Faculty Observes Book Week With Literary Program [Three Professors Speak al o Meeting in Store Auditorium Many members of the Univer sity of Oregon faculty have taken part in the observance of National Book week here in Eugene. At the National Book week pro gram Tuesday in the McMorran and Washburne store auditorium, Mrs. Ottilie T. Seybolt, of the de partment of drama, talked on “Modern Drama.” Professor Er nest G. Moll, of the department of English, gave a talk on “Tenden cies in Modern Poetry.” Other features on this same pro gram were: vocal solos by Miss Agnes Petzold, a pupil of Arthur Boardman of the University; a re view of John Galsworthy’s first full length novel in four years, “Maid in Waiting,” by Miss Nancy Roberts, who is now in charge of the book balcony at the University Co-op store; a review by Eloise Knox on the book, "The Cat Who Went to Heaven”; and the story of “Igloo,” Admiral Byrd’s dog, by Mrs. Kenneth Schumaker. This program was put on through the cooperation of Coe Stationery and the University Co-op with the Mc Morran and Washburne store. Miss Lenore Casford, of the Uni versity library, gave a talk at Garden Way before the P. T. A. This talk on “Children’s Books” was gvien with the idea to influ ence the child's and parents’ choice of books. Miss Casford also gave a talk on “Books and Reading” at the graduate nurses’ headquar ters. The purpose of this address was to help nurses get away from reading material that pertains only to their profession. Miss Casford helped p jint out that a systematic course of reading laid a founda tion for general culture. Former Oregon Student Reports Research Work Alums Studying in Paris On Nerve Conduction Phenomena Dr. Herbert Jasper, graduate of the Oregon department of psychol ogy, taking his master’s degree in ’29, and his doctor’s degree later from the State University of Iowa, has just informed the department that lie and Mrs. Jasper are in Paris on a year of research study. Mr. Jasper received a fellowship from the National Research coun cil to study the phenomenon of cfironoxide in nerve conduction at Sorbonne in the laboratory of Pro fessor LaPique. He will also visit other European laboratories dur ing his year abroad. Mrs. Jasper, who was Miss Constance Cledver while in attendance at the Univer sity of Oregon, received her mas ter’s degree in psychology at Iowa this year. Dr. Jasper and Robert Y. Walk er, also an Oregon psychology graduate at Iowa, have recently invented and constructed a new moving picture camera to measure the eye movements in reading. Their camera records the move ments of both eyes in both hori zontal and vertical directions si multaneously. This is a consider able improvement over other sim ilar instruments and is being used in a large number of institutions in improvement of reading.

By RALPH MASON “Expensive Women” at Heilig “I’m just an expensive women,” sighs Dolores Costello, in her lat est picture, “Expensive Women.” Playing opposite Costello is Wil liam Warren, as Neil Hartley, a musical genius who composes son atas and makes spaghetti. A marvelous change has oc curred in Dolores’ voice, her dic tion is superb, speaking each word with clearness and meaning. It is with this valuable attribute and her sheer beauty that she causes first Hartley and later Arthur Raymond (Anthony Bushnell) to fall madly in love with her. Dealing with high, wine-mad so ciety, the picture unfolds scenes of reckless love which lead to mur der. This crime while only inci dental, eventually brings ultimate happiness to those involved. "Expensive Women,” breaks two rules that every good picture should have, namely, there is no central character, and, the murder of Raymond goes unpunished. These inconsistencies spoil an oth erwise fine vehicle for Costello’s return. * * * •lurries Dunn ut McDonald They called her a "Sob Sister” because she scooped them at every turn. Her life was composed of murders, suicides and kidnappings. She was despised by all the other reporters, especially Garry Web ster (Jimmy Dunn) who took especial pains to slam her at ev ery opportunity. In spite of all this, Linda Wat kins, as Jane Ray, learned to love Jimmy—till the telephone rang, then she was a "sob sister” again. Jimmy whose smile would melt a brick, still has the same youthful charm that, made him the hit in "Bad birl.” “Sob Sister” is a tale of the newspapers, starting slowly, it jumps around from place to place till the story comes along and then the sky is the limit—no time for theme songs or kisses—that is, till the end. "Riders of the Purple Sage,” starring George O'Brien, is show ing Friday and Saturday. * * * “Honeymoon Lune” at Colonial Eddie Dowling is starring in “Honeymoon Lane” which is show ing at the Colonial for the last Dolores Costello, who returns to the screen with a new voice, and new personality in ‘^Expensive Wo men,” showing at the Heilig till Friday. time today in connection with Joe Daniels’ vodvil “Varieties.” * * * John Boles at State "One Heavenly Night,” starring John Boles in a picture dealing with cabarets and night clubs is showing at the State today and Friday. HOUSE HEADS FLAY EMERALD CO ED RAGE (Continued from Page One) test hasn’t met with the approval of the students,” Russell Brown, manager of the Colonial theatre, said. “We had planned it with the express purpose of interesting the University students and giving Oregon co-eds some publicity. However, since the idea of a pop- j ularity contest hasn’t met with the approval of the heads of houses or the dean of women, we would not think of continuing with it.” BROOKE, BENNETT, ROOT WIN IN BOOK CONTEST!

Drummer Geary To Beat Tympan In Very Big Way What does a drummer think about during an orchestra con cert ? The Emerald will interview Martin Geary, tympanist, with the University Symphony orches tra .after tonight’s concert at the Music building, and hopes to be able to solve the question for all mankind, and for Emerald readers in particular. “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” modernistic work of Dukas to be played as the second number on the program which begins at 8:15 and costs two bits to hear, will employ some fancy drumming by Geary, and also will require the use of four assistants on the chimes, cymbals, triangle, snare drum, and bazoo. The orchestra will not play the “Peanut Vendor” this year, because it is too hard on Geary to play the typmani and the peanut whistle at the same time. Also because there has been no orchestral score written for it— and because it is not symphonic music. But those who sit where they can watch Martin Geary tonight will have ringside seats at a cir cus, as far as concerns the “Sor cerer’s Apprentice.” When the broom is supposed to be running away with itself carrying water from the well to drown the mis chievous magician, Geary will keep up the rhythm against John Fin ley’s wierd bassoon solos. And the effect will be that of "Good Night, Sweetheart,” played backwards. Watch for the interview. DeNeffe’s Knock Out SALE offers a great opportunity to stock up at low prices.
