TiiTANCHURIA, thousands of miles across the Pacific, and A little known to the general college student, will be brought to his attention sharply tonight. A Chinese and an American student in the University will take the stage in Villard assembly this evening, presenting for the benefit of the entire campus an accurate insight into the crisis between China and Japan. The open forum debate tonight will be between Wu Tang, champion of China’s cause, and Art Potwin, secured by the speech department as Japan's defender, and should prove one of the most interesting and enlightening debates ever offered on the campus. Both men have studied the question thoroughly, and arc excellent speakers. The chairman of the debate, Dr. Harold J. Noble, professor of history, who will present a third-party observation of the Sino-Japanese trouble, taught in Korea for several years and knows the territory. Is China or Japan in the right? The answer will be given the campus tonight at Villard hall. Quiet ^Requested ■pOR the benefit of those who have retired.” Although no such sign has been posted in Condon library, one expressing a similar wish would not be amiss. True, stu dents may not have "retired,” but more than a few nodding heads can be counted at any time of the day. As a rule we make a policy of not frequenting Condon libe any more than is absolutely necessary in getting assignments. Campus restaurants are the only other places on the campus which rival it for noise and distraction. Although bridge has not been introduced into the libe as yet, dog-fights and other diversions help in keeping up that good old atmosphere. The possibility that the libe might be made more of a place of study, for which it was originally designed, if students made a slight attempt to walk with a fair amount of quietness, has never occurred to most users of the libe. Athletic heroes and other he-men stride down the aisles with thuds which are enough to make even the sturdiest pen jump from the paper. Dear little co-eds with high-heeled shoes trip back and forth with resounding thuds which echo and re-echo. "Quiet is requested . . . for the benefit of those who want to or can study this week and next.” piinniHimiimiiinHiiniiHmiimiiiiniiiHiiiHiiiiHiiimiiimiiiHiimiiiimiiHiiiHBiiiiiBiiiiii SMART JEWELRY STORE New Schaefer’s Building XMAS SALE -offering ELGIN WAT( 1IES — ELECTRIC CLOCKS — 11AND-A1A.DK rings and dozens OF OTHER ARTICLES AT \L PRICE J j|J\ I II ® Diamonds and Costume Jewelry at m Greatly Reduced Prices li c* While Doing That Christmas Shopping It Will Pay You To Look Over Our o Co/ REDUCTION Zd /0 SALE -on all Felt Goods — Crests — Seals WHERE YOl K DOLLAR HAS MORE CENTS" University Pharmacy lltli and Alder LEMON ♦ ♦ PALOOKA * DISALUSIONMENT ISSUE * **###*%*#*#* (There ain’t no Santy Claus) * * * AND HOW DID YOU PSYCH STUDES LIKE YOUR FREUD EGGS THIS MAWNIN’?

The aver age man didn't mean to be harshly critical and was in error concern ing student contributions to the building. However, the EMERALD HAS CARRIED ONLY ONE SMALL STORY THIS TERM ABOUT THE MUSEUM, and the conclusion reached by the average man had little to contradict it at the time. But Mr. Editor- Why don’t you enumerate some more of the aver age man’s alleged intolerances and examples of immaturity? If I err on the side of too harsh criticism, you certainly fail in your writings ' to see anything wrong with the University. Oregon students are led to be lieve that grades are all important: Is that right? The Order of the “O,” athletic representatives, take unto them selves the discipline of the fresh men, a group whose average is far more intelligent than them selves. Is that right ? If any errors' in judgment have appeared in this column, let them be known as those of the average man who has tried to let honest thinking students know that they are not alone in their views. “TO ERR IS HUMAN, TO FOR GIVE DIVINE.” Women Given Late Honrs Permission for Program Eleven o'clock permission has been granted for women attending the Co-ed Capers on Wednesday, January 13, by Mrs. Hazel Pruts man Schwering, dean of women.

PHONE 395 Problem: how to answer a million a day Users of Bell System service ask “Informa tion” more than 1,000,000 questions every day. Providing facilities for answering them promptly, correctly, was one problem put up to engineers of the Bell System. So effective was their solution that this prodigious task is now a matter of smooth routine. They designed desks which enable each operator to reach quickly the listings of some 15,500,000 telephones. They developed apparatus which automatically routes calls to operators not busy —and should all operators be busy at once, it stores up calls and releases them in the order received! Efficient telephone service depends upon working out interesting problems like this. BELL SYSTEM A NATIONWIDE SYSTEM OF INTER-CONNECTING TELEPHONES
