Orient Excursion
In 1932 To Be Led
By Harold Noble
Professor Well Acquainted
With East; Students To
Get Background
A student tour to the Orient
next summer, under the head of
Dr. Harold J. Noble, assistant pro
fessor of history in the University,
will start either on June 12 from
Los Angeles or on June 17 from
San Francisco on board the new
palatial S. S. President Hoover of
the Dollar line, according to an
announcement given by the Amer
ican Express company, business
managers of the tour.
The tour is offered with a view
to giving students and others in
terested in Oriental history a real
background of their studies. The
management points out that the
travel study will enable the tour
ists to see actually what is often
referred to as the place where the
future of the world lies. It ex
plains that in no other part of the
world have historical relics been
more carefully preserved than in
China and Japan, not as museum
pieces, but as objects of daily use,
whether in the form of customary
chop-stick, in a gay funeral pro
cession, or in the statuary of a
Buddhist temple.
Dr. Harold J. Noble, organizer
and conductor of the tour was
born in and spent more than half
of his life in various parts of Asia.
He is author of numerous histori
cal articles on the Far East; was
a lecturer in Far Eastern history
during 1930 at the University of
California; and now occupies a
similar position at the University
of Oregon.
The extension division of the
University of California has auth
orized Dr. Noble to give a two
unit credit course in Asiatic his
tory in connection with the tour
he is leading. He will conduct a j
series of lectures and discussion
groups on cultural history of China
and Japan, and on International
Relation in the Far East during
the crossings of the Pacific ocean.
The course, however, may be tak
en with or without credit.
ALPHA DELTA PI—2 .
If a new song sweeps across the
campus of Oregon, its source can
be traced to the Alpha Delta Pi
house. The A. D. Pi house has
received the first copy that came
off the press of George M. Cohan’s
song entitled “Father of the Land
We Love,” written for the George
Washington bi-centennial.
Mr. Cohan, who has written sev
eral popular songs and musical
comedies, has devoted his talents
to a lyric regarding George Wash
ington. About 2,000,000 copies will
be distributed throughout the
United States next year.
Evans To Include Three
Negro Spirituals Sunday
John Stark Evans will include
three negro spirituals in his twi
light organ recital program this

“Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” and
“Keep Me From Sinking," are ar
ranged by Diton. “Deep River,”
the next number, was arranged by
Evans and will be interpreted in
an arrangement including a male
quartet.
Other numbers are “Andante
Con Mato,” which is the last
movement from Schubert’s “Un
finished Symphony,” the first hav
ing been played by Mr. Evans in
last Sunday's recital; “Abenteed”
by Robert Schumann, and “Finale"
by Douglas.
‘Oregon’s Grand Old Man'

a thoroughly interesting film story,

a “young modern,” react when her
lover jilts her for what he consid

Around this ultra sophisticated
situation a quick moving screen

“The Man From Death Valley,”

ture breaks away completely from
the hackneyed plot of the brave
cowhand who rescues a beautiful
girl in the midst of a cattle stam

place a thrilling story of a mys

Tyler, who comes to a small town

a daring get-away.
Contest for High
School Papers Is
Continued Here
Sigma Delta Chi Sponsors
Competition Formerly
Held Willi Meet
In order to keep up the interests
of journalism or newspaper work
as a whole in the high schools of
Oregon, the local chapter of Sig
ma Delta Chi, professional jour
nalism fraternity, has taken over
the contest previously held in con
junction with the annual high
school press conference held on
the campus. Through the ruling
of the state board of higher edu
cation, the conference sponsored
by the school of journalism had
to be discontinued.
The contest will be continued on
the same plan as it was last year,
with the high school publications
sending in their issues for judging.
In taking over the contest, Sigma
Delta Chi has established a free
criticism service in aiding the high
school publications along in their
various problems. The contest,
which will require three consecu
tive issues of the individual paper,
will be held some time in the
spring.
Bob Allen and Jack Bauer, mem
bers of the journalistic profes
sional, have direct charge of this
service and the contest. The five
cups which are awarded annually
will be awarded again this year.
The cups awarded are as follow:
Arnold Bennett Hall cup, given
for the best all-around high school
newspaper in the state. Among
the schools with over 500 enroll
ment the Eugene Guard cup is
given for excellence. Papers with
fewer than 500 students will vie
for the Eugene Register cup, given
to the best judged paper in the
four years 01 college training, j
There would then be a small per
centage of college students who
would receive a diploma cum laude,
and then the great majority would
receive a certificate for four years
of residence at the University.
“Professors do not like to give
grades,” Dr. Hodge continued.
"Grades are merely the idea of the
students. By my plan, students
could come to class or not just as
they saw fit and it would be up
to them whether they got any
thing from their education or not.”

I Hodge Approves
Of No Grade Idea
For College Class
“Our present educational system
is wrong,’’ says Dr. E. T. Hodge
of the geology department. "Any
student can listen to a professor
and memorize his lectures and fire
the same information back to him
in an examination, but not every
student does really get something
from college that is going to help
him in later life.
“Some of our Phi Beta Kappas
are merely nitwits with a renten
tive mind. I can’t see that it does
anyone a great deal of good to be
able to write an ‘A’ paper on an
examination if they are not really
benefited by their education.”
Instead of the mid-term and
term examinations Dr. Hodge
ivould substitute a final compre
hensive examination at the end of
small high school field, and the
school having the best array of
school news notes in the local pa
per will be awarded the Harris
Ellsworth cup. The best mimeo
graphed paper, from the stand
point of content, will compete for
the Eric W. Allen cup, and the
best mechanical makeup will re
ceive the W. E. Finzer company
trophy. This is the fourth year
this contest has been held.
