National Conference Lauds
U. of O. Debate, Journalism
'Mimnaugh Attends Annual
Congress; A. S. V. O.
Ticice Praised
f -
Brian Mimnaugh, student body
president, has recently returned
from the seventh annual congress
of the National Student Federa
tion of America, which met in To
ledo, Ohio, from December 27 to
31.
The first official act of the con
gress was the passing of a reso
lution commending the University
of Oregon on work in interna
tional debating. More progress
has been made in this field by
Oregon than by any other institu
tion in the country.
System Here “Ideal”
According to the findings of the
congress, the University of Ore
gon has an ideal system pertain
ing to journalism. Mimnaugh out
lined the functions of our board
of publication for the N. S. F. A.
Students from eastern institutions
especially considered the system
here to be ideal.
One of the important services
which the N. S. F. A. renders to
the students of America is made
through the travel bureau. Stu
dents who plan to go abroad are
helped in obtaining special rates
and arranging their itineraries.
Foreign students are also assisted
by the bureau.
Several recommendations for the
betterment of colleges and univer
sities were made by the congress.
Some of them follow:
The publications committee
should have power to appoint and
replace editors of school publics
tions and yearbooks. Its power
.should be advisory rather than dic
tatorial.
All students should be compelled
to subscribe to yearbooks.
Scholarships Get O. K.
Scholarships to athletes were
justified. The congress considered
this to be comparable to scholar
ships granted to musicians and
| art majors.
The N. S. F. A. declared against
compulsory military training.
The committee on international
relations was the largest in the
entire meet. Representatives from
the southern states believed that
students did not know enough
about foreign affairs to discuss
them intelligently. This was not
the opinion of the majority, how
ever.
The entry of the United States
into the League of Nations and
the World Court was favored.
The United States should not
protect by force of arms invest
ments of American citizens in for
eign countries.
Prohibition Voted Down
The congress is opposed to pro
hibition as it now stands.
Edward R. Murrow, Washington
State college, who has been presi
dent for the past two years, pre
sided at the conference. New of
ficers elected were: Kelly Niemic,
University of Arizona, president;
Evelyn Mae Coffey, Southern
Methodist university, vice-presi
dent; and F. J. Ives of the Uni
versity of Florida, treasurer.
The next congress of the Na
tional Student Fdeeration of
America will be held in New Or
leans, Louisiana.

Engberg has been enthusiasti
cally received in recent concerts
in Seattle. His voice is strong
and well handled. Born in Copen
hagen, Denmark, Engberg spent
the first five years of his life in
Europe. His mother was then
studying violin in continental mu
sic centers.
He received his education in the
Pacific Northwest, later going to
Harvard, where he was a member
of the famous Harvard glee club.
After graduation, he studied voice
in Copenhagen, Berlin, and Vienna,
his teachers being some of the
finest masters of operatic singing
in the Old World.
Engberg will be in the North
west only a few weeks more, since
he must leave in February to fill
operatic engagements in Austria
and Germany.

“Drefus Case,” at Ht-ilig
This portrayal of one of the most
widely known and talked of crim
inal cases is accurately called “a
page out of history,” for it is just
that. The picture centers upon the
trial in 1894, the conviction, and
ultimate release of Captain Alfred
Dreyfus of the French army. In
cidentally Dreyfus is now living
quietly in the south of France.
Cedric Hardwicke who plays the
part of Dreyfus resists the tempta
tion to over-dramatize his part and
in doing so presents a more oc
curate characterization of the real
man. Beatrix Thompson as Drey
fus' ever faithful wife plays a mi
nor part, not enough it seems to
really give justice to her undying
and finally successful efforts to
secure her husband’s release.
Capitalizing on the notoriety of
this case and the authenticity
which Dreyfus himself vouched for,
the film strives to present an un
adulterated picturization of what
misguided justice is capable of.
By ROY SHEEDY
Fox McDonald
The divorce problem at Reno
still lies heavily on the minds of
some of our talkie scenarists, as
witness the current production,
“The Road to Reno,” showing for
the last time today at the McDon
ald. The picture presents a dram
atic episode in the life of a New
York family, the mother of which
could not stay married or single.
Most of the action takes place in
Reno. This picture, incidentally,
carries the last stand of the ju
venile, Charles “Buddy” Rogers,
who is about to offer his talents to
radio orchestral work. The radio
probably will receive Buddy more
kindly.

Colonial till Saturday.
I
: grown daughter (Peggy Shannon),
and William Boyd (of the stage)
carry off whatever acting honors
there are in this slow-moving
drama. Attempts to lighten this
picture with a bit of comedy are
sad. Skeets Gallagher, whose hu
mor is usually so effervescent, is
pitiful.
Strengthening the program, how
ever, is one of those interesting
Paramount "Screen Souvenirs,”
showing bits of the movies of 30
years ago. Part of a Chaplin com
edy is featured.
“Monkey Business” at Colonial
If you like good, absolutely
"nerty” musical comedy, let the
four Marx Brothers make "Monkey
Business,” for you. This constant
ly uproarious picture which is sat
urated with witty witticisms and
silly syllables is showing till Sat
urday at the Colonial.
The four Marx brothers give a
comic touch that is a knock-out.
“Seas Beneath,” at State
"Seas Beneath,” starring George
O’Brien in a tale of wandering
j waves and women which is showing
at the State for today only.
Dean Schwering
Asks Scheduling
Of Dantes Early
Failure To Plaee Functions
On Social List Will
Cause Canceling
All dances given by sororities,
fraternities, classes, or other or
ganizations must be approved by
the dean of women’s office, Hazel
P. Schwering, .dean of women, an
nounced today. The petitions for
the dances must be filled in her of
fice one week in advance of the
event. Failure to do this will can
cel the dance, she further stated.
The petition forms, which are
available in the dean’s office, have
blanks for the names of the pa
trons and patronesses. The per
sons listed must have been invited
and accepted before the petition is
filed with Alice B. Macduff, as
sisting dean of women, Mrs.
Schwering said.
The dean of women, in issuing
this statement at this early date,
hopes that all organizations will
cooperate. “This would save the
office from much congestion. We
send notes to all those listed as pa
trons and patronesses and there
are a large number of dances
scheduled for the winter term,”
she concluded.
