Rhodes Scholars Leave Friday for Competitive Tests Elimination of Applicants Is Second Step in Test Procedure Tlie six University applicants j for the Rhodes scholarship will j leave Friday for the examination of all the scholarship applicants ( from Oregon, which will be held | in Portland Saturday, December 5, at the University club. This is I the second step in the examina tion procedure in which the par ticipants have to compete to ob-: tain scholarship. Rhodes scholarships are tenable at the University of Oxford for a period of two or three years, de pending upon the ability of the | student. The fund is fixed at ap- | proximately $2,000 a year. The United States is assigned I annually 32 of these scholarships, j The states have been divided into eight sections to facilitate the se lecting of the scholars. Oregon’s section includes Washington, Ore gon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota. As a first step the Oregon ap plicants had to appear before the University Foreign Scholarship committee for the elimination ex amination. At this examination Robert Hall, John Halderman, Wallace Campbell, George Har rington, Frank Lombard, and Da- ; vid Lombard were selected as Uni versity representatives. These students leave Friday for Portland, where, Saturday morn ing, they will take part in the state elimination. The state com mittee of selection will choose two from the group of applicants from the entire state for entrance in the district competition to be held two weeks later. From the applicants before the district, committee, not more than four will be selected to represent their states at Oxford as Rhodes scholars. This system of electing the winners of these scholarships was inaugurated last year. SECRETARY ON VISIT Claire L.

CANCELLING OF LEVY TO SAVE HOUSES $3200 (Continued from rage One) taxes would be reduced 27 per cent were dashed by Mr. Keeney, who pointed out that the figures ap plied only to property outside the city of Eugene. The actual re duction to the Eugene resident is about 10 per cent. University Not Affected In all probability, the operation of the University of Oregon will not be affected by the plan to finance state operations without property levies. Funds for the in stitutions of higher learning will be as great under the new plan as in the past, according ‘ to a statement of Earl L. Fisher, mem ber of the state tax commission. Revenue from excise and intan gible taxes, added to savings through waiver of the veterans' aid tax, repeal of the market road tax, and savings in operation of state institutions are estimated to make up the difference. Tax Source Not Factor Financial support for the insti tutions of higher learning is de rived mainly from a millage tax of 2.04 mills a year on property valuations, but it has been con sidered that this does not neces sarily mean that the money must be raised by property levies. As long us the schools receive the equivalent of the 2.04 mills property tax, news reports point out, it makes little difference whether the money comes from in come taxes, excise taxes or prop erty taxes. TRIPLE WELCOME PLAN FOR DEBATING TEAM (Continued from rage One) "The Pacific Basin tour stands for that very thing. Oregon has become the mythical world cham pion of international debating. "The reception and rally given throughout this state are being designed adequately to commem orate this noteworthy event in the history of Oregon.” All members of the welcoming committee will meet this afternoon at 4:30 in the speech offices. i TALKIE TOPICS ► i lii-tt....

By RALPH MASON “Compromised” at Heilig In most pictures the uniting of ; I two ends of society in matrimony! ! usually leads to one stereotyped 1 ending. This, however, does not hold true in “Compromised,” which I opens in much the usual way and i for a time pursues the well-worn ! path that so many directors seem ! unable to diverge from. The theme is far from original and Hobart and Lyon do little to make it outstanding in any way. Caste, pride and selfishness are the elements which lead Gillingwater, father of Ben Lyon, to make a rift in a peaceful and happy fam ily. Delmar Watson who plays the part of Sandy, Hobart’s young son, furnishes the life and gaiety in ] this rather commonplace film. The climax is somewhat unusual, al | though not exciting, the title un fortunately giving it away before hand. * * * Novarro at Colonial Lovers of love stories, gayly, done, shading from clever comedy j to the very threshold of tragedy, j will undoubtedly take to their hearts “Daybreak,” the new Ra mon Novarro picture, which is i showing for the last time today ! at the Colonial. I "Daybreak,” presents Novarro, the always popular, as Kasea, gay, love adventuring lieutenant of a I Viennese regiment before the war. ! There is to "Daybreak” much of that irresistible atmosphere of con tinental romance and intrigue which made “The Affairs of Ana tol,” so diverting to American au diences. “In Line of Duty,” at State Presenting the first all-star drama to be filmed in a Canadian northwest locale since the incep tion of the talking picture, Mono gram’s gripping melodrama, “In israrararaini3[f3rai3frarf3|P(r3[PRifidrpraf;3[Rrr]'5]fn]ri: Rose Hobart who is starred with Ben Lyon in “Compromised,” which is showing at the Heilig till Friday. Line of Duty,” with Sue Carol and Noah Beery, is showing for a two days' run at the State. "In Line of Duty,” with its tensely dramatic plot and its wholesome out-door setting, pre sents a welcome relief to the re cent sordid run of gangster melo dramas and social problem plays. • * * Youthful Actors at McDonald Pitfalls that beset the path of modern youth form the theme of “Are These Our Children?” a thought-compelling photoplay that opens today at the McDonald for a two-day run. It is a strong story, dramatized with skill and sympathy by an ex cellent cast under the direction of Wesley Ruggles, who also wrote the story. There can be no ques tion that the play is interesting; it will keep audiences on the edge of their seats to the last pathetic scene and word. There also is no question that it teaches a strong moral lesson in a manner more vivid and convincing than a great many books and sermons. The presentation is artistic, too, show ing a fine sense of balance and re pression.
