scarcity of the fair sex in the cast, and it is al ways possible to anticipate just what is coming next. Possibly if there was some more of the for mer there might be less of the lat ter. These are harsh words, but please “Pardon Us.” “M o n k e y Business,” starring the four Marx brothers in their latest comedy riot, is coming to the McDonald Sunday. Winnie Lightner at Colonial Miss Lightner and that hard-to beat Olsen and Johnson combina tion do some topspeed slapstick clowning in their latest hit, “Gold Dust Gertie,’’ showing at the Co lonial for the last time today. “The Wise Child,” starring Mar ion Davies, opens for a two-day run at the Colonial Sunday. “The Viking,” first talkie to be filmed in the arctic, will open for its first run at the Colonial some time next week. “Defenders of the Law” at Heilig “Defenders of the Law,” a gang ster picture featuring Bill Hous ton and Phil Perry, is playing at the Heilig today. “Children of Dreams” will open Sunday. Tom Tyler at State “Partners of Trail,” starring Tom Tyler, is showing for the last time today. A Saturday night preview of “Women Go On For ever,” a first-run picture featur ing Clara Kimball Young, will be shown. “Women Go On Forever” is filled with ribald humor, sure fire action, frankness and spicy situations. It will run till Tues day. Fine Volumes Augment Ilomer Book Collection Tv/o interesting and valuable books hhve been added to the Pauline Potter Homer collection of the University library during the past week. The books are gifts of Walter Church, ’16, a Portland architect and former University student. They are pub lications of the Limited Editions club, which issues only 1500 copies of each book they accept. The titles are: “An Iceland Fisher man,” by Pierre Loti, and a trans lation of “Aucassin and Nicol lette,” by Andrew Lang. Another recent addition of much interest is a set of “Don Quixote” in Spanish. The set, which con tains two volumes, was procured by the library, aided by Sigma Delta Pi, Spanish honorary. Oregon Best Architectural School Russian Student Says “Back home in Siberia I used to hear of the United States as a country where civilization is at its greatest height and as a land where opportunities for education al pursuit are more abundant than elsewhere, that I decided to come over.” Thus spoke a Russian member of the International house, Michael Haimovich, junior in architecture, when interviewed in his study room yesterday afternoon. “I like Oregon in spite of its , rainy weather. The climate and the surrounding country are very much the same as those of the place where I was born,” Haimo vich said. “You probably want to know why I came to attend the school of architecture of the University of Oregon. I lived in California for more than two years and it was there where I became ac quainted with people who had studied in this University. They told me that you have a wonder ful schools of music and architec ture here. I am glad to say that the two years I have spent in school on this campus have con vinced me that what I was told about Oregon is true. “I have also heard,” Haimovich added, “about the ‘hello’ spirit on this campus.’’ He said he likes the Oregon traditions, although, ac cording to him, he, himself, was negligent in wearing the green lid when he was a freshman. Haimovich expressed approval of the campus. “I think it is pretty. There are lots of places in and around Eugene where I can go for a ride or a hike, and right close to the campus is the Mill race. I just love to go canoe ing as I did enjoy boating back home,” he explained. Haimovich has a taste for ar tistic beauty. He is a talented pianist, but due to the pressure of his studies in the school of architecture, he is not able to take courses in the school of music. Speaking on the International house, of which he is a member, Haimovich said: “I think the Uni versity of Oregon is leading other institutions in the promotion of in ternational friendship. Perhaps be cause I am a Russian, I have al ways been individualistic. Eut my stay in the house, during which time I have been in constant con tact with foreign as well as Amer ican students, has made me inter nationally-minded. And due to the prevailing homelike atmosphere, I am not at all home-sick.” Quality Is the factor that makes the purchase here satisfactory. 4 YEARS ON THE CAMPUS WALORA CANDIES “THERE IS A REASON” 851 East 13th m older than you think I am • m © 1931, Ligcktt Sc Myers Tobacco Co. “BUT I remember some of the things that I heard when I was younger. “I was told to watch out for one of those so called friends who is so mighty glad to see you today—almost going to hug you; and the next time you see her, is holding her head high up in the air and won’t even speak to you. “I was thinking about this while I was enjoy ing a CHESTERFIELD cigarette. You know, I have been smoking CHESTERFIELDS quite a long time, and they are not like some of our friends—one thing today and another thing tomorrow. They are always the same—always mild—always so pleasing in taste. They just satisfy all the time. “By the way, that reminds me of something. I was playing bridge recently with a girl friend of mine and two men, and after we finished the game they began lambasting a whole lot of things and folks. Some of the talk was right funny, you couldn’t help laughing; but, really, they pulled down a whole lot of things, and didn’t build up anything. “And that reminded me of a salesman who called to see me the other day to tell me some thing about CHESTERFIELD. The thing that pleased me more than anything else was that he didn’t lambast and cuss out any other cigarette; but, of course, he thought that CHESTER FIELD was the best... And I rather agree with him. They do satisfy.” GOOD ... they’ve got to be good!
